"Isn't that what I thought? Hey, I know you're going to feel uncomfortable just saying that, but it's good to endure the pain - women..."

Hook pursed his lips, pointed to the rum in Roddy's hand, and made a "you know" expression, "I invited you for this glass, and I forgot everything when I woke up." ”

Roddy gradually recovered from his half-choked state, and saw that Hook had decided on something, and his heart was helpless - but after such a toss, the original depressed mood also improved a little, at least he could feel that his attention had been distracted, and his chest did not feel so stuffy.

"After so many years of life, there have been a lot of unfortunate things, and there is nothing that cannot be overcome. ”

There are also advantages to low emotional intelligence, but it is difficult to really be affected by negative emotions for too long. In addition, he really didn't become like this because of any "emotional injury", in the final analysis, he just felt that it was uncomfortable to sell.

Besides, this day is not without good things, Roddy took a sip of rum, and after the hot liquor flowed down his throat, the scene in front of him seemed to become a little blurred, and he whispered out the "prestige column", and the word "respect" on the "Rosicrucifix" column was impressive...

The prestige had reached such a point that Roddy was ahead of the curve at the level of the player at the beginning - and this afternoon, he had picked up everything he might need in the city's arsenal.

The biggest takeaway was the "fine compound short bow".

Although the bow used in calibrated level 10 is only a "excellent" green prefix, the damage is twice as high as the level 8 short bow that he made, and the arrow speed is even faster, so it can be said that when he is promoted to level 10 and takes this bow, it has enough threat to some low-level advanced professions, and even under certain conditions, he can instantly kill advanced professions within level 5!

In addition to this bow, Roddy was also pleasantly surprised to find that the arsenal had opened up "rare items" with a refresh time limit to himself... In the past, in the game, such things were only purchased for the first time, and they may only appear again every few months or even half a year in the future, and it is reasonable that Roddy, as the only "player" in this world, bought "rare items" in 588 at this time.

To Roddy's excitement, he bought four dozen "calibrated arrows" and a "burst arrow"!

People who don't know about archery don't know the importance of arrows, and most people just think that a good bow is enough - but an "insider" like Nata, who eats with a bow and arrow, will have a feeling of admiration after seeing Roddy's two arrows.

Excellent arrows not only have stable performance, arrow speed and power will be much stronger than ordinary arrows, and even have the effect of "armor breaking" or even "demon breaking", and the arrows used by Luo Di in the past are all shoddy things made by small border workshops. If it weren't for his good archery skills, such arrows would actually have quite limited lethality.

Although the price of the new arrows is terrifying, if you compare it with the arrows originally used by Roddy, it is definitely worth the price! The rare "blue" prefix "Burst Arrow" that can top the price of four dozen "calibrated arrows" can make Roddy pose a threat to high-level advanced classes in one hit!

If the average damage of the previous arrows was about 80, then after changing this set of bows and arrows, the average damage of Roddy can skyrocket to more than 200, and if you change the "Burst Arrow", even if you don't have a critical hit, the normal damage can exceed 400!

This can definitely be called a "shotgun for gun".

Not only is the equipment updated, but after handing in the "Fall of Priest Nilda" task, his experience points can already be around 78,000 points left after reaching level 10, which is about 20% away from level 11 - for Roddy, who is currently injured in the shoulder and difficult to open the bow, at this time, directly upgrading to blood can not only change clothes but also restore combat effectiveness, which can be considered.

Thinking of this, Roddy's mood improved a lot, and he quickly cleared his mind, pondering the only thing to do next: kill Francis.

Kill him, and he and the scouts in Nolan Village will no longer be threatened, and when the time comes, he will fly away, and he will no longer be threatened by the Bishop of Rausch, and he will never have to see the face of the duke's daughter again...

He wasn't interested in Duke Angmar waking up at all, and what the old man did with his son was his own business, and no one could stop him from killing Francis—but when he thought about "advanced careers", those thoughts about IMBA careers came to mind...

Just as he was thinking about it, Hook in front of him stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and asked, "What do you think?

