Roddy was startled by Akasha's actions. He didn't understand what was going on. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, asking, "What's wrong?"
His hands were cold from sitting for a long time. Akasha's white and soft palm made Roddy feel very comfortable. But before Akasha could answer, Natha quickly turned her head and said in a low voice, "I'm going to rest first."
She hurriedly walked out and disappeared into the corridor outside. Roddy didn't notice that Natha's hand, which was hidden under the cloak, was actually holding a blanket …
This Wood Elf knew that the temperature in Roddy's room wasn't high, so after investigating, she thought about it and brought a blanket with her. But after seeing Akasha, she finally chose to give up.
Natha's "defeat" made Akasha feel a little proud, but she also knew that she couldn't be too presumptuous. She tried to maintain her composure and pretended to be indifferent, "You get sick easily like this. I'll go pour you a cup of hot tea."
After saying that, she stood up and very naturally let go of Roddy's big hand, as if she was just holding the chair.
"No need, I'm going to rest in a while. You should go back and sleep early."
Roddy was a little confused at this time. He felt that something was not right, but the news that Natha brought was obviously more shocking. But soon he remembered something and called out to Akasha who was about to leave, "Wait."
Akasha turned her head and saw that Roddy had actually taken a strange-looking staff from the weapon rack at the side.
"See if you can use this thing. Maybe it will be helpful to you."
This staff that originally belonged to the Necromancer Simon was considered a "trophy". In Roddy's eyes, its attributes were actually not bad.
Mentu's Summon
Two-handed Staff
Exclusive: Necromancer Level 5
129-149 Damage
+ 69 Intelligence
+ 23 Spirit
Equip: When using summoning spells, the effect increases by 1 level.
Use: Casts Bone Shield Spell Level 2 (3/4)
The reason why he said 'maybe' was because it was written 'Exclusive to Necromancers'. According to the original rules of the game, priests could only get attribute bonuses but couldn't use the skills on it.
But just as Akasha took the staff, the elemental fluctuations that flashed in that instant made Roddy frown. His gaze became dignified, and he said, "Do you feel anything special?"
"I … I don't know because I've never used a staff before."
Most of the mages in this era used small "wands". "Wands" were extremely expensive and powerful equipment. Akasha was born at the bottom of the Viper Cross and never had much money on her, so she had never used such "high-end goods". However, the feeling of having a connection with the staff made her feel a little strange. "I can feel its power fusing with me. It seems like … it can release skills?"
"If you like it, take it back and study it. Rest early."
Roddy originally wanted to ask something, but in the end, he didn't ask it.
Akasha wanted to say thank you, but she felt that it would make their relationship seem distant. Finally, she held the staff with both hands and bowed her head, "I like it very much …"
As for whether she liked the staff or something else, she naturally didn't say it out loud. She just left the office reluctantly, not forgetting to remind Roddy to keep warm.
But Roddy didn't have the mood to appreciate this little priest's concern. He looked at the words "Angel of Death" above Akasha's head, and the words "Exclusive Necromancer" flashed in his mind. He muttered to himself, "What the hell is this title …"
To be able to let a priest directly use the "Necromancer" profession's item, this strange thing was definitely related to the "title". But even if Roddy and Akasha became "close friends" and even had a "follower" relationship, he still couldn't find out the specific effect of such a title.
Things that he couldn't figure out could only be left for later. Roddy sat back in his chair, tried to clear his mind, and then thought about the information brought by Natha.
Opening the [Map Bar], he quickly confirmed that Belorme was leading the team in the direction of Elson!
Thinking of Ansadin's research, Roddy immediately confirmed that Belorme was going for the "Charged Gemstone"!
Perhaps Augustine also understood the importance of this thing, and had sent a team to study it. From this point of view, Belorme must be extremely important to Elson.
"If that's the case … the sentry is safe."
The threat of the undead and the Orcs was temporarily gone, and Roddy finally felt the pressure on his body was a lot less. However, the [Judgment of the Bone Throne] mission was still not completed. Obviously, this battle was not "stopping Belorme" at all.
But after this battle, they had gained a lot of experience points, and the strength of the entire team had also increased by a level.
In addition to the "Summoning of the Door Diagram", the battle axe "Endless Wrath" that originally belonged to Zoro was the loot that troubled Roddy the most …
He would never have thought that the legendary master known as the "King of Ten Thousand Axes" in history would actually exchange weapons with him at this time. And this battle axe called "Blooddrinker" was obviously the "legendary axe" that was talked about by countless players on the forum.
It was said to be "legendary" because this axe had accompanied Zoro through many battles, and had been reforged four or five times due to damage and upgrades. It had completely witnessed the entire process of the Orcs' invasion of the kingdom …
And now, it was quietly placed in front of Roddy.
[Blooddrinker]
[Epic Two-Handed Axe]
Advanced Level: 2
528-724 Damage
Equip: There is a certain chance to trigger "Bloodlust" special effect, attack speed increased by 45%, movement speed increased by 25%.
Equip: There is a certain chance to trigger "Self-Healing" special effect, restore 5% HP.
