131. Chapter 131 IMBA Class: Ghost Rider
"There are some, swordsmanship, and horsemanship... In short, if you continue to train like this, you may be able to improve, but after all, it will not be able to compare with the progress brought by the battle. ”
Sodrol frowned, the idea of "wanting to become stronger" was always his purpose in following Roddy, so he had an extremely intuitive understanding of his own strength.
"Ever thought of being a knight? I don't mean a title that doesn't have much use, but a real knight... The kind that can lead the team to charge on the battlefield. ”
Luo Di smiled after speaking, "This has nothing to do with the 'First Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom' or anything, I just think that your physical fitness and ability, if you cooperate with the war horse, there should be better room to play." ”
Sodrore thought about this question for a moment, and then replied: "I know that the knight's force is strong, but the equipment and energy required..."
"That's not a problem. ”
Hearing Luo Di's promise of such a "local tyrant", he smiled helplessly and nodded: "... If that's the ideal state, I'd rather be a knight. ”
"That's good—but I'd like to ask you a question, have you ever heard of the Wellington Knights?"
Roddy recalls an advanced class about "Knight", but suddenly asks such an unrelated question.
"Wellington Knight?' the 'Shadow Knight' next to Duke Roussifron?" Sodrore frowned and thought for a moment, "I only know that he is very powerful, but he seems to rarely make a move, I don't know much about it... Why did you mention him all of a sudden?"
"He's so much better than you think, I mean—"
Before Roddy could finish his words, Carter hurriedly ran up from downstairs and said loudly, "Captain Roddy, outside the hotel... There's a knight from the Duke's Court looking for you. ”
"Who?"
Roddy asked, standing up.
"He said... His name was Wellington. ”
Carter swallowed, the expression on his face a little awe-inspiring, apparently he knew what the name meant.
......
A few minutes later, Roddy, sitting in the carriage of the Duke's Palace, had basically guessed what he was going to face today.
The Wellington knight came to greet him with a special trip, and this kind of treatment already said a lot, and when he looked at the tall knight on a war horse outside the carriage, he couldn't help but remember what he had just wanted to say to Sodrore...
To put it simply, what he wanted to discuss with Sodrore was his future career direction. And the reason why Wellington is mentioned is because his "advanced class" happens to be one of the few "IMBA" classes that Roddy knows - "Ghost Rider".
In his memories of belonging to another world, Roddy never saw a Wellington knight in the game, as the other party had been killed in a battle in 594. However, the reason why I can clearly remember this name is entirely because this only video that reveals the combat power of "Ghost Knight" caused an uproar among players as soon as it was released-
At the beginning, this powerful knight level was advanced to the level of "ghost knight" level 50, and he led more than 200 remnants of soldiers to be besieged by the elite of 3,000 orcs - when breaking through, the Wellington knight with six "ghost clones" with explosive attack power directly crushed nearly 100 wolf cavalry and orcs, and the powerful strength it showed completely made players fall into shock.
Although the Wellington knights eventually died of physical exhaustion due to being outnumbered, such combat ability has become the focus of everyone's discussion for a period of time, and this IMBA profession has also become the object of countless players.
Roddy's previous idea was how to let Sodrore obtain the knight's inheritance - his idea was very straightforward: Titus and Wellington were both Duke Angmar's "guardian knights", and they had no chance to become their subordinates, and if it was to cultivate, it would definitely be the best choice to let Sodlore, a talented guy, learn directly... But as for how to find the opportunity, this is the next question for him to think about.
But Roddy knew better that the first thing he had to face at this time was the awakened Duke of Angmar - and what decision would the other party make when he saw his letter, be friendly to him, be wary, or both?
Looking at the Wellington knight walking in front of the carriage, Roddy frowned slightly, but he was not sure in his heart to guess what such a high-ranking lord was thinking.
"What do you want to do so much... Anyway, there won't be any contradictions. ”
He shook his head, exhaled, leaned back in his chair and sighed softly.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Duke's Palace seemed very warm.
Busy servants walked back and forth in the corridors, passing papers, preparing lunches, reporting taxes, and the once deserted mansion was restored to its original bustle—Sally pushed open the door and sighed quietly... It seems like I haven't seen anything like this in years.
When she suddenly walked out of the shadow that had enveloped her for a long time, her heart was still very unable to adapt to such a change, so every time she looked around, Sally always tried to imprint everything in front of her in her mind, for fear that all this was just a sweet dream that would wake up at any time.
It had been two hours since she had returned to the Duke's Palace, and until now, her heart was still filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and joy - not only because of her father's recovery, but also because she knew who had healed him...
The Duke simply told her about Roddy, and the letter that Roddy had left behind was also read by Sally. The things written in the letter are actually very formulaic, just expounding the threat of orcs, undead and Francis to Evta's territory, although it seems a little alarmist to ordinary people, but from the political perspective of the lord's level, it is indeed a bloody thing - in some conversations, Sally can hear a little "approval" from her father's words, which naturally makes her very happy.
