Sally was slightly anxious. She increasingly felt that Roddy was in such a predicament because of her willful and mischievous behavior. However, no matter how she tried to salvage the situation, Roddy was still "You guys talk, I'll eat my food". After staying like this for a long time, Sally finally softened and decided to chat with this guy to save some face. However, when she raised her head, she found that Roddy was looking straight at her …
Such a direct stare made Sally's cheeks a little red. However, she immediately noticed that Roddy's expression suddenly became a little strange. His gaze also shifted slightly to the side. Following Roddy's gaze, Sally found that he was looking at her maid, Myr, who was standing behind her.
Myr also noticed Roddy's gaze and asked with some doubt, "Captain Roddy, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, can you help me …" Roddy smiled as he picked up the wine glass in his hand and swirled it, "… pour some wine?"
"Okay."
Myr nodded and immediately walked to Roddy's side. When he poured the wine, he found that the scout captain's gaze was always on him …
What, what does this mean?
Not only Myr, even Sally was a little puzzled as to why Roddy was like this. Why was he staring at someone else's maid for no reason? Myr couldn't be a bad person. Could it be that he … likes this type of woman?
A girl's imagination was always out of this world, not to mention their ability to get jealous. At this time, although Sally didn't really believe that Roddy would have a cramp in his brain to like his own ordinary maid, such a thought still made her heart sour …
Of course, as a native of this world, Sally would never know what Roddy was worried about.
In fact, a few minutes ago, Rody was bored to death thinking about the 'Witcher's' advancement mission. Later on, he could not think of anything. Then, he suddenly thought of comparing the two knights, Titus and Wellington, to see who was stronger. So, he secretly opened the 'Surrounding Characters Status Bar', wanting to see whose level was higher.
However, because of this reason, he immediately felt that someone in this room … was not quite right.
All the maids' names, including Butler John's name, in Roddy's eyes, were harmless "green". Only the maid behind Sally, whose basic level was almost the same as Roddy's, was shown as yellow.
The "Surrounding Characters Status Bar" couldn't show whether a stranger was a friend or foe, so although he was vigilant, he couldn't directly ask Myr's identity. What if she was just a female bodyguard protecting Sally in secret?
However, the cautious Roddy still felt that this situation wasn't quite right, especially after the appearance of an "undead spy" like Alpha in the Ducal Palace. He wasn't naive enough to think that there was nothing fishy about this place. So when the maid named "Myr" poured wine beside him, he suddenly interrupted Bishop Rubens's discussion about the "relationship between believers and churches" and directly asked, "By the way, have you heard of the undead in Tasman?"
When this question came out, everyone was stunned, including Myr, who had just poured wine for Roddy. The maid's heart skipped a beat, but because she was used to wearing a wooden expression, she didn't show any extra expression. She just slowly retreated behind Sally without a change in expression …
"Tasman? There hasn't been any news from there for a long time. Captain Roddy, do you have anything new to say? "
The Superintendent, who had been interrupted, frowned at Roddy. He now had a lot of opinions about this inconspicuous but impolite scout captain, so his words were vaguely sarcastic.
But the Dukes Of Angmar raised his eyebrows slightly, vaguely thinking of something. Without batting an eyelid, he said, "The Tasman Kingdom has existed for more than a thousand years. Although they remain silent most of the time, I remember that they have had a few exchanges with the Kingdom of Karen, and they have always maintained a friendly attitude. If I remember correctly, the last time there was news of them was 22 years ago. "
Roddy and Duke looked at each other. Although they had never had much interaction, they had an indescribable "tacit understanding" at that moment. Angmar's words gave him a chance to continue, so Roddy immediately said, "It's like this. Some time ago, I heard a name and a story about an undead from a bard. It seems to be called … Ansadin or something … The story is about the undead trying to destroy the entire continent. I've always wondered if the Tasman Kingdom would do that."
As Roddy spoke, he glanced at Myr, who was standing behind Sally, intentionally or unintentionally. His "Acute Environment" combat stance immediately confirmed a certain possibility. But before Roddy could say anything else, Rubens's cold snort froze the atmosphere at the dining table.
"This is utter nonsense!"
The Viceroy waved his hand, obviously disdainful of Roddy's remarks. "Can you believe the words of a bard? Can you believe a story that comes from hearsay? Captain Roddy, do you think this is very interesting? "
This was a merciless rebuttal. Although his tone was still calm, the imposing aura of a superior still silenced the dining table instantly.
