Chapter 739: Stepping on the Point
Obviously, the effect of this title's 1oo% increase in strength has an unimaginable effect on the "Magical Tentacles". Bayi Chinese ≥=.Roddy couldn't help but be overjoyed by this, and made various attempts while walking. As he reached the second floor, he felt that he should meet with Camila first to talk about the current situation—after all, in addition to thanking her, the Grand Arcanist might be able to help her break free from Elson's confinement.
With the help of the "map bar", Roddy Camilla is now in her own study in the mansion. So he stepped aside and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Camilla's voice rang out from inside the house, but she quickly realized that she couldn't sense it only when Roddy knocked on the door, so she quickly got up and opened the door.
Roddy smiled and prepared to say hello to the "Guardian", and he was even ready to answer the question of how Nefi stayed in Raciman, but when he looked at Camilla, his face changed suddenly.
Although Camila didn't have much expression on her face, and the reddish circles under her eyes were obviously crying before, her state was also extremely sluggish, and she obviously suffered some blow.
"It's back, it's good to be back. I-"
"What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"
Roddy's brow furrowed, he was sure that it had nothing to do with Nephie's stay at Raciman, after all, he had made it clear in his letter a few days ago. Could it be that something went on in the "magic exchange"?
"No, I just..."
Before she could come up with a reason, Roddy had already found the answer through the "map bar" - his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "What are the people from the 'Holy Order' running here for?"
This sentence completely made Camila give up resistance, she took a deep breath and turned her head: "They think this city belongs to the high elves, so they want me to give it away." ”
"Did you interrogate them?
Roddy was not surprised by this request of the "Holy Order", but he immediately guessed the reason for Camilla's low mood: after all, Camilla was once a member of the "Holy Order", and this group of "Holy Order" lunatics had absolutely nothing good to say about her when they saw her.
The main thing is... Camilla was deeply influenced by the "Holy Order", and it was difficult for her to completely get rid of the shadow of the other party in two years.
"I didn't ask too much, just wait for someone else to interrogate. Didn't the others come back with you?"
Seeing Camila's attempt to change the topic, Roddy felt that there was a serious problem. He said bluntly: "I rushed back early because I was afraid that you would be tired alone." So if you have any problems, don't be sloppy with me. You're not one of us who killed in the sea of blood, so it's normal for you to be soft-hearted and not to do it. So you don't have to go later, just take care of the rest. ”
Roddy said and moved his hands and feet, and smiled eerily: "A few rabbit cubs ran to Elson City and were caught, and they dared to play tricks." Somebody has to stand up and tell them how to be human again, right?"
"Flutter!"
Camila couldn't help but laugh at Roddy's funny expression, she covered her mouth and laughed, but the tears of laughter and laughter couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks, and the more she laughed, the more tears appeared on her face...
Camila was indeed angry with those four guys: she was used and abandoned by those guys in the Holy Order, and if it weren't for Roddy, she wouldn't have survived. As a result, now this group of people has come and been arrested, and all kinds of swear words and slanders have come out of their mouths.
If Roddy hadn't asked anything, she might have digested her emotions in a few days. However, now he looks like he wants to support himself, but it makes Camila relax her heartstrings all of a sudden, and she can no longer hold back the catharsis of her emotions.
After all, the feeling of someone willing to hold up a piece of the sky for you is a luxury that Camilla has always longed for but never experienced.
She wiped her tears harder, but more and more, Roddy next to her knew that women needed comfort at this time, and after thinking about it, he decided to open his arms and plan to gently hug Camilla - after all, he remembered that this was how the movies were played.
"A total of four people dared to come over and shout, and I don't know where they got their confidence. This kind of opponent's words are not worth remembering, just leave it to me later. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Camilla threw herself into his arms and clasped her hands together like a driftwood drowning man.
She didn't cry, she just kept weeping. Roddy was tall, hunched slightly, and felt the scent of her in a trance—because Camila and Neffie both seemed to smell the same, and when he closed his eyes, he thought he was hugging Nephie from another plane.
After the initial grievances and resentment were vented, Camila felt much better, but she greedily did not let go of her hand... Because she knew in her heart that it might be difficult for her to have the opportunity to experience this feeling again in the future.
Her heart was beating a little faster, and her face was reddening slightly. Roddy's large hand pressed against her back seemed to have a magical heat, making Camila feel like she was soaking in warm water, and finally simply closed her eyes and leaned against his chest.
"Are you feeling better?"
