In this world, "money", "prestige" or "happiness" and "happiness" can all be obtained through hard work, but no matter how hard "time" is, you cannot catch it.

When he was a child, his father walked through the gate with a silver armor still vividly remembered. More than ten years have passed, and although the scenery of Hollier City has not changed much, the father in front of him has entered his twilight years, and is about to step into that frightening darkness.

Sally thought she was strong enough to ignore everything, but at this time, she was fragile and vulnerable in the face of "time".

"Just stay with me, Rose Cross, can there be any big thing to find you?" Angmar smiled and gently drew away Sally's tears. "Some big things happened in the territory during this time … Well, remember that when you were a kid, you liked to quarrel and listen to bards tell stories. What was your favorite time?

"Song of‘ Nibelungen, Father. ”

Sally held Angmar's cold hands and replied nicely.

"Yes, I still remember when you always asked me if I could defeat the dragon." Angmar closed her eyes slightly, remembering her daughter's entanglement when she was a child, and laughed: "You were only four years old at that time, it was a matter of time He said that whoever can defeat the dragon, you will marry who you are, right? "

"I didn't know what a dragon was at that time, I thought it was a little bit better than the wolf in the forest."

Sally still remembers these clips, wiped the tears on her face, and replied with a smile, "Father, don't sell anything. What happened to the territory?"

"Someone really ... killed a dragon."

"How is that possible?" Sally didn't believe it at all, but then watching her father's expression was not a joke, she asked hesitantly: "True, true? Who is so powerful? Haven't heard of a dragon in the territory ... even None of Yalong. "

"The whereabouts of the dragons are not something we can spy on, but the result is here, and I have nothing to say-the dragon's body is reflected in the village of Elsa."

"The village of Elsa? The dragon-slaying ... is ..."

Sally's smile suddenly froze on her face.

"Who else besides him?" The Duke did not notice his daughter's expression, gently hammered his leg, and whispered, "Count how many things he has done in the past year, how many enemies have been defeated? It seems like Tu It's not surprising that something like Dragon happened to him. "

"By the way, at Rodi in‘ Temple, stay with you for a while? ”

"Well, but then he has a hurry, so ... first leave."

Sally tried to calm her tone, but she was contradictory ... Father knew that he liked Roddy, and he had never opposed such a relationship, but how can he explain to him now that he had a fight with Roddy?

Will Roddy forgive himself after leaving like that?

Such a fissure in the relationship can't really be remedied in a few words. For the first time, Sally has no confidence in herself, and in the face of Angmar, she doesn't want to let him have any loss and sadness.

So she chose to conceal— "He told me to get busy with Elson City and come to me when I'm done."

"Young people, always busy. The city he found is really good, but ..."

Angmar then sighed softly: "It stands to reason that there should not be such a strange number in the kingdom."

"If fifteen years earlier, I must be the first one to think about eradicating him. But now—the times have changed, internal and external problems have also made the kingdom's stable situation no longer exist. I must fully support him, because if not, Ai Stupa may just be a ruin. "

Sally never thought that her father would evaluate Roddy in this way, but she later understood the reason: a "rookie" with military power, resources and a heavy city is an extremely dangerous existence for the old rulers. Because no one knows if such a guy would choose to annex everything.

"The Luxi Fron family couldn't fall away," Angmar sighed as she watched Sally. "My biggest regret in my life is that I haven't seen the birth of new members of the family."

Suddenly, Sally held her breath, and she understood what her father meant—the older generation would most like to see their children and grandchildren carry forward their family business, but Angmar has lost this opportunity forever.

He has no chance to see the next generation of the family.

The atmosphere between father and daughter was silent, and a few seconds later, Angmar asked tentatively, "Do you ... think Roddy is right?"

Finally, I still asked.

Sally felt a tingling in her heart, but shy expression on her face: "I, I think it's useless ..."

"Just call him and ask? Rodi the Dragon Slayer, oh, this guy is destined to be a legend in the future."

Angmar didn't notice the strangeness of his daughter, and his laughter was very bright. Although he couldn't see the scene of the children and grandchildren, all this was going in the direction he expected, which was enough.

June 30.

For the Viper Cross, although the battle in the Bryll Forest has been a complete victory, they have undoubtedly become the most loser in this war.

