6.Chapter 6: Provocation
After all, Roddy was not a good gentleman before the time travel, and there were many things he had done that made people feel chills - successfully assassinating the head of the enemy faction's guild alone, infiltrating behind enemy lines and slaughtering a large number of mid-level orcs and officers, or completely dismantling a guild that tried to hunt him down because of a verbal discord... He can do this kind of thing, and he can do it thoroughly.
But now, Luo Di, who is squatting at the entrance of Nolan Village, has finally made a lot of plans in his heart. I have to say that human adaptability is indeed strong, and after figuring out the situation, he quickly adapted to his current role and made a plan for everything he would do next.
Of course, the so-called plan can probably be boiled down to the following four sentences in his heart-
1。 Find the little wizard who died in the village of Mogra, and... Never let her go again.
2。 Let those bitche-raised orcs die.
3。 Let the undead of those bitches fuck off.
4。 Let those bitch-raised traitorous lords all fucking eat shit.
However, Luo Di thought about it and felt that it was better to eat a full meal before doing this.
The scouts were treated better than the bitter farmers, and in Nolan Village, where most people mostly didn't eat breakfast, the scouts were one of the few who had food in the morning, and although it was only rough grain, it was better than nothing. Roddy, who is usually used to eating boxed lunches or fast food at the doorstep, endures the hard and black bread and the tasteless ale, and is wondering where to start with his "great cause of revenge", and before he finishes eating, he hears someone calling him.
"Lo... Roddy, Captain Carter has just been assigned a new task, the team will leave in two hours, this time the scope of the patrol has been increased, and the captain asked me to inform you just now. ”
"See, those orcs will not rest after discovering that the corpse has no head, and they may encounter them today, so be prepared. Roddy originally just wanted to nod his head and forget it, but when he thought that this was not a game, he immediately told these guys who were also going to go to the battlefield in a while to be careful - he understood that he was now a [Legionnaire], so if he wanted to level up, he could only continue to follow the route of scouts in this formation. Once the lord cancels his identity certification, I'm afraid he will have to disappear even the attribute of the basic class, and it won't be fun at that time.
After a simple breakfast, the scout team needs to be reorganized into two teams due to the death of several members yesterday, which means that the three scouts who originally belonged to the first team will be temporarily cobbled together to Roddy's second team and follow the mission. Vice Captain Carter's attitude towards Roddy has made a 180-degree turn, and the meaning of care between words is not hidden, seeing that the vice-captain badge on his chest has become the main captain, Roddy did not regret yesterday's decision, after the whole team was finished, he came up alone, and said politely: "Captain, can I take a look at that horned bow? You know, if you meet an orc again, that bow... Probably better to use. ”
In the memory of "Lodi", Carter is a typical portrayal of the "soldiers" of this era - discussing the gossip of village women in his spare time, lamenting a few words about the harvest of the fields, teasing the tailor's daughter, and making some meat jokes with others. The ability is mediocre, the mind is not ambitious, the heart is also pure, and the life has to be passed.
So when the position of "captain" suddenly fell on his head, Carter himself was actually apprehensive and did not have much opinion. Hearing Roddy's request, and recalling the hole in the orc's head yesterday, his "official authority" that he didn't have much immediately disappeared, and immediately replied: "Take it and use it, you can only go to Dick for as many arrows as you need, and say that I approve it." ”
After speaking, he hesitated, quietly took out a few copper coins, looked around, and said in a low voice: "This is my little reward, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to see the sun today." ”
This is the pure side of his nature, and the only thing Carter from the village can take out is these copper coins. Seeing Luo Di's hesitation at this time, he simply stuffed the copper coin into his hand, and there was only gratitude and sincerity between his eyebrows.
Roddy didn't shirk it in the end, and in the memory of "Lodi", Carter, who was always boastful, had never shown such a side, and he didn't have many copper coins in his hand, but it was not a small amount for the scout's salary - maybe this battle really changed him a little.
They're all simple people... Roddy couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't think about these relationships anymore, after all, the most important thing now is to have enough force to deal with everything that may happen next.
Looking at the rough horned bows of the orcs, Roddy secretly sighed that these green-skinned barbarians were really tyrannical, and the good materials had been spoiled like this-looking up, he squinted his eyes and recalled the training experience he had here, and after thinking for a moment, he walked to the blacksmith shop on the east side of the village.
In the game, Roddy has been supporting himself by living as a deputy for a long time, and "Archer" and "Leather Maker" are the top level of "Grand Master", so at this moment he knows how to maximize the accuracy of the orc horn bow in his hand - if needed, Roddy finds that he can skillfully make leather and bow - if needed... Moreover, the quality and quality of the things that come out of this way must be ahead of its time.
This may be one of the few pieces of good news since his rebirth.
His head was trying to adapt to this very real world, and he kept coming to the front of the tinkling blacksmith shop, where Stan the blacksmith from Nolan knew Roddy and was very happy to hear that he was going to borrow tools. It was not long before Roddy removed the bowstring, began to trim the bowstring, adjusted the nest of arrows on the bowstring, and filed a smaller bow window, and after an hour of all this, he went to Dick at the quartermaster office with the horned bow of great size.
Nolan Village is small, and the lord can't stay here for more than three days a year, but as one of the most marginal villages on the border, no matter how calm it is, it will eventually face the threat of orcs. Roddy's gaze swept over the end of the field of vision - on the other side of the endless grassland, is the country of the orcs, the impression that these guys have been harassing the borders of the Karen Kingdom since the start of the service, according to the time forward, Roddy believes that those orcs will not be honest at this moment, it is estimated that things like looting will always happen in bad years.
As a level 1 character, how can you stop the orcs?
The goal was too big, but it wasn't an impossible task for Roddy, he thought as he stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated warehouse on the side of the village.
