What happened tonight was perfect from a strategic point of view, but from a personal point of view, Roddy was a failure.

It all happened two hours ago.

Roddy asked Akasha to come to the tent to find him, in order to arrange tonight's action. After confirming that there were only four enemies, he had already thought of a battle plan: let Nata support remotely, let Akasha heal support, and break the enemy in close combat, these things Roddy planned with ease, but Akasha's state made him not know how to talk to the other party.

Speaking of which, Roddy is actually very satisfied with this "follower". Akasha is highly skilled, has a high level, and learns anything extremely fast, compared to Nata's speed of learning Bringar, which is completely seconds by her for several streets. In Roddy's eyes, Akasha's potential is almost limitless, even comparable to Sodrore.

However, Roddy's headache is... He didn't know how to refuse Akasha's pursuit.

Roddy, who needed to recharge his emotional intelligence, couldn't find a way to meditate, but Akasha, who walked into the tent on time, didn't know his troubles, and coughed lightly: "Roddy, I'm here." ”

Roddy raised his head and looked at Akasha's expectant expression, but he felt that he needed to "pick out everything" with Akasha as soon as possible, because he was afraid that if it dragged on for a long time, it would make Akasha even more uncomfortable.

Coughing a few times, Roddy organized the language for a long time, and finally hesitated: "Akasha, that, that you're not—some... Thoughts?"

Roddy's heart was tightly entangled, but his poor emotional intelligence was really not enough to support him to say any euphemisms, and the straightforward culture at this time made him feel embarrassed and abnormal.

"Huh?"

Akasha was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks instantly turned red like fire, and when she looked down, Roddy could even see that the roots of her ears were pink.

"I... I..."

She wrung her fingers and didn't speak, but the shy look gave the answer.

This is her "first love", she has never had a relationship experience at this time, she is nervous at this time, but more is still excited and excited...

Is he going to accept me?

Roddy knew the answer by looking at her, but the "answer" gave him more headaches - and Sally's vague feeling had made him feel guilty about Nephie, and if Akasha went on like this, he was really afraid that he would break their hearts.

He understood that he couldn't drag it out so "naturally".

Taking a deep breath, he brewed his emotions and said in a deep voice, "Actually, I want to tell you that I-already have someone I like." ”

As soon as the words fell, Akasha was frozen there as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her originally blushing face turned pale in an instant, and she looked up sharply, as if she didn't suddenly react to what Roddy was just saying.

"It's... Is it Nata?"

Akasha's eyes widened in despair.

"It's not... It's not clear, "Roddy wants to say that the person he is waiting for is Nephi, but where is Nefi who hasn't even seen himself, how can he explain it to Akasha?"

So he inadvertently made a big mistake - because Roddy didn't know, and vague excuses always hurt more than explicit refusals.

Akasha's body trembled slightly, and she wanted to speak several times, but she pursed her lips and couldn't say it. Roddy was completely overwhelmed by her performance like this, as he found out... When everything was clear, I didn't know what else to say.

At this time, Nata happened to enter the tent, and Roddy had no choice but to start arranging the task. Unexpectedly, Akasha didn't leave angrily or in any way, she just listened carefully to the arrangement, and then silently followed Roddy all the way up Mount Kars, received instructions, and then ambushed with Nata on the top of the mountain.

In Roddy's eyes, "discussing emotional issues" and "fighting the enemy" are two different things entirely. But he obviously doesn't know how far and far "reason" often rolls when it comes to feelings for women...

So when Akasha was messing around with "punishment techniques", Roddy had to stand up and clear the scene.

He didn't understand, but he had nothing to say.

When the battlefield was quiet, the howling cold wind made Akasha feel cold, and her frozen body was even a little disobedient, she clenched her fists tightly, but she felt that her fingertips had lost sensation.

He must like Nata, but he doesn't want to admit it...

I messed everything up, and only then will he have a reason to get rid of me...

I'm about to leave, and I'm so reluctant...

When I go back, I can find a corner where no one is around and cry for a while...

Roddy would never have imagined that Akasha's seemingly crazy behavior was just to give him a reason to "get rid of" him.

But what Akasha was waiting for was not Roddy's rebuke.

"If you're afraid of the dark, open the ring. ”

Roddy's words showed the same concern as ever, which made Akasha instantly remember the scene when she was protected by Roddy in the dark...

He saved himself, he gave himself the ring, he taught himself new knowledge, but he made a mistake, why didn't he get angry?

