User was still wary of the necromancer in the carriage, but at this time, Rhodes in the carriage was obviously in another state.
Rhodes didn't know what happened outside the carriage. At this time, Rhodes, although in a meditative state, frowned, obviously the process was not going smoothly.
Rhodes tried to call out all the magic elements around him, but in Rhode's perception, the surrounding magic elements seemed very indifferent, and few magic elements chose to respond to Rhodes' call.
For the current Rhodes, since there is no way to get a response from the magic elements, let alone spending mana to establish contact with the magic elements, if this continues, he will not even be able to maintain a meditative state.
Deep meditation can only be fully mastered by a formal mage. Due to Rhodes' low mental attributes, although Rhodes has been trying to disperse mana, it has never worked.
Rhodes did not expect that deep meditation, which he could easily enter in his previous life, would be so difficult to achieve now.
After successive failures, Rhodes could only change his plan.
Rhodes no longer calls on all types of magic elements around him, but only tries to establish contact with the fire magic elements based on the existing primary fire magic.
At the beginning, the surrounding fire magic elements still did not respond to Rhodes, but with Rhodes' persistence, a handful of surrounding fire magic elements began to respond to Rhodes' call.
The experience of his previous life taught Rhodes that he must not be anxious at this time. Rhodes did not try to summon more fire magic elements, but tried to release mana and deepen his connection with the surrounding fire magic elements.
Feeling the slow decline in mana, Rhodes knew that he had begun to establish contact with the surrounding fire magic elements.
Rhodes concentrated and put all his attention on this slight connection, ignoring everything around him. As Rhodes concentrated his energy, everything around him began to blur, leaving only the fire magic elements around him.
As Rhodes's connection with these fire magic elements deepened, other fire magic elements around him began to actively respond to Rhodes' call and joined in this connection one after another.
Rhodes' mana consumption speed increased, but overall it was still consumed at an extremely slow speed. At this time, all Rhodes could sense was a large amount of fire magic elements, and his physical perception had completely faded away.
Maintaining this connection with magical elements is an extremely mentally draining process. Once the mage becomes distracted or sleepy, the effect of deep meditation will be greatly reduced, and may even suffer direct backlash. This is why Rhodes chose to sleep all night to drain his energy. After replenishing, begin deep meditation.
With his past life experience and his unremitting attempts, Rhodes successfully entered a state of deep meditation.
… …
Next to him, the vampire who had been absorbing the energy of death seemed to feel something. He quickly opened his eyes, stared at Rhodes for a few seconds, and then closed his eyes again.
… …
At this time, inside the carriage in the center of the business group.
A spellcaster in blue robe seemed to feel something and let out a light sigh. Then he put down the book he had been reading, opened the window next to the carriage, and looked in a direction not far away.
The place where he could see was the carriage where Rhodes was.
The blue-robed mage tapped twice on the edge of the window. On the side, Yuser, who heard the voice, immediately came to the carriage and looked inside the window.
The blue-robed mage whispered a few words to User. Following the blue-robed mage's line of sight, User also looked at the carriage where Rhodes was.
"You mean... he is meditating deeply?"
User's tone was full of doubts, as if he couldn't believe it at all.
Although he is not a mage, User obviously has a very good understanding of the mage's practice, understands what deep meditation means to the mage, and also knows what kind of backlash the mage will suffer once deep meditation fails.
Seeing the blue-robed mage nodding, Yose was stunned for a moment.
User really couldn't understand why the necromancer chose to meditate deeply here.
Until now, Yose has been speculating on the purpose of the Necromancer's coming. Various speculations have flashed through Yose's mind, but Yose has never been able to confirm it.
At this time, seeing this move that seemed to be deliberately exposing a flaw, Yose seemed to realize something, and then finally confirmed it. For this reason, User took a deep look in Rhode's direction.
In the carriage, seeing that User didn't reply for a long time, the blue-robed mage couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Would you like to take advantage of this opportunity..."
As a spell caster, the blue-robed mage understood the consequences of being interrupted in deep meditation, and also knew what a good opportunity this was, so he proposed to User.
Although the blue-robed mage did not finish his words, User already understood the meaning contained in his words. User still looked in the direction of Rhodes' carriage and shook his head.
Seeing this, the blue-robed mage no longer insisted.
Although he is a spell caster, the blue-robed mage understands that he can make suggestions to the group leader, but the real decision can only be made by the group leader.
The blue-robed mage knew that the group leader must have his own ideas when making such a decision. The blue-robed mage can make suggestions, but cannot interfere too much with the leader's judgment.
Seeing that User was still looking in the direction of Rhodes' carriage, the blue-robed mage closed the window, sat back in the carriage, and started reading the books in his hand again.
Finally, User sighed deeply, no longer looking in the direction of the necromancer, but looking in front of the team, preparing to take command from the front.
Even when he reached the front of the team, User was still thinking about the behavior of the necromancer before.
In User's opinion, deep meditation should be carried out deliberately by the necromancer.
The undead mage did this simply because he hoped to tell himself through the mouths of the mages in the business group that they had no ill intentions and just wanted to use the caravan to go to the City of Screams.
Similarly, for the business group, although one of them is meditating deeply, for safety reasons, they will not attack them without knowing their cards.
It was this behavior that seemed to show weakness, but it almost completely resolved the previous behavior of forcing the business group to become passengers, making the business group relax their vigilance. This made Yose Gao glance at the necromancer.
Suddenly, a strange idea came to User's mind.
After the necromancer entered the merchant group's camp, all his actions were within the necromancer's expectations. The necromancer had guessed all his thoughts, from the goods he was transporting, to the fact that he would definitely not attack them at this time.
Although there was no real fight, through this series of judgments, User had determined that the necromancer who spoke before was not an ordinary person.
