340. Chapter 340 Farewell
“What…what?”
Roddy looked at Brody blankly, and her head seemed to die in an instant - When the words "marriage partner" and "Nata" were combined together, a picture appeared in Roddy's mind: he was wearing a dress, pulling Nata in a white wedding dress amid the flowers and applause, standing in front of the bishop in black robe and making a vow...
He swallowed involuntarily, but shook his head and immediately expelled this picture - it was only Nafi who wanted to hold hands, and Nata... For some reason, Roddy always thought about the appearance of an iceberg tutor in the picture.
She explained the task coldly, guided archery with expressionless face, and an impatient and cold tone... These impressions have been deeply imprinted in Roddy's mind. It was really terrible to marry Nata!
However, it is also true that she kissed her in that battle five days ago to save her - Nata did not cry and make a fuss, nor did she be more cold to herself, but she was still as calm as before, what does this mean?
Although Roddy could not be sure what Nata was thinking, he could confirm that he was absolutely opposed to "marriage with Nata".
"That... I don't plan to get married yet, so don't consider me for now. I think Soderol may be better, and there are so many nobles in Everta and many marriage partners. I'll discuss with Duke Angma, this will be easy to solve."
Seeing that Brody seemed to want to say something, he quickly opened the topic - "Even if it is a marriage, I think it's more appropriate to wait until the situation in Everta stabilizes. Now the more important thing is the rechargeable crystals... Elson City urgently needs these samples for research. What's more important is that an organization is also looking for these things. If you are targeted, it is actually very dangerous..."
"I can't use those stones either. Just send someone to transport them away. All the books that can be moved by Wagra's ruins have been transferred to me, but these books are too difficult. To be honest, I may not be able to understand them in my life."
Brody was no longer worried about the marriage with Nata and Roddy, but was quite troubled by the large number of high-elf literature - in his opinion, it was a waste of talent that his ability could not exert the power of these books.
"There are six libraries in Elson City. If possible, I want to move over the books that are too difficult and exchange them for exchanges. My...subject is one of them, a descendant of the high elf and an arcane. She should have studied these."
Roddy couldn't explain Camilla's origin, so he could only miss his identity casually. Brudy just thought for a moment and nodded in agreement - Roddy once promised to give Elsa Village a bright future, but now his promise has come true... So Brudy never questioned Roddy.
Brody's idea is actually very simple, and it can even be called "simple". In a word, it is "Since you are good to me, I will be kind to you with my heart."
However, Roddy can accept something else, but he will not accept the "arranged marriage". After a few more words, he confirmed that Brody did not mention the marriage again, and said, "There will be some movement in the past two days. After the storm subsides, more caravans will come here to do business, so we need to wait first these days."
He stood up and looked at the team that had already begun to gather outside, turned around and said, "If there are people coming from other wood elf villages, they can drink and eat some wine and meat to let them experience the difference between their own villages and towns. Maybe they will talk less nonsense."
"That's a good idea."
The two looked at each other and then Roddy came to the square of the village - Henry and Buffon were injured. The fat man was wearing a bandage on his arm and was directing his subordinates to tie up the carriage tightly. When Buffon saw Roddy coming down, he came over to report the number and status of the team. By the way, he also briefly talked about the current armed forces and level of the wood elves. This carefulness made Roddy nod. After seeing that they were willing to fight to the end for a simple order, Roddy had no reservations and trusted them without reservation, and further delegated power to let them stand alone.
The caravan transported all the specialties of the Wood Elf Village, while the cavalry team led by Soderol formed another team, preparing to return to Palling with the rechargeable crystals under the ruins of Wagra, waiting for a new round of recruitment and training before transporting them to Elsen City.
Roddy went to change into leather armor, put on her back and then went to Nata's tree hole, preparing to say goodbye to the "student" whose injuries were still not recovered.
Nata was in a serious injury. She was in a drowsy these days and was still stable, but she couldn't get up. When Roddy came in, Nata was awake. He greeted her and naturally picked up the water cup, sat by Nata's bed, gently held her shoulder, and fed her a few sips of water.
