Chapter 249: Promise
Seeing Rowling agree, the hero's eyes finally showed a look of gratitude.
Before he could continue to talk to Rowling, there was a sudden loud noise outside the house.
Suddenly, half of the wall on the side of the house completely collapsed, and the light from outside instantly shone in. Due to the distance, coupled with the vampire's timely blocking, even if the wall collapsed, it did not cause any damage to Rowling.
Following the light outside, Rowling looked towards the location of the anomaly.
Rowling noticed that on the street outside the wall, there were many soldiers in black armor at this time.
At this time, Rowling sensed that a strong death energy appeared around her. And the source of these death energies is these soldiers, and Rowling guesses that this should be the means of the necromancer Sepp.
Thinking of the hero's move to introduce herself into the house, Rowling suddenly realized that Sepp had apparently monitored any events in the outer city by some means, and it was precisely because of her presence that the hero in front of her was discovered by Sepp.
Due to the proximity, the hero retreated into the passage as soon as possible, and Rowling had to exit the room first.
Rowling noticed that outside the room, the centaur leader had already started a battle with the soldier creatures that had appeared.
These soldiers were wearing a set of pitch-black armor, and the weapons in their hands were also not ordinary, and in terms of sharpness, even if they were still some distance away from the treasure, they were not much different.
In the face of the centaur leader's attack, these soldiers did not panic, on the contrary, they cooperated with each other, and fought back and forth with the centaur leader.
Due to the superiority in numbers, for a while, these soldiers had the upper hand in the course of the battle.
Seeing this, Rowling immediately raised her hand, and a sluggish Dafa effect was released. Suddenly, every movement of these soldiers seemed to be in a quagmire, and their speed dropped significantly.
Through these days of study, Rowling followed Rod's guidance and chose one of the four spells to focus on learning. Following Rod's suggestion, Rowling's final choice was earth magic.
At this time, Rowling already has expert-level earth magic, which is also a point that makes Rod feel amazed. Even in the more difficult space-time gates, Rowling was able to perform them without any obstacles.
Although Rhodes knew in advance that heroes had a strong talent for learning special skills, what Rhodes didn't expect was that Rowling would be able to master expert-level earth magic in a few days.
Under the effect of the Great Law of Retardation, the centaur leader immediately seized the opportunity, and took advantage of the weakening strength of these black-armored soldiers around him, and the centaur leader immediately stepped forward to attack.
At this time, these soldiers instantly changed their way of fighting, from the beginning of the strong attack, to the defense, between the changes, it seemed extremely flexible, obviously there was a necromancer who was giving them orders.
When the centaur leader fights, the vampire does not come to help, but always stands by Rowling's side.
The vampire and centaur leaders all understood that judging from the power felt by these black-armored soldiers around them, this was obviously not the main force of the enemy, and the real strength of an enemy of this level was not strong except for relying on the extremely defensive armor on his body and being able to drag on it for a while.
Therefore, they didn't even need the ghost dragon to make a move, they were able to easily deal with these black-armored soldiers around them.
On the side, Rowling was about to release spells to support the centaur leader on the battlefield, but suddenly noticed that the sound of fighting seemed to be heard again in the original house.
Rowling moved a few distances to the side, following the wall shattered by the black-armored soldiers, and looking into the room.
Rowling discovers that the hero she was talking to is fending off a soldier who leaps into the room.
Unlike the centaur leader, who is extremely good at fighting, this hero is like a creature living in the outer city, and in the face of the attack of the black-armored soldiers, he has no strength to resist at all, and at this time, there are already multiple wounds on his body.
Just as Rowling was about to release a spell to support the hero, but it was a little late, the black-armored soldier stabbed out with a sword, directly piercing the hero's body.
The black-armored soldier kept moving, and after piercing the hero's body with his blade, he dragged him directly into the tunnel below the room, giving Rowling no chance to cast a spell to save him.
Seeing this scene happen, Rowling's heart suddenly appeared extremely sad.
Rowling knew that even if she wanted to enter the tunnels and rescue this unknown hero, the vampire and centaur leaders around her would not allow it, and even if she wanted to command them, they would not be able to ignore them, just to fulfill Rod's orders and protect themselves.
Recalling the words that the hero had confessed to herself, Rowling's heart was more determined than unstoppable sadness.
Necromancer Sepp......
Rowling did not intend to break the promise of the dead hero, or rather, it was precisely because the hero died in front of her that Rowling's thoughts were stronger.
The black-armored soldiers, who seemed to have completed their mission and were fighting the centaur leader, stopped at the same time, and instead of attacking, they quickly retreated to the rear.
The centaur leader did not choose to pursue, but to protect Rowling, he stayed where he was until the black-armored soldiers had completely withdrawn.
It seems to have been affected by the battle, and when the battle began, the eyes that originally existed around him had completely disappeared at this time, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble because of his own attention.
The battle between the Black-Armored Soldiers and the Centaur Leader also affected some nearby houses. In the room, as long as there is a creature that glimpses the battle of the black-armored soldiers, they are directly killed.
Rowling also understands this, and when she thinks of the creatures around her, she feels a sense of sadness in her heart.
Rowling remembered what the hero had said, these creatures in the outer city were only changed by ordinary people, thinking of this, Rowling once again had a deep feeling for everything Sepp had done.
Rowling just wanted to free these creatures from the city as soon as possible, and Rowling knew that if she could ask Rhodes for help, she would obviously be able to do so according to the strength that Rhodes had shown.
…………
At this time, Rhodes walked out of the palace with a shield in his hand.
Smooth is Rhodes's only evaluation of this operation. Rhodes followed the city lord Sepp into the palace, and along the way, the city lord was extremely polite until he handed Rhodes the treasure he was looking for.
