Early in the morning, the sound of horse hooves while the scouts were carrying out their routine training woke Sally up from her deep sleep.
Opening her eyes, Sally saw a gorgeous curtain that she hadn't seen for a long time. Her body sunk deep into the soft bed. She sat up in a daze. The headache after the hangover made her not notice that the pajamas on her shoulders had fallen down along her smooth skin. Her fair skin looked a little dazzling in the sunshine from the balcony.
Rubbing her messy platinum hair, Sally frowned slightly. Her consciousness was still a little confused. After a few minutes, memories gradually emerged in her mind …
The speech in the square, the assassination, killing Francis, her father's recovery, the lunch, the dinner party, and the agreement between Roddy and herself.
One by one, images appeared in her mind. Sally finally remembered that she seemed to have talked with Roddy for a long time last night, and then drank a lot of wine, and then …
And then?
She suddenly widened her eyes and found that the only scene she could remember was that she had drunk too much and directly fell into … Roddy's arms?!
What happened after that?
Sally suddenly shivered and immediately looked down at her body. She found that her body was almost naked under the pajamas!
This … could it be that Roddy took advantage of her when she was unconscious …
Her heart began to pound and her cheeks suddenly turned red. Sally, who had just turned 16, lacked "physiological knowledge". All she could think of at this time was the rumor that some beastly nobles "succeeded" in getting women drunk. These things scared her so much that she even forgot Roddy's "zero EQ". She only felt that she might have … lost her virginity!
She hurriedly lifted the quilt and looked at her naked body. Her expression changed several times, and finally, she whispered with a voice that sounded like she was about to cry, "It seems that … there are blood stains …"
Then she turned over and rummaged on the bed regardless of her naked appearance.
Just when Sally was filled with apprehension, Julie, who was just about to wake her up, stood at the door in a daze. She was extremely puzzled by the scene in front of her. She looked at Sally's round butt that was swaying left and right, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Sally? What are you looking for? "
"Ah!"
Boom!
Sally's mind was already in a mess. When she suddenly heard someone talking behind her, she suddenly remembered that she wasn't wearing any underwear … So she suddenly turned around and tried to cover her butt with the quilt, but because she was at the edge of the bed, she lost her footing and rolled off the bed …
Julie hurriedly ran around the bed and helplessly helped the little girl up. The latter's face was as red as an apple as she burrowed into the quilt. Then, she asked in an urgent but low voice, "I … How did I … come back last night?"
"Come back?"
Julie thought for a moment and replied, "Miss, you drank a lot of wine at the banquet and passed out in the end. If it wasn't for Captain Roddy supporting you, I'm afraid you would've knocked your head on the table."
"Ah?"
Sally's head suddenly buzzed. It really was Roddy who sent me back, then he wouldn't …
"But then the captain also … fainted." Speaking of this, Julie also wanted to laugh. Because it was the first time she saw a man who couldn't drink as much as Sally, "Then Sir Duke asked me to bring you back … After taking a bath, you came to sleep by yourself."
Hearing this, the big stone in Sally's heart finally fell to the ground. She took a big breath and then burst out laughing. It turned out that Roddy was also worse than her in some aspects! That little bit of wine was probably not enough for Uncle Titus to rinse his mouth, but this idiot directly fainted …
"Phew …"
She patted her chest and suddenly felt that the original panic in her heart was gradually replaced by some inexplicable "excitement". Then, Sally found that she had a faint trace of expectation — when would the next time she would see him make a fool of himself?
"What an idiot!"
She scolded softly, but her tone was relaxed and a little coquettish. After getting up, Sally stretched her waist in front of the window. When she was about to wash up, she happened to see Roddy walking along the mansion path into the distance …
If only I could see him every day.
Just now, she was still scolding Roddy, but now such a thought popped up out of nowhere. Even Sally herself was shocked by this idea — but then she quickly thought of the word "marriage", and suddenly her face became a little helpless. She twisted her fingers and counted the days left in Hollier City, secretly begging for time to pass more slowly …
Compared with Sally who was full of unreliable thoughts, Roddy who was striding forward at this time could be said to be in a completely different extreme.
Looking down at the parchment, he was in a bad mood.
Last night, he was drunk by Sally because he couldn't hold his liquor well. Although this kind of thing was a little "embarrassing", it was after all, an embarrassing thing after a meal. Naturally, Roddy would not be depressed because of this kind of thing … The reason why he was in a bad mood was because he had just interrogated Myr in the early hours of the morning.
