After sitting at the desk for a few minutes, the butler John respectfully called Roddy to attend the luncheon. This kind of thing is a great honor for ordinary people, but Roddy was worried about the future of the kingdom.

And he was in a bad mood. He followed John to the restaurant without any smile at all. The worry between his eyebrows could be seen by anyone. This made the butler secretly feel nervous: How could this young man who saved the master look at him?

Are you still so depressed? Aren’t the battles over?

Naturally, no one knew what Roddy was worried about at this time. When he entered the restaurant along the gorgeously decorated corridor, what he felt was the warm atmosphere unique to peacetime... Although one bloody violent incident after another has occurred recently

, but when everything calms down, no one will regard such an incident as a "catastrophe", they will only think that it is a "little storm".

Rubens greeting him, Angmar stroking his beard and smiling, two knights in uniform with vigilant eyes, Sally in a formal dress - even Soderol, Ruger and Carter who were sitting with him,

None of them realized what kind of storm this country would face next...because everything was beyond their imagination.

"call…"

Rody breathed out, but he also understood that all his plans could not be realized overnight, so when he adjusted to this state, he finally showed a polite smile, saluted calmly and sat down, participating in the luncheon with the calmest attitude.

among.

After a few days, the atmosphere of the luncheon was completely different from the last time. The main reason was that Rubens's attitude towards Rody was no longer cold and disdainful - Roddy also admired this person.

Although the old man's attitude was no longer as reserved as before, he did not mean to flatter or please. Instead, he completely treated Rody as a "friend" worthy of recognition.

This meal is also a "farewell meal". If nothing unexpected happens, Rubens will lead the team back to the "Temple" tomorrow, and this also means that Sally will also follow the Archbishop to leave this temple.

city ​​and will not return until two years later.

Under such a premise, no one at the wine table mentioned what happened yesterday. They all drank and ate in peace, saying something to ask Miss Sally to pay attention to her health or take care of herself. At first, the Duke's daughter was still smiling.

She replied, but when her father Angmar warned her, Sally still shed tears after all - after all, her father's health had just recovered after so many years, and she had to leave her hometown, and the reluctance in her heart was still difficult to conceal.

"If conditions permit, write a letter here."

Roddy couldn't say anything else. He remembered that when he was in college, he had to call home every two days, and he couldn't help but lament the inconvenience of communication in this era.

Apart from these, they had a solid meal, and then Angmar took a group of people directly to the school field behind the Duke's Palace, directly lined up the scout team, and conducted a brief but solemn "instruction" ceremony under the witness of Rubens.

"Honoring Ceremony" - although there were no other bystanders, all the scouts... and even Rody understood that having a "Rosé Cross" bishop witness from the side, this kind of honor was actually more glorious than those who couldn't read a few words.

More civilians will come.

The long sword tapped Sodlor's shoulder, and the Duke of Angmar awarded the descendant of the down-and-out noble the title of "Baron". At the same time, he solemnly awarded Sodlor a territory belonging to the Lucifron family.

.In addition, more than 40 additional

The servants also have enough armaments to arm fifty people, five thousand finely minted silver coins, some food and supplies, etc. Needless to say, this is all "preferential treatment" for Rody's sake, and Rody also takes this into his heart.

I lamented that the old Duke's way of dealing with others was indeed very clever.

The scouts in Nolan Village canceled their original duties and were directly integrated into Baron Sodelor's territory, becoming the first batch of troops. As for whether Sodelor would give them knights or take them with him to continue to serve as guards.

This is his own business.

After such a ceremony, Soderol briefly chatted with Rody. His attitude could not be said to be very happy or excited. Obviously, he still had some feelings about Roddy shirking the title. However, in Rody's case,

After saying a few words to him, the newly promoted baron raised his eyebrows, and immediately called Ruger and others to find Wellington.

Sally was escorted back to the room by Titus. When everyone was almost gone, the lively atmosphere at the dinner table became much more deserted between Rody, Rubens and Angmar, who always kept smiling.

The old man's face darkened slightly, and he obviously had something to say.

"Talk in the study."

Angmar took Rody and Rubens directly into the study, which also meant that Rody got the final approval of the Duke - but he was not very excited at this time, because after the servants left,

He directly saw the two pieces of parchment handed to him by the Overlord.

