"Ralph is missing?"

"Yes, sir. Evta's side lost contact with him. ”

For a loyal deceased, the meaning of "lost contact" is self-evident - the Count of Mirno is not a fool with a fluke mentality, and there is no such thing as "coincidence" in his eyes, so he immediately asks: "What mission was he on before he disappeared?"

The butler was more familiar with these matters, and he took out a black-covered notebook, flipped to one of the pages, and brought it to the duke: "In the last reply, he said that he had succeeded in getting Viscount Anru to send someone to deal with the Baron Roddy and Baron Sodrore. ”

"Roddy and... Who?"

Count Mirno was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had misheard.

"Baron Rodi, Lord of Elson City, and Baron Sodrore, Lord of Parr. ”

"I remember the name, the runaway kid from the Vijeri family seems to be called Sodrore... That's right, it's supposed to be the name!"

The family that he destroyed with his own hands, Mirno is a good one, but now he is not sure of the identity of the other party, so he immediately ordered: "Investigate them! ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"No matter who they are, whoever dares to touch me will pay the price..."

Mirno was not one to shout in the heat of excitement, his voice was still calm, but his gaze was much darker - after the quill in his hand was once again filled with ink, there were a few more words on the unfinished letter:

"Baron Roddy and Baron Sodlore of the Western Territories have secretly obstructed your men, and it has been confirmed that one person has been killed, and the follow-up results are under investigation, and your most loyal Mirno will hand in the investigation report as soon as possible..."

While the Count of Mirnore was scheming with Rodi and Sodlore, the procession, after a long journey of more than a thousand kilometers, finally reached the city of Hollier in the territory of Evotard.

Along the way, the team didn't encounter any robbers who stood in the way - in other words, they didn't see even a few people.

It's almost February, but the whole of Ivota is still as silent as ice. The snowflakes in the sky are sometimes large and sometimes small, as if they will never stop. It is not as earth-shattering as an earthquake or tsunami, but the damage it causes is no less severe than other natural disasters.

"If it goes down another month, I'm afraid the grain harvest will be seriously affected, and this year's Evta is really sad..."

The villages around Hollier City were dotted with them, but now they were completely white, and there was no trace of human life at all, and Sodrore sighed, his tone full of worry.

"It's basically our limit to be able to stabilize the price of materials, and it's useless to think about other things. Roddy dusted off the snow from his cloak, looked at the quiet gates of Hollier in the distance, and exclaimed, "I will take the gifts for Titus and the Wellington Knights, and most importantly..."

"Let them teach this group of veterans, I know what you mean. ”

Roddy originally wanted the team to rest in Hollier City for a few days before leaving, but Sodlore belonged to a complete "doer" and had no interest in staying in Hollier City to socialize - "I directly dragged them to find the two knights, and went back to Parr to get it when I was done, and if there was no accident, I came according to the training plan." ”

"Okay. ”

Roddy nodded, and then found Nata and Kaisha walking over with two horses, he raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but Akasha preempted him-

"Nata is homesick and ready to go back to Elsa Village. I happened to have nothing to do, so I went with her. ”

"Huh?"

Roddy is a little stupid, Nata may be homesick, but she will never take the initiative to ask for leave to return, so...

After being stunned for a moment, he immediately understood the reason: Akasha didn't want to go to Hollier City with him!

Although she is willing to accept Sally's existence, it definitely does not mean that she is willing to engage in any "sister-like-sister" drama with Sally - just kidding, "Harmony Harem" is just a good wish like "world peace", forcibly letting women who like the same man be together... The devil knows what the result is.

Holier City is Sally's territory, and Akasha is naturally not interested in finding it, so she pulls Nata and runs away with her, saying that it is "out of sight and out of mind".

However, compared to Sally, who is stronger in everything, Akasha is obviously smarter, because she knows how to take care of Roddy's emotions, and would rather be wronged than embarrass him - having figured this out, Roddy feels that he owes too much, but he is stupid, and he doesn't know what to say for a long time to comfort.

"Okay, I don't like you because of a few sweet words, huh... Her convoy is coming to pick you up, and we'll go first. ”

He said so, but Akasha took a step forward and leaned into Roddy's ear and said, "You are not allowed to stay here for too long, I will wait for you in Elsa Village, and... There are some things that can't be preempted by her. ”

Speaking of this, her face was inexplicably ruddy, and then she closed her eyes and raised her face. Roddy didn't make a fool of himself, and kissed it decisively - the two showed affection without any regard for the people present, causing the corners of Nata's mouth to twitch several times in a row, while the veterans turned their heads with sighs and complained to Sodrore about when they could solve the problem of the single dog...

