Chapter 348 Returning Merchant Ship
In the end, Rhodes gave the white cat to Baron to take care of. It happened that he had nothing to do every day, and he seemed to like the white cat very much.

After being caught by the white cat, Baron didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled, although the smile looked a little ferocious on his somewhat ferocious face.

Rhodes returned to his study and continued to write the plan for the territory for the next six months, and the Chief Grand Maester had to check it when he came back at night.

The real life of a lord is still somewhat different from what Rhodes imagined, and now he would rather go back to be an adventurer.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have participated in the war last year. Instead, he would have gone to the south of the Roman Empire. It is said that there are many inhuman intelligent races living in the desert there.

After that, you can go to the eastern grassland to see the scenery there, as well as the northernmost part of Nord and another continent to the west. Rhodes wants to see it now...

At night, Rhodes lay in bed and entered the dream world again.

The black cat snoozing on the ground spotted Rhodes and rushed towards him.

"You didn't want to save me, and even murdered me with that vicious-looking savage." The black cat said angrily.

"He's not trying to harm you, he just likes to touch you." Rhode deftly dodged the black cat's pounce. "By the way, he will take care of you for a while."

"I'd rather go back to the wild and live alone, although the fish here is delicious." The black cat saw that Rhodes hadn't been touched after several attacks, so it stopped moving, sat on the spot and began to lick its paws, as if recalling dinner the taste of.

It suddenly remembered something "now everything is your fault, whether I was caught by that old man or raped by that barbarian, it is your responsibility to trace the root cause. If you don't catch my believer , I can continue to live a good life as before.”

"Such a beautiful life? If your believers can't even support themselves without begging and stealing, how good can you live?" Rhodes asked back.

The black cat thought about it, and the life in the past was indeed not very good. The food he ate was food that was about to go rancid, or even rotten. Thanks to its special constitution, it would not die of food poisoning.

Seeing that the black cat didn't speak, Rhode asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time during the day, "Why are you black here, but white in the real world?"

The black cat's body in the real world can't speak the lingua franca of humans, but Rhodes can still understand that the vocal cords of cats are different from those of humans, making it difficult to use human language.

The bison can speak the lingua franca of mankind, and it also uses a method similar to ventriloquism to make sounds.

"Stupid, haven't you heard that dreams are reversed? I am white in the real world, but of course I am black in the dream world." The black cat replied impatiently.

Rhodes was a little speechless. According to the black cat, isn't that white man a black man in the dream world?
"I haven't asked you all this time, do you have a name?" Rhodes asked again.

"No." The black cat showed a look of disdain, "How can a cat living in the wild have a name? Only stupid cats raised in captivity by you humans have names, and you think cats will call each other like you humans name?"

Rhodes nodded, "Then I'll call you Kate from now on."

"Do you want to die? You gave me such an ugly name." The black cat glared at Rhodes fiercely.

"Forget it, you should think about it yourself, you better hurry up, or in a few days, the barbarian you are talking about will definitely call you Xiaobai and Mimi, which are common names for cats. For the rest of your life, no matter how ashamed you feel, everyone will call you that." Rhode spread his hands.

"Call me whatever you want, as long as I ignore you, it's not me," the black cat snorted and turned around to play with the calf next to it.

Wouldn't it be very interesting if Bison knew that black cats have the same fighting power as ordinary domestic cats in the real world?

This wicked idea suddenly appeared in Rhodes' mind.

Forget it, let the buffalo discover the true identity of the new member of the castle on its own.

Rhodes walked aside and started practicing martial arts.

There is no problem with his combat power against ordinary humans, but there are too many mysterious and unknown things in this world.

For example, some time ago, he was suddenly drawn to the world by the son of the Marquis Marquis, a world full of despair and madness.

Rhodes had a feeling that that world wasn't like this in the first place, but was polluted by something later. Despair filled that world, and as time passed, everything in it would become crazy.

And there was no shortage of powerful beings in that world. Rhodes could sense a few coercions that were so powerful that he felt a little suffocated. It should be that they noticed the two humans who broke into that world and turned their attention to them.

They should be demigods at the same level as the Holy Spirit...

For this reason, Rhodes has been practicing Tathagata God's Palm for a while, practicing mental techniques in the real world, and practicing moves in the dream world. He feels that he will definitely be able to use this martial art in the future.

Rhodes felt that after practicing Tathagata God's Palm, in addition to improving his physical fitness, his mental strength and five senses were also enhanced a lot. Both his eyesight and hearing were much better than before.

If you continue to practice like this, you may be able to master Buddhist supernatural powers such as Tianyantong, Tianertong, and other mind-opening.

Rhodes was woken up again by the Chief Grand Maester.

"Hey, when I was young like you, I got up to read at dawn every day, and now it's eight o'clock, and you're still sleeping in bed." The Chief Grand Maester sighed standing in front of Rhode's bed.

Rhodes locked the door every night, but he still couldn't escape the clutches of the chief maester.

It is estimated that for the chief scholar, such a short-distance teleportation from his own room to Rhodes' room is nothing at all.

With his total mana, using continuous teleportation of this distance, the mana consumption may not be as fast as his recovery.

Rhodes thought about it. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was still in high school. At that time, he started studying every day before dawn. Compared with me, you are a younger brother.

He didn't say it, though, and began to dress in silence.

He felt that he was not like an evil lord at all, but like a worker.

I don't know when the chief scholar will be able to leave here...

"The caravan you sent to trade with the prince of the Fish Kingdom has returned. It is said that the ship is full of gold coins and gems, at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins." The chief scholar said again, "You'd better go and count them yourself. Next, the people on the boat have no chance to steal much, but the clerks in the small town may not.

But you can leave it alone for the time being, and after some people find a way to get greedy for ink, you can deal with them publicly, which happens to be able to rectify the atmosphere. "

The crew and sailors will conduct a body search when they disembark, and it is indeed unlikely that they will steal money.

And with the cooperation of those clerks, it is still easy to find a way to swallow a large sum of money.

It is impossible for Rhodes to count so many things by himself, and some clerks will definitely be responsible, and those gold coins and gems always need to be moved from the ship, there are too many tricks that can be done in the middle.

The most important thing is that Rhodes asked Heyman, who was in charge of the business, to show his trust in Prince Joyce of the Fish Kingdom, and dragged him back without counting over there.

There are no more than ten people on board who can count, and they can't count if they want to count them. It's better to show some trust in Prince Joyce.

In other words, Rhodes didn't even know how much money Prince Joyce gave him. He could only know how much Prince Joyce should give him based on the quantity of goods.

But thinking about it, there shouldn't be any less. Prince Joyce values ​​noble honors more, and this is the first time he has done business.

"I'll go to the pier after breakfast." Rhodes opened the door and walked out.
