Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 34 The Boy and the Attack (4000 words)
The caravan did not stop at any city along the way, but only bought food from the villagers when passing through some small villages and towns.

After leaving the territory of the Brad family, only a group of ordinary robbers with no eyesight tried to rob the caravan, and then they were picked up by Baron, who had itchy hands.

At that time, Baron asked other people not to intervene. He wanted to single out the eleven robbers who looked very tough on the opposite side.

But in the end Baron proved that the toughness of the eleven bandits really looked like, after the fight, no one could stand in front of him for two seconds.

In the end, one person was all captured, and then handed over to the sheriff of a small village in exchange for a bounty.

Rhodes tried his best to teach Baoyuan Shouyi to Baron, but Baron couldn't sit quietly for more than 5 minutes. In the end, Weber, who was watching the fun, mastered Baoyuan Shouyi, but there was no system The effect of the blessing is much worse than that of Rhodes.

But the effect made Weber, who doesn't know magic, very satisfied. On the third day after learning it, he used the first magic in his life for the first time: Flame Tongue.

Even the successful use of such a simple magic made him excited to pull Baron on all day when no one was talking.

After that, no matter whether Rhodes is boxing or practicing sword, someone will come to watch.

"What's the use of practicing boxing every day? It's better to practice more swords. No matter how strong your fists are, they are not as lethal as a sword." Baron, who had nothing to do, said to Rhodes who was practicing Taizu Changquan. "I'm not lying to you. There used to be a Nord who was famous for his fists. No one in the entire Nord Kingdom was his opponent. In the end, he ran to the Roman Empire and was killed by a knight servant who just got a sword. There is more than one story like this, there is another person..."

The sword given to Rhodes by the female knight and the damaged "Wise Men's Calamity" were taken by Hamer, who was so bored until he was asleep, to study the forging process inside, and maybe he could learn something from it to enhance his blacksmithing skills.

The caravan camped next to the road last night and has not set off yet. Rhodes took advantage of this time to practice Taizu Changquan.

During this period of time, he upgraded Taizu Changquan to lv4, completed the last weekly mission, and received another mission that was also for practicing martial arts. This time, he only needed to upgrade any martial arts to lv5.

Taizu Changquan didn't have an additional effect at level 3 like the iron cloth shirt, which made Rhodes a little regretful.The last weekly task draw drew a pair of head-catching boots, that is, a pair of black cowhide boots, which can improve movement speed and dodge ability, so he put them on directly.

Baron is still not suitable for long-distance travel, especially this kind is not magnificent at all.With nothing to do, he can annoy the people around him to the point of autism, and now people in the caravan will deliberately avoid him when they see Baron.

Rhodes finally understood why Tang Seng talked too much. Like Baron, he probably talked too much during this long journey, and he could drag anyone to talk for a whole day.

However, Rhodes was almost immune to Baron's talkativeness, and he could practice martial arts all day while Baron was chanting sutras.

In the end, it was because Baron felt that Rhodes was bored by ignoring him, and went to talk to the next victim.

Hamer is the opposite of Baron. Recently, he can sit and sleep all day in the carriage every day. He didn't wake up last time Baron dealt with the group of robbers.

The caravan started to set off again, and according to the leader of the caravan, it will leave Alpine Province and reach Winterfell Province in another week.They usually go to Dragonfire Province where the capital is located, but this time they went to Winterfell Province because of Baron and the others.

But it was still an attempt. I never knew whether the goods from the caravan could be sold at a good price in Winterfell Province.

After Rhodes finished punching, the caravan had already walked several hundred meters away, and he was about to run to catch up.This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Recently, he has practiced too selflessly. Even if he is reminded, he will choose to finish the whole set before leaving.

After Rhodes closed his fist, he heard a rustling sound from the woods behind him. He looked back at the completely extinguished bonfire left by the camp yesterday, and saw nothing wrong.

A purple-black light rose from Rhodes' hand. He used gravity. Is it not appropriate to call it gravity? Recently, this magic is not using its function similar to the mage's hand, but using it to use the spirit Try to observe your surroundings.

