Compared to the bloody scene in the "Holy Cathedral", Roddy, who was enjoying his life in Hollier City, was absolutely carefree.
Sally, who was mentally exhausted due to the power of the scepter, was back to normal after waking up. However, when she opened her eyes and saw Roddy lying beside her, she was a little reluctant to get up … So, this Lord Duke simply pretended to be unconscious and murmured a few words in a daze. Then, like a kitten, she curled up in Roddy's arms, closed her eyes blissfully and continued to sleep.
Of course, Roddy was aware of this, but only a fool would expose it at this time. He continued to close his eyes, maintaining his position with his hand on Sally's waist, inhaling the fragrance of her breath, enjoying the rare peaceful life.
Sally lay down for a while and saw that Roddy did not move. She wanted to take a mile after taking an inch. She pretended to lie down casually, but accidentally let Roddy's hand press on her lower abdomen. Even in her pajamas, Sally immediately felt the heat of his palm. This strange heat seemed to spread along her lower abdomen, making her feel inexplicably a little hot. When she opened her eyes, she found that Roddy had been looking at her all along …
"Aiya … You bad guy!"
Sally pouted, but she comfortably snuggled into Roddy's arms. "You only know how to bully me!"
"I didn't do anything …"
Rody had an innocent look on his face. After that, he realized that not doing anything was the real 'bullying'. He coughed twice and raised his hand. Sally's body suddenly stiffened and then softened. She bit her lips and looked at Rody. She looked like she was trying to hold back but was unwilling to speak. She looked very stubborn.
Seeing this, Roddy suddenly had the urge to teach this little girl a lesson. As a result, Sally's cheeks became redder and redder. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore and bit Roddy's neck. She whimpered, "What … What about the wedding?"
Sally's voice was so sweet that Roddy couldn't take it anymore. He was afraid that he would turn around and do her on the spot, so he quickly withdrew his hand and pretended to be calm. "I'm going to Lassiman soon. I'll settle things there and then do it when I come back. How about it? Now that the Rose Cross has been taken down, Charles II will probably suffer in silence. "
"Humph! Don't go back on your word when the time comes. "
Sally said arrogantly, but the changes in her body made her blush. At this time, she no longer pretended to be asleep. She got up and ran into the bathroom while Roddy was not paying attention. Even so, Roddy still saw her bright red ears.
"That's what you get for provoking …"
Roddy felt that he had watched so many educational films. No matter what, he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Compared to most people in this era, he was definitely an "old driver". Wouldn't it be easy to deal with this little Duke?
However, this thought was just a thought. He got up and stretched his body. Looking at the scenery outside the window, he knew that he had a lot of things to do. But these two days … I'll just take it as a vacation.
While he was lost in thought, Sally's scream suddenly came from the bathroom. Roddy's expression changed. He rushed to the bathroom as if he had teleported, only to find that Sally was looking down at the three little snakes lying on her arm.
The snake's head was the original shape of the "Viper's Kiss" scepter. At this time, it was condensed by the elements and looked lifelike. Or rather, it looked like it had come to life.
"It's okay, it's okay … It scared me just now. I can feel that it doesn't mean any harm. "
Sally's mind was full of thoughts that made her blush. She had almost forgotten the fact that she had fused with the scepter. So when she saw the three snakes suddenly appear, she was shocked. But she quickly felt the connection between the three snakes and herself, so she hurriedly called out to stop Roddy.
Roddy looked at the snakes and then looked at Sally. After confirming through the various data and status bars that she was indeed fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he immediately noticed a fact that he had overlooked just now: Sally's complexion and skin were much better than before. She was full of spirit and exuded vitality. Obviously, the benefits that the artifact scepter had brought her were far more than just a simple increase in level.
Moving closer to take a look, Roddy found that the three little snakes looked really pleasing to the eye. They did not have any particularly bright color differences, but each had a different tongue and scale pattern.
"This is Alecto, this is Mergala, and this is Tisiphone." These names were engraved in Sally's mind by the artifact, so she could easily distinguish them. But just when Roddy wanted to take a closer look, the three little snakes collectively retreated a distance, then turned into three rays of light, and changed back into the pattern on Sally's arm.
"They felt that the aura on your body was scary, so they hid."
Sally blinked and looked at Roddy curiously. "What did you do this time? I haven't seen you for a while, and you've become so powerful that even they are afraid of you. "
Although she was curious, Sally's tone had a hint of admiration. The man she had fallen in love with was so powerful, of course she was happier than anyone else.
