Elonian 588, November 15.

There are 148 days left until the countdown to the first step of the [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] is over.

The snow was scattered all around, and the convoy escorting Roddy had been in the forest for three days, and by this time they could see the edge of the forest in the distance.

Outside the car has dropped to minus five degrees Celsius due to heavy snowfall, but the inside of the carriage is still as warm as spring. The delicate and warm little stove in the center of the carriage, the lifelike carving and gilding, showed that the humble stove was worth at least fifty gold coins, a figure that Roddy knew, but Nata, who sat across from him, had no idea.

For this wood elf, although she was trying to imagine and adapt to everything in the human world, she was still shocked when she saw such a luxurious scene.

The whole carriage is like a gorgeous palace, the structure of the "Hui" shape is more than enough for ten people, the antique wooden shelves are placed with several bottles of red wine from the famous wineries in the south of the kingdom, the floor is covered with handmade thick wool blankets, and the soft cushions have a wolf head embroidered with gold thread, indicating that this is the exclusive item of the "Rouseflon" family.

For the sake of lighting, the "strip window" of the double-glazed structure is boldly adopted above the carriage, even if the daylight is not bright, but it still makes the carriage full of light...

All these details made Nata, who had never walked out of the Silent Forest, completely feel that she was a "dirt bun", she had never imagined that the "nobles" of the human world could be so luxurious, because in the three days on the road, Nata was much more restrained than before, and it could even be said that there was no movement at all.

How complex is the human world?

Her big eyes blinked, her gaze lifted slightly, and she looked at Roddy, who was sitting opposite, and couldn't help imagining such a question in her heart.

In the past few days, she has always reminisced about the bits and pieces since she met Roddy - I still remember the first time I met him, Nata thought he was powerful, but also weird, spoke Elfish, and always came up with strange remarks...

Later, Roddy killed the Bone Armored Elephant, killed Kevin the "Executioner" and Magda the "Blighter" alone, and led the team to successfully fight his way out of the encirclement of the noble lords... All kinds of events are enough to pile up the image of Roddy into a glittering "hero" in the eyes of ordinary people, but at this moment, Nata feels that the young man in front of her, who is always frowning slightly, does not seem to be any different from the first time she met it.

He has always maintained a near-zero presence, low-key and unremarkable.

For some reason, Nata felt that this was unfair to Roddy: could it be that after all these contributions, he was still an inconspicuous member of the human world?

"It's the first time you've been so far from home, right?"

When there was a slight difference in her heart, Roddy, who suddenly spoke, startled Nata, she looked away in a hurry, and then nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"We'll be in Hollier in a while, and there are some things I need to talk to you about in advance so that you can be prepared. Roddy didn't ask Nata why she was staring at herself, but continued very formulaically: "Holier City is the largest human city you can see next, there will be a lot of rules here, and there will be a lot of people and things to come into contact with, and you have to ask me before making any decisions, so that you can avoid danger and unnecessary conflicts, understand?"

"Yes. ”

"Remember to wear a face covering and hood, and don't reveal your identity unless I give permission. ”

"Yes. ”

"Don't run around, I know you love cleanliness, so I prepared a lot of spare clothes for you, when you need to wash, you can give them to the maid, you don't have to wash them secretly, okay?"

"Well... I know. ”

Nata blushed a little, she didn't expect Roddy to notice her "cleanliness", but then there was a little inexplicable warmth from the bottom of her heart.

After saying this, Roddy stopped talking, and continued to frown and look through the parchment - this scene had been repeated for three days, and he had so many things to worry about, even if he was in the same carriage with Nata, there was never any ambiguity... The pressure was so great that he didn't think about anything like that at all.

Suren was originally here, but he was later assigned to another carriage in order to study leather armor.

The atmosphere fell silent again, but today Nata suddenly wanted to say something, she pursed her lips, and after hesitating for a moment, for the first time, asked a question that she had been thinking about for a long time: "Teacher, do you have a high status among the human race?"

The teacher is so powerful, he must have a higher status than the village chief of Brudy.

Roddy raised his head, a little surprised, but still said honestly: "It's not high, or... It's low, I'm not even a nobleman. ”

"Why?"

Nata blinked, not believing Roddy's claims at all.

"Because..."Roddy opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found that he couldn't find a suitable concept and entry point to elaborate for a while, after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Status depends on whether others agree with you, there are many people who recognize you, and status naturally belongs to the 'high' class." ”

He pointed to himself: "People like me who no one knows are naturally of a very low status. ”

Nata blinked, nodded her head as if she didn't understand, and her mood was inexplicably a little low - she was usually very indifferent, and she had a lot of words today, thinking that she was looking forward to entering a big city.

