Such powerful stamina and explosive force.

It would be a ghost story if there wasn't some special bloodline involved.

Even Red Hare isn't this awesome.

"There's a town ahead, let's go take a look."

Rhode lightly pulled the reins, and the warhorse's speed instantly began to slow down.

Ten minutes later, a sizable village came into view.

Rhode leisurely rode his horse into the town.

Along the way, the surrounding commoners looked at Rhode on horseback with awe.

With that attire, he was either a knight or a nobleman.

Certainly a big shot that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend.

"Hurry to the inn and take a look, a big shot has arrived!"

"He's very generous!"

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true. I personally saw him take out a bag of gold coins, and he pays for everything with gold coins."

Rhode, who was about to find a place to rest, heard the surrounding commoners' discussions and a curious look appeared on his face.

A bag of gold coins?

Paying for everything with gold coins?

In this small place, there's someone this awesome?

Not to mention this backward medieval era, even in modern times, gold is an extremely precious and rare precious metal.

It's very valuable.

In this world, the value of gold is even higher.

An ordinary serf, working hard for a whole year, only earns a few gold pounds.

Note, it's gold pounds, not gold coins.

A standard gold pound contains a small amount of gold to increase its value.

And the value of a gold coin is at least comparable to a dozen gold pounds.

Enough to buy a batch of ordinary horses, or two cows.

Casually using a gold coin to buy things.

Not to mention ordinary people, even nobles aren't this extravagant.

Following the crowd, he arrived at an inn.

Riding on horseback, Rhode's gaze passed through the crowd and looked into the inn.

A wooden table was surrounded by a dense crowd.

Beside the wooden table, a drunken young man generously scattered gold coins.

"I have gold coins, bring out all the best things you have here!"

Rhode frowned slightly.

Wearing ordinary commoner clothes, and not showing any noble manners.

This kind of guy, able to take out a pile of gold coins at will, even a fool can see there's something wrong.

Tap tap tap!

He pulled the reins and rode forward.

"It's Lord Knight!"

"Hurry up and salute, you idiot, do you want to die!"

The commoners surrounding the inn, looking at the approaching warhorse, and the oppressive figure on the horse.

Scattered in a panic.

Bowing their heads in salute.

In this era of distinct classes, commoners must salute when they encounter nobles, even just a knight.

"What's wrong, why did you stop!"

The drunken young man, looking at the sudden stop of the music and dancing, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He raised his head, only to find that the innkeeper and dancers in front of him had all taken off their hats and bowed to him.

Salute?

Eric's drunkenness instantly sobered up by more than half.

He was just an ordinary commoner, how could he possibly have others salute him.

Even if he had more money, it would be the same.

"There's someone behind me, right."

Eric forced a smile and slowly turned to look behind him.

A huge shadow loomed over him, a pair of dark and fierce eyes met his.

On the tall horse, clad in armor, a young man with an outstanding temperament was looking at him with interest.

"What's your name?"

Rhode slowly leaned down, his condescending gaze carrying a suppressive power.

"Eric!"

Eric swallowed, his eyes filled with fear.

"Can't you lower your head, Eric."

Rhode smiled slightly.

Although he wasn't a true knight, who would know?

"Forgive my offense, Lord Knight!"

Eric bowed in panic.

Looking at the nervous young man, Rhode narrowed his eyes slightly.

Clearly, this was just an ordinary commoner.

However, where did a commoner get so many gold coins?

"Lord Knight, can I leave?"

Eric, who had completely sobered up, thought of the scene of him scattering gold coins just now, and his face was slightly nervous.

He regretted why he had been so high-profile.

Even nobles would be tempted by so many gold coins.

If this knight wanted to snatch the gold coins in his hand, would he have a chance to resist?

Just thinking about it felt despairing.

Chapter 44: Magical Tinderbox!

"You can leave, but I need to ask you something."

Rhode slowly said.

He wasn't interested in snatching other people's gold coins.

However, he was very interested in the source of these gold coins.

"Baron Harris lost a bag of gold coins, and I am looking for the thief who stole them."

"I think you should explain where these gold coins came from."

Eric's expression suddenly became panicked when he heard this.

Stealing the wealth of nobles was a serious crime, and if the amount was too large, he could even be hanged.

He didn't want to die.

"Lord Knight, my gold coins were not stolen from others."

"But obtained from a witch."

Witch?

Rhode's eyes were surprised. Speaking of which, 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 confessed the origin of his gold coins.

The story was simple, this young man named Eric was a serf in a knight's territory.

Due to friction between the two lords, the knight was conscripted.

And he was taken to the battlefield as the knight's squire.

But this guy was also a cowardly character, and he deserted not long after going to the battlefield.

On the way of escape, he met a witch.

Who tricked him into a tree hole. Below the tree hole, there were three treasure houses.

The first treasure house contained piles of copper coins.

The second treasure house contained piles of silver coins.

And the third treasure house contained a large number of gold coins.

In each treasure house, there was a terrifying monster guarding it.

The witch tricked him into the tree hole, and these gold coins were the spoils he brought out of the tree hole.

Later, because of a dispute with the witch, he killed the witch.

Then he came to this town.

That was roughly the origin of the gold coins, but he embellished it a bit.

Turning it into a story of war defeat, forcing him to leave his hometown and wander to this town.

Then bravely fighting the witch, and finally taking the gold coins from the hands of the tree hole monster after nine deaths and one life.

Listening to Eric's story, the expression on Rhode's face was slightly strange.

Why does this story sound so familiar?

Thinking about it carefully, isn't this the Tinderbox from the fairy tale?

If he was still a little doubtful before.

Then he was now basically certain that he had really transmigrated into a fairy tale world.

However, this fairy tale world wasn't as innocent and romantic as in the fairy tales.

On the contrary, it was very real.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Bravely fighting the witch? Defeating the terrifying behemoth? If you really have such strength, then let me see it."

Rhode slowly drew the knight's sword from his waist.
