Chapter two hundred and eighteen at sea
Chapter 218 At Sea
The breeze on the sea surface was filled with a faint salty smell, and the breeze blew layers of waves on the calm sea surface. Roddy's hair was raised and the corner of Roddy's clothes was raised.
It even raised his heart.
Roddy stood at the bow of the boat, watching the big ship beneath her feet ride the wind and waves on the sea, and there was a vast sea in front of her.
Roddy could feel the secret messenger of the Kingdom of Sauron standing behind him and looking at him.
That guy was about forties, but Roddy didn't like him very much. After meeting with the imperial capital, at the beginning, the guy had doubts about his age and seemed to think such an important peace talk, but the empire sent a 20-year-old boy as the plenipotentiary representative, which was a bit too much of a joke. But later, Marquis Carolin said to him: "Earl Roddy can definitely represent the empire!" After that, the guy seemed to be pleasing to please him all the time.
Humph, the words of Marquis Garolin can definitely represent the empire. I'm afraid... he still thought he was the emperor's illegitimate son.
Isn't it? The emperor's only son can naturally represent the empire.
This ship does not have any battle flags hanging on it, it is a merchant ship. Nominally, it is a merchant ship belonging to the largest weapon manufacturer of the Guangming Continent "Ruijinfang".
The dozen followers Roddy brought and the men of the Roland messenger were all dressed up as ordinary merchant servants.
After all, there has been no public turn against each other between the temple and the kingdom on the Roland Continent - this peace talks are also a secret!
Secret? Joke!
Roddy sneered in his heart. He didn't think there was any secret in this world! With the influence and power of the Roland Temple in the Roland Continent, the news of the peace talks will soon be known. Speaking of which, there may be a lot of dangers in this peace talks! The temple will not allow the Kingdom and the Empire of Light to negotiate! For their purposes, they will also try their best to destroy the peace talks.
The best way is to assassinate! Kill the messenger of the Empire of Light!
In the palace, Andy discussed with him.
This is also one of the reasons why I sent me to the peace talks. Without strong strength, I would not be able to protect myself against the temple of masters. So after thinking about it, Tianlie, the most powerful person on his side, has to stay in the imperial capital to protect Andy, so I have to let myself go.
"Sir Roddy, the sea breeze outside is very strong, you might as well go in and rest for a while!" The messenger of Roland was filled with a humble smile.
Roddy frowned slightly and whispered: "Didn't I say, please don't call me sir?"
"Ah!" The Rolander was stunned for a moment and still smiled: "Yes, Mr. Roddy, please come in."
Humph, bow down! Roddy shook his head. He knew that this guy was probably secretly scolding him in his heart.
Who said they are weak now? Who said they have something to ask for themselves now?
With such a guy watching from the side, Roddy had no intention of enjoying the sea view anymore. The huge sails on the mast had been raised, and the sea breeze bulged the sails. The sailors in short clothes were busy shouting. Roddy sighed and walked into the cabin in a low voice.
To be fair, that Rolander is a guy who is very good at pleasing people, an excellent slave!
Roddy enjoyed the delicious food he prepared very well. The food of the Rolanders was very different from that of the empire, and those novel things also made Roddy very interested. The only thing that was a bit annoying was that the Roddy was sitting next to him, trying to confuse his words indirectly.
At the beginning, he seemed to want to find out his identity background and origin - a joke. Even an old guy from the Light Empire like Marquis of Carolin didn't know, let alone you are a Rolander?
Then the Rolander man saw that there was no effect, and began to ask himself the terms of the peace talks. Roddy just replied coldly: When I see your king, I will naturally say it!
Fortunately, Roland's population is really good, and he is also a knowledgeable guy. Roddy talked to him about other things about the Roland Continent. Whether it is the Roland people who are proficient in naval battles, or the various terroirs and legends of the Roland Continent, this person is very good at it.
Roddy couldn't help but ask about the legendary monsters that were only available on the Roland continent. After all, he also raised two of them now.
Although the envoy did not understand what the other party asked about this, the king and the prime minister had explained on the way he came, and he had to try his best to satisfy the other party's requests, so he cheered up and tried his best to please him, so he naturally said everything.