After Rhodes used the gravitational technique, he used his mental power to attach to the light sphere of the gravitational technique. He could observe the surroundings like a see-through, and he could see things behind various obstacles, but it was a pity that he couldn't see through the clothes. …

The woods could no longer block Rhode's sight. He saw an eight or nine-year-old child squatting behind a tree holding his breath, probably because he was afraid that Rhode would find him.

Could he be a spy who was snatched by a certain group to investigate the situation of this caravan? Even if he was caught, it would be because he was a child, and we would not do anything to him.

Rhodes canceled the gravity spell, pretended not to notice him, pretended to be looking for something on the ground, and slowly approached that direction. When he was more than ten meters away from the tree, he rushed towards the tree.

The child hiding behind the tree turned around and ran, and Rhodes followed him.Rhodes ran much faster than him, and Rhodes threw the child to the ground with a swoop and pressed him to the ground.

The child struggled frantically on the ground, kicking Rhodes with his legs, scratching his face with his hands, and biting his hands with his mouth.

Rhodes pressed the child face down on the ground, pinched his neck, pressed his two legs with his own calf, and fixed him firmly on the ground.

"Who are you?" Rhodes asked as he took out a rope from the space ring, and tied the boy's hands with the rope.

Baron returned the interspatial ring to Rhodes before he set off. Just as Rhodes thought, there was a lot of wine in it.

The boy lowered his head firmly without saying a word, Rhodes tied his legs with a rope again, carried them on his shoulders and walked towards the direction where the caravan went away, on Rhodes' shoulders he was still Constantly struggling.

"What's the use if you break free successfully, you're still tied with a rope." Rhodes said to the boy who was struggling hard on his shoulders.

The boy didn't listen to his advice, but struggled harder as if angry. Rhodes put him on his lap and slapped his ass hard with his hands, and then he became honest.

The boy has flaxen-gray hair that is long enough to cover his ears.The clothes he was wearing were all muddy, as if he hadn't changed his clothes after living in the wild for many days. Rhodes even felt a little disgusted carrying him.

Rhode noticed that the boy's ungloved hands were red from the cold and covered with frostbite. He sighed, and took a pair of his own spare deerskin gloves from the space ring to put on the boy.

Rhodes returned to the caravan, and he met Baron who was bragging with a caravan guard at the end of the caravan.

"Who is this person you are carrying?" Baron asked curiously as Rhodes walked over.

"I don't know. I saw him sneaking around in the camp we left before. He ran away as soon as he saw me, like a robber's spy. After he was caught, he didn't say a word." Rhodes will The boy was dumped in an open van.

"Then give him to me. You know I like to eat children's meat the most. Last time the kid was a little fat and I felt a little greasy after roasting it. Seeing that he is evenly fat and thin, let's use it to make soup." Baron said The child said seriously, showing a mouth full of white teeth.

The boy raised his head in horror, his face was covered with dust, but it could still be described as exquisite.

"Ah, you look delicious. Isn't the stew a bit wasteful? Let's eat it directly." Balon licked his lips with his tongue, walked towards the little boy, and held him with one hand. Lifted it up, "It's a pity that it's too light and has no meat, but I like to chew on bones."

The boy was so frightened by Baron that tears came out. He was struggling desperately, trying to break free from Baron's grasp.

"Don't eat me, I don't taste good at all, I haven't showered for several days, my meat must taste sour." The boy said with tears.

"Haha, it's okay, I like to eat sour food, it doesn't taste so greasy, usually I eat barbecue with sour wine. Don't worry, my barbecue skills are very good, and I will roast you until the outside is charred and the inside is tender Yes, with a pinch of fine salt, it must be delicious." Baron said with a big laugh.

The boy burst into tears, "I just wanted to find something to eat, but I didn't expect to be eaten by you, you bad guys."

Seeing him crying, Baron was a little embarrassed and didn't continue to scare him. Rhode couldn't help laughing when he saw them.

