"As for you......"

After realizing Rod's identity, Cathery's attitude changed significantly, and her eyes gradually cooled when she looked at the necromancer who caused all this.

"Because of your offense, the entire Shadow City has suffered such a loss, I think you should know in your heart what kind of punishment you will receive."

Caterry's indifferent words undoubtedly pronounced the end of the necromancer.

Seeing the existence he trusted the most before, he abandoned himself without hesitation, and a trace of despair appeared in the necromancer's eyes, and he trembled, coming out of his body, and muttering: "No......"

The power quickly dissipated from the necromancer's body, along with the things that had always supported him, and even lost the strength to continue standing, and he fell to his knees and cried out to his king: "Your Majesty, forgive me for my mistakes, I am willing to pay for it." ”

Caterry's expression did not change in any way because of the necromancer's words, and after realizing Rod's identity, at this time, he had already blamed this necromancer for all the losses suffered by the Shadow City.

Seeing that Cathery didn't mean to reply, the necromancer crawled towards Rhodes on his knees, begging for mercy: "Great necromancer, I don't know your identity, please forgive me for my offense." ”

Rod also didn't mean to reply, just looked at the person in front of him indifferently.

Before the necromancer could say anything more, a cloud of death enveloped his body, and a heart-rending cry came from it, for the necromancer, the erosion of his body was far less desperate than that of Caterry's unhesitating abandonment.

Unlike the pitch-black cloud of death released by Rod, the dark green cloud of death in front of him was naturally not released by Rod.

The shroud of the cloud of death did not last long, when the dark green cloud dissipated, the necromancer in it had stopped shouting, his body was full of traces of corrosion, although his chest was still slightly undulating, but only the last breath remained, and the whole person was not far from death.

"This necromancer who offended you, I will throw it into the skeleton transformation field, and the transformed undead creature will also be handed over to you as compensation for this offense."

Looking at Rhodes in front of him, Cathery spoke of the final punishment for the necromancer.

At this time, several skeleton warriors stepped forward, erected the necromancer's body, and led it to a certain location in the city, and the skeleton warrior's rough movements brought great pain to the necromancer's originally corroded body.

Feeling the remorse that appeared in his heart as the half-dead necromancer, and the despair of death, especially the collapse of faith in his heart, Rhodes knew that he had been punished enough.

It's just that the adequacy of the punishment is not something that Rhodes can decide, only the cause of this incident, that is, Leah, who was offended by the necromancer, can determine this.

In Rhodes' opinion, if it weren't for his own follow, even if Leah passed through the gate of time and space and came to the City of Shadows, I am afraid that she would not have a chance to see North, and she would die at the hands of other necromancers first, even if there was no hindrance from the original necromancer, there would be another necromancer, which were all problems that Leah could not face.

Since Leah herself has no rank and can only be regarded as an ordinary person with some special skills, in Rod's opinion, her choice to go to the City of Shadows can be said to be no different from looking for death.

Prior to this, Rhodes believed that Leah's death would be the best incentive for North, and even promote the generation of heroic will, but under the influence of Rowling, Rhodes changed his original mind and chose to personally lead Leah to meet North.

Under Rod's intervention, he naturally wouldn't let Leah die like this, and Rhodes would also help her deal with the necromancer's offense to Leah.

For Cathery's proposal, Rod did not answer immediately, but looked at Leah on the side: "How, are you satisfied with this punishment?" If you're not satisfied, there are other ways to convert. ”

Hearing Rod's words, Leah recovered from the shock and hurriedly said, "I'm already very satisfied...... But there's no need to transform undead creatures, right? I also don't have a spirit imprint to control it. ”

Hearing Leah's words, Rhodes nodded and replied briefly to Caterry, "You don't have to hand over the transformed undead creatures to me, you should keep them for yourself." ”

After dealing with the necromancer, at Caterry's invitation, Rhodes and Leah followed Caterry and his party to the palace of Dia.

Elsa, who appeared here through a space spell, did not leave first, but walked with the others, and it was also curious about the purpose of Rhodes's visit, in the eyes of this lich, Rhodes would not come to the Shadow City for a simple matter.

