July 20th.

The heat of summer gradually enveloped Hollier City, and at noon, the sun-burned streets would steam with unbearable heat waves.

After taking care of her father's lunch break, Sally, who was sitting in the study, carefully studied the annual income and expenditure data of the territory and the boxes of decisions made by the Duke.

Whenever she looked at the files with dates written, Sally felt the rapid passage of "time"... The days of fighting with Frances openly and secretly seemed to be yesterday, and when she came back to her senses, she remembered that the treasoned brother had died in the forest outside the city.

When I think of him, I can't help but think of Roddy... After a while, when the conversations come to my eyes, Sally only feels confused and looks ugly.

"Miss, some information needs to be processed by you..."

The voice of Butler John suddenly came from behind, causing Sally to come back to God.

"It's very urgent?" Sally rubbed her eyes and turned around and asked--Now Angma has begun to let her take over decision-making power, so these news are asked Sally to make judgments at the first time.

"It's about the plague... The plague in the eastern towns was suppressed, but the situation seemed to be not optimistic. The latest report shows that a similar situation occurred in the royal city of Ignaz, and there are also..."

"Speak."

Sally narrowed her eyes. Her father's vigilance was not aimless. It was just five or six days. The plague that no one regarded as a threat... actually began to rage?

"And there are cases in Tas Village outside Hollier. Today, the monastery has sent priests to clear the epidemic..."

"So close?"

Sally frowned, "Today, only the North City Gate will be opened and released, so that Rose Cross can cast 'purification technique' on all soldiers entering and leaving the city, and it doesn't matter if you line up."

John nodded and then added: "One more thing--Based on previous information returns, Baron Roddy may arrive in Halle tomorrow."

"He-------I, I understand. Then organize a brief welcome ceremony. This is a necessary etiquette...well, necessary."

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Sally was a little panicked for a moment, and even stuttered when speaking.

"Miss, that... Baron Winston from Pahanal, and Gris--"

"Don't worry about them."

Sally waved her hand and replied very simply.

*******

At the same moment, Roddy calmly raised his short bow and suddenly shot an arrow into the dark cave in front of him.

"Article Shooting" made the arrows draw a bright trajectory in the air. The next moment, a deafening howling sounded at the end of the cave... The thunderous footsteps sounded immediately, and the giant beast hidden in the dark roared angrily towards Roddy!

"Illumination preparation."

"Shield blessing."

"Nokia, on."

The moment Akasha raised her hand, the entire Endel Mine Tunnel was bright. The huge Kemara beast, forty meters away, shrank for half a second because of the dazzling light. When she saw the small-sized snapping turtle on the ground, it immediately raised its thick front paws and slapped it hard!

"Bang!"

Nokia, carrying the "Sacred Shield", was smashed into the ground. Although it was very disturbed, it looked unharmed. It even stretched out its head and bit the claws of the Kemaira beast, "hissing" and pulling off a large piece of meat.

In these two or three seconds, Roddy's "concentrating shooting" had hit the head of Kemara beast three times in succession. The bursting arrows exploded the head of the giant beast into blood and blood. It suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed flames, but it hurt Roddy less than 30 meters away...

Nokia was leisurely under Akasha's magic, holding on to the flames and attacks. Roddy's arrows kept stopping, and the bowstrings seemed to have a rhythm like a string under his hands. After the eighteen arrows were shot, the Kemara beast in the distance fell to the ground with a "boom" and there was no movement again.

Roddy exhaled slightly, but he felt quite emotional in his heart: In 591, this place was booked by a guild team of thirty or forty people every week, and now it is only 589 years, and he can completely crush the other party with his terrifying attributes...

At level 20 of Kemara Beast, although Roddy is only two levels higher in total, he can have strong titles, powerful equipment, cutting-edge technology, and Akasha's BUFF gain effect, making his strength completely impossible to measure by level.

"Huh... Such a big monster, how do you know that it's here?"

Akasha asked Roddy in curiosity.

The latter stepped forward, put the short bow on his back, reached out and touched the obstacle he pushed away with Sally, and replied: "I passed through here last year and was almost burned to death by this big guy, haha... Do you still remember the leather armor I once passed on? It was made of the scales it shook off."

"Really?"

Akasha widened her eyes, followed his steps with curiosity, and naturally grabbed Roddy's palm, "You are really holding a grudge. You come here to kill it a year later, hehe..."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Don't scratch...Don't scratch...I'm wrong!"

