Instinctively feeling a mortal danger, looking at the wooden staff raised in Roddy's hand, Ruth's mind instantly flashed a trace of despair. 【】

The vampire roared and pounced on it with ten fingers outstretched. She had already used all her strength, and the strength of her whole body had reached its peak, and her whole body was like a raging wind. Roddy just stood there, squinting at the oncoming vampire. The "Moses' Scepter" in his hand shook slightly. The vampire pounced about a meter in front of him and suddenly crashed into something!

Nitis and Dark, who were present, saw a faint and strange light flashing from the wooden staff in Roddy's hand, and heard a terrible scream.

Ruth's body had already flown out, and a cloud of blood mist exploded in mid-air. By the time she fell to the ground, half of her body was covered in blood, and there was a cloud of blood splattered on the trunk of the tree next to her!

Ruth's body shrank rapidly, returning to its original human appearance, half of the broken limbs on her body began to squirm frantically, and the wound healed quickly, but her moans became more and more poignant, full of pain.

"Hmph, vampires' bodies are really strong. Luo Di said slowly: "Your body can heal automatically, but now the faster you heal, the more serious the damage!"

Ruth had no strength to speak, her mouth was tightly closed, but her eyes were still staring at Roddy, the kind of look in her eyes that was full of fear—she didn't even dare to be angry.

Roddy walked up to her and pointed the wooden staff at Ruth on the ground, the tip of the wooden staff emitted a dead white light, and Ruth seemed to be afraid of the white light, and her body trembled. Roddy slowly moved the staff over Ruth's wings, and Ruth screamed. The muscles on one of her wings quickly withered and dried up, turning into a pile of powder.

Satisfied, watching the vampire on the ground lose its wings, Roddy sneered, "So you won't be able to fly." ”

Ruth's teeth trembled, looking at the cold face in front of her, she only felt that the expression of that face was becoming more and more indifferent, and the wings behind her were destroyed by the other party.

In Duke Tulip's courtyard, Nicole and Miao Ge looked at the team of demonic beasts in the cage in the courtyard in amazement.

"Is this the land you captured?" Nicole felt a little uneasy, "Where's Roddy?"

The Earth Demon Beast in the cage seemed a little uneasy. From time to time, the fox wolf bared its teeth and snarled, sizzling and growling. Miao Ge seemed a little frightened and shrank behind Nicole.

Light Moon Dance smiled: "Don't worry, Roddy has gone to find Dark." As for these two things, it's honest!" she blew the whistle on her lips.

Miao Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two demonic beasts immediately lying on the ground. Nicole still had a sad face: "Miss Light Moon Dance, this is a demonic beast! You have caught two demonic beasts and come back, I'm afraid there will be trouble." ”

Light Moon raised her eyebrows: "What's the trouble? These two guys are so obedient." If they dare to be dishonest, I'll blow the whistle!

Nicole shook her head, as if she wanted to say something, but after all, she was not very familiar with the light moon dance, so she looked at Miao Ge. Miao Ge nodded. He said in a deep voice: "Light Moon Dance, this kind of thing is too sensitive, I'm afraid that the Church of God will make trouble for us!"

Danyue Wu pursed her lips and wanted to refute, but suddenly saw that Miao Ge seemed to have an eye on herself, and her heart suddenly woke up. This Miss Nicole in front of her is no one else, so she can't speak too harshly to offend her. Otherwise, "he" will probably be unhappy.

Thinking of this, Light Moon Dance put away all her temper and said honestly, "This is also what Luo Di captured." He must have had his own ideas. ”

Miao Ge and Light Moon Dance made eyes together, Nicole saw them all, she looked at Light Moon Dance and suddenly turned crimson, her expression was a little timid, and she seemed to be afraid to look up by herself. Nicole had a faint feeling in her heart, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's wait for him to come back." ”

The civilians of Xiqiu City were an eye-opener on this day.

