Chapter 351 Selfishness

May 3rd, afternoon.

While the homing pigeons from Efta were still circling in the sky, Roddy had already traveled a long distance of 1,700 kilometers with the help of "Kudduck" and arrived in the forest outside the "Holy Temple".

To be honest, Rody has never experienced such a simple and painful flight in his life-this is not the business class of 8, there is no coffee from the flight attendant during the whole flight, no music played in the earphones, and no E-books to pass the time in hand.

For twenty hours, all Rody faced was damp clouds and severe cold wind. Even though his whole body and head were wrapped in three layers of leather, Rody still felt his body was completely chilled. If it weren't for the persistent belief in his heart, Rody might have chosen to take a few more breaks in the middle of the journey—but now, after persisting for 20 hours, he arrived at the destination at the fastest speed

But this feeling was too painful. When jumping off the back of the snail, Rody fell into the mud on the spot because of his stiff legs, and then he even climbed seven or eight meters before holding on to a tree. stand up.

In this way, Rody hugged the tree for a full half an hour before gradually recovering from the hypoxic state. And then he began to take off the thick leather clothes wrapped around his body one by one, and after a simple meal and drink, he ran straight into the city.

The temple was built four hundred years ago. The structure of the entire city is similar to other cities in the kingdom. The only difference is that this city has the largest church complex in the world—and here is the "Rosary Cross" "The core of the core.

The atmosphere of the city has always been peaceful and quiet because of his beliefs. Rody walked in a hurry, but the believers on the roadside seemed completely unaware of sectarian conflicts. Roddy was not surprised by this. He ran to the front of the church and took out the first "Sacred Letter" he had ever obtained. Meet Permission".

The majestic and tall church has a Gothic spire, and the white marble floor and walls reveal the majesty and solemnity of the pavement. When walking through the corridor, the stone pillars on both sides are full of statues of popes and saints. At this time, Rody was not in the mood to sigh at all. He just kept urging the priest in front of him, and then finally saw the surprised-looking Archbishop Rubens in the study after a few minutes.

"Roddy? Are you..."

Rubens did not expect that Rody would suddenly come to the temple to look for him, and he was a little surprised—speaking of which, he had already trusted Rody, and was even more deeply moved when he heard the news that Rody had beheaded Bellom at the border. , But obviously Rody didn't look like he was here to catch up on the old days. After a brief inquiry, Rody told all the news straight to the point.

For this reason, Rubens' face instantly became serious. He looked around, and then said in a low voice: "I am afraid that this kind of news must be confirmed before the enemy's whereabouts can be reported to Mograine, and wait for his decision. Coordinating forces..."

"But you and I both know it's too late to do this." Rody's face was still a little pale, as if the warm temperature here still hadn't let his body recover from the cold: "Now Sally is still in the forest, the rose cross, the number of people Nearly 10,000 combat troops are there..."

"I know that no one will believe such news, and even you will doubt it at the first moment... But this is indeed the fact I have confirmed: if no measures are taken, all the troops in the sect may die in this battle suffered heavy losses during the battle, and even wiped out the entire army.”

"It's number three... we're running out of time.

"

Rubens opened his mouth slightly, as if he couldn't react because his head had received too much information. At this moment, there was a knock on the door next to it, and a soldier handed over an urgent letter—Rubens took it, found it was from Angmar, and immediately opened it to read it...

The content of the letter made him frown more and more, but a few seconds later Rubens raised his eyes in astonishment and asked, "Angmar said you were still in Holy City when the 30th? But How do you..."

Halfway through the conversation, he realized that this was not the point of the question—Rowdy's embarrassed and weak appearance at this time proved that this was no joke.

Rubens was able to step up to the position of "cardinal", and Rody's credit for eradicating the heretics and destroying the undead general can almost take the first place. At this time, through the proof of Angmar's letter, he has completely believed that Rody just now Those remarks can be called "Arabian Nights".

But problems also followed. He put away the letter, sighed, and said in a low voice: "I believe what you said, but the current situation is not optimistic..."

"The conflict between me and Mograine in the sect has almost been made public. If the entire battle plan is now canceled because of a piece of unsubstantiated news, then he is slapping himself in the face, trying to rely on normal news as a warning. I'm afraid it won't work at all."

