Chapter 278 First Love

Everything that happened tonight was perfect from a strategic point of view, but from a personal point of view, Roddy failed.

Everything happened two hours ago.

Roddy asked Akasha to come to the tent to find him in order to arrange tonight's operation. After confirming that there were only four enemies, he had already figured out a battle plan: let Nata provide long-range support, let Akasha heal and support, and he himself defeated the enemy in close combat. Rody was familiar with planning these things, but Akasha's state, however, Let him not know how to talk to each other.

Speaking of which, Roddy is actually very satisfied with this "follower". Akasha is highly skilled in divine arts, has a high level, and is extremely fast at learning everything. In contrast, Nata's speed in learning Bullinga is several blocks behind her. In Roddy's eyes, Akasha's potential is almost unlimited, even comparable to Soderol.

However, Rody's headache is...he doesn't know how to refuse Akasha's pursuit.

Roddy, who needed to recharge his EQ, couldn't find a solution after thinking hard, but Akasha, who walked into the tent on time, didn't know his troubles, and coughed lightly: "Roddy, I'm here."

Rody raised his head and looked at Akasha's expectant expression, but felt that he had to "tell everything" with Akasha as soon as possible, because he was afraid that if it was delayed for a long time, it would make Akasha even more uncomfortable.

Coughing a few times, Rody organized his speech for a long time, and finally hesitated: "Akasha, um, um, do you have... thoughts about me?"

Luo Di was conflicted, but his poor EQ was not enough to support him to say any euphemistic sentences. At this time, the straightforward culture made him feel extremely embarrassed.

"ah?"

Akasha was taken aback for a moment, and then her cheeks instantly turned red like fire. When she lowered her head, Rody could even see that the roots of her ears turned pink.

"me…"

She wrung her fingers and said nothing, but that shy look had already given the answer.

This is her "first love". She, who has never experienced a relationship before, is extremely nervous at this moment, but she is still more excited and excited...

Is he going to accept me?

Rody knew the answer just by looking at her, but this "answer" made him even more headache--the vague feeling with Sally had already made him feel guilty towards Nafi, if Akasha continued like this, he would I was really afraid that I would hurt their hearts.

he understands

I can't "go with the flow" and procrastinate like this.

Taking a deep breath, he brewed his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I want to tell you that I - already have someone I like."

After the words fell, Akasha was frozen there as if struck by lightning.

The originally blushing face turned pale in an instant, and she raised her head suddenly, as if she didn't realize what Rody was saying just now.

"Yes...is it Nata?"

Akasha's eyes widened in despair.

"No...that's not clear," Rody wanted to say that the person he was waiting for was Nefer, but he hadn't even seen Nefer before, so how could he explain it to Akasha?

So he made a big mistake inadvertently—because Roddy didn't know, a vague excuse would always hurt more than a clear refusal.

Akasha's body trembled slightly, and she wanted to speak a few times, but she couldn't speak out with her lips pressed together. Luo Di was completely at a loss for her behavior, because he found that... when everything was revealed, he didn't know what else to say.

At this time, Nata happened to enter the tent, and Rody had no choice but to bite the bullet and start arranging tasks. Surprisingly, Akasha didn't leave angrily or have any abnormalities. She just listened to the arrangement carefully, followed Rody all the way up Mount Kars, received instructions, and then ambush at the top of the mountain with Nata.

In Roddy's eyes, "discussing emotional issues" and "fighting the enemy" are completely different things. But he obviously doesn't know how far "reason" often goes when it comes to feelings for women...

So when Akasha was using "Retribution" all over the sky, Rody had to bite the bullet and stand up to clear the field.

He didn't understand, but had nothing to say.

When the battlefield returned to tranquility, the howling cold wind made Akasha feel icy all over, and her froze body was even a little disobedient. She clenched her fists tightly, but felt that her fingertips had lost consciousness.

He must like Nata, but he doesn't want to admit it...

I messed up everything, only then would he have a reason to drive me away...

I'm about to leave, I feel so sad...

When I go back, I'll just find a corner where there's no one and have a good cry...

Rody would never have thought that Akasha's seemingly crazy behavior was just to give him a reason to "drive away" himself.

But what Akasha waited for was not Rody's reprimand.

"If you are afraid of the dark, open the ring."

Rody's words were as caring as ever, and Akasha instantly remembered the scenes when he was protected by Rody in the dark...

