Chapter 310: Roddy's Happy Life
The grand wedding of Miss Nicole, the eldest daughter of the Tulip family, has become a topic of conversation among the people of the imperial capital and aristocratic circles for a long time. Moreover, several newspapers in the imperial capital have made a lot of publicity.
The magnificence and luxury of that wedding made even the royal family admire. Coupled with the strong support of the military, let the Empire's most powerful Thor's Whip Wolf Tooth Army act as a guard of honor. The mighty Imperial Marshal, the great Emperor of the Imperial Emperor personally officiated and witnessed the marriage. Such a lineup can be regarded as unprecedented.
Of course, in the eyes of those who care, I also see a little subtle difference......
As we all know, whether it is Roland Da 6 in the north or the Empire of Light, they all believe in the Divine Religion. Although the two Great 6 cults differ in doctrine, they regard each other as blasphemous hypocrites. But at least in the Empire of Light, the Cult of God is still the state religion and has a supreme position. Religious power can even go hand in hand with imperial power. Even from the emperor to the nobles and important ministers of the empire, they were all believers in the Divine Religion.
But in this grand wedding, neither the great Emperor ** Duke Tulip nor the mysterious Marquis of Roddy invited the clergy to witness their marriage!
You must know that for all members of the Divine Religion, the wedding must be held in a church, and the wedding must be presided over by a clergy to be considered a formal ceremony, but this wedding, which has affected the political situation of the Empire, did not have a single member of the Divine Cult to attend!
And. Obviously, the Marquis of Rodi was not a cultist...... The empire is not devoid of non-believers, and in general, the empire allows people not to believe in the religion of God, but at the same time they are not allowed to follow other religions. However, in the aristocratic upper class of the empire, there were very few people who did not believe in the religion of God. And like the Marquis of Roddy, he is in a high position. It is simply unheard of that an important minister who holds military power and is deeply favored by His Majesty is not a believer.
Even Duke Tulip doesn't seem to be so fond of the Divine Cult...... The meaning of this is somewhat intriguing.
After the wedding, the situation in the empire was calm for a while, and only the news of the Roland 6 in the north was secretly transmitted. Of course, these messages were deliberately blocked at the behest of the upper echelons of the empire.
The war of Roland Da 6 has begun, and the Kingdom of Sauron has become the leader of more than a dozen kingdom alliances of Roland da 6, and they have gathered about a million troops and the Holy Knights of the Temple Land to fight thirteen battles.
Under the command of General Tiger of the Kingdom of Sauron. All thirteen of these battles ended with the defeat of the Roland Kingdom's Anti-Temple Alliance. However, under the command of Tiger, their huge army suffered some losses, but it did not hurt their vitality. Tiger actually divided the million-strong army into several ways to fight separately! Such a move cannot but be said to be very clever.
In terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, neither the Royal Knights of the Kingdom of Sauron nor any other kingdom army could compare with the elite Holy Knights, but there was no doubt that the Temple was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Tiger divided the huge army into several routes. But he has always only harassed the enemy and did not give the other party a chance to fight a decisive battle, and he has obviously prepared a chance to fight a protracted war. At the same time, the Temple of the Holy Knights was numerically inferior and could not divide their forces—if they were to divide their troops, they would only make the already only 100,000 troops even weaker. In the end, it is difficult to avoid the danger of being broken by the division of forces.
Roland 6 fell into a stalemate, although there were battle reports from time to time, but the double release did not achieve decisive results.
At such a moment. The Bright Empire's Earth God Sect has a somewhat ambiguous attitude.
Although there are differences with the doctrine of the Northern Temple, but seeing that the Northern Roland 6 Temple and many kingdoms have openly broken, the Northern Divine Cult is almost in danger of being destroyed, and the Divine Cult of the Bright Empire can't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Although it is impossible for the Divine Cult to meddle in the affairs of the Northern Big 6 because of the hostility of the two Big 6, at this moment, the status of the Divine Cult is inevitably a little embarrassing. At the behest of Pope Corsica VI, the religious centers in the cities of the Empire of Light were noticeably more lively than before.
A lot of buying hearts and minds has already begun. For example, the distribution of holy water, the propagation of doctrine, and the fact that some bishops and adults personally traveled to various places to carry out missions and buy people's hearts, and so on.
But the more at this moment, the attitude of the imperial capital is a little unsettling.
All the officials of the empire have remained silent! Historically, every time this kind of large-scale church activity has been carried out with the cooperation of the imperial officials, after all, in the empire, the gods and religions and the imperial power support each other, but this time, it seems that under the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor, the officials of the empire completely stood on the side of a bystander, coldly watching the people of these churches running back and forth.
Thinking of the last palace incident, thinking of the wedding of the Tulip family, the number one giant of the empire, who did not invite people from the Divine Religion, and thinking of the fact that Duke Tulip was not a believer—these add up to make people reverie.
"Let them jump! the higher they jump, the harder they fall!" Andy sighed. He just casually threw aside the reports on the activities of religious institutes in various places, and then picked up a war report from the northwest.
