351. Chapter 351 Selfishness
May 3, afternoon.
While the pigeons set off at Iversa were still hovering in the sky, Roddy had already crossed a thousand,700 kilometers of long journey with the help of the "Kodar Duck" and arrived in the forest outside the "Sanctuary".
To be honest, Roddy has never experienced such a simple and painful flight in her life - this is not the business class of the A380. During the entire flight, there was no coffee handed over by the flight attendant, no music played in the headphones, and no e-books to kill time in her hand.
For twenty hours, Roddy faced only the wet clouds and the violent cold wind. Even though his whole body and head were covered with three layers of leather jackets, Roddy still felt his body blowing into a cold heart. If it weren't for the persistent belief in his heart, Roddy would have chosen to take a few more rests in the middle - but now, after persisting for twenty hours, he arrived at the destination as quickly as possible!
However, this feeling was so painful. When he jumped off the back of the needle-tail sand cone, Roddy fell and chewed the mud on the spot because of his stiff legs. Then he even climbed seven or eight meters before holding a tree and barely stood up.
Roddy held the tree trunk for half an hour before gradually recovering from the hypoxia state. Then he began to take off the thick leather jacket wrapped around him one by one, and after eating, drinking, and urinating, he ran straight to the inside of the city.
The temple was built four hundred years ago. The structure of the entire city is similar to other cities in the kingdom. The only difference is that the city has the largest church building complex in the world - and here is the core of the "Rose Cross".
The atmosphere of the city always exudes a peaceful and quiet atmosphere because of faith. Roddy walked in a hurry, but the believers on the roadside seemed to be completely unaware of the sectarian conflict. Roddy was not surprised by this. He rushed to the front of the church and took out the first "authority" he had received. After some verbal talk, he finally got the "meeting permission" from the Bishop Rubens when the sun sets.
The majestic and tall church has a Gothic spire, and the white marble floor and walls exudes the majesty and solemnity of paved surfaces. When walking through the corridor, the stone pillars on both sides are statues of previous popes and saints. However, Roddy was not in the mood to sigh at this time. He just kept urging the priest in front of him. Then, a few minutes later, he finally saw the Bishop Rubens with a surprised look in the study.
"Roddy? You're..."
Rubens did not expect Roddy to suddenly come to the temple to find him, and he was quite surprised. He said that he had already trusted Roddy very much, and he sighed even more after learning about Roddy's killing Bellom on the border, but obviously Roddy did not look like he came to reminisce. After a brief inquiry, Roddy told all the news straight to the point.
For this reason, Rubens's face suddenly became solemn. He looked around and then whispered: "This kind of news must be confirmed before the enemy's whereabouts can be reported to Moglani, and then he will wait for his decision to coordinate the troops..."
"But you and I know that it's too late to do this," Roddy's face was still a little pale, as if the warm temperature here still hadn't allowed his body to ease from the cold: "Now Sally is still in the forest, and nearly 10,000 combat troops of the 'Rose Cross' are there..."
"I know no one will believe this news, even if you doubt it at the first time... But this is indeed the fact that I have confirmed: if no measures are taken, all the troops in the sect may suffer heavy damage or even be wiped out in this battle!"
"It's No. 3 now... we don't have much time."
Rubens opened his mouth slightly, as if he couldn't react because his head had received too much information. At this moment, the door next to him was knocked, and a soldier handed over an expedited letter - Rubens took it and found that it was Angma's letter and immediately opened it to read it...
The content of the letter made his brows frown tighter and tighter, but a few seconds later Rubens raised his gaze in shock and asked, "Angma said you were still in Hollier City when he was thirty? But why are you..."
Halfway through his words, he realized that this was not the point of the problem - Roddy's embarrassing and weak look at this time had proved that this was not a joke.
Rubens was able to take the position of "Cardinal", and Roddy's contribution to eliminating the pagans and destroying the undead generals could almost be the first. At this time, through Angma's letter, he had completely believed Roddy's remarks that were just "a fantasy".
But the problem also followed. He put away the letter, sighed, and whispered: "I believe you, but the situation is not optimistic now..."
