Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 107
After a few days of boring time, the boat that Rhodes and the others were on finally arrived at Gulfstream City.

Rhodes has carefully studied martial arts cheats every day in the past few days, and has gained a lot, but there are some things that need to be verified through actual combat.

Michel also approached Rhode several times and asked him if he could make cakes on the boat.

Originally rejected by Rhodes, I really couldn't bear it later, and tried to use the ingredients on the boat. Although the taste was not as good as before, Missel could still accept it. After all, it was much better than the bread and fish soup on the boat.

After saying goodbye to Quentin and his crew, Rhodes and his party left the "Flyer".

"Are we going to sign up for the competition first? But we still have one person missing." Rhodes asked after getting off the boat.

"Let's go to the tavern first, maybe there are people I know." Baron said.

"Who do you think would travel such a long distance just to participate in a competitive meeting?" Hammer said on the sidelines. In the last few days on the boat, he finally overcame his seasickness.

"Maybe there is." Baron said casually.

"I heard people on the boat say that magic and divine arts are not allowed to be used in this tournament, and one can only rely on one's own martial arts to win the battle. In this way, Missel cannot participate. If this is the case, then we In fact, there are two less people." Rhodes said again.

"Don't worry about me being behind, my lord not only gave me the ability to cast spells, but also gave me strength and agility." Misel said.

"Alright then." Rhode couldn't see how much strength her small body could unleash.

Quentin introduced some things to Rhodes about Fish Kingdom on the boat before.

The Kingdom of Fish is the richest country on the entire continent, and the people's material conditions and spiritual culture are much superior to those of other countries on the continent.

This country has completely abolished slavery, and even serfs do not exist. Although nobles still enjoy privileges, the rights and status of the people are much higher than those of the other three countries.

Citizens of the Kingdom of Fish are much more educated than civilians in other countries on the mainland. Every adult citizen of the Kingdom of Fish is eligible to become an official in a town. They also have the right to vote in some important positions and choose among several competing nobles. One they trust most to fill that position.

In the towns of the Fish Kingdom, except for soldiers like the city guards, no one is allowed to bring weapons into the city or take to the streets. If they are caught, they will be locked in prison for several days.Unlike in Nord, where all kinds of weapons can be seen on the streets, no one cares about the terrifying weapons carried by Baron and Hamer, which also improves the security of Fish Kingdom.

The piers of Gulfstream City were not built inside the city walls, but not far outside the city. Foreign adventurers like Rhodes and the others had to go through the search of the city guards before they could enter the city after disembarking.

However, they can temporarily live in hotels outside the city.A long time ago, Duke Owen of Gulfstream City built many hotels outside the city for the contestants who were unwilling to let their weapons leave their bodies for the tradition of the competition.

Usually, Gulfstream City has a permanent population of 10,000+. When it comes to the competition, the number of people in the city will generally increase to about 20. In addition to those who want to participate in the competition, there are more people who come to watch the competition.

After all, such a grand event is still rare in this world where entertainment methods are scarce, even if this is the richest country in the world.

"Why do you want to slip away without paying?" A voice attracted everyone who hadn't left the pier.

Rhodes turned his head to look, and several naked-chested rough sailors grabbed a handsome young man and yelled loudly.

Apparently, the young man hadn't paid for the boat after getting off the boat, and was caught trying to sneak away while taking advantage of the chaos.

"Do you think this person looks familiar?" Baron asked Hamer next to him.

"It's a little bit." Hammer nodded.

"Is it the sailor or the young man?" Rhodes asked beside him.

"I remember." Baron patted his bald head.

He stepped forward and freed the sailor's hand from the young man's collar.

"How much does he owe you? I paid for him." Baron said boldly.

"Do you know him?" asked the sailor.

"Why are you asking so much, just tell me the price," Baron said.

"There are a lot of entertainment on our boat, and this kid owes a lot. I'm afraid that you, a kind person who has seen a lot of injustice, may not want to pay him after hearing the price, so as not to embarrass you." The sailor explained.

"Why are you so wordy, just tell me the price." Baron said again.

"There are 120 gold coins and 78 silver coins in total, and the copper coins will be erased for you." The sailor held a wooden board and read. There is no paper suitable for writing in this world, and animal skins are more expensive, so they simply used the wooden board to record the bill.

"Why so many? What did you do on it?" Baron was surprised. The four of them plus a horse only spent one gold coin for the boat fare.

"I don't know, I just played a few games with them." The young man said beside him.

"You only played a few games? You stayed there for three days and three nights and didn't come down?" said a sailor.

"What are you playing?" Baron asked curiously.

"Playing with dice," replied the young man.

"Well, for the sake of last time, I will pay for your money." Baron took out a hundred gold coins from his wallet, "The extra few gold coins will also be wiped out for me." gone."

"That can't be done, these are more than twenty gold coins." The sailor said nervously.

"You guys are gambling. What's the difference between you guys and those who run a casino? If the lord here finds out, you won't even get a penny, and you might even be locked up." Rhodes said righteously. he made it up

He put the gold coin in Baron's hand back, then pulled Baron and the young man away from here quickly.

The sailors were confused by Rhodes' words. They had just returned from Nord, and they didn't know if the Fish Kingdom added such a law, but they didn't know whether there was such a law before.

"It's not good for us to leave without paying," said the young man.

Rhodes was a little speechless. Didn't he just want to run and get caught?

"You shouldn't owe them money in the first place. You must have won the game they set up on the ship, otherwise you wouldn't lose so much. Do you think those sailors can play such a big bet when they play by themselves? They are obviously cheating You, we didn't beat them up for you." Rhodes said.

The young man recalled and nodded, "It seems so. I really didn't play a few games, and they dragged me to play, and I didn't say anything about the bet. I played with them when I was bored. I didn't expect It will."

"But why would they choose you as a target? You don't look rich." Rhodes said strangely, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

Of course, the young man would not admit that he was on the boat and blew all the cowhide to the sky. He went around telling people how rich he was, and this time he returned home to inherit the title and inheritance.

"By the way, Baron, why do you know him?" Rhodes asked curiously.

The young man turned around and stood in front of Rhodes face to face, and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Miles..."
