After taking care of the elf adjutant, Rhodes did not let the centaur under him stop, but ran quickly in the original direction.
Not long after, Rhodes rushed out of the area covered by the black clouds, and the light reappeared in front of Rhodes.
At this time, the elf behind found the elf adjutant lying on the ground. After being attacked by Rhodes and falling from his horse, the elf adjutant died.
Under the light of the fire, an elf came to the body of the elf adjutant and took off the pendant from his body.
In the hands of this elf, the eyelids on the pendant were completely closed, covering the eyeball in the center, without any intention of opening it.
In this pendant, there is the spiritual imprint of the court mage, and it is only allowed to be used by the court mage and the people he designates.
When the court mage handed the pendant to the adjutant, only he was allowed to use it. This also meant that when the elven adjutant died in battle, the remaining elves around could only hold the treasure and sigh.
Seeing this situation, the elf shook his head. Their mission to hunt down Rhodes was a failure.
After realizing this, these elves did not do anything extra. They just retreated towards the road they came from. At the same time, they placed the body of the elven adjutant on the horse and took it away.
As the elves retreated, calm returned to the surrounding area.
On the other side, Rhodes did not slow down because he did not know the information about the treasure, and still drove the centaur towards the camp where he originally received the mission.
As time went by, Rhodes was getting closer and closer to the camp. According to Rhodes' perception, no one was tracking him from behind. After completing the mission, he evacuated safely.
Not long after, Rhodes arrived inside the camp.
After riding all the way, it was already bright.
In Rhode's sight, several necromancers who also went to the camp appeared, and these necromancers were surrounded by many undead creatures.
When Rhodes passed by on a centaur, these necromancers all became wary of Rhodes next to them. As long as Rhodes approached them again, they might attack Rhodes first.
Rhodes knew that the reason why they were hostile to him should be the clothes on his body.
What Rhodes was wearing was originally the clothing of an elf swordsman. This outfit, worn on Rhodes, coupled with the blood stains all over his body, any necromancer who sees this outfit will be wary of Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes took out the black robe from the space ring and put it on, covering his entire body under the black robe.
Rhodes knew that in this mission, although he successfully captured the dwarf village and gained a lot of experience points, Rhodes did not get any loot because the court mage arrived in time.
The rewards brought by this mission can just make up for this and provide Rhodes with a trophy.
When Rhodes checked the mission information from the badge, he learned that after completing the mission, he would receive a treasure as a reward.
Not long after, Rhodes arrived at the camp where he had received the mission previously.
Inside the camp, the same necromancer who originally issued the mission was still responsible for delivering mission-related messages.
Seeing Rhodes, the Necromancer took the initiative to greet him. With an interested expression, he asked Rhodes: "How was it? Have you completed your mission?"
The Necromancer asked in a low tone, as if he was simply asking Rhodes this question, but Rhodes knew that the Necromancer in front of him was obviously more than just asking.
Before Rhodes could reply, the Necromancer continued: "Oh, I seem to have confused your mission with that of another person, but it doesn't have much to do with it."
"Let me think about it, it has been three days since you took over this mission. If you think there is a problem with the mission, it is already too late. There are only two ways in front of you. Either you use up Do whatever you can to complete this mission, or you will have to be chased to death by the black crow."
"Perhaps, you can choose never to appear in the realm of the Necromancer, but apart from Dia, which other area would welcome the arrival of a Necromancer?"
"If you had come to me a few days earlier and had a good discussion with me, maybe I would have shown mercy and changed your tasks, but now I have no choice."
"By the way, it's been three days. Have you found a way to complete this mission? Or, you came to the vicinity of the dwarf village, spent a few days exploring it, and found that you were no match at all, so you came back. Looking for me?"
Facing Rhodes, the necromancer in front of him quickly spoke a series of words, without giving Rhodes a chance to answer. Instead, he just kept talking while the expression on his face kept changing.
Through the words of the necromancer, Rhodes also learned about some of the previous situations. As expected, the previous task was the Necromancer who deliberately switched a more difficult task for himself.
Rhodes realized that the difficulty of the task of destroying the dwarf village should have reached the official level of the necromancer.
If a normal necromancer wanted to capture a dwarf village, according to the general method, it would either require a large number of undead creatures, or the necromancer would need to have extremely high magical attainments in order to attack the village head-on and retreat in time before reinforcements arrive. .
The purpose of the Necromancer changing tasks is to obtain benefits for himself through this method.
As long as the mages are similar in strength, they will not attack each other easily. Even if the necromancer who issued the mission manipulates them in this way, the other necromancers will only hand over a sum of gold coins in exchange for a suitable mission.
Whether it was before or now, Rhodes could feel a threat from the undead mage in front of him, but this feeling was not strong.
Due to the awe the necromancer showed towards ordinary undead creatures when accepting the mission, Rhodes completely regarded this necromancer as a formal necromancer level existence, that is, a fourth-level necromancer.
However, through the Necromancer's series of actions at this time, Rhodes became uncertain about the true strength of the Necromancer.
According to Rhodes' understanding, formal necromancers can obviously obtain greater benefits in battles, instead of struggling with these petty gains here with apprentice-level existences.
Therefore, even if he becomes an official necromancer, if he blindly exploits the interests of his apprentices, then his own strength will probably not be much stronger.
