Chapter 40: Watchtower II

Standing on the top of the lookout tower, Rhode can look far away. Rhodes predicted that the height of the watchtower should be 60 to 70 meters.
To the edge of the top of the lookout tower, Rod looked down.
In the sight of Rhodes, the bonfire originally ignited by the business group was only a small point at this moment. The crowd surrounding the bonfire also seemed extremely small at this time.
Through Eagle Eye, Rhodes can count the number of people by the campfire. Because the eagle eye technique is only elementary, it still looks a little vague. If it is expert-level eagle eye surgery, you can even see the expression of everyone around the campfire from here.
For melee professionals, in order to observe everything that happens in combat, eagle eye surgery is essential. Especially for scout occupations, eagle eye surgery is particularly important.
Rod looked in one direction. There was still a forest around the lookout tower, but the number of trees began to decrease, and the height was completely incomparable to what Rhode had seen before. A plain had appeared in the distance. Even without pathfinding, Rhode can see the anomaly.
"Diya..."
Looking at the plain in the distance, Rhode understood that the location of the watchtower should be the border of Erie, where it intersects Diya. As long as you walk a little further ahead, you can enter Diya.
Why did the business group stop here, and Rod finally understood that he should want to take a good night's rest while still in the territory of Eri, to resume the fatigue caused by the continuous travel of these past few days. Within Ya.
Knowing that the business group has reached the border, although it is impossible to see how many days deep meditation took through the system log, Rhode knew that the time he spent in deep meditation was longer than he thought.
After a few days of deep meditation, even though his own consumption was reduced to a minimum, Rhode still felt hungry at this time.
Rhode sat down on the edge of the watchtower, and at the same time took the dry food from the space ring, sent it to his mouth, and bit it down.
In Rhode's space ring, part of the dry food comes from the original burial chamber, and part of it is originally stored in the space ring. The amount is enough for Rhode to use. This is what Rhode has been eating before.
Because it has been kept in the space ring, Rhode can swallow it without much effort to chew. Although it has no taste, it can restore physical strength.
Suddenly, Rhode, who was eating dry food, noticed something, got up instantly, put the dry food into the space ring, and looked behind him. From the edge of the original watchtower platform, came to a location near the center.
Rod heard, behind him, on the steps inside the watchtower, heavy footsteps were heard. The owner of the footsteps didn't even want to cover it up, and he could even forcefully increase the footsteps.
Before long, as the footsteps slowly approached, Rhode also saw the figure in the back, which was the head of the merchant's regiment at the campfire, Yusser.
Uther's figure appeared at the entrance of the watchtower's top platform. Rhode saw that a large piece of roasted lamb shank was being held in the hands of Uther, and the aroma of the roasted meat burst out.
Just before Uther appeared in Rod’s field of vision, and during the time when footsteps came, Rod didn’t smell any smell. This roasted leg of lamb was steaming, obviously Uther from the space ring. Removed.
Uther ascended the lookout tower, certainly to find Rod, but he stopped at the entrance to the top deck.
Perhaps, Uther's original intention was to observe Rhod's unusual behavior by sharing food with Rhod. But at this time, Uther apparently also noticed this environment of the top platform.
Originally, although it was unclear the strength of the two Necromancers in the merchant group, although Youser was very afraid, she would not provoked it.
At this time, what surprised Youse was that the two Necromancers in the business group took the initiative to separate. I just don't know if it was the one in front of me who was doing deep meditation before.
Youse quickly weighed the status of the two sides. She is still wearing armor, plus the weapon in the space ring, which can be said to be the strongest state without blessing spells. In this environment at this time, even the official Necromancer may not be able to resist his surprise attack.
In an instant, Uther began to struggle violently. Originally just came up to observe the idea of ​​Necromancer, began to change.
Although the Necromancer is willing to show weakness, seeing this good opportunity, Uther is not willing to let it go easily.
Even guessing that the two Necromancers might not have come for the Crystal of the Dead Souls in the caravan, Uther still couldn't rest assured.
According to their previous performance, Youse is probably 70% sure that the two Necromancers will not attempt to the Crystal Soul. But if they are killed here, then 70% will become 10%, which can completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the merchant group.
For Uther, there should be no suspense in dealing with a necromancer while he has the advantage of terrain.
Finally, as if thinking of something, Yusher had a decision in her heart.
Rod also felt something, but there was no movement. As if due to the light, Rhode's eyes narrowed slightly, so he looked at Uther on the stairs.
Afterglow reflected, Rhode's shadow stretched on the platform.
Even if Youser struggled inwardly, her face could be controlled well, and she did not show it. In Rhodes's eyes, Youser still remained calm.
"I haven't seen you out along the way. For the first time I saw you walking out of the carriage, there are a lot of food in the business group, and I want to share it with you." Youser said, a smile on her face, trying to make herself a little It looks normal.
With that said, Uther handed out the leg of lamb in his hand.
Seeing Uther's expression at this time, Rhode sneered in his heart, and also understood that this battle is essential.
In many cases, even if you repeatedly show weakness and show your purpose, others will not believe it. The intent of these words and expressions will never be real.
"Then thank the head of the merchant group."
After speaking, Rod extended his hand, ready to take the leg of lamb.
As Rod reached out, Uther's eyes had been focused on the hand that Rod extended.
Years of combat experience have made Uther understand that the actions of the enemy's body can reflect their own ideas to a certain extent. Especially as is the case now, as long as the hand extended by the enemy has the slightest tremor, he can attack and take the upper hand.
However, under User's careful observation, Rhode's hand was extended steadily, and finally he held it on the leg bone of the sheep. In the process, Uther could not find any chance to shoot.
With a startle in your heart, Uther seemed to realize what she was looking up, and under the black robe, Rod stared at his indifferent eyes.
Suddenly, the leg of lamb held in the hands of the two disappeared instantly, I don't know which party was included in the space ring.
Weapons appeared in the hands of the two at the same time, chopping towards each other.
