Following Els's action, a series of incredible changes occurred around Rhodes.
Rhodes noticed that in front of him, Els' body was no longer real. At the same time, the surrounding space began to distort, and the originally bright light and the figures in the Thieves Guild began to blur.
Facing the abnormal situation, Rhodes' first reaction was that Els used a spell that he didn't understand.
At this time, Rhodes tried to sense the surrounding mana fluctuations, but even if Rhodes raised his perception to the maximum, he could not detect any traces of magic elements from all around.
Fortunately, Rhodes' perception did not send any warning to Rhodes. Even if there were changes in the surroundings that Rhodes could not understand, Rhodes was not in any danger for the time being.
In order to understand Els' purpose, Rhodes did not act rashly, but stopped and observed. But just as Rhodes was in a daze, the surrounding space instantly returned to normal.
Rhodes quickly looked around and finally determined his location. He was still at the door of the Thieves Guild, but it seemed different in some places.
Rhodes noticed that not far away in the Thieves Guild, a thief dressed in a light-colored mage robe was processing a task and listening to the information given by the mage.
After discovering this situation, Rhodes was stunned for a moment. In Rhodes' memory, he just wanted to come to the thief and issue a mission about the Taita Armor just like other mages.
However, when Rhodes was about to release the mission and noticed something strange about the thief, the thief turned into Els who had lost his disguise.
Regarding the appearance of Els, Rhodes did not feel anything unusual at the time. Even if he could not sense any mana fluctuations, Rhodes only thought that this was a unique skill of high-level mage. In this case, Rhodes De even struck a deal with Els.
At this time, when Rhodes noticed the current thief, he was surprised to find that this thief had no relationship with Els.
Facing this thief, Rhodes' peeping eyes came into play. From the information obtained from the thief's heart, Rhodes confirmed that he was a real thief and not a disguised person from Els. .
After discovering this, Rhodes carefully observed the surroundings and finally discovered more abnormalities in the subtleties within the Thieves Guild.
There are many people in the Thieves Guild, but when Rhodes was talking to Els, no one else was seen.
Els, who had made a deal with Rhodes before, seemed to appear out of thin air. Now, Rhodes can't find any trace of his existence. It's even difficult to judge whether the transaction is really established. But Rhodes could clearly remember the details of the transaction, and even the refining materials he mentioned.
However, based on his previous knowledge of magic, Rhodes roughly understood what was going on.
Rhodes realized that Els had indeed found him before and had settled on the contents of this transaction with him.
The method Els used was not the disguise method he thought at first, but a spiritual spell with a more powerful effect.
Among spiritual spells, the most common is the third-level bewitchment, which can guide the thoughts in the minds of intelligent creatures to a large extent.
Among these spells, there are also many spells that confuse the state of the mage and make him fall into an illusion. However, only a few mages can master the spells that penetrate deeply into the sea of spirits.
Rhodes realized that he had been hit by such a spell before. The location where the previous transaction occurred was not within the Thieves Guild, but in Rhodes' mind.
The scenes that Rhodes experienced before all came from within the Thieves Guild. Whether it was the thief disguised by Els in the scene or the people around him, they were all real and were seen by Rhodes. However, when Rhodes was affected by Els's spell, he instantly fell into his own thoughts.
What frightened Rhodes was that in this state, his body's defenses were at a minimum. If Els planned to kill him, he would have no power to resist. At the same time, no warning came from his heart.
If Els hadn't taken the initiative to lift this spiritual spell after the deal was concluded, Rhodes wouldn't even have been able to discover this.
After realizing this, Rhodes could only blame himself for being too careless.
In previous games, in order to deal with such hard-to-detect spiritual spells, mages often equipped themselves with special pendants to improve their resistance to such spells.
Compared with conventional damage spells, this kind of spell that can affect the mind is more difficult to defend against.
Rhodes also had a treasure that could break this spell, but at the time, Rhodes didn't realize that he was under the influence of the spell, and instead made a deal with Els.
At this time, Rhodes once again felt the power of Master Brakada. Rhodes knew that Els had no intention of harming him, but even in this case, the spells he cast, Rhodes Difficult to deal with.
Just in Ice Blue Magic Academy, the effect of the hidden emblem originally given to Rhodes by the Spirit Society has been greatly weakened. Facing those powerful mages, the hidden emblem alone cannot effectively hide the identity. .
Regarding this point, Rhodes could only place his hope on the Spiritual Association, hoping that the Spiritual Association could contact him in time and provide more powerful treasures.
In terms of status, Rhodes at this time can still be regarded as a necromancer belonging to the Soul Society.
Recalling Els' previous words, Rhodes also noticed something unusual.
Els didn't seem to have any interest in the deal proposed by Rhodes regarding the perfect potion. Even if he wanted to collect Titan armor for himself, Els' request was that he provide the refining materials and hand them over to Rhodes. De is refined.
Rhodes knew that it was impossible for Els not to be tempted by the perfect potion. His behavior could only mean that he had obtained the potion that he had refined in the second stage of the rematch and used it.
Although Rhodes was a little surprised by this, he still accepted it.
After the transaction with Els, Rhodes couldn't arouse any interest in collecting potions, so he returned to his residence.
