136.Chapter 136: It Was Him!
The Duke of Angmar's excitement came from the fact that he not only knew the name "Rohar's Hammer", but could even be said to have a "connection" with the other party.
During Angmar's more than thirty years in power, the civilians of Evta's territory were not untroubled by orcs, and Angmar once ordered the soldiers to resist, but with little success. Like the veteran Ruger, the entire team was almost wiped out, and this amazing battle loss ratio caused the Rusifron family to suffer a lot of blows, and even later demoralized, and they didn't dare to go head-to-head with the orcs...
This is an absolute disgrace for the Duke of Angmar.
The wolf on the family logo originally represented the great exploits of the first generation of Rusifron ancestors when they fought with the orcs, but in this generation, he was chased by the orcs of the "Hammer of Rohar" like a dog... How could this not make him angry? So Angmar had vowed to collect the debt from the orcs ten years ago, but after the undead had caused the undead, the vow had been completely broken.
But now everything Luo Di said made him feel uncontrollable in his heart for a moment - because Luo Di's behavior was equivalent to directly washing away the shame that the orcs had brought to this family!
"Good—good!"
Two good words in a row are enough to prove Duke Angmar's excitement, he will not suspect that Roddy is making up a story to bluff himself, because it is completely unnecessary, his cheeks are slightly rosy, obviously a manifestation of qi and blood, but such emotions were quickly suppressed by him, and his voice also regained his calm, "Go on...... You killed the witch doctor?"
"That's exactly the problem," Roddy whispered, recalling a history that originally belonged to another plane, "that witch doctor has shown far more wisdom and dominance than his chieftain, and he has shown great aggression against the kingdom of Karen - the outposts outside Nolan Village that I led my team to eradicate are enough to illustrate this problem, and he also promised Francis a lot of benefits, and promised to give him at least five hundred wolf cavalry the right to use them to 'expand the territory'..."
These words came out of Francis's mouth, and Francis, who had had his wrist cut off, confided all the conditions that Sarota had promised, and at this time, when Angmar heard this information, his hot thoughts, which had just been hot, instantly cooled like a basin of cold water.
"Talking to the orcs about terms, it's just..."
He shook his head and sighed, the little thing in his heart that he couldn't let go of was finally completely dissipated at this time - for this son, his original idea was still very optimistic: even if he was not allowed to inherit the position of lord, he would at least be able to play a little role. But now it seems that his previous plan was still a little naïve, and he said very politely: If it weren't for Roddy doing so many things, I'm afraid that the territory of Evetta would not be completely encroached upon by the orcs in a short time!
And Sally, who was eavesdropping on the side, heard about the "deal" between Francis and Sarota for the first time at this moment, and such a shocking thing immediately made her original "guilt" completely dissipate, only to feel that the original depression in her heart seemed to disappear completely with these "secrets" confided by Roddy.
In the meeting room, the conversation between Roddy and the Duke of Angmar was still going on, but then the two knights couldn't help but ask a lot of questions about his journey into the orc kingdom, for which Roddy did not give all these questions, and many places passed by vaguely - after all, he could not explain the reason why he knew so much information about the orc kingdom, and could only attribute the success of this trip to the carelessness and paralysis of the enemy.
As for how much the two knights and the duke believed, Luo Di didn't care, anyway, now that the two sides are already on the same front, the shared resources and "private goods" are not so clear.
After talking for a long time, Angmar felt that there was no need to let Roddy say so much at once, so she appropriately changed the topic, looked up and looked around, and wondered, "By the way, why hasn't Sally come yet?"
"This Nizi, she is probably still angry...", the Duke looked at Roddy with a smile, "Roddy, Sally, she is to you... It doesn't seem the same as it does to others. ”
Sally, who overheard all this not far away, instantly blushed and wanted to get up and go over to interrupt her father's straightforward inquiry, but she wondered in her heart how Roddy would answer - she bit her lip and finally decided to prick up her ears and continue to listen intently...
"Miss Sally, she... Ahem, I think it's probably because I've happened to run into her in crisis or something a few times—"
I thought about the words described in my mind for a long time, but when I thought of the words "too many words will be lost", I immediately replied in a "jack-of-all-trades" style: "She is a good girl, well... I think so. ”
Fortunately, there is no such thing as a "good guy card" in this era, otherwise Sally, who was eavesdropping at this time, would probably go berserk immediately.
