"How did you do it? Quickly teach me." The young nobleman looked at the trees that fell on the ground not far away, and said with a depressed face.
"I'll talk about it later, now I have something that is countless times more important than this." Rhodes said.
"Bring this monster to the city?" The young nobleman nodded, and then he turned to the guard next to him and said, "You all heard it just now, don't I need to say anything more?"
The guards looked at each other after hearing this, dispersed the crowd, and cleared a way out.
"Let's go, let's go in together." The young noble moved the horses under him, walked in the front and led a group of people through the city gate.
Ice River City is just as prosperous and full of vitality as the one Rhodes came to a few years ago. The residents in the city are busy working for their livelihood as before, without any sense of impending disaster.
"I'm going to see Duke Garfield and tell him what I just told you." Rhode said as he walked.
The young nobleman smiled: "You can see my father if you want, but first you have to tell me how you did it just now."
"Master Andrew, don't be fooled by him, he looks a few years younger than you, how could he have such strength?
I have been traveling all over the world for so many years, and I have met at least a hundred extraordinary people, and I have never seen anyone who can split trees with a sword, let alone with fingers, this must be a trap. said a knight loudly.
He then turned his head and said to Rhodes: "Although the hand you showed just now can scare people, there are too many loopholes combined with what you said earlier.
If you really have the strength you showed just now, do you still need to come to see Duke Garfield?Even if there are thousands of monsters you drag in the holy mountain, you can solve it alone, right? "
"Master Andrew, I think this person is very likely to be a liar. He may have cut down the trees on the side of the road a long time ago, and then he used some means to keep those trees in their original state. Alchemy potions, very viscous glue and the like.
Otherwise, why didn't even a little wave of magic power appear just now, and he didn't seem to exert any strength, he just waved his fingers, and then such a large forest fell down. "Another knight echoed.
The young nobleman looked Rhode up and down carefully, and remained silent without speaking.
Rhodes ignored the words of these knights. He didn't expect that these people would not believe that the strength he showed just now was real, and they were still doubting themselves.
He turned his head and asked the young nobleman, "Where is your father now? I need to hurry to see him. There are at least hundreds of thousands of monsters on the holy mountain."
"There are hundreds of thousands of monsters like this in the holy mountain? Are you afraid you haven't woken up?
And you are going to take the monster you are dragging to the castle to meet the Duke?Stop joking, boy. "A knight laughed loudly.
Although what these knights said could be understood, Rhodes always felt that they were a little underwhelming.
All of them are Nord warriors who have maxed out their taunt skills.
"There's no time to waste," Rhodes said.
He felt that there was something wrong with his previous thinking, and he should have flown directly to the castle of Glacier City, and thrown this wandering spirit directly in front of Duke Garfield.
There is no need to think about letting ordinary people in the city know about this, and there is no need to let them know the difference between this wandering spirit and a ghoul now.
This move is a complete waste of time.
Rhodes thought about how to wake himself up. Since entering the world of the dead more than ten days ago, he hasn't had much rest.
And during this period, I also experienced many battles, encountered many strange things, and walked a long distance.
Although he is not drowsy now, his head is not sober, and it is easy to make the unwise decision just now.
"So what if he takes this monster to meet my father? I think he will be very interested in this monster." Andrew turned his head and said with a smile to the knights behind him.
"Since you think we are wasting time, then we have to speed up." He smiled at Rhodes again.
As soon as the words fell, he and the group of knights tacitly let the horses under him speed up and run on the street. The people on the road seemed to have been prepared for this, and hurriedly avoided it.
It appears that they often gallop their horses in the streets of the city.
Rhodes immediately dragged the wandering spirits to catch up, and he followed them all the time without surpassing them, although it was very easy for him.
Before long, they stopped in front of the castle.
"You can keep up with us." Andrew got off his horse and said to Rhodes.
"Hurry up and take me to see Duke Garfield." Rhode urged.
"How dare you speak to me in such an orderly tone?" Andrew handed the horse to the groom who came forward.
"I am a powerful noble with a fief, what about you?
I heard that your father seems to be more than one son of you. Are you his heir? Rhodes asked flatly, his patience was running out.
Andrew blushed when he heard Rhode's words, and looked very angry.
"Hahahaha, is there something wrong with your brain? Just now, you imagined that such a terrible thing happened, and now you say you are a nobleman." A knight next to him laughed loudly.
Several knights around also laughed.
Rhodes shook his head, feeling that there was no need to explain to them, it was just a waste of time.
He dragged the wandering soul towards the castle.
"Are you going to drag a ghoul in?" The guards in front of the castle stopped Rhodes.
Rhodes used his internal force to send the two guards flying.
He scanned the castle with the mage ball, and then dragged the wandering soul towards the castle's stairs.
Although Rhodes had never met Duke Garfield, he felt that Duke Garfield should be the burly middle-aged man praying in the prayer room on the second floor.
After Andrew saw Rhodes enter the castle, he quickly gave an order and rushed into the castle with the group of knights.
Walking fast, after ignoring the inquiries of several servants, Rhodes pushed open the door of the prayer room.
The burly middle-aged man who was praying to the statue of the Holy Spirit stopped praying when he heard the voice, turned around to look at Rhodes and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Rhodes took out his badge again: "I am Earl Rhodes of Hewang Plain, and now I have a very urgent matter to tell you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a guard who rushed in.
"My lord, this man forced his way in!"
Duke Garfield frowned and looked at the badge in Rhode's hand and the headless wandering soul bound by the hemp rope on the ground, looked at the guard and said, "Go and invite Grand Master George here."
