For Roddy, this was the most embarrassing thing he had ever experienced.
Ever since he came to this world, Roddy had actually kept his views from 597 years ago, such as his habits of using skills, his comments on equipment, and so on. Among these, he had also misjudged Naify's age.
It was 589 years ago! How come he had never associated this with Naify's age?
At this moment, Naify was only twelve years old, or thirteen. Damn it … thirteen years old! If he told others that the girl he liked was not even fourteen years old, everyone would probably think that he was a pervert.
Before this, Roddy had planned to marry Naify in Mogra Village after defeating Elson. Now, he was very glad that he did not tell anyone about this. Otherwise, he would be labeled as a pedophile for the rest of his life!
In this era, there was no such thing as a "lolicon". Roddy was sure that if he told his mother-in-law that he wanted to marry her, she would not hesitate to skin Roddy alive.
In fact, she did intend to do that.
"Don't! I know Naify! I mean no harm — "
To show his sincerity, Roddy reached out and pressed Natha's longbow down. The wood elf could not understand Roddy's action at all. She looked at him stubbornly, but Roddy scolded her, "Put it down!"
This was the first time he was so fierce to Natha. In the past, he was very serious, but he never talked to Natha like this. Therefore, after being scolded like this, Natha did not resist anymore. She just bit her lips tightly, and her eyes were full of stubbornness and grievance.
But Roddy did not have time to explain to her. When he turned around, he saw that her hand was still pointing at him.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment. Roddy could even see the air around her fingertips being twisted.
The senior arcanist slightly squinted her eyes. Although she was at a disadvantage in the previous battle, she was confident that she could blow Roddy away now.
However, looking at Roddy who had his hands raised high and his face full of apology, she hesitated. To be honest, if Roddy had said anything else, she would not have stopped her attack. But the name "Naify" was the only thing that she could not touch.
"How do you know Naify?"
She did not put down her finger. It seemed that she was ready to attack if Roddy did not answer.
But before Roddy could answer, the sound of horse hooves suddenly made Camilla's face darken.
The scouts around her did not die after they fell off their horses. Because of their shields and strong physique, two of them had already stood up with their swords. They did not come over to help, but pointed out the direction for the troops behind them.
So the cavalry appeared on the street where Camilla was standing. Then they cooperated with the infantry and completely surrounded the place. The "Holy Shield" appeared on Roddy's body. Akasha was holding the gray magic wand and looking at the front nervously. The soldiers were holding their swords tightly, as if they were going to cut Camilla into pieces at any time.
Roddy did not want to force his mother-in-law into a life-and-death struggle. He hurriedly ordered the troops to step back and said, "The Naify I know lives in Mogra Village. She is 12 years old this year. She has red hair. She likes to take Uncle Sam's car to Green City. She likes to count the stars in the sky at night. And she is left-handed, right?"
Roddy did not know what Naify's mother did, but he obviously knew how to gain her trust in the first place. As expected, after he said these two sentences, Camilla's determined expression finally relaxed a little.
This made Roddy secretly let out a sigh of relief. He was very clear that this mother-in-law in front of him, who he did not even know the name of, definitely had the idea of "dying together" at that moment.
"Where did you meet her? When? "
"In Green City, about half a year ago. Let me introduce myself. My name is Roddy … "Roddy casually made up a lie, then pointed at Sodelor and said," This is Baron Sodelor. I am the captain of the guards of the Dukes Of Angmar. Two days ago, Sola Outpost was attacked by the undead and orcs. We suspect that the undead have entered this city, so we came here to investigate. Our troops do not have any malicious intentions, and we hope that you can relax a little … As for Naify's question, I can explain. "
Roddy almost immediately sorted out his thoughts. The words came out very quickly and contained a lot of information. It was obvious that he did not tell the truth, but it was obvious that he did not mention the key point. However, under the current situation, Camilla who was surrounded actually did not have any choice.
"Camilla." After a moment of silence, she slowly put down her arm and said her surname.
However, this did not mean that she had given up the mission of the "Holy Assembly". She looked up at Roddy and said word by word, "I only have one purpose here."
"What purpose?"
Roddy knew that this was not good. He had already seen through Camilla's character and knew that she was the type of person who would not listen to anything. If she asked for something excessive, there would be no room for negotiation.
"I will stop everyone from entering the inner city." Camilla reached out and tucked her slightly messy hair behind her ear. When she said this, there were three layers of soldiers surrounding her. This scene reminded Roddy of the words "revolutionary martyr".
What organization is she working for? Why is she so loyal and devoted?
Roddy was a little curious, but he could not agree to Camilla's request. If it was not for the fact that she was Naify's mother, Roddy would not even ask about it. However, at this time, Roddy could only explain in a calm tone, "We are here to seek revenge against the undead, but because we have not completed our investigation of the outer city, we will not enter the inner city for the time being."
The word "for the time being" made Camilla clench her fingers slightly. She understood that she was alone and had no right to say such nonsense. Roddy's concession did not mean that he would listen to her obediently.
After all, it was the first time they met, and each had a different purpose. Such a contradiction was impossible for the two stubborn people to reconcile.
"My troops will be stationed here, and I will not restrict your freedom. However, I also hope that Madam Camilla can … cooperate with me. I repeat, we have no ill intentions. "
Roddy still wanted to say something, but the sudden headache made him frown instantly.
He clenched his teeth and tried to force an explanation to Camilla, but found that she was also pressing her temples and tightly closing her eyes.
The exhaustion from a night of not sleeping, the continuous high-intensity battles, and the sudden onset of a headache immediately caused Camilla, who was already exhausted, to feel dizzy. She staggered and fell forward.
*****
At the same time, the "Holy Assembly" team that had entered the inner city did not notice anything that happened in the outer city.
Camilla made a lot of noise during the battle, but all the sounds and vibrations seemed to be filtered by the inner city walls. Everything was silent, and the spacious and gorgeous atmosphere of the city was like a graveyard, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Camilla is probably crazy."
"Maybe she's just timid? Captain Speck is just letting her off easy. "
"I don't want to have a lunatic standing behind me."
The Arcanists had strong confidence in their own strength, so when they were walking in the inner city, they would occasionally have short conversations with each other, and the content was mostly related to Camilla. However, these people seemed to have a certain prejudice against Camilla. Along the way, no one said anything good about her, and all of them spoke in a disdainful and belittling tone.
However, such a situation came to an abrupt end when Captain Speck suddenly made a hand gesture.
The team was originally walking on the complicated streets leading to the core of the inner city. The buildings on both sides were still empty, and there was not a single living person in sight … However, at this moment, everyone saw the hunchbacked figure standing in front of the team.
"Who … are you people?"
This was an old elf with slightly purple skin. His pointy ears drooped down, and his face was full of wrinkles. His pupils were blue, and he spoke in the authentic High Elf language with a special accent …
