Chapter 272 The Temptation of Catnip
"Okay, I understand now, you go back to sleep." Rhodes waved his hand to signal Raff, who was about to continue talking, to leave.
After hearing this, Raff showed a little disappointment on his face, and after saying goodbye to Rhodes, he turned and walked towards the shack.
Rhodes was very clear that Raff was trying to please him, so he explained so much to him. Although Raff was a little clever, Rhodes didn't want him to do things for himself at all.
No matter where it is, there will be no shortage of smart people, and Raff is not worthy of Rhodes' trust.
"Let's go back." Rhodes turned his head and said to Otto next to him.
The town was pitch black, only the entrances of buildings like taverns had some light, and the ground was full of pits Quentin and the others dug for the construction of sewers. Rhode almost fell down while walking on the road.
"Last time I asked you to hire servants and make furniture. How are you doing?" Rhodes asked suddenly while walking on the road.
"The furniture is almost ready, and all the servants have gone to your castle." Ott replied.
"I have time to go back and take a look later." Rhodes nodded, the castle is still being renovated, and Rhodes asked Quentin to add toilets, sewers, floor heating and water pipes to the castle according to his design.
The water pipes are made of metal that is unique in this world. It is as stable as platinum, will not rust, and is very light in weight, but its hardness is not even as good as wood, so it is not widely used. Before Rhodes wanted to propose water pipes , this metal is waste.
The water pipes in the castle use this kind of metal inside, and the outer layer is fixed with iron, which is also said by Hammer to be extravagant and wasteful.
Rhodes didn't care. Gilbert had already led some people to build a steel factory near the Rocky Mountains. When the steel factory was put into production, this steel was nothing at all.
After returning to the big house, Rhodes first found Lorraine and asked her to help him prepare some food. After that, he took the sword to the yard and began to realize whether it was useful to practice swords in the dream world.
Rhodes held the sword, and felt that the sword in his hand was now an extension of his body, like a finger.
Practicing basic swordsmanship can increase the proficiency of Dugu Nine Swords, and practicing Dugu Nine Swords can also increase the proficiency of basic swordsmanship. The way of swordsmanship is interlinked. After practicing one swordmanship to the extreme, it will be very easy to learn other swordmanship. easy.
In less than half an hour, Lorraine prepared the food and asked Rhodes to eat.
On the table that had just been cleared, there was a plate of steamed buns, a roast chicken and a plate of scrambled eggs.
"Today, I finally know what you eat every day. It's not kind of you to do this." As soon as Rhodes sat at the dining table, Baron walked in smelling the aroma.
Some time ago, Rhodes had been staying in the room to practice three-point return to vitality, and Lorraine always sent the prepared dishes to Rhodes' room.
And Baron didn't come back here some time ago, and stayed in the tavern to help Rhodes choose the right manpower.
Now Rhodes finally has enough tax officers and clerks.
These people started working as soon as they took office, responsible for recording and managing simple affairs on the territory.
"If you want to eat, sit down and eat. I can't finish eating all by myself." Rhodes pulled out the bench next to him and motioned for Baron to sit down.
"It's a pity, I'm already full." Baron shook his head.
When Rhodes saw Baron, he suddenly thought that he could translate a few of the secret books he got last time, let them practice and improve their strength.
In addition, he can also give his soldiers to practice, but he will use martial arts cheats as rewards, and let those soldiers exchange for their merits.
Although Baron said he was full, he still picked up a steamed bun and put it in his mouth.
"I still prefer the kind with meat in it." Baron smacked his lips. "You let the little maid who cooks for you every day teach the chef here a few tricks. I don't want to eat bread every day in the future."
"Go and talk to her yourself, she will listen to you." Rhodes replied.
Baron nodded, walked and gnawed on the steamed buns, and left here.
After filling his stomach, Rhodes went to take a simple bath, and then lay on the bed, ready to enter the dream world.
Although he didn't wake up for long, he was still very sleepy after three or four days without sleep.
Rhodes plans to live according to normal people's work and rest time in the future, work during the day and practice at night while sleeping.
Not long after lying in bed, Rhodes fell into a dream.
He opened his eyes and found that he was still lying on the bed like last time, and everything in the room also made him feel awkward.
Rhodes stood up, opened the door and walked out.
When he left the room with both feet, the familiar corridor disappeared, and Rhodes found himself in the courtyard of the castle.
The huge black cat was sleeping on its belly not far away.
Rhodes felt a little strange, why did the black cat sleep in the dream world?
He went up and opened the black cat's eyelids with his hands, and found that it was covered with a white film, which seemed to be really sleeping.
If the cat is pretending to be asleep, if you lift its eyelids, you will see its big golden eyes.
When Rhodes saw this situation, he didn't bother it any more. Instead, a sword appeared out of thin air on each of his hands, and both hands practiced the Dugu Nine Swords at the same time.
Now he is more proficient at doing different things with both hands separately, but it still takes a while to practice two different martial arts with both hands at the same time.
After some time, the huge black cat not far from Rhodes woke up and looked at Rhodes with its big golden eyes.
"I didn't summon you this time, why did you come in again? Meow." The black cat asked a little strangely.
Rhodes stopped and shook his head, "I don't know, I just came in after falling asleep."
He noticed that the black cat used "I" instead of "I" this time. He felt that the black cat used "I" because it wanted to pretend to be dignified during the day.
The black cat showed a thoughtful look, and then it stared fiercely at Rhodes, "This is my territory, you trespassed without my permission, you must hand over the gift to the king."
"How about finding a kitten for you in reality?" Rhodes smiled.
Looking at the expression of the black cat, he seemed not very satisfied with the gift.
The next moment, Rhodes made a huge catnip grow on the ground in front of the black cat.
"You're smart." The black cat tore off a leaf from the catnip and began to suck it.
Not long after, it showed an expression of enjoyment, lying on the ground with its belly upturned, and kept licking the catnip scattered on the ground.
Rhodes shook his head dumbfounded, and then continued to practice the sword.
