Sally's mood at this time was slightly anxious, she felt more and more that Roddy had fallen into such a situation, completely because of her own willful nonsense before, but at this time, no matter how she used the topic to redeem it, Roddy was still "You talk about yours, I eat mine" - after staying like this for a long time, Sally finally relented and decided to talk to this guy for a few days to save some face, but when he just raised his head, he found that Roddy was looking at him upright...

This direct gaze made Sally's cheeks flush a little, but then she noticed that Roddy's expression suddenly became a little strange, and that gaze was also slightly biased, and moved to the side—and following Roddy's gaze, Sally found that what he was looking at was Mel, the maid behind her.

Mel also noticed Roddy's gaze, and asked with some confusion, "Captain Roddy, is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"Oh, can you help me..."Roddy smiled and picked up the wine glass in his hand and shook it, "... Pour the wine

"It's good."

Mel nodded in response, and then walked over to Roddy, pouring the wine, only to find that the scout captain's eyes were always on him...

What does this mean?

Not only Mel, but even Sally didn't understand why Roddy was doing this—what was staring at other people's maids for no reason? Mel can't be a bad person, it's hard to say that he likes this type of woman

The girl's associative ability is to break through the sky, not to mention the ability to eat flying vinegar, at this time, although Sally didn't believe that Roddy's head would cramp to look like an ordinary maid of her own house, but such an idea still made her heart sour...

Of course, as a native of this world, Sally would never have thought of what Roddy was worried about at this time

In fact, a few minutes ago, Roddy was bored thinking about the advanced mission of "Demon Hunter", and then he really couldn't think of it, so he suddenly had a whim, trying to compare the two knights, Titus and Wellington, who was more powerful, so he secretly opened the "Peripheral Character Status Bar" to see which of them was of higher level.

However, for this reason, he immediately became aware of someone in this room... A little off.

The names of all the maids, even Steward John, were harmless "green" in Roddy's eyes, but the maid behind Sally had a basic level almost the same level as Roddy, showing yellow.

The "Nearby People Status Bar" can't show whether a stranger is friend or foe, so he can't ask Mel directly if he's just secretly protecting Sally's female bodyguard?

However, the cautious Roddy still felt that this situation was not quite right, especially after the Duke's Palace had a "undead spy" like Alpha before, he would never be naïve to think that there would be no catty here. So when the maid named "Mel" was pouring wine beside him, he suddenly interrupted Bishop Rubens's discussion of "the relationship between believers and sects" and asked directly: "By the way, have you ever heard of the ghosts of the Tasman Kingdom?" ”

When such words came out, everyone was stunned, including Mel, who had just finished pouring wine for Roddy. The maid's heart was sudden, but because she had been used to her expression in the past, she didn't show any superfluous expressions at this time, but slowly retreated behind Sally with the same expression...

"Tasman? There's been no news there's been a long time, Captain Roddy, can you name something new? ”

The interrupted Overseer frowned at Roddy, he already had a big opinion about the inconspicuous but impolite Scout Captain, so his words were already vaguely prickly at this point.

But the Duke of Angmar on the side raised his eyebrows slightly, faintly thought of something, and said quietly: "The Tasman Kingdom has existed for thousands of years, and although it has remained silent for most of the time, I remember that they still had several exchanges with the Karen Kingdom, and they all maintained a friendly attitude. If memory serves, the last time I heard from them was twenty-two years ago. ”

Roddy and the Duke glanced at each other, although the two had never communicated much, but at this time they had an indescribable "tacit understanding" - Angmar's words gave him a chance to continue to express, so Roddy immediately answered: "That's right, some time ago, I heard from a bard the name of an undead and a story, it seems to be called... Ansadin or what... The story is about the undead trying to destroy an entire continent or something, and I've been wondering, will the Tasman Kingdom do that? ”

Roddy glanced at Mel standing behind Sally intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke, and his "environmentally acute" fighting posture made him immediately confirm a possibility, but before Roddy could say anything else, Rubens's cold snort made the atmosphere at the table freeze all of a sudden—

"It's just nonsense"

The overseer waved his hand, apparently utterly scoffing at Roddy's remarks, "Can the bard's words be believed?" Can hearsay stories be believed? Captain Roddy, do you think it's funny to do something like this?

