A heathen artifact caused Rubens and the cardinals of the other factions to argue endlessly. But unlike before, Rubens was no longer as powerful as he was two months ago.
Because the pope had changed his attitude towards Eiffta.
After winning the war against the Beastmen, Eiffta's political changes were rejected by the pope. He did not want the territory that he could have controlled to become a monolithic entity, so he had now retracted the focus of cooperation from Eiffta. This change naturally caused Rubens's forces, which had always been "representing" Eiffta, to be suppressed.
So the pope did not support Rubens's suggestion and gave up on the decision to hand the scepter over to Sally. Instead, he continued to seal the Viper's Kiss to ensure the independence of the Rose Cross.
He naturally had sufficient reasons to do so. A few days ago, Roddy expressed his intention through the abbot of Eiffta Abbey to mobilize the army to completely cripple the Viper Cross. But now that the pope had put Eiffta on the "dangerous" list, why would he consider this level of cooperation?
So he rejected Roddy on the grounds that Sauron's army attacking the villages would affect the Holy Cathedral.
Clearly, the honeymoon period between Eiffta and the Rose Cross was over.
At the same time, Roddy stepped onto the larger Kelda Duck, leaped from the Elsen Floating Tower, and flew towards the east of the kingdom.
His mission was simple. He was going to collect the mission reward of the "Trial of the Bone Throne" and simply investigate the impact of the "newspaper" on the central and eastern parts of the kingdom. Then, he could confirm Eiffta's future strategy.
According to the mission description, the "mission reward" could not be claimed on behalf of others. The route to collect the mission reward was risk-free, so Roddy decided to go alone, saving him the trouble of mobilizing everyone for a month. After all, with his current strength, no one in this area could stop him.
Compared to the state he was in when he rescued Sally, Roddy's current strength could be said to have increased by more than five times. Not only did Suren and the new tailor upgrade his Dragonscale Leather Armor, but the Frost Dragon's Wrath Set not only increased his basic attributes by seven times, but it also provided three new set effects.
2/8 Frost Magic Resistance increased by 180 points
4/8 Frost Spell Damage + 200
All of your attacks have a 5% chance to trigger Slow Freeze.
In the past few nights, Roddy had been busy with two things: absorbing the energy of the Dragon Crystal and making socketable crystals.
Due to the increase in level and the increase in skills, Rody had no choice but to replace the few Skill Crystals that were originally embedded in his equipment. The six newly replaced Skill Crystals were of a slightly higher level than the previous ones, but their effects were still focused on 'survival' skills. He also carried three Summoning Stones for summoning three types of elements, six spare quivers, a bag of casting materials, and a dozen bottles of potions. Roddy could be said to be in top condition.
The Keldar Duck and Roddy had experienced the battle of Tasman together. Although Natha rode it all day to scout, its level had skyrocketed, and it was now Level-35. Compared to its original silly appearance, the Kelda Duck's wingspan had increased from seven meters to eight and a half meters. Its body was slender, and its flight was much steadier than before. More importantly, it was finally smarter when it landed, and it didn't end up crashing every time like a plane.
Because of the increased flying speed, Roddy took a day and a night to reach the mission area on the map.
It was located in the eastern part of the Bergen Territory, remote and almost forgotten by the kingdom. Arriving in the evening, Roddy found a random forest to rest in. The next morning, he followed the map to the location of the mission reward. The journey was smooth, and he did not encounter any magical beasts.
The location indicated by the mission was a cave, but when Roddy arrived, he found that outside the cave was the ruins of a small town that had almost been buried. If he did not look carefully, Roddy would not have been able to tell that the things wrapped in vines were once stone pillars.
Walking into the half-decayed town, Roddy could tell from the decorations and patterns that it was a ruin left behind by the High Elves. After passing through the town according to the map, a hidden cave suddenly appeared in front of him. Roddy felt that this seemed to be a secret passage that had collapsed, because there were obvious marks of man-made chiseling inside. But that was not important. He walked 20 to 30 meters in, and successfully took out a longsword, a dagger, a longbow, a belt, a necklace, and a ring from a box.
The longsword and the dagger were light in design, suitable for Assassins. Roddy felt that there was no need to replace the Elemental Lord dagger that the Dragons had given him, so he put the rewarded sword in the Keldar Duck's inventory.
The longbow that the quest reward gave Roddy a good feeling:
General Crowe's Accurate Longbow
915 – 988 Damage
+ 246 Agility
+ 120 Strength
Effect: Increases your effective shooting range by 25%
Effect: Increases accuracy by 5%
Effect: Increases critical hit rate by 2%

Although the attributes of the Dragonbone Shortbow in Roddy's hands were not bad, as a shortbow, its natural advantage was that the arrow was fast and powerful. Its flaw was that the damage was fluctuating, and the tolerance for error was low. Even the slightest tremble of the fingers pulling the bow would cause the error to be magnified at the point of impact. This error could be tolerated within 30 meters, but if the distance was more than 100 meters, and the target was the head, the hit might hit the chest or miss.
The longbow was different. Although the arrow speed was slow and the trajectory was high, the effective shooting range was long, the landing point was accurate, and there was a high tolerance for error. With Roddy's current archery skills, the shortbow could only rely on his intuition at a distance of 200 meters, but the longbow could clearly find the landing point. If the attributes of this longbow were used with skills such as "Guided Arrow" and "Cannon Blast", Roddy could even suppress the enemy from 350 meters away with a high accuracy.
However, at the moment, Roddy could not use it. It was not because of the level, but because different bows required different arrows. The quality of the arrows used with this longbow would be heavier, and the deflection would also be different. If he were to use the old arrows now, the arrows would often deviate left and right, which would greatly affect his accuracy.
As for the belt, necklace, and ring, Roddy did not hesitate to change them. Because of this, he had the set effect "Divine Blessing", which increased all his attributes by 15%.
