Time passed, and since Roddy's return from the Silent Forest, Elson City finally entered a period of steady development, and Roddy himself had a "vacation" to relax mentally and physically after continuous battles.

By July, the Nehemian steppes were once again covered with the dark clouds of the rainy season, and in the summer of 589, there had been a number of orc attacks on the border of Evta - but until this time, the border under the watchful eye of Elson had been so calm that not even half of the orcs had been seen.

Roddy breathed a sigh of relief because it proved that his efforts were not in vain.

However, he also knew that "stability" was only temporary, and even if there were no enemies or emergencies to deal with now, Roddy would not be so nervous as to think that he could be a lord and enjoy the blessings. In fact... Even if he became the most powerful city lord in this territory, he still never relaxed his training.

In the morning, they will practice the movement and fixed-point shooting of 400 arrows, and in the afternoon, they will study all the current skills to strengthen their understanding and application of their own skills, talents and physical strength. In the past half a month, Luo Di has several liters of sweat wrung off his shirt every day, and the smashed arrow targets are piled up in a corner of the city square.

[Ice Crystal Thorn] and a set of leather armor were already a little out of the ranks, but Roddy was not in a hurry to replace them, because he was going to use the dragon bones and dragon scales to make a real "powerful equipment". However, before that, Roddy had been working on the "Behemoth Master" set every night.

Of course, the so-called "improvement" is to carry out "spar inlay".

After obtaining the profession of "Spar Setter", Roddy has not done research, and when he has free time, he asks for a lot of spar fragments from Camilla, ready to rush the skill level of "Spar Setter".

However, after the "rough spars", "flawed spars", and "broken spars" were polished out by Luo Di piece by piece, Luo Di, who tried to "inject" energy into the spars, did not succeed once for three consecutive days.

Because every time he condensed his "mana", he would be severely disturbed by the severe pain in his brain, resulting in the failure of energy "infusion".

This frustration distressed him, but it was not until the fourth day that he withstood his headache with his amazing perseverance and completed his first piece.

"Weak Light Feather Crystal"

Inlays

Effect: Maintains the "Light Feather" effect for 3 seconds when activated.

The number of uses is 3/3.

With that in mind, Roddy was out of control, and by July 15th, he had made more than twenty hedrons of sufficient potency, which he had sifted through and set in his "Behemoth Master" set.

At this point, Roddy directly has six more active or passive skills, and the cost is that the equipment bonus attribute has been reduced by 30%.

The days may sound rather monotonous, but Roddy is not bored at all because of the company of Akasha - holding hands in the sunset to walk around the ancient city of the High Elves, kissing the forehead and saying good night before going to bed... The relationship between the two is not exaggerated like the exaggeration of kissing and sleeping in two or three days like in film and television dramas, but it is not enough to hug.

Because they are both serious in love for the first time, Roddy and Akasha have a bit of a "cautious" taste, although this seems a little restrained, but the sweetness in their hearts... But it's a different taste.

On the afternoon of July 16, Elson finally received its first rain since the "Time Standstill Barrier" was broken.

In the sound of raindrops, Roddy, who was sitting in front of the balcony, breathed in the fresh air and reached out to read the stack of letters that had just arrived.

"So many letters, is there something wrong with Ivta?"

Akasha came to Roddy's side and placed the teapot on the table... Although Roddy always said not to let her worry about these things, Akasha still likes to make milk tea for him by herself.

"It's not a big deal, some plans will depend on the effect after they are implemented, and the matter of army construction will be handed over to Sodrore, and the surrounding lords are very frightened, as if they are looking for the duke to protest. ”

Luo Di laughed out loud as he spoke, picked up his teacup and said, "These guys are probably scared, um... Milk tea is delicious. ”

"If you like it, if you like. ”

Akasha's smile was sweet.

The weather is getting hotter, and she has now changed into a light white gauze dress, although she does not expose too much skin, but there is also an indescribable temptation for Roddy - Akasha's figure is definitely comparable to those models she has seen on the Internet before, and it can even be said that it is more exaggerated. And in this era, there is no underwire underwear, so if the clothes are a little thinner, the fullness of her chest will look a little "trembling".

"What's wrong? There's something on my clothes?"

"No... I was thinking about something else. Roddy coughed dryly, moved his gaze back to the letter in his hand, and continued to look at it: "Everything is going well over there in Sodlore, the trade volume of Elsa Village has reached a new high, and the fat man is really a businessman, and now he has extended his tentacles to seventy percent of the country's land..."

