Chapter 931: Inquiry
Not only in the later part of the second expansion in his previous life, but even in the game, Rhodes also felt the existence of this aurora in a unique way, that is, in the previous inheritance mission.
Recalling the aurora that even the body of the Titan Giant could not withstand in the inheritance mission, Rod naturally had a very deep impression of such an aurora.
After having the Cloak of the Ghost King, the last thing Rhodes wanted was to repeat the mistakes of Sandru, so that the battle would eventually fail because of the appearance of the Aurora, for which Rhodes had to make certain preparations in advance.
It's just that even now, Rhodes hasn't come up with any means to resist this aurora. The power of the artifact is far from being measurable by common sense, and in Rhodes' opinion, even if he uses a real forbidden magic orb, he may not be able to have any effect on this aurora.
The scene in his memory made Rhodes clearly realize that the appearance of this aurora can penetrate everything and directly act on the body of the creature, even if he wears heavy armor to avoid direct exposure to the aurora, it cannot bring any defensive effect.
Even the body of the Titan Giant, which is extremely strong and whose comprehensive strength is not much higher than his own, is still unable to resist the erosion of this aurora, and Rhodes is even more unsure of how to deal with it.
In Rhodes' opinion, the existence of this aurora is an important matter that may lead to his own failure, and in addition, even a true legendary mage will find it difficult to completely eliminate this large number of corpse witch kings.
Out of his own considerations, in order to avoid this situation from happening, Rhodes's plan in the upcoming campaign is to attack other forces while avoiding the Erathian forces.
Rhodes didn't know if his move would delay the angel's time to join the battlefield, but it would be better than directly clashing with the forces of Erathia.
This decision may slow down Rhodes' ability to gain experience points, and without the large number of low-level creatures in Erathia that can be transformed into the Corpse Witch King, the necromancer's ability to obtain the Corpse Witch King will be severely slowed down, and even affect the progress of the entire expansion.
It's just that Rhodes, who understands the extremely unstable factors in his previous life, still makes such a plan.
Aside from the angels in Cloudsdale, the ordinary creatures of Erathia were not too threatening in Rhodes' opinion.
Rhodes believed that under the transformation of the artifact into the Corpse Witch King, even the most powerful knights would not be afraid, and would only fall under the influence of the cloud of death in the end.
Without the existence of those angels, compared to other forces, Erathia's ordinary creatures are the most existential, and in the second expansion of the previous life, the endless corpse witches are mostly from this.
Looking at Elon, who had just sworn allegiance to himself, Rhodes seemed to think of something, and asked, "I heard that you used to be in Erathia, you have the status of a nobleman, and you have your own territory, how is the situation now?" ”
Rod's inquiry undoubtedly reminded Elon of some scenes in his memory, and Elon replied helplessly: "My father once followed the previous Griffonheart King to fight, and although he did not make great achievements, he still received a fief as a reward after he was old and infirm. ”
"My father always wanted me to become a knight, but I didn't, and we haven't been in touch for years since I insisted on coming to Bracada to study spells."
Elon's words undoubtedly made Rod realize some information, and immediately asked, "In other words, don't you even know if he is still alive or not?" ”
Elon sneered, "I'll still get some information about him through the Thieves' Guild, he should be alive now." ”
Elon's seemingly uncertain words also made Rod dispel the idea of using Elon's identity to contact the forces of Erathia in advance, which would have the opposite effect.
Without further thinking about Erathia, Rhodes changed the subject and asked, "You should have been in Ao City for a while, what do you think about the current situation in the city?" ”
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Elon didn't give his own answer at the first time, and instead turned his gaze to Rod, looking a little hesitant.
"Say whatever you want, I don't have any ideas about it."
Rhodes's words sounded in his ears again, and at this time, Elon no longer waited, but said with a straight face: "Dare to ask the lord, is your ambition just to become the lord of this place?" ”
Rod was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Elon replied: "The current lord of the city, in the case of the construction of infrastructure, has focused his main development efforts on the construction of fortifications. ”
"If you are really surrounded by strong enemies, and you may face an incoming enemy at any time, then this choice is undoubtedly suitable, but in the case of high-level mages pressing the formation, it doesn't have to be so."
As he spoke, Elon looked at Rowling on the side, obviously in his heart, he had already regarded Rowling, who could cast fifth-order spells, as a real high-level mage.
"When I see the lord, the ambition in my heart seems to be not satisfied with becoming a lord of a land, but has a higher goal, and the actions of the city lord at this time have undoubtedly limited the development of Ao City."
"Surrounded by many fortifications, the size of Ao City has long been limited by the outer walls and trenches, and the special environment of the City of the Dead also determines that the surrounding area outside the city cannot be cultivated as cultivated land. These things severely limited the size of the city of Saw. ”
When it comes to town building, it is undoubtedly what Elon is good at, and his experience in Silvercliff City, including the knowledge he has in the territory, has also given Elon a deeper understanding of these things.
During the time he came to the city to wait for Rod, Elon had never heard of anyone mentioning the name of the city, and it was only now that he learned from Rhodes that this place was called Ao City, so he followed Rod's words and called it Sail City as well.
Seeing that Elon showed a completely different side from the original, Rod couldn't help but nod secretly and asked, "In your opinion, the fortifications should be torn down and rebuilt, so as to expand the scale of Ao City?" ”
Elon shook his head and replied, "If I were to deal with it, I wouldn't waste these fortifications, but use them as a boundary to divide the inner city from the outer city. ”
"At the same time, since the lord has great ambitions, the castle lord's mansion of average size is undoubtedly no longer suitable, and it should be expanded into a castle with a wider range of purposes for the lord and his important subordinates to live in, just like a full-fledged city-state."
