When winter comes, sunny days when snow melts tend to be the coldest.

After breakfast, Roddy handed the reply to Sally to Butler John, who was probably afraid that his father would peek at it, and what he wrote to himself was very formulaic, and there was no superfluous emotion. And Roddy is naturally not a romantic guy, seeing that Sally is living a good life, he put his mind down and didn't think much about it, and the content of the reply letter was also simple, saying some nonsense such as "Oh, I know", "That's it, come back and contact", and at the end he didn't reveal what he was doing now, perfunctory, and sent it out.

He knew very well that it was best for his relationship with Sally to fade down like this, and the only one he was looking for was Nephie from Mogra Village.

After a few words with the duke and giving Suren some guidance, Roddy then walked out of the duke's palace with Nata. However, neither of them expected that not long after walking out of the aristocratic area, a figure lying on the side of the road appeared in their field of vision - the other party was covered with snow and had obviously been frozen to death for a long time.

In this day and age, homeless beggars are always unable to survive in winter. Although I have long accepted this cruel reality in the game, when I really face it, I feel a little unbearable in my heart. Thinking that there would be a large-scale cold wave enveloping the kingdom at this time next year, Roddy couldn't help but be slightly worried...

In the face of natural disasters, no matter how great your ability is, you are powerless.

He sighed, walked indifferently past the corpse, and said to Nata as he went: "By the way, the horse farm behind the Duke's Palace can be used for archery practice, and when you come back in the afternoon, you can go there for daily training." ”

Last night's "accident" could not affect Roddy's plans for the future at all - for this guy with outrageous emotional intelligence, when he got up in sleep, he just did what he had to do, and he always remembered some inconsequential things, which can only be called hypocrisy.

At first glance, this may seem reasonable, but in fact it is "standing and talking without backache".

Nata had been silent since the morning, her face was as cold as frost, and she didn't even make eye contact with Roddy - and for Roddy's arrangement, she just nodded at this time and stopped talking, her eyes swept the old buildings covered with snow next to her, and the original curiosity in her heart had been deeply hidden.

Her cold response bored Roddy, who was about to say something, shook his head, turned into a path, stepped through the snow and found a blacksmith shop, knocked on the door as he did in the game, and began to take on the task.

He has two goals today, one is to get together the 350 experience points needed to level up, and the other is to get the "Rune Mosaic" that will be opened after advancing to level 3.

The biggest feature of "Battle Stance", "Title", "Talent", "Equipment" and "Rune Inlay" when you reach a high level is that you greatly enhance your "skills".

As a veteran player, Luo Di naturally attaches great importance to the aspect of "skills" - the fundamental role of "runes" is to strengthen skills, and this kind of expensive and cumbersome things are not common, and even many guys who have reached level 10 don't know what "runes" are...

At present, in the Karen Kingdom, I am afraid that only the highest-ranking group can realize the importance of "runes" to "skills", and others... Even the knights of Wellington and Titus, who were out on a mission, never paid attention to this.

This is also one of the advantages of the reborn, and Roddy naturally knows how to make good use of it.

The door to the blacksmith opened, and Roddy walked inside, quickly leading out with Nata - the difference was that he had an extra box of goods in his hand.

Carrying the goods to the other side of the city, Roddy handed it to a wrinkled old lady, wrote a letter for her, and then took a basket of vegetables from Cambay to the blacksmith in the trading area, all in a matter of more than two hours.

This puzzled Nata, because she found that Roddy seemed to have just been a "Lei Feng" in the city all morning, and he didn't do anything at all...

Nata couldn't figure out what Roddy was doing, and wanted to ask, but she was reluctant to speak, so she had to endure her strong curiosity and stand silently behind him.

Luo Di didn't care what she thought, because the total level was more than 15, and at this time, Holier City already had a lot of tasks that could provide experience, he chose to run errands and walked back and forth, and after easily getting 800 experience, he came to the largest hotel in the trade zone, entered the door and found a remote position to sit down, opened the panel, and directly clicked "upgrade".

The [Character Status Bar] shows that Roddy has finally reached "Demon Hunter Level 4", and two prompts pop up in the record bar below, reminding Roddy that he can upgrade "Leap" and "Rush" to level 2.

The remaining 550 experience is enough to upgrade the skill, and Roddy clicks it casually, so the two most commonly used maneuver skills have new attributes:

【Leap Level 2】

Consumes 15 energy

Use: Jump 1-5 meters in any direction (increase 1 meter maximum range)

Cooldown: 15 seconds

【Rush Level 2】

Consumes 30 energy

Use: 35% increased movement speed for 5 seconds (5% increased speed amplification)

Cooldown: 10 seconds

The improvement of skills is not large, but the cumulative effect is still amazing, Roddy is already familiar with this, so everything is familiar - sitting in this famous restaurant in Hollier City, there are still a lot of people eating around, and the atmosphere can be called lively, but Nata's cold appearance still gives Roddy a little headache...

