For the next two days, Rhode spent most of his time reading and studying in the tomb chamber. Even when he went outside, he stayed within a hundred or two hundred meters, gathering corpse dust and the like.
Life as a member of the Cult of the Damned was just that simple, unglamorous, and dull.
He probably did not need to worry about Arthas, Lilia, and the others for now. After all, with the Prince of Lordaeron leading them to Stromgarde, they were bound to receive a warm welcome.
Besides, once they reported what had happened at Northridge Farm, Stromgarde would surely send someone to investigate. Even if they found nothing, it would at least put them on their guard and help them respond faster to similar incidents later.
The Cult of the Damned had not rushed to spread the plague to other farms or assigned Rhode any other work, either. The main reason was that Rhode had sought out Amanenar, the man in charge, for an "academic discussion."
