Two days later, in front of a tall fortress, the centaur leader stopped his tracks.

After two days of teaching, Rhodes had taught Rowling simple meditation. Compared to the time it took Rhodes to enter meditation for the first time, Rowling was clearly more gifted in this area.

Under Rod's guidance, Rowling was in a meditative state almost instantly, and her state was very stable, without the mistake of not being able to concentrate as common for beginners in meditation.

In the process of the first meditation, Rhodes relied on the experience of meditation in his previous life to proofread his own state from time to time, so as to maintain it, but Rowling did not need this step at all, and simply completed the first meditation.

Since Rowling had read the magic book beforehand, she was able to unleash a simple magic arrow as soon as she completed her deep meditation.

After discovering this, Rod couldn't help but sigh that the natural hero was powerful, if Rod didn't have the blessing of the system, purely from the talent, he would be much worse than the hero.

After these two days of study, Rowling has mastered all the spells in the court mage's magic book, and under Rod's unreserved teaching, it can be said that as long as it is the spell that Rod's mastery, Rowling has mastered all of them at this time.

Now Rowling, mainly learning the knowledge recorded in the previous spell book.

In the process of learning, Rhodes learned from her the reason why she was reluctant to learn spiritualism. Rhodes couldn't convince her for a while, so he could only let her learn special skills related to spells.

After two days of running, Rod took Rowling to the front of a castle. In Rhodes' perception, a component of the artifact Titan Arrow was at the center of the city.

According to the map originally obtained from Tro in the Windy City, Rhodes judged that the city here should be called Valen.

After learning this, Rod asked the ghost dragon to hide in the sky with the vampire, so as not to expose his body and cause unnecessary trouble. At this distance, no creature would find the ghost dragon unless Rhodes wanted to.

And Rhodes took Rowling and went to the bottom of Valen City to reconnoitre.

Unlike any city Rhodes had ever visited, Rhodes had just approached Valen City when he noticed an anomaly.

Rhodes remembered that at the gates of the City of Sorrows, there were special guards to detect and prohibit undead creatures from entering the city, of course, this could only limit low-level necromancers, and necromancers with a little strength could directly ignore the guards at the city gates.

But in front of the gates of Valen, Rhodes did not see any guards presence, as if anyone could enter at will.

Upon discovering this, Rhodes did not have any fear, but simply stepped down from the centaur leader.

Rod's move was to deal with a sudden battle that might occur at any time, and Rowling was still riding on the centaur leader and moving forward with the centaur leader.

Rhodes knew that although Rowling had mastered a large number of spells, how to fight and how to deal with enemies still needed to be learned.

The awareness of battle is not something that can be acquired overnight, and even if Rowling has the identity of a hero, without training, the real combat ability will not be much stronger.

In the process of searching for artifact parts, even if it is just watching Rhodes fight, the powerful learning ability brought by the natural hero can also allow Rowling to improve her combat awareness.

As Rhodes and his party walked into the city, Rhodes noticed that there were no creatures on the streets he passed.

However, in Rod's perception, the real situation in this city is not what he has seen so far.

Rod could clearly perceive a large number of peeping glances coming from the houses around the street.

Like Rod, the Centaur Leader felt this too, even more so than Rod's.

Perhaps the only thing I didn't notice was Rowling on the Centaur Leader. Once in the city, Rowling kept looking around, as if trying to discover something new.

Following the perception of one of the gazes, Rhodes looked in this direction.

Rod's gaze stretched all the way to one of the houses. Through the cracks around the house, Rhodes saw one of the eyes.

What made Rhodes care was that there was no malice in these eyes, on the contrary, it was more of a worry and fear.

As if noticing Rod's gaze, the eyes in the house suddenly disappeared, and he didn't dare to look at Rhodes at all.

This discovery couldn't help but give Rod some ideas, but Rod didn't express it.

Sensing that there was any danger around him, Rhodes no longer paid attention to these sights around him, but quickly walked towards the direction of the artifact parts.

Along the way, the road is lined with this line of sight. Through these sights, it was obvious to Rhodes that there were a large number of inhabitants in the city, not undead creatures.

This gave Rod an extremely strange feeling. Although there were a large number of inhabitants in the city of Valen, they did not see a single person on the streets along the way.

Rhodes did not feel the existence of any death energy from Valen City, and the location in the center of the town was the only place where the death energy gathered. The whole city of Valen gave Rhodes an extremely desolate feeling, just like the town where he had stayed in the past.

Rhodes knew that there should be some secrets in this city that he didn't know, but Rhodes didn't care, he just cared about the information about the artifact parts.

Unlike Rod, who didn't care about what was happening around him, Rowling was clearly curious about everything around her.

Rowling was placed under house arrest by the merchant group for several months, and although she was always accompanied by Ina during this period, she couldn't suppress Rowling's yearning for freedom, which also began to show after being taken out by Rhodes.

After coming to Valen, although in Rod's eyes, there was only a large area of desolate houses around, which was not worth paying more attention to, but for Rowling, it was also a very novel scene.

As she passed through one of the open windows, Rowling seemed to hear a faint sound.

Although still on the Centaur leader, Rowling didn't contain her curiosity and looked out the window.

Through the dim light of the window, Rowling saw the interior of the room.

At this time, Rhodes, who was walking in front, heard a piercing scream.

Rhodes instantly turned around and saw Rowling's body tilted to the side, if it wasn't for the centaur leader directly backhanding her to hold her, maybe she would have fallen from the centaur leader to the ground.