"Enter the city on the 26th … Assassinate Angmar …"
Rody frowned as he looked at the information recorded on the parchment. At the same time, he raised his hand and drew a line in the air beside him. To others, it looked like he was giving an order, but they did not know that he was flipping through the 'Mission Bar'.
[Stop Ansadin's Conspiracy 3/3]
This was the mission that had just been activated today. Roddy remembered that when he first killed Alpha, there was no such word displayed here. After uncovering the undead spy Myr, the word "2/3" appeared. When the interrogation was completed, it became "3/3", which meant that he had completed the last step of this series of missions.
At this time, the last part of the mission bar was written: "Completion condition: ensure the survival of Angmar Lucifron Duke."
Because it was a series of missions, such a mission bar was marked with the difficulty of completing the conditions. At this time, the mission bar that Roddy saw was bright red, which meant that the difficulty of the mission for Roddy was "Very Difficult".
Obviously, this meant that the level of the assassin who came to assassinate the Dukes Of Angmar was definitely not low!
As the saying goes, "Blessings never come in pairs, but misfortunes never come alone." Not only did the undead want to assassinate Lucifron, when Roddy learned from Myr how to decipher the secret code, the letter on Alpha's body gave him even more terrible news.
The "Soul Extraction Potion" that paralyzed the Dukes Of Angmar for several years was not originally used to kill, but to … control!
Once the effect of this potion was achieved, as long as a piece of "Grey Crystal" made by Ansadin was placed on the body of the user at the right time, it could completely turn the user into an obedient "puppet", retaining all the previous strength, characteristics, and appearance!
This was equivalent to creating a flawless puppet, and there was almost no risk of being seen through.
Although Roddy knew that the undead were not easy to deal with, he did not expect that this race, which only participated in the continental disputes three or four years later, had actually made such a "plot" against the Kingdom of Karen nearly ten years ago!
Who knew how many more nobles these undead had laid their hands on? If three or four great lords of the kingdom became the lackeys of the undead, it would be strange if the kingdom did not perish!
Thinking of this, Roddy frowned and once again looked at the translated letter in his hand.
"The effect of the potion has been fading recently. I hope this is just the last resistance of the Angmar. I will report the follow-up information to you in time. As for Kiger Town, all the preliminary preparations will be completed in winter … "
This was another thing that Alpha mentioned at the end of the letter — what kind of preparation was "preliminary preparations"?
Roddy was very upset. The information in the letter was too vague, and he had no way to find any additional clues. He could not interrogate Myr to find out who Alpha's contact was. Obviously, "Lord Ansadin" did not directly connect the information network in order to conceal himself, but adopted the safest single-line mode …
Roddy felt as if he had touched something, but he could only vaguely see the most inconspicuous corner of the undead's huge conspiracy.
"Kiger Town … is quite close to the Silent Forest. I can only look for clues when the time comes."
Thinking of these things, Roddy hurried to the edge of the horse field and looked at the scouts in the distance who had almost completed their training. He greeted Titus and Wellington who were watching the training with great interest. His gaze shifted and saw the smiling Dukes Of Angmar looking at him with his hands behind his back.
"Lord Duke."
He gave a military salute and stepped forward. Just as he was about to say something about the undead, he saw Angmar looking into the distance with his hands behind his back and said abruptly, "A baron title, enough equipment and a sum of money, and let these soldiers follow you. You can choose any territory you want. What do you think?"
"Hmm?"
Roddy was thinking about how to come up with the next "anti-assassination" plan and how to profit from it. For a moment, he did not understand what Duke was talking about. After being stunned for a few seconds, he realized that this was all a "reward" for him from Duke. His expression was stunned for a moment, but he coughed twice and replied, "Lord Duke, those are all secondary. There are some things I need to report to you immediately, and … it's best to contact the 'Rose Cross' side."
"Rose Cross?"
Angmar raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he thought that Roddy was not interested in the conditions he offered. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said with dissatisfaction, "What? Rubens is trying to rope you into the church? I don't think that's a wise idea … "
Roddy did not know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly waved the parchment in his hand and then began to talk about the plan of the undead in a low voice.
As he spoke, the originally calm expression of the Dukes Of Angmar gradually became serious. In the end, there was even a hint of anger that could not be concealed. He waved his hand to signal Titus and Wellington to come over and said something in a low voice. His palm, which had already loosened a little, suddenly lifted up, and with a resolute and decisive tone, he chopped down in the void —
