What was displayed in front of Roddy's eyes was a one-handed sword with a simple style.

The weapons and equipment in "Ripp" are basically in the "realistic" style, and unlike some online games where the artist's brain is short-circuited, everything that can be seen here is basically realistic - it can even be said that except for the most high-end "artifacts", most of the people use real weapons that have appeared in history.

And the prototype of the one-handed sword in front of him is obviously a "Roman sword".

Although it is called a "long sword", it is much shorter than a regular one-handed sword, and there is no "sword grid". It looks like an enlarged "dagger", suitable only for stabbing, but not for slashing.

Elondegar's longsword

Epic Sword

Damage 135-203

+28 Strength

+2% Accuracy Chance

Equip: For each ally within a 5-meter radius, gain the "Morale Increase" effect.

Mosaic: A small slot.

Requirements: Base level 20, strength 130.

It's not surprising that the sword given by the quest has epic quality, but it's strange that its attack power doesn't meet the "epic" standard, but is in the "sophisticated" stage, and the additional attributes are also bland.

And when Roddy took a closer look at the "morale increase" buff, he was completely frightened...

"Morale Increase": Increases Strength by 2%, Constitution by 1%, and Increases by 0. 5% Accuracy Chance, increased by 0. 2% Critical Strike Chance.

It doesn't seem like much, but this buff doesn't limit the number of stacks, that is, if Roddy is standing in the middle of the formation with this sword in his hand, and there are 10 allies within a radius of 5 meters, then his "morale increase" buff will stack ten times!

This means that this sword will give Roddy an additional 20% Strength, 10% Constitution, 5% Hit, and 2% Critical Hit!

And that's just a conservative number, because in a circular area with a diameter of ten meters, there are theoretically far more than ten people who can stand, and if it is a dense infantry formation, it is possible to reach twenty people - and if the soldiers of the entire phalanx are equipped with such short swords...

Roddy swallowed: This sword is more than "epic"? if used properly, it is far more powerful than an artifact!

It is the best weapon for phalanx infantry, and it is prepared for large-scale warfare, whether it is used in terms of level, attributes, or effects.

Luo Di immediately thought of the "military factory" in his city that had not yet been activated: if this design fell into the hands of others, I am afraid that there would be no room for use at all, but in Elson City, which has the ability to forge weapons on the assembly line, the meaning of a "powerful weapon design drawing" will be infinitely magnified.

The appearance of this design made Luo Di suddenly figure out a lot of things: for the possible battles in the future, his focus should not only be on finding spar resources, but also on this kind of "scientific and technological resources" such as "armor design", "weapon design", "siege vehicle design", "battleship design" and so on.

It's just a fight for gold coins and connections, it is difficult for Luo Di, a "rising star", to confront the family and organization that has been entrenched in the mainland for a long time, and the only thing that can shorten the gap is "technology"!

The opening and manufacturing of the "Charged Crystal" was the first step in this revolution, and now, Roddy has finally figured out the direction of his second step.

His heart beat slightly, he got up and found the map of Evta's territory from the bookshelf, flipped through it, and found a map of the kingdom of Karon with few notes, and began to compare the route in his memory to find the location of this blueprint.

"The North Peak Mountains... Dead Whisper Canyon. ”

His fingertips stayed at the northernmost edge of the map, Roddy narrowed his eyes slightly, his knuckles tapped lightly on the table, and he whispered, "Out of the border... Barbarians, Lake Taal, King Solomon's treasure. ”

"I'm really going on a long trip. ”

July 25th.

The Temple, which did not pay attention to the "plague", was in a state of distress at this time, because of the outbreak of the second stage of the plague, several towns near the "Temple" were completely occupied by ghouls, and the number of "corpses" and "deaths" could not be counted, because all the teams that tried to approach were surrounded and wiped out by the overwhelming army of ghouls, which was unexpected by the Pope.

But at this moment, the dozens of pieces of letter sent from the city of Houllier made them very happy, because they clearly answered some of the most troublesome questions for the sect:

What is the principle of the outbreak of the plague and the route of transmission?

How to deal with ghouls in the most effective way?

How to cleanse the plague?

This systematic and targeted information can be called a "charcoal in the snow" for the "Rosace Cross" at this time.

According to this information, the surrounding area of the plague-infected area immediately began to be cleared, the original clueless Templar army quickly adjusted its combat policy, the priests began to participate in the battle with the most efficient means, and the "Templar" began to create a "quarantine zone" for the plague in an orderly manner, and then began to clean up one by one...

