367.Chapter 367: Neffi Camilla
On the twentieth of May, Elson, the westernmost territory of the kingdom, finally welcomed a convoy of supplies from Ivta.
The Charged Crystals, books, and equipment of the High Elves Royal Guard, which had been transported from the village of Elsa in the Silent Forest, were piled up on horse-drawn carriages, and after more than ten days of trekking, they finally entered the wide and neat outer gate of Elson.
On the city wall, as Akasha, dressed in a white robe, waved her staff, the thousands of undead soldiers in the forest who had blocked the demonic beasts began to retreat in an obedient group, slowly returning to Elson from another city gate......
The priest, known as the "Angel of Death", had finally gradually regained his plump form from his thin state these days, and his simple robes had taken on an exaggerated arc because of his curvaceous posture. It's just that because she is in an empty city, Akasha has no intention of taking care of her image, and at this time, she looks as if she has just gotten up from bed.
In fact, Akasha did have some sleep deprivation.
She thought it would be extremely lonely to stay in this city, but she didn't expect that there were countless amazing books in the library here... If Luo Di's teaching of "The Nature of Energy" as a textbook is a "key", then at this time, she used this key to quietly open a door to a new world.
"The Study of Lens Energy", "Illustrated Healing Arcane", "Principles of Circle Composition" and other tomes allowed Akasha to gradually see a high-civilization kingdom ruled by "Arcane" seven hundred years ago.
So she began to read all night, which also caused her to almost forget to greet the material troops today, who was always a little sleepless.
After the task was completed, she wanted to go and see what supplies were in the team, but when her eyes swept into the distance, Akasha saw Camilla's red-robed figure, she wrinkled her nose, showed a "not cold" expression, and walked down the city wall by herself, deciding to go to the library first to read the rather interesting book "Dialogue with Dragons".
She has never had a good impression of Camilla, and if she doesn't see the right eye, she doesn't even want to say anything superfluous.
Compared with her carefreeness, Camilla's mood at this time is not easy. She frowned and searched through the hundreds of hedrons that had been transported from Elsa's village, but there was no joy in her brows.
The fiery red robes danced like a cluster of flames in front of and behind the team, and when Camilla stopped, she pursed her lips slightly and asked Buffon, who was in charge of this transportation mission, "This is all the hedron that the wood elves can use?"
Because Sodrol and all the soldiers of the cavalry team were resting in turn, the leader of the team became Buffon, who was in charge of the communication affairs of the wood elves in the Silent Forest, he was still immersed in the shock of this huge city at this time, and when he heard the question of the red-robed beauty in front of him, Buffon was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, and nodded: "All the spars in Elsa Village are here, and there are a lot of them." β
Camila looked at the similarly sized and regular "Charged Crystal" in front of her, but the gloom between her eyebrows was not concealed.
After Roddy left, she and with her talent for being extremely sensitive to the elements, she had already figured out the reason why she was "imprisoned" here:
To put it simply, Camilla was able to "come back to life" when she was dying, because that strange circle condensed and "reshaped" her body with the almost "omnipotent" energy of "arcane", giving her the power to control the city and a new life.
But the condition is that the "defense system" must always have energy. At this time, Camilla realized... The only remaining energy in this city is gradually escaping from the body, and it seems that it will not be long before it is completely consumed!
There are two ways to recharge the "defense system": one is the small "charge circle" that Turing used at the time, and the other is the giant "core defense control" circle.
The former can be charged with even one hedro, while the latter requires at least fifteen hundred hedrons.
Tragically, Turing's small "Charging Circle" has been completely scrapped due to a crack, but the latter... Counting the newly shipped and the hedron found in the Pachar Magic Tower, there are still three hundred and twenty pieces left before they can be activated.
In other words, Camila must gather three hundred and twenty magic crystals to recharge her energy before the energy completely "escapes", otherwise she is likely to die for it!
Fingers clenched slightly, and Camilla's gaze was flustered for a moment... But she soon calmed down, and immediately began to sift through all the options in her mind. However, after thinking about it, she found that the only person she could rely on at the moment was Roddy...
He was the only one who knew about the High Elven civilization, and finding the hedrons was his mission to revive Elson City.
Thinking like this in her heart, Camila suddenly looked at the sky vigilantly, and her hands wanted to sound the hum of elemental concussions almost at the same time...
Buffon and the soldiers on either side were startled, and when they looked into the air from Camilla's line of sight, they noticed a large, strange-looking bird overhead.
The other party circled a few times, seemed to be ready to land, but could not find a suitable place to settle, and finally after several twists and turns, finally rolled several times in the city square in a "" attitude, and barely landed successfully.
When Camila arrived, she saw a letter tied to its claws pointing to the sky - out of insurance, she cast the "Ice Crystal Bondage" and took the letter with the "Elemental Hand", but after reading it, she took a deep breath and clutched her chest for a long time...