With Aisha following him, and realizing Rod's identity, Catheret did not choose to ride alone, the black steed he had ridden was slowly moving forward under the lead of the skeleton warriors, while he, as King Deya, was walking on the ground.

As he marched, there was a dead silence in the city, and no breath of any living creature came out, and all the creatures that had existed here fell under the cloud of death cast by Rhodes.

Feeling the clouds of death left nearby, even Aisha, who was a lich, couldn't help but look sideways at Rhodes, these clouds of death were basically the same as what it had felt in the territory of Modo before, and they were already considered the top clouds of death, even if it couldn't be released, it was used to deal with ordinary necromancers in the city, so naturally there was no suspense.

Seeing everything in the city, Aisha was silent for a while, even if it was a lich, it was rare for a lich to do such an act in Diya's territory.

During the journey, after learning Rod's name from Elsha's mouth, Cathery took the initiative to say to Rod: "The cause of this offense seems to be because of the arrival of a lady, Rod, can you introduce me to this beautiful lady next to me?" ”

As he spoke, Cathery's gaze remained fixed on Rod, as if trying to see his reaction.

Hearing Cathery's words, Rhodes just casually said to Leah, "King Diya wants to know your identity, please introduce yourself." ”

Leah nodded, and then introduced to Caterry: "My name is Leah Is, I used to work in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, and later served as a tax officer in Ao City, mainly responsible for tax matters, and I am still a subordinate of Lord Rhodes. ”

Leah's words made Rod look at her, and Rod didn't know much about her other matters except that she had a high level of financial management skills and her relationship with North.

Hearing Leah's answer, Cathery's expression changed faintly, and he asked Rhodes for Leah's information, naturally not for the information itself, but in the hope of getting closer to Rhodes by asking about this process.

In addition, through Rod's introduction to Leah, Cathery can also see the relationship between them more or less, and there are many other topics to talk about next.

Who would have thought that Rod did not answer Caterry's inquiry, but asked Leah to introduce himself personally, and in the process of Leah's introduction of himself, Rod also listened, and it seemed that he didn't even know before, which was seriously inconsistent with Caterry's expectations.

Changing the subject, Cathery continued to ask, "I wonder what the two of you came to the royal capital of Dya to deal with on this trip?" I believe that after the previous incident, many things in the city will change. ”

Although Cathery didn't say it explicitly, Rhodes was able to realize that the incident he mentioned was his own act of releasing the cloud of death, and as a large number of creatures died, the city would naturally change drastically.

"I'm here looking for someone." Rod replied simply.

From Rod's words, Cathery could roughly guess who the person he was looking for was, but asked as if he didn't know:

"Really? I don't know what kind of existence you can make you, who are the same as the lich, come to the Shadow City to find it yourself, maybe I've heard of his existence. ”

"You must have heard of his existence." Rhodes said affirmatively, while looking at Leah on the side, "He is the holder of the artifact, the real necromancer, North." ”

After hearing Rod's words, Catherry's expression became equally solemn, and there was something different in his gaze when he looked at Rod.

"It turned out to be him. North is now in the palace, and it is believed that he will be seen soon. ”

"It's just ......" seemed to remember something, and Caterry added, "His current state seems to be somewhat unfit for visitors, and Eisha the Immortal can testify to this." ”

"It's okay, it's okay for Rod to meet the current North, I believe he will have a new harvest." Seeing Cathery mention herself, Aisha took the initiative to speak.

From Catheret and Elsa's words, not only Rod, but even Leah on the side felt an unusual meaning.

"What happened to North?" Leah asked, with uncontrollable anxiety in her words.

Silently jotting this in her mind, Cathery shook her head, "You'll know when you see him." ”

After learning of the possible anomaly in North's body, Rhodes was about to ask Caterey about it, but he heard Elsa's voice come out first.

"There is an aura of familiarity on your body, if my perception is not wrong, it should be the aura of the secret law, and it is almost lost, and it belongs to the ...... of the lich alone."

“…… Aromatic secrets. ”

"You've mastered this secret method, haven't you?"

Elsa's inquiry sounded in his ears, and Rhodes seemed to sense something, and his eyes were fixed on the lich in front of him.
