  Chapter 40 Watchtower II

Standing on top of the watchtower, Rhodes can look far away . Rhodes predicts that the height of this watchtower should be sixty or seventy meters.

On the edge of the top of the watchtower, Rhodes looks down.

In Rhodes' sight, the bonfire originally lit by the Business Group was now only a small spot, and the crowd surrounding the bonfire also seemed extremely small at this time.

Using Eagle Eye, Rhodes can count the people around the campfire. Since the Eagle Eye is only at the primary level, it's still a little blurry. If it is an expert eagle eye technique, you can even see the expressions of everyone by the bonfire from here.

Eagle Eye is essential for melee pros in order to observe everything that is happening in combat. Especially for the occupation of scouts, the eagle eye technique is particularly important.

Rhodes looked in one direction. There is still a forest around the watchtower, but the number of trees has begun to decrease, and the height is completely incomparable to what Rhodes had seen before, and a plain has appeared in the distance. Even without pathfinding, Rhodes can see the anomaly.

“Dia...”

Looking at the plain in the distance, Rhodes understood that the location of the watchtower should be the border of Eri, where it meets Dia. Just walk a little further ahead to enter Dia.

Why did the Business Group stop here, Rhodes finally understood, it should be to take a good night's rest while still in Eri, to recover from the fatigue caused by the past few days. , and set off early tomorrow morning to enter the territory of Dia.

Knowing that the Business Group has reached the frontier, although it is impossible to see how many days it took for deep meditation through the system log, Rhodes knows that he spends more time in deep meditation than he thinks. Long.

After a few days of deep meditation, Rhodes was still hungry even though his consumption was reduced to a minimum.

Rhodes sat down on the edge of the watchtower, and at the same time took the dry food he was carrying from the space ring, brought it to his mouth, and bit down hard.

In Rhodes' space ring, part of the dry food comes from the original tomb, and part of it was originally stored in the space ring, and the quantity is enough for Rhodes to use. This is what Rhodes has been eating before.

As it remains in the space ring, Rhodes can swallow it without much chewing. Although there is no smell, it can restore physical strength.

Suddenly, Rhodes, who was eating the dry food, noticed something, got up instantly, put the dry food into the space ring, and looked behind him at the same time. From the edge of the original watchtower platform, come to a position near the center.

Rhodes heard heavy footsteps behind him, on the stairs inside the watchtower. The owner of the footsteps didn't even want to hide it, and even increased the footsteps with force.

Not long after, as the sound of footsteps approached, Rhodes also saw the silhouette behind him. It was the head of the Business Group, Uther, who was originally by the bonfire.

Uther's silhouette appears at the entrance to the top platform of the watchtower. Rhodes saw that Uther was holding a large piece of roast lamb shank in Uther's hand, and the aroma of roast meat was emanating from it.

Rhodes didn't smell anything just before Uther appeared in Rhodes' field of vision, and during the sound of the footsteps, this steaming roast leg of lamb, apparently Uther from taken out of the space ring.

Uther ascended the watchtower, surely in search of Rhodes, but stopped at the entrance to the top platform.

Perhaps, Uther's original intention was to use the reason of sharing food with Rhodes to observe whether Rhodes behaved abnormally. But at this time, Uther apparently also noticed this environment on the top platform.

Originally, because Uther didn't know the strength of the two undead mage in the Business Group, although Uther was very afraid, he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke him.

At this time, what surprised Uther was that the two undead mages in the Business Group took the initiative to separate. I just don't know if the person who performed deep meditation before was the one in front of him.

Uther quickly weighed the state of the two sides. He was still wearing armor, and with the weapons in the space ring, it could be said that he was the strongest state without spell. In such an environment at this time, even an official undead mage would not necessarily be able to stop his raid.

In an instant, Uther's heart began to struggle violently. Originally, the idea of ​​just coming up to observe the mage of the undead began to change.

Although the undead mage is willing to show weakness, but seeing this good opportunity, Uther is not willing to let it go easily.

Even though he guessed that these two undead mage might not really come for the ghost crystals in the caravan, Uther still couldn't rest assured.

According to their previous performance, Uther is about 70% sure that these two undead mage will not snatch the undead crystal. But if they are killed here at this time, then 70% will become 100%, which can completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Business Group.

For Uther, at this time, when he has the advantage of the terrain, there should be no suspense in dealing with an undead mage.

Finally, as if thinking of something, Uther made up his mind.

Rhodes also felt something, but didn't move. As if because of the light, Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, just looking at Uther on the stairs.

The shadow of Rhodes stretches across the platform as the afterglow shines through.

Even though Uther struggled inside, his face was well controlled, and he didn't show it. In Rhodes' eyes, Uther remained calm.

“I didn’t see you coming out all the way. The first time I saw you outside the carriage, the Business Group has some food that I want to share with you.” Uther said, with a smile on his face I mean, I want to make myself look a little more normal.

With that said, Uther held out the leg of lamb in his hands.

Seeing Uther's expression at this time, Rhodes sneered in his heart, and also understood that this battle must be fought.

Many times, even if you repeatedly show weakness and show your purpose, others will not believe it. These words, the intentions expressed, never have the reality of their own strength.

"Thanks to Business Group then."

With that, Rhodes stretched out his hand, ready to take the leg of lamb.

As Rhodes stretched out his hand, Uther's eyes were always focused on the hand that Rhodes stretched out.

Years of combat experience have taught Uther that the movements of the enemy's body can reflect their own thoughts to a certain extent. Especially in this situation, as long as the enemy's outstretched hand has the slightest tremor, he can attack and gain the upper hand.

But, under Uther's careful observation, Rhodes' hand stretched out steadily, finally gripping the sheep's leg bone. During this process, Uther could not find any chance to shoot.

Uther heart startled, seemed to realize something, lifts the head, saw Rhodes staring at him indifferently under the black robe.

Suddenly, the leg of lamb held by the two disappeared instantly, and I don't know who was included in the space ring.

The weapons appeared in the hands of the two at the same time, and they slashed towards each other.