"What would you like to eat?"

Nata tilted her head and snorted imperceptibly, "Whatever." ”

Roddy rolled his eyes, he rarely had a similar demeanor, but at this time he was obviously helpless - the restaurants in this period were different from modern times, there were not many dishes to choose from, basically ale, bread and the broth that the chef made today. So after Roddy threw two silver coins to the waiter, he leaned back on the wooden chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, but the fighting posture of "environmental acuity" made him clearly hear the discussion not far away...

“... I've heard that the Duke personally received it in front of the mansion, and this style is really unprecedented!"

"It is said that he killed a lot of undead, and he cut down Earl Owen directly, and killed hundreds of people!"

"I heard that he is very good at bows and arrows—"

"Shhhh Don't you see both of them carrying bows over there?"

The conversation was silent for a moment, then continued.

"This year, I heard that there are more guys who come out to imitate after the back of the bow, and I saw one outside just now, carrying a basket of green cabbage leaves to run errands in the Cambay area, hehe... If that's Captain Roddy, I'll screw my head off and kick it for you. ”

Roddy pursed his lips, not interested in going over and kicking him in the head—the feeling of being named and discussed—but it was unpleasant, and he thought about it, but reached out and placed the short bow behind his back on the chair beside him.

Casually opening the taskbar, Roddy found that the words [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] were no longer so bright red, but had turned "orange-red" - this means that Roddy's level is approaching the "right level" to complete the mission.

According to this calculation, the entire [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] Phase 1 task is estimated to be a mission that requires a total level of 25.

"I don't have enough time..."

Roddy looked downward, looking at the [147 days remaining] prompt, frowning slightly.

The waiter served warm ale and bread, and the meat and vegetables with the soup did not look good, but it was a pleasure to eat such food in the winter - even Nata, who was always strained in her face, would inadvertently show a satisfied expression when faced with sumptuous food...

Whether it is humans or wood elves, the people living at the bottom cherish this hard-won stability. Luo Di looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh silently: when the war comes, how many people will starve to death in the cold winter because they can't eat?

Myself... Can this really be stopped?

"No one can stop His Majesty Augustine!"

Thousands of miles away, a hoarse roar echoed through the windswept woods.

The Tasman kingdom - or more appropriately the "Land of the Dead" - finally confirmed its plan of action against the kingdom of Cullen on this winter day, and it was His Majesty Augustine's appointed head of operations: Baron Belom.

The gray-white skeleton war horse rode under his crotch, a cold armor made his originally dry body slightly broader, and his gray-white eyes glowed with fanatical light, showing his loyalty to His Majesty Augustine, and... Cruelty to the enemy.

"Lord Baron, the intelligence office on the other side of the gondola has confirmed that it is safe... We're ready to go. ”

Belom's lieutenant was a thin undead named Ek, with a hole in his jaw and a leaky speech—rather comical looking.

"Your Majesty... I'm finally willing to take this step!"

The undead baron pulled the reins, raised his head slightly, and looked up at the mountain in front of him that surrounded the Tasman Kingdom, and the eyes behind the cold helmet bloomed with excitement: "Listen to my orders, forward!"

Fifty wagons, two hundred undead soldiers, and more than six necromancers set off for the borders of the Karen Kingdom, but their purpose was not to target the Karen Kingdom as Ansatine did.

He followed the personal edict of His Majesty Augustine: to find the technology to make the "Charged Crystal".

Apparently, Ansadine's defeat had a chain reaction. For several days in a row, the royal family of the Kingdom of Karen has thrown diplomatic letters on the "Dead Sea Chamber", causing an uproar in Parliament.

Carefully laid in ambush for seventeen years, once back to the pre-liberation period, this is the true portrayal of the undead in this defeat... His Majesty Augustine was silent, but the anger in his heart was needless to say. However, as a politician and careerist, no amount of anger and personal emotion must be pressed to the bottom of my heart - the Tasman and the kingdom of Karen will tear their faces sooner or later, but not now.

So Augustine politely sent a reply, abandoning his responsibilities and apologizing softly.

In the face of the strong man whose ambition and strength are at the apex, bow his head, except for the drunken royal family of the Karen Kingdom, I am afraid that no one will really think that the other party is "subduing".

The forbearance of the undead is unimaginable to ordinary people, Augustine has been planning for more than a hundred years, he has been waiting for such a long time, for the future of Tasman, the bending at this time, for him, is just throwing an invitation to the god of death to Karen...

When the "Charged Crystal" arrives, who else in the entire continent will be able to stop the footsteps of the deceased?

A cold wind blew, and Belom's team disappeared into the snow.
