Chapter 232: The Black-robed Youth
Hearing Rod's question, the black-robed young man was stunned for a moment, but immediately replied, "Cloud of Death, seven thousand two hundred gold coins." See-through eye, 1,400 gold coins. ”
Having obtained the specific prices of these two spells, Rhodes knew that perhaps because of being in Diya, the price of the Cloud of Death was higher than that of ordinary third-order spells.
Even so, for Rod, who had received a large amount of gold from the dwarven vault, the price was nothing.
The price of third-order spells varies from high to low, but the highest of them is teleportation. Any creature that has mastered teleportation will have a great leap in strength, and this spell has been mastered by Rhodes through the magic book of the court mage Eddard.
Although he got a large number of gold coins, Rhodes did not have time to break them down, and Rod could only have a rough estimate of the total number of gold coins.
At this time, Rod directly took out a large number of gold coins from the space ring according to his own estimate. The gold coins were piled on the ground beside it, like a small sand dune.
Rhodes motioned to the black-robed young man in front of him and asked him to lead him to the ashram behind. In this process, the black-robed young man did not resist and led Rhodes to the rear.
As for the counting of these gold coins in the back, it is not for Rhodes to consider, Rod knows that for the transaction of large gold coins, the magic guild has a slave who specializes in counting gold coins, and there is generally nothing wrong with it.
Rhodes recalls that in Bracada, there were even special spells to count the number of gold coins, but the necromancers didn't seem to have mastered such spells.
At this time, under the leadership of the black-robed youth, Rhodes came to the ashram at the rear, and there was another necromancer inside the ashram.
After a brief conversation, the necromancer took out two pieces of parchment with spells from the side and asked Rhodes to transcribe them in the ashram.
As the transcription progressed, Rod also got a hint from the system.
"By transcribing the spell scroll, you learned the second-order spell [Eye of Perspective] and the third-order spell [Cloud of Death]."
"[Perspective Eye Lv1]: Second-order qi magic. Consumes 10 mana to scout a creature and learn about its 1 special skill and 1 highest stat. Experience required to level up: 100. ”
"[Cloud of Death Lv1]: Third-order earth magic, special magic. Consumes 20 mana to unleash a cloud of death to ravage enemies, the concentration of which is based on the level of spiritualism. It cannot be promoted by conventional means. ”
After mastering these two methods, Rod's mission on this trip can be regarded as complete.
Since the Cloud of Death deals damage based on the level of spiritualism, under the effect of Rhodes' legendary spiritualism, this skill can work wonders, although the Cloud of Death is only a third-order spell, but under the effect of Rhode, it is not weaker than the ordinary fourth-order spell at all.
After obtaining the spell he needed, Rhodes no longer waited, but prepared to get up and leave.
After walking out of the ashram, Rhodes returned along the road and came to the position where the black-robed young man had been before.
Here, the two slaves were quickly counting the gold coins on the ground, and even if they didn't know the exact amount of gold coins, if Rhodes wanted to leave directly, no one would dare to come up and stop Rhodes.
Instead of caring about the slaves on the ground, Rhodes planned to leave directly.
Just as Rhodes passed by the position of the black-robed youth, the behavior of the black-robed young man attracted Rod's attention.
In Rod's sight, there was also a large pile of gold coins in front of the black-robed young man, and he was moving his hands quickly, and his mouth was constantly moving, as if he was carefully counting the number of gold coins in front of him.
This behavior of the black-robed young man seemed extremely reasonable, but it made Rod pay more attention to him.
Rhodes knew that in the process of trading, the counting of gold coins was done by slaves, similar to the necromancer who was in charge of spell trading like the black-robed youth, from the identity of the necromancer, he would not do such a thing at all.
For necromancers, a slave's life is worth nothing, and a slave is not even worth as much as a transformed skeleton.
Many necromancers will even take the initiative to buy the lowest slaves from the freelance chamber of commerce to transform undead creatures.
Even so, there are still a lot of coolies that necromancers don't want to spend time doing, waiting for these slaves to finish it. Something like counting gold coins is a completely meaningless act that no necromancer wants to do on its own initiative.
Under normal trading conditions, the black-robed youth would probably only sit on the sidelines and wait for the slaves to report the results of the gold coins, instead of counting the gold coins here with these slaves.
Rhodes noticed this, and also remembered the anomaly the necromancer had shown when he had entered.
Rod recalled that it seemed that when he first came to the Magic Guild, the necromancer in charge of spell selection was the black-robed young man in front of him.
Rhodes knew that the black-robed young man was obviously covering up something, and he didn't want to let himself find out, he just wanted to ignore it through this act of counting gold coins.
If it was an ordinary person, he might just ignore the black-robed young man, but Rod discovered this through careful observation.
At this time, Rhodes stopped moving forward and walked in the direction of the black-robed young man instead.
As if discovering this, the black-robed young man did not stop counting the gold coins, but instead accelerated the movements of his hands, only from his tightly knit brows and slightly trembling facial muscles, revealing his uncalm heart at this time.
Rhodes came to the black-robed young man, the black-robed young man's hand trembled, and a gold coin smashed on top of the rest of the gold coins, making a crisp sound.
Before Rod could speak, the black-robed young man raised his head that had been bowing down as if he had just noticed Rod in front of him, and said to Rhodes:
"Mighty necromancer, do you need any more spells?"
Looking at the black-robed young man in front of him, Rhodes didn't say much, just stared at him like this.
Through perception, Rod was able to understand that the black-robed young man in front of him, his spiritualism should have only just reached the expert level, and the corresponding strength should be around the fourth order.
The black-robed young man could also feel the death energy that Rhodes possessed. The extremely pure death energy made the black-robed young man obviously understand the gap between the two, so he didn't dare to make any moves for a while.
With the deterrence of death energy alone, Rhodes completely suppressed the black-robed youth in front of him.
Looking at Rod's indifferent eyes, a sense of fear rose from the heart of the black-robed young man.
After a long time, even the slaves in the rear counted more than half of the gold coins, and the ears of the black-robed young man finally came from Rod's words.
"Tell me what you've done."
