Outside the room, an elf was waiting here. It was the elf swordsman that Rhodes saw yesterday.
Seeing Rhodes walking out of the room, the Elf Swordsman immediately stepped forward and said to Rhodes: "We have confirmed the situation in Saou Village. We arranged for you to sleep here for the night last night. I am really embarrassed."
As he spoke, the elf swordsman in front of him looked a little apologetic.
Taking this situation into his eyes, Rhodes knew that this elf did not have much experience in contact with outsiders. Even the more powerful Necromancer apprentices know not to let their expressions show easily.
Rhodes replied: "I'm used to this kind of life, but I need to thank you for letting me enter the village to rest."
After hearing this, the Elf Swordsman waved his hands one after another. After a moment, he said to Rhodes: "This is nothing. Necromancers are rampant in our homeland. We should join forces to resist these necromancers."
Rhodes lowered his head and said slowly: "It's just a pity that in my previous village, due to the necromancer's plunder, all the villagers have..."
Having said this, Rhodes did not say any more.
After hearing this, the elf swordsman in front of him seemed to have thought of the fate of those villagers, and his eyes dimmed as he said, "If they could evacuate early, maybe this wouldn't happen... The large villages and towns nearby should all have... Take in the fleeing villagers.”
After listening, Rhodes shook his head and continued: "Even if you can escape here alive, what's the use? If you just stick to the village, you will always be attacked by more powerful necromancers. At that time, maybe the professionals will still be able to escape." They can escape first, but these refugees without any abilities can only be transformed into undead creatures."
The elf swordsman immediately replied: "No! In a few days, the royal court mage will arrive here, establish a gate of time and space, and help the residents in the city leave."
Hearing the words of the elf swordsman in front of him, Rhodes' eyes shrank unnaturally. Fortunately, the elf swordsman didn't react at all, obviously not noticing this.
The court mage who can establish the gate of time and space...
Realizing this, Rhodes understood the enemy's rank.
Since he was a mage in his previous life, Rhodes certainly knew the fourth-level spell of the Gate of Time and Space. The Gate of Time and Space can connect to distant towns and transfer residents there.
The Gate of Time and Space already belongs to the fourth level of magic, and the strength of the elf mage who can cast the Gate of Time and Space has probably reached the fifth level!
Rhodes knew that once a fifth-level mage appeared in front of him, he could easily detect the flow of mana in his body by just observing him. In other words, at that time, his existence would be completely exposed.
The fifth-level elf mage is not at the same level as the elf who originally probed him. With the current strength, Rhodes is no match for the fifth-level mage. Once that time comes, Rhodes' plan will completely fail.
For this reason, Rhodes could only hope that his mana would recover as soon as possible and complete the task before the elf mage arrived.
Through previous conversations, Rhodes knew that the elf swordsman in front of him would not fabricate a court mage to deceive him, so what he said should be true.
Although he was aware of this, Rhodes did not show any unusual expression, and just nodded, understanding what the elf swordsman said.
Rhodes and the Elf Swordsman continued to chat for a while. During the chat, Rhodes learned that the elf swordsman's name was Ivor.
After chatting for a while, Ivor took the initiative and suggested to Rhodes: "Let me take you around the village. Maybe the necromancer will attack the village when the time comes. I hope you can help me."
After hearing this, Rhodes did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Ivor and confirmed that he really wanted to lead him to check the village, so he nodded.
Rhodes knew that according to his current identity, deliberately shirking Ivor's suggestion would have the opposite effect, so it would be better to agree directly.
What's more, these elves chose to let themselves enter the village in order to have an extra helper when the necromancer attacked. At this time, they should take themselves to check the surroundings.
For Rhodes, following Ivo to observe the scene inside the village is actually a good opportunity to understand the overall strength of the village.
Although the bat transformed into a vampire previously conveyed the situation in the village to Rhodes, Rhodes could only roughly understand the strength inside the village. As for the defenses and the distribution of buildings in the village, bats alone could not convey such detailed information. information.
Ivor led Rhodes to the area closest to the wooden house. This area was filled with similar wooden houses.
Pointing to these wooden houses, Ivor said to Rhodes: "This is where the elves live. Since your identity has not been confirmed before, I can only temporarily place you nearby."
Following the direction Ivor pointed, Rhodes saw no elves except the wooden house.
After introducing this area, Ivor took Rhodes and walked towards another road. Rhodes recalled that this road was somewhat different from the road he passed last night.
After walking forward for a while, Iver led Rhodes to the next area. Ivor introduced that this is where the dwarves live.
Compared with the area where elves originally lived, the number of houses here has increased significantly. Rhodes saw that around these houses, a dozen dwarves were gathering together in twos and threes to chat.
Even with the threat of war, these dwarves remained as usual. In Rhode's sight, many dwarves were talking loudly, holding their favorite ale in their hands.
Seeing this, Ivor gave Rhodes a wry smile and gave no explanation. Rhodes also shook his head.
Due to the nature of the dwarves, even if a war is coming, they will not have any special reaction. Instead of sinking your mind and thinking about how to deal with the Necromancer, you might as well get yourself drunk with ale, and when the enemy appears, go up to fight with weapons.
Even so, the fighting ability of the dwarves cannot be underestimated, and the fact that they can repulse the attacks of the necromancer one after another proves this point.
For dwarves, it is difficult for them to understand the difference between ordinary humans and necromancers. In the eyes of these dwarves, necromancers disrupt their lives, and these refugees also have an impact on their lives.
If the elves in Eli had not taken the initiative to come to the dwarf village to help these dwarves take in the surrounding refugees, I am afraid that these dwarves would not pay attention to these refugees at all, but let them fend for themselves.
