Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 27 Dinner
With the help of Baron, Rhode walked into the castle hall.

The castle hall is very large, nearly ten meters high. At the top of the hall is the lord's seat, where the lord usually sits to deal with the affairs of the territory.

There is a huge long table in the middle of the hall. The whole long table is enough for nearly a hundred people to sit and eat together. Hammer and Weber are already sitting on the long table.

Sitting at the most honorable position on the long table was a burly bald man with a similar build to Baron's. He was wearing a bearskin coat with crossed swords tattooed on his chest with gold thread.There is a huge scar on his face, which cuts off the bridge of his nose from the left side of his mouth and extends to his right eye. This scar makes him look very ferocious.

He saw Rhodes and the others enter the hall, and stood up to greet them, "Come and sit down, don't pay attention to noble etiquette here."

The long table was full of food, including grilled sausages, fried bacon, soup cooked with dried meat, kippers, white bread...

The only people who ate were Rhodes and the scar lord. Rhodes sat on a chair and looked around curiously.

"I haven't formally expressed my gratitude to you yet, let me toast you a glass to thank you for avenging my brother." After saying that, Scarface raised his glass and drank the wine inside in one gulp.

Rhodes froze for a moment, raised his glass and took a sip, "I'm really flattered by you, I wanted to toast you a glass of wine, but please forgive me that I just woke up from a coma and couldn't drink because of my poor appetite."

Scarface nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, then you can eat more."

He wiped his mouth with his hand, "Today we don't get too drunk, this is the aged wine I found in the castle's wine cellar today, and it was poured out of the oak barrel just before dinner."

Baron raised his wine glass and said to Scarface, "Thank you for your generous hospitality, and I wish you a long life." After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

Hammer and Weber also toasted Scarface, and Rhodes was hesitating whether he should also toast himself.

"Why didn't you see you like this a few days ago when you were dealing with the priests of the Death God Cult by yourself, but today's small scene without outsiders makes you so nervous." Baron said to Rhodes.

Scarface laughed loudly and said, "Stop playing such nonsense, why didn't I see you like this yesterday, and suddenly became polite today, which made this young man a little uncomfortable."

Hammer also laughed: "As civilians, we need to show respect to you, the lord. Jon, you made me drunk yesterday. It was because I was in a bad state. Today I want to find my way back."

"Baron was the last drunk yesterday. If you want to get back the scene, then you should get him drunk today." Jon laughed.

"Why did you turn the flames of war on me again? Jon, you have to remember that I used to drink far less than you. Yesterday, you two drank too fast and got drunk so quickly." Baron spread his hands as innocent expression.

Rhode looked at Baron's hand and understood why he was the most drinkable among them. His own space ring was still on his hand, but he was not going to expose Baron.

Jon nodded to Balon: "Then let's drink slowly today and see who among us can drink the best."

"Of course it's you, Lord Jon." Baron joked, and raised his glass to take another swig.

……

Rhodes returned to the room after filling his stomach. In the hall, Baron and Jon were still drinking each other.

Baron and Jon had known each other a long time ago, and they had a good relationship with each other.

Jon and Baron used to be an adventurer at first glance, and his brother's family was murdered by the Death Cult.According to the law, he is the first heir after the death of his brother and his brother's son.

So he was asked by the duke to come back and inherit the fiefdom and the title of earl, so he ended his life as an adventurer.

Aristocratic families like them usually pass all the fief and title to the eldest son, unless the second son is knighted by the local grand duke or king in order to get a small piece of fief.

In the Nord Kingdom, most nobles who are not family heirs will choose to go out to take risks and fight for wealth and status for themselves.

Weber has always wanted to become a nobleman and then return to his hometown to spend his old age in peace and prosperity.

Rhodes sat on the bed and thought that he could generate flames all over his body like Baron near the altar. He wanted to try again, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't generate flames like last time.

What happened and why is it not working now?Does one have to be very angry to burn the small universe?Or ask Baron next time.

Why is my flame dark green, and it can heal injuries? Is it because I have practiced Shenzhao Kungfu?
He stared at his scorched right hand again, why does my right hand seem to be scorched, while other parts of my body are fine.Baron was never burned by his own fire.

My right hand healed the female knight's injury, is it equivalent to passing the life force of my right hand to her for this to happen?
There are many doubts in Rhode's heart that he can't answer for a short time, and he can only know the answer to the question when he can ignite the flame on his body again.

He picked up the scrapped "Wise Men's Calamity" placed on the bedside. This long sword was kept in the grave for many years, and it was very sharp.

This time, the blade was distorted by Rhodes' own flame, so it couldn't be used as a weapon, and it didn't look good as an ornament.

Rhodes used gravity to carefully observe the enchanted runes on the long sword, and found that the runes had not been damaged. An experienced blacksmith might be able to repair the sword.

The last task is completed, and it has been more than a week since the time to pick up the task, so I should be able to accept another task.

While thinking about it, he opened the system's task interface, and a new task appeared in front of his eyes.

Task [-]: One's own strength is the capital of the world, without strength it is difficult to move forward.

Requirements: Upgrade any martial arts by two levels.

Task [-]: Knowledge and experience are very important, and there are many places where you can quickly increase your experience.

Requirements: Enter taverns in five different cities.

Task [-]: Becoming a nobleman allows you to travel freely and enjoy respect in most places.

Requirements: Be a nobleman.

Rhodes chose mission one without hesitation. This mission is similar to the last one. The last mission was to increase martial arts by two levels together. This time, it is to increase a single martial art by two levels.

According to his previous experience, although it is difficult to complete within a week, there is still great hope. As for the other two tasks, it may not be completed in a month.

Rhodes is now covered with bandages. The castle is very warm and there are many fireplaces, which made him sweat a lot when he was unconscious.

He wanted to take a bath very much now, and the conditions in the castle allowed, but he was afraid that the wound would become inflamed and had to give up this idea.

He slept too much before, but now he is not sleepy at all in bed, and he feels very bored when he can't get up to practice.

If you can bring the dead back to life after practicing to a high level, then my active operation of the divine illumination function can't speed up the recovery of my injuries?
Rhodes hadn't tried this before, but now that he thought of this, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to try...
