"Who? Roddy, you've already met him?"

Benjamin heard a rough idea, but he couldn't understand why the Governor, who had always been unflattered, was so surprised.

Rubens's mind was finally calm, and he quickly recovered from the shock, rubbing his brow in silence, but also showing the same wry smile as Benjamin - "Not only have I seen it, but I almost had a conflict..."

"What?"

"Now that I think about it, it's not a surprise that he appeared in the Duke's Palace..."

Although they were friends, Rubens was more cautious after all, and did not casually tell all the encounters at noon, but simply told Benjamin about his "misunderstanding" with Roddy, and then sighed: "Such a guy really shouldn't be just a scout captain." ”

For the first time, the two old men made the same exclamation for a young man, but after the lamentation, they were ready to go to the monastery's dining room for some dinner, but as soon as they walked out the door, the priest in charge of gathering information came by.

"Goy, is this all new news from the south?"

"Yes, Lord Overseer, but most of them should be related to Lord Gordon's battle with Count Moore, and there is only one letter from the Temple. ”

"Oh, how's the fight going over there?"

Rubens took the letter from the other party's hand, asked casually, turned around and put it in front of his desk, and was about to come back from dinner to read it again, but he didn't know that Goistor's words made him stop suddenly-

"Count Moore seems to have won..."

"Who? you mean... Lord Gordon defeated?"

Rubens' eyes widened and he couldn't help but ask this sentence, but the words that Roddy had just said in the morning suddenly came to his mind.

This... It can't be a coincidence, right?

"This should be conclusive news, as the way back to the 'Temple' will pass through the territory of Earl Moore, so the messenger will deliver this information as quickly as possible. ”

While the priest was still talking, Rubens immediately found out the detailed report of the battle situation from those letters, and found that it was written the whole process of "Earl Moore outwitted Lord Gordon"...

He couldn't help but look at the letter in his hand in a daze, and felt that the other party was short-sighted because of Roddy's remarks in the morning, but now it seems that this scout captain... That's true!

At the same moment, Roddy, who was drinking at the dinner table, naturally did not know that Rubens had now regarded himself as a monster.

When he talked about "Lord Gordon" at the luncheon this day, he didn't really know who this guy was—but when it came to Earl Moore, Roddy was familiar with it.

In the eyes of players, the nobles of the kingdom are roughly divided into three types: the "leading party" such as Francis, who stands on their own and is noble and cold, and the rest is to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

Either way, the presence of these three nobles is the source of the kingdom's disagreement, and the "Earl of Moore" is a staunch supporter of the royal family in Roddy's memory, and he is also a "pillar" level leader!

Although he can't be called a god or a great strategy, Count Moore is definitely the best among the leaders who can really gather soldiers and fight back when the orcs are invading the territory of Karen one after another. Not only that, but for a long time, the royal family, which had been stripped of power, was almost entirely saved by his several correct decisions and not destroyed...

With such a factual basis, Roddy naturally would not believe that such a powerful party would be killed by some small fish and shrimp that he had never heard of, but at this time, no one would care what he answered Rubens at noon, because in such a grand dinner, it was not the various nobles of Houllier City who participated... But all of them are scouts from Nolan Village.

In an era when low-level soldiers may never see the duke for the rest of their lives, the scene of scouts and lords drinking and chatting will always be something that is impossible to achieve in the eyes of Carter, Ruger and others, and even thought about it.

Now, however, under the leadership of Knight Titus, they entered the Duke's palace in a dignified, open, and majestic manner, and under the service of a group of servants, they changed into brand new military uniforms, sat in a clean and bright dining room, and feasted on the sumptuous food in front of them with sterling silver utensils...

For them, everything that happened was like a dream.

This dinner is not only the physical satisfaction brought by eating and drinking, but also the greatest affirmation of the hearts of all soldiers after the struggle for a long time!

Luo Di knows one thing very well: participating in the war is nothing more than two purposes, one is profit, the other is fame, as a non-mercenary existence of the scouts do not have a great desire for money, but the yearning for the "glory" in front of them is far deeper than anyone else!

If you can't get these things, who will get up early and run around the battlefield in the dark?

So at this time, looking at the way these subordinates laughed and talked loudly, Luo Di could deeply appreciate the increasingly cohesive military spirit and high morale.

Of course, he admired the Duke of Angmar who agreed to this request, and also admired the two knights who were sitting and drinking with the scouts at this time—such a scene was absolutely unique in the era of high rank.

"I said it, if you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!"

The Duke held his glass high, and although he knew that his body had not yet recovered, he still drank the glass of ale, and then said, "Happy!"

