Chapter 171: Allegiance
Watching the centaur leader drink the Elven Spring, Rhodes didn't make any unnecessary movements for a while.
Rhodes knew that in his previous state, the Centaur leader had only suddenly swallowed some of the fountain of elves that had spewed out of it, causing it to regain consciousness. And once the centaur leader still retains his original memories, the same will happen after drinking the Elven Fountain given by Rod.
The reason why he chose to make this attempt around the bone dragon was that Rhodes was afraid that the centaur leader would repeat the previous situation, and once the centaur leader lost control, Rhodes did not want to spend great effort to fight the centaur leader again.
With the bone dragon on the side, Rhodes doesn't have to worry about anything about the centaur leader's test.
After the previous battle, Rhodes put the mask worn by the centaur leader back into the spatial ring, and at this time, Rod was able to directly observe the centaur leader's expression.
In Rod's sight, the centaur leader did not show any unusual expression after drinking the Elven Spring.
On the contrary, the centaur leader showed a feeling of unfinished business, not knowing whether it was because of the excellent effect of the Elven Fountain on him, or simply because of the sweet taste of the Elven Spring.
At this point, Rhodes turned to the centaur leader and asked, "What's the most memorable thing in your memory?" ”
When questioning the centaur leader, Rhodes manipulated the spirit sigil to make sure that what the centaur leader said was the truth.
The Centaur leader replied, "From a cold corpse to a death knight by his master." ”
After listening to the centaur leader's questioning, Rhodes continued to ask, "Do you remember everything you went through in your lifetime?" What about this item? As he spoke, a hideous mask appeared in Rod's hand.
The centaur leader shook his head: "I don't remember...... I know how to use this mask, but I can't remember where it came from......"
After listening to these two answers from the centaur leader, Rod understood an extremely important point. Rhodes confirmed that the centaur leader at this time had completely forgotten the memories of his life, and the memories of the centaur leader at this time should have started when it was transformed into a death knight.
At this time, looking at the centaur leader in front of him, Rhodes asked the most crucial question: "Are you willing to be loyal to me as a death knight?" ”
Hearing Rod's question, the centaur leader immediately nodded and said, "It's my honor. ”
Rhodes looked at the centaur leader in front of him, knowing that it had completely broken away from its original will. Led by a new will, he is willing to serve himself, and he has truly earned the allegiance of a death knight.
At this time, after verifying the idea in his heart, Rod did not pay attention to the undead creatures around him, but left alone towards the passage behind him.
Due to the strong death energy emitted by the bone dragon, there were not many magical elements around the bone dragon except for death energy. Meditation performed next to the bone dragon will be less effective.
He hadn't gone far before Rhodes found a secluded spot in the passage and prepared to begin meditating.
…………
In this quiet forest, a caravan was driving by in a horse-drawn carriage.
According to the agreement between the merchant group and the centaur tribe, the merchant group would come here every once in a while, bringing a lot of food and daily necessities to trade with the centaur tribe located here.
For the merchants, the centaur tribe that lives here all year round can obviously accumulate a lot of precious items, whether it is gold treasures obtained when plundering other tribes, or leather obtained after hunting, all of which are needed by the merchants.
Laer, the leader of this group of merchants, has a lot of expectations for this trade in his heart.
Ral is a human who has been in the territory of Eri for many years, so he knows a lot about the situation in the territory of Eri.
Lal knew that when the time came for the war, many trade routes would be interrupted, and the surrounding tribes would lack all kinds of necessary supplies because of this. And this made him keenly find an opportunity.
Through some information from the Thieves' Guild, Ral learned that the territory of the Silva tribe was not far ahead. This territory, long ago, has been home to the Silva tribe, and it has not changed over the years.
The strength of the Silva tribe is not as strong as that of the other large tribes, but Lal knows that tribes like this, which have been inherited for many years, obviously have their own unique methods, and will not suffer too much loss because of this war.
Even if some centaurs die due to war, there will still be many centaurs left in the tribe.
And in the current situation, having just experienced the baptism of war, with a long interruption in trade, the centaur tribe obviously needs a lot of goods, whether it is food, or reliable labor.
If it were the rest of the tribes in the Eri realm, Ral would not choose to engage in the slave trade, which would only cause them to resent the good-natured race, but for the centaur tribe, this was completely different.
Through his experience with the Centaur tribe, Ral knew that even a long-standing tribe like Silva had not forgotten the brutal instincts of the Centaurs, and that the slave trade was clearly feasible for the Centaur tribe.
Therefore, Lal took his caravan with a carton full of food and a large number of slaves to the Silva tribe.
The scouts in the merchant group were in front to inquire about the situation, while Ral remained inside a carriage, imagining what to expect next.
It didn't take long for Ral to learn through the news delivered by the scouts that his merchant group had arrived at the location of the Silva tribe.
At this point, Lal stepped out of the carriage and saw the inside of the tribe.
In Ral's sight, there were abandoned dwellings all around, and none of the centaurs who were supposed to live here had appeared.
Seeing this situation, Ral didn't have many doubts in his heart, but took out a horn-like object from his spatial ring, took it to his mouth, and began to blow.
A heavy sound came out in all directions, and the birds on the side were startled a lot.
Ral continued to play a few more sounds, then began to wait in place.
Before choosing to trade with the Silva tribe, Ral asked several merchant chiefs for information about the Silva tribe in order to make his next plans.
