Chapter 811 Confirmation 2
In Rhodes' impression, he once arrived at a mahogany watchtower in Eri.
Rhodes recalled that the interior space of the mahogany watchtower at that time was extremely small, and there was no decoration at all except for the spiral staircase and the windows on the tower wall for light transmission.
Even in the top area of the watchtower, there is only a small platform for Rhodes to sit on and observe the surrounding things, but Rhodes has experienced a lot in this environment. A fierce battle.
When he was at the top of the watchtower, Rhodes possessed the special skill Eagle Eye, which could be greatly enhanced in this special environment to observe the surrounding terrain and other special creatures.
If Rhodes has special skills related to cartographers, such as pathfinding and logistics, he can even draw a map of the surrounding terrain at the top of the watchtower. This special map has certain value whether it is used in the business group of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce or in the battle.
Before spells became popular, even before mages could even see through the earth, the maps of certain areas drawn by senior cartographers could be said to be invaluable, far surpassing anything else in terms of strategic value.
But when Bracada, the kingdom of mages, became stronger, this situation began to change. Spells also began to be used by mages for a variety of things, not just limited to combat. Among these spells, the most special and also the spell with the most strategic value belongs to the third-level see-through-the-earth spell.
Relying on the existence of the spell of seeing through the land, mages can easily get all the terrain in an area and the special things that exist on the surface from a bird's-eye view.
In the hands of a legendary mage who specializes in this spell, seeing through the earth naturally has a more powerful effect. All creatures on the surface of an area will be perceived by the legendary mage and cannot be hidden.
Under such circumstances, the value and effects of the maps drawn by cartographers are undoubtedly greatly weakened. Especially in some special cases, using the spell of seeing through the earth, in addition to being able to know the surrounding terrain, you can also get a lot of other information.
No matter how detailed the map in the hands of the cartographer is, it is not as fast as a formal mage's ability to see through the earth, and the manpower and material resources spent to obtain a detailed map are also greatly reduced. The emergence of the spell of seeing through the earth has seriously hindered the development of cartographers.
In Rhode's impression, there are not many truly famous cartographers in the surface world, and even the few remaining ones also have the official rank of mage, and they have mastered the spell of seeing through the earth.
It can be said that the emergence of the perspective land spell has completely changed the class of cartographer. After the popularity of seeing the earth, the previous cartographers either chose to change their jobs to other types of professionals, or they could only change their previous drawing methods.
Based on this, the cartographer can only give up the drawing of the vast terrain, and instead focus on other things, such as mines, complex and changeable mines, or the interior of the underground world. A deep passage leading to nowhere.
It is precisely because of this that, in Rhodes' impression, those truly famous cartographers all exist in the underground world where sorcerers live. Among these cartographers, there is also the existence of legendary ranks. In the underground world, everyone has enough right to speak.
As a perspective land with great strategic use in the surface world, Rhodes has already mastered this spell. However, Rhodes did not fully rely on the convenience brought by this spell. When confirming the surrounding environment, Rhodes It is often used in conjunction with perspective land and maps.
In Rhodes' impression, in the territory of Diya, any well-known undead city must be covered with extremely thick and opaque black clouds. This kind of black cloud is the dark sky in the necromancer's mouth.
The shrouding of the dark sky brought an extremely gloomy atmosphere to the city of the undead. The necromancers in it naturally didn't mind it, and even enjoyed this unique environment.
Even the city of the dead where Rhodes is currently located is also shrouded in darkness. According to the information that Rhodes knew, the reason why the dark sky was researched by the necromancer and recognized by many necromancers in Diane was not for this unique environment at first, but to resist the need to see through the earth. Road spells.
Under the cover of the dark sky, even the see-through atmosphere performed by the legendary mage cannot penetrate the black clouds in the sky and get the real situation below the black clouds. The see-through earth performed by the legendary mage can only get a large area composed of An area shrouded in darkness.
Relying on the unique effect of the dark sky, any major area in Diya cannot obtain any useful information by relying on the magic of seeing through the earth.
And in Diya, the area where the Lich exists is even more so. In those special areas, there are even stricter defense measures than the dark sky.
The effect of the dark sky was naturally recognized by other necromancers. The main undead cities in Diya were all shrouded in black clouds.
As a dark sky with such an effect, in countless years, many necromancers naturally tried to improve it in order to obtain a more powerful effect.
In Rhodes' impression, a treasure he once obtained had such an effect that he could create black clouds very similar to the dark sky according to his needs.
Compared with the dark sky that exists in the city of the undead, Rhodes, who has this treasure, is naturally more convenient in the manufacture of black clouds, and can display the effect of this treasure at any time according to his needs.
In the system's prompt for this treasure, it was also mentioned that it was the master alchemist's improvement of the dark sky that got this special treasure, but this treasure was very difficult for Rhodes' current opponent Difficult to achieve any effect.
In Rhodes' impression, there may not be many things that can achieve the effect of the dark sky and avoid the exploration of the earth.
The only thing Rhodes can confirm that has this effect is the magic ball in Tanan's hand. As an independent artifact, the powerful effect of the magic ball is enough to evade any detection spells, which naturally include seeing through the earth.
