The temperature in November had gradually cooled down, and according to Roddy's memory, there would be a very long period of cold in the kingdom in two years, when many people died in the kingdom, some roads were completely closed and did not reopen until two years later, and some mountains even completely changed the terrain due to heavy snow, which for players meant nothing more than "new dungeons" or "update patches", but for the natives, it meant a cruel test of nature.

The bitter cold of 589 was already showing signs in 588, and after a long period of gestation, the gloomy sky finally fell with the second snow of the year, and it tended to fall more and more.

When evening came, the scenery outside the window was still clear because of the snow, and Su Lun looked at the white snow scene and felt that everything in front of him was a little unreal.

From the frustration of deciding to come to Roddy, to the comfort of sitting in his room facing the fire, everything changed in a matter of hours - the previous scene of the shop being smashed by the Wolverine mercenaries was vivid, and then a series of dreamlike turns.

But if there is one of the things that shocked him the most, it was the scene of Roddy talking to the servant.

Su Lun couldn't guess what kind of relationship he had with the duke.

The Duke of Angmar is the largest nobleman in the entire Ivota territory, and for a little-known little mercenary or a little leatherman, this is completely out of reach, but Roddy, a guy who has no aristocratic status, can let the Duke personally send a butler to pick him up, obviously Roddy said that he "saved the Duke's life" is not bragging.

But why didn't he get promoted to knighthood? Why did he have to fight with those nobles in such a broken town?

There are a lot of questions, Su Lun thought about it for a long time, and finally didn't bother to continue to think, the only thing that could be carefully pondered was the strange way Luo Di made leather goods - he thought that Luo Di was completely wasting materials, but when he thought about it, on the unfinished bracer, it seemed that some details were not less precise than his own, but because he had never used that kind of technique, he thought Luo Di was messing around.

Can he really make excellent finished products? But disrupting the magic node is equivalent to ruining the skin!

Suren shook his head and vetoed the possibility.

He hadn't told anyone about his own adventures, and the glowing stone tablet had given him some special abilities - but in other words, Suren himself didn't realize how powerful he was, he only knew that the leather he had "tanned" was far better than ordinary leather goods. But no matter how good it is, it's still quite a long way from "magic equipment".

I hadn't seen real magic equipment for many years, and Roddy looked like he was in his 20s, and even if he started practicing at the age of 10, it was estimated that it would be difficult to make any new tricks into this leather armor.

Su Lun shook his head, and finally felt that it was necessary to tell Luo Di what he thought of the equipment, otherwise it would be really distressing to waste so many good skins - he was more sincere, and he had to do it when he thought of it, and immediately walked out of the room to find Luo Di, and then found that the door of his study was locked, and after asking the maid, he turned around and walked downstairs, and when he walked through the slightly cold marble floor, Su Lun looked up and looked out the window, but happened to see a large string of black shadows on the white snow outside the window.

"The letter that the Duke of Angmar wrote to you is here, and there are some letters to prove the ownership of the territory, in order to prove the basis, I have brought this code with me, and the Duke has also lined up a special escort procession, but because I was ordered to hurry over, they are estimated to arrive later. “

Butler John, who spoke, was stating the purpose of his trip one by one, and as it was nearly evening, candles were already lit in the room because of the dim light. Roddy nodded in the flickering candlelight and replied, "I'll clean up, and I'll follow the team early tomorrow morning, thank you Steward John." “

"The matter in Elsa Village needs to be postponed for a while, and the current strength of Kig Town is estimated to be insufficient, so if you can, you can ask more people to come. “

Sodrol took a few sips of his teacup beside him, and said casually: "It is estimated that it will be very cold this winter, and we will not be able to recruit a standing army until next spring, so we can't be sloppy in this regard." “

"Standing army, Baron Sodrol, there's no sign of war in the realm of Evota, is it?"

Butler John is not as smart as the original Alpha, he can only be said to be an honest man with low knowledge, there is no problem in serving daily life, and he doesn't know anything about analyzing staff officers.

"Actually, this is an agreement between me and the Duke, when Miss Sally asked for help from the fortress, there was no response at all, which proves that the entire territory is extremely lacking in emergency forces, and now a standing army is also formed to prevent a similar situation from happening again. “

Roddy pulled out a bunch of reasons for the indiscriminate fall, although there were some reasons in it, but in fact, the army to be formed next was not for any "emergency" at all, but it was really for war.

"Lord Baron, dinner is ready. “

The maid next to him came to remind, and the three of them were ready to go to the dining table to continue talking, but as soon as they walked to the front hall, the rebuke on duty came with a piece of news that surprised everyone-

"There are 70 people outside the manor advancing in a surrounding form, and their intentions are unknown!"

Although he said that "the intention is unknown", everyone understands what it means to run to this wilderness at night to besiege the manor.

"Baron Sodrol, our Wolverine mercenary group needs an explanation from you!"

The shouts from outside the manor were quickly and clearly conveyed here, and through the gate, the dark figure under a few torches could be faintly seen still surrounding the door.

Steward John's face instantly turned ugly: "What do they want to do? Is it the remnant of the undead?"

"Probably. “

Roddy grinned, but his smile was a little chilly: he knew better what he needed to do for this kind of fool over and over again, and waved his hand, "Open the door." “

Rebuke immediately carried out his order mechanically, although it was only a simple sentence, but in the face of those heavily armed mercenaries, the scout who came to open the door did not even show a look of fear, as if he had not seen them from beginning to end - this obedience did not bring much deterrence to the mercenaries, but only made Leslie, who was standing in the center of the line, feel a pang in his heart.

However, when he saw the five knights in the manor who came over in full armor, the tension and anxiety in his heart completely disappeared.
