Chapter 342: Ambition

"Sorry, sorry ..."
Roddy looked at the bar wet by himself, apologized, reached out, took the rag and wiped it—fortunately, he didn't spray Hook, otherwise he must be embarrassed now
"Raphael, don't you have a cold with Captain Roddy?"
Hook was very perceptive and felt that Raphael didn't seem to be very interested in Roddy, so he asked casually.
The bar in the slum area didn't pay much attention to cleanliness. After rubbing it two times, he felt that he could not see any traces and then returned to his seat. After thinking about it, he replied: "In fact, I have some interests, but I want to pass These deeds are changed into stories, and you say that in conjunction with the orcs stories I said before, how do these things form a series of biographies? "
"A perfect match. If you are willing to speak here, I'm afraid the pig's head bar will be full of people ..."
Hook was attracted by his ideas, and soon forgot that Roddy had some weird reactions just now, and his head was full of imagination that the bar was full and the house was full of silver coins.
Roddy breathed a little sigh of relief and continued to ask, "If the story is going to continue, Captain Roddy must have survived the accident, so what do you think ... what will be better next?"
"Ah-of course I wish he was alive, but the news has been confirmed, he suffered an avalanche on the side of Karlsberg, and the Baron Soderauer was buried underneath ... and if you want me to say, then Come down and let Captain Roddy survive the avalanche, and then come back to learn the lesson 丨 this group of nobles "
Hook waved his hand and was rather indignant: "You don't know what means these aristocrats use to vilify him every day. Since the news of the avalanche, many people even have a banquet to celebrate-this is nothing, they are secretly Sending people to send various messages about Captain Roddy's sweaty villain, saying that he killed Francis and confused the Duke of Angmar, which is the culprit of the current increase in taxes in the entire territory ... "
Roddy raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that he could be blacked out by so many targets, so he asked curiously, "How do you know? Then you don't believe them?"
"The group of guys is too tender. The source of information in this area of ​​Holliday City is fixed. Suddenly a group of people who do n’t know pop up nonsense. Who would believe what they say? Just check the source and you will know What the backgrounds of Viscount Juan, Baron Mursa, and Baron Bolivar are clear to me. "
As a ground snake, Hook still has this pride. He sneered dismissively and continued: "However, they also messed up with those honest farmers. Last time, a made a big fuss here, saying Roddy. The captain is not the one who doesn't do it, and I don't need to do it. There is a mercenary next to him to lie down-嘁, later, I inquired a little and found that it was all the dogs under the aristocracy ... They did this to give Now I can persuade the Duke of Angmar to find a reason. In recent days, a group of people have begun to scream again, saying that the Duke of Angmar has been so seduced by Captain Roddy that he has reached a state of exorcism ... "
The finger holding the wine glass was squeezed slightly, and Roddy narrowed his eyes, trying to hide the suffocation, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and followed Hu Ke to curse two nonsense like aristocracy, and raised his hand. After drinking the remaining half of ale, he fell silent.
For this kind of dirty behavior of nobles, Rody naturally accumulated a lot of anger in his heart, but now he is not so excited and chopped past with an axe-he felt the deepest emotion at this time ... not Angry, but disappointed ...
Because of this disappointment, it comes from his expectations for this country.
Even Hook, a small citizen, is willing to admit the "justice" of his actions, but the nobles still turn black and white for their own interests, regardless of the facts-are Magda and Ansadin small characters? Are orcs small characters? The enemies have hit the chess pieces to the bottom of their eyes, they really don't know what this means?
This group of guys are not stupid, but they collectively lack the sense of "responsibility" represented by the term "nobility" ... they have no sense of state or even the consciousness of guarding their territory. The only thing they have is to compete for monetary benefits. The fierceness of the war has long forgotten the so-called "sense of honor".
This fact made Roddy inexplicably feel a little discouraged.
Hook looked at him with some uncertainty. The other side had some anxieties that he had never seen before. The feeling was completely different from the "Raphael" he saw six months ago, and he could only say with emotion: "Six months I said before that I envy you that you can go north and south, but I can only squat here-now ... you have seen more people and things, and I still stay where I am, nothing has changed. "
He thought about it, reached out and took out a different bottle from the wine cabinet, unplugged the wine and poured Rodi a glass-this is not very expensive red wine, but it is considered a luxury in the ghetto. Hook knows that this guy can make his business a lot better, so he is naturally generous: "Come and try, welcome back to Hollier City, Yu Cup"
The taste of the wine was average, but Roddy still gave face to drink.
"Unfortunately, there is no way to get the fruit wine of the wooden elves. I heard that it is really good, but the price is really unaffordable ..."
