The room fell into silence. After a long time, the Pope finally said with difficulty: "Those villages outside the city..."
"It's time to pay the price, and I won't let one go."
"Soldiers in the city—"
"The Knights of Wellington from Efta will arrive here with reinforcements tomorrow."
Rubens' answer made the Pope's expression completely sluggish. He leaned back on the chair weakly, and could only wave his hands and said, "Okay...ok...the rest, I'll leave it to you to deal with it first."
"Your Majesty, take care of your health."
Rubens's face was calm and almost indifferent. He turned and walked out of the stone house, glanced at the priest who was still standing there, and said: "Now the fighting in the city has subsided, you can go back to rest, the Pope has a new servant to take care of you." .”
"Yes, yes! Your Excellency Cardinal."
Looking at the back of Rubens, the priest swallowed his saliva. When he looked back, he found four strange temple guards standing around the Pope's house. He knew that this was not the place for him to stay. He didn't even have the courage to go in and say hello to the Pope, so he bowed his head and left in a hurry...
Obviously, everyone understands who the city is listening to now.
...
At the same moment, the figure of the Kodak Duck was already flying westward.
Elvis grew wings with the power of the scroll, and although he quickly left the battlefield, he did not escape Rody's pursuit after all. One side is an assassin who flapped his wings to fly for the first time, and the other side is a high-level monster that has been strengthened by talent. The answer can be imagined-but Rody didn't rush to make a move. He followed the opponent all the way until there was no one else around. Raise your bow and arrow and start attacking.
If it is on land, Elvis has countless ways to move around. But at this time, he didn't know the technique of "rolling in the air to dodge" at all. When he found that the arrow was coming, he immediately tried to lower his flight altitude and tried to rush into the forest below to avoid it, but because of this he underestimated the impact of air resistance during the dive. Variety…
So he lost control and crashed into a giant tree in the forest on the spot, and was shot in the back of the heart by Rody's arrow during the rollover process, and broke his neck when he fell to the ground, and he couldn't die anymore.
Roddy directly took the scepter from him, but then studied Elvis' body for a while. The opponent's arms had completely turned into wings, and when observed closely, Rody suddenly felt a little familiar with them.
However, after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he pulled out a few feathers, burned the body to ashes with flames, and dug a hole with magic to bury him—in this deep mountain and old forest, no one is afraid of anyone who can find it. to his trail.
For the "Rose Cross", the "Viper's Kiss" scepter was snatched by the enemy. For "Viper's Cross", Elvis has completed the task, but has never returned.
Where did the scepter go? This question will become a historical mystery. Even if someone guessed that Rody took the scepter, he could completely clear up his responsibility by saying "I didn't catch up with Elvis".
This is "Dead Men Tell No Tales": You said I took it, you can go to Elvis to confirm it! Who knows if he coveted the power of the scepter, took it away privately and then disappeared
Looking at the dark horizon in the distance, Rody glanced at the "map bar", and then began to control the somewhat frenzied Kodak to land downwards - under the extremely fast flight, it was only one journey from the "Holy Temple" to Houllier City. It took half an hour to arrive, but Roddy was not safe on the way, because the "Viper's Kiss" scepter had a mental impact on both him and Kodak.
Rody, who has the "Dragon Slayer's Mark", is basically immune to this kind of mental attack, and has no emotional fluctuations, but the persistent headaches make him quite annoyed. It's not obvious, it feels similar to the migraine caused by playing games all night. On the contrary, during the flight, Kodak experienced emotional instability and deviated from the route several times. Fortunately, Roddy continued to use the "Heart of Warcraft" skill, which improved Kodak's mental resistance, and finally arrived at Huo Lear City.
Roddy's purpose is simple, to hand over the scepter to its awakener: Sally.
Rody cautiously did not open the scepter wrapped in animal skin, but he knew from the beginning that this scepter was actually a "soul binding" item like the ring. In this case, only Sally can use the scepter, even Pope Peter has nothing to do with it.
But with the artifact in hand, Rody didn't plan to make a public announcement—only a thousand days can be a thief, how can a thousand days prevent a thief? If the "Viper's Kiss" is declared to be in Efta immediately, who can guarantee that the "Viper's Cross" will launch a surprise attack on Houlier City like this time? Only when the "Viper's Cross" is completely resolved, will Roddy let Sally admit that he is the holder of the scepter.
Making a fortune in silence is the last word.
In the study room of the Duke's Mansion, Sally was staring at the map in front of her in a daze under the bright spar light.
Once upon a time, only the map of Efta was placed here. At that time, Archbishop Rubens, father Angmar, and the little scout who were not very eye-catching were pointing at it. However, it has now been replaced with a map of the Karen Kingdom—at this time, looking at the rose cross symbol marked on the "Holy Temple" on the map, she still can't calm down in her heart.
Because of the underdeveloped communication, she has not received any information from the "Holy Temple". The "cleaning day" planned by Rody is today, and the Knights of Wellington have already set off after gathering their troops, and they will be able to arrive at the "Holy Temple" tomorrow. A reshuffle of power may be in progress now—according to what Roddy said at the time, He who has been playing the role of "Crusader" knight should have escaped safely, right
When she was in a trance, the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door, and Sally was taken aback: "What's the matter?"
Butler John had a strange expression on his face. He glanced back and said in a low voice, "Uh... Your Excellency the Prime Minister wants to talk to you."
"Roddy wants to see me?" Sally didn't react for a while, thinking it was a request for a meeting, she replied happily: "Is he going to come to Houlier City? Then you go and arrange the welcoming ceremony, I—"
She didn't finish her sentence, but she realized that she was wrong from John's expression, and she screamed "Ah", and jumped up from the chair like a spring: "He's here?"
"Uh, the Prime Minister said that I will wait for you in the storage room at the end of the first floor." Butler John also felt that this request was a little strange, so he explained a little more: "I specifically confirmed my identity, and it will not be pretended by others... There are still some bloodstains on the leather armor, it is said that he just rushed over from the 'Holy Temple'—er, be careful of the steps!"
Before John finished speaking, he saw Sally running out of the study like a wind. She carried the hem of her skirt and went down the stairs quickly, feeling joyful and anxious at the same time. She was happy because Rody came to Houlier City, and she could hang around this guy for a while; and anxious because of the blood on Roddy's body that John said. …
She had experienced the cruelty of war, so she was afraid that this guy would endure the pain after being injured like before.
