Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 174 Check

After lunch, Rhodes sat on the first floor of the tavern and ordered a glass of wine, quietly listening to the conversations of the mercenaries who had just watched the public trial.

"Sure enough, as I thought, the killer is a Nord, and I don't know how he can be a stalker with such a big body."

"Who knows? I went to join in the fun today mainly to see what the emperor looks like. Who knew he didn't show up today."

"Maybe it's for his safety. Accidents can easily happen in such a chaotic situation, and everyone knows that the emperor doesn't even know how to use a sword."

"If the old emperor was a rigid person who strictly abided by the succession law, he would definitely not be an emperor. I don't know why his younger brother didn't kill him secretly."

"The duke is a good man, he can't do such a thing as killing his brother for power..."

……

After Rhodes listened for a while, a group of well-equipped soldiers came to the tavern.

Suddenly the tavern became quiet, and the mercenaries didn't dare to talk loudly like before.

"We are here to register your information. Everyone puts on their gear and registers with me, and those who have registered before will also come." A proud young nobleman walked out from the group of soldiers.

After he finished speaking, the group of soldiers closed the door of the tavern, holding weapons and watching the mercenaries inside the tavern warily.

"Everyone has to come, the owner of this tavern, please help me find out who is not there later, and let them go to the outpost east of the fortress to register with me before night, otherwise we will treat him as a Nord The spies sent to catch him in prison." The young nobleman continued.

A middle-aged mercenary walked up to the young noble with a nonchalant face and began to register.

"Put on all your equipment and get your weapons before you come here." The young nobleman said impatiently while sitting on a long bench in the tavern.

After hearing this, the mercenaries in the tavern ran upstairs to get their equipment.

Rhodes also followed them. He didn't panic at all. After he put on all the armor, no one would have thought that he would be the killer last night.

He went back to the room and put on the whole set of armor after tying "Bane of the Wise" to his belt, picked up the two-handed sword and shield on the table, and walked down.

The two-handed sword presented by the female knight can actually be used by Rhodes as a one-handed sword. If it is held in Baron's hand, it is more like a short sword.

After all, even if it is a heavy two-handed giant sword used by ordinary warriors, Baron can use it like a one-handed long sword.

Rhodes walked down the stairs. After putting on the full set of armor, every step he took, the wooden stairs creaked.

He put on the equipment fairly quickly, and there were only a few people in front of him to register information.

The information registration this time must have been caused by his actions last night, otherwise he would not have registered everyone's information again.

When Rhodes was queuing up to register, the young nobleman asked a few soldiers to run to the second floor, presumably to search the room.

Rhodes' gemstones were all carried close to his body, tightly tied to his body with a small bag, so that when he moved, the gemstones would not collide with each other and make noise.

He was a little thankful that no cheap hands took away the things of those officers yesterday, but the main reason was that he didn't find any valuable equipment, and he didn't bother to take ordinary gold and silver necklaces and rings.

Soon it was Rhodes' turn to register information.

"Tell me your information briefly." The young nobleman said, if it weren't for the fact that these mercenaries basically couldn't read and write, there would be no need for him to come over and record the information himself.

"My name is Miles Pigg. My ancestors were noblemen of Gulfstream City in the Kingdom of Fish, but something happened later, we lost our land, and I became a wandering knight for wealth and status. Wandering around on the mainland doing some mercenary things." Rhodes took out the rhetoric he had thought up earlier.

The young nobleman smiled disdainfully when he heard this, "Wandering knight? Have you been made a knight yet? If you want to take a good look at yourself, just say that you are a mercenary."

"I have a horse." Rhodes pretended to be angry and clenched his fists.

"Okay, mercenary with horses, what kind of weapon do you use?" the young nobleman laughed jokingly.

Rhodes silently raised his shield and two-handed sword.

"Is this your family crest? It's so funny. If I were you, I would definitely change the clan crest. Otherwise, even if you become a nobleman, you still have to accept the ridicule of everyone. But don't take this sentence to heart, You probably have no chance of becoming a nobleman." The young nobleman stared at Rhodes' shield sarcastically.

"You can go." The young nobleman waved to Rhodes, and continued to write and draw on the wood chips without raising his head.

After hearing this, Rhodes pretended to be very angry and turned away. The young nobleman smiled brighter after seeing Rhodes angry. He likes to do this kind of thing, sarcasm and sarcasm.

The young aristocrat felt he had something to say before he laughed at the man for tarnishing the armor of his own ancestors.

He yawned, if I meet that idiot in another place next time, I'll grab his armor. People like him don't deserve such good armor.

After returning to the room, Rhodes found that the room was turned into a mess, which should be done by those soldiers.

Rhodes felt that his acting skills just now were not bad, and he fully acted out the appearance of a young man with a dream after being laughed at by others. The only shortcoming is that he should turn around and say a cruel word before leaving.

How about going down now and saying something?Will it be a little late?
After thinking about it, Rhodes didn't think it was necessary. He planned to find a grocery store to buy some saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur after the group of people left. He didn't know if they sold them.

After an hour, Rhodes went down the stairs to the first floor and found that those people had left.

He carried all the two-handed sword and shield on his back, and also wore a full set of armor except the helmet, so as not to take these things away when someone came to search the room again.

The noise on the first floor of the tavern resumed, and the conversations of the mercenaries almost all focused on the nobleman and the group of soldiers just now. They had already greeted the nobleman's ancestors one by one.

Rhodes left the tavern and walked towards a grocery store not far away. He had already noticed this grocery store before he checked into the tavern he was currently living in.

Pushing open the door of the grocery store, a strange smell came out. This was the strange smell emanating from the various alchemy materials placed in the grocery store.

"May I ask what do you need?" A young man leaned on a chair and asked lazily...
