139.Chapter 139: Let Them Have No Return!
In the early hours of the morning, the sound of horses' hooves during the scouts' routine training brought Sally awake from her slumber.
When she opened her eyes, Sally saw a gorgeous curtain she hadn't seen in a long time, her body sunk deep into the soft bed. She sat up a little confused, her hangover headache unoblivious to the fact that the pajamas on her shoulders had fallen halfway down her slippery skin, which looked a little dazzling in the sunlight from the balcony.
Rubbing her long white blonde hair, Sally's brows furrowed slightly, her consciousness was still a little confused, and after a few minutes, the memories in her mind gradually surfaced...
The Square Speech Assassination, Killing Francis, Father's Healing, Luncheon, Dinner, Roddy's Appointment.
Images came to mind, and Sally finally remembered that she seemed to have had a long conversation with Roddy last night, and then drank a lot of alcohol, and...
And then what?
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she realized that the only clip she could remember was that she had drunk too much and pounced on the ...... In Roddy's arms?!
What happened next?
Sally snorted violently, immediately looked down at her body, and found that the body under the pajamas was almost **** at this time!
It's- it can't be when Roddy is in a coma...
Her heart began to beat thumping, her cheeks flushed, and the sixteen-year-old little Sally lacked "physiological knowledge", and all she could think of at this time were rumors that some beast aristocrats had "succeeded" after getting drunk - this writing scared her so much that she forgot all about Roddy's "zero emotional intelligence" trait, and only felt that she seemed to be possible... Lost!
She lifted the quilt in a panic, looked at her body without underwear, her face changed several times, and finally whispered in a voice like she was about to cry: "It seems... It's bloodstained..."
Then she turned over and rummaged on the bed, despite her slick image.
And just when Sally was full of anxiety, Julie, who happened to be about to wake her up, stood at the door and was stunned, puzzled by the scene in front of her—she looked at the round little buttocks that swayed from side to side, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss Sally, what are you looking for?"
"Ahh
"Boom!"
Sally's head was a mess, but when she suddenly heard a voice behind her, she suddenly remembered the fact that she wasn't wearing underwear yet... So she suddenly turned around and tried to cover her ass with the quilt, but she stumbled and rolled out of bed because she was on the edge of the bed...
The maid Julie hurriedly trotted a few steps around the bed, and helplessly helped the little girl up, who blushed like an apple and got into the bed, and then asked in an eager but low voice: "I-how did I get back last night... Coming back?"
"Come back?"
Julie thought for a moment and replied, "Miss, you drank a lot of wine at the dinner party, and finally got drunk directly, if it weren't for that Captain Roddy supporting you, I'm afraid you would have hit the table." ”
"Huh?"
Sally's head buzzed - sure enough, Roddy sent me back, so he wouldn't...
"But then the captain also... fainted," said this, Julie also wanted to laugh, because it was the first time she had seen a man who drank as much as Sally who was not yet an adult, "And then the Duke asked me to bring you back... After taking a shower, you come and sleep on your own. ”
Hearing this, the big stone hanging in Sally's heart finally fell to the ground, she exhaled loudly, and then laughed out loud - it turns out that Roddy's guy is worse than herself!
"Whew..."
She patted her chest, but suddenly felt that the original panic in her heart was gradually being replaced by some inexplicable "stimulation", and then Sally found herself faintly looking forward to it - when will it be the next time I see him look foreign?
"What a fool!"
Scolding softly in his mouth, his tone was relaxed and a little coquettish, after getting up, Sally stretched out a big waist in front of the window, and when she was about to go to wash, she happened to see the back of Roddy walking along the path of the mansion towards the distance...
If only I could see him every day.
She was still scolding Roddy just now, but now such an idea came to her for no reason, and Sally herself was taken aback by the thought - but then she quickly thought of the word "marriage", and suddenly her face was a little helpless, and she wrung her fingers and counted her remaining days in Hollier City, and secretly begged for time to pass more slowly...
Compared with Sally, who is full of unreliable thoughts, Roddy, who is striding forward at this time, can be said to be completely at the other extreme.
He was looking down at the parchment, and he was in a bad mood.
He didn't drink much, he was stunned last night and asked Sally to lie down, although this kind of thing is more "embarrassing", but after all, it is just a fun thing after dinner, Roddy naturally will not be depressed because of this kind of thing... And the reason why he was in a bad mood was because of the news that he had just interrogated from Mel in the early hours of the morning.
