Time passes, and when the bell that represents the arrival of noon rings, the luncheon is about to officially begin.

When Duke Angma walked into the restaurant with a golden stick in hand, Roddy couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the old man was so arrogant. Although he suffered from the torture of "soul extraction potion" for several years, after a period of recovery, Angma was in good spirits and steady steps. Even though he was still thin, his whole body was full of vitality that he had never had before.

At this moment, his eyes swept around and stayed on Rubens's body first.

"It is the honor of the Russifron family to be able to enjoy the glory of the Bishop."

After a few greetings with Rubens, he immediately turned his eyes to Roddy and greeted meaningfully: "As a father, I want to thank you for your care for my daughter, Captain Roddy."

Such words made Rubens notice some abnormalities, but he couldn't think of any scout captain who could have anything to do with Sally, so he didn't take it seriously and still watched coldly.

"Honored, Lord Duke."

Roddy blinked and saluted without any extra nonsense, showing no surprise in favor and disgrace.

Although it was very calm on the surface, Roddy couldn't understand the old man's attitude at this moment. Angma did not name his identity and what he had done before, but just expressed his gratitude so obscurely... So is he thanking or threatening?

To be honest, Roddy hoped that the things he did would not be made public, and "making a fortune in silence" was the first way to go safely. Now it seems that Benjamin did not disclose his situation, and Angma did not seem to be ready to make a statement... Although it sounds good news, it means that the next lunch will definitely be quite embarrassing for him.

However, when the crowd was about to sit, Roddy still had some hope in his heart: If Sally could cooperate with the adjustment of the atmosphere, she should be able to eat the meal safely, right?

When such an idea appeared in his mind, he caught a glimpse of the late-arriving figure.

When Sally walked into the hall, it was really amazing. Even Duke Angma raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said softly: "My daughter is really... grown up."

The bright red floor-to-ceiling long skirt, a lace-edged waist, a crystal headdress, and a simple crystal necklace. The slightly mature outfit makes Sally, who has already developed a good figure, seemingly transformed from a "girl" to a "girl"... The waist that Yingying held was even thinner under the action of the waist, and the clavicle exposed in the air had a charming curve.

With a delicate oval face, she put on light makeup. When she looked at the dining table, Sally respectfully saluted the prefect and greeted the prefect. The nobles were very well-controlled.

He secretly noticed Roddy's eyes widened, and Sally's lips raised her lips without notice, and then sat next to her father with satisfaction...

Her image at this time is completely opposite to her simple appearance in the past. After saying hello to the Superintendent Bishop, she greeted the two knights. However, when her eyes turned to Roddy, she pouted and turned her eyes away...

"Forehead--"

This situation was beyond Roddy's expectations. His prepared words were stuck in his throat, and the atmosphere at the dining table was instantly awkward.

The Bishop saw this scene aside, and felt incomprehensible that Roddy could sit here for lunch together...

Duke Angma also unexpectedly that his daughter would do such a move, but he was experienced and immediately exchanged greetings to make the waiters start serving the dishes...

Although Roddy was extremely embarrassed at this time, if you say it carefully, he could definitely be called "deserved": women who hold grudges like this are the most unprovoked... Yesterday, he answered his confession with such a slut, and today he still hoped that he would give face? It was a complete dream.

I remembered the way Sally was so angry that she ran away yesterday. Roddy, who had already recalled the taste, smiled helplessly... I was so stupid that I accidentally did something stupid...

The exquisite dishes were placed on one by the servants, and the aged red wine was poured into the glass. The mellow red wine reflected the different expressions of the people on the dining table. Rubens took the lead in expressing his gratitude to the duke, which opened up topics. Soon Angma, Sally and even the two knights participated in the discussion. In this atmosphere, Roddy always seemed silent and alienated, unable to participate in any topic, and had to eat there on his own.

Soon Sally noticed this. Seeing Roddy sitting pitifully in the corner and teasing the fish on the plate, she felt that she had done too much, so she deliberately raised several topics related to "border" in a rescue manner, hoping that Roddy could participate, but the result was that Roddy continued to bow his head without any appreciation...

