Chapter 350 Unexpected Attack

After a busy day, Rhodes lay on the bed after taking a hot bath. Tomorrow is the weekend. According to the law he made, everyone should rest.

But after the Chief Grand Maester came back, he doubted whether he could rest on the weekend.

But Rhodes can expect that the Chief Grand Maester will not have time to come and take care of him these days.

He is still in the cabin of Bachelor Eli, and together with Bachelor Eli are studying the plant seeds collected by the merchant ship from the Kingdom of Fish.

The gold coins on the merchant ship were counted during the day, and three people teamed up to get a few hundred gold coins.

They thought they should not be discovered, but Heyman saw it, and the chief maester used magic to prove that they were not innocent.

Then Rhodes hanged them directly in the square of the town.

Corruption has a great impact on the territory, such as building a road, in case Rhodes makes them responsible.

They will definitely build a road that is not of acceptable quality and will have to pay for repairs every year.

From another perspective, their embezzlement of that money is equivalent to stealing money from Rhodes' pocket, and Rhodes will certainly not let them go.

Just as Rhodes was thinking about this, a burst of spatial fluctuations came, and a matte black dagger stabbed at his face suddenly.

Rhodes tilted his head, and if he wasn't worried that the dagger was coated with some kind of strange poison, he would have directly picked it up with a palm as hard as steel.

An assassin dressed in black, with curly black hair in a ponytail, and a masked face fell from mid-air onto Rhodes' bed. After missing a single hit, he swiped at Rhodes with a dagger.

Rhodes pinched the assassin's right wrist precisely with his hand.

Just when he was about to test the strength of his head for the assassin, he felt a whirl of dizziness.

The next moment Rhodes felt himself hit the ground, and the surrounding scene had changed. He was teleported from the castle room to an unknown mountain range, and the assassin who assassinated him was also teleported.

Rhode noticed that the assassin's left hand, which had not been used, was holding a scroll that was turning into ashes.

The assassin was probably afraid of alarming the other people in the castle, so he used a non-directional teleportation scroll to teleport Rhodes, preparing to fight him one-on-one.

There is no place to ambush here, and the assassin is probably alone.

The assassin's physique was obviously not as strong as Rhodes', and he hadn't recovered from the dizziness caused by the space teleportation.

Rhodes took out a two-handed sword from the space ring and rushed towards the masked assassin not far away.

The assassin sitting on the ground threw the dagger in his hand towards Rhodes.

The pitch-black dagger was divided into three parts and hid in the night, flying towards Rhodes rapidly.

Rhodes smiled slightly.

Even if you throw ten at a time, I can split them all with one sword.

He swept across with the sword, and all three daggers dissipated like smoke.

It's illusion!
The assassin sitting on the ground in front of Rhodes also dissipated like smoke.

The next moment, Rhodes felt a cold touch on his neck.

"Don't move." A familiar female voice came from behind, and the assassin was holding a dagger against Rhodes' neck, "Throw the sword to the ground."

Rhodes dropped the sword on the ground cooperatively. In fact, he didn't panic at all. Although the masked female assassin was standing behind him with a dagger on his neck, but they were so close that Rhodes didn't wave it at the female assassin. The instant punch of the dagger severely wounded her to the point of death.

And he has the iron cloth shirt with golden bell cover and Shenzhao skill, and there are also healing medicines such as Huanhun pill and purple jade ginseng in the system space, so it is basically impossible to die.

This time he was careless, he hadn't fought anyone with similar strength for too long, and he had never encountered such an illusion assassin.

"What do you want?" Rhodes asked calmly.

"What do you think I want?" the female assassin teased with a smile.

"Roar!" Rhodes suddenly used a war cry at this time, and took advantage of the moment when the female assassin lost her mind, turned around and slapped her on the body.

"Do you know why assassins wear masks? In addition to preventing others from remembering your face, it can also prevent you from dying of talking too much."

Rhodes felt as if the palm had hit the air, and the female assassin's body dissipated like smoke.

Is this also an illusion?
Rhodes used the mage ball and found out with mental power that the real female assassin was actually sitting on the ground and resting...

Hot flames ignited in Rhodes' hands, and just as Rhodes was about to use the flame palm to slap the female assassin, she suddenly shouted

"Stop, stop! I'm just playing with you, why are you so serious?"

"As soon as I came up, stabbed me in the face with a dagger, and sent me here with a space scroll, is this considered playing with me?" Rhodes still slapped the palm.

He felt that what the female assassin said was actually delaying time, and wanted to wait until he fully recovered.

The female assassin sitting on the ground quickly rolled over, avoiding the oncoming giant flaming hands.

"It's just an illusion to stab you with a dagger. Why should I kill you for no reason?" the female assassin said angrily.

Rhodes knew that many people wanted to kill him, such as the son of the Marquis Marquis and the nobles of the Roman Empire.

So he slapped the female assassin several times in a row.

The bright flames illuminated all the surrounding rocks, but the female assassin dodged unscathed.

"Inject the magic power into your space ring and feel it well to know what I am here for. You were so weak a year ago and I failed to kill you. You should thank me now." The female assassin wiped her sweat Said on the side.

She still had lingering fears about Rhode's attack just now. She was sweating from the high temperature just standing next to the giant flaming hands flying over. If she was hit, she would definitely be disfigured.

Rhodes remembered who this female assassin was. She was the one who suddenly attacked the caravan a year ago, and then used the space scroll to transport him to Winterfell Province, and took away his and Aya's space ring.

Unexpectedly, a year later, she came again.

And counting the time, almost exactly one year.

Rhodes felt angry when he thought of this woman. If it wasn't for her, he could have grown his strength steadily without encountering so many ravages.

In fact, think about it, the dragon man's poisonous plan was for nothing, it was of no use, and he lost such a useful sword as Sheng Xie.

"I have collected all my rings, and now I only need these two in your hands. Are you willing to sell them to me?" Seeing that Rhodes was silent, the female assassin asked again.

"So you were going to grab it directly, but you said you wanted to buy it when you couldn't beat it, right?" Rhode snorted.

"Hey, I didn't expect to be discovered by you." The female assassin smiled awkwardly, "Tell me, how much are you going to sell it to me?"

"When did I say I would sell it to you? And shouldn't the correct plot be that I knock you down, snatch my ring back, and then hang you?" Rhode's fist glowed with golden light.

No matter what the female assassin would say, he must give her a good lesson first.
