From the rebirth till now, Roddy always judged everything based on his own memories. The memory of the once "Roddy" were basically ignored by him, so when something that seems to be taken for granted is noticed again, only then did Roddy discover that the consequences of the minor differences might have been unexpected.

    Children of the old Duke Lucifron?

    Roddy knew Duke Francis and although he is still an "Earl" in the mouths of these soldiers, in the memory of “Roddy”, he is someone who hates a traitor like an itchy tooth-

    But when the orcs invaded instead of organizing an effective resistance, this bastard has betrayed his country for glory, directly leading to the fall of Houllier!

    Francis's betrayal led to his capture and got hanged by the insurgents. When this guy's body was later hung in front of the square, it even attracted the cheers of countless people-knowing that the aristocracy was being executed but at the time of the execution of Duke Francis, none of the parties within the empire raised voice. Because Viscount Francis even colluded with the orcs and betrayed his people, just to be able to control the power of the territory alone!

    Suddenly his memory became clear at this time and Roddy remembered the NPC conversations around the time when he was trying to level off the sub-profession skills in Houllier City.

    At that time, the civilians at the streets were complaining that Duke Francis was charging too much tax. He often missed the old duke. At that time, many people analyzed that Duke Francis seemed to have done a lot of despicable actions in order to obtain the title of his father.

    What has he done ...

    Roddy squints his eyes and pondered, shifting the breach to the "duke's daughter". In the soldier's mouth-he vaguely remembered that a leatherworking master was in charge before Houllier fell completely. When he gave a player a task, he always thinks about how beautiful and pure the old Duke's daughter was at that time and he will also assign some tasks which will go to the slums to distribute some bread and food because the tanning master accepted this in the slums that year. The gift of an old Duke's daughter has been remembered for many years.

    Where did she go?

    Thinking of this, Roddy suddenly felt a nervousness with a rapid heartbeat—the fog of memory gradually dissipated as he gradually remembered... Roddy suddenly remembered the words of the leatherworking master: "It's really unfortunate to say... Miss Sally, two years and a half ago died because of an orc attack on Finks Village..."

    Suddenly, Roddy felt a thunderclap in his mind!

    The clues gradually pieced together, the words in his memory surfaced and Roddy couldn't help but combine the content of the letter to get a very possible inference...

    The orcs' next move... Is it just related to the death of the old duke's daughter?

    Is it the village of Finks that they are attacking?

    As soon as this thought appeared, a few pieces of memory flashed again in his memory: "Francis tried to steal the Duke's position", "The old Duke's death was planned", "The kingdom the aristocracy had secretly colluded with the orcs" and other information made him more sure of his assumptions. Judging from Francis' mean character, this traitor will surely clear everything that hinders his path before he truly assumes power-even if the other party is his own sister!

    And what if he stopped his conspiracy? Will Houllier City survive the fall?

    The thought came out of his mind uncontrollably and Roddy frowned again.

    If he could, he would never miss an opportunity to change history. If all this matches his own guess, then Roddy's work was not difficult. It was enough to stop the Old Duke's daughter from going to Finks Village... As for the rest…

    "Roddy?"

    Seeing Roddy remained silent for a long time, the soldier who had spoken before asked softly which made his return to the present immediately, his expression became extremely serious instantly and he turned around and ordered: "Notify everyone to gather immediately, we have a new task. "

    " Eh. Yes! "

    Although he didn't understand why Roddy issued this order, Roddy's yesterday’s actions and the prestige in his voice made him immediately follow the instructions and turned to run inside the village.

    Roddy wasn't idle too, he thought about it and ran around the village and finally got two clean parchments from an old man who had been a clerk at the manor, borrowed a quill and some stick. The thick ink wrote two orthodox letters—one of which was Ensign Sordin and the other was Anderson, the housekeeper of Nolan Village.

    Next, he narrowed his eyes, diluted the ink and scribbled the grass sandpaper letter with a quill pen and wrote the vague and scribbled "Finch Village" in Orcish language.

    Roddy cleared his thoughts when he decided on his course of action. He first had to confirm whether Miss Sally was really going to Finks Village. If so, then the probability that this incident coincided with the disaster in her memory was more than 90%-if not, these forged letters can give him a good reason to pretend.

    The function of the "ranger" profession contains some of the "intelligence" expertise, so Roddy was familiar with the official rhetoric. It was natural to falsify these letters.

