Chapter 14: Murder by the Sword
Rod breathed a sigh of relief, put down his left hand, and looked at the lower left corner of the field of vision, where 20 points of energy were reduced, just now in order to ensure that he could kill the strong man with one blow, Rod temporarily converted 20 points of energy into magic power, fused it with his own magic power, and killed the strong man with a simple and rough magic explosion.
Tom absorbed the unclean energy of the major markets in Anluo City, in addition to the enhanced body, he also awakened a kind of spell ability, the stun technique, although this is only a trick-level spell, but it is enough to make the strong man in a trance for a moment.
Taking advantage of the intelligence, Rhodes directly killed the strong man, an enemy who was very strong for Rhodes, and was killed by Rhodes before he could exert his strength.
The left hand directly devoured the soul of the strong man, and successfully increased the energy by 300 points, reaching 430 points, and the soul was mixed with the energy of the strengthening potion, obviously he had taken the strengthening potion recently, plus the strong man was an official profession, and only one soul exceeded the energy provided by Bane twice.
The corpse was handed over to Tom, who deserved this reward as the hero of the ambush, after all, Rhodes was not a real demon, and there was no way to do such a thing as swallowing the spoils of war alone.
After Tom finished eating the corpse, his body crackled with a crunch, bulging chunks of muscles like small hills, combined with the remaining unclean energy of the day, Tom's strength and constitution became 11 points, and his agility and speed did not change.
This is the result of Tom's instinctive choice, and unlike humans, Tom of beasts instinctively develops in the direction of omnipotence, which is a survival rule that comes from the depths of his blood.
Rhodes didn't say anything about his own advice, everyone has their own way of survival, even Tom is no exception.
What's more, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with all-round development, because Tom's current essence is a demon, and demons are known for their strong physique, and there is no physical limit for human beings, so they can be fully developed.
"We're going to get back to Anluo City at once."
Anluo City could be seen from afar, and Rhodes could clearly feel the commotion in Anluo City.
The magic power just now, strictly speaking, is not very huge, but it has not been seen in Anluo City for more than ten years, so it will inevitably alarm Anluo City, but because there has been no accident for more than ten years, Anluo City's reaction speed is extremely slow.
When Rod sneaked back to Anluo City and lay down on the bed again after taking a shower, he heard the sound of soldiers running outside Anluo City, which also woke up the sleeping people, they hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, and Rod also opened the window as if he had just woken up.
I just saw the old man surrounded by soldiers in the center, the old man was wearing a mage robe, the hood was placed in his mind, but his body was tightly wrapped in the robe, this was the garrison mage of Anluo City, Rhode reacted instantly, just now he should have noticed the magic released by Rhodes.
This person's physical attributes are not strong, his strength, physique, and speed are only barely 10 points, but his agility is relatively high, reaching the level of 12 points.
In addition to this, there are values that Rhodes has not quantified yet, such as mana, intelligence, and bloodline, although Rhodes can see it, but due to the lack of standards, it is not quantified.
But even so, it can be seen that the old man is very strong in terms of intelligence and magic power, much stronger than ordinary people, much stronger than the original master, and stronger than the magic power that Rhode released just now.
The old man turned his head as if he had a feeling, just in time to see Rod who was looking at him, Rod did not avoid it, calmly looked directly at the old man's gaze, frowned and observed for a while, the old man turned around, and left here quickly with the soldiers.
Rod smiled secretly, how could he not notice the traces of magic power, as early as when the magic power was released, Rod used the demon heart to eliminate the traces of magic power, with the strength of the old man, he definitely didn't want to see that the magic power came from him, let alone the fact that the corpse capital was eaten by Tom now.
Rod yawned and went back to bed, the wet feeling made him uncomfortable, gathered the magic in his hand, steamed the wet bedding dry, and lay down comfortably.
The clock was fast approaching the middle of the night, and it was approaching dawn.
In the hunting camp, the sheriff was pacing restlessly, and the defenders did not report for a long time, which made him feel uneasy, and thinking of Rod's cunning in the narrative, the sheriff could not help but clench his fists, and when the first rays of sunlight shone into the tent, the sheriff called out to his cronies.
Can't completely hand over this matter to Nice's guards, there is no return yet, maybe he has been plotted by Rod, he has to personally send someone to arrange the backhand, if it can't be used, it's the best, if it can be used, he is not afraid of being escaped by Rod.
