Chapter 106: Exploring the Village

Following the location shown in the badge, Rhodes quickly made his way to the location of the largest dwarven village.

Rhodes did not reveal his presence, and when he was closer to the village, he disembarked from the centaur and began to probe the location of the village.

A little far away from the village, Rhodes confirmed the existence of the village through reconnaissance and immediately left without stopping.

Unknown to the strength of the village's defenses and the level of guards inside, Rhodes could not attack easily, so he needed to gather intelligence first.

Although Rhodes had already left, at this time, a bat quietly appeared in the treetops in the dwarven village.

The arrival of the bats did not attract the attention of any of the surrounding dwarves. Due to the dwarves' low perception and the vampires' deliberate restrain of the aura of death, the dwarves did not notice it.

The bat was above the treetops, relaying all the information it saw to Rhodes not far away.

Through the information sent by the bats, Rhodes confirms the intelligence inside the dwarven village.

Within the dwarven village, there are a large number of ordinary dwarves, and these ordinary dwarves have the strength of the first to second order. In addition to these ordinary dwarves, there are also third-order battle dwarves within the village.

At this time, there were more than five battle dwarves in the bat's line of sight alone.

In the feedback from the bats, Rhodes also noticed another piece of information, that there were a large number of elves gathered in the dwarven village.

Although there are a large number of fantastical creatures in the territory of Eri, the main rulers of Eri are still elves, and in the depths of Eri, the orthodox elven royal family still exists.

In the entire elven royal family, there is only one elven king, so the factions within the elves are very complicated, and the elven factions that Rhodes dealt with in his previous life have reached dozens. From the information from the bats alone, Rhodes could not get specific information about these elves.

After understanding these circumstances, Rhodes thought about it for a while, and then judged the overall strength of the dwarven village, and immediately understood why the necromancer could not take this place.

Depending on the strength of ordinary necromancers, undead creatures are overpowered by the defenses in dwarven villages, and necromancers will be attacked from a distance by these elves once they cast a spell.

Realizing this, Rhodes needed to revise his plans.

In addition, the information transmitted by the bats also revealed that there were a number of ordinary people in the Dwarven Village.

Through the command of the spirit imprint, Rhodes had the bats convey the details of these ordinary people. After receiving this information, Rhodes confirmed that these ordinary people should have fled for safety.

In order to make it easier to manage, the common people were divided into a separate part of the village, and in addition, there were several elves in that location, who were pacifying the common people.

Noticing this information, an idea suddenly arose in Rhodes's mind. Rhodes thought for a moment and confirmed that the idea was indeed feasible.

After deciding, Rhodes no longer hesitated, but immediately moved. Rhodes mounted the centaur and scurried off into the distance.

The bat flew quickly towards the forest, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared among the layers of leaves.

Trying to get away from the dwarven village, Rhodes rode his centaur into the woods.

After a while, after confirming that he was difficult to detect by the creatures in the village, Rhodes stopped and quickly searched for a suitable location in the surrounding area.

Due to its location in Erie, the environment here is similar to when Rhodes first came out of the tomb, with unusually wide trees and lush foliage.

After looking around a few times, with his intermediate reconnaissance skills, Rhodes immediately found a suitable position.

Rod quickly came to a large tree and climbed up in a few clicks. The target that Rhodes chose was the hollow in the middle of the tree.

Rod took out the weapon from the spatial ring, smashed it into the tree hole a few times, and after confirming the size of the inside of the tree hole, Rod went directly into it.

At this time, Rod didn't care about the environment inside the tree hole, so he directly took off the black robe on his body, and at the same time changed into an ordinary single coat.

With that done, Rhodes began to make one of the most important preparations.

Rhodes needs to do deep meditation here.

Due to the strong defense of the dwarven village, it is obviously very difficult to attack directly from the front, even if Rhodes recalls the centaur leader, he may not be able to force it down, so Rhodes can only choose another method.

The method chosen by Rhodes was to mix in with a different identity.

Rhodes knew that the internal control in Eri was not strict, and it could even be said that there was no control at all, and there were many ordinary people who evaded the lord's taxes living in Erie, and even powerful professionals would choose to settle here.

Therefore, after confirming that the dwarven village would accept the fleeing ordinary people, Rhodes realized that he could enter the village in this way.

Since Rhodes has mastered the art of spiritualism, the mana in his body is directly attached to the death energy, once it is perceived, it will be suspected by the entire village, and even directly hunted down by the entire dwarf village, which will bring great disadvantages to Rod's next actions.

Therefore, what Rhodes needs to do at this time is to consume all his mana through deep meditation. And use some special means to make the body temporarily stop recovering mana, and blend into the dwarven village in this way.

While Rod was making these preparations, the bat quickly flew to a tree branch, and with a turn of his body, he hung upside down on it, and began to guard Rhodes' surroundings.

Deep meditation can drain the mage's mana, but it can also attract the surrounding magical elements, so Rhodes has the vampire on the sidelines.

In the rear, the walking corpses controlled by Rhodes are also slowly coming in this direction, and it won't be long before the walking corpses can reach this place.

For mages, general deep meditation takes a long time to completely drain the mana in order to achieve the desired effect.

Rhodes had experience as a mage in a previous life and knew many special methods for deep meditation. These include how to interrupt deep meditation in time when you encounter danger and reduce the backlash you receive, and how to do it quickly.

In this way, Rhodes was able to deplete his mana in a very short period of time, but due to the short time, this deep meditation would not bring about a spiritual boost, but would cause some damage.

Under normal circumstances, this method of deep meditation does not bring positive results, and Rhodes will not choose to use it. But in the current situation, this approach can help Rhodes blend in with the village.

Rhodes crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began to meditate deeply......
