Chapter 65 Negotiations

Rhode looked at the mayor and said slowly: "You know, that undead mage knows my existence, and even if he sends undead creatures to attack you, there will be powerful undead creatures around him to protect you."

"The number of undead creatures you need to deal with will not be too many, and it is impossible for him to stop in place and wait for me to shoot. In this case, even if I want to attack, most of them will not succeed."

"Therefore, I need you to defend against this necromancer outside the mansion, and the distance between the mansion and the mansion cannot be too close. Only if you drag enough undead creatures, I will have a chance to deal with him."

After listening to Rhodes' proposal, under the black robe, the mayor's brows wrinkled, and he refused directly: "No. When in the mansion, the necromancer can't directly use spells to attack me. This position is very safe."

"And with the defense of the mansion, my skeleton warrior only needs to resist the attack from one direction, and it can exert the greatest effect on defense. I will not leave the mansion."

Rhodes understood that the mayor was extremely reluctant to leave the mansion. In addition to the defensive advantages the mansion could bring to the mayor, more importantly, there was something inside the mansion that could give the mayor great peace of mind.

The mayor obviously didn't know that Rhodes noticed this. Rhodes never stepped inside the mansion, and only observed outside the gate when he was closest to the mansion.

There was no mention of this in the mayor's words, including his reluctance to leave here before, apparently because of the relationship within the mansion.

Although Rhodes did not continue to speak, the meaning was very obvious. Rhodes would definitely not agree to the original suggestion made by the mayor, and Rhodes would also not agree to the suggestion that Rhodes wanted to lead the mayor out of the mansion.

Both remained silent for a while, neither of whom was the first to make another suggestion.

Even though the previous necromancer left for a while, the black clouds in the sky did not dissipate much, and still blocked the surrounding light.

Through the previous dialogue between the two people, they both understand each other's part of the characteristics of each other. At this time, how to use this characteristic to obtain the most favorable conditions is what they need to consider, which is why they need to conduct verbal testing. .

Finally, the mayor may have thought of something, and said to Rhodes: "Then, you and the skeleton warrior resist his undead creatures in front of the mansion, you don't have to take the risk to kill him, you can't resist it, You can also retreat into the mansion and rely on magic to resist for a while, how about it?”

Rhode shook his head, apparently not agreeing with the mayor's proposal.

The mayor's proposal seems to be for Rhodes' consideration. Instead of letting Rhodes kill the necromancer, Rhodes and the vampires stay in front of the mansion, but in fact, this has a great drawback.

Once the necromancer sees that Rhode and the mayor have all appeared, he will send all the undead creatures to press him. At that time, the mayor will withdraw directly into the mansion, and Rhode knows the abnormality in the mansion and dares not enter. It was Rhodes who faced all the undead creatures in front of the mansion alone.

Seeing Rhodes rejecting his proposal again, the mayor was a little annoyed and said to Rhodes: "Then what are your thoughts? If you have any good way to deal with this necromancer, then you can say it. ."

Rhode replied: "I only have one request, and that is to deal with this necromancer far away from the mansion. Your mansion gives me a bad feeling. Besides, you have to deal with this necromancer, If you really don't want to, I won't force it, but I won't help you."

Hearing Rhode's emphasis on staying away from the mansion again, the mayor's face sank.

In Rhode's words, although it was not clearly stated, he undoubtedly expressed a meaning to the mayor, that he found an abnormality in the mansion. After realizing this, the mayor was silent for a while.

In previous trials,

The mayor has confirmed a lot of Rhode's strength, and in addition to the loss of several skeleton warriors for the test, the mayor really does not want Rhode to leave like this.

But if he is really far away from the mansion, the mayor has many ideas that cannot be realized.

Comparing the strengths shown by the previous two people again, the mayor finally confirmed something and said:

"I agree, Elliot, you can fight outside the mansion, but you can't leave here too far."

"I can come outside the mansion, right next to the skeleton warriors, to resist those undead creatures. But in the same way, you need to go and kill the undead mage. I have seen your strength, under your full strength, that A necromancer won't last long."

Under the insistence of Rhodes, the mayor finally agreed to leave the mansion. Although he only came to the periphery of the mansion, where the original skeleton warriors resisted the undead creatures, this was also a big deal for Rhodes. Advantage.

After confirming the location of the mayor, the necromancer on the attacking side will not only send more undead creatures to attack, but also cast spells to cut off the mayor's retreat back to the mansion.

In contrast, if Rhodes kept hiding in the dark and did not attack, losing the advantage of the mansion, the mayor would be in great danger.

Seeing that the mayor agreed to this request, Rhodes did not continue to ask for anything.

According to Rhodes' original idea, according to the mayor's proposal, Rhodes can even ask the mayor to provide the promised treasure in advance because he needs to deal with a mage in close quarters.

But at this time, since the mayor had already come outside the mansion, if he made too many demands, he would inevitably be rejected, and Rhode did not continue to make these demands.

The conversation was over, and the two of them both made certain things about each other. Since they both got the results they needed, the two did not continue to say anything, but it was unknown what they were thinking about.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated a lot.

This conversation didn't last long, and there was still a lot of time in it, both of them kept silent or were calculating. At this point, the two ended their conversation, just waiting for the next attack from the Necromancer.

The mayor nodded to Rhodes, turned and entered the mansion. The skeleton warriors next to them also followed one by one, and finally they all entered the interior of the mansion and closed the gate of the mansion.

Seeing that the mayor's party all returned to the inside of the mansion, Rhodes didn't say anything more, took the vampire and walked towards the road where he came.

At this time, although the sky was still dim, it was much stronger than before. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the original starlight, illuminating the road under Rhodes' feet.

Following the road he had walked in the daytime, Rhode walked towards the previous hotel.

