Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 297 Returning to the Castle
"My lord, we are here." The groom who was driving said to Rhodes who was sitting in the carriage.

After Rhode heard the groom's voice, he reached out and patted Lorraine who was sleeping beside him due to motion sickness.

"We're here?" Lorraine opened his eyes in a daze.

Rhodes nodded, and then he got out of the carriage, and the bison came here with Rhodes, and Rhodes was not at ease leaving it alone in the town.

The castle still looks unchanged from the outside, with some green moss growing on the gray-black ancient stone walls.

Rhodes didn't know why the weather was so cold now, and there was still moss on the walls outside the castle.

Although the castle is small in size, it has a long history, even dating back thousands of years.

It was here that a king of Nord had made his last peace with some emperor of the empire before the Kingdom of Fish and the Roman Empire split.

After this, the empire fell into civil strife and split into two countries.

The Kingdom of Fish to the west was ruled by a remote branch of the imperial royal family, and the Roman Empire was ruled by a leader elected by them. Later, a certain leader changed the position of supreme power from public election to hereditary again, and restored He overthrew the original aristocratic system and became the evil dragon his ancestors wanted to defeat.

Rhodes walked into the castle, and there was a pleasant smell of wood in the castle. The decoration in this era did not use some chemical adhesives, so he didn't worry that moving in immediately after the decoration would be bad for his health.

He walked to his own room on the second floor. The floor of the room was equipped with a brand new wooden floor. The paint on the floor was a kind of natural plant juice, which was non-slip and fireproof.

Now the castle is equipped with running water, but if you want to take a hot bath, you still have to boil the water.

Rhodes sat on the desk and took out the paper and pen to start a new day's work.

Earlier, he handed over the compiled mathematics textbooks to Van Lundin in the house in the small town, asking him to go back and prepare well, and next week he will start teaching the officials recruited by the town some time ago.

Staying up all night didn't have any impact on Rhodes, and practicing the Marrow Washing Sutra overnight could also restore his mental strength to a certain extent.

There is no important work to be arranged recently, and he plans to translate a few more martial arts cheats today.

Regardless of whether it is basic or advanced martial arts, he intends to translate some.

After the spring planting is over, he will start to expand the size of the army. Rhodes plans to let all soldiers learn basic martial arts such as iron cloth shirt, breathing method, and Taizu Changquan.

For those soldiers who performed well and were loyal, they were rewarded with some advanced martial arts.

Among the large pile of martial arts cheats from the last scan, there are still some combined attack skills that require the cooperation of many people.

Even an ordinary Tier [-] soldier, using those combined attack skills together, can contend against Rhodes for a period of time.

Rhodes intends to form a few special teams to practice this kind of combination attack skills, and deal with the strongest in the enemy army on the battlefield in the future.

Holding a pen in each hand, he began to write on the thick white paper in front of him. He only needed to write one copy this time. Basic martial arts can be copied by Hammer. There is no need for martial arts to make so many copies.

It is not a good thing if some advanced martial arts are spread on a large scale. It is fine if good people get them. If some evil people get them, I don’t know what kind of killing they will cause.

Although the nobles all mastered one or more combat skills, due to their status and many constraints, they would not wantonly kill innocent people unless it was in a certain war.

However, some dark and perverted mercenaries didn't care so much. If they accidentally obtained some kind of powerful martial arts, they would definitely do a lot of cruel things after their strength increased rapidly.

Although they would do such things when they were weak, they were still afraid of the local lords, army, and laws because they were relatively weak.

If they become stronger, they won't care so much.

The nobles controlled the combat skills, which in some ways helped the security and stability of the mainland to a certain extent.

But they control knowledge and culture, which completely restricts the development of the mainland. After thousands of years, things are still as backward as they are now.

The day passed quickly, and Rhodes still hadn't finished translating a bit, so he lit an oil lamp on the desk.

Looking at the dim light, Rhodes planned to go to Qingliu City to attend a banquet in a few days, and could he find some mages or scholars who knew some mechanical knowledge.

Let them combine magic with Rhodes' scientific knowledge, so that Rhodes can enjoy the convenience of electricity.

As long as the castle is powered on, there will be electric lights and water heaters. When Rhodes checked the castle decoration drawings, he specially asked them to leave some places for the wires that might be installed in the future.

"My lord, it's time to eat." Lorraine knocked on Rhode's door.

"Give me another 5 minutes." Rhodes responded loudly, his hands holding the pen quickly wrote the martial arts cheats on the paper.

Three minutes later, Rhodes walked towards the first floor of the castle while rubbing his wrist, which was a little sore from writing for a day. He obviously underestimated his hand speed just now.

"What is the use of your automatic water thing? Is it lifted? Or does it need to be twisted?" Baron looked at Rhodes and asked curiously.

"Only the faucet of the sink is lifted, and the others are twisted." Rhodes replied, "Be gentle when you use it, so as not to break it."

"Master Baron has already broken three of them, and now Lord Hammer is still repairing the faucet in the toilet." Lorraine whispered to Rhodes.

Rhodes would have guessed that such a result would happen a long time ago, so he asked those blacksmiths to build a few more faucets.

Baron's ears were good, and he still heard what Lorraine whispered to Rhodes, and he smiled awkwardly.

Hammer came out of the toilet, took a towel handed over by a servant, and wiped the water from his face.

"Next time you use these new gadgets, use them lightly, and I'm covered with water." Hamer pulled out a chair and sat on it.

"By the way, do you know some etiquette of the nobles?" Rhode suddenly thought of this question. If he was as casual as he is now at the Marquis Marquis' banquet, it would definitely make some nobles laugh.

Although Rhodes is not afraid of being ridiculed by others, he cannot give others a chance to laugh at him because he is not afraid of others' ridicule.

"You ask Hamer to teach you. He is the son of a great nobleman, so he must have learned it too." Baron pointed to Hamer who was sitting opposite him.

Hammer nodded, "Are you going to that banquet? I can teach you right now. First, you have to put down the chopsticks and put on the knife and fork..."
