Chapter 18 Unexpected News (300 Recommended Votes...

But the crux of the problem is that Roddy really can't recall the specific content - no location, no location...

He could feel that there was only a thin veil between himself and the answer he wanted, but he was so anxious that he couldn't find out the truth. In desperation, he could only try to calm down his mood and began to think about the decision he would make next.

Some major events seemed to be about to happen, but because Rody couldn't confirm the location, he couldn't take any measures in the end. Obviously these orcs are going to attack somewhere, but he really can't help - although saying this has a sense of indifference to life, but one thing that needs to be realized is... the world of "cracked earth" is not a modern society at all. In the era when ten people were killed in an accident broadcast on TV, it was a big deal, but here... three hundred people were massacred in a certain village, or nearly a thousand people died of freezing and starvation in winter, in the eyes of the lords, it was just a big deal. It's just a conversation after dinner, it's not a big deal at all. At most, those lords will say "this year is not good" and it will be considered as a certainty, and more people will sigh "taxes are not easy to collect".

At this moment, Rody understood where the limit of his ability was. Without knowing where the incident happened, the only thing he could confirm was that Nolan Village would not be attacked—because he had stayed here for a long time Time, I know the history of this village well, if we talk about the attack, the first looting happened two and a half years later.

So in this case, Rody wisely chose to ignore the content of the letter, because he knew that he could do nothing now...to notify all the people in the village to pay attention to the enemy attack? That's unrealistic. The date points to tomorrow, that is, April 15th. Roddy calculated that even if he started to drive a fast horse to all the border villages now, he probably wouldn't be able to finish it in a week.

Roddy sighed secretly, without thinking too much. After packing up the loot, he simply ate some food in the dining hall to fill his stomach, thinking about how to find Stan and use blood mines to upgrade weapons. Carter and Ruger saw that Roddy seemed to be in a bad mood, so they came over to ask a few words, but Roddy didn't hide anything, and explained the content of the letter.

Although they didn't know how Rody could understand the orc characters, this information also made Carter and Ruger frowned and thought about it, and finally decided to send someone to notify the nearby villages to pay attention to the enemy's situation and take preventive measures.

After all, they are native citizens of the Karen Kingdom, and their starting point of thinking is completely different from that of Roddy's players. After thinking about this, Rody had no objection. After sending two scouts to extend in two directions to notify, Carter and the others felt relieved for the time being, and went back to sleep in the simple house.

Hearing the loud snoring over there, Rody looked up at the rising sun, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, found a corner and squatted down, and called out the character attribute bar in a low voice.

In the first battle of the attack on the orc camp, the experience value rewarded from the beginning to the end reached an astonishing 728 points. Counting the remaining 66 experience points after upgrading to level 2, the remaining experience points on hand are 794 points, which has exceeded the level 600 experience points required to reach level 3.

Rody was a little puzzled, and then opened the "task bar", and saw a record written on it: "Assault on the orc camp (completed)"

There is a task rating below: A-

So... I accidentally completed a faction-matching "task". Many times, this kind of task is not accepted voluntarily, but assigned directly by the system during the action. It doesn't matter if it is completed or not. If it is completed, there will be Corresponding rating rewards - Rody failed to wipe out everyone in the orc camp in the end, so his rating was naturally relatively low, but if he had caught up and killed those orcs before, his rating might have reached the highest S rank.

But Rody didn't think so much at the time, and he naturally had other reasons for letting those orcs go: to let these frightened orcs go back to report the news,

Proclaiming the strength of human beings is an invisible deterrent to the arrogant orcs.

Turning his gaze back to the character attribute panel, he thought for a while, but finally did not choose "upgrade".

This extra level of experience is Rody's current life-saving hole card - if there is an accident in the future that puts his life in danger, he can use the upgrade "BUG" at any time to instantly restore the strongest combat power, whether it is used to escape or use it. To fight recklessly, this is a trick that others will never expect.

Thinking that he finally had a reasonable life-saving skill, Rody finally relaxed his tense spirit. The feeling of sleepiness also spread at this time. He looked at the blood ore in his hand, and after thinking about it, he decided to sleep and wake up before tossing about these things.

When I walked back to the dormitory, the early morning had passed, and it was the moment of sunrise.

