Perceiving the sudden explosion of mana wave not far away, both rod and Vera were shocked.
The appearance of mana fluctuation, especially in the case of villa's escape not long ago, is not a good omen, which is enough to make them keep full vigilance.
"It's them!" Vera whispered, "it must be the enemies of the quiet city. They know that I'm running up the miris River, so they send people to pursue me."
"Those hateful elves really think I'm running away. I'll let them have a taste of me." Vera said angrily.
However, rod raised his hand to stop Vera's action: "you didn't clean up the area around the miris River, did you?"
Vera nodded: "I think the intention of cleaning up all the creatures near the river is too obvious, so I didn't do it. I just let the necromancer lurk from underwater to the quiet city."
Rod moved his eyes and looked in the direction of the mana wave: "that's right. It's not necessarily the chasing enemy that causes this wave of mana, it may also be other creatures. No matter what kind of creature it is, it shouldn't appear at this time."
Mana fluctuation originates from the use of magic. In addition to mages, some high-level animals also have excellent casting ability, which can cause strong mana fluctuation.
"Come on, let's go and have a look."
With that, rod went to the forest where the mana wave came, while Vera followed. The corpse wizard was still lurking at the bottom of the river, and did not follow them.
In the process of marching, rod felt a sense of peeping in his heart. It seemed that he was being watched by some kind of creature, and his every move was in his eyes.
Feeling the abnormality on his body, rod continued to go deep into the forest.
After a while, a small wooden house appeared in the dense jungle.
Different from the tree house that the elves like to build, the wooden house in front of them sits on the ground smoothly, and the roof is scattered with a layer of thatch. Outside the wooden house, there are a large number of mushrooms of different kinds, which are very bright in color, and the soil has new traces.
"Master, do you smell it?" Vera said solemnly, while rod was puzzled.
Due to the characteristics of the body itself, rod did not maintain human form and could not distinguish the smell around him. After listening to Vera's words, rod realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
Fortunately, at this time, rod mastered a variety of secret methods, among which there was an aromatic secret method for him to distinguish the odor. Rod used it immediately, and in an instant, the perception of mixed odor appeared in rod's mind.
Rod noticed that the smell around the wooden house, besides the bloody smell that is hard to disperse, also has the unique smell of rotten corpses. For the necromancers, this smell is the thing they are most familiar with, and it is impossible to forget it.
"Do you know what's going on here?" Rod asked in a deep voice. The wooden house in front of him looked very strange. It didn't look like the style of those elves.
"I don't know. Please release the cloud of death and erase everything here. " Vera said quickly.
However, rod did not do so. Looking at the wooden house in front of him, rod seems to think of something. The environment here makes rod guess the rank of the owner of the wooden house.
While rod was observing the wooden house, the door of the wooden house opened slowly, and a woman in grey was dragging a huge cloth bag out.
"You two just keep watching, or come and help me?" A hoarse voice suddenly came from the front of the cabin.
"... master, is she talking about us?" Vera asked rod suspiciously.
Don't pay attention to one side of Vera, rod first step toward the wooden house.
From the woman in grey, rod could feel a threat, far less intense than when he faced the dragon in the land of the dragon. But rod still didn't relax his vigilance, the peeping eye couldn't work on her, and her rank was at least above level five.
As the distance approached, the appearance of the woman in grey also appeared in rod's sight. Her skin was flabby and wrinkled, and she seemed to have lost its vitality. Her face was covered with black spots.
What matters most to rod is the part of her eyes, where there is only darkness, no eyelids, no eyeballs, only a deep darkness, which makes it difficult for people to look away.
From her body, rod can feel the meaning of gaze. Obviously, she is looking at rod in her own unique way.
Similar to the old woman in grey, rod in the form of skeleton also has no regular eyeball. The fire of soul in the eye socket replaces the functions of various organs, so that rod can still see the outside world, but he doesn't know how the old woman in grey in front of him can see him.
Looking at the appearance of the old woman in grey, rod also confirmed her rank.
Not only her appearance, the unique environment around the wooden house, but also the anomaly that rod vaguely perceived, all explained to rod that the old woman in grey in front of her was a high-level magician.
The secret methods mastered by the magicians make them look bad in the eyes of other creatures, even weird. Ordinary creatures always try their best to avoid getting involved with the magicians. Like the necromancer, the magician is an unknown symbol.
Since the magicians originated from the former blakada, most of them master some practical magic while mastering the secret. When the magicians don't show the secret, they don't look much different from ordinary magicians.
In order to avoid identity confusion, magicians living in the surface world have their own names, witch and wizard. Similar to the old woman in grey, she can be called a witch. Of course, in the mouth of most ordinary creatures, this kind of name is not a kind of honorific name at all.
Different regions have different attitudes towards enchanters. Blakada and eracia do not welcome the arrival of enchanters. Blakada expels the enchanters in the territory, and eracia directly kills the exposed enchanters.
Only Eli has a welcome attitude towards the arrival of the magician. The magician can live in Eli openly, which is also a rare sight in other areas.
The elves of Eli have always been very tolerant of the creatures who come to this dense forest. Whether they are human beings or the alien creatures in the eyes of other creatures, they can settle down in the dense forest. Of course, to get rid of the necromancers, no matter what kind of forces they are, they will not allow the Necromancers to exist.