Hook said casually while touching the taste of the wine, and Roddy was still a little indifferent, and answered casually: "Why don't you go to Jingyu Forest to buy something?"
"How is that possible? I can't afford a mercenary team. It's too dangerous there. Besides, the wood elves are probably too expensive. I can't afford them." Hook shook his head, and his fat body shrank back.
"You haven't seen the wood elves at all, but you have set up obstacles that you can't overcome. Naturally, you can't make money." Rordy did not expect Hook to be the first one to go to the quiet forest in addition to himself. The businessman, but he still persuaded: "Why did the wine sold in that shop come? I haven't bought it at the Wood Elf Village. Since I can buy it, there must be a way and a way to get it. Things only need you If you want to do it, the so-called obstacles are nothing. "
Hook seemed a little moved, but apparently it was not so easy to be persuaded. He just paused for a few seconds, and said helplessly: "These words are divided by whoever tells me. If you are the Lord Roddy, I Let's start tomorrow ... "
Roddy laughed loudly, but also understood his psychology-what a successful person says is always more "weight" than a mediocre one. He didn't plan to say anything else, just asked for a glass of water to sober up.
"Talk about something else. I heard that there was some conflict in the south. It seemed to be a cross, fighting with the old opponent in the Brill Forest, but no one knew what the specific situation was, and the news was covered very tightly."
Hook set the red wine aside, and habitually picked up the rag and wiped the oak wine glass. "I remember you said you had a girlfriend over there?"
Roddy froze. Hook's news reminded him of what Nata and himself said. Apparently, "Viper Cross" seemed to be conspiring about something. At first he didn't know where it was, but now he can basically confirm that it is cloth. Riel Forest.
"It is indeed, north of Brill Forest."
He first thought of Nefi, followed by Sally-but soon those concerns were weighed down: Negra's Mogra village was twenty kilometers north of the Brill Forest, and if it was within the forest, The battle will never reach such a village.
And Sally is not at all dangerous ... In Roddy's impression, Sally should still be studying in the "Temple" at this time, at least 300 kilometers away from the Brill Forest.
"That's nothing to worry about. Why, just leave for a while in Hollier?"
"Yes, just take a few days off. There are still things tomorrow. I'll take a break and come here in the evening to help your business."
Roddy got up and took the room key from Hook, but he made a secret decision: After everything was resolved, he hurried to Mogla Village as soon as possible.
For Leonards Canyon, daylight often disappears very early.
The gully terrain is so dangerous that there will never be enough sunshine in the valley. After years of accumulation, deep and cold winds will always linger in the bottom of the valley.
At the "Viper Cross" station, the color of more than thirty magic crystals on the black altar was much darker than a few days ago, which proves that they have consumed more than half of the energy.
The black robe masters chanting spells all over their faces were pale. Apparently, the cold environment and the continuous "calling" made their bodies go down. Now, the wind like Foshan Valley can blow them down slightly.
However, in contrast, Cardinal Goethe's face was faintly a little excited, because after the "summoning" on April 29, the summoning had made breakthrough progress: the "Viper Kiss" A thumb wide crack appeared in the enchantment
According to this progress, the seal enchantment of "Viper's Kiss" can be completely broken in less than a week.
Goethe glanced with satisfaction at the deep weathered rock formations around the uninhabited area hundreds of miles across the Leonards Gorge. Perceived, then in the next few years, "Viper Cross" can definitely compete with it easily, and increasingly grasp the advantages
"Coming soon ... coming soon ..."
The old man stood quietly in front of the altar for a long time, until the hand of reporting the information came down behind him, then slowly turned his head and restrained the spirit in his eyes.
"Master Goethe, the deployment in the Bryll Forest has been basically completed, and those pagans have begun to follow the predetermined route ~ EbookFREE.me ~ then act as planned, if we move fast enough to bring B Kiss and participate in the final battle. "
As a cardinal, Goethe's status within the sect has been regarded as the "core decision-making layer". The current Pope Dazzle has reached an advanced age and his abdication is a matter of several years. This time Goethe was appointed "Calling the Scepter" and " The task of "countering the Rose Cross" is enough to show that the Pope values ​​him-if nothing else, after he lifted the seal of "Viper Kiss" and held it in his hand, the position of the next pope is already It can be called "nails".
That's why he was so excited ... because it won't take long for the religious structure in the kingdom to change dramatically.
The contact with the royal family and several ministers went smoothly.Goethe seemed to have seen a beautiful picture of the future believers all over the Karen Kingdom-his eyes turned to the black stele on the altar.The corner of his mouth raised a hidden arc, and then his ambition was quietly buried in Under the calm face.
