Roddy did not expect to be in the limelight in front of these two old foxes, and it was purely a coincidence that something like this had happened. But now, it seemed that he had unexpectedly won their favor …
But these old guys were really good with their words, and Roddy knew that he could not ask for more. He could only laugh dryly and say, "It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding."
Naturally, the lunch could not continue. Rubens also understood this. He immediately said a few words to Lord Duke about how to deal with the undead, and then politely greeted Roddy, turned around, and hurried back to the monastery. The appearance of the undead in the Ducal Palace was also a big deal for Rubens. The Tasman Kingdom's behavior definitely indicated something unknown, and he had to let the "Holy Cathedral" know of this important information as soon as possible.
Roddy, who stayed in the dining hall, immediately asked Duke to thoroughly investigate everyone in the Ducal Palace, and to use his ring to screen for the existence of other undead.
The Dukes Of Angmar agreed without any hesitation, and immediately sent someone to gather all the members in the Ducal Palace. With this, the Ducal Palace immediately became lively. Nearly a hundred servants, coachmen, butlers, forest guards, and so on were arranged to go to the mansion in an orderly manner …
But under such circumstances, Sally, who had run out early, was still in a state of "not knowing anything" …
In the garden behind the mansion, Sally was fiercely grabbing a leaf in her hand, constantly saying things like "bastard", "blockhead", and "idiot" …
Sixteen years of age was still too young. Although Sally's growth over the past few months was extremely obvious, her "growth" was ultimately only reflected in her ability to deal with ordinary things. When it came to emotions, she was still a blank piece of paper. She was simply unable to control her emotions as freely as those old fellows who had been tempered by the passage of time.
"You said that in front of so many people. You must have already thought of how to get rid of me …"
In the slightly cold weather, it was not a good idea to wear a long dress and expose her collarbone. Sally pouted and complained a little, but she felt a little cold. Instead of leaving the back garden, she stubbornly stood there. Although she knew that there was a saying, "Being angry is punishing yourself with other people's mistakes", she would rather suffer this kind of punishment than go back and face Roddy …
How disappointing!
Sally suddenly realized that this seemed to be the only time Roddy "took the initiative" to express his feelings for her. But in the end … he wanted her to go as far and as long as possible.
Did Roddy really hate her?
She recalled that during their escape, Rody had once mentioned a woman that he could not forget. As for 'that woman's' information, Sally only knew that the woman had red hair and nothing else.
Did she have to fight for status with a woman that she could not even see? It was unknown whether that woman was still alive or not! Every time Roddy mentioned her, he would be sad. Perhaps something had happened to him, or he had been hurt by her.
Sally shook her head. Because of the cold weather, she shivered and hugged her shoulders with her small hands, looking delicate and pitiful.
Her mind was full of all kinds of "imaginary enemies" … But after thinking about it for a few seconds, she fiercely stomped her feet and secretly spat. It had always been a group of knights throwing gloves at each other and fighting for a woman. When had the dignified daughter of Duke racked her brains to chase after a scout captain?
"This idiot, doesn't she know how to come out and find me?"
Sally pouted angrily. In the end, she decided to return to her bedroom. However, she had only taken a few steps when she saw a large group of servants rushing over from the back garden. Their voices traveled into her ears through the chilly wind.
"It seems to be the undead!"
"Master said to check everyone's identity —"
"How? Like last time? "
"I don't know, but I heard that it has something to do with the scout captain …"
A large group of people rushed over. Sally raised her eyebrows and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. The words "revenant" and "scout captain" aroused an irrepressible curiosity in her heart. She walked along the path, and when she met a servant girl along the way, she stopped her and asked, "What happened?"
"Miss Sally — I don't know either. Just now, Lord Duke ordered us to go over. I just heard that they are going to do some kind of check."
There were many servants in such a large mansion. The matter that had just happened a few minutes ago had not reached the point where everyone knew, so this servant girl was as confused as Sally.
"If that's the case … It's okay, then you can go first."
Sally smiled, but because of the cold, she once again tightened her arms around her shoulders. The doubt between her eyebrows deepened. After taking a few more steps, she happened to see the Knight of Wellington who was striding back from outside — the latter had a serious expression on his face. His body originally still carried some murderous aura, but when he saw Sally, this aura immediately disappeared completely.
"Uncle Wellington."
Sally greeted him politely. She did not know that the knight in front of her had just tied up the undead Myr in the room. At this time, she saw the purplish red stains on his originally clean dress and suddenly asked, "This is … blood stains?"
Looking down at his body, Wellington did not deny it and nodded, "It is blood stains. Something happened in the dining room just now."