In the afternoon, countless people gathered on the streets, you spread the news that Duke Tulip's personal army had captured a few vampires!

The security team quickly took to the streets to guard and evacuate the crowd of onlookers. Then Roddy led a group of soldiers, tied Ruth to a wagon stake, and walked down the streets of Xiqiu with great fanfare.

The crowd of onlookers looked at Ruth who was tied to a wooden stake and shouted one after another. They really couldn't believe that such a charming beauty was actually the legendary terrible vampire! Especially Ruth's ** chest and pale face made the citizens of Xiqiu feel really incredible - such a delicate woman could be a vampire?

Roddy sat on his horse with a calm expression, ignoring the civilians pointing around, and the vigilante soldiers were in control of the scene anyway.

He naturally had his thoughts when Ruth came to the street with such fanfare. After capturing Ruth, he immediately rushed to the vampire's lair outside the city of Westhill in an attempt to kill the legendary Prince Gasika in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, when he got there, the dilapidated building was empty, and there was nothing in it. Only the dense insect eggs that hung on the ceiling.

Luo Di knew what it was, so he simply burned down the entire nest. The sky-high flames attracted a large number of soldiers from the Xiqiu Security Station to arrive. Roddy immediately revealed his identity as an officer of the Royal Guard, and escorted Ruth back to the city of Westhill with great fanfare in the west of the soldiers.

As for the next step, Roddy already has his own ideas in mind!

Looking at the religious center that had arrived in Xiqiu in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Roddy's mouth. The bishop of the Xiqiu Religious Center had already come out with several warriors from the Flame Warrior Order.

Naturally, the faces of these white-robed gods were full of smiles. They were notified that the Royal Guard had captured a vampire and officially handed it over to them, as was customary in the Empire.

After a bit of hypocrisy with the people of these religious centers, Roddy left Ruth behind. As for whether these guys burned Ruth to death, or sent back to the imperial capital to ask for credit. That's not what Roddy cares about. Anyway, he had already done something in secret, and Ruth couldn't say a word at all. Now it's just a breath of air. There's no need to worry about what she's going to say.

"Just let the vampires mess with the gods of the Cult!" Roddy sneered secretly in his heart, "No matter who they die or live, I will be happy." ”

The news of catching the vampire made a fuss in Xiqiu for a few days before it calmed down. And Roddy hasn't been very peaceful these days.

Ever since the bottom of the lake came out, the relationship between him and the Light Moon Dance seemed to be a little delicate. When I was at the bottom of the lake, it was fate, and I was naturally excited to reveal my true feelings, but now I have returned to reality......

Nicole has been a little gloomy these days, and her gaze seems to be a little resentful when she looks at Roddy, intentionally or unintentionally. Roddy really didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. He felt a little guilty about Nicole in his heart, but he couldn't be indifferent in the face of the light moon dance.

Roddy could only try to avoid the opportunity to meet a few people. He minimized the number of visits to the Duke's Residence to meet Nicole. Most of the time remained in the barracks. Darker and Nith have not been seen since they left that day. Roddy went to Nidis's tavern, Duck was recuperating from his injuries, and Nidith was gone.

The Light Moon Dance seemed to run to the Duke's Courtyard every day, and Roddy was even more frightened to meet the three women. Remembering that when he went back that day, the two of them looked at him, and it was simply in dire straits! Young Roddy may not frown in the face of the most ferocious fight, but in the face of this kind of tenderness and resentment, he is helpless.

In this world, women are more troublesome than swords, magic, and vampires!

A few days later, the imperial capital came.

General Gordon of the Royal Guard personally came to Xiqiu with orders from His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the great Abbasid XI Emperor of the Empire has decreed that Roddy, a court warrior, viscount of the Empire, and an officer of the Royal Guard, has been promoted to the rank of Commander of the Royal Guard for his meritorious service in capturing vampires!

The duty of guarding Duke Tulip was carried out by a force of three thousand royal guards led by General Gordon.

