Chapter 395 Waiting for You for a Long Time

Three kilometers west of Holy City.

As the capital of the territory, Houllier is not only the most prosperous city, but the surrounding villages are also much denser than other areas. Lax Village, which is not far from the west city gate, is located at the upper reaches of the river that flows outside the city of Houllier.

The village has a population of more than four hundred, with well-organized fields and rotating windmills. Farmers walk by in twos and threes on the country roads. In the hot summer, everything seems to be normal.

And in this peaceful village, three guys in gray robes were in a wooden house, waiting respectfully for the reply from their boss, Wen Buske.

Few people wear robes in summer, but the four people in this room are all tightly covered. Their faces are pale, their eyes look a little hollow, and their voices are even hoarse:

"So... the target will arrive in Houlier City tomorrow?"

"Yes, Lord Wenbusker, and according to the informant's report, the Duke's daughter even specially prepared a welcome ceremony for him."

"Heh... the welcome ceremony." Wembsk raised his gaze, and twirled the staff in his hand with his fingers, "It saves the team a trip to Elson City."

The speaking pharmacist, Wembske, spoke in a very indifferent tone, as if in his eyes, the tasks of "destroying Roddy" and "destroying Houllier City" were not difficult at all - of course, he did have the capital to think so at this time : The Tasman Kingdom has studied the plague for more than ten years, and its power is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

As for "destroying Rody", it was his mission to avenge Magda, Bellom and others following the orders of the parliament.

Wembsk is not Augustine's man, he belongs to the Tasman noble council. In terms of political background, he is different from the undead who entered the Karen Kingdom before, so Wen Buske's understanding of Rody is only limited to the stage of "Scout Captain", and he doesn't take him seriously at all.

"My lord, do you need to bring that Duke of Angmar together..."

"Thomas, do you know what is the most painful thing for an old man?"

"Angmar has half a foot in the coffin, but he pinned all his hopes on his daughter -- so if he just watched his daughter die in front of him... Heh, this is the most painful thing for him .”

Wembske narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth: "The loss they have brought to Tasman, the parliament will definitely make it doubled."

"Long live the Tasman"

"Long live the Tasman"

The slogans of the group of undead echoed in the room, while Wen Buske stood up slowly, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart and said: "Get ready to act, let us witness the arrival of a new era..."

The next day, Efta was sunny and clear.

Looking at Houlier City that appeared in the field of vision, Rody remembered the undead Magda who had fought here, and asked casually, "Akasha, how does it feel to control the undead?"

"It's not very clear. It's like you are manipulating your fingers. You don't have to think about it deliberately. Those instructions will be executed by the soldiers. But I can only give some vague orders, if they are too specific , would give me a...a little headache.”

Akasha answered Rody's question very seriously, and then asked with some concern: "Is it rare for me to be like this? A priest can control the undead..."

"It's rare, but it's not difficult to understand," Rody pointed in the direction of the Silent Whispering Forest. "Even the dragons have been lost by us. What rare things are there in this world?"

Akasha knew that he was telling herself not to think too much, and with a warm heart, she replied with a smile: "Actually, I have been thinking about these issues. I checked a lot of documents in Elson's library, and tried... to understand it. The principle of manipulating the undead."

Such an answer surprised Rody, but he quickly remembered that the meek little priest next to him actually had the potential to be a "student master", and his memory and ability to comprehend by analogy were absolutely powerful -- he was also a little curious: "How is it? Can you control the undead?"

"How do I know? Erson, who doesn't have free will, asked me to experiment."

Akasha stretched out her hand and made a grimace at the corner of her eyes: "Besides, I don't want to be an ugly necromancer."

Roddy laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to pinch her soft cheeks. The two of them rode on the road and romped, attracting the attention of the farmers and caravans along the way.

The distance from Houlier City Gate is not far away. After entering the city, the familiar buildings around made both of them feel a little bit emotional: Akasha was still a wanted pagan when she left here last time, but now looking at the monastery, There is no longer any fear in my heart.

Rody recalled the events that happened in this city: the siege in front of the monastery, the melee in the square, the ballista bombardment of Magda, etc., and the misunderstanding with Sally...

Misunderstand…

The memories came to an abrupt end, because when thinking of "Sally", Rody's originally smooth breathing suddenly became a little stagnant, and the smile on his face gradually faded

"Roddy?"

"Um?"

"There's a team ahead that looks like it's blocking the way."

