Chapter 251: Mother of the Revenant
If Sepp was just a small character with little strength, Rod would have helped Rowling kill him, and he wouldn't refuse at all.
However, through his own perception, Rod knew that Saipu's strength was not weak, not to mention that according to the current situation, Rod was not suitable to stay in Diane.
From Sepp's attitude towards himself, Rod clearly felt abnormal. Even if he is defeated, Saipu will not greet him with this attitude, or even directly hand over the treasure to himself.
Sepp emphasized his identity, and Rhodes knew that there must be something going on in the midst of which he didn't know.
However, if it was Rowling's strong request, Rhodes would not refuse.
For killing people and destroying the city, Rhodes does not have any burden to do, even if Sepp has handed over the treasure to himself before, if the battle starts, Rod will not show any mercy to Sep, on the contrary, Rhodes will be happy because his strength has been improved.
Unlike Rowling, who needs a clear reason to do things, Rhodes does all this just to improve his strength.
Therefore, even a war with Valen City is, to some extent, in line with Rhodes' expectations, but the timing may not be suitable for fighting.
All this still depends on Rowling's wishes, and for Rod, it doesn't matter whether he wants to fight here or not.
However, when Rod noticed Rowling's expression, Rod made the ghost dragon in the sky stop moving.
When she learns that Rhodes is finally willing to take action for himself and take the town, Rowling suddenly falls silent.
For a moment, Rowling didn't say anything, but began a fierce battle of thoughts in her heart, and her eyes also didn't know where to look, but kept scanning around, as if this would make a decision for her.
During the time when the ghost dragon's form appeared, Valen City also had a response move, and Rhodes noticed that a large amount of black smoke was being generated in the sky inside the city at this time.
The smoke rose into the sky, and when it reached a certain height, it did not continue to rise, but quickly spread to all sides, and in the blink of an eye, it had already obscured most of the entire sky.
These black clouds that appear around are naturally the dark canopy of Valen City, due to the need to consume a lot of energy to maintain the existence of the dark canopy, for Valen City, which does not have a magic guild, the consumption of the dark canopy naturally needs to be borne by the city lord.
Due to the lack of many visitors, Valen City did not maintain the existence of the dark canopy at all times, and only opened the dark canopy voluntarily after sensing the appearance of the ghost dragon in the sky and Rhode's possible intention to attack.
Noticing this, Rod looked at Rowling again, hoping that she would be able to make a decision sooner. Since his side is completely exposed to the enemy's sight, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Rhodes.
At this time, Rowling had also made a choice, and her eyes were extremely determined.
Seeing that Rod looked in her direction, Rowling said, "Brother, no need, let's go." ”
Feeling the changes in Rowling's body, Rod didn't reply for a while, but just looked at Rowling, as if he wanted to get an answer from her.
"This is my own promise to that hero, and I shouldn't force you to help. That's my promise......"
As if remembering what Rod had said before, Rowling's tone at this time was extremely firm.
Looking at Rowling in this state in front of her, Rod knew that she had gained a lot of growth in this experience, but what she had comprehended did not seem to be what she had taught.
Rod shook his head lightly and said, "It would be nice if you thought it through at first, it seems a little late now." ”
As he spoke, Rod looked aside.
Rowling followed Rod's line of sight, but saw nothing but ruins. The ruins were left over from the previous battle, and Rowling didn't understand what it meant for Rhodes to look this way.
Soon, Rowling discovered the anomaly, in this position, there are some mana fluctuations, if you just look at it with the naked eye, you can't see anything.
It seems that the movements of Rod and Rowling have been discovered, and with a more obvious mana fluctuation, inside the ruins, a person dressed as a thief no longer hides, but directly shows his figure.
At this point, the thief spoke, "Hand over the Mother of the Dead." ”
The thief didn't say anything superfluous, and his tone didn't seem to be consulting with Rod, but a direct threat, but Rhodes didn't react.
Seeing that Rod seemed unmoved, the thief made a gesture towards the quiet, and at the same time walked in Rhodes' direction.
What the thieves didn't know was that Rod didn't understand what he meant.
In Rod's memory, the Mother of the Revenant was supposed to be the highest quality Revenant Crystal, and it was also an important item for the top necromancer to complete the Endless Night Ritual.
Once the death energy released by the Mother of the Dead is absorbed, the quality of the Endless Night Ritual will be a notch higher for the top necromancers.
Listening to the thief's tone, it was obvious that he had the Mother of the Revenant in his hands, but Rhodes didn't know that the Mother of the Revenant existed, let alone possessed it.
Rhodes knew that no matter how he explained it, the thief would not believe it, and since he dared to appear in front of him, he was obviously completely sure.
Rhodes couldn't confirm whether the thief's existence had anything to do with Sepp in Valen, but he didn't have time to think about it.
As the thief slowly approached Rhodes, the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes reacted immediately.
At Rod's signal, the centaur leader pulled Rowling aside and kept an eye out for Rowling, while the vampire rushed straight towards the thief's position.
Looking at the vampire heading straight ahead of him, the thief remained unmoved, and even his pace did not change, still maintaining an even speed, towards Rod's position.
Seeing that the distance was close, the vampire clawed at the thief, only to catch a dissipated afterimage.
At this time, a wave of mana fluctuations suddenly appeared behind Rod, and the thief who was originally walking appeared directly behind Rod.
As soon as the thief appeared, a lightning bolt of Titan shot towards his location.
The thief didn't expect Rod's reaction and was directly hit by the Titan Arrow, but as the purple talisman hanging from his body flashed, a purple shield appeared in front of him.
The explosion generated by the Titan Arrow, under the protective shield created by this purple amulet, is completely negated. But at the cost, the purple amulet disintegrated and scattered from the thief's body.