"Your Excellency, you call me."
"I told you to do one thing, to borrow a knife to kill ......."
The dawn shone through the window, and Rhodes got up on time, got up as usual, washed and exercised, put on the enchanted full-body armor obtained through the life and death fight, put on the big sword on his back, put on a cloak that could hide his body, and walked out of the room with all the money and train tickets.
Finally, he looked at his home and strode away without looking back.
First, he habitually entered the academy, went to the teacher's office to say goodbye to the teacher, and then rushed early in the morning and took Tom to the city gate, which was full of people who were going to Shanhai City to catch the market.
Rhodes plans to pay a few copper coins to ride with them to Shanhai City, which is a very common way to travel in Anluo City, and not everyone is a local tyrant like Bane.
At this time, Tom has become the size of a cat, and is being held in Rhodes's arms, this is the harvest of eating the strong man yesterday, she can already shrink to the size of a cat, and she is not afraid of ordinary people at all.
Rod looked for an honest old man with his eyes, gave three copper coins and said that he didn't need to take care of food and lodging, and successfully got on the old man's ox cart.
It takes three days to go back and forth to Shanhai City, a day and a half when you go and a day and a half when you come back, and there are hotels and taverns on the way, which are the fixed accommodation points for these gatherers.
It's just that the recent banditry has been rampant, which has greatly reduced the number of people rushing to the market, and he didn't set off until the morning, which made Rhodes, who got up early in the morning, a little depressed for a few seconds.
On the other side, the old mage that Rhodes had seen last night had found the remnants of two people at this time, a leather armor and a half-body armor, and the old man recognized all the people in these two pieces of armor, which were the city guards and the noble guards from the royal capital.
The old mage's heart was like a mirror, combined with the events in Anluo City in recent days, he immediately guessed the matter five or six points, and couldn't help but think of the Rod he saw last night, and then turned his head away to stop himself from thinking further, but sent someone to tell the sheriff and the young master Nice truthfully about the discovery with a fast horse, and he only pretended to be old and confused.
Although he was not afraid of the sheriff, the other two people, one was a promising young man, and the other was a descendant of the nobles of the royal capital, both of whom he did not want to provoke, and he just wanted to be a deaf and dumb person at this time, and he didn't think about it at all.
In the hunting camp, when he heard the news, the sheriff was shocked that Rhodes was able to kill the guard, and that was a junior warrior who had been a talented soldier for many years.
Then he stroked his chest and was glad that he had sent someone to rob and kill in the early morning, if he let Rod officially enter Wang Lit and other colleges, then not only would he not have the opportunity to take revenge in this life, but he would also put himself into it, his career would be stopped from now on, and the dream of nobility would become an eternal thought.
Young Master Nice was very angry, his face changed and changed, he knew the strength of his guards best, but he didn't expect to be attacked and killed in the wild, he didn't even leave a last word, and he promised to solve Rod yesterday, but today he was slapped in the face like this, which made his face where to put it.
Ness's wrath made the sheriff's heart move slightly, and a plan was born in his heart.
Knowing that Rhodes is scheming and powerful, he is worried that the backhand he has arranged is not enough to kill Rhodes, so when Rhodes enters the royal capital, he will have no way to be an enemy of him, but Nice is different, as a nobleman in the royal capital, he also has influence in the royal capital, and it should be enough to kill Rhodes.
"Young Master Nice, this son is really hateful, just a few civilians dare to attack and kill your personal guards, it should be killed, it's just ......."
Seeing that Ness had been attracted attention, the sheriff deliberately looked at Ness cautiously, and paused without continuing.
"Go on, just what."
The sheriff trembled, but his words were fluent and clear: "It's just that this son is cunning and has no king's law, this time I don't know what kind of plan he used, disguised the scene as a beast ambush, young master Nice golden body, don't go in person, so as not to be ambushed by the villain, it is better to call soldiers and escort young master Nice ......." ”
Ness was furious, and with a wave of his sword, he slammed the sheriff away with a palm, showing a stronger strength than the sheriff.
"Are you saying that Young Master Ben is afraid of a little turtle, someone is coming, Young Master Ben wants to go back to the city to avenge the guards, I want to see which pariahs dare to attack and kill Young Master Ben's guards."
The sheriff spat out blood, and hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Ness, his body was in severe pain, but he was sneering in his heart: "There is a royal nobleman who wants to kill you, see how you survive this time." ”