"Fifty arrows, Captain Carter said hello. Although he ripped Carter's tiger skin, it was inferred from the memory of "Lodi" that Carter was actually not very eye-to-eye with the quartermaster, so he also carried three copper coins in his outstretched hand.
Quartermaster Dick was one of the few fat men in Nolan Village, and when he saw those copper coins, his originally slightly frowning brows immediately raised, and he said with a smile: "Captain Carter, today's mission doesn't look easy, I heard that he killed six orcs yesterday... Tut-tut, I really can't tell that he is a real person and does not show his face. ”
What a hypocrisy. Roddy smiled all over his face and sighed inwardly.
"Captain Carter's swordsmanship is very powerful, those orcs don't have any enemies at all, they're just some waste..."Roddy felt that he seemed to be more hypocritical after speaking, but this kind of thing had not been done before, and he was not uncomfortable.
Dick turned around and brought two bundles of arrows from the old warehouse, and Roddy hurriedly went up to help with enthusiasm on his face, and asked in a low voice, "I have one more thing... Can you cut a piece of old leather armor for me?"
"Broken skin?" should be—no" Dick's eyelids lifted, his movements froze, he straightened up and looked at him obliquely, Roddy scolded in his heart while smiling and took out two more copper coins, and without speaking, stuffed them into the other party's hand.
"Ahem, maybe there's anything left, I'll help you find it. ”
Dick was on a full shelf, and Roddy really couldn't figure out how such a small village could meet such a awesome quartermaster, so did the quartermaster of the Knights of Hollier City regard himself as a lord?
That being said, he couldn't stand the fact that he was only a scout at the moment, and Roddy could only admit it secretly.
Dick didn't take long to come back with a palm-sized cowhide and asked, "Is this okay?"
Luo Di hurriedly thanked him, took it and prepared to cut it himself.
He wanted cowhide because he needed a strong enough finger guard to pull the horn bow - the weight of this horn bow was much larger than the scout's short bow, and the finger guards for the scout were all simple thin cowhide, which could not withstand the strength of the horn bow at all, and if the finger guards were not strong enough to estimate five arrows, the numbness and pain of the fingers would greatly affect the accuracy.
Finally found what he was looking for, but as soon as he turned his head, Roddy almost hit a guy head-on in the chest.
"What are you doing here, and when is it your turn to get something from the Quartermaster's Department?"
This scolding made Roddy raise his eyebrows, he glanced at the guy in front of him, and then remembered that this was the middle-aged strong man Ruge who scolded him last night. The other party has a big waist and a round waist, and his momentum is calm, and he always looks at people with a pair of triangular eyes with a sense of disdain, perhaps because the scout team in the village is used to it, he has never put a young man like Roddy in his eyes, and he doesn't even bother to look at Roddy at this time.
In the memories that belong to "Lodi", Ruger is the captain of the first scout team and the most difficult veteran ruffian in the entire Nolan village. His archery and swordsmanship are good, and because he has experienced the war with the orcs, he looks arrogant and swaggering in front of a group of juniors. Although the character is not bad, it is really annoying.
Quartermaster Dick didn't like Ruger either, but he also knew that this guy was not easy to mess with, so he exchanged a few awkward pleasantries and tried to steer the topic away.
But Ruger waved his hand, "Don't follow me." ”
Ignoring Dick's embarrassed expression, his eyes moved to the horn bow in Roddy's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, Roddy's hand was raised, making him scratch empty.
For Ruger, who had never been provoked by anyone, this action was like a fuse, instantly igniting his stinky temper like a cannon battle-
"The bitch-bred bastard turned against you, and you can still use a horned bow?"
The veteran ruffian Ruger always habitually spoke ill of people of lower status and less seniority than him, and poked his finger on Roddy's chest, "Tell you, you are only suitable for hunting rabbits." This kind of thing, I advise you to give it to me honestly. ”
His fingers hurt a little when he poked his chest, but Roddy stood there without moving, only his eyes narrowed slightly.
Roddy's gaze stayed on the insignia of Captain Rughna for a moment, and he thought for a moment in his heart, and then suddenly raised his head - at this moment, the Ranger Roddy seemed to reappear from the distant time and space, although he did not have his previous body and face, but the cold momentum was clearly felt by the quartermaster Dick beside him.
Roddy looked into Ruger's eyes, and that kind of direct gaze was like staring at a target: "If you can shoot it better than me, then I admit it." ”
In a word, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.
Dick, who still wanted to play the good old man, immediately shook his head and walked away in amusement. He understands what is happening... I'm afraid it can't be good.
Although he only killed thousands of enemies in the game, his long-term persistence and lonely combat gave Roddy a cold and terrifying aura - before he was reborn, he was not a superior like thousands of guild leaders, and the so-called "majesty" was probably not much, but the posture of his body inadvertently inevitably revealed some dangerous signals.
For human beings, a social group, "walking alone" always has to pay more price. And Roddy's ability to survive alone on the treacherous "Ripp" continent and make it all the way to the first echelon of players speaks a lot in itself...
One of the most important points is that the bloody battles he has experienced are far more brutal than those team battles with dozens or hundreds of people.
Ruger raised his hand and wanted to take away the horned bow, but at this moment, his hair stood up from Rody's gaze - he was not a recruit, and he had also been on the battlefield to kill orcs, so he was very sensitive to this kind of aura. And for a moment, his steps even wanted to go backwards.
But soon, he cursed in his heart, and straightened his chest as if he didn't believe in evil.
As the captain of the scout, Luger had seen the old duke's guardian knight from afar in Hollier City, and the other party was awe-inspiring in his gestures, and there was really a mountain-like majesty, but Roddy in front of him seemed to have just a "ruthlessness".
