Chapter 126 Not a small role
On the other side, Sodlor, who found a bloody letter from Akasha, was reading the writing on it with a torch. There is a letter, apparently signed by... Archbishop Rubens."
"Who loves to sign whom, what have I got to do with... Wait, Rubens?"
"Looks so, as if she was Rose Cross at Viper's Cross—"
"No way... Could it be an undercover agent? Damn it!"
Rody threw down the cloth bag in his hand, rushed over with a few steps, glanced at the contents of the letter, confirmed that the woman who was still breathing was indeed an "undercover agent", and immediately patted his head, "What the hell You made a mistake, you mistook him for a reactionary!"
Soderol was a little dazed, and didn't understand why Rody was so heartbroken—he didn't have a good relationship with the "Rose Cross", did he?
With that in mind, he asked hesitantly, "Do you want to save her?"
"Nonsense, hurry up!" Rody raised his hand impatiently and grabbed it. He didn't care whether he touched Akasha's breasts or waist. He didn't forget to mutter: "How much prestige can I get if I save my life, this..."
Because there was no bandage, Rody and Soderol could only take off their coats on the spot to bandage Akasha to stop the bleeding, and both of them were startled by the scene of blood dripping from her back Fortunately, the thin corset didn't cover too many wounds, and Roddy didn't tear off the bra, so the two big men just got busy around the unconscious Akasha...
Outside the secret passage, Luge, who was walking on guard, felt a little strange, because he heard the sound of clothes being torn apart. Although he was puzzled in his heart, he did not leave his post casually—after waiting for more than ten minutes, he heard that Thord The sound of Luo Er and Luo Di dragging their feet out of the secret passage, walked over to take a look, and their eyes became a little straight.
Soderol, who was walking in front, was holding a torch, while Luo Di, who was behind, was carrying a woman with bare shoulders and disheveled hair, with that figure, that look...
Reminiscent of the sound of tearing clothes just now, Ruge suddenly thought of some scenes that were not suitable for children, and asked a little stammeringly: "This--captain, is this... alive?"
"Almost died, hurry up, come back here—"
"I said, why did you two stay together for so long... Phew, it's fine if it's not X Corpse..."
"Nonsense, we're going to—" Rody replied as he walked, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the sentence he just heard, and immediately kicked Ruger's ass—"Where the hell are you going?!"
He is so good at saving people, why does he become sexually hungry in his eyes? !
Suo Deluoer next to him had a strange expression on his face. He looked like he was holding back his internal injuries from laughing. He walked in front and kept his head silent. In the end, he was also kicked by Roddy: "Be serious!"
After saying this, Rody breathed a sigh of relief—the secret passage was too narrow, and it was really difficult to walk out with someone on his back, so he complained: "It doesn't look like much meat, and it's really heavy to carry..."
"If the captain can't do it, I'll come, I'll come..."
Ruger hurriedly volunteered, but was kicked away by Roddy—"How can you hear what you said, as if you are rushing to go to the wheel!"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Soderol finally couldn't help laughing, and then the three big men walked towards the hotel with the pastor carrying the "Viper's Cross" on their backs, talking nonsense...
*****
At the same time, the mansion of Duke Luciferon was brightly lit.
The reception hall, which has not been used for a long time, has become deserted in a few years, because Francis never receives guests here,
So the fireplace here has not been lit for a long time, but at this time there is a raging flame burning in the fireplace, and the red light of the charcoal fills the room with warmth.
The servants of the Duke's mansion are walking around in the room. Since the "disappearance" of the Alpha steward, the Duke of Angmar's awakening has brought unimaginable vitality to the originally lifeless mansion. It is hard to imagine that it is just a person It can change the atmosphere of the entire mansion. No matter how it used to be, the servants who are busy going back and forth at this time are all smiling, and the joy in their hearts is not concealed at all.
"The changes in Gordon Manor are here. The tax is increased by 20%. If he doesn't pay, he can do it himself."
"Disband this team, their existence has little meaning."
"This invitation is directed to Earl Tata. It is estimated that he will come here soon after receiving it. I will go early tomorrow morning."
One order after another includes arrangements for politics, economy, military and so on. The Duke of Angmar sat in front of the armrest and spoke to the clerk and servants as if chatting easily. mistake.
Such a situation already shows that the old Duke's "illness" has fully recovered. Although his body is still weak due to long-term malnutrition, after about a week of recuperation and full meals, Angmar's body is recovering at an extremely fast speed. At this moment, he was able to move around the mansion at will, not to mention issuing dozens of government orders in succession.
