Chapter 59 Dark Sky

Staring at Rhodes for a while, the mayor replied, "If you're not in such a hurry, a business group will come to the town in a few days, and you can follow them to the City of Sorrows."

Rhodes stood outside the mansion. After listening to the mayor's words, he seemed to have thought of something, so he said, "There doesn't seem to be a freelance chamber of commerce in the town."

The mayor replied: "There are not many people in the town, but they still have to live. Many basic materials need the help of business groups to transport them."

The mayor's speech was not fast, and he did not become impatient because he was tempted by the foreign necromancer. Instead, he used a soothing tone. When answering Rhode's question, he kept staring at Rhode's eyes.

After listening to the mayor's explanation, Rhodes was more sure of what he was thinking, and then asked the mayor, "I want to leave immediately, does the mayor have a map around here?"

The mayor replied: "You should understand the value of the map. If you need someone to lead the way, maybe you can find experienced people in the town."

Rhodes did not choose to rebut. After a while of silence, Rhode said to the mayor, "Then, don't bother the mayor."

After hearing this, the mayor reminded Rhodes: "The only hotel in the town is at the back of the town, in front of the forest at the back. If you plan to stay in the town and wait for the arrival of the business group, you can Rest there for a few days."

Although Rhode noticed something, he didn't say anything, just nodded to the mayor, and then said nothing.

The butler walked out of the mansion, turned around and closed the door, leading Rhodes back to the path he came from.

Different from before entering the mansion, when returning from the path, Rhodes kept thinking about the mayor's words. Although he did not fully grasp the strength of the mayor, he also had a general understanding.

The mayor was extremely cautious in his words and did not reveal any key information, but due to the unequal information, Rhodes still saw a lot of clues through the dialogue between the two.

After several replies from the mayor, Rhode realized that the mayor seemed to wish that he could stay in the town. Even if he expressed his intention to get the map and leave immediately, the mayor refused to give it to him because of the high value of the map.

Under normal circumstances, even if the price of the map is high, the mayor will not refuse, but will put forward various conditions to Rhodes, so that Rhodes can get the map after paying a certain price.

But at this time, the mayor did not give Rhode any chance and directly refused to provide the map. At the end, the mayor seemed to kindly tell Rhodes the location of the hotel, but in fact, it was more to imply that Rhodes stayed in the town.

Since there is no freelance chamber of commerce in the town, it is doomed that the town's business is difficult to develop, and not many business groups choose to come to this town.

Weak business groups will be afraid of encountering danger in the town and will not choose to go here. And a powerful business group, if it is transporting basic materials, will not look down on the benefits obtained in the town, and will not choose to come to this town.

As for what the mayor said, there will be a business group coming in a few days. Rhodes can only think that either this is just a simple rhetoric from the mayor, or that the business group has agreed with the mayor in advance.

If this business group really made an agreement with the mayor in advance, they would arrive in the next few days, and the ultimate goal of the business group is the City of Sorrows...

Rhode felt a bit coincidental, but an idea firmly occupied Rhode's mind, and Rhode had to believe it.

The original Silver Seal business group probably went to this small town before going to the City of Screaming.

As for the agreement between the head of the business group, Uther, and the mayor here, Rhodes could not simply infer. But if this guess is correct, the mayor hopes that he will stay here because he wants to gain benefits after killing himself with the help of the Silver Seal Business Group.

The corpse of a necromancer, even if it is only an apprentice level,

If handled properly, it can also create a third-order ghost.

It's a pity that although the mayor's idea was good, he obviously didn't know that Rhode joined the Silver Seal business group first, and by his own strength, he almost completely disintegrated the entire business group.

If the mayor wanted to hold back Rhodes and wait for the arrival of the Silver Seal business group, it could only mean that the mayor's strength was worse than Rhodes originally thought, or that the mayor's strength had certain limitations.

Before entering the mansion, Rhodes did not take back the crystal of the vampire, but let the vampire put the crystal in his pocket. The mayor could also feel the death energy emanating from the vampire.

