As early as in the game process of his previous life, Rhodes deeply understood that intelligence plays a vital role in the world. Whether it is doing business or fighting, before confirming a plan, sufficient intelligence support is needed.
Perhaps it is the influence of the Thieves Guild selling intelligence. Everyone in the game understands that intelligence itself has value and cannot be obtained out of thin air.
If you want to obtain information, you must either spend time and effort investigating it yourself, or spend gold coins to buy it from someone who knows the information.
Of course, except for the Thieves Guild, the information sold by the rest of the people may not be correct, and it is more likely to be completely wrong information, but it is more or less mixed with some useful information.
If Rhodes is unwilling to pay gold coins for information, he will definitely not be able to obtain this information from the maid, and can only get some basic information.
After accepting Rhode's gold coins, the maid gave the internal information of the Chamber of Commerce. For Rhodes at this time, it undoubtedly gave him an intuitive understanding of the strength of this merchant group.
Not long after, under the leadership of the maid, Rhodes and the vampire arrived at the headquarters of the Silver Seal Chamber of Commerce. The maid stepped forward first, said a few words to the guards stationed outside the caravan, and then turned and left.
After the maid left, since she already knew the general purpose of Rhode's visit, the guard led Rhode towards the interior of the station.
While walking through the entire station, Rhodes observed the situation inside the station.
Inside the station, most of the members are busy placing goods on the available carriages.
At a glance, Rhodes saw that most of the goods were sealed in wooden boxes, and he couldn't see clearly what was inside. The members of the Chamber of Commerce were struggling to transport the wooden boxes, but Rhodes listened carefully and could still hear
There was a sound of iron clashing inside the wooden box.
On the side, several people who looked like supervisors also noticed Rhodes' arrival, but they didn't say anything. They just looked at the guards leading Rhodes in front and continued to work on their hands.
While Rhodes was observing the surrounding environment, the guards led Rhodes to the largest tent in the camp.
The guard asked Rhodes to wait outside the camp, entered the tent and announced a few words, then walked out and motioned for Rhodes to enter.
Rhodes led the vampires into the camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, Rhodes keenly sensed that something was wrong. It wasn't that Rhodes felt dangerous, but the surrounding atmosphere made him feel very familiar.
The vampire also felt this way and started to feel a little restless. Rhodes used his spiritual imprint to calm it down and then observed the environment in the camp.
There are some sundries placed in the tent, but overall it is quite tidy. Perhaps it is not because of the permanent residence, but there are no tables in the tent, just a few chairs.
At this time, there was a person sitting on the chair facing the entrance of the camp, and Rhodes looked at him.
This man was dressed in civilian clothes, but the cloth could not hide his burly figure and resolute face. The scars carved by sharp weapons on his face told his past deeds. The whole person exuded an aura all the time.
Rhodes knew that based on the information provided by the maid, this person should be the leader of the business group, Yose.
The leader described by the maid has the strength of a senior warrior. According to Rhodes' understanding, the corresponding rank should be at the third level. A high-level warrior is equivalent to a formal mage, corresponding to the fourth level.
Looking at Rhodes entering the camp, the leader in front of him motioned Rhodes to sit down on a chair nearby.
After Rhodes took his seat, the leader took the lead and said to Rhodes: "I am User, the leader of the Silver Seal Merchant Group. I have heard from the previous guards that your purpose of coming here is to become a traveler and follow the merchants."
The group is heading to the City of Lament, right?"
Seeing Rhodes nodding, User continued: "You should have learned that except for our business group, not many business groups will go to the City of Lament recently, right?"
Rhodes continued to nod, and User added: "So, you two are both necromancers, right?"
Rhodes had no intention of concealing his identity as a necromancer. Rather than being discovered by the caster halfway, it would be better to let the other party know from the beginning. However, Rhodes had some doubts in his heart. Whether it was the veteran at the door or the merchant leader at this time,
Without mana detection, he could tell his identity as a necromancer just at a glance, so he asked:
"How did you know that we are necromancers? Based on our appearance alone, we should be dressed the same as thieves."
User smiled and said: "Hood and hem."
Before Rhodes could continue to ask, User continued: "Although thieves also wear black robes, for the convenience of fighting, the hem only reaches in front of the knees at most, unlike your black robes, which almost reach the insteps." p>
"As for the hood, thieves rely more on masks to hide their identities, and don't particularly rely on hoods. The hood behind the necromancer's robe is wider. Except for Diya, other places will not sell this style.
Black robe. These can be observed based on experience alone."
"What's more, you have an aura about you... that cannot be possessed by thieves. Based on these circumstances, isn't your identity as a necromancer ready to be revealed?"
Rhodes was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that just a black robe could hide this information. Since he was not a necromancer in his previous life, his previous game experience did not allow Rhodes to notice these details.
The game experience in the previous life did not cover all the knowledge in the game. This undoubtedly reminded Rhodes that if he paid attention to the difference in the black robe, he might not be able to observe it, but he relied too much on the experience in the previous life and ignored these details. What Rhode didn't expect was that he originally just asked a tentative question, thinking that User would fool him casually, but he actually told all the information.
Even if it is just information brought by experience, it is still of extremely high value to people who do not know.
Rhodes knew that the reason why User told this information was either because he wanted to overpower him in order to increase his travel expenses, or because he himself was a person who didn't care about these details.
However, for being able to achieve the position of business leader, Rhodes did not believe that he would be someone who would tell information at will. The purpose of doing so could only be to increase travel expenses.
Seeing that Rhodes seemed to be thinking about something, User continued: "Although I often deal with necromancers, my men may not accept it. It is a bit suspicious for two necromancers to want to go to Diya as tourists.
,so..."
User did not continue to speak, but looked at Rhodes, waiting for his answer.
Rhodes understood that if he didn't say something, this business group would not take him unless he paid a high price.