"Oh, thinking about things. ”

"What do you think, women are all over the place, you can find another one at any time, you see, I think it's good to be the daughter of the Hansen family on the other side-"

Luo Di rubbed his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that the bearded Hook still had the thoughts of the old man, coughed dryly, and wanted to shirk it, but as if he remembered something, he changed his tone and whispered: "Actually... I have a girlfriend. ”

When he said this, he could feel that his face was a little panicked, but in order to prevent Hook from gossiping like this, Roddy still stubbornly continued: "But... She wasn't in Ivota territory. ”

"Bards are very merry, who knows which one you're talking about?" Hook pouted, and took his glass and asked, "Oh—does she live far away?"

"Walk southeast from here... More than a thousand kilometers. ”

"Poof—"

Hook choked on a sip of wine and squirted out almost all the ale he had just drunk.

In the eyes of modern people, such a distance is not far, and it is only a matter of a few hours by high-speed train, even if you drive, you can reach it in a day and a night - but in this extremely primitive medieval society, such a distance sounds like a "moat".

In other words, more than 99% of the people in Houllier will never have the opportunity to travel this far in their lifetime. In the human world of "forests surrounding cities", "travel" is not a romantic word at all, and the dangers contained in the forests along the way are enough to discourage most people.

So for Roddy's answer, Hook only felt ridiculous at first, and was directly choked half to death by the wine, and only gasped and said after recovering his strength: "This joke is not funny. ”

Roddy lowered his head and coughed dryly, Hook naturally didn't know the "girlfriend" in his mouth, in fact, he didn't know him at all.

Quietly holding the rum, Roddy thought about the little wizard in his memory a little distractedly, and sighed for a long time - although he wanted to find her, it was too far away, and there were many dangerous areas in the middle that he could not break through now...

I'm afraid I won't have any hope until the advanced class level has passed level 20, right?

Seeing that he was in a daze, Hook stopped saying nothing more, and instead chatted with the other people who had come to buy wine.

Time passed like this, and it didn't take long for the five adventurers to come down to eat, Luo Di and the other party didn't look up and look down in the past few days, which can be regarded as "acquaintance", nodding is a hello, the other party often listens to him tell stories, and at this time he also nodded in response amicably, and then they were irrelevant, and the group sat on the table next to them to eat.

Roddy turned his back to find Hook to pour a glass of water, but when he looked up, he found him staring into the distance.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmph, it's Francis's guy again, he's been wandering around this area all these days," Hook squinted, as if he didn't want to see the guy who had just entered the door, "I was told to pay attention to some scout with bows and arrows some time ago, and I was annoyed enough to come and ask this and that every day." It's better now, go into my tavern and talk to the guests without saying hello, these people are really getting more and more ignorant of the rules..."

Because they had become familiar with each other these days, Hook had spoken without the wariness he had made earlier—of course, he would never have known that the "scout with a bow and arrow" was staring at him strangely in front of him.

However, Roddy didn't think he was exposed, he was just wondering: Francis couldn't assassinate Sally, and now he sent someone to find Rosicrucius's nemesis for help? Could it be that he was planning to assassinate Sally?

Direct raid on the monastery?

At this point, Luo Di remembered what happened today, and his mood suddenly cooled - heh, do whatever you like, Lao Tzu is too lazy to care.

"Who cares what he wants to do, Lao Tzu is not interested. Hook was also bored, and said casually: "I heard that there is an overlord coming to Holier City around the fifteenth, hey, my business will probably be better by then." ”

Roddy caught the information, suddenly tilted his head, and asked casually, "Oh? Why?"

"Every time such a character comes to Hollier, the convent will go out en masse, and all nuns and priests will go to the square to do some kind of ceremony, and with the bishop of Nadu, there will also be a group of believers from other places, and many of those people will come to stay in the big hotel, so they will come to stay with me - if you continue to stay and tell a few more stories, I guess my business here will be better..."

Hook was immersed in the fantasies, but did not notice Roddy's deepening gaze, he took the new ale and asked, "So—will that Count Francis also be there?"

"All the nobles are going to be there, but the old Duke of Angmar doesn't know if he will be there this year, he seems to have shirked due to illness three years ago. ”

"It should be quite lively, right?"

"Yes, every time. ”

Roddy maintained a proper interest and chatted with Hook without missing a beat, but his eyes noticed that Francis's men had spoken a few words to the Rosicrucians and then left, as if they were a little unhappy.

By the time he returned to his room, Roddy already had a plan in mind to deal with Francis.
