Chapter 414 Encountering Beastmen

August 20th.

With the help of Camilla, Rody finally found two books about "Solomon" in the library, but after reading, Roddy felt that the contents were a bit weird: the high elves seemed to avoid the name "Solomon", and really mentioned the book "Solomon". Counting the number of times his name is tabooed, most of the time, "Solomon" is referred to as "that person" or "he" in these two books.

In rigorous classics and historical books, this situation is rare. Luo Di understands that there must be a demon when things go wrong, but after searching, he can't find any other useful information except for the words "Solomon has made outstanding contributions to the study of elemental spells", as if "Solomon" is really just Just an insignificant little person.

If he didn't know the copy of "King Solomon's Treasure", Rody might have decided on it, but he knew very well... The fact is probably the complete opposite of the "understatement" in the history books: Solomon in memory has almost the same status in the hearts of mage players as card players. Degas on an equal footing!

But because the high elves believe that the status of "arcana" is much higher than that of "elements", no one has ever mentioned them side by side in the history books. It wasn't until the copy of "King Solomon's Treasure" was discovered that the elementalist's reputation suddenly soared among players.

He couldn't figure out why the high elves ignored Solomon so much, but since he couldn't find any more information, Rody didn't intend to stay here to waste time--at noon on the twentieth, he was in a meeting with Nephi and Camilla After bidding farewell, he rode the Kodak back to the Silent Whispering Forest.

The high-altitude journey was very boring, so Rody simply opened the panel and observed his current attributes.

After the battle in Houlier City, he allocated all the experience points to the "advanced level", and the massive experience given by the epic task made the "witch hunter" rise from level 8 to level 10 -- so Roddy He also has the qualification to "open the second advanced profession", and also obtains a new "combat posture" and "professional skills".

Skill: "Magic Hunting Vision"

Use: Consume 30% mana to open the unique vision of the witcher. The effect lasts for one minute and has a five-minute cooldown.

Combat Stance: "Elemental Offset".

Enabled: The damage and effects of spells generated by magic crystals are reduced by 40%.

Powerful skills plus the assistance of one more fighting posture often represent a leap in player strength. But the improvement brought about by this upgrade made Roddy not very satisfied...

After turning on the "Vision of Hunting Demons", everything around seems to be the same, but slightly blurred. And the fighting stance of "Element Offset" is obviously used to resist the attack of monsters,

The practicability is very low. If you are facing enemies such as orcs or undead, this fighting stance is useless.

And counting the two mediocre skills of "Fury" and "Pacify the Demon Pet" before, Roddy even began to doubt whether his profession could still be called "imba".

However, complaints are complaints. Compared with advanced level 10 rangers, the power of "Demon Hunter" is still undisputed.

After several hours of flying, Rody, who arrived in Elsa Village, started the final mobilization before departure as planned--Sodelor and more than 90 soldiers and engineers who accompanied him were already in place, with cold-proof clothes, high Calorie food and all kinds of potions, scrolls, and weapons are all ready.

This expedition consumed all the wealth that Rody had accumulated in the past half a year. Although it cannot be called a waste of money, this kind of "expedition" to an unknown area still made Sodlor, who is the commander of the legion, a little worried. Hanging the weapon on the saddle, he asked, "Is it really okay to suddenly decide to go to such a far place?"

"This time it's an 'expedition', but it's actually more appropriate to call it 'land reclamation'."

Rody took out a stack of scrolls and handed them to Soderol: "Now you are the commander of the legion. This is the 'Battle Plan'. I have indicated all the issues about the environment and danger. If you have no questions, So from now on, I will not overstep my authority in order to use this army."

"Is this...really going to be like this?"

Soderol has never heard of a "plan" before a war, and he is not used to this "dedicated person" management method--but looking at Roddy's expression, he also knew that it was useless to say that he had to He took the parchment and looked through it carefully.

"By the way, I will give you the newly made equipment, which will be useful this time."

Rody casually tossed him a large bag wrapped in cloth. Soderol opened it, and his calm expression suddenly petrified—he pointed to the keel shield in his pocket, and said in surprise: "Here , Give, give me use?"

"Tailor-made, take it."

Rody patted Soderol on the shoulder, and asked the soldiers on the side to move the larger Nokia, which was already level 18, onto the carriage. Arrows were replaced in her quiver.

