Seeing that Sally seemed to want to say something, Roddy also felt that he could ask her about the Lucifron Family. After thinking about it, he threw out a tempting condition, "Do you want to talk about your experience? Since you are curious … I'll tell you how much you want to know. It's a deal. How about it? "
Sally was a little surprised that Roddy would suddenly make such a request. After thinking about it, she nodded happily and said, "Okay, then I'll talk first."
"The Lucifron Family … How do I put it? The family has a large territory. The lords and even the royal family are afraid of my father's power. The territory is from …"
Most of the things that the girl said were already in Roddy's mind. At this time, he just got confirmation. However, when Sally mentioned his father, Roddy still pricked up his ears. "My brother was full of confidence in inheriting the title, but my father seemed to have noticed something. After he fell ill a few years ago, he began to alienate us. Until now, he didn't even mention anything about the inheritance of the title to the outside world. Maybe it was because of this that Francis finally wanted to kill me …"
Speaking of this, she was a little depressed, but she was obviously more curious about Roddy's life. She hugged her knees and asked softly, "Then … it's your turn, Captain Roddy."
"Me? Ha … "With a rather helpless smile, Roddy pondered how to describe his life. After thinking for a moment, he replied," How old do you think I am? "
"You? Nineteen? Twenty? Twenty-two at most? " Sally took a serious look at Roddy. Because of various battles before, she had not carefully observed the young man in front of her. At this time, she stared at him carefully, but she felt that she seemed to have forgotten to be reserved. She quickly looked away, but her heart was beating faster for no reason.
Speaking of which, this guy is quite handsome …
"Well, to be honest, I'm thirty-two this year." Roddy spread his hands. "My appearance was fixed at nineteen because of a certain sorcerer's curse. In fact, I participated in the war and adventured in this world for seven years. In the end, I wanted to settle down, so I found this job. I didn't expect that I couldn't even settle down as a scout …"
His words were full of lament. Roddy's random words really stunned Sally for a moment, causing the Duke's daughter's mouth to form an "O" shape for a long time.
"What? You don't believe me? "
Roddy raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a compassionate expression. "Actually, this is the first time I've said this. It's normal if you don't believe me …"
"Luo …" Roddy, that - "Sally hesitated for a while and made a silly request," The wizard who cursed you... Can you let him curse me too? I don't want to grow old … "
Roddy's expression suddenly became very cramped. He wanted to slap himself in his heart. How could he forget the temptation of such a reason to women? Now, it's hard to explain …
Fortunately, this kind of thing could not be proved. Roddy talked left and right and pretended to talk about his "adventure experience". In fact, it was the game experience, but the geography and culture were similar to what Sally had read in the books. She believed that there was such a curse that could keep one's appearance forever …
However, Roddy gradually changed the topic back to Sally and stopped the girl from discussing the "eternal youth" problem.
"Didn't His Excellency the Duke stop you and Francis?"
Sally opened her mouth slightly and hesitated. It was reasonable to say that this kind of thing involving the family's privacy should not be mentioned casually. But obviously, she believed that Roddy could be trusted at this time, so she whispered, "Father has always been indifferent to the fight between us. Over the years … he smiled less and less. He locked himself in the study all day long. I don't know what he was thinking. He was indifferent to me and Francis, as if he had never had children. This feeling was very lonely and not very good. "
Roddy seemed to think of something. He raised his hand and threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire. Under the orange light, he suddenly asked, "When did your father start to change his character? He used to care about your feelings, right? "
Sally frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Finally, she answered, "About five years ago. Father used to take me and Francis to inspect the villages in the territory every summer. But since five years ago, he suddenly stopped caring about these things. Do you know the reason? Have you heard of something like this before? "
Roddy did not seem to hear the latter part of Sally's words. He was only recalling the events of the sixth year after the launch of "Earthbreaker" in his mind. When the Kingdom of Karen almost completely fell apart, some documents pointed the finger at the undead Tasman Kingdom, which caused an uproar among the players. At that time, a lot of evidence showed that the collapse of the Kingdom of Karen was not only due to the invasion of the orcs, but also due to the extremely insidious backstabbing of the undead, which led to the collapse of the kingdom's most powerful lords.
What were the undead best at? If it was used to do something, the first things that came to mind were alchemy potions and assassins.
