Chapter 250 Blood Drain
ll, 15th, Houllier City.
The first winter snow has gradually melted, and the temperature has also dropped a lot. The hustle and bustle in Houlier City has gradually calmed down. Every household has piled up firewood for the winter, stored food, and prepared to act like a grizzly bear. Enter the "hibernation" state without leaving home.
Even in the wealthiest city, there will be tramps and beggars who freeze to death every year. Even a high-ranking duke must still resist the erosion of the body by the severe cold.
These days, Angmar has been coughing badly, but for the "good news" that came one after another, he forcefully suppressed this physical pain.
"Tsk tsk, beheaded Earl Owen, expelled Durant, and sent away Howard and the group of guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters... This is not something that can be done just by talking."
At the sumptuous luncheon, Angmar said to Bishop Benjamin who was sitting across from him braggingly, "The point is, this kid is still unwilling to accept the title, and he insists on being his scout captain, which is really a headache. "
Benjamin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "It's enough to surprise me that he was able to kill Magda, but he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to pull out a few hard nails in the territory... This achievement is really of far-reaching significance to the kingdom."
"Kingdom? He is helping Efta. Who cares about the royal family? They are busy with drunkenness and internal strife. Do you know what reply the royal family gave to my previous letter about the orc attack?"
Angmar waved his hand and said with a sneer: "It's just a piece of parchment, with the words "Treatment" written on it——ah, it's really hard for them."
Benjamin didn't answer the question. The duke and lord complained about the incompetence of the monarch. As a religious person, he naturally tried to interfere as little as possible.
"Forget it, say those guys are a disappointment." Angmar tightened the thick blanket that was wrapped around her body, "Every time this kid Rody comes to news, he almost makes me feel that the letter is forged—leading sixty people To face an army of thousands of people, even when I was young, I probably would not have been able to do such a thing..."
"I heard... none of his troops were killed?"
"It's true. When Wellington told me this, I will remember his expression forever. How do you think Roddy did it?" Angmar kept a secret, and Benjamin couldn't figure it out after guessing for a long time. When he answered, he reached out and took out a bottle from his pocket and handed it over, "Look."
"Therapeutic Potion?"
Benjamin naturally knew about this kind of thing. He carefully observed the body of the bottle, and then sniffed the smell of the remaining potion: "It seems to be a very high-quality 'intermediate healing potion, don't they..."
The old man suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and was stunned for a while.
"Every soldier who participated in the battle has two bottles, and it is said that there is also a bottle of 'Stone Skin Potion,'" Angmar laughed: "The value of these potions alone is probably enough to re-form two identical teams Oh...he is really courageous, he dared to consume potions like this, it is estimated that there has never been such an extravagant army in the history of the kingdom."
Benjamin also sighed, but before he could answer, Angmar's eyes came over—"I don't know the Rose Cross, how do you plan to reward him?"
"The resources I can personally use are limited, so don't expect me to come up with too many things." The bishop twirled his golden ring that represented his identity with his fingers, and whispered: "The news has been reported to Rubens , 'Temple, if you are not stupid, you should be able to understand his value."
The old duke didn't smile after hearing this, but instead squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "No matter how the sect rewards him, I just want to say...don't continue to use him as a pawn."
Benjamin froze.
"The biggest reward I can give him is to let him develop without restraint and control." The old duke said very formally with a serious face: "In the past, you and I could use him as a knife, and we could use him without any scruples." Let him stand at the forefront, but after this time, I won't do it, and I hope...you won't do it either
"Why?"
"Didn't you find out? In fact, when he was doing these things, he never expected you and me to help him much. From the beginning to the end, he firmly grasped the 'initiative,'"
Benjamin was a little silent, and finally whispered: "Of course I don't think so, but the sect's decision..."
"It's just a suggestion, not a requirement."
Angmar grinned, the original seriousness was swept away, as if he hadn't said anything before, "Does he not want to be a nobleman? I think he just doesn't want to be just a 'noble man, right...'"
Benjamin didn't pick up the topic, and instead said, "There's an interesting news from the south, it's related to b cross."
"To be honest, I don't care too much about the heathen news."
"I didn't intend to say it at first, but I guess you are interested in this." Benjamin lowered his voice, "A executioner and his team were wiped out in Efta. This is not a light blow to B Cross."
The meaning of "Executioner" to "Viper's Cross" is almost equivalent to the two guardian knights beside Angmar. It is definitely not a trivial matter to kill an "Executioner" and a team like this.
But... why did Benjamin tell himself about this?
He fixed his eyes and asked, "Where did they disappear in Efta?"
"Whispering Forest." Benjamin looked out the window, and whispered casually: "During that time, Rody was also in the Whispering Forest."
