  Chapter 55 The Path

…………

“Meditation is over.”

"Based on your performance during meditation, your maximum magic power has been increased by 15. Currently mana is 27/65."

"Not available in shallow meditation Special feedback.”

…………

After a night of meditation, Rhodes stood up looking at the shimmering sky.

Previously, after killing the blue robe mage and counting the harvest, it was already midnight. Since it was only early in the morning, Rhodes did not meditate for a long time.

Even though wearing the Elementary Magic Amulet to increase the speed of mana regeneration, Rhodes only recovered a small half of his mana at this time.

Rhodes immediately opened the space ring in his hand after getting up. Thinking of the soul crystal in the space ring, watching the mana in the attribute panel slowly drop, Rhodes's mood is difficult to calm down.

When the mana reached 17/65, the space ring stopped absorbing mana, and Rhodes felt that he had established a connection with the space ring in his hand.

Rhodes probes consciousness into the space ring. The space inside the ring is less than two cubic meters, much smaller than the space ring Rhodes got from Elrod.

At this point, Rhodes' senses immediately locked the Wraith Crystal in the space ring.

As the quality of these Revenant Crystals cannot be known by perception alone, Rhodes took them out.

Holding the Revenant Crystal in his hand, Rhodes roughly counted it. There are thirteen Revenant Crystals in total, with different sizes and qualities.

By the light of the sky, Rhodes began to take a closer look, and at the same time, he carefully sensed the Revenant Crystals in his hands.

These Revenant Crystals vary in quality, ranging from shattered and defective ones to intact and pure high-quality ones.

In this batch of ghost crystals, the last one is only the size of gold coin, the interior is extremely turbid, and there are no small gaps in the periphery, which can only release weak death energy. For the undead mage apprentice, This soul crystal is not very useful, and it is not worth a lot of money at all.

In comparison, the most valuable Revenant Crystal, although only the size of a thumb, has a rounded appearance and extremely pure inside, releasing strong death energy outwards all the time.

In Rhodes' perception, during the time he was examining the crystal of the dead soul, the energy of death gathered around exceeded the original tomb, and nearly half of the energy of death was produced by this corpse. The purest soul crystal is released.

The rest of the Revenant Crystals in Rhodes' hands, although the purity is not as pure as this one, are generally of average quality, except for a few obviously defective ones.

Rhodes guessed that Uther had taken the Soul Crystal from the space ring many times to his hand to check, and it was because of Uther's behavior that there was still some death energy left in his tent. This is why the original Rhodes could feel the energy of death in the tent.

Under the superposition of the number of Revenant Crystals, the released Death Energy will have an additional increase. Even two soul crystals of extremely poor quality, after moving closer together, released a significant increase in the energy of death.

Rhodes understands that when the war begins, the crystal of the dead soul in his hand will be worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

While the Revenant Crystals are extremely valuable, Rhodes apparently has no intention of selling them. Rhodes has his own plans for how to use the Revenant Crystals.

Besides, Vampire, who was in a dormant state, felt the strong death energy on the side, woke up directly from the dormant state, and looked in the direction of Rhodes.

Originally, Rhodes gave Vampire the Revenant Crystal obtained from the initial tomb in order to restore his strength quickly before he went into deep meditation in the Carriage of the Business Group.

After a series of previous battles, the crystal of the soul that vampire had originally put in his pocket fell out at some point, and was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, Rhodes selected a revenant crystal of acceptable quality and gave it to vampire to carry it with him, so that it could always absorb the death energy released by the revenant crystal.

In order to prevent the death energy from overflowing, Rhodes put the rest of the Revenant Crystal into Uther's space ring.

Rhodes continues to check out this space ring. Except for the Revenant Crystal, there was only one leg of lamb in the space ring, which was the one that Uther had taken in before the battle at the top of the watchtower.

In this space ring, there is nothing but the Revenant Crystal and the Leg of Lamb.

Originally, Uther took out his weapons and shields from this space ring. In addition to the weapons that can be used directly, these extremely valuable soul crystals were added, and almost the entire ring was removed. The space is full.

Because the space ring contained is not very big, Uther obviously didn't put all his personal items in it. Rhodes reckons that his item should be placed on the rest of the carriage within the Business Group.

After checking the space ring, Rhodes will replace the achievement [Peaceful Heart], which is worn to enhance the effect of meditation. Seeing that the vampire was almost recovering, Rhodes decided to set off on the road.

Rhodes took the vampire towards a direction in the woods. Without knowing the terrain, Rhodes could only go in roughly one direction.

During the previous battle, Rhodes' original horse also somehow escaped the battlefield. At this point, Rhodes and vampire can only move forward on foot.

Previously, Rhodes had climbed the watchtower to take a look. Although I don't know how to take the specific path, it can still be done by judging the positions of Eli and Dia and roughly selecting a direction.

After walking for a while, the surrounding trees began to become sparse, and the ground was no longer littered, replaced by some ordinary vegetation.

Moving on, Rhodes has a wide field of vision and can see far into the distance, thanks to fewer surrounding trees and no more obstructions blocking the line of sight.

At this point, Rhodes noticed a road in the distance. One end of the road leads into the woods from which Rhodes had come before, and the other ends into the depths of the plain.

This path is not spacious and overgrown with weeds, but the traces of being crushed by horses and carts all year round are very obvious. Although it is a little far away, Rhodes with the eagle eye can recognize it at a glance.

Although Rhodes doesn't know where this path leads, is it the City of Sorrows that he has chosen at the end. But Rhodes knew that this path must lead to an exact place. It is certainly more appropriate to walk along this path than to go without direction in the forest.

Rhodes understood that where there are roads for carriage to travel, there is trade. As long as you follow this path, you can accurately come to a gathering place of creatures. when the time comes whether it's in exchange for a map to move on, or something else, it can be achieved.

Rhodes took vampire and walked towards this path.