When he turned to the last letter, Roddy's expression became slightly solemn, and after reading it carefully, he hesitated a little: "Duke Angmar said that he wanted me to go to Hollier City. ”

"What do you need me to do?"

Akasha couldn't understand what Roddy's expression meant, and asked strangely.

Roddy's expression was a little hesitant, and in addition to those trivial matters, the letter in his hand finally specifically noted the news that "Sally has returned to Hollier City"... This made him very strange, after all, when she left the "Temple", Sally had no intention of returning to Evta.

Did she come to settle accounts with herself? It doesn't look like it...

"If you're not afraid of heights, come with me? ”

"Okay. ”

Akasha didn't notice what he was going to do on this trip, but Roddy, who was holding the letter, had a headache...

Sally is not an "ex-girlfriend", but after all, the relationship between the two was very close - thinking of this, Roddy always sighed a little: I'm afraid that after that quarrel, I will never be friends with her again.

Anyway... In the end, there will be a showdown.

"These guys... Ahem, ahem... I really saw the opportunity to come. ”

In the Duke's palace in Holier City, Angmar sighed and coughed violently.

The white light fell on him closely, and Sally, who had finished casting the magic spell, gently stroked her father's back and whispered, "I really can't figure it out, can't the identity of the 'Rosicrucifix' priest stop these guys? ”

"Before, I was able to stand, they didn't dare to move, but now... Oh, I think you're a little girl who hasn't been deeply involved in the world. ”

Duke Angmar lamented the recent emergence of nobles and nobles in Hollier City - they were not the nobles of Evta, but the heirs of the great nobles of other realms in the kingdom.

Obviously, the Duke of Angmar's "entrusting the future" has given them an opportunity to acquire territory and wealth... As Roddy said to Brudy, in this era, "marriage" is always the best means of alliance and annexation, even if Sally cannot marry because of her status as a "Rosicrucian" priest, it still can't stop these guys who flock to it for profit.

They are conceited, haughty and can't wait to fantasize about having a "romance" with the duke's daughter... Or "just right" love.

And then... Get both her young and beautiful body and amazing wealth...

"It's like a dream. ”

Sally was so disgusted by this that the disgust in her eyes flashed, she reached out and took the glass of water next to her, handed it to her father, and said, "Butler John just put a new batch of information on the table, do you want me to bring it to you?"

"You don't have to take it, you go and read it and tell me what you think. ”

Duke Angmar closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair to try to breathe as calmly as he could.

Sally pursed her lips slightly—she knew her father was preparing for her to "take over."

Raising her hand to pick up the stack of parchment, Sally whispered to her father about the analysis of each matter, and occasionally heard a comment or two made by Angmar, although it was rare, but it made Sally more deeply understand how to consider problems from the "decision-making level".

It's just that this kind of teaching makes Sally's heart full of sourness... By the time I realized that my father was in his twilight years, it was too late.

"Here... Here's a message from the eastern diocese that the plague is under control, but the results of the investigation are a little different—"

Sally looked at the letter in her hand, and her brows gradually furrowed: "The priest's magic did not work on some sick civilians, but Bishop Maladon dispelled the epidemic in time and ensured the safety of the diocese. ”

This matter continues to follow up. ”

Duke Angmar opened his eyes, and his face suddenly became serious: "How does the 'Rosicrucius' prevent the epidemic, how many people are infected with the plague and how many people have died, we must carefully investigate... Ahem...... Find out. ”

Sally hurriedly supported him and asked a little strangely, "The plague has never caused trouble to the Karen Kingdom, father, do you need our attention?"

Angmar struggled to hold back the pain in her chest, and replied in a somewhat weak voice, "I was like you, but... That's not what Roddy thinks. ”

"Roddy?"

The name made Sally a little distracted, and she froze for a moment, then returned to "normal" and said coquettishly, "What did he tell you again? ”

Angmar narrowed her eyes slightly, as if recalling the conversation she had with Roddy, and then raised her hand with some difficulty, pointing to the map of the Karen Kingdom that was always unfolding on the wooden table next to her: "When he first talked to me about Magda, he specifically mentioned 'plague', and he said..."

"If one day there is a strange plague in the kingdom, then you must be on guard. The undead... He never gave up his coveting of Karen. ”

"And... They will use shameless, unrestrained means to encroach on the kingdom. ”
