135. Chapter 135 Save your life after life
Roddy didn't expect to show off in front of these two old foxes, and it was a pure coincidence that such a thing happened at this time. But now it seems that he unexpectedly gained the favor of both of them...
But these old guys are so flawless. Roddy knew that he couldn't ask for anything more, so he could only smile and say nonsense like "It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding."
The luncheon naturally cannot continue now. Rubens also understood this point and immediately said a few words to the Duke about the handling of the undead. Then he said politely to Roddy, turned around and hurried back to the monastery. The appearance of the undead in the Duke's Mansion was also a big deal for Rubens - such behavior in the Tasman Kingdom definitely indicates something unknown, and he must let the "Temple" know such important information as soon as possible.
Roddy, who stayed in the restaurant, immediately asked the Duke to investigate the people in the Duke's mansion again and use the ring in his hand to identify whether there are other undeads.
Duke Angma agreed to this request without hesitation, and immediately asked someone to summon all the members in the Duke's Mansion. After such trouble, the Duke's Mansion immediately became lively. Nearly a hundred people, including servants, coachmen, housekeepers, guards, guards, guards and guards, etc., began to be arranged to come to the mansion in an orderly manner...
But under such circumstances, Sally, who ran out early, was still in a state of "knowing nothing"...
In the garden behind the mansion, Sally was grabbing the leaves in her hand, constantly saying words like "bastard", "wood", "idiot"...
At the age of sixteen, she is too young. Although Sally has grown up in the past few months, if you say it carefully, her "growth" is ultimately reflected in dealing with ordinary things. In terms of feelings, she is still a blank piece of paper and cannot be as comfortable as those old guys who have been tempered by time.
"In front of so many people saying this, you have already thought about how to get rid of me..."
In the cooler weather, wearing a long skirt and exposing her collarbone was not a good idea. Sally pouted and complained for a few words and felt a little cold - but she did not leave the back garden, but stood here stubbornly. Although she knew there was a saying that "being angry is punishing herself for other people's mistakes", she really would rather suffer this kind of crime than go back to face Roddy...
It's so disappointing!
Sally suddenly realized that this seemed to be the only time Roddy "actively" expresses his feelings for him - but the result... he hopes that the farther he goes, the better, the longer he goes, the better.
Does Roddy really hate herself?
She recalled that Roddy once mentioned a woman he could not forget on the way to escape. Sally knew nothing about the information about "that woman".
Do you want to compete for status with a woman who can't even see a shadow? It's unknown whether that woman is still alive! Seeing Roddy's sad look every time she mentions her, I'm afraid something has happened or she has been hurt by her?
Sally shook her head. Because the temperature was cold, she shivered by the cold. Then she hugged her shoulders with her little hands, looking pitiful.
All her mind was thinking of various "imaginary enemies"... But after a few seconds of thinking about this, she stomped her feet hard and spat inwardly - it was always a group of knights who threw gloves at each other and fought for a woman, so how could the daughter of a duke rack her brains to chase the captain of the scout?
"Don't you know if this fool comes out to find me?"
Sally pouted angrily, and finally decided to return to the bedroom. But just a few steps away, she saw a large group of servants outside the back garden rushing over, and the conversation reached her ears with the cold wind.
"It seems like the undead!"
"The master said he wanted to check everyone's identities-"
"How to check? Still like last time?"
"I don't know, I heard it has something to do with that scout captain..."
Hulala's group walked over, Sally raised her eyebrows, feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong. The words "undead" and "captain scout" made her feel uncontrollable curiosity. She walked along the path and met a maid in the mansion along the way, she stopped the other party and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss Sally-I don't know, the Duke ordered us to go over just now, but I just heard that we were going to do some inspections or something."
There were many servants in the huge mansion, and what had just happened a few minutes ago had not reached the point where everyone knew it, so the maid was as confused as Sally at this time.
"That's it...it's okay, then you go there first."
Sally smiled, but because of the cold, she tightened her arms tightly with her shoulders again. The doubts between her eyebrows became even heavier. She took a few more steps and happened to see the Wellington Knight who was coming back from outside. The latter had a serious face and had an unrestrained evil spirit on her body, but when she saw Sally, her breath disappeared immediately.
"Uncle Wellington."
Sally greeted him politely, not knowing that the knight in front of her had just pressed the undead Mel in the room and tied it up. At this time, she saw that the other party's originally clean dress had a little purple-red stain, and suddenly asked, "Is this... blood stain?"
