In this world, "money", "fame" or "happiness" can be obtained through hard work, but only "time" cannot be grasped no matter how hard it is.

When I was a child, my father walked through the city gate wearing silver armor and was still vivid in my mind. More than ten years have passed, and although the scenery of Hollier City has not changed much, my father in front of me has entered his twilight years and is about to enter the terrifying thing.

The darkness.

Sally thought she was so strong that she could ignore everything, but at this time she was fragile and vulnerable in the face of "time".

"It's better to be with me, "Rose Cross" can there be something big about you?" Angma smiled and gently wiped away Sally's tears, "Something happened in the territory during this period has happened.

Big thing...now, remember when you were a child, you liked to listen to stories from bards. What is your favorite part called?"

"Called in 'Nebelon', Father."

Sally held Angma's cold hands and replied obediently.

"Yes, I still remember you always asked me if I could defeat the dragon." Angma closed his eyes slightly, recalling the scene when his daughter pestered herself when she was a child, and smiled: "You were only four years old at that time, and it was serious.

You will marry whoever can defeat the dragon, right?"

"At that time, I didn't know what a dragon was. I just thought it was a little more powerful than the wild wolf in the forest."

Sally still remembers these clips, wipes the tears on her face, and replied with a smile, "Father, don't keep it aside, what's wrong with the territory?"

"Someone really...killed a dragon."

"How is that possible?" Sally didn't believe it at all, but then seeing her father's expression was not a joke, she asked hesitantly: "Really, really? Who is so powerful? I haven't heard of a dragon clan in the territory...

There is no Yalong."

"We can't see the whereabouts of the dragon clan, but as a result, I have nothing to say - the dragon's corpse is now parked in Elsa Village."

"Elsa Village? That dragon-slaying person is...yes..."

Sally's smile suddenly froze on her face.

"Who else besides him?" The duke did not notice his daughter's expression, gently hammered his legs, and whispered: "Count how many big things he has done in the past year and how many enemies he has defeated? It seems like a slaughter.

There is nothing to be surprised about when something like Dragon happened to him.”

"By the way, I'll stay with you in the 'Sanctuary' for a while?"

"Well, but later he had an urgent matter, so he... left first."

Sally tried to calm her tone, but she felt extremely conflicted... Her father knew that she liked Roddy, and he had never opposed such a relationship, but how could he explain to him about his quarrel with Roddy?

Will Roddy forgive himself after leaving like that?

Such emotional cracks cannot be compensated by a few words. For the first time, Sally had no confidence in herself, and when facing Angma, she did not want him to feel any loss or sadness.

So she finally chose to hide it - "He told me to go to Elson City to work on things, and come to me after I finish my work."

"Young people are always busy. The city he found is indeed good, but..."

Angma then sighed softly: "In theory, there shouldn't be such an anomaly in the kingdom."

"If it were fifteen years earlier, I would have been the first to think of eradicating him. But now - the times have changed, and internal and external troubles have also made the stability of the kingdom no longer exist. I must support him with all my strength, because if I don't do so,

Iverst may just be a ruin.”

Sally never thought that her father would comment on Roddy like this, but she then understood the reason: a "newcomer" who holds military power, resources and heavy cities is an extremely dangerous existence for the old rulers.

Because no one knows whether such a guy will choose to swallow everything.

"The Russiflon family cannot just decline..." Angma looked at Sally and sighed softly: "My biggest regret in my life is that I have not seen the birth of a new member of the family."

Sally held her breath all of a sudden. She understood what her father meant - the older generation wanted to see the most was that their descendants would carry forward their family career, but Angma had lost this opportunity forever.

He has no chance to meet the next generation of the family.

The atmosphere between the father and daughter fell slightly silent. After a few seconds, Angma asked tentatively: "Do you... think Roddy is suitable?"

Finally, I asked this.

Sally felt her heart throbbing, but she showed a shy expression on her face: "I, I think it's useless to be suitable..."

"Just call him here to ask? Dragon Slayer Roddy, haha, this guy is destined to be a legend in the future."

Angma did not notice his daughter's strangeness. His laughter was very cheerful. Although he could not see the scene of a family of children and grandchildren, all this was going in the direction he expected, which was enough.

June 30th.

For the "Virgium Cross", although the battle in Brier Forest was a complete victory, they undoubtedly became the party that suffered the most losses in this war.

