Relatively speaking, Roddy didn't have too many emotions in his mind. At this time, all his attention was on dyeing Sally's hair. Because the dye was easy to fix, he was very careful to dye her hair strand by strand with his fingers, for fear of rubbing Sally's cheeks, so at this time, he had no time to think about what Sally was thinking.
After a moment, Sally, who felt a little dull, began to find a topic.
"I didn't know that hair could be dyed."
"You should know now."
"Will it always be like this?"
"Just wash it a few more times."
"… Why are you like this …"
"Well — what? How is it? "
"Nothing …"
Sally pouted slightly. She felt that the guy in front of her sometimes was like a block of wood. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly asked, "Roddy, what color do you like?"
Roddy's movements paused slightly.
"… Red."
Unconsciously, Roddy had let down his guard against this little girl who he had no contact with before. It seemed that because of the dangerous environment and lack of sleep, he had gradually forgotten this little girl's original extraordinary mind and means, and only regarded her as an ordinary girl who only knew how to agree and nod.
After this unconscious answer, Sally was silent for a few seconds, but she asked a question that Roddy couldn't think of —
"Her hair … is red, right?"
She.
Roddy's fingers trembled nervously, but he quickly calmed down.
Who is she? Roddy knew very well that since his rebirth, the shadow of "her" always flashed in front of him, which made him sad, but also made him feel lucky.
"Yes, it's red, a bit like a bonfire at night, very warm."
This was the first time that Roddy made a specific description of the unknown "her" in front of Sally. The meticulous Sally looked at Roddy's somewhat gloomy eyes, as if her heart was inexplicably stabbed.
Roddy didn't continue to talk about that woman, but raised his hand and said, "That's good, let's set off after the hair naturally dries. Now put on this clothes, I'll turn around, I won't look."
After saying that, the atmosphere was no longer as awkward as it was a few days ago. Sally put on her clothes silently, but found that she trusted Roddy so much that she wouldn't feel embarrassed even if he turned his back on her. Was this … shameless? Or …
She shook her head and chased the flustered emotions out of her mind. However, she had to admit that whenever Roddy was in her field of vision, even if it was just his back, she would always feel an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
However, after picking up the clothes, she frowned. "This … looks like a man's clothes?"
With his back facing him, Roddy coughed twice and replied, "It's a man's clothes … There's a strip of cloth there. It's best to wrap it around your chest so that it's not so obvious. You know, that, ahem, I also did it for … "
"Shut … shut up!"
Sally's face blushed again. It was better if Roddy didn't say it. After all, the fact that she had a "big chest" would make a girl a little embarrassed. She scolded him in her heart again. She just found him pleasing to the eye, but now her mind was filled with the desire to kick him a few times …
This guy was so stubborn. How could she make him suffer?
Sally thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and had an idea.
She tried to calm her emotions, wrapped her chest as tightly as possible with the strip of cloth, and then put on the whole set of clothes. She adjusted her expression, thought about the plan she had just come up with, and said with the corner of her mouth slightly raised, "I'm done."
Roddy turned around, and what appeared in front of him was no longer the oval-faced girl with long platinum hair, but a "tomboy" with black hair tied up and a straight posture.
With this set of clothes, Sally imperceptibly had a "heroic spirit". However, Sally wanted to disguise herself as a man that others couldn't see through, so Roddy began to make some adjustments for her according to his previous experience of disguising — slightly padding her shoulders with leather, and smearing a kind of brown oil on her cheeks, making her originally white skin slightly darker. Roddy, who paid attention to details, even let Sally smear it on her hands, feet, and neck to prevent any flaws. Then he also used a special gel made from animal fat to simulate a scar on Sally's cheek.
This scar destroyed the tranquil temperament of her oval-faced face, and made the originally gentle eyebrows suddenly have a bit of a murderous look.
Finally, Roddy stood in front of her, reached out his hand to pull up the hood of the clothes, and gently covered Sally's dyed black hair, and nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, she really looked a bit like a mercenary.
For such a "work", the technical geek Roddy couldn't help but feel a little proud. Obviously, in his eyes, Sally was not a girl at all. It seemed that there was not much difference between her and those that had just been painted, and she belonged to the category of "art".
Roddy looked around her a few times, muttering "just a little short" and so on. When he felt that it was about time, he wanted to say "get ready to go", but he found that Sally was staring at him without blinking.