Gordon announced the emperor's order, looking at Roddy standing in front of him with a complicated expression. For this young man, Gordon always had some doubts in his heart. This guy named Roddy seems to have fallen from the sky all of a sudden. After a war, he suddenly rose like a new star, which can be said to be "a steady rise". Suddenly, he was appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, and was promoted from the captain of a duke's personal army to the Viscount of the Empire, a court warrior, and now a commander of the royal guard!

The commander of the Royal Guard is an officer who commands 10,000 people! There are currently a total of five commanders of the 50,000 Royal Guards, except for Luo Di, the other four commanders, which one is not born in a royal family with a background behind him?

Maybe...... That rumor in the imperial capital is true...... This Roddy is really His Majesty the Emperor's......

Thinking of this, Gordon immediately forced himself to stop this conjecture. Gordon, who has been in the power circle of the imperial capital for many years, knows very well that this kind of thing is not something that he can think about wildly, let alone take care of himself! This kind of secret that involves the core of power, the more he knows, the more dangerous it becomes!

Nicole and the others were a little uncomfortable when they knew that Roddy was going back to the imperial capital. Although Roddy was also a little unhappy, in this situation, it might be the best choice to leave for a while.

It's better than staying in Xiqiu and watching the various stares of the three women in the middle every day.

At the Duke's Quarters, General Gordon handed over the army in public, and Roddy set off for the imperial capital on the same day. Nicole finally couldn't bear it anymore and hugged Roddy hard in front of everyone, shedding tears.

Gordon was dumbfounded—he had come from the imperial capital. In Westhill City, the relationship between Roddy and the eldest lady of the Tulip family is well known, but Gordon does not know.

The officers of Thor's Whip and the Royal Guard next to him looked at the separated lovers with a kind smile on their faces. Roddy sighed, knowing in his heart that he hadn't seen Nicole these days, no matter what, it was a bit too much, and he couldn't help but hug her hard. Then he kissed her on the forehead and wanted to say something, but he didn't know. After thinking about it for a long time, he simply said three words: "You wait for me." ”

With a team of cavalry of his own, Luo Di left Xiqiu and returned to the imperial capital.

As he walked out of the Duke's Mansion, Roddy glanced back at the tallest building in the Courtyard. Although Miao Ge was not allowed to show up in this public farewell due to the public relationship between Luo Di and Nicole, Luo Di believed that Miao Ge must be hiding from the tall building and watching him at this moment.

He waved his hand deeply. Roddy gritted his teeth and raised his whip fiercely. Take the people away from the main road.

A group of people rode lightly, and naturally it was much faster than when they came to the West Hills. Andy suddenly asked himself to return to the imperial capital, although he didn't know what it was for, but judging from the "return on the same day" on his local order, there must be something urgent.

Luo Di had long been accustomed to this kind of rapid march when he was in Thor's Whip, and these cavalry around him were also well-trained, and they arrived in the imperial capital in just three or five days.

With doubts in his heart, Roddy went straight into the palace.

Strangely, Andy didn't see himself alone. Guided by the palace attendants, Roddy went to a side hall where the emperor usually deliberated, but unexpectedly saw the Marquis Caroline, the Minister of War, standing there.

Seeing Roddy walk in, the Marquis of Caroline immediately smiled at him and nodded slightly. In any case, the Marquis of Carolinge had already pressed the treasure on Roddy, and the description of himself after Baron Gadar came back one day made the Marquis of Carolinge even more convinced that this Roddy was definitely a promising guy!

Although he was a little surprised to see the Marquis of Caroline, Roddy's face did not show it, but simply gave a courtesy to the old marquis.

Before His Majesty the Emperor came out, the Marquis of Caroline laughed in a low voice: "Your Excellency Roddy." How nice is the scenery in Xiqiu?"

Luo Di immediately replied: "Everything is fine, Lord Xie for your concern!" After thinking for a while, Luo Di added: "Thank you Lord Marquis for your care." ”

No matter what, people gave them a treasure knife, and a word of thanks is always due.

