"Meditation is over."
"Based on your performance during meditation, your maximum mana has been increased by 15 points. The current mana is 27/65."
“No special feedback is available from shallow meditation.”

After a night of meditation, Rhode stood up looking at the shimmering sky.
Previously, after killing the blue-robed mage and counting the harvest, it was already midnight. Since it was just early morning, Rhodes did not meditate for a long time this time.
Even if he wears the elementary magic amulet to increase the speed of mana recovery, Rhodes has only recovered less than half of his mana at this time.
After getting up, Rhodes immediately opened the space ring in his hand. Thinking of the dead soul crystal in the space ring and watching the mana value in the attribute panel slowly decrease, Rhodes couldn't calm down.
When the mana reached 17/65, the space ring stopped absorbing mana, and Rhodes felt that he had established a connection with the space ring in his hand.
Rhodes put his consciousness into the space ring. The space inside the ring is less than two cubic meters, which is much smaller than the space ring that Rhodes got from Elode.
At this time, Rhodes' perception immediately locked on the dead soul crystal in the space ring.
Since the quality of these dead soul crystals cannot be known by perception alone, Rhodes took out these dead soul crystals.
Holding the Revenant Crystal in his hand, Rhodes counted it roughly. There were thirteen Revenant Crystals in total, with different sizes and qualities.
Taking advantage of the bright sky, Rhodes began to examine them carefully, and at the same time carefully felt the soul crystals in his hands.
The quality of these dead soul crystals varies, including broken and defective products, as well as complete and pure high-quality products.
Among these batches of dead soul crystals, the smallest one is only the size of a gold coin. It is extremely turbid inside and has a large gap on the outside. It can only release weak death energy. For the apprentice of the necromancer, this dead soul crystal is of little use. , not worth much money at all.
In comparison, the most valuable Soul Crystal, although only the size of a thumb, has a round appearance and an extremely pure interior, releasing strong death energy all the time.
In Rhode's perception, during the time he was checking the dead soul crystal, the death energy gathered around him exceeded that of the original tomb. Nearly half of the death energy was caused by this purest dead soul crystal. freed.
Although the purity of the remaining soul crystals in Rhodes' hands is not as good as this purest one, except for a few obviously defective ones, their quality is generally above average.
Rhodes guessed that User had taken the Death Crystal from the space ring many times and checked it. It was precisely because of User's behavior that some of the death energy still remained in his tent. This is why Rhodes could feel the energy of death in the camp.
As the number of Revenant Crystals is superimposed, the death energy released will be additionally increased. Even if two soul crystals of extremely poor quality are brought closer together, the death energy released will be significantly increased.
Rhodes understood that when the war started, the Soul Crystal in his hand would be worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins.
Although the value of these soul crystals was extremely high, Rhodes obviously had no intention of selling them. Rhodes has his own plans on how to use these soul crystals.
Beside, the vampire who was originally in a dormant state felt the rich death energy beside him, woke up from his dormant state, and looked in the direction of Rhodes.
It turned out that before Rhodes meditated deeply in the carriage of the merchant group, in order to allow the vampire to quickly recover its strength, he gave it the Soul Crystal obtained from the original tomb.
After a series of previous battles, the Soul Crystal that the vampire originally put in his pocket fell out at some point and was gone.
Seeing this, Rhodes selected a Revenant Crystal of acceptable quality and gave it to the vampire to carry around so that it could absorb the death energy released by the Revenant Crystal at all times.
In order to prevent the death energy from continuing to overflow, Rhodes put the remaining soul crystals into User's space ring.
Rhodes continued to examine the space ring. Apart from the Soul Crystal, there is only one mutton leg in the space ring, which is exactly the one that Uther took in before the battle at the top of the watchtower.
In this space ring, except for the soul crystal and the leg of lamb, there is nothing else.
It turned out that User took out his weapons and shields from this space ring. In addition to the weapons that could be used directly, plus these extremely valuable soul crystals, the entire space in the ring was almost filled.
Since the space contained in this space ring is not large, User obviously did not put all his personal belongings in it. Rhodes estimated that his belongings should be placed on the remaining carriages in the business group.
After checking the space ring, Rhodes replaced the achievement [Heart of Calmness] worn to improve the effect of meditation. Seeing that the vampires on the side were almost recovered, Rhodes decided to set off on the road.
Rhodes led the vampire towards a direction in the forest. Since Rhodes didn't know the terrain here, he could only roughly choose a direction to move forward.
In the previous battle, Rhode's original horse also escaped from the battlefield at some point. At this time, Rhodes and the vampire could only move forward on foot.
Previously, Rhodes had climbed up to the watchtower for observation. Although I don’t know the specific path, I can still determine the positions of Eli and Diya and roughly choose a direction.
After walking forward for a while, the surrounding trees began to become sparse, and the ground was no longer covered with dead branches and leaves, but was replaced by some ordinary vegetation.
Continuing forward, due to the reduction of surrounding trees, there are no longer obstructions to block the sight. Rhodes' field of vision becomes wider and he can see far away.
At this time, Rhodes noticed a road in the distance. One end of the road leads to the forest that Rhodes walked out of earlier, and the other end extends deep into the plain.
This road is not wide and is covered with weeds, but the traces of being crushed by vehicles and horses all year round are very obvious. Although it was a little far away, Rhodes, who had the eagle eye technique, could recognize it at a glance.
Although Rhodes didn't know where this road led, whether the end was the city of mourning he had chosen. But Rhodes knew that this road must lead to a certain place. It is definitely more appropriate to walk along this road than to move forward without direction in the forest.
Rhodes understood that as long as there were roads for carriages to travel, there would be trade. As long as he follows this path, he can accurately arrive at a gathering place of creatures. At that time, whether it is to exchange for a map and continue to move forward, or anything else, it can be achieved.
Rhodes led the vampire towards this road.
