Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 180 The Secret Path
Rhodes felt that he didn't need to kill Gilbert. He wanted him to work for him in the future. If Fortress Glory fell, it would be a good thing for those things to leak out.

Moreover, the owner of that ring must be a nobleman, and a powerful nobleman at that, otherwise the female assassin would have taken his ring away, and it would not be her turn.

Cooperate with Gilbert to do this kind of thing, even if he is dragged into his own thief ship, he can't reveal his secret, otherwise he will definitely die.

"Who owns that space ring?" Rhodes asked again.

"A court mage at the Emperor's side," Gilbert replied.

"I still think it's better to kill you now." Rhodes face darkened.

Rhodes felt that this was no different from asking him to die directly. If it was the nobles living in the tower of the fortress, he could still give it a try.

But the court mage must have lived with the emperor in the castle, and the castle was heavily guarded, with countless soldiers guarding it day and night.

There are also many knights with high martial arts skills who take turns to guard, and there must be many magic traps that can be triggered automatically in every corner of the castle.

"Don't, I know a secret passage that allows you to sneak into the castle without anyone noticing." Gilbert said hastily.

"It's not because you want me to go into the sewer, if so, I'd better throw you into the sewer to soak for a few days." Rhodes sneered, unlike other cities and castles in the Roman Empire, Glory Fortress has sewers and drainage facility.

"No, listen to me. There is a secret passage on the south side of the fortress, which can lead to the interior of the castle. Few people know about that passage." Gilbert explained.

"Then how do you, an ordinary civilian, know? Couldn't that passage be built by your ancestors?" Rhodes asked again, this is a very traditional plot.

"No." Gilbert shook his head, "This was built secretly by the supreme commander of the Fortress of Glory. He was afraid that the fortress would fall, so he built a secret road in advance to allow him to escape. The person who built this secret road was the last They were all killed by him, and I lived in this fortress since I was a child, and once I went to collect medicine in the nearby mountains and found this secret passage by chance."

"You really know how to play." Rhode commented, "Where is that secret path? You go with me."

Rhodes just wanted to know where the secret passage was. He still didn't want to run into the castle. Once he entered, he would definitely not be able to get out, unless he waited until the Nords attacked the city.

"How can I go with you if I can't move?" Gilbert said.

Rhodes is not going to help him relieve the acupuncture point either, who knows if he will have some countermeasures, and this is still his territory.

But if you don't help him untie the acupuncture point, how to take him out is also a troublesome thing.

Rhodes ordered another numb point on Gilbert's body in case the time for acupuncture was approaching, and was going to get a car to drag him out.

"What have you done to me? I'm in so much pain!" Gilbert exclaimed in horror.

"Is it the same feeling as the numb arm coming from all over the body?" Rhodes asked.

"Almost," Gilbert replied.

Rhodes also didn't expect that clicking on two numb points would have this effect, so he turned around and clicked on Gilbert's dumb point, so as not to attract people by shouting when he went out.

He took the key from Gilbert, locked the grocery store and went out.

Rhodes felt that he had shifted from lawful good to lawful evil, or neutral evil.

He found a farmer driving an ox cart on the street and offered to buy his ox cart and all the wheat on it.

The farmer only hesitated before agreeing to the deal. He had come to sell the wheat in the fortress.He knew that there would be a war in the fortress soon, and this time he sold the cattle by the way, so he could take the money and take his family to a safer place to start a new life.

He felt that if the fortress was breached, those Nords would definitely burn, kill and loot around here, which is what every country's army will do.His cattle will also be taken away, so he might as well take this opportunity to sell them.

Afterwards, Rhodes drove the ox cart to the yard behind the grocery store, moved Gilbert out of the basement, and threw it under the pile of wheat. Rhodes looked carefully and felt that the people next to him couldn't find what was still inside. hiding people.

If someone poked it with a sword to see if there was anything in it, he could only say sorry to Gilbert in his heart.

Rhodes looked at his attire again, and felt that the clothes on his body did not look like those worn by a farmer.

He ran to a room in the grocery store, which should be Gilbert's room, and he found the most worn-out coat in a cabinet in the room and put it on.

He took off a straw hat from the wall and put it on his head, and put a little dust on his face.

Rhodes feels that as long as others don't stare at him carefully, it is unlikely that they will find him suspicious.

After doing this, Rhodes led the ox cart and walked towards the south of the fortress. He didn't know how to drive an ox cart, so in order not to be suspected, he could only lead the ox cart.

The guards at the gate of the fortress didn't pay much attention to him. Looking at Rhode's young face, they thought he was just an ordinary peasant boy, and their targets were mainly on those who wanted to enter the fortress.

After leaving the fortress, Rhodes led the ox cart to a place where no one was around, lifted the wheat on the cart to reveal Gilbert underneath, and helped him solve the first numb and dumb points.

"It's killing me." Gilbert gasped.

"We're outside the fortress. I'll carry you on my back later, and you can show me the way." Rhode directly carried Gilbert on his back.

Gilbert hesitated for a while and started to help Rhodes guide the way.

According to his instructions, Rhodes came to a cave.

He felt that this cave seemed familiar.

Rhodes took a closer look, isn't this the cave where he developed gunpowder?

"Is it here?" Rhodes asked.

"It's here, but the terrain inside is a bit complicated, and you're sure you won't be able to find that hidden path," Gilbert said.

Rhodes could only walk towards the cave with his back on his back. The cave was very dark. He carried Jill on his shoulders and lit a flame with his other hand for illumination.

From time to time, he stopped to use the mage ball to check if there were any traps around him before moving on.

"When I was collecting plants on the mountain before, I encountered a heavy rain, so I hid in this cave. Later, a cave bear came to the cave to hide from the rain. At that time, I was scared and ran all the way to the depths of the cave, and finally found the secret. Say." Gilbert on Rhodes' shoulder said.

Rhodes ignored him, and continued to follow his instructions carefully to walk deep into the cave...
