263. Chapter 263 【Pious】
The Duke's Mansion in the wind and snow was very different from the quiet and solemn as before. When the Temple Guard and the Duke's Mansion private soldiers sent Roddy's team to the front of the mansion, the entire square was full for a moment.
As a welcome party, seven or eight barons, wearing thick cloaks, stood by the mansion with expressionless faces, vaguely highlighting the Duke of Angma and Bishop Benjamin in the center.
Two powerful old men were so mobilized, so Roddy naturally couldn't wait for the carriage to stop before getting off. Although he felt a little dissatisfied and helpless, he had to choose a suitable attitude to deal with such a "popularity"— —
Roddy, who was still qualified in his "political IQ", jumped out of the carriage from a distance, cursing the two old guys' calculations for him, and greeted him with a "flattered" expression: "Duke, Lord Bishop, here I am lucky enough to be disgraced, but I can’t bear such courtesy.”
Roddy thought he would see the satisfied and even smug smiles of the two old men, but after getting closer, he realized that Duke Angma's face was not good--his face was pale, his lips were blue and purple, and his eyes were still sharp. However, the bags in the eyes were so swollen that they were obviously in a state of illness.
"This is…"
"Follow it first, explain the specific reason to you tonight."
The Duke whispered to Roddy, then smiled and said loudly: "The Russifron family can have a member like you, it should be called a blessing. I see all your efforts. , As my guard captain, your contribution to your territory and even the kingdom will live up to my cultivation!”
Roddy immediately realized that Angma's posture was for the nobles next to him--although he didn't know why he became the "captain of the guard", he still made a quick decision and respectfully polite gesture, lowering his teeth. Sheng asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Just finish this meal..."
After saying this, Bishop Benjamin raised his hand to release a "holy light technique" and said with a pious look: "Captain Roddy leads the team to fight bravely, killing the 'Wind' Magda, with outstanding achievements, for the 'Rose Cross 'It cleared another sin in the world..."
As he said that, he took out a parchment with a sacred aura fluctuating. The wax seal marked with two keys means that this is the "Order" from the "Rose Cross" temple. He was originally despised by Roddy. The nobleman with his expression changed color slightly, and his body couldn't help but be more rectified.
"Captain Roddy will be the eternal friend of the 'Rose Cross' from now on."
This sacred edict is not just a short sentence, but Benjamin reads only so much - but the meaning it represents is enough to make ordinary nobles breathe: there is such a formal "sacred edict" Roddy has the big backer of the "Rose Cross"!
Amid the sound of the discussion, Duke Angma coughed a few times and announced that everyone would attend the dinner.
For Roddy, it was not difficult to talk nonsense with these nobles for two hours with a fake mask. What he cared more about was the "specific reasons" that the two old men just said to him.
Is they having other difficulties in doing this?
The dinner full of luxury was over two hours because Duke Angma was not feeling well. The nobles expressed their understanding and said goodbye to Roddy, the duke's mansion finally calmed down.
Sulun and Nata are not qualified to attend the dinner, Roddy is not worried about their treatment. I believe Angma will not treat her people badly - after the last baron left the restaurant, Roddy quickly led the maid.
I went down to the spacious study on the second floor of the mansion, and met Duke Angma and Bishop Benjamin again.
And this time, it was "honest" to each other.
At this time, the atmosphere in the study was not as "festive" as it was on the dining table. Duke Angma's cough was very harsh. Bishop Benjamin's face was a little worried. When he saw Roddy come in, he raised his hand to bring the precious and sacred seal.
The "Sacred Edict" handed it to Roddy with both hands and said, "The afternoon dinner mainly conveys an attitude to the outside world, and at the same time, it also gives you an identity. There is a reason for the matter, and I didn't have time to notify you. I hope you can listen to Angma.
sentence explanation.”
This is actually a very polite word. Roddy and Bishop Benjamin are completely different, but he put himself in a position that is equal to Roddy. Roddy naturally understood the importance of this and hurriedly took over the "Saint"
"I'm just surprised, I hope to find out what happened as soon as possible."
"Cough...Cough..." The maid heard the cough and hurriedly brought hot water to the Duke. However, Angma grabbed the water cup and waved: "You guys retreat first."
When the door was closed, Angma did not exchange greetings and said to Roddy: "The death of Magda and Ansadin is public information, but no one knew that it was you who did it. I also tried to arrange someone to convey some
Information confuses the public and downplays your existence, but an accident happened a few days ago - someone made your identity public."
"Open? Mine?"
Roddy was surprised and his eyebrows were raised: "What's going on?"