"Long live your lord!"

There was a burst of cheers, and the restaurant, which had always had a quiet atmosphere, was noisy at this time.

Roddy didn't drink much, and he only drank two glasses of ale after the dinner began, and he was already a little dizzy at this time, but fortunately, the level and attribute advantages were here, and he didn't have any foreign appearances - he looked at Sally, who was greeting the scouts, and felt a little helpless: in the afternoon, he found Sally and wanted to explain to the other party what happened at noon, but he didn't know that Sally pouted and closed the door directly and hid in the bedroom, Roddy waited for a long time to see that she didn't mean to open it, and finally had to walk away...

And when it was time for the dinner, Sally dressed up to greet Sodrore and the others with a smile as if nothing had happened, and greeted herself as well, but she didn't have much conversation with him, just a few formulaic words...

"What a headache..."

Roddy really couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking, but his mind was not all on the woman, and when he saw that there were finally fewer people around the Wellington Knight, he swayed over and whispered: "Wellington Knight, do you have time to talk?"

"Oh?" Wellington looked down at the guy who was a head shorter than himself, and he really had a good impression of these scouts who could kill back and forth in the orc kingdom, so he smiled and replied, "Tell me, what can I help you with?"

"It's just... About these scouts. ”

Roddy walked to the corner of the cafeteria with him, and made some thoughts with his hands, "Regarding things like horsemanship and swordsmanship, this team is currently lacking a very experienced instructor..."

The two figures, one tall and one short, walked to the side as they said this, and not far away, Sally, who seemed to be smiling and chatting with her father, quietly glanced at Roddy with her spare eyes-

"Why?

Angmar naturally noticed this, and the low joke made Sally's little face flush a lot, she wrinkled her nose, turned her eyes and snorted softly: "Who is looking at him..."

"I didn't say who it was. ”

Angmarha smiled, diverted the topic when her daughter's face turned red all of a sudden, and asked, "By the way, have you thought about the things Rubens said?"

"Consider... No, not yet. ”

Sally's little face suddenly shriveled at the thought of what the Overlord had said about going to the "temple"... Although she knew that this was the opportunity that countless nobles or believers dreamed of, she was still worried about that "stupid" in her heart after all, two years is not long or short, if she leaves now, it is estimated that it will take two and a half years to come back, and at that time she will be an eighteen-year-old girl who is almost nineteen...

"What a daughter wants to do, the father will not stop me, I just want you to know - no matter what you decide, I, as a father, will support you unconditionally. Angmar raised her hand, covered her mouth and whispered, "Although the 'Rosicrucifer' has a rule prohibiting marriage, the bloodline of Roussifron... But it will be passed on. ”

"Father!"

Sally couldn't listen to it anymore, so she simply covered her ears, and her face was like a red apple, "I'm only sixteen years old, don't talk to me about having children!"

"Okay, okay, I don't say it, I don't say it. ”

Duke Angmar hurriedly stopped the conversation and raised his hand to make a gesture of "surrender", which was a common gesture when he coaxed Sally when he was a child, and made it at this time, but it made Sally next to her, who was originally in a little messy, feel a little sad all of a sudden...

Looking at the wrinkles on her father's face that could no longer be concealed and her body that was no longer strong, Sally also understood the carefree times of the past... I'm afraid I won't be able to go back.

She also knew that if she stayed in Holier City, she might really only be able to slowly rise from the priesthood, although she was already taller than others, but at least three or five years before she could become a bishop, and then she could only rely on luck.

And if you follow Bishop Rubens to the "Temple", not to mention that you will inevitably have the title of "Bishop" after two years, the connections and resources accumulated in the denomination in the past two years alone are definitely not comparable to a priest in Hollier. What's more, if her father's body has three strengths and two weaknesses, and the lordship and duke will inherit from her head, if she doesn't have enough background and resources, how can she sit in such a high position?

Sally had already understood the cruelty of reality, so of course she knew what she should choose at this time, but when she looked up at Roddy, she always felt that she couldn't make any cruel decisions or decisions right away.

All afternoon until now, Sally was actually hesitating, and even didn't dare to meet and talk to Roddy, because she was afraid that Roddy would speak out to save her, so how should she choose?

But seeing her father supporting her like this, Sally gradually understood... These choices weren't something she could have made on her own merits - it was the entire Rusiflon family and the future of Ivota Realm that weighed on her back.

Thinking of this, Sally took a few deep breaths, and when she saw Roddy walking away from the Wellington Knight in a bit of depression, she quickly chased after him, ready to confess her choice to him.
