Chapter 271 Headache

afternoon.

A team came to the door of the Duke's Mansion. The soldiers were travel-swept, their faces were flushed by the wind, and their movements were a little stiff. After receiving the order to disband, only two remained outside the door. Tall figure.

Wellington and Titus.

A lot of things have happened in Efta recently. Except for the accident in Kig Town, the nobles this year seem to be uneasy. Obviously, the main reason is that the Duke of Angmar's health is getting worse-the old Duke has no son, although the daughter has the right to inherit, But Sally won't be able to return here until two years later. Although her title must be "Duke of Luciferon", it is foreseeable that before she returns, she cannot control everything that happens in the territory

The inspection of the two guardian knights is probably to beat these evil-minded guys. However, after completing the task perfectly, the two chatted jokingly in the cold wind.

"Actually, the more I think about it now, the more I feel that I am getting old."

"You are thirty-nine, I am thirty-seven, youngest?"

"Excellent juniors always make people feel that time flies quickly."

Wellington was thoughtful, and then laughed out loud: "Yes, I feel a little reconciled to seeing the best of the juniors grow up, but—heh, what can I do?"

"When I followed the team to the battlefield for the first time, Old Cauchy and Knight Longbottom were also at our age. After all, this world belongs to young people..."

Titus said a few words with emotion, and then said no more, and Wellington walked beside him silently. The two of them are not hypocritical, and they basically don't talk nonsense on weekdays, but every time they see Luo Di, a monster, they often can't help but sigh like this.

When they entered the mansion, they thought they would wait until the duke's lunch break was over, but they didn't expect this old man who had been coughing for more than a month to appear in front of them with a rosy complexion—both of them were a little surprised. This is because the potion that Rody found from Ansardin worked.

"Such potions are overdrawn..."

"If I don't overstretch my body, I'm afraid I won't even be able to survive this winter." The Duke of Angmar looked very indifferent, and waved his hand: "If I live half a year longer, I can do more meaningful things, that's enough gone."

The two guardian knights also understood the meaning of his words, but facing death so calmly made them feel a little emotional after all.

"What special circumstances?"

Most of the situation has been reported in letters, and the Duke's question is naturally related to some other things.

Titus thought for a while, and said: "There is nothing wrong with the nobles in the territory, but there have been some strange reports recently—I didn't pay attention to it at first, but then I thought... I should say it."

"Several villages near the forest have witnessed something strange - villagers said they all saw three large black birds circling overhead."

"If it was one or two, I would only consider it a coincidence, but if such a report appeared four times, I would feel a little strange..."

Regarding the Necromancer's "Blood Raven", there are not many people who really understand it. Even someone as experienced as the Duke of Angmar does not understand what this phenomenon means, so the doubts at this time It can only be kept in the heart.

"I'll go back and ask Benjamin about this matter. He may know something. You go to rest first, or—" the Duke pointed out the window, "go talk to him?"

Titus and Wellington followed Angmar's fingers and looked out the window, and then they both raised their eyebrows at the same time. The Duke was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

The two knights didn't hide the surprise on their faces at this time, and replied at the same time: "Rody...has become stronger again."

The rear of the mansion is a rather large back garden—different from the humble garden behind Ansardin's original manor, the back garden of the Luciferon family has a history of more than two hundred years, with towering ancient trees and Exquisite fountains and sculptures, after a few snowfalls, the servants still clean up the place neatly.

In the past, Sally always liked to relax here, because the atmosphere here is peaceful—but at this moment, the "tranquility" in the garden is full of chilling.

Nata concentrated and held her breath, her body lay low, and she hid behind the tree like a cheetah ready to go. Wearing the black and red "Stinger" suit on her body, her aura has undergone an astonishing change—if Nata was a "shooter" with little sense of presence before, then now, she already has Roddy The vigor and self-confidence when he first became a "Ranger".

Nata had never imagined that a set of equipment could achieve such an effect. Wearing it, instead of feeling heavy or uncomfortable, her whole body seemed to be filled with infinite power... She could even feel a faint wave flowing in the On the leather armor on the surface of the body, this wave made her five senses sharper, made her react faster, and ran faster, and even made her feel... her strength has surpassed those who used to be the best in Elsa Village. hunter.

The arrow was on the string, and when Nata heard the slight sound coming from a distance, she ran out immediately, drawing the bow and aiming at the distance while moving

The black and red figure quickly turned into a phantom, and the small leather boots stepped on the stone road almost silently. The long arrows shot fiercely, and three arrows in a row were "aggressively" nailed to the tree. The speed of fire was several times faster than before.

However, such a fierce attack was still in vain, Nata frowned, and carefully distinguished Rody's position from the noise.