The old marquis smiled kindly, and whispered, "Your Excellency Roddy, I have also heard about you and Miss Nicole. If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to let me know. En......" He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "This time, His Majesty the Emperor has a heavy task to entrust to you, and after the matter is completed, I can come forward to propose to Duke Tulip!"

Luo Di smiled in his heart, these words were officially wooed. The so-called "heavy responsibility" must imply that this is a great credit to me, and it was he who suggested that I do it, and don't forget his promotion after the deed. And the proposal is a kind of emotional investment: after all, his nominal status is not high now, and if he wants to marry the eldest lady of the Tulip family, a small viscount may not be enough. However, with the Imperial Giant's War Minister proposing, it was different.

Roddy smiled and was thinking about what to say when Andy walked in with a fat Royal Guard officer.

Andy is now pretending to be an emperor more and more like him, his face is full of majesty and indifference, and he really looks like an emperor. But Luo Di saw Tianlie next to him at a glance and winked at him secretly, and there was a bit of ridicule and teasing in his eyes.

"Two old guys, what tricks are they playing!" Roddy couldn't help but feel a little numb.

Andy coughed lightly, and said with a straight face: "Viscount Roddy, I heard that you caught a vampire in Xiqiu, it's good!" The old skeleton put the emperor's shelf, then looked at the Marquis of Caroline, and said: "Marquis Caroline, has the military awarded Viscount Rodi a good order?"

Carol Lin froze for a moment, hasn't he already been rewarded? From an officer to a commander, that is already a few levels of jump.

Although I don't know what the emperor means, but since His Majesty has opened his mouth, the Marquis of Caroline has to seriously figure out the emperor's thoughts, and after a deep sigh, the old fox said tentatively: "Viscount Luo Di has now assumed the position of commander, and there is no other action in terms of military awards, Your Majesty means ......"

Andy pretended to sigh, glanced at the Marquis of Caroline, and said, "Since that matter has been decided to let Roddy do it, his current identity seems to be a little inappropriate...... After all, if you want to represent the empire, you must have a commensurate status. ”

Marquis Caroline's eyes lit up, and he immediately said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty, in view of Viscount Rodi's meritorious service in protecting Duke Tulip in Xiqiu, and even more meritorious in capturing the blood clan, I suggest that Your Majesty give Viscount Rodi an additional reward!"

Andy blinked and smiled, "Oh, and what do you mean, Marquis Caroline?"

The old marquis couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart: "You want to promote your illegitimate son, but you want me to open your mouth to find you a step." Of course, his face was never daring to show it, he pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Viscount Luo Di's military position has reached the commander." At his age, this military rank is not low. Your Majesty...... I wonder if I should give Viscount Roddy some other rewards, such as knighthoods......"

Andy couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The old fox, it's really an old fox, it's just exquisite, it's a little bit clear. The four words "figuring out the meaning" have been superb. Such a well-behaved guy, my old man originally wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and when the matter is over, he will find a way to kill you, but now he is really a little reluctant.

Pretending to think for a moment, Andy slowly spoke: "In this way, give Luo Di the title of palace warrior, knighthood, upgrade to one level!"

Luo Di was a little dazed in his heart--why was he suddenly promoted? The viscount was promoted to one level, and that was the earl!

Earl??

Although I am a little puzzled, there must be a reason why Andy did this.

Then Andy really said: "Roddy, I promoted your knighthood for a reason. There's a big thing for you to do. You have to represent the dignity of the empire, and your original viscount title is not enough, so you are exceptionally promoted to earl......"

Roddy didn't say a word, and waited quietly for the old skeleton to speak.

Although Roddy had already guessed that this guy must have something special to do on his own, the old skeleton's next sentence still made him almost jump.

Andy squinted his eyes, looked at Rodi with a smile, and said slowly: "Count Rodi, you can go to Roland 6." ”
