The shape of the Blade of Purification was more like a slightly longer dagger than a short sword. Compared to the heavy and huge Blood Drinker battle axe, this weapon was obviously more suitable for one-on-one combat or assassination. It had faster attack speed, more flexible usage … and a higher "critical hit rate."
Although its attack power was not high, it was still a suitable weapon for him. Roddy was well aware of Rubens's attitude towards giving away such a thing.
The Ring of Pardon was casually worn on his middle finger, and the short sword was hanging on his waist along with its scabbard. When Roddy looked away from the interface, he found that Lucy and Quentin were not far from him, looking at him nervously. He smiled and nodded as a greeting, but he did not go over to say anything.
After all, he did not have a "good teacher" side. At this time, there were many things to do, and Roddy was not interested in educating these juniors. He stepped towards the lords who had always supported the Lucifron family and naturally started a conversation.
"Lord Duke is not feeling well, so he should rest first. However, there are some things I want to talk to you about, about the trade of wood elves' goods …"
"Elsen City is a well-preserved High Elf city. It is in the southwest of the territory …"
"If you are willing to open a trading team, the profits will naturally be much higher than staying here. In the future, it will even have a great influence in the whole kingdom."
"Of course, I also welcome Mages to study the books there. There are six libraries full of Olympiad books in the city, as well as a large number of related documents …"
"The function of the 'Time Stop Enchantment'? Let me explain briefly … "
Elsen City was an empty city. In order to have enough residents and revive the economy, the first thing that was needed was a population. Similar to the saying, "If you want to be rich, first build roads." Although it was limited, it was still more reliable in Elsen City. After all, its location was too remote, and there were many dangerous Mythical Beasts in the surrounding forests. Although it was an expansion of the kingdom's territory, without people, all of Rody's plans could only be castles in the air and could not be realized.
So at this time, what he was doing could roughly be called "attracting investment": to whet the appetite of the lords, and then to deal with things like Henry, who was good at business. Roddy's words quickly made the originally gloomy lords perk up their ears. They listened to Roddy's generous offer to the five lords. They did not say it, but in fact, they were envious …
But there was a price to pay for choosing the wrong side. At this time, at this time, they did not expect Roddy to treat them seriously. But unexpectedly, Roddy soon announced that "Elsa Village" would gradually be opened to everyone, and at the same time, Elsen City would also welcome all willing merchants who were willing to sponsor and trade.
After a dozen blows, they must remember to give a few sweet dates. Roddy knew that he could not oppress these nobles forever. Although he did not agree with the noble values of "interests first", it did not mean that he would blindly hate them … Naturally, Roddy was happy to see them use their greed to help him.
As Roddy released the news one by one, the nobles who felt like they were on a roller coaster finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the banquet was like a nightmare, it did not throw them all into the abyss. The final result was not "everyone was happy," but it could be said that the sharpest contradiction between the nobles and Angmar was completely resolved.
Roddy got a large number of potential business partners in the future, Duke was no longer targeted by many enemies, and the nobles also had a new goal. For the originally extremely unstable Eiffta, all of this was enough.
The dance music was still playing, but Roddy had no need to stay here. He left the venue and went straight to Duke's mansion. After asking a few words with Steward John, he walked into Angmar's study.
Although weak, Duke had been waiting for Roddy. After countless incidents, he had completely regarded Roddy as an indispensable "pillar" of the territory. And every time he saw this young descendant, he would always sigh inwardly about his son who had gone down the wrong path.
Not to mention his ability, if Francis had half of Roddy's awareness, he would not have become a traitor!
Roddy did not know what was on Duke's mind. After saluting, he said casually, "The problem is basically solved. Bishop Noir was very enthusiastic. He dragged me to talk about a lot of things. It seems that the 'Holy Cathedral' cares a lot about the losses of the undead?"
"No, they care about you. You don't know, other than Noir, there are already three or four bishops who want to pull you into their diocese. They even promised you all kinds of benefits …"
"What is this? In their eyes, I can't do anything other than killing people, right? "
Roddy did not expect such a thing. He was very surprised.
"To put it bluntly, they want you to kill people. The Rose Cross is currently carrying out a large-scale attack on the heretics in the Briar Forest. After all the dioceses have sent out their men, they naturally want to compete for the limelight … But looking at the time, the attack on the 'Viper Cross' should be coming to an end. "
Duke's tone was very casual, but Roddy's expression froze. This was the third time he heard about the war between sects. Only now did he realize that the 'Rose Cross's' encirclement this time was not as small as he had imagined.