Such an accident was unexpected, Rody rubbed his temples in distress, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Then they don't have a reserve team?"

"Because the enemy has never actively resisted, Mograine did not use the 3,000 soldiers of the follow-up reserve team. These people should all be on standby in Pass Town now."

The town of Pass is on the east side of the Brier Forest, only a day and a night away from the village of Mogra.

Rubens understood Rody's meaning, but he shook his head very crisply and said, "I have no way to persuade Mograine to use the reserve team, I'm afraid he will have doubts after I talk too much——At present, my position is very sensitive , if there is any move, Mograine will probably take the opportunity to make trouble..."

This is not an excuse to shirk responsibility, but a fact. Rody understood Rubens' difficulties in this position, but he did not intend to let Rubens ask Mograine, but asked slowly after taking a deep breath: "There is only one way to do it now, but I don't know if you are willing to help me..."

Rubens' expression became serious: "I just want to know, is your plan out of your own selfishness?"

"Yes," Rody admitted without hesitation, "I want to save Sally, and I don't want her to die. And I have a very important friend in Mogra Village, and I don't want her to be affected by the war."

After such words were finished, the surrounding atmosphere fell into silence.

Rubens narrowed his eyes, looked away from Roddy for a moment, and then reached out and closed the door of the study.

"Then... tell me in detail."

May 4th.

Nai Fei, who was wandering around the village as usual, suddenly found a group of guys wearing teaching robes in the village.

There were not many people on the other side, only twelve or three in total. They loudly narrated certain teachings, and at the same time held up the necklace of crossed rose cross in the air, like showing something to the surrounding villagers.

"Rose Cross" has a lot of believers in Karen Kingdom, and missions like this happen several times a year—in rural areas where the level of education is generally low, although the farmers' beliefs can't bring them much gold coin donations, But it can provide a better source of soldiers, so most people in similar situations are not surprised.

But these guys who appeared this year made Nefei feel a little strange.

Because the "priest" who was leading the speech was the guy who asked Sally where the village chief was... In my impression, the other party was not wearing a religious robe, and he didn't seem to have a bright aura on his body.

"Camilla, what, do you still want to join the church and become a nun?"

"No, I just think they're a little different, Uncle Sam."

Nai Fei, who was standing in the shade of the tree, pointed to those guys and answered, while Sam passing by stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's really different. Those missionaries who came here in the past were all sallow and emaciated. Those who came this year Guys, it seems like I finally had a few full meals."

This is true. Although the priest’s robes are loose, it can still be seen that most of these people are strong and have thick arms. They are obviously not the weak pastors of the past—but Naifei’s focus is obviously different from Sam’s. When only paying attention to the appearance, Naifei can see the faint light emanating from the surface of these guys' bodies...

This kind of ability seems to be innate, she can see the soft blue light on her mother, and the white light on Sally, and now, he can see in these guys who call themselves "Rosicrucian" believers. There are some purple hazes.

"This should be a shadow element..."

Sally tilted her head and looked at it for a long time. Sam thought she was really curious, and said, "I just came back from the neighboring village today. Do you want to see the Templars? It looks like they are still wearing full plate armor."

"It's Uncle Sam, do you want to see it?"

Naifei shamelessly exposed his little thoughts, and then ran home bouncing - but after pushing open the wooden door, Naifei's originally relaxed expression revealed some hesitation and emotion that he had never seen before. serious…

"Mom said it's usually a bad person who pretends to be himself."

She muttered softly, moved the wooden stool to the bookshelf with some difficulty, then climbed onto the wooden stool and stood on tiptoe, reached out and pulled out a seemingly huge and heavy classic from the highest layer of the bookshelf.

This book, which is one-third the size of Nefer, is actually very light, and he jumped off the bench unsteadily. Nefer put it on the wooden table with a "clang" and softly recited a passage in High Elven After the incantation, the huge tome opened from the middle like a box.

In the dim light, three small paper scrolls were quietly lying in the center, Nai Fei thought for a while, then reached out and took them all out.

"Nifei has grown up and has to learn to protect herself."
