"What... What?"

Roddy looked at Brudi in a daze, and his head seemed to die in an instant - when the words "marriage partner" and "Nata" were merged together, a picture instinctively popped up in Roddy's mind: Nata in a white wedding dress in a dress in a dress in the midst of flowers and applause, standing in front of a bishop in a black robe and making vows...

He swallowed involuntarily, but shook his head and immediately expelled this image - it was only Nephie who was going to hold his hand, and Nata... For some reason, in Roddy's brain picture, she always looks like an iceberg mentor.

Her indifferent confession of tasks, her expressionless pointing and archery, her impatient and cold tone... These impressions have been deeply imprinted in the depths of Roddy's mind, and it is terrible to let yourself marry this Nata!

But it's also true that she kissed her in order to save her in the fight five days ago - what does it mean that Nata didn't cry or be colder to herself, but was still as calm as ever?

Although Roddy is not sure what Nata thinks, he can confirm that he is absolutely opposed to "marrying Nata".

"That's... I don't have any plans to get married, so don't think about me for now, I think Sodrore may be better, and there are so many nobles in Evta, and there are so many people to marry, I'll go and discuss it with the Duke of Angmar, this is easy to solve. ”

Seeing that Brudy seemed to want to say something, he quickly changed the topic - "Even if it's a marriage, I think it's better to wait until the situation in Evta stabilizes, and now it's more important to talk about those charged hedrons... Elson City is in dire need of these samples for research, and more importantly, there is an organization that is also looking for these things, and if they are targeted, it is actually very dangerous..."

"I don't need those stones, you just send someone to transport them, and all the books that can be moved from the ruins of Wagra have been transferred to me, but these books are too difficult, to be honest... I may not be able to read it in my life. ”

Rather than dwell on his marriage to Nata and Roddy, Brudi was rather distressed by the high elven tomes - in his opinion, his own inability to harness the power of these books was a bit of a tyrannical thing.

"There are six libraries in Elson City, and if I can, I'd like to move there the books that are too difficult, and exchange them for some basic books - my... One of her subordinates is a descendant of the High Elves and an Arcanist, so she should have studied all of them. ”

Roddy couldn't explain Camila's origins, so he could only casually reveal his identity, and Brudy only thought for a moment before nodding yes - Roddy had promised a bright future for Elsa's village, and now his promise has been fulfilled... So Brudy never had any doubts about Roddy.

Brudy's idea is actually very simple, and it can even be called "simple", in one sentence, that is, "since you are good to me, then I will also be good to you".

However, Roddy can accept others, but will not accept the set of "arranged marriage", and after continuing to chat for a few words, he confirmed that Brudy did not mention the marriage again, and said: "There will be some movement in Houllier City in the past two days, and after the turmoil subsides, there will be more caravans here to do business, so you need to wait these days." ”

He got up and looked at the team that had begun to assemble outside, then turned around and said, "If there are still people from other wood elf villages coming, you can treat them with good wine and meat, and let them experience the difference between their cottages and towns, maybe they will talk less nonsense." ”

"That's a good idea. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Roddy came to the village square. Henry and Buffon's injuries have healed, the fat man's arm is bandaged, and he is directing his subordinates to tie up the goods on the carriage with one hand, Buffon saw Roddy coming down, so he came over to report the number and status of the team, and by the way, he also briefly talked about the current armed forces and level of the wood elves, this carefulness made Roddy nodded, after seeing that they were willing to fight to the death for a simple order for themselves, Roddy had unreservedly trusted them, and further delegated power, allowing them to stand alone.

The caravan was carrying all the specialties of the Wood Elf Village, and the cavalry team led by Sodrol formed another team, preparing to return to the Parr Territory with the charged hedron under the ruins of Wagra, waiting for a new round of recruitment and training before being transported to Elson City.

Roddy went to change his leather armor and put on his full gear before heading to Nata's tree hole, ready to say goodbye to the "student" who still hadn't recovered from his injuries.

Nata's injuries are too severe, and she has been in a coma these days, and she is still in a stable state, but she can't get up - Nata was awake when Roddy came in, he said hello, naturally picked up the water glass, sat on the side of Nata's bed, gently held her shoulder, and fed her a few sips of water.

Nata accepted it all in silence without any resistance.