"What happened?"
Sally and Knight Wellington prepared to return to the mansion. She slightly lifted the corner of her dress as she walked forward. At this time, her face was full of confusion. She could not figure out how a meal could cause blood stains.
"That maid Myr is an undead. Just now, Captain Roddy saw through her disguise and subdued her. Oh, it was the second after you walked out of the dining room."
Wellington usually looked like an emotionless robot, but in fact, his mind was much more flexible than Titus'. He could see that Sally was sad because of what Roddy said. At this time, he naturally tried his best to improve Roddy's image — at least … to make her happier.
Sure enough, Sally's originally gloomy face suddenly lifted up after hearing this. Her little face turned pale as she asked, "Un … undead? Myr? Isn't she — "
"It's the one who has been standing behind you. I think … Captain Roddy was afraid that the undead would suddenly hurt you, so he deliberately said those words."
Sally's footsteps instantly faltered, and she looked around with a panicked expression, at a complete loss. It was impossible for her to say that she wasn't afraid. After all, no one would be able to remain calm if they knew that the maid who had stayed in the Duke's residence for ten years and saw her almost every day was an undead. Furthermore, Sally recalled that … the dress she was wearing today seemed to have been tied by Myr …
In other words, Rody had once again saved her life?
The face of the guy who was scolded by her as a "bastard" appeared in her mind. She immediately asked anxiously, "Then — Captain Roddy … is he not hurt?"
"No, Captain Roddy is very decisive."
Wellington shook his head. Seeing that Sally was so concerned, he couldn't help but feel that Roddy was really lucky. He chuckled and said, "The Governor has already left. Sir Duke is chatting with him in the guest hall. Do you want to go over now?"
"I — I'll go change my clothes. Don't wait for me."
After a moment of hesitation, Sally made up a random excuse and hurriedly ran away. Even after she changed out of her gorgeous dress, her little heart was still thumping wildly. Her initial anger and resentment had also turned into sweet happiness.
So that guy was deliberately trying to anger me …
Finally understanding that Roddy was doing this for her own good, Sally's heart knot was basically solved. However, she still decided to apologize to this fellow in person. After all, she could not shed so many tears for nothing in front of the Governor and her father. However, when she walked to the side of the living room, she stopped in her tracks when she heard a voice coming from inside.
"Speaking of which, I really have to praise you for being quick-witted to think of a way to let Sally escape in that kind of situation without batting an eyelid."
The voice of the Dukes Of Angmar was very easygoing, even with a hint of a smile.
"I … ahem, actually, there was some misunderstanding with Miss Sally yesterday, so … she seems to have some prejudice against me today." Roddy's voice revealed a little helplessness. "I don't know if it will work if I deliberately provoke her. I didn't think too much at that time. I just felt that even if she got angry and came over to beat me up, it would be good if she could stay away from that guy …"
This idiot …
The corner of Sally's mouth slightly curled up.
"That guy can't be killed. It's best to get all the information from her. I still have a letter here. It was found after I killed Alpha, but …"
Then, Roddy talked about the "undead". Speaking of this, Sally remembered that it was this guy who saved her father. In this way, two generations of the Lucifron Family were completely saved by him …
If it weren't for him, perhaps this family would have been controlled by Francis.
"I have a rough idea about the undead, but now I have a question …" After asking a lot of questions, the Dukes Of Angmar suddenly became slightly serious. "Francis and the Orcs, what is going on?"
When such a question was asked, Sally, who was eavesdropping at the side, felt her heart sink.
Roddy thought for a moment. In fact, he already had many alternative answers to such questions, but when he thought of what Francis said in Cobb Forest, he felt that the seriousness of this matter had reached the point where he had to "honestly" talk about it.
"Actually … before this, I brought the scouts from Norland Village to the Orc Kingdom."
When such words came out, even the two knights who had experienced hundreds of battles changed their expressions. The Dukes Of Angmar straightened his back with a solemn expression, but did not ask whether it was true or not. Instead, he said in a low voice, "You killed … a lot of Orcs?"
"In total, we killed more than four hundred people, including more than a hundred Wolf Riders and a witch doctor." Roddy was concise and to the point. He was not interested in showing off to this lord what he had done. "The point is not how many Orcs we killed, but the witch doctor. It was he who contacted Francis and secretly sent a team of Wolf Riders to intercept and kill Sally."
"You killed the witch doctor? What tribe? "
The Dukes Of Angmar's tone suddenly became a little excited. Although Roddy was a little surprised, he still answered seriously, "It's the Hammer of Rohar."