A battle report written by General Eliho, the commander of the Northwest Army, five days ago, in the Watt Fortress in the northwest, the Northwest Army led by General Eliho once again defeated the army of Rochenthal of the Great Moon Kingdom, this time the results were very objective, Ellio killed a total of 25,000 steppe cavalry, as before, all the prisoners were not left, all were executed!
Eliho's iron-blooded methods were undoubtedly the most suitable way to deal with the wolves on the grasslands. Rochenthal has been defeated by Elio many times in such a long time, and it is said that the Longtai Golden Horde has gradually become intolerant of his losses!
Although the Northwest Army also suffered huge losses, the Northwest Army, which was almost re-established, has been repeatedly reorganized and expanded. However, compared to the empire, there is an almost endless source of soldiers. The population of the steppe peoples is simply too thin.
Andy smiled and read the battle report, and casually drew up an order to reward him and threw it to an attendant.
"It's not that the empire is devoid of talent, it's just that under the rule of the original mediocre Abbasid XI, it's no wonder that the country will not die. Andy smiled slightly and stretched: "Yes, being an emperor is really tiring." My old man misses the days when he slept all day. ”
waved his hand to let all the attendants in the room go out, leaving only the fat man Tianlie.
"Old skeleton. That old bastard of the Pope has come to you three times, and you don't see you all the time, aren't you afraid that they will turn their back?"
Andy laughed: "He just saw the fate of Roland's 6 Temple, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad and wanted to mend the relationship with us." Hmph, the Empire of Light is not the kingdoms of Roland 6, all the kingdoms there are scattered sand, here, we have a strong and unified empire! Let him beg us slowly, it is not time to clean them up yet. ”
There was a pause. Andy's smile gradually revealed a little treacherous: "I have ordered all the newspapers not to do any reports on this Divine Cult's activities! They want to buy people's hearts, okay, let them toss slowly." I'm just not going to let them attract people's attention!I've ordered that all the newspapers in the empire have been reporting on the wedding of Roddy the Kid lately, and that the aftermath of the wedding be over. Just preach the war in the northwest with all your might! It just so happens that Eliho has won the battle again! Hmph, the Divine Cult! I have made them spend a lot of effort, but they have not received the attention of the public! It is like a stone thrown into the water, but I have made them unable to make a wave!"
The fat man lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Now you are so out of the matter." Are you waiting for an opportunity?"
Andy nodded, "Yes, I've been waiting for so long, I think those vampires should have seen something, right? Those vampires must be very happy right now, and will take the opportunity to attack the Cult. Let them eat dogs, anyway, Lao Tzu lives in the palace, so he should be invisible. ”
The fat man sighed: "Damn, you guy thinks about these harmful things in his head all day long, I think ......"
Andy shook his head: "What is this, in a few days, there will be a better play! By the way, how is that Princess Ruolan in her mood these days? I'm afraid that she will be locked up by us and go crazy." ”
The fat man's face immediately showed a little smile: "That little fat girl has a bit of talent." The tricks I taught her were not slow to learn, and now I don't need me to lock her up, and she hides in the secret room every day to practice...... This guy is a little interesting, quite a bit of the charm of my old man when he was young, and even the Douqi method I created, her cultivation is actually faster than I was back then......"
Imperial Tulip Family Fiefdom, on the outskirts of Xiqiu City, the capital of Xilin Province, Tulip Family Hunting Ground.
"Roddy, hurry! there!" "Moon Dance stood on a tree branch, carrying a bow on her back, and pointed excitedly into the distance.
A wild fox was prick up its ears vigilantly, heard the shouts of the people, and swooped into the grass.
Shout!
With the sound of breaking through the air, a sharp arrow had been accurately inserted into the body of the fleeing wild fox, and the beast rolled twice on the spot, and then fell down and convulsed.
With a long howl, a gray shadow rushed over like lightning, and a giant wolf with three eyes and gray had already rushed over, taking the wild fox in its mouth, and couldn't help but bite off a piece.
"Bold!" Moon Dance jumped down from the tree, took out a whistle and blew it fiercely, and the three-eyed giant wolf immediately trembled, shrunk into a ball, and buried its head in the ground and whimpered. The light moon dance was not easy to forgive, and the whip in his hand was whipped twice before stopping.
"Alright, Light Moon Dance, that's enough. Roddy rode on a black warhorse, his bow lowered, and slowly came up from behind.
He was dressed in a simple samurai attire, and his blue head was cleverly woven into a whip and draped over the back of his head, and it was unknown whether it was written by Nicole or Miao.
"No! This guy is always dishonest, so he must be taught a hard lesson. The Light Moon Dance kicked again, and then stopped.
Roddy sat on his horse and cried and laughed. I don't know what the woman's mind thinks. This monster was originally snatched in the first place. I didn't expect to be raised as a pet by the light moon dance.
Although she is a beautiful girl, it is not a simple thing to be her pet. It's ridiculous that a three-eyed wolf monster was actually bred by the Light Moon Dance to raise it as the first vegetarian wolf in history! The three-eyed wolf, who had not eaten meat for a long time, naturally couldn't help it when he saw his prey at this moment. Although Luo Di pitied the wolf, he himself would not provoke the girl of the Light Moon Dance for the sake of a demonic beast. I could only look at the whimpering wolf sympathetically, and closed my mouth and stopped talking.
