Roddy listened to Sodrore's words, but his eyes drooped - the action made him look like he was faking sleep, but in fact it was hiding the anger in his heart... Three months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and the news of his "avalanche fake death" has relaxed the vigilance of the undead, and it has obviously brought a lot of trouble to Duke Angmar.

This group of rat-eyed aristocrats, with a dog-like sense of smell for the interests around them, has always turned a blind eye to possible invasions on the border.

Roddy glanced at Camilla, who was a little low, got up and said, "Let's talk about it here today, if you have any ideas, you can find me at any time." ”

He didn't expect Camilla to stand on the opposite side of the "Holy Order" right away, so he left a buffer time, and then said nothing more, and turned to Sodrore to ask about Sora's sentry.

"Click."

Camilla, who was sitting on the bed, looked at the closed wooden door with a sigh of attention, but she didn't feel the surrounding qiē anymore - she exhaled slowly, her heart full of unspeakable complex feelings... The fingers clenched and loosened, and the nervousness and uneasiness still lingered in my heart, but it was the doubts that occurred in Roddy's mind that occupied more of my mind.

He could have made himself a slave with just a few words, but he didn't.

He seems to be just an inconspicuous nobleman in the kingdom, but he just said the essence of the "Holy Meeting" in just a few sentences.

In Camilla's original impression, Roddy was just a martial artist, but he had combat power and courage that were difficult for ordinary people to match. However, since this conversation, Roddy's image in her eyes has suddenly changed drastically - a leader with strong self-control? Or a wise man who hides beneath the surface of youth?

She understands that she can no longer see Roddy as an ordinary person, and the human who can understand the importance of the "Charged Crystal" and is proficient in the "High Elf Script" is a bit beyond her cognition. The things he displayed even reminded Camilla of the old guys inside the Holy Order.

But it doesn't matter how mysterious Roddy is, after realizing that she can't get out of the city, Camila's biggest concern now is... What to do with Nefi?

Do you want to go to Roddy for help?

The thought came to her mind, and Camila looked at the closed door and fell into deep thought.

******

"Because I have always been uneasy about the city, I was able to send troops through the outer forests to contact Hanks after two months of searching, but the feedback was not optimistic."

Sodlore and Roddy walked side by side, the former young ensign had matured in constant combat tempering, and in the three months since Roddy's "disappearance", he had arranged the troops in an orderly manner, and his military leadership skills were undoubtedly highlighted. Although there was some concern in his words at this time, it was obvious that he was confident enough to solve this qiē.

"Tell me about it."

Roddy squinted slightly, staring at the mountains in the distance, and his voice seemed a little cold.

"After we left, there were five lords who arrived there, with a combined strength of more than a thousand or so, but because the threat of the orcs had been lifted, they quickly withdrew, and their attitude towards Hanks during this time... None are very friendly. ”

"Not very friendly" is a polite statement, in fact, these lords directly threw Hanks aside and directly took over the Sola guard post - after all, the number of troops left behind by Roddy was small, and because the main force was never heard from, they could only choose to tolerate and accommodate in the face of the lord's arrogant troops.

Hanks said that there had been several clashes between the troops and the lords' armies during this period, and although they were all suppressed in the end, he had obviously suffered a lot... Quite a few insults. However, he never revealed any information about us to these nobles, but informed the Duke by secret letter. ”

"The mind is quite lively."

Roddy just gave a comment and didn't say anything else, he was in a bad mood, and there was always a sinister tone in his tone. Because there were no maids or servants here, Sodrol did not arrange for soldiers to serve his daily life, so at this time he personally poured a cup of hot water for Roddy, then sat on the wooden chair, and said in a low voice: "Hanks is not idle, he has always been in contact with Duke Angmar, and the latest news I received is that some nobles have reduced the duke's taxes by some means, and are preparing to take action against the Parl Leader and the Wood Elves, so I think we must take measures." ”

"A group of moths that have not done enough to do more than they have failed, and it is not difficult to clean them up."

Roddy shook his head, but then asked a seemingly unrelated question: "How many 'Charged Crystals' have been found in the city?" Have you ever counted it? ”

Sodrore was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "There are a total of one hundred and fifty-seven pieces, of which only thirty-eight still have energy, which is the number counted by Pastor Akasha. ”

Such a number made Roddy raise an eyebrow - he thought there would be at least a thousand, how could it be so little?

Elson is the pinnacle of the high elf defense system, its defense capability far exceeds the level of the current human castle, but as a price, its energy supply problem is also very prominent, this truth is the same as "high-horsepower racing car fuel consumption is amazing", it is an unavoidable problem.

According to the book "On the Self-Awareness of the Defense System", the number of hedrons needed to activate the city's inner city defense is about 1,500 pieces, and the outer city defense needs at least 5,000 pieces to fully activate!

Six thousand five hundred "charged crystals" is the minimum standard to ensure that the entire city's defense is activated, and in the event of a war, this number will be at least tenfold to sustain the consumption of a major war.

Luo Di exhaled, the harvest of this victory was too rich, but the affordability was equally amazing - his "city lord" was completely unworthy of the rhythm!

Elson doesn't have such a thing as a "charged spar", and there are only two ways to get it: either go to the ruins of Wagra in the Silent Forest and use the large number of hedrons that were hidden in the ground, or... Make your own zuò.

