Chapter 66 The Eve

The old man told Rhodes about his situation in a strange tone, with a bit of desire and a bit of firmness in his tone.

However, after listening to the old man's words, Rhode was indifferent.

Even if the old man just said a few words to Rhodes, Rhodes has realized that the old man at this time is in a panic.

For the old man, in essence, whether it is the rest of the business group or Rhodes, they are objects that he does not understand.

Since the business group could kill him on the way, Rhodes also had this opportunity, but the old man completely denied the business group and chose Rhodes wholeheartedly, which is undoubtedly the performance.

At this time, the old man, who had already faced death, had no doubt that his desire for life surpassed his fear of the unknown. The old man firmly grasped the last bit of hope and was unwilling to let it go. Even if he didn't know anything about Rhodes, because of Rhodes' possible strength, the old man regarded it as the last hope of survival.

Perhaps under extreme predicament, the panic made the old man not think much, so he said the most valuable thing he could provide, that is, those gold coins.

In order to survive, or to temporarily escape from the immediate predicament, people often make wrong choices.

Just as these thoughts flashed through Rhodes' mind, the old man in front of him still said something to Rhodes in a eager tone, but Rhodes didn't hear a word.

Compared with the mayor, the old man in front of him was much shallower in every aspect. Whether it was his patience or his own abilities, he was completely inferior to the opponents Rhodes had encountered before.

Even though he didn't have much contact with the old man, Rhodes had a general understanding of the old man. Therefore, Rhodes had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, either boring or a direct indifference.

Rhodes closed his eyes and sensed the concentration of death energy in the old man.

As if to confirm something, Rhode opened his eyes, waved at the old man outside the door, interrupting the old man's words, and said lightly:

"It's not time yet."

Rhodes ignored the old man in front of him. Under Rhodes' suggestion, the vampire closed the door directly.

Outside the door, when the old man saw the door closed, he froze in place for a while, not knowing what to do.

However, realizing what Rhode said earlier, the old man was overjoyed. It's not yet time, does this sentence mean that when he leaves, will he take me with him?

Recognizing this, the old man walked downstairs with the joy in his heart.

The old man didn't know it, he completely misunderstood what Rhodes meant.

Necromancers generally ignore the living. You must know that those undead creatures controlled by necromancers, whether they are walking corpses or skeleton soldiers, are not created out of thin air.

Any powerful necromancer will have thousands of people die at his hands as he grows up, whether it's to obtain resources or create undead creatures.

Rhodes knows that according to the current game progress, the Necromancer has not reached the level of the later. Although it will slaughter civilians to create undead creatures, it is limited to the area near Diya and inside Diya.

Even the Necromancer Academy, which trains Necromancers, will issue tasks for apprentice-level Necromancers to kill each other, and select the Necromancer with the most outstanding abilities, while the rest of the dead apprentices become the nourishment for the victors.

The apprentice received a task from the academy and came to destroy the town where the mayor is located, which reflects the way the academy trains necromancers.

The fierce internal struggle is doomed that Dia's Necromancer is like scattered sand. Even if a single Necromancer is extremely powerful, it is often easily defeated when facing high-level creatures and disciplined troops.

In the final analysis, spiritualism is destined that necromancers will not trust each other, killing necromancers of the same rank,

Can get huge profits. This has also led to the fact that the necromancer has a strong strength, but has been suppressed by the surrounding forces within Diya.

Although Diya also has a big lord on the bright side, because all places are controlled by powerful necromancers, he will not obey the big lord at all, which is also the main reason for the internal struggle of Diya.

Inside the Necromancer, there is a lack of a real ruler who can rule all the Necromancers with absolute strength.

Rhodes knew that this situation would change when the second expansion piece was opened.

A peerless necromancer, with two artifacts of the undead family, will lead all the necromancers in the entire Diya territory and fight against all the forces on the continent.

Perhaps the rest of the people on the continent can only understand the power of the Necromancer until the second expansion is opened. The Necromancers who survived the cruel infighting, in unison with the outside world and under the command of the strongest, made the entire continent fall into the catastrophe of the Necromancer.

