At first, Luo Di thought that the entrance of the tavern was blocked by several people, but when he turned around, he realized that there was a big man with a height of more than two meters standing there.
The other party has a shaved head and is dressed in a short jacket unique to adventurers, which is very unique in this cool autumn day - the exposed arms are extremely thick, but Roddy can feel that the muscles are definitely extremely systematic. The shape acquired after training is completely different from the simple bulkiness of orcs.
He called out the "status bar of surrounding characters" in a low voice. After seeing the bright red name above the opponent's head, Rody realized that this person might be stronger than the strongest assassin—when he observed carefully, the opponent's powerful wrist, The flattened boxing edge makes the name of the advanced profession "Gradiator" ready to come out.
When the other party pushed open the wooden door and walked into the tavern, his head was almost attached to the low ceiling—this eye-catching image made the few customers in the bar cast their eyes over it, and then they realized his There were even a few companions behind him.
The rest of them all looked like ordinary adventurers, wearing cloaks and hoods, with ordinary figures, weapons on their waists or behind their backs, their steps were very light when they walked, and when they glanced at the bar, there was a faint There was an unruly breath.
They all seem to be strong adventurers.
Rody looked away from the big man and his companions, and he didn't have much interest in their identities. He just felt that it was a coincidence to meet an adventurer with an advanced profession in such a place at this time.
According to Roddy's memory, at the end of 590 after the service was opened, there were very few advanced occupations in Houllier City. It was probably more than a year after the war broke out in 592 that the NC forces in the city generally appeared with "advanced occupations". However, in about 594, NCs with advanced occupations who crossed the threshold of level 30 were still extremely rare and powerful existences under the lord's subordinates, and even the level distribution among players was roughly the same at that time.
As the player at the end of the first echelon, Rody was only at the advanced level of 59 in 597. At that time, on the entire continent, NCs with advanced occupations over level 30 had just become the backbone non-commissioned officers in the army.
Judging from the speed and distribution of such level improvement, at this time eight years ago, seeing a "fighter" who might have reached level 10 in a remote bar in Houlier City, Roddy did have The reason is to lament the strength of the opponent.
But the sigh is the sigh, even when the server was launched in 590, there were existences above the advanced level of 60 in the world. Occasionally encountering some high-level characters is not a rare thing.
"Boss, is there any room? There are five of us."
When the obviously accented words came out, Rody, who had his back to these guys, raised his eyebrows slightly.
This accent... should be from the southeast territory of the kingdom.
Seeing that the business came, and the other party looked not easy to mess with, the boss Hu Ke immediately introduced them to the room and took him upstairs enthusiastically—shortly after, the other party seemed to be satisfied with the accommodation here Environment and price, after paying the accommodation fee of a few silver coins, they sat on the wooden table behind Luo Di, ordered a lot of dishes with that accent, and then a group of five people sat there silently, waiting The boss brings the food to the table.
Rody was thinking about sneaking into the Duke's mansion, and got up to leave at this moment. Seeing that Hook had put a few dishes on the tables of those adventurers, he greeted the other party and signaled that he had something to leave, and his eyes were casual. When I glanced at the group of adventurers, I saw that the five adventurers were raising their hands to the food and making some kind of strange etiquette-like movements...
Turning around and leaving, after walking out of the bar, Rody frowned slightly—the actions of those guys looked familiar.
Where did you see it
Some scenes were faintly visible in the depths of his memory, but after all, Rody's memory was not outstanding, and many things were just a general impression. After thinking for a long time but unable to come up with the result, he stopped thinking about these things and looked up. Street, walking towards the direction of the Duke's Mansion.
…
September 4th, early morning.
After midnight, the monastery is always indescribably quiet. After the candles are all extinguished, only the moonlight shines in from the window. The cool night has lost the warmth of the end of summer, and when the chill of autumn gradually hits, the people living in the house curl up in the warm blankets.
Since what happened on September 2nd, many young people in the monastery have been up all night for the past two days. The tragic death of the three assassins at the gate of the monastery really made many nuns feel dizzy as soon as they closed their eyes. Trembling with fright.
During the day on the 3rd, Bishop Benjamin made inquiries to Ryan Booker and the others. He had a general understanding of the situation. At the same time, he also had a brief conversation with Sally. The identity of the assassin was not mentioned in the words. , just let her objectively narrate the incident process and stop asking too many questions, leaving a sentence "If you have anything to say, you can find me at any time", and let her leave.
Such a result made Sally feel very uncertain.
So at three or four in the morning, Sally, who was tossing and turning on the bed, finally chose not to lie with her eyes open, and got up to think about the countermeasures.
These two nights were probably the first time in her life that she suffered from insomnia consecutively—the assassination incident was already over, but the impact it brought made her still unable to escape. Counting the assassination incident the day before yesterday, she realized that in the past few months she had known Rody... she had been saved by Rody for an unknown number of times.
Stories like "the hero saves the beauty" often appear in the mouths of bards: the princess in the tower, the knight charging on horseback, the sinister and cunning dragon... These exaggerated stories are popular, and they sound full of yearning—can happen After being on her body, Sally realized that Rody, who saved her in a crisis, was completely different from the "hero" who chanted slogans and charged into battle.
