Chapter 267 Augustine's Ambition

After winter comes, the sunny days when the snow melts are often the coldest.

After breakfast, Rody handed the reply letter to Sally to Butler John—the other party was probably afraid that his father would peek at it, and the content he wrote to him was very formulaic, and there was no superfluous emotion. And Rody is naturally not a romantic guy. Seeing that Sally was living a good life, he was relieved and didn't think too much about it. The content of the reply letter was also simple, saying something like "Oh, I see", " In this way, the nonsense of "returning to contact", at the end, I didn't reveal what I was doing now, so I sent it out perfunctorily.

He knew very well that it would be best for his relationship with Sally to fade away slowly, and the only one he was looking for was Naifei from Mogra Village.

After explaining a few words to the Duke and giving Su Lun some guidance, Rody then took Nata out of the Duke's mansion. But neither of them expected that not long after walking out of the aristocratic area, a figure lying on the side of the road appeared in their field of vision—the other person was covered with snow, apparently frozen to death for a long time.

In this day and age, homeless beggars always have trouble getting through the winter. Although I have already accepted this cruel reality in the game, but when I actually face it, I feel a little unbearable after all. Thinking that there will be a large-scale cold wave covering the kingdom at this time next year, Rody can't help feeling a little worried...

In the face of natural disasters, no matter how great one's ability is, there is nothing one can do.

He sighed, walked past the corpse indifferently, and said to Nata as he walked, "By the way, you can practice archery at the horse farm behind the Duke's mansion. After you come back in the afternoon, you can go there for daily training."

The "unexpected incident" last night can't affect Rody's future arrangements at all. For this guy with extremely low EQ, after sleeping, he can do what he should do, and he always cares about some unimportant things. It can only be called hypocrisy if you never forget things.

This statement seems to make sense at first glance, but in fact it is "standing and talking without pain in the back".

Nata has remained silent since morning, her face was as cold as frost, and she didn't even make eye contact with Rody—but for Roddy's arrangement, she just nodded and said nothing at this time, her eyes Sweeping the old buildings covered with snow, the original curiosity in my heart has been deeply hidden.

Her indifferent reaction made Rody feel bored. He wanted to say something, but he finally shook his head, turned into a small road, and found a blacksmith's shop by stepping on the deep snow. Open the door and start picking up the quest.

He has two goals today, one is to collect the 30 experience points needed for leveling up, and the other is to get the "rune mosaic" opened after the advanced level.

"Battle Stance", "Title", "Talent", "Equipment" and "Rune Inlay", the biggest feature at a high level is that they all greatly strengthen "skills".

As an old player, Rody naturally attaches great importance to "skills" - the fundamental function of "runes" is to strengthen skills, and such expensive and cumbersome things are not common, and many even reach advanced level 10 The guys at the top don't even know what a "rune" is...

At present, in the Karen Kingdom, only the highest-level people can realize the importance of "runes" to "skills". Others...even Wellington and Knight Titus, who went out to perform missions, have never paid attention to it. at this point.

This can be regarded as one of the advantages of the reborn, and Rody naturally knows how to make good use of it.

The door of the blacksmith's shop opened, Rody walked in, and quickly walked out with Nata—the difference from before was that he had an extra box of goods in his hand.

Carrying the goods to the other side of Houlier City, Roddy handed it to a wrinkled old lady, wrote a letter for the other party, and then took a basket of vegetables back to the trade from Cambay District It took more than two hours to finish all this at the blacksmith shop in the district.

This made Nata very puzzled, because she found that Rody seemed to have only been a "Lei Feng" in the city all morning, and had nothing to do with it...

Nata couldn't figure out what Rody was talking about. She wanted to ask, but she was so sullen that she didn't want to speak. She had to endure her strong curiosity and stood silently behind him.

Rody doesn't care what she thinks, because the total level is over 15. At this time, there are many missions in Houlier City that can provide experience. He chose the errand mission and went back and forth. After easily getting 8 experience, he went to When I came to the largest restaurant in the trade zone, I went in and found a remote place to sit down, opened the panel, and clicked "Upgrade".

The [Status Bar] shows that Rody has finally reached "Witcher Level 4", and two prompts pop up in the record bar below, reminding Rody that he can upgrade "Leap" and "Sprint" to Level 2.

The remaining 55 experience is enough to upgrade the skills, and Rody clicked it casually, so the two most commonly used mobility skills have new attributes:

【Level 2】

Consume 15 stamina

Use: Jump 16 meters in any direction (increase the furthest range by 1 meter)

Cold Blood: 15 seconds

【Dash Level 2】

Consume 3 stamina

Use: Increases movement speed by 3% for 6 seconds (boosts 0 speed gain)

Cooldown: 10 seconds

The improvement in skills is not large, but the cumulative effect is still amazing. Roddy has already been familiar with this, so everything is at his fingertips——Sitting in this relatively famous restaurant in Houllier City, there are still not many people who come to eat around Not much, and the atmosphere can be called lively, but Nata's cold look still gave Rody a headache...

