Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 30 Read Memory
"Master Jon, this man said that he has something very important to report to you." The guard of the castle said to Jon.

The person next to the guard was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and his body smelled bad, worse than Baron who hadn't showered in a week.

And this person is known to everyone except Jon.

"What's the important thing?" Jon raised his head and asked.

The man looked at Baron and the others in surprise after entering the door, and now hearing Jon's question, he echoed respectfully and said, "It's about the Dragon Cult. They appeared on your territory and snatched me away." goods?"

"Oh? Are you sure it's the Dragon Cult? They just stole your goods? What's in your goods that they're targeting?" Jon continued to ask after taking a sip of his wine.

"There is nothing particularly valuable, just things like furs and food." The man replied.

Rhodes felt that his voice was familiar, so he took a closer look at him, and realized that this was the bearded Daniel. He didn't expect that he would be so depressed after a few days of absence.

"It turns out that the Dragon Cult would rob such worthless things?" Jon said.

"Maybe they rob me because they have no food. After all, they are human beings and need to eat. I ask you to send troops to exterminate them and uphold justice for me. After all, they are also hidden dangers in the territory." Daniel said with a sad face.

Weber seemed to think of something when he heard Jon's words. There were a lot of robberies along the way.

In the short distance before, they encountered three robberies, one ordinary robber, one well-trained and well-equipped free rider, and the last time was a follower of the Dragon Worship Cult leading a group of robbers.

Before the last robbery, an ordinary arrow was shot and attracted him and Baron away, making them rush in the direction of the arrow, as if they had been enchanted.

"No, you must have shipped something unusual." Weber said, telling his previous experience and his own conjecture.

Daniel's face changed when he heard it, and he quickly returned to normal.

Jon pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "You'd better tell the truth."

"That's the truth." Daniel said boldly.

"Go ask Master Karl to come over." Jon said to a servant next to him.

Rakkar is a maester and a mage in Jon's castle.He didn't live in the castle like ordinary mages in the castle before. He basically lived near a forest in the territory to do research.

Jon's brother and Jon were all grown up by him, and he felt very guilty about the death of Jon's brother.After the death of Jon's brother and his family, he moved back to the castle for fear that something like this would happen to Jon.

Now Racal usually studies magic and learns all kinds of knowledge in the room, and rarely leaves the room. The servants deliver three meals a day to his room.

Not long after, Racal appeared next to the stairs in the hall. He had a very serious expression, a hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and his eyes were still very sharp in his old age, but he was unkempt, with messy hair, and he wore a white silk robe Dressed in dirty gray by him.

"Master Rakar" Jon got up to welcome him to sit down, and then told him everything.

When Jon was talking, Rakal kept staring at Daniel with falcon-like eyes, which made Daniel a little flustered.

"I can feel that you have been in contact with Dragon Crystal recently." Racal said, "You should know that you can't hide it from me, why don't you tell the truth, do you want to suffer?"

His voice was majestic and indifferent. Even if he didn't speak to Rhodes, it still made Rhodes a little nervous, just like when the head teacher at school used to criticize others severely on the podium, he would tremble underneath.

"No, my lord. What is a dragon crystal, I don't even know what a dragon crystal is." Daniel said in panic.

Rhodes has never heard of what the dragon crystal in this world is, but the name alone should be related to the dragon.

"Hmph," Racal snorted coldly, "Stop quibbling, even if you don't use magic, I can know that you are now aware of what you have done. If you tell the truth, you can avoid a lot of suffering."

Daniel was silent, and began to look around, as if trying to escape.

At this time, the guard next to him pressed him to the ground and made him kneel on the ground.

"I told you all, and I still need to waste my energy to read your memory myself." Lakar stood up, walked in front of Daniel, and put a finger between his eyebrows.

A blue light emerged from his fingers. Daniel first felt as if he was being shocked by an electric shock, and then began to struggle in pain, but he was held down by the castle guards.

Racal withdrew his fingers, and the weird blue light disappeared, but a black mark was left between Daniel's brows, and he fell forward powerlessly to the ground.

"Hmph, I got retribution for doing something wrong, and I want the lord to uphold justice and put him in the dungeon. I didn't expect a slave trader to throw himself into the trap." Lacal turned and walked towards the stairs, looking back He glanced at Jon.

Jon froze for a moment, and immediately followed.

Rhode felt a little uncomfortable listening to their conversation like a charade.

"Are all mages serving the lord as powerful as him?" Rhodes asked Weber next to him. Rhodes was a little uneasy seeing that Lakar could read Daniel's memory so easily, and his newly built self-confidence was overwhelmed. hit.

"Certainly not. I have seen a lot of mages who claim to serve the lord in the tavern and their strength is average. You have to know that Rakar is not only a mage but also a bachelor. Not all mages can become bachelors." Weber replied. .

"What's the difference between a bachelor and a mage?" Rhodes asked again.

"Only people with very profound knowledge and the personal approval of Nord's chief bachelor can be called bachelors, but not all bachelors can magic, but you have to remember that as long as there are magic bachelors, we are no match. And mages... Many people who know a little trick dare to call themselves mages." Weber explained, "That Daniel obviously doesn't know the situation here, thinking that only an ordinary mage in the castle came to ask the lord to do justice for him."

"So most of the lords don't have bachelors to serve them?" Rhodes asked.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Hammer interrupted and replied, "It seems that you really should go around more to understand the basic situation of the Nord Kingdom. You must know that there are no more than fifty bachelors in the whole country. "

Rhodes nodded and asked Hammer, "Then why did Daniel come to ask for help, but was finally caught in the dungeon?"

Hammer said while eating egg fried rice, "I don't know about this, I will know when Jon comes back. He must have a headache about this matter recently."

Jon didn't return to the hall until Rhodes finished his meal.Instead of waiting in the hall for Jon to come back to explain what happened, he took the sword given by the female knight and went back to the courtyard of the castle to practice the left-handed sword...
