Chapter 450 Al's Bag

After explaining some things to Slade, Rhodes returned to the castle.

These nobles are different from ordinary soldiers. They can live in the rooms of the castle, while the soldiers can only be crowded in the barracks of the castle, or even the temporary barracks built outside the castle yesterday.

Rhodes took out Al's luggage from the space ring, hesitated for a while, and finally submerged his mental power into it, and began to check the items inside.

He didn't look through Al's luggage before, but only used it to store the items he got from the palace. The purpose was to free up his space ring so that he could use it to store fresh ingredients.

In addition to those sniper crossbows and the magic equipment found in the castle next to the palace, there were also a few personal belongings of Al in the luggage.

A broken gun, a giant sword, a set of armor, and several animal skin books and letters.

Rhodes took out one of the animal skin books and looked through it. This animal skin book seemed to be Al's diary.

He suddenly became interested. Al's diary must have recorded many secret things about the Roman Empire, but he was a little entangled. Al is still alive in this world. Is it not good to look at other people's privacy like this?

Rhodes thought that he had read Otto's diary before, but he didn't have such an idea at the time, so he opened the diary.

After flipping through dozens of pages, he didn't see any secrets. He only ate a mouthful of dog food. Al filled the diary with the warm daily life of him and his wife.

Not long after, Rhodes put down the diary and took out a letter inside.

He felt that these letters should have been sent to him by Al's nobles, and there must have been a lot of important things about the Roman Empire written in them.

Even without Rhodes, the contents of these letters can be used to drive a wedge between Duke Elvis and his nobles at some point in the future.

After Rhodes opened the letter and glanced at it, he felt full.

He actually fed him another mouthful of dog food.

He felt that in addition to the letter written by Al to his wife among the remaining letters, there must be a few valuable letters, so Rhodes took out all the letters in the bag.

After a while, Rhodes put all these letters in his luggage, found a place and sat down, ready to calm down his mood.

None of these letters meant anything to him, they were all letters from Al to his wife, or from his wife to him.

Rhodes' only gain is that he learned a lot of nasty love words.

I don't know why Al didn't take out all these letters and leave this bag to me.

Could it be that he is afraid that I won't have enough to eat, so he specially prepared dog food for me?
Rhodes took out the remaining animal skin books. He didn't believe that all the letters in them were dog food.

After opening a book of animal skins, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief.

This book records Al's experience in combat, and even some secret combat skills.

Rhodes felt that Al's original purpose of writing this book was to find a successor to inherit his mantle, and then seek revenge from his brother, the emperor of the empire.

When he turned to the last page, he found himself slapped in the face by the speed of light. Al wrote on the last page that this book was going to be left to his unborn child, and then ended up talking about his wife and unborn child. The child expresses his love.

Rhodes opened another animal skin book. This book is very thick, and the cover says "Chronicle of the Roman Empire". later history.

Then it focuses on the history of the past few decades, and from the perspective of Al himself, so this book records in detail the several brilliant victories of Al when he was young on the grassland.

Rhodes lit the oil lamp and watched with relish from the first side.

Al's writing is very good. Although this is a history book, Rhodes doesn't find it boring at all.

So many love letters and family letters were not written in vain.

Looking at it, Rhodes turned over a piece of animal skin paper sandwiched in the book.

After glancing at it, he was shocked by the contents of this animal skin.

The nobleman who wrote this letter actually told Al that the emperor's only son was not his own, and listed a lot of evidence.

For example, the emperor used to be very lecherous, but after being injured while hunting, he became less sexual, and the emperor's son was born after that.

Rhodes felt that the evidence on the animal skin paper that the nobleman considered as ironclad evidence could not prove that the emperor was greened. He felt that the nobleman just wanted to do something.

However, he can find an opportunity to use this to stir up civil strife in the empire in the future. The emperor's son on the animal skin is the current emperor of the Roman Empire.

He put the animal skin aside and continued to read the book.

Unknowingly, Rhodes heard the sound of the horn for getting up, and he looked out the window, only to find that it was already dawn.

Does time go by so fast?
Rhodes put the book on the table into the space ring, and prepared to take time to read it on the road.

After he took out some food from the space ring to fill his stomach, he left the castle and walked to the place where his army was now.

All the soldiers were having breakfast, and Rhodes found Slade.

"Should you have chosen someone?" Rhodes asked.

"Yes, my lord." Slade replied: "But I have to wait until you give us those crossbows before I can formally start training them."

"Practice with ordinary crossbows first, and I'll give you these crossbows when we go to the battlefield soon." Rhodes said, it would be a little troublesome if these crossbows fell into the hands of other countries.

In that world, the Roman Empire signed an agreement with the Fish Kingdom, so the Fish Kingdom did not worry that the imperial nobles would violate the agreement to research and manufacture these crossbows by themselves.

But now it is different, as long as a sniper crossbow is accidentally lost by his own soldiers, as long as it is picked up by the imperial people, I believe it will not be long before they can manufacture this kind of crossbow in large quantities.

If so, you're in trouble.

Generally speaking, Rhodes still doesn't trust these rough recruits under his command.

"Okay." Slade nodded: "However, if you practice with an ordinary crossbow, you may not be able to shoot with this kind of crossbow when you go to the battlefield. Crossbows are much smaller."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let them shoot very far away. This kind of crossbow will hardly have any deviation within 100 meters. I only plan to let them shoot things so close. It will waste a lot if the distance is far away." Crossbow bolts, and our conditions here can't make this kind of crossbow bolts." Rhodes waved his hand.
