It had only been a few days since his reincarnation. Roddy had always judged everything based on his own memories. He had basically ignored the memories of "Roddy". So, when he paid attention to certain things that seemed to be natural, Roddy realized that the consequences of small differences might be unexpected.
Lucifron's son and daughter of old Duke?
Roddy knew Duke Francis. Although he was still a "Count" in the words of these soldiers, in Roddy's memory, he was a hated traitor.
When the orcs invaded, this bastard did not organize an effective resistance. Instead, he betrayed his country and directly led to the fall of Hollier!
Francis's unjust actions eventually led to him being captured and hanged by the rebels. When Francis' body was hung in front of the square, it even attracted the cheers of countless people. It should be noted that the execution of a noble, especially a lord conferred by the kingdom, would never be recognized by the nobles. However, when Duke Francis was executed, none of the parties in the empire, who seemed to be united on the surface but were actually divided on the inside, condemned it. Because Viscount Francis actually colluded with the orcs and betrayed the people of his territory, just for the sake of his own power!
Roddy's memory suddenly became clear. He remembered the conversations of the NPCs around him when he was working hard to level up his secondary profession in Hollier.
At that time, the civilians in the streets and alleys were complaining that Duke Francis collected too much taxes. They often said that they missed the old Duke. At that time, many people analyzed that Duke Francis seemed to have done a lot of despicable things in order to get his father's title.
What did he do?
Roddy narrowed his eyes and thought about it. He turned the breakthrough point to the soldier who mentioned "Duke's daughter". He vaguely remembered that before the fall of Hollier, there was a leather-making master who would always talk about how beautiful and pure the old Duke's daughter was. He would also assign some tasks to the slums to distribute some bread and food. Because this leather-making master had received gifts from the old Duke's daughter in the slums, he had always been grateful for her for many years.
Where did she go?
Thinking of this, Roddy suddenly felt nervous. The fog of memory gradually dispersed as he gradually woke up. Roddy suddenly remembered the words of the leather-making master, "Speaking of which, it's really unfortunate … Miss Sally died in the orcs' attack on Fenkes Village two and a half years ago …"
Suddenly, Roddy felt a flash of lightning in his mind. His whole body shivered!
The clues gradually pieced together and the words in his memory surfaced. Rody could not help but combine the contents of the letter and come up with a very likely inference...
Could it be that the orcs' next action was related to the death of the old Duke's daughter?
Could it be that they were going to attack Fenkes Village?
As soon as this inference appeared, many fragments of memory flashed in his mind again: "Francis stole the Duke's throne by any means possible", "The old Duke's death was suspicious", "The nobles of the kingdom had secretly colluded with the orcs", and so on. These information made him more and more certain of his hypothesis. Judging from Francis's despicable character, this traitor would definitely eliminate anyone who stood in his way before he really took power, even if that person was his own sister!
But what if he was stopped? Would Hollier be spared from falling?
This thought popped up in his mind uncontrollably, and it made Roddy frown again.
If he could, he would never let go of any opportunity to change the history. If all this was right, then what Roddy needed to do was not difficult. He just needed to stop the old Duke's daughter from going to Fenkes Village … As for the rest …
"Roddy?"
Seeing that Roddy did not move for a long time, the soldier who had answered before asked in a low voice. Roddy immediately came back to his senses, and his expression instantly became very serious. He turned around and ordered, "Tell everyone to gather immediately. We have a new mission."
"Yes. Yes! "
Although he did not understand why Roddy gave this order, Roddy's invisible prestige made him immediately follow the order and run into the village.
Roddy did not stay idle. He thought for a while and ran around the village. Finally, he got two pieces of relatively clean parchment paper from an old man who used to work as a clerk in the manor. He also borrowed a quill and some sticky ink to write two letters. One was signed by Second Lieutenant Sodin, and the other was signed by Anderson, the butler of the manor in Norland Village.
Next, he narrowed his eyes, diluted the ink, dipped the quill in the quill, and scribbled the words "Fenkes Village" in the Orc language on the letter.
When Roddy decided to take action, he had already sorted out his thoughts. First, he had to confirm whether Miss Sally was really going to Fenkes Village. If she was, then the probability of this incident matching the disaster in Roddy's memory was more than 90%. Otherwise, these forged letters would give him a good excuse.
The role of a Ranger included the specialty of "intelligence". Therefore, Roddy was very familiar with the official language, so it was very easy for him to forge these letters.
