Chapter 38 On the Road
There are floating clouds floating in the sky, and in the sun, on the green meadow, some crooked corpses lying across the wilderness.
The vultures unique to the grassland circling and falling, and occasionally crows flew by strangely screaming. These black shadows brought some haze to the quiet grassland. The blood had solidified, and the stinking of corpse gradually spread out... The battlefield left by Roddy when he rescued Sally remained the same.
Francis's men had already checked the place, but after all, they didn't have time to deal with the corpses of a group of orcs, so the original appearance of the battlefield was almost completely preserved.
And at midnight, a figure who shouldn't have appeared here was squatting down and carefully observing the extremely miserable orc corpse.
From any perspective, judging the complete process of a battle by the traces left by the corpses and the ground can be regarded as an indifferent skill. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, these corpses are pecked by crows and exposed to the scorching sun, and have almost no judgment value.
But for Soderol, who was 13 years old, who participated in the Southern Border War with the Baron's father, these things were enough to provide him with a lot of information about the battle.
Three days after the battle, the dead wolf, the orcs covered with maggots, and the dead horses that eventually died due to the trauma of the impact remained. When Soderol's tall body appeared on this battlefield, a group of crows and vultures were pecking at the roar.
He endured the stench and looked through all the corpses. Although he was still expressionless, he felt a little horrified at the fatal wounds.
“Good archery.”
Soderol sighed sincerely.
He had seen the tragic battlefield left by Lao Gesen and others to intercept the wolf cavalry. Soder, who had been studying orcs for a long time, also judged the identity of the wolf cavalry. Combined with the letter Roddy had watched him before, Soderold was not difficult to draw a conclusion... That is, Roddy knew about the enemy's conspiracy and saved Sally, who should have no hope of survival at a critical moment!
When he thought of this, Soderol couldn't help but feel a little excited - he was a descendant of a noble family who was in trouble, and he dreamed of having enough strength and status to revive the family and take revenge. However, he was young, but he was hit by reality again and again and again, and eventually began to become depressed and depressed.
During his days in Fenx Village, he was a little alienated from the scouts, because everyone knew that Soderol's ability should not be just a scout here, but he found that he could not see the hope in front of him-
Reviving the family? Even a colleague from a fortress can’t fight, so how can you talk about reviving?
Revenge? Whenever you meet an orc, you have to escape with the entire village. How about revenge?
The blood gradually cooled down, and Soderol fell silent like he accepted his fate over the years, but at this moment, he felt something was being reignited.
Could it be that I saw someone really make a "hero" move?
Regardless of whether Roddy was doing all this or not, Sodlor was sure that there was indeed a strong man here who could easily kill ten orc wolf cavalrymen and leave quietly.
In this society, how can a descendant of a declining noble not want to make a career? How can he not want to become a lord with great power?
His fingers trembled slightly, and Soder felt that he hadn't been so excited for a long time. He stood up, combined with the map of the Iversta territory in his mind, and carefully considered the route to find out where Sally and Roddy left here, but then he found that he could not judge where the other party was going at all, because the unexplained contradiction between Francis and Sally made everything more confusing.
In the end, the scheming Soderol decided to go to the Nolan village where Roddy was originally located. He needed to confirm whether all this was done by Roddy. If so... Then Soderolol, who saw the "benchmark", had already made his own plans.
He wanted to become stronger, and his scout position like riding a horse and herding sheep all day long had already endured Soderol enough. As long as he had a glimmer of opportunity to find a chance to increase his strength, he would not give up.
Back on a horse, Soderol's figure gradually disappeared from the horizon.
At this point, the historical events that were supposed to have settled long ago seemed to have entered a real chaotic stage at this moment - Francis had made the worst plan and was even preparing to "wait for the rabbit" outside of Hollier City to intercept Sally; and Soderol, the original outsider, changed his future plans because of the battlefield left by Roddy.
Historically, the city of Hollier, which was originally a funeral ceremony for Sally's death, is still quiet at this moment, as if nothing had happened.
Rody and Sally, who are in the Jingyu Forest, are racing against Frances, but no one knows who the final winner is.
.....
"It's really hard for me to imagine...you're really thirty-seven?"
Sally didn't know how many times she said this. Along the way, she had seen too many new things that she had never touched - except for the things in the copy of "Stalo Creek", Roddy then took her to leave Jingyu Forest with extremely fast speed and was definitely unforgettable in this life.
