Sally knew very well that if Roddy didn't want to say something, she probably wouldn't be able to ask no matter how hard she was, so she resisted the urge to ask "Who is Nephi", and instead avoided the topic: "You will return to the 'Temple' in a few days, where are you going next?"

"It should take a few days off, uh..."

Roddy wanted to say that he was going to take Nephie back to Elson, but when the words came to his lips, he reacted that saying this was pure death, so he changed his words and said, "Stay here with you for a while, can you show me the view of the temple?"

Sally blinked, thinking for a moment that she had misheard, but she quickly confirmed that it was not her hallucination, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she hummed, "You guys still have a moment to open their minds? Where did you learn these skills?"

Seeing Roddy's stunned and overwhelmed look, Sally pressed her eyebrows angrily: "Really, you don't understand a joke with you - I mean... For your sake, I'm sure I'll take you around the temple for your sake. ”

"That's good. ”

Roddy glanced at Sally, but her gaze pulled down because of her thin gauze dress - this small movement was noticed by Sally, she followed Roddy's gaze and looked down at her chest, and suddenly remembered the fact that she was not wearing underwear, and her originally white cheeks suddenly turned red like an apple...

"Stupid!

She stretched out her hand to cover her chest, turned her gaze to the side, and said angrily: "I'm not afraid that I will go to the temple to complain and drag you to the stake and burn you..."

Having said that, Sally found that she didn't have much resistance at this time, but had an inexplicable urge after the shame welled up in her heart.

This guy, I've seen it all, I don't know how to express it?

"Ahem... I didn't mean to, that- I'll go back first. ”

Roddy thought that he would be a hooligan if he stayed here any longer, and hurriedly got up and left honestly. When he walked to the door, he met Nephi who was bouncing and running back, he didn't speak, just reached out to block the edges and corners of the wooden doorknob, smiled at Nefi, and then went back to his room in silence.

Such details were noticed by Sally, but she only thought that Roddy did this because of his usual caution, but she never thought that Roddy would have anything special to do with the innocent little Lori in front of her...

"Click. ”

After closing the door, Roddy's relaxed expression disappeared suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and sat down in the armchair, slowly unlocking the leather armor on his body.

After the already somewhat torn leather armor was thrown on the ground, Roddy's shirt, which was almost completely stained with blood, was now almost all over his body - Sally found only one of more wounds, because in the morning, Roddy was not just stopping a team of trackers...

The "Pit Viper Cross" attaches far more importance to the artifact scepter than Roddy imagined, and the act of killing Goethe and taking the scepter is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest - when Roddy realizes that he cannot dodge the pursuit behind him, he immediately uses the mobility of the duck to take the initiative to attack the enemy dozens of kilometers away, and successfully misleads the direction of the other party's search.

Although he came back alive with his strong strength, he paid a lot of price after all.

The bleeding wound was basically stopped by the "Intermediate Healing Technique", but after killing more than 70 enemies, 20 knights, and 3 Dark Herdsmen, the fatigue and pain in his body remained.

Locking the door, closing the window, and carrying the boiling hot water, Roddy began to wash the still painful wound with a towel. The muscles on his body are not very prominent, but have an extremely streamlined shape like a cheetah ready to go, but after countless battles, although there are divine skills and potions restored, he still has more than ten indelible scars on his body - from orcs, from the undead, from all kinds of enemies and even monsters...

There were no mirrors in the room, and Roddy didn't intend to look closely at the scars, he simply bandaged the strained muscles, then shaved his beard with a dagger, dried his hair, changed into a new cloth robe, and sat quietly in the armchair, exhaling slowly.

I don't want Nephie to experience any more war, and I don't want Sally to face these vicious enemies again - since she can't face emotional confusion, the only thing Roddy can do is silently take action... to protect all that is dear to him.

On May 11, when the second letter from the "Temple" arrived in the city of Houllier, the old duke, who had always been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Truth be told, Angmar was almost desperate about the situation these days - even though there were reports from all over the world that there were surviving troops of the Rosicrucius, the alarming high casualty ratio made the Duke feel dead. Militarily speaking, such a fiasco almost meant that the sect had regressed for several years, and that the changes it brought about would even affect the entire kingdom and even a few small surrounding countries.

Countless negative rumors are rampant, those who persuaded the Duke to give up funding the "Rosace Cross", those who have begun to quietly inquire about the news of the "Viper Cross", and those who are watching from the wall, the posture shown by the nobles of the territory has made Angmar sigh countless times, and in the midst of such a contrarian trend, the news that Roddy "killed the enemy boss" and "saved Sally" was like a thunderbolt, making the territory silent in an instant.