Akasha's heart was instantly filled with guilt, and she wanted to apologize, but tears fell to the ground first.

She didn't know what she said next, but instinctively opened her arms and crashed into Roddy's arms, and then she couldn't suppress the depression in her heart anymore, and cried...

Nata watched silently from the side, her expression a little puzzled. And no matter how stupid Luo Di is, he knows that he can't push the little priest in his arms away at this time, so he can only wait for her to release the depression in her heart. It wasn't until the three of them resumed their journey that Akasha stopped sobbing and followed Roddy again.

He didn't chase me away...

Hopeful at the thought of such a thought, Akasha wiped the tears from her face and trotted two steps to catch up with Roddy.

Just stay by his side.

Akasha's first love suffered a "heavy blow" before it even began, but she didn't give up... Although she was shy, her heart was firmer than ever at this time.

December 4th.

"Baron Belom, news from the Kars Mountains. ”

In the camp at the foot of the Gondola Mountain, the undead soldier who had come to report the news handed over the letter from the Blood Raven.

As the temperature dropped rapidly in December, it snowed again, and Belom flicked the letter with the snowflakes, stretched out his hand, and then chuckled and put it aside.

"Ansadine... Magda... Are you just losing to this kind of guy?"

Although the city is extremely deep, Belom at this time can not hide the pride and excitement in his chest - so easily solved the thorn in the side of His Majesty Augustine, will the credit be less?

This trip back, my status in the Tasman Kingdom may be improved by leaps and bounds.

Just as he was thinking about how to report this good news to Augustine, there was new news outside, Belom turned his head and asked, "Is there news ahead?"

"Lord Baron, news has just arrived from the First Scout Team that Elson's location has been confirmed. ”

"Not bad. ”

Belom gave a rare compliment, he was in a good mood, and even a smile appeared on his stiff and pale face.

Killing Roddy and finding Elson's clues, all the plans are going according to plan, and there are no accidents, which is indeed a good sign.

He stood up and commanded, "Revoke the surveillance of Roddy's forces and let everyone prepare... Before we go to Elson, we need to solve the last problem. ”

His gaze was slightly on the inkblotted handwriting on the map—

"Sola Sentry".

Early morning on December 5th.

The tranquility of Kars Hill is shattered by a sudden arrival of uninvited guests.

Fifteen cloaked figures appeared at the foot of the mountain, and then walked along the slope of the mountain at an unbelievable speed, crossing half the mountain as if they were walking on the ground in half an hour...

This is the "Holy Meeting" squad with a heavy responsibility.

Camille, who was moving forward in the cold wind, tightened her cloak, she had always been at the forefront of the team these days, and the fatigue caused by the continuous release of arcane was unavoidable, at this time, the face of the difficult age had a tiredness that could not be concealed, but even so, the indifferent "teammates" behind her did not show concern at all, and followed silently one by one, with cold faces.

For this situation, Camilla was helpless, but there was nowhere to complain. Because it was a task, she had no reason to refuse.

However, as the team crossed the mountainside, Camilla realized that the road ahead was not quite right...

"Wait... There have been avalanches here. ”

The team stopped, but the captain of Sparky in the rear immediately said: "There is no need to stop, it's just an avalanche, the way to go, keep walking." ”

There was a slight uncomfortable overarching flavor in these words, and Camilla frowned slightly, and replied, "I saw traces of tents, as if an avalanche had buried something. ”

This sentence finally aroused the interest of the descendants of the high elves behind them, and they turned their eyes to the front, and then stepped over, and dug a few times casually with one arcane technique-

"It happened in two days. ”

"The tent was made by Ivta, this is supposed to be the camp of an army, are they all buried?"

"But... There are no corpses. ”

Captain Sparker snorted coldly and said solemnly to the team members around him: "No matter what is pressed down here, it has nothing to do with us, and the 'Holy Order' is not for us to explore these things!"

When she said this, Camila knew that she was going to move on, and she sighed, looking at the mess after the avalanche in front of her, but there were some doubts in her heart.

There are no traces of excavation, and there is not even a single body in a buried camp?

There was something weird about it, but as Captain Sparker said, the "Holy Order" was not a charitable organization, and even if there was a dragon buried underneath, it had nothing to do with them.

"Keep going. ”

With a wave of her hand, she reinforced the soft snow and ice surface, stepped forward, and continued with the team.
