125. Chapter 125 On why nerds live alone all their lives
When asked this question, all the scouts, including Soderol, were shaking their heads. Roddy was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized: wine is a noble drink, not sold in a shop at all, and asking them is a waste of time.
"I don't know the price, but when it comes to wine, there seems to be some news from Butler Anderson that the grape harvest this year is not good. It seems that because the rain is too heavy, Keege Town will probably be affected."
“This is useful news.”
Roddy nodded. The team had entered the Campbell area at this time. The tall buildings around it began to become low and dark. The torch used for lighting on the walls disappeared here. Fortunately, Carter was prepared and volunteered to walk in front with a torch. Following Roddy's instructions, he looked for several cheap hotels, and then asked the scouts to place horses for food and accommodation.
Just as Roddy was about to enter the hotel, two temple guards in the distance were holding torches and turned from the corner of the street. He turned his head in confusion, wondering why he saw the "Rose Cross" manpower here, and the "sharp environment" made him quickly draw a conclusion from the other party's conversation:
“Where have you gone?”
"It should be there!"
"It's a fork, look for it separately!"
I think they came here to track down the escaped pagans. Roddy looked at the two temple guards who were gradually walking away, but a message suddenly popped up in his heart: the third step of "The Fall of Priest Nilda" was to go to a hidden secret passage in the city to find clues - the original function of this secret passage seemed to be built "Virgate Cross" for evacuation.
The task line of "The Fallen Priest Nilda" is very long. At first, the person who investigated was "Nilda" himself. As the investigation deepened, you will find that he had an affair with the "Viridian Cross". After more than ten steps, you will learn that it even involved the undead forces... Roddy will not mention these complicated things for the time being. The only thing he is interested in is that the secret passage is now a "way to make money"!
Because the "Viridian Cross" people were in a hurry to build, and there were basically traces of various stones and debris left in the secret passage, so the players who came here to investigate the mission chain could find many scattered "crack crystal stones" in the secret passage - this was the "mission reward" at the beginning. Although it was just a low-level processing material, the rare thing was expensive. When the level was generally not high, this kind of thing could be sold for a lot of money by putting together a certain amount.
Recalling the embarrassment of being short of money and about to go bankrupt, Roddy almost immediately made up his mind to do it, so after confirming that his subordinates were full of two hotels, Roddy immediately called Ruger and Sodlor.
"Get a few cloth bags and find a tool that can dig things. The best mine pickaxe, bring a torch and come with me."
After the order was arranged briefly, Roddy himself found several pockets. Because he was worried about meeting a pagan who had escaped here, he also instructed: "By the way, don't forget to bring weapons, you may encounter a battle."
"What are you doing?"
"Make some extra money."
"Extra money?"
"Suddenly I remembered that there might be valuable things in a place. Let's take advantage of the darkness to make some money, and it will probably be gone in the future."
Roddy and walked in front, Carter and Soderol followed behind, and the three of them took a total of six or seven large pockets. Ruger borrowed a shovel from the hotel owner, Soderol took a torch, and Roddy carried a short bow and a scimitar, and walked towards the task location they remembered.
The road along the way was pitch black, and I encountered two temple guards in the middle. One of them was asked if I had seen a pagan. The three of them naturally shook their heads. Then they continued to walk for five or six minutes. While chatting, the group came to an abandoned house near the wall in Campbell District.
At this time, I didn't see any pagans, and the three of them relaxed, and the things they talked about were casual:
"…What do Ruger wants to do in the future? Cavalry captain? Or infantry?"
"It's okay to ride a horse and fight, but if I lead the team, I don't think I can bring many people. Such a scout team is almost my limit."
"Well, I probably understand what you mean, a suitable team... performs special tasks or something."
Roddy talked about their future career plans and thought about what to offer these guys to change jobs. Veterans like Ruger who have outstanding personal abilities than other soldiers are most willing to do on the front line of battle. It is better to let him herd sheep than to let him stand behind the battlefield to command. With such characteristics, Roddy has gradually had some ideas in his mind.
"Where is Soderol? Have you encountered any problems recently?"
"There are not many problems, mainly because I feel that swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve." He continued bluntly: "No one in the scout team is as strong as me. If you fight with you, the way you are going is really not suitable for practice."
This is true. Although Roddy now has the advantage of attributes that can crush Soderol, if he, a person who follows the Berserker route, will definitely be a big problem for weapon loss.
"Well, I will consider this. When we get to the place, let's do the main business first."
Roddy stopped and identified the surrounding buildings - because it was 588 and some details were different from 590, so he frowned and thought for a moment, finally confirmed the room with a secret passage and walked over.
