Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 33 Teaching
Rhodes was sitting in the caravan's carriage looking out the window and yawning. He had been teaching Lacal how to make dumplings since noon yesterday.

As a result, after Lakar learned it, he pulled him to taste dumplings with various fillings together. Rhodes stayed with him until the next morning and ended this sad journey.

I don't know why the spirit of such an old man is so good. Even a young man can't bear it, but Racal let him go when he saw that they were about to leave.

He spent the whole afternoon and one night trying dumplings stuffed with beef, dumplings stuffed with chicken, dumplings stuffed with venison... He tried all the foods that could be packed in the kitchen, and finally he even tried dumplings stuffed with bread and dumplings stuffed with dumpling skin. Tried it.

Before Lacal was going to make dumplings with some alchemy materials and try them with Rhodes, it was finally dawn, and Rhodes rejected Lacal on the grounds that he was about to leave.

Racal was not as arrogant as he imagined, but felt a little regretful, and let Rhodes leave with a sigh.

Before Rhodes left, he told Racal how to make soy sauce and vinegar, and asked him to find someone to study it, and told him that dipping in vinegar and soy sauce would make the dumplings more delicious.

Lakar didn't feel so regretful when he found out, and immediately arranged for someone to help him prepare the materials, and he wanted to conduct the experiment himself...

Although he has been busy for so long, he is still very happy to think that he will be able to eat soy sauce and vinegar Rhodes in the future. After solving the curse of Baron and Weber, he will come back here to ask Lakar for soy sauce and vinegar.

What pleased Rhodes the most before leaving here was that he sneaked into the castle's hot spring room to take a hot bath when they were all busy preparing to leave.

The carriage drove out of the gate of the castle. Rhodes looked back and remembered the appearance and name of this ancient castle, Black Mountain Fort.

The caravan slowly walked through the snow-covered mountains one after another. This caravan transported the relatively high-value specialties produced by Montenegro to the south for sale and bought some supplies back.

Because of its special terrain, Alpine Province is the coldest province in Nord except the Far North Province.Because of the environment and climate, there are many animals that do not exist in the south living in the deep mountains.

The furs of some of these animals, such as that of the phantom lynx, were favored by southern nobles.The phantom lynx is also very rare in the Alpine Province. In the past ten years, no hunter has caught one, so now its skin is sold at a sky-high price in southern Nord.

Most of the goods transported in the caravan are hides, teeth, horns and the like of some rare animals.

This caravan will go directly to their destination in Balon: Winterfell.

Rhodes couldn't understand why Jon and his family's caravan would choose to sell animal skins at the end of winter instead of before winter.

I don't know if they don't know how to do business or there are other reasons.

The caravan hung the banner of the Brad family's crossed swords, and no one came to rob them along the way, unlike when they were in Daniel's caravan before, they had to worry about it every day.

Along the way, Rhodes sat in the carriage and practiced Baoyuan Shouyi or practiced basic swordsmanship and Taizu Changquan while walking.Taizu Changquan has been upgraded to lv2 after a few days of practice, and the level of basic swordsmanship has not changed, but Rhodes' left-handed sword is almost the same as his previous right-handed sword. This may be because his body is originally very strong in all aspects. the reason.

It has been three days since they left Jon's castle, and the caravan is about to leave the fief of the Brad family.

The lazy guards in the caravan began to cheer up. Hanging their family's flag in the Brad family's fief previously could basically guarantee absolute safety, and then entering other family's territories is not necessarily the case.

Maybe the lords who feel a little hard to maintain their territory will pretend to be robbers and rob them, but this kind of thing only happens in the poor Gaoshan province, and the law and order will be much better after leaving the Gaoshan province.

It is said that things like this often happened in the Roman Empire. In order to live a more luxurious life, many nobles would not hesitate to tarnish the honor of their families, rob passing caravans, rob their goods and sell the people in the caravans as slaves.

Rhodes stopped practicing the Divine Illumination Kung Fu after countless times of running the Divine Illumination Kung Fu and felt pain in his body.He had asked Maester Rakal about this, and the maester who was obsessed with dumplings compared him to the dumpling wrapper and the energy in his body to the stuffing inside the dumpling.

If you want to pack more fillings, you need a bigger dumpling wrapper. He said that Rhodes has too much magic power in his body, so he can't store much of that strange energy, which is the internal force in Rhodes' mouth.In addition to enlarging Rhodes' dumpling wrapper, it is also possible to compress the magic power in the body, or compress the internal force to make room for other energies.

There are many ways to increase Rhodes' dumpling skin, such as bathing in dragon blood to improve his physique and affinity for magic, which is the upper limit of capacity.

When using magic, the caster uses the magic power in the body to resonate with the elements in the surrounding environment, and mobilizes the surrounding elements according to the caster's spell, so as to use powerful magic.

Only some magic is done entirely by the magic power in the caster's body, and most of them need to borrow the power of elements in the environment.

Rhodes wanted to try to draw a lottery in the drug category in the mall before, and he drew three prizes. The first time he got Shixiang Ruanjin Powder, the second time he got Xiao Huan Dan, and the last time he got Black Jade Intermittent paste.Three lottery draws failed to draw the drug he wanted that could improve his physique.

Shixiangruanjing Powder: This poison is colorless and has no fragrance. Once the drug's effect occurs, the muscles and bones of the whole body will become sore and weak. After a few days, although the actions are normal, the internal strength can no longer be exerted at all.The poison and the antidote are the same on the surface, if the poisoned person takes the poison again, he will die from exhaustion.

Xiao Huan Pill: An elixir, its color is emerald green. If you take this medicine after depleting your true qi, the hot air in the dantian will rise and the energy will permeate, which can help the recovery of power.People who practice martial arts dream of this.

Black Jade Ointment: It is the unique secret medicine of Vajra Gate. It has a black appearance and a fragrant and cool breath.Its medicinal properties are extremely miraculous. If an ordinary person suffers severe injuries to the joints of his hands and feet and becomes disabled, the injured person can still recover after applying this ointment, and gradually resume normal activities.

After these three lottery draws, Rhodes still had six chances to draw lots. He resisted the desire to continue drawing lots, and decided to wait until the critical moment before using the chances of lottery draws.

"Why are you staring blankly with your eyes closed again?" Baron said to Rhodes, who was sitting in the carriage and was running Baoyuan Shouyi.

Rhode's ecstasy was interrupted by Baron, this was the fourth time today.

Half a month of peaceful journey made Baron feel very boring, now he is always looking for someone to talk to.

"I'm doing a special kind of meditation." Rhodes replied helplessly. He had an idea and was going to teach Baron the method and essentials of Bao Yuan Shou Yi. I don't know if Baron can learn it.

"How special?" Baron asked.

"I can teach you, you sit cross-legged like me now, close your eyes..."

"Is it like this?"

"Almost, but don't talk anymore."

"Why can't I feel anything?"

"You don't speak, and you can enter that state by quietly experiencing it for 5 minutes."

"What is that state like?"

"You'll know after a while after you shut up."

"Okay, but I need a sip of water first."