As for the Fenkes Village, Roddy had never been there before his rebirth. In his memory, when the game server was launched, the village was in ruins. The NPCs mentioned that the village was destroyed by the Orcs' attack, and all that was left was the ruins of a big fire. However, Roddy's memory told him that Fenkes Village was less than 30 kilometers away from Norland Village.
If that was the case, Roddy still had a chance to stop this from happening.
After everything was ready, the rest of the team, except for the injured, had all arrived. Except for the two scouts who had gone to inform the other villages and the injured, there were nine people in the team, including Roddy. Although they looked a little tired, everyone was ready to fight at any time.
"The Orcs may attack Fenkes Village tomorrow," said Roddy. He did not have time to talk nonsense. He waved the letter in his hand and said, "This is a letter from Second Lieutenant Sodin. It proves that we are legally patrolling and notifying the other villages. Is there a problem? "
Of course, Ruger knew that the letter in his hand was fake. However, he also knew that Rody would not ask this group of people to go to the Finks Village for no reason. So, he cooperated and replied, "No problem, sir."
The veteran was now completely convinced by Roddy, and he even had a blind trust in him.
Carter and the rest of the soldiers also followed Ruge and answered. Rody did not say anything else. He immediately led the group of soldiers to their horses and rushed towards Finks Village. At that time, it was already late in the evening and the sky was dark.
"Really? Can you change history? "
Roddy looked at the horizon in the distance with a blank expression, but his heart was not calm.
...
With Hollier as the center, the territory of the Lucifron family was called Efta. The territory was large and the resources were abundant. Duke Duke's words were almost as powerful as the king in the southeast.
Francis? Lucifron was the eldest son of the old Duke Angmar. He was 20 years old in the 588th year of the Elon calendar, and he had the title of Count.
According to Roddy's standard for players, his basic class was Noble Descendant. In terms of attributes, the difference between Lucifron and Soldier was that Lucifron's Intelligence was higher. The most suitable class for Lucifron was Elemental Sorcerer, which was a mysterious class that only a few people were qualified for. Now, Lucifron had reached the threshold of the next class, which was Noble Descendant Level 10. According to some information, he now had the title of Elemental Sorcerer, which represented the real advanced class.
If this was true, then Lucifron was like a mountain in front of Roddy, a Level 2 soldier.
In other people's eyes, Francis was a standard heir. He was well-behaved and knowledgeable. In balls, banquets, and private parties in the city, this young Count could always be seen talking and laughing with other people. Although he was not mature, he had an aura of superiority. At such a young age, he had been improving rapidly under the guidance of his personal magic teacher. He even wore the bronze Frost Diamond emblem on his chest, which represented Elemental Sorcerer. No one doubted that he would be a perfect and qualified heir to the Duke, and they believed that he could make the Lucifron family shine even brighter.
In contrast, Francis's sister, Sally, did not seem to be as outstanding as her brother. However, when people talked about this girl, they would smile from the bottom of their hearts, because her kindness and benevolence were a well-known fact in the whole territory. The identity of the daughter of the Duke usually meant that a lot of other nobles would come to ask about marriage before she reached adulthood. However, this was not the case for the Lucifron family. The reason was that this girl, who often distributed bread to the beggars in the slums, had decided to join the Rose Cross Church when she reached adulthood. All the members of the church were forbidden to marry for the rest of their lives.
The weather in the middle of April was suitable for traveling. According to the request of his father, Duke Lucifron, Francis and Sally had to patrol around the villages on the edge of the territory every year at this time.
In the words of his father, Duke Lucifron, ten years ago, "Nobles should not forget their true responsibility, which is not to enjoy the happiness of wealth alone, but to provide a better life for the people under their rule."
Although many of the villages on the edge of the territory were enfeoffed to lords like Kirk, the lords welcomed the children of Duke Lucifron to patrol around the border. After all, the lords had to show respect to the Dukes Of Angmar.
In the past, old Duke Lucifron would go with his children. However, in the past five years, Angmar Lucifron did not go with them. Lucifron didn't travel with them anymore, which led to Lord Kirk's attitude towards Francis and Sally gradually becoming colder.
Regarding this, the two young men did not show any signs of impatience.
Today was the seventeenth day of Sally and Francis's journey. They had to patrol around more than twenty villages and towns on the edge of the territory. According to the plan, it would take about three months. During the patrol, they would eat and live in the poor villages. Apart from two maids and sixteen guards, the two children of nobles did not have any extravagance.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the old nobles had more resources than the nouveau riche. No matter how much wealth the family had, the children would still have to experience the hardships that their ancestors had suffered when they laid the foundation for the family. At this time, in Vic Village, Francis, who was wearing simple clothes, was talking to his sister.