Nata accepted all this silently without any resistance.
"The team is ready to set off, I'll talk to you."
Roddy put down the water cup.
"Do you really want me to take a month off?"
Nata's mood was obviously a little depressed.
"At least a month, maybe longer, in short, until your body fully recovers. During this period... I will not allow you to participate in any hunting or battle." Roddy looked at Nata, whose cheeks were thin and pale, and was actually heartbroken. The two of them experienced countless battles together, and they were always a bit unspeakable. This time, Nata was injured too much, almost equivalent to death... This made Roddy feel a little scared every time she recalled.
But at this time he didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so he pretended to be relaxed: "I need to go to the south of the kingdom, and I can't encounter any enemies there. You just need to worry about waiting for me to come back."
After saying that, Roddy felt that this kind of advice seemed to have a different meaning, as if the husband who left home to fight was comforting his wife...
He coughed awkwardly, and then he found that Nata's cheeks seemed to have a little flushing - but the wood elf quickly moved his eyes away and changed the subject: "Some things have never been a chance to tell you... Before the bishop died, he talked to his subordinates about what staff..."
Nata repeated the words she heard from Flak. Roddy had already asked a lot of things from the pagan who survived in the end, but there were things about "The Staff of the Viper" and "Cardinal Goethe" that he had never heard of before.
Roddy knew that "Virida Cross" was still competing with "Rose Cross" until 597, but he didn't know the specific things. He had never heard of "Virida Scepter" - because religious confrontations are often issues that will only be concerned after joining the camp. Roddy has been committed to fighting against "foreign enemies" such as orcs and undeads, and has not remembered too much about these.
Anyway, such a thing has nothing to do with me, so that is something Rubens has to worry about. Just give me a reminder to change my favor when you have time.
"I understand, this information is very useful." Roddy nodded, then heard the whole team outside, knowing that it was time to leave.
"I... leave first."
Facing Nata, Roddy was unwilling to say too many polite words.
"kindness."
Nata nodded slightly. Roddy knew she would not say much, so she turned around and was about to leave. However, when she climbed to the entrance of the tree hole and was about to jump down, he heard a slight reminder floating in his ears-
"Teacher, come back early."
Roddy's movements were slightly stopped, and he finally jumped out of the tree hole without turning back.
The team that had been prepared immediately left Elsa Village and began to head towards their respective destinations: Soderol returned to Palling with the cavalry and began a three-month rest: the soldiers needed to take a long holiday to relax and adjust their mentality.
Henry and others took new goods to Keege for a new round of sales. The market in Hollier City is not available every day, so they have set up the headquarters of the shop in Keege and have begun to deal with the alchemist guilds, magician guilds, and mercenary guilds.
Everything was going according to plan, and as the maker of all strategies, the only thing Roddy had to do next was to go to Hollier City alone to attend the banquet held by the Duke's House.
This is the last step in all the arrangements of Roddy and Duke Angma in the letters - and according to the plan, all the chaos in Everta will come to an end on this day.
*******
Time passed, and by April 28, it had rained for more than a week in the Breer Forest in the southwest of the Kingdom.
The team deployed by the "Rose Cross" in the Breil Forest has been in continuous combat for more than three months, and until today, all their actions have been smooth. The executioner team of the "Virer Cross" is on the verge of collapse after several failed counterattacks. The long line that was originally stretched was forced to shrink. According to the estimates of the "Temple", as long as all the reserve forces are put into operation, these enemies can definitely be eliminated in one fell swoop!
The battles of the "Rose Cross" sect are different from those of the lords summoning knights to fight. Because the sects are of strict hierarchy and prohibited, their army has extremely good coordination. Although most of the battles carried out in the forest are small battles, each unit can always maintain the same front, and by continuously putting huge pressure on the "Virer Cross", they finally achieved today's results.
The enemy has been retreating and the battles are getting less and less... Although the "Rose Cross" teams are scattered all over the jungle, they are very convinced at this time that the bishops of the "Temple" are conveyed by: these pagans are about to be completely finished!
Chapter completed!