It didn't take long for Roddy's words to wake her up from that comfortable state. She took a deep breath, left the warm embrace, rubbed her red eyes, and bowed her head, "I feel better..."
"Because it's not worth it to be angry, I see you've lost a lot of weight. Haven't eaten well in this time?"
Luo Di tilted his body and deliberately looked at her: "Let's go, help me arrange something to eat first, I'm really going to vomit when I came all the way to eat jerky." ”
"Okay, well, I haven't seen any city lord who knows that he is hungry. My baby daughter was abducted and left in another big 6, I hope you can explain it to me at the dinner table..."
"Well... Nephie has grown up, we have to respect her own wishes, right?" said Roddy as he rubbed his hands in anticipation: "I'm starving, I want to eat meat, lots and lots of meat!"
Camila was amused by his appearance, but she was inexplicably happy - because when she and Roddy talked about Nephi as if they were discussing their daughter in common, this feeling really made her a little dizzy like drinking.
"I'm having a great time watching those mages speak, and I'm going to finish a short speech tomorrow before they start. You'll preside over the meeting, and I'll listen to what they have to say. ”
"No problem. ”
Camila followed behind Roddy, and the unhappiness caused by the four members of the "Holy Order" had long been forgotten.
As the news spread that "the city lord of Elson has returned and will give a brief speech tomorrow", the mages in the city seemed to remember that the "main lord" had been absent at this time. However, for them, it didn't matter if Roddy came or not, many of them had already experienced the resources and benefits provided by Elson City very exactly, and they all wanted to continue to listen to the report - if it weren't for Roddy's speech scheduled before the start of the Magic Tower report, they probably wouldn't be interested in listening to it.
But for Dominique and others who are hidden in the city, this means the opportunity they are waiting for... It's finally here.
As a descendant of the High Elves, Dominic knows more about "Elson City" than most people. So he is well aware of the power of the "Guardian", and he also understands the power of the "City Lord" in the city.
But in terms of strength, the "Guardians" are borrowing the power of the entire city to fight, far from being comparable to normal mages. And the "City Lord" is just an enhancement of his own strength, no matter how powerful he is, he can't be stronger than the experienced Arcanist.
Therefore, in order to control the city, they must not only control the "Guardian" as soon as possible, but also kill the "City Lord" in the shortest possible time - because only after the "City Lord" dies, the "Guardian" can determine a new candidate to inherit control of the city.
And for the Dominic Elder who has the "Forbidden Ball", it is a sure thing to make Camila submit. So his plan is also very simple - with Roddy and Camilla present at the same time, he can solve the two of them as quickly as possible.
"It's getting dark, let's go, let's go to the square, don't stay here all the time. ”
Dominic's instructions still sound like a normal chat, but the Arcanists know that it means that they will be going to the square tonight to "step on the spot" to familiarize themselves with the terrain and practice spell casting in advance.
With the surprise attack of twelve Arcanists, combined with one Arcanist Elder, the operation is sure to be a success when the enemy has lost their alert!
As night fell, the city of Elson was still brightly lit. The arrival of the mages further boosted commercial activity in the city. Even though the kingdom outside the city is in the midst of a cold winter, it is still warm as spring. This alone was enough for caravans that would not have been willing to travel back and forth in winter, so that the roads leading to the towns outside the city could still be seen at this time.
Just follow the road and you don't have to worry about getting lost, and you don't have to worry about muddy or soft bad roads. The improvement of traffic conditions has increased the efficiency of all business activities. Nowadays, whether it is a mercenary, a caravan or a wandering traveler, as long as they see the smooth "road", they will have a good feeling in their hearts.
And for Sodrol and others, who appeared on the road in the early hours of the morning, the appearance of this straight road surface is almost equivalent to the hope of survival.
At this time, they were already embarrassed. Even if he had a spare horse, he would die of exhaustion due to lack of rest for several days of running. Now the monster that followed behind him was still haunted, and it was as fast and unstoppable as Nora expected—after approaching the Elson area, all the possible monsters around him did not dare to step forward to stop it, because the aura of the Koswo dragon was unimaginably strong, and even the most ferocious creatures were afraid to avoid it.
Fortunately, the Koswodi dragon is not a monster with unlimited physical strength, and it also needs to drink and eat during its long-distance run, otherwise Sodrore and the others may not even be able to stop and rest. But even so, they are nervous and physical strength is getting worse and worse when they sleep now.
After all, whoever stands up for such a terrifying monster chasing hundreds of kilometers must be worried.
