"You can see the purple light?"
"Yes … Yes."
Naifei was shocked. She and Rody were not familiar with each other. At that moment, she wanted to answer but she did not dare to say anything. She could only purse her lips and nod. She blinked her eyes and no longer spoke.
"Don't be so surprised!" Sally rolled her eyes at Roddy and turned to Naifei, "Don't be afraid of him. He's not a gentleman at all. But … I remember when I first met you, you said that my die was glowing?"
"Yes, Sister Sally. You're glowing too."
Naifei did not seem to realize that her words were strange. Instead, Rody, who was listening to her, frowned. He thought for a moment and interrupted, "That … Camilla, what is the color of Sally's light?"
The little girl seemed to be afraid of Roddy. She moved closer to Sally and hesitated, "It's pure white."
But soon she looked at Sally's shoulder and added, "That was a few months ago. Now it's a little different. It's white … Huh?"
She rubbed her eyes and looked confused, "I don't know how to describe this color … It's like the color of the flowers in Grimm City …"
Naifei bit her lips as she thought about the adjectives. Rody, on the other hand, only needed to use the keywords' Green City 'and' Flower Garden 'to confirm what she was talking about. He asked, "Is it violet?"
"Yes! It's the color of violet. "
Naifei was surprised by Roddy's knowledge and reaction. She slightly opened her mouth to express her surprise.
But Roddy did not respond. Instead, he was analyzing the reason. Players could see the light emitted by the runes in the item bar of "Rune Embedding". The runes for "Holy Priest" were white and "Paladin" were green. Other classes also had different colors of light, which represented the type of their power. Magic equipment with different attributes also had similar effects.
"So … Camilla, what color do you think this is?"
Roddy took out the [Ice Crystal Spike].
"Blue. It looks like the frozen ice in the lake."
"What about this?"
He raised his hand and shook the [Ring of Pardon].
"Golden, just like the sun."
Naifei squinted her eyes as she spoke, as if she was really pierced by the light.
Roddy didn't say anything after a few questions. He was more certain of his judgment. He looked down at the 'Viper's Kiss' in his hand and fell into deep thought. Sally also realized that Naifei wasn't lying. She thought for a moment and whispered: "Roddy, could it be that Naifei can see the aura emitted from these equipment and people?"
"Elemental power. That's right."
Roddy sighed slightly. He remembered his experience with Naifei in the Mogra Village. Naifei did not tell Roddy that she had such an ability after she grew up. Perhaps she did not have much contact with it, or she already knew what it meant, so she chose to "hide" it?
Others might not know and might even think that this talent was of little value, but in fact, it was a powerful ability that was enough to make all Spell Casters envious and jealous!
"Camilla, don't ever tell anyone that you have such an ability, okay?"
Roddy suddenly said this solemnly. The little loli didn't react in time. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask why, but then she looked at Sally as if she was asking for help. Obviously, she still had some instinctive resistance to this fierce "brother" on the battlefield.
"Can you tell me the specific reason?"
Sally patted Naifei's clenched hand to make her relax.
"In the field of runes, enchantments, magic circles, and alchemy potions that involve 'elements', her ability can identify high-grade materials or make extremely subtle adjustments to certain runes and magic circles. With her help, a lot of things can be done with half the effort, and even a lot of time can be saved. And those guys … are not necessarily reasonable people. "
These words were not alarmist words. Sally immediately realized the importance of this. She quickly whispered to Naifei: "Then listen to him, okay?"
"Okay, I'll remember." Naifei no longer hid behind Sally. She slightly poked her head out and looked at Roddy. She was a little curious and sighed: "Brother Roddy knows a lot, just like mother."
Roddy wanted to say something, but after hearing her sigh, his eyes twitched a little. He forced a smile and turned his eyes to the bonfire. He lowered his head and roasted another rabbit meat …
Naify's words inevitably reminded him of Lady Camilla who was far away in Elsen, and then he thought of the "distant" relationship between him and Naify …
"Are you a hunter? Do you want to hunt here? "
This was the first sentence that Naifei said to him. Roddy remembered that when she said that, she used a straw rope to tie up her fiery red hair. Her eyes were a little cunning and curious.
And his answer at that time was: "Hello, do you have any task for me here?"
Then they started a story and finally became friends … After a period of time, their friendship gradually developed in another direction. The friendship that could be called "love" did not blossom in the end. But those memories had disappeared with Roddy's rebirth.
