Early May, Norland Village.
After Sodelor saw the battlefield where Rody killed the Wolf Cavalry, he went to Norland Village and waited for the captain who had disappeared to return. His appearance surprised Ruge, Carter, and the others, but Sodelor only said that he had something to discuss with Roddy, so they didn't say anything and let him wait.
The original Second Lieutenant Sodin, after seeing Ruge and the others return a few days ago, foolishly ordered them to kill more orcs to earn merit points. It was as if in his eyes, these scouts killing orcs were as natural as farmers harvesting wheat. Naturally, the result of this stupid order was that he was beaten up by Ruge and the other scouts.
Once the subordinates grew arrogant, the incompetent superior would always be the first to suffer.
Sodelor was startled by the tragic scene of the siege. After all, Sodin's position was about the same as his. He couldn't imagine being beaten up by his subordinates, but he couldn't stop them. In the end, he could only drag the unconscious Second Lieutenant Sodin to a shady place and bandage him up. That was the best he could do.
Then, he discovered that Sodin had been beaten silly. He didn't know whether it was lucky or not.
After waking up, Sodin basically didn't know how to do anything other than smile foolishly at people, eat, and sleep. At this stage, Lu Ge, Carter, and the others naturally acted as if this matter had nothing to do with them. Sodelor did not say anything else and used his own money to treat these scouts to a good meal. He raised his wine glass and drank to his heart's content with everyone. Finally, he addressed these scouts as his brothers and expressed that he had not seen anything.
Thus, Sodelor, who had been drifting away from the group, gradually integrated into the small circle of Norland Village.
After drinking too much, the soldiers naturally had to compete with each other. When Lu Ge, who had the best swordsmanship, was easily defeated by the other party, they gradually realized that this unknown Second Lieutenant seemed to be … not a simple character.
Ruge and Carter admired each other's swordsmanship, and Sodelor was a meticulous person. The days passed quickly, and on the 7th of May, year 588 of the Elon calendar, Sodelor finally found the person he was waiting for.
Roddy appeared at the entrance of Norland Village in the evening.
Under the setting sun, when Roddy walked into the village wearing leather armor and a black cloak, the villagers who wanted to greet him hesitated and did not dare to speak. The sharp look of the Stalker Suit was unusually fierce, and it made Roddy look completely different from his original 'little scout' temperament. The six pack horses behind him were filled with goods, which made people think that he was a rich and powerful traveling merchant.
Roddy didn't care about this. He just put on his hood and pulled his horse to the canteen of the scout team. Then, he walked in casually.
"Let me tell you, if I hadn't dodged in time, that bastard would've smashed my head open —"
"Carter! Stop bragging. Look at you. Even if the Beastman is ten meters away from you, you still say that he can almost hit you! "
"Can't you give me some face? I'm not done yet! My equipment wasn't good, my sword was bent, and my leather armor was broken. If the Beastman touched me, I would've died. Of course I had to hide further away, right? "
At this time, the scouts in the canteen were drinking and chatting loudly. Carter, who was bragging about how he killed the Beastman, raised his mug of ale and gestured. But when his gaze swept towards the door, he froze as if he had been electrocuted.
His eyebrows furrowed together, he raised the mug in his hand and pointed it forward. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Sensing that something was wrong, the scouts stopped what they were doing and turned around in unison. Then, they revealed a shocked expression, as if they had seen an alien.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I haven't seen you in a few days, and no one recognizes me?"
Roddy pulled back his hood and chuckled. Without waiting for his comrades to respond, he said in a commanding tone, "Let's not waste time. Let me announce something!"
* Slap! *
Almost instantly, all the scouts stood up. The crisp sound of their boots hitting each other echoed in the canteen. Sodelor, who was still sitting at the side, was dumbfounded.
After staying in Norland Village for so long, these scouts seemed to be no different from his subordinates in Fenkes Village, except for the occasional arrogance. However, after Rody appeared for a few seconds, he realized that these solemn scouts had suddenly become so strange.
They were absolutely disciplined, obedient, and respectful. This was something Sodelor had never seen before.
"Ahem, no need to be so serious. Erm … In order to make it easier for you to kill the Beastmen, and to protect ourselves, I've bought a new batch of equipment for you!"
* Clang! *
Roddy threw the heavy bag in his hand on the ground and opened it, revealing a dozen longswords in sheaths.
"Everyone has one!"
Roddy's words were like a heavy hammer, making the soldiers feel like they were suffocating.
To the others, his words were undoubtedly nonsense. The captain is buying equipment for the soldiers? Has he eaten too much?