"Heh... I won't ask too much about young people, but you have to understand that she will definitely be the lord of Evta's territory in the future. ”
Angmar doesn't care what Roddy thinks, no matter how good he is, the grace of saving his life is the grace of saving his life, even if he repays the favor, he will never choose his daughter to "send" someone, not to mention that he only has such a baby daughter left...
"I know, I know..."
Luo Di nodded brainlessly, and secretly said in his heart, old man, you really misunderstood, but you can't make other expressions on your face, you can only grin silly.
"Roddy, you will stay in the Duke's Court these days, no matter what, the Rusiflon family will regard you as their most important friend, I can guarantee that. Seeing that the time was almost up, Angmar motioned for Roddy to rest in the mansion, "As for the undead... How about talking about those things in the evening?"
"No problem. ”
Roddy nodded, but then made his first request after coming here: "The scout team is still in the Cambay area, I think if I can..."
"They are all heroes of the Roussiflon family, and they are also proud. Angmar waved her hand and said with a smile: "I can only think about such a thing as being able to rush into the orc kingdom and retreat with all my body, but now you guys have really done it... No one is allowed to miss the dinner!"
This was a complete agreeing attitude, and it could be seen that the Duke of Angmar was in a good mood all of a sudden, and Roddy was relieved to hear this, and then went to the room where he was going to stay today, led by the maid, to rest - but before he walked out of the living room, he saw a hastily disappeared skirt at the end of the corridor...
It wasn't hard for Roddy to guess that it was Sally who had left in a hurry, but he was very confused at this time... Why did she run?
In the evening, the monastery "Rosicrucius".
Bishop Rubens, who had returned here, had been busy almost all afternoon -- he had to transcribe several reports on the "spirits" to be sent to his superior, Bishop Carder, and the archbishops of several other dioceses.
"I'm still old..."
Shaking his head, his face still a little hot as he remembered what had happened at noon today—fortunately it had all happened in the cafeteria, and if Benjamin or any priest had followed him, he was afraid that such a thing would soon become the laughing stock of his colleagues in the "Temple".
Looking up at the window, he found that it was evening, and he got up to go out for a walk, but happened to meet Benjamin who walked in from outside.
"That's a lot going on?"
"I've just come back from the city square to make sure that the troops are enough for the next speech. ”
Benjamin's face was tired, he picked up the water glass on the table and drank most of it, looking tired.
"There should be no problem with the speech on the twenty-fifth, but Akasha has never been traced, and it is a pity after all..."Rubens sighed, put this insignificant pagan priest aside from his mind, and said instead: "By the way, I heard something in the Duke's Palace at noon, related to the undead, these letters should be sent later, there are a lot of things involved, we must send them as soon as possible." ”
What happened in the Duke's Palace, Rubens naturally did not go into detail, at this time, seeing that Benjamin was quite tired, he also sat aside and asked: "By the way, you told me in the morning that you found the shooter, but you didn't have time to talk about it later, do you have time to talk to me about this now?"
"He..."
Benjamin exhaled, took another sip, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This guy is very powerful, Sally was almost assassinated in the monastery some time ago, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have the face to see you..."
"And that matter?"
Rubens raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with interest, and then Benjamin elaborated on everything that had happened that day, but did not add to the vinegar - after hearing this, the overseer felt in his heart that such a person did have some means and courage, and with the precision of the archery displayed by the other party in the square, if he was introduced into the "temple", he was afraid that he would be able to hold a high position.
"So what is this guy's identity, and where is he now?"
The Overseer pondered how to get in touch with the other party, and even when he asked the question, he had already begun to draw up a reward for the other party.
"He... It's a bit strange to talk about identity. Benjamin sighed, "With so many things done, can you believe he's just a Scout Team leader?"
"Scout Squad... Captain?"
Rubens turned his head, his expression suddenly looking very weird, "That's... What's his name?"
"Roddy, the Scout Captain of the Rusiflon family in Nolan Village, should be a second lieutenant according to his military rank, he-Rubens?"
Before Benjamin finished speaking, he saw that the whole face of the overseer in front of him twitched several times in a row, and it looked like he had been punched several times, and immediately stepped forward and asked a few words of concern, but Rubens never answered him, he looked like he had lost his soul, and muttered in a low voice, "It turned out to be him... It turned out to be him... No wonder..."
