Three kilometers west of the city of Holier.

As a territorial prefecture, Hollier is not only the most prosperous city, but it is also surrounded by far more dense villages than other regions. The village of Lax, not far from the West City Gate, is located just upstream of the river that flows outside Hollier.

The village has a population of more than 400 people, neat fields and rotating windmill mills, and farmers walking by in twos and threes on country roads.

And in this peaceful village, three guys in gray robes are in a wooden house, respectfully waiting for a reply from their boss Wenbsk.

Few people wore long robes in summer, but the four people in this room were all tightly covered, their faces were pale, their eyes looked a little hollow, and their voices were even more hoarse:

"So... The target will arrive in Houllier City tomorrow? ”

"Yes, Lord Wembsk, and according to the informant's return, the Duke's daughter even prepared a welcoming ceremony for him."

"Heh... Welcome ceremony. Wembsk raised his gaze, his fingers twitching the staff in his hand, "It's better to save the team a trip to Elson City." ”

The pharmacist who spoke, Wembske, spoke in a very light tone, as if in his eyes the tasks of "destroying Roddy" and "destroying the city of Miè Holier" were not as difficult as they could be—of course, he did have the capital to think at this time: the Tasman Kingdom had studied the plague for more than ten years, and the power was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

As for "eliminating Roddy", it is his mission to follow the orders of the council and avenge Magda, Belom and others.

Wembsk was not an Augustinian man, he was part of the Tasman Noble Council. In terms of political background, he is different from the undead who entered the Karen Kingdom before, so Wembske's understanding of Rodi is still limited to the stage of "Scout Captain", and he doesn't take the other party to heart at all.

"My lord, do you need to bring that Duke of Angmar with you..."

"Thomas, do you know what is the most painful thing for an old man?"

"Angmar has half a foot in the coffin, but he has put all his hopes in his daughter - so if he sees his daughter die in front of him... Oh, that's what hurts him the most. ”

Wembsk's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled into a sinister smile: "The loss they brought to the Tasman, the council will definitely make it double up."

"Long Live the Tasman"

"Long Live the Tasman"

The slogans of the undead echoed in the room, and Wembsk slowly stood up, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart: "Prepare for action, let's witness the arrival of a new era..."

The next day, the sky was shining brightly in Ivotah.

Looking at the city of Houllier that appeared in view, Roddy remembered the undead Magda who had fought here, and asked casually, "Akasha, what does it feel like to control the undead?" ”

"It's not clear, it's like you're manipulating your fingers, you don't have to think about anything, and the orders are for the soldiers to carry out. However, I can only give some vague commands, and if they are too specific, they will make me think... Some headaches. ”

Akasha answered Roddy's question very seriously, and then asked with some concern, "Isn't it rare for me to be in such a situation?" A priest can control the undead..."

"It's rare, but it's not incomprehensible," Luo Di pointed in the direction of the Silent Forest, "Even the dragon clan has been lost by us, what else is strange in this world?" ”

Akasha knew that he was trying not to think about it too much, and her heart was warm, and she replied with a smile: "Actually, I've been thinking about these questions, and I've looked up a lot of literature in Elson's library, and I've tried... I understood the principle of manipulating the undead. ”

This answer surprised Roddy, but he quickly remembered that the docile little priest next to him actually had the potential to be a "scholar", and his memory and ability to touch and bypass were absolutely strong - he was also a little curious: "How is it?" Can you control the undead? ”

"How do I know? Elson, who has no free will, asked me to go to the real yàn. ”

Akasha reached out and grimaced at the corner of her eye, "Besides, I don't want to be an ugly necromancer. ”

Roddy laughed and reached out to pinch her soft cheek, and the two of them rode along the road to fight, attracting the sideways glances of the peasants and caravans along the way.

It wasn't a long way from the gates of Hollier, and when they entered the city, they were each moved by the familiar buildings around them: Akasha had been a wanted heretic the last time she left here, but now she looked at the monastery and there was no fear in her heart.

Roddy thinks back to the events that happened in the city: the siege in front of the convent, the scuffle in the square, the ballista bombardment of Magda, etc., and the misunderstanding with Sally...

Misunderstand...

The memory came to an abrupt end, because when he thought of "Sally", Roddy's originally free breathing suddenly became a little stagnant, and the smile on his face gradually subsided

"Roddy?"

"Huh?"

"There's a team up ahead, and it looks like it's blocking the road."

Akasha pointed ahead, and Roddy looked along, only to realize that there was a "typical" contingent of nobles blocking the way on the narrow road in front of him.