This bastard is so angry

After drinking a sip of red wine, Sally gestured to the maid beside her in a depressed manner. The maid Mel immediately took the bottle respectfully and carefully poured the wine for Sally. Then she took a few steps back and stood aside

No one noticed the maid at the dining table. Although Mel stood behind Sally with a smile, he was not worried about whether he would be noticed. The undead stood in the restaurant openly, and even the "Rose Cross" Bishop two meters away could not detect her true identity...

"Mr. Ansardin will come to harvest your lives soon, and rejoice in this last life..."

Thinking of this in my mind, Mel's eyes swept through the people at the dining table one by one, and finally stopped at the figure that was silent.

Ha... This young man is really strange. He was invited by the Duke to attend the lunch, but he only knew how to eat.

How could the captain of the scout, the duke, invite such a person to the mansion?

A little doubt in her heart also disappeared...Mer's task was to collect "useful" intelligence, and for "marginal characters" like Roddy, she understood that she had no need to pay attention to it. When she looked away, she completely ignored the character and turned to remember the conversations of these old men.

"The orcs in the north seem not honest recently, but speaking of it, those orcs are obviously vulnerable. Most of them are just barbaric and instinctively driven guys."

When Rubens said this, Roddy seemed to have finally become interested. After raising his eyes, he held the spoon in his hand, waiting for the next sentence of the Bishop,

"Speaking of this, the Roman Cross is also a bit concerned about the orcs' problem. However, in our research, these guys are strong, but they are all cowardly in their nature. I believe that if they face the human army, they will only escape by looking at the wind."

"Cough, cough cough cough..."

As soon as Rubens finished speaking, Roddy's cough suddenly sounded, interrupting his "high theory" about orcs.

The two knights looked at him with wine glasses. Sally glanced at him pretending to be careless, while Duke Angma looked around with meaningful eyes, but said nothing.

"I-I remembered some interesting things, and I couldn't help it just now, sorry-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah..."

Rubens frowned, obviously thinking that this guy was a lunatic, and immediately changed the subject: "Of course, the threat of orcs is always worth mentioning. What really worries us is the battle between lords in the southern part of the kingdom."

He paused, enjoyed this attention-giving feeling, and continued: "Some time ago, Lord Gordon finally launched a large army to attack Earl Mur, and there were a total of seven or eight thousand people in front and behind..."

"Oh? And this is still the case? Then Earl Mur is in danger."

"Before I came to Hollier City, I heard the news that Earl Mur was retreating step by step. His troops were always at a disadvantage, and I guess they would not be optimistic in the future."

The topic of "war" is always the most eye-catching, so the incident of Roddy's random cough just now was quickly forgotten, and several people on the table were discussing it enthusiastically. As the topic gradually came to an end, Rubens changed the topic and said: "The result of this battle will inevitably affect the pattern of the southern part of the kingdom. By the way, I still don't know what Captain Roddy... has his opinion on this?"

Asking a question like this is naturally a small "revenge" for Roddy's behavior just now - this kind of issue involving the battle of the noble lords can best show the level of the talker's own... For example, the two knights will analyze the arrangement of troops, and the Duke of Angma will make judgments based on the economic and political situation. Even Sally can tell the major advantages of Lord Gordon with a reasonable basis. At this time, leaving Roddy at the end to ask the question has a meaning of "making things difficult".

"view?"

Roddy was actually looking at the "taskbar" boredly, studying the clues of the advanced task of "Demon Hunter". When he heard such a question, he thought about it seriously and finally replied: "I don't think Count Moore will lose."

"hehe"

Hearing Roddy's answer, Rubens's laughter suddenly disappeared, and his eyes raised slightly and continued to ask, "What about the specific reason?"

"There are many reasons to win a battle, but in fact, just one thing is enough." Roddy shrugged, "The only reason why Count Mur is smarter than Lord Gordon."

Rubens just smiled and shook his head, but stopped asking questions, and went to talk to Duke Angma about something else.

Until now, Roddy, as a "participant", can definitely be called "failed" - he is neither the center of the topic nor does he participate in the discussion of the topic at all. His only function seems to be to come here to eat all the delicious food, and then make jokes like a funny person when others ask questions, which is really no different from the impression his "scout captain" gives others.
