Vol 2 Chapter 452: Jealous

Chapter 452 Envy
"It's all now, they are still carrying the price of food, which is disgusting."
Sally exhaled softly, trying to calm herself down--but when she thought of the nobles who were always facing her, she was angry, but it was useless, but in desperation, she had to open a few letters to divert her attention .
The first few letters were sent by the sect, because Sally became the Duke of the Territory and concurrently held the position of sect priest, so now the "Rose Cross" attaches great importance to her identity, plus the bishop of Rubens and Bishop Benjamin Support, she is now a lot higher than the "priest". But this status also gave her some responsibilities, but she had a lot more concerns.
The letter reported in detail the recent weird movement of the "Viper Cross", Sally couldn't help sighing after seeing it, and said to herself, "What else can the royal family do? It's really hopeless!"
"Viper Cross" should have suffered a great deal of vitality after the blow of the last war, but three months later, it began to live in various areas, and even began to recruit religious members in the southeast territory of the Kingdom boldly-if there is no The "Royal Family" secretly manipulated, Sally did not believe that they dare to be so arrogant!
Balance, balance, the kingdom is full of scars, how do you still think about taking full power, it is unreasonable!
With a higher status and more information, the intentions of the top classes in the kingdom become clearer-but the more so, the more disappointed she is ... because when you look at it, the whole kingdom is like the sun that is about to set. Heavy.
"Miss, this is news from the east. They don't seem to intend to compromise with regard to the ownership of the Baska mine."
Listening to John's mention of "The Baska Mine", Sally narrowed her eyes immediately and exacerbated her voice: "Then continue to stand with them, that was originally within the territory of Everta. Now that I know there are mines, I start bullying Me, really when I am muddy? "
This is the most recent concern for Sally, because someone found a "Furser Silver Mine" on the edge of the immediate territory of Everta, so several big aristocrats in the next territory took it seriously and bullied Sally with a quasi-idea. Li was young and weak, so she had to take a slice of it—and the reason why Sally didn't let it die was simple: Roddy wanted to develop his army without these ore raw materials.
It doesn't matter if you lose yourself, you have to give Roddy something ... no point!
"The mine must be done, and you must tell me if there is any new news."
She waved her hand vigorously.
"Yes, miss."
Sally's methodical manner of processing information sighed to the butler John, the solemn appearance really had the style of his father Duke Angmar.
Everta is really a successor!
But the idea just came out, and a scream scared John almost to the ground ...
The Duchess, who was sitting on the side, took the last letter and jumped up from the chair as if it was an electric shock. Then she flushed and began to run around, saying "Hurry up and find someone. I want to change it. Hair style, what about John? Go iron my favorite cloak, and prepare the ingredients for the dinner. The time may be within five days. Don't choke! "
"Miss, this is ..."
"That bad guy is finally coming back!"
Sally threw the lady away completely, ran out of the study, and saw John and the maids stunned.
At the same moment, the "bad guy" in Sally's mouth was sitting in the banquet, chatting with the aristocracy.
It has been eleven days out of the "Brave Corridor". Since entering the border of the Karen Kingdom, Roddy has quickly sent a few letters to report his safety. Now the team hastened to hurry and did not rest much along the way until it arrived at the Burgh Parish. Just rested and rested for two days on the spot.
But even so, Roddy and Soderlor were not at all idle: visiting Archbishop Benjamin, sending his carefully selected staff, and incidentally contacting feelings, these are things that must be done as their "lord" .
To this day, Benjamin also deliberately held a "Farewell Banquet". It is reasonable to say that this temperature is not suitable for large-scale banquets, but the diocese of the parish is in a difficult situation. Rodi finally did not shirk and went with Soderol feast.
There are eight lords in the parish of Bogdo, and five of them are present. This also proves that Benjamin's position in the parish is stable.
"I thought you would return earlier, but I didn't expect to drag it till now," Benjamin said with emotion. "Today is mainly to see you off. The banquet is a bit tacky, but such a gesture is still to be done. After all, this set of rules is laid out. It's not good to jump too far. "
In fact, this is also a kind of political connection and expression. To make it simpler is to tell others that they are in a team with Roddy and Soderlor, so that they have less trouble and more opportunities for cooperation.
Bishop Benjamin, who has not been seen for a long time, is now full of spirits and looks younger than before. Power is sometimes more useful than divine magic. In his current state, Roddy feels that it is not a luxury to move to the "Bishop" in ten years.