Rhodes could feel the heart-pounding aura inside the mayor's mansion. Whether it was the perceptual warning brought by the reconnaissance technique or Rhodes' instinctive reaction, he believed that there were powerful undead creatures in the mansion.

But if the mayor's strength is really strong, he will not let himself leave easily.

Rhodes concluded that this breath should come from creatures specially used for defense. Although such creatures are powerful, they have many limitations and usually cannot leave a certain range.

In his speech, although the mayor did not try to introduce himself into the mansion, he just arranged two rows of skeleton warriors to stand in the hall, just to prevent any abnormality from being discovered.

If Rhodes saw the skeleton warrior and went directly into the mansion to attack, he would obviously be attacked by this defensive creature. Fortunately, Rhodes had seen this kind of creature in his previous life, but only through subtle feelings, he found an abnormality and chose to leave temporarily.

Following the housekeeper in front, Rhodes and the vampire came to the place where they entered. The housekeeper originally wanted to continue to lead the way and bring Rhodes to the inn mentioned by the mayor, but Rhodes waved his hand to stop him and walked towards the back of the town alone.

There, it was the location of the inn that the mayor said.

This time, although it was only a few words, Rhodes almost completely investigated the situation of the mayor.

Rhode couldn't help but be a little puzzled. After he understood these situations, they were originally just separate sentences, as if something connected them all together. The original doubts disappeared completely, and the answers seemed to appear in his mind by themselves.

At this time, if Rhodes can open the attribute panel, he will see that the hero specialties column on the second row, although it still shows: Unawakened (1/3), but it is flashing violently at this time.

In this regard, Rhodes obviously did not know, but while observing the surrounding situation, he went to the hotel mentioned by the mayor.

Rhode obviously did not intend to leave like this. Since most of the mayor's information has been tested by himself, he only needs to wait for the mayor to reveal his flaws.

If the mayor's trump card is the defensive creature in the mansion, Rhode only needs to wait for the chance that the mayor comes to kill the residents outside the mansion before he can fight him.

Except for the unknown types of defensive creatures, the rest of the low-level undead creatures are not too big a threat to Rhodes except for some trouble.

The mayor obviously did not know that the business group he had expected had disappeared. If he knew that there would be no reinforcements, the mayor was obviously more anxious than Rhodes.

Seeing that the residents in the town had not yet fled, Rhode knew that although the town was full of death energy, the creation of undead creatures had not been known by all the residents, at least not the entire town was aware of it.

The townspeople will be horrified by the disappearance of others, but not all of them will flee.

Rhodes knew that even if the undead creatures were created, the mayor was secretly doing it, and he did not arrest all the residents at the very beginning.

Rhode was not surprised by the actions of the mayor. Even if the mayor did not take action against these townspeople, because this place is close to the border and waiting for the war to start, other necromancers will come here and convert all the people here into Undead creatures.

According to Rhodes' perception, the concentration of death energy contained in the mayor's mansion is not much different from the tomb where the vampires were sleeping.

Since Rhodes still doesn't know why the mayor did not choose such a method to improve his strength, Rhodes did not directly attack the residents here, but chose to go to the hotel here and wait for the night to come.

If the mayor chooses to capture the residents of the town at night and transform them, Rhodes can kill the undead creatures sent by the mayor, weaken the mayor's strength, and limit the mayor to the mansion.

When the strength of the mayor drops to a certain level, even if there are guardian creatures in the mansion, Rhodes can forcibly attack.

Rhodes came to a building that was several times taller than the rest of the surrounding buildings, but still much smaller than the mayor's mansion.

When he came to the door of the hotel in the town, Rhode walked in.

At this time, a sleepy old man was sitting at the counter in the hotel, and he didn't realize Rhode's arrival for a while.

Rhodes looked inside the hotel. The first floor was supposed to be a restaurant. At this time, there was no one there. There were only a few tables and chairs. There was some dust on them. Obviously, the owner of the hotel had no intention of cleaning it.