Soderol held the torch in his left hand and had already drawn out his sword in his right hand. Ruge stood at the end of the team tacitly, turning around and paying attention to the shadow of the building behind him. When they came to the door of the house, Roddy suddenly stopped: "Wait..."
The improvement in smell brought by "sharp environment" made him smell a faint smell of blood, which immediately made him feel alert. Soder even noticed footprints that were almost impossible to distinguish not far from the door - "Someone has come, and the traces should be within today's."
He bent down, reached out to wipe the floating soil, and continued: "The traces have changed here - it seems that he is trying to cover it... No, this is not a cover, this man crawled in!"
Although Roddy could also identify traces, he could not infer such a detailed thing. After hearing Sodlor's words, he frowned and slowly kicked open the wooden door with his feet with doubt.
The arrows that had already been on the archery platform were aimed at the front, ready to kill any target that popped out at any time, and even listened to all the movements around him. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that if someone entered the room, he probably had escaped by the secret passage at this time and would not have been waiting for anyone to attack anyone here.
Opening the "Peripheral Environment Status Bar", Roddy quickly found the secret passage behind the fireplace. However, when he walked closer, the smell of blood in the air suddenly became rich - the faces of several people were a little strange. Roddy thought for a while, opened the "Peripheral People Status Bar", picked up the torch and scimitar and walked down the first: "Ruge stood guard at the door, closed the door outside, and Soderol followed me."
After saying that, he walked down the narrow downhill that could not be straightened.
At this time, it was only two minutes before Akasha fell into the secret passage. It can even be said that as soon as she rolled down, Roddy pushed open the door outside.
So before Roddy took a few steps, he saw Akasha lying in a pool of blood.
"What's going on?"
Because he could directly see the blood groove displayed above the surrounding tasks in front of him, he immediately knew that the other party had no ability to resist, because the remaining 5% of the blood and serious injury displayed above the other party's body all meant that the other party was dying...
"This level is a bit familiar."
Roddy illuminated Akasha's body with a torch. The first thing she saw was her right arm with a strange angle after the fracture, and then a large piece of blood that was almost completely soaked in her back!
"Internal injury? What's the situation?"
Akasha was lying on the ground, so Roddy took some effort to break her face, which had been stained with a lot of dust. After a closer look, he immediately remembered that this woman he had seen before!
It was at the entrance of Pig Head Bar. This woman of extremely high rank seemed to be the leader of several pagans. When the assassination occurred today, she seemed to be at the scene. Roddy was far away and did not hear anything between her and Bishop Rubens, so at this time he immediately regarded Akasha as a pagan who had "attempted to escape".
"Who?"
Soderol frowned behind him, feeling that it was a bit strange that a half-dead woman appeared in such a place. The sword in his hand had even been pulled out. In his vision, Roddy was holding a woman with extremely seductive figure with both hands. Because of the light, Akasha's pale cheeks showed a lovable temperament. No matter how you look at it, they were all a top beauty...
But when Roddy looked at her face with her hands, she then let go of the trash. Akasha's "bang" face was hit on the ground. The sound and scene made Soderol's mouth twitch and his eyebrows raised. When he raised his head, he found that Roddy seemed to have no interest in taking a look. He said as he walked: "Just pagan, I'm seriously injured and waiting to die. We don't have to worry about her. Just wait for death if you die. Just drag the body to the monastery..."
The following sentence "I guess I can change my reputation" was naturally something Soderol couldn't understand. After saying that, Roddy seemed to have directly treated Akasha as a piece of wood and walked over her, and did not forget to turn around and signal Soderol to follow up-"Here, what we are looking for is inside, take the pocket, by the way, throw the shovel over to me..."
Soderol's eyebrows hopped straight at the woman who was almost silent. He really felt that Roddy's idea was really weird... After all, that's a person, how could he throw it away as an object and ignore it?
In fact, Roddy was not very interested in the life and death of such a high-level pagan - stories like "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf", "Farmer and Snake" are not intimidating. He was not interested in treating and influencing a madman with a "vibrator cross". It was already a bit of kindness and compassion in his "modern" character without making a knife at the first time.
Soderol looked at Akasha who was dying and held the torch and looked at him. He was cautious in his personality and finally asked, "Do you want to search her?"
"It's okay to search now. Look at the ignition, I'll look here first."
Roddy lowered her head and looked for traces of crystal on the ground, with a look of wealth that only players have - or the otaku who is "lonely for life", and has no interest in Akasha, who is standing tall next to her.
"The river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are simultaneous to the Big Dipper... Hey, there are really!"