According to the usual methods of adventurers in the books, the best way to escape from the forest is to walk along the stream or river, but no one has told Sally that the speed of rafting along the river is much faster than walking and saves countless times more effort.
"I will remember it clearly if I exchanged my life."
Roddy was sorting out the things he had just bought from Kieg town by the stream, and replied without raising his head.
In the early morning, the two of them walked down the river at an astonishing speed with the help of a raft splicing of vines and trees. When Sally had no time to react, she walked out of the edge of the forest.
I'm afraid this is the first time that someone has done this kind of thing for the adventurer of Jingyu Forest, but for the "player" Roddy, this way of leaving the forest is really common. In the "cracking" he experienced before his rebirth, everything was trying to be realistic. The environments players experienced when they were adventurers in the forest were put into great effort, such as moisture, heat, mosquito bites, etc., there were no quick teleportation points, no scroll back to the city, everything had to rely on themselves. So after continuous research, the players who came to Jingyu Forest to play dungeons basically learned to use this method to leave the forest along the river.
Roddy still clearly remembers the scene when the river was blocked when there were many people returning. Now that he is not a person in time and space, he is a little uncomfortable when he passes through the river.
And now, five days have passed since the night of killing the orcs.
Since the "exposed" incident that day, the two of them have been silent for one night. The next day, Sally seemed to understand that she was not throwing a tantrum, and gradually returned to normal, and never mentioned anything that had happened before.
In this way, Roddy secretly thanked that he had escaped.
It was noon, and Roddy had already gone to Keege alone and returned. He sold the leopard skin and spider poison sacs in the town at a relatively low price, and bought a lot of food and what he needed in the silver coins. His next plan was to change Sally's image and take her through the town that had been patrolled by Frances, and go around the Endel Mine to return to Hollier City.
He could not ride horses or rent a carriage along the way, because that would be investigated by Conserton cavalry and town guards at the first time. Roddy chose to walk through the town because it would not attract too much attention. Once he left the town, everything would be easy for him.
"We're really going to get into Keege?"
Sally took the clothes Roddy handed to her, and seemed to be a little unbelievable about Roddy's decision.
"Your brother is probably rushing to Hollier City now, but there must be people following all the towns along the way. He will not simply wait for you in Hollier City. I'm afraid he has already invested a lot in order to block you this time." Roddy took out a purple-black plant stem from the package he bought and knocked it "ding ding dangdang" with the pebbles he found.
"So...we have to go back before him, or you may not even be able to get into Hallier."
When she thought of her brother's behavior, Sally also understood the current crisis. Speaking of which, if she could return to Hallier City in advance, she would have enough ways to ensure her safety, but no matter how she thought about it, she would not understand how Roddy had such strong confidence.
Francis must have returned on a fast horse, and he... was walking after all.
"Time is tight, dye your hair first."
Roddy gradually returned to his former "technical home" state, acting extremely efficiently without talking nonsense, and the crushed things in his hand could temporarily dye Sally's dazzling platinum-blonde hair black. This is the first step to disguise.
Along the way, Sally gradually got used to Roddy's style of behavior. Although the previous few things made her feel ashamed and angry, Sally gradually realized that the guy in front of her was about women... To put it bluntly, it was purely a stubborn and slow. Understanding this point, she was not as angry as she was at first, and sometimes even showed a submissive attitude towards Roddy's words - but obedient and submissive. When she lay on the ground and looked at Roddy's hair seriously, she still couldn't help but have some random thoughts in her heart.
It is said that men are the most attractive when they are serious. For Sally, who has never had close contact with the opposite sex, Roddy's appearance now does have some unspeakable flavor...
No matter how rational a woman is, she is still emotional. The two of them had been embarrassed, misunderstood, and life-and-death crisis before. When they think about it, they felt that there was a trace of indescribable connection between them. However, after the mood was calm, the feeling was faint and not strong, but it was flowing quietly in Sally's heart like a stream, and it existed, but it was not noisy.
Lying on the ground, Sally looked at the blue sky, her hair was scattered, and her posture was quiet and quiet. She occasionally saw Roddy's shaking hands, but the other party was frowning and thinking about something with dye in her hand, as if she didn't notice her gaze at all.
What a strange fool.
