Chapter 369 Departure

Luo Di had never had such a fierce quarrel with the opposite sex, because the emotions in his mind were agitated, he couldn't eat anything for the past ten minutes, he just poured cold water into his stomach bit by bit, his face was very stiff.

"Brother Luo Di, what happened?"

Nafi ate the bread and cheese on the dinner plate, which was a little strange to Roddy's untouched food.

"There are some matters to be dealt with at Efta, and I'm thinking of countermeasures." Rody smiled reluctantly, "By the way, we need to speed up our return. I'll have your books kept in the temple and let them Send it over in a while."

"My mother said in the letter that if the books are kept well, there will be no problem."

After Naifei finished speaking, she looked at the stairs, wondering why Sally didn't go downstairs to eat, but because of Roddy's ugly face, she pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Breakfast was spent in a slightly dull atmosphere like this, and then Rody went to the market to buy seven or eight cloaks, leather clothes and food, packed his leather armor and longbow, and when he came back, Nai Fei said that Sally went out after receiving a message from a priest. Roddy opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, but said after a moment of silence: "Then let's go."

"Aren't you waiting to say goodbye to Sister Sally?"

"No more."

"Brother Luo Di... you two had a fight, right?"

"…Um."

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a moment, and Roddy continued to step forward, casually carrying the short bow on his back, looking at the giant bird hovering in the sky in the distance, and said: "Let's go."

When the shadow of the squirrel was gradually moving away from the temple, the depressed Sally just pushed open the solid wooden door in front of her.

When arguing with Roddy early in the morning, she lied that she had gone to see Rubens, but she did not expect that at noon, the cardinal actually came to ask her to talk—after entering the core of the sect, Rubens' office was away from there. The "St. Peter's Basilica" located in the center of the city is closer. Behind the gate, golden sunlight is shining from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The gray-haired old man is writing something with a quill pen, signed it, and sealed it with a ring. Authorized seal, when Rubens turned his eyes, his slightly frowning brows stretched out—

"The rest of the troops have basically avoided the enemy's pursuit. Now the situation has stabilized, and there will be no more battles in the near future." He smiled and motioned Sally to sit down, "Speaking of it, because of you and Rody, The denomination really avoided a lot of sacrifice."

Such a compliment would have made Sally smile happily in the past, but at this time, her chest was very tight, and she just lowered her head and let out a "huh".

"By the way, after studying the scepter, the Pope felt that it was necessary for you to have a look. I want you to come today to tell you about it—probably at noon tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Rubens."

"By the way, how is Rody recently? I'd like to ask him to talk about aiding the territory for some time tonight. Let's talk to him when you go back."

Sally took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably agitated: Rody can even use the excuse of "controlling a city" to fool himself, the so-called trust has long since disappeared, how can he talk to him when he goes back?

"He...he may be returning to Everta soon, saying it's something urgent."

This kind of answer is true, but Rubens did not show any surprise when he heard it. Instead, he nodded and said, "That's right, he has too many things to do recently. That city is basically an empty city, and it is too difficult to build it." It's..."

Sally frowned slightly, and asked a little strangely: "What empty city?"

Rubens was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't he tell you? Roddy found an ancient city on the border of the kingdom, and the royal family has officially recognized his baron status, and expanded part of the country's territory."

He paused and explained: "However, although the city is very large, there are almost no people living in it, and it faces threats from both the undead and the orcs, so it is in urgent need of construction. The most he talked with me this time was the issue of supporting construction. , the first batch of support teams are already being screened, and may depart in a few days...

What Rubens said later, Sally didn't hear clearly at all, she just stood there suddenly, recalling the words that Rody said in front of her in her mind-he didn't seem to be lying?

But so what...

Sally rubbed the space between her brows, but then she heard Rubens say: "...But it may take two months for my team to arrive in his city, unlike him, who can arrive here from Houlier in only three days. "

"What?"

Sally thought she heard it wrong, she raised her eyes, "Three...days?"

Rubens didn't notice her slightly unusual tone, and quickly replied: "Something happened to Efta before, so your father held a banquet on April 30th, and he and Roddy took over the territory The hidden dangers in the house were completely subsided, and that night, he received an early warning from Roddy about the battle."

This is the "inside story" that Sally didn't know before—it turned out that it was not Rubens who was first aware of the enemy's trap, but Roddy...

"In terms of time, Angmar has no time to notify you by normal means, so he can only ask Benjamin and me for help—but people may not believe it...Rody appeared in my room three days later. In front of you, even one step earlier than your father's pigeon."

