After sitting at the desk for a few minutes, the butler John respectfully asked Roddy to attend the luncheon. This kind of thing is a great honor for ordinary people, but Roddy was in a bad mood because of his concern for the future of the kingdom. He followed John to the restaurant without a smile at all. Anyone could see the worry between his eyebrows, which made the butler secretly feel: Why does this young man who saved the master still look so depressed? Hasn’t the battle been finished?

Naturally no one knows what Roddy was worried about at this time. When entering the restaurant along the ornate corridor, what he felt on the face was the warm atmosphere unique to peacetime... Although bloody and violent incidents have occurred recently, when everything has subsided, no one will regard such incidents as "a disaster", and they will only think that this is just a "small wind and small waves".

Rubens greeted him, Angma, who touched his beard and smiled, two knights in military uniforms and were full of vigilance, and Sally in long dresses - even Soderol, Ruger and Carter, who were accompanying him, did not realize what kind of storm this country will face next... because all of that was beyond their imagination.

"call"

Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized that all his plans could not be achieved overnight, so when he adjusted this state, he finally showed a polite smile, saluted peacefully and sat down, and participated in the luncheon with the calmest posture.

After a few days, the atmosphere of the luncheon was very different from last time. The main reason was that Rubens's attitude towards Roddy now was no longer cold and disdainful. Roddy admired the Bishop who could take it and let it go. Although the old man's attitude was no longer as reserved as he had before, he did not mean flattering or flattering. Instead, he treated Roddy as a "friend" worthy of recognition.

The meal is now also a "farewell meal". If nothing unexpected happens, Rubens will lead his team to the road back to the "Temple" tomorrow, which also means that Sally will also leave the city with the Superintendent Bishop and will not return in two years.

Under such circumstances, no one mentioned what happened yesterday at the table again. They were drinking and eating in a friendly manner, saying something to ask Miss Sally to take care of her health or take care of herself. At first, the duke's daughter replied with a smile, but when her father Angma spoke, Sally still shed tears in her tears. After all, her father's health had just improved over the years, and she had to leave her hometown, and the reluctance in her heart was still hard to hide.

"If conditions permit, write a letter to this place."

Roddy couldn't say anything else. He remembered that when he was in college, he had to call his home every two days, and he couldn't help but sigh that the communication was inconvenient in this era.

In addition to these, the meal was steadily eaten. Then Angma brought a group of people to the rear schoolyard of the Duke's Mansion, and directly asked the scouts to line up and conducted a brief but solemn "delegation ceremony" under the witness of Rubens. Although there were no other bystanders, all scouts... and Roddy also understood that it would be possible to let a "Rose Cross" superintendent witness on the side, such glory would be more than those civilians who could not read a few words.

With the long sword, Duke Angma awarded the title of "baron" to the descendants of the down-and-out nobleman, and solemnly awarded a territory belonging to the Russiflon family to Sodrool. In addition, more than 40 additional servants were allocated, as well as enough armed fifty people, five thousand fine silver coins and some food supplies, etc. Needless to say, this is all for the sake of Roddy's "preferential treatment", Roddy also lamented in his heart that the old duke's methods of dealing with people were indeed clever.

The scouts of Nolan Village canceled their original positions and directly incorporated them into the Baron Soderol's territory sequence, becoming the first army. As for whether Soderol enfeoffed the knights for them or brought them by their side to continue to be the guard, this is his own business.

After such a ceremony, Soderol chatted with Roddy for a brief chat. His attitude could not be said to be very happy or excited. Obviously, he was still a little knotted when he shunned Roddy. However, after Roddy said a few words to him, the newly promoted baron raised his eyebrows and immediately called Ruger and others to find Wellington.

Sally returned to the room under Titus' escort. When the people were almost gone, the lively atmosphere maintained at the dining table was much quieter between Roddy, Rubens and Angma. The two old men who always kept smiling had a slightly deeper expression, obviously they had something to say.

"Speak in the study."

Angma took Roddy and Rubens directly into the study, which also meant that Roddy had received the final approval of the duke - but at this time he was not excited, because after all the servants retreated, he saw directly the two pieces of parchment handed over to him by the Bishop.

