Camilla and Naifei both felt that Roddy was working too hard. They tried to dissuade him, but Roddy always smiled and continued to work. Not only him, but veterans like Akasha, Natha, and even Carter and Ruger never slacked off.
They were deeply influenced by Roddy and seemed to have gotten used to it.
Camilla also felt that she could not slack off. She began to study Solomon's notes in addition to government affairs. But before she could read much, a letter from Hollier made her rush to the Pasha Magic Tower to find Roddy.
"Oh? A letter from Hollier? "
Roddy was studying the "rune embedding". He put down the tools in his hands and left the lab table. He muttered, "What urgent matter could this little girl have …"
Camilla only knew that Roddy and Akasha were in a relationship, but she did not know that Lord Duke was also very close to Roddy. When she heard Roddy calling Sally like that, she pursed her lips and pretended not to care. She handed the letter over and explained, "Sally, Duke is going to participate in the 'Spring Hunting' at the end of March. I think he wants to use this matter to deter some disobedient nobles."
"Too many troublemakers? Heh, he should teach them a lesson. "
Roddy did not pay much attention to it.
"But … it's not that simple." Camilla continued, "I've intercepted the letter from the Bergen Territory to the two spies. Judging from the content, this' Spring Hunting 'must have been planned by Count Milnor. They also specifically mentioned that they would do whatever it takes to ensure that you and Sodelor participate in it together."
"Huh? Me and Sodelor? "
"They said to spread rumors about your relationship with … with Duke and Sally in the city. At the same time, they will use various incidents to create pressure. They even prepared forged letters."
Roddy was stunned. The information in Camilla's words was extremely important. The Count had gone through so much trouble just to let him participate in the hunt?
He was not a fool. After carefully pondering for a moment, his originally calm face gradually darkened.
"Earl Milnor … He destroyed Sodelor's family in the past. Now, he wants to kill us all?"
These days, Rody was not only busy with his own matters. He had also asked Henry and the others to investigate Count Milnor. Now, he was very clear about the Count's dark history. He also knew that the Count was vicious and domineering, and he often did not leave any leeway.
She hadn't even said anything about settling the score with him, but he had come to find her first, and he had also set his eyes on Sodelor and Sally.
There was an inexplicable anger in his heart. Rody closed the letter and calmly said, "In that case, let's inform Zodelor …"
"Tell him that it's time for revenge."
*****
February 27th, Bergen Territory.
The planning for the "Hunting Meet" had come to an end. Count Milnor was very satisfied with the performance of Viceroy Louville these days. He did not care about the conflict between the "Rose-Cross" and the "Viper Cross". Like Charles II, he always said, "I don't care about the process.
"I don't care about the process, I only care about the results."
After all the orders were given, Count Milnor originally planned to rest for a few days and turn his attention to other areas in the kingdom. However, when he heard from his butler that his son, Sienna, was fooling around with women everywhere, his old face suddenly darkened.
Thus, this playboy who had been idling around the territory all day stood in front of Milnor obediently. He lowered his head and accepted the scolding.
"You don't practice your swordsmanship well, and you don't even read books. These filthy things happen every day. How can I trust you with my territory?!"
"Father, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Unlike the usual bickering scenes, the young Sienna looked like he was going to turn over a new leaf and repent for his mistakes. But how could Milnor not know about his son's petty tricks? He pointed at him for a long time and did not continue scolding him. Instead, he sighed and said, "You know what I've been discussing with the viceroy these days. This time, it's something that His Majesty has personally ordered to be dealt with. Logically speaking, I should pay attention to it the whole time. However, because I can't go to the 'Da Vinci Territory' to keep an eye on it, I want you to go there on my behalf. What do you think?"
Milnor knew that his son was used to being spoiled, but he was still an "elite" who had been immersed in the circle of nobles since he was young. His ability and intelligence were not bad at all. He just lacked training. Now … it was time for him to bear some responsibilities.
Sienna was actually bored of idling around the territory all day. When he heard this, he immediately became interested. "Father, what do you need me to do?"
"Look at you. If I didn't know better, I would think that you're going to assassinate someone."
Milnor was pleased to see that Sienna was not against it. He smiled and said, "Basically, just leave everything to Luweir's men. You just need to enjoy the atmosphere of the Hunting Meet. Of course, if you have the ability to make the daughter of one of the Earls fall in love with you, that would be even better."
Sienna was a little disappointed. At his age, he yearned for excitement. He would only find things that were not challenging boring. Milnor knew what Sienna was thinking with just a glance. He immediately added, "As a member of the Milnor Family, I have to be well-prepared … Although Luweir is very confident, I can't place all my hopes on him. So … apart from a team of elites, I'll let Andrew go with you. If anything happens, you have the right to command him to complete the mission."
