468. Chapter 468: Departure
March 6.
"You must be cautious in your work, and when there are special circumstances, you must consult Master Kathon for advice. β
"How old are you?
No matter how cunning the Count of Mirno, he was still a father to his sonβlike all fathers, and he did not forget to repeat many words before leaving.
Senna, on the other hand, was much more sensible than his young and frivolous peers, and he kept nodding his head in promise, exactly like a good son who obeyed his father's wishes.
"Okay, okay, go early and come back early, I hope you can have more experience, see more how those nobles deal with things, and if you have shortcomings, think about how you do it if you change it, and whether you can do it better." Count Mirno waved his hand, "I won't nag..."
Senna saluted respectfully, and then boarded the lavishly decorated and spacious carriage under his father's watchful eye, and a middle-aged old man next to him came to greet Mirno, and then pulled the cloak that concealed his robes, and followed the procession.
This is the mage Kasson trained by the Mirno family, he has the title of "intermediate mage" in the mage association, and according to Roddy's judging criteria, this mage is currently advanced to level 17 and belongs to the standard "elemental master". In this era when the legal profession is scarce, he is definitely an "uncrowned nobleman", so he does not have any humble gesture when facing Mirno, as if he is just a friend who helps along the way in this operation.
The convoy left the city gates, and Senna sat in the carriage in a proper manner. However, when they arrived at the first town outside the city, several young girls who had already been arranged to wait here got into the carriage of this "prince", and all the servants in the convoy pretended not to see it at all...
Perhaps the only person who complained about this was the mage Kasson, who occasionally looked at the chariot in front of him, which was always rickety, and occasionally panted or roared, pouted, and continued to look down at the difficult spell books...
More than a thousand miles away, the orcs of the Nehemian steppes also began to pack their bags and prepare for the long journey.
The orcs were short of resources, and they could really leave at any time when they said they were ready, and the nomads had long been accustomed to living without a fixed settlement, so it took less than a day from Godard's order to six hundred wolf cavalry to be ready.
"Godard Overseer, if you leave so suddenly now, how will the Grand Chief of Sauron explain it?"
"You're just waiting here, and when his men come looking for me, tell him I've just left - remember, be sure to tell him I'm going to do 'pre-reconnaissance,' you know?"
"Yes! Godard Overseer!"
The scorching sun shone down on the sturdy orc, and Godard looked back at his eager soldiers, their hands shining with cruelty...
Sauron didn't start preparing until April, but Godard set out early for more than just "reconnaissance".
With his fingers gently rubbing his tomahawk, he leaped onto his huge wolf, and then pulled out a beautifully drawn map from his pocket - he silently recited the "positioning mantra" he had only recently learned, and after confirming his current location, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, and ordered: "Warriors, let us be a nightmare that makes humanity tremble!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Long live Godard!"
"Kill everything!"
The slogans are not uniform, but their hearts thirst for killing... But it is more blazing than ever.
"I've only been back for over a month, and now I'm going out again..."
Camilla looked at Roddy, who was wearing a new leather armor, and her eyes flickered a little: "I originally wanted to say that you should pay attention to safety, but look at the current situation... There's really nothing to worry about. β
"Depending on what you say, it's never a bad thing to be careful. β
Roddy smiled, Camilla's tone was always a little strange, inexplicably reminded him of the wives who sent their husbands to the front...
But this is just an illusion, when Akasha's figure appeared outside the door, Camilla had already regained her usual calm, she coughed lightly, and continued: "The upgrading of the city defense construction is now on the agenda? β
"Listen to me, be prepared. β
Seeing that Roddy had no room for veto, Camilla no longer argued like that - this winter, Roddy had proved his decision right with his actions, so this "strong woman" style of staff had gradually become accustomed to supporting his decision.
"Brother Roddy!"
Nephie's shouts rang out outside the house, and she rushed into the house like a gust of wind, and before she could say anything, she was grabbed by her mother and reprimanded: "Pay attention to your image!
There are red-faced and white-faced, Roddy hurriedly grabbed Camilla, and the coquettish Neffie didn't care what her mother said, she actually hugged Roddy's waist and shouted: "I'm going too! Brother Roddy, you promise me!"
"Hey, hey, I didn't say yes to you!"
"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!"