In Houlier City, no one knew Rody's identity except himself. Even the bishop Benjamin didn't know who was the person who escorted him all the way back to Houlier City. Roddy stood in the shadows like this all the time. Only at critical moments, and let the bystanders and even the enemy not know who he is until death...
After a day and a night of the incident, Sally has gradually figured out the ins and outs of the whole incident, and even figured out the reason why Rody killed the assassin in the end.
If the assassin survives, he will definitely be interrogated by Bishop Benjamin, and if he confesses that it was Francis who ordered the storming of the monastery... Then the "Rosie Cross" monastery will definitely take measures against the entire Lucifron family!
This is a non-negotiable matter. Attacking the monastery is equivalent to slapping the face of the "Rose Cross". Even if the person who slaps is the biggest nobleman in the city, the "Rose Cross" will not back down. And if a full-scale conflict breaks out, it will definitely cause the family behind Sally to suffer a serious blow!
In this way, Sally will be completely isolated—not to mention her seriously ill father, it is unimaginable how many blows this huge family business will suffer, and Sally's surname "Luciferon" will even cause her to die in the monastery. His status took a sharp turn for the worse, and it was even difficult for him to improve his status for the rest of his life!
So now that I think about it, Roddy's "cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots" arrow is tantamount to transferring Benjamin's anger towards Luciferon... directly to himself.
And this made Sally wonder how to face Rody again, because now he has not only helped herself, but even helped the whole family—but this family "benefactor" is likely to face "" Religious arrest warrant"!
This kind of result made Sally sleepless all night. Every time she closed her eyes, the scene of Rody being caught by the temple guards and then thrown to the stake to burn in her mind...
"call-"
Sighing heavily, Sally reached out and rubbed the dark circles under her eyes that looked like pandas. Although she was a little flustered, the matter has not reached the point of no return... Bishop Benjamin has not seen Rody's appearance, let alone know him Because of his identity, even if Rody entered the monastery, he would not be found out - as long as he went far away, it would not be difficult to survive.
But at the thought of such a possibility, Sally felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Stretching out her hand to feel under the pillow, she was holding the bone dice that Rody had given her back then. She recalled what Rody had said back then, and she only wanted to help him resolve this crisis.
With a plan in mind, Sally decided to find out about Bishop Benjamin first, and then began to pack her clothes and bed as usual.
The thin pajamas made Sally's bumpy body more attractive. This is the age of development, so the trend of body changes is very obvious—after taking off her pajamas, Sally always felt that some parts of her body seemed to be getting bigger , when she reached out to pick up the blue soft armor beside the bed and was about to put it on her body, she remembered that the position of the chest of the dress had deliberately left a half-curve just right for the breasts. Burn up.
The scene of Rody holding down his chest on the mine cart came to mind, and Sally couldn't help but spit in a low voice: "Pervert!"
"What pervert?"
Chris's voice came suddenly, and Sally realized that the other party had entered her room through the crack of the door with two dark circles under her eyes. Thinking that she hadn't put on her teaching gown yet, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. She stretched out her hand and pulled the clothes hastily over her body, asking in a low voice, "Why didn't you knock on the door? You scared me to death."
Such a blaming tone showed that she was not angry. Chris knew that Sally had a good temper, so she made a pitiful look and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid... I can't sleep at all when I encounter something like that. When I close my eyes, there is blood..."
As she was talking, she shivered all over, and her two dark circles looked even more pitiful, which made Sally unable to get angry. She brushed her platinum hair and asked, "Then why did you run to me?" Come here? Your room is not close to my place."
"Because... something like that happened, only you didn't scream and fear like us-you didn't see, guys like Booker and Ryan were too scared to move, but you still gave us orders to find Priest... But speaking of it, why did those guys come to assassinate you? They were so brave that they even dared to rush into the monastery, if the guards hadn't just left..."
"I don't know. You see, I don't seem to be afraid, but I'm actually scared enough. I didn't fall asleep even if I didn't look at it."
"Hey, if it wasn't for the archer, I'm afraid we'd all be in danger—speaking of who he is, Sally, do you know?"
Chris changed the subject, stared at the panda and asked, waiting for the answer full of expectations.
Sally shook her head and sighed: "I really don't know who that is, and there has never been a guard who is so accurate in archery in the family. It should not be someone sent by my father."
The identity of her duke's daughter is well known, so it is more credible to say this. Chris was skeptical, but in the end she knew it was not good to ask too many questions, so she just whispered: "Bishop Benjamin is probably relieved, too. The Lord Superintendent is coming, if something happens to the monastery, the bishop will not be able to do anything, I heard that he will be promoted to the regional archbishop, but I don’t know if it is true..."
Girls are always gossiping by nature, and the gossip may not be unfounded. Sally was worrying about how to solve Luo Di's matter. When she heard such news, she immediately raised her eyebrows, and then thought of a certain possibility—
"Where did you hear the news?"
She seemed to regain her former composure in an instant, and asked Chris in a low voice.
