Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 345 Rescue Operation

After Valentine left the study, Rhodes yawned.

Why are you so sleepy all of a sudden?
He was still very energetic before, but in the middle of talking with Valentine, he suddenly felt drowsy.

It was as if he hadn't slept for several days, so sleepy that Rhodes couldn't open his eyes.

Although the Chief Grand Maester woke Rhodes up early in the morning and prevented him from sleeping well, Rhodes, whose mental strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, would not be so sleepy.

He shook his head, put his hands on the desk, rested his head on his arms, and was about to take a nap.

The next moment after Rhodes closed his eyes, he found himself in the room in the small town again.

It's been a while since he's moved to the castle, but for some reason, he keeps returning to that room every time he falls asleep.

Rhodes looked towards the window of the room, which was the entrance to the world of consciousness.

He turned his head and looked at the door behind him. There was a strong sense of calling from the direction of the door.

It seemed that something behind the door was begging him for help.

Could it be that the dream world has been invaded again, and the black cat is asking me for help?

Rhodes opened the door warily, and he opened the door a crack.

He didn't know what was beyond the door.

If the one who invaded the dream world was an existence that was too powerful to contend with or was so weird that it could not be described, it might die by opening the door.

After confirming that there was no danger around the door, Rhodes opened the door and walked in.

Boom!
A huge object fell in front of Rhodes, and the dust on the ground was raised.

"You're finally here." Rhodes saw clearly the creature in front of him, it was a black cat, and it looked very anxious.

"I have encountered some troubles in the real world." It said hastily.

"How should I help you?" Seeing the anxious look of the black cat, Rhodes didn't ask what happened to it, but wanted to know how to help it.

Rhodes and the black cat have been together for more than half a year, and they meet almost every night, so Rhodes is still willing to help it as much as possible.

And he couldn't find another cat that could be raised like this.

He doesn't need to take care of the black cat's food and drink, and he doesn't need to help it shovel its shit, nor worry about shedding its hair.

As long as you consume a little mental power every day and manifest catnip or dried fish, you can get a few handfuls, and manifesting these things is also exercising mental power.

"My body was captured by a powerful human mage. He locked me in a cage made of magic. I tried everything I could to escape that cage. He must have wanted to catch me and do something. Terrible research." The black cat quickly explained.

"Where is your body? I will rescue you right away." Rhodes asked quickly.

Rhodes felt that it would be no problem to save the black cat from the mage with his own strength. He had the dagger "Wise Men's Calamity" to restrain the mage, and a necklace "Silent Defender" that could make the target not feel the magic element. By".

And the chief maester is still in his territory, even if Rhodes can't deal with the magician himself, at least his life will not be in danger.

"I don't know where I am either." The black cat thought for a while, and raised its paw to press on Rhode's head. Rhode felt a strange energy flowing from the black cat's paw to him.

"I gave you a beacon. After you return to the real world, inject your magic power into this beacon. If there is no accident, you should be able to sense my location." The black cat said seriously.

Rhodes nodded, "Then send me out now."

As long as Rhodes and the black cat cooperate with each other, he can directly leave the dream world and wake up in the real world.

The black cat nodded.

Rhodes closed his eyes and relaxed his body, and the next moment he felt the weightlessness of falling from a high altitude.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was surrounded by an extremely familiar study room.

Rhodes stretched and stood up, sensing the mark left by the black cat on his head, and he injected the magic power in his body into the mark.

A strange feeling came from the imprint, he took out a set of armor from the space ring, and quickly put it on.

In addition to reducing most physical damage, metal armor can also improve the wearer's magic resistance. Metal can isolate most magic elements.

Even ordinary steel can isolate a small amount of magical elements.

However, because of this, people wearing metal armor cannot use most kinds of magic.

Mages generally wear cloth robes rather than armor, not because they think armor is too heavy.

However, divine arts are different from magic. Knights wearing heavy armor can still use divine arts at will, as long as their beliefs are firm enough.

Rhodes rode a war horse in the stable and galloped towards the sensed direction.

He didn't bring any soldiers with him. Ordinary soldiers without magic power in their bodies would be given for nothing in front of a powerful mage, and they wouldn't even be cannon fodder, unless these soldiers could form a battle formation.

The current location of the black cat is not far from Rhodes, just where Bachelor Eli is currently living.

Could it be that Maester Eli captured the black cat?
Rhodes on the horse suddenly thought of this possibility.

According to the direction and distance from the mark left by the black cat, he felt that this was the most probable possibility.

The horse ran fast, and dust splashed behind Rhodes.

Not long after, Rhodes stopped in front of a wooden house full of green plants.

He could sense that the black cat was trapped in this wooden house.

This wooden house has been built for at least decades away from villages and small towns.

The owner of the wooden house may have moved away or died outside due to the war, so no one lived in this wooden house before, and only travelers passing by would go in to rest.

Maester Eli saw that there was no one living in this wooden house, and there was open, arable land nearby, so he decided to make it his place to live.

He didn't choose the open space closest to the castle on the grounds that he didn't want to cause trouble to Rhodes.

The dilapidated wooden house should have been remodeled by Bachelor Eli using magic. Green vines grew from the rotten wood to repair some damaged places, making the wooden house look much more pleasing to the eye.

The door of the wooden house was opened, and Bachelor Eli came out with a simple and honest smile on his face. He probably heard the sound of horseshoes and stopped in front of the wooden house, so he came out to see what happened.

Rhodes took off the knight's helmet and put the helmet into the space ring.

"Did you come here for something, young lord?" Maester Eli asked curiously.

He can understand why Rhodes is wearing a full set of armor. Many young people like to walk around in a full set of armor, and feel uncomfortable when they go out without wearing armor.

Not to worry about their own safety, but to show off.

Armor and war horses are like luxury cars to nobles.

"My pet was caught by you. It's a cat you caught recently." Rhode replied, he sensed that the black cat was in the house in front of him.

"Oh?" Maester Eli showed a surprised look. "How do you know that I caught a cat not long ago? And are you sure that the cat you raise is such a magical creature that is about to become a demigod?"
