Chapter 111: Suspicion
Iver also understood this, and during such a period, the relationship between dwarves and ordinary humans can be imagined, so he quickly left the area where the dwarves lived with Rhodes.
After continuing through the village for a while, Rhodes came to a position not far from the village entrance. From afar, Rhodes saw a large expanse of tall stone walls and several watchtowers around it.
Rod looked closely, and there were many wooden blocks mixed in the stone wall in front of him. These stone walls form an excellent barrier against the attacks of undead creatures. Ordinary necromancers are unable to carry large siege equipment, and can only attack from the gate in the face of the stone wall.
At this time, Rhodes saw that a large number of dwarves had gathered here. Due to the fact that it was daytime, the dwarves were obviously not particularly careful in their defenses, and Rhodes could even hear the dwarves' loud laughter coming from far away.
Dwarves are not destined by nature to scout their surroundings like elves. For the dwarves, instead of wasting time in the scout, it is better to take this opportunity to do something interesting.
Whether it's small talk between a few people or other ways to kill time, the dwarves certainly won't let themselves get bored during the scouting process.
Dwarves are naturally good wines, whether they are coarse ales or aged wines, which can arouse the interest of dwarves.
Compared to the dwarves they had seen before, the dwarves here did not drink during reconnaissance, perhaps this was the only fighting consciousness they had left.
At this point, Ivor said to Rhodes, "As you can see, this is the defense against the undead creatures, and with these facilities, we have successfully resisted the attacks of the undead creatures several times. ”
After reading it, Rod nodded thoughtfully.
From the information he received at the beginning of the mission, Rhodes knew that these dwarves had more than just these stone walls.
When the battle is time, the dwarven villages will help each other, and once the battle is deadlocked, the necromancer who has no backup will be besieged by the dwarves who rush in.
With these rudimentary defenses around them, the dwarves were able to hold off the same number of undead creatures for a long time. By the time the dwarves from the other two villages arrived, the necromancer had to retreat after losing a large number of undead creatures.
Rhodes looked around, then turned to Ivor and asked, "Are these dwarves like this?" I mean, they're a lot worse than they were when you were defending yesterday, right? ”
After hearing this, Iver could only smile bitterly: "The nature of dwarves is like this, and we can only try to help them." Besides, you can let the dwarves hear it, or you might get into some trouble. ”
Rod shook his head and didn't continue to ask.
After a moment's pause, Iver led Rod to the next position.
After inspecting the buildings in front of the village, Ivor eventually led Rhodes to the edge of the village, where the refugees were housed.
As he passed through the village, Rhodes carefully examined the buildings he passed along the way, paying particular attention to possible dwarven vaults, but found nothing.
Lot knew that the location of the dwarven vault should be in the dwelling of the dwarves, but Rhodes did not have the right opportunity to go in and observe.
At this time, in Rod's sight, a large number of ordinary people appeared. Although the dwarven villages received these refugees and provided some protection to them, they did not otherwise treat them with any preferential treatment.
The places used to house the refugees were not large, and the number of dwellings here was significantly smaller than what Rhodes had seen along the way, and there were more refugees in each dwelling.
Although there is still a lot of space in the village, there is only so little place that the dwarves are willing to cargo.
The dwarves apparently did not pay attention to the standard of living of these refugees, and according to the ordinary dwarves, the village had already provided a safe place for ordinary people, who were not entitled to ask for anything more.
Compared to the dwarves who covet their own pleasure, the attitude of the elves is obviously much better.
In the vicinity of these refugee settlements, many elves are placating them, and whatever the refugees confide in these elves, the elves will respond.
Rhodes even saw several elves playing a special instrument to make the refugees forget the horrors of necromancers.
Rhodes noticed that the elven mage who checked his mana value yesterday was doing the same thing.
At this time, looking at the scene in front of him, Rod let out a sigh. Iver on the side heard this sigh, thinking that Rod was affectionate and thought of his own experience, and did not speak again for a while.
After a moment of silence, Iver turned to Rhodes and asked, "How are you recovering from your injuries?" ”
Rod replied, "It's much better." I've received a healing spell, and my injuries are no longer serious. In a few days, it will be fully recovered. ”
After hearing this, Iver nodded and said to Rhodes: "I see that your swordsmanship is very good, and when you recover from your injuries, don't forget to compete with me in terms of swordsmanship." ”
Rod smiled and said, "Definitely." ”
After familiarizing Rhodes with the environment inside the village, Ive's mission was completed, and after telling Rhodes again not to approach the dwarf's position, he said goodbye to Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes was able to move around the village on his own, but Rhodes did not stay here for long, but returned to his original residence the way he came.
After Rhodes left, Iver continued to look around a few times before planning to leave as well.
Among these refugees, the elven mage who had been playing the instrument had obviously noticed the arrival of Ivor and Rhodes, and when he saw that Ivor was about to leave, he hurriedly got up, and after explaining a few words to the rest of the elves around him, he quickly came to Iver's side.
The elven mage said a few words to Ive, but Ivor shook his head, obviously not believing what the elven mage said.
The elven mage had been emphasizing to Ivor that during yesterday's investigation, he had sensed an unusual aura from Rhodes, and this aura was probably related to the necromancer.
However, through his previous contact with Rhodes and the swordsmanship that Rhodes had shown before, Ivor had already had his own expectations in his heart, so he could only explain to the elven mage.
Hearing Ive's explanation, there was a hint of anger on the elven mage's face, and he turned around and left directly, not even bringing the musical instrument that was placed in place, but returned directly in the direction of the wooden house.
To this, Iver could only smile bitterly.