"The team is ready to go, I'll tell you. ”

Roddy put down the glass.

"Do you really want me to take a month off?"

Nata's mood was visibly low.

"At least a month, maybe longer, until you're fully recovered. And in the meantime... I will not allow you to participate in any hunting or fighting. Roddy looked at Nata, whose cheeks were thin and pale, and his heart was actually distressed - the two had experienced countless battles together, and there were always some unspeakable ties in their hearts, and this time Nata's injuries were so serious that they were almost equivalent to dying once... This made Roddy a little scared every time he thought about it.

However, at this time, he didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so he pretended to be relaxed: "I need to go to the south of the kingdom, there are no enemies there, you just need to wait for me to come back." ”

After saying that, Luo Di felt that this kind of entrustment seemed to have a slightly different meaning, as if the husband who left home to fight was comforting his wife...

He coughed in embarrassment, and then noticed that Nata's cheeks seemed to be flushed slightly as well—but the wood elf quickly looked away and shifted the subject: "There are some things that I haven't had a chance to tell you... The Bishop had talked to his men about something before he died, about what staff..."

Nata recounted what she had heard from Flac, and Roddy had already asked a lot of things from the last surviving infidels, but there was something he had never heard of before about the "Viper Scepter" and "Cardinal Goethe".

Roddy knew that the "Pit Viper Cross" was still fighting against the "Rosace Cross" until 597, but he didn't know the specifics, and he hadn't heard of the "Pit Viper Scepter" - because religious confrontation was often a matter of concern after joining the camp, Roddy had always been committed to fighting against the "foreign enemy" of orcs and undead, and he didn't remember much about these.

Anyway, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, that's something Rubens has to worry about, and he just has time to remind him for a personal favor.

"I see, this information is useful. Roddy nodded, then heard the sound of the entire team outside, and knew it was time for him to leave.

"I... Went first. ”

Facing Nata, Roddy was reluctant to say too many polite words.

"Yes. ”

Nata nodded slightly, and Roddy knew that she wouldn't say anything more, so he turned around and prepared to leave, but when he climbed to the hole in the tree and was about to jump down, he heard an indiscernible advice drift in his ear.

"Teacher, come back early. ”

Roddy's movements froze slightly, and finally he didn't look back, and jumped directly down the tree hole.

The prepared team immediately left the village of Elsa and began to head towards their respective destinations: Sodlorre returned to Parr with the cavalry and began a three-month rest: the soldiers needed a long vacation to relax and adjust their minds.

Henry and the others went to Kig Town with new goods for a new round of sales - the market in Hollier City did not exist every day, so they had set up the headquarters of the trading house in Kig Town, and began to deal with those alchemists' guilds, magicians' guilds, and mercenary guilds.

Everything is going according to plan, and as the master of all the strategies, the only thing Roddy has to do next is to go to Hollier City alone to attend the banquet held at the Duke's Palace.

This was the final step in all the arrangements that Roddy and the Duke of Angmar had arranged in their correspondence - and according to the plan. All the chaos in Evtata will come to an end on this day.

By the time of April 28, it had been raining for more than a week in the Brill Forest in the southwest of the kingdom.

The Rosicrucius team deployed in Brill Forest has been fighting for more than three months, and to this day, everything they have been doing is going well. The executioner squad of the "Pit Viper Cross" was on the verge of collapse after several failed counterattacks, and the originally long front was forced to shrink, and according to the estimation of the "Temple", as long as all the reserves were invested, these enemies would definitely be eliminated in one fell swoop!

The Rosicrucian faction fights differently than the lords summoning knights to fight, because the sect is highly hierarchical and forbidden, so their armies are extremely well coordinated. Although most of the battles fought in the forest were skirmishes, each unit was able to maintain the same front at all times, and by constantly putting great pressure on the "Pit Viper Cross", the results were finally achieved.

The enemy is always retreating, and there are fewer and fewer battles ... Although the teams of the "Rosicrist" were scattered throughout the jungle, they were all convinced of the message of the bishops of the "Temple": these heretics were about to be completely destroyed!

As the rain dripped from the camp to the camp, the soldiers in metal armor reached out and wiped their sweaty cheeks, strode to the tent in the middle of the camp, and after explaining their intentions, they were led by a priest.
