"You can leave, but I want to ask you something."
Rhode said slowly.
He had no interest in robbing others' gold coins.
However, he was very interested in the source of these gold coins.
"Baron Harris has lost a bag of gold coins and I am looking for the thief who stole it."
"I think you should explain where these gold coins came from."
Eric's face suddenly became a little flustered when he heard this. Stealing the wealth of the nobles is a serious crime. If the amount is too large, he may even be hanged. He doesn't want to die.
"Sir Knight, my gold coins are not stolen from others."
"Instead, it was obtained from a witch."
Witch?"
Rhodes looked surprised. This was the second time he had encountered something related to witches.
The first time was in Little Red Riding Hood's village.
Under the threat of death, Eric honestly explained the origin of his gold coins.
The story is very simple. This young man named Eric is a serf in a knight's territory.
Because of the friction between the two lords, the knight was conscripted.
And he served as the knight's squire and went to the battlefield together.
But this guy is also a coward. Not long after he went to the battlefield, he became a deserter.
On the way to escape, he met a witch.
He lured him into a tree hole. Under the tree hole, there were three treasure houses.
The first treasure house stored mountains of copper coins.
The second treasure house stored mountains of silver coins.
And the third treasure house stored a large number of gold coins.
In each treasure house, there is a A terrifying monster was guarding the tree hole.
The witch tricked him into entering the tree hole, and these gold coins were the spoils he brought out of the tree hole.
Later, because of a dispute between him and the witch, he killed the witch.
Then he came to this town.
The origin of the gold coins is probably like this, but he embellished it.
It turned out that he lost the war, had to leave his hometown, and drifted to this town.
Then he bravely fought the witch, and finally took the gold coins from the hands of the monster in the tree hole after escaping death.
After listening to Eric's words, the expression on Rod's face was a little strange.
Why does this story sound so familiar?
Think about it carefully, isn't this the tinderbox in the fairy tale?
If he said that he was a little skeptical before.
Now he is basically sure that he has really traveled to the fairy tale world.
However, this fairy tale world is not as naive and romantic as in fairy tales.
On the contrary, it is very real.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Fight the witch? Defeat the terrifying beast? If you really have the strength, let me see it."
Rod slowly drew out the knight's sword from his waist.
This was the prop he just bought at the market to disguise his identity.
Now it comes in handy.
With the sharp blade across his neck, Eric trembled all over.
Rod's eyes were cold. This cowardly guy didn't even dare to go to the battlefield.
Dare to brag to him here?
Do you really think you are Andersen?
If this kind of trash can kill witches and terrifying beasts, he is a dragon slayer.
Under Rod's coercion, the terrified Eric finally told the truth honestly.
"No, it wasn't the monsters I defeated, it was the witch who used magic to defeat the monsters and got the gold coins."
"I just happened to pass by and encountered the seriously injured and unconscious witch. I killed her and took the gold coins."
"As for the tree hole, it is real, but there is a terrifying monster guarding it, so I dare not go in."
Rod's expression was not unexpected.
After all, even if it developed according to the fairy tale plot, this guy is not a good thing.
The witch used gold coins as a reward, gave him a piece of clothing with mysterious magic, and asked him to take out a tinderbox from the tree hole.
And this guy, after leaving the tree hole.
First, he went back on his word and killed the witch, and then he was lazy and spent all the gold coins on him.
Finally, he accidentally discovered the secret of the tinderbox and summoned the monster guarding the tree hole.
Because he coveted the beauty of the princess, he let the monster kidnap the princess.
After being discovered, the king hanged him.
He summoned the monster to kill the king and a group of ministers, and finally occupied the princess and the kingdom.
In short, this is a greedy, selfish and lustful villain.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have a tinderbox on you, give it to me."
Rod said indifferently.
This guy is a villain, and he is not a good person either.
"What, what tinderbox, I don't know."
Eric's face changed when he heard this, and his eyes were a little evasive.
He did have a tinderbox on him, which he found from the witch he killed by a surprise attack.
Although he didn't know what secrets this tinderbox had.
But, it must be a good thing for a knight to be so concerned about it.
Moreover, it was obviously him who killed the witch, so why did he give the thing to this guy.
Looking at the stubborn young man, Rhode didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with him.
"Why do you think I'm negotiating with you?"
With a cold expression, he waved his hand casually.
The knight's sword directly cut his neck.
Bargaining?
Are you worthy?
Panic screams came from all around.
A group of civilians who were watching the fun saw people die and fled one by one.
Rhode rummaged through the corpse for a few times and found a tinderbox and a thick-looking book.
Looking at Eric who was covering his neck with disbelief,
Rhode's face was expressionless.
The opportunity was given.
But it was useless.
You don't even have this kind of sense. If you don't die, who will die?
