Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 167

"Is it because few merchants come to my Glory City because of the entry fee?" Wilson said as if talking to himself, "But this money is too important to us."

"You can't let go of just a few thousand gold coins a year. It seems that there is a reason why your city can't prosper." Rhodes sneered. He felt that he should be playing a rich and proud man. Young nobleman.

"You don't know how much my brothers have to risk their lives to earn these thousands of gold coins." Wilson sighed. It’s all very important to us.”

Rhodes suddenly felt that Michel was a bit pitiful. As a noble girl, she actually risked her life to capture a dangerous person like the Black Heart Knight for a bounty, and participated in the Gulfstream City Tournament for a few thousand gold coins.

"Well, let me make a bet with you." Rhode reached into the dragon scale armor and took out a diamond, "If you do what I say, your city will not enter the city for a whole year within half a year." If the fee is earned back, this gem will belong to you."

"You are really rich enough to take out rare gems worth tens of thousands of gold coins and make a bet with me without thinking about what will happen if I lose." Wilson said with a smile, "The price of the scales you wear It’s not low, it must have been stripped from a powerful earth dragon, and it must be worth tens of thousands of gold coins at least.”

"If you lose, you can teach me a combat skill. Your Knights must have collected a lot of combat skills." Rhode thought for a while and said.

"I made a bet with you." Wilson stepped forward and took away the diamond from Rhodes' hands. "If you are a nobleman in our country, I will definitely marry my daughter to you."

"I remember that my mother doesn't seem to be from the Roman Empire." Michelle said suddenly.

Wilson glared back at her.

What a stupid girl, didn't you hear the polite words?
"Let's continue to discuss matters related to trade." Wilson said with a smile, his mood was much happier than before.

"Let's discuss it after half a year. Your city has canceled the entrance fee and after some publicity, it will definitely attract many businessmen. By then, your needs will definitely be different from what it is now. I'm also here to complete this bet." Rhodes said lightly.

Wilson thought about it for a while and felt that it made some sense. It is very simple for them to publicize this kind of thing. People from their knight order run around on the mainland, as long as they share it with the people who drink with them in the tavern where they lived. Most of the merchants and caravans who travel will also live in the tavern.

Seeing Rhodes and the others get up and prepare to leave, Wilson quickly said, "Don't be in a hurry, stay with us for dinner, the chefs in our castle are the best in the whole city."

After stealing cooking skills from him for a while, my skills are better than our chef, let alone him, Michelle looked at Wilson and thought.

"Since the matter has been finished, we will not disturb your father and daughter's reunion. See you later." Baron said with a big smile, not noticing that he had slipped a little bit.

"Okay then, we'll take you down." Wilson didn't notice any inaccuracies in Baron's words.

Rhodes nodded solemnly, and then Wilson and Michelle sent them to the gate of the castle.

"I'll see you in half a year. Prepare a better combat skill then, don't try to perfuse me casually." Rhodes turned around and said.

Calmly looking at Michel for the last time, he turned around and prepared to leave.

He saw someone he knew walking towards the castle. One of the female knight's partners seemed to be called Shiwen. As for the last name, he didn't remember it, but he was the youngest son of a great nobleman.

After seeing him, Rhodes continued to walk towards the tavern calmly, and he was going to leave the city on horseback after returning to the tavern.

"Lord Earl, who are those people? I think they look familiar." Sven asked Wilson who waved him off after Rhodes and the others left.

"Call me Captain, they are noblemen from Fish Kingdom, come to discuss a business with us." Wilson explained to him with a smile.

The steward next to him was well aware that Wilson did not like being called Earl or mentioning his surname, because Wilson believed that he had brought disgrace to his ancestors.

Wilson was very happy when he thought of the diamond in his arms, and he felt that his daughter's return brought him good luck.

"Where did you get such a valuable gemstone?" Baron asked. He had always wanted to ask before, but it was not convenient there.

"Didn't you see it? He pulled it out from his crotch." Hamer, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, said suddenly.

Rhodes didn't bother to explain. He obviously took it out of his trousers purse, but this visual effect was caused by wearing armor. He was thinking about how to explain it to Baron.

At that time, he felt that Michel was a little pitiful, and he pulled out the most valuable diamond when his head got hot.

A diamond is not a lot of money to him, as long as he works hard and sneaks out at night to fight against the black forces in the city, and by the way search their accumulation for countless years, he can earn several times the money of that diamond.

"I picked it up on the road. I don't know which unlucky ghost dropped it on the road. I haven't told you all this time. I'm afraid I'll be snatched away by you again." Rhodes made up a reason and complained a lot by the way.

Although this reason sounds unbelievable, it is considered the best. He felt that this kind of thing was not good for Baron to confess.

"You just sent it out like this?" Baron seemed to believe Rhode's reason.

"What do you mean by giving it away? I must have won this bet, and the diamond was picked up in the first place, so it doesn't matter if you give it to them." Rhodes explained, although he actually didn't plan to come back here in half a year.

"Then why didn't you give it to me?" Baron looked a little unhappy.

"I'll give it to you when I find it later." Rhodes said helplessly, "Let's leave this city as soon as possible. In case Sven recognizes us, telling Wilson our true identity might be a little troublesome."

"I think it's okay, I don't want to stay in this smelly city anymore." Hamer agreed.

"Buy some dry food in the tavern and let's go." Baron said.

After returning to the tavern, Rhodes bought some dry food and a map from the tavern owner, and rode his horse and Baron and the others left the city.

The map was drawn with animal skins. Although the drawing was very crude, it was very expensive and cost him several gold coins.

After suddenly losing a person by his side, Rhodes still felt a little uncomfortable, but he should be able to see him again in the future...