The soldiers' casualties are not worth worrying about, but the loss of the "Virgium Kiss" scepter made the Pope angry - the scepter that took countless manpower and material resources to awaken was actually taken away by a group of unknown people in the battle.

, and afterwards he returned to the "Sanctuary" safely.

Such things are like slapping one by one when they are told, and they are slapped loudly on the face of the Pope.

The scepter placed in the "Sanctuary" is difficult to regain, and even the Pope of "Virgate Cross" once gave up hope. However, today, a confidant who was undercover at the "Rose Cross" came from the church.

The news of hope rekindled...

The "Virus Kiss" magical staff has been "activated" by an unknown priest.

For the pope who knows "Kiss of the Viper", a magical artifact with consciousness will "select" users. Even if it is as strong as Cardinal Goethe, he will not be able to exert his strength without being recognized by the magical artifact.

.

From the history of the "Virida Cross", every user recognized by the "Virida Kiss" will be the "savior" who pushed the sect to its peak.

But what does this mean when the Scepter recognizes a priest of the "Rose Cross" sect?

When most people feel "absurd" about this, the Pope believes that this is an "opportunity" - an opportunity to truly collapse or severely damage the "Rose Cross".

So after the news was confirmed, the "Virida Cross" that had been dormant again finally made a new move.

With the Pope's order, a team of ten people left the eastern border of the kingdom and headed towards Iverta in the northwest.

June 31, Elson City, Pashar Demon Tower.

"The temperature control inside the building? This magic circle does exist, but... I think it's unnecessary."

In the Pashare Magic Tower, Camilla, who has adapted to the role of "affiliated", looked at Roddy in surprise and said with a puzzled look: "I think the first batch of crystals made are used to open the architectural array in equipment manufacturing.

It would be more suitable. As for temperature control... for an empty city, isn't this a total waste of energy?"

She was wearing a red robe and had a "strong woman" smell at this time, which made Roddy feel like she met a "strong female colleague" in the office in a trance-although he was nominally the city lord and Camilla was a subordinate.

But when there is a problem and objection, Camilla always has to argue with reason and is very imposing.

"It is indeed a waste not to live in, but if someone lives in, this energy will save lives."

"Help? I don't understand what you mean."

Camilla frowned, as if she had to make it clear, "Will it be full of people this winter? Unless there is a large-scale migration in Iversta, this situation is simply impossible."

"You've got the point."

Roddy handed over a plan written in advance, "The specific reasons are here. If you don't know anything, you can tell me at any time. Before winter comes, it's best to prepare these things... Can our city be as soon as possible

Development, in one fell swoop.”

"This..." After browsing the plan quickly, Camilla showed a little surprised expression, but shook her head: "This is an uncertain thing at all. How can we plan as a certain fact?"

"You forgot what I gave you?"

Roddy couldn't explain his ability to predict the future, so he put a pretext on it and said, "It was the shadow dragon who told me that she wouldn't be bored and lie."

Although this explanation is far-fetched, Camilla reluctantly accepted it after thinking about it. Then the two began to discuss other issues--and as an arcane genius and knowledgeable high-elf culture researcher, Camilla

I met Roddy again in these days.

Because she had never seen anyone with such a "strange" idea as Roddy.

Ordinary lords never vigorously develop their troops, because that means "military force" and they will starve themselves to death in a short time; they will not have a sudden idea to set up an "exploration team" because the rate of return for that kind of thing is too

Low.

If a lord does both of these things, he will be self-destructive no matter how he looks at it.

However, this is Roddy's future development idea for his territory: use "PVE" to drive the growth of resources and wealth, lay a good foundation for "PVP", and use war to support war in the chaos in the future to accelerate development.

PVP takes Soderol as the core and leads recruitment and conducts basic training in Pal, providing equipment, advanced training and transfer from Elsen City, aiming to build the most powerful combat force, no longer need to worry about it.

Any other thing.

PVE is a little more complicated, but to put it bluntly, it is the idea of ​​"mining": the PVE team with Roddy as the core specializes in refining some copies or regions with scarce resources, and establishing a trade hub similar to "Elsa Village", to "

Earn a large amount of resources and funds by investing less and paying more, and make every effort to improve the level and strength of top teams, laying a solid foundation for all-round development.

This sounds a bit nonsense, but in fact it is the operating structure of several super-large "player guilds" in the "Riding" land. Roddy was fortunate to have a brief understanding of it, so he copied it directly at this time as a "rapid development"
Chapter completed!
