Chapter 410 One Point Better

July 23rd.

One day after the battle ended, the city of Houllier completely entered a state of martial law.

Soldiers patrol the streets around the clock, and the actions of city residents are extremely strictly restricted, and no matter they are high or low, they must accept the divine magic purification of the monastery bishop and priest one by one. Anyone who wants to enter or leave the city must go through strict inspections, and the city gate has also set a daily limit of 200 people.

And all these measures are to prevent the plague from breaking out again.

In the afternoon, dark clouds and thunderstorms quickly enveloped the city.

Lightning flashed across the air, and when thunder sounded, Rody in the study of the Duke's Mansion put down his quill, got up and closed the window, then looked at the empty street outside, and sighed.

The death of Angmar, the plague of the undead, and the hijacking of heretics, all these events happened too suddenly, and made Rody deeply aware of the changes in the world pattern.

It is now 589, but in Rody's eyes, whether it is the Kingdom of Karen, the kingdom of orcs, or the undead, all trajectories have been completely "deviated" because of his arrival.

When the future cannot be predicted, the pressure in Rody's heart is getting heavier: his "experience" and "memory" can no longer be any advantages, and when dealing with those powerful enemies next, can he still rely on this? A little "property" just started, to withstand the attacks of countless enemies?

There are many papers on the table, these things are not letters, but Sally gave her after the Duke's funeral at noon-these parchments involve the layout of the territory, the power structure of the kingdom, and other plans and plans that have never been revealed to the public. follow-up arrangements.

Rody understood that this was the way the Duke of Angmar paved for Sally.

At the age of seventeen, in the world that Rody was familiar with, she could only be a "high school student" like a blank sheet of paper, but Sally had become a duke guarding the kingdom's borders...holding great power and controlling the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people.

However, the young duchess was in a bad mood because of her grief. When she came back at noon, Rody tried to comfort her, but Sally threw herself into her arms and cried for a long time...

Rody was very depressed about this: he never thought of letting Akasha down, but the situation at this time was completely out of his control.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder was continuous. Rody rubbed the center of his brows, and when he turned his head, he found Akasha standing at the door, as if hesitating whether to come in.

Seeing this meek little priest,

Rody's depressed mood immediately improved a lot. While tidying up the messy desk, he looked at Akasha who walked in slowly and said, "Is your body better? If you are still tired, sleep a little longer. .”

"It's nothing serious."

Akasha replied in a low voice. Although she said so, the dark circles under her eyes and pale complexion caused by "mana overdraft" still did not improve much. Of course, there are other reasons for this, but she didn't mention it...

"Have something to say?"

Rody felt that something was wrong with her face, and asked aloud.

"It's not a big deal, just..." Akasha raised her head, "When shall we go home?"

"go home?"

This word made Rody a little stunned. The first thing he thought of was still the slightly cramped apartment in another time and space, but then he realized that Akasha was referring to "Elson City" - which can now be called "Elson City". For "home", it can only be here.

"Just wait until the matter here is dealt with. I don't know how many days it will take. The main thing is to see... er, Sally's side."

"Um."

Akasha responded lightly, then sat down on the armchair next to her with her head down, her hands twisted slightly.

Rody felt something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "What happened?"

"fine."

She shook her head, eyes downcast.

But Luo Di obviously didn't believe this sentence. When a woman says "it's okay", it usually means "something has happened" - he hurried to Akasha's side, put his arms around her shoulders and asked, "Can't Tell me? I-"

Before he finished speaking, he found a tear was sliding down Akasha's cheek.

Luo Di was most afraid of women crying, so he hurriedly asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

Akasha kept her mouth shut, and Rody was flustered by her tears. After asking for a long time, he finally got the answer——

"Yesterday...Yesterday, I saw you holding her hand, so I..." Akasha's voice was full of grievance and fear, her eyes were too timid to meet Rody's eyes, and her voice was crying : "I'm afraid that you will abandon me, and then never want me again..."

"She won't give up on you, she told me..."

"I don't know what you'll do to me, I'm afraid you'll leave when I wake up..."

Although she had the courage to confront Sally tit for tat, the reality made Akasha understand that everything would not go as she imagined.

And she who doesn't have Sally's strong confidence and desire to win... is really afraid of losing all of this.