Roddy also couldn't tell what was so scary about his aura. He thought for a moment, then took out Merlinsera's Dragon Crystal and shook it. "Maybe it has something to do with Dragons? But let's not talk about this. What's your plan for today? "
"My plan is … to catch you and not let you go!"
Sally laughed and threw herself into Roddy's arms.
Of course, they had to enjoy their rare vacation time. After washing up, the two happily enjoyed a delicious meal in the mansion and tasted the red wine from the Wood Elf Village. Then, they changed into gorgeous robes and walked into the opera house to watch an opera with a group of nobles.
The scene of the Prime Minister and Lord Duke going out together immediately attracted the attention of the nobles, but everyone saw how cute and helpless Sally was with Duke, so they didn't disturb them too much. Instead, the noblewomen with perfume and rouge were all surprised by Sally's appearance and temperament today. They all discussed sourly, which made Roddy laugh.
Opera at this time hadn't developed a proper model yet. The plot was old-fashioned, the tone was monotonous, and the performance was very primitive. Although the actors were adept at reading their lines and trying their best to express their emotions, in Roddy's eyes, it still felt like he was listening to an old-fashioned Beijing opera on the radio.
Perhaps one day, when the technology was mature, he could become the boss of a film company and organize a few production teams to tour around. It seemed like a good idea.
Of course, right now, Roddy didn't have the time for that. After watching the opera, Sally knew that she had to take care of Roddy, so she brought him to the racetrack to watch the horse racing. For nobles, horse racing was one of the most popular sports for men. This could be seen from the waves of cheers they heard when they entered.
The two of them were led directly to the VIP seats. When Roddy walked past, he found that the nobles around him were much quieter than before. Some of them even unconsciously moved further away. Presumably, they had watched the news of 'Cullen's Era' and finally understood how terrifying Roddy's strength was.
Sally held hands and followed behind him. After sitting down, she naturally held onto Roddy's arm and refused to let go. Her sweet and happy smile showed how happy she was now. And Roddy really felt that horse racing was more interesting than opera. But when he looked at the galloping horses on the racetrack, his mind was filled with the roaring sound of an F1 car engine. The manufacturing and improvement of cars would probably be completed soon. Even if they were to be mass-produced, the first batch could only be trucks. After all, transportation was the greatest contribution that cars could make to society.
When would there be a racetrack here?
Roddy looked at the strong horse that rushed past the finish line, a little lost in thought.
*****
In Elsen City, all the projects and plans were carried out step by step.
The first standardized road had been paved, and the speed of carriages traveling from the city to the small town outside the city was more than twice as fast as before. As the Arcane Puppets continued to expand their territory, this road would probably soon connect to the nearest noble city and form a road network.
Looking down from the Pasha Magic Tower, one could see that the forest surrounding the city had been cut down. Half a year ago, there were very few people on the main road, but now it was bustling with people. Caravans came in and out one after another. Perhaps these people would never have thought that a city built in the most remote corner of the kingdom could be as prosperous and lively as a port city.
Merlinsera was standing in front of the window and staring blankly down. She quickly turned around and looked at Naifei, who was walking up to her with a questioning look.
"Sister Merlinsera, I … I wanted to come and see your high heels. They look so good on you. I also want to customize a pair for my mother."
Her words sounded reasonable, but how could it be so simple? Naifei was a little mischievous. She had to travel with Merlinsera on the way to the Lachman Kingdom, so she, who would never take the initiative to greet Merlinsera, came to get close to her. A foreign country was not like Elsen City, where her mother could protect her. If she didn't want to be a burden to Roddy, she had to find more protection first. Naifei knew this better than anyone else.
"High heels? If you want to see them, I have to go back and change them. But if you want to customize them, you'd better ask Roddy. Only he knows how to make them. "
Speaking of this pair of shoes, Merlinsera couldn't help but feel like she was showing off. After all, Roddy had never given them to Akasha, so they were definitely a unique gift … It didn't matter to Merlinsera whether they had magic effects or not. What made her most happy was that they looked good.
After putting on the high heels, Merlinsala felt as if she was walking with a different aura. During this period of time, she wanted nothing more than to wear these high heels every single day.
"I don't dare to trouble you, Sister. I'll take a look at them when it's almost time to sleep!"
