Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 45 Chaos
Rhodes found the cleanest looking inn and went in alone, negotiated the price of the two rooms with the innkeeper, and then took Aya in together.

This inn only provides the same food to each guest at a fixed time, and they go there just in time for the meal, and they eat onion soup and black bread.

Aya seemed to have noticed that Rhodes was unwilling to take her with him when he was negotiating with others, so he didn't talk to Rhodes throughout the dinner time, and went back to his room alone to sleep after dinner.

After Rhodes finished eating, he saw vendors pushing carts outside. He looked at the tattered clothes on his body and decided to go to a tailor to buy a new set of clothes.

It was already dark, but the roads in the town were lined with torches, allowing passers-by to see more clearly.

Rhodes found a shop with a pair of scissors on the sign and walked in. The owner of the tailor shop was about to close the shop when he saw Rhodes coming in and sat down again.

The fur coat on Rhodes was tattered and dirty, and there were even a lot of blood on it. The owner of the tailor shop was a middle-aged woman with a big waist, "Do you want to order clothes, or do you want to mend your clothes?"

"How much does custom-made clothes cost?" Rhodes asked.

"It depends on the fabric. We have cotton, wool, linen, and animal skin here. If you are rich enough, you can also make velvet. I think animal skin is very suitable for you. The price is cheap and relatively Strong," said the seamstress.

Rhodes also thinks that animal skins are good. In the Nord Kingdom, which is rich in wild animal resources, even many minor nobles will choose to wear animal skins, which are not only strong and warm, but also have a good effect.

"How much does the animal skin cost?" Rhodes asked again.

"Depending on your figure, 15 silver coins can help you make a set of buckskin, and 20 silver coins can help you make a set of cowhide. There are also other animal skins, such as wolf skin, but they are more expensive." Said the seamstress.

Shuanglin Town is close to the forest, and there are more deer than cows, so clothes made of deerskin are cheaper than cowhide, and cowhide can be made into leather armor after treatment.

"Then buckskin ones." Rhodes chose the cheapest one.

"You have to pay me a deposit of 5 silver coins first, and you will come to pick it up in three days. Now stand up and let me measure it for you."

……

After leaving the tailor shop, Rhodes went to the blacksmith shop to look at the armor, but he still couldn't afford it.

The equipment on any one of the three Knights of the Glorious Cross that he fought side by side with them was worth tens of thousands of gold coins, but their equipment should be made by people in their knights, and it is probably much cheaper.

Back at the hotel, Rhodes asked the hotel owner if he could take a shower in the hotel.The hotel owner regretfully told him no, but he told Rhodes Town that there is a natural hot spring in which you can go if you want to take a bath, but the lord arranged for someone to collect money there.

Rhodes looked at his injury and decided to wait for the injury to heal before taking a bath. He asked the hotel owner for some hot water and returned to the room to wipe off the blood on his body and the black jade intermittent ointment that had lost its effect.

Afterwards, Rhodes sat on the bed and began to run the divine illumination technique. He concluded that he could kill a wolf and even kill a mercenary with one punch. Apart from the knuckles and Taizu's long fist that he got from the system mall, He also comprehensively enhanced his physical qualities by relying on the Divine Illumination Technique, which made his strength a lot stronger.

The description of Shenzhao Gong mentioned that Shenzhao Gong has the effect of enhancing physical fitness in all aspects, but because the increase was not much before, he had forgotten this function.

Just as Rhodes was immersed in the practice of Divine Illumination Kungfu, a loud horn sounded outside and woke him up.

What happened?Also keep people from sleeping?
He picked up the long sword and pushed open the door and walked out, just as a tenant in the room next to him also came out.

"What's going on?" Rhodes asked.

The man shook his head and didn't speak.Judging by his attire, he should be a mercenary from the royal court of Anu. He is wearing a khaki robe, a traditional wool hat of the grassland people on his head, and a sharp machete at his waist.

Rhodes ran to the door of Aya's room and found that she was already standing at the door.

"Men who can hold a sword gather in the square." Someone yelled loudly outside, and then there were continuous screams from outside the house, from people and animals.

After Rhodes heard it, he was about to go downstairs to see what was going on, but Aya held him back and refused to let him go.

"What's wrong?" Rhodes asked.

"I'm afraid alone." Aya replied in a low voice.

"Then you go with me." Rhodes pulled Aya down.

The first floor of the hotel was full of people, but it was quiet. Two burly men at the door blocked the door tightly. It seemed that something outside the door was hitting the door frantically. Everyone held weapons in their hands and vigilantly Look at the gate.

"What happened, didn't you just say you were going to gather in the square?" Rhodes whispered to a middle-aged long-haired man with melancholy eyes.

"I don't know why, the beasts in the forest went crazy and ran to the town. The guard captain originally wanted to gather all the men in the square to resist the beasts...before he was torn in half by a forest troll." Melancholy The man said tremblingly, "We're all going to die here."

The hotel owner who was sitting on the table next to him and drinking wine said calmly, "These are small scenes. Every few years when spring is approaching, many wild beasts will come to the town to attack humans. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it.”

Rhode felt relieved after hearing what the innkeeper said.

But the innkeeper said next, "If I were you, I would sit down and drink one last drink. There are two forest trolls outside our door, and these people in our room must be dead."

Rhodes glanced around, it seemed that there were not many reliable ones, except for the mercenary from the Royal Court of Anu and the two burly men blocking the door, the rest were about his age The young adventurer and the melancholy long-haired middle-aged man hiding in the back.

And those young adventurers now hear that there are trolls outside, and they can't hold their weapons steadily.

"Why are there basically young people in your hotel?" The melancholy middle-aged man asked the hotel owner.

The innkeeper smiled, "Because young people and foreigners are the best at cheating money, if those experienced adventurers would stay in a hotel that looks clean like mine, it's not because the price is too expensive and no one lives there." How can those real hotels be kept clean by adventurers all the time?"

After Rhodes heard it, he felt that he had learned a lot.

"Aren't there two strong men at the door?" the melancholy middle-aged man asked.

"They hid in after seeing the troll just like you." The hotel owner replied. Just after he finished speaking, a big hairy hand came out from the middle of the wooden door. The two strong men who blocked the door before gave up their resistance. He ran to the back of the door and waited.

With just a "click", the sturdy wooden door was torn open by the owner of that hand, and two trolls crawled into the room and roared angrily...
