After becoming the lord of Elson City, Roddy's [Taskbar] automatically triggered a task called "Arcane Control". The task requirement is to find all the books in "Rechargeable Crystal Making Theory", and the reward is this secondary profession called "Crystal Inlay Master".

This book "Theory of Charging Crystal Production (Volume 1)" is the only missing book in Elson City's entire set of books. The moment I held it in my hand, the task of "Arcane Control" was automatically "completed" - Roddy accepted the frame to add the "secondary profession" and then roughly figured out what "Crystal Inlay" is.

Originally, he thought this was a profession similar to a "gem inlay master", but after reading the profession description, Roddy realized that this was not a concept at all - "gem inlay" is to inlay gems of different attributes in the equipment to achieve the purpose of improving the attributes of the equipment. And "crystal inlay"... As the name suggests, the inlay is no longer a "gem" but a "magic crystal".

In contrast, its effect is naturally not attributes such as "+5 power", "+2% critical hit rate" or "+3% movement speed"...

Open the "Second Career Column", "Junior Crystal Inlay" under the instructions are a row of manufacturing instructions such as "rough crystal", "fine crystal", and "perfect crystal", and the other is the four big words "arcup infusion": "weak arcane impact", "short-time light feather technique", "light recovery technique" and so on. The essence of "crystal inlay" is undoubtedly revealed... Its fundamental purpose is to inlaid "skill" in the equipment!

Not only weapons, such crystals can also be embedded on voyeurism, gloves, breastplate and other equipment, but at the cost of "punching" will reduce certain equipment attributes, and skills often need to be recharged after casting before they can be used.

The stronger the skill of crystal storage, the larger the groove required, which leads to the greater the weakening of equipment attributes... Roddy understands that this "balance" measure... However, this secondary profession did not appear in the game in the end, obviously because it is too IMBA and cannot be controlled at all.

The "power" of this secondary profession is foreseeable: a suitable "skill" can definitely have an immediate effect than "attributes" at critical moments. For example, the "Demon Hunter" who relies on skills to explode damage has more short CD skills, and can obviously have stronger survivability and DPS in encounters!

"Rody, why are you stunned? We are about to arrive at the temple. Is there a team in front of us to pick up?"

Sally's words woke him up from his thoughts. He looked up and nodded, "It should be Rubens's team, I'll go and see."

After saying that, Roddy rode his horse and accelerated. Before leaving, he turned around and said to Nafe: "I will help you find clues."

"Thank you...Brother Roddy."

Nefi replied timidly, and when Sally saw Roddy walk away, she smiled and asked her: "How come you always look like you are afraid of him. That guy is not the same as being a little stupid, but the rest is fine, there is no need to be afraid of him."

"Brother Roddy is very good, but it's the light on him-"

Nefi hesitated and whispered in a voice that Sally couldn't hear, "Black... looks a bit scary."

*******

Time passed, and when the sun set, the team finally arrived outside the temple.

What surprised Sally was that Rubens, who had been promoted to "Cardinal", actually appeared outside the city gate in a white formal robe and personally welcomed her team of less than 600 people.

In fact, from the perspective of "Rose Cross", even if the battle is lost from beginning to end, even if all the bitter fruits have to be swallowed by themselves, when presented to the public, it must give people an image of "indomitableness" - so for Rubens, who has taken over this war, the importance of "crisis public relations" is self-evident.

The "Rose Cross" is not afraid of failure, it is afraid of being unable to recover after failure.

Therefore, Sally, who killed Goethe, became the only "hero" established by the "Temple" to save face after the war - the Templars in silver armor lined up at the city gates to blow trumpets, and the civilians wielded handkerchiefs and flowers... When the surviving soldiers walked through the road, they could hear calls such as "pagans will be purified" and "welcome heroes to home".

Such treatment finally made them feel a little relieved in their hearts, and Roddy, who really played a decisive role in the battle, put on a gray robe without any sense of existence and mingled with the ordinary team members.

He knew very well that in such an occasion, Sally could only stand in that position.

Rubens made the sky above the city look golden with a large-scale "sacred blessing". After a few simple speeches, he personally led the team toward the center of the city. While accepting the blessings and flowers of the people, he walked to Sally and whispered to arrange the next schedule: "The place for the team members is located in the church of Nefarem in the east of the city. I will let the temple guards take them there. You need to change your priest robe, and an hour later... go to meet the pope with me."