"what do you want to eat?"

Nata tilted her head, and hummed imperceptibly, "Whatever."

Rody rolled his eyes. He rarely had a similar expression, but he was obviously helpless at this time—restaurants in this period were different from modern times. There were not many dishes to choose from, basically just ale, bread, and what the chef made according to his mood today. broth. So after throwing two silver coins to the waiter, Rody leaned on the wooden chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. It was just his "environmentally sensitive" fighting posture that allowed him to clearly hear the discussion not far away...

"...I've heard that His Excellency the Duke personally received him in front of the mansion. This style is really unprecedented.

"It is said that many undead were killed, and Earl Owen was chopped off directly, and hundreds of people were killed."

"I heard that he is very good at bow and arrow—"

"Shh... don't you see that the two of them over there are both carrying bows?"

The conversation fell silent for a moment, then continued.

"In these days, I heard that there are many imitators who came out to imitate that guy with his back bowed. Just now, I saw a guy outside, carrying a basket of green vegetables and leaves to run errands in the Cambay area. Unscrew it and give it to you as a ball."

Roddy curled his lips, not interested in kicking him in the head - this feeling of being named and discussed by people was very uncomfortable, he thought for a while, and then reached out and put the short bow behind his back on the chair beside him.

Opening the task bar casually, Rody found that the word [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] was no longer so bright red, but turned into an "orange red" color—this meant that Rody's level was approaching the "suitable level" for completing the task.

Based on this calculation, the entire [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] first-stage mission is estimated to be a mission that requires a total level of 2.

"Not enough time..."

Rody moved his eyes down, looked at the reminder of "147 days left", and frowned slightly.

The waiter brought warm ale and bread, and the meat dishes with soup did not look good, but it was always a pleasure to eat such food in winter—even if it was always tense Nata, who has a face, will inadvertently show a satisfied expression when faced with rich food...

Whether it's humans or wood elves, the people living at the bottom cherish this hard-won stability. Looking at everything in front of him, Rody couldn't help sighing silently: When the war comes, how many people will starve to death because they can't eat in the cold winter?

Can I... really stop all this?

"No one can stop His Majesty Augustine's footsteps"

Thousands of miles away, a hoarse roar echoed in the windy woods.

The Kingdom of Tasman—or it is more appropriate to call it the "Nation of the Dead"—has finally confirmed its action plan for the Kingdom of Karen this winter, and the person speaking at this time is the person in charge of the operation appointed by His Majesty Augustine: Bello Lord Tom.

A grey-white skeletal warhorse was riding on his crotch, and his cold armor made his withered body slightly thicker. His gray-white pupils glowed with fanaticism, showing his loyalty to His Majesty Augustine, and... his devotion to the enemy ruthless.

"Lord Baron, the intelligence station on the Gondola Mountains has confirmed that it is safe...we can set off now.

Bellom's lieutenant was a thin undead named Ike, who had a hole in his jaw and let his speech leak—a rather comical look.

"Your Majesty... is finally willing to take this step."

The baron of the undead pulled the reins, raised his head slightly, and looked up at the mountain that surrounded the Tasman Kingdom in front of him. The eyes behind the cold helmet were shining with excitement: "Listen to my order and move forward."

Fifty carriages, two hundred undead soldiers, and more than six necromancers, a group of people set out mightily towards the border of the Karen Kingdom—but their goal was not as direct as Ansadin's. Kingdom of Karen.

What he followed was His Majesty Augustine's personal oracle: to find the manufacturing technology of "charged spar"

Clearly, Ansardin's failure had a chain reaction. For several days in a row, the royal family of the Karen Kingdom has thrown diplomatic letters onto the "Dead Sea Chamber" one after another, causing an uproar in the parliament.

Seventeen years of careful ambush, once back before liberation, this is the true portrayal of the undead in this failure... Although His Majesty Augustine is calm, the anger in his heart is needless to mention. However, as a politician and careerist, no amount of anger and personal emotions must be suppressed in the bottom of my heart-although Tasman and the Karen Kingdom will tear their faces apart sooner or later, it is definitely not now.

So Augustine politely sent a reply letter, clearing himself of responsibility and apologizing softly.

Facing the strong man who is at the peak of ambition and strength, no one will really think that the other party is "subduing softness" except for the royal family of the Karen Kingdom.

The forbearance of the undead is unimaginable to ordinary people. Augustine has been planning for more than a hundred years, and he has waited for such a long time. For the future of Tasman, bending down at this time is just throwing the god of death at Karen for him. It's just an invitation...

When the "charged spar" is in hand, who else in the entire continent can stop the footsteps of the dead?

The cold wind blew, and Bellom's team disappeared in the snow.
