Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 14 Conversation
Both Baron and Daniel went after the riders, and the other leader of the caravan chose to camp by the side of the road to rest.

He arranged for those who could still move to dig a pit to bury the corpse of his companion who had just died, and Rhodes and the others also helped.

Another person in charge of the caravan was an old man with a white beard named Peart Carman, who looked very much in line with the image of an ancient wise man in Rhodes' mind.

According to others, he used to be a nobleman of the Roman Empire, but was stripped of his title for some reason, and then fled to the Nord Kingdom to escape crimes, and finally became a businessman.

He is also the first person with a surname that Rhodes has seen after crossing. In this world, only nobles can have a surname. After being deprived of his noble status, he can still have a surname, but his children cannot.

As for what was in the carriage, Peart did not explain, and neither did the rest of the caravan.

This caravan was organized by Daniel and Peart, and the other members were basically grooms, handymen and guards hired by the two of them.

"Should we help Baron and the others?" Rhodes asked Weber who was digging a hole next to him.

"You're going to add to the chaos." Hammer said, after a few days of recuperation, most of his injuries have healed, as long as he doesn't fight violently.

Hammer has always looked down on Rhodes' strength, and Rhodes is used to it.

When will I be able to drive Wushuang in the crowd like Baron?

Rhodes was thinking while digging a hole.

After disposing of the corpses, the caravan's handyman began to bury the pot and cook.During this period of time, I can only eat some dry food at noon, and only have hot food in the morning and evening.

Smelling the aroma of the broth, Rhodes started to think about the future while roasting on the fire. Such a hard and adventurous life made him very unaccustomed to people who are used to living a modern life.

In the future, shouldn't he think of a way to get a title, then use his previous knowledge to make some money, manage his own territory, and live his life comfortably.

In terms of taking risks, with a few martial arts, I am now at best an adventurer who is a little better than ordinary adventurers.Why not use the advanced knowledge you have learned before to benefit the world.

This allows you to live more comfortably while actually doing something for the world.

"It's ready to eat," Weber said.

Rhodes and the others did not eat with the rest of the caravan, but Weber cooked something for them.

This was strongly demanded by Weber. He said that he once ate food made by others and was almost poisoned to death.

From then on, he only ate food prepared by himself or Sam.

As for why he didn't eat what Hammer prepared, it wasn't that Weber didn't believe him, but that Hammer had never prepared food.

What is boiled in the pot is salted beef jerky. Because there is a river in Ice River City that can transport a large amount of salt by boat, the price of table salt is much cheaper than in Ice Rock City.

In Icestone City, Rhodes almost vomited after eating the "authentic" meat, but now even this kind of marinated meat tastes good.

Steaming meat and broth, served well with black bread.

"Your skills are getting better and better. When you retire, you can work as a cook in a tavern." Hammer praised with a sip.

"What good is there to be a cook in someone else's tavern? I plan to go back to Pinewood Town and open a tavern after I lift the curse this time," Weber said.

After hearing this, Hammer's expression froze, he put down the fork in his hand, and said unimaginably, "After this time, you will retire?"

Weber smiled, "I'm over 50, I'm old, I can retire early and marry a young wife, and I can still live a few years of comfortable life, if I die outside, then all the money I have saved so hard for so many years will be in vain. "

Rhodes looked Weber up and down, but he couldn't tell that he was over 50.

"What's the point of living like that? Only fighting can make me feel like I'm still alive," Hamer said.

"I'm not like you. I'm always judged and judged when I go out to make a living. And when you sit in a tavern, there are many people who want to make friends with you." Weber said, putting a piece of meat into his mouth with a fork.

Hamer didn't continue talking, and the atmosphere next to the fire was very dull.

Rhodes didn't speak, and continued to eat with his head down.After all, he is not particularly familiar with Weber and Hammer.It's not like Baron can get acquainted with everyone.

"Are you really planning to live a lifetime of such uncertainty?" Webb asked Hamer.

Hammer was silent for a while and said, "Unless I can become a nobleman, otherwise I will not go home."

Rhodes looked at Hammer and thought, it seems that Hammer must be a man with a story.He has already filled his head with a [-]-word article about Mo bullying young people and poor people.

Hammer noticed Rhode's gaze and asked, "Why are you so weak and still taking risks outside? Aren't you afraid of being hacked to death?"

"Don't talk about him like that, he is still young, maybe he will be better than us in the future." Weber said.

Rhode was a little moved when he heard Weber's words, and asked, "Where is Pinewood Town, I think I can visit you later."

After listening to Rhode's question, Weber's eyes showed a hint of longing. He should be recalling Pinewood Town. He said, "It's a beautiful place. Next to the town there are wild pine forests, and there are many Fat animals. There is also a small river in the middle of the town. When I was a child, I loved catching fish in the river..."

Rhodes listened for ten minutes, but Weber still didn't answer his question.

He coughed to interrupt Weber's memory, and said, "I'm asking where Pinewood Town is exactly?"

Weber came back to his senses and said, "It's in the north of Dawn Province."

Dawn Province is a province in the south of Nord near the Kingdom of Fish. It has a pleasant climate and only snows in winter. It is one of the few provinces in Nord that is relatively warm.

The Fish Kingdom and the Nord Kingdom also had relatively few conflicts, so the place was still very peaceful, unlike the Winterfell province close to the Roman Empire.

"You must come to my place as a guest when you have time in the future, and I will definitely treat you well." Weber said.

Rhodes nodded and said, "Definitely, definitely."

……

After eating, Rhodes had nothing to do, picked up the sword and found a place to practice basic swordsmanship.

Although the moves are very simple, they are the foundation of those brilliant moves.

There is no clock, and there is no concept of time at night. Rhodes doesn't know how late he practiced before going to bed.

When he woke up the next day, it was already noon, and it was Wei Bo who woke him up to eat.

After a night of practice, Rhodes' basic swordsmanship went from lv1 to lv2.

It seems that this task is not very difficult. You can upgrade the basic swordsmanship to one level in one night. Although it will become more difficult to upgrade as you go on, you will definitely be able to upgrade to another level after practicing for two or three days.

After he just sat down to rest, Baron came back on his horse...