"What was found on the undead assassin was a secret message."

Rubens was sitting in an armchair nearby, with a solemn expression and sighing as he spoke. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened a little deeper. "The temple guards cooperated with the city defense army, and they couldn't even catch up with that guy's shadow. Until now, they can't even catch up."

I don’t know what that guy’s name is, it’s really…”

It was indeed frustrating to feel helpless when encountering such a powerful enemy, but Roddy didn't express much. He just nodded and silently looked at the deciphered contents of the secret message on the parchment.

"By the way, he left something behind, I think you might be able to use it."

Angmar next to him reached out and brought a box, opened it with a click, and Rody, who was deciphering the parchment, looked up and saw that there was a short bow, a ring and a wrist guard inside.

Said, it must be the [Wither One] Magda left behind

——If it were in the past, Roddy would definitely rush up to check the properties of these equipments immediately, but at this time, he frowned because of the contents of the secret message and glanced directly at these powerful equipments.

He continued to read the letter calmly.

The Duke of Angmar raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling inexplicably... Roddy seemed to have become more reserved and calm.

Rubens frowned beside him and said nothing. To be honest, he was worried about encountering such a level of undead. Others saw that he had won, but such a powerful assassin from the undead platoon came to assassinate the big lord. It is difficult to figure out the meaning behind this.

Reporting the news back to the "Temple" will probably cause quite a stir.

When his eyes turned to Rody in front of him, that worry turned into a little appreciation... He himself was very willing to make friends with people who had skills, strength and brains, but Rody just politely refused to join at the dinner table.

At the invitation of the sect, Rubens naturally felt a little regretful.

The three people were silent with their own thoughts. Rody never spoke. The short bow exuding a faint blue was lying quietly in the box. After two or three minutes of time passed like this, Rody finally opened his mouth to break it.

This stagnation——

"I have roughly learned some information... Generally speaking, Holier City will be safe next time."

He didn't raise his eyes, and lowered his head when he spoke. His voice was calm, but also a little tired, maybe because of the injuries he suffered before, or... it was the psychological pressure that others could not understand.

"He won't come back?"

This was a matter of concern to Rubens. He specifically left two priests and two teams of temple guards to assist the Duke in his defense work. Although he knew that it would be useless if that kind of enemy came to visit him again, this was an attitude after all.

"I haven't been able to assassinate him since I came back. The ranger's arm was disabled, so he's basically a waste. Now he can't do anything."

Rody shook his head, but then shook the parchment in his hand, "But this does not mean that he will not come back... The recovery ability of the undead is very slow. If we use normal methods, it will be easy for him to rest like this for ten years."

, but if a pharmacist or something comes to help..."

"Pharmacist? Is it possible that he can also repair limbs?"

Angmar and Rubens both found it unbelievable. After all, undead creatures were unconventional. It seemed strange to have one arm removed and a new one attached.

"If he is a high-level pharmacist, it is not difficult to recover. It may take three months to half a year to recover. But now the worse news is that he is likely to obtain such a gift in the Everta territory.

A pharmacist’s help.”

Then he briefly introduced the identities of Debi, Magda and Ansardine. As he spoke, a bold plan gradually emerged in his mind...

"That means that the focus of the search should now be on Jige Town? No..."

Angmar narrowed his eyes and fell silent midway through his words.

Rubens next to him also looked ugly. To ordinary people, it seemed as if the Duke would send people to search, and no undead would have anywhere to hide - but the actual situation could be seen clearly by these two old people... Even if Magda and

The man named Ansardin was moving under their noses, and I'm afraid they couldn't detect any clues despite all their efforts!

Kig Town belongs to the Viscount Tranka, and the Duke has no right to directly send troops to search. If he forces his way in to strengthen surveillance, let alone how the Viscount will negotiate, Magda can still escape with half her body.

How could a powerful undead man in the city be so stupid as to be exposed and discovered?

Ordering Viscount Tranka to monitor him? Even more unreliable.

In this era, the great lords only had "taxation rights" and "conscription rights" over their subordinate nobles. If they expected these nobles to do things for them, it would be better to expect Magda to crash into Ansardin and kill him!
