348.Chapter 348: It's Too Late

The Purifying Blade is more of a dagger than a short sword, and is clearly more suitable for solo or assassination than the heavy and massive "Blood Drinker" battle axe - it has a faster attack speed and more flexible use... and a higher "critical strike chance".

Although it doesn't have a lot of attack power, it's a suitable weapon for itself. Being able to send something like this, Rubens's attitude, Roddy knows it.

The "Ring of Forgiveness" was casually placed on his middle finger, and the dagger was sheathed around his waist, and when Roddy looked away from the panel, he found that Lucy and Quentin were not far from him, looking at him a little nervously - he smiled and nodded, as if he said hello, but did not say anything more.

After all, he didn't have a "good teacher" side, there were a lot of things to be busy at this time, and Roddy was not interested in educating these juniors, so he walked towards the lords who had always supported the Roussiflon family, and it was natural to talk.

"Lord Duke is not feeling well, so let's go and rest first, but there are some things I want to talk to you about, including the trade in goods of the Wood Elves..."

"Elson City is a well-preserved High Elf city, and it's located in the southwest of the territory..."

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

"Of course, I'm more welcome for mages to study books wherever they go, there are six libraries full of Olympiad books in the city, and a lot of related documents..."

"What does the 'Time Stand Still Enchantment' do?

Elson City is an empty city, if you want to have enough residents and revive the economy, the first thing you need is the population, similar to the saying "if you want to get rich first build roads" Although there are limitations, it is still more reliable to put it on Elson City, after all, its location is too remote, and there are many dangerous monsters in the outer forests, although it is an expansion of the territory for the kingdom, but if there is no one, all of Roddy's plans can only be in the air, and it is impossible to achieve.

So at this time, his behavior can probably be called "attracting investment": hanging the appetite of the lords, and then leaving the matter to a business-savvy guy like Henry to deal with, Roddy's words quickly made the lords who were originally in a heavy mood pricked up their ears, and they listened to Roddy promise generous conditions to these five lords, not to say anything, but in fact they were all envious in their hearts...

But there was a price to pay for the wrong team, and they didn't expect Roddy to take it seriously - but unexpectedly, Roddy soon announced that the "Elsa Village" would gradually open to everyone, and Elson City welcomed all caravans willing to fund and trade.

If you hit a dozen sticks, you must remember to give a few sweet dates. Roddy understands that he can't always oppress these nobles, and although he doesn't agree with the aristocratic values of "profit first", it doesn't mean that he has to blindly hate each other... Using the other party's greed to add bricks to himself, Roddy is naturally happy to see it.

As Roddy released the news one by one, the nobles who were on a rollercoaster ride finally breathed a sigh of relief - although this banquet was like a nightmare, it did not throw them all into the abyss, and although the final result could not be called "happy for all", it could be said that the most acute contradiction between the nobles and Angmar was completely resolved.

Roddy has a large number of potential future business partners, the Duke is no longer targeted by many enemies, and the nobles have a new goal—which is more than enough for the already unstable Evta.

The dance music was still playing, but there was no need for Roddy to stay here, and he left the meeting hall and went straight to the Duke's mansion, and after asking John a few words to the butler, he went into Angmar's study.

Although his body is weak, the Duke has been waiting for Roddy - after countless incidents, he has come to see Roddy as an indispensable "pillar" of the territory. And every time he sees this young junior, he always secretly sighs at the son who has taken the wrong path...

Not to mention skills, if Francis could have half of Roddy's consciousness, he would not be a reviled traitor!

Roddy 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 pulls me to talk about a lot of things, as if the 'Temple' cares a lot about the loss of the undead?"

"No, it's you who care—you don't know, besides Nova that three or four bishops have tried to pull you into their diocese, and have promised all sorts of benefits for it..."

"What is this for? I don't think they can do anything but kill people, do they?"

Luo Di didn't expect such a thing, and he was very surprised.

"To put it bluntly, I want you to kill people. The Rosicrucians are carrying out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the infidels in the Brill Forest, and after the various dioceses have sent people, it is natural that there is some intention to compete for the limelight in it... However, looking at this time, the encirclement and suppression of the 'Pit Viper Cross' should be coming to an end. ”

The duke's tone was casual, but Roddy's expression froze... This was the third time he had heard about sectarian warfare, but it was only then that he realized that the encirclement and suppression of the "Rosicrucifixion" did not seem to be a small fight as he imagined.