Neffi shook Roddy vigorously: "You said that there will be no danger this time, I'm about to suffocate in the city, can you take me with you!"
In the past, Nephie didn't dare to confront her mother, but now that she has a backer, her coquettish skills go straight through the sky, and Akasha next to her is a little dumbfounded - if she didn't know the roots, she would definitely think that this is Roddy's daughter...
Camila was originally resolutely opposed to Nefi going out, but if she was allowed to go with Roddy, then Camilla would be relieved of a hundred hearts - this city lord definitely raised her as a princess, and she would not be allowed to suffer the slightest grievance.
"I'm not just going out to play, some things are still dangerous. β
"Don't lie to me! I'm ready to listen to what you say, you're not going to lie to your mother, are you?"
"Uh... This one. β
"I promise not to run around, promise not to cause trouble, just obediently follow you, okay?
"Nephi!
Camilla saw that Nephie was really open-minded, and she also glanced at Roddy as if asking for help - of course she knew that she couldn't blindly suppress Nefi's appeal, and the most important thing she should do as an "Arcanist" was to travel around and improve her skills in practice. And now that there is someone to entrust, if you don't agree to Naifei's request, I'm afraid there will really be irreconcilable contradictions between the mother and daughter.
Roddy observed his words and naturally understood that Camilla agreed, but he still made a difficult look: "Then you have to promise not to act alone, do you hear?"
"I promise, I promise!"
Nephie shouted excitedly, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Roddy turn around and walk to the storage room next to him, and soon came back with a stack of things.
"This robe was originally intended to be given to you on your birthday, but you must wear it on your body at all times when you go out this time..."
"Brother Roddy, I didn't tell you about my birthday. β
"Uh... I haven't had time to ask. β
Roddy sweated in his heart, he really didn't ask anyone about Nefi's birthday, because it was something that could never be erased from his memory, but now he could only hurriedly find a reason to lie.
"I asked the tailor to make the clothes the other day, and they have the rune crystals I set for you, and the replacement runes are in this bag. β
Luo Di didn't say that the material of this dress is a thin layer of dragon skin made of high elves' unique technology, and the position is taken from the softest area of the inner side of the dragon's abdomen, and it is woven on the robe piece by piece for breathability, and ordinary people will mistake it for fabric if they don't look carefully.
But Camilla could see at a glance what kind of material it was, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart - I'm afraid that even she herself was reluctant to wear such expensive clothes for her daughter...
How much does this Roddy want to spoil her!
The inexplicable vinegar came up again, and Camila bit her lip several times before pressing it down, but seeing that Roddy brought her four or five more magic props to hang on her body, she still covered her slightly twitching cheeks:
"Roddy... Isn't that an exaggeration?"
"No, no, no, aren't all those arcanists from the High Elves like that? β
He wanted to arm Nephie to the teeth, but Camila just didn't want to see him continue to spoil Nefi like this and drive her daughter to pack her bags.
The final confirmed departure list was only four men: Roddy, Nefi, Nata, and Akasha, and Rugerkat remained in the city to train the recruits, while the rest of the private soldiers were assembled and gathered by Sodrore.
However, when it was time to leave, Camilla still felt that it was not safe for the small number of people in the team, so she took the initiative to ask Akasha to bring some of the "undead soldiers" as a "guard".
Akasha and Camila rarely communicate with each other, and they can't even be said to be in the right eye, but this does not lead to prejudice, especially when it comes to "safety" issues, and Akasha also knows that Camila is a kind reminder. It's just that when she mentions "undead soldiers", her expression is somewhat weird...
Luo Di didn't pay attention to this, he recalled that his team of nearly 100 people could still be attacked in the Bogdor Diocese, and he didn't dare to hold it up in his heart, so he said: "It's better to bring a hundred, choose the strongest combat power, and don't let them appear in front of others when the time comes." β
So when he left Elson City, Roddy's team immediately seemed to be much stronger. He not only brought people with him on this trip, but also brought all his "three fools" demon pets with him - the loss he suffered in the "treasure of King Solomon" made him deeply realize the importance of demon pets, so at this time, the "train king" with all the baggage on his back and pulling a luxurious carriage walked in front, Nokia was thrown in the luggage pile, and Da Duck hovered above the team while screaming...
The team bound for Leonardo da Vinci's territory set off like this.
