Chapter 91 Talking During the Journey

Rhode glanced back at Pinewood Town in the distance for the last time, and then quickened his pace to keep up with Baron and the others.

"Baron, can you teach me how to freely release the flames on my body now?" Rhodes asked Baron who was walking in a daze.

He had asked Baron this question a long time ago, but every time he was fooled by Baron.

Baron stopped in his tracks, looked at Rhodes for a while and replied, "Last time I told you that I also suddenly mastered the release technique, but I don't know how to teach you."

"Tell me how you mastered it at the time," Rhodes said.

"Let me think about it... I remembered that I suddenly mastered this technique when I was drinking too much and fell on the road. I drank it in a tavern in Glacier City, and I was very young at the time. You are young, you have drunk five strong men by yourself, and now you are really old..."

Rhodes was a little speechless, he didn't believe Baron's nonsense at all, he obviously didn't want to tell himself, and he didn't know why.

Since he doesn't want to say it now, Rhodes has nothing to do with him. It's impossible to beat him up and force him to speak out. It's not enough to quarrel. Anyway, he will use it inexplicably every time it comes to a critical moment.

What Baron said just now is completely full of loopholes. He is only about 30 years old now, and he is not very old. It should be the time when he can drink the most.

As for the saying that one person drank five strong men, he didn't believe it at all. If he was so powerful, would he hide wine in the space ring in Jon's castle?

"By the way, do you have any weapons on you now? The last time you left directly with Hamer, you didn't even take the great sword of the Black Heart Knight with you." Baron asked, and he wanted to change the subject again.

"Let me see." Rhodes took out the ink Zen stick from the system, weighed it in his hand, and weighed a few dozen catties, which looked similar to Lu Zhishen's weapon on TV before.

Baron took the Zen staff from Rhode's hand, flicked it twice and commented, "I've never played with such a strange-looking weapon before. Although it's a bit difficult, let's just use it first."

On the way to Pinewood Town, Rhodes had been thinking about how to quickly improve his strength, so as not to be as powerless as last time and last time.

After thinking for a long time, he found that in the absence of adventures, he had no shortcuts to take, and the fastest way was to concentrate on practicing Yiyang Finger.

In the previous battles, even though Yi Yang Zhi was only lv2, it still showed its extraordinary power.

If the level is high, it is very possible to directly kill plate armor warriors like the black heart knight with one finger.

On the following road, Rhodes practiced Yang Finger against the air while walking, and he also concentrated on this after leaving Pinewood Town.

If I learn about acupoints, I can try acupuncture.

After my inner strength is more profound, maybe I can still tap acupuncture points from the air.

"What combat skills are you practicing every day?" Misel, who was riding on a horse, finally couldn't help being curious, and asked.

"A kind of fingering." Rhodes replied.

Misaier: "You might as well practice your sword. No matter how powerful your fingering is, it's useless on the battlefield. I think you used the sword well when you were fighting. Why don't you practice more?"

Rhodes thought for a while and replied, "It's not convenient to practice swords while walking, and I will practice later when I have time. By the way, why did you chase and kill that 'Black Heart Knight' from such a long distance?"

"'Black Heart Knight' Gray Kerry, he had been on the seventh most wanted list of the Roman Empire before, and the Duke of Campbell was willing to pay [-] gold coins to buy his life. We also need this bounty for development," Misel explained.

"Your Knights still lack this money?" Rhodes didn't have a clear concept of money in this world.

"It's missing, why not? The tax revenue from the fiefdoms of Glory City and other knights is not enough for our knight order. We usually accept some rewards to catch those evil people." Misaier replied.

"The value of the lance plate armor on the previous knights and the horses under them is estimated to exceed these, so you are not at a big loss?" Rhodes asked again.

"Weapon and plate armor can be brought back and repaired so that they can be used by others. Most of our current equipment is inherited. Our knight order was glorious for a long time before, but now with the rise of the Dawn Knight Order we The Knights are gradually declining," Michel replied.

Rhodes knew about the Knights of the Dawn, and he had fought against them before, so he asked again, "Why did they rise and you fell?"

Michelle looked a little unhappy, but she still answered Rhodes' question, "They are a bunch of villains. For the evil ones, our Knights make them repent, reflect on their crimes, and guide them on the right path. , will only execute those who have committed the most heinous crimes. The Dawn Knights have no honor at all, as long as they are paid enough money, no matter how big the crime they commit, they can get their forgiveness and help them eliminate the bounty. For those There is no money to pay them. People who have minor crimes or even innocent people will be persecuted by them. Every once in a while they will levy unreasonable taxes everywhere for various reasons. They say that those who are not willing to pay are Blasphemed their god and hurt those poor people."

Michel paused for a while and then said, "But this only started in the last few decades. The Dawn Knights used to have a sense of justice and honor, but now they are slowly decaying, and they have broken the agreement of the Knights not to intervene in the continental war." They secretly signed a contract with those nobles. The nobles allowed them to exploit their own people in their own territory, but they needed to share most of the proceeds with those nobles. The Knights of Dawn did what the nobles wanted to do but felt that it was detrimental to their honor But what we didn’t do, so we got the support of many nobles, and we openly opposed their behavior, which also led to being excluded everywhere in the empire, and now we will be made things difficult by others when we do many things.”

Rhodes was a little angry after hearing this. He had heard that the taxation of the Roman Empire was very heavy. Basically, after the nobles collected it, they only left a barely enough ration to survive. If the Knights of Dawn collected another one, then the people there would How hard is life?

Rhodes suddenly realized that Michel said that the equipment of their knights was inherited, so why did the female knight he rescued give him the two-handed sword behind her back?
Baron was walking beside them and listening to their conversation, he said, "Aren't they afraid of those peasants revolting?"

"How can a peasant with a hoe beat a knight with a steel sword? There have been several outbreaks in the past, but they were quickly suppressed. The empire is not like your Nords. You can still find bows and giants in the homes of ordinary peasants." Ax." Michelle replied.

It seems that the religious beliefs in this world have gradually become a tool for the rulers to oppress and exploit the people.The Kingdom of Fish next to the Roman Empire is almost developing to a period similar to the Renaissance. Why is the Roman Empire, which is more powerful, still tends to develop in a darker direction.

Baron scratched his head, thought for a while and asked, "Then what actions did you take?"

Misaier was stunned and replied, "We condemned and protested their actions, and sent many letters condemning them to the emperor, and the emperor also wrote back to us saying that we would deal with these issues."

Hamer, who had been silent all this time, said next to him, "So they were hired by the emperor to join the war between countries. I don't think this is punishing them."
