Chapter 132 The Sudden Change of Dinner (Part 1)

Time passed, and when the bell rang, representing the arrival of noon, the luncheon was about to officially begin.

When the Duke of Angmar walked into the dining room with a gold-encrusted cane in his hand, Rody couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the old man was so imposing—although he suffered from the "soul extraction potion" for several years, after a period of recovery, At this time, Angmar was full of energy, with steady steps, and even though his body was still thin, his whole person was full of vitality that had never been seen before.

At this time, he glanced around, and took the lead in staying on Rubens--

"It is an honor for the Luciferon family to be honored by the bishop."

After exchanging pleasantries with Rubens, he then turned his gaze to Roddy, and greeted meaningfully: "As a father, I would like to thank you for taking care of my daughter, Captain Roddy."

Such words made Rubens aware of some abnormalities, but he really couldn't think of any relationship between a scout captain and Sally, so he didn't take it seriously, and continued to watch with cold eyes.

"It's a great honor, Your Excellency the Duke."

Rody blinked his eyes, and gave a military salute, without unnecessary nonsense, showing no surprise.

Although he was calm on the surface, Rody couldn't figure out the attitude of the old man at this time - Angmar didn't name his identity or the things he had done before, but just expressed his gratitude in such a cryptic manner …So is he thanking or threatening?

To be honest, Rody hoped that the things he did would not be made public, and "making a fortune in silence" was the first way to go on steadily, but now it seems that Benjamin did not disclose his situation, Angmar also seems to be not prepared to make a statement... Although it sounds like good news, it means that the next lunch will definitely be quite embarrassing for him.

However, when everyone was about to sit down, Rody still held some hope in his heart: If Sally could cooperate to adjust the atmosphere, he should be able to eat this meal in peace, right?

As soon as such thoughts appeared in his mind, he caught a glimpse of the long-awaited figure.

When Sally walked into the hall, she was really "amazing", even the Duke of Angmar slightly raised his eyebrows, then smiled, and said softly: "My daughter has really... grown up. "

A bright red floor-to-ceiling dress, a lace-trimmed waist, a crystal headdress, and a simple crystal necklace. The slightly mature dress makes the already well-developed Sally transform from a "girl" into a "girl" at once... The waist that is grippingly is more slender under the effect of the waist, and it is exposed in the air The clavicle has a charming curvature.

The delicate oval face was lightly made up, and when she looked at the dining table, Sally respectfully saluted and said hello to the bishop.

Secretly noticing the way Rody's eyes widened, Sally's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and she sat beside her father contentedly...

Her image at this time is completely opposite to the plain appearance in the previous robes. After greeting the bishop, she greeted the two knights. However, when her eyes turned to Rody, she pouted and directly said Eyes turned away...

"Forehead--"

Such a situation was beyond Rody's expectations. The words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was instantly awkward.

The Bishop watched this scene from the sidelines, and felt incomprehensible that Roddy could sit here and have lunch together...

The Duke of Angmar was also surprised that his daughter would make such a move, but he was experienced after all, and immediately smoothed things over, and asked the waiters to start serving dishes...

Although Luo Di was extremely embarrassed at this time, if he carefully said it, he definitely deserved it: women who hold vengeance are the last things to be provoked... Yesterday, he answered his confession with such obscene words,

Are you still counting on others to save face today? It's just a dream!

Thinking of how Sally was run away by her anger yesterday, Rody, who had come back to it later, smiled helplessly... I really did something stupid by accident...

The exquisite dishes were served by the servants, and the aged red wine was poured into the glasses. The mellow red wine reflected the different expressions of the people at the dinner table. Rubens took the lead in expressing his gratitude to the Duke, which opened up topics one after another. Soon Angmar, Sally and even the two knights participated in the discussion. However, under such an atmosphere, Rody remained silent. And alienation, I can't get involved in any topic, so I have to eat there alone.

Soon Sally noticed this, and seeing Rody sitting pitifully in the corner and molesting the fish on the dinner plate, she also felt that she had gone too far, so she deliberately proposed a few words and " "Border" related topics, I hope Rody can get involved, but the result is that Rody continues to bow his head without saying a word...

The bastard! So angry!

Angrily drank the red wine, Sally gestured to the maid next to her sullenly, and the maid Mel immediately brought the wine bottle respectfully, poured the wine for Sally carefully, then stepped back a few steps, stood aside.