Even if the scouts thought with their knees, they would still understand … How could someone who was neither a noble lord nor a wealthy merchant afford so much money?
Even the cheapest swords and armor were not something ordinary people could afford. How could Roddy, who was only paid by the army, buy these things?
Sodelor's eyes widened as he looked at the bags. He swallowed hard, and even the thought of greeting Roddy was thrown to the back of his mind.
Ruger raised his eyebrows and took out a longsword from the bag. He looked at the sharp blade under the candlelight and was speechless for a moment. "Roddy … Did you loot Fort Consetton?"
He could tell at a glance that the equipment was definitely of high quality. The craftsmanship was comparable to that of the soldiers in Fort Consetton, or even better!
"Don't ask nonsense. Everyone has one, and there are many more outside. Everyone, try them! I'll kick the ass of anyone who tries to rob it! "
Rody did not answer Lu Ge's question. Instead, he looked at the soldiers in front of him and shouted loudly. His words were immediately answered. The soldiers were extremely excited. They rushed forward to take the equipment and then rushed out of the house with a strange cry. In the end, only Ruger, Carter, and Sodelor did not move.
"Don't be nervous. The things came from an open and aboveboard place, except for Sodin's. By the way, where did Sodin go?"
"Uh, that … Ahem, I'll explain to you later, Captain. Second Lieutenant Sodelor has been waiting for many days. Do you want to talk to him first? "
The atmosphere was relaxed, and Carter was not as serious as before. He winked at Ruger and walked out of the house with the latter. Sodelor was left behind with a complicated expression.
Looking at this Second Lieutenant, Roddy seemed to speak naturally.
"I'm surprised you're here."
He untied his cloak, revealing his conspicuous black leather armor. His tone did not hide his surprise. To be honest, facing this Legion Commander in his memory, he was actually feeling a little conflicted.
It was just a chance encounter in Fenkes Village, but it was obviously not a coincidence to meet him here. Roddy's mind was racing as he tried to figure out why Sodelor would appear here, but he could not figure out what the problem was.
Sodelor thought for a moment, and finally decided not to beat around the bush. He said, "That … To tell you the truth, I saw the scene of your battle with the Orcs. The corpses of ten Wolf Riders, and your amazing archery skills … Ruger and the others have already proved that you do have such skills. "
"So?"
Roddy narrowed his eyes. He immediately began to deduce what Sodelor knew. Sodelor had seen the battlefield, so he might have indirectly deduced that he was trying to save Sally. Then, according to the rules, anyone who knew about this must be killed!
But now, standing in front of him was the Legion Commander in his memory, Sodelor. One thing Roddy knew was that this powerful general who fought against the corrupt nobles of the kingdom hated traitors like Francis the most.
And the one who ordered Francis to be hanged was this young Second Lieutenant in front of him!
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that Sodelor did not have any formal conflict with him.
"So, I think I roughly understand what happened to the Lucifron Family." Sodelor, who was a head taller than Roddy, looked at him, and his tone became quite respectful. "I admire your choice. You were able to stand up at this time and really stop things from happening. This is something I wanted to do but could not do. I think Miss Sally should be fine, right? "
The means of communication in this era were not developed. At this time, no one in Norland Village knew that Sally had become a "priest candidate". But because of this, Roddy had a more intuitive understanding of Sodelor's meticulousness.
This guy was really a freaking monster. He should just change his name to Sherlock Holmes.
Concealing the shock in his heart, Roddy exhaled and said, "Miss Sally will naturally be fine, but what I want to know is, why are you here? Even if Fenkes Village disappears, I'm afraid your position will not have anything to do with Norland Village. "
Hearing this, Sodelor showed a hesitant expression, and finally said, "You can kill so many Orcs and ensure Miss Sally's safety … I think perhaps even the strongest Knight under the Lords at the border is not as strong as you. So, the purpose of my coming here is actually to learn. "
Learn?
Roddy raised his eyebrows. All the answers he had originally thought of were completely disrupted by Sodelor's words. At this moment, his mind was really confused. This strong man who had broken through Level-60 in his memory ran in front of him and said that he wanted to "learn" from him?
Did he take the wrong medicine, or am I still asleep?
But Roddy's thoughts quickly changed. Although Sodelor was now stronger than the scouts, he was after all only a very low-level Second Lieutenant. As for his strength, it was not that strong at all. He was afraid that even if he encountered two Orcs, he would not be able to deal with them.
But what about himself? After equipping a full set of Level 4 top-tier Purple equipment, his attributes would increase by several folds. He would practically be invincible in Cullen Novice Village and Orc Village. He would be like a bug in the game amongst those of the same level. In short, he would be awesome!
