In Rhode's perception, the city lord also hid a large part of his strength, and his real strength was no weaker than the palace mage he had originally met.
Even so, the city lord still showed no resistance and took the initiative to hand over the treasure to Rhodes, as if the shield in Rhode's hand was not an artifact part, but an ordinary treasure.
Although Rhodes was very surprised by what the city lord did, he did not express it. After getting the shield, Rhodes continued to chat with the city lord for a few words and then left towards the rear.
At this time, Rhodes' eyes also turned to the shield in his hand.
Special attributes: Completely resistant to damaging magic with a basic damage of less than 120.
Evaluation: It seems like a very common shield, but it can effectively defend against magic attacks. If you know enough, you may be able to get hints from the patterns on the shield.
…………
Even if it is only one of the components of the artifact, this shield is still very powerful. Rhodes knows that if all the components of the artifact can be collected, the "Titan's Arrow" will reveal its true role.
Putting the Guardian Shield into the space ring, Rhodes' collection of artifacts can be considered completed this time. In Rhode's perception, the remaining parts of the artifacts are located far away from him and cannot be collected for the time being. p>
Through the location prompts in the mental imprint, Rhodes quickly walked towards Rowling's location.
At this time, Rhodes seemed to have sensed the message prompted by the centaur leader and vampire. Rhodes noticed that there should have been a battle on Rowling's side, but there was no loss.
Not knowing the specific situation, Rhodes quickly walked towards Rowling's location.
Not long after, Rhodes walked out of the inner city gate and came to the streets of the outer city. Through the perception from the spiritual imprint, Rhodes knew that Rowling and her party should stay here and wait.
After the battle, in order to ensure Rowling's safety, and at this time Rhodes also obtained the Patronus Shield he needed, Rowling did not let Rowling move forward, but stayed here, waiting for Rhodes' arrival.
.
Not long after, Rhodes came to Rowling and her party. Rhodes noticed that many surrounding houses had collapsed, and there were traces of a large number of creatures leaving. Obviously, this battle was not as simple as he imagined.
.
Looking at Rowling in front of her, before Rhodes could ask, Rowling said to Rhodes:
"Rhode, can you help me kill someone?"
Hearing Rowling's question, Rhodes was a little surprised. He didn't expect Rowling to make such a request.
Through this period of contact, Rhodes can be regarded as fully understanding Rowling's character. In Rhodes' view, Rowling is still somewhat kind-hearted. It is hard to imagine that Rowling would ask him to kill someone.
Rhodes asked: "Who do you want me to help you kill?"
"A necromancer named Sepp, he should have a considerable status in the city."
Hearing Sepp's name, Rhodes immediately knew who Rowling was referring to, but he had no idea why she did this.
In the process of obtaining the treasure, through the concentration of death energy in Sepp's body and the strength he displayed, Rhodes knew clearly that he was not a fake.
Rhodes wanted to know that Sepp's real body had been talking to him in the city, and when did he offend Rowling.
Seeing that Rhodes did not reply, but looked at herself, Rowling explained: "I learned from a hero that the creatures living in the outer city, the kind of creatures that scared me at first, are actually made of ordinary people.
People change."
"These ordinary people became like this after the vitality was extracted from their bodies. They could only stay in the city and wait to die. And all of this was done by Sepp."
After saying that, as if she had thought of something, there was obvious anger on Rowling's face. Rowling knew that as long as Rhodes agreed, she would be able to fulfill her promise, kill Sepp, and rescue these people in the city at the same time. After learning Rowling's reasons, Rhodes' face clearly showed some disappointment, but he still replied: "If it's just for this reason, please forgive me for refusing."
After Rhodes refused, Rowling seemed extremely puzzled. She obviously did not expect that Rhodes would reject her, and immediately asked: "Rod, don't you want to rescue these people in the city?"
Rhodes replied calmly: "It makes no sense. These creatures are weak and not even qualified to become undead creatures. I don't need their allegiance. The current time is not suitable for fighting here."
"For what reason do you want to rescue them? Is it just because of the pity in your heart? Or can saving them improve your own strength?"
After listening to Rhodes' words, Rowling was silent for a while. She didn't know how to answer. In the end, she could only tell everything to Rhodes:
"Before, a hero told me all this, which is the origin of these creatures. I promised that hero that I would kill the Necromancer Sepp for him..."
Before Rowling could finish speaking, Rhodes immediately interrupted: "If it's just a promise of this level, it doesn't need to be kept."
As if thinking of something, Rhodes continued:
"Promises are also divided into categories. If it is a promise to other people, you need to get corresponding rewards. Just as you promised to kill the Necromancer for him, then he also needs to provide you with an equivalent reward. It is not just a few words of information.
Yes."
"This type of commitment is only related by interests. If you think that the reward you get is not worthy of your compliance, you can break it at any time. You just treat this promise as if it never existed from the beginning."
After hearing what Rhodes said, Rowling was stunned. Obviously, because of Rhodes' identity, what he said had a greater impact on Rowling.
After saying that, the centaur leader leaned down, and Rhodes gestured to Rowling, preparing to leave. At this time, Rhodes suddenly noticed Rowling's eyes.
Rowling didn't make any move, and still stood there. At this time, Rowling's eyes turned red again, looking extremely aggrieved, and she just looked at Rhodes.
Realizing Rowling's state at this time, Rhodes knew that maybe he was too harsh on her, maybe he shouldn't deny her promise easily, and shouldn't impose his own experience on her.
In this regard, Rhodes could only let out a long sigh.
"These are just my opinions. If you feel that this promise is really important and you will feel bad if you don't fulfill it, then this promise is no longer a promise you make to others, but a promise you make to yourself. Then you will
Try your best to finish it. If you can't finish it, I will finish it for you."
In the sky, the figure of the ghost dragon appeared. It seemed that just waiting for Rhodes' order, it would immediately breathe out the ghost dragon's breath and attack Warren City.
