Chapter 49 Rhode's Day

"My name is Martin, what's your name?" the melancholy middle-aged man asked Rhodes on the road.

"Rod." Rhode replied. He was walking on the road and kept looking at the surrounding situation. The corpses that had piled up in the mountains before have all been transported away. You can make a small profit.

As far as Rhodes knows, troll fat is very valuable. It is not only a material for alchemy, but also a delicacy that Nord nobles love to eat. Rhodes, who has always been short of money, feels a little pity.

Martin nodded and said, "This task is relatively simple. We only need to find the entrance to the tomb in the forest. As long as our luck is not too bad, we won't encounter any problems."

Rhodes wanted to roll his eyes and show him, is this simple?So many adventurers have been searching for hundreds of years but have not found it. How many people are left in this town to look for it?He had never had a good impression of Martin before, and now he felt a little stupid.

He came to sign up just by the way, and his main purpose was to go into the forest to kill those dangerous beasts.

This world is completely different from the world before time travel. Animals in the world before time travel are forbidden to be hunted by humans and need to be protected. Many animals in this world will pose a threat to human life. The Nord Kingdom even encourages people to hunt, because there are many ferocious beasts. In order to attack the humans living nearby.

Especially some animals with no intelligence are not afraid of humans at all, such as trolls.Trolls often attack humans, and even a single troll dares to attack human cities.

This may be the main reason why the nobles of the Nord Kingdom allowed civilians to hunt.

"Master Foss promised that anyone who participated would give him one gold coin, and whoever found the tomb would give him a hundred gold coins." Martin said again.

Martin led Rhodes to a small square. A man dressed as a clerk sat on a table on the high platform of the square. There were several adventurers registering in front of him. Martin and Rhodes went up.

"Let's see, isn't this 'coward' Martin? Can this kind of person find another companion?" one of the adventurers said loudly.

"Young man, don't be fooled by him. He never takes his partner's life seriously. He will run away every time he encounters danger." Another adventurer kindly reminded him.

Rhode's face almost turned red when he heard it, which reminded him of himself who had just time traveled.

"I didn't plan to be with him either. I always prepared to be alone." Rhode explained that he never planned to form a team with Martin from the beginning. He wanted to go to the forest to deal with the trolls to complete the task. If Martin was Innocent people will definitely die next to them.

"Well, I didn't intend to really go into the forest, I just brought him to sign up." Martin said loudly.

Rhodes was a little surprised. Martin also said that he would form a team with him before, so he might be scared now.

"Martin, you should stay at home. There are trolls and saber-toothed tigers in the forest. If you go there, you won't be able to come back." An adventurer laughed.

Martin's expression changed when he heard this, and he left silently.

Rhodes was a little speechless, and he asked the crowd, "When does this mission require departure?"

"Tomorrow morning." An adventurer replied.

Rhodes also decided not to sign up. He hasn't had much rest during this period of time. He decided to rest for a while before going to the forest to complete the task.

He turned to leave and went back to the hotel, and Aya came up after seeing him.

"Did you put away my sword yesterday?" Rhodes looked at Aya and asked.

Aya: "It's over, I forgot. Those corpses were removed by the soldiers, and the sword should still be on it."

Rhodes was a little helpless. It seemed that he could only use fists for a while, but whether it was fists or swords, they didn't do much damage to the troll.But to deal with wild wolves, it is better to use a sword.

"How about that Nord?" Rhodes asked again.

"I don't know." Aya shook her head.

Rhodes looked at Aya, smelled himself again, frowned and said, "I think we all need to take a shower."

Aya also smelled himself, nodded and said with disgust, "I think so too."

But there was no change of clothes after taking a shower, which made Rhodes a little uncomfortable. He took Aya to the previous tailor shop first.Luckily the seamstress was also unharmed.

"Your clothes can only be picked up tomorrow afternoon." The seamstress looked up at him, then lowered her head and continued to do what she was doing.

Aya turned to Rhodes after hearing this, and said angrily, "When did you secretly buy clothes behind my back?"

Rhodes was a little helpless, should I give you a report when I buy clothes? Let’s see what the clothes I’m wearing now. The decent-looking fur coat that Jon gave him before is now a beggar. clothes to wear.

He thought of the beggars he had seen before, and thought that their clothes were better.

If you have to blame it, you can only blame me for not buying it for you, Rhode thought to himself.

"You measure her and make her a dress, using better materials." Rhodes said to the seamstress.

"Spring is coming soon. You can choose some lighter fabrics. I suggest you buy wool for her. I have ready-made ones here. Her figure should be just right." The seamstress said from behind her. A finely woven gray wool coat and black wool breeches were brought out of the closet.

"If you buy it together, I can also give you a dress to wear inside." The seamstress said again.

"Then how much does it cost?" Rhodes asked.

"A guinea," said the seamstress.

Rhodes hesitated a little. After spending this gold coin, he didn't have much money on him, and he was about to ask if there was anything else.

Aya took his hand and said in a low voice, "We only had three gold coins in total, and it costs money to stay in a hotel. Don't buy it for me, I don't like it."

Aya said that she didn't like it, but her eyes showed longing.

"I want it."

……

After that, he went to the hot spring to take a bath and spent some money on Rhodes. Now he has no gold coins on him, only a few poor silver coins left.

The innkeeper invited me to eat barbecue. It would be better to give me back some of the money that blackmailed me. It seems that I have to accept the employment of the lord. I will leave for the forest tomorrow without a day's rest.

It was already dark outside, but there were bright oil lamps hanging around the hot spring pool. Rhodes looked at himself in the water. There was a scar on his forehead, and the white tender flesh had grown out. It didn't look particularly disturbing to the appearance. He had thought the scar on his forehead would be as hideous as the one on Jon's face.

The hair in the front was chopped off by the mercenaries in the wooden house with an axe, and the current hairstyle is very sharp.

He directly used the razor next to the pool to shave himself a decent short hair. He practiced basic swordsmanship, and now he is very proficient with a razor.

After trimming the hair, the whole person looks much better than before when the hair is messy and missing a few pieces.

His body is only 16 years old, and he will be seventeen after summer. He has no beard yet, and there is only a light layer of black fluff on his lips.

He looked at his body, the scars on his body were almost healed, the blackened right hand had shed a layer of black shell, exposing the right hand which was much whiter than his hand, and the flexibility of the right hand was not affected.

After taking a shower, Rhodes didn't want to put on the dirty old clothes again. He took out the night clothes suit from the system space and put it on, but he walked out without a hat and mask...
