In Rhode's perception, the hostility coming from Northam was undoubtedly the strongest.
Compared with other mages around him, the hostility in Noson was extremely obvious, even reaching a higher level of hatred.
This made Rhodes very confused. What Rhodes didn't know was whether his identity as a necromancer offended him, or whether Northam had some grudge against the necromancer in the past, which led to such strong hostility.
Even for Eli, who revealed his identity as a necromancer, Rhodes didn't feel any hostility from him, but he could feel it from Northam.
Due to the huge difference in rank, it was difficult for Rhodes to get any news from Eli even if he was also in the demon banning ceremony. Perhaps this was also related to Eli not showing his true thoughts, but Rhodes could feel obvious hostility from Northam.
At this time, Eli was arguing with the necromancer, trying to refute the necromancer's point that there was no problem with necromancy itself.
After Rhodes said those words, Eli began to argue with the necromancer. Although other mages around him could not accept Rhodes' identity in a short time, except for a few mages, they still paid attention to Rhodes. In addition, the other mages turned their gazes to the necromancer who was arguing with Eli.
This mage faced the leader of the magic guild, Eli, who was extremely powerful in his own right, and showed no timidity when expressing his views on the necromancer.
Perhaps it is the existence of the magic ban ritual that prevents this mage from personally feeling Eli's power, or perhaps it is due to the mage's own personality. Even if there is a large gap in strength, this mage can still Speak your thoughts completely.
Most of the mages on the entire airship were attracted by the conversation between them, but there were still a few mages who were not.
Because the focus of the mages is different, some mages may be easily attracted by the information about the necromancer, while some mages are unmoved and still pay attention to the object of their original concern.
Among these few mages, Rhodes is one of them. At this time, Rhodes' eyes were looking at a mage who was in the middle of a magic banning ceremony. This mage is none other than Northen, who is extremely hostile to Rhodes.
After Rhodes revealed his identity as a necromancer, Northam's gaze has been lingering on Rhodes. No situation around him seemed to be able to affect Northam's sight.
When he noticed Northen's state, Rhodes gradually discovered some abnormalities. The intensity of this hostility was extraordinary. If it weren't for the magic ban ritual, Rhodes wouldn't be surprised even if Northam directly casts a spell to attack him.
Rhodes had only seen this look from Northen on a few enemies, and all of those enemies eventually fought with Rhodes. Although he didn't understand why Northen had such a change, Rhodes had begun to care about Northen's every move.
For Rhodes, after receiving the artifact parts as a reward, the goal of this potion competition has been achieved. At this time, what Rhodes hoped for most was to escape from the airship smoothly.
Although he had received the championship reward of the potion competition, which was the amulet that could mobilize the magic elements on the entire airship, Rhodes still knew clearly that it was not the time to be careless yet.
Since he was still on the airship, and due to a series of actions by the third ranked necromancer, his identity was also exposed. At this time, Rhodes was still not safe.
On this airship, Rhodes did not know the existence of these mages around him and what kind of attitude they had towards the existence of the necromancer, so he had no intention of revealing his identity as the necromancer.
In Rhodes' view, it is undoubtedly an extremely risky thing to directly reveal the identity of one's own necromancer, similar to the third ranked necromancer.
Even though he accepted the mission regarding the Spirit Society before boarding the airship, Rhodes did not intend to take the risk. If the third ranked Necromancer hadn't proactively revealed his identity, perhaps the mages here wouldn't have known Rhode's true identity until they left the airship.
If you want to convince these high-level mages on the airship, you can't just get a higher ranking in this potion competition. You must have enough reasons to convince them and change their views on the necromancer. Especially those mages who exist in magic guilds.
In this case, even if the Necromancer reveals his identity and even gives sufficient reasons, he may not be able to convince those mages. What awaits the Necromancer may not be a good result.
As for the tasks related to the Spirit Society, under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing to complete them. If Rhodes tries to be like this necromancer, it may have some counter-effects.
However, for this necromancer, what he hopes to achieve, which is to increase the influence of the necromancer, can be achieved through this method.
Perhaps what this necromancer said cannot change the views of those high-level mages on necromancers, but it can directly change the views of those mages who are not high-ranking and do not have a deep understanding of necromancers. Being able to do this, this mage can be regarded as completing his mission.
If this necromancer can successfully convince Eli, he will have successfully completed the task assigned by the Soul Society, and he and the other necromancers on the airship will be able to successfully leave the airship and receive awards from the Soul Society.
And once he fails, not only will he be punished by the magic guild, but even the reward he just won from the potion competition will be withdrawn.
In this mage's mind, he may have expected this result, or he may have planned to increase the influence of the necromancer in this way.
From the beginning, this was the attitude of the Spirit Society towards these necromancers who came to the airship.
When Rhodes realized what the necromancer had done, his first thought was how to protect himself and escape from the airship smoothly.
At this time, seeing that the argument between the necromancer and Eli was getting more and more intense, perhaps the outcome would be revealed between the two in a short time. Coupled with the growing hostility from Northen beside him, Rhodes knew , I also need to take action.
