Chapter 206: Departure
Rhodes tried to get the system to identify the role of dead leaves, but found nothing. The system did not send any hints to Rod.
In the current situation, Rhodes could not know the function of this dead leaf, as if the dead leaf in his hand was no different from ordinary leaves, but Rod knew that whether it was from his own perception or the court mage's deliberate act of putting the dead leaf into his spatial ring, it showed that the withered leaf might exist.
After taking this dead leaf in his hand and examining it for a while, he saw that he couldn't find anything abnormal, so Rod didn't bother with it anymore, but put it into the space ring, and then checked the other items in the space ring again.
Most of the remaining items are ordinary items, as well as a small number of precious materials. Of these items, the only items that might be of some use to Rhodes were the gold coins that the court mage carried.
Compared to the mages that Rhodes had met before, the court mages had a large amount of gold coins on them, and if Rhodes hadn't looted a dwarven vault, then these gold coins were obviously Rhodes' greatest wealth at the moment.
In addition, Rhodes found an epistle in the court mage's spatial ring.
Since Rhodes had already completed the most important strength improvement in the previous battles, and Rhodes' next plan was to return to the City of Sorrow as soon as possible, Rhodes did not pay attention to the information battle situation that might be recorded in the letter.
However, in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the situation on the battlefield and to obtain more information, Rhodes still opened the letter and began to read its contents.
As Rhodes examined the letter, his face slowly changed.
Rhodes discovered that what was recorded in the letter was the state of Eri's army at this time.
The letter states that in the current situation, due to the necromancer's voluntary retreat from the border, in order to take revenge on the necromancers who broke the peace of Erie, a large number of creatures are counterattacking the city of Eeri's Scream.
Judging from the tone of the letter, the owner of the letter should belong to a commander on the front line of the battlefield, and in addition to reporting the situation on the border, the owner of the letter also answered many questions from the court mage.
Among them, the letter emphasizes that there is no bone dragon near the border of Diya, and I hope that the court mage can rest assured.
Realizing this, Rhodes looked at the body of the court mage again.
Rhodes understood that the court mage was trying to ask the front-line commander about his whereabouts, but he received no information.
Rhodes quickly finished reading the letter, the last part of which consisted of the usual small talk and the front-line commander's inquiries about the hero within the faction.
After reading the letter, Rhodes also had some understanding of the situation in which the war was unfolding.
At this point, Rhodes cleaned up everything in the space ring, and there were no more previous items on the body of the court mage, but for Rod, the body of the court mage also had a very high value.
Rhodes knew that according to the strength of the court mage, as long as he handled it properly, under the effect of the legendary spiritualism, he could transform the court mage into a fifth-order corpse witch.
But in the current situation, the mana on Rhodes' body is not enough to support this transformation.
Rhodes raised his hand, and suddenly, the body of the court mage was included in the space ring by Rhodes.
If the court mage is still alive or has been transformed into an undead creature, then Rhodes will not be able to include them in the Spatial Ring, but in this case, Rhodes will be able to include the corpse in between the two in the Spatial Ring.
With that done, Rhodes didn't plan to stay here for long.
Rhodes knew that although there were no enemies here until now, and no powerful creatures were attracted to it because of mana fluctuations, it didn't mean that it was safe.
This location, after all, is still located in the territory of Erie. Due to the vast territory of Erie, such a small location would be difficult for the powerful Eri creatures to notice, but Rhodes was not willing to take the risk.
What's more, according to what was written in the previous letter, Rhodes needed to return to the City of Sorrow before Eli's counteroffensive began.
At this time, having gained enough strength, Rhodes' focus now is on his soul mission.
Rhodes knew that if he acted too late, when the battle officially broke out in the City of Sorrow, those necromancers who came to support him would add many variables to his plans.
According to Rod's idea, it would be better for him to return before the City of Sorrow falls into flames.
It had obviously been a while since the court mage received this letter, and Rhodes had no way of knowing how the battle was developing at this time.
Therefore, Rhodes needs to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible so that he can prepare for his next step before the City of Sorrow is attacked.
If it was a simple tidying up space ring, although it would take a little time, it would have no effect on Rhodes in general, but if he spent nearly a day meditating here, Rhodes was obviously unwilling.
After putting the body of the court mage into the spatial ring, Rhodes no longer waited, but immediately boarded the bone dragon.
At Rod's signal, the bone dragon re-led the undead creatures under his command in one direction.
Previously, in order to avoid the pursuit of the court mage, Rhodes could only let the bone dragon fly rapidly in one direction, and under the circumstances, Rhodes made some mistakes in the direction he was traveling.
And after being attacked by the court mage, Rhodes didn't care about the surrounding environment, but chose to face the court mage. This has also led to the current Rhodes, who is completely unable to distinguish the direction of the way.
In Rod's opinion, although it is located on the back of the bone dragon, looking at the unchanged scenery around him, even if he has a map in his hand, it is difficult for Rhodes to distinguish the direction.
Rhodes knew that he might have lost his way, and in this case, he couldn't determine the direction around him without the bonus of special skills related to pathfinding.
At this time, Rhodes set his eyes on the centaur leader on the side.
According to Rod's thoughts, since the centaur leader lives in the territory of Eli all year round, and often goes to the dense forest to raid other creatures, perhaps the centaur leader can find a way forward.
Thinking of this, Rhodes immediately asked the centaur, and the centaur leader seemed to think for a moment, and then pointed directly in one direction.
Rod didn't ask if the centaur leader was sure, but motioned to the bone dragon and sped in the direction the centaur leader was pointing.
