Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 78 Weber's Story

"What's going on?" Rhodes asked the "kind" Eden who also just came out.

"I just came out too, do you think I'll know?" Eden rolled his eyes and replied.

Rhodes walked towards the stairs next to the corridor, just in time to meet Baron who was full of alcohol and walked up.

"What happened below?" Rhodes asked.

"The leader of the Blood Ravens died in full view." Baron said, "It's none of your business, go back to sleep."

After speaking, Baron went to his own room and fell asleep on the bed. He didn't even close the door, and Rhodes helped him close the door.

When Rhodes had breakfast the next day, he heard the mercenaries next to him discussing what happened last night in a low voice. Rhodes listened carefully to what they were saying with some curiosity.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, the leader of the blood bird regiment was sitting there drinking and drinking well. There was a dagger sticking out of his throat. At that time, his subordinates were all around him, and no one found out who did it." .”

"Of course I heard about it. I was sitting in the hall last night. But he is not the head of the Blood Birds, that is called the Blood Crows."

"The Blood Bird Group and the Blood Crow Group are the same, aren't crows also birds?"

"This is different. I have a friend who belongs to the Blood Birds, but they don't have as many people as the Blood Crows."

"Okay, then how did you say the head of the Blood Ravens died?"

"Maybe the person next to him took the opportunity to plug in."

"This is impossible. I have seen his corpse. The handle of the dagger is in front of him. The murderer stabbed the dagger in front of him."

"You're not lying, are you? No matter how much I drink, if someone stabs me with a dagger in front of me, I will wake up instantly, let alone a famous mercenary group leader like him."

"Could it be that he killed too many people before, and someone turned into a wraith to retaliate against him for killing him."

"Don't scare me, I'm timid."

"Then other than revenge from the wraiths, what is it that can kill people in a place with so many people and not be discovered by the people around?"

……

Rhodes doesn't know much about this world. Whenever he thinks he knows enough about this world, something will jump out and break his cognition.

He didn't know if there were ghosts and resentful spirits in this world.Although

He has never seen a wraith, but he has seen many ghouls who have come back from the dead, and he cannot use the experience of traveling through the previous world to judge this world.

After finishing breakfast, he dragged Weber to accompany him to sparring.

When Rhodes met Weber for the first time, he thought he was a bad person because of his bad reputation, but he turned out to be more kind and friendly than everyone Rhodes met.

"I think you seem to be very skillful when you use your sword. What famous sword technique do you use?" Weber asked.

"I learned this by accident before, but now I'm not proficient enough. Do you want to learn?" Rhodes saw that Weber wanted to learn, and offered to teach him so that he would not be embarrassed by expressing his willingness to learn.

Weber nodded.

"Then I'll demonstrate one move at a time." Rhodes held the two-handed sword of the female knight with one hand and began to demonstrate the Baihong swordsmanship to Weber one move at a time.

"I'm a bit stupid, can you demonstrate it again?" Weber said shyly after watching Rhode's demonstration.

Rhodes stopped after hearing the demonstration three times in one breath, afraid that Weber would not remember it again, and would feel embarrassed to ask again.

"I learned, let's compete now," Weber said.

Rhodes attacked Weber with a blunt one-handed sword he had seized before, and both of them used the Baihong sword technique afterwards.

Although it was the first time for Weber to use the Baihong swordsmanship, he had a lot of experience in using one-handed swords, and he also wore a ring that could enhance his proficiency with one-handed swords, so he had the upper hand at the beginning.

After an hour passed, the older Weber began to lose his physical strength, and the speed and strength of his sword were much lower than before.

And the one-hour high-intensity confrontation didn't feel much to Rhodes. Instead, he became more and more excited now.

"I admit defeat, let me rest first." Weber said after blocking Rhode's sword with his sword.

He put away the dagger, sat down on the ground and began to rest.

Rhodes threw him a water bag that had been prepared in advance, and Weber took a few sips from the water bag and hiccupped comfortably.

"How do you coordinate your left hand and right hand so that you can use the sword technique I just taught you with both hands at the same time?" Rhodes asked.

"Just practice more. When I was young, I learned everything and practiced everything in order to survive. It is much harder than you are now." Weber said.

"The more you learn and practice, the more you discover what is really suitable for you?" Rhodes asked.

Weber nodded and said, "I used to be ridiculed no matter where I went, and no adventure team could accept me. I have been unpopular since I was born."

Rhode felt that they seemed to be talking about Weber's sadness, and was about to change the subject when Weber said again:
"Because of my size, I can't beat anyone. The wild wolf that others can easily deal with almost killed me. In order to survive, I tried every means to improve my strength. Finally, I learned poison. For a long time I lived on poison, and I was looked down upon all the more for it."

"Why not be an ordinary farmer?" Rhodes asked.

"I wanted to too, but there was no chance. When I was born, my mother died of dystocia, and my father was getting depressed. He was drunk in the pub every day, and he would punch me when he came back. Thanks to my I was only able to grow up with my grandmother. When I was ten years old, my grandmother's life came to an end, and then my father hanged himself because he couldn't afford the drink. Since then, I left my hometown to wander around to make a living, basically Maybe my height has something to do with it when I haven't eaten enough." Weber said calmly, Rhodes didn't expect that Weber would talk about his sad past without any emotional fluctuations like telling about an unrelated person.

"Do you have no other relatives?" Rhodes asked.

"Yes, I ran to find my uncle, but he didn't care about me, so I could only continue to wander. I envy you to have an uncle like Baron, he is a good man. I learned everything at the time, and I was an apprentice to the baker , As a result, he was beaten to death before I was a teacher, and then I learned to sneak and pickpocket in a flea nest in a big city. I don’t remember the name of that city, but I still remember that I used my The feeling of having a full meal with stolen money for the first time,” recalls Weber.

"I now regret that I used to be a thief. Later, I was caught stealing in a tavern in full view. The man didn't ask for my hand. He let me go and gave all the money from the wallet. Me, I fled the city immediately after I got so much money, for fear of being coveted by others, and I just happened to be caught stealing and I couldn’t get along anymore. On the way, my money was robbed by the robber again. I still remember the robber’s face They also emphasized that this is not a robbery, this is an exchange, they threw me an iron dagger, and now I still carry this dagger." He took the dagger out of his waist, decades The dagger has begun to rust over time.

Rhodes had seen many unfortunate people before traveling, and most of them became resentful, narrow-minded, and extremely vindictive.It's really rare for Weber to be so friendly and benevolent now...