But at present, it seems that the hedron in the ruins of Wagra is simply not enough, and in order to restore Elson's original level of defense, mastering the manufacturing technology is the inevitable way.

However, Camilla said that there was a solitary volume of "The Theory of Charged Spar Zuò" that was placed in the hands of Nefi in Mogra Village, then-

Roddy's eyes froze, and he gradually had a plan in his heart: "Elson City will be our largest development base in the future, but the current problem to be solved is still the Duke's side, because if war breaks out, it will be our big rear." ”

Sodrore understood his intentions and reminded him: "We are currently short of troops, and if we want to defend such a large city, we need at least two thousand standing troops. ”

"Leave the issue of troops to me, and return to the Sola post tomorrow."

Roddy drank the hot water from the cup and got up and walked out of the house.

******

The difference of a hundred days is only a snap of a finger for Roddy, but for Akasha, it is like a year.

Akasha could never hide what was going on, she couldn't grit her teeth and continue to command the troops in an orderly manner like Sodrol, nor could she be as ruthless as Nata, walking the walls all day as if nothing had happened.

Roddy's life and death are uncertain, and the apprehension in her heart always makes it difficult for Akasha to sleep at night... Because of this, her dark circles have become more and more strict, her chin is pointed, her waist is thinner, and her face is becoming more and more pale.

And because of the appearance of the "Army of the Dead", Akasha is under a lot of pressure... The soldiers' eyes mixed with respect and fear made her feel like a "monster", so she gradually moved away from the crowd, studying magic in her room alone all day, or was haunted by nightmares, staring sleepily at the towering magic tower...

Fortunately, today, all the apprehension finally disappeared, and after seeing Roddy walk out of the magic tower intact, she was finally relieved and slept well at Roddy's request.

When I woke up, the sky outside the window was already dark.

"Ahem."

Her throat was a little dry, and Akasha rubbed her eyes, but she felt that something was different around her, and then she realized that her bedroom was actually lit by a magic array, so that it was not as dark as before.

The light dispelled the darkness and Akasha's fears, and she got up and looked around curiously, not understanding why this was happening.

"Da-da."

Just as there was a knock on the bedroom door, Akasha frowned slightly and asked with some confusion, "Who?" ”

And when she heard the answering voice outside the door, Akasha was stunned for a moment, and her heart began to beat - Roddy came to find himself in the bedroom? He... What is the meaning?

She hurriedly opened the door, but saw Roddy standing outside the door with a wooden water cup in his hand, and when the eyes of the two met, Akasha did not look away as shyly as before, but stared at Roddy carefully for a long time-

"What are you looking at?"

Roddy put the cup of water prepared for Akasha on the wooden table next to him, and pushed it forward - seeing his movements, Akasha's heart warmed, and she whispered back, "It's okay... It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm afraid of forgetting your look. ”

After saying this, Akasha lowered her head a little shyly: she usually didn't have the courage to express her feelings so bluntly.

Roddy was a little stuck, looking at Akasha, but he felt that her current appearance was really distressing... Looking at Akasha's cheeks, he sighed and said, "You've lost a lot of weight. ”

"Ahh

Akasha remembered that her dark circles were ugly, and she hurriedly turned her head away from Roddy to see it, and whispered, "Am I becoming ugly?" ”

"No, it's just that I don't feel comfortable seeing you like this."

Roddy wasn't stupid enough to say that girls were ugly, and besides, Akasha was a beauty before and now, and it really didn't have much to do with "ugly", he just felt a little sorry in his heart - after all, this stupid little priest became like this because of himself.

And the corners of Akasha's mouth, who turned her head, curled slightly-this guy actually cares about himself very much.

However, she immediately remembered Camilla who walked out of the magic tower with Roddy, but her heart was a little sour, and she asked in a low voice: "By the way, why didn't the woman who entered the tower with you leave here?" ”

"She... I'm afraid I can't leave? ”

"Why?"

Akasha's heart jumped suddenly, she had long sensed that Roddy's attitude towards Camilla was wrong, a woman's intuition made her feel that there was something strange in this, Roddy said this, is it because she is here? Or was it because something happened in the tower with Roddy?

Looking at the burning Akasha of the gossip soul, Roddy sighed in his heart that the woman's train of thought could not be understood at all, so he had to briefly explain Camilla's current abilities and roles - and after hearing this, Akasha pouted and frowned: "Then didn't she become your 'deputy'?" ”

As a follower of Roddy, Akasha has always cared about this "identity", but she soon relieves it... Anyway, Camilla can't leave Elson, and if Roddy goes somewhere else, Camilla can only stare here.

Hmph, just a guy who doesn't pose a threat.

"Let's not talk about her yet, I have something to tell you," Roddy finally got to the point, then looked into Akasha's eyes and whispered, "I'm going to return to Sola Sentry tomorrow, and then go back to Hollier City." ”

"Leaving tomorrow? I'll clean up later. ”

Akasha was about to get up, but Roddy reached out and pressed her shoulders - "What I want to say is... I want you to stay here and help me watch over the city for a while. ”

"I... What the? ”

Akasha, who was originally full of joy, froze her expression, looked at Luo Di in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

[Originally, I wrote four thousand two, but I deleted and changed it to three thousand seven, so I sent it, at least three thousand five tomorrow, and I will definitely be able to make up for the one thousand that was missing yesterday. 】
