It didn't take long for "Brother Roddy", who had become a little mysterious in Nefi's eyes, to come over with a plate.

Still with that silent look, Roddy put the fragrant grilled fish on the table and said, "I made it simple, I don't know if you like it or not..."

Having said that, Roddy obviously didn't mean to ask for advice, he sat casually next to him, and when he turned his gaze, he found that Nephi took a deep breath, and then looked at him with a very strange gaze...

"How?"

"Brother Roddy, you will... Divination?"

"No, it won't. ”

"So... What about prophecy?"

"And this kind of spell? I haven't heard of it. ”

Roddy shook his head and picked up the fork: "I'm just a soldier, and the things I cook are very rough, not as good as those chefs in aristocratic families, so... Let's make do with it. ”

Neffie had a feeling of incomprehension, for she hadn't told anyone else that she liked grilled fish the most—but Roddy had apparently guessed her right mind once again, and it seemed... He really didn't ask anyone beforehand!

Naifie wanted to say something, but the smell of the grilled fish really tempted her, so much so that she swallowed her saliva in a shameful "Goo"...

"I'm afraid you don't like the burnt taste, so I grilled the fish more tender and added some flinca spices. ”

Roddy's originally somewhat wooden expression seemed to be much softer in the candlelight, "Don't say so much... Eat it. ”

Neffie didn't want to ask any questions at this point, because even the spices he used were his favorite, and for a gluttonous snacker, these doubts could be completely forgotten... Picking up the knife and fork, she stared straight at the grilled fish and said, "That... Brother Roddy, you're welcome!"

"Whew, whew, it's hot, it's hot..."

"Uh-huh!"

This may be the real sense of solitude after the two "reunited", Naifi ate happily, Roddy looked at her quietly on the side, and suddenly felt... Even if Nephie doesn't have the feelings she once had for herself, she will feel happy in her heart by guarding her so silently, cooking some meals she likes to eat, and watching her smile all the time.

He finally showed a little smile, the meal was lively and lively, Neffi finally let go of the tension in his heart, drank grape juice cup after cup, ate his mouth full of oil, and even covered his mouth and burped...

And because of the slight fermentation of grape juice and some alcohol, Xiao Nefi's face was red when he drank, and his big eyes became blurred unconsciously.

Roddy didn't expect her to get drunk with grape juice, and when he saw Nephi staggering from his chair and trying to jump off - he hurriedly got up and reached out to help, but Nephie staggered, and the moment he fell, he grabbed it, and then gently placed it on the ground.

Little Lori's light body seemed to have no weight, Luo Di smelled the familiar fragrance on her body, took a deep breath, as if he vaguely saw her delicate and delicate appearance when she grew up, but he still tried to suppress the memories that came to mind, and said softly: "Be careful, this-"

"Camilla, Roddy, you..."

At this moment, suddenly a voice came from the hall, and Roddy turned his head to find Sally, dressed in a priest's robe, who had just entered the room, looking at him with a strange expression.

Roddy looked down and saw that Nephie's entire body was lying on his arm, like a swing, trying to swing his feet off the ground.

"Drunk with grape juice..."

He spread his hands helplessly, and then naturally helped Nefi up - Sally suddenly smiled, came to Nefi's side, and pinched her face: "You can really do it!"

Naifi was completely confused, and Sally came at the right time, half holding and half-supporting little Lori to wash up briefly and then put her in the bedroom, and when she went downstairs, she found that Luo Di was already waiting for her in front of the fireplace, and the brewed milk tea had a faint aroma, and the atmosphere under the candlelight was quite warm.

This feeling is quite amazing, and it makes Sally seem to see herself many years later: after a tiring day, she can sit with the person she likes and chat and drink tea, such a life must be good, right?

"Have you had dinner?"

"Well, with the Pope. ”

Sally tried to keep her tone flat, but after all, such a thing was extremely glorious, and there was always some pride on her face that could not be hidden—and after saying this, she sat down next to Roddy: "Don't laugh at me... To be honest, it feels like a dream now. ”

Roddy handed over the teacup, "Just having dinner with a bunch of old men, huh—they've put a lot of burden on you?"

Sally raised her eyebrows slightly, but then she was also accustomed to Roddy's political acumen, nodded and said: "His Majesty the Pope has decided to award me the 'Silver Cross', and Lord Rubens said that if I stay in the 'Temple' to continue my studies, I can get more individual teaching and guidance from the bishop, and I can directly become the bishop of the convent after three years." And... They took the scepter up. ”

This is expected, Roddy hopes that Sally will not hold the artifact, he knows better than anyone else the allusion of "guilt", and it is far better to let the entire sect take the risk than she alone.

Although the artifact is good, it also has to be killed, and Roddy has no pity for this.

