After Rhodes said his last words, both of them fell into silence for a moment.
Rhodes still had that calm face, and the vampire did not make any move except for taking a second look when Rhodes took out the Soul Crystal.
User's expression kept changing, showing that he was not at peace inside.
In the camp, as the silence lengthened, the atmosphere became dignified. Rhodes even felt a flash of killing intent.
At this time, User's momentum was fully revealed in this small tent. In Rhode's opinion, at this moment, the aura displayed by User standing opposite him was like that of a real warrior.
The vampire next to Rhodes also felt the power emanating from User. He stepped forward from behind Rhodes' seat and stared at User's movements, ready to take action at any time.
Correspondingly, Rhodes himself was also prepared. Although he was still sitting on the chair, Rhodes' consciousness had locked on the blade in the space ring, and at the same time, his body weight moved forward. If User planned to take action, Rhodes could take out the blade in an instant and thrust the sword forward at the same time.
Even though he was ready for battle, Rhodes still felt calm inside.
Although User has the strength of a senior warrior, he only wears light cloth and does not wear the armor used by warriors in battle. Rhodes is not afraid.
Unlike a swordsman like Rhodes who relies purely on swordsmanship, if a warrior wants to show his true strength, a set of sophisticated equipment is essential.
If a swordsman relies on the sharpness of his sword moves and the timing of his sword draw, then a warrior relies on the transition between offense and defense in battle.
In order to pursue damage and dodge agility, swordsmen would only wear leather armor at best. Once they wear heavy iron armor, the swordsman's own strength will drop a lot.
Unlike swordsmen, warriors wear different types of armor based on their needs. In order to find the best opportunity to attack, warriors often rely on their own equipment and combat experience to block the opponent's attacks until they discover the opponent's flaw.
A warrior may not be able to surpass swordsmen of the same level in terms of swordsmanship, but relying on sophisticated equipment and control of offense and defense in battle, he can generally defeat swordsmen of the same level.
It can be said that a large part of a warrior's strength is based on his own equipment.
This is why, even though he was aware that a fight might occur, Rhodes was just prepared and not too nervous.
Rhodes knew that although he might not be able to defeat User with his own strength, with the help of the vampires around him, if User planned to take action here, the outcome would not be certain.
Even with a space ring, armor is different from weapons and can be taken out instantly. It takes a lot of time to put on a neat set of armor.
Although the basic attributes of warriors without armor have not been reduced, they cannot withstand several attacks from vampires. In addition, Rhodes is looking for opportunities to make a surprise attack. Rhodes doesn't think User can sustain it for long.
It's just... Rhodes thought that once he fought with User, unless he was dealt with quickly, the rest of the business group would gather around him, and there might be spellcasters, so he should think about how to escape from the business group's base.
Moreover, there is only one business group going to the City of Screams at this time. If Rhodes misses this opportunity, it may take a long time before a second business group goes to the City of Screams, and Rhodes may even have to completely change his plan.
While Rhodes was thinking about it, User's heart was not at peace either.
User couldn't figure out how the necromancer in front of him found out that the cargo he was really transporting was the soul crystal. Although the necromancer in front of him had said it sentence by sentence, Yuser could not believe that this was inferred by the necromancer in front of him based on some clues.
In a very short period of time, Yoser thought a lot, but there were still many questions in Yoser's mind. What is the true purpose of the Necromancer? Is his confidant betraying information and colluding with the necromancer? Or are they the spies sent by other business groups to test the situation
If the undead mage in front of him really has other purposes, and Yose doesn't want the information about his batch of undead crystals to be exposed, the best way is to kill the undead mage now and then leave immediately with the business group. Although This is a bit of a cover-up, but it is undoubtedly the best method at the moment.
However, through the confrontation of momentum, User gave up this idea. Years of combat experience have made User very sensitive to danger. The aura of the two people in front of him undoubtedly told User that if he took action rashly, he might be the one who fell first.
At this time, a feeling suddenly flashed through Yose's heart. Although the two people in front of him were dressed no differently from the necromancers he had seen before, the aura they exuded did not look like they could only hide in the dark. What the necromancer controlling the undead creatures in the rear can possess is more like a melee professional who has experienced hundreds of battles.
Yose took a deep breath. The situation in front of him was obviously beyond his expectation. As for his previous judgments, Yose didn't know which ones were correct and which ones were deliberately misled. He could only stabilize it first. Live with the two people in front of you.
User said slowly: "I can take you two to the City of Screams, and I won't even charge you any travel expenses, but until the business group sets off, you must stay at the business group's station."
After hearing this, Rhodes also confirmed User's thoughts, so he said: "Then, I will ask the merchant group to take care of him along the way." He agreed to User's request.
User nodded and signaled Rhodes and the vampire to wait here for a moment, then he went to the back of the tent and shouted a few words.
After a while, a man dressed as a thief entered the camp from the rear. After User whispered a few instructions to him, the thief led Rhodes and the vampire out of the camp.
Under the leadership of the thief, Rhodes and his party walked in the direction they came from before and came to an empty carriage.
"Please let the two mages rest here. The business group will set off in two days. If you need any supplies, please tell me in advance and I will buy them for you."
The thief's hoarse voice reached Rhodes' ears. Rhodes didn't know whether he lowered his tone on purpose or if his voice was just like that.
After saying this, the thief did not leave, but waited aside.
Rhodes understood that although User agreed that he and the vampire would be travelers, he was not at ease. The thief would stay here after guiding him. He said that he was waiting for instructions from him and the vampire, but in fact he was monitoring whether he was there or not. Abnormal movement.
User's method was also expected by Rhodes. If User didn't monitor Rhodes at all, it would be beyond Rhodes' expectations.
Rhodes didn't say much, he just led the vampires onto the carriage.
