Chapter 251 Mother of the Dead

If Sepp was just a small character with little power, Rhodes would help Rowling to kill him, and would not refuse at all.

However, Rhodes knew through his own perception that Sepp's strength was not weak, not to mention that according to the current situation, Rhodes was not suitable to stay in Dianey.

From Sepp's attitude towards himself, Rhodes clearly felt the anomaly. Even if he loses, Sepp will not greet him with this attitude, or even hand over the treasure directly to him.

Sepp emphasized his identity, and Rhode knew that there must be something happening that he didn't know about.

However, if it was Rowling's strong request, Rhodes would not refuse.

For things like killing people and ruining the city, Rhode does not have any burden. Even if Sepp gave him the treasure before, if the battle starts, Rhode will not have any mercy for Sepp. On the contrary, Luo De will also rejoice at the increased strength.

Unlike Rowling, who needs a clear reason for doing things, Rhode did all this just to improve his strength.

Therefore, even starting a war with Wallen City, to a certain extent, is in line with Rhodes' expectations, but this time may not be suitable for fighting.

It all depends on Rowling's wishes. For Rhodes, it doesn't matter whether he wants to fight here or not.

However, when Rhode noticed Rowling's expression, Rhode stopped the ghost dragon in the sky.

Knowing that Rhodes was finally willing to take action for himself and captured the town, Rowling was suddenly silent.

For a while, Rowling didn't say anything, but started a fierce ideological struggle in her heart. Her eyes also didn't know where to look, but she just kept glancing around, as if she could make a decision for her.

During the time when the ghost dragon appeared, there was also a response in Valen City. Rhode noticed that a large amount of black smoke was being produced in the sky in the city at this time.

The smoke rose into the sky, and after reaching a certain height, it stopped rising, but quickly spread around, covering most of the entire sky in a blink of an eye.

These black clouds that appear around are naturally the dark sky of Valen City. Due to maintaining the existence of the dark sky, it needs to consume a lot of energy. For Valen City, where there is no magic guild, the consumption of the dark sky naturally needs to be borne by the city owner.

Since there were not many visitors, Wallen City did not maintain the existence of the dark sky all the time.

Only when he noticed the ghost dragon in the sky and Rhode's possible intention to attack, did he open the dark sky voluntarily.

Noticing this, Rhode looked at Rowling again, hoping that she could make a decision quickly. Since his side is completely exposed to the enemy's sight, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for Rhodes.

At this time, Rowling has also made a choice, her eyes are extremely firm.

Seeing Rhodes looking in his direction, Rowling said, "Brother, no need, let's go."

Feeling the change in Rowling, Rhode did not reply for a while, but just looked at Rowling like this, as if he wanted to get an answer from her.

"This is my own promise to the hero, and I shouldn't force you to help. This is my promise..."

As if remembering what Rhodes said earlier, Rowling's tone was extremely firm at this time.

Looking at Rowling in this state, Rhode knew that she had grown a lot in this experience, but what she had learned did not seem to be what she taught.

Rhode shook his head gently and said, "If you think about it clearly at first, it seems a bit late now."

With that said, Rhodes looked aside.

Rowling followed Rhodes' line of sight, but only saw a piece of ruins. These ruins were all left over from the previous battle, and Rowling didn't understand the significance of Rhodes looking here.

Soon, Rowling discovered the abnormality. In this position, there are some mana fluctuations. If you observe it with the naked eye, you can't see anything.

It seems that the movements of Rhodes and Rowling have been discovered. With a relatively obvious mana fluctuation, in the ruins, a person dressed as a thief no longer hides, but directly shows his figure.

At this point, the thief said, "Hand over the mother of the dead."

The thief didn't have any extra words, his tone was not like discussing with Rhodes, but a direct threat, but Rhodes didn't respond.

Seeing that Rhodes seemed unmoved, the thief made a silent gesture towards Rhodes and walked in the direction of Rhodes.

What the thief didn't know was that Rhodes didn't understand what he meant.

In Rhodes' memory, the Mother of Souls should be the highest quality Soul Crystal, and it is also an important item for top necromancers to complete the endless night ritual.

Once the death energy released by the Mother of Souls is absorbed, the quality of the Endless Night Ritual will be improved by a notch for top necromancers.

Listening to the thief's tone, it was obvious that he had the Mother of Souls in his hands, but Rhode did not know the existence of the Mother of Souls, let alone possessed it.

Rhode knew that no matter how he explained it, the thief would not believe it. Since he dared to appear in front of him, he obviously had full confidence.

Rhodes could not confirm whether the existence of this thief had anything to do with Sepp in Valen City, but it was too late to think about it at this time.

As the thief slowly approached Rhodes, the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes also reacted for the first time.

Under Rhode's signal, the centaur leader pulled Rowling aside, always paying attention to protect Rowling, while the vampire rushed directly towards the thief's position.

Looking at the vampire rushing straight towards him, the thief was unmoved, and even his walking pace did not change, still maintaining a uniform speed, heading towards Rhodes' position.

Seeing that the distance was close, the vampire grabbed the thief with a single claw, but only caught a dissipated afterimage.

At this time, a wave of mana fluctuations suddenly occurred behind Rhodes, and the original walking thief appeared directly behind Rhodes.

As soon as the thief appeared, a titan arrow flashing electric light shot towards his position.

The thief did not expect Rhodes' reaction and was directly hit by the Titan's arrow, but as the purple amulet hanging on his body flashed, a purple protective shield appeared in front of him.

The explosion created by the Titan's Arrow was completely neutralized by the shield created by this purple talisman. But the price was that the purple amulet disintegrated directly and scattered from the thief's body.