"I've never seen the pattern on the badge in your hand, but if the bachelor later says your badge is fake, you should know what the crime is?" Duke Garfield looked at Rhodes and said.
"I only became a nobleman in recent years, it's normal for you not to know me," Rhodes explained.
The nobles in the south of Nord basically knew him. After all, they had participated in a large-scale war together, and relied on him to break through so many cities and castles.
But northern nobles like Duke Garfield were different. The south was too far away for them, and the king didn't even let them participate in the war.
It was purely an accident that the Duke of Ulver in the Far North Province would participate in the war a few years ago. It is said that he happened to meet him when he took some personal guards to the Winterfell Province to look for his daughter.
"This porcelain cup is produced in my territory." Rhodes pointed to the pure white porcelain cup placed on a cabinet by the wall.
At this moment, heavy footsteps came from outside the door, and not long after, Andrew walked into the prayer room.
"What's wrong with you?" Duke Garfield looked at Andrew and asked.
"This person may not be mentally normal. He said that there are many unkillable monsters brought by him in the holy mountain." Andrew pointed to Rhodes.
Duke Garfield squatted down, carefully observing the wandering soul that lost its head but kept struggling.
"Master Scholar has arrived." The guard's voice came from outside the door.
An old man with gray hair, wrinkled face, and old gray robes walked in.
"Please check to see if his badge is forged." Garfield stood up and said respectfully.
The status of bachelors in the Nord Kingdom is very high, and the status of grand bachelors is even more respected. Although they serve the noble lords, the noble lords will respect them very much.
Take Duke Garfield as an example. If nothing else happened, this bachelor should still be his first teacher, teaching him to read and write, and how to manage the territory.
His father, and even his grandfather were probably taught by this bachelor.
Rhodes handed the badge to the great scholar, and said, "A crack appeared on the other side of the holy mountain, connecting the real world with the world of the dead. This kind of undead monster came out of the world of the dead. Now at least hundreds of thousands of them have gathered.
Many villages and cities in the south of the holy mountain have been slaughtered by them. Only a big city like Glacier City can protect ordinary people, otherwise I would not have come here. "
"This badge is not forged, it belongs to Earl Rhodes of the newly occupied Hewang Plain." University Maester George returned the badge to Rhodes while speaking.
Rhodes turned to look at Duke Garfield: "Now time is running out, please hurry up and order ordinary people in the surrounding villages and towns to come to Ice River City to take refuge."
Duke Garfield frowned: "How can you prove that what you said is true? If I give the order, but there is no danger after that, will anyone listen to me in the future?"
"This guy is the proof." Rhodes pointed to the wandering soul on the ground and said.
Duke Garfield shook his head: "I have to send scouts to check it out, it won't take a few days."
"How many days?" Rhodes took a deep breath.
Sure enough, doing things at this time should not follow the rules, the efficiency is too low, and some different methods are needed.
"I'll let the scouts go there on horseback. It will only take three days at most." Duke Garfield nodded.
Boom!
Rhode suddenly jumped up, grabbed Duke Garfield by the neck and pressed him against the wall.
"I only give you 30 seconds to consider. Did you give the order yourself, or should I kill you and order it for you?" Rhodes asked, staring into Duke Garfield's eyes.
Magic power surged, and a layer of armor made of rock appeared on Duke Garfield out of thin air.
"Be smarter, you still have a chance to commit murder in front of Grand Master George?" Duke Garfield sneered.
"This will save more lives."
Boom!
There was another loud bang, and Rhode smashed the rock armor on Duke Garfield's body with a punch, and then immediately absorbed most of his strength and injected his internal energy into his body, sealing his dizziness point.
Rhodes casually threw the unconscious Duke Garfield on the ground, sneered at the angry-looking Grand Maester George, and walked towards the terrified Andrew.
"You still dare to commit murder in front of me!" University Maester George said angrily.
A huge magic power burst out from the old man's body, wrapping Rhodes in it.
Rhodes felt a strong sense of oppression coming from around, as if intending to squeeze him into pieces.
He operated the Beiming Divine Art to integrate all these magic powers into his body.
When Rhodes was still a lord leisurely before, he practiced all the martial arts that he found interesting, such as Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Tai Chi, Beiming Divine Art and so on.
Although he was able to display all these martial arts with the help of the system, most of them were not very powerful.
After the sudden enlightenment in the world of the dead, Rhodes' attainment in martial arts has increased a lot, as long as he can display martial arts, he can still display relatively good power.
It can also be said that his martial arts realm has improved a lot.
"You..." University Maester George glared at Rhodes, before he finished speaking, he fainted because he had absorbed too much magic power.
Rhodes did not directly integrate the magic power absorbed into his body into his own internal power, but temporarily stored it in the brain tissue where the magic power was stored before, and planned to deal with it later.
The Grand Maester's strength is not bad, it is estimated that killing an ordinary giant dragon will not be a problem, but it is almost no threat to Rhodes now.
Just now he could have used brute force to break free, but he wanted to take the opportunity to try the power of this martial art, but he didn't expect the efficiency to be higher than using brute force, and he also knocked out the great scholar.
He walked up to Andrew and said with a smile: "Now you are the Duke, are you willing to help me convey that order to your subordinates?"
"You're dreaming, and there's absolutely no way I'll help you." Andrew said, looking at Duke Garfield, who was lying on the ground.
"It's okay, you still have a few brothers, if you don't want to be the duke, there must be some of them who are willing.
Even if they don't want to, then I'll just find some rascal in the tavern, say he's the duke's illegitimate son, let him be the duke, and give the order. " Rhodes said with a smile.

Thanks to the monthly ticket of the commander of the land army!
