395. Chapter 395 Waiting for you for a long time
Three kilometers west of Hollier City.
As the capital of the territory, Hollier is not only the most prosperous city, but also the surrounding villages are much denser than other areas. The village of Lax, not far from the West Gate, is located in the upper reaches of the river flowing outside Hollier.
The village has a population of more than 400, with regular fields and rotating windmill mills. Farmers walk by in groups of three or three on the country road. In the hot summer, everything seems to be ordinary.
And in this peaceful village, three guys in gray robes were waiting for their boss Wimbsk's reply in a wooden house.
In summer, few people wear long robes, but the four people in this room are covered tightly. They have pale faces, their eyes are a little hollow, and their voices are extremely hoarse:
"So...will the target arrive in Hallier City tomorrow?"
"Yes, Lord Wimblek, and according to the informant's return, the Duke's daughter even prepared a welcome ceremony specifically for him."
"Ho...welcome ceremony." Wimblek raised his gaze and gently twisted the staff in his hand with his fingers, "It would save the team from running to Elsen City."
The pharmacist Wimblek, who spoke, said in his eyes, the tone of "destroying Roddy" and "destroying the city of Hollier" were no difficult. Of course, he did have the capital to think so at this time: the Tasman Kingdom has studied the plague for more than ten years, and its power is definitely not as simple as it seems.
As for "destroying Roddy", it was just his task of avenging Magda, Belom and others following the orders of the parliament.
Wimblekske was not Augustine's man, he belonged to the Tasman noble parliament. In terms of political background, he was different from the undead who entered the Karen Kingdom before, so Wimbleks' understanding of Roddy was limited to the "Captain Scout" stage and did not take the other party seriously at all.
"Sir, do you need to bring that Duke Angma together..."
"Thomas, do you know what is the most painful thing for the elderly?"
"Angma has already stepped into the coffin with half his foot, but he has placed all his hope on his daughter-so...if you watch his daughter die before him...oh, this is the most painful thing for him."
Wimblek narrowed his eyes slightly, and a grinned smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The losses they brought to Tasman will be doubled!"
"Long live Tasman!"
"Long live Tasman!"
The slogans of the undead echoed in the room, while Wimblek slowly stood up and tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, saying, "Prepare for action, let us witness the arrival of a new era..."
*******
The next day, the sky was shining brightly in Everta.
Looking at the City of Hollier that appeared in sight, Roddy remembered the undead Magda who had fought here and asked casually: "Akasha, what does it feel like to control the undead?"
"I can't explain it clearly, just like you are manipulating your fingers. You don't have to think about anything deliberately. Those instructions will be executed by the soldiers. But I can only give some vague commands. If they are too specific, it will make me feel... a little headache."
Akasha answered Roddy's question very seriously, and then asked with some concern: "Is this rare situation for me? A priest can control the undead..."
"It's rare, but it's not difficult to understand," Roddy pointed to the direction of Jingyu Forest. "Even the dragon clan has been killed by us. What else is strange in this world?"
Akasha knew that he was asking him not to think too much, and she replied with a warm heart. She smiled and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about these questions. I have searched a lot of documents in Elson's library and tried...to understand the principle of 'manipulating the undead'."
This answer surprised Roddy, but he soon remembered that the gentle little pastor next to him actually had the potential of a "school master". His memory and ability to understand similarities were absolutely strong - he was also a little curious: "How is it? Can you control the undead?"
"How can I know? Elson's undead without freedom of will make me experiment."
Akasha reached out and pulled the corner of her eyes and made a face: "Besides, I don't want to be an ugly necromancer."
Roddy laughed loudly and reached out to pinch her soft cheeks. The two of them rode on horseback and played on the road, attracting the attention of the farmers and caravans along the way.
The journey from Hollier Gate is not far away. After entering the city, the familiar buildings around each of them sighed: Akasha was a wanted pagan when she left here last time, but now she looked at the monastery, but she no longer had any fear in her heart.
Roddy recalled the events that had happened in this city: the siege in front of the monastery, the melee in the square, the bombardment of Magda, etc., and the misunderstanding that he had had with Sally at the beginning...
Misunderstand…
The memories came to an abrupt end because when I thought of "Sally", Roddy's originally relaxed breathing suddenly became a little stagnant, and the smile on her face gradually restrained.
"Roddy?"
"Um?"