She wanted to find out what kind of person her teacher was, and if she was "very good", she would naturally feel some satisfaction in her heart - for the young Nata, such a thought was inevitable.

However, Roddy's answer obviously made her a little disappointed.

This is the end of the conversation between the two, Roddy bows his head and continues to study the arrangements that need to be busy next, while Nata tries to relieve the depression in her heart - after the team continues to walk for ten minutes, the soldiers outside suddenly let out a burst of cheers...

The team had walked out of the forest, without the shade of the trees, and the people saw the towering walls and buildings of the destination city of Hollier...

The windows were opened, and Nata looked at the marvelous buildings, the usual indifference on her face receding like ice and snow melting, leaving only the curiosity and surprise she had never shown. Roddy looked at her delicate face, and sighed in his heart that the other party was just a young girl after all.

When he arrived in Houllier, Roddy couldn't help but think of Sally, how was the figure with long white and blonde hair doing now?

As he was thinking about it and turning his eyes to the front of the group, Roddy suddenly noticed that the scene in front of him seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

The snow was still falling, but on both sides of the city wall were more than a hundred honor guards armed with spears, their silver armor carved with roses and crosses to represent the soldiers of the Order, and the red ceremonial ribbons on their chests proved that this force was an elite force.

With the elite cavalry regiment as a guard of honor, such a posture only appeared when greeting Governor Rubens.

Is there a visit from the Exarch today?

As soon as doubts appeared in Luo Di's heart, he saw these two rows of honor guards standing upright and saluting collectively to the carriage he was in!

"This is..."

As the carriage entered the city gate, the queue of Templar soldiers in front of the window gradually changed to soldiers with the family insignia of "Rouseflon", and as the carriage advanced, all these soldiers saluted the convoy in the same way!

In the snowstorm, instead of saluting and leaving, these soldiers slowly followed behind the group, whether it was the soldiers of the sect or the private soldiers of Roussiflon, they all guarded the front and rear of Rody's carriage in an orderly manner.

It was only at this point that Roddy could finally confirm... This team is here to greet them.

But Roddy knew very well that such a solemn and grand courtesy was probably not even possessed by Bishop Rubens.

Obviously, this is Duke Angmar and Bishop Benjamin expressing their gratitude and respect, and in such a situation, Suren and Nata, no matter how stupid they are, feel the true weight of Roddy in the entire Ivota territory!

The biggest nobleman Suren had ever seen in his life was Viscount Trenka, and he had only seen it from afar, and he didn't have a chance to get close - and he was desperately pinching his thigh... Under the ass sat the carriage of the Duke's Palace, and it was the convoy of the Duke's Palace and the "Rosicrucian" sect that greeted him, all this is true!

He never dreamed that these two forces, which originally seemed to be in the "clouds", would still send the most spectacular greeting team under the harsh conditions of a snowy day...

And Nata turned her head directly, and her little face, which was still a little sad, showed a slight expression that seemed to be smiling, looked at Roddy, and said word by word: "The teacher just said that he 'no one knows him, and his status is very low'?"

Roddy suddenly felt that what he had just said was completely shooting himself in the foot.

And this is not the end, when the team came all the way to the Duke's Palace, Nata saw the two figures standing outside the gate of the manor...

"Who's that?"

"Ahem..."

Roddy coughed dryly twice and got out of the carriage directly, because it was the Duke and the Bishop himself!

Standing outside the manor in person to greet him, such a gesture was unprecedented in the aristocratic etiquette, and Roddy said in his heart that it was impossible not to be moved - this was definitely a model of "Corporal Lixian"!

However, his biggest characteristic as an otaku is that his "emotional" emotions can be suppressed almost as soon as they appear, so after his brain gradually calmed down, he quickly wondered: Is it really a good thing to encounter such a thing as soon as he returns to Houllier City?

Sweeping his gaze again, there were many other nobles on both sides of the manor, obviously all of them were the elite class of Hollier City-which made Roddy's original smile freeze slightly, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

I see, these two old guys want to tie themselves to them completely!

Putting on such a big show, and even personally bringing countless people to greet him, this is definitely not the scene that Luo Di wants to see: because this is tantamount to exposing his originally hidden identity to the public, and being directly thrown under the scrutiny of countless eyes...

If you want to avoid strife and trouble, Roddy has only one choice: to stand in the light and form an alliance with Angmar and Benjamin!

Luo Di really didn't expect that he was fighting for life and death outside, and finally returned to the main city with a sigh of relief, but he fell into their trap from the moment he entered the city!

This situation really made Roddy angry and laughed.
