There were clouds drifting across the sky, and in the sun, on the green meadows, some crooked corpses lay across the wilderness.

The prairie's endemic vultures hovered and fell, and the occasional crow croaked and flew by, and these black shadows brought a sense of gloom to the tranquil prairie. The blood has clotted, and the stench of corpses is gradually spreading... The battlefield left behind when Roddy rescued Sally remained the same.

Francis's men had already checked the place, but they didn't have time to dispose of the corpses of a group of orcs, so the battlefield was almost intact at this time.

And at the third pole of the sun, a figure that should not have been here was crouching down, carefully observing the corpse of the orc who was in a terrible state of death.

From any point of view, judging the complete course of a battle by the traces left by corpses and the ground is an obscure skill. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, these corpses have almost no judgment value after being pecked by crows and exposed to the scorching sun.

But for Sodlore, who had followed his baron's father in the war on the southern frontier at the age of 13, it was enough to provide him with a great deal of information about the battle.

Three days after the battle, dead wolves, maggot-covered orcs, and horses that had died from the impact wounds remained.

He endured the stench and looked through all the corpses, and although his face was still expressionless, he felt a little shocked by the fatal wounds in his heart.

"Good archery. ”

Sodrore sighed heartily.

He had already seen the tragic battlefield left by the old Gerson and others in order to intercept the wolf cavalry, and Sodrore, who had studied the orcs for a long time, also judged the identity of this wolf cavalry...... That is when Roddy learns about the enemy's conspiracy and saves Sally at a critical moment, who should have no hope of survival!

Thinking of this, Sodrore's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited - he was a noble descendant of a family in distress, and his inner dream was to have enough power and status to revive the family and take revenge.

During his time in Finks Village, he was a little estranged from the scouts, because everyone knew that Sodrore was far from being a scout here, but he found that he could not see the hope in front of him-

The revival family? can't even fight a fellow in a fortress, how can we talk about revival?

Revenge: If you encounter an orc and run away with the whole village, what kind of revenge can you talk about?

The blood gradually cooled, and Sodrol was a little resigned to his silence over the years, but at this time, he felt that something in his chest was being rekindled.

Is it because I saw someone really do a "heroic" act?

Whether it was Roddy or not who did all this, Sodrore was sure that there was indeed a strong man here who could easily kill ten orc wolf cavalry and quietly leave.

How could a descendant of a declining aristocracy not want to make a career in this society, how could he not want to become a lord in power?

His fingers trembled slightly, and Sodrol felt like he hadn't been so excited in a long time. He stood up and pondered the route to find Sally and Roddy to get out of here, combining the map of Evta's territory in his mind, but then he found that he couldn't tell where the other was going, because the inexplicable contradiction between Francis and Sally made everything even more confusing.

In the end, the scheming Sodrol decided to go to Nolan Village, where Roddy was originally located, and he needed to confirm whether all this was done by Roddy, and if so... Then Sodroll, who saw the "benchmark", already had his own plans.

He wants to become stronger, and the position of scout who rides horses and herds sheep all day has made Sodrol endure enough, as long as there is the slightest chance to find an opportunity to increase in strength, he will not give up.

Riding back, Sodrore's figure faded into the horizon.

At this point, it seems that the historical events that should have been settled have only begun to enter a real chaotic stage at this moment - Francis has prepared for the worst, and is even ready to "wait for the rabbit" outside Houllier to intercept Sally, and Sodlore, the original outsider, has changed his future plans because of the battlefield left behind by Roddy.

Historically, the city of Houllier, where the burial ceremony was originally held for Sally's death, is still quiet at this moment, as if nothing had happened.

Roddy and Sally, who are in the Silent Forest, are racing against Francis, but no one knows who the ultimate winner will be.

"It's really hard for me to imagine... Are you really thirty-seven?"

Sally didn't know how many times she had said this, but she had seen so many new things along the way that she hadn't been exposed to - aside from the events in the "Steiro Creek" dungeon, Roddy then took her out of the Silent Forest with great speed and was absolutely unforgettable.

According to the usual methods of adventurers in the books, the best way to escape from the forest is to walk along a stream or river, but no one has ever told Sally that drifting down the river is an infinite number of times faster and less laborious than walking.

