Chapter 37: Journey

Inside the carriage in front, Rod took a deep breath and tried to adjust his condition to the best.
After a night of rest, Rod's mental state was restored.
Rhode intends to take this opportunity to try deep meditation.
Rhode doesn't know how long the business group will take this trip, but for himself, who has limited soul missions, no matter how much time is spent on the journey, he can't waste it, but must seize all the time and improve himself. Strength.
For the current Rhodes, the only thing that can improve his strength is deep meditation.
Some times before, Rhode had performed many meditations, but all of these meditations by Rhode were shallow meditations, which were very different from deep meditations.
The main purpose of shallow meditation is to increase the maximum mana and increase the speed of mana recovery. Light meditation can be easily withdrawn under any circumstances, there is no risk of anti-bite, and it can even replace sleep to a certain extent, but deep meditation is completely different.
The first thing to do in deep meditation is to diverge mana to establish a connection with the surrounding magical elements, and then continue to deepen this connection through own spiritual exploration.
In the process of deep meditation, one's own spirit should be concentrated at all times, constantly feeling and exploring the magical elements around. In deep meditation, the connection between the mage and the magical element is generally maintained by continuously supplying mana.
Once deep meditation begins, as the connection with the magic element deepens, the whole person will fall into a state and lose their perception of the outside world, unless the mana value is consumed, otherwise it cannot be easily lifted.
Once this state is forcibly broken by external forces, people entering deep meditation will be repulsed based on the remaining mana. The more mana remaining, the greater the repulsion of the body. This kind of repulsion of the Archmage will even directly collapse his body.
This is why the general mage chooses an absolutely safe environment when performing deep meditation. In addition to reducing the influence of the external environment on himself, more of this kind of backlash is not allowed to happen.
Rhode knows this kind of backlash from deep meditation, but Rod still chooses to do deep meditation here.
The reason why Rod did this, in addition to wanting to seize all the time to improve his strength, the more important reason is that the experience accumulated by the previous life of the Master's career gave Rod a unique understanding of deep meditation.
If the Silver Seal Merchants choose to attack themselves while they are in a state of deep meditation, Rhode can also avoid the damage caused by the anti-bite through some special means. Although the mana value may be gone, for Rhode's melee Strength has no effect.
Rhode did not confess to the others in the business group not to disturb himself. According to the information provided by the maid, there is a caster of unknown strength in the chamber.
Due to the connection with the surrounding magical elements, the mana fluctuations caused by deep meditation are extremely perceptible to the caster of any rank.
Rhode's move, although not clearly stated to the business group, is also a sign.
Rhode believes that according to the previous behavior of the business group, he will not interrupt himself maliciously after he realizes that he has begun deep meditation. Instead, choose not to interfere with each other.
What the merchants wanted was to transport the crystals of the dead souls to Diya with peace of mind, and they would not deliberately provoke powerful enemies, and Rhode never thought of snatching the crystals of the souls of the merchants.
Because the space in the carriage is not spacious, Rhode put his hands on his legs, and at the same time replaced the wearing achievements with beginners, preparing to start to enter a state of meditation.
…………
In the process of Rhodes' meditation, the Yinyin Merchants Group was moving along a road with dense forest on both sides, and the trees in the forest were tall.
The road travelled by the carriage passed the deliberate choice of the merchant group. Although there were fallen leaves on the ground, the road was spacious and there were no obstacles to hinder the carriage.
The sky is already bright, but the light on the road is still dim due to the surrounding dense forest.
In the center of the business group, Uther was in the direction of the largest carriage, directing the business group.
Unlike yesterday's casual wear, Uther at this time was wearing a silver-white armor and was riding on a brown horse. He had no weapons on his body, but a space ring on his hand.
At this time, Uther was listening to the reports of his scouts about the surroundings.
The scout is not too young. Compared to the rest scouts who rely on his hands to eat, the scout in front of him clearly cannot beat them. But this scout has extensive experience in investigating the surroundings. This road to the city of mourning, this scout is no longer familiar.
The scout saw it from Uther’s eyes looking in one direction one after another, and Uther’s attention at this time was not above the situation he had reported. Nothing unusual happened anyway, the scout quickly finished the situation, and then came back to the front of the team to investigate.
Uther still looked in the direction of the business group. In the mind of Uther, the security of the business group is obviously more important.
The two undead necromancers were obviously the ones Uther wanted. Yesterday, forced to help, in order to avoid information leakage, they can only be made passengers, Uther is now thinking about the countermeasures.
Although the best thieves had been kept under his watch, Yuser was still worried.
It wasn't until the scout left for a while that Uther took his gaze back. He just prepared to say a few words to the scout under his command, and this was reflected. The situation of the men had already been reported, and the investigation had arrived in the front.
Youse had no choice but to put her eyes back on the carriage.
Last night, Rod was able to fall asleep on the carriage, but for the Silver Seal Merchants Group, the preparations had just begun.
Unlike Rhode, because Rhode entered the Silver Seal station, and with what he said, Uther had to change his plan, and he packed everything overnight, and he did not care that the others might find anomalies , Early departure this morning.
At this time, the merchant group was already on the road, and Uther began to feel headaches for the two Necromancers in the team.
Youse understands that the Necromancer knows the value of the Soul Crystal more than anyone else. If there may be danger on the road, the biggest hidden danger comes from the Necromancer in the merchant group.
Although the two Necromancers did not make any demands on themselves, they just wanted to go to Diya, but Yousel could not believe that the Necromancer, who had always been known for conspiracy, would not have any thoughts about the Crystal of the Souls.
Even if they were under their own surveillance and there was no movement, Uther could not feel at ease, but thought they were planning something.
Uncertain of the opponent’s strength, Uther did not dare to act rashly, and the only thing he could do was increase his surveillance.