Although the plague eventually broke out and created tens of thousands of ghouls, that doesn't mean the Council of the Dead has the last laugh - the plague snowballs, and once the game gets off to a good start, the advantage will grow. On the contrary, if the initial advantage is not established, then the subsequent development of the plan will encounter unprecedented difficulties.

Fortunately, by the beginning of August, the plague in the vicinity of the Temple area was almost gone. The survivors are living in safe quarantine areas, and the towns and villages where the "ghouls" are located are being swept away one by one, and the locust spread... It's completely gone.

However, after extinguishing the fire in front of their house, the exhausted bishops discovered that the plague had also broken out in the royal city of Ignaz.

"What? Don't need support?"

Cardinal Rubens stood up and asked, "What about the specific casualties?"

"My lord, the royal city didn't give a casualty figure, but said..."

"Say what?"

"They seem to mean that... A solution has been found, and there is no intention of relying on the power of the sect to purify it. ”

Listening to the information reported by the priest, Rubens, who had been busy for several days, stood there for a long time, and only sighed after two or three minutes: "I understand. You stand down. ”

"By the way, I'm going to the Sistine Chapel in the afternoon... Go ahead and give a notice. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The door closed, Rubens closed his eyes and sighed lightly, "When is it time to engage in this kind of method..."

There was both anger and helplessness in his words: the only thing that could help the royal family clean up the plague now was the "Rosace Cross".

Obviously, His Majesty was bent on "balancing", so he desperately supported the infidels. From the ruler's point of view, there is nothing wrong with such an approach, but it also takes time to engage in politics, and at this time, the internal and external troubles of the Karen Kingdom can be seen by fools, and the enemies are still thinking about holding on to the power in their hands when they have reached their doorstep...

"Compared to Angmar, it's..."

Rubens grumbled and shook his head, and then began to write a reply to Sally, the "youngest duchess in the kingdom" and the status of a "Rosicrucian" priest, making Sally the focus of the "Rosicrucian". This time, the temple was able to get out of trouble, and the information from Roddy played a crucial role.

Therefore, the content of the letter is basically the sect's reward for the two of them in all aspects.

"At this rate, how far can you go?"

Rubens stroked his gray hair and sighed in a low voice, "Troubled times... Only in troubled times can we see who is the hero and who is the king. ”

August 10.

Martial law in the city of Holier has been lifted, commerce and agriculture in the territory have resumed normal operations, and the blood stains on the city square have been cleaned from several torrential rains.

A convoy walked through the once bloody road, through the city, and then stopped at the city gates.

"Is there really no danger in going out this time?"

"I've been to that place a few times and there's nothing to worry about. ”

Roddy looked at Sally who came to see her off, and said loudly: "Take care of yourself here, if you have a problem that you can't solve, write a letter to Elson, although it is difficult to contact me, but that staff member will provide you with support." ”

"Staff? Is it Nephie's mother?"

"Uh... It's her. ”

"Hmph. Sally pouted and turned her face to the side, "I know, I know, I can't keep you anyway, I can only wait here like a resentful woman." ”

Roddy scratched his head, a little unsure of how to answer.

"In short, no matter where you go, remember to miss me. ”

Sally smiled, then grabbed Roddy, stood on her heels with a light movement, and gently imprinted a kiss on Roddy's lips.

"Let's go... I can only be angry with her when you leave, but I'm not going to tell her I'm sorry. ”

Although Akasha and Sally made the same choice, it does not mean that the two women will be close... In the novel, the harmony of the harem and the closeness of the wives like sisters are fairy tales - the two priests can say hello when they meet, and Luo Di is already very grateful to the goddess Siqi.

Just as Roddy and Sally said goodbye at this time, Akasha sat in the carriage and never showed up.

The young duchess was still confident and active, but Roddy did not passively accept it this time, but kissed back lightly and said in a low voice: "I will return to Hollier as soon as I am done, and remember to welcome me when the time comes." ”

"As long as you don't bring other women back. ”

Sally said jokingly, her eyes were a little red because of the reluctance to part, but she tried to hold back this emotion, took a few steps back, waved, and then watched Roddy get into the carriage and walk away...

"After all... It's over. ”

Roddy looked at the figure outside the car window that had not left for a long time, and sighed in a low voice, but when he turned around, he was hugged by Akasha beside him-

"She deliberately got angry with me, and you still cooperated with her..."

"I want to make amends..."

As he spoke, the little priest's soft lips came up.

This... Is it a happy distress?

In Roddy's thoughts, the carriage headed north, gradually disappearing into the shadows of the forest.
