Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 40 Victory
Rhodes felt dizzy and couldn't stand up.Facing Peart's thrust, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.

The long sword pierced Rhodes' palm and got stuck inside, and Rhodes screamed in pain.

Peart, whose jaw was slapped crookedly, drew out his long sword, raised it crookedly, and prepared to give Rhodes a fatal blow.

Rhodes used his injured hand to pull out the battle ax stuck on the other arm, and he swung the battle ax towards Peart's stomach with all his strength.

Blood splattered, and Rhodes' face was covered with Peart's blood. Peart endured the pain and wanted to kill Rhodes before he died. He cut off the sword, and when the sword was about to hit Rhodes, he was killed Hitting the ground, the sword fell to the ground.

Peart opened his eyes wide to see who knocked him away, and stepped on his face, it was Aya...

……

With the help of Aya, Rhodes treated his injury with the medicine for trauma in the system.

Black Jade Ointment: It is the unique secret medicine of Vajra Gate. It has a black appearance and a fragrant and cool breath.Its medicinal properties are extremely miraculous. If an ordinary person suffers severe injuries to the joints of his hands and feet and becomes disabled, the injured person can still recover after applying this ointment, and gradually resume normal activities.

This medicine is not like the high-grade gold sore medicine that can be used three times, it can only treat trauma once.

After applying the medicine, Rhodes felt much better, but his head was still a little dizzy, would he be disfigured by that axe?He was a little scared.

After discussing with Aya, they decided to stay in this wooden house for a few days until Rhode's injury healed before leaving.

There is food, water and even a fireplace and iron pot in the log cabin.

Rhodes and Aya spent the afternoon cleaning up the corpses in the wooden house. The intact clothes and valuables were stripped off, and the corpses were thrown into a ditch far away from the wooden house.

The corpse was moved out of the wooden house, and there was still a strong smell of blood in the house. Rhodes was really exhausted and fell asleep on the only bed.

Rhodes, who killed so many people for the first time, didn't feel any guilt.

Is it because I am such a person, or is it the impression of my body that I am not afraid of killing people?
Rhodes kept thinking about this question before falling asleep. He thought that these people deserved what they deserved. He didn't know how many people they killed were turned into slaves or playthings, and he killed them to do justice for the heavens.

The law of the Nord Kingdom also stated that killing a slave trader is innocent, and if he is captured alive and handed over to the lord, he will be rewarded with ten silver coins.

If Baron killed the four of them, he might be thinking about those forty silver coins now...

When he woke up, it was already dark, and he sat up slowly from the bed, and found that the blood in the wooden house had been cleaned up, and a flame was rising in the fireplace, and above the flame was a pot, and meat floated out of the pot. The smell of soup, Aya is stirring in the pot with a long spoon.

Smelling the aroma of the broth, his stomach growled involuntarily.

"You're awake." Aya turned her head and said to Rhodes, "You can eat it right away. I found some corned beef in their backpack, and I cooked a pot of soup with this beef."

"Is there any water to drink?" Rhodes asked, he was more thirsty than hungry now.

"Here you are." Aya came over and handed him a kettle. Rhode picked up the kettle and drank it.

"I washed their kettles in the creek and filled them up again." Aya said while Rhodes was drinking water.

Rhodes wanted to ask him why he stole the dagger without saying goodbye, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

After Rhodes put down the kettle, Aya brought Rhodes a bowl of broth, "This is my first time cooking, I don't know how it tastes."

"So let me try the poison first?" Rhodes laughed.

"I didn't poison you, I really didn't poison you. If I want to kill you, I just need to cut your neck after you fall asleep." Aya quickly explained.

"Do you have the idea of ​​killing me?" Rhodes raised his head and asked in horror.

"No, I said so much just to say that I don't want to kill you." Aya explained, "The soup is a little hot, you can taste a piece of beef first."

"Then you want me to help you test whether their corned beef is poisonous?" Rhodes said jokingly again.

"No, don't eat it if you think it's poisonous." Aya said angrily. He reached out to snatch the bowl from Rhodes' hand but failed, and then glared at Rhodes angrily.

Rhodes laughed out loud. He felt that Aya was a little silly, and he couldn't tell the difference every time he was joking. A few days ago, no, it was Baron who said he was going to eat him yesterday and scared him to tears.

Rhodes tasted Aya's craftsmanship, and after taking a bite of the meat with a fork, he put down the bowl, "I think you should cook it more."

"If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it." Aya was still angry.

"You are a girl, you have such a small mind." Rhodes said.

Aya, who was still stirring the pot with a spoon, paused for a moment, "You are the girl, and you are the only one with small airs."

"How old are you?" Rhodes asked again.

"Twelve." Aya said without turning her head.

Rhodes looked at Aya's back and felt that he was like a child of eight or nine years old. He shouldn't be so young at 12 years old. Thinking about it carefully, my body is only sixteen. Although Baron always thought he was short, But he still has 1.8 meters.

"Did you often not have enough to eat before? I'm only sixteen." Rhodes said.

"You are always hungry! You are lying, how come you are only sixteen, you are so old, at least 26, and you can no longer grow taller, but I can grow taller again." Aya turned around said loudly.

Am I growing old?

Rhodes touched his face. He hadn't looked in the mirror since he left Icestone City. He used to think he was quite handsome. He only met one person who could barely compare with him along the way, and that was the very arrogant Noble knight, he has forgotten what it is called, and he fought with him once, and abused him himself, and only after that time did he start to have confidence in his own strength.

Could it be that the last time I used the dark green flame to really use my own vitality to repair the female knight's injury, then I am not at a big loss, why didn't Baron and the others tell me?

"Do I really look old?" Rhodes asked in a low voice.

Aya chuckled, "You are really stupid, I was joking with you, do you still believe it?"

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Aya to be joking and convinced himself, which made him think about it for a long time.

Aya came over, took Rhode's bowl and poured it back into the pot.

"What are you doing?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"Didn't you say it wasn't cooked? I'll help you pour it back into the pot and cook it again." Aya replied without looking back.

"Oh, but there is my saliva in it, don't you dislike it?" Rhode reminded.

Aya turned around slowly, and said blankly, "Didn't you say earlier that there was your saliva in it."

"I don't know if it's done until I eat it. Wouldn't it be possible for you to be so smart?" Rhodes replied.

Aya's chest heaved and fell with anger, and then tears flowed from his eyes.

"You can't really be a girl, you cry so much." Rhode quickly got up from the bed, "Just now I ate with a fork, but I didn't put the fork back into the bowl...I'll make dinner."