Roddy let out a roar, and from the branch of the tree was a night owl, the same demonic beast that he had snatched from the blood clan.
Roddy cleaned up his prey hanging on his horse, and went to the lake in the middle of the hunting ground with Moondance.
On the shore of the lake, a simple camp had already been cleaned up, a few horses were quietly grazing on the side, but Miao Ge and Nicole had already set up a barbecue grill.
Miao Si was the only one sitting by the lake, meditating and cultivating magic with her eyes closed. These days, her strength has gradually recovered. Although the progress is a little slow, meditating and cultivating magic every day will one day be able to restore the level of the original Black Veil Sage.
I heard a plop, and a person had jumped out of the lake, it was the guard Rand. He was already soaking wet. But he had two big fish in his hand.
He strode ashore, his body was so lucky that his soaked clothes were all dry in a moment. Miao Ge has already taken over the fish and continues to remediate.
When Luo Di saw this scene, he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't there no fish in this lake?"
Nicole looked up and smiled, "I didn't have it, but after we left last time." I let people from the rivers around the lake. There are a lot of fish fry in it, and these days have passed, and there are already schools of fish and shrimp in it. ”
Roddy smiled wryly, "You want to eat fish." Just bring it from the outside, why bother making it so complicated?"
Nicole stood up with a smile, pulled Roddy over, and laughed in a low voice: "It's fun to catch it yourself, otherwise it's not easy to just eat fish." ”
The Light Moon Dance had already thrown the gifts that came immediately, and Rand caught them one by one, and then the cold light of the long sword in his hand flashed, and he sorted out the fur in a moment.
A group of people talk and laugh. They were in a hurry, but everyone was pampered on weekdays, and this kind of kitchen was naturally not very good at things, until the sun went down, and finally the dinner was done.
Since Luo Di's wedding, he left the imperial capital with everyone and came to Xilin Province. I lived a leisurely life here, and I didn't have anything to do every day, but I stayed with my loved ones, and I was very happy, and I really hoped that I would retire to the mountains and forests, and no longer fall into the mess outside.
Seeing that Miaosi finally opened her eyes and stood up, she walked towards here. Roddy took her hand and whispered, "How's it going?"
Miao Si smiled slightly: "Fortunately, it was a little slower at the beginning, but the past two days have gone much smoother." ”
After speaking, she raised her hand slightly, conjured a small flame from her fingertips, and said with a smile: "Look." ”
Nicole next to her said with envy: "Alas, it's the Black Veil Sage in the end." Although I am a high-level magician, if I want to use fire-based magic, I have to recite a spell first, but I am far from being as easy as you. ”
Miao Si blinked, smiled, and said, "If you want to learn magic, I'll teach you slowly." ”
Nicole shook her head and said with a smile: "Forget it, my magic talent is too far behind yours, and my cultivation will definitely not be able to cultivate your realm, or you cultivate well, when there is something in the future, our strength is too poor, and only you can help Luo Di." ”
Rand handed over a leather bag containing fine wine, and Roddy took a few sips of it, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've felt so carefree." Why don't we stay here tonight and not go back. ”
Miao Ge next to him smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "If you want to stay, then stay." ”
After speaking, she took out a small harp, and her slender fingers gently plucked a few times, and immediately a beautiful note flowed from under her hand.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Miao Ge, Miao Ge's voice was distant and beautiful, accompanied by the evening breeze, which made people feel drunk.
At the end of the song, everyone was still in the aftertaste, but the light moon dance suddenly shouted: "I'm so angry!!"
Miao Ge glanced at her sideways, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you crazy about?"
Danyue Wu frowned and said: "Miss Nicole is noble, beautiful and generous, Miao Ge has unparalleled talent in singing and dancing, and Miao Si is magical, but me, I can't do anything!"
Nicole smiled slightly and said, "You know swordsmanship, but you are a powerful samurai, and we can't compare to you in this regard." ”
Light Moon Dance rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, come, Rand, have a competition with me!"
After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and pulled out a short sword, and he was about to challenge Rand.
The burly Rand was silent, not even daring to look at the Moon Dance, standing there like a stake.
Miao Ge grabbed the light moon dance and said with a smile: "You are smart, the strongest force here is Luo Di, why don't you challenge him?"
Light Moon Dance covered her mouth and smiled: "Although I'm not smart, I'm not stupid. It's almost the same to bully and bully Rand with my ability, how dare I think of a strong person in the field to challenge?"
Roddy sat on the sidelines and just smiled. Looking at the moonlight in the sky, I only feel that there is no happiness in life than this. I just hope that this moment can last for a long time.
In the jungle, a horse came running from afar, a warrior of the Royal Guard, this warrior ran from afar, jumped off the horse, and said respectfully: "Lord Marquis, something has happened in Xiqiu City, please go back immediately......"
Roddy sighed, stood up, and glanced at Nicole and the others: "What's going on again?"
