51. Chapter 51: Learning
In early May, the village of Nolan.
After seeing Roddy fighting the wolf cavalry, Sodlore traveled to the village of Nolan and waited for the return of the vanished captain. His appearance surprised Rugercart and the others, but Sodrore only said that he had something to discuss with Roddy, so they didn't say anything more, so he waited like this.
And the original second lieutenant Sodin, after seeing Luger and the others return in the first few days, actually wanted to order them to kill some more orcs to earn merit for themselves, as if in his eyes these scouts went out to kill orcs as natural as a farmer went out to plant and harvest wheat - naturally, the consequence of this kind of second order was that he was directly beaten by Luge with a group of scouts.
Once a subordinate develops arrogance, an incompetent boss is always the first to be unlucky.
The scene of the brutal assault startled Sodrore. After all, Sodin's position is similar to his own, and he can't imagine the scene of being beaten by his subordinates, but it is not easy to persuade, so in the end he had to drag the second lieutenant Sodin, who was beaten and fainted, to a cool place and bandage it briefly, which can be regarded as doing his "personnel".
Then he found out, I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, Sodin was beaten stupid.
When he woke up, Sodin basically didn't do anything but giggle at people and eat and sleep. At this point, Luger, Carter and the others naturally put on a look of irrelevance, Sodrol simply didn't say a word, paid out of his own pocket to treat these scouts to a good meal, held a wine glass and drank with everyone, and finally called the scouts brothers, and said that he didn't see anything...
As a result, Sodlore, who had been outside the group, gradually integrated into this small circle of Nolan Village.
After drinking too much, the soldiers naturally had to engage in a competition before they could proceed, and when Ruge, who had the best swordsmanship, was easily defeated by the other party, they gradually understood that this little-known second lieutenant seemed... It's not an easy role.
Ruger and Carter admired each other's swordsmanship, and Sodrore was a man and a man who did not leak anything, so the days of living together felt that the days passed quickly, and on the seventh day of May in the year 588 of the Elon calendar, Sodrore finally waited for the person he was waiting for.
Roddy's figure appeared at the entrance of Nolan Village at 10 p.m.
At sunset, when he walked into the village wearing a leather armor and a black cloak, the villagers who wanted to raise their hands to greet him even hesitated to speak - the sharp shape of the ranger suit was really fierce and abnormal, which made Roddy completely break away from the original "little scout" temperament, and the six pack horses behind him loaded with goods made people think that this was a rich and powerful foot merchant.
Roddy didn't care about that, just put on his hood, pulled his horses to the scout's cafeteria, and strode in.
"Let me tell you, if Lao Tzu hadn't dodged quickly at that time, that bastard would have smashed my head with a stick-"
"Carter, stop blowing, just like you, the orc is ten meters away from you, and you say he can almost pick you!"
At that time, the equipment was not good, my sword was curled, and the leather armor was broken, and it was a death to be touched by an orc, of course I had to stay away, right?"
At this time, the scouts in the house were drinking and chatting loudly, and Carter, who was bragging about how he had hacked the orcs, was holding the ale glass in an exaggerated manner, but when his eyes swept to the door, his movements suddenly froze like an electric shock.
His eyebrows were twisted together, and he raised the wine glass in his hand and pointed forward, opening his mouth, but he couldn't speak for a long time - the scouts who sensed that something was wrong stopped moving, turned their heads en masse, and then instantly showed a look of astonishment as if they had seen an alien.
"Tut-tut, I haven't seen you for a few days, and no one knows me?"
Luo Di lifted his hood, hehe smiled, and without waiting for any response from these comrades-in-arms, he directly said loudly in a commanding tone: "Don't talk nonsense, announce a message first!"
"Smack!"
Almost instantly, all the scouts reflexively stood upright, the crisp sound of the heel of their boots striking echoed through the room, leaving Sodrore, who was still seated, stunned.
After being in Nolan Village for so long, these scouts seemed to be no different from his own men in Finks Village except for the occasional arrogance, but at this point, within seconds of Roddy's appearance, he noticed... This group of serious scouts seemed to suddenly become so strange.
Absolute discipline, obedience and respect, something Saudrol had never seen before.
"Ahem, don't be so serious, that... For the sake of making it easier for you to slayer the orcs, and for us to have some self-protection in the future... I've purchased a batch of new equipment for you!"
"Bang!"
Throwing the heavy package he was carrying on the ground, Roddy tore it open, revealing a dozen swords with sheaths inside.
"Everybody!"
Roddy's words were like a hammer, and the soldiers were almost suffocated by the smash.
His words are undoubtedly in the eyes of ordinary people, and the captain pays for the soldiers to buy equipment, right?
Let the scouts understand it on their knees... How could a guy who was neither a noble lord nor a wealthy merchant afford so much money?
