The light in the forest gradually dimmed, and dark red blood flowed freely. Among the broken limbs and bones on the ground, there was only one person standing with a sword, and the fishy smell floating in the sky lingered for a long time.
After killing the magic apprentice, Rhodes used his remaining strength to clear away the few undead creatures on the battlefield.
Without giving himself any time to rest, after killing all the undead creatures, Rhodes began to clean the battlefield and count the loot obtained this time.
During the previous battle, Rhodes did not see the undead creatures carrying anything similar to luggage, so Rhodes focused his search on the apprentice's body.
The mana force exploded inside the body, and the apprentice's body after death was riddled with holes. It seemed that the body parts could be easily separated by pulling hard.
This also made Rhodes sigh that the heroic corpse was damaged like this. If it had not undergone such transformation, this heroic corpse might have many uses.
If a hero-level corpse is used to transform into an undead creature, it will have an inherent advantage over ordinary undead creatures. After undergoing some rituals, it will be qualified to transform into a death knight.
In the production of some powerful treasures, the body of the hero is also needed. The person who makes the treasure does not care whether the hero's corpse is from a human race or a foreign race.
Therefore, hero-level corpses are of high value. Even if the Freelance Chamber of Commerce explicitly does not accept hero-level corpses, the price on the black market has remained high.
Of course, living heroes are more expensive.
What makes Rhodes a little regretful is that the apprentice-level corpse is so damaged that basically all subsequent additional values are gone, and even undead creatures cannot be transformed.
While searching the apprentice's body, Rhodes found a pendant in his clothes. The pendant was soaked with some blood, which gave Rhodes a strange feeling. He held it in his hand. Then from
A mediocre ring was found on his bloody finger. If Rhodes hadn't paid special attention to this place based on past experience, he might have ignored it.
Apprentice-level necromancers are still having trouble obtaining gold coins, so it is difficult to say that they would spend time on such decorations, whether it is a pendant or a ring.
Holding this ring, Rhodes tried it. Feeling that his mana tended to flow into it, Rhodes knew that he had found the right one. This was a space ring.
The price of the space ring is high, far beyond what the apprentice level can afford. Rhodes guessed that the necromancer apprentice got the gold coins after selling the captured hero. This also shows that the hero he wants to rescue is temporarily in a safe place.
place.
Rhodes recalled that opening a space ring usually requires 10 mana points. After that, even if the space ring is lost, no one else can open it and use it until the mana injector dies.
Injecting all the remaining mana into the space ring, Rhodes felt it, but there was no response from the space ring. Since the current mana did not meet the minimum standard for opening the space ring, Rhodes ignored it.
Put it away.
According to his habit of holding weapons with his right hand, in order to avoid the ring affecting the weapon during battle, Rhodes wore the space ring on his left index finger.
Then, Rhodes began to examine the pendant. The pendant was in the shape of a rhombus, with layers of yellowish and black cloth on the outside, which had been stained red by blood, and a hard object wrapped inside.
Unable to judge its function from its appearance, Rhodes looked at the system log.

Through the system log, Rhodes learned that this pendant was a hero-level pendant treasure. Pendant treasures usually come with some special bonuses.
Various bonus effects attached to the pendant may exist. The most practical effect is to increase the mana recovery per hour. The attached attributes generally have nothing to do with the direct strength in battle.
A player can equip up to three pendants at the same time. When the number of pendants exceeds three, the last pendant worn cannot have special effects and can only be used as a decoration.
Rhodes recalled that when three pendants are equipped at the same time, an achievement can be obtained.
After checking the properties of the pendant, just when Rhodes was about to close the system log, he noticed an inconspicuous place in the system log, which was the name of the original owner of the pendant.
"Elott..."
Rhodes had heard of this name in his previous life.
The hero Airot was active in the first few expansion packs of the game, and especially shined in the Death Shadow expansion pack.
The origin of Eliot is a mystery. No one knows his life experience. The earliest record of him can only be traced back to the Black Crow Necromancy Academy in Dia. He joined the battlefield as a necromancer, and it didn't take long for him to use his superb skills to
With his spells and ruthless methods, he became one of the most powerful undead lords at that time, and later disappeared when he had a premonition that the entire campaign was going to fail.
The information from the previous game flashed through Rhodes' mind, and Rhodes took a deep look at the mangled corpse of the apprentice on the ground.
The hero who was destined to achieve great things was killed by himself before he could grow up. He had more or less changed the plot trend in the game.
In other words, the plot that happened in the game in the previous life will generally not change, but it will not be reproduced exactly the same. My own game experience in the previous life can only be used as a reference, rather than blindly and completely believed. I will deal with it later.
Some tasks require more of your own judgment.
Looking at the pendant in his hand, Rhodes had some thoughts.
The bloodline perception attribute added by the pendant is of little use to ordinary people, but it is different for Rhodes who has a soul mission. Bloodline perception is an attribute that Rhodes needs to use.
Before, Rhodes was still worried about how to find traces of his sister Rowling. After obtaining this pendant, Rhodes can sense it as long as Rowling appears within a certain range around Rhodes.
Rhodes put on the pendant. The sense of blood connection needs to be effective within a certain range. Putting on the pendant did not make Rhodes feel anything.
Since Ellot's other items are stored in the space ring, Rhodes cannot open it with his current mana. He can only wait until his mana increases before trying again.
It's getting dark.
Perhaps it was due to the obstruction of the trees in the forest, or perhaps it was due to his concentration in the battle. When he was fighting the magic apprentice, Rhodes did not notice it at all. After he finished counting, he realized that it was difficult to see. When he looked up, the sky was already dark.
Turn dark.
Due to the fishy smell all around and the dim light inside the tomb, Rhodes returned to the tree trunk where he was observing the apprentice, preparing to meditate in order to obtain enough mana to activate the space ring.