The two old men are fine people, and they can understand what it means in a few words, but the more they are like this, the more Angmar shakes his head: "I'm afraid the Rose Cross will make a lot of fuss about this..."
"I will support him as much as possible." Benjamin sighed, "The conflict between the two sects has gradually become sharper. B Cross seems to be preparing for a big move. It is estimated that there will be investigation troops coming here. I will communicate with Rody. .”
Angmar coughed twice, and said casually: "Heh...it doesn't matter, just let them come and go."
Rody naturally didn't know that what he had done had such a profound impact. At this time, he had just returned to the manor's study and was thinking about starting to make new equipment.
Su Lun expressed that he could consider his solicitation, but Rody didn't expect that the other party would immediately follow him with all his heart. He happily gave the other party a month to consider, and at the same time exchanged a bag of wine for a month's use of leather tools. .
Originally, Su Lun also offered to help Rody make leather armor, but Rody finally rejected him, and still prepared to "single Yu" by himself.
With the current level of leather making, Su Lun is really only enough to serve as Luo Di's assistant, but Luo Di knows that his energy is limited, so he recruited Su Lun, to put it bluntly, so that he can become his "Queen Leatherworker" - the opponent's There is no doubt about his leatherworking talent. In 597, he became a well-known hidden "leatherworking master". If he can use it for himself, it will solve his own equipment update problem.
But for now, Roddy still has to "self-reliance."
In the study, he placed all the borrowed tools on the table. Nata, who was like a follower all the way, was standing behind Rody. She had just completed Rody's task of "spotting the whole town". After the task, Rody should have praised, but he didn't say anything, instead he raised his hand and said, "Give me your bow
Without a word, Nata raised her hand and handed over the short bow.
Rody pulled the bowstring, raised his gaze, and asked, "Do you check your weapons every day?"
Nata nodded.
"Then it's useless to check." Rody handed the bow back, "The bow string still needs to be tightened two times, and the position of the arrow rest is also shifted. Adjust it now."
Nata silently held the short bow and said in a low voice, "Yes, teacher."
Roddy's fingers trembled, but he quickly overcome it—teaching people is not an easy task. Rody has never been a teacher, so all he can think of is to learn from Nata's way of teaching himself, but obviously this The method was very blunt, and even looked a bit "bullying" - because for several days in a row, Nata was always faced with extremely strict demands and reprimands from Roddy, without even a word of encouragement.
"By the way, you were attacked in Elsa Village earlier, what was it?"
He changed the subject.
"A raven with red eyes."
Nata unloaded the bowstring and adjusted the short bow according to what Rody said. After saying this, she found that Rody frowned and stopped his movements.
"Where did you meet?"
"The Ruins of Wagra."
Luo Di's expression became serious, and his originally relaxed mood also became a sense of crisis: "How did you deal with the corpse?"
Nata recalled the big bird that Yu lost, and said softly: "It rotted very quickly, and some black feathers were left in less than an hour."
"Blood Raven... Summoning Necromancer." Rody frowned, "What does this mean? Exploring the ruins of the high elves? Could it be..."
He suddenly remembered the letter left by Ansardin. Isn't the city called "Elson" drawn by the other party on the map the high elf city?
And the "charged spar" that this guy researched, just happened to be full of them in the ruins of Wagra
His original movements of tidying up the leather gradually slowed down, and Rody silently weighed the information behind the evidence - "Blood Raven" is a unit that necromancers only use when conducting "ultra-long-distance" investigations. Judging from experience, the necromancer is estimated to be far away from here at this time, and it is even possible that the body is in the Tasman Kingdom.
The biggest function of "Blood Raven" is to record the images in the eyes in the "Necromancer Core" in the body, but if the Necromancer wants to check it, he must return to his face.
In this way, the dead "Blood Crow" could no longer send the screen back, so the necromancer had no way of knowing everything about the Wagra ruins, and according to the nature of the "summoning", the other party even at this time None of them knew the fact that "Blood Raven" had died.
Simply put, Rody still has plenty of time to respond.
"Charging spar...Elson, is this Augustine's goal..."
Luo Di silently wrote down this extremely important information in his heart, but continued to choose leather materials in his hands calmly-to put it bluntly, if he wants to face any enemy in the future, his own strength is more important than anything else.
At this time, leather armor was being made, one of which was for Nata, and Rody checked Nata's status bar, and after confirming that the other party had already reached level 9, he asked seemingly casually: "What color leather armor do you like?" ?”
Nata was stunned for a moment—she had never been asked such a question since she was a child, and she rarely showed hesitation with her always indifferent expression. After thinking for a long time, she finally answered falteringly: "...I don't know.
Rody looked up at Nata, but the silhouette of the "Bingshan Mentor" in dark red leather armor flashed in his mind...
"It's okay, I know."
This inadvertent answer made Nata suddenly feel... as if her heartbeat had missed a beat.
