"Who? Roddy? Have you seen him?"

Benjamin heard a rough idea, but did not understand why the Bishop, who had always been unfair to fame and disgrace, was so surprised.

Rubens's mind was finally calm. He quickly came back from that shock, rubbed his eyebrows silently, but also showed the same bitter smile as Benjamin-"Not only saw it, but he almost started a conflict...

"What?"

"Now that it's not surprising that he appears in the Duke's Mansion..."

Although he was a friend, Rubens was even more cautious after all and did not tell all the experiences at noon. Instead, he simply told Benjamin about his "misunderstanding" with Roddy, and then sighed: "A guy like this should not be just a scout captain."

This was the first time the two old men made the same sigh for a young man, but the next thing was quite a bit. After the sigh, they prepared to go to the restaurant of the monastery to have some supper. However, as soon as they walked out the door, the priest who was responsible for collecting information came over.

"Goy, is this all new news from the south?"

"Yes, Lord Superintendent, but most of them should be related to the battle between Lord Gordon and Earl Mur, 'The Temple, there is only one letter."

"Oh, how are the fight over there?"

Rubens took the letter from the other party, asked casually, turned around and placed it at his desk, preparing to come back to read after dinner, but he did not know that Goystor's words made him stop suddenly-

"Earl Moore seems to have won..."

"Who? Are you saying... Lord Geden was defeated?"

Rubens asked this sentence involuntarily with wide eyes, but what Roddy had just said in the morning suddenly appeared in his mind.

This...isn't this a coincidence?

"This should be conclusive news, because the journey back to the temple is to pass through the territory of Count Moor, so the messengers convey this information at the fastest speed."

The priest was still talking, while Rubens immediately found the detailed battle report about the battle situation from the letters, and found that it was written on it as the whole process of "Earl of Mur defeating Lord Gordon"...

He couldn't help but stare at the letter in his hand blankly. In the morning, he felt that the other party was short-sighted about Roddy's remarks, but now it seems that the captain of the scout...is not wrong.

At the same time, Roddy, who was raising a glass on the dining table, naturally would not know that Rubens had regarded himself as a monster now.

When talking about "Lord Geden" at lunchtime at noon today, he actually didn't know who this guy was - but when it comes to Earl Mur, Roddy was familiar with it.

In the eyes of players, kingdom nobles are roughly divided into three types: "leaders" such as Francis, who stand on the mountain with noble and coldness, and the rest are those who maintain the dignity of the royal family.

No matter which one is it, the existence of these three nobles is the root of the kingdom's differences. In Roddy's memory, "Earl Moor" is a staunch supporter of the royal family and a "pillar"-level master.

Although it is not considered a god of military use or a great strategy, among the leaders who can truly gather soldiers and counterattack when the Orcs invade Karen's territory, Earl Mur is definitely the best in the top abilities. Not only that, for a long time, the royal family that was undermined power was almost completely preserved under his several correct decisions and was not destroyed...

With such factual basis, Roddy naturally would not believe that such a powerful party would be thrown away by a small fish and shrimp that he had never heard of. However, no one would care about what he answered Rubens at noon, because in such a grand dinner, the aristocrats in Hollier City were not all involved... but all the scouts of Nolan Village.

In this era when the lower-level soldiers may never see the duke in their entire lives, the scene of scouts and lords drinking and talking to each other is always something that Carter, Ruger and others can never realize, and they have never even thought about it.

However, now, under the leadership of the Knights of Titus, they entered the Duke's Mansion in a dignified manner, and majestic manner. Under the service of a group of servants, they changed into brand new military uniforms, sat in Yujing's bright and bright restaurant, and feasted on the rich food in front of them with sterling silver tableware...

For them, everything that happened seemed like a dream.

This dinner is not only the physical satisfaction brought by eating and drinking, but also the greatest affirmation of all soldiers after their struggles over a long period of time

Roddy is very clear about one thing: participating in the war is nothing more than two purposes, one is interests and the other is fame. As non-mercenary scouts have little desire for money, but their yearning for this "glory" in front of them is far deeper than anyone else.

If you can't get these things, who would get up early and go to bed late and fight to death on the battlefield?

So at this moment, seeing these subordinates laughing and talking loudly, Roddy could deeply understand the increasingly concentrated morale of the army and high morale.

Of course, he admired the Duke of Angma who agreed to this request, and also admired the two knights who sat together with the scouts to drink at this time. In the era of strict hierarchy, such a scene is absolutely unique.