"I can't find out, this is what I feel difficult." Angma shook her head, tried to breathe smoothly, and continued: "The news suddenly appeared, and I made some of the things you had done before, and you took the role of
The position, the current territory, how many pagans have been killed…”
"This information makes you want to be immediately wanted by Viper Cross, and we have to do so in order to protect you."
These words made Roddy frown deeply.
This explanation made him feel barely satisfied, but he was still a little unhappy, because now he was tied to the "Rose Cross" and the "Russiflon Family". Not only did he have to bear the "Viridian Cross" wanted
The risks must also bear the open and secret arrows of the enemies behind these two major forces...
Such results are good and bad. Roddy was silent for a moment and didn't want to talk, but in order to avoid embarrassment, he looked down at the "Sacred Edict" - but the prompt that jumped out in front of him then made Roddy look at him
Yiliang: This parchment paper released by the Pope himself actually brought Roddy a new "title"!
【Pragite】
The reputation of "Rose Cross" is automatically increased to [Respect], and the effect increase is increased by 30% when receiving the blessing of the magic (still remain after switching).
Obviously, Roddy killed two undead enemies, Magda and Ansadin, to make great contributions to the sect, and the destruction of Kevin, the executioner, was also a great achievement. After all, this
The title is really a fight with one knife and one arrow, without any luck.
The 30% BUFF effect improvement is definitely a big number. If it is the "power blessing" of "+120 power", with this title, the effect can be increased to "+156 power". And a refined "gain system"
Shenmu can usually get 5-8 similar BUFFs. If you get 100% of the BUFFs with such a title, it may not be a problem to double your strength!
The most powerful thing is that the BUFF gained by this [Practitioner] title will not disappear because of switching the title... Open [Practitioner], brush the BUFF, switch to the [Last Demon Hunter] title, then more
The 30% gain effect will not be reduced by half at all!
It's worth it!
Roddy felt relieved and raised her head, but saw the blood oozing out of her fingers when Duke Angma coughed violently...
"this--"
He immediately realized that the Duke's illness might not be that simple, and his eyes immediately looked at Benjamin next to him, but the bishop shook his head: "There are too many magical techniques and they are no longer effective."
This sentence made Roddy narrow his eyes. Duke Angma slowed down, hunched his body, raised his eyes, and said word by word: "I know you still have resentment... To be honest, I'll give it to you, Captain of the Guard
'The title is indeed my selfishness."
"…If the war really comes soon as you say, I just hope--you can use the resources of this family to protect Sally and not let her suffer."
Helping Sally, not Duke Angma, is already the most obvious "instruction for funeral".
People are selfish, and is Angma doing this "selfish" or "selfless"? Roddy could not completely define it for a while, but he felt that... such a "father" should be worthy of his respect.
Anyway, I don’t plan to continue to live in seclusion behind the scenes. Such an incident is not something that cannot be handled.
Roddy slowly exhaled, and the last trace of dissatisfaction disappeared. Seeing the Duke wiping the blood with a handkerchief, he asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"
"I drank a dozen intermediate healing agents and it has not worked very much until now."
Benjamin's voice was heavier, and he obviously had no hope for the potion.
"There are some rare potions in Ansadin's legacy. I'll ask you to search for them. Maybe... it can be delayed for a while."
Roddy is the truth. Although the potions in the game are powerful, the rules of "birth, old age, sickness and death" cannot be ignored. Duke Angma was tortured by the "soul extraction potion" for five years, and his body was completely dry and he could last until now.
It was based on the fact that it was good in the past. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.
What tortures Angma is the weakness and serious illness. If you remember correctly, Roddy does have a drug to slow down the symptoms - although it cannot be cured, it can ensure that Angma lasts for another period of time.
“How long does it take to delay?”
Ansadin looked up slightly.
"It should be able to survive this winter." Roddy didn't ask the other party if he wanted it, and said directly: "Now, send someone to Pal, and you should be able to get it in a week."
Angma nodded silently, without saying polite words like "thank you".
The atmosphere was a little silent. Benjamin thought for a while and said, "I received a letter from Bishop Rubens the day before yesterday, a notice of change of position... Next spring, I will be promoted to Archbishop of the Diocese."
"District of Iversa?" Roddy looked up slightly, recalled for a moment, and changed his words: "No, it should be the Diocese of Bodog."
Benjamin looked at Roddy in surprise and nodded, "It's the Parish of Bodog."
"Congratulations to the Bishop, in another five years, you may be able to take the position of Lord Rubens."