The two of them looked at each other.
Sally had a plan in her heart, and her eyes were a little curious and tentative. At this time, she did not avoid Roddy's eyes at all. Although under various disguises, she was completely no longer like a girl, but at this time, her sudden appearance of this "affectionate" gaze made Roddy shiver unexpectedly!
"Just like this … is it okay?"
Sally deliberately took a step forward, and her voice suddenly became very gentle. With this step, their faces were less than 30 centimeters apart, and it looked like a distance that only lovers would have.
Roddy seemed to be under a paralysis spell. He swallowed his saliva, and his expression was slightly distorted. In his heart, he was thinking about what the problem was.
This is not fucking right, I just changed her appearance, not some kind of mental control … Is she schizophrenic? What the hell does this look mean? Why is it like a Chiung Yao drama?
Although he thought so in his heart, Roddy, after all, had never really looked at a woman so "affectionately". This emotional idiot was a little confused. His brain seemed to be flushed by the toilet, and all the thoughts were flushed away …
When he suddenly woke up and realized that his body's reaction was not quite right, he suddenly looked away, took a few steps back, and took a deep breath.
No, no, no … Fuck, there is definitely no problem with my sexual orientation … Why didn't I think about it when she wore a dress? Why do I still have this strange feeling after dressing up as a man? That can't be right … I'm not gay, what the hell is going on …
Is this girl deliberately messing with me?
Roddy adjusted his mood for a long time, and suddenly thought of this possibility. He suddenly looked up and wanted to say something, but found that Sally was still staring at him seriously — He immediately lost, muttered "Let's go", and turned to walk forward gloomily.
Behind him, Sally couldn't help but smile, because she found that her attempt had actually succeeded!
To deal with this guy who didn't know how to talk to a woman, as long as she took the initiative to stand in front of him and pretend to be "affectionate", the other party would "collapse without a fight" — Sally found that this bastard usually seemed to have a screw loose, but when he really faced her at a close distance, he actually … was a little "afraid".
As for the reason? Sally didn't think too much, she just couldn't help laughing proudly in her heart — "Who asked you to bully me like that before? From now on, just wait to be defeated!"
Sally walked with light steps, and her mood seemed to be happier than ever.
…
The speed at which Roddy passed through the Forest of Silent Words was a legend to the adventurers in Eiffta's territory, but no matter how fast he went, he was actually taking a detour. At this moment, going through Gigg Town was a race against time, because there was a rugged stone road outside the town, even horses couldn't pass through. The fastest way was to go through the town directly. If he took a detour, the time it would take was not enough for Roddy to return to Hollier City before Francis.
Even though he was confident in his ability to disguise himself, he was still a little worried. As a ranger, he knew very well that even if she changed her skin color, hair color, and even added a scar, Sally's iconic oval face and temperament would not change too much in such a short period of time.
If it was just a simple knight of Fort Compton, it was basically impossible for him to recognize Sally, but Roddy, who always paid attention to details, dared not let his guard down … If he met Francis in person, he was afraid that even if he drew ten more scars on Sally's face, it would be useless.
Sally's body odor, walking posture, voice, tone, and even any of her movements could let people who were familiar with her know who she was. Roddy would never underestimate Francis, who had enough scheming and brains. After all, this young Duke was only twenty years old, and in Roddy's memory, he had indeed become the Duke of Eiffta's territory. In three years, he had withstood the pressure of countless lords in the entire kingdom, and almost succeeded in a counterattack!
Although Francis was still young, Roddy would not underestimate his brain and ability because of that.
So at this moment, walking on the streets of Gigg Town, Roddy looked unusually calm, but in fact, he was carefully sifting through all the suspicious candidates. Following behind him, Sally held a straw in her mouth at Roddy's request, trying to pretend to be indifferent.
As a middle-level town on the border, Gigg Town belonged to Viscount Tranka, who could be counted as a powerful lord in Duke Lucifron's territory. Objectively speaking, the owner of Norland Village and Fenkes Village was Lord Kirk, and Lord Kirk's superior was this Viscount Tranka.
So in name, this Viscount's status was quite high, and his wealth and power were equally amazing. Just like at this time in Gigg Town, Roddy could see markets and shops that could not be found in Norland Village. Although the permanent population was only about a thousand people, for the Kingdom of Karen, it was already a big town.
