Chapter 478: Harvest
While Elon was waiting for Northon's arrival and thinking about some information about himself, Rhodes, who was on the ghost dragon, began to sort out the gains from this potions competition.
In addition to the artifact parts obtained as a reward for the champion of the Potions Competition, in Rhodes's possession, there were many perfect potions that were refined in the process, as well as a bottle of potion that was the most precious in the entire Potions Competition, which could increase the health coefficient.
The artifact parts obtained, Rhodes had already worn them on his body, and the mana that had been lost due to teleportation was also rapidly recovering at this time under the effect of the artifact parts.
Although he had expected the power of this artifact part, when it actually worked, Rhodes was a little shocked.
Rod noticed that through the improvement brought to him by this special artifact part, his current mana recovery speed is far greater than the mana recovery speed of all the mana he used during normal meditation.
In this process, if Rhodes takes the initiative to cast another effect of this artifact part, gathering the magical elements in the surrounding space around him, and also actively meditating himself, then the recovery of mana will be much faster, far faster than any other mage.
Compared to the powerful mana recovery, the ability of the talisman to gather the surrounding magical elements may be even stronger, and this was reflected as early as the airship, when the talisman tried to destroy the existence of the forbidden demon ritual.
In addition to this artifact part, the remaining potions in Rhodes' hands were also extremely precious.
If Rhodes were willing to identify himself and send these potions to the Magic Guild in Bracada to sell, he could make a lot of money.
Even if those mages learned the identity of Rhodes' necromancer in the process, I am afraid they would not refuse the potions in Rhodes' hands, but unfortunately, Rhodes had other plans for these potions.
When Rhodes was able to safely evacuate from the airship after refining the potions and receiving the artifact parts as a reward, this was even more important to Rhodes than the ordinary gains.
In the process of evacuation, in addition to the mage's lack of defense against himself, Rhodes also used the strongest undead creature under his command, that is, the ghost dragon.
As early as after confirming the location of the final of the Potions Competition, Rhodes used the spirit imprint to make the ghost dragon, which was originally located in the territory of Verning, fly in the direction he was in.
The necromancer's ability to control the spirit mark will gradually weaken as the distance between him and the undead creature increases, and when the distance exceeds a limit, the necromancer will not be able to control the existence of the undead creature through the spirit mark.
Although the rank of the ghost dragon is extremely high, it is not much different from ordinary undead creatures in terms of its own spiritual imprint. When the ghost dragon was in Werning, Rod's spiritual imprint was also extremely weakened, and he was completely unable to perceive the ghost dragon's movements, let alone give any orders to the ghost dragon.
For this reason, Rhodes had no choice but to control the movement of the ghost dragon by issuing orders to the centaur leader in the territory of Verning.
Due to the Centaur Leader's status as a Death Knight and his brief escape from the control of the Spirit Imprint due to the influence of the Elven Spring, the Centaur Leader later cast a Mental Imprint on him to a much greater extent than the Spiritual Imprint he exerted on the rest of the creatures.
Based on this, Rhodes has a special connection with the centaur leader, even if they are extremely far away from each other, Rhodes is able to convey his general meaning to the centaur leader.
After receiving the news from Rod, the centaur leader immediately let the ghost dragon fly in the direction of Bracada, while it itself remained in the territory of Verning, dealing with the local situation.
After the ghost dragon entered the territory of Bracada, although the distance between him and the ghost dragon was still far away, Rhodes had already restored the connection with the ghost dragon and was able to control the movement of the ghost dragon by relying on his spiritual imprint.
When the final of the Potions Contest began, the dragon lurked in the sky a little further away from the airship as Rod had instructed him, until Rhodes finally jumped off. Rhodes was also able to teleport back to the ghost dragon safely.
After coming to the ghost dragon's body, through the perception of the ghost dragon's state, Rhodes also found some abnormalities.
According to Rhodes's original prediction, when the ghost dragon appeared under the airship, although it was far away, the rich death energy on the ghost dragon's body could hardly hide the perception of those powerful mages.
Even if the ghost dragon can transform death energy into a higher level of nether energy, it is still similar to death energy in essence, and when the mage senses this, he will understand what kind of undead creature it will be.
Originally, Rhodes didn't want to hide the existence of the ghost dragon, Rhodes thought that when he jumped down and came to the ghost dragon's body through teleportation, the existence of the ghost dragon would definitely be perceived by those mages.
However, what Rod didn't expect was that those mages on the airship didn't seem to be aware of the existence of the ghost dragon.
In Rhodes' perception, the netherworld energy on the ghost dragon's body seemed to have changed greatly, and it was completely different from the state it had when it was separated from him.
Through careful perception of the ghost dragon, Rhodes also found some problems. Originally, when leading the ghost dragon into battle, although the rank of the ghost dragon had reached the sixth order, its overall strength was not as good as that of some powerful sixth-level creatures. If it weren't for the existence of a special Nether Dragon Breath on the Ghost Dragon's body, it would have been difficult to defeat even the fifth-order heroic ogre.
But now, in Rhodes's perception, the ghost dragon has changed greatly, and its strength is completely different from its original state.
Rod noticed that according to the situation he perceived, the strength possessed by the ghost dragon was likely to be very close to the seventh order.
The pale netherworld energy on the ghost dragon's body has also undergone a lot of changes as its strength has improved. If the ghost dragon has been constricting the netherworld energy on his body, he can even hide his own breath completely, and this is also the reason why the ghost dragon was not discovered in advance by the mage on the airship.
Due to Rhodes' legendary spiritualism, the ghost dragon's netherworld energy still can't have any effect on Rhodes, but for any other kind of creature, the netherworld energy on the ghost dragon is extremely deadly.
