Invincible Hero of Necromancer Chapter 64: Talk

"Elliott, I may call you that."

After finishing his observation of Rhodes, the mayor said slowly.

Rhodes didn't say a word, just looked at the mayor and nodded, waiting for his next words.

"As you have seen before, I am at war with the enemy. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for cutting off the enemy's retreat for me, so that the enemy's undead creatures lost a lot here."

As if explaining the previous situation, the mayor said, but without any expression on his face, he just said these words, and he couldn't hear the gratitude contained in the words at all.

At this time, Rhode also spoke up and slowly asked the mayor: "If the mayor really appreciates me, why did he let the skeleton warriors under him test me?"

Even after the battle was over, the dark clouds surrounding the mansion still did not dissipate. After listening to Rhode's question, the mayor at the entrance of the mansion replied:

"You also understand that this is a temptation. I just want to know your strength in this way. The temptation I personally lead is of course much more reliable than simple observation."

Having said that, the mayor paused, and then said: "Although it is a bit offensive, I should be the one who has lost, right? Even if I resisted those ghosts, the skeleton warriors under my command didn't lose much. But in order to test you, my skeleton warriors have suffered a lot."

The mayor's voice turned cold, and Rhode could hear the anger in his words.

If it was just for testing purposes, Rhode's use of spells to quickly kill these skeleton warriors undoubtedly made the mayor very angry.

However, Rhodes did not say anything. Since the mayor intends to test, he must be prepared to lose something. Compared with the lost skeleton warrior, the strength information obtained by the mayor is more valuable.

Rhodes asked the mayor:

"The question of loss should be very clear to you, so you don't need to mention it. You haven't answered me yet, what is the purpose of the temptation, just want to simply understand my strength? Or, are you What are you preparing for?"

After listening to Rhode's words, the mayor realized that the person in front of him could not be easily fooled, so he said:

"Aren't you curious why there are undead creatures coming to the town to attack my mansion? If you hadn't appeared here in time, maybe they would have breached my mansion."

Hearing this, Rhode knew that the mayor was planning to tell him some information and explain the reason for the attack on the mansion. Including the previous temptation may be for these words.

"Then ask the mayor to talk about it."

Rhode did not directly attack the skeleton warriors in front of him. According to the abnormality that Rhode noticed inside the mansion, even if these skeleton warriors could be killed, there were still more powerful undead creatures in the mansion.

Therefore, Rhodes followed the mayor's words and planned to hear the mayor's explanation.

"The necromancer who attacked this town before is a senior apprentice in the Necromancer Academy. This senior apprentice should be here to perform a trial mission."

"I studied in the Necromancer Academy, and it was not until I got older that I chose to pay some gold coins to the academy to come to this town and become the mayor here."

"Apart from the need to hand in gold coins every year, I don't have much effect on the college, and the college doesn't care about the amount of these gold coins. If I have any role, I can only help the college train apprentices."

"The apprentice came to destroy the town after taking the mission from the academy, and I was responsible for the response. The undead creatures you saw earlier were attacked by one such apprentice. manipulated.”

"I have dealt with such apprentices many times before. These apprentices want to destroy this town after accepting the trial mission. Their strength is not much different from mine."

"But I don't know the reason. The necromancer apprentice who is here now is far more powerful than me. If you didn't act in time to help me repel these undead creatures, relying on my skeleton warriors alone, it is possible It won't last long."

Not more than before, in the narration of these words, the mayor brought a heavy tone, maybe he wanted Rhode to believe, or maybe he was just talking.

After listening to the mayor's words, Rhode was silent.

Through the mayor's remarks and previous speculations, Rhodes has realized something.

"You have also seen that the undead creatures controlled by this necromancer earlier, plus these dark clouds in the sky, are definitely stronger than me, the skeleton warriors. With the skeleton warriors alone, I There is no way to deal with it."

"Because of this, I didn't let you go at the beginning, but wanted to use your help to deal with this necromancer and protect this town."

"Before, maybe I didn't say it clearly, so you misunderstood something, but I definitely don't have any bad thoughts."

"And I tried to test your strength, also because I want to understand your strength, so as to determine the next countermeasures."

"Through the previous battle, I also have a partial understanding of your strength. I am sure that if you are willing to help me, I will definitely be able to deal with the necromancer, and the town will not have to be destroyed by him."

"Of course, since this kind of thing has certain risks, I will not let you take risks in vain. After killing this necromancer, I will give you a treasure as a reward."

"So, Elote, what do you mean? Would you like to help me deal with this necromancer?"

After saying these words, the mayor looked at Rhodes and did not continue to say anything, but waited for Rhodes' answer.

At this time, the mayor explained the cause and effect to Rhode, including why he didn't give the map to Rhode before, the reason why the Necromancer came to attack, and most importantly, he wanted Rhode's help He dealt with the necromancer.

Rhode has no idea about what the mayor said that he would use treasures as a reward. This is just a temporary promise from the mayor. After Rhode kills the necromancer, the mayor can completely ignore it. Admit it, or find a way to kill Rhodes.

If Rhode really believed the mayor's words, he wouldn't be able to blame anyone for being deceived in the end.

After thinking for a while, in order to confirm his previous thoughts, Rhode asked the mayor:

"You can leave by yourself. According to your current strength, even if you join the war, you can get a lot of benefits. Why do you have to stay in the town and wait for others to deal with you?"

After listening to Rhode's words, the mayor replied:

"Leave? No, no. If I were the same age as you, I would leave here immediately without you reminding me. But I don't want to leave right now, and I'm already bearish on things like rights. , just want to stay here and study some spells in peace."

Rhode obviously couldn't believe what the mayor said. Ambition will not fade with time, but will become stronger. After the mayor's strength has been improved, he will also think about it accordingly. greater rights.

Therefore, the reason why he is unwilling to leave here, apart from the age that the mayor said, can only be that there is something here that makes him not want to leave, and there is a greater benefit than leaving.

Realizing this, Rhode asked the mayor:

"How many years have passed since you left the School of Necromancy? Do you have any thoughts on the School of Necromancy?"

Since the mayor asked Rhodes, Rhodes was not afraid that he would not answer his own questions, even if it was a simple and meaningless answer. Therefore, Rhodes asked the mayor about his views on the Necromancy Academy. I want to get to know the mayor.

The mayor replied: "The days of living in the academy are like yesterday. I can recall all the scenes at that time."

"Because of my poor talent, I had to choose a way to leave the academy and come here. I can't tell you exactly how many years have passed, but I'm sure it was a long time."

"As for your opinion on the academy? I like the environment of the Necromantic School very much. Compared with the orthodox School of Magic, the internal environment of the Necromancy School is more cruel. If you are not careful, you will be eliminated. I survived."

"The orthodox mage academy was originally prepared for those nobles. People like me have no background and are not talented enough. Even if they want to become stronger with time accumulation, the academy will not allow it." /

"Although there are some special reasons, the only place where everyone, regardless of aptitude, is eligible to learn spells, is the Necromancer Academy."

After listening to the mayor's words, Rhodes understood something.

The mayor's words were full of admiration for the Necromancer Academy. Even though he had left the academy for a long time, he still missed the previous academy life.

Rhode realized that if it wasn't for his lack of talent and he needed to make up for it through time accumulation, the mayor could grow into a strong necromancer in the academy. Because of this, Rhodes created a deep vigilance.

The apprentices who admired the Necromancer Academy also recognized the law of the jungle within the academy, and this admiration was reflected in their attitude towards ordinary people.

Rhodes asked the mayor how long he stayed here, but he wanted to use this question to judge the degree of the mayor's accumulation of strength.

Rhode does not believe that the mayor who has accumulated strength here for so long, the only undead creatures he really controls will be the skeleton warriors in front of him, and the aura that Rhode felt in the mayor's mansion was probably another A powerful undead creature, but Rhodes couldn't determine its type.

