152.Chapter 152: Not What You Think!
“... What the hell is going on? Magda, what about Wellington, why are you still here?"
Roddy asked four questions in a row, but then found that Sally, who was holding himself down, didn't even answer half a sentence, just whimpered in a low voice - this scene made Roddy instantly think of a possibility, and asked with an ugly face: "What about the Duke of Angmar? he won't..."
"Father... Father is waiting for you downstairs, he's okay, we're all okay, the undead ran away, and now the whole city is hunting him. ”
Sally's voice, which had not slept all night, was a little hoarse, but the words she said made Roddy breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, she was lying on Luo Di, although there was a smell of sweat between her noses, but this did not make her feel a little disgusted, but she only felt that her heart was always hanging, and she finally let go at this time.
She wanted to say something, but all that was left was a choked snort - and there was such a reaction because Sally was frightened.
Yesterday she and her father happened to see Roddy and Magda fighting on the bell tower, and because they were far away, they didn't know exactly what was going on. However, when the eight crossbow arrows brought up a huge amount of smoke and dust, she realized that the development of the situation in front of her was far beyond imagination.
Martin went to check, but the news that could be reported made Sally feel like the world was spinning: Roddy was seriously injured and unconscious, and the enemy was badly injured and fled!
In such a situation, the Duke of Angmar immediately gave up the escape plan, took over the control directly, and immediately ordered to save Roddy with all his might, and then began to mobilize the entire city to use the army to pursue the fleeing assassin - and when Sally rushed to the bottom of the bell tower like crazy, she only saw Roddy lying almost silently in a pool of blood...
This scene made Sally's head "buzz" and almost fell off the horse!
If it weren't for seeing Rubens, with Titus's support, gritting his teeth and casting magic spells on Roddy to save him, I'm afraid Sally would have cried and pounced.
Rao is so, the unconscious Roddy still makes Sally's heart extremely panicked, she directly asked Martin to take Roddy back to the Duke's palace in a carriage, and did not greet the two bosses Rubens and Benjamin at all, and sat on the edge of the bed almost without eating or drinking until now.
At this time, looking at Roddy's appearance of being haunted by nightmares and covered in cold sweat, Sally only felt very distressed, but she didn't know how to ask. When she reacted that she had pressed Roddy down on the bed, although she was ashamed all of a sudden, she somehow gritted her teeth and couldn't get up...
The bedroom was silent, except for the breathing of two people.
Roddy stared at the ceiling above his head with straight eyes, and all he could smell was Sally's body fragrance between his noses, and his chest was squeezed by two soft things, and he was a little out of breath. He lay there stunned for a few seconds, wondering if Magda would retaliate, and then felt that such a guy who couldn't even hold a weapon was basically abolished at this time, and his heart was relieved.
"It's okay, it's okay. By the way, a wound in my chest?"
"Lord Overseer has used high-level magic skills, and the wound should be healed, but he said that you have lost too much blood and may need to rest for a few more days..."
Hearing Roddy ask about the wound, Sally finally bowed her head and left his embrace, but instead of going back to her chair, she knelt on the bed, almost snuggling up to Roddy's side.
Her face was so red that when Roddy sat up again, he only felt that the beautiful goose egg face was red as an apple - but he didn't care to sigh how beautiful this girl was, and reached out to tear off his pajamas that he didn't know who had changed into them, and looked down, and unsurprisingly saw a faint red mark.
Reaching out and touching it, the originally open flesh didn't feel any pain at all.
The chaotic mood gradually subsided, and the feeling of fatigue came up, he looked up at the sun, roughly confirmed the time, and when he turned his head, he suddenly found that Sally's cheek was almost against himself...
Because of the "fluttering" just now, this Nizi's hair looks messy and abnormal, her red fluttering face is slightly lowered, and her robe is twisted and crooked--but that's it, Roddy inexplicably feels that the girl in front of her is a little dazzling.
Sally lowered her eyes, knowing that she was a little too close to Roddy, but she didn't mean to dodge and retreat, but tried to maintain her composure, and asked in a low voice, "Just now... Is it a nightmare?"
"Yes. ”
"I heard what you said..."
Sally still lowered her head, but her eyes glanced at Roddy cautiously, and when she saw him frowning slightly, her heart was even more worried, but what she wanted to say was stuck in her throat, for fear of making this guy feel worse.
Roddy frowned, trying to remember what he had said in his dream, but then he suddenly heard footsteps coming from beside him, turned his head to look, and saw that the maid of the Duke's palace named Julie was staring at the two people in front of him with wide eyes, and couldn't speak with her mouth open.