"The conflict between Moglani and I in the sect has been almost revealed. If the entire combat plan is cancelled because of a piece of evidence-free news, then he is slapping himself in the face. If he wants to rely on normal news to warn him, it may not work at all."
Unexpectedly, Roddy rubbed her temples in distress. After a moment of thinking, he asked, "Then do they have no reserve team?"
"Because the enemy has never actively resisted, Moglani did not use the three thousand soldiers of the subsequent reserve team at all. These people should be on standby in Pas Town now."
The town of Pas is on the east side of the Breer Forest, only a day and a night away from the village of Mogra.
Rubens understood what Roddy meant, but he shook his head straightforwardly and said, "I can't convince Moglani to use the reserve team. I'm afraid he will still be suspicious after I talk too much - my position is very sensitive at present. If there is any action, Moglani may take the opportunity to make trouble..."
This is not an excuse to shirk responsibility, but the fact. Roddy understands Rubens's difficulties in this position, but he did not intend to let Rubens ask Moglani, but asked slowly after taking a deep breath: "Now there is only one way to do it, but I don't know if you are willing to help me..."
Rubens's expression became serious: "I just want to know whether your plan is out of your own selfishness?"
"Yes," Roddy admitted without hesitation, "I want to save Sally, I don't want her to die. And I have a very important friend in Mogra village, and I don't want her to be affected by the war."
After saying this, the atmosphere around him fell silent.
Rubens narrowed his eyes, moved away after looking at Roddy for a moment, then reached out and closed the door of the study.
"Then... say in detail."
*******
May 4th.
Naifie, who was wandering around the village as usual, suddenly found that there were more people wearing teaching robes in the village.
There were not many people on the other side, and there were only twelve or three. While speaking certain doctrines loudly, they raised the necklace with crossed rose crosses in their hands in the air, like the villagers around them showing something.
The "Rose Cross" has a lot of believers in the Kingdom of Karen, and there are almost a few missions like this every year. In rural areas where the education level is generally low, the faith of farmers cannot bring them much gold donations, but can provide a better source of soldiers, so most people are no longer surprised by similar situations.
But the guys who appeared this year made Nefi a little strange.
Because the "priest" who was leading the speech was the guy who asked Sally where the village chief was... In my impression, the other party was not wearing a robe and did not look like a light-like body.
"Camilla, why, do you still want to join the church as a nun?"
"Not, I just think they are a little different, Uncle Sam."
Nefi, standing in the shade of the trees, replied pointing at the guys, while Sam passing by touched his beard and smiled: "It's different. The missionaries who have been there in the past are all pale and thin. These guys from this year seem to have finally had a few full meals."
This is true. Although the robe is loose, it can still be seen that most of these people are strong and have thick arms, which are obviously not the weak pastors they used to be - but Nefi's attention is obviously different from Sam. When most people only pay attention to appearance, Nefi can see the faint light emitted from the surface of these guys...
Such ability seemed to be innate. She could see the soft blue light on her mother's body and the white light on Sally. Now, he saw some purple fog on these guys who called themselves "Rose Cross" believers.
"This should be a shadow element..."
Sally tilted her head and looked for a long time. Sam thought she was really curious, so he said, "I just came back from the neighboring village today. I heard that many such believers have come to the nearby village these days, and even Templars riding horses. Do you want to go and see it? It seems that they are still wearing full-body armor!"
"It's obviously Uncle Sam, do you want to go and see it!"
Nafei exposed his little thoughts without giving him face, and then jumped and ran home - but after pushing open the wooden door, Nafei's originally relaxed expression revealed some hesitation and seriousness that he had never felt before...
"Mom said that it is usually bad people who disguise themselves."
She muttered softly, and moved the wooden stool to the bookshelf with some difficulty, then climbed onto the wooden stool and tiptoed, reaching out to pull out a seemingly huge and heavy classic from the highest level of the bookshelf.
This book, which is one-third of the size of Nefi, is actually very light. He jumped off the bench swayingly. Nefi placed it "bang" on the wooden table, and after chanting a spell of the high elf, the huge book opened from the middle like a box.
In the dim light, three small paper scrolls were lying quietly in the center. Nafi thought for a while and reached out to take them all out.
Chapter completed!
