Chapter XXXIII: The Silver Seal I

As early as the game in his previous life, Rhodes deeply understood that intelligence played a vital role. Whether it is business or combat, there needs to be sufficient intelligence support before finalizing a plan.

Perhaps it is the impact of the Thieves' Guild selling intelligence, but everyone in the game understands that intelligence is valuable in itself and cannot be obtained in a vacuum.

If you want to get information, you either have to spend time and energy investigating it yourself, or you can spend gold and buy it from someone who knows it.

Of course, with the exception of the Thieves' Guild, the rest of the people are selling information that is not necessarily correct, and it is more likely that it is completely wrong, but it is more or less mixed with some useful information.

If Rhodes is unwilling to pay gold for the information, he will definitely not be able to get this information from the maid, and can only get some basic information.

After accepting Rod's gold coins, the maid gave the internal information of the Chamber of Commerce, which undoubtedly gave Rod an intuitive understanding of the strength of this merchant group at this time.

Not long after, led by the maid, Rhodes and the vampire arrived at the Silver Seal Chamber of Commerce's residence, and the maid stepped forward first, exchanged a few words with the guards stationed outside the caravan, and then turned to leave.

After the maid left, since they already knew about Rod's intentions, the guards led Rod's way to the interior of the station.

As he walked through the station, Rhodes observed the situation inside the station.

Inside the station, most of the members were busy, placing goods on the spare wagons.

At a glance, Rhodes saw that most of the goods were sealed in wooden boxes, and he couldn't see what was inside. The members of the Chamber of Commerce were struggling to transport the wooden box, and Rod listened attentively, and could hear the sound of iron colliding inside the wooden box.

On the side, several overseers-looking people also noticed Rod's arrival, but they didn't say anything, just looked at the guards leading Rod's in front of them, still carrying out their work.

While Rhodes was observing his surroundings, the guards led Rhodes to the largest tent in the station.

The guard asked Rod to wait outside the tent, entered the tent and reported a few words, and then walked out and motioned for Rod to enter.

Rhodes led the vampire into the tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Rod keenly sensed that something was wrong. It's not that Rhodes has a sense of danger, but the aura around him makes Rhodes feel very familiar.

The vampire felt the same way, and began to feel a little restless, and Rhodes calmed it down with a spirit imprint, and then observed the environment inside the camp.

There are some miscellaneous items in the tent, and the whole is quite tidy. Perhaps not because of the residency, there were no tables in the tent, just a few chairs.

At this moment, a man was sitting on a chair facing the entrance to the tent, and Rhodes looked at him.

This man was dressed in a cloth robe, but the cloth clothes could not hide his burly figure, his face was resolute, and the scars carved by several sharp weapons on his face were telling the deeds of the past. The whole person exudes a momentum outward all the time.

Rhodes knew that, according to the information provided by the maid, this person should be the head of the merchant group, Yusher.

The head of the regiment in the maid's mouth has the strength of a senior warrior, and according to Rod's understanding, the corresponding rank should be at the third order. A high-level warrior is equivalent to a full-fledged mage, corresponding to the fourth order.

Looking at Rhodes who had entered the camp, the regiment commander in front of him motioned for Rhodes to sit down on the chair next to him.

After Rhodes took his seat, the head of the group took the lead in saying to Rhodes: "I am the head of the Silver Seal Merchant Regiment, the purpose of Your Excellency's coming here has been told by the previous guards, I want to become a traveler and follow the merchant group to the City of Sorrow, right?" ”

Seeing Rhodes nodding, Yusher continued, "You should have learned that apart from our own merchant group, not many merchant groups have been going to the City of Sorrow recently, right?" ”

Rod continued to nod, and Yusher added, "So, you two are both necromancers, right?" ”

Rhodes didn't plan to hide his identity as a necromancer, and it was better to let the other party know in the first place than to be discovered by the spellcaster halfway. It's just that Rhodes had some doubts in his heart, whether it was the veteran at the door or the head of the merchant group at this time, he could see his identity as a necromancer at a glance without the detection of mana, so he asked:

"How did you tell that we were necromancers, and that we should be dressed like thieves based on our appearances alone."

Uther laughed: "Hood and hem." ”

Without waiting for Rhodes to continue asking, Yusher continued: "Although the thieves also wear black robes, for the convenience of fighting, the hem only reaches the front of the knee at most, unlike your black robe, which almost drags down to the instep. ”

"In the case of hoods, thieves rely more on masks to conceal their identities, and do not particularly rely on hoods. The hood behind the necromancer's robe is even wider, and this style of black robe will not be sold in other places except for Deya. This can be observed empirically alone. ”

"What's more, there is an aura in you...... Not for thieves. Considering all these circumstances, isn't your identity as a necromancer about to be revealed? ”

Rhodes was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that a black robe alone would hide this information in it. Since he was not a necromancer in his previous life, his previous game experience did not allow Rhodes to pay attention to these details.

The gaming experience of the previous life also does not cover all the knowledge in the game. This undoubtedly reminded Rhodes that if he paid attention to the difference in the black robe, he might not have been able to observe it, but he relied too much on the experience of his previous life and neglected these details.

What Rod didn't expect was that he was just asking tentatively, and he thought that Yusher would fool around at will, but he would actually say all this information.

Even if it's just the information that comes from experience, it's still extremely valuable to those who don't know.

Rhodes knew that the reason why Yuser had told the news was either that he wanted to overpower himself in order to increase the cost of his travel, or that he was a person who didn't care about these details.

However, to be able to achieve the position of the head of the merchant group, Rod did not believe that he would be a person who would tell information at will, and the purpose of doing so could only be to increase the cost of travel.

Seeing that Rhodes seemed to be thinking about something, Yusher continued, "Although I often deal with necromancers, my subordinates may not accept it. The two necromancers wanted to go to Diya as travelers, and it was a little suspicious to think about it, so ......"

Uther didn't continue to speak, but looked at Rhodes, waiting for his answer.

Rod understood that if he didn't say something, the caravan wouldn't bring him with him unless he paid a hefty price.