Along the way, Rhodes did not encounter any special circumstances. It didn't take long for Rhodes to come to the front of the hotel.

The door of the hotel is still the same as when Rhode left, and it is half-open at this time.

Previously, Rhode discovered these black clouds in the sky when he just opened the door, and was immediately attacked by the ghost, so he didn't have time to close the door. At this time, it was still what Rhode looked like when he left.

Rhodes entered the hotel and returned to his original room.

Coming to the room, Rhode found a place to sit down and began to settle his gains.

In this battle, including the undead creatures killed by the vampires, Rhodes got a total of 920 experience points, and the total experience points reached 1050 points.

Among these experience points, a ghost provided 200 experience points, the mayor's skeleton warriors provided a total of 90 experience points, and the other experience points were all from the walking dead and ghosts.

Although a single walking corpse and ghost can provide a small amount of experience, it can still provide an objective amount of experience when the number increases.

This is why, after discovering the battle in front of the mayor's mansion, Rhodes did not choose to leave, but directly joined the battle.

"Consumes 700 experience points, and the remaining experience points are 350. The occupation level is raised to the second-order swordsman level 8..."

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."

In this battle, what Rhode lost was only his own mana, and there was no loss other than that. This can't help but make Rhodes sigh about the convenience of spells, even if it is only a second-order spell, it makes the originally difficult battle a lot easier.

In the original battle, if Rhodes did not cast the ice magic ring or use other spells, but simply relied on swordsmanship to kill the ghosts, or deal with the mayor's skeleton warriors, it would undoubtedly be very difficult. And using magic is much easier.

In the battle, Rhodes most often used the ice magic ring. The ice magic ring took into account the effects of group damage and impact. Even if it was only a second-order spell, it also reflected the advantages of spells.

Perhaps the spells displayed by Rhodes are not as effective as the apprentices of the same level, but with Rhodes' own fighting style, they are even more powerful.

Thinking of this, taking advantage of the opportunity to recover mana through meditation, Rhodes allocated his remaining two attribute points to knowledge.

Although Rhodes currently does not have many types of spells, he uses attack spells more often, but adding 20 mana points is equivalent to one more chance to use the Ice Magic Ring in a battle.

In contrast, it is not as strong as the low attributes at the beginning, and the distribution of attributes to other basic attributes is not very effective. In addition, the healing magic scrolls in the space ring are currently very abundant, so Rhodes did not set aside attribute points. Used to restore life.

The skill point Rhodes stayed, ready to wait until needed before assigning them.

While Rhodes was checking his attribute panel, the vampire also found a place, took out the soul crystal, and began to absorb the energy in it.

Having learned the lesson of the last time, Rhode told the vampire to keep the crystal of the dead well, and did not let the crystal of the dead be lost.

As for the vampire's bat transformation skills, the soul crystal is like the vampire's clothes, all intact and will not be lost due to bat transformation.

Seeing this, Rhodes ignored it and prepared to start meditating.

After calming down and not thinking about what happened before, Rhode entered a state of meditation.

…………

There was a knock on the door, and Rhode opened his eyes immediately.

There was no foreshadowing in his mind, and the intermediate reconnaissance technique did not produce any abnormality, indicating that there was no threat to the person knocking on the door.

In addition to this, there is another possibility, that is, the reconnaissance level of the person knocking on the door far exceeds that of Rhodes, which completely suppresses Rhodes' perception and makes Rhodes feel nothing.

But the possibility of this situation is extremely low, especially in the territory of Diya, there are hardly many people who master the reconnaissance technique, let alone the reconnaissance technique that improves the level.

Rhodes was not careless, and the vampire on the side also woke up at the first time. Following Rhodes' instructions, he stepped forward and opened the door.

Seeing the people standing outside the door, the vampire thought for a while and moved his body away so that Rhodes could see the situation outside the door.

Rhodes looked towards the door. The old man who had received Rhodes downstairs in the hotel was standing at the door of Rhodes.

Seeing the old man, Rhode didn't understand what his intention was, so he didn't rush to speak, but waited for the old man to speak.

Sure enough, after seeing Rhodes in the back, the old man opened his mouth. He first wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again, took a deep breath, and said to Rhodes:

"I've prepared some food downstairs, and I can bring it up if the two of you need it."

After listening, Rhode said, "Didn't I say, no food is needed."

In order to prevent anyone from tampering with the food, Rhodes only ate the dry food he brought with him whenever he was outside.

This is what Rhodes has always done. Even when he came to the hotel, Rhodes specially confessed that he didn't want food, and the old man obviously remembered this.

But at this time, the old man is obviously here for what, and the food may be just a statement of the old man.

Before the old man spoke, Rhode realized this.

Sure enough, the old man continued to say to Rhodes: "I went to other places in the town in the morning to look, and they were all gone..."

While saying these words, the old man's body could not stop producing a kind of death energy outwards, which Rhode, who mastered spiritualism, could easily perceive it.

Extreme fear can also produce death energy.

When people like the old man who continue to live in fear are transformed into undead creatures, there is a certain chance that they will be directly transformed into ghosts.

"I heard it last night. You were fighting outside the hotel. If you protected me, you must have the ability to take me out of this place..."

The old man continued to speak to Rhodes, but Rhodes did not say anything.

Rhode didn't want to say more, but finally said to the old man: "If you want to leave, you can leave here at any time. Was there no business group in the town before? You can leave with the business group."

The old man replied, "No... If I am alone, once I stay away from here, I will encounter many dangers on the road. As for the business group, they can ask the people in the town a little bit to know the details of me, because I have no What kind of relatives will only be robbed and killed by the people of the business group on the road..."

"And you're different...you're different...if you're willing to take me out of here, I'm willing to pay most of the gold I have, leaving only a little to live on..."
