Chapter 802: Perception One
In a dark mansion, Rhodes, who was sitting cross-legged here, didn't know how long he had been meditating, suddenly moved.
As Rod became conscious, it didn't take long for the candlestick beside him to be extinguished to light up under the effect of the spell, bringing some light to the originally dark mansion.
Under the light of the fire, after regaining his original sight, Rhodes moved his body briefly, and then walked towards the outside of the secluded mansion.
Although the shallow meditation he had conducted before could not bring about an increase in Rhodes' attribute values, it allowed Rhodes to reach the best mental state while his mana value was restored to full value.
In the process of returning to Diya, Rhodes above the ghost dragon has not been able to rest well, and it is only now, when he is in the secluded mansion, that Rhodes gets this opportunity.
For Rod at this time, the state he has is undoubtedly the most intact since returning to Diya, and Rod also has greater certainty in the face of the powerful enemy that is about to appear.
Soon, Rhodes came to the gate in front of the mansion, and in the light of the fire, Rod was able to confirm that during the time he meditated, there was no sign of other creatures breaking in.
Rhodes chose to withdraw from the meditative state because he received a message from a spiritual imprint. The anomaly in the spiritual imprint forced Rhodes to end his meditative state and go outside the mansion to investigate.
Long before entering the meditative state, Rhodes used the spirit imprint to give orders to the undead creatures outside the mansion to guard the place. At this time, the abnormality that appeared in the spiritual imprint undoubtedly made Rhodes realize that something abnormal was happening outside the secluded mansion.
Rod put the candlestick in his hand aside, and then opened the door of the mansion from the inside, at this time, the scene that appeared in front of Rode's eyes also proved Rode's original idea.
Rhodes noticed that the vampire who had been leading the way was outside the mansion, not far from the undead creatures, and had apparently come for himself.
What made Rhodes a little concerned was that the undead creatures he had originally ordered to guard here did not have any hostility towards the appearance of this vampire, and did not take the initiative to attack it, but remained in place as if he didn't feel anything.
According to Rhodes' understanding of low-level undead creatures, their perception of the outside world depends entirely on their own soul fire, which naturally includes their judgment of hostile creatures.
When controlled by a necromancer with a spirit mark, the judgment of the undead creature will also change. In this case, according to Rhodes's prediction, the group of undead creatures surrounding outside the mansion will not attack each other, and any other kind of undead creatures will be attacked by them when they come here.
It's just that the situation in front of him made Rod understand that the situation didn't seem to be as simple as he thought. Rhodes knew that the vampire must have mastered the means to protect himself from the undead creatures.
Thinking that he couldn't detect the existence of any aura from the evolved vampire, Rhodes also roughly guessed what kind of ability the vampire's method came from.
Rhodes realized that the undead creatures outside the mansion would not be able to detect the vampire's arrival at all, and if it weren't for the vampire's initiative to expose his existence, the undead creatures outside the mansion would not have transmitted any information to him.
Rhodes had a clearer understanding of the vampire's stealth abilities and the reactions of the undead creatures.
Looking at Rhodes as he walked out of the mansion, the vampire spoke, "Necromancer, the Spiritualist Tower will be reopened today, Lord Tammik is now waiting outside the tower, please come with me to the Spiritualist Tower." ”
As he spoke, the vampire reached out and pointed to a location in the City of the Dead.
Following the direction that the vampire was pointing, Rod's gaze also fell on the tallest building in the entire city of the dead, which was the greeting tower mentioned by the vampire.
Rhodes noticed that the strange patterns on the Soul Tower were emitting a dark red glow.
Compared to when he first arrived in the City of Death, this dark red light was more abundant, even under the shroud of the dark sky, Rhodes could observe the whole picture of the entire Soul Tower, and the original lines on the Soul Tower also became more strange under the light of this dark red light.
In Rod's perception, on the Soul Tower, the thing that didn't know what it was, did not slow down its own call, but became more intense with the flickering red light on the Soul Tower.
Rhodes knew that during the time he was waiting, whether it was Sandru in the Soul Calling Tower, or the forces in the City of Death, they had made sufficient preparations for what might happen next, and the flickering dark red light on the Soul Calling Tower in front of him was the best proof.
The opening of the Spiritualist Tower is obviously very related to Sandru in it. Rhodes believed that whatever Sandru's purpose in coming to the City of the Dead, it had been accomplished at this time.
In this case, Rhodes realized that even if he did not have his arrival, these things that happened in the City of Death at this time were of great significance to the entire Death Shadow campaign.
At this point, after passing the information about the Spiritualist Tower to Rod, the vampire stopped talking, turned around, and walked towards the direction of the Spiritualist Tower.
Seeing this, Rhodes did not continue to wait, but followed the vampire behind him, and went to the location of the Soul Tower in the City of Death.
Before leaving, Rhodes seemed to notice something, turned his head, glanced at the undead creature behind him, and then made a decision.
For the next mission, these low-level undead creatures will not be able to bring any degree of help, and will even affect Rhodes' own strength due to the spiritual imprint they occupy.
In this case, Rhodes did not hesitate to deal with these undead creatures, and planned to abandon them.
Due to the limitations of the spirit mark, it was difficult for Rhodes to remove it directly, and the vampire in front of him did not seem to have the intention of letting Rhode deal with the undead creatures, in this case, Rod could only use the spirit mark to give orders to these undead creatures to attack all the creatures around him.
Looking at these undead creatures that were gradually moving away, thinking of the last order he gave them, Rhodes knew that these undead creatures might die at the hands of stronger creatures in a short time, but Rhodes didn't care about this.
