Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 130 Rewards
After a long time, Duke Owen's speech finally came to an end. Before Rhodes crossed, he hated listening to leaders' speeches since elementary school. I like it very much. It is really an honor for them to hear the voice of such a nobleman, and they can play in the tavern for a lifetime when they go back.

Rhodes had seen such a mercenary a few days ago. He was very old and his hair was all gray. He came to participate in the competition this time to join in the fun and try his luck. Rhodes still remembered the mercenary sitting with a wine glass The look on the table with memories tells others,
"I participated in the athletic competition decades ago. I was very young at that time. Gulfstream City was still ruled by the old Duke Owen. The current Duke Owen didn't know that he was going to the noble academy in the city. I was young that time, Didn't make it to the finals, but I heard that the old Duke of Owen allowed everyone to listen to him after the end, and my companion and I were lucky enough to squeeze into the arena, and I still remember what he said at the time. The great nobleman is Unlike ordinary people, what you say has a fragrance, forget it, you can't imagine it after talking to you so much..."

Under everyone's gaze, Duke Owen handed over a wooden box to Baron as the representative, and also gave him a beautifully crafted dagger inlaid with precious stones.

Baron raised his dagger, and deafening cheers erupted from the surrounding stands.

Rhodes was a little surprised why the Duke of Owen didn't take precautions against them. If they were assassins who were arranged to kill him suddenly, the guards next to him would definitely not be able to rescue them in time.

"I guess you won't be able to go back to where you lived before. I happen to have a good house in my hand that I can give you to live here temporarily." Duke Owen said to Baron.

"Thank you for your generosity." Baron replied.

"Would you like to be my vassal?" Duke Owen asked.

"I'm sorry, although I am very happy, but I want to visit various places on the mainland while I am still young. I hope that if I can come back here one day, you will still be willing to let me be your vassal. "Baron replied without thinking.

"I welcome you here at any time." Duke Owen laughed and said, "Sometimes I also envy you people. Although I come from a noble family, I was destined to be born with responsibilities and cannot enjoy freedom like you."

After hearing his words, Baron showed a thoughtful expression.

"Okay, you guys go back first. This is the key and deed of the house, and the address is also hung on the key. I still have a lot of business to deal with, so I will go back first." Duke Owen brought a group of guards after he finished speaking out of here.

"Duke Owen is completely different from other nobles on the mainland." Miles on the side sighed.

"Why is it different?" Rhodes asked.

"I have never seen such an amiable nobleman. I never thought that one day I would be able to stand beside the high-ranking duke and be appreciated by him. When I am old, I will still be able to tell my grandson about this experience. " Miles took off the clothes on his body and folded them carefully. Fortunately, he still had one inside. "I will treasure this dress, after all, it was touched by the Duke himself."

Rhodes was a little speechless, he was a time traveler and he didn't feel like Miles at all, and he was able to talk to some nobles on an equal footing in Nord, such as Jon in Alpine Province.Maybe the Nord Kingdom is different from other countries on the mainland in this respect?
"It's time to go." Baron reminded Rhodes.

Rhodes came back to his senses, "I still have to go back to that hotel first, my armor is still there."

"I went there with you, and I still have some things there." Miles said.

……

It took a lot of effort for Rhodes to take Miles and Michelle out of the hotel, settle the rent, and return to the house donated by Duke Owen in Gulfstream City.

Rhodes didn't expect that he still had fans. He just met many people who wanted to treat him to a meal or a drink, but he refused them all.Afterwards, I met a group of fanatical fans and wanted Rhodes to teach them how to release that kind of flaming giant hand. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come back today.

This house is not bad, with two floors and a small courtyard at the entrance, and it is located in a very prosperous location in the city.

"Duke Owen is going to use this house as a prize of [-] gold coins, right?" Rhodes said after walking into the material. more comfortable.

Baron stood up from the wooden sofa, took out the wooden box as a prize from his arms, and said, "The bonus is here."

"This box has a space storage function, can it hold ten thousand gold coins?" Rhodes asked curiously.

Baron opened the box. Contrary to what Rhodes thought, the box contained neatly arranged amethysts.

"This is amethyst. In many places in the mainland, this kind of gemstone can also be used as currency. The value of a gemstone is determined according to how much magic power can be stored in the gemstone. In fact, gemstones are more useful than gold coins for many people. Not only It is easy to carry and can also be used as a spell-casting material." Myers picked up an amethyst and said.

"A total of 20 yuan." Rhodes counted, "A piece of such amethyst is equivalent to [-] gold coins?"

Misel also picked up a piece of sensor and said, "The value of one piece is slightly higher than five hundred gold coins."

"Let's share these amethysts equally," Baron said.

Miles was surprised when he heard it. He originally thought that it would be good if he could get one. After all, he really won by lying down. He didn't expect Baron to be willing to split it equally.

"I'll keep Rhodes' part for you for free." Baron directly took eight of them and put them in his arms.

Rhodes was speechless, so he should concentrate on it next time, and be careful of Baron.

"As for this house, I will provide a few more keys. Whoever comes to this city will live there in the future. Or should we sell it and split the money equally after we leave?" Baron asked.

"It's not good to sell the house donated by the Duke, it's better to rent it out." Miles suggested.

Rhodes doesn't care, but he thinks it's not good to rent out, no one will come here to collect the rent, even if you find someone to help you, you don't have time to travel so far to get the money.

"It's better to keep it for whoever needs it in the future, and we don't have time to pay rent." Baron also thought of this, "As for this short sword, it can't be used for fighting at all, so let's sell it."

"Don't sell it, I'm willing to pay to buy it back for collection." Miles said hastily.

"Forget it, I'll give it to you if you want it. I guess this dagger is worth several hundred gold coins." Baron threw the dagger to Miles.

Miles was afraid that he would not dare to catch it, so Rhodes next to him reached out to catch the dagger.

Baron, who had always been stingy, was so generous that he gave away a dagger worth hundreds of gold coins.

After Miles took the dagger, he put an amethyst on the table, "Just treat it as if I bought it. I took too much, which made me a little embarrassed."

"You also know that you're sorry?" Michelle glanced at him.

"Rhode, why did Duke Owen want Baron to be his vassal just now, but didn't want you to be his vassal?" Myers changed the subject with some embarrassment...