"These arrows have relatively high lethality and have some freezing effects. Get familiarized with them when you have time, and then bring them with you."

He looked down at the arrows that Nata had adjusted in his hand, and commented: "It's much better than before, keep working hard."

"Um."

Seeing how this "mentor" bowed to him, Rody twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally swallowed some words.

"Roddy, I think...the chest seems to be a little tight."

Akasha walked over with her luggage on her back, and she put on the excellent combat robe that Rody bought with the "Rose Cross" reputation—but because her figure was too plump, the little priest stretched out his hand and pulled at the neckline, with a frowning face.

"Then you try unbuttoning it?"

"…It can only be this way."

After Akasha did so, when he raised his head, he found that his eyes were a little straight. The little priest looked down a little strangely, and then realized that the gully on his chest was just exposed in front of Roddy, and hurriedly covered it with his cloak in shame. --

"Hate!"

Roddy smirked a few times, helped her get on the horse, and then turned around and gestured to Soderol.

"Let's go!"

The team of ninety-five people immediately started marching, embarking on the journey to the other side of the border.

September 20th.

The turmoil caused by the plague has gradually subsided in the territory, and Houllier City has basically returned to its former prosperity. The residual heat at the end of summer has gradually faded away. When the weather gradually cools down, it means that it is the busy farming season again.

Efta has not suffered from drought or flood this year, so the grain harvest is not bad. After paying the taxes and fees this autumn, the farmers will sell the excess grain... This is one of the few times in a year for them A time when extra wealth can be reaped.

However, these people living at the bottom of society gradually discovered a problem in the process of selling: the demand for food in the territory this year seems to be much higher than in previous years.

What made them even more surprised was that the Parling Trading Company began to open shops everywhere in the territory--these shops that use a unified "logo", "name" and even decoration methods, in addition to selling ordinary daily necessities, they all use "firewood" "As the main commodity, it is placed in the most conspicuous position.

"It's only September, and it's still very early in December! What are you doing selling firewood?"

Almost all the onlookers raised similar questions, and the guys in the store obviously didn't know why the superiors ordered them to do this... In short, the firewood was not sold, and the stupid behavior of "Palling Firm" was spread all over the world. Territory has become a topic of conversation after dinner.

But when they laughed, they didn't know that the one who secretly supported this move was the newly succeeded Duchess Sally in the territory.

In the Duke's mansion, the young Sally was writing the decree quickly, and the sound of the quill brushing across the paper never stopped.

"Try to keep the purchase of grain as calm as possible, and don't let other nobles feel a sense of crisis."

"The trade volume of Elsa Village has doubled compared to last month. They have sold those special products to seven or eight other territories. I can't help them far away. Send these letters to other dioceses and fight for them. It will help Henry walk more steadily before winter comes."

Sally wrote down the names of several diocesan bishops with a calm face, and then handed the letter paper to John.

As an aristocrat, the young Sally's prestige was not enough to influence those lords in other territories, but in the "Rose Cross", the nickname "White Sickle" had already spread to all the dioceses of the Karen Kingdom. So the only thing she can do to help Rody is to lay a good foundation in the sect.

The trade started by Elsa Village is only the first step--to be honest, what such a small village can produce is not enough to spread to the whole country to sell money, and the only purpose of the caravan going out now is to seek wealth in those unfamiliar areas. Get a "sense of presence".

The business plan is a long way off, but Sally is confident about it. After putting down the quill, an urgent letter suddenly came from outside the study.

"What's up?"

"Information has just been sent from the border. A team of scouts has discovered and wiped out a team of orcs."

"Orcs?"

Sally's nerves tensed instantly, she stood up and asked, "What day happened?"

"It happened yesterday, and the news just arrived here." John handed over the crumpled letter paper, and Sally took it. After reading it carefully, her frowning brows slowly relaxed a little.

"Father's early warning finally came in handy."

She put down the letter paper, frowned and analyzed: "The scout team eliminated only five orcs, and the report said that the other party's image was very embarrassing, and they didn't even have any combat capabilities... Then, what caused them to come to the border?"

"I remember that their hinterland is three to four hundred kilometers away from the border."

Sally couldn't think of the reason for a while, but remembering what Rody said, she still ordered: "Send all the information on the border to Elson City at the same time."

The Duchess narrowed her eyes slightly and looked out the window.

"I want to hear what the staff member has to say."
