"Lord Rhodes... I never thought you would return in such a way."
Soon, when Rhodes approached the island, he stopped again when he was blocked by a group of ships and dozens of fish monsters.
On one of the ships, which was made from the bones of giant creatures from the depths of the ocean and was several times larger than the fish monster, Death Knight Kane was looking at the giant coming from the depths of the ocean and said slowly.
On the way to the island, Vera notified Kane remotely of Rhode's appearance and everything that happened.
Rhodes noticed that what Vera used to contact Kane was a blue conch with a spiral pattern.
After Vera's introduction, Rhodes learned that this was a natural treasure discovered by the Necromancer from the depths of a certain sea area during his exploration of the ocean. If it hadn't been for the discovery of the Necromancer, this natural treasure would have been buried under the ocean for who knows how long.
This kind of conch exists in pairs. As long as you speak to one conch in the pair, the sound will be transmitted from the other conch. Therefore, it is called the sound-transmitting conch by other necromancers.
The number of sound-transmitting conches was small. The Necromancer searched all over the sea area and finally found hundreds of pairs of sound-transmitting conchs from the depths of the ocean. Under Rowling's arrangement, the sound-transmitting conchs were distributed to Rhodes' men. Important generals are used to better explore the ocean. Ordinary necromancers can also be exchanged for their contributions when exploring the ocean.
Compared to other necromancers, Rhodes understands the value of the sound-transmitting conch better, especially in terms of strategy. Once this natural treasure is used properly, it can achieve very sophisticated tactical coordination.
With the sound-transmitting conch, information that was originally delayed can be conveyed as soon as possible. This kind of treasure may not be so useful when placed in the water elemental plane. Once it is taken to the main plane, and in sufficient quantity, it can even affect the layout of the main plane.
Rhodes believed that people from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce would be very interested in this treasure.
Many times, the merchant groups of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce need to rely on the intelligence collected by the Thieves Guild to select goods and plan routes. A large part of the gold coins earned flow into the Thieves Guild. If there are a large number of sound-transmitting conchs, Many things become simpler.
If Rhodes brought this kind of treasure to the main plane, people from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce would even be willing to buy it in large quantities for thousands of gold coins each. Unfortunately, Rhodes had no such plan.
Looking at Kane, Rhodes had no intention of reminiscing with him and asked directly: "Where is An now?"
In the past, Rhodes used the Dark Word to give orders to Kane, and gained the death knight's complete loyalty. Kane will definitely execute Rhodes' orders meticulously.
"I have heard about your plan from Vera. An has been taken to the outskirts of the island by others and is waiting for your inquiry."
After Kane confirmed Rhodes' identity, he immediately ordered the surrounding ships to move out of the way, allowing Rhodes to board the island unimpeded.
"Kane, what are you waiting for? Didn't you hear Lord Rhodes' order? Bring that half-dragon up quickly!"
Returning to the island in the water elemental plane, Rhodes scanned the surroundings and saw the ancient teleportation monument at his feet, as well as the majestic palace in the distance.
Before Rhodes could say anything, Vera in the Pacey quickly screamed at the sound-transmitting conch as if she couldn't help it.
Vera's voice came from the conch in Kane's hand. Kane snorted and had no intention of replying, but waved behind him. Soon, An was brought over by several corpse witches.
Although it was brought about by semi-force, Kane was also concerned about the relationship between Ann and Rhodes, and had already cast a weight-reducing spell on her, and the corpse witch did not use strong methods.
Rhodes thought for a while, then spread his giant hand flat on the ground. Like Vera before, he transported An on his palm to the magic ship above his head.
Kane also took this opportunity to come to the Percy with An.
Looking at the monster in the center of the ship, An seemed a little confused. The dragon head above his head made several roars of unknown meaning. Vera came to Kane and told him the details that were not mentioned in the sound conch.
Listening to An's roar, Rhodes felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
There is no treasure on Rhodes that allows him to understand the dragon's words. The former traveler's sash is still in the space ring of Rhodes' body. If he could easily retrieve the body, Rhodes would go directly there early in the morning. Will you wait until now?
Instead of relying on treasures, Rhodes can only rely on the power of special skills, which means spending skill points to directly improve special skill linguistics.
According to Rhodes' understanding of linguistics, other languages different from the common language spoken by humanoid creatures are similar to the Krulod language spoken by barbarians, or the Elvish language spoken by Eli creatures, or even obsolete languages. Ancient Erasian, they are all about the same level of difficulty.
Elementary linguistics can allow people to identify the belongings of different languages and characters, but they cannot understand their meanings.
Intermediate linguistics allows people to barely understand the meaning of some words in a sentence, but it is also impossible to understand some sentences with complex grammar.
Advanced linguistics allows people to understand the full meaning of each word in a sentence, their vocabulary is greatly improved, and their grammar is also improved.
Only expert linguistics can truly master the languages of all humanoids and be able to communicate with most humanoids without any barriers.
The master-level linguistics covers all the accents of these languages. Even in any remote area in the deep main plane, one can communicate smoothly with the humanoid creatures there.
Linguistics brings together the essence of all languages. If ordinary creatures want to master this special skill, they need to patiently learn each language. It is like mastering wisdom. If you only master two or three languages, it is impossible to improve the level of this special skill.
Rhodes, on the other hand, can rely on the help of the system to directly learn this special skill with skill points, eliminating the need for years of research.
Any special skill has its own usage. Although linguistics cannot directly improve Rhodes' strength, it can bring great convenience in many places.
Of course, there is only one prerequisite for the above linguistic classification, and that is that the language is spoken by humanoid creatures. Whether it is barbarians, elves, or even ogres and giants, they can all be counted as humanoid creatures. category.
If it is replaced by the roar of animals, or a language that is not in the same frequency as the human ear, there are higher requirements for linguistic level.