It turns out that there is indeed a monster in Roland Continent.
This strange creature has existed from thousands of years ago to today. But now on the Roland Continent, the number of monsters is getting smaller and smaller.
Three hundred years ago, due to the raging of monsters, the Magician Association and the Temple of Roland Continent jointly issued a notice that anyone from Roland Continent who captures and kills monsters can use the Magician Cores to receive bonuses from the Magician Association!
Under such a system, a unique profession of Roland Continent was produced: the witch hunter! There have also been several very powerful masters!
It is said that a hundred years ago, a witch hunter actually reached the level of a paladin!
It was only a hundred years ago that after more than two hundred years of hunting, the number of monsters was getting smaller and smaller, and monsters were no longer found in most areas of the Roland Continent. Now there are only many traces of monsters in the northern mountainous areas of the Sauron Kingdom, and in the northern forest of the Roland Continent. In other areas, there are only occasional news of monster activities, but most of them are rumors.
Another mysterious legend in Roland Continent is the legendary dragon clan!
Dragons are extremely powerful creatures! They have high wisdom and natural body! They are born with special magical abilities of dragon clans.
However, the Dragon Clan's territory is in the extremely cold place on the northernmost part of the Roland Continent.
The temperature in that place is extremely low. It is said that it has to pass through the forest where the monsters are multiplied in the north and then go north to reach it. It is just because of the terror of the dragon clan and the barrier of the monster forest, no one has gone. The dragon clan never takes a step out of their territory.
In the history of Roland Continent, although several large-scale actions of witch hunters "slaying dragons", all of them failed without exception!
Even the most powerful witch hunter dares not provoke the dragon clan again!
It’s just that in the legend, there are some powerful magicians with extraordinary strength, and they have some close contacts with the dragon clan - of course, this is just a legend.
Roddy smiled slightly when he heard this.
Is it just a legend? He couldn't help but take a look at the scimitar on the cabinet behind him!
There is a veritable magic spell of the dragon clan on it! It seems that there are people on the Roland Continent who have contact with the dragon clan, which is true!
Roddy asked a few more questions. After all, he was still very concerned about the legend of the dragon clan - there is a legendary most powerful demon dragon in his body now!
Unfortunately, this Roland messenger didn't know much about these legendary secrets. After all, it was impossible for him to know those things that involved secrets.
However, seeing that the Earl of the Light Empire was interested in these strange things, and in order to please the other party, the envoy told another rumor.
In the inland sea of Roland, there is a large island, and that island can almost be said to be a small land. On that island, the legendary "dwarfs" live!
Seeing Roddy's face showing a suspicious expression, the messenger immediately explained that these dwarves are not legends, but do exist! These dwarves also nominally believe in the Divine Church, so they are recognized by the Rolanders as a legal nation on the Roland continent. The dwarves are naturally shorter than humans, have a bad temper, and like to drink a kind of ale they brew. At the same time, the dwarves are also excellent craftsmen, who are good at creating excellent weapons... etc.
Roddy was not very interested in these things, and couldn't help but stab the other party: "There are dragon clans, monsters, and dwarves. It seems that the Roland Continent is a place where monsters and monsters are mixed."
The messenger's face froze and then smiled concealedly.
Roddy thought for a while and asked about the temple again - especially the current Saint of the Temple Sect in the Kingdom of Sauron! Black Veil!
In fact, after wandering around for a long time, this question was what Roddy really wanted to ask, but she just caught up with this big circle for fear of the other party’s suspicion.
Sure enough, the messenger immediately showed a vigilant expression on his face, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Earl, why are you asking about this? Now our relationship with the temple..."
Roddy glanced slightly and knew that the other party was afraid that he would secretly contact the temple and that he would be afraid of what conspiracy and tricks the Empire of Light used against them.
"Don't worry, I just heard that the Black Veil Saint in the Kingdom of Sauron is the most powerful of the thirteen Saints in the temple of the Roland Continent! This time I went to your Kingdom of Sauron, and I was worried that I would meet this guy, so of course I have to ask clearly!"