In addition, Rhodes still had some unanswered questions in his heart, including how the mayor knew that the Necromancer in the academy had received a trial mission, and how the mayor had dealt with this kind of visit by himself several times before. The necromancer who destroyed the village.

The answer to this question determines the strength of the mayor himself, but Rhodes understands that if he asks the mayor so directly, the mayor will definitely not answer him, or he can only judge by himself by other methods.

Rhodes said: "I remember you said that a business group was coming to this town recently."

"Yes, a friend of mine is the head of a small business group in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce. Not long ago, he was going to the City of Lamentation. I asked him to deliver some supplies to me by the way."

"It stands to reason that the business group will come to the town in the next few days. With the help of the business group, I can deal with the necromancer. But to be on the safe side, if the business group does not come, I will I still need to ask you to help me deal with the Necromancer in front of me."

"In order to reassure you, I can give you the map you need first."

Having said that, the mayor took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to the skeleton warrior beside him. The skeleton warrior was about to step forward and hand the scroll to Rhodes.

On the side, the vampire immediately took a few steps forward, took the scroll from the skeleton warrior, then came to Rhodes and handed the scroll to Rhodes.

Rhode opened the scroll in his hand. Due to the dim light around him, even if there was a lot of fire on the surrounding ground, it could only illuminate the nearby ground, and Rhode could not see the map in his hand clearly.

Rhodes put the map in his pocket and did not continue to speak.

Regardless of whether he answers the mayor's request or not, Rhodes will never return this map. Although I don't know the authenticity of the records on the map, I just need to confirm it a little.

Rhode asked the mayor: "So, what does the mayor plan to do with this necromancer? In this attack, his undead creatures have already lost most of them, maybe, he has now chosen gone."

The mayor replied: "No, this time he just came to test. He didn't bring all the undead creatures with him, and also separated some undead creatures to search for the townspeople, and immediately retreated after sensing the danger. ."

"If he sends all the undead creatures, these skeleton warriors alone, I can't resist. Therefore, I need your help so that I can kill him."

After listening to the mayor's words, Rhodes asked: "So, after successfully killing the necromancer, how should the valuable items on his body, as well as his own body, be distributed?"

Hearing Rhodes' words alone, one would think that Rhodes really agreed to the mayor's request.

"I only want his magic book~IndoMTL.com~ Apart from that, the rest of the items on his body, including this kind of treasure that can create black clouds, are all yours. What do you say?"

Rhode nodded.

Neither Rhodes nor the mayor, after testing each other's strengths, did not doubt whether they could successfully kill the necromancer apprentice, so they directly decided on the distribution method of the spoils.

"Tonight, the necromancer will obviously not attack again. But his next attack will not be delayed for too long. After all, the trial mission will not leave him for a long time, and he also needs to hurry up. Go back before the war begins..."

"He has already developed a defense against you. When he next attacks, you don't have to shoot for the time being. I will let all the skeleton warriors hold him back. When the battle is deadlocked, you will take the opportunity to kill him... "

Hearing this, Rhode directly interrupted the mayor's words and said, "No, if you want to do this, it's better for me and you to resist the undead creatures together."

The mayor's words may sound like the most correct approach, let the skeleton warriors rely on the battle formation to resist the undead creatures, and then Rhodes finds a way to kill the undead mage, but this method is for Rhodes , is actually very unfavorable.

In the previous battle, the necromancer only released two spells, and Rhode did not know his true spellcasting ability.

Because he didn't know the necromancer's spellcasting ability, Rhodes couldn't take advantage of the terrain, and the success rate of doing so was extremely low.

If Rhodes successfully kills the undead mage, the mayor in the mansion can take the opportunity to control the surrounding undead creatures and deal with Rhodes in turn. Therefore, Rhodes would not choose to do so.

The mayor also understood what Rhodes meant, so he didn't say more, but signaled Rhodes to express his thoughts.
