If Sepp was just a minor character with little power, Rhodes would have killed him for Rowling and would not have refused 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 Dia.
Rhodes clearly felt something unusual from Sepp's attitude towards him. Even if he loses, Sepp will not greet him with this attitude, and even directly hand over the treasure to him.
Sepp emphasized his identity, and Rhodes 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.
Rhodes has no burden in doing things like killing people and destroying cities. Even if Sepp had previously handed over the treasure to him, if the battle started, Rhodes would not show any mercy to Sepp. On the contrary, Rhodes Virtue will also be happy because his strength is improved.
Unlike Rowling who needs a clear reason for doing things, Rhodes did all this just to improve his own strength.
Therefore, even starting a war with Wallen City would, to a certain extent, be in line with Rhodes' expectations, but the timing 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 Rhodes noticed Rowling's expression, he made the ghost dragon in the sky stop moving.
When she learned that Rhodes was finally willing to take action for her and capture the town, Rowling suddenly fell silent.
For a moment, Luo Lin didn't say any words, but started a fierce ideological struggle in her heart. Her eyes didn't know where to look, but she just kept glancing around, as if this could make a decision for her.
During the time when the ghost dragon appeared, Valen City also took measures to deal with it. Rhodes noticed that a large amount of black smoke was being produced in the sky in the city.
The smoke rose into the sky. After reaching a certain height, it no longer continued to rise, but quickly spread to the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, it had covered most of the entire sky.
The black clouds that appear around are naturally the dark sky of Wallen City. Maintaining the existence of the dark sky requires a large amount of energy. For Wallen City without a magic guild, the consumption of the dark sky naturally needs to be borne by the city owner.
Since not many visitors came, Wallen City did not maintain the existence of the dark sky at all times. It was only after noticing the ghost dragon appearing in the sky and Rhodes' possible intention to launch an attack that the dark sky was opened.
Noticing this, Rhodes looked at Rowling again, hoping she could make a decision quickly. Since we are completely exposed to the enemy's sight, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for Rhodes.
At this time, Luo Lin had also made her decision, her eyes extremely firm.
Seeing Rhodes looking in her direction, Rowling said, "Brother, no need, let's go."
Feeling the changes in Rowling, Rhodes did not reply for a while, but just looked at Rowling, as if he wanted to get an answer from her.
"This is my own promise to that hero. I shouldn't force you to help. This is my promise..."
As if remembering what Rhodes had said before, Rowling's tone was extremely firm at this time.
Looking at Rowling in this state before him, Rhodes knew that she had gained a lot of growth during this experience, but what she understood did not seem to be what he had taught her.
Rhodes shook his head slightly and said, "It would be better if you thought about it clearly at the beginning. It seems a bit late now."
With that said, Rhodes moved his gaze aside.
Rowling followed Rhodes' gaze and saw only ruins. These ruins were all left over from previous battles. Rowling didn't understand the meaning of Rhodes looking here.
Soon, Luo Lin discovered an abnormality. There was some mana fluctuation in this position. If you just observe it with the naked eye, you can't see anything.
It seemed that Rhodes and Rowling's movements were noticed, and with a relatively obvious mana fluctuation, a man dressed as a thief no longer hid in the ruins, but directly showed his figure.
At this time, the thief said: "Hand over the Mother of Dead Souls."
The thief didn't have any extra words. His tone didn't sound like he was discussing with Rhodes, but a direct threat, but Rhodes didn't react at all.
Seeing that Rhodes seemed unmoved, the thief made a gesture to Quietly and walked towards Rhodes' direction.
What the thief didn't know was that Rhodes didn't understand what he meant.
In Rhodes' memory, the Mother of the Dead should be the highest quality soul crystal, and it is also an important item needed by top necromancers to complete the endless night ritual.
Once the death energy released by the Mother of Dead Souls is absorbed, the quality of the Endless Night Ritual will be upgraded to a higher level for top necromancers.
Listening to the tone of this thief, it was obvious that he had the Mother of Souls in his hands, but Rhodes didn't even know that the Mother of Souls existed, let alone possess it.
Rhodes knew that no matter how he explained, the thief would not believe him. Since he dared to appear in front of him, he was obviously very confident.
Rhodes could not confirm whether the existence of this thief was related to Sepp in Wallen City, but it was too late to think about it at this time.
As the thief slowly approached Rhodes, the undead creature controlled by Rhodes also reacted immediately.
At Rhodes's signal, the centaur leader pulled Rowling aside and protected Rowling at all times, while the vampire rushed directly towards the thief's position.
Looking at the vampire rushing towards him in front of him, the thief remained unmoved. Even his walking pace did not change. He still maintained a uniform speed and walked towards Rhodes' position.
Seeing that the distance was approaching, the vampire clawed at the thief, but only caught a dissipated afterimage.
At this time, a wave of mana suddenly occurred behind Rhodes, and the walking thief appeared directly behind Rhodes.
As soon as the thief appeared, a Titan's arrow flashing with lightning was 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 caused by the Titan's arrow was completely offset by the protective shield produced by this purple talisman. But the price was that the purple talisman disintegrated directly and fell from the thief's body.
