Elon 588 calendar, November 30.

Camila stopped in front of an unnamed hill, looked around at the landscape, and then trudged up an unrecognizable path.

Because of the "light feather technique", Camilla left only a shallow footprint on every step on the snow, and her whole body seemed to be half-suspended in the air, and she effortlessly ascended the mountain. It only took ten minutes to reach the destination: a stone ruin halfway up the mountain.

It is more than 60 kilometers away from the nearest village, and there is no trace of it all year round, and the stone ruins in front of you are not human relics, but they belong to the high elf civilization. Because of the perennial exposure to sunlight and air, several of the originally delicate sculptures have obscured their facial features. Camila looked at the rubble for a moment, then turned her gaze to the group of figures who didn't fit in here.

They were all dressed similarly to Camilla's, with thick cloaks and hoods drawn. More than a dozen people stood there in silence, as if collectively waiting for something silently.

"Camilla. ”

She opened her mouth to declare her name, then raised her hand and made some kind of courtesy gesture, bowing slightly.

"You are the youngest official member of the Order?" The guy standing in the middle of the crowd had a cold voice, and Camilla could only see his slightly pointed chin, but she didn't know that the other party's gaze was full of scrutiny at this time - he didn't speak Bringar, but High Elf: "I'm your captain Spark, now back to the team, on standby." ”

"Yes, Master Spark. ”

Camila bowed, then stepped aside silently.

After a while, two more people arrived, and Spark, who was dressed in black robes, glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "The time has come, and now there are fifteen people in total, that is to say..."The task arranged by the 'Holy Order' this time needs fifteen of us to complete." ”

He paused, his gaze swept over the hooded figures, and continued to say in an ancient tone: "The Holy Society has sensed the signs that the 'Time Standstill Enchantment' is about to cease functioning, so we must go to control this city as soon as possible and search for the whereabouts of the 'Charged Crystal'. What should have been said has already been said in the letter, so I won't talk nonsense, now... Come with me. ”

Camila's gaze narrowed back and forth - even though everyone around her was hooded and didn't even exchange names, as members of the Holy Order, she was sure they all had a common identity: descendants of the High Elves.

That's right, everyone present had the blood of the High Elves on their bodies.

The same goes for Camilla.

The full name of the "Holy Order" is "San Vallano High Elf Noble Council", and the name is stinky and long, apparently inherited from the former High Elves. It is different from the "Rosicrucius", a sect that has expanded through missions, but it is a small organization with a strict assessment system and a way of inheritance - its existence is unknown, and its members are hidden in various parts of the mainland...

For example, Camilla, in the twelve years she has been in Mogra Village, who would have thought that she would be an "Arcanist" whose strength has reached the fifth level?

Although there were only 15 people on this trip, none of them were mediocre. The winding mountain road that normal people have to walk down for hours has become a smooth road that can be glided in a straight line under their feet. Ten minutes later, the group left the base of the mountain and entered the edge of the bordering forest.

"Arrived in Elson in two weeks. ”

The leader pointed at Camilla, "Young man, get ahead of the way." ”

Opening a path in the forest is physically demanding, Camila frowned slightly, and then whispered. She knew exactly why Sparky had chosen herself: she was the youngest of all the members, and she hadn't been involved in the Congregation for a long time... To some extent, this should be regarded as a beating of "veterans" against "new recruits".

Although there are some grievances, it is not unacceptable. The "Holy Meeting" system is strict, and it is completely crushed by officials and universities, and Camilla knows the truth very well, so she did not make any arguments. She silently walked at the front of the group, opening her way with arcane art.

However, while moving forward silently, the discussion behind him seemed indifferent and slightly sarcastic.

"This is the Camila who became a member of the election at the age of 18?"

"Heh... has lived in seclusion in the countryside with his children for more than ten years, no matter how talented he is, there is no light at all now. ”

"Is it that she rejected the exceptional promotion of the 'Holy Order'?"

"Who knows, maybe she just said it herself. ”

......

December 1, Kig Town.

Countdown to Judgment on the Throne of Bones: 131 days.

The chaotic town has been restored to order, and Sodrore was born into a noble family, and he was exposed to many similar things when he was a child, and he was very thoughtful enough to get these things done.

After the Wolverine mercenary group was cleared, not only the local mercenary group or other forces, but even the lord knights who originally belonged to the Viscount of Tranca were basically honest, and sent letters expressing submission and a little "tax" to show their sincerity.

During this time, the third group of transport teams to and from Elsa Village has completed its mission. Twenty Templars were officially a regular escort and were already being paid, while the remaining forty scouts and twenty Templars were officially reorganized into a mobile cavalry force. However, in the past few days, they have not trained, but collectively packed their bags and prepared for departure.