Sally paused and met the Pope. Such glory was not something that ordinary people could possess.

Rubens didn't say anything else, but looked around and saw Roddy in the crowd, nodding tacitly, and then said, "The scepter in your hand is the one that Goethe used before?"

"That's it."

"Hold it, take it."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and did not observe the scepter carefully, but sighed in a low voice: "Blessed by the Holy Light, it is better to be back safely than anything else..."

News about the crazy search of "Viridian Cross" in the past few days has been rampant. There have been news that the enemy has chased behind Sally's team several times. Just when everyone thought that the team was about to be attacked, the other party inexplicably changed the direction of the pursuit, allowing them to escape several seemingly unsolvable disasters.

Rubens knew about such a thing, but Sally obviously didn't know the twists and turns. Not to mention her, the other team members had no idea of ​​the fact that there were always two thousand pagans chasing behind him...

Sally didn't ask, Rubens didn't say anything. When the group parted ways at the fork in the road, Sally didn't forget to instruct: "Rody, you must take good care of Camilla, don't run around!"

Roddy pulled the corner of her mouth, nodded and then stood still next to Nafi. When Sally's back gradually disappeared at the end of the street, Roddy, who was truly alone with Nafi for the first time, remained silent...

Without Sally, Nefi's only reliance on this strange city is Roddy. The soldiers went back to the dormitory arranged by the church one by one. However, because Rubens said hello in advance, the one who arranged Roddy and Nefi was a separate residence closest to the bustling street.

Nefi still looked as if he was at ease, but because no one was chatting with her, she became a little taciturn, who was originally lively and active. It was not that Roddy could not adjust the atmosphere, but when facing Nefi, he felt inexplicably timid, so that he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

So he simply chose not to talk nonsense, and walked around the shops that had not yet closed on the road. After coming to this single-family courtyard, he led the carriage full of books and parked it in the yard.

Although the rooms arranged by the sect are spacious and tidy, there is no luxury as a noble life here, and there are no servants to serve food, clothing, housing and transportation. There is only a very old garden guard. After saying hello to the other party, Roddy checked the several bedrooms and cleaned them up, then came to Nefi: "The bed in the bedroom on the left hand is not next to the window. You sleep where you sleep at night, I sleep downstairs, and if you have anything, just call me at any time."

Then he looked at the sun that was about to set outside and continued, "I'll prepare some supper."

"…Um."

Nafi stood there stupidly, feeling strange: How did Roddy know that he was afraid of the bedroom with windows beside the bed?

However, such questions are really unasked. Nefi felt that Roddy and Sally like to chat were completely opposite. They just did things silently from beginning to end. The occasional questions were not to ask for opinions, but to make arrangements directly... Although his arrangements were very reasonable, Nefi was still a little uncomfortable...

She stood there at a loss, wondering whether she would go to the restaurant to sit first, when she heard the voice from Roddy from outside: "Go inside and take a rest first, the snacks I bought for you on the table, I will call you when I eat. Sally will come back later, don't worry."

"Okay, OK."

Hearing this, the little loli finally felt relieved. She replied timidly, then walked towards the hall with a small step - it was late, and the lit candles brought warm candlelight to the room. Nafi looked at the cross and sword used for decoration on the wall with curiosity, touched the fingers from east to west, and finally stepped in front of the armchair that was somewhat to her. After some effort, she found a buttoned dining plate and silver pot on the table.

This was obviously prepared for her. Nafi didn't hesitate and knelt on the chair and opened the silver lid, but the next moment, she was completely stunned...

The "snacks" in front of you include cream pudding, puffs and hazelnut biscuits, which are not luxurious, but are all Nafi's favorite foods without exception.

Because she is not rich in Mogra Village, she often eats similar snacks less than a few times a year. At this time, it seems that her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. She suddenly couldn't control herself. She reached out and took several pieces into her mouth and stuffed them into her mouth to eat them. When she felt a little choked, she picked up the teapot and found that the one poured into the tea cup was her favorite grape juice!

Nefi stopped in surprise and looked at everything in front of her with a dazed face: she was sure that only her mother, Camilla, knew what she liked to eat, but Roddy just simply walked around the street and accurately selected her favorite snacks and drinks from dozens or hundreds of snacks...

Is this just a coincidence?
