Chapter 593: The Sacrifice of the Dead (Part 1)
Roddy, who has a strong physique, finally falls asleep in Akasha's embrace - his mind is relaxed and his mind is empty all the time, and in the end, his body is almost emptied... Anyway, when he opened his eyes again, the sunlight outside the window was already shining at the foot of the bed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning.
After staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, Roddy realized that his arms were holding a warm body, and his palms were holding a soft part. He blinked, but he didn't move again, for fear of waking Akasha, who had been tired all night.
Taking a step from a boy to a man, Roddy found that his mentality immediately changed. At least in terms of "thoughtfulness", it is much more carefully considered than before. However, Akasha was obviously almost asleep, and when she woke up, she naturally turned around and snuggled into his arms, looking at Roddy with sleepy eyes, as if to confirm that it was not her dream.
The plump body was in his arms, and Roddy felt that his body was a little out of control - what about being hollowed out? Why did he recover blood so quickly?
Fortunately, Akasha was really tired and didn't dare to continue to make any over-the-top moves. It took a lot of perseverance for Roddy to get out of bed, and he really understood what the concept of "from now on the king will not reign early". And Akasha is like a new daughter-in-law, even if she has crossed this hurdle, she is still a little shy when Roddy helps to dress. However, she is more of a settled stability, and her inadvertent intimate movements are more natural.
Of course, when she was dressed in thin clothes to express her intimacy, Luo Di felt a little unable to hold the fire, and almost corrected this little girl on the spot. And after some washing, Luo Di can be said to be refreshed and in a comfortable mood, and he walks with a tiger. Akasha is now at level 28, and there is no difference between a healing technique and usual, but there is a little more charm between her eyebrows and eyes.
By the time he walked to the diner, lunch had already been brought to him by the maid, and Camilla, Nefi, Nata, and Melinthra were all seated. Melinthera raised her eyebrows and snorted, "You're hard enough, tired, aren't you? β
Roddy coughed twice when he said this, and Akasha next to him suddenly blushed. But Nefi apparently didn't understand what it meant, and Camilla was in poor spirits holding the bread, with a few unfolded pieces of parchment in her hand, completely looking like she was "busy with politics".
Nata lowered her head and drank the soup, no different from usual.
"It's a good day! I'm starving. β
Roddy sat down directly, glanced at the listless Camilla, and said strangely: "What's wrong?
"My mother read the letter all night, and I told her not to sleep. β
Nefi added next to him, glared at Camila and stopped talking. The latter picked up the parchment paper beside him, handed it to Luo Di and said, "This is the first edition of the 'newspaper' made according to your request, you can take a look." β
Seeing the obvious appearance of her dark circles, Luo Di didn't dare to say more, picked up the newspaper and swept it.
This large piece of parchment has an area of two sheets of A4, and because the current amount of paper production is not large, it is folded in total. There was no such thing as "printing" on the continent, so Roddy asked Camilla to find a craftsman to do the mimeographing of movable type printing - because Bringar was similar to English, it was a language of alphabet spelling, so it was much easier than printing Chinese characters. With the help of a mage from the Magic Research Department, this matter was completely completed in two days.
The headline of the newspaper was black and bold, and it read "Evta's victory, 10,000 orcs are beheaded!", and the following content stated the course of the war, the results, the number of casualties, the number of prisoners, and the fact that the orcs had escaped from an objective point of view, occupying the entire first page. Turning to the rest of the content, it briefly describes several tax cuts that Everta has implemented so far, and also makes a series of explanations and comparisons on the yield of farmland irrigated by Elson's "artificial rainfall".
Then there is the title of "Bergen's Territory Suffers Heavy Losses, and the Food Production of the Year Is Worrying", which briefly describes the name of the town where the Orcs attacked, and said that the central region of the Karen Kingdom has been severely damaged by the Orcs, and it is urgent to make industrial adjustments to restore productivity, otherwise winter will inevitably lead to famine.
Reasoned and well-founded, all aspects of writing down what they wanted to express, Roddy drank a glass of milk with satisfaction, and praised: "Well written! The next version will be out in a week, but it's too much trouble for you to do anything. This thing will be an industry in the future, and an editor-in-chief needs to be recruited to check it. You see that those bards or aristocratic butlers are suitable for this, and they can be pulled over and set up the "Age of Cullen" newspaper..."
"Hmm. β
Camila nodded, bowing her head to eat.
Roddy stopped his mouth a little embarrassed, and next to him, Milein Sera rolled his eyes: "I haven't seen Houdini in the past few days, why did he go?"
"I'm in a hurry to pick a port location, and when the meeting in Hollier City is over, we'll go straight over there to find him. β
After a few bites of food, Roddy got up and said to Akasha before leaving the table: "There will be something for you, and the magic tower will look for me in an hour." β
"Oh, okay. β
Akasha smiled like a flower, and Camilla next to her lowered eyes were completely polar.
Roddy had scheduled to go to Hollier City in the afternoon, but before leaving, he felt that there was something to be done in advance.
After reaching the top level, the "Undead Slayer" provides a skill called [Undead Sacrifice], which has the effect of shattering, condensing, and re-condensing the souls of undead creatures into inlaid crystals.
At the beginning, Augustine's avatar disguised himself as an orc and fought with him, and after defeat, the soul crystal was sealed and preserved by Roddy. Now that he had this skill, Roddy was curious to see what it could refine.
When he walked up to the Magic Tower of Pachar, the mages who came in and out all saluted the city lord, and when he looked out from the magic tower, he could see at a glance the soldiers who were training in the barracks and the Teflin - the number of Teflin who had entered the army had reached more than fifty, and it was obvious that Luther had done a good job of teaching lazy people. According to the [map bar], Nora and five other Tevelyns with special skills did not participate in training at this time, but took classes in the newly established "Elson CIA", trying to learn the language and customs of the Karen Kingdom.
The first thing to do in the next few days was to consolidate the functions of the intelligence department and gradually issue orders to the offices of the Parr Consulate comptoir in various places. Nothing is rushed, but with the framework, it can be built slowly.
Roddy expects the post-war economic recovery to slow down for at least half a year, but with the Cullen royal family watching, he will have to solve the problem himself.
"But it's easier than fighting..."
He muttered a few words to himself, walked into the laboratory, took out the soul fragments stored in the barrier, and then activated the "Sacrifice of the Dead" on the test bench.
Originally, there was still the consciousness of Augustine's incarnation in the soul fragment, but when Roddy's hands came out of the gray-white light, the slight vibration of the soul fragment obviously showed the fear of this consciousness - he did not hesitate at all, and in the process of continuing to cast the spell, he directly tore this soul fragment into energy fragments, and then reorganized and crystallized...
This spell was completely guided by the system to be cast automatically, and Roddy didn't understand how profound what he had just done, he reached out and picked up the crystal that seemed to be a transparent diamond that had condensed at the end, opened the status bar, and observed its attributes:
