Chapter 419 - A Deadly Secret (2/2)

However, even though this question was bugging him, he didn’t need an answer to it now He decided to throw this thought away, pulled himself up, and approached the corpse dust of Vulture At this ht was nowhere to be seen What remained was a pile of pale, white dust as a tribute to his final moment in this world

The entire conition Apart from the destruction which the Black Hound left after self-exploding, Gillian’s flip out and Anne’s banging with her shi+eld had brought along many chaotic scenes Just look at the broken bones scattered around and the plants that were burnt…

And in this complete disorder, the number of spoils that Rhode could find was limited

The Black Hound’s self-explosion let off an ie ht like Vulture This went to show just how li in the pile of ‘ashes’ in the Undead Knight, Rhode was only able to loot a couple of uni, recoverable with some patchwork, which Rhode valued as only a dinner worthy of a few gold coins The Cyan Moonlight was much more unfortunate Perhaps it was the first victi split into half, and this rare weapon instantly turned into worthless

The only valuable loots to Rhode were Vulture’s ‘Soul Core’ and ‘Soul Flute’ As a high-level undead creature driven by the power of the soul, the quality of Vulture’s Soul Core was iical equipment used to order about the Bone Griffins Rhode could use this equipment to sumh this was asking for death under the sky of the Country of Light, Rhode could still cos in the border area of the Land of Atoneht as cover

Of course, with the precondition that no one discovers it

That was all for Rhode’s spoils of war

Rhode wasn’t entirely furious or dissatisfied with this result After all, that battle involved his life, which was unlike the gah to survive this ordeal As for the equipood ones, but so be it if there weren’t any At least he got to keep his life

Harboring this thought, Rhode packed his loots and approached the chariot It was seely impossible for them to hasten on with their journey because the unfortunate senior chariot driver was long dead and the few horses were murdered by the undead creatures at the start Furthermore, in order to resist the explosion, Gillian forcefully used the chariot to defend against it, which left huge dae Now, they only had two choices They could choose to continue their journey while carrying all their luggage from the chariot However, this wouldn’t be an easy task because even with the chariot, they would need at least half a day’s tile City If they were to walk, they would need at least two to three days

The second choice was to ‘hitch a ride’ After all, this was a co through from time to tih explanations However, Rhode didn’t wish to start any incident again as he had had enough

In the end, Rhode decided to go on foot to the nearest village to see if they offered any chariots or horses for rental—at least he could avoid relying on his legs to reach the Eagle City Rhode knew that the local garrisons would be notified of this incident; however, he didn’t have the intention to reason out with the in the Eagle City

But, before that…

“Miss Deland”

Rhode approached Natasha and Grendy with a stern expression At thislady was pale-faced as she hadn’t fully calmed down from the earlier battle In response, Natasha nodded instinctively; however, Rhode’s next words to the young lady changed her expression greatly

“I didn’t want to ed into this, I think I have the right to knohat exactly a”

Natasha’s sto lady took two steps back in uncertainty and found herself against the chariot door At this ht, that’s right Anne doesn’t even knoas Anne fighting for”

“I agree, Master No matter what, we have sacrificed our chariot, the poor chariot driver, and our precious ti that we’re protecting orth this y and time of ours”

Grendy and Natasha sulked and didn’t kno to respond However, what Rhode said was reasonable There ainst undead creatures Even if the contradiction between the living and the dead was irreconcilable, Rhode wasn’t a brainwashed citizen of the Country of Light ould kill any undead creatures whenever he spotted one After fighting for the whole night and even putting hiered Vulture to lead his elite unit in person

Natasha exchanged glances with Grendy and the latter nodded helplessly After gaining her coh and she handed over the wooden box that she held tightly in her arms

Rhode took over the wooden box curiously and opened it

Then, his expression suddenly changed