Also, the lonely man and widow are sitting on the bed, Sally's hair is messy and her clothes are wrinkled, Roddy is even more sweaty, and the clothes on her chest are torn off, this scene is anyone's watch...
"Little... Sister, I-I'll come back later, I didn't see anything-"
Julie turned around and walked out, Roddy, who was sitting on the bed, was stunned for a moment, didn't understand what was going on at all, and when she looked at Sally suspiciously, she felt that this Nizi's face was red and about to drip blood...
"Julie!
She rolled over and jumped out of bed, and when she walked to the door, she didn't forget to turn around and say, "I... I'll call the servant to help you change your clothes!"
Although she was trying to restrain her emotions, Sally's voice was still a little trembling, and she rushed out of the bedroom and closed the door with a "clang", seeing Julie looking at her at a loss, her face suddenly became more and more rosy.
"Roddy just woke up, go tell my father, just now... We were just talking... He... That-" She searched for a long time, but in the end she stomped her foot hard, "It's not what you think!"
At this time, she could only pretend to be an ostrich to vague the question, and after rushing back to her bedroom like a mad run, Sally threw herself on her bed and buried her face deep in the pillow.
"Bastard! I haven't asked you yet... Who the hell is Nefi!?"
While Sally was extremely resentful of Roddy's "dream words", the pale Roddy had already sat on the desk in this guest bedroom after a simple wash, looking at a copy of "The Biography of Froode" on the table in a daze.
The sequelae of excessive blood loss always existed, and although the wound healed, the head was dizzy when walking a little at this time. However, this dizziness did not prevent him from thinking, and sitting here for a few minutes, Roddy also had a basic idea of his gains and losses in this battle:
The short bow was gone, and the weapon that was quite handy was directly cut in half by Magda's hand.
The breastplate of the leather armor was badly damaged, and even if it was repaired, I am afraid that the item level would drop a notch - the opening cut by Magda's dagger looked shocking, and thanks to it, Roddy's chest was not cut directly.
[Moloqi's Blessing] was consumed, and a dazzling hole card was thrown away.
It was a heavy loss, but fortunately there were no casualties among his scouts, and the few who died were from the Duke's palace and the monastery - and when it came to the harvest, Roddy was not very satisfied.
[Molochi's Blessing] brings the effect of "Rosiccross" reputation permanently increased by 1000, but it is still far from the reputation threshold of [Reverence].
[Stop Ansardine's Conspiracy 3/3 (Completed)] brings a full 35,000 experience, but now that his advanced career tasks have not yet been completed, these experiences can only be kept for waiting to be used for upgrades.
Just looking at these rewards, no matter how you think about it, it's a loss.
Therefore, the only thing that Roddy can count on now to "return to his roots" is the "reward" that Rubens and Angmar can give him. Speaking of taking such a big risk, if there is one thing that satisfies him the most, it is that the "friendship" between him and these two old men can be called "life and death".
Rubens harvested a pile of corpses of the undead and the head of the little boss Deby, a feat that would probably be immediately noticeable in the "Temple". Once again, Angmar survived the life-and-death crisis safely - Roddy knew what it meant for the undead to be destroyed... With an injury as serious as Magda's, I'm afraid it won't be a year and a half to recover at all, and it's more likely that this guy will have to go back to Tasman and sleep for decades to recover, unless...
Roddy thought of a possibility, but was ready to find a chance to talk to Angmar alone.
His mind was now free of the ambiguity of the bedroom just now, completely overwhelmed by the boundless sense of urgency - he needed to become stronger: neither personally nor as a force, could not delay for a moment.
Orcs, undead, infidels, these are all visible threats at the moment, and in the face of this group of foreign enemies, Roddy now finds that he has no room to defend himself - because he has no place in this land!
Now, he has made some friendships with the Duke and the Overseer by relying on a few things of "petty fighting", although it sounds like he has a worry-free future, but if he really wants to realize the dream of saving this country, it is simply too bad - soldiers, food, land, money, eyeliner, political status, timber, minerals, equipment, and so on, and so on.
When the catastrophe happens, you can pin your hopes on the aristocratic parties of the kingdom who only care about squeezing out each other? Because Roddy's impression of these nobles can be summed up in one sentence: "Infighting is the leader, and there is no bone to resist the enemy." ”
Kill all the soft bones of the party that led the way, and integrate the power of the aristocracy to unite with the outside world... This kind of thinking can only be regarded as an unattainable "ideal". If he wants to break the trajectory of history, Roddy must rely on his own power and strength!