    As for "Finks Village", Roddy did not go there before rebirth. In his impression, there was a ruin there when the game was launched. The NPC only mentioned that there was no more a village there because of the orc attack and there was only a ruin after the fire. However, to tell the specific location of Finks Village, "Roddy’s" memory told him that it was less than 30 kilometers away from Nolan Village.

    Thinking of it this way, he still has a chance to stop this from happening.

    After everything was ready, all the teams had arrived except the wounded. Except for the two who were sent to notified other villages previously and the original wound, at this time, the whole team plus Roddy had a total of nine people, although they were slightly tired. But everyone was ready to fight at any time.

    "The orcs may attack Finks village tomorrow," said Roddy, without talking nonsense. He raised the letter that he had just written. "This is a letter from Lieutenant Sordin to prove that we are legally conducting cross-region inspections. Everyone, is there a problem? "

    Ruger certainly understands his hand letter is false and yet do could understand why Roddy called on these people out for no reason. He answered: "No problem, sir."

    The veteran was now completely subdued by Roddy and even had some blind trust.

    Carter and the rest of the soldiers followed Ruger's answer and Roddy didn't say much anymore. He took the group directly to the horses and rushed towards the Finks village without a word-at this time the evening had passed and the sky was dark.

    "Really. Can you change history?"

    Roddy stared blankly at the distant horizon but his heart was not calm.

    ...

    Taking the city of Houllier as the center, the name of the dominion of the Lucifron family was "Efta". The size of the territory and the abundance of resources made the Duke's words almost not weaker than the king in the southeast.

    Francis Lucifron was the eldest son of the old Duke Angmar, who was just twenty years old in the 588th Elon and had the title of Earl.

    Using Roddy's criteria for judging players, his basic occupation was "Noble’s Son" which was different from attributes of "Legion Soldier", which is the added value to intelligence. In the advanced stage, it is best to choose "element magician" for this profession. This is a secret profession that only a few people can do and now Francis, who is quite talented has reached the threshold of being able to advance to the next profession-that is, the level of "Noble Son" level 10. The "Elemental Master" title is a truly advanced profession.

    If the situation is true, then at this time he is almost a mountain to the 2nd Legion soldier Roddy.

    Francis is a standard heir in the eyes of others-well-behaved and knowledgeable. At the ball, banquet or private party in the city, you can always see this young master talking and laughing with other people. The Qi field progressed quickly under the instruction of a private magic teacher at a young age. Even the Bronze Frost Diamond Emblem representing the "quasi-elemental division" was worn on by him. No one doubts that he will be perfect. A qualified duke's heir and everyone believe that he can make the Lucifron family shine brighter.

    In contrast, Sally, Francis's sister does not seem to be as dazzling as her brother but people will smile sincerely when talking about this girl because her kindness and her words kindness were on everyone’s mouth throughout the territory. The status of "duke's daughter" often means that a large number of other aristocrats will come to inquire about marriage before they reach adulthood but the Lucifron family does not have such a situation because she often distributes bread to beggars in slums. Of the girls have decided to enter the "Rose Cross" church as an adult-and all members who enter the church are not allowed to marry for life.

    The weather in mid-April is suitable for travel. According to the previous requirements of his father, Duke Lucifron, at this time of the year, Francis and Sally must tour around the villages on the edge of the territory.

    In the original words of the old duke, "Each aristocrat should not forget their own true responsibilities. They should not only enjoy the happiness brought by wealth but should lead the people they ruled to have a better life."

    Although there are many border villages, many of them were assigned to territories such as Lord Kirk but several lords welcomed the Duke's children's visits to the border.

    In the past, the old duke used to go with his children, but in the last five years, Angmar Lucifron started not to go with them, which also led Lord Kirk to gradually become indifferent to Francis and Sally in these years.

    In this regard, the two young people did not show any impatience.

    Today was the 17th day that Sally and Francis traveled together. There were more than 20 villages and towns in the periphery of the entire territory. They will take a tour and according to plan, this will take almost three months. The tour at this time, food and shelter were in poor villages. Except for two maids and sixteen guards, the children of the two nobles did not even have any extravagance.

    This may be one of the reasons why the old aristocrats have more inside information than the nouveau rich. No matter how much wealth the family has, the children will still experience the hardships of the ancestors when they laid the foundation. At this time in the Vic village, Francis was in a simple cotton garment and was talking with his sister-"Dear Sally, the team should go to Finks Village tomorrow, but Uncle Smith I am looking for seems to be coming back tomorrow. In order not to delay your trip, how about going there with the team today? "
