Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Master Atiman, you have worked hard all the way. Please, I have prepared a welcoming dinner for you."

After letting Cress go down to rest, Rhodes came to Atiman and said this.

"There is no need for these. I have eaten a lot of dinners in my life. Lord Rhodes, you are so eager to invite us here. I think there must be something important, right? Let's talk about it first. If it can't be done, I will tell you clearly, and we can eat at ease."

People with real skills have a certain social status in any era, and often have their own unique temper.

Atiman is undoubtedly such a person, and as a lord, Rhodes is far more tolerant of such people than others.

The last person who dared to show such a face in front of Rhodes was named Gunnarsser, and then, he didn't do it again.

"Haha, good, Master is really a real doer, let's go this way."

Take Atiman and Yamila into the city lord's mansion, a spacious but secret room. Before entering the room, Atiman and Yamila faintly heard a burst of voices and harsh curses coming from the room.

However, when the three of them walked into the room, Atiman and Yamila found that there was no one in the empty room, only a very strange crossbow car parked in the center of the room. Although it was covered with cloth, with their eyes, of course they quickly determined what it was.

"Are you showing us a magic show, Lord Rhodes?"

"Oh no, of course not. In fact, the sound you just heard came from it." While speaking, Rhodes stepped forward and lifted the cloth covering the cover.

The appearance of this crossbow car looks similar to that of the crossbow cars in the human world, except that many of its components are made of biological bones and tendons, and many runes are densely engraved on it. The whole crossbow car itself seems to be gently rising and falling and breathing: it has its own life!

"Huh!? This, this is?"

Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the doorway, and the famous hero of the human race, Atiman, is definitely an insider. Looking at the crossbow car in front of him, the old man couldn't help but walk up quickly and touch it gently.

"Hey, hey, old man, what are you doing? I told you not to touch me, ah ah ah ah!"

It seemed that Atiman pressed on some vital position. The angry curses of the Hellfire Crossbow Cart at the beginning suddenly changed in the back, making Rhodes and Yamila on the side feel a little embarrassed.

"Is this the mechanical technology of the devil? Magical, too magical, it is simply unimaginable that the devil can actually use tools to create creatures with life!" The old man sighed while groping and checking.

"Haha, you can be anyone? Only me, and only me, Lord Valantishaka!"

"Do you have your own name?"

"Of course, little human, when you were still liquid, Lord Valantishaka had killed countless humans and demons."

"Master Atiman? Master Atiman!"

Rhodes called out twice in succession, and finally, with the help of Yamila, he brought Atiman back to his senses from his trance.

Rhodes called Atiman to a corner of the room.

"Master, how long do you need to convince this guy to join our camp?"

"Convince? Do you mean to convince a crossbow?"

"Of course, you can see that it has its own consciousness. My territory is now being attacked by its owner. If we can surrender it, then the originally difficult opponent can be solved at the lowest cost. In this regard, I don't think there is anyone in the entire Lonely Mountain Castle, no, in the entire Styak Empire who is more likely to do this than you."

"Hu...Hu...I can try, but I don't have much success, Lord Rodhart, first I need time, second I need you to be ready to solve this matter in a head-on decisive battle."

"Of course."

Rhode smiled when he heard this, knowing that this matter had become 60%.

Masters like Atiman would not easily promise, but once promised, he would have a 70% to 80% chance of success.

The reason why Rhode felt that he only had a 60% chance was because he knew that the Hellfire Crossbow was very loyal to its original owner.

If it hadn't been seized for more than half a year, Rhode would not have tried this plan at all, because there was a high probability of failure.

The No. 1 technician in Hell VS the famous human engineering master, this competition is worth Rhode's gamble.

Since entering that room, Atiman has never come out again. Yamila was originally assisting the teacher in it, but was later driven out by Atiman.

The maid who delivered food went in several times, and after coming out, she said to Rhode with a red cheek: "Master Atiman is crazy. He took off all his clothes in the room to draw pictures on the machine..."

"I saw him lying on the machine..."

"Master, there are strange sounds coming from that room every night..."

"Lord, Master Atiman asked for a lot of metal materials again. He asked me to convey to you that he can change a person's personality by changing his body..."

"Send this cup of Holy Spirit Blood to Master Atiman."

"Yes."

Although normally, no one in Lonely Mountain Castle is qualified to take the Holy Spirit Blood without making enough contributions, Rhode chose to make special arrangements for this matter. Because if he didn't give the Holy Spirit Blood, Rhode was a little worried that the old man's body couldn't bear it.

At the same time, taking advantage of this time gap, Rhode began to punish the increasingly rampant prostitution in Lonely Mountain Castle. This is really an ancient industry. The economy of Lonely Mountain Castle has just started to improve, and this industry has appeared.

Rhode has no discrimination against this industry itself, but as a local lord, the emergence of this industry is detrimental to his interests.

Although the economy of Lonely Mountain Castle has never been very good, there is a relief department. Although the standard of black bread rat soup is not to kill people, it is absolutely not allowed to starve people to death.

Lonely Mountain Castle is almost the only force in this era with a starvation rate close to zero in the entire territory.

However, prostitutes still appeared. Although there was nothing wrong with pursuing a better material life, the emergence of a large number of prostitutes would inevitably lead to the weakening of the country's military strength. Therefore, Rhodes' attitude towards this was that once caught, both parties would be demoted to slaves and sentenced to hard labor.