Looking down at her body, Wellington did not deny it, and nodded, "It's blood. Something happened to the restaurant just now."
"What's up?"
Sally stepped forward with the Knight Wellington to return to the mansion, and walked forward with the corner of her skirt slightly. At this moment, she was full of confusion and could not think of how to get bleeding after having a meal.
"That maid, Mel, is the dead. Captain Roddy just saw through her disguise and subdued her-oh, the next second you walked out of the restaurant."
Wellington looks like a robot without emotions on weekdays, but in fact he is more active than Titus. He can see that Sally was sad and crying because of Roddy's words. At this time, he naturally has to work hard to improve Roddy's image - in any case... just let her be happier.
Sure enough, Sally's face, which was already a little depressed, suddenly raised after hearing this sentence, and asked with a pale face: "Dead... Undead? Mel? She is not--"
"It's the one who has been standing behind you. I think... Captain Roddy said those words on purpose because he was afraid that the undead would suddenly hurt you."
His footsteps stopped instantly, and Sally looked around with a panic look, and suddenly she seemed a little helpless. She said in her heart that she was afraid that it was impossible. After all, no one knew that a maid who had been in the Duke's Mansion for ten years and could see almost every day was the dead. Sally even remembered that today she was wearing this skirt, and it seemed that she was the belt that Mel helped to tie up...
So, Roddy saved her life again?
The face of the guy who had just been called a "bastard" by him came to his mind, and she immediately asked anxiously: "Then--Captain Roddy... he wasn't injured, right?"
"No, Captain Roddy is very decisive."
Wellington shook his head. Seeing Sally so concerned, he couldn't help but feel that Roddy was really lucky. He chuckled and said, "The Superintendent has left. The Duke is chatting with him in the living room. Are you here now?"
"I-I'll go change my clothes and come, don't wait for me."
After hesitating for a moment, Sally found a reason and ran away in a hurry. Until she changed into a gorgeous long skirt, her little heart was still pounding, and her original anger and resentment turned into a sweet sense of happiness.
That guy turned out to be angry with me on purpose...
Finally, she realized that Roddy was for her own good, and Sally's knot was basically untied. But she decided to apologize to this guy in person. After all, she could not shed so many tears in front of the Bishop and her father. But when she walked to the next to the living room, the voices from inside made her stop quietly.
"Speaking of this, I really want to praise you for being able to think of a way to let Sally avoid it in such a situation."
Duke Angma's voice was very easy-going, even with a little smile.
"I...ahem, I actually had some misunderstandings with Miss Sally yesterday, so... she seemed to have some prejudice against me today," Roddy's voice was a little helpless, "I don't know whether it is useful to deliberately provoke her or not. I didn't think so much at that time. I just thought that even if she was anxious, she came over and beat me up, it would be better to be far away from that guy..."
This fool...
Sally's lips curled up slightly.
"That guy can't be killed. It's better to ask everything she can ask. I have another letter here, which I found after killing Alpha, but..."
Roddy then talked about the "dead". When she mentioned this, Sally remembered that it was this guy who woke her father up. In this way, both generations of people from the Russiflon family were completely rescued by him...
If it weren't for him, I'm afraid this family would have been under the control of Frances now?
"I have roughly aware of the undead, but now I have a question..." Duke Angma suddenly felt a little heavier after asking a lot, "What's going on with Francis and the Orcs?"
When she said such a question, Sally, who was eavesdropping on her side, felt a deep heart.
Roddy thought for a moment. In fact, he had already had many alternative answers to such questions. But when he thought of the words Francis said in the Corb Forest, he felt that the seriousness of this matter had reached the point where he had to talk "openly and honestly":
"Actually...before this, I took the scouts from Nolan Village to the orc kingdom."
When such words were spoken, even the two battle-hardened knights changed their faces. Duke Angma straightened his back with a serious expression, but did not ask whether it was true or not, but whispered: "Kill... many orcs?"
"In total, more than 400 people were killed, including more than 100 wolf cavalry and a witch doctor." Roddy was concise and had no interest in showing off what he had done with the lord. "The key point is not how many orcs we killed, but the witch doctor - it was he who had contact with Francis and secretly sent a team of wolf cavalry to intercept Sally."
"You killed that witch doctor? What tribe?"
Duke Angma suddenly became a little excited. Although Roddy was a little surprised, he still answered seriously: "It's Rohal's Hammer."
