Chapter 99: The Duke's Mania (Part 1)

September 6, Hollier City.
That bard has looked a little busy lately.
In the eyes of Hog's bar owner Hook, such a guy who relies on storytelling all day is very hard-get up early in the morning and eat something, and go back in the evening to tell a few stories in the bar to earn some money Copper coins, and these days have not even returned to the bar ...
Come and go freely and freely, sometimes Hook is a little envious of this casual life, but whenever he has such an idea, he will look down at the fat belly, and feel that he really has no heart to go to the world like the other party Already.
"Still old ..."
Hu Ke uttered a few wild emotions, raised his head and looked out at the sky, and realized that it was noon, thinking about what to eat, and noticed that the group of adventurers who had lived upstairs just came down.
When he saw them, Hook remembered the beautiful girl in a linen robe-hey ... the woman's figure was really hot, and every time he remembered, he felt a fire in the lower abdomen, but thinking of the identity of that girl, he Still quickly suppressed that tempting mind.
Two days ago, the beautiful girl named "Akasha" came to find this group of adventurers, and it seems that her identity is not low. After the meeting of two people, the big man more than two meters tall is right She had a look of awe ...
Hook, who has the ability to "see the words and watch the color," is already full, so at this time he also knows that he can only be sexually explicit. Several adventurers in front of me sat at the wooden table and ordered some food with a stiff accent. The strong man was sitting on a chair like a squat. Hook naturally dare not neglect, and quickly went to Zhang Luo to cook in the kitchen. Then I brought a few glasses of ale that I did n’t dare to mix with water, and I was going to show it in disguise and have a relationship with these guys.
But he didn't think that he was tripped by a bump on the floor under his feet, and the ale glass in his hand was crooked, just spilling out ...
There was not much liquor, but it fell on the short coat on the chest of the bald man.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and Hook immediately noticed that the people in front of him were staring at him, as if they were going to chop themselves up in the next second ... But after two seconds, the other party seemed to realize that they were Without malice, the original tension quietly dissipated again.
The big man didn't talk much. He took a mug of ale and smiled. He took off the outer layer of clothing and motioned for Hook to find a waiter to wash it off. Then he turned to continue chatting with his companions.
Hook was shocked by the cold atmosphere at that moment, but everyone has seen it for so many years. After knowing that the other party is not embarrassing himself, he smiled and walked away, only cursing himself in the heart to make it awkward-just bent over to take it. When I found out that this brawny man in a single coat had a strange tattoo on his chest ...
That seemed to be ... a viper wrapped around a cross.
Little did anyone know the meaning of this sign in Hollier, and Hook did the same. He just glanced and turned back to the bar. He didn't take the pattern seriously. When this group of adventurers left the tavern after dinner, they also said hello to him-presumably to let Hook understand that they didn't take it to heart.
"Oh, that's pretty good ..."
Hook shook his head and mingled for so long. Most of the adventurers have strange temperaments. There are a lot of people who don't like to lift the table. At present these guys look very uncomfortable, but they have a good personality, which is really a little unexpected.
But these things are episodes, and the past is gone. In the afternoon, Roddy shook his head and walked back, humming some songs that Hook had not heard. This relaxed feeling made Huck really envious--
"Hey! Roddy, where have you been these days? It's so leisurely to look so happy all day long!"
"Well, I bought some papers and recently thought of some melodies and wanted to write them down."
Roddy's smile was very bright, and he raised the parchment paper in Yang's hand. "You always say that I don't sing. In fact, because I have sung too much before, I think it ’s still interesting to tell the story. If you want to sing, you have to sing something new. How can anyone help? "
"Don't say, your kid is really full of ghost ideas, bards can do it for you-how can you describe that word?" Hu Ke pursed his lips and tried to imitate the new vocabulary that Roddy taught him that day. : "Bull ... Niu Boyi!"
"It's‘ Niu Niu ’, not‘ Niu Bo Yi ’. You see, my ideal is to be the number one in the bard, Niu Niu.

Roddy usually said these words, took a glass of wine from Hook, raised his head and grunted.
"Regardless of what it is, I'm optimistic about you!" Hook Haha smiled, but he felt that although the boy had no great ambitions, but could tell the story so well, he should not worry about food and clothing in the future, Buy a few decent clothes, it is estimated that those ladies and ahs will be willing to meet you in private, maybe you—boy, if any lady is willing to pay you to tell her a story, do n’t Forgot to give me something good! "
He smiled and snored, and said, "Don't let those noble masters hack me to death. If anyone hunts them down, I'll be the first one to hide from you."
