Sensing the sudden burst of mana fluctuations not far away, both Rhodes and Vera were shocked.
The emergence of mana fluctuations, especially when Vera had just escaped not long ago, was not a good omen and was enough to keep the two of them on full alert.
"It's them!" Vera whispered: "They must be the enemies in the Quiet City. They knew that I was escaping along the upper reaches of the Milis River, so they sent people to pursue me."
"Those hateful elves really thought I was running away. I will let them have a taste of my power." Vera said angrily.
However, Rhodes raised his hand to stop Vera's move: "You didn't clean up the area around Milis River, did you?"
Vera nodded: "I felt that the intention of clearing out all the creatures near the river was too obvious, so I didn't do it. I just let the Corpse Witch lurk from the water to the Quiet City."
Rhodes moved his gaze to the direction where the mana fluctuation came from: "That's right, the person who caused this mana fluctuation is not necessarily the chasing enemy, but also other creatures, no matter what kind of creature they are. None of it should be happening at this time.”
Mana fluctuations originate from the use of magic. In addition to mages, some high-level animals also have good spell-casting abilities and can cause strong mana fluctuations.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
With that said, Rhodes walked towards the forest where the mana fluctuations came from, while Vera followed behind. The Corpse Witch was still lurking at the bottom of the river and did not follow the two of them.
During the march, Rhodes suddenly felt a sense of voyeurism in his heart. He seemed to be being watched by some kind of creature, and his every move was watched by it.
Feeling the abnormality appearing on his body, Rhodes continued walking deeper into the forest without stopping.
After a while, a small wooden house appeared inside the dense jungle.
Different from the tree houses that elves like to build, the wooden house in front of me sits smoothly on the ground, with a layer of thatch scattered on the roof. Outside the wooden house, there are large areas of mushrooms of different types planted, the colors are extremely bright, and the soil has traces of fresh plowing.
"Master, do you smell it?" Vera on the side said solemnly, while Rhodes felt confused.
Due to the characteristics of the body itself, Rhodes at this time did not maintain a human form and was unable to distinguish the smell around him. After hearing what Vera said, Rhodes realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
Fortunately, at this time, Rhodes had mastered a variety of secret techniques, including the aromatic secret technique that allowed him to distinguish smells. Rhodes used it immediately, and in an instant, the perception of a variety of scents appeared in Rhodes' mind.
Rhodes noticed that the smell around the wooden house, in addition to the hard-to-dissipate smell of blood, also had the unique stench of rotting corpses. For necromancers, this smell is the most familiar thing to them. Why? Nor can it be forgotten.
"Do you know what's going on here?" Rhodes asked in a deep voice. The wooden house in front of him looked extremely weird, and it didn't look like those elves in any way.
"I don't know. Please also ask the master to release the cloud of death and erase everything here." Vera said quickly.
However, Rhodes did not do this. Looking at the wooden house in front of him, Rhodes seemed to remember something. The environment here made Rhodes guess the rank of the owner of the wooden house.
While Rhodes was observing the wooden house in front of him, the door of the wooden house slowly opened, and a woman in gray clothes was walking out, dragging a huge cloth bag.
"You two just keep watching there, or do you want to come over and help me?" A hoarse voice suddenly came from the front of the wooden house.
"...Master, is she talking about us?" Vera asked Rhodes in surprise.
Ignoring Vera who was standing beside him, Rhodes approached the wooden house first.
Rhodes could vaguely feel a threat from the woman in gray, which was far less intense than when he faced the giant dragon in the Kingdom of Dragons. However, Rhodes still did not relax his vigilance, and the Peeping Eye could not take effect on her. Her level is at least level five.
As the distance got closer, the appearance of the woman in gray appeared completely in Rhodes' sight. Her skin was loose, wrinkled, and seemed to have lost its vitality, with dark spots all over her face.
What concerned Rhodes the most was her eyes, where there was only darkness, no eyelids, no eyeballs, just a deep darkness that made it difficult to look away at a glance.
From her body, Rhodes could feel a sense of gaze. Apparently, she was looking at Rhodes in her own unique way.
Similar to the old woman in gray, Rhodes in the form of a skeleton also does not have conventional eyeballs. The soul fire in the eye sockets replaces the functions of various organs, allowing Rhodes to still be able to see things in the outside world, but he does not know The old woman in gray in front of her used some method to see Rhodes in front of her.
Seeing the appearance of the old woman in gray, Rhodes at this time also confirmed her rank.
Not only her appearance, but also the unique environment around the wooden house and the abnormalities that Rhodes vaguely sensed were all telling him that the old woman in gray in front of him was a higher-level sorcerer. division.
The secret skills mastered by magicians make them have a poor image in the eyes of other creatures, and can even be called weird. Ordinary creatures have always tried their best to avoid being related to magicians. Magicians, like necromancers, are a kind of Unknown symbol.
Since the magicians originated from the former Brakada, most of the magicians, while mastering the secret arts, also practice some practical spells. When the magicians do not display the secret skills, they look like ordinary magicians. Not much difference.
In order to avoid confusion about their identity, magicians living on the surface world have their own exclusive titles, witches and wizards. The old woman in gray clothes in front of her can even be called a witch. Of course, in the mouths of most ordinary creatures, this title is not an honorific at all.
Different regions have different attitudes towards sorcerers. Bracada and Erathia have always not welcomed the arrival of sorcerers. Brakada expelled the sorcerers in their territory, while Erathia directly executed the sorcerers whose identities were exposed. division.
Only Eli welcomes the arrival of magicians. Magicians can live openly and openly in Eli. This is also a scene that is difficult to see in other areas.
The elves in Eli have always been very tolerant of the creatures that come to this dense forest. Whether they are humans or alien creatures in the eyes of other creatures, they can all settle in the dense forest. Of course, except for the necromancers, whether they are No force of any kind will allow the existence of the Necromancer.
