Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Of course, of course, Fatis, the outstanding military talent you specially introduced to me before, how could I forget it?"

Rhodes stood up from behind the desk and shook hands with Resarit and Ms. Jera respectively.

At this moment, the door of the room was knocked gently again.

"Come in."

If it was someone else, Rhodes might ask the person outside to wait for a while, but from the sound, Rhodes knew that it was Kress knocking on the door, and if it was not important, Kress, who had a tacit understanding with him, would not disturb him from receiving guests.

Kress pushed the door open and entered. When he saw Fatis and the two unknown guests, the little girl gently lifted her skirt and saluted, which was quite graceful.

Then she came to Rhodes and whispered in his ear: "Master, the underground secret vault has been opened. There are a lot of treasures inside. Valen is in charge and no one dares to enter, but he still wants me to inform you as soon as possible."

This is a big deal. In the past, more than 95% of the wealth of the Mountain Fortress was concentrated in the hands of the harpy witch Magna alone, so Rhodes sent his confidant Valen to supervise there to prevent the management from stealing.

"Well, I see."

"The two distinguished guests have just arrived at the Lonely Mountain Castle. It's really hard. Why don't you wash up and rest first? I invite you to dinner in the evening."

Rhodes completely inherited the memory of his predecessor, so as long as he wanted, the noble style was well-behaved, making people feel respected without feeling overly uncomfortable enthusiasm.

"Yeah, after such a long journey, you and your sister-in-law must have been very tired, Resarit. You don't care, but your sister-in-law should want to wash up." As he spoke, Fatis stepped forward and punched Resarit's chest. This was a very intimate gesture between men.

Or, the friendship established in school days is the purest, deepest and most memorable.

"Fatis, the underground secret library is open. Will you accompany me to take a look, or entertain your friends?"

As everyone walked out, Rhodes took the time to say this to Fatis.

Rhodes no longer treated Fatis like a subject, but more like a friend, allowing the other party to make his own choice and maintain a certain degree of freedom.

"Well... I'll accompany you down. It is said that there are often many spell traps hidden in the lair of the spellcaster. I really can't rest assured if you take Cress down by yourself."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Rhodes knew that Fatis wanted to explain to Resarit, so he left with Cress first.

"Cress, tell someone to notify Master Caitlin."

"Yes, I got it."

After the last expedition, because Caitlin had caused Fatis to be seriously injured and almost poisoned to death, Rhode's favorability towards Caitlin dropped to the lowest limit of 60 points, but in the extraordinary era, a territory cannot be without its own magician.

So although he was very unhappy secretly, Rhode could only grit his teeth and endure it, and he did not show it obviously on the surface. Caitlin noticed something, but she didn't know that Rhode was so dissatisfied with her.

If it weren't for the fact that the current Lonely Mountain Castle couldn't recruit a slightly qualified magician, her own life would be in danger.

It's the same reason to notify Caitlin now. There are many things that Rhode, Fatis, and Cress don't understand. Without a magician, the legacy of the harpy witch cannot be fully inherited.

Lonely Mountain Castle, guest room.

After Jera took a comfortable bath with the help of two maids, she walked into the bedroom and saw her husband Resarit, who had already taken a bath and was lying on the bed reading documents.

She threw herself on the bed, next to Resarit.

"I was still worried when I came here. What kind of town can there be in a place like the wilderness? Can a few wooden houses in the forest be called a town? After I came here, I found that it was actually not bad. Your friend Fatis finally didn't harm you this time."

"What are you talking about? When did Fatis harm me? You just look down on him for being a wandering knight. Senior Fatis was deceived and harmed by a prostitute and a socialite. Otherwise, Senior Fatis would have been a mid-level officer in the Royal Capital Cavalry Battalion now. Is his future comparable to that of Miklos and Jerome?"

"Okay, okay, you can say whatever you want now, and whatever you say is right." Jera stretched her body on the large bed with satisfaction. Of course she was satisfied.

The Mountain Fortress was built by the Harpies and enslaved a large number of human slaves. Although it is a city in the wilderness, it is not bad in all aspects. Except for a slightly smaller area, it is not worse than the inland commercial city in other aspects. Moreover, after being taken over by Rhodes, it is preparing for expansion.

The surrounding mountains and forests have begun to be burned, and it is a thriving scene.

Once Resarit is appointed as a senior officer here, as his wife, Jera must live in the core area of ​​the town.

The family house is in the core area of ​​the town, and there is a manor outside the city, with human servants and alien slaves. This treatment is a world of difference compared to the previous small house.

But Jera's husband Resarit, he is not in such a good mood, because he keeps reading the information left by Fatis. As an officer, Resarit naturally finds that the army of this lonely mountain castle has been trained to a considerable level.

Although it is impossible to make a complete judgment based on textual materials alone, if these materials are true and credible, Resarit almost doubts whether he can be hired successfully.

Because the Lord Rodhart who runs this city is obviously a master of training soldiers.

At this time, Rhodes, Cress, Fatis, and Caitlin have gathered together, riding the rotary cable car, and slowly moving towards the underground secret library.

"Master Caitlin, what do you think will be in the witch's secret library?"

Rhodes stood at the edge of the cable car with his eyes closed and his arms folded. He hated Caitlin but could talk to her calmly, so Caitlin only knew that Rhodes was a little unhappy with her, but she had no idea how unhappy she was.

"A lot of treasures, extraordinary materials, magic items, and magical knowledge inheritance."

"Just as I thought, let's take a look at what is in the secret library that I have been looking forward to for half a year."

As the rotary cable car arrived at the bottom, Rhodes jumped onto the ground with a sword on his waist, and the others followed closely.