The so-called "typical" is the unique pomp and circumstance of the young aristocrats of this era when they take to the streets...

Dressed in a blouse with ornate embroidery, delicate belts, leather boots and breeches, with an intricately patterned sword hanging from his waist, and a tall horse of pure blood, such an outfit almost engraved the word "noble" on his face.

The six attendants around were dressed in uniform leather armor, and as they advanced, they blasted aside passers-by who had no time to dodge.

Roddy looked at the family crest on the side of the saddle and explained to Akasha, "This is the inrest of the Winston family, and if memory serves, it should be the lord family of the Pahainar Lord, a family rich in gentlemen and playboys. ”

"Pahainar? It's a little bit away from here, what are you doing here? ”

"Where do I know, I'm in a panic."

Roddy shrugged his shoulders and looked to the sides, and now there seemed to be another nobleman's retinue not far away, and the other party's family was also not native to Evta.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

As the two walked on, Roddy saw an old tailor coughing violently on the side of the road—but nothing strange about it, and he turned his gaze to see a noble retinue standing in front of him.

"Go the way you should go, mercenary"

The other party unceremoniously stopped Roddy and Akasha, and his tone was very blunt.

"I'm Baron Roddy of Evta, soldier, and what right do you have to stand in my way?"

Roddy was not interested in such a small character, he shook the reins with a strained face, and walked straight forward, almost knocking the other man away - Akasha followed, trying to laugh, but trying not to laugh out loud: it was the first time she had seen Roddy take out the "noble" shelf in front of others, and it felt quite fresh.

At this time, the nobleman in front turned his head, looked at Luo Di and said, "Baron? Sorry, I've never seen a nobleman dressed as a mercenary. ”

"So now you see it."

Roddy was not interested in talking nonsense, and after passing by him, he was ready to continue walking forward - this behavior made the freshly dressed Earl Winston raise his eyebrows slightly, he squinted at Roddy, and said unceremoniously: "You also want to pursue the Pearl of Hollier?" With this image, you are really a toad who wants to eat swan meat. ”

"What pearl?"

When the words came out, Luo Di quickly reacted: "You mean... Sally? ”

Seeing the other party's tacit appearance, Luo Di immediately sorted out his thoughts, but then felt a little funny: Even if Sally really wants to "ask for marriage", where would she find you like this?

However, there is no choice in the "marriage of nobles" - thinking of this, Roddy's brows furrowed, and before he could ask anything, he heard the other party continue: "Baron Roddy, have you just returned from the forest?" Oh, I still carry a lot of loot, and if my family is ruined, I am willing to pay a high price for your goods. Next time you go out, bring a few more attendants to help you carry your things, and don't let the maid suffer with you. ”

"Tsk, your axe and bow look pretty good, do you want to sell them?"

The count, who had only been in Hollier for a few days, obviously felt "superior", and when he saw Roddy wearing a leather armor, he thought he was a broken nobleman, and at the end he did not forget to point to the "Purification Blade": "This kind of sword of yours can only be used by women. If you're interested, I can teach you swordsmanship, and in Pahainar, my swordsmanship is famous. ”

"Don't bother, no."

Although Luo Di didn't make a move with the other party, he also knew that the other party's level was only crushed by himself, so he directly shook the reins and stepped forward and left

But before he and Akasha had gone a few steps, the streets were emptied, and two rows of family guards stood on either side with ceremonial spears...

However, this scene made the Earl Winston next to him show a slight "triumphant" smile, he let the horse take two steps, and waved his hand after being level with Roddy: "The Roussifron family is still wise, this... Baron Roddy, please give way, maybe in the near future, you will call me lord, maybe. ”

These words are obviously taking advantage of Sally, even though she has "broken up" with Sally, but Roddy still has an urge to copy the axe when she listens to this gentleman's nonsense...

"Roddy."

Akasha saw that Roddy's face was very bad, and reached out to grab his arm, and Roddy's gaze also converged, but when he looked up and looked forward, he saw that at the end of the street, the figure in a white dress was standing there quietly, staring at him... next to it.

"Lord Roddy is always welcome in Hollier City, Miss Sally has been waiting for you for a long time."

The young butler of the Duke's Court came over and explained the arrangements for the welcome ceremony, and then said to Winston, who looked puzzled: "Lord Earl, Miss Sally has something to do today, and she has no free time. ”

"There's... Something? Just to see him? ”

Winston, who was like a peacock on the screen, watched Roddy move forward, his expression comical for a while.