"There is a team ahead, and it looks like it blocks the road."
Akasha pointed ahead, and Roddy looked over, and then he realized that there was a "typical" aristocratic team blocking the way on the road in front of him.
The so-called "typical" is the unique pomp of young nobles in this era when they took to the streets...
He was wearing a gorgeously embroidered top, exquisite belt, leather boots and breeches, a sword with complex patterns hanging around his waist, and a tall horse with pure blood. Such a outfit almost carved the words "noble" on his face.
The six followers around him were dressed in uniform leather armor. While advancing, they blasted passers-by who had no time to dodge to the side.
Roddy looked at the family emblem on the side of the other party's saddle and explained to Akasha: "This is the emblem of the Winston family. If you remember correctly, it should be the lord family of Pahanal - this family is more abundant in playboys and playboys."
"Pahenal? It's a little distance from here. What are you doing here?"
"How can I know? I'm so idle."
Roddy shrugged and looked at both sides, and found that there seemed to be another noble entourage not far away, and the other party's family was also not native to Iversa.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
The two continued to walk forward, but Roddy saw an old tailor on the side of the road coughing violently - but there was nothing strange about it. He turned his sight and saw a noble entourage blocking him.
"Go and walk the way you should go, mercenary!"
The other party stopped Roddy and Akasha without hesitation, with a very stiff tone.
"I am Baron Roddy of Everta, soldier, what qualifications do you have to block my way?"
Roddy ignored such a small character. He shook the reins with his face and walked straight forward, almost knocking the other person away - Akasha followed him, wanting to laugh, but trying to hold back and laugh: This was the first time she saw Roddy appearing as a "noble" in front of others, and it felt quite fresh.
At this time, the nobleman in front turned around and looked at Roddy and said, "Baron? Sorry, I have never seen any nobleman dressed like a mercenary."
"Then you've seen it now."
Roddy was not interested in nonsense, and after passing by him, he was about to continue walking forward-this behavior made Earl Winston, who was furious in the fresh clothes raise his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Roddy with a squint eyes and said bluntly: "You want to pursue the Hollier Pearl? With this image, you are really a toad that wants to eat swan meat."
"What pearl?"
As he asked, Roddy quickly reacted: "You mean...Sally?"
Seeing the other party's default appearance, Roddy immediately clarified his thoughts, but then he found it a little funny: Even if Sally really wants to "take a marriage", how could she find such a dandy like you?
However, there is no choice for "noble marriage" - thinking of this, Roddy frowned, and before he asked anything, he heard the other party continue: "Baron Roddy, have you just returned from the forest? Haha... he is still carrying a lot of spoils. If the family is in a dilapidated state, I am willing to pay a high price to buy your goods. Next time I go out, bring a few more entourages to help you carry things, and don't let the maid suffer with you."
"Tsk, your axe and bow look pretty good, do you want to sell it?"
The Count who had been to Hollier for a few days obviously felt "higher". Seeing Roddy wearing leather armor, he thought he was a devastating nobleman. In the end, he pointed to the "Purification Blade": "Your sword is only used by women. If you are interested, I can teach you sword skills. In Pahanal, my sword skills can be named."
"I'm worried, no need."
Although Roddy did not fight with the other party, he also knew that the opponent's level 7 was only crushed by himself, so he shook the reins and accelerated forward and left.
However, before taking a few steps, he and Akasha found that the streets were cleared, and two rows of family guards stood on both sides with etiquette spears...
But this scene made the Earl Winston next to him smile a little "successful" and he asked the horse to speed up two steps, then waved with Roddy, "The Russiflon family is wise. This... Baron Roddy, please give in. Maybe in the near future, you might even call me 'Lord'."
This is obviously taking advantage of Sally. Even though he has "breaked up" with Sally, Roddy still has the urge to swing the axe when he hears this playboy making a fuss...
"Roddy."
Seeing that Roddy's face was very bad, Akasha reached out to hold his arm, and Roddy's gaze also retracted. However, just as he looked up, he found that at the end of the street, the figure in a white dress was standing there quietly, staring at him...
"Holly City always welcomes Lord Roddy, Miss Sally has been waiting for you for a long time."
The young butler of the Duke's Mansion came over to explain the arrangement of the welcome ceremony, and then said to Winston, who looked puzzled, "Sir, Miss Sally has something to do today and has no free time."
"Is there something...is it? Just to see him?"