He took out a piece of white bread made by the castle cook from the space ring and handed it to the little boy. The bread was still steaming hot when it was just put in the space ring.

The little boy was sitting in the back of a carriage, holding the bread and gobbling it up. It looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time. He didn't know why such a young child would appear in such a wilderness.

He ate in a hurry and choked on the bread. Rhodes passed another pot of warm water in the space ring. Rhodes had never eaten anything like the one sold in the bakery before crossing in this world. Fine bread.Even the bread eaten by the nobles made him feel his mouth twitching.

"Don't eat in such a hurry, no one is robbing you, don't stare at me like this, I won't really eat you..." While the boy was eating bread, Baron sat next to him and kept staring at him. said, "What's your name?"

The boy said vaguely while eating. "My parents call me Aya."

Rhode found a car far away from Baron and got in it, and took out a book from the space ring that he borrowed from Lakar to pass the time.

Lakar is worthy of being a bachelor. In his private library in the basement of the castle, there are nearly tens of thousands of books written on sheepskin.

The paper industry in this world is underdeveloped, so it can only produce some poor-quality yellow paper, and the books carrying valuable knowledge are still recorded on animal skins.Animal hides have a stench after being left for a long time, and the smell of Racal's library is simply touching.

"What else do you have to eat? This kid said he wasn't full." Baron took Aya to find Rhodes who had just started reading.

This book tells the story of a free rider wandering the continent and finally becoming a knight. It can be summed up as a story of a mercenary with a horse following a lord to fight around and then rape and plunder along the way.

The explicit description in it made Rhodes, an old driver, blush a little.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Rhodes closed the book solemnly.

"I still have some food here. If he eats again, he might be stuffed to death. If he is hungry for a long time, he will feel full after a while. The bread I gave him just now can almost make me [-]% full." Luo De replied.

"Is he going with us?" Rhodes asked.

Baron nodded: "He said he lived in the wild with his family, and a group of robbers found them and occupied their house. They were about to run into the city, but they met another group of robbers on the way, and then he and his family Parents separated, he has been hungry for many days, just wanted to find something to eat at the camp we left, and you found him. He is now homeless, I think he is very poor, and he has nowhere to go, Why don't you just join us, I happen to have one more person to talk to."

Rhodes has no objection to these, and Weber and the others shouldn't object either.

"Then do you want hot water to help him wipe his face clean?" Rhodes asked, and he felt like he had said something nonsense as soon as he said it.

There is not much hot water in the space ring, and it is enough to wipe your face. Rhodes took out a pot of hot water and a new towel from the space ring, and handed them to Baron.

After Baron wiped Aya's face clean, he looked more like a girl than a boy.

"Are you a boy or a girl?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"Of course I'm a boy," Aya replied.

Could it be that after staying with a group of rough guys for a long time, seeing a little boy feels pretty?
To be honest, Rhodes hadn't seen any women except the fat-free cook and the very old maid in Montenegro Castle.

No, there is another female knight who may be good-looking, but may also be big and round.

After washing Aya's face, Baron found that he could barely open his eyes.

"Are you sleepy now?" Baron asked.

The boy nodded.

"Let me help you find a warmer place to rest." Baron suggested.

Before he could answer, Rhodes found that he had fallen asleep leaning on Baron.

Baron also found out, and he carried the boy to the compartment where Hammer slept, and let Aya sleep in the compartment.

After that, Baron returned to the side of Rhodes who had started to read again, and began to share with him the experience that he hadn't taken Rhodes on adventures in his early years.

It's not the first time Rhodes has heard these things. Although Baron's words are different every time, he is really tired of hearing them.

Listening to it, he felt that he was sleepy. He wondered if Baron's words had a magical power that could hypnotize people. Not only people, but even the horses that pulled the carriage were said to have fallen asleep. Baron himself Said to be asleep by himself.

No, Rhodes bit the tip of his tongue to cheer himself up. It wasn't that Baron's words had a hypnotic effect, but someone was lying in ambush.

He stood up from the carriage, and felt dizzy as soon as his feet touched the ground, and his body went limp and fell to the ground...