But just as her footsteps slowed down, an arrow appeared from the side behind her without warning and hit her arm precisely...

"Snapped"

The arrow had no arrowhead, and was bounced away by the sturdy leather armor on the spot. Although there was no skin trauma, Nata's arm lost consciousness instantly, and the short bow in her hand fell to the ground...

This arrow seemed to decide the outcome, but Nata gritted her teeth and rushed out on the spot, pulled out the dagger at her waist, dodged the second arrow that was coming at her sideways, and rushed into the forest—

Three seconds later, there was a "crack, bang, bang" fighting sound in the woods, and immediately after, her figure was thrown out mercilessly...

This is not a simple "throwing", because Nata flew in the air for a distance of ten meters before rolling to the ground. When her body stopped rolling, she was completely unable to move, and she was completely lying on the ground in the shape of a "big". on the ground.

"At any time, you must understand your own advantages. Blindly working hard does not mean that you have a chance of winning. People who really survive to the end often have enough patience..."

Luo Di's figure slowly walked out of the woods, "It's okay to be ruthless, but don't let your emotions affect your reason, or you will be seeking your own death."

Nata spent a long time trying to get up, but the shock on her body was not light, and when she saw Rody's palm reaching out to her, she was slightly taken aback, and then grabbed him without hesitation. hand, and stood up with strength.

The heartbeat was a little fast for some reason, and Nata felt a little guilty that it was caused by fighting...

Luo Di did not let go of her hand, but seriously lowered his head and turned her arm over to look at it. After confirming that his arrow did not hurt her, he whispered: "It's nothing serious, just take a rest." , remember what I just said, let’s stop here today.”

Such a scene seems quite strange: just a moment ago he sent Nata flying more than ten meters away, and now he showed a concerned look... If the bystanders don't understand that this is the two of them practicing in actual combat, they will probably bother He yelled at Roddy for his hypocrisy.

However, Nata took Rody's words calmly, as if she didn't care about the fact that she had already been beaten five or six times by Rody today.

"Continue tomorrow."

"Understood, teacher."

She responded in a low voice, with a submissive attitude, and with a little gratitude: because Nata only realized how big the gap between herself and Roddy was when she had several times the strength before...

Silently following Rody, Nata raised her head slightly, looking up at the rational and excessive human being in front of her, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Looking down from the window of the Duke's study room, the battle scene between Rody and Nata just now can be seen at a glance—and from this perspective, the strength Rody showed... really scared Titus and the others enough.

There is no need to say more about long-range archery, so what happened to the power to throw Nata more than ten meters away?

And the more calm and powerful aura in him can't be cultivated overnight.

Under all kinds of doubts, Angmar had to shake his head and sighed: "Such a different kind... If you give him enough space, where will he go?"

Seeing that Wellington and Knight Titus came back, Rody changed the leather armor, went to the Duke's study and chatted for a while, and finalized two things before leaving: Knight Titus agreed to be the instructor of the cavalry team in Kig Town , while the Wellington Cavaliers said they would try their best to help Roddy choose high-quality soldiers.

After confirming that the Duke's health has indeed improved a lot due to the potion, Rody finally felt relieved. After returning to the guest room and sitting on the armchair, Rody relaxed, remembered that he had brought two books, and put them out—one was "Self-Awareness of the Defense System" given to him by Brody, and the other One is the old notebook of the witcher Dukar when he changed his profession.

Rody was more interested in the deeds of the legendary witcher. First, he opened the notebook. He saw that Ducal had recorded some simple events in it before. After reading it carefully, he found that there seemed to be quite a lot of articles in it.

"On May 4th, the problem of headaches has not been resolved. Arcanists have always been prejudiced against me, and they are unwilling to come into contact with other people like me. Sakya is in good condition and has not shown symptoms of headaches."

Headache?

Rody remembered that his head hurt when he released the skill "Soul Link" with Saga, and later when he released the "Tortoise Shell Shield"... Is there a connection between the two?

"I came to Elson on the ninth of May."

Seeing the word "Elson", Rody immediately frowned—this city seems to be related to the "charged spar", and it was the place where Ansardin focused his research at the beginning.

"...Khadgar doesn't want to see me. There is nothing I can do about it. Now that my identity is too sensitive, it has become a luxury to meet these high-ranking guys openly."

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but staying in this city makes me very uncomfortable. There is always a voice talking in my head. I know it's not Sakya—I decided to leave here as soon as possible."

"In the early morning, I had a severe headache, which was the worst since the onset of symptoms."

Looking at the slightly distorted handwriting, Rody felt more doubts in his heart—Dukal was such a powerful existence, why did he repeatedly emphasize his headaches in a notebook?
