Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 213 Unexpected encounter

Rhodes left the north gate of the fortress smoothly. The soldiers here looked a little listless, and no one questioned those who wanted to leave the fortress.

I don't know if these soldiers didn't have a good rest or some other reason made them so spiritless.

After Rhodes came to the north of the fortress, he regretted a little. He was not familiar with the terrain here, and he didn't know where to find a river to wash away the black dirt on his body.

There used to be a forest and several small rivers in the north of the fortress. The Nords fought all the way to the fortress in last year's war. The imperial people considered that the woods and rivers would bring a lot of convenience to the Nords who were about to attack the city, so they set up a forest in the Nords. Before the Germans arrived at the fortress, they began to fortify the walls and clear the fields. They burned all the forests that had grown for hundreds of years, and blocked the water sources of the several rivers with soil.

The woods were devoured by the flames, leaving only a black wreck on the ground, and the small rivers also changed their flow direction after being cut off from the water source.

Rhodes walked up the mountain along the remaining river channels. These rivers originate from the mountains next to the fortress. Originally, they were just streams on the mountain, and many of them converged to form rivers. If the imperial people did not interfere, they would flow into a larger river. Large rivers eventually flow into the sea.

Now these streams have not disappeared, but have changed direction and flowed into larger rivers along another channel.

Along these remaining river channels, Rhodes will definitely be able to find a clean stream.

After Rhodes entered the mountains, he found a rabbit in the grass. He used the telekinesis to grab the rabbit and prepared to eat it for lunch.

After walking along the dry river for a while, Rhodes came to a small stream.

Originally, the creek would stay along the river at this fork, but after being blocked by the imperial people, all the streams flowed to another fork.

Rhodes took out an unused scimitar from the system, and began to deal with the rabbit in his hand.

Although the dagger-shaped Bane of the Wise is more convenient to do this kind of thing, the duration of the chaotic poison that was applied to Bane of the Wise before has not passed, and the poison will not be effective until tonight. Rhodes is worried about eating someone who has been exposed to the poison. Rabbit meat will also affect him, so he can only choose the scimitar which is relatively easier to use than other weapons.

Tethering the horse to a tree and picking up some nearby branches, Rhodes quickly built a bonfire, and he is very experienced in doing this kind of thing now.

After he skewered the skinned and cleaned rabbits on the homemade barbecue grill and started grilling, Rhodes went to the stream next to him to wash off the black dirt on his body. The rabbit turns around.

After washing his body, Rhodes found that his skin seemed to be fairer, and the skin that was exposed to the wind and sun every day without maintenance became very smooth, just like a boiled egg with its shell removed.

If Rhodes knows how to configure the marrow-washing pill, he will definitely make a fortune. The marrow-washing pill can be used by both men and women. Men seem to rely on it to increase their strength, and women will also fanatically want to get it to make themselves more beautiful .

After washing his body, but the greasy feeling on his hair couldn't be washed off no matter what, Rhode finally decided to shave all of them. He originally wanted to learn from those male nobles to have long hair like Thor in the American comics.

The clothes Rhodes wore before were already so smelly that he didn't want to want them anymore. He felt that in this world without washing powder, soap, and soap, these clothes must not be washed clean.

He changed into a Taoist robe that he had drawn in the last ten consecutive draws.

Ordinary Taoist Robe: The clothes worn by ordinary Taoist priests can slightly increase the power of Taoist martial arts and the efficiency of studying Taoist classics.

Rhodes had never been willing to wear this dress before, and planned to keep it for later. Now he has two exercises that are considered Taoist.

One is Baoyuan Shouyi, which has not been used for a long time, and the other is Baihong swordsmanship, which can only be used for defense and counterattack.

There are still many powerful Taoist martial arts, such as the most widely spread Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword, and there are also many powerful light kung fu, such as the Wudang ladder Yun Zong that steps on the left foot and the right foot to leave the atmosphere.

After getting dressed, Rhode walked to the fire that was still roasting the rabbit and began to feast on it. He was not afraid of being burned so he could pick it up and eat it.

The meat of this rabbit was of good quality, and when the flame was roasted, all the golden oil came out, but it didn't taste like a piece of fat.

Rhodes didn't even give him any salt, but he still ate deliciously.

After eating the rabbits, Rhodes felt a little hungry, so he decided to catch a few more beasts.

Hunting was illegal in the Roman Empire, but not in the Nord Kingdom.

While walking, Rhodes used the mage ball to observe whether there were hidden beasts around. The marrow washing pill not only increased his physique and internal strength, but also enhanced his magic power a little.

This made him need to spend more time to achieve the optimal ratio of magic power and internal force in his body.

It didn't take long before he found two fat rabbits in the burrow under the grass. Rhodes used the mage ball to control the gravity and lifted the rabbits out.

He took two rabbits and walked towards the previous creek.

Then he saw a man by the fire he had forgotten to put out.

Rhodes walked without any footsteps, but the man seemed to notice his gaze and looked towards Rhodes.

This man's appearance made Rhodes feel a little familiar. It seemed that he should have seen it somewhere, maybe in a tavern or near the city wall, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Young man, do you know which direction is south? I seem to be lost." The man said, his voice was very soft, but it made people want to hear clearly.

Rhodes remembered who this man was. It was Marquis Eric whom he had seen under the city wall. Although Rhodes had only seen him once, he still had some impressions of him, especially his voice.

Marquis Eric has obviously put on some disguise now, otherwise Rhodes felt that he would definitely recognize him at first sight.

"Why are you going to the south? Isn't the Nords in the north in a better position? I couldn't hunt like this before, otherwise I would definitely be caught by the lord and have my hands chopped off." Rhodes asked suspiciously Dao, he wanted to disguise himself as an ordinary hunter, but the Taoist robe on his body didn't seem to match.

He was calmly and slowly approaching Marquis Eric.

"I want to go to the south to take over my family. The exploitation of us by the nobles of the Roman Empire is too cruel. May I ask which direction is the south?" Marquis Eric also started acting.

He entered the forest with confidence, but found that he couldn't find his way, and he kept circling around this area.

Every time Marquis Eric went hunting in the forest, he was accompanied by many experienced hunters, so he never got lost in the forest, nor did he think that he would get lost.

Everyone has a position that they are not good at. Before today, Eric Marquis has always thought that he can do the best in all aspects, at least he has no shortcomings in every aspect, and he is better than most people.

As a result, it was only today that he realized that he was still not good at something. Although he had learned these things, he hadn't actually used this knowledge.

"That's the direction." Rhodes said, pointing in one direction. His current position is enough for him to attack...
