Chapter 46 Two Things (Part 1)
At noon, outside Hollier.
Speaking of which, Francis sent a lot of cavalry outside the city to try to make the final "struggle", but for this central city with the largest Iversta territory, it is difficult to intercept and inspect all those entering the city outside the city unless more than a thousand people are dispatched - they dare not guard the city gate to intercept, because Francis does not have the courage and power.
So Roddy easily led Sally around several teams of patrol cavalry, and walked leisurely in the courtyard to lead her into this city that had long been destroyed.
The scene of the city falling in the past and the war burning sky seemed to be still vivid in my mind. However, looking around, the peaceful scene formed a strong contrast with memory. He looked up at the city wall more than ten meters high, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Sally thought this was his first surprise when he came to this magnificent city, but he thought that what this guy was thinking about at this time was the debate post about the strengthening of the city's defense facilities. He recalled the content in his mind and confirmed it with each other. He thought that if he was in charge of the defense construction himself, he would have been much more efficient than now, right?
Walking in this first important city in the first player novice area, Roddy's understanding of it is far deeper than Sally imagined. As the capital of the Iversta Territory, this is the political and economic center in the northwest of the empire, the largest auction house, the most blacksmith shop, and the most precious raw materials, it can be said that there are all kinds of things here, but for Roddy at this moment, coming to Hollier City is not actually very suitable.
Because according to the level distribution, border villages such as Nolan Village, Vick Village and Fenx Village belong to the range of activities of players at level 1-5, and players will receive a series of tasks to guide them to areas like Keege Town to upgrade at level 5-10, then transfer to their posts after reaching level 10, and go to the fortress and city according to the advice of the professional mentor. Among them, Consetton Fortress is a task area that only involves the total level 10-15. As the most advanced city, Hollier City, most tasks can only be received at level 20 or above.
In other words, it is difficult for Roddy to make any profit in Hollier City now. Although it provides some low-level tasks, it is really not helpful to him.
Before he knew it, he walked into the city, and the tortuous journey was coming to an end. Although he wanted to say that there was no banquet that would last forever, Roddy thought about it and felt that this escape was not really a "feast". Finally, he stopped and turned around, and wanted to instruct Sally to whisper as usual: "The disguise on his body can be wiped off with hot water, and the color of his hair needs to be soaked for a while. In fact... there should be so much I can do."
He wanted to say something appropriate, but Roddy didn't say anything else in the end. He scratched his head, and somehow, his eyes were a little afraid of looking at Sally.
"Well... I get it. And... you said that you would meet me again before leaving?"
Sally tried to control her emotions, her lips trembled slightly, but there seemed to be nothing unusual in her words.
Roddy nodded, but nodded, but did not say the time and place.
Before Sally could say anything else, he took a step back, smiled at the girl who had been so far away from home for the first time, and whispered: "I have fulfilled my duties, Francis failed to take your life, and now... it's up to you."
Sally wanted to answer something, but at this time someone on the side of the road accidentally hit her shoulder. The thin girl staggered and raised her head again, but found that there was no trace of Roddy in front of her.
The unconcealed loss filled her heart in an instant. Sally looked around helplessly, trying to find the figure that could bring her a sense of security, but in the end, she saw the pure white roof not far away.
It was the monastery of the "Rose Cross" temple, the largest religious institution in the city of Hollier.
Sally took a deep breath, recalling the suffering and dangers she and Roddy suffered along the way, and also remembering the destined death of Lao Gesen and others, whose faces gradually became gloomy.
With his fingers tightened, the absolutely rational and confident Sally seemed to reappear at this moment.
Gently taking off her hood, Sally walked straight towards the monastery of "Rose Cross". She stopped in front of the tall and white temple church, gently washed away the disguise on her face with the clear water from the wishing pool, and then stepped towards the apse that only the monastery clergy could enter in the surprise eyes of the guards.
.
Roddy, walking on another street, felt a little melancholy, but this feeling was like when he was a child, he was about the same as when he parted with the instructor after more than ten days of military training. He felt a little sad, but there was not much hindrance.
The allusion of "destined for a lifetime of loneliness" is sometimes not a joke. Roddy's "reason" side is so powerful that the original sensibility in his mind is suppressed within five or six minutes after Sally left.
Thinking about the initial plan, Roddy felt that he had achieved the basic purpose of "save Sally". Although he accompanied her on such a thrilling journey, the harvest was really abundant.
When a player has been in so many years, the most profound thing he understands is that "it is better to seek others than to seek others" - to the bottom of his heart, he did not put all his hopes on Sally. To enhance his status and power is the "right way" that Roddy pursues.
To be honest... If he had the title of duke or the position of Archbishop of the "Rose Cross" temple, how could he have to think about taking risks like these few days?
