Chapter 471: Hostility II
In Rod's perception, the hostility emanating from Northen was undoubtedly the strongest.
Compared to the other mages around him, the hostility that appeared in Nuo Than's body was extremely obvious, even reaching a higher level of hatred.
This made Rod very puzzled. What Rhodes didn't know was whether it was his status as a necromancer that offended him, or whether Noxon had a grudge against the necromancer in the past, which led to such a strong hostility.
Even Eli, who revealed his identity as a necromancer, Rod didn't feel any hostility from him, but he could feel it from Northon's body.
Due to the huge difference in ranks, even if he was also in the forbidden demon ceremony, it was difficult for Rhodes to feel any news from Eli's body. Perhaps this also had something to do with Eli's failure to show what he really thought, but from Northson's body, Rod could feel a palpable hostility.
At this point, Eli was arguing with the necromancer, trying to refute the necromancer's suggestion that there was nothing wrong with the necromancer itself.
When Rod said those words, Eli began to argue with the necromancer, although the other mages around him could not accept Rod's identity in a short time, but except for a few mages who were still paying attention to Rod, the rest of the mages moved their eyes to the necromancer who was arguing with Eli.
This mage faced the leader of the Magic Guild, Eli, who was extremely powerful in his own right, and did not have any timidity when he told his opinion of necromancers.
Maybe it's the existence of the forbidden demon ritual that makes this mage unable to feel Eli's strength, or maybe it's because of the mage's own personality, even if there is a big gap in strength, this mage can still say his thoughts completely.
Throughout the airship, most of the mages present were attracted to the conversation between them, but there were still a few mages who were not.
Due to the different concerns of mages, some mages may be easily attracted by this information about necromancers, while others are unmoved and still pay attention to the object they originally cared about.
Among the few mages, Rhodes was one of them. At this time, Rod's eyes were looking at a mage who was in the middle of the forbidden demon ritual. This mage is none other than Northon, who is extremely hostile to Rhodes.
When Rhodes revealed his identity as a necromancer, Northon's gaze stayed on Rod's body, and any situation around him seemed to affect Northon's sight.
Noticing the state of Northam, Rod gradually noticed something unusual, and the intensity of this hostility was not ordinary. If it weren't for the existence of the forbidden demon ritual, even if Nuo Sen directly cast a spell to attack him, Rhodes would not be surprised.
Rod had only seen this kind of look in Northson's eyes on a few enemies, and those enemies all ended up fighting Rode. Although it is not clear why Northam has changed this way, Rhodes has begun to care about Northam's every move.
For Rod, having received the artifact part as a reward, the goal of this Potions Contest has been achieved. At this time, what Rhodes hopes most is to get out of the airship smoothly.
Although he won the championship prize of the Potions Competition, that is, the amulet that can mobilize the magic elements on the entire airship, Rhodes still clearly knows that this is not the time to be careless.
Because he was still on top of the airship, and due to a series of actions of the third-ranked necromancer, his identity was also revealed, and at this time, Rhodes was still not safe.
On this airship, Rhodes didn't know what kind of attitude they had towards the existence of necromancers, so he had no intention of revealing his identity as a necromancer.
In Rhodes' opinion, it is undoubtedly an extremely risky thing to directly reveal his identity as a necromancer, similar to the necromancer in third place.
Even though he accepted a mission with the Spiritual Society before boarding the airship, Rhodes was not going to take the risk. If it weren't for the necromancer, who was ranked third, and took the initiative to reveal his identity, perhaps until he left the airship, the mage here would not know Rod's true identity.
Convincing the high-ranking mages that exist on the airship is not just a matter of getting a higher ranking in the potions competition, there must be enough reason to convince them to change their perception of necromancers, especially those who exist in the magic guilds.
In this case, even if the necromancer reveals his identity and even gives enough reasons, it will not necessarily convince those mages, and what awaits this necromancer may not be a good result.
As for the tasks concerning the Spiritual Society, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to accomplish them in this case. If Rhodes tries to be like this necromancer, it might have the opposite effect.
However, for this necromancer, what he hoped to achieve, to increase the influence of the necromancer, could be achieved in this way.
Perhaps what this necromancer said could not change the opinion of those high-level mages about necromancers, but it could directly change the views of those mages who were not of high rank and did not have a deep understanding of necromancers. Being able to do this, the mage can be considered to have completed his task.
If the necromancer can successfully convince Eli, he will be considered to have successfully completed the task assigned by the Spirit Society, and he and the rest of the necromancers on the airship will be able to leave the airship smoothly and be rewarded by the Spirit Society.
And if he fails, not only will he be punished by the Magic Guild, but even the rewards he has just received from the Potions Contest will be taken back.
In this mage's mind, he may have expected this result for a long time, and perhaps he intends to increase the influence of the necromancer in this way.
From the very beginning, this was the attitude of the Spirit Society towards these necromancers who came to the airship.
When Rhodes realized what the necromancer was doing, his first thought was how to save himself and get out of the airship.
At this time, seeing that the argument between the necromancer and Eli was getting more and more intense, and perhaps it would not be long before the two of them would split the results, coupled with the growing hostility from Northon beside him, Rhodes knew that he also needed to do something.