"Really?"
Sienna was a little surprised. In the past, he did not have the right to command anything like this. However, it was different this time. Andrew was an Intermediate Magician trained by the family. He was one of the foundations of the family and a guarantee of its prestige. It was obvious why Sienna was able to command him.
"I'm not joking. Remember to be cautious and think twice before you act."
Milnor did not waste any more time. After giving some instructions, he let Sienna make the necessary preparations. Sienna seemed to be immersed in the sudden joy and could not extricate himself.
In Sienna's eyes, the "Hunting Meet" meant that he was about to have countless women to hunt for, and leaving the Bergen Territory and his father's sight made him feel as if he had flown out of a cage and wanted to do whatever he wanted …
After walking out of his father's study, the dandy immediately returned to his usual 'self'. He stretched out his arm and pulled the beautiful maid beside him to him. He began to walk up and down her clothes with practiced movements …
"Young … Young Master …"
Sienna did not care about the maid's moans. He squinted his eyes and mumbled to himself, "I heard that Duke is quite good-looking. I wonder if he feels … better?"

"Hmm?"
Roddy, who had just received the first batch of 'Erondega's Longswords' from the 'Munitions Factory', suddenly stopped in his tracks. He opened the 'Quest Panel' in confusion. He suddenly saw an eye-catching notification about the progress of a quest.
There were many city-building quests in the Quest Panel. He had already cleared a batch of them with the help of the 'Recharging Crystals'. However, there was a purple frame flashing in front of him. Roddy reached out and clicked on it. It was the notification for the next step of the 'Judgment of the Bone Throne' mission.
"Foil Augustine's plot."
There was only one sentence in the entire Quest Panel. There were no notifications, rewards, or deadlines. Roddy stood rooted to the ground for a long time.
However, thinking about the few quests he had encountered before, Roddy felt much more at ease. 'Legendary' quests were just as clueless. He had already completed the first two stages of this' Epic 'series of quests. According to the rules of increasing difficulty, the third stage would naturally be much more difficult.
However, Roddy did not care about how difficult it was at all. After staying in Elsen City for a long time, the soldiers' equipment, levels, and his own trump cards had greatly increased his confidence. Compared to before he went to the Glacier Plain, his current strength had more than doubled.
However, he also knew that he was going to face Augustine, not some little skeleton on the side of the road. So, looking at the words' Judgment of the Bone Throne ', he thought for a moment and turned to the' Mage Area '.
After greeting Naify who had just finished her magic practice, Roddy shamelessly borrowed the 'Hand of Dalusi' from her. Of course, Lan Waihu would not lend it to him for free. She demanded that Roddy practice with her for the next three days. For Roddy, who was invincible in archery but weak in magic, the result was that he would be crushed by Naify while laughing.
Roddy, on the other hand, was happy to do it. As long as Naify was happy, he would do anything.
After leaving the Magic Tower, Roddy held the 'Hand of Dalusi' and walked to the independent laboratory where Naify was. After gradually learning the basics of magic, he also realized the significance of this black quill to the world of magic. At this time, he borrowed it mainly because he wanted to ask Sally to make some special 'divine scrolls'. Against the threat of the Undead Monarch, Roddy believed that 'divine spells' would always be the most effective. Therefore, it was better to bring as many scrolls as possible to counter the threat of the Undead Monarch.
Going straight to the 'Magic Testing Area', Roddy looked around and then walked to one of the rooms. Because there were hundreds of undead soldiers standing around, it looked gloomy. He glanced around and found that the little priest was in a room where 'Independent Element Control' was activated, doing magic experiments.
Roddy thought for a while and decided not to call her when he was doing experiments seriously. Instead, he went to the study where Akasha usually took notes and wanted to put down the 'Hand of Dalusi' and leave a few words. Akasha had a very good learning habit.
Akasha had a very good learning habit. All kinds of records, inferences, and expected experimental results were sorted out clearly. Even if Rody did not understand magic, he could still roughly see the direction of Akasha's efforts at that moment.
He sighed at the little priest's ability to study. Using the quill to write down the name of the scroll he wanted to make, he turned around and was about to leave. But before he left, he found a strange piece of parchment. There were names written on the parchment, and each name was followed by a description:
Felinda, a naive girl who liked to draw.
Brakdas, a coward who stuttered.
Amasley, …
"Who are these people?"
Roddy admitted that he had never seen these names before, and he had never heard Akasha mention them before. Glancing down, there were a total of 20 such names. Roddy frowned and finally decided not to ask too much. He would wait until Akasha wanted to tell him.
