Rhodes noticed that the streets in the city were extremely messy, with leftover food scraps and incomplete debris everywhere, and the entire city was shrouded in a strange smell.
Even in Diya, where the necromancer lives, the city is not so messy and can still maintain the most basic order. The situation in front of him deeply surprised Rhodes.
"What happened here?" Looking at Bisha aside, Rhodes asked, "Why does this place look so chaotic?"
Bisha replied: "This is a trace left after the harvest festival celebration. The residents of the city are still immersed in the joy of the harvest festival and do not care about these messy scenes."
Rhodes nodded. From Bisha's previous words, he had also heard about the Harvest Festival.
In ancient Erathia, the Harvest Festival was a crucial festival. On this day every year, people would burnt sacrifices of cattle and sheep to the gods and offer elaborate delicacies to pray for God's blessing and grace.
This tradition has been passed down to the era of Rhodes. Even in the era of Rhodes's body, the influence of the Holy See has been extremely weakened and no longer has the supreme status. People will still hold celebrations for the Harvest Festival and work together.
Have a fun time.
In the game of Rhodes' previous life, the Harvest Festival was also an important game event. Various tasks would appear around the Harvest Festival every year. Even the Necromancer would temporarily put aside his hatred and let everything wait.
This will be done after the Harvest Festival.
At this time, Rhodes took a deep look at Bisha, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
The residents of the city planned to burn her as a sacrifice to bring the atmosphere of the harvest festival to its peak. She might have done something bad before that.
Without saying a word, Rhodes followed Bisha. She seemed very familiar with everything in the city and kept walking along the path. Soon, she led Rhodes to a large courtyard.
"This is Samson's residence... He will not come back before nightfall. He is either practicing his swordsmanship at the training ground in the city or arranging other swordsmen to patrol. We have enough time." Bisha pursed her lips and said in a deep voice.
said.
"How do you know so clearly?" Rhodes asked in surprise.
"Because I used to live here before everything happened." She stretched out her hand and gently touched the wooden door, with a sad look in her eyes.
Under Rhode's gaze, she squatted down and rummaged through the flower bed at the door. Soon, she found a key.
The door of the residence was opened, but Rhodes frowned slightly. Judging from Bisha's performance, she should have some kind of unusual relationship with the high-level swordsman.
Arriving in the room, before Rhodes could observe the environment around the courtyard, Bisha got busy and started to lay out traps using the things inside.
Seeing this, Rhodes also took the initiative to help.
The first thing the two prepared was the simplest ground stab trap.
Dig a deep pit on the ground in front of the courtyard, insert a sharp weapon underneath, and the simple trap is completed.
"Do you think such a trap can work on a high-level swordsman? That is an epic-level creature, how could it fall into such a trap?"
Looking at the trap that was so crude that even animals without intelligence could hardly fall into it, Rhodes curled his lips and showed doubts in his eyes.
"It will work." Bisha said firmly, "Samson can only perceive moving things, and his attention is all on living things. For those things that are forbidden to move, he can easily remove them.
Ignore."
"Okay. If the trap fails, I am not completely sure of dealing with that high-level swordsman. At that time, maybe I can only leave you behind." Rhodes said casually.
Bisha shook her head, with a special look in her eyes: "I will definitely kill him, even if I give up my own life..."
From this heretic, Rhodes felt her will. Her will was very tenacious, but it was not strong enough to become a hero.
Rhodes didn't know what happened to her, but it was obvious that she was related to the high-level swordsman, so he immediately said: "Then you'd better set up more traps."
With the help of Rhodes, they set up several ground thorn traps in the courtyard, involving every road in the courtyard. No matter how Samson traveled, he could not avoid these traps.
"Can't Samson see it? Is it necessary to lay a layer of cloth on top?" After seeing the traps completed, Bisha seemed a little worried. A layer of fine linen cloth was spread on the top of each trap.
It also surprised Rhodes.
Bisha shook her head and said with some worry: "Although he cannot see, he can detect the surrounding terrain through the wind flowing nearby. I am worried that the existence of these traps will change the sound of the wind, thus arousing his alertness.
”
Rhodes nodded. After hearing what Bisha said, he also realized the necessity of this arrangement.
At this moment, even Rhodes couldn't help but lament how difficult it would be to deal with a high-level swordsman paired with the legendary Eagle Eye Technique. If Samson hadn't gone blind, his strength would have been even greater.
Powerful.
Fortunately, the mission in the illusion will not end in a dead end at the beginning. Rhodes believes that based on his current strength, the most powerful person in the illusion is Samson's level.
As for whether stronger enemies will appear in the later stages of the mission, Rhodes cannot guarantee that he can only complete the mission as soon as possible.
"I know where some hunters live nearby. I'll go over there and get some animal traps." Bisha proactively suggested.
After saying that, Bisha left the courtyard first, leaving Rhodes alone here.
After completing the trap arrangement, all Rhodes needed to do was to wait quietly for Samson's arrival.
While waiting, Rhodes' attention also turned to the houses behind the courtyard. He immediately searched the houses to see if he could find anything that could be used to deal with high-level swordsmen.
Soon, Rhodes found the high-level swordsman's bedroom, which was covered with exquisite mattresses and blankets.
He searched the room, not missing any corner. Unfortunately, Rhodes did not find any important props. Instead, he found several heavy iron swords.
Shaking his head, Rhodes searched even the corners of the closet, but he still couldn't find anything that could be used to deal with the high-level swordsman.
Just when Rhodes was about to give up, his eyes couldn't help but be deeply attracted to something in the closet, and he couldn't look away for a while.