The village of Mogra is attacked by the infidels, and Nefi is safely escorted to the temple by Roddy, which is the most important message in the letter.
Roddy also stated that he needed Camilla's handwritten reply to prove her identity, so as to convince Nephi to return with him.
At this point, Camilla had no doubts, and immediately wrote a reply, and tied it to the ridiculous giant bird's leg as fast as she couldβand the poor duck had not even had time to eat after flying for so long, so he had to embark on the return journey again...
May 21, Temple.
"Brother Roddy, you said mom she really appeared in that place called Elson City?"
"I'm not sure, it's just a message from my subordinates - I've written back to her to write a handwritten letter, and if I can confirm the identity, it should be fine... But Camilla, can you recognize her handwriting?"
"No problem, my mother's handwriting is beautiful!"
Nephie took Roddy in his left hand and Sally in his right hand, bouncing and bounce.
"Sister Sally, Brother Roddy is so amazing, I didn't expect to really find my mother!"
Lori's face was full of smiles, and her exclamation was completely visceral, but she didn't know that these were just a trick on Roddy's side - because only then could Nephi return to Elson with Sally for a "reasonable" reason in Sally's eyes.
To be honest, Roddy has always felt like he is walking on a single-plank bridge these days, for fear of making Sally angry and sad if he says something wrong. But now it seems that she is in a pretty good mood, and her bright smile and cheerful words always linger in her ears, which makes Roddy's mood relax a lot.
After all, such a "lie" is not intended to harm people, the reason is just that Roddy doesn't want to hurt Sally.
"Sally, Rubens's opinion, how did you think about it?"
Roddy's big calloused hand gently held Nefi's small hand, these days, Nefi's attitude towards him has finally changed greatly, although he is still closer to Sally, but he no longer resists some physical contact with Rodi, and will even take the initiative to take his and Sally's hands to "swing".
"The cardinal told me to take a month's leave to calm down, and then he arranged many lectures and made a lot of book lists, and it seems that he wanted to tie me here. Sally smiled and helped Nephie straighten her messy broken hair, and looked up, "Actually, I want to go back to Evta, father... It's old after all. β
"If you can apply, I can accompany you back, but it must be before September, and the road may not be easy this winter. β
Roddy was impressed by the snowstorm in the winter of 589, and he didn't want to stay here for too long.
"The duke's reply should arrive in the next two days, and tomorrow I have time to ask Rubens, and I think he will agree." β
"You want me to go back with you?"
Sally suddenly asked with a slightly red cheek, Roddy blinked, and looked to the side - little Lori smiled: "I don't know anything, I don't understand anything, hehe..."
Neffie jumped to the front, causing Roddy and Sally to look at each other and laugh, and then they were each brewing some indescribable emotions.
The group of three walked the streets relaxed, and Roddy occasionally flipped through the [quest bar] to see the construction tasks of Elson City, but most of the time he accompanied Neffy and Sally to the market to make some comments on some novelty.
In the evening, the meteor-like duck was planted in the unfinished pigeon cage for the second time, bringing with him Camilla's letter.
At dinner, Nephi, who saw the letter, immediately confirmed that it was her mother's handwriting, and then happily hugged Roddy and Sally's necks and cheered... Little Lori's mood also infected the two of them, and they drank a lot of drinks at dinner, and Nephie was once again successfully drunk under the table by grape juice.
Grape juice is similar to low-degree fruit wine, I don't feel it when I drink it, I have some stamina when I drink too much, even the older Sally is a little drunk at this time, she looked at Roddy with a confused gaze, licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, as if she was expecting something, but Roddy just smiled and helped her and Neffie up to the second floor together, placed on the bed one left and one right, thought about it, and said softly: "Good night, my Miss Roussifron." β
Sally's heart beat a little faster when he was called it... He does not say that he is a "priest" but only "Miss Roussifron", is he proving... He didn't really take that priesthood seriously, did he?
So, isn't it in the future...
Thinking about it in her head, Sally listened to Neffi next to her in a daze: "Sister Sally, why does Brother Roddy call you Russifron?"
"That's my last name, Camilla, and my name is Sally Roussifron. β
"Hehe, it turns out that sister, you also have a surname, in fact, to tell you a secret... I have that too. β
Nafi's face was flushed, she rubbed in the quilt, reached out and wrapped her arms around Sally's waist, and stuck to it like an octopus - she always pestered people when she slept, and Sally was also used to the "problem" of little Lori's dishonest sleep, and pulled the quilt, she felt a little dizzy, so she simply closed her eyes and asked, "So what is Camilla's surname?"
"Camilla is my last name, my mother said that you can't tell anyone else your name, but Sister Sally is so good to me, I can tell you..."
"My name is Nefi, Nefi Camilla. β
When he said this, Nephie closed his eyes because he was sleepy, but he didn't notice at all... Sally's smile instantly froze on her face.