He saved himself, he gave himself the ring, he taught himself new knowledge, but he made a mistake, why didn't he get angry?

Akasha's heart was instantly filled with guilt. She wanted to apologize, but tears fell to the ground first.

She didn't know what she said next, but instinctively opened her arms and slammed into Roddy's arms, and then she couldn't suppress the depression in her heart anymore, and cried aloud...

Nata watched silently from the side, with a puzzled expression. And no matter how stupid Rody was, he knew that he couldn't push the little priest away in his arms at this time, so he could only wait silently for her to release the depression in her heart. It wasn't until the three of them started their journey again that Akasha gradually stopped sobbing and followed Rody again.

He didn't chase me away...

Originally hopeless, Akasha wiped away the tears on her face, trotted two steps, and caught up with Rody.

Just stay by his side.

Akasha's first love suffered a "heavy injury" before it even started, but she did not give up...Although she was shy, her heart was firmer than ever at this time.

December 4th.

"Baron Bellom, news from Mount Kars."

In the camp at the foot of Gondola Mountain, the undead soldiers who came to report the news handed over the letter on Blood Crow.

The temperature dropped rapidly in December, and there was another snowfall at this time. Bellom flicked the letter with snowflakes, stretched out his hand, then chuckled, and put the letter aside.

"Ansadin... Magda... Did you lose to this kind of guy?"

Although the city is extremely deep, Bellom at this time can't hide the pride and excitement in his chest--how can there be less credit for solving the thorn in His Majesty Augustine's eyes so easily?

This trip back, I am afraid that my status in the Tasman Kingdom will be improved by leaps and bounds.

Just as he was thinking about how to report the good news to Augustine, there was new news outside. Bellom turned his head and asked, "Is there any news ahead?"

"Lord Baron, the first scout team has just received news that Elson's location has been confirmed."

"good."

Bellom seldom praised him. He was in a good mood, and even a smile appeared on his stiff and pale face.

After killing Roddy and finding Elson's clues, all plans are proceeding step by step without any accidents. This is indeed a good sign.

He stood up and ordered aloud: "Remove the monitoring of Rody's troops, and let everyone prepare... Before we go to Elson, we still need to solve the last problem."

His gaze turned slightly to one side, and he locked on the handwriting circled by ink on the map——

"Sola Sentinel".

December 5th, early morning.

The tranquility of Mount Karls was broken by a group of unexpected guests.

Fifteen figures in cloaks appeared at the foot of the mountain, and then moved along the slope at an unimaginable speed, crossing half of the mountain in half an hour like walking on flat ground...

This is the "Holy Meeting" team with heavy responsibilities.

Camille, who was walking against the cold wind, tightened her cloak. These days, she has always been at the forefront of the team, and the fatigue caused by the continuous release of arcane skills is inevitable. She couldn't hide her tired look, but even so, the indifferent "teammates" behind her didn't show any concern at all, and followed her silently, with cold faces.

Regarding this situation, Camilla felt helpless, but she had nowhere to complain. Because this is a task, she has no reason to refuse.

But when the team crossed the mountainside, Camilla found that something was wrong with the road ahead...

"Wait... There was an avalanche here."

The team stopped, but Captain Spark at the rear immediately said: "There is no need to stop, it's just an avalanche, the way to go, keep going."

Camilla frowned slightly, and replied, "I saw traces of a tent. It seems that something was buried by the avalanche."

These words finally aroused the interest of the descendants of the high elves behind them. They cast their eyes forward, then walked over, and dug a few times at random with one after another arcane skills--

"It happened in two days."

"The tents were made by Efta. This should be an army camp. Are they all buried?"

"But... there is no corpse."

Captain Spark snorted coldly, and said seriously to the surrounding team members: "No matter what is under here, it has nothing to do with us. The 'Holy Council' didn't ask us to investigate these things!"

After saying this, Camilla knew that she had to move on. She sighed, and looked at the mess after the avalanche before her, but she had some doubts in her heart.

There is no trace of excavation, and there is not even a single body in a buried camp?

This kind of thing has a bit of a weird taste, but as Captain Spark said, the "Holy Society" is not a charity organization, and even if a dragon is buried here, it has nothing to do with them.

"keep going."

She waved her hand to strengthen the soft ice and snow road, stepped forward, and led the team to move on.