"The twenty-sixth enters the city... Assassinate Angmar..."
Roddy frowned at the information he had recorded on the parchment, and raised his hand to scratch the void beside him, which looked like he was doing some command, but he didn't know that he was flipping through the "taskbar".
【Stopping Ansardine's Conspiracy 3/3】
This is the mission that was just activated today, and Roddy remembers that when he first killed Alpha, there was no similar wording here, and after he found out Mel, the undead spy, there was a 2/3 word, and when the interrogation was completed, it became 3/3, indicating that he had achieved the last step in the series.
At this point, the last section of the quest bar reads "Completion Condition: Keeping Duke Angelmar Roussifron alive".
Because it is a series of quests, such taskbars are color-coded with the difficulty of achieving the conditions - the taskbar that Roddy sees at this time is bright red, which means that the difficulty of Roddy's quest is "very difficult".
Obviously, this means that the assassins who came to assassinate the Duke of Angmar must be of no lower rank!
As the saying goes, "Blessing is incomparable, misfortune is not a single line", not only are the undead trying to assassinate Roussifron, but when Roddy learns from Mel how to decipher the code, the letter from Alpha gives him a bad message:
The original effect of the "Soul Extraction Potion", which paralyzed Duke Angmar for several years, was not to kill, but to... Control!
Once this potion achieves its effect, as long as a piece of Ansatine refined "Gray Crystal" is placed on the user at the right time, it can completely make the user become a "puppet" who obeys his words, and retains all his previous strength, personality traits and appearance!
This is equivalent to creating a flawless puppet with little to no risk of being detected.
Although Luo Di understood that the undead were not good at stubble, he didn't expect that this race, which had only participated in the continental strife three or four years later, would make such a "layout" for the Karen Kingdom nearly ten years ago!
Who knows how many nobles these bone sticks have been used against them? If three or four of the great lords of the kingdom have become lackeys of the undead, then it is strange that the kingdom will not die!
Thinking of this, Roddy frowned, and once again looked at the translated letter in his hand:
“... The potion's effects have faded recently, and hopefully this is just Angmar's last revolt, and I'll keep you back on the follow-up. As for Kig, all the preparations will be made in the winter..."
This is another thing that Alpha mentions at the end of the letter - what is "advance preparation"?
Roddy was very upset, the information in the letter was too vague, and he couldn't find any superfluous clues - he couldn't find out who the Alpha connector was from Mel, and it was obvious that the "Ansadine" Lord did not connect the information network directly in order to conceal it, but adopted the safest single-line mode...
Roddy felt as if he had touched something, but only vaguely saw the most inconspicuous part of the undead's great conspiracy.
"Kiger Town... It's quite close to the Silent Forest, so I'll have to look for clues then. ”
With these things in mind, Roddy hurried to the edge of the racecourse, looked at the scouts who were almost finished training in the distance, and greeted Titus and Wellington, who were interested in observing the training, and looked away, and saw Duke Angmar looking at him with a smile on his face and his hands behind his back.
"Your Excellency. ”
He gave a military salute and said hello, walked closer, and just wanted to say something about the undead, but saw Angmar looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, and said a little abruptly: "What do you think of a barony, enough equipment and a sum of money, and let these soldiers follow you, and choose any territory and place?"
"Huh?"
Roddy was thinking about how to plan the next "anti-assassination" plan and make a profit from it, but he didn't react to what he was talking about for a while, and after a few seconds, he realized that this was the duke's "reward" for himself. The expression on his face was stunned for a moment, but he coughed dryly twice, and replied: "Lord Duke, those are secondary, there are some things here that I need to report to you immediately, and... It might be best to contact the 'Rosicrucius' side as well. ”
"Rosicrucifix?"
Angmar raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she thought that Roddy was not interested in the conditions she had given, so she immediately raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "What? Rubens has wooed you to join the church? I don't think it's a wise idea..."
Roddy couldn't help but laugh, quickly raised the parchment in his hand, and then whispered about the plan for the undead.
As he spoke, Duke Angmar's originally calm and breezy expression gradually became solemn, and in the end, he was even more undisguised with a little anger. He waved his hand for Titus and the Wellington knight to come over, and whispered something, and the palm of his skin, which was already a little loose, rose sharply, and cleaved in the void with a decisive word.
"Since this group of undead has become more violent, then I will let them have no return!"