Akasha pointed to the front, and Rody looked along, only to find that there was a "typical" noble team blocking the way on the narrow road in front of him.

The so-called "typical" refers to the unique ostentation of young nobles in this era when they take to the streets...

A top with gorgeous embroidery, exquisite belt, leather boots and breeches, a sword with intricate patterns hanging on his waist, and a tall horse with a pure blood, this kind of outfit almost engraved the word "nobility" on his face.

The six followers around them were all dressed in uniform leather armor. As they advanced, they pushed aside the passers-by who were too late to dodge.

Rody looked at the family emblem on the side of the other party's saddle, and explained to Akasha: "This is the emblem of the Winston family. If I remember correctly, it should be the lord family of the Pahainar Territory—this family is relatively rich. Playboys and playboys."

"Pahainar? It's a little far away from here, what are you doing here?"

"How would I know, take it easy."

Rody shrugged, looked around, and found that there seemed to be another noble's entourage not far away, and the other's family was not from Efta either.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

The two continued to walk forward, but Roddy saw an old tailor coughing violently by the roadside—but there was nothing strange about it. He turned his gaze, and immediately saw an aristocratic attendant standing in front of him.

"Go your way, mercenary"

The other party stopped Rody and Akasha unceremoniously, with a very blunt tone.

"I am Baron Roddy of Efta, soldier, what right do you have to block my way?"

Rody was not interested in paying attention to such a small role. He flicked the rein with a sullen face, and walked straight forward, almost knocking the opponent away——Akasha followed, wanting to laugh, but tried hard not to laugh out loud Lai: This is the first time she has seen Rody put on the "nobility" airs in front of others, and it feels quite fresh.

At this time, the nobleman in front turned his head, looked at Luo Di and said, "Baron? Sorry, I have never seen any nobleman who would dress like a mercenary."

"So now you see."

Rody wasn't interested in talking nonsense, and after passing by him, he was ready to move on—this behavior made Earl Winston, who was dressed in anger, raised his eyebrows slightly. He squinted at Rody, and said bluntly: "You want to Pursuing the Hollier Pearl? With this image, you really are like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"What pearl?"

After asking the words, Rody quickly realized: "You mean... Sally?"

Seeing the other party's tacit appearance, Rody immediately cleared his mind, but then he felt a little funny: Even if Sally really wanted to "ask for marriage", how could she find such a dude like you?

However, there is no choice in "marriage of nobles" - thinking of this, Rody frowned, and before he asked anything, he heard the other party continue: "Baron Rody, have you just returned from the forest? There are a lot of loot, if the family is poor, I would be willing to pay you a high price for these goods. Next time you go out, bring a few more attendants to help you carry things, don't let the maid follow you and suffer."

"Tsk, your ax and bow look pretty good, do you want to sell them?"

The earl, who had only been in Houlier City for a few days, obviously felt that he was "superior". When he saw Roddy wearing a leather armor, he thought he was a run-down nobleman. At the end, he pointed to the "Purification Blade": "You kind Swords are only used by women. If you are interested, I can teach you swordsmanship, and in Pahainar, my swordsmanship can be ranked well."

"Troubleshoot, no need."

Although Rody didn't fight with the opponent, he also knew that the opponent's level could only be crushed by himself, so he directly shook the rein, accelerated forward and left

But after walking a few steps, he and Akasha found that both sides of the street were cleared, and two rows of family guards were standing on both sides with ceremonial spears...

However, this scene caused Earl Winston next to him to show a little "successful" smile. He let the horse speed up two steps, and after leveling with Roddy, he waved: "The Luciferon family is still wise, this... Baron Roddy, Please let me go, maybe in the near future, you will call me the lord, maybe."

These words are obviously taking advantage of Sally, even though she has "broke up" with Sally, but Luo Di still has the urge to take the ax when he hears this dude talking nonsense...

"Roddy."

Seeing that Rody's expression was very bad, Akasha stretched out her hand to grab his arm, and Rody's eyes also retracted. However, when he looked up, he found that at the end of the street, there was a man in white. The figure in the dress was standing there quietly, staring at him... beside him.

"Master Rody is always welcome in Hollier City, Miss Sally has been waiting for you for a long time."

The young butler of the Duke's Mansion came over to explain the arrangements for the welcome ceremony, and then said to the puzzled Winston: "My lord, Miss Sally has something to do today, and I don't have time to spare."

"Is there something? Just to see him?"

Winston, who was like a peacock spreading its tail, watched Rody continue to move forward, his expression extremely funny for a while.
