Chapter 1292: Witch

Sensing the sudden burst of mana fluctuations not far away, whether it was Rhodes or Vera on the side, their hearts were shocked.

The appearance of mana fluctuations, especially when Vera had just fled, was not a good omen, enough to keep the two of them on their toes.

"It's them!" Vera whispered, "It must be the enemies in the Quiet City, who knew that I had fled along the upper reaches of the Millis River, so they sent men in pursuit. ”

"Those hateful elves, if they really think that I am running away from the wilderness, I will let them taste my power." Vera said indignantly.

However, Rhodes raised his hand to stop Vera's actions: "You didn't clean up the area around the Millis River, did you?" ”

Vera nodded, "I think the intention of eliminating all the creatures near the river is too obvious, so I didn't do it, just let the corpse witch lurk from under the water to the secluded city." ”

Rhodes moved his gaze and looked in the direction where the mana fluctuations came from: "That's right, the person who caused this mana fluctuation was not necessarily the enemy who was chasing, it could also be other creatures, no matter what kind of creature it was, it should not appear at this time." ”

Mana fluctuations originate from the use of magic, and in addition to mages, some high-level animals also have good spell-casting abilities, which can cause strong mana fluctuations.

"Let's go, let's go and see."

With that, Rhodes walked towards the forest where the mana fluctuations came, and Vera followed behind, and the corpse witch was still lurking at the bottom of the river, not following the two of them together.

As he walked, Rod suddenly felt a peep in his heart, as if he was being watched by some kind of creature, and his every move was watched by him.

Feeling the abnormality on his body, Rod continued to walk deeper into the forest.

After a while, a small wooden house appeared in the dense jungle.

Unlike the treehouses that elves like to build, the wooden houses in front of them sit smoothly on the ground, with a thatched roof scattered on the roof. Outside the wooden house, there are large patches of different types of mushrooms, which are unusually bright in color, and the soil has newly turned over marks.

"Master, do you smell it?" Vera on the side said solemnly, and Rod felt puzzled.

Due to the nature of the body itself, Rhodes at this time did not maintain a human form and could not distinguish the smells around him, listening to Vera's words, Rhodes realized that he seemed to have ignored something.

Fortunately, at this time, Rod mastered a variety of secret methods, including the aromatic secret method that allows him to distinguish the smell, Rod immediately used it, and instantly, the perception of mixing multiple smells appeared in Rode's mind.

Rhodes noticed that the smell around the hut, in addition to the indelible smell of blood, was also the unique smell of decomposing corpses, which was the most familiar smell to necromancers, and it was impossible to forget it.

"Do you know what's going on here?" Rhodes asked in a deep voice, the wooden house in front of him looked extremely weird, and it didn't look like the style of those elves.

"I don't know. Please also ask the master to release the cloud of death and erase everything here. Vera hurriedly said.

However, Rod didn't do this, looking at the wooden house in front of him, Rod seemed to remember something, the environment here, let Rod guess the rank of the owner of the wooden house.

At the same time that Rhodes observed the wooden house in front of him, the door of the wooden house slowly opened, and a woman in gray was dragging a huge cloth bag outside.

"You two just keep watching, or do you want to come and help me?" A hoarse voice suddenly came from the front of the wooden house.

“…… Master, is she talking about us? Vera asked Rhodes in surprise.

Ignoring Vera on the side, Rhodes approached the cabin first.

From the woman in gray, Rhodes could vaguely feel a threat, far less intense than when facing the dragon in the Dragon Country, but Rhodes still did not let down his vigilance, the peeping eye could not take effect on it, and her rank was at least above the fifth order.

As the distance approached, the appearance of the woman in gray also appeared in Rod's sight. Her skin was loose and wrinkled, and she looked inactive, and her face was covered in dark spots.

What made Rhodes care most was her eyes, where there was only pitch black, no eyelids, no eyeballs, only a deep darkness, which made it difficult to look away at a glance.

From her body, Rod could feel a burst of gaze, obviously, she was using her own unique method to look at Rod at this time.

Similar to the old woman in gray, Rhodes in the form of a skeleton also has no regular eyeballs, and the soul fire in the eye sockets replaces the efficacy of various organs, so that Rod can still see things in the outside world, but I don't know what way the old woman in gray in front of him uses to see Rhodes in front of him.

Seeing the appearance of the old woman in gray in her eyes, Rhodes at this time also confirmed her rank.

Not only her appearance, but also the unique environment around the wooden house, or the abnormality that Rhodes vaguely perceived, all explained to Rhodes that the old woman in gray in front of him was a high-ranking sorcerer.

Sorcerers have mastered secret techniques that make them look bad in the eyes of other creatures, and even be weird, and ordinary creatures have always tried to avoid association with sorcerers, who, like necromancers, are an ominous symbol.

Since the sorcerers originated in the former Bracada, most sorcerers, while mastering the secret arts, also practiced some practical spells, and when the sorcerers did not display the secret methods, they looked not much different from ordinary mages.

In order to avoid confusion of identity, the sorcerers who inhabit the surface world have their own exclusive titles, witches and wizards. Similar to the gray-clothed old woman in front of her, she can be called a witch, of course, in the mouths of most ordinary creatures, this title is not an honorific title at all.

Different regions have different attitudes towards sorcerers, Bracada and Erathia have never welcomed the arrival of sorcerers, Bracada expelled the sorcerers in the territory, and Erathia directly executed the sorcerers whose identities were exposed.

Only Eri welcomes the arrival of the sorcerer, who can live in the Eri in the open, which is a rare sight in other areas.

The elves of Erry have always been very tolerant of the creatures that come to this dense forest, whether it is a human being, or a xenomorph creature in the eyes of other creatures, they can all settle in the dense forest, of course, in this middle, to get rid of the necromancer, no matter what kind of force, will not allow the existence of the necromancer.