This was a merciless rebuttal, although his tone was still calm, but the rather imposing majesty of the superior still made the table instantly quiet...

Roddy rubbed his eyebrows, but didn't respond. Duke Angmar's expression was confused, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Rubens; Sally, like the two knights, looked left and right in confusion, not understanding why this situation had happened...

At this time, the dessert had been served, which almost meant the end of the luncheon, and Rubens was not interested in continuing to hold on to Roddy, and instead said another purpose for coming here today:

"Forget it, let's talk about something else—Bishop Benjamin kept mentioning in his letters that Sister Sally was extremely talented in the practice of magic before he arrived in Hollier, and now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have confirmed this fact."

Seeing that everyone at the table except Roddy had turned their eyes, he continued, "After this talk, I am also going to return to the Temple, so I hope to bring Mother Sally back with me and participate in the Temple Fellowship for about two years. ”

"This is the 'Temple', which is only screened once every five years, and I myself only have one place in this plan, so I hope that the Duke will fulfill it, and it can be regarded as my gratitude to the Roussiflon family... Thank. ”

As soon as Rubens's voice fell, the restaurant fell silent.

Duke Angmar squinted slightly, quickly thinking about the hidden message behind Rubens's words, while Sally frowned, still not understanding what such "further education" meant.

But soon she remembered what she had heard a long time ago: every six years, the "Rosicrucian" clergy above the Episcopal would select some highly gifted young people from all over the country and bring them to the "Temple" for two years or more training... In the past, these people were all called "genius" existences, but after entering the "Temple" and cultivating, not to mention, their strength skyrocketed, and even their status would rise with it, and those young overly bishops and diocesan bishops were basically such figures.

And now, Rubens is telling Sally that she has such opportunities and qualifications

At first, my heart was happy, but then I suddenly trembled...

for a period of two years.

Thinking about this time limit, Sally immediately sensed what such an opportunity meant—if she followed the Exgere out of here, she would probably never see Roddy again for two years

Two years

Sally felt that her breathing suddenly became difficult, and although she used to cry because of the story of the "princess and the knight" in the bard's mouth, when such a thing really happened to her, the great helplessness immediately weighed down like a mountain...

Her eyes were confused for a moment, and many jumbled thoughts kept popping up in her heart: To go or not to go? How do you talk to Roddy? Will he wait for me? Could it be that when I come back, he will already fly away? Or...

If such a thing is taken away, Sally can definitely think about the problem clearly, but at this time, because of Roddy in her mind, the so-called "balancing pros and cons" is immediately completely ignored in front of perceptual thinking

She opened her mouth slightly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, but before Sally could answer the overseer anything, Roddy's words were very abrupt and ruthless in her ears:

"It's a good opportunity, it's better if you stay a few more years, it's better to stay there and not come back

Stay longer... Years? Stay there... Not coming back?

Sally stood there, her head buzzing, but she couldn't believe what Roddy said—didn't he even want to see himself? Does he wish he had left and never come back?

He, he, how can he be like this?

Does he hate himself so much?

The girl's idea is definitely not pulled back by seven or eight cows. Sally remembered Roddy's performance when she confessed before, and the sourness in her heart suddenly surged uncontrollably, her nose was sore, and tears almost fell directly.

"I... I'm not feeling well..."

Sally covered her mouth and looked at Roddy for three or four seconds, tears glistening in her eyes, then she turned around and ran out of the restaurant sobbing...

Rubens was stunned by such an abrupt change, and immediately blamed the "culprit" on the nonsensical Roddy, who turned his gaze to the scout captain with some annoyance, and angrily reprimanded: "Captain Roddy, what do you mean by these words? ”

The overseer has been in a high position all the year round, and such a face-rending rebuke really has a momentum, but Roddy ignored such a question at all, got up directly, and raised his arm in front of him...

This is like a hooligan who is ready to do something without saying a word, the corner of the overseer's eyes twitched, and the young man in his heart is really so arrogant, he wants to do it directly if he doesn't agree with him?

Seeing Roddy's reaction, Rubens immediately got up and prepared to respond, and the magic prayer in his mouth that was ready to attack had already begun to be recited, but as soon as he was halfway through the spell casting process, he found a problem-

Roddy didn't even look at him, instead focused on the maid behind Sally's seat.