Nodding, he just wanted to ask something else, but heard Sally's voice lower slightly: "But... I don't think it's fair to you. ”

"I see what you mean," Roddy smiled, "the sect has always ignored me, so they think they have treated me badly?" Actually, I have already discussed with Bishop Rubens in advance, so it is not that they deliberately ignore me, so if you say this, will you feel less burdened?"

Rubens had already promised to send a bishop to Elson City, build a church, and provide a series of material support, so Roddy didn't care about his superficial commendation.

But his words made Sally's mouth open in surprise: "Then, why didn't you say it earlier?

"Uh..."

Roddy was stunned, wanting to laugh, but suddenly some strange emotions flowed in his heart - the girl in front of him dared to argue with the Pope for him...

"I said how His Majesty the Pope and Master Rubens laughed at each other for a long time... Well, but in the end they didn't think I was wrong, so let me give this to you. ”

Sally pouted and took out a piece of letter with the cross-key emblem, and the corner of Roddy's eyes twitched, she didn't expect that she actually won an "extra reward" for herself from the Pope!

He took the letter and read it, and a row of messages popped up at the same moment in the [Character Status Bar]:

"The title of 'The Pious' has been upgraded. ”

"The title of 'Captain of the Templar Guard' has been upgraded. ”

"Gain 5,000 Rosicrucian reputation. ”

"Earn 85,000 XP. ”

【The Pious】

The reputation of "Rosicrucius" is automatically increased to [Reverence], and it has the treatment of a clergyman, which is equivalent to [Auxiliary Bishop].

Increases the effect by 50% when receiving a Divine Blessing (it remains unchanged after switching).

This is the second upgrade of the title, in addition to the blessing effect is increased by 10% again, and the treatment has been increased from "priest" to "auxiliary bishop", which means that Roddy has almost become a "pseudo-high-level" outside the "Rosicrucian" sect.

The Auxiliary Bishop has the right to transfer clergy at the level of "priest" and below within the diocese, and has the right to use more than 90% of the material resources in the diocese, especially the right to share the core information network within the denomination!

This means that Roddy has entered the upper echelons of the "Rosicrucian" as an "outsider", and although he has no decision-making power, he represents the absolute trust of the sect in him.

And another title has also changed dramatically after being upgraded:

【Templar Captain】

When title is active: When leading the Temple Guardians into battle, increase all ATK by 10%.

Collateral Effect: Initiates a parish-level recruitment process and mobilizes the District Temple Guards to assist in the battle within thirty days, up to a maximum of 400 troops.

Rubens once explicitly asked Roddy in a letter if he would like to join the "Rosicrucius", to which Roddy simply refused - he did not need any organization or power to restrain himself. At this time, the upgrade of this title proves that Roddy's current status is no longer to the point where "Rosacecrutic" is simply "valued".

To put it simply, the "Rosicrucius" now even has some "dependence" on him, which is why he has been given such a power of trust!

With the title of "Auxiliary Bishop" and the title of "Captain Templar", Roddy is almost equivalent to a bishop with real power.

Roddy glanced at the [Reputation Bar], there was still some distance from "worship", and the experience points were enough to upgrade to a "basic level", but these upgrades were negligible compared to the two titles - and the most important thing was... These things were all things that Sally had earned for herself.

"Sally, I-"

The candlelight flickered, and Roddy looked at the girl in front of him, and was a little speechless for a while. He wanted to thank him, but he felt that he shouldn't be so polite. Sally, on the other hand, lowered her eyes, took a sip from her teacup, and did not speak.

Stupid wood, you don't know how to represent?

Sally suddenly had some anticipation in her heart, and such an environment where the two of them were alone seemed to be a suitable opportunity to...

She inevitably thought of some heart-pounding scenes, and when she noticed that she was still wearing a priest's robe, she felt an inexplicable sense of excitement in her heart...

Roddy felt a little hot, and reached out to loosen his collar - but just as the atmosphere between the two was tense to the extreme, there was a sudden sound of talking at the door-

"Sister Sally, where is the toilet? I want to pee..."

Nephie stood there in a baggy nightgown, looking half-eyed and "sleepwalking".

Her appearance directly broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the room, and Luo Di immediately coughed dryly, got up and said, "You take her and rest early." ”

Sally couldn't cry or laugh, but she also understood that the two of them might not be able to talk about anything if they continued to stay here, so she got up and pulled the still confused Nefi to the toilet, and then led her all the way upstairs, and just as she covered Nafi with the quilt, little Lori said dreamily: "Brother Roddy is so good..."

"Silly boy, where's he?"

Sally knew that she was confused at this time, so she asked casually, but unexpectedly, Nephie closed her eyes and whispered back: "He knows what my favorite snack is, and he also made my favorite grilled fish, it is so delicious..."

Really?

Sally was a little surprised, but soon she felt a little jealous: it was normal for Nephie to save herself in battle at such a young age, and Roddy took good care of it.

"Little gluttonous cat. ”

She reached out and brushed Nafi's long, fiery red hair, then turned to leave.