The Nolan Village in front of me still seems to be the same. The windmill on the small slope in the distance is slowly turning. The farmers who are about to plow out of the house in twos and threes, chatting on the road, and occasionally talking about Lord Kirk’s manor. , Talking about the lives of those nobles, there is no lack of envy in the speech.

Listening to those people chatting, Rody gradually remembered the difference between this society and the modern age he lived in - in this land, the so-called "motivation to do better" may have many people, but no one would hold similar "I can become a noble if I work hard" or "I don't want to farm, I want to be a knight".

As a modern person, Luo Di was educated since he was a child and told him that "everyone is equal". But here, a similar idea seems unrealistic—in the Karen Kingdom and even in all human countries, farmers are farmers all their lives, tailors are tailors all their lives, and they are born to be the subjects of the lord, and they have an obligation of loyalty to the lord . Such a concept is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and there are few superfluous thoughts in people's minds.

Rody shook his head, let go of his mind, and when he walked to the house with a loud snoring, he heard the sound of horseshoes. Looking back, at the center of the village, the carriage that belonged to the lord's manor transporting goods had just returned from other villages—similar scenes often appeared, and Rody didn't pay attention to it, but it seemed that he accidentally caught a glimpse of the man in the butler's robe. The figure hurriedly got off the carriage, and returned to the inside of the manor in a hurry for some reason.

I guess... the lord is going to start demanding rent again?

Thinking of the rent, tribute, and taxes that a manor had to pay, Rody lamented that the feudal society was really oppressive, and fell asleep on the bed after entering the house...

…………………

In the evening, the shepherd drove the flock of sheep past the house, and a burst of "bleat" woke Roddy from his sleep.

Thinking about it, this body is still not used to staying up late. When Rody opened his eyes, he sighed, sat up slowly on the bed, rubbed his greasy hair that hadn't been washed for a few days, and woke up with a yawn in the still thunderous snoring.

The sudden change of routine was not pleasant. Even after sleeping for five or six hours, Roddy still felt weak. Some of the scouts sleeping around had already woken up, presumably to go out to find something to eat. His eyes were a little dry, and he accidentally bumped into the beam when he got up. He felt that he was not quite used to his height and the surrounding environment. However, after two victories, Roddy, who gradually relaxed, was not so nervous. up.

When just waking up, there will always be a period of time when the human brain is rigid and chaotic. It is the same for Rody who wants to wash his face at this time, but when he walks out of the house, a few words of conversation come into his mind clearly in the ear.

"Will Second Lieutenant Sodin be promoted?"

"Him? Let's talk about when the Duke of Luciferon is so confused and willing to give him a promotion!"

These words made the dazed Rody recall his current identity - he is no longer a simple player, but a scout belonging to the Luciferon family... For Lord Lucifron , I am just the most inconspicuous member of countless private soldiers of the nobles... Heh, the Luciferon family is also a duke after all...

etc.

Luo Di suddenly stopped in his tracks. The word "Old Duke" made him feel that it was a little different from what he remembered.

In his memory, after the game server was launched, "Hollier City", the largest city in the northwest, didn't have any old dukes. There was only one Duke Francis who later became a traitor and collaborator. He wasn't old at all. The only thing related to the word "old duke" is the statue of an old man in the city, which is Duke Francis' father, Duke Angmar Luciferon.

Could it be... the old duke who was originally dead is still alive at this time?

"Marco, I want to ask—where is Duke Francis now?"

Rody said something with a casual expression, because of his accumulated majesty after two battles, the soldiers who were chatting at this time immediately stood upright when they saw him, and replied solemnly and nervously as if seeing the army commander: "Luo... Luo Captain Di, you mean Earl Francis, right? At this time of year, the Earl should be patrolling the territory with his sister, which is an annual practice."

The soldier who answered the question only thought that Rody had given the wrong title, and did not dare to hide the slightest answer. Luo Di smiled and signaled that he didn't have to be so nervous, and asked if the wound on the other party's body was better, nodded and chatted for a few words, then walked aside.

Turning his face around, although his expression was as usual, his mood was a little tangled——

The Duke of Angmar Luciferon is still alive, and he is now the supreme lord of this land?

This is definitely an unexpected news.