The casualties of the soldiers were not a concern, but the loss of the "Viper's Kiss" scepter made the Pope angry-the scepter that was awakened by countless manpower and material resources was actually taken away by a group of unknown people in the battle. And afterwards, he went back to the "Temple" in peace.

Such a thing, speaking out, seems to be slap in the face, sucking loudly on the Pope's face.

The scepter placed in the "temple" is difficult to regain, even the Pope of the "Viper Cross" gave up hope for a time. But today, undercover in the rosy of the "Rose Cross" came the news that the pope rekindled hope ...

The "Viper's Kiss" Scepter has been "activated" by an unknown priest.

For the Pope who understands the "Viper's Kiss", the conscious artifact will "choose" the user, even if it is as powerful as Cardinal Goethe, he will not be able to exert his power without being recognized by the artifact .

From the historical record of "Viper Cross", every user recognized by "Viper Kiss" will be the "savior" who will push the sect to the peak.

But what does it mean when the scepter recognizes a "Rose Cross" priest?

At a time when most people feel "ridiculous" about this, the Pope sees it as an "opportunity"-a machine that can really disintegrate or rebuild the "Rose Cross"

So after confirming the news, the "Viper Cross", which had been dormant again, finally made a new action.

With the Pope's order, a ten-member squad left the eastern border of the kingdom in this way and headed towards Efta in the northwest.

Inside the Tower of Pashaar, Elson City, June 31.

"Temperature control inside the building? This method does, but ... I don't think it's necessary."

Within Pashare's Tower, Camilla, who has already adapted to the role of "assistant", looked at Roddy in amazement and wondered: "I think the first batch of spar manufactured is used to open the building law of equipment manufacturing Would be more appropriate. For dry temperature control ... Isn't this a complete waste of energy for an empty city? "

Wearing a red robe, she now had a "strong woman" taste, which made Roddy feel like meeting a "strong female colleague" in the office—although he was nominally the city owner and Camilla was a subordinate, but When confronted with a problem, Camilla always strives to argue based on reason, and is full of momentum.

"It's a waste to live without people, but if people live, this energy is saving lives."

"Help? I don't understand what you mean."

Camilla frowned, as if Roddy had to make it clear, "Will it be full here this winter? Unless Evta undergoes large-scale migration, this situation will never happen."

"You talk about ideas."

Roddy passed a plan written in advance. "The specific reasons are here. If you do n’t know what to tell me at any time, it is best to prepare these before winter arrives ... Can our city be as soon as possible? Development, in one fell swoop. "

"This ..." After a quick glance at the proposal, Camilla showed a few surprised expressions, but shook her head: "This is not a sure thing at all, how can you plan as an established fact?"

"You forgot what I gave you?"

Roddy couldn't explain his abilities of the unknown prophet, and made a cover: "It was the shadow dragon who told me that she would not be bored to lie."

Although this explanation was far-fetched, Camilla reluctantly accepted it after thinking about it, and then the two began to explore other issues-as a researcher of arcane genius and knowledgeable high elf culture, Camilla was in These days I have met Roddy again.

Because she had never seen anyone with such a "weird" thought.

Ordinary lords never develop their forces vigorously, because that means "poor soldiers and fighters", and they will starve to death in a short time; nor will they suddenly engage in "adventure teams" because the rate of return for such things is too high Low ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ If a lord does both of these things, it seems that he is trying to kill himself.

However, this is how Roddy has developed his own territory in the future: use "pf" to stimulate the growth of resources and wealth, lay a good foundation for "pp", and use war to support war in the future chaos and accelerate development.

pp takes Soderol as the core, recruits and conducts basic training in Parr, and provides equipment, advanced training, and transfers from Elson City.It aims to build the most powerful combat troops, no longer need to care Anything else.

And p is a little more complicated, but to put it plainly is the "mining" idea: the pf team with Roddy as the core specifically wastes some copies or areas with scarce resources, and establishes a trade hub similar to "Elsa Village", with "less "Investing in multiple returns" approach to earn a lot of resources and funds, and strive to improve the level and strength of top teams, laying a solid foundation for comprehensive development.

This may sound a little nonsense, but it is actually the operating structure of several very large "players' guilds" in "Cracked Soil". Fortunately, Roddy had a little understanding, so he copied it directly at this time as a "rapid development" development policy-although it is difficult to maintain for too long, within three years, such a plan is definitely more important than step-by-step land recruitment. Much more effective.
