Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 404
The three of them rode into the small village. The surrounding villagers did not look at them with strange eyes, but continued to be busy with their work, as if adventurers like them often came in this village.

There is a forest growing in the northwest of this village, and a very wide lake in the south. The cold climate here is not suitable for farming, so the villagers living here mainly obtain food through hunting and fishing. fishing net.

The three found a tavern-like hut in the village.

"Go in and warm up, eat some hot food, and continue on the road." Al said.

Rhodes nodded, he got off the horse, and then tied the horse to a tree trunk beside him.

He felt that he didn’t really need to rest, but their horses needed to stop to drink and eat. There wasn’t even a single weed along the way. If you want to feed the horses, you can only buy them in human gathering places, no matter how small the village is. You can certainly find foods like wheat and rye here too.

The vagabond singer pushed open the door of the tavern impatiently and got in. The temperature outside was still too low for an ordinary person like him.

After confirming that the horses were fastened, Rhodes also opened the door and walked in. He was surprised to find that Michel and Sven were also in the tavern, and there were three wounded knights beside them.

The remaining knights of the Glorious Cross Knights probably died in yesterday's battle.

After seeing Rhodes walking into the tavern, Michel and Sven didn't change their expressions, as if they didn't see Rhodes, the five of them continued to focus on the food in front of them.

Now it is definitely not Misail who has the right to control her body, but the "Lord of Radiance" she believes in.

Rhodes felt that it might be Misail who fell into a near-death state again during the battle, so the Lord of Radiance stole control of his body again.

The last time Rhodes said her name in front of Misel who was possessed by the Lord of Radiance, allowing her to regain control of her body, and using this method this time will definitely not have any effect.

Otherwise, Sven and other members of their knight order must have unconsciously allowed her to regain control of her body.

Sven and the others didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and Rhodes was hesitating whether to tell them.

If he told them, there might be a battle between him and the Lord of Radiance.

Although he is not afraid of fighting, he feels that this matter is very troublesome. The Lord of Radiance uses Michel's body, and even if he wins, it will definitely hurt Michel.

Maester Rakar said before that the chief maester could solve the problem of the two souls in Michel's body, but now that the chief maester has died, he doesn't know who can solve this problem.

"Don't stare at people like this, your saliva will drip." A strong middle-aged man came over and knocked on Rhode's table. He should be the owner of this tavern.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked again.

"Just be the same as them." Rhode pointed to Shi Wen's table.

"I'm the same as him." Al said, "Do you have any food for the horses here? Our three horses are still tied outside."

"How about some straw for them?" asked the tavernkeeper.

"Don't be kidding, the three of them are high-quality northern warhorses, how can they eat this kind of thing?" Achim said loudly, as if he wanted to let everyone in the tavern hear his words.

"Feed me some water and oats, I saw that the bread on their table is made of oats." Al said.

The tavern owner nodded, then turned and walked towards the back kitchen.

It didn't take long for him to come over with hot grilled deer steak, fish soup and bread and put them on Rhodes' table.

"These are all ready-made, and they only need to be heated, so they are very fast." The tavern owner said while putting down the plate.

Rhodes picked up the knife and fork and began to eat. Although the tavern was small, the sanitary conditions were good. The knives, forks and plates were washed very clean, and it didn't feel greasy like other taverns.

Boom!
The door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a man in his 30s walked in with a lute behind his back and a one-handed sword hanging from his waist.

He stood at the door watching for a long time, and finally sat next to Rhodes.

This table can seat four people. Al and Achim sit on one side, and Rhodes sits opposite Al, so there is an empty seat next to Rhodes.

"Are you also planning to go back to the south?" Achim asked while eating, probably because he saw that the other party's occupation was the same as his, so he became interested.

"Back to the south?" the man next to Rhodes said with some doubts.

"Yeah, the battle is over, you're not someone who just came from the south," Achim said.

"I just recently graduated from the School of Bards in the Fish Kingdom. I rushed over immediately after hearing that there was such an epic battle in the north. Alas, I didn't expect it to be a step too late." The man sighed.

Rhodes felt that the man's voice and appearance were a bit familiar. He thought about it carefully, and then asked, "Is your name Miles?"

"Do you know me?" The man looked at Rhodes with some surprise.

"I've seen your performance in a tavern in Ebony City before." Rhodes replied.

"That was already ten years ago. I didn't expect anyone in the Nord Kingdom to remember me." Miles said with some emotion.

"Didn't you say you were going to the north? Why did you go to the Bard Academy in the Fish Kingdom in the south? Did you run into someone else's boat after getting drunk, and they dragged you to the south by the way?" Rhodes was a little curious about this. What happened to the Miles of the world.

"That's not true. I want to study at the Bard Academy after earning some money in the North. If I can't even write complete poems, how can I achieve great success in this area." Myers shook his head.

"Myers?" Achim said the name several times, and he showed a surprised expression, "Are you the same Miles who won the team championship in the last Gulfstream City Athletic Conference?"

"It's better not to mention this matter, it's been so many years." Miles said with some embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" Rhodes asked with some doubts. He didn't expect Miles in this world to win the team competition of the Gulfstream City Athletic Conference.

"Everyone who heard about this incident felt disdainful about his title of champion, because his performance in the tournament was really..." Achim was interrupted by Myers in the middle of his speech.

"Forget it, let me explain this myself. Didn't I go back to the south by boat? Then I had some...conflicts with the crew on that boat.

It happened that the cousin who was taken by the Duke of Everwinter was also on the pier. He was a man full of justice, and he helped me solve this matter afterwards.

He was going to participate in the team competition of the athletic conference, and their team happened to be short of one person, so he let me join their team. His strength is much higher than that of the participants, even though I am not good at fighting at all, Still won the team championship. "Myers explained.

"I feel a little ashamed now when I look back on my performance on the court, and in front of so many people." He continued.

"I seem to have heard of it too, are you the one rolling in the mud with two shields?" Rhodes showed a suddenly realized expression.