"Wait... How many people did the church send out this time? 500?"

"Far more than that, it seems that nearly 10,000 manpower has been invested in the early and late stages, and it is said that more than 2,000 infidels have been executed, and now they are looking for a chance to fight a decisive battle..."

"It's not wrong, it's definitely wrong. ”

The words that Nata had spoken to herself echoed in his ears, such as "Viper Scepter", "Bishop Goethe", "Dig a Pit", etc., and made Roddy immediately realize that those infidels... It seems that a huge conspiracy is brewing!

This is by no means a child's play made up, and the behavior of the "Rossicrucian" at this time is tantamount to stepping into the enemy's trap.

Thinking of this, Roddy immediately told the news he had learned, and said in a deep voice, "This matter must be immediately notified to the 'Temple' so that they can change their plans,"

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the study seemed to freeze instantly, and Duke Angmar's face showed a little disbelief, he took a deep breath, and then muttered in a trembling voice: "What did you say... Is it true?"

Angmar didn't disbelieve Roddy's words, and the rhetorical question at this time seemed to be just the last trace of luck left in his heart - but seeing Roddy's expression, he understood... The situation was beyond his imagination.

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

Roddy didn't talk nonsense, got up and was about to go out, but after taking two steps, he was stopped by Angmar - when he turned around, Roddy suddenly noticed that the duke's state was very wrong, he hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the other party, and pulled the wooden chair over with the other hand - Angmar's face was pale, and his mouth was open and wanted to speak, Roddy didn't think much about it, and leaned his ear over...

"Sally, Sally was part of the operation, she's in Brill Forest right now..."

"Kara!"

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

"It takes four days for carrier pigeons to deliver the news to the temple at the earliest, but this kind of news... It takes at least two weeks from the time it is accepted to the time the team responds..."

At this point, the old man's voice was already trembling undisguisedly: "But Rubens told me that they would have a decisive battle in a week..."

Roddy didn't know why Sally didn't stay in the "Temple" to study and instead ran to fight the infidels, he only knew that Sally seemed to be about to fall into the enemy's trap right now.

The panic in his heart made Roddy's eyes a little distracted, but then he regained his senses after a few deep breaths - his gaze, which had lost focus, was extremely sharp in an instant, and he got up, but shouted at the outside of the house, "John!

He gently helped Angmar to the chair, and then found that the duke's face was pale from palpitations, and his lips were purple, obviously his heart was very uncomfortable - the butler rushed in after hearing his shout, but heard Roddy order loudly: "Go outside and call Bishop Nova in, the duke needs divine healing!"

After a pause, Roddy added: "Tell the bishop that I have something to talk to him about, don't mention the duke's condition!"

Angmar waved John to listen to Roddy, who hurriedly nodded and rushed out of the study—and then, while reaching out to caress the duke's back, he immediately said in a voice: "There is still a week before the decisive battle, and it is not clear whether the enemy's trap is true or strong, we still have a chance..."

This sounded completely "psychological comfort" to the Duke, but Roddy didn't just talk nonsense, he went on to say: "I now have the 'priest' treatment recognized by the Church, and when I arrive at the 'Temple', I can immediately go to the Overseer and influence their decision-making as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, Bishop Nova had already rushed in under the leadership of the butler, and after releasing the healing magic, Roddy looked at Angmar, whose face had recovered slightly, and just said "I'll leave now", and then no longer had any explanation, turned around and rushed out...

The frail Angmar watched him disappear from view, but there was no hope in her heart at all - even though Roddy had worked miracles again and again, it was 1,700 kilometers from here to the "Sanctuary of the Rosicrucise", and more than 1,500 kilometers to the "Brill Forest", and the road in between was extremely complicated and difficult to navigate, and it would take more than half a month to reach it even if he always rode a fast horse...

So what if Roddy could see the Exgere, and what if he could influence decision-making? By the time he got there, I'm afraid the war would have been over!