Even the cheapest swords and armor are not something that ordinary people can afford, how did Roddy, a scout who only gets a military salary, buy these things?
Sodrore's eyes widened at the packages, and he swallowed stiffly, even the idea of saying hello was forgotten for a moment.
Lu Ge raised his eyebrows, reached out and took out a long sword from the package, and looked at the sharp blade in the candlelight, but there was a moment of speech: "Luo... Did you sack Conceton Fortress?"
He is naturally knowledgeable, and he can see at a glance that these quality equipment are absolutely excellent, and the production level is comparable to or even surpasses the regular army soldiers of Fortress Conceton!
"Don't ask nonsense, everyone has it, there's more outside, everyone take it and try it!
Roddy did not answer Ruger's question, but shouted as he looked at the soldiers who came up in front of him—his words were immediately answered, and the soldiers were so excited that they rushed up and dispensed their equipment, and then rushed out of the house with a scream. In the end, only Ruger, Carter, and Sodlore were left unmoved.
"Don't be nervous, things are coming from the right place, but there is no one for Sodin—by the way, where has Sodin gone?"
"Well, that's... Ahem, let's explain to the captain for a while. Ensign Sodrol has been waiting for a long time, so would you like to talk to him first?"
At this time, the atmosphere was relaxed, and Carter did not have the seriousness he had just had, he squeezed his eyes at Ruger, and then walked out of the house with the latter. Leaving Sodrol with a somewhat complicated expression at this time.
And looking at this ensign, Roddy seemed to naturally open the conversation-
"I'm surprised you're here. ”
He unbuttoned his cloak, the black leather armor was conspicuous and abnormal, and his tone did not hide the surprise - to be honest, in the face of the legion commander in his memory, his current mood was actually a little tangled.
It was only a chance encounter in the village of Finks, but it was obviously not a coincidence to meet each other here at this time, and Roddy's mind was racing to think about the reason why Sodrore was here... In vain, I found that I had no idea what was wrong.
Sodrore thought about it, but finally decided not to spare any bends, and said loudly: "That... Let's be honest, I saw the scene of your battle with the orcs...... The corpses of ten wolf cavalrymen, miraculous archery... Ruger: They've proven that you do have what it takes. ”
"So?"
Roddy narrowed his eyes, and immediately began to deduce in his heart what the information that Sodlore knew represented - the other party saw the battlefield where he was fighting, and perhaps he could already indirectly deduce that he was trying to save Sally.
It's just that standing in front of him now is the Legion Commander Sodrol in memory, and one thing that Roddy knows very well is... This powerful general, who fought against the corrupt aristocracy of the kingdom, once hated a traitor like Francis.
And it was the young ensign in front of him who ordered Francis to be hanged in the first place!
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the other party should not have any formal conflict with himself.
"So, I think I can understand what is going on in the Roussiflon family," Södlorre, who was a head taller than Roddy, looked at him with a rather respectful tone, "I admire your choice to come forward at such a time, and really prevent it from happening—something I thought about but couldn't do." Come to think of it, Miss Sally should be fine, right?"
The means of communication in this era were not developed, and no one in Nolan Village at this time knew that Sally had become a "candidate priest". However, because of this, Roddy has a more intuitive understanding of Sodrore's thoughtfulness...
This thing is a demon, so it's been renamed Sherlock Holmes.
The shock in his heart was hidden, and Roddy exhaled and said, "Miss Sally, naturally, there will be no accidents, but what I want to understand is, what is the reason for you to come here? Even if Finks Village disappears, I'm afraid your position will not have anything to do with Nolan Village." ”
Hearing this, Sodrol showed a slight hesitation, and finally said, "You can kill so many orcs, and you can also ensure the safety of Miss Sally... I think maybe the strongest knights under these lords on the border are not as strong as you. So, the purpose of my coming here is really to learn -- to learn. ”
Learn?
Roddy's eyebrows suddenly rose to his hair, and all the answers he had thought of were completely disrupted by Sodlore's words. At this moment, his mind was indeed confused - this strong man who had broken through level 60 in his impression would run in front of him... Say you want to "learn" with yourself?
Did he take the wrong medicine or did I not wake up?
However, Roddy's thinking quickly turned around - although the current Sodlore was stronger than those scout soldiers, he was only a very low-level second lieutenant after all, and if he was strong, he was not strong at all, and he was afraid that he would be overstretched if he encountered two orcs.
And what about yourself? After wearing a level 4 superb purple suit, the attributes skyrocketed several times, and it was like kicking Karen Novice Village, and there was no rival in the small village of punching orcs.
There is such a contrast, a regimental commander who is destined to achieve amazing things in the future says that he wants to learn from himself, and this kind of opportunity is in front of him, what should he do?
