Chapter 44 Identity
Rhodes and the huntress moved the werewolf's body to another place. Who knew if the smell of blood would attract any beasts.

There was still a faint smell of blood on the ground. After the werewolf had his throat cut by the huntress, he bled a lot on the ground. Rhodes built another fire at that location.

After doing this, Rhodes didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was even so excited that he wanted to find someone to fight.

"Since you're in such good spirits, then you can watch the whole night." Seeing that Rhodes was still very excited, the huntress said with a yawn.

Rhodes thought about it. He didn't sleep much yesterday, and the day before yesterday was similar. If he didn't sleep today, would he die suddenly?
"I'll just keep watch in the first half of the night, and you will watch it in the second half of the night." Rhodes rejected the huntress.

The huntress nodded, fell asleep on the fur bed she had brought.

Aya sat on the ground with a pale face and her body trembling slightly. She had just been frightened by the ferocious appearance of the werewolf, and she has not yet recovered from the fear.

"Are you so timid?" Rhodes laughed softly.

Aya came back to her senses and said angrily, "You are the one who is timid."

Rhode suddenly became quiet with a smile, his expression changed, and he stared at Aya.

Aya was so frightened that she didn't move and didn't dare to look up, and asked in a low voice, "What's on top of me?" Her voice was trembling with fear.

"Don't move yet, a leaf is about to fall from above." Rhodes said seriously.

After Aya heard it, she still sat still, and it took a long time to realize what Rhodes said. She hit him hard, and then lay on the ground with her back to him, ready to sleep and ignore him.

Rhodes was a little helpless, wondering if there was any medicine for a person like Aya who had the negative effect of "Wise Men's Calamity".

He sat next to the fire and played with the fire boredly. After feeling the middle of the night, he woke up the huntress and replaced her with the vigil. He leaned against a tree and began to hold Yuanshouyi.

In the morning, they just rinsed their mouths, casually ate some black bread that was almost as hard as wood in their backpacks, and continued on the road.

According to the huntress, if you walk fast, you can get out of the forest before dark today and reach Shuanglin Town next to the forest.

After asking the huntress, Rhodes found out that they were teleported to the Winterfell Province. If Baron traveled at the same speed as before, they would still stay in the Alpine Province. Only meters high snow-capped mountains can reach Winterfell Province.

On the way Rhodes and the others left the forest, they didn't encounter any more dangers. With their rich experience, the huntress took them away from an adult saber-toothed tiger.

Rhode saw the saber-toothed tiger in the distance, which made him a little frightened. Its size almost caught up with the wild boar he killed. Such a huge cat can be called the god of death in the forest.

The Huntress said that it could easily kill a group of five well-armed Fish Kingdom heavy sergeants if it were to sneak up on it.

Rhodes didn't really believe it. After all, the Fish Kingdom's army had never invaded the Nord Kingdom's mainland, so how could she know the result of such a battle.

When the sun was about to set, Rhodes and the others walked out of the forest and arrived at a small town built next to the forest.This small town is very lively, it is not yet spring and the sun is about to set, there are many merchants hawking on the street, and there are many adventurers with weapons coming and going on the street.

"Why are there adventurers here?" Rhodes asked the huntress curiously.

"I told you that there is a legend that there is a tomb of a great Nord nobleman in this forest. They want to find the tomb to get the treasure inside, and a long time ago, a Duke of Winterfell Province issued a reward, saying that if they can solve this Because of the abnormality of this forest, he was made a knight, so many adventurers come here every year, and they are going to explore the forest in spring." The huntress explained.

"Aren't they afraid that someone will go into the forest in winter and find it before them?" Rhodes asked.

"How come, countless adventurers come here every year. It has been hundreds of years, and no one has found it. Now many adventurers come here not entirely to find the tomb, but to join in the fun, and by the way I can make a little money by hunting." The huntress said, "Okay, now that you have left the forest and our deal is done, I will go first."

"We don't know your name yet," Rhodes said.

"No need, you didn't tell me, let's meet again in the future." After finishing speaking, the huntress left.

"Are you following me or something?" Rhodes turned around and asked Aya next to him.

"I have no money, and my parents don't know where to go. Where can I go?" Aya said.

"Aren't you going back to the north to continue being a noble lady?" Rhodes asked.

"I finally escaped, how could I go back like this..." Aya half realized that he had slipped his tongue.

Rhodes smiled and looked at her, Aya stared at Rhodes dumbfounded, she didn't know what to do next.

"Miss noble who is eager for adventure?" Rhodes said, Aya ignored him and turned his head to look at the ground.

"Miss aristocrat who is not willing to be married by the family?" Rhodes said again, and Aya ran to the side angrily.

Rhodes stretched out his hand and grabbed her back, "Don't be angry if you are right, you are so stupid, if you run out alone like this, someone will definitely abduct you again, and then sell you cheaply to a second son in the Roman Empire. You idiot, you can’t even eat meat, and you just help others give birth every day.”

Aya looked at Rhodes with red eyes, "How about we contact the local nobleman and ask him to help send you back?" Rhodes asked.

"No, I can run out even if I'm kidnapped, and I can't run out again if I go home." Aya said, she looked like she was about to cry.

"Then why are you running out to prepare? If I were you, I would definitely stay at home and deliver delicious food to your mouth every day." Rhodes asked.

"I don't know what I want to do. I just don't want to go home. They want to marry me to an old earl who is more than 20 years older than me." Aya said in a low voice.

Rhode didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to comfort Aya so that she would stop crying. Facing a crying little girl, he was very upset.Aya grabbed Rhodes' clothes corner.

"Then what do you do now? Follow me?" Rhodes asked, and Aya nodded.

Well, that's the only way to go, Rhodes was a little helpless.

Rhodes and Aya didn't have any money on them. He took Aya to a grocery store and planned to sell the ax he got from the mercenary. The ax was made of steel and should be worth some money. .

Walking into the grocery store, the owner is dozing off boredly on the table.

"How much do you charge for this ax?" Rhodes asked.

The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes, picked up his energy and took the ax over, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "The workmanship is very good, but the ax blade is a little blunt, it takes time to polish it, I can pay you one gold."

Rhodes argued, "If you go to any blacksmith shop, you will never be able to buy such an ax without ten gold coins. If you go to a blacksmith shop in the city, you will have to pay at least fifteen gold coins. Now you only accept one gold coin? At least five gold coins."

The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and gave a price "three gold coins."

"Give me back the axe, I'll sell it next door," Rhodes said.

The shopkeeper hesitated holding the ax and wanted to increase the price.

Aya stopped Rhodes, "We don't have any money on us now, the price of three gold coins is fine."

She stretched out her hand again and said to the shopkeeper, "Bring three gold coins."

The owner happily put the gold coin into Aya's hand, and Aya said, "Let's go."

Rhodes now regrets taking her with him.

Forget it, I will bear it.

In a few days, I will hand you over to other nobles and let them send you back. Your family will definitely pay me a lot more reward than this.

Rhode looked at Aya and thought a little angrily...
