Increasing knowledge can increase the maximum mana. For the current Rod, after the maximum mana is increased, not only can the spells he learned be released many times, but he can also cast them many times with spiritualism, which can be said to be the greatest improvement in his overall strength.

After allocating attribute points, Rhodes began to check the magic scrolls obtained from the blue-robed mage.

After checking it out, Rhodes found that most of the remaining magic scrolls were first-order magic: healing, and in addition to healing, there were only a few magic arrows left.

Due to the presence of blue-robed mages among the members, coupled with the need to purchase goods, the merchant group did not carry too many magic scrolls, and several second-order magic scrolls suitable for team combat had been consumed by blue-robed mages in previous battles.

Heal is a first-order water-based magic that quickly stops bleeding and restores health. In a battle in the field, a single wound can save the life of a seriously wounded person.

Although healing is only a first-order magic, it is extremely precious. Basically, no merchant will refuse a mage who has mastered healing to join.

The amount of gold required to heal from the Magic Guild is no less than learning ordinary third-order magic. The blue-robed mage didn't even fully master the ordinary first-order magic, but only learned some of the most commonly used, and obviously didn't have gold coins to learn to heal.

Therefore, the merchant group chose to use the healing magic scroll instead. Making and selling healing magic scrolls is one of the enduring businesses of the Magic Guild.

After checking these magic scrolls, Rhodes's gains in this battle were counted, and all that was left was to open the spatial ring and obtain the revenant crystal in it.

Beside him, the vampire has devoured the flesh and is lying dormant on the ground, waiting for his health to return.

Seeing this, Rhodes found a clean place around him and sat down, ready to meditate lightly.

…………

At this time, under the watchtower.

In the previous battle, due to the loss of command and the power of the vampires, the morale of the members of the merchant group was shattered. The remaining guards fled, leaving the caravan in place.

In the process of fleeing, the merchant guards found that the enemy was chasing the blue-robed mage on horseback, ignoring the goods in place. After withdrawing some distance, the surviving guards returned to their original station.

In the process of cleaning up the surrounding corpses, the guards also found Yuser who had fallen from the watchtower. This discovery caused the remaining guards to have distractions, and when they found out that the head of the merchant group had died, the guards immediately had an idea about this batch of goods.

In order to do enough superficial work to avoid being noticed by others, Uther prepared sufficient goods. Even if the value of this shipment was only a fraction of the value of the Revenant Crystals that Uther transported, it was a lot of wealth for the guards, and the gold in exchange was enough for them to squander it for weeks.

In order to avoid internal fighting, and at the same time to guard against thieves on the border, after deliberation, the remaining guards reached a consensus and continued to transport the goods to the original destination, the City of Sorrows.

Due to the darkness of the day, it was undoubtedly very difficult for the whole caravan to move forward, and the guards agreed to get up and set off early tomorrow morning.

The number of guards is already small, and they can retreat under the attack of vampires, and most of them are some third-order professionals.

Among this group, the most powerful senior thief became the leader at this time, but he could only command his group to a certain extent, and if they encountered another battle, the guards gathered now could only break up and flee.

This veteran thief is the same thief who was in charge of supervising Rhodes and the vampires in the first place.

Recalling the strength of the two passengers in the carriage, the thief felt a chill in his heart, if he had not come to the campfire to prepare food, but continued to sit in front of the carriage, maybe he would have been killed in an instant.

At this time, the guards who were supposed to take turns to rest sat outside the resting tent and lit fires on the ground to keep guard.

The veteran thief came to the carriage where the blue-robed mage had been, rummaged through it with a torch, and finally came to sit down outside the carriage.

These guards, although they have reached a verbal agreement, still cannot trust each other. Especially after experiencing the previous battle, everyone realizes that in the face of danger, everyone is only concerned about saving their own lives. At this moment, they were full of suspicion of each other.

The guards sat outside the tents, not knowing what they were thinking.

In the woods not far from the watchtower, another group of creatures lurked at this time. Under the cover of moonlight, these creatures can observe the guards in the merchant group very well.

Seeing the appearance of these guards at this time, the leader of the group of creatures gestured to the members in the rear.

Suddenly, the rear members quickly dispersed to the left and right, and under the illumination of the moonlight, their huge bodies were revealed. Even though they are large, they only make a slight sound when moving quickly.

Seeing that the rest of the members were already in place, the leader made another gesture.

At this point, the veteran thief sitting next to the central carriage sensed that something was wrong.

Although he didn't find the enemy, looking at the deep dense forest around him, the senior thief clearly sensed something, and just stood up, and was about to make a voice to warn the surrounding members, when he saw a rain of arrows shooting in the direction of the merchant group.

Without much thought, relying on his first reaction, the veteran thief jumped directly into the carriage beside him, relying on the carriage to block these arrows outside.

The rest of the guards around them were not so lucky, because they were all paying attention to the people around them, and the sudden rain of arrows caused them to suffer heavy casualties.

Inside the carriage, the veteran thief gritted his teeth, as if he had thought of something.

Bows and arrows are obviously only used by the Eri side, and the veteran thieves don't believe that a necromancer will use a bow and arrow weapon to attack him.

The veteran thieves did not understand why, at this time, the merchant group was attacked by the side of the Eri.

If the strength of the merchant group had not been lost, perhaps the senior thieves would still dare to fight against this group of unknown enemies, but in the current situation, most of the members of the merchant group had already been lost, and even the head of the group had died, and the senior thieves obviously did not have the courage to fight.

Thinking of this, the veteran thief did not dare to stay in the carriage for long, jumped out of the carriage directly, and rushed towards the horses not far away, trying to escape from this place.

At this moment, a spinning battle axe flew out rapidly, so fast that it brought out a series of heavy wind-breaking sounds.

The veteran thief apparently realized something, and was about to dodge to the side, but the tomahawk had already reached and slashed directly into his back.

Looking at the blade of the axe that peeked through his chest, the veteran thief was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

With the last of his life, the veteran thief looked in the direction where the tomahawk was flying with his eyes that had lost focus. I saw a tall centaur with a hideous mask walking towards him.