"If you exchange your life, you will naturally remember it clearly. ”

Roddy replied by the stream, sorting out what he had just bought from Kig, without looking up.

In the early morning, the two of them made their way down the river at an astonishing speed with the help of a raft of vines and trees, and walked straight out of the edge of the forest before Sally had time to react.

This kind of thing is probably the first time that anyone has done this kind of thing for adventurers in the Silent Forest, but for the "player" Roddy, this way of leaving the forest is really commonplace. In the "rippling" he experienced before his rebirth, everything tried to be realistic, and the environment that players experienced when they were adventuring in the forest put a lot of effort into it, with humidity, heat, mosquito bites, etc., no quick waypoints, no return scrolls, everything was on their own. Therefore, the players who originally came to the Silent Forest to play dungeons basically learned to use this method to leave the forest along the river after continuous research.

Roddy still clearly remembers the scene when the river was blocked when there were many people on the way back, and now that there is no one in the time and space crossing the river, he is a little uncomfortable.

And now, five days have passed since the night when the orcs were killed.

The two spent a night in silence after the "gone" incident, and the next day, Sally seemed to understand that she was not playing a temper, and gradually returned to normal, never mentioning anything that had happened before.

In this way, Roddy was also secretly glad that he had escaped.

It was already noon, and Roddy had already gone on a solo trip to the town of Kieg, a short distance away, and had sold the leopard skin and spider venom sac in the town for a relatively low price, in exchange for silver coins to buy a lot of food and what he needed - and his next plan was to take Sally through the town that had been patrolled by Francis's eyeliner, and return to Houllier City through the path of the Endel mines.

You can't ride horses or rent carriages along the way, as that would be the first to be checked by the Conceton cavalry and town guards, and Roddy chose to walk through the town because it wouldn't attract much attention. And once out of town, everything is easy for him.

"Are we really going to enter Kig?"

Sally took the clothes that Roddy had handed her, and seemed a little unconvinced of Roddy's decision.

"Your brother is probably rushing to Houllier City now, but all the towns along the way will definitely be watched, he will not simply wait for you in Houllier City, I'm afraid he has already made a bloody investment in order to block you this time. Roddy pulled out a purple-black plant stem from the package he bought, and struck it with a clink of pebbles.

"So... We must get back before he does, or you'll not even be able to get into Hollier." ”

Thinking of her brother's way of doing things, Sally also understood the crisis of the current situation. Speaking of which, if she could return to Holier City in advance, she would have enough ways to ensure her safety, but no matter how she thought about it at this time, she didn't understand how Roddy could have such strong confidence.

Francis must have returned on a fast horse, and he... After all, it's on foot.

"Time was tight, so I dyed my hair first. ”

Roddy is now gradually returning to his old "tech nerd" state, acting extremely efficiently and without nonsense, and the mash in his hand can temporarily dye Sally's dazzling long white-blond hair black, which is the first step of transfiguration.

Along the way, Sally gradually got used to Roddy's style of acting, although the previous few things still made her feel ashamed in her heart, but obviously Sally gradually understood that this guy in front of her was very good for women... To put it mildly, it was purely a lack of dullness, and when she figured it out, she was not as angry as she had been at first, and even sometimes showed a submissive attitude towards Roddy's words - but obedience was obedient, and when she lay on the ground and watched Roddy dye her hair with a serious expression, she couldn't help but think a little cranky in her heart.

It is said that men are the most attractive when they are serious, and for Sally, who has never had close contact with the opposite sex, Roddy's current appearance does have some unspeakable taste...

No matter how rational a woman is, she is emotional after all. The two of them have been embarrassed, misunderstood, and had a life-and-death crisis before, and when they think about it, they feel that there seems to be a trace of inexplicable connection between them. However, after the mood calmed down, this feeling was faint, not strong, just like a stream flowing quietly in Sally's heart, existing, but not noisy.

Lying on her back on the ground, Sally looked at the blue sky, her hair scattered, and her posture was quiet and calm. Occasionally, he would see Roddy's dangling hand, but the other party was frowning and thinking about something with the dye in his hand, and he didn't seem to notice her gaze.

What a weird nerd.

Sally wanted to laugh a little, but there was an indescribable emotion in her heart, as if she wanted to enjoy the silence quietly.
