Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 126 It's not a small role

On the other side, Sodrore, who had retrieved a blood-stained letter from Akasha, was reading the handwriting on it with a torch, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and finally spoke up: "Roddy—she has a letter on her, and the signature seems to be... Bishop Rubens. ”

"Who does it love, what do I have... Wait, Rubens? ”

"It looks like yes, as if she's a Rose Cross, in the B Cross, of—"

"Isn't it...... Is it undercover? the groove"

Luo Di threw down the cloth bag in his hand, hurriedly took a few steps and rushed over, glanced at the content of the letter, and confirmed that the woman who still had a breath left was indeed an "undercover agent", and immediately patted his head, "What a mistake, mistaking people for reactionaries."

Sodrore was a little stunned, and didn't understand why Roddy was so distressed - his relationship with the "Rosicrucifix" was not very good?

Thinking so in his heart, he asked hesitantly, "Do you want to save her?" ”

"Nonsense, hurry up" Luo Di raised his hand anxiously and grabbed it, not caring whether he touched Akasha's crisp breasts or waist, just "hissed" and tore off his clothes and began to check the wound, not forgetting to chatter: "How much prestige can be exchanged for this life, this..."

Because they didn't wear bandages, then Roddy and Sodrore could only take off their coats on the spot and tear them to bandage Akasha to stop the bleeding, and both of them were startled by the bloody scene on her back, but fortunately, the thin corset didn't cover too many wounds, and Roddy didn't tear off the underwear, so the two big men were busy around the unconscious Akasha...

Outside the secret passage, Ruger, who was walking on guard, felt a little strange, because he heard the sound of tears in his clothes, and although he was puzzled, he did not leave his post casually - after ten minutes, he heard the sound of Sodrol and Roddy dragging out of the secret passage, and when he walked over to look, his eyes were a little straight.

Sodrore, who was walking in front, was holding a torch, but Roddy was carrying a woman with naked shoulders and a shawl.

Thinking of the sound of tearing clothes just now, Lu Ge suddenly thought of some inappropriate scenes for children, and asked a little stammering: "This, this, this- captain, this is... Alive? ”

"Almost died, hurry up, come back here-"

"I said, why did you two stay so long... Whew, it's good if it's not an X corpse..."

"Bullshit, we're going to-" Roddy replied as he walked, suddenly feeling that something was wrong with the sentence he had just heard, and kicked Ruger in the ass—"Fuck you, where the fuck are you going?" ”

He is good at saving people, how can he become sexually hungry in his eyes?

Next to Sodrore, his face was weird, he looked like he was smiling and suffocating internal injuries, he walked in front and didn't speak, but he was also kicked in the ass by Roddy: "Give me a serious face"

After saying this, Roddy took a breath - the secret passage was too narrow, and it was really difficult to carry a person out of it, so he complained: "It doesn't look like there is much meat, and it's really heavy to carry on your back..."

"If the captain can't do it, I'll come, I'll come..."

Luger hurriedly volunteered, but was kicked away by Roddy - "How can I listen to you, it's like rushing to go up to wheel X"

"Haha

Sodrol finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and then the three big men walked towards the hotel with the priest of the "Pit Viper Cross" on their backs......

At the same time, the palace of the Duke of Roussiflon was brightly lit.

The reception hall, which had not been used for a long time, had become deserted for a few years, and the fireplace had not been lit for a long time because Francis had never received guests, but the fireplace was blazing with flames, and the red glow of charcoal filled the room with warmth

The room is full of servants from the Duke's Mansion, since the "disappearance" of Butler Alpha, the awakening of Duke Angmar has brought unimaginable vitality to this originally lifeless mansion, it is hard to imagine that just one person can change the atmosphere of the entire mansion, no matter what happened in the past, the servants who were busy going back and forth at this time were all happy, and the joy in their hearts was not concealed at all.

"The changes to Gordon Manor are here, and the tax will be raised by 20%, if he doesn't pay it, he will do it himself."

"Disbanding this team, there is little point in their existence."

"This invitation is directly to Count Tata, and it is estimated that it will be almost time for him to come over again when he receives it, and he will go early tomorrow morning."

The orders contained political, economic, military, and other arrangements, and the Duke of Angmar sat down on the armrest and spoke to the clerks and servants as easily as if chattering, and the coherence was so clear that there was not even any mistake in the names of people and places.

This situation has shown that the old duke's "illness" has fully recovered, although his body is still weak due to long-term malnutrition, but after only a week or so of recuperation and a full meal, Angmar's body is recovering at a very fast speed, and at this time he is able to move around the mansion at will, not to mention the dozens of decrees issued one after another.

