Chapter 348 Too Late

The shape of [Purification Blade] is not so much a short sword, but a slightly longer dagger. Compared with the heavy and huge "Blood Drinker" battle axe, this weapon is obviously more suitable for single combat or assassination —It has a faster attack speed, more flexible use methods...and a higher "crit rate".

Although the attack power is not high, it is still a suitable weapon for him. Being able to send such things, Rody knew Rubens' attitude well.

The "Ring of Absolution" was casually worn on the middle finger, and the dagger with its sheath hung on his waist. After Rody moved his eyes away from the panel, he found that Lucy and Quentin were not far away from him, looking at it nervously. Himself—he nodded with a smile, as a greeting, but he didn't say much in the past.

After all, he does not have the side of "being a good teacher". There are many things to be busy at this time, and Rody is not interested in educating these juniors. He walked towards the few lords who have always supported the Luciferon family, and chatted naturally stand up.

"Your Excellency the Duke is not feeling well, go to rest first, but there are some things I want to talk to you about, about the wood elves' trade in goods..."

"Elson City is a well-preserved high elf city, it is in the southwest of the territory..."

"If you are willing to open a merchant team, the profits will naturally be much better than staying here, and it will even have a huge influence in the entire kingdom in the future."

"Of course, I welcome mages to study the books there. There are six libraries full of Olympiad books in the city, and there are a lot of related documents..."

"The function of the 'Static Time Barrier'? Let me briefly explain..."

Elson City is an empty city. If you want to have enough residents and revive the economy, the first thing you need is population. Although the saying "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads" has limitations, it still applies to Elson City. It is more reliable. After all, its location is too remote, and there are many dangerous monsters in the surrounding forest. Although it expands the territory for the kingdom, if there is no one, all of Rody's plans can only be castles in the air , impossible to achieve.

Therefore, his actions at this time can probably be called "investment attraction": he whetted the appetite of the lords, and then handed over the matter to a guy like Henry, who is good at doing business. The heavy lords pricked up their ears. They heard that Rody had promised generous conditions to the five lords. They didn't say anything, but they were all envious in their hearts...

But if they stand on the wrong team, they have to pay the price. At this time, they didn't expect Roddy to look at each other. However, Roddy soon announced that "Elsa Village" would be gradually opened to everyone. At the same time, Elson City also welcomes all caravans who are willing to fund and come to trade.

If you hit more than a dozen sticks, you must remember to give a few sweet dates.

Rody understands that he can't keep oppressing these nobles. Although he doesn't agree with the aristocratic values ​​of "profit first", it doesn't mean that he wants to blindly hate each other...Using the other party's greed to add to his own strength, Rody is naturally happy to see it It's done.

As Rody released the news one by one, the nobles who were in a roller coaster mood finally breathed a sigh of relief—although this banquet was like a nightmare, they did not throw them all into the abyss, and although the final result was not "As You Like It" can be said to have completely resolved the most acute conflict between the nobles and Angmar.

Roddy got a large number of possible business partners in the future, the duke was no longer watched by many enemies, and the nobles also had new goals. For Efta, who was originally extremely unstable, everything was enough.

The dance music was still playing, but Rody no longer had the need to stay here. He left the venue and went straight to the Duke's mansion. After asking John the butler a few words, he walked into Angmar's study.

Although his body is weak, the Duke has been waiting for Roddy—after countless incidents, he has completely regarded Roddy as an indispensable "pillar" of the territory. And every time he sees this young junior, he always secretly laments that son who went astray...

Not to mention skills, if Francis can have half of Roddy's awareness, he won't be a reviled traitor

Rody didn't know what the Duke was thinking, and after saluting, he said casually: "The problem is basically solved, but Bishop Nova is very enthusiastic, and pulled me to talk about a lot of things, it seems to be 'the temple, the loss of the undead is very serious. care?"

"No, what they care about is you—you don't know, besides Nova, there are already three or four bishops who want to pull you into their diocese, and they have promised all kinds of benefits..."

"What is this for? In their eyes, I don't seem to be doing anything other than killing people, right?"

Roddy didn't expect this to happen, and was very surprised.

"To put it bluntly, I want you to kill people. The Rose Cross is carrying out a large-scale siege against the heretics in the Brill Forest. After all the dioceses have sent their men, it is natural that there is some intention of competing for the limelight... But at this time, the B Cross , the siege should be coming to an end soon."