"Look at your little bit of prowess, go to Parr and lead me to invite you to drink, and when the time comes, will you hear it according to your ability?"

"Good!"

"Long live the Commander!"

"Commander, when are you looking for a wife?

"Smack!"

"Let you talk so much nonsense, let's go, line up!

Seeing the stupid big barbarians follow Sodrore away, Roddy and Akasha couldn't help but laugh. And the little priest didn't continue to rest, she took a deep breath, as if to remember the smell of Roddy, and then turned around very simply, pulling Nata and embarking on another path...

Roddy and his bags were left on the road in an instant - oh, and not far away, the soul-ugly "train king" and Nokia, who was stupid and still sleeping with his eyes closed.

Counting the pintail snipe that is still in Elson City, the appearance of Roddy's "three stupid" demon pets really makes him feel extremely painful...

As soon as he gave the order to let the two fools stay outside the city and wander by themselves, the procession of the Duke's Palace came to him, and after the wide and comfortable carriage slowly stopped, the butler John politely stepped forward to greet him, and his eyes were very regular without looking into the distance, let alone asking the whereabouts of the others.

Luo Di looked at the team and asked curiously, "The Duke didn't come?"

After all, it was outside, and Roddy felt that honorific titles were a must.

"Miss... Uh, Mademoiselle said she was waiting for you at the mansion. ”

John's face was unnatural.

"Oh? Okay. ”

Roddy was a little surprised, but there was no need to react, and he stepped into the wide and comfortable carriage, but as soon as the wooden carriage door closed, he was sturdy and fell to the side of the box seat.

The familiar scent was in her nose, Sally's soft body was clinging to his chest, her figure was not as plump and elastic as Akasha's, nor as gentle as Akasha's hug... But the youthful atmosphere is incomparable to anyone.

However, she put her arm around Roddy's neck... It seems like pushing too hard.

"If you call me Duke, don't call me by name, do you deliberately make such a fuss, don't you? After going out for so long, have you forgotten about me? Ahhh

Before she finished speaking, she bit down on Roddy's neck, and Roddy screamed "ouch", but Sally was obviously jealous, and she didn't say anything at all, "hum chirp" bit him like a puppy...

"Harem Harmony" is!

Roddy roared again in his heart.

"It hurts, it hurts, it's light, didn't I come all the way... Except for a day at Benjamin's place, it's a non-stop - hey, hey, hey!"

In fact, Sally's bite is not painful, but at this time, not admitting softness is completely looking for guilt, and after Roddy's various begging for mercy, Sally finally let go of her mouth angrily.

But when she raised her gaze, she realized that she was riding on Roddy's waist, which made Sally's cheeks suddenly red like fire. But after the relationship between the two was established, she was no longer as thin-skinned as before, and now it was a dark and enclosed space like a carriage, and Sally was a lot bolder - so instead of getting up, she leaned down and directly blocked Roddy's mouth with her lips...

Just kissed Akasha, and now kisses Sally, Wen Xiang Nephrite takes turns to hug, this kind of thing Luo Di really didn't even dare to dream about before, but now it's so logical...

What a blissful trouble!

But before he could come up with any smug thoughts, Sally reached out and pinched his face, and pinched him vigorously: "You are proud! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Hiss... None of these two girls are stupid.

Don't look at Sally's acting as if she is very rude, in fact, this deliberately ruthless "coquettishness" is completely an emotional catharsis, otherwise she would have burst into tears - Sally's feelings for Roddy are more "attachment" and "dependence", so she simply sat on Roddy's lap all the way, like a little lion who declared her territory, and was unwilling to go down until the carriage stopped.

That kind of longing after a long time of separation can't be completely eliminated by ten minutes of chatting.

"Look at you, your voice will be hoarse if you continue to talk about it, can you go to the study and drink some water? ”

The duchess, who was usually extremely strong, now hung on her body like a koala, and Roddy hugged her down after talking badly, and after sorting out her clothes for a long time, she stepped out of the carriage one after the other.

Sally naturally had to maintain her demeanor in front of outsiders, but after entering the study and closing the door, she returned to her "original state" and continued to stick to Roddy to tell the bits and pieces of the past few months.

Which viscount has been manipulated by himself, which baron has no eyes to pursue himself every day, how much has the price of food fluctuated in Hollier City...

Sally spoke for three hours, and when she was tired of talking, she leaned on Roddy's shoulder and whispered, and at last she was silent—and when Roddy looked down, she realized that she had fallen asleep.

Looking at the much thinner face, Roddy kissed her forehead and gently carried her to the bed in the bedroom.