He sat in his armchair and looked at the parchment in his hand, which contained detailed records of the territory's taxes and various measures in the city over the years, and the old man shook his head as he looked at it, and finally sighed when he put down the parchment—"Stupid..."

That's what Francis did before.

"Okay, here for today, you go and rest."

He raised his hand, and the servant immediately came over to catch the parchment, and then brought the milk tea he had drunk that night, and as soon as he had made a cup, he heard steady footsteps outside the door.

"Lord Duke."

Knight Titus stood at the door and said hello, he and the Knight of Wellington and the Duke are friends of life and death, and they don't use too much red tape in the past, at this time Angelmar also expected him to come back, raised his hand and greeted: "Come on, pour a cup of tea, it's still cold outside." ”

The knight walked over, for his height was astonishing, and the maid who served him tea was even more petite, and the delicate teacup was as small as a toy in his hand—Titus was not good at talking, and he raised his glass to salute the duke like wine, and then drank the hot milk tea in a sip, and smacked the taste, without any unnecessary change in his expression.

"You are still the same, after all these years, haven't you found a suitable woman to marry?"

"This topic... Alas"

Titus shook his head, took the second cup of milk tea from the maid, took a sip as usual, and wiped his mouth, "It's still easy to fight, woman... I can't fucking figure out what's going on in their heads."

"You, you, how many times have you said it, it's still like this," Angmar seemed to remember some stories from that year, smiled, and then changed the topic: "Then let's talk about today's events, I have roughly heard people describe the process, but you know more about the war, which you were present at the time." ”

Duke Angmar crossed his chin with his fingers crossed, and the light in his eyes flickered slightly, "... I've heard that the tide of the battle was turned around by an arrow? ”

"To some extent, it is."

Titus, who has a down-to-earth personality, usually doesn't speak on most topics, but only when the topic involves "fighting" does he have the interest to say a few more words—"That heretic is tricky, and although he was dead when I arrived, I could see that he almost came close to succeeding." Later, I went to check on the corpse, and the arrow hit the back of the heart, not blocked by the shield, and had the effect of exploding. ”

"The nearest suitable shooting point is about 40 meters, but I think the real shot should be 60 meters away..."

The Duke of Angmar listened silently, and gradually constructed in his mind the scenes that happened today in the city square, and at one point, he suddenly asked, "What about the arrow?" ”

"It was taken by the bishop, but then I found out that there was more than one arrow on the ground, and at least seven infidels nearby had been killed directly, each... It's all fatal with one arrow. ”

Speaking of this, Titus's face changed slightly, revealing a slightly fanatical look, "Almost 100% hit rate and kill rate, such a guy is really not a small character, especially since he also shot another mage directly - although I don't know who sent this guy, but... It's really amazing. ”

"It's not easy to say 'Awesome, two words' out of your mouth."

Duke Angmar raised his eyebrows, as if surprised by his assessment.

"There are a lot of strong people, but there are not many powerful ones, I think the person who can grasp this kind of timing is really powerful - that battle lasted almost an hour, not sooner or later, then an arrow played a key role, and the subsequent attack directly destroyed the enemy's morale, this kind of person is not in strength, but in his brain." Titus pointed to his head, "Someone who can fight with his brain, I really admit that he is powerful."

Duke Angmar nodded with his words, and then turned his head to look out the door with some feeling—the figure of the Wellington knight was standing there, and the maid who was pouring tea was startled by the knight... Because she didn't even notice when he appeared.

"Heh... I'm getting older, and I'm a lot slower than I used to be. ”

Angmar motioned for him to enter, who, despite being about the size of Titus, walked without a sound at all - this was due to the nature of his advanced class, the Ghost Knight, who in some ways looked like a "thief" or "assassin" rather than a knight in plate armor.

As Duke Angmar's right-hand man, his strength is naturally beyond doubt. Today in the town square, Titus galloped around, and he never showed up, because Wellington was only watching Sally's movements from the beginning to the end, and the knight had been a silent bystander from a short distance from the moment she was attacked by Francis—until Sally hacked Francis to death outside the city, and he did not show up even once.

It wasn't until Sally had just confirmed Sally's return to the monastery that he ended his day's mission and returned to the Duke's Palace.

Apparently, no one else had known of Francis's death until now, not even the Duke of Angmar. So when Wellington walked over, the old duke's eyes couldn't help but take on a little inquiry, and he waited quietly for an answer...

Wellington stood still before the Duke, then knelt down on one knee and whispered, "Miss Sally has returned to the abbey safely." ”

Such a simple sentence is equivalent to directly saying the fate of Francis...