"I said, I won't go home if I'm drunk today."

The Duke held up his wine glass. Although he knew that his body had not recovered, he still drank the glass of ale and immediately said: "Happy"

"Long live Lord"

A cheer sounded, and the restaurant, which had always been quiet, was extremely noisy at this time.

Roddy didn't drink much. After the dinner started, he was already a little dizzy, but he had only drunk two glasses of ale. Fortunately, the level and attribute advantages were here, so he would not make any fool of himself. He looked at Sally, who was greeting the scouts, and felt helpless: In the afternoon, he found Sally and wanted to explain what happened at noon to the other party, but Sally pouted and closed the door and hid in the bedroom. Roddy waited for a long time and saw that she had no intention of opening it, so he had to leave in disappointment...

At the dinner, Sally seemed to have nothing happened when she attended the event. She smiled and said hello to Soderol and others, and said hello to herself, but she didn't talk much to him, just a few formulaic sentences

"What a headache..."

Roddy really couldn't figure out what the girl was thinking about, but his mind was not all about women. At this time, he saw that there were finally fewer people around the Knight Wellington, so he staggered over and said hello in a low voice: "Knight Wellington, do you have time to talk about it?"

"Oh?" Wellington looked down at the guy who was shorter than himself. He really had a good impression of these scouts who could kill back and forth in the Orc Kingdom, so he replied with a smile: "Let's tell me, what can I help you?"

"It's... about these scouts."

Roddy and he walked to the corner of the restaurant, gestured with his hands and put forward some of his thoughts, "About riding and swordsmanship, this team now lacks a very experienced mentor..."

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked to the side as they said something. Not far away, Sally, who looked like she was chatting with her father with a smile, quietly glanced at Roddy with her eyes-

"What? Are you just watching him?"

Angma naturally noticed this, and her low joking made Sally's face turn red. She wrinkled her nose and turned her eyes and snorted: "Who is watching him..."

"I didn't say who it was."

Angma laughed, and changed the subject as her daughter's face turned red and asked, "By the way, have you considered the things Rubens said?"

"Think...no, not yet."

When Sally thought of the incident of going to the "Sanctuary" mentioned by the Superintendent Bishop, her little face suddenly became weak... Although she knew that this was the opportunity that countless nobles or believers dreamed of, she was still worried about that "stupid". She said it was not long or short for two years. If she left now, it would probably take two and a half years to come back. At that time, she was the young girl who was almost nineteen years old...

"What your daughter wants to do, my father won't stop you. I just want you to know-no matter what decision you make, I, the father, will support you unconditionally." Angma raised his hand and covered his mouth and said quietly: "Although there is a regulation that prohibits marriage, Russifron's blood... will be passed on."

"Father"

Sally couldn't listen at all. Yu Qian covered her ears and her face looked like a red apple. "I'm only sixteen years old, don't tell me anything about having a baby."

"Okay, okay, I won't say it."

Duke Angma quickly stopped talking and raised his hand to make a "surrender". This is the posture that he often used when he was a child when he was coaxing Sally. At this time, it made Sally, who was originally in a mess, feel sad suddenly...

Looking at the wrinkles on her father's face that could no longer be hidden and her no longer strong body, Sally also understood the carefree time she had in the past... I'm afraid she would never go back.

She also knew: If she stayed in Hollier City, she would probably have to slowly rise from a priest. Although the starting point was already higher than others, she would have to become a bishop at least three to five years, and if she climbed up, she could only look at luck.

If you follow Rubens to the "Temple", not to mention that you will definitely have the title of "bishop" in two years, the connections and resources accumulated in the sect in the past two years will definitely not be comparable to a priest in Hollier City. More importantly, if the father has any more shortcomings and the throne and duke inherited from her, if she does not have enough background and resources, how can she sit firmly in such a high position?

Sally had already understood the cruelty of reality, so at this moment, of course she could tell what she should choose. When she looked up at Roddy, she always felt that she could not make any cruel or decision immediately.

Throughout the afternoon, Sally was actually hesitating and even dared not meet and talk to Roddy because she was afraid that Roddy would speak to him, so how should she make a decision?

But seeing her father support her like this, Sally gradually realized that these choices could not be made based on her own preferences—the ones pressing on her back were the entire Russiflon family and the future of the Everta territory.

After understanding this, Sally took a few deep breaths. Seeing Roddy walking away from the Wellington Knight with some depression, she quickly chased after him, ready to confess his choice to him.
