Ivor also understood this. In this period, the relationship between dwarves and ordinary humans can be imagined, so he took Rhodes and quickly left the area where the dwarves lived.
After moving forward in the village for a while, Rhodes arrived not far from the entrance of the village. From a distance, Rhodes saw a large piece of tall stone wall and several sentry towers around it.
Rhodes looked carefully and saw that there were many pieces of wood mixed in the stone wall in front of him. These stone walls form an excellent barrier that can effectively block the attacks of undead creatures. Ordinary necromancers cannot carry large siege equipment. Facing the obstruction of the stone wall, they can only attack from the gate.
At this time, Rhodes saw that a large number of dwarves had gathered here. Since it was daytime, the dwarves' defense was obviously not particularly attentive. Rhodes could even hear the dwarfs laughing from far away.
The nature of dwarves dictates that they will not investigate their surroundings as carefully as elves. For dwarves, instead of wasting time in investigation, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to do something interesting.
Whether it is chatting among a few people or killing time in other ways, the dwarf will definitely not let himself get bored during the investigation process.
Dwarves are naturally fond of wine, whether it is rough ale or aged wine, they can all arouse their interest.
Compared with the dwarves we saw before, the dwarves here did not drink during the investigation. Perhaps this is their remaining fighting consciousness.
At this time, Ivor said to Rhodes: "As you can see, this is a defense facility used to resist undead creatures. With these facilities, we have successfully resisted several attacks by undead creatures."
After Rhodes looked at it, he nodded thoughtfully.
Through the intelligence he received when he first accepted the mission, Rhodes knew that these dwarves were more than just stone walls.
When the time comes for battle, the dwarf villages will help each other. Once the battle reaches a stalemate, the necromancer without any backup will be besieged by the arriving dwarves.
With these simple defenses around them, the dwarves can block the same number of undead creatures for a long time. When the dwarves from the other two villages arrived, the necromancer could only retreat after losing a large number of undead creatures.
Rhodes looked around, and then asked Ivor: "Are these dwarves usually in this state? I mean, compared to the state when you were defending yesterday, they are much worse, right? "
After hearing this, Ivor could only smile bitterly: "The nature of dwarves is like this, and we can only help them as much as possible. In addition, you should let those dwarves hear this, otherwise there may be some trouble."
Rhodes shook his head and did not continue to ask.
After staying here for a while, Ivor led Rhodes to the next location.
After inspecting the buildings in front of the village, Ivor finally led Rhodes to the edge of the village, where the refugees were resettled.
While passing through the village, Rhodes carefully checked the buildings he passed along the way, paying special attention to looking for possible dwarf treasury, but ultimately found nothing.
Rhodes knew that the location of the dwarf treasury should be among the residences of the group of dwarves, but Rhodes did not have a suitable opportunity to go in and observe.
At this time, a large number of ordinary people appeared in Rhode's sight. Although the dwarf village accepted these refugees and provided some protection to the refugees, it did not give any preferential treatment to the refugees in other aspects.
The place used to resettle refugees is not large. Compared with what Rhodes saw along the way, the number of residences here is obviously smaller, and each residence contains a larger number of refugees.
Although there is still a lot of space in the village, there is only this little space that the dwarves are willing to carve out.
The dwarves obviously did not pay attention to the living standards of these refugees. According to the general dwarves' ideas, the village has provided a safe position for ordinary people, and these ordinary people are not qualified to ask for more things.
Compared to the dwarves who are greedy for their own enjoyment, the attitude of the elves is obviously much better.
Near the homes of these refugees, many elves are comforting them. No matter what the refugees confide to these elves, they will receive a response from the elves.
Rhodes even saw several elves playing a special musical instrument to make the refugees forget the fear caused by the Necromancer.
Rhodes noticed that the elf mage who checked his mana yesterday was also doing the same thing.
At this time, looking at the scene in front of him, Rhodes sighed. Ivor heard the sigh and thought that Rhodes was deeply moved by the scene, thinking of his own experience, and said nothing for a while.
After a moment of silence, Ivor asked Rhodes: "How are you recovering from your injuries?"
Rhodes replied: "I'm much better already. After receiving a healing spell, my injuries are no longer serious. It only takes a few days to fully recover."
After hearing this, Ivor nodded and said to Rhodes: "I think your swordsmanship is very good. After you recover from your injury, don't forget to compare your swordsmanship with me."
Rhodes smiled and said, "Definitely."
After letting Rhodes become familiar with the internal environment of the village, Ivor's mission was completed. After telling Rhodes again not to approach the dwarf's location casually, he said goodbye to Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes was able to move around on his own within the village, but Rhodes did not stay here for a long time. Instead, he returned to his original residence along the way he came.
After Rhodes left, Ivor continued to look around a few times, and also planned to leave.
Among these refugees, the elf mage who had been playing a musical instrument had obviously noticed the arrival of Ivor and Rhodes. When he saw that Ivor was about to leave, he hurriedly stood up and said a few words to the other elves around him. He quickly came to Ivor's side.
The elf mage said a few words to Ivor, but Ivor shook his head, obviously not believing what the elf mage said.
The elf mage has been emphasizing to Ivor that during yesterday's investigation, he sensed an unusual aura from Rhodes, and this aura is probably related to the necromancer.
But through previous contact with Rhodes and Rhodes' previous swordsmanship, Ivor already had his own expectations in mind, so he could only explain it to the elf mage.
After hearing Ivor's explanation, the elf mage's face clearly showed a hint of anger, and he turned around and left. He didn't even take the musical instrument where he was, but returned directly towards the wooden house.
In response, Ivor could only smile bitterly.