Roddy rubbed his eyebrows and did not respond. The Dukes Of Angmar looked puzzled. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Rubens. Like the two knights, Sally looked left and right in confusion, unable to understand what was going on.
At this time, the dessert was served, which meant that the luncheon was almost over. Rubens was not interested in continuing to harp on Roddy. Instead, he spoke of the other purpose of today's visit.
"Forget it, let's talk about something else. Before we arrived at Hollier, Bishop Benjamin kept mentioning in his letters that Sister Sally was extremely talented in the cultivation of divine arts. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have also confirmed this fact."
Seeing that everyone at the table except for Roddy had turned to look at him, he continued, "After this speech, I am also preparing to return to the 'Holy Cathedral'. So I hope that I can bring Sister Sally back with me and participate in the 'Holy Cathedral Training' that will last for about two years."
"This is a screening that the 'Holy Cathedral' conducts every five years. I myself only have one place in this plan, so I hope that Sir Duke can fulfill my wish. Consider it as my gratitude to the Lucifron Family."
As soon as Rubens's voice fell, the dining hall suddenly became silent.
The Dukes Of Angmar narrowed his eyes, quickly thinking about the hidden meaning behind Rubens's words. Sally frowned, still not understanding what this' training 'meant.
But soon, she remembered something that she had heard a long time ago. Every five years, the 'Rose Cross' clergy and above would select some extremely talented young people and bring them to the 'Holy Cathedral' for two years or more of training … In the past, these people were known as' geniuses'. After entering the 'Holy Cathedral' for training, not only would their strength skyrocket, even their status would rise accordingly. Those overly young bishops and diocesan bishops were basically such people.
And now, Rubens told Sally that she had such an opportunity and qualification!
Her heart was first filled with joy, but then it suddenly trembled …
For two years.
When she thought of this time limit, Sally suddenly realized what this opportunity meant. If she left with the Dean, then she would not be able to see Roddy for the next two years!
Two years!
Sally suddenly felt that her breathing had suddenly become difficult. Although she used to be sad and tearful because of the stories of the 'Princess and the Knight' mentioned by the bards, when such a thing really happened to her, the huge feeling of helplessness immediately pressed down on her like a mountain …
Her eyes were instantly filled with confusion, and a lot of messy thoughts kept popping up in her mind: Should I go or not? How should I tell Roddy? Will he wait for me? Could it be that he had already left after I came back? Or …
If such a matter was taken away, Sally would definitely be able to think clearly and thoroughly about it. But at this moment, because she was thinking about Roddy, the so-called 'balancing the pros and cons' was immediately and completely ignored in front of her perceptual thinking …
She opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment. But before Sally could answer the Dean, Roddy's words very abruptly and ruthlessly sounded in her ears.
"This is a good opportunity! It would be even better if you stay for a few more years. It's best if you stay there and don't come back! "
Stay … for a few more years? Stay there … and don't come back?
Sally stood there in a daze, her mind buzzing. She could not believe what Roddy said at all. Does he not want to see me at all? Does he want me to leave and never come back?
H-h-how can he do this?!
Does he hate me that much?!
Once a girl's thoughts were stuck in a dead end, it was absolutely impossible to pull her back. Sally recalled Roddy's behavior when she confessed, and the sourness in her heart immediately surged. Her nose turned sour, and her tears almost fell.
"I … I'm not feeling well …"
Sally covered her mouth and looked at Roddy for a good three to four seconds. Crystal clear tears glistened in her eyes. Then, she suddenly turned around and ran out of the dining hall while sobbing …
Such a sudden change stunned Rubens. He immediately blamed the 'culprit' on Roddy, who was talking nonsense. He turned to the Scout Captain angrily and reprimanded, "Captain Roddy, what do you mean by that?"
The Superintendent Bishop had been in a high position for a long time. When he rebuked Rody in such a manner, it was indeed imposing. However, Rody did not care about such a question at all. He stood up and raised his arms in front of him.
This posture was like a hooligan who was ready to fight at the slightest disagreement. The Dean's eyes twitched. He thought to himself that this young man was really too arrogant. He actually wanted to fight at the slightest disagreement?
Seeing Roddy's reaction, Rubens immediately got up and prepared to deal with it. He had already started chanting the prayer of the Divine Incantation to attack, but halfway through the process, he discovered a problem.