Equip: There is a certain chance to trigger "Wild Force" special effect, increase strength by 120 points, lasts for 5 seconds.
"An ancient battle axe blessed by generations of witch doctors."
Iron ore was scarce in the Orc Kingdom, and the forging technology was not good. There were very few pure metal weapons, and this old battle axe was obviously one of the best.
Compared to the "Cranium Crusher", it did not come with a high strength attribute, but it had a very high damage limit, and a series of witchcraft. Roddy had no idea what the "certain chance" was, but he was sure that in a chaotic battle, the effect of this axe was definitely stronger than the "Cranium Crusher"!
It was just that it was too heavy, and Roddy was not used to it. But he really did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse to exchange weapons with the other party. What if the Orc Kingdom had a "King of Ten Thousand Hammers" in the future?
Roddy shook his head, feeling that such an idea was a little ridiculous. In the end, he stopped thinking about it, washed up hastily, and went straight to bed.
*****
2nd of January.
The shocking battle that broke out at Sora Outpost was still unknown. In such a season, it was often difficult for messengers to deliver letters to the border in time, and the success rate of sending letters by pigeon was also very low. So, the Dukes Of Angmar still did not know about Sora Outpost, and he was in a very passive situation.
He sent people to Mount Carse to investigate, and indeed found a buried campsite, which indirectly proved that "Roddy's army was completely wiped out" was true.
But the other nobles of Eiferta were not interested in the old Duke. They raised their wine glasses, laughed, and celebrated the arrival of the new year, and continued to laugh at Roddy, who "died before he could achieve anything". They were all beneficiaries of the decline of the Duke, so such a thing was naturally worth celebrating.
He was trying everything he could to ask the "Holy Cathedral" for the help of the Holy Knights to defend the border, but because of the long journey, he had not received a reply from the "Holy Cathedral" even after a few letters had been sent.
It was also on this day that Sally, who had been bewildered for many days, finally received a handwritten letter from her father.
Even though Viceroy Rubens had personally confirmed the news, Sally still had a glimmer of hope in her heart … How could a smart person like Roddy die because of an avalanche? Thinking back to the experience of traveling through the "Forest of Silence" with him, Sally felt that his knowledge was much richer than that of the veteran mages and mages.
With such a mind, no matter how careless he was, he would not die in a natural disaster like the "avalanche" that could be avoided by humans …
However, the letter from the Dukes Of Angmar told her the "truth": the avalanche was thought to have been created, and Roddy's death was completely due to the enemy's framing.
The clear handwriting on the paper could not be changed. Sally's hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and the pain in her heart was unprecedentedly intense. When all hope disappeared, the bone-deep despair was almost unbearable …
She could not imagine how she would be able to "study" here peacefully for the next one and a half years.
She could survive because of Roddy.
She could come to the "Holy Cathedral" because of Roddy.
And almost everything she had now was related to Roddy. His figure was deeply engraved in her heart. No matter whether that guy was suffering from some "curse" of eternal beauty, or whether he was an emotional idiot, she decided to go back and confess to him completely …
One and a half years, only one and a half years.
But she did not expect that the silent farewell outside the city gates of Hollier would become an "eternal farewell".
Her mind was muddled. She, who had never been late in the past, was not in the mood to listen to today's lecture on magic. She sat there silently, sobbing silently.
Sally had been independent since she was young, and her heart was even more proud than ordinary people. But at this moment, the disappointment made her feel so helpless for the first time.
She just sat in front of the window and watched the sun rise and set. Only when the surroundings returned to darkness did she finally stand up slowly …
The "Rose Cross" Sect had not been peaceful recently. Although it was winter, their old enemy, the "Viper Cross", had been active recently. Therefore, the cardinals were recently discussing whether or not to carry out a certain degree of attack on the heretics in the southern part of the kingdom. And yesterday, the decision was finally passed.
Governor Rubens had accepted the task and had already begun to prepare candidates for the operation in spring.
It was late at night. At this moment, Governor Rubens was writing mobilization letters to the bishops of the various dioceses. He did not expect that Sally would look for him at this time.
It was impossible for an ordinary priest to meet the governor directly, but Sally was Rubens's "favorite student", so she had a small privilege. But when Rubens saw Sally, he quickly noticed that the condition of the daughter of Duke was … very bad.
"I've already replied to Benjamin's letter. Regarding that matter … the Church has already made a decision. No matter who the enemy is, I will not let them go." Rubens had a very good impression of Rody. It could even be said that he admired Rody. After all, Rubens was able to rise to a higher position in the Church because of Rody's attacks on the undead. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to 'avenge' Rody's death.
But Sally did not even change her expression. She only bowed and thanked him. Her hoarse voice made Rubens's heart ache.
"Go back and rest early. If you are not feeling well, I will inform the people in the lecture hall."
He thought that Sally was here to ask for leave, but then he realized that he had completely guessed her intentions wrong.
"Lord Governor, I am here … to make a request. I know it may be a little too much, but I hope you can agree. "
