Invincible Hero of Necromancer Chapter 33: Silver Seal 1
As early as during the game in the previous life, Rhodes deeply understood that intelligence plays a vital role. Whether it is business or combat, there needs to be sufficient intelligence support before a plan is determined.
Perhaps it was the influence of the Thieves Guild selling intelligence. Everyone in the game understands that intelligence has value in itself and cannot be obtained out of thin air.
If you want to get information, you can either spend time and energy investigating it yourself, or spend gold coins and buy it from someone who knows.
Of course, except for the Thieves Guild, the information sold by the rest of the people is not necessarily correct, it is more likely to be completely wrong information, but it is more or less mixed with some useful information.
If Rhodes was unwilling to pay gold coins for intelligence, he would definitely not be able to obtain this intelligence from the maid, but could only get some basic information.
After receiving Rhode's gold coins, the maid gave the information inside the chamber of commerce. For Rhode at this time, it undoubtedly gave him an intuitive understanding of the strength of the chamber of commerce.
Not long after, under the leadership of the maid, Rhodes and the vampire came to the Silver Seal Merchant Guild's station. The maid stepped forward and explained a few words to the guards stationed outside the caravan, then turned and left.
After the maid left, the guards led Rhodes to the interior of the station because they had a general idea of Rhode's intentions.
During the process of walking through the entire station, Rhodes observed the situation inside the station.
In the station, most of the members are busy, placing the goods on the spare carriage.
At a glance, Rhodes saw that most of the goods were sealed in wooden boxes, and he couldn't see what was inside. The members of the chamber of commerce seemed extremely laborious in the process of transporting the wooden box. Rhode listened carefully and could hear the sound of iron objects colliding inside the wooden box.
On the side, several people who looked like overseers also noticed Rhodes' arrival, but they didn't say much, just looked at the guards leading Rhodes ahead, still doing the work.
While Rhodes was observing the surrounding environment, the guards led Rhodes to the largest tent in the station.
The guard asked Rhodes to wait outside the tent, entered the tent and reported a few words, then walked out, signaling Rhodes to enter.
Rhode led the vampire into the tent.
As soon as he entered the camp, Rhodes keenly sensed that something was wrong. It's not that Rhodes has a sense of danger, but the surrounding atmosphere makes Rhodes feel very familiar.
The vampire also felt this way, and began to feel a little restless. Rhode calmed it down with a mental mark, and then observed the environment in the tent.
There are some sundries in the tent, but overall it's pretty neat. Perhaps not because of the permanent residence, there were no tables in the tent, only a few chairs were placed.
At this time, a person was sitting on a chair facing the entrance of the tent, and Rhode looked at him.
This man is wearing a commoner, but the commoner cannot hide his burly figure, his face is firm, and the scars carved by several sharp tools on his face are telling the deeds of the past. The whole person exudes a kind of momentum all the time.
Rhode knew that, according to the information provided by the maid, this person should be the head of the business group, Uther.
The head of the maid's mouth has the strength of a senior soldier. According to Rhodes' understanding, the corresponding rank should be at the third rank. High-level warriors are equivalent to formal mages, corresponding to the fourth level.
Looking at Rhodes who entered the camp, the leader in front of him motioned Rhodes to sit down on the chair beside him.
After Rhode was seated, the head of the group took the lead and said to Rhode: "I'm Uther, the head of the Silver Seal Merchant Group. I have already heard from the previous guard that your purpose for coming here is to become a passenger. , follow the business group to the City of Screaming, right?"
Seeing Rhodes nodding, Uther continued: "You should already know that, apart from our business group, not many business groups will go to the City of Screaming recently, right?"
Rhode continued to nod, and Uther said, "So, you two are both Necromancers, right?"
Rhodes didn't intend to conceal his identity as a necromancer. Rather than being discovered by the caster halfway, he might as well let the other party know from the beginning. It's just that Rhodes has some doubts in his heart. Whether it is the veteran at the door or the head of the business group at this time, he has not been detected by mana, but he can see his identity as a necromancer at a glance, so he asked:
"How do you know that we are Necromancers? Based on our appearance alone, we should be dressed like thieves."
Uther laughed: "The hood and the hem."
Before Rhode could continue to question, Uther continued: "Although thieves also wear black robes, for the convenience of battle, the hem only reaches the area in front of the knees at most, unlike your black robes, which almost drag to the instep. "
"In the case of a hood, thieves rely more on their masks to hide their identity, rather than relying on hoods. And the hood behind the necromancer's robes is wider. Except for Diya, the rest of the place will not sell this hood. Various styles of black robes~IndoMTL.com~ These can be observed by experience alone."
"What's more, you have a kind of aura...not something a thief can have. Based on these circumstances, isn't your identity as a necromancer ready to be revealed?"
Rhodes was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that just a black robe would hide this information in it. Since he was not a necromancer in his previous life, Rhodes did not notice these details from his previous game experience.
The game experience of the previous life did not cover all the knowledge in the game. This undoubtedly reminded Rhodes that if he paid attention to the differences in the black robes, he might not be unable to observe them, but he, who relied too much on his previous life experience, neglected these details.
What Rhode didn't expect even more was that he was just a tentative question. He thought Uther would fool around at will, but he would actually say all of this information.
Even the information brought by experience is still extremely valuable to those who do not know.
Rhodes knew that the reason why Uther told these news was either that he wanted to use this to overpower himself in order to increase his travel expenses, or that he himself was a person who didn't care about these details.
However, to be able to achieve the position of the head of the business group, Rhode does not believe that he will be a person who will give information at will. The purpose of this can only be to increase the travel expenses.
Seeing that Rhode seemed to be thinking about something, Uther continued: "Although I often deal with necromancers, my subordinates may not accept it. The two necromancers want to go to Diya as tourists, what do you think? It's all a little suspicious, so..."
Uther did not continue to speak, but looked at Rhodes, waiting for his answer.
Rhode understood that if he didn't say something, this business group would not bring him unless he paid a high price.
