Invincible Hero of Necromancer Chapter 56: Small town
Along the chosen path, Rhodes led the vampire all the way.
On the road, except for the sound of footsteps stepping on the ground and the sound of the surrounding wind, there is no sound.
Originally, in the territory of Eri, Rhodes was also advancing with the vampires like this, but there was still some noise around, whether it was the chirping of birds, insects, or the sounds of biological activities, the surroundings were silent at this time.
Rhodes wasn't in a hurry, he just kept going. Since there are no large creatures around, even Rhodes can't do it if he wants to find a living creature.
Fortunately, along this road, Rhodes has found his way forward, so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
…………
This is a quiet town.
The town is located not far from the Diya border. Due to the long distance, the dark sky that shrouded the sky of the city of lamentation all day long has disappeared without a trace, replaced by continuous stratus clouds. It seems that in the territory of Diya, there is rarely a time to see sunlight .
There are not many people in the town, most of them are elderly people.
For some reason, the young and middle-aged people in the town have long chosen to flee this place and go to the nearby City of Sorrows to roam. Especially after hearing that the Necromancer Academy is collecting a large number of apprentices, everyone fantasizes about being able to join the academy and become a powerful Necromancer after learning magic in the academy.
The departure of people one after another made the already empty town seem even more deadly.
In the small town, an old man is basking in the sun doing nothing. Judging from the sad look on his face, his mood was not calm at this time.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes turned to the street not far away. At this moment, two men in black robes were walking towards him on the street.
As if thinking of something, the old man showed a very frightened expression, but he did not dare to make any movement on his body, just watching the man in black robe walk in front of him.
A black-robed man in front also noticed this, and lowered the hood on his head to reveal his original face, it was Rhodes.
It turned out that, following the road, Rhodes and the vampire finally entered the town.
As soon as he walked into the town, Rhodes noticed something unusual. Due to his mastery of spiritualism, in Rhodes' perception, the interior of the town is full of death energy. The scope of this death energy is extremely large, and the entire town is caged in it.
Rhodes understood that something should have happened inside the town, but he was just guessing what happened, not sure about it.
At this time, seeing the expression of the old man in front of him, Rhode was obviously certain of something.
Rhodes guessed that the lords here anticipated that the war was about to start and began to make the residents of the town into undead creatures. Later, due to the coming of war, even if you do not choose to join the war, you can exchange undead creatures for a lot of gold coins.
Judging from the death energy shrouded in the town, the lord of the town has been transforming undead creatures for a while, and Rhode has some ideas about this.
At the same time, Rhodes also realized that it took some time to follow the business group, and he walked in the forest for nearly a day and a half. The news of the war is no longer a secret. As long as people near the border area go to the Thieves Guild to collect information, they can judge the occurrence of the war.
Because of this, many people began to move.
Rhode realized that his progress was a little slow. If he couldn't get enough experience points in the early stage of the war, he wouldn't have such a good chance when the high-level creatures in Eli made his move. .
When he came to this town, Rhodes originally wanted to ask someone quickly to find a way to go to the City of Screaming, but after confirming some circumstances, Rhodes had a new idea.
Didn't look at the old man in front of him for the first time. After putting down his hood, Rhodes looked around the town, as if to confirm something, and finally looked at the old man.
Rhodes asked the old man, "Where is the interior council in the town? Or, where is the mayor's mansion?"
The old man swallowed, raised his hand tremblingly, stretched out his finger, and pointed to a tall building in the town.
Rhode nodded at him, and then walked in the direction pointed by the old man.
Right after Rhodes left, the old man stayed where he was, without any movement for a while.
The old man recalled the young face under the hood, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. From the looks of it, the man in black robe was not even as old as the grandson who went to the City of Sorrows by himself, but this This kind of power, the old man has also seen it on the mayor.
Although in the previous conversation, Rhodes just asked the old man a question, but the experience brought by the years made the old man find something unusual in Rhodes' demeanor.
Thinking of what happened in the small town recently, the old man fell into deep fear for a while, and wanted to go back to the house to pack up and escape~IndoMTL.com~ But due to his old age and frailty, even if he left here, he could still Where to flee to?
The fear dissipated, replaced by a deep despair.
…………
Rhode walked towards the position pointed by the old man and observed it as he walked. The town is large and the number of houses is acceptable, but from the feedback from the reconnaissance technique, Rhodes knows that many houses have been abandoned for a long time.
The actual number of people in the entire town is less than Rhodes originally thought.
Following the road, Rhodes came to a mansion. Along the way, this mansion is the largest building in the town.
At this time, the guards at the entrance of the mansion were obviously stunned when they saw Rhodes coming to the front of the mansion.
The guard obviously didn't expect that someone would stand directly at the door of the mansion, ready to scold, but noticed how Rhode and the vampire were dressed.
The guard seemed to remember something, swallowed what he was about to say, and directly opened the main door of the mansion, and then did not say to lead the way for Rhodes, but ran directly into the mansion.
Seeing the guards open the front door of the mansion, Rhode did nothing, but just stood at the door and waited.
Rhodes knew that the guard had seen that he was a necromancer earlier, and turned to the mayor. At this time, Rhodes was waiting for the mayor's response.
Originally, after Rhodes entered the town, he noticed the anomaly in the town. After obtaining some information through reconnaissance, Rhodes changed his original plan and planned to come to the mansion to conduct a test to see how the mayor would deal with him.
In the process of responding to the temptation, if the mayor is not careful, there will be some flaws.
If the mayor's strength is weak, Rhodes can find an opportunity to kill him and harvest the rest of the undead.
