Chapter 152 Not what you think!
"...What the hell is going on? Where's Magda? Where's Wellington? Why are you still here?"
Rody asked four questions in a row, but then he found that Sally, who was pressing down on him, didn't even answer half a word, but whimpered in a low voice-this scene made Rody instantly think of a certain possibility, and his face was ugly. Asked: "Where is the Duke of Angmar? He won't..."
"Father...Father is waiting for you downstairs. He is fine, and we are fine. The undead escaped, and now the whole city is hunting him."
Sally, who hadn't slept all night, had a hoarse voice, but what she said made Rody heave a sigh of relief. At this time, she was lying on Luo Di's body. Although her breath smelled of sweat, it didn't make her feel disgusted at all, but she just felt that the heart that had been hanging on her was finally let go at this moment.
She wanted to say something, but in the end there were only intermittent choking sounds—there was such a reaction, all because Sally was frightened.
Yesterday, she and her father happened to see the scene where Rody and Magda were fighting on the clock tower. Because they were far away, they didn't know exactly what happened. But when the eight crossbow bolts whirled and brought up huge smoke and dust, she realized that the development of the situation in front of her was far beyond imagination.
Martin went to check, but the news in return made Sally feel dizzy: Roddy was seriously injured and unconscious, and the enemy was severely injured and fled!
When such a situation occurred, the Duke of Angmar decisively gave up the escape plan, directly took over the control, and immediately ordered to treat Rody with all his strength, and then began to mobilize all available troops in the city to hunt down the escaped assassin—and when Sally rushed When they got to the bottom of the bell tower, they only saw Rody lying in a pool of blood without a sound...
This scene made Sally's head "buzz", and she almost fell off the horse!
If Rubens hadn't seen Rubens gritted his teeth with the support of Titus and cast a magical spell on Roddy to treat him, Sally would have rushed over crying.
Even so, the comatose Roddy still made Sally flustered. She asked Martin to take Rody back to the Duke's mansion in a carriage, and didn't even say hello to the two bosses, Rubens and Benjamin. Sitting on the edge of the bed without eating or drinking until now.
At this moment, seeing Rody's appearance of being covered in cold sweat from nightmares, Sally only felt very distressed, but she didn't know how to ask. When she realized that she had pushed Rody down on the bed, although she felt ashamed all of a sudden, she somehow gritted her teeth and couldn't hold on anymore...
The bedroom was quiet, only the breathing of the two of them was left.
Rody stared straight at the ceiling above his head, and smelled the body fragrance of Sally's body in his breath, his chest was squeezed by two soft things, and he was a little out of breath. He lay there in a daze for a few seconds, wondering if Magda would retaliate, and then felt that such a guy who couldn't even hold a weapon was basically abolished at this time, and he felt relieved.
"It's fine, it's fine. By the way, my chest injury?"
"The Lord Superintendent used a high-level divine technique, the wound should be healed, but he said that you have lost a lot of blood, and you may need to rest for a few more days..."
Hearing Rody's question about the wound, Sally finally left his embrace with her head down, but instead of going back to sit on the chair, she knelt and sat on the bed, almost snuggled up to Rody's side.
Her face was so red that when Luo Di sat up again, he felt that this beautiful oval face turned red into an apple—but he didn't bother to lament how beautiful this girl is, and stretched out his hand to pull his body away. Putting on the pajamas, I looked down and saw a faint red mark as expected.
Stretching out his hand to touch it, the flesh that was originally opened did not feel any pain at all.
The chaotic emotions gradually subsided,
Feeling exhausted, he looked up at the sun and roughly confirmed the time. When he turned his head, he suddenly found that Sally's cheek was almost touching his own...
Because of the "flying" just now, this girl's hair looks abnormally messy, her red face is slightly lowered, and her teaching gown is also crooked—but just like this, Luo Di somehow felt that the girl in front of him was so beautiful that it was a bit dazzling stand up.
Sally lowered her eyes, knowing that she was a little too close to Roddy, but she didn't mean to dodge and retreat. Instead, she tried her best to maintain her composure and asked in a low voice, "Just now...was it a nightmare?"
"yes."
"I heard what you said..."
Sally still lowered her head, but glanced at Rody cautiously. Seeing his frown slightly, she felt even more uneasy. What she wanted to say got stuck in her throat, for fear of making this guy feel worse. .
Rody frowned, trying to recall what he had said in his dream, but then he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the side, turned his head and saw the maid named Julie in the Duke's Mansion staring at him with wide eyes. The two people in front of them were speechless with their mouths open——
That's right, the lonely man and the widow were sitting on the bed, Sally's hair was messed up and her clothes were wrinkled, Roddy was covered in sweat, and the clothes on his chest were torn off. Anyone who watched this scene...
