Inside the carriage as he walked forward, Rhodes took a few deep breaths and tried to adjust himself to the best condition.

At the end of the night's rest, Rhodes' mental state was restored.

Rhodes plans to take advantage of this opportunity to try deep meditation.

Rhodes didn't know how long the trip would take, but for himself with the limitations of the soul mission, no matter how much time the journey on the road took, he had no way to waste it, but he had to seize all the time and improve his strength.

For the current Rhodes, the only thing that can improve his strength is to conduct deep meditation.

Some time before, Rhodes had done many meditations, but these meditations were all shallow meditations, which were very different from deep meditations.

The main purpose of shallow meditation is to increase the maximum mana and increase the speed at which mana is restored. Light meditation can be easily withdrawn in any situation, without the risk of backlash, and can even replace sleep to a certain extent, but deep meditation is completely different.

The first thing to do in deep meditation is to diverge mana as a way to establish a connection with the magical elements around you, and then deepen that connection through your own spiritual exploration.

In the process of deep meditation, you should always be mentally focused, constantly feeling and exploring the magical elements around you. During deep meditation, the mage's connection to the magical elements is generally maintained by an uninterrupted supply of mana.

Once deep meditation begins, as the connection with the magical element deepens, the whole person will fall into a state of losing perception of the outside world, which cannot be easily lifted unless the mana is consumed.

Once this state is forcibly broken by an external force, the person who enters Deep Meditation will be subjected to a backlash based on the remaining mana. The more mana remaining, the greater the backlash against the body, and the archmage's backlash will even directly collapse his body.

This is also why, when ordinary mages are engaged in deep meditation, they will choose an absolutely safe environment, in addition to reducing the influence of the external environment on themselves, and more importantly, not allowing this kind of backlash to occur.

Rhodes knew about the backlash of deep meditation, but he still chose to meditate here.

The reason why Rhodes did this, in addition to wanting to seize all the time to improve his strength, was that the experience accumulated in his previous life as a mage gave Rhodes a unique understanding of deep meditation.

If the Silver Seal Merchant Group chooses to attack themselves while they are in a state of deep meditation, Rhodes can also use some special means to avoid the damage caused by the counterattack, although the mana may be gone, but it has no effect on Rhodes' melee strength.

Rhodes didn't tell the rest of the group not to bother him. According to the information provided by the maid, there is a spellcaster of unknown strength in the merchant group.

Due to the need to establish a connection with the surrounding magical elements, the mana fluctuations caused by deep meditation are extremely noticeable to casters of any rank.

Although Rhodes's move did not make it clear to the merchant group, it was also a gesture.

Rhodes believed that based on the previous behavior of the merchant group, he would not maliciously interrupt himself after realizing that he had begun to meditate deeply. Instead, they choose not to interfere with each other.

The merchant group wanted to transport the revenant crystal in his hand to Diya with peace of mind, and would not deliberately provoke powerful enemies, and Rhodes did not think about snatching the revenant crystal of the merchant group.

Since the cabin was not very spacious, Rhodes placed his hands flat on his lap while changing the achievement he was wearing for a beginner and prepared to start entering a meditative state.

…………

While Rhodes was meditating, the Silver Seal Merchant Group was advancing along a large road lined with dense forests with tall trees.

The road on which the carriage traveled was deliberately chosen by the merchant group, and although the ground was piled up with dead branches and leaves, the road was wide and there were no obstacles to it, which was conducive to the carriage's travel.

The sky was already bright, but the light on the road was still dim due to the surrounding dense forest.

In the center of the caravan, Uther was beside one of the largest carriages, directing the caravan's march.

Unlike yesterday's casual clothes, Uther was wearing a set of silver-white armor at this time, riding on a brown horse, carrying no weapons on his body, but wearing a spatial ring on his hand.

At this time, Uther was listening to his scouts report on the situation around him.

This scout was not young enough, and compared to the rest of the scouts who relied on their skills to eat, the scout in front of him was obviously unable to beat them. But this scout has a lot of experience in scouting his surroundings, and the path to the City of Sorrow is all too familiar.

The scout could tell from the way Uther looked in one direction after another that Uther was not paying attention to the situation he had reported. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, and the scout quickly finished the situation, and then returned to the front of the convoy to investigate.

Yusher was still looking in the direction of the caravan. In Yusher's mind, the safety of the merchant group was obviously more important.

Those two necromancers of unknown origin were clearly Yusher's concern. Yesterday, in desperation, in order to avoid the leakage of information, they can only be made passengers, and Yuser is now thinking of a way to deal with it.

Although he had let his best thieves keep an eye on them at all times, Yuser was still uneasy.

It wasn't until the scout left for a while that Yusher withdrew his gaze, and was just about to give a few orders to his scouts, when he realized that the situation of his subordinates had already been reported, and they had already arrived at the front to start investigating.

Yuser had no choice but to refocus his gaze on the carriage.

Last night, Rhodes was able to sleep peacefully in the carriage, but for the Silver Seal Merchant Clan, the preparations had only just begun.

Unlike Rod, due to Rod's entry into the Silver Seal's residence, coupled with what he said, Uther had to change his plan and pack up everything overnight, not caring that the rest of the people might find out about the abnormality, so he set off early this morning.

At this time, the merchant group was already on the road, and for the two necromancers in the team, Yusher began to feel a headache.

Uther understands that necromancers know the value of revenant crystals better than anyone else, and if there may be danger in the way, the greatest danger comes from the necromancers in the merchant group.

Although the two necromancers didn't make any demands on them, and only wanted to go to Deya, Yusher couldn't believe that the necromancer, who had always been known for his intrigue, wouldn't have any thoughts about the Revenant Crystal.

Even though they were under his own surveillance, Yuser could not be reassured, but thought that they were planning something.

Since he didn't know the strength of the other party, Yuser didn't dare to act rashly, and the only thing he could do was to increase the intensity of monitoring them.
