Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 453

Rhodes stood there and waited for a while, but no one came to him, but the feeling of being spied on never disappeared.

How is this going?

He closed his eyes and used the mage ball, and scanned his surroundings with mental power, but found no one approaching him.

On the street, there was only a large group of soldiers rushing towards the castle, and the residents of the fortress in the surrounding houses, who were all awakened by the explosion just now, were sticking their heads out to look out.

Rhodes felt that there should be someone like an assassin staring at him, and when he relaxed, he would suddenly appear in front of him and give him a fatal blow.

But what made Rhodes strange was that since someone had already discovered him, why didn't the soldiers in the fortress come to round him up.

Could it be that being that hides in the shadows and likes the feeling of hunting alone?

Or did he feel that in this fortress, he was the only one who could pose a threat to himself?

After thinking about it for a while, Rhodes felt that it would be meaningless even if he guessed the man's true thoughts, since he would not be able to find him for evidence anyway.

But no matter what, as long as you keep on guard against the person hiding in the shadows.

After waiting for the noise around him to subside, he put on his night clothes again and turned to leave.

He came downstairs to a tavern, and used lightness kung fu to get in through a window on the second floor.

It's still summer, so basically all the windows are open.

After entering the room through the window, he walked towards the bed in the middle of the room.

He was going to stay here tonight, and then go out to help them open the city gate when the Nord Kingdom attacked the city tomorrow.

Rhodes didn't know if there was anyone in this room, but even if there were, it didn't matter, he could seal all the numb and dumb acupoints of that person.

After walking to the side of the bed, the person on the bed suddenly jumped up and stabbed Rhodes with a dagger.

This person should have been awakened by the explosion just now, so he is not sleeping very soundly now, or he is not asleep at all.

Rhodes reached out and grabbed the man's wrist, while preparing to use the other hand to touch the man's acupuncture points.

Through the moonlight that came in through the window, Rhodes vaguely saw that this person looked like Michelle.

Illusion?

But at this time Rhodes' other hand had already touched this person, sealing his dumb and numb points.

Rhodes reached out to catch the man, and gently placed him on the bed. The man's numb hole was sealed, and if he didn't reach out to catch him, he would definitely hit the ground directly.

This will certainly alarm the people living in the surrounding rooms, and they may come to knock on the door to check the situation.

Then Rhodes closed the windows in the room, and lit the oil lamp.

Through the light of the oil lamp, Rhodes found that the person on the bed looked exactly like Michelle, and she was looking at him with fear.

Rhodes closed his eyes, and he was able to confirm that he was indeed not affected by the illusion.

Saying so...

Looking at Michel who was already in tears on the bed, he took off the mask on his face, which was part of the nightwear suit.

Then he smiled at Michel very embarrassedly: "I found a random room to hide in, I didn't expect you to stay in this room, I'll untie it for you right away, don't yell loudly later. "

Rhodes reached out and untied the numb and dumb points on Michelle's body, then took out a roll of very soft paper from the space ring and handed it to her: "Wipe your tears."

He could guess why Michelle was crying just now.

When a girl was sleeping, a masked man suddenly broke into the room, and after a fight, her body could not move, and then the masked man threw her on the bed.

Q: What would that masked man do to her?
Michel sat up and took the roll, tore off a little and blew his nose.

"Why are you here?" Rhodes asked in a low voice after seeing Michel's mood stabilized.

Michelle took a few breaths to calm down her mood. In the tens of seconds just now, she really felt the feeling of despair.

"I'm planning to go to the Kingdom of Nord to find you, to fulfill the bet I made when I left last time, and then I don't know why the canyon fortress suddenly doesn't allow people inside to go out, only people outside are allowed to come in, I'm already trapped It has been here for more than ten days." Misaier replied.

Rhodes couldn't remember the bet with Michel, but he didn't ask, but said: "The Nord Kingdom and the Roman Empire are at war. I happened to be in this fort a few days ago. The soldiers in the fort tonight I started to secretly capture the Nords in the fortress, and I ran to your room to avoid being chased."

In any case, Michelle is also an imperial person, and now he is standing on the opposite side of her. Rhodes is worried that if he tells her that he came in to cause sabotage, the two may not only break up their friendship, but also have a big fight.

"Don't lie, didn't you become a nobleman of your Nord? You sneaked into the fortress to be an internal response, right?" Michelle said angrily.

Rhodes was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect to be seen through so quickly.

"I know what you're worried about, I won't tell anyone else." Michelle said again: "But I won't help you deal with people from our Roman Empire."

"That's enough." Rhodes nodded. He found a seat and sat down. He felt that the sense of peeping after he entered the room still hadn't disappeared.

That person is definitely not in this room. With such a close distance and such a closed environment, no matter how superb his stealth skills are, Rhodes feels that he will definitely be able to find out.

Could it be that person's eyes can penetrate the wall?
Rhodes didn't know why he felt like being spied on, but he just felt it.

"You didn't ask me for the bet at that time? Are you embarrassed to ask?" Michelle stood up from the bed and asked.

"Ah? What did you just say?" Rhodes came back to his senses.

Michel walked to the only table in the room, took out a diamond and a book from the bag on the table, and walked over.

"This is your bet." Michel handed the diamond to Rhodes.

Then she gave the book in her hand to Rhodes: "This is what we lost to you. This is a combat technique that can heal injuries."

After seeing this, Rhodes remembered their bet at that time. He used a diamond to bet with Michel's father. If he won, the diamond would belong to them, and if Michel's father lost, Give him a book of combat skills.

They seem to be betting that if Glory City does not charge entry fees, whether the tax increase within half a year can offset the entry fees for a whole year.

Now it seems that Rhodes should have won the bet, but he had no plan to win the diamond back at the time, and thought that he would definitely lose.

"I have something for you too." Rhode suddenly remembered something.
