Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Bright Moon City is the center of the Northern Province. Near the embassy here, even a hidden underground tavern has its own signature dishes.

Or perhaps, this isn’t some hidden underground tavern, it’s just a close relationship with the city’s Sheriff…

Rhodes sat at the dining table in the corner of the tavern, immersed in enjoying the food in front of him.

The large piece of black pepper steak is served with several pieces of broccoli, grilled onions, and cherry tomatoes, but as a true meat eater, of course, you can't ignore these supplements and decorations.

After he cut it with a knife, he could see the layers of the steak: burnt black on the outside and reddish on the inside, indicating excellent taste and flavor.

After eating a pound of beef, Rhodes began to enjoy the surrounding side dishes, such as quail eggs, spinach, delicious mushrooms and small pies filled with marinated chicken breast.

Also eating in the corner of the tavern, looking at the rye bread and watered ale in front of him, James certainly found it hard to swallow at this moment, and this was exactly what Rhodes wanted.

Although you want to recruit the other party, you can't take the initiative to speak. The key to attack and retreat between lords and subordinates is somewhat similar to the struggle between men and women.

After finishing all the side dishes, Rhodes felt that the heat was almost done. He smiled and asked his companion opposite to have a black pepper steak.

Of course James refused at first, but when the plump black pepper steak was brought to him, James, who had not touched meat for more than half a year, finally picked up a knife and fork and devoured it.

Rhodes encouraged him to drink from time to time and relaxed his psychological defense.

Finally, after having enough wine and food, James started his job search with a flushed face and a little excitement.

He wiped his mouth and said:

"Hello, young man, maybe you can help me." At this moment, James didn't have a few coins in his pocket, and he urgently needed a job.

And "encountering" the generous young man in front of him seemed to James to be the best luck he had had in this period of time.

"What's wrong? My friend." Rhode asked as he raised his glass and took a sip of ale.

"I will tell you... This is a story about evil. I want to warn you in advance, so that you will not do anything terrible because of your impulsive young man's temper and the content of the story."

"I was trained to be a true physician in a monastery, but I was condemned in my college by vulgar scholar-physicians who were jealous of my brain. They drove me out. What are the physicians of this age doing? They are intemperate. I would bleed the patient, and if the pus couldn't come out, I would use a hot iron to create a pus wound on the patient, and then perform an operation to drain the pus! This is how many patients were killed alive. I told them that this was wrong, and then they expelled them. Me, expel me, all the way here, it’s the same when I get here..."

"Like I said, I'm a real doctor, not one of those well-dressed guys in the academy who's never touched a human body. I don't care about touching cadavers. I don't care about getting my hands dirty doing surgery. I've handled human beings. All types of wounds that can be created, before I became a real physician, I was a student, so you can believe that I have created as many wounds as I have healed.”

Rhodes listened quietly, listening to James's drunken chatter.

In this era, most doctors still adhere to bloodletting therapy and the four-fluid theory of the human body. Relatively speaking, the James in front of him is definitely a pioneer in the history of medicine in this world...if he hadn't risen to extraordinary heights.

After the rise of the extraordinary, some priests can use the magic of "removing diseases", which is said to be able to cure all diseases. Although there is still a basis for the survival of professions such as doctors and herbalists, James's talents are no longer wasted in these areas. , actually it doesn’t make much sense.

After obtaining James, he has four career directions that can best unleash his full potential: in the human temple, he is a doctor and a priest, in the undead camp, he is an embalmer, and in the hell camp, he is a hell doctor. Each profession will bring powerful combat capabilities to James, but the completion path is relatively evil, such as the hell doctor profession:

James was a great healer who could heal the world's worst injuries. As his research into the mysteries of life and death deepened, James conducted a risky experiment. As a result, the experiment failed... and he was also taken to the realm of death. Although he now leads an army of the undead, his knowledge of anatomy and ability to heal wounds remains unmatched.

The hero characteristic, undead poison, undead poison can repair the damage suffered by your own soldiers, and greatly corrode all non-undead creatures in the enemy camp.

How the Hell Lord ensures that James' experiment fails is a big difficulty in obtaining this hero.

If successful, James will create a terrifying monster between life and death. At this time, James will become a hero of the undead camp. Only by ensuring his death can the Hell Lord player capture his soul mark and own a A powerful hell camp undead army, otherwise, it would be an enemy.

Although the relationship between the necromancers in this world and the living is not good, most of them are hostile to the hell camp.

But Rhodes doesn't need to care too much about this. He doesn't intend to make James a doctor of hell, nor does he intend to make him an embalmer of the dead. In this sense, it is James' personal luck to meet Rhodes at this time.

"Let's train him to be a priest of light, and he can also cultivate a very high level of medical skills. The only problem is that he needs to be transferred to a priest of the temple. However, given the current environment of Lonely Mountain Castle, it is not difficult to do this as long as he is deceived."

"James's existence will be an excellent supplement to Lonely Mountain Castle, where almost all heroes are combat professionals. A powerful priest will not only have a strong buff effect on the soldiers of the side, but also develop combat priests and confession priests in the middle and late stages. The restraint on the creatures of the lower plane is almost better than that of the paladin. After all, it belongs to the magic profession type."

"But why did Hadariel die? How could he die like this?"

Wine makes the sorrow worse. Before Rhodes arrived, James had already drunk a lot here, and then Rhodes came to invite him to drink.

Rhode didn't know. Although he had a rosacea, James seldom drank alcohol to keep the scalpel stable.

After saying the last sentence, the man fell forward on the table and passed out, leaving Rhode alone in a daze, because at this moment, a task prompt suddenly popped up in front of him:

[Investigate the real cause of Hadariel's death. ]

[James traveled around, but encountered exclusion and insults until he arrived in Bright Moon City, where he was warmly received by the Ade Aili family, Master Hadariel. James regarded Master Hadariel as a confidant, but the other party died because of his treatment...]

This task was actually optional. Even if he chose not to accept it, James would leave with Rhode.

Because there was no place for him in this city. As a doctor from outside, who would dare to let him treat a local again if he killed him?

What's more, even if James just wanted to get a job locally, Mrs. Ade Aili would probably not let him go.

However, after thinking for a while, Rhode still chose to take on this task, not because of morality.

But because the extraordinary era has come, the heart of the extraordinary is the most important cornerstone of power. If this cornerstone is damaged at the beginning, the more he invests in James in the future, the more likely it is that there will be a situation of collapse and loss of all his money.

Although this danger can be controlled, why not eliminate it directly here?

Although Rhode is not proficient in medicine except for holy light qi and system skills, he knows that the real brilliant medical skills are to prevent people from getting sick: prevention is better than treatment!

"Please come over and take care of this drunk gentleman. I will come to see him tonight. If he is gone, be careful of your store!"

At the end of the speech, Rhode's face became solemn, and the sudden pressure even made the owner of this underground tavern feel that his body and mind sank.

However, the next moment, this heavy mood disappeared without a trace with the gold coins that bounced over from the other party.

"Sir, I understand. I understand. I will definitely provide him with delicious food and drinks. If he is gone when you come to see him tonight, you don't have to do anything. I will break my own dog leg!"

"Why do I need your leg? I only want this gentleman." Rhodes stood up.

He had to go back now. Although a sleepless night had almost no effect on Rhodes now, Rhodes knew that the entire embassy was under close surveillance. If he suddenly disappeared, it might cause a lot of undercurrents.