"Miss. ”
While she was thinking about the next arrangement, Sally was stopped by a maid who came running not far away, she turned her head and smiled, "Mel, what's the matter?"
Mel, who was not flawless in disguise, made a happy look and replied, "The lord asked you to go to the study, saying that the luncheon may be for an important guest." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away. ”
Sally, who was in a good mood, smiled in response, and then gently trotted to her father's study with the hem of her white gauze skirt, looking like a fawn.
But behind her, although Mel still kept smiling, the smile in her eyes was imperceptibly cold...
After a while, the Duke of Angmar, who was writing a letter in the study, noticed the arrival of his daughter, and after writing the last stroke, he inserted the quill into the inkwell, and said casually: "I haven't been back to my bedroom for a long time, have you?"
"Everything was the same as before. Sally smiled, but her eyes darkened slightly, "It's pretty much the same..."
Francis's bedroom had been completely emptied. When Sally found out about this fact, she knew that her father knew the cause and effect of the matter, but the father and daughter tacitly never mentioned it, Sally was actually still apprehensive in her heart, but the attitude of the Duke of Angelmar really made her unable to see through it as a daughter...
"Naturally, some things can't come back. Angmar smiled, his words were very flat, and the slight melancholy feeling was quickly covered up, he raised his head, "You should have heard about the luncheon, I just received the news that the Rubens Episcopal Church has come to visit, so it is better to dress formally at the luncheon." ”
"Yes. ”
Sally obediently walked up behind her father and gently helped him knead his shoulders.
Angmar smiled with relief and continued, "By the way, in addition to Titus and Wellington will be present, there should be someone else present. ”
"Huh?"
In the past, my father rarely emphasized such things to himself, and Sally raised an eyebrow - "I know him?"
"Nature is cognizant... It's Roddy-eh, daughter, pinching a little lighter. ”
"He, he, what is he doing here?" Sally's voice was visibly amiss, "uh- I mean, he's a scout captain why... No, father, you're fooling me!"
Sally immediately understood her father's thoughts, and slammed her small fist on Angmar's shoulder, causing the duke to laugh. It was the first time he saw his daughter with such a look, and he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "I didn't mean to test you, don't hate me, let's prepare first, and I'll talk about it at noon if you have anything to say." ”
"Well... Okay, I'll go—no, I'm not unfamiliar with him!"
Sally was originally happy in her heart, but then she remembered Roddy's "bastard" answer when she "confessed" last night, and suddenly became angry, and immediately wrinkled her nose and snorted a few times, and left in a huff.
Duke Angmar had a funny expression, although he didn't understand why his daughter was so angry, but he also knew... She's probably got her heart set on someone.
He smiled and shook his head, then shifted his energy to the luncheon that was about to begin, and reached out to pick up the letter from Roddy on the desk, but the duke suddenly narrowed his eyes and whispered, "What the hell... What kind of young man is he?"
It didn't take long for Roddy's carriage to cross the city and arrive at the Duke's palace at Roussiflon.
However, just as the luxury carriage was passing the sculptures and flower beds in front of the mansion, he noticed through the window a carriage that had entered the mansion at about the same time as himself... Looking at the gold and red roses and cross emblems outside the carriage, Roddy couldn't help but frown—the Overseer is here too?
For "Rosace Cross", Roddy still has a player mentality, that is, "I only need prestige and rewards, and nothing else". So even when he met the Exgerant or even the Cardinal, he had no interest in going up to talk or hugging his thighs - he didn't have the slightest respect or fear in his heart when he saw the Exgerant, but he didn't understand why the Duke would invite him and the Exgesy to luncheon at the same time...
Could it be that Rubens wanted to thank himself for saving his life?
As he stepped out of the carriage, Roddy had to meet with the Wellington knight and the robed Rubens, so he soon realized that things were not as he had imagined them to be.
"Who is this?"
When he saw Roddy, the Overseer was neither enthusiastic nor cold, and asked John's butler beside him with a reserved expression.
John naturally didn't want to talk much, and simply replied: "This is the captain of the Nolan Village Scout, Roddy. ”
"Oh, hello. ”
Nodding his head and moving on, this was Rubens's subsequent reaction - apparently he didn't even know it... Yesterday it was the young man in front of him who saved his life.
And in his eyes, the status gap between "Scout Captain" and "Overseer" is not on the same level at all - when he heard the title "Scout Captain", Rubens had already put Roddy on the "don't bother" list...
The overseer's reaction made Roddy very embarrassed, but his cheeks were not thick enough to directly ask for credit... So seeing the overseer's obvious perfunctory and disdain for himself, Roddy could only pout helplessly and silently followed.
Is this here for dinner? What does Angmar think?