But when Roddy met Naifei again, he found that his situation was completely different from before. In Naifei's eyes, perhaps he was just a cold-blooded guy with a face full of stubble, a murderous, cold-blooded guy …
She was willing to talk to him because of Sally …
He used to scoff at soap operas at 8 o 'clock. He used to laugh at people who talked about their love problems on the Internet as hypocritical dogs. He used to think that there was no difference between "falling in love" and "fighting in a dungeon". But at this time, "things remain the same, but people have changed" happened to him. For the first time, he felt powerless and confused.
He never hesitated to shoot an arrow at his enemy, but he was trapped in the maze of love and completely lost because he did not know how to fall in love.
Naifei was quite curious about the "erudition" that Roddy showed just now. But when Roddy ignored her, her curiosity gradually disappeared. She finally looked away. At this time, Roddy raised his head and looked at Naifei.
But their eyes did not meet because of the difference of half a second.
Roddy slowly exhaled, the loneliness on his face was not concealed.
When he first came to this world, he was more than 1,700 kilometers away from Naifei. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a long distance that they could never cross in their lifetime. But Roddy was always full of motivation. He never stopped fighting for the "reunion" with Naifei.
At this moment, he was only 1.3 meters away from Naifei. But sadly, he found that he and Naifei were actually strangers.
*****
On the 10th of May, the remnants of the "Rose Cross Army" finally got rid of the enemy's pursuit.
Regardless of whether they were in the forest or on the plains, or following the reinforcements of the Bogdo parish, their pursuers seemed to have disappeared at the same time.
In everyone's eyes, the "Rose-Cross" was the only loser in this battle. Including the soldiers who died after being wounded, the "Rose-Cross" had lost more than five thousand people, including more than a hundred bishops and priests …
This was equivalent to destroying half of the foundation of the next generation of the church.
All of the soldiers retreated with low morale, silently bearing the bitter consequences of their defeat in the war. However, at the same time, the victorious Viper Cross did not seem to be cheering or jumping for joy at all. The faces of the bishops were all taut, as though they were facing a great enemy.
They had all received a direct order from the Pope: "Find the murderer who killed Cardinal Goethe, and retrieve the divine scepter!"
With just this order, more than 6,000 soldiers began to frantically search the vicinity of the Briar Forest.
Goethe's death had caused the position of 'Cardinal Bishop' to become vacant. Moreover, because he had previously been secretly chosen as the next Pope, the entire 'Viper Cross' Church had experienced a huge and far-reaching … power earthquake.
It was also from this moment onwards that the "Viper Cross" embarked on a path completely different from what Roddy remembered, and completely messed up the already confusing history …
*****
11th of May, the Holy Cathedral.
There was no longer any suspense about the outcome of the war. The unprecedented defeat had pinned Mograine firmly on the pillar of shame for the Church. No matter how many excuses the once powerful bishop found to absolve himself of the blame, his feeble excuses seemed insignificant in the face of the more than five thousand dead Church soldiers.
The morning meeting had already ended. When Mograine walked out of the tallest Sistine Cathedral in the city, he still could not forget the Pope's aged and solemn expression …
His steps were a little unsteady, but there was no priest by his side to support him. Mograine's haggard face was incomparably pale. In just three days, he seemed to have aged 30 years, as if all his vitality had disappeared along with the news reported in the letters.
Walking alone in the middle of the pure white corridor, Mograine slowly stopped in his tracks.
"Heh … Are you here to watch me make a fool of myself? I have to congratulate you. The Pope has already brought forward your ascension ceremony to tomorrow. This is the first time in the history of the church. Tsk tsk. "
"My command has also been completely stripped away. I guess it will all be handed over to you tomorrow. I did not expect that I would lose in this battle that I was almost certain to win …"
He reached out and patted Rubens on the shoulder, like an elder guiding a junior, but the coldness in his eyes was not concealed.
"Attacking political enemies is not the same as commanding a battle." Rubens frowned and replied, "Mograine, you focus too much on the power struggle."
"Yes, yes, yes. Because you are the one who succeeded now, you have the right to educate me, don't you?"
Mograine shook his head lightly. "Heh … Do you think you will get a good ending just because you are wholeheartedly working for the church?"
He brushed past Rubens, and his faint voice echoed in the deep corridor. "One day, you will become the kind of person you hate now, and … you will not be able to free yourself."