"Politics is so vain, I really don't like it very much." Roddy smiled and raised his glass, because it was a banquet held by the monastery, so the glass was full of juice. "But I see that except you are friendly to me, those The guys don't look good to me? "
This is actually a very obvious thing. The three of Roddy seemed to be crowded out everywhere in the venue. Except for the people in the monastery who were willing to chat a few words, the other a dozen nobles of all sizes were almost in a "cold look" state, talking to themselves. Fiery.
"Well, did you get Parr Leader?"
"Yeah." Roddy nodded, and then suddenly realized: "Oh ... I said what's going on, patronizing the road, I almost forgot this stubble."
The hoarding of firewood grain by his own unknown prophet was arranged half a year ago. By now, it is estimated that those goods have been emptied. Not to mention the role of "lowering the average price", in terms of actual benefits, he definitely made a lot of money-the exact amount is not known at present, but the settlement of Elson City and Parr two to three years The financial problem is absolutely nothing to worry about.
From another perspective, they swallowed so many gold coins in one go, and other nobles were not jealous.
Knowing this, Roddy really understood more when he looked around-speaking, the hostility of this group of aristocrats did not focus on themselves, but generally aimed at Soderol ... the reason is not difficult to guess: The lord of the "Paarl collar" in the firm's name was Soderol.
In the eyes of the nobles, the name "Roddy" does not seem to have much sense of existence, so Soderol lays a few shots firmly.
While talking about this topic, Soderlor just sat down with a gloomy face and muttered, "What's going on with this group of people? I all wonder if they are drinking any metamorphic potions. One by one is yin and yang ... A guy asked me how my territory was developing. I said I had n’t returned to my territory for half a year. What happened? They said I was hypocritical! What's the matter with this? "
Roddy explained with a bitter smile, and Soderall understood it and complained: "Goddess Siqi is up, no, I want to apply for compensation, I have to get a better shield."
"You can choose whatever you want."
Roddy was absolutely generous on this, and after chatting with Soderol, he suddenly looked for a few seconds and stopped for a few seconds, then asked Benjamin: "The second bearded man from the left, and Who is the thin man with a smirk next to him? "
"Both of them? Oh, Viscount Anru and Count Borach, two 'big lords' in the parish of Bogdo." Benjamin raised his eyebrows. "Why asked them suddenly?"
"Maybe it's not pleasing to me, and I've been discussing how to make me learn a lesson."
"Environmental keenness" is not a sham, and what the other party said was that Rody could listen to it all the way through. But to be honest, Roddy wasn't interested in their petty tricks, so he smiled and completely ignored them. Sodroll was beside him, too lazy to say anything extra.
Benjamin has a deep understanding of Roddy's ability. Naturally, he does not think that they can pose a threat to Roddy, but only added: "These two people do not usually give sect face, this time it is estimated that it is for you. It is also a coincidence. The territory of the two of them is very close to Everta. In the past, there was still some friction between each other, but recently it seems that they are discussing cooperation, but I don't know exactly what they are doing. "
"The cold weather is still tossing, it really doesn't stop."
"Gold coins are the last word. They don't care about their lives. Alas, the nobles are still thinking about making money, but because of this weather, the whole village has become a bandit, let alone eat it. Some even treat people as food ... "
In a few words, the Bishop's words revealed the cold reality behind the glorious banquet, which made Roddy inexplicably heavy: Now these drunk and aristocratic nobles do not know. In the near future, this country will soon experience a disaster more terrible than snow and ice ...
It wasn't long before the banquet with a bad atmosphere came to an end, but Benjamin quietly gave Roddy two books before leaving-to his surprise ... this turned out to be Rev. Bright's advanced skill book and ~ www. EbookFREE.me ~ Requires: Holy Priest Advanced Level 10

"The staff you gave me yesterday, I guess I can be a heirloom, this is a gift."
In the face of Roddy's doubtful eyes, Benjamin smiled and didn't explain it too much-the actual reason was that he didn't want to say it ... the war is coming, and these things at the bottom of the box are better left to him than to himself Useful.
Compared with those aristocrats who only knew jealousy, the old bishop who spoke with action made Roddy feel very moved. However, he was not in the mood to compare with those nobles. When the orcs invaded and the undead approached, humans would eventually stand in the same trench.
At least ... Rodi thinks so.