"What was found in the undead assassin was a secret letter."

Rubens sat on the armchair beside him, his face was solemn and sighed while talking, and his wrinkles seemed to be a little deeper. "The temple guards and the city defense forces couldn't even catch up with that guy's shadow. Until now, I don't even know what that guy's name is. It's really..."

It is indeed frustrating to encounter such a powerful enemy, but Roddy didn't say much, just nodded and looked silently at the contents of the secret letter deciphered on the parchment.

"By the way, he left something behind, I think you should use it."

Angma next to him reached out and brought a box, opened it "click". Roddy, who was deciphering the parchment paper, looked up and looked inside. There was a short bow, a ring and a wrist guard. Needless to say, it must have been left behind by Magda. If it were placed in the past, Roddy would have rushed up to check the attributes of these equipment as soon as possible, but at this time he frowned due to the contents of the secret letter, looked directly at these powerful equipment, and continued to look at the letter without hesitation.

Duke Angma raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling inexplicably... Roddy seemed to have become more restrained and calm.

Rubens frowned next to him. To be honest, he was also worried about encountering a spirit of undead of this level. Others saw him win, but the meaning behind such a powerful assassin came to assassinate the great lord is difficult to understand. Such news will probably cause a lot of trouble to repay the "Temple".

When his eyes turned to Roddy in front of him, the worry turned into some praise again... He was very happy to make friends with people with abilities, strength and minds, but Roddy just politely rejected the invitation to join the sect at the dinner table, and Rubens naturally felt a little regretful.

The three of them were silent with their own thoughts. Roddy never spoke. The short bow with a faint blue lingered quietly in the box. After two or three minutes passed, Roddy spoke and broke the stagnation.

"I got a rough idea of ​​some information... Overall, the city of Hollier is safe next."

His eyes did not raise up, he lowered his head when he spoke, his voice calmly, but he also felt a little tired, perhaps because of the injury he had suffered before, or... it was the psychological pressure that others could not understand.

"He won't come back?"

This is a question Rubens is concerned about. He left two priests and two teams of temple guards to assist the Duke in defense. Although he knew that it would be useless if that kind of enemy came to the door again, this was an attitude after all.

"I don't have the ability to assassinate when I come back. The Ranger's arm was trashed. That would be basically a waste. Now he can't do anything."

Roddy shook his head, but then shook the parchment in his hand, "But this does not mean that he will not come back... The undead's recovery ability is very slow. If he uses normal methods, he will be light for ten years of rest, but if a pharmacist or something comes to help..."

"Pharmacist? Could it be possible to repair the limbs?"

Angma and Rubens both found it incredible. After all, creatures like the undead are unreasonable. They can pick up new ones after being removed. This matter sounds strange.

"If it is a high-level pharmacist, it may not be difficult. Maybe it will recover in three months to half a year. And now the worse news is that he is likely to get the help of such a pharmacist in the territory of Everta."

Then he briefly introduced the identities of Derby, Magda and Ansadin. While speaking, a bold plan gradually emerged in his mind...

"That means, the focus of the search now should be on Keege Town? No..."

Halfway through Angma's words, he narrowed his eyes and became silent.

Rubens next to him also looked ugly. To ordinary people, it seemed that as long as the Duke sent someone to search, no dead soul could hide—but the actual situation was clear to the two old men... Even if Magda and the one named Ansadin were moving under their noses, they would probably not be able to detect any clues after all.

The town of Kig is Viscount Tlanca, and the Duke has no right to send troops to search directly. If he breaks in and strengthens surveillance, let alone how to negotiate with Viscount, how could a powerful undead like Magda who can escape from the city who loses half his body, how could he be so stupid that he is exposed and discovered?

Ordering to allow Viscount Tlanca to monitor it? It is even more unreliable.

In this era, the great lords only had "tax rights" and "conscription rights" for their subordinate nobles. It would be better to expect these nobles to do their own things, but they would rather hope that Magda would hit Ansadin and die by hitting death by hitting him.
