In Rod's perception, this city lord also hides a large part of his strength, and his real strength will not be weaker than the court mage he originally saw.

Even so, the city lord still did not resist and took the initiative to hand over the treasure to Rod, as if the shield in Rod's hand was not an artifact part, just an ordinary treasure.

Although Rhodes was very surprised by the city lord's approach, he did not express it. After getting the shield, Rhodes continued to talk to the city lord for a few more words, and then left to the rear.

At this time, Rod's eyes were also on the shield in his hand.

…………

…………

Even though it's just one of the artifact's parts, this shield is still very powerful. Rhodes knew that if all the artifact parts could be collected, the Titan Arrow would reveal its true purpose.

With the Patronus Aegis included in the space ring, Rhodes' collection of artifacts this time is also complete. In Rod's perception, the remaining parts of the artifact were located extremely far away from him, and could not be collected for the time being.

Through the location hint in the spirit imprint, Rhodes quickly walked towards Rowling's location.

At this point, as if sensing the message from the centaur leader and the vampire, Rhodes noticed that on Rowling's side, there must have been a battle, but there were no losses.

Unclear about the situation, Rhodes quickly walked towards Rowling's place.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to walk out of the inner city gate and come to the streets of the outer city, and through the perception from the spiritual imprint, Rod knew that Rowling and his party should stay here and wait.

After the battle, in order to ensure Rowling's safety, and Rod also got the Patronus Shield he needed at this time, he did not let Rowling continue to advance, but stayed here and waited for Rode's arrival.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to come to Rowling's party. Rhodes noticed that many of the surrounding houses had collapsed, and there were still signs of a large number of creatures leaving, and it was clear that the battle was not as simple as he thought.

looked at Rowling in front of her, and before Rod could ask, Rowling said to Rod first:

"Rod, can you help me kill someone?"

Hearing Rowling's question, Rhodes was a little surprised, he didn't expect Rowling to make such a request.

Through this period of contact, Rod can be regarded as fully understanding Rowling's character. In Rod's opinion, Rowling is still somewhat kind, and it is hard to imagine that Rowling will ask herself to kill someone.

Rod asked, "Who do you want me to kill for you?" ”

"A necromancer named Sepp, he should have a lot of status in the city."

Hearing Sepp's name, Rod immediately knew who Rowling was referring to, but Rod didn't understand why she did it.

In the process of obtaining the treasure, through the concentration of death energy on Sepp's body and the strength he showed, Rod clearly knew that he was not a fake.

Rhodes wanted to know when Sepp's real body had been talking to him in the city, and when he had provoked Rowling.

Seeing that Rod did not reply, but looked at herself, Rowling explained: "I learned from a hero that the creature that lives in the outer city, the kind of creature that scared me at the beginning, is actually transformed from ordinary people. ”

"Originally, these ordinary people, after being drained of the life force in their bodies, became like this, and they could only stay in the city and wait for death. And all of this was done by Sepp. ”

After speaking, as if thinking of something, there was obvious anger on Rowling's face. Rowling knew that if Rhodes agreed, she would be able to fulfill that promise, kill Sepp, and free the people in the city.

After learning Rowling's reason, Rod's face was obviously a little disappointed, but he still replied: "If it's just for this reason, I'll forgive you for refusing." ”

After Rod refused, Rowling looked extremely puzzled, obviously did not expect Rod to refuse herself, and immediately asked: "Rode, don't you want to rescue these people in the city?" ”

Rod replied lightly: "It doesn't make sense." These creatures are so weak that they don't even qualify to be undead creatures, and I don't need their allegiance. The present time is also not suitable for fighting here. ”

"For what reason do you want to save them? Is it just because of the mercy of the heart? Or is it that saving them will improve your own strength? ”

After listening to Rod's words, Rowling was a little silent for a while, not knowing how to answer, and in the end she could only tell everything to Rod and Pan:

"Earlier, a hero told me all this, which is the origin of these creatures. I promised that hero that I would kill the necromancer Sepp for him......"

Before Rowling could finish speaking, Rhodes immediately interrupted: "If it's just this level of commitment, you don't need to keep it. ”

As if thinking of something, Rhodes continued:

"Commitments are also divided into categories, and if they are promises to others, they need to be paid accordingly. Just as you promise to kill the necromancer for him, then he also needs to provide you with an equivalent reward, not just a few words of information. ”

"This kind of commitment is only linked by interests. If you don't think you're being paid for it, you can do it at any time. You just take that promise, which didn't exist from the beginning. ”

After listening to Rod's words, Rowling was stunned for a moment. Obviously, because of Rod's identity, what he said had a greater impact on Rowling.

With that, the centaur leader leaned down, and Rhodes motioned to Rowling to leave. At this time, Rod suddenly noticed Rowling's eyes.

Rowling didn't move, just standing still. At this time, Rowling's eyes were red again, and she looked extremely aggrieved, just looking at Rod.

Realizing Rowling's state at this time, Rhodes knew that maybe he was too her, maybe he shouldn't easily deny her promises, and he shouldn't impose his own experience on her.

In this regard, Rhodes could only let out a long sigh.

"These are just my opinions, if you think that this promise is really important, and if you don't fulfill it, you will not be happy, then this promise is no longer your promise to others, but your promise to yourself, you should try to fulfill it. If you can't do it, I'll do it for you. ”

In the sky, the figure of the ghost dragon appeared, and it seemed that as soon as Rhodes gave the order, it would immediately spit out the breath of the Nether Dragon and attack the city of Valen.
