Chapter 250: Guardian Shield

In Rhode's perception, the city owner also hides a large part of his strength. His true strength will not be weaker than the court mages he had originally seen.
Even so, the city master still had no resistance and took the initiative to hand over the treasure to Rhode, as if the shield held in Rhode's hand were not artifact parts, but ordinary treasures.
Although Rhode was very surprised about the method of the city owner, he did not express it. After receiving the shield, Rhode continued to talk to the lord, and then left.
At this time, Rod's sight was also placed on the shield in his hand.

…………
Even if it is only one of the artifact's components, this shield is still very powerful. Rhode knew that if all the artifact parts could be collected completely, the "Titanium Arrow" would reveal its true role.
Putting the shield of the patron saint into the space ring, Rhode's collection of artifacts this time was considered complete. In Rhode's perception, the remaining parts of the artifact are located far away from themselves and cannot be collected temporarily.
Through the position hint in the spiritual imprint, Rod quickly walked towards Rowling's position.
At this time, it seemed to feel the message that the Centaur leader and the vampire prompted himself. Rod noticed that on Rowling's side, there should have been a battle, but there was no loss.
Unclear about the specific situation, Rod quickly walked towards Rowling's position.
Before long, Rhode walked out of the inner city gate and came to the streets of the outer city. Through the perception from the spiritual imprint, Rod knew that Rowling and his party should stay here and wait.
After the battle, in order to ensure Rowling’s safety, and at this time, Rod also got the shield of the patron saint he needed, he did not let Rowling continue to move forward, but stayed here, waiting for Rod’s arrival. .
Before long, Rod came to Rowling's party. Rhode noticed that many of the surrounding houses collapsed, and there were traces of a large number of creatures leaving. Obviously this battle was not as simple as he thought.
Looking at Rowling in front, before Rhode asked, Rowling said to Rod first:
"Rod, will you help me kill someone?"
Hearing Rowling’s question, Rod felt a little surprised, and didn’t expect Rowling to make such a request.
Through this period of contact, Rod also fully understood Rowling's character. In Rhode's view, Rowling is still kind. It is difficult to imagine that Rowling will make a request to kill himself.
Rod 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, Rodton knew who Rowling was referring to, but Rod didn’t understand why she did it.
In the process of obtaining the treasure, through the concentration of death energy in Sepp's body and the strength he showed, Rhode knew clearly that he was not fake.
Rod wanted to know that when Sepp's real body had been talking to himself in the city, when did he provoke Rowling.
Seeing Rod did not reply, but looked at herself. Rowling explained: "I learned from a hero that the creature living in the outer city is the kind of creature that scared me at the beginning. People change."
"The original ordinary people, after being extracted from the body's vitality, become like this, and can only stay in the city and die. And all this is done by Sepp."
After speaking, as if thinking of something, Rowling's face showed obvious anger. Rowling knew that as long as Rod agreed, he would be able to fulfill this promise, kill Sepp, and rescue these people in the city.
Knowing Rowling's reasons, Rhode's face clearly had some disappointment, but he replied: "If only for this reason, I will refuse."
After Rod refused, Rowling seemed extremely puzzled. Obviously, he did not expect that Rod would reject himself, and immediately asked, "Rod, don't you want to rescue these people in the city?"
Rhodes replied faintly: "It doesn't make sense. These creatures are weak and weak, and they don't even have the qualification to become undead creatures. I don't need their loyalty. The time is not suitable for fighting here."
"For what reason do you want to rescue them? Is it just because of the mercy in your heart? Or that saving them will improve your own strength?"
After hearing Rod’s words, Rowling was a little silent for a while, and didn’t know how to answer. In the end, she could only direct everything to Rod and Pan:
"Before, a hero told me all about the origin of these creatures. I promised the hero that he would kill the necromancer Sepp..."
Before Rowling finished, Rod immediately interrupted: "If it is just this level of commitment, there is no need to comply."
As if thinking of something, Rod continued:
"Commitments are also divided into categories. If you commit to others, you need to be paid accordingly. Just as you promise to kill the Necromancer for him, then he also needs to provide you with equivalent rewards, not just a few words of intelligence. Understand."
"This kind of commitment is only related to interests. If you think the rewards are not worthy of your compliance, you can violate it at any time. You just take this commitment and it didn't exist from the beginning."
After hearing Rod's words, Rowling froze. Obviously, because of Rod's identity, what he said had a great impact on Rowling.
After that, the Centaur leader bent his body down, and Rod also motioned to Rowling, ready to leave. At this moment, Rod suddenly noticed Rowling's eyes.
Rowling didn't make any movements, still standing on the spot. At this time, Rowling's eyes were red again, and she looked extremely wronged.
Aware of Rowling's state at this time, Rod knew that maybe he was too harsh on her, maybe he should not easily deny her commitment, and should not impose her own experience on dealing with her.
In this regard, Rhode could only make a long sigh.
"These are just my opinions. If you think this commitment is really important, it will make you feel bad if you don't complete it. Then this commitment is no longer your commitment to others, but your commitment to yourself. Try to finish it. If you can’t, I’ll do it for you."
In the sky, the ghost dragon's figure emerged, and it seemed that after Rhode's order, he would immediately breathe the Nether Dragon's breath and attacked the city of Valen.