No one at the table noticed the maid. Although Mel was smiling and standing behind Sally, she didn't worry at all whether she would be noticed—the undead just stood in the dining room majestically, even two meters away. The "Rosicrucian" Archbishop has no way of discovering her true identity...

"Master Ansardin will come to harvest your lives soon, let's revel in the last part of his life..."

Thinking of this in his mind, Mel's eyes swept over the people at the dining table one by one, and finally stopped at the silent figure.

Heh... This young man is really strange. He was invited by the Duke to a luncheon, but he only knows how to eat?

Captain of the Scout—how could the Duke invite such a person to the mansion?

There was some doubt in her heart, but it dissipated immediately... Mel's mission was to collect "useful" information, and for "marginal people" like Rody, she knew that she didn't need to pay attention to it at all, and when she looked away, she completely Ignored the role and instead focused on remembering what these old men had to say.

"The orcs in the north don't seem to be honest recently, but speaking of it, those orcs are obviously vulnerable. Most of them are just savages driven by instinct."

When Rubens said this, Rody finally seemed to be a little interested. After raising his eyes, he held up the spoon in his hand, waiting for the next sentence of the bishop,

"Speaking of which, the 'Rosicrucian' also pays some attention to the issue of orcs, but according to our research, these guys are strong, but they are cowardly after all. Presumably if they face the human army, they will only Flee away."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

As soon as Rubens finished speaking, Roddy coughed suddenly, interrupting his "high talk" about orcs.

The two knights held their wine glasses and looked at him. Sally pretended not to pay attention and glanced at him, while the Duke of Angmar looked around meaningfully, but said nothing.

"I - I remembered something interesting, I couldn't hold back just now, I'm sorry - ahem..."

Rubens frowned, obviously thinking that this guy was crazy, and immediately changed the topic: "Of course, the threat of orcs is always not worth mentioning. What really worries us is the lord struggle in the southern part of the kingdom..."

He paused, enjoying the attention, and continued: "Some time ago, Lord Gordon finally launched an army to attack Earl Moore. There are seven or eight thousand people in total..."

"Oh? What's the matter? Then Earl Moore is in danger."

"Before I came to Houlier City, I heard the news that Earl Moore was retreating steadily. His strength has always been at a disadvantage. It is estimated that the future will not be very optimistic."

The topic of "war" is always the most attention-grabbing, so the matter of Rody coughing indiscriminately just now was quickly forgotten, and several people at the dinner table discussed it enthusiastically, and as this topic came to an end, But Rubens changed the subject and said, "The result of this battle will definitely affect the situation in the southern part of the kingdom. By the way, I don't know Captain Rody... What do you think about this?"

Such a question is naturally regarded as a small "revenge" for Rody's behavior just now - this kind of topic involving the battle of noble lords can best show the level of the talker... For example, the two knights will discuss the formation of troops. Analyzing, the Duke of Angmar will give a judgment based on the economic and political situation, and even Sally can speak out several major advantages of Lord Gordon with reason, and at this time, leaving Roddy at the end to ask questions is quite There is a meaning of "making things difficult".

"Opinion?"`

Rody was actually looking at the "task bar" bored, studying the clues for the advanced quests of "The Witcher". When he heard such a question, he thought about it seriously, and finally replied: "I think Moore The Earl will not lose."

"hehe…"

Hearing Roddy's answer, even the perfunctory smile disappeared from Rubens's laughter. He raised his eyes slightly and continued to ask, "Then what's the specific reason?"

"There are many reasons for winning a battle, but in the final analysis, as long as one is enough." Rody shrugged, "Earl Moore is smarter than Lord Gordon, and that's the only reason."

Regarding such remarks, Rubens just shook his head with a smile, but stopped asking, and went to chat with the Duke of Angmar instead.

Up to now, as a "participant" of this meal, Roddy can definitely be called a "failure"-he is neither the center of the topic, nor does he participate in the discussion of the topic at all. Take a bite of everything, and then make a few jokes like a joke when others ask questions, which is really no different from the impression he gave to others as "Captain Scout".

The Duke of Angmar, who had put some thought into it, actually had some expectations for him, but obviously, Rody's performance now has really disappointed his "expectations".

PS: Rody got a haircut, and smiled: "Everyone is watching, I'm going to start pretending."