Of course it is easy to talk about it. If you want to have any power, you need to work hard. Roddy is very clear that if you want to have the right to speak on this land, the first thing he needs is level - it is necessary to improve the level; the second is equipment, so that he has a greater chance of living in this troubled times; the next point is career planning. Military routes, noble routes, wanderers routes or church routes?
"Splitting" is not just a game where a person can be powerful after having high-level and top-quality equipment. If every player wants to become stronger, he must understand what force he needs to rely on.
Roddy also served under the military system of Russiflon. Later, when he was a living player, he also made a living by making skin and bows with the salary of a viscount in Hollier City. After changing to a PVP ranger, he traveled alone for a long time. After returning to his hometown, he joined the "Upraging Army" in the turbulent war and fought until the end.
There are many titles, such as "Legislative Captain", "Lone Walker", "Leather Master", "Bow Master", etc. The highest of them is "Shadow Hunter". This title brings him three active skills and two passive skills, and increases his agility and strength attributes by 15%.
Each person can "light up" three titles at the same time, and use its accompanying effects to help players deal with the current scenes, changing the cooldown time of the title to 24 hours.
Roddy knew very well the huge impact of different career paths and "titles" on a player. For example, his safest way was to continue to stay in the Lucifron scouts, and climb up step by step with his merits. When he was given the title of "Major", the convenience brought by the title was to allow him to have the right to mobilize the "cavalry team". At some point, such skills were extremely tempting for the ranger.
But now it seems that these are not realistic. The "title" is something that needs to be considered after level 10. What Roddy needs most urgently now is level and equipment, so he immediately came to the leather goods store in Hollier City with his memory experience and sold several blue-headed Kemaira beast scales, successfully obtaining generous returns of 3 gold coins and 24 silver coins.
This is definitely a fortune, because Roddy can't use a gold coin when buying a green suit with attributes at this stage, but he quickly spent two of them completely.
These two gold coins were used to purchase many materials and tools - the best quality magic cotton thread, mitral ingots, a set of leather making tools, various woods, colorful potions, etc.
The equipment Roddy wanted to make was a full-body suit, and the number of Kemara beast scales used was extremely large. He knew that if he casually handed over these precious materials to those unreliable slaughterers, not to mention how much they were privately embezzled, once the news leaked, he would definitely become the focus of the city... So now he must complete these steps independently.
Fortunately, Roddy, who had worked as a leopard maker before, had no headaches. His former title was "leopard maker". He would naturally be able to do such a job now.
This is another advantage for Roddy. Although his deputy in life has not been lit up, it is almost equivalent to retaining most of the level of the former Ranger because of memory.
So after finding a hidden hotel, Roddy threw fifteen silver coins to the boss, locked himself in the room, and silently started making his leather armor.
Once he was involved in this state of work, Roddy seemed to have returned to the boring and monotonous years of labor for life. For fifteen days, Roddy almost never walked out of this room, and even ate three meals a day in the room. During this period, he sent a letter to Nolan Village, which could be regarded as a report of peace with those guys who had a few days of friendship with their comrades, but there was no unnecessary information in the content, and he did not even mention the date of his return.
And in these fifteen days, several small events also occurred in Hollier City.
The first thing happened the day after Roddy entered the hotel and stayed in the door.
The guards of the "Rose Cross Temple" changed their past state of quiet guards around the church. Suddenly, hundreds of temple guards were dispatched, holding sword blades that had received blessings, and stood beside the main road of Hollier City, opening up a road that led to the city square - and the subsequent figures made nobles of all sizes in the city go out and dare not be neglected at all.
Bishop Benjamin walked out of the church and came to the city square in person, and passionately delivered his second speech this year.
His reputation was so high in the northwest of the kingdom that believers kneeled down and kissed the ground he walked through. No one expected that the Bishop, who was supposed to preach the doctrine this fall, actually performed this ceremony in advance and announced at the end of the speech...Sally Russiflon, the daughter of Duke Angma, has now become a new generation of "candidate priests" selected by the "Rose Cross" sect in Hollier City.
This is an explosive news for the nobles and civilians in Hollier City, because the Temple has always only selected "nuns" or "monks". To put it bluntly, it is a young man with the talent of holy art. It was almost certain that Sally would become an entry into the sect before, but no one would have thought that it would be so high-profile.
"Prince" is the upper level of "Monster". In a sense, this level is the starting position of the regular clergy. The leap from a "Monster" to a "Prince" is very difficult, and it can even be said to be one in a hundred. Many people can only silently devote their loyalty to the temple throughout their lives and cannot go further. But now the bishop suddenly announced that Sally has become a "candidate priest", which means that her position in the "Rose Cross" will definitely be unprecedented.
With the protection of the "Rose Cross" temple, Sally's status in the Russiflon family was instantly on par with her quasi-"elemental master, even slightly beyond that. The deterrent power brought by this was one of the important bargaining chips to fight with the other party in the future.
At this point, Sally also has the right to directly enter the temple system to study and further study.