Even though he had seen the miracles that Roddy had created, the facts in front of him still made Angmar feel incomprehensible... Because just a day ago, he was doubting that Roddy would be able to make it to Brill Forest before the end of the month.

Rubens the letterhead with the seal of the "cardinal", and Angmar knows that the overseer is now truly "in a high position" - and Rubens, while telling the truth about the war, bluntly says that the greatest credit for his position as "cardinal" comes from Roddy's decisive decision in this battle.

If it weren't for him, the outcome of this battle and Sally's fate would have gone to the other extreme entirely.

At last the dust settled, and although the Duke, who had lost much weight, was in a calm mood, his health had deteriorated several times because of the exertion of the past few days. At this time, he shifted his body and whispered, "Roddy... City Elson, Baron..."

The quill scratched a few words on the paper, but just as he pulled out a new piece of parchment/and was about to write down the letter, a violent cough interrupted his otherwise clear train of thought.

The duke's back was arched hard, but it could not relieve the pain in his chest as if it had been torn, and John's butler hurried over to gently caress Angmar's back, and immediately arranged for the servant to go to the monastery to find the magician.

"Ahem... Eventually... I still can't hold it anymore. ”

Angmar took a few deep breaths, but her right hand, which had just covered her mouth, was stained with bright red blood at some point.

"Old... Sir, the magician will be here soon. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, don't panic. Angmar waved his hand: "People will die eventually, no one can change this, but it will be sooner or later." ”

He took the wet towel handed by the servant, and wiped the blood from the palm of his hand and the corner of his mouth very indifferently: "What should come will come, just get ready, what's so scary?"

Shaking her head, Angmar raised her hand and pointed to the table, "I'll dictate something, you can write it for me." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

John gracefully helped Angmar to sit down in the armchair next to him, while he sat down at his desk, picked up a quill, and gently sucked the ink.

"Well, what I'm going to talk about next is my will..."

Angmar reached out and stroked her slightly messy white hair, and said calmly.

May 12th.

For Sally and Nephi, the effects of the battle a few days ago seem to be fading away.

With the escort of the army, and there was no news of the enemy's pursuit from the rear, the tense nerves of the team members finally gradually relaxed, and when they were only half a day away from the temple, almost all of them had a look of "relief" - arriving here already meant that it was an absolute "safe zone".

In the past few days, Sally has consciously acted as Naifi's "parent", taking care of her daily life carefully, and even sleeping in the same bed with each other at night - although Sally feels very mature, she is only 17 years old after all, and 13-year-old Nephie is the age when she is curious about the whole world, so without the shadow of war, she soon became a friend who has nothing to say.

When Sally changes out of her robe and puts on the same dress as Neffield, she is completely like a pair of "sisters".

"Sister Sally, I'm a little homesick..."

Nephi said, pressing the corner of her skirt and sitting on a cart full of books.

"Mogra Village is still occupied by those infidels, and I'm afraid we really can't go back now," Sally on horseback pointed to the huge city that could already be seen in front of us, "The temple will arrange suitable accommodation for us, and when the village is safe, I'll send you back, okay?"

"But I'm afraid that my mother will come back during my absence from the village, so she won't be able to find me..."

Neffi showed a worried look, and Sally directly turned her gaze to Roddy, who was riding a horse and flipping through the books: "Roddy, you come and think of a way!"

In the past few days, it seems that because Roddy has cleaned up his appearance, little Lori's attitude towards him has become much better than before, but the so-called "good" is just simple politeness - at this time, Nefi doesn't seem to have the ghostly touch in Roddy's impression at all, giving people the feeling that she is a well-educated girl.

He put down the "Principles of Making Charged Crystals (Volume 1)" in his hand, raised his head and thought for a moment, and replied seriously: "Camilla, haven't you thought about taking the initiative to find your mother?"

"I... I don't know where my mom is..."

"But you can give me your mother's name, her physical features, or whatever other information, I have a lot of men, and I might be able to find it?"

Roddy knew that he couldn't directly say that Mrs. Camilla was in his own city, so he simply took such a "roundabout" way.

"Well, my mother's name is Camilla, and she said I looked like her, but my hair was chestnut. Naifi looked at Roddy with wide eyes, "Is this really okay?"

"Maybe, I'll try my best. ”

Roddy nodded, Sally wanted to laugh at that look of care, she pointed to the book in Roddy's hand: "You said you, what book do you want to read on the road... I can't read the words on it, so what else can you study?"

"It's just a matter of looking at it when I'm bored, and I prefer to study these kinds of things. ”

Roddy shrugged his shoulders, looking like he did "don't know how to pretend to understand", but in fact, a line of handwriting appeared in his field of vision-

"Mission accomplished. ”

"Gain a subclass: Hedron Setter. ”