"How can it be…"

Luo Di stood up and hugged her solemnly, "I will never leave you, don't be afraid of this matter anymore, okay?"

But regarding Sally, he didn't know how to tell Akasha for a while.

The little pastor's tense body relaxed, she reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, as if she knew what Rody was going to say later, she whispered: "You must not let her go, right?"

"I…"

But before he could answer, Akasha hugged him tightly: "I don't want to see you make painful decisions, so... I only have one request."

"Be nicer to me..."

*****

In matters of relationship, few people are "selfless": the idea of ​​having two women at the same time came to Roddy's mind, and Sally never thought of giving Roddy to another person-similarly, even if Akasha was willing to wrong herself and gave half of Roddy to the powerful duchess, but she also made that small request that Roddy obeyed for the rest of her life.

Be nicer to her.

What is "better"?

At this time, Rody was still vague about this concept, but what he knew was... In order not to let him make a choice, the little pastor made his own decision first.

After talking, Akasha, who hadn't slept well, went back to rest. And Luo Di, who was standing in the study, looked out the window with a very complicated mood.

But at this time, "complexity" is no longer "entanglement", and the emotional belonging finally has a clear direction... In other words, Roddy finally embarked on a path that is completely opposite to "a lonely life".

However, he didn't feel happy or excited, he just felt that he had a lot more burdens all of a sudden.

Trying to clear the thoughts in his mind, Rody exhaled deeply and decided to count the gains and losses of this battle.

The [Task Bar] shows that the second phase of the [Trial of the Throne of Bones] task has been completed, and the other two original "plague outbreak points" in the "Task Description" have disappeared...

This proves that he has no chance to resolve the crisis in the other two locations.

Such a fact made Rody feel a little cold in his heart, and he deeply felt the insignificance of his own power--when this kind of conspiracy between countries was involved, he had no ability to stop it at all.

What he can do now is to hand over all the information he knows to the "Rosicrucian", and let the Pope worry about the plague that happened near the royal city of Ignaz and the "Holy Temple".

Open the "Status Bar", the three-step task in the second stage has added a total of 1.708,000 "experience points", and rewarded the title of "Undead Slayer", a point of advanced talent and "Erond Added long sword" blueprint.

The experience points are enough to be called massive, but this is just the most common reward. Rody was curious about additional rewards, so he turned to the "title column" and began to check the attributes.

"Undead Slayer"

Acquired the skill "Find Weakness (Undead)"

Acquired the skill "Virus Resistance"

Title can be upgraded: kill 17/100 undead.

A title with two skills can be upgraded, which is definitely called "superior", Luo Di quickly opened the "skill bar", and carefully glanced at the effects of these skills--

"Find Weaknesses (Undead)"

Passive skill

Effect: Your physical damage has a 10% increased chance to critically hit undead.

"Virus resistance"

Passive skill

Effect: Immune to all viruses carried by undead.

Roddy used to have the "Finding Weakness" skill, but the target was "Orc" and "Beast", and it was the first time he got it for "Undead". It should be said that it is a relatively strong skill.

To put it bluntly, "virus resistance" means that when fighting the undead, you don't have to worry about the future, and you don't have to be afraid of being infected with effects such as corrosive poison, corpse poison, chronic poison, and deceleration poison.

This title has a strong effect, and the effect after the upgrade is worth looking forward to, but the use is limited, so it can only be regarded as "good" in general.

Rody closed the page and opened the "Equipment Bar"—but after searching for a long time, he didn't see where the design of "Erondgar's Long Sword" was located.

He frowned and reopened the task bar, only to find that there was an instruction to click on "Task Rewards"...

Rody clicked on the option, and found that it said the address for obtaining the design drawing——

"Beifeng Mountain Range? In Deathrattle Canyon?"

Rody raised his eyebrows -- this kind of place reminded him of several dungeons that were very popular at the time, but logically, do we need to play dungeons to get mission rewards?

Then looking down, he figured out the way from the road map: It turns out that the mission reward has given a perfect route to avoid all dangers, just follow the route it said, and you can easily get the reward, and then Just go back the same way.

What kind of rewards are still hidden in such a place?

Rody hesitated for a moment, thinking that the reward for the epic mission should be good. He searched for it and found that the attribute of the long sword could be seen from the reward page, so he opened it curiously...

Then, he gasped. ()
