In Eli's vision, when Rhodes achieves this ranking, he will definitely use this position to increase his influence.

In itself, according to Eli's thoughts, whether it is the strength that Rhodes showed in the process of refining potions, or the way he deliberately concealed his identity as a necromancer, it can explain a great problem.

Eli knew that when one of the necromancers revealed his identity, Rhodes, who won the Potions competition, would do the same.

According to the death energy that he felt from Rhodes in advance, among the necromancers, Rhodes, who has this kind of death energy, must have an unusual identity. Eli was confident that no matter how much Rhodes tried to defend the necromancer, he would be able to find a problem and refute it.

After all, the extremely pure death energy that he felt from Rod, as well as the vague feeling that Rhodes brought to Eli, proved to Eli what kind of existence Rhodes was among the necromancers.

Eli led the conversation to Rhodes because he discovered this and wanted to use this opportunity to expose Rhodes so that he could refute the arguments made by the necromancer earlier.

However, Rod's answer was beyond Eli's expectations, and Eli did not expect that even if he won the Potions Competition and could easily change the status quo of the necromancer, Rod's answer was to distinguish himself from the necromancer.

In this case, Eli originally thought of refuting Rod's words, but he couldn't say it for a while, so he could only think of other words to refute the necromancer who was ranked third.

At this time, although Rhodes in the field had already put on the original pendant and said those words used to show his position, Rhodes's current situation has not changed much.

When the surrounding mages learned of Rod's identity, although many mages were confused by the words of the third-ranked necromancer, and thus had some new views on the necromancer, there were still many mages who still maintained hostility towards the necromancer, and even hatred from the bottom of their hearts.

Of all the mages, such mages were in the minority, but they still existed, and Rod could clearly feel this from the sight that came from his surroundings.

In Rod's perception, the hatred of some mages around him seems to come from not only his identity as a necromancer, but also his ranking in the Potions competition.

When Rod's identity was pointed out by Eli, and Rhodes removed the pendant that concealed his identity, Rhodes was able to perceive a noticeable change in the gaze of the mages around him.

Many high-level mages couldn't accept this result for a while. When they learned that it was a necromancer who won the potions competition, they were offended by the necromancer.

Under normal circumstances, these high-level mages, although they have some dislike for necromancers, would not have risen to this level. From the eyes of these high-level mages, Rhodes realized that although he wanted to complete this potions competition as an ordinary mage, it was obviously difficult to achieve.

Because he was in the forbidden demon ceremony, even though many high-level mages on the entire airship noticed him, Rhodes did not show any nervousness.

On top of the airship, the existence of the Demon Forbidden Ritual undoubtedly restricts the play of all mages. Compared to the other spaces in the take-off boat, this high platform where the Demon Forbidden Ritual exists may be the safest place.

This is also the reason why Rhodes was able to remain calm after taking the initiative to reveal his identity as a necromancer.

The existence of the forbidden ritual may have been intended to prevent the loss of potions, or any accidents on this high platform.

Even if the airship is full of powerful high-level mages, in the absence of a forbidden ritual, no one can guarantee that if something unexpected happens, the precious potions refined by these players will not be lost.

The potions refined in the finals are undoubtedly a great fortune, and many of the players who refine the potions have collected a large number of precious materials and brought them to the airship for refining, if it weren't for the finals this time, maybe they wouldn't have used these rare materials for refining.

Any mage who participates in potions competitions understands the value of these potions, so they have no objections to the arrangement of the forbidden ritual. It is precisely because of the existence of the forbidden demon ritual that the necromancer in it has given some confidence.

For Rod, being able to stay calm all the time has something to do with the existence of the forbidden ritual, but it's not all the same.

Before coming here, Rhodes also made a lot of preparations. Although Rhodes did not know that the final would be held on an airship before the finals began, Rhodes was still fully prepared for his own safety, and now, the preparations made before can come in handy.

In Rod's perception, since each high-level mage has a different attitude towards necromancers, they also have different opinions about themselves.

Even those mages who were extremely disgusted with necromancers were completely different in their hostility towards Rhodes. In Rhodes' perception, one of the mages with the highest degree of hostility towards him seemed to be on the platform on which the forbidden ritual was located.

Although the existence of the forbidden ritual limited Rhodes' ability to use magic, it did not limit Rhodes' ability to perceive, whether it was the ability to perceive the fluctuations of mana around him, or this ability to perceive hostility.

Following the direction of his perception, Rhodes looked in the direction of the mage with whom he was most hostile.

When Rhodes followed the direction from which the hostility was coming and saw the mage's face clearly, he was undoubtedly a little surprised. Rhodes discovers that the mage, who is extremely hostile to him, is actually the second mage in the potions competition.

After Eric's introduction earlier, Rhodes immediately realized that the identity of this mage should be the dean of a certain magic academy, North.

What puzzled Rhodes was that the hostility that Northon generated seemed to have only appeared after he revealed his identity as a necromancer.

In the previous Potions competition, even when Eric announced the ranking of the players, Northson only finished second, and he did not have such hostility towards himself, which couldn't help but surprise Rod.