"At that time, Mograine was in power alone, and I had no right to mobilize the army for support. Roddy directly asked me to forge the order. He asked about your approximate location, borrowed a set of priest's robes, and then led the army on the sixth. with the reinforcements to Briel Woods."

Hearing this, Sally opened her mouth undisguisedly, and the shock in her mind made her not know what to say for a while—because judging from all the words Rubens said, Roddy was for came to save her...

"He, how did he do it? From Houlier City to here—I walked for nearly two months..."

"Didn't you see the collapsed pigeon coop? He found a giant bird somewhere, and rode him halfway across the country. I remember—when Roddy came to me, his body was almost frozen. Paralyzed, maybe he hasn't stopped all the way..."

Rubens' words made Sally clenched her fists, and her nails almost touched her palms.

Cardinals don't lie, Roddy flew halfway across the country, really just to save her...

"It's also thanks to that giant bird. On your way back a few days ago, Luo Disheng held back a team of more than 2,000 people. I only judged such things from the information received one after another yesterday..."

Sally bit her lips tightly, in pain, but just to hold back her tears.

you didn't say anything...

You just suffer in silence...

It would be nice if you could explain...

However, the severe pain from the palm of her hand could not turn back time after all—when she realized this, Sally already understood... No amount of regret can save the fact that has been cast.

After finishing the conversation with Rubens, Sally returned to the residence in a daze, the empty house was silent, even though she knew the result in her heart, she still rushed into all the rooms like crazy, hoping to see Rody's familiar figure—but in the end, she could only sit in the empty and silent restaurant, looking at the bronze handle that Rody had deformed and discarded, feeling sad.

The huge loss and bewilderment are more unbearable than the forbidden curse. Sally closed her eyes. She wanted to catch up with Rody, explain to him, apologize to him, but after Rody left on a flying mount, the last thing in her heart was... Hope gradually fades away...

She sat in front of the table, as if her soul was out of her body, and sat motionless for three hours, until a priest sent a letter bearing the emblem of the Luciferon family, and she finally moved her frozen body , the fingers tore off the wax seal with some effort—

Even if she loses everything, her father will eventually bring her the warmth of trust. Sally exhales lightly, and the feeling of heartache seems to be relieved a little. However, after reading this short letter written by someone else, she truly feels I realized what it means to be "like falling into an ice cave".

Getting up abruptly, Sally ran out of the room frantically, stumbled all the way, and came back to Rubens' desk...

"Lord Cardinal, I...I want to go home, back to Efta, right now."

Her eyes almost lost focus, and her voice was hoarse, which made people feel distressed: "Father, he may not last long."

Sally, who set off on a starry night, started her journey towards Houlier City, which is 1,700 kilometers away.

At the same moment, Rody and Nafi, who jumped off the Kodak to rest, were already three hundred kilometers away from the "Holy Temple".

When summer is quietly approaching, the country still seems to be in the so-called "stable" - the battle between the two major sects collided vigorously, the seemingly destined result, but because of a sudden "variable" brought about a dramatic reversal and ending , so much so that the search team of nearly 10,000 people in the "Viper Cross" can only stare at the impenetrable defense of the temple...

When leaving this battlefield and turning their attention to Efta, everything here seems to be gradually getting on the "right track".

Knowing that his body is weak, the Duke of Angmar is trying to squeeze the last energy of his body, making blueprints and plans for the future of his family and territory.

In Sodlore's "Parland", the caravan formed by Henry began to infiltrate the area outside Efta for the first time, while the knights of the cavalry regiment were still on "vacation".

In the Forest of Quiet Whispers, the construction of the wood elf village is in full swing. Nata is gritting her teeth to complete the 800 arrows she reserved for training, while the village chief Brody is receiving the arrival from Zara Village with a serious face... Another village chief.

"I've probably emptied the things in the ruins of Wagra, why are you bringing it up?"

"Brudy, my village has encountered some difficulties. Maybe the books that once belonged to the high elves can help..."

Village Chief Ted, who is twenty years younger than Brody, whispered, "I... hope you can help my village."

"Are you looking for books? I don't understand those things, so I gave them away."

The guy in front of him once made a sarcasm about himself a month ago, so Brody didn't have a good look at him at all, he just threw out this sentence stiffly and stood up—

"Do you want me to take you out? This villa was built by humans. If you can't open the door, I can teach you."