The laughter of Akasha like a silver bell echoed in the cave that once made Roddy feel full of crisis. Roddy let go of the palm that was placed on her waist, pointed to the nest of Kemaramon and said, "I came for that thing, who would rather come here?"

After saying that, he bent down and patted Nokia's turtle shell: "Good job, man, there's extra meal tonight."

He was photographed by the Gumila beast two or three times, but in its opinion, it might be no different from the raindrops. Hearing Roddy's words, it shook its head excitedly, and then crawled out of the pit on the ground.

The nest of Kemara beast was smelly, and there were corpses of various animals or humans everywhere. It was obviously left by the unlucky guys who were used as dinner. Roddy kicked away these things, searched the deepest part of the nest for a few times, and then took out what he wanted-

Sixteen "Molten Fire Cores".

Everything went smoother than Roddy imagined. The "Molten Core" in his hand was also an additional reward for "first clearance" in the game, but now they have become the first batch of raw materials for Elson City to charge the "rechargeable crystal".

After walking out of the nest, Roddy began to skillfully deal with the corpse of the Kemara beast.

"By the way... why did you pass through here last year?"

"It's a long story." Roddy remembered the scene of taking Sally all the way back to Hollier City from the border, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic and sad, "Duke Angma, do you know?"

“Well… I’ve seen it in the city square.”

Akasha's face fainted slightly. Her identity was the priest of "Viridian Cross" and she said it was quite "sensitive".

Roddy knew what she was thinking, and reached out to stop her waist and smiled, "Don't think about those things, no one dares to cause trouble for you now."

Akasha raised the corner of her mouth and leaned gently into Roddy's arms, enjoying the feeling of being spoiled and protected.

But Roddy's subsequent words surprised her:

"I walked through here with Sally, the daughter of Duke Angma."

"Miss Sally?"

Akasha had never had contact with Sally, she just knew that there was such a person, so she used the honorific title: "Why did she go here?"

Roddy didn't care about anything. While dealing with Kemara's scales with a skinning knife, he told Akasha about the conflict between Frances and Sally.

Originally, he was afraid that Akasha would feel unhappy because of some details, but because of the lessons he taught in the temple, Roddy simply stopped thinking about covering up anything and telling the truth.

"So... Miss Sally, she has always liked you very much?"

It is natural for girls to be jealous. Akasha will also feel good for one reason or another. But when Roddy said everything so calmly, she couldn't feel any sense of crisis about it... His narrative was very plain, and he had obviously let go of everything, but Akasha cared about something very much, so she asked this sentence unconsciously.

"It should be, you know that I have a hard time thinking about my affection and liking it. Some things may be obvious to you, but I can't notice them." Roddy shrugged and bent down to chisel the skull of Kemaramon, "I'm good at...well, this is the thing."

He reached out and dug out, muttering strangely: "Why are there four more?"

Magic crystals are generally grown in the heads of monsters above level 30, while Kemara beasts are only at level 20, so there will be no magic crystals, but Roddy remembers that he had seen them at the auction house, so he made this attempt-but when he picked up the crystal in his hand and looked at it, he realized that this was not a "magic crystal" in the standard sense, but a "consumable":

"Mutational Magic Crystal"

Use: Cast a large amount of flame and explode.

This is something that only "mutated" creatures have. Without the stability and abundant energy of magic crystals, they can only be used as "grenades".

He thought about the purpose of these crystals, and when he raised his head, he realized that Akasha was looking at him.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"She is the daughter of the Duke... You also said that after Francis died, she would inherit the Duke."

Akasha said seriously.

"That's right, that's right." Roddy nodded, "And what?"

"I thought, I thought normal people would think of marrying her, after all, Duke Angma has such a large land..."

Akasha, who was a pagan, has always been a little "lower". Compared to Sally's noble "duary heir", she felt that she was simply the worthless clam shell next to the pearl...

"I'm wondering, why don't you choose her--"

“I’m not doing business.”

Roddy interrupted Akasha with a smile, pinched her face and whispered: "I like you, is this reason enough?"

Akasha's eyes drooped, and the empty feeling in her heart was suddenly filled with the happiness produced by this sentence, and some inferiority complex also disappeared.

Not long after, Roddy, packed more than 20 "epic" scales and walked to the tunnel. After moving Nokia into the mine car with difficulty, he opened the [Pet Attribute Bar] and upgraded Nokia to level 14. After looking at all the upgraded skills, he closed the interface. Then he reached out to push Akasara into the mine car and pushed the brake lever...