The Duke's tone was very casual, but Rody's expression was stagnant... This was the third time he had heard about sectarian wars, but he didn't realize until now that the encirclement and suppression of the "Rose Cross" It seems that it is not the small trouble that I imagined.

"Wait... how many people did the church send out this time? Five hundred?"

"It's far more than that. It seems that nearly ten thousand people have been invested in the early and late stages. It is said that more than two thousand heretics have been executed, and now they are looking for a decisive battle..." Angmar suddenly noticed Rody's face. With an expression that was not quite right, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why, what's wrong?"

"It's not wrong, there must be something wrong."

The words that Nata said to herself echoed in his ears, such words as "Scepter of Viper", "Bishop of Goethe", "digging a pit", etc., made Roddy immediately realize that those heretics... seem to be brewing a huge... conspiracy

This is by no means a child's play made up, and the behavior of "Rose Cross" at this time is tantamount to walking towards the enemy's trap.

Having figured this out, Rody immediately told the news he had learned, and said in a deep voice, "We must immediately notify the Temple of this matter, and let them change their plans."

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the study seemed to freeze in an instant. The Duke of Angmar showed some disbelieving expressions on his face. He took a deep breath, and then murmured in a trembling voice: "What you said...is true. ?”

It's not that Angmar doesn't believe Rody's words, the rhetorical question at this time seems to be just the last fluke left in his heart - but seeing Rody's expression, he understands... the situation has exceeded his imagination.

"I'm going to inform Bishop Nova now."

Rody didn't talk nonsense, he got up and was about to go out, but he was stopped by Angmar when he took two steps. When he turned his head, Rody suddenly realized that the Duke's state was very strange, so he rushed over to support him, and the other Pulling the wooden chair over with his hands—Angmar's face was pale, his mouth was opening and closing to speak, Rody didn't think much, and moved his ears to it...

"Sally, Sally participated in this operation, she is now in Brier Forest..."

"Kara"

The armrest of the chair he was holding with his right hand was pinched off by Luo Disheng on the spot, and he only felt a "buzz" in his head, as if he had been hit hard by a bolt of lightning...

"It takes four days for the carrier pigeon to deliver the news to the temple at the fastest, but this kind of news...from receiving it to the team responding, it will take at least two weeks..."

Having said that, the old man's voice already trembled undisguisedly: "But Rubens told me that they will have a decisive battle within a week..."

Rody didn't know why Sally didn't stay in the "Holy Temple" to study but went to fight some heretics instead. He only knew that Sally seemed to be about to step into the enemy's trap right now.

The panic that appeared in his heart made Rody's eyes a little lost, but then he regained his sanity after taking a few deep breaths—the gaze that had lost focus was suddenly sharp, and when he got up, he yelled out of the room: " John comes in"

He gently helped Angmar to the chair, and then he found that the Duke's face was pale due to panic, and his lips turned purple, obviously because his heart was suffering badly——the housekeeper rushed in after hearing his shout , but heard Rody order loudly: "Go outside and call Bishop Nova in, the Duke needs magical treatment

Pausing for a second, Roddy added: "Tell the bishop that I have something to talk to him, and don't mention the Duke's condition."

Angmar waved his hand to signal John to listen to Rody, and the latter hurriedly rushed out of the study with a nod—and then, Roddy stroked the Duke's back, and immediately said after finishing his words: "There is still a week before the decisive battle, the enemy It is still unclear whether the trap is real or powerful, and we still have a chance..."

These words sounded like "psychological comfort" to the duke, but Luo Di was not just talking nonsense, he continued: "Now I have a 'priest' recognized by the church, the treatment, when I arrive at the temple, I can immediately find the superintendent." Bishops, and the quickest to influence their decisions..."

Before he finished speaking, Bishop Nova rushed in under the leadership of the steward. After releasing the healing magic, Rody looked at Angmar whose face recovered a little, and just said "I'm leaving now", Without any explanation, he turned around and rushed out...

The weak Angmar watched him disappear from sight, but there was no hope at all in his heart—even though Rody performed miracles again and again, there was still a long way to go from here to the "temple" of the Rosary Cross. Thousands and seven hundred kilometers, and more than one hundred and five hundred kilometers to the "Brill Forest".

So what if Rody can meet the bishop? How can it influence the decision? By the time he gets there, I'm afraid the war will already be over
