Ansadine's words were orders, and Viscount Tranka did not dare to have any objections, so he immediately nodded his head and accepted it.

After arranging this task, Ansatin did not leave immediately, and asked other questions: "Is the acquisition of medicinal materials going well?" ”

"My lord, the herb shop in Kige Town is completely under your control, and once there are herbs that meet the standards, they will definitely be purchased as soon as possible." Tranka thought for a moment and continued, "Several elders of the Apothecary Guild have been very respectful of the recipe you left behind last time, and they have also increased their income a lot for this, and they have been collected in exchange for funds. ”

Although he is a puppet, Tranka still has his own thinking ability, and he is very good at slapping sycophants, and while answering questions, he also touted Ansadine's potion-making ability.

Although he is in a high position, Ansatin has not spent much time in politics after all, and this kind of sycophant does make him very comfortable, but he is proud in his heart, and he said: "The level of pharmacists in the Karen Kingdom is really not worth mentioning, it's really disappointing." ”

Then he changed his words, "Is there a disappearance of people in the village?" ”

Tranka was a little stunned by this question, thinking that most of the disappearances of people are because you want me to do it, what does it mean to ask? But then he saw that Ansatin was very serious, thought about it, and replied: "It is approaching winter, and only a few mercenary groups in the village have gone out, and they may not have returned, but nothing else has been heard of the disappearance. ”

Ansatin fell silent, he asked naturally, in fact, to see if Magda was doing anything here

That arrogant old man was so powerful and unscrupulous that he would be glad if he went on a killing spree here—for he could report it to His Majesty Augustine and put the blame on him.

But since Magda chose to hide, he had other ways to deal with it. After thinking about it, he explained a few words to Tranca, jumped directly from the window onto the gargoyle's back, and disappeared into the jungle in an instant.

Ansadin didn't immediately look for Magda, but went to an uninhabited manor outside Kig, and went directly to the catacombs behind the house...

The three-story underground chamber is much larger than the house outside, and the rows of wooden shelves are mostly filled with all kinds of potions and materials, and this is Ansadin's "laboratory", which is also the base for refining medicinal materials, making "necromantic sculptures" and handling affairs.

According to the original plan, Anssadin should stay in the Lars Mountains until mid-ll, and his only purpose there is to find enough "frost grass" to make a more powerful puppet, but at this time, he suddenly turned back, naturally to deal with some "trouble" - but in Ansadine's eyes, "Roddy", "Rubens" and even "Duke Angmar" are not trouble, and all he worries about is the two characters of Magda and Augustine...

Mankind? This humble race is not qualified enough to worry him about anything. In Ansadine's judgment, Magda's defeat was attributed to "being ambushed", and now what he has to do is to surprise the guy named "Roddy" as soon as possible, and then go to Houllier City to liquidate.

Ansardine was not interested in sharing Magda's hatred, so he did it for himself: to kill Roddy before Magda regained his combat effectiveness, and then write a letter to His Majesty Augustine stating the pros and cons and telling him about the defeat of the "Blightcaller", so that His Majesty would naturally think that he was powerful and the "Blighter" was a waste.

Drag out the time for Magda to recover his strength, and this old thing will probably be grateful to himself

Profit at the expense of others? Ansadin is a politician, as long as he is ultimately "self-interested", where will he care if it is not human.

Walking to the desk, Ansadine's elderberry wand was lightly tapped in front of a tight metal cabinet, and the heavy door opened, revealing the densely stacked miniature puppet sculptures inside...

For the necromancer of the "puppet system", it is really not his turn to solve the "miscellaneous" of several human territories.

"Tsk, it's really grand enough to use these against humans."

At the same moment, Roddy and his party, who had left Elsa's village, also walked to the edge of the Silent Forest. 、

Looking at Kieg, which was clearly visible dozens of miles away, Roddy chose to take Nata and Akasha to part ways with Buffon and Henry.

Roddy assigned the two mercenaries a lot of tasks in Kiger Town, while he himself prepared to go to the Parr Territory, and after meeting up with Sodrore and others, he planned to get Magda.

This situation is a bit strange to say, just by signing a "contract of employment", Roddy has such trust in Henry and Buffon, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he is a little too naïve - after all, Buffon and Henry carried a whole package of rare herbs, as well as a few bags of mellow fruit wine that were destined to be expensive, if the two of them had different intentions, even if they sold them directly, the goods would be worth a few years' remuneration.

But Roddy didn't seem to care at all, he just stopped the two mercenaries at the time of the team's parting, whispered a few words to them, and then said loudly: "I'll wait for your good news." ”

With that, he took Nata and Akasha in the other direction.

The two mercenaries looked at his back and were a little stunned, Buffon was an honest man, tightened his bags and walked towards Kiger Town, Henry next to him squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, but he felt that he was becoming more and more unpredictable Roddy-

"Buffon, what do you think of him?"