"Wait … How many people did the church send out this time? Five hundred? "
"Far more than that. From the beginning to the end, it seems like they have invested nearly ten thousand people. It is said that more than two thousand heretics have been executed. Now they are looking for a chance to fight …" As Angmar was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Roddy's expression was not right. He slightly frowned and asked, "What, is there something wrong?"
"It's not that there's something wrong. There's definitely something wrong."
The words that Natha had said to him echoed in his ears. 'Viper Staff', 'Bishop Goethe', 'digging a pit', etc. It immediately made Roddy realize that the heretics … seemed to be brewing a huge conspiracy!
This was definitely not a made-up game. The current actions of the 'Rose Cross' was no different from walking towards the enemy's trap.
After thinking about this, Roddy immediately told the news that he had heard and said in a low voice, "This matter must be immediately reported to the 'Holy Cathedral' and have them change their plans."
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the study room suddenly froze. Dukes Of Angmar's face revealed an expression of disbelief. He took a deep breath and mumbled with a trembling voice, "What you said … Is it true?"
It was not that Angmar did not believe Roddy's words. His current question seemed to be the last bit of hope in his heart. But looking at Roddy's expression, he understood … The situation had exceeded his imagination.
"I will go inform Bishop Noir now."
Roddy did not waste any more words. He stood up and was about to leave the room. But after taking two steps, he was stopped by Angmar. When he turned around, Roddy immediately felt that Duke's condition was not right. He quickly rushed over to support him with one hand and pulled the wooden chair over with the other. Angmar's face was deathly pale. His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something. Without thinking too much, Roddy moved his ear closer …
"Sally, Sally participated in this operation. She is now in Briar Forest …"
"Crack!"
The armrest of the chair that Roddy was holding on to with his right hand was forcefully broken. He only felt a 'weng' sound in his head, as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning …
"It takes at least four days for the messenger pigeon to deliver the news to the Holy Cathedral. But this kind of news, from the moment they receive it to the moment they react, it will take at least two weeks …"
At this point, the old man's voice was already trembling uncontrollably. "But Rubens told me that they will carry out the final battle within a week …"
Roddy did not know why Sally did not stay in the 'Holy Cathedral' and instead went to fight the heretics. He only knew that Sally was about to fall into the enemy's trap.
The sudden panic in his heart caused Roddy's eyes to be a little dazed. But after a few deep breaths, he regained his senses. His originally unfocused gaze instantly became unusually sharp. He stood up and shouted towards the door, "John! Come in! "
He gently helped Angmar to the chair, and immediately noticed that Duke's face was ashen due to the fear. His lips were purple, and it was obvious that his heart was in great pain. When the butler heard his shout, he rushed in. But he heard Roddy loudly ordering, "Go outside and call Bishop Noir in. Duke needs divine healing!"
After pausing for a second, Roddy added, "Tell the bishop that I have something to discuss with him. Don't mention Duke's condition!"
Angmar waved his hand to signal John to listen to Roddy. The latter hurriedly nodded and rushed out of the study. After that, Roddy stretched out his hand to caress Duke's back. After organizing his words, he immediately said, "There is still a week before the final battle. It is still unclear whether the enemy's trap is real or not. We still have a chance …"
To Duke, these words were completely 'psychological comfort'. But Roddy did not just say nonsense. He immediately said, "I now have the 'priest' status recognized by the Church. When I reach the 'Holy Cathedral', I can immediately look for the Bishop and influence their decision as soon as possible …"
Before he finished speaking, Bishop Noir had already rushed in with the butler leading the way. After casting the divine healing spell, Roddy looked at Angmar who had slightly recovered. He only said, "I will leave now." Without any further explanation, he turned around and rushed out.
The weak Angmar watched as Roddy disappeared from his sight. There was no hope in his heart at all. Even though Roddy had created miracles time and time again, it was a total of 1,700 kilometers from here to the 'Holy Cathedral' of the Rose Cross Church. It was even more than 1,500 kilometers to the 'Briar Forest'. The roads in between were extremely complicated and difficult to traverse. Even if he rode a fast horse, it would still take more than half a month to reach there.