"Miss, I—I'll come back later, I didn't see anything—"
Julie turned around and went out. Rody, who was sitting on the bed, was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of what happened. When he looked at Sally suspiciously, he felt that this girl's face was blushing and bleeding...
"Julie! Wait!"
She turned over and jumped off the bed, and when she walked to the door, she still didn't forget to turn around and say, "I... I'll call the servant to help you change your clothes!"
Although she was trying to restrain her emotions, Sally's voice was still a little trembling. After she rushed out of the bedroom and closed the door with a bang, she saw that Julie was looking at her with a helpless face, and her face suddenly became more rosy. stand up.
"Roddy just woke up, go and tell my father, just now... just now we were just chatting...he... that—" She searched for a word for a long time, but finally stomped her foot fiercely, "It's not what you think! "
At this time, she could only pretend to be an ostrich to ambiguously get over the question. After running wildly and rushing back to her bedroom, Sally threw herself on her bed and buried her face deeply in the pillow——
"Bastard! I haven't asked you yet... Who the hell is Nefi!?"
*****
While Sally resented Rody's "dream talk" extremely, the pale Rody was already staggeringly sitting on the desk in the guest bedroom after a brief wash, staring at a book on the table in a daze. "The Biography of Frost" was in a daze.
The sequelae of excessive blood loss always existed. Although the wound was healed, but at this time, if he walked for a while, his head would feel dizzy. However, this dizziness did not hinder his thinking. Sitting here for a few minutes, Rody also had a basic idea of his own gains and losses in this battle:
The short bow was gone, and the weapon, which was quite handy, was cut in half by Magda when she raised her hand.
The breastplate of the leather armor was severely damaged. Even if it was repaired, the level of the item might drop by a notch—the cut made by Magda's dagger looked shocking, and thanks to it, Roddy's chest was not directly cut open .
[Moloch's Blessing] The consumption is gone, and a powerful and dazzling hole card is just thrown away in such a muddle.
In this way, the loss can be described as heavy, but luckily among the misfortunes, there were no casualties among the scouts under him, and the few people who died were all from the Duke's Mansion and the monastery—but when it comes to the gains, Roddy is not very satisfied.
[Moloch's Blessing] brought the effect of permanently increasing the reputation of the "Rose Cross" by 1000, but there is still a long way to go before the reputation threshold of [Respect].
【Stopping Ansardin's Conspiracy 3/3 (Completed)】Brought a full 35,000 experience, but now I haven't got the advanced professional task, so I can only save this experience, waiting to upgrade later.
Looking at these rewards alone, no matter how you think about it, it is a loss.
So the only thing Rody can count on to "return his capital" now is the "reward" that Rubens and Angmar can give him. Speaking of taking such a big risk, if I say what I am most satisfied with, it is that the "friendship" between him and these two old men can be called "life and death together".
Rubens harvested a pile of undead corpses and the head of the little boss Derby. I am afraid that this kind of feat will immediately attract attention in the "Holy Temple". And Angmar once again survived the life-and-death crisis safely—Rody knew what it meant to be destroyed by an undead body... An injury as serious as Magda's may not be able to recover within a year or so, and it is even more likely that It's this guy who has to go back to the Tasman and sleep for decades before he recovers, unless...
Rody thought of a certain possibility, and kept his mind on it, but he was ready to find a chance to chat with Angmar alone.
At this moment, his mind no longer had the ambiguity in the bedroom just now, and was completely overwhelmed by the boundless sense of urgency—he needs to become stronger: no matter whether it is personal or powerful, he cannot delay for a moment.
Orcs, undead, heretics, these are all threats that can be seen at present, and facing this group of foreign enemies, Rody now finds that he has no room to resist at all - because he has no foothold on this land yet !
Now he has built some friendship with the duke and the bishop by relying on a few "small fights". Although it sounds like his future is secure, if he really wants to realize his dream of saving this country, it will be very bad. Too many - soldiers, food, land, money, eyeliner, political status, timber, minerals, equipment and so on, and so on, and so on. Roddy has not seen any shadows yet! Without even a foundation, what are you talking about saving the country?
Do you really wait until the catastrophe happens, and pin your hopes on the kingdom's aristocratic parties that only care about squeezing each other out? Then it's better to go into the woods and find a cave to hide from the world... Because Rody's impression of these nobles can be summed up in one sentence: "The leader of internal strife has no bones in fighting the enemy."
Get rid of the soft bones of the leading party, and integrate the power of the nobles to the outside world... This kind of idea can only be regarded as an "ideal" that cannot be realized. If he wants to break the track of history, Rody must rely on his own influence and strength!