"The arrangements have been made, and the butler sent by the Duke of Angmar has been a great help, enough to be in control of the situation while I am not here. ”

The original Viscount's Mansion is now the Baron's Palace, and in the open space in front of the gate, Sodrore was talking to Roddy while holding the long sword in his hand and observing it carefully, "To be honest... If it weren't for these butlers, I would have thought you had ransacked the Duke's Palace, and this sword was really the 'Tooth of Guardianship'?"

"You've asked this question three times, and I've answered 'yes' three times, why are you still asking it now?"

"But..."Sodrore scratched his head, he had always looked calm and excited, "But... Isn't this the sword of Duke Cosmo Roussiflon?"

The "Cosmo" he refers to is the first Duke of the Roussiflon family and the founder of the family, and the "Guardian Fang" is his original sword. After Sodrore was successfully promoted to "Ghost Knight", Roddy immediately armed him to the teeth, and even the plate armor he was equipped with was a pure tank outfit of the best level.

Not only Sodrore, but also Carter, Ruger, and the twenty most powerful cavalrymen in the scout team were all replaced by Roddy with longswords with magical attributes - he was really not polite to the duke, and almost took out all the weapons that could be used at this stage in the weapons showroom, and strengthened his cavalry regiment to the extreme.

At this time, looking at Sodrore's stammering appearance, Roddy really couldn't cry or laugh: "You don't want to? Don't let me go to Ruger." ”

"I, I, I, I, I, I, I..."

Sodrore ran away with a puff of smoke, as if the sword were as important as his own son.

Looking at his back, Roddy finally understood this special hobby of Sodrore: he loved the sword as his life.

On weekdays, he looks like he is serious or something, but since he took this long sword with a long history, Sodrore has not slept well for two or three days in a row, and even often wakes up in the middle of the night to draw his sword and mutter a few words before he can lie back down.

Roddy didn't care about this, because he thought it was normal for people to have a little "quirk", but then when he pondered his "quirks", he couldn't find any answers for a long time, and finally could only come to one conclusion:

"Lao Tzu is really more normal than anyone else!"

Then he ignored Akasha's gentle gaze and went to practice his arrows...

This made Akasha secretly sad for a long time.

I haven't seen Roddy for many days, and the mood after the reunion is always happy. And the suit that Roddy brought to her made this gentle little priest almost cry with gratitude.

The prestige of the "Reverence" level is not in vain, and before Roddy leaves Holier City, he made a big purchase in the arsenal of the "Rosicrucifix", and at the end Benjamin waved his hand: free order.

Akasha was given the "Pious Suit" consisting of robes, leather boots, trousers, bracers, cloak, gloves, and a belt. This equipment has tripled Akasha's attributes, increased the healing effect by 60%, increased two skill effects, and increased its strength by two levels.

Luo Di only cared about strengthening his team, but he didn't know that the little priest's heart was pounding by the "luxury gift package", and he blushed and stammered when he saw Luo Di in the first two days. As a result, it didn't take long to hear that Nata's leather armor was made by Roddy himself, and he immediately hugged the pillow and lost sleep for several nights...

Later, Akasha and Sodlore were seen by Roddy with panda eyes, and this thing actually laughed at it for a long time, but it made the little priest angry enough.

"He did it on purpose! How could he do that!"

When the whole team was ready to start from Kieg Town, Akasha pouted and couldn't do it there, and every time she saw Nata with a brand-new longbow in front of the team, she complained a little more to Roddy in her heart: "Are the wood elves so likeable?"

And Roddy, a guy who thinks he is "normal", didn't realize what was going on at all, and stood at the front of the team with a serious face referring to the [map bar] to confirm the route of this trip, and his momentum was quite majestic.

The mercenaries Henry and Buffon also got new equipment, but they did not set off with the team, but were mainly responsible for the route security and trade projects in Elsa Village, and the two of them carried the baggage together with the cavalry regiment's followers, and occasionally looked at Roddy with undisguised awe and gratitude in their eyes.

By noon, all preparations were made, and before leaving, Roddy and Sodrore had a slight disagreement about the route of travel, but after Roddy whispered his reasons, Sodlore finally agreed to his plan.

"Let's go!"

At the sound of the order, a cavalry regiment full of sixty men, one hundred and twenty attendants, and nearly forty carriages followed Roddy on the journey to the Sola outpost.

Nata walked silently at the front of the line with the longbow given by Roddy.

Akasha followed Roddy with "The Essence of Energy" in her arms, her eyes were still a little dark, and she glanced at Nata and Roddy while enlightening herself, obviously still a little depressed.

Sodrol slipped his thick cloak to clear the way ahead, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and the group quickly left the area of Kiger and disappeared into the Silent Forest.

Through the forest, over the snowy mountains, on the rugged snow road, the team had to walk for another month and a half to reach the Sola outpost...
