Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 371
"It's been a long time since what you said." On the other side, an adventurer who was also drunk came over. He was wearing a steel horned helmet, and he was as strong as a cow.

"Then what do you think is happening in the south now?" asked the adventurer who spoke earlier. He had long brown hair and strangely shaped tattoos on his face. His hair was very greasy, and it seemed that he hadn't washed it for many days. .

"I just came here in the last few days. On the way here, I heard that the Roman Empire was also in trouble. Several of the most powerful tribes in the eastern grasslands united to invade them." Adventure wearing a horned helmet explained.

"Haha, they exiled that duke and cleaned out all the nobles who supported him. It would be strange if the grassland people didn't come to plunder them. It was the duke who was responsible for helping the empire resist the grassland people in the past." The brown-haired adventurer He laughed and said, "In this way, the crisis in the south should be almost resolved, and the stupid imperial pigs can only go back to their own pigsty."

"I also heard that it was the emperor's exiled younger brother who was hunted all the way to the grassland, and then those tribal leaders who had a good relationship with him spontaneously united to avenge him.

Although the duke and the tribal leaders were enemies at the beginning, they had long become good friends because of the truce and trade a few years ago. "The adventurer wearing the horn helmet said again.

"I think I've heard of you before. Are you called 'Mad Cow'?" the brown-haired man ventured to ask.

"I didn't expect me to have such a reputation. My nickname is indeed 'Mad Cow', but I prefer to be called by my name, Sebas." The adventurer wearing a horned helmet smiled after hearing this.

The two drunken adventurers chatted enthusiastically across Rhodes, which made Rhodes feel a little embarrassed.

"I'll change seats with you, you two sit together." Rhodes said to Sebastian next to him.

"Don't be so troublesome, I think it's fine now." He waved his hand.

"Why did you come here at such a young age?" Sebastian looked at Rhodes and asked.

"Do you think young people are generally not strong enough?" Rhodes asked.

"Even if you are very powerful, it is not a wise choice to come here. This place is many times more dangerous than you imagined. You are so young and still have a choice. You should go back to your hometown, even if you are an ordinary Farmers are much better than being adventurers like us." The brown-haired adventurer replied.

Rhodes felt that this brown-haired adventurer should be tired of the life of an adventurer. He looked at least in his 40s and had no companions by his side. It was very normal to have such thoughts.

"Did you lose some companions recently?" Sebas asked.

The brown-haired adventurer sighed, "If I had another chance to choose, I would definitely not go to the Dragon Chasing Castle in the north with my team."

"It's the same with me. You must have never experienced the feeling of a familiar companion being swallowed whole in front of you. At that time, we were walking in the snow that was colder than this, and a big bug suddenly came out of the ground, and the poor Frank, Hannah, and Vic swallowed them alive one by one, and only I escaped from there," Sebas said.

"It's not bad, at least they didn't suffer too much pain before they died. I just witnessed my companion being torn into pieces by those disgusting sub-dragons a few days ago, and then scrambling to eat them." Brown hair The adventurer took up Rhodes' glass and drank it down. "Every time I lose my companion, I get drunk like this. I don't know how many times I've been so drunk."

"Me too." Sebastian also drank the wine in the glass. Unlike the brown-haired adventurer, he drank his own wine.

Rhodes stood up, sat at another less crowded table, ordered a piece of roast bison from the tavern maid, and began to eat. He was not interested in other people's misery. The situation of various forces, especially those related to people he knew.

"Do you know the recent situation of the Knights of the Glorious Cross?" Rhodes asked an adventurer next to him wearing Milan-style knight armor. Usually, only southern knights would wear this kind of armor.

"Knights of the Glorious Cross? Didn't they disappear a year or two ago?" The adventurer looked at Rhodes strangely.

"How did their Knights be destroyed?" Rhodes asked in surprise.

"It's too complicated to explain. To put it simply, they are not good at managing territories, and they don't understand politics. They didn't make good friends with the great nobles in the empire. When Duke Elvis was exiled, the great nobles of the empire defined them as The duke's accomplices, by the way, disposed of this knight order that could not bring them any benefits but was meddlesome. Nobles who joined this knight order were convicted of treason, and even their hereditary territories were divided up. "The adventurer explained.

"Then have all the knights been killed?" Rhodes asked.

"No, some insignificant people in the Knights survived, and those with a slightly higher status or a little reputation basically died, but those who survived became wandering knights hunted down by the empire. I met a few members of their knight order in Chasing Dragon Fort, and what I told you just now was also heard when they talked about themselves with others." The adventurer replied.

"Continue to tell me what you know. I will pay for your drinks today." Rhodes called a tavern maid and asked her to fill the wine glass in front of the adventurer.

"Why do they still come here in this situation? Shouldn't they find a place to find a way to make a comeback?" Rhodes asked again.

"Who knows, maybe it has something to do with their teachings, or they came here because they got an oracle." The adventurer took a few sips from his wine glass.

"Then do you know which tavern they live in now?" Rhodes asked again.

"I don't know, I guess I haven't come back yet, because Duke Ulver is worried that the adventurers will easily collapse and cause chaos when they evacuate, so our adventurers were the first to leave Dragon Castle. I remember that they were not with our adventurers at the time." Leaving there, they should plan to evacuate with the Duke's army. If they are still alive, you can see them in the city in a few days." The adventurer replied.

Rhodes nodded, and after asking the adventurer a few more questions about Chasing Dragon Fort, he left the wine table and returned to the room on the second floor of the tavern.