Buffon replied with a blank expression: "He can see farther than us." ”

"I don't think so, he has the strength and courage, but it seems that he takes everything for granted," Henry shook his head, he naturally didn't expect the tendoned Buffon to say anything, he reached out and weighed the large bag of herbs behind him, his respectful and obedient attitude in front of Roddy immediately changed, and he swaggered towards Kieg Town, "Forget it, they saved our lives, and the matter is in place, and the rest... Let's be nosy. ”

Buffon nodded, after all, the mission is a mission, and Roddy didn't ask them to work to the death, and it was the right way to go back to the town to have a good rest and rest - but he was honest, and at the end he added: "Let's do it as soon as possible, I feel that he doesn't seem to have another reason for not going to Kiger Town." ”

The fat man raised his eyebrows, he also vaguely felt it, but he couldn't find a basis, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided not to think about it anymore, being a mercenary is to earn money for a day and live a day, thinking about what to do so much...

On the other side, Roddy, who is the opposite, looks really glamorous.

Nata was wearing the weirdly shaped animal skin clothes before, but in order to hide her identity as a wood elf, Roddy specially asked her to put on a hooded cloak, and her delicate appearance was covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Roddy and Akasha also put on a cloak to keep warm, such a combination of two women and a man is really rare, but Roddy doesn't want to "Dese" in his mind at all, and he has a lot of things to think about at this time: How is the construction of the Parl Collar? How's the progress of Sodrol and the others? Did Wellington teach martial arts well? Will Magda retaliate early? What will that Ansadine react to?

There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, so he walked at a fast pace, thinking only about getting back as soon as possible so that he could deal with the trouble caused by Magda.

Behind him, Nata, who walked out of the forest for the first time... At this time, the mood is quite delicate.

All the way to the present, Nata is actually thinking about whether the result of this choice is correct... For a wood elf who has never seen the Anthropocene realm, leaving the forest is like a baby leaving its mother's arms, and inner anxiety and insecurity are unavoidable.

But she wouldn't show this emotion to anyone, and walked in silence as before. Roddy was so busy thinking about his own affairs that he didn't think about it either, just walked ahead of himself, occasionally finding a hillside to identify the scenery and direction, and then silently continued to move forward.

Of the three, the only one in a good mood was Akasha. After the events of last night, her original psychological pressure was almost completely gone, and she no longer had a trembling anxiety behind Roddy, and even her pale face was a little more bloody.

Rubbing the warm ring on her finger, the corners of Akasha's mouth curled slightly, and her mood seemed very relaxed - somehow, after wearing this ring, she could clearly feel that her body was getting better faster, and even the effect of the curse of "Whipping Punishment" had weakened a lot... She couldn't figure out if it was because of the curse decay or because of the curse, but in short, everything was going in the direction of the good, and that was enough.

When camping at night, although there were only three people in front of the campfire, Akasha still felt that everything was so beautiful, eating fragrant barbecue and drinking fragrant wine, Akasha sighed for the first time that life can have such a pleasant moment...

She stared at the firelight, reminiscing about the sad times of the past, and drank one sip after another. And Nata, who was on the side, said the first sentence of the day to Roddy: "When will you start teaching me archery?" ”

This was her only purpose in following Roddy out of the forest, and Nata was so simple-minded that she naturally didn't think about anything else.

Luo Di had actually thought about how to teach his "mentor" before, but after thinking about it, the way the other party taught him was very simple, that is, simply "issuing tasks" - no matter how many times he died, when he could complete it, he would be qualified.

But this method doesn't work for Nata, after all, there is a little mistake, and this talented wood elf only has the ending of Xiang Xiaoyu... So Roddy thought about it for a long time, and could only start from the "basics".

"I'll be able to get to Parl tomorrow, I originally wanted to teach you archery when the time comes, but since you ask now, I'll talk to you a few words."

When the topic of "archery" came to him, Roddy immediately became a little confident... This is the pride and confidence cultivated by standing at the forefront of the field for a long time, and Roddy has really worked archery, and there is no element of trickery in it.

When Nata heard this, she immediately put on a posture of "listening carefully", obviously really wanting to learn. Akasha on the side couldn't understand what they were saying, and looked over curiously—of course, her eyes were focused on Roddy.

"Let's start with the basics... Do you know your bow? ”

Nata was stunned by Roddy's question, she reached for her short bow and nodded, "I know it better than anyone." ”

"So are you sure it's in top shape?"

"Confirm."

"Okay, give it to me."

Nata obediently handed over the bow, Roddy looked at it a few times, pulled, and reached out to get her quiver, flipped the arrow inside, then shook her head, looked directly at Nata and said, "It's still too far away." ”