Looking at the scale of the hotel and the rest of the scene, Rhodes realized that in addition to being used as a hotel, this place was also used as a tavern for the residents of the town to entertain here. It should be one of the few places where the residents of the town can move. .

Rhodes walked to the counter on the first floor and tapped twice.

The old man who was dozing off suddenly woke up, looking at Rhodes in front of him with a look of surprise, obviously because there was no one here for a long time, and someone suddenly came to the door at this time.

"I want to rest here for a few nights." Before the old man could react, Rhodes first stated his purpose.

Hearing this sentence, the old man confirmed Rhode's intention and said, "I'm sorry... No one has come here for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet guests today. If there are two rooms, four silver coins a day. Every morning and Some food will be provided in the evening.”

Rhode nodded, took out a gold coin and put it on the table, and said, "In one room, the food is not needed."

The old man took out a key from under the counter and gave it to Rhodes, while holding the gold coin in his hand, he didn't say much.

Rhodes took the key and walked to the room on the second floor.

Looking at Rhodes' back on the second floor, the old man opened his mouth and seemed to want to remind Rhodes of something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He put the gold coins in his pocket and sat back in his seat.

Rhodes walked up to the second floor, came to his room, found a place to sit down, and began to meditate.

Due to the possibility of fighting and the improvement of his spell ability, Rhode did not choose deep meditation that consumes mana. Instead, he wanted to rely on shallow meditation to restore some spirit and improve his mental state a little. Waiting for Come evening.

During Rhodes' meditation, the vampire didn't need to rest much, just stood aside and held the crystal of the dead in his hand.

…………

At night, as if aware of something, Rhodes ended his meditation for a long time and opened his eyes. On the side, feeling Rhodes' change, the vampire looked at Rhodes.

Rhodes got up quickly, took the vampire, and walked out of his room.

It was pitch black around, and Rhode quickly walked downstairs. At this time, because the sky was dark, the original old man had obviously rested, and there was no one downstairs.

Rhodes walked to the door of the hotel, took off the wooden bolt on the door, and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Rhode realized that something was wrong. When he was in the forest, no matter how tall the trees were or how dark the surrounding environment was, there would always be starlight shining through the woods and shining on the ground. At this time, he came to the door. Rhodes, but found that there was very little light around.

Even in the dense forest of Eli, the light around Rhodes is brighter than it is now.

Rhodes looked up at the sky. At this time, a layer of black clouds shrouded the sky, and it was this layer of black clouds that obscured all the stars in the sky, preventing Rhodes from seeing the scene in the distance.

"Dark Sky..."

Seeing this black cloud, Rhode seemed to recall something.

This layer of black cloud is like the dark sky that Rhodes once saw in the large city in Diya. Because these cities are shrouded in darkness, the sun cannot be seen all day long, and it is difficult to distinguish day and night in the city.

At this time, this layer of black cloud undoubtedly reminded Rhodes of the dark sky he once saw. But Rhodes doesn't know why there are a lot of black clouds similar to the dark sky here. According to the overall level of this town, it is impossible to create a dark sky in any case.

Rhodes tried to perceive the dark sky in the sky, and felt a strong magical energy. If it is not released by the mage, it can only be made with magic props.

If the mayor has the strength to create a dark sky that covers the entire town, Rhodes will not let him leave when he goes to test, but will kill him directly.

At this moment, before he had time to think about it, Rhode suddenly sensed the danger and ducked to the side. A creature appeared behind Rhodes, and Rhodes just avoided its attack.

On the side, the vampire saw that Rhode was attacked, and immediately went up to him and attacked with the creature.

Even if the surrounding light was dim, Rhodes still carefully looked in the direction of the creature through the eagle eye technique. The tattered cloth robe, the skeleton-like face, floating in the air to dodge at will when attacking, it is the third-order creature, the ghost.