The Rolander was obviously relieved and smiled: "It seems that your news is indeed very informative! This saint of black veil is indeed the most powerful saint in the temple of Roland! Although she is a young woman, she has been cultivated to the level of a great cultivator in the legend! Her strength is as powerful as a paladin!"
Speaking of this, a strange smile appeared on Roland's face and lowered his voice: "Although this saint of black veil is covered with a veil all day long, it is rumored that she is a stunning beauty..."
He showed a fascinated expression in his eyes, but he was not careful that Roddy's face had already sunk and he snorted coldly.
The Rolander shivered for a moment, quickly adjusted his face, and continued: "But this saint of black veil doesn't seem to like to care about things on weekdays, especially now, he doesn't show up very much... Alas, I heard that when I was in the temple, several senior knights in the temple loved her. Finally, the saint of black veil agreed to the proposal of Paladin Fielding. I heard that I was going to marry the Paladin after the practice of the Saint of Black veil was over in the Kingdom of Sauron. It's a pity..."
"What a pity?"
The Rolander smacked his lips and smiled, "It's a pity that things were wrong later. The Saint of Black Veil suddenly ignored Lord Fielding a year ago. I heard that Lord Fielding ran to see her from the temple, but was blocked by her from the temple. The Saint of Black Veil threw down a magic stick given by Lord Fielding from the steps in public."
"oh?"
The Rolander saw that the Count seemed to be very interested in this topic, and even cheered up his spirits and said what he knew: "That magic staff was the engagement token given to the Saint by Lord Fielding back then. It was said that the Saint agreed to the Paladin's proposal, which was also the meaning of the Temple Elder. The magic staff was also given to the Temple Elder for Lord Fielding, and asked him to give it to the Saint of Black Veil."
"Hmph!" Roddy's face darkened when she heard this, and she felt a little unhappy.
The Rolanders were startled and said something wrong. They made the big man unhappy. Then they heard Roddy say coldly: "You elders of the Roland Temple are strange. They actually care about this kind of thing!"
"Haha, isn't it? But the love between the Saint and the Paladin was a beautiful conversation at that time! But in fact...hehe"
"What actually?" Roddy couldn't help asking.
The Roland man smiled slightly: "Actually, I heard that there are other things here. I heard that because of the promotion of the Paladin of Fielding and the Saint of the Black Veil, the Paladin of Fielding was grateful to the elder and asked the elder to be his godfather! And that elder, the current chief elder of the temple!"
"Oh!" Roddy's eyes lit up! Is there such a thing?
Humph, OK! In order to win over a paladin, I actually used this trick - it seems that the descendant of this family is not a simple religious fanatic, but he has such deep scheming!
"What happened later?" Roddy continued to ask with a smile.
"Later, what happened that day came out. The Saint of the Black Veil not only threw out the magic staff that Lord Fielding gave that year, but also prevented him from seeing him! The dignified Paladin stood outside the hall of the Divine Cult in the Kingdom of Sauron and refused to let him in... Haha!!! Later, it was said that the two of them had a small fight, but it seemed that our Saint of the Black Veil had killed the Paladin away!" The Roland smiled proudly: "I heard that the Saint of the Black Veil told the Paladin that day that he had never loved him! The Paladin later ran to the Light Continent..." When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking, his face a little strange and seemed a little embarrassed.
Roddy smiled slightly: "Later I heard that he ran to the continent of Light and was defeated by Duke Tulip, right?"
"Yes." The Rolanders breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the two families are now discussing peace, and it is always a bit awkward to bring up war.
Roddy thought for a while and asked again: "Has that Paladin of Fielding returned to the temple?"
"I heard that yes, but Lord Fielding didn't show up after he went back, and seemed to be burying his head in practice."
Roddy smiled slightly: "It's pretty good. You know how to be shameless and then brave. That's because you want to seek revenge on Duke Tulip after practicing." He paused, and was about to ask how the Black Veil was in the Kingdom of Sorens, when he suddenly heard a loud bang, and then the hull shook violently twice.
All the food on the table was spilled on the ground, and the Roland man couldn't help but fell on the floor.
Chapter completed!