Then … was it possible that before the orcs decided to invade the Kingdom of Karen, the undead had already planned to do it … or even had already done it?
Thinking of Sally's words, Roddy quickly thought of a notorious poison — "Soul Stripping Potion." This potion was colorless, odorless, and extremely difficult to detect. Long-term consumption would cause the user to become indifferent and eventually lose their memory. They would even lose the most basic ability to think and become a walking corpse.
The first time this potion was discovered in history, it was in the possession of a great lord who was a staunch supporter of the rebel army. The lord was originally very supportive of the rebel army, but his personality suddenly became indifferent. In the end, he did not even care about his children. Later, he suddenly closed his door and did not even let his servants enter his house. In the end, he starved to death in his bed.
"Have you heard of the undead?"
Roddy's way of changing the topic made Sally a little uncomfortable, but she still followed Roddy's train of thought. She nodded and replied, "I've read about it in the books. The Tasman Kingdom, which is silent in the southwest of the kingdom and full of the undead … It seems that the kingdom has never been in contact with them for hundreds of years. Rumor has it that it is because they have sealed their only road to the outside world?"
"That's right. There is a country full of the living dead there."
Roddy's eyes suddenly became a little deep. In the 595th year of "Earth Splitting," the Tasman Kingdom of the Undead finally tore off its previous disguise and launched an invasion on the Kingdom of Karen. Together with the orcs, they divided up a large piece of land … The kingdom's territory almost completely disappeared from the map.
None of those sons of b * tches were good people. Roddy slightly clenched his fists. In his memory, the undead were far more terrifying than the orcs. The orcs were the epitome of madness and barbarism. As long as you were stronger than them, these guys would obediently go back to grazing. But the undead … were far from that.
The crackling sound of the bonfire made the forest seem even quieter. After resting for a whole day, Roddy knew that he needed to continue his journey. The night in the Silent Forest was actually much safer than the day, especially in "Stello Creek." This was because the swarms of bees and poisonous mosquitoes that required the most time to deal with would not appear at night. This was a completely different pattern from other forests, so Roddy still had at least one day to traverse the entire map.
But now, he had to face the final boss of this dungeon. Only by killing it could he continue his journey.
"Stello Creek" was not a dungeon for killing monsters. Its plot itself was related to the indigenous "Wood Elves" who lived in the forest. These elves had a village in the Silent Forest, which was the main gathering and distribution center for all the players who had come here to explore. The original plot mostly originated from the Wood Elves discovering that the water source of the creek was poisonous at certain times, so the village chief issued a mission for the players to investigate. The final mission of the dungeon was naturally to kill the boss that polluted the creek, a level 10 Scorpion King named "Cerkris" that could summon a large number of poisonous scorpions.
Although Roddy did not come here to complete the mission and gain EXP, if he did not fight this boss, he would have to take a detour that would take at least three days, and all the dangers along the way would be far more terrifying than the level 10 Scorpion King.
"If after returning to Hollier, your father still doesn't care about what Francis has done … I think you must be prepared for the next round of assassination." Roddy carried the horn bow on his back and sorted out the remaining dozen arrows. He picked up a shovel made of wood and stones and was about to extinguish the bonfire when he suddenly felt Sally suddenly tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Roddy looked back in confusion. When their eyes met, he felt that Sally's gaze was a little strange.
"If … I'm saying if … I encounter something like this again, will you … come and help me?"
Sally was not a naive girl. She had a clearer understanding of the political situation and the current situation than Rody. At that moment, the words that came out of her mouth carried a hint of expectation and even a hint of ambiguity. However, perhaps in the bottom of her heart, the hint of a test was more obvious.
After all, this was a question from the daughter of Duke. At this moment, any normal man would not hesitate to make all kinds of promises in exchange for the heart of a beauty. Sally was already mentally prepared for Roddy to agree, but she did not expect his answer to still surprise her.
"Me? I'm not as powerful as you think. When we reach Hollier, you can only rely on yourself. I don't have that much time to accompany you in your fight with Francis … Moreover, I don't have that ability right now. "
Roddy folded the remaining vines and replied in a very calm tone.
If Roddy was just a player with a casual attitude, after being reborn, he might think of picking up beauties, spending some money, and living a so-called happy life. But obviously, as a reborn with hatred, what Roddy wanted to do was to prevent all the tragedies in his memory from happening …
