  Chapter 36 The Silver Seal IV

Rhodes took vampire to the Silver Seal Business Group Qualify for another carriage.

There are two rows of seats on the left and right sides of the carriage, but the space is not spacious, obviously only for a small number of people.

After entering the carriage from the side, Rhodes took a seat in the car.

Looking at some of the interior decoration of the carriage, and the windows that can be opened on the sides, Rhodes realized that the carriage was designed to transport passengers.

Rhodes speculates that Silver Seal Business Group itself will choose to bring some passengers, but not too many, due to the lucrative pay for transporting passengers. Once the number of travelers is too high, things can happen that are beyond the control of Silver Seal Business Group.

For carrying passengers, it is definitely cheaper to have a large Business Group. Travelers who want to go to the City of Sorrows have long since left with the former big Business Group. As a result, until the first two days of departure, Silver Seal Business Group did not find any passengers.

This is why, at the first time, Uther did not directly refuse Rhodes to become a passenger because of his identity as the undead mage of Rhodes, but negotiated travel expenses with Rhodes.

At first, Uther's idea was to make Rhodes pay for the exorbitant travel expenses through verbal repression. But Rhodes, through his own observation, noticed the real cargo he was transporting, so Uther had to waive Rhodes' travel expenses as Rhodes' hush money.

After judging that the Silver Seal Business Group really shipped the crystals of the dead, Rhodes just proposed that he wanted to become a passenger, and he did not take the opportunity to extort a sum of money from the Business Group. He also had his own considerations. .

As Rhodes said, he himself is a traveler who follows the Business Group, and along the way, he must be taken care of by the Business Group.

Silver Seal Business Group has been willing to let Rhodes conceal this information and not charge any travel expenses to Rhodes and his party, which itself is a sign of weakness. If Rhodes really wants to be unsatisfied, the Business Group isn't to be trifled with either.

Along the way, Rhodes can't always guard against retaliation from the Business Group. Several senior professionals, plus a sorcerer, under a reasonable arrangement, may not be able to kill Rhodes and vampire.

As is the case now, although Business Group cannot get travel expenses from Rhodes, it will not forcibly kill Rhodes whose strength is unknown and increase losses to itself. Rhodes can also follow the Business Group to Dia, and it's all about getting what they need.

"The Crystal of the Revenant..."

Sitting in the carriage, Rhodes recalled the previous situation, took out the Crystal of Revenant from the space ring, checked it, and handed it to Next to the vampire.

Vampire immediately felt the Supreme Treasure. After taking it, he held the Crystal of Revenant tightly in his hand and kept it close to his body.

The undead crystal releases death energy all the time. This death energy can help undead mage transform undead creatures, and also help undead creatures advance.

Therefore, in Dia, soul crystals are very popular with undead mage, but in other places they can only be used as jewelry decorations, and the price is far lower than that of Dia.

According to Rhodes' feeling, the advancement of vampire in the previous tomb was probably triggered by this soul crystal.

At this point, Rhodes had no idea how long the journey would take, as he had planned to follow the Business Group to the City of Sorrows. Give the vampire the crystal of the dead soul, and hope that he can increase his strength by absorbing the energy of death.

After the progression is interrupted, vampire cannot advance again for a short time, but can rely on the death energy released by the revenant crystal to maintain the strength at the third rank Peak and wait for the next advance opportunity.

At this point, the sky outside the carriage was completely dark.

Watching vampire comfortably absorb the energy emanating from the Revenant Crystal, Rhodes himself had some plans.

Rhodes did not choose to meditate. Rhodes' mana has reached the upper limit corresponding to the knowledge attribute, and ordinary meditation cannot have any effect except to accelerate the recovery of mana.

At this point, the only thing that can improve Rhodes' strength is deep meditation.

However, the conditions required to enter deep meditation are harsh, and Rhodes himself has some ideas.

Since coming to this world, the successive battles have left Rhodes without any time to rest. Even if there is a little spare time, they are preparing for the next battle, and the only way to rest is meditation.

Until now, Rhodes has never slept once. Through meditation, even if the physical exhaustion can be recovered, the mental sleepiness caused by the battle cannot be eliminated.

In this state, Rhodes does not think he can enter a state of deep meditation smoothly. The experience of the past life taught Rhodes that instead of meditating uselessly, it is better to take the time to adjust his state to the best, and then try deep meditation.

Therefore, Rhodes chooses to adjust his mental state by sleeping.

Because of the limited space in the carriage, Rhodes was unable to lie down on his entire body, so he could only sit on the seat with his arms crossed, his back against the wooden planks at the back of the carriage, his eyes closed, and he began to try to fall asleep.

As for whether the Silver Seal Business Group will take this opportunity to besiege itself, Rhodes is not worried.

The Business Group with a large number of Revenant Crystals will be more cautious than Rhodes thinks, for fear that an unusual move will make other forces notice him. Is there anything more outrageous than killing passengers in the station?

…………

Long time.

Perhaps due to the vigilance in the subconscious, Rhodes could not fall asleep completely, but remained semi-awake even when he fell asleep.

The surrounding noise, coupled with the vibrations from under his feet, woke Rhodes from his sleep in time. Vampire seemed to feel nothing, still absorbing the energy emitted by the crystal of the dead.

In an instant, Rhodes pushed the side window open a crack and looked out.

The sky is still dark, showing a kind of dark blue rays of light, the entire Business Group has been prepared, and a large number of carriages have gathered around, and are preparing to move in one direction.

"Are you awake?"

As if sensing the movement in the carriage, a hoarse voice came from the front of the carriage.

Rhodes pushed the window open and peered forward. It was the thief I saw yesterday, sitting in front of the carriage where he was sitting, whipping the horse in front of him with a whip.

"You should be honored. The Business Group has changed the departure time for you."

Deliberately explaining this to Rhodes, the thief said this, He didn't say a word, just drove the carriage ahead.

Rhodes didn't say much, closed the window again, and sat back in the carriage.

Rhodes understood what the thieves meant. Since he was not sure whether the information would be leaked or not, after a night of preparation, the Business Group chose to set off a day earlier and set off early this morning.

It was just dawn when the Business Group formed a long queue, leaving the Freelance Chamber of Commerce premises and heading towards the town gate.

At this time, under the dark blue sky, several people dressed in black robes were staring at the caravan, indicating that the road would not be peaceful.