Hook also found that Roddy seemed to be in a good mood today. After asking for a long time, Roddy said that because he finally found the way to break through, he was going to write a "shocking" song Yunyun ... So laugh a few words, Luo Dile went upstairs, and Hook continued to wipe his glass downstairs.
Returning to the room, Roddy confirmed that everything in the house had not been traced by anyone, and knew that his disguise had deceived everyone. He reached out and put the newly purchased stack of parchment paper on the table, and took out the bottle of "Soul Extraction Elixir" from his body and put it next to him. As he stared at it, his thoughts fluttered and settled at Sit there for a long time.
Speaking of which, after accidentally solving the "emergency situation" on Sally's side, the relieved Roddy began to smoothly implement his original plan-sneak into the Duke's Mansion and serve the Duke of Angmar Under antidote.
After returning without success from Moria Manor, he has given the Duke the second time to understand the medicine. According to the way he took it, as long as he can give the other person the last bottle today, it is estimated that this history should have been hung up. Old guy, will recover from the dying state.
and then?
Roddy didn't save him to be Lei Feng. In the player's thinking, the concept of "equivalent exchange" always ranks first. I get as much as I pay—and what Roddie thinks is how to get from the old duke. Earn enough for yourself.
It sounds like his approach is not so "noble", but if you think about it in the actual situation, you know that in this era of crisis, "noble" is usually equal to "naive".
The orc just hung a witch doctor with great potential, and those ambitious guys will sooner or later start with the Karen Kingdom-the undead is not a good stubble, but Rodi knows that although these undead are always holding a "Noble and cold" attitude, but a catastrophe that affected the kingdom a few years later and they were inseparable!
The enemy has never disappeared. Where can I be free to pretend to be "noble"?
But the problem before him made him a little bit upset-he needed to choose the right way to ask for "remuneration."
If the Duke of Angmar wakes up, it is the best way to directly ask for power and money. Before that, he already had a general impression of the old Duke Angmar from Hook's mouth. In a word, this old man Is a good person.
Good to the people, the tax is never high, there is an adjacent lord tossing and bullying the people, he must pull the knight and the team to find each other to fight, and his personality is "protective". The status of being in jail all the time is because of the powerful force and a group of loyal knights under his hands. However, due to the change of personality these years, those knights have been assigned to their Caiyi for casual meals. Today, they are only holding some strength. Poor courtier.
"It's a little harder to go straight in character ..."
Roddy lamented that he didn't believe all the information from Hook-he understood the nature of these nobles in person, and there was never any "good nobleman", only "responsible nobleman". The system was originally the continuous oppression and exploitation of lower levels by the superiors. The benevolence of the lords was cruel enough in the eyes of modern people like Roddy.
Taking a sheet out of the parchment paper and sucking in the quill, Roddy had little interest in writing the score. He thought for a long time and started writing this letter to the old duke.
How to put yourself in a position where you don't hate each other and be vigilant, but can give enough respect, UU reading www.uukanshu. com This is indeed a more difficult topic-
"It's not easy to find backers ..."
Roddy exclaimed.
Also on the evening of September 6, the House of the Dukes of Roussillon.
The Alpha Housekeeper's face has not been so good these days, so that people dare not speak loudly when facing him. Two days ago, a maid was ordered to close the dungeon because he didn't set up the dishes. Such a thing really scared a lot of servants.
The Alpha housekeeper who has served most of his life for the Luxi Fron family has never been so angry, but at this time Earl Francis and Miss Sally were not in the house, and the old duke was very ill, so no one would say him at all No-fortunately, two days later, the housekeeper released the maid and apologized in person. And when things are done this way, people can feel relieved.
However, they can still notice that the housekeeper's mood has not improved in a few days.
Holding the dinner prepared for the Duke of Angmar with both hands, Alpha came to the door of the old duke's house in the same way as before. When he stepped in, his face was still calm and abnormal, but when the door was closed, Alpha ’s A stern look appeared on his face.
"why why why…"
With a low whisper in his mouth, Alpha's footsteps seemed agitated, his frowns tightened, and his footsteps were much faster than usual, but when he entered the bedroom and saw the Duke Angmar sitting motionless at the window, The heart seemed more and more flustered.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Duke of Angmar seems to have been in such a "vegetative" state for the entire five years, but only the Alpha housekeeper has found that he is different from the past in these days-
His "illness" is improving!