He sat on the armchair and flipped through the parchment in his hand, which contained detailed records about the taxation of the territory and various measures in the city over the years. The old man shook his head while reading, and finally sighed when he put down the parchment—"Stupid ah…"
This is lamenting Francis' previous practice.
"Okay, come here today, go and rest."
He raised his hand, and the servant immediately came over to catch the parchment, and then brought the milk tea for the evening. Just after brewing a cup, he heard steady footsteps outside the door.
"Your Excellency the Duke."
Knight Titus stood at the door and greeted him. He was life-and-death friends with the Knight of Wellington and the Duke. In the past, he would not use too much red tape. At this time, Angmar also expected him to come back, and raised his hand in greeting: "Come here, pour a cup of tea, it's still cold outside."
The knight walked over, because of his astonishing height, the maid who brought him tea was even more petite, and the exquisite teacup was as small as a toy in his hand——Titus was not good at talking, so he raised his glass to the Duke as if drinking Paying tribute, he immediately drank the hot milk tea in one gulp, smacking the taste, without any unnecessary changes in his expression.
"You're still the same, these years have passed, haven't you found a suitable woman to marry?"
"This topic... oh!"
Titus shook his head, took the second cup of milk tea brought by the maid, drank it in one gulp as usual, and wiped his mouth, "It's still easier to fight, women... I really can't figure out what the fuck is going on in their minds!"
"You, you, it's still the same no matter how many times you say it." Angmar seemed to think of some stories from that year, smiled, and then changed the subject: "Then let's talk about what happened today. People have described the process, but you, who were present at the time, knew better about fighting."
The Duke of Angmar crossed his fingers and rested his chin, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, "...I heard that this battle was reversed because of an arrow?"
"In a way, that's true."
Titus, who has a real personality, basically doesn't speak on most topics on weekdays, but only when the topic involves "battle" will he be interested in saying a few more words-"That heretic is very troublesome, although I When he arrived, he was already dead, but it could be seen that he almost succeeded. I went to check on the corpse later, and the arrow hit the center of the back without being blocked by the shield, and it had the effect of exploding."
"The closest suitable shooting point is about 40 meters away, but I think the actual shooting position should be 60 meters away..."
The Duke of Angmar listened silently, and gradually built up the scenes that happened in the city square today in his mind. At a certain moment, he suddenly asked, "Where is that arrow?"
"It was taken away by the bishop, but later I found that there was more than one arrow on the ground, and at least seven heretics nearby were all shot to death directly, and each... was fatal with one arrow."
Speaking of this, Titus' face changed slightly, revealing some fanaticism, "Almost 100% hit rate and kill rate, such a guy is really not a small character, especially he directly shot and killed another A mage—although I don't know who sent this guy, but...it's really powerful."
"It's not easy to say the word 'powerful' from your mouth."
The Duke of Angmar raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised by his evaluation.
"There are many strong people, but not many powerful ones. I think those who can seize this kind of opportunity are really powerful. The battle lasted for almost an hour, and that one arrow played a key role sooner or later. The subsequent attack directly destroys the morale of the enemy. This kind of person is not strong in strength, but in his brain." Titus pointed to his head, "I will truly admit that he is powerful if he can fight with his brain. .”
These words really made the Duke of Angmar agree. He nodded, and then turned his head to look outside the door. The figure of the Knight of Wellington happened to be standing there, and the maid who was pouring tea was frightened by the knight. A jump...because she didn't even notice when he showed up.
"Heh... I'm old after all, and my reaction is much slower than before."
Angmar stretched out his hand to let him in. Although the latter was about as big as Titus, he made no sound at all when he walked—this was related to the characteristics of his advanced profession "Ghost Rider", from some angles Well, on weekdays, Wellington is like a "thief" or "assassin", not a knight in plate armor at all.
As the right-hand man of the Duke of Angmar, his strength is naturally beyond doubt. Today in the city square, Titus galloped freely, but he never showed up, because Wellington was only watching Sally's movements from the beginning to the end... Ever since she was attacked by Francis, this knight has been not far away He was a silent bystander—until Sally hacked Francis to death outside the city, he didn't show up even once.
It wasn't until after it was confirmed that Sally had returned to the monastery that he ended his mission for the day and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Apparently, no one else, not even the Duke of Angmar, knew of Francis' death until now. So when Wellington walked over, the old Duke couldn't help but look a little questioning, and quietly waited for the answer...
Wellington stood still in front of the Duke, then knelt down on one knee, and said in a low voice, "Miss Sally has returned to the monastery safely."
Such a simple sentence is equivalent to directly telling Francis' fate...
