Chapter 250 Shield of the Patronus

In Rhode's perception, the city lord also hides a large part of his strength, and his real strength will not be weaker than the court mage he had seen.

Even so, the city lord still did not have any resistance, and took the initiative to hand over the treasure to Rhodes, as if the shield held by Rhodes was not a part of an artifact, but an ordinary treasure.

Although Rhodes was very surprised by the actions of the city lord, he did not express it. After getting the shield, Rhodes continued to chat with the city lord for a few words, and then left.

At this time, Rhode's sight was also placed on the shield in his hand.

…………

Even if it is only one of the parts of the artifact, this shield is still very powerful. Rhodes knew that if all the parts of the artifact could be collected completely, the "Titan Arrow" would reveal its true effect.

Incorporating the shield of the patron saint into the space ring, Rhodes' collection of artifacts this time can be considered complete. In Rhodes' perception, the remaining parts of the artifact are located very far away from him and cannot be collected for the time being.

Through the location hint in the mental imprint, Rhode quickly walked towards Rowling's location.

At this time, it seemed that he felt the information prompted by the centaur leader and the vampire. Rhode noticed that on Rowling's side, there should have been a battle, but there was no loss.

Since he was not aware of the specific situation, Rhode quickly walked towards Rowling's position.

Not long after, Rhode walked out of the inner city gate and came to the street of the outer city. Through the perception from the mental imprint, Rhode knew that Rowling and his party should stay here and wait.

After the battle is over,

In order to ensure Rowling's safety, and Rhodes also got the shield of the patron saint at this time, he did not let Rowling continue to move forward, but stayed here and waited for Rhodes' arrival.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to come to Rowling's side. Rhode noticed that many surrounding houses had collapsed, and there were traces of a large number of creatures leaving around. Obviously, this battle was not as simple as he thought.

Looking at Rowling in front, before Rhodes could ask, Rowling said to Rhodes first:

"Rod, can you help me kill someone?"

Hearing Rowling's question, Rhode was a little surprised, and did not expect that Rowling would make such a request.

Through this period of contact, Rhodes can be considered to fully understand Rowling's character. From Rhodes' point of view, Rowling is still kind, and it is hard to imagine that Rowling would make a request to kill herself.

Rhodes asked, "Who do you want me to kill for you?"

"A necromancer named Sepp, he should have a big position in the city."

Hearing Sepp's name, Rhodes immediately knew who Rowling was referring to, but Rhodes didn't understand at all why she did it.

In the process of obtaining the treasure, Rhode clearly knew that he was not fake through the concentration of death energy on Sepp's body and the strength he showed.

Rhodes wanted to know that Sepp's real body had been talking to him in the city, and when did he provoke Rowling.

Seeing Rhodes and did not reply, but looked at herself, Rowling explained: "I learned from a hero that the creatures living in the outer city are the kind of creatures that scared me in the first place. People change."

"The original ordinary people, after being drained of their vitality, became like this, and could only stay in the city to die. And all of this was done by Sepp."

After speaking, as if thinking of something, a clear anger appeared on Rowling's face. Rowling knew that as long as Rhode agreed, she would be able to fulfill this promise, kill Sepp, and rescue these people in the city at the same time.

After learning Rowling's reason, Rhode's face was obviously a little disappointed, but he still replied: "If it's just for this reason, forgive me."

After Rhodes refused, Rowling seemed extremely puzzled, apparently not expecting Rhodes to reject her, and immediately asked, "Rod, don't you want to rescue these people in the city?"

Rhode replied indifferently: "It doesn't make sense. These creatures are weak, and they don't even have the qualifications to become undead creatures. I don't need their allegiance. The current time is not suitable for fighting here."

"For what reason do you want to rescue them? Is it just because of pity in your heart? Or, saving them can improve your own strength?"

After listening to Rhode's words, Rowling was a little silent for a while, not knowing how to answer, but in the end she could only tell everything to Rhode:

"Before, a hero told me all this, which is the origin of these creatures. I promised that hero that I would kill the necromancer Sepp for him..."

Before Rowling could finish speaking, Rhodes interrupted immediately: "If it's just a promise of this level, it doesn't need to be kept."

As if thinking of something, Rhode continued:

"The promise is also divided into categories. If it is a promise to others, you need to get the corresponding reward. Just as you promised to kill the necromancer for him, then he also needs to provide you with an equivalent reward, not just a few words of information. Understand."

"These kinds of promises are only linked by interest. If you don't think you're getting paid for it, you can break it at any time. You treat it as a promise, it didn't exist from the beginning."

After hearing Rhode's words, Rowling was stunned. Obviously, because of Rhode's identity, what he said had a greater impact on Rowling.

After speaking, the centaur leader leaned down, and Rhode signaled to Rowling to leave. At this moment, Rhode suddenly noticed Rowling's eyes.

Rowling didn't do anything, still standing there. At this time, Rowling's eyes were red again, looking extremely aggrieved, and just looked at Rhodes like that.

Realizing Rowling's state at this time, Rhode knew that maybe he was too strict with her, maybe he shouldn't easily deny her promise, and shouldn't impose his own experience on her.

In this regard, Rhodes could only let out a long sigh.

"These are just my opinions. If you think this promise is really important, and it will make you feel bad if you don't fulfill it, then this promise is no longer your promise to others, but your promise to yourself. Do your best to get it done. If you can't get it done, I'll do it for you."

In the sky, the figure of the ghost dragon appeared. It seemed that as long as Rhode gave an order, he would immediately breathe out the breath of the ghost dragon and attack the city of Valen.
