Chapter 297: Revenant Crystal
Seeing that Rhodes seemed to understand the situation here, the village chief continued:
"Mage from afar, I would like to ask you, according to your knowledge, have you ever known about this kind of object?"
As he spoke, the village chief opened the sealed box in his hand slightly and handed it to Rod.
In the process, Rod noticed that there was a very familiar aura coming from the box, an ominous aura of death.
Rod opened the box completely and saw several black crystals inside, the surface of which was crystal clear, but it could not hide its essence. These crystals are the revenant crystals that Rhodes is familiar with.
For a while, due to the close distance, the death energy in Rhodes's body seemed to be attracted by the Revenant Crystal in the box. However, under Rhodes' suppression, the death energy eventually subsided, as if nothing had happened.
The fluctuation of death energy only happened for a moment, and the village chief in front of Rhodes did not feel the death energy in Rhodes' body at all, and only Rowling in the back seemed to notice something and glanced at Rhodes' position.
When he first discovered the Revenant Crystal in the box, some thoughts flashed through Rod's mind, the most important of which was whether his identity had been revealed, and what had gone wrong.
However, through his peeping eyes, Rhodes found that the village chief really had doubts in his heart, and wanted to understand what was in the box, rather than trying to test himself through the Revenant Crystal.
Realizing this, Rhodes knew that he might be overthinking.
Rhodes turned to the village chief and asked, "Where did you get these things?" ”
The village chief, who had been paying attention to Rod's reaction, saw Rod's expression and understood that Rhodes must have seen this crystal. After realizing that he had asked the right person, the village chief no longer concealed it, and told the story of discovering the Revenant Crystal in full:
"As you know, this village was built to mine minerals. When the village was first established, the mining process was smooth, and with the efforts of everyone, we were one of the best in the surrounding villages. ”
"However, not long ago, there were some abnormalities inside the mine, first of all, there were some things that I had never seen in the minerals mined, and later, even the inside of the mine had a bad impact, and all the people who died in a mining accident before were resurrected......
"Now, only by personally supervising the mine can I stabilize the others here and give them the courage to excavate......"
"When I escalated the situation, I didn't get any response. The only thing that has changed is that when you turn in these special ores, you will be rewarded a lot more. ”
"At the same time, after I handed over these ores for the first time, the collector who has been responsible for collecting the minerals from our village has also changed, and according to my experience of serving Elon, this time the collector should be his elite knights."
"I don't know why a knight of this level is specifically responsible for transporting minerals, but it is obviously related to this special ore."
"I don't dare ask this knight about the origin of the ore, and at the same time, the merchant group responsible for transporting the goods of the village has not appeared for a long time, let alone a mage who travels around like you."
"I know that you are the mages who came to Bracada to travel, not to gain my trust. I wonder if you were hindered by anything before you came here, and what exactly this thing was in the box. ”
"I know it's offensive to ask, but all I can offer is something you don't like."
After explaining everything, the village chief stopped talking, but waited for Rhodes' answer.
After listening to the village chief's words, Rhodes understood everything in the village and why he took out the Revenant Crystal.
Rhodes realizes that it was his lack of preparation that caused Rowling to be frozen all the time on the road, which made the village chief sure that he was not the person sent by Elon to deceive him into trusting, so the village chief told everything directly.
For this, Rod is also a little helpless. Although some mana is consumed, she can rely on water thaumaturgy to resist the cold, but due to the difference in physique, Rowling can't do it.
Rowling listened to all of the village chief's words, but instead of realizing it, she focused her attention on the revenant crystal in the box.
Rowling had seen Rhodes use Revenant Crystals to create Death Knights, and was impressed by them.
Remembering what Rhodes said to the ghost dragon, Rowling knew that her identity as a necromancer with her brother could not be revealed. Although she had an okay impression of the village chief, because of her experience of being deceived by heroes in Valen, Rowling didn't say anything, just wanted to hear Rod's answer.
After being silent for a long time, Rhodes closed the box in his hand, returned it to the village chief in front of him, and said:
"This is a Revenant Crystal that contains the energy of death, and it is an item used by necromancers. Inside Bracada, the Revenant Crystal is an absolute contraband. ”
"Only a handful of crystal mines can be accompanied by this kind of item, and you shouldn't report this to Elron."
After listening to Rod's answer, the village chief was unable to accept it for a while.
"You mean...... Is this an item used by necromancers? No wonder...... The corpses of the orcs will come back to life......"
The village chief's attention was completely different from Rod's, and when it was confirmed from Rhodes that the crystal in the box was related to the necromancer, the village chief was able to immediately sort out everything that happened in the mine.
Rod's attention was on Elon.
There has been a lot of debate among players about why Elon became a necromancer, but no real answer has been found.
Thinking of the Revenant Crystal in the Mine, Rhodes seemed to be able to understand Elon's choice.
According to the village chief, it was only recently that they unearthed the Revenant Crystal.
Rhodes remembered that if the Revenant Crystal could be mined in this kind of mine, then in the depths of the mine, countless death energy would be accumulated, and there would even be a chance to form the highest quality Revenant Crystal, the Mother of Revenant.
Due to the blockade of all methods of practicing necromancy in Bracada, the village chief had never even heard of the existence of the Revenant Crystal, and only turned it in as a special mineral.
This action of the village chief undoubtedly exposed the abnormality of this mine. Once Elon learns of this from any source, he will definitely not let go of the Revenant Crystal here.