The name of the second expansion is "Shadow of Death".

However, these pieces of information are still too far away for the current Rhodes. Even if the one-year deadline for the Soul Mission is over, the first expansion is only halfway through. What Rhode needs to consider now is how to quickly improve his strength and complete his soul quest.

Rhodes recalculated the current situation, the mayor, the necromancer, various undead creatures... After confirming it, Rhodes did not continue to think about these, but sat in the room and meditated again.

…………

After a while, Rhodes opened his eyes.

Instead of being unaware as before, due to the improvement of overall knowledge and spiritual attributes, coupled with the shallow meditation, Rhodes can actively separate a part of his consciousness and use it to perceive abnormalities around him.

Therefore, when he noticed the magic fluctuations from outside the hotel, Rhodes immediately ended his meditation, brought the vampire on the side, and walked out of his room.

When Rhodes came to the downstairs of the hotel, the old man was nowhere to be seen, and there were wooden bolts hanging on the door.

Through perception, Rhodes knew that the old man was hiding in a room in the corner of the hotel at this time. Because of his fear, a lot of death energy was radiated out. For a living person, this is not easy.

Rhodes did not take care of the old man, but took off the wooden bolt and walked out the door.

Coming to the street outside, Rhode saw the black clouds that were spreading around. At this time, the sky was not completely dark, but the necromancer used the treasure immediately to create these black clouds in the sky.

Then the sky that had not yet been shaded, Rhodes saw that the black cloud spread from a place not far from the town in an expanding trend towards the town.

Rhode knew that this should be the way the treasure created this black cloud, and at the same time, that place was where the Necromancer was located.

Black clouds spread faster. While Rhodes was observing the black cloud, the scope of the black cloud had already crossed the location of the hotel, and it continued to spread around, and it didn't take long for the entire town to be shrouded in it.

Due to the shroud of black clouds, the surroundings suddenly became dark. Rhode looked around and found that the light was obviously brighter than last night. Even with the cover of black clouds, Rhodes could still see the surrounding scene clearly.

Not as late as yesterday, since it was not yet night, the effect of black clouds obscuring the field of vision was obviously not very good. At least Rhodes could directly see the surrounding scenes without the need for the firelight brought by the torches.

At this time, the black cloud has not weakened Rhodes' perception effect. If it is in this state, Rhodes can find the location of the hidden necromancer on the battlefield simply by sensing the concentration of death energy on his body.

Since it was the second time that he saw this black cloud, Rhode also had some understanding of the characteristics of the black cloud.

The location on the edge of the town still releases black clouds toward this side, and the concentration of the black clouds gradually deepens. Rhode knew that the necromancer would definitely not take action at the moment, but would only attack the mansion when the black clouds had fully gathered and it was still evening.

Although the necromancer would not attack immediately, Rhodes couldn't just wait there, but walked towards the mayor's mansion.

On the way forward, Rhodes didn't see anyone, and none of the remaining townspeople actually appeared at this time.

Reminiscent of what the old man said when he came to the door of his room, Rhodes also realized it. These townspeople should not hide, but were killed and taken away by the undead creatures who came to test last night, the group of undead creatures that Rhode killed at the hotel door last night.

Taking advantage of the chance that there was still light around, Rhodes carefully observed these houses along the lower road. While observing, Rhodes did not slow down at all, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the mayor's mansion.

Standing outside the mayor's yard, Rhodes saw the skeleton warrior in front of the mansion and the mayor standing next to the skeleton warrior at a glance through the surrounding environment.

According to what he said, the mayor left the safest mansion and came to the side of the skeleton warrior. This also means that when the battle starts, once Rhode does not take action, the necromancer can use spells to block the mayor's way back to the mansion, and then send undead creatures to attack the skeleton warriors. The mayor will be in danger.

Rhode looked at the mayor, who was still dressed as yesterday, with no decorations on his body except for a black robe, which is also the dress preferred by necromancers.

Rhode noticed that the number of skeleton warriors beside the mayor was obviously more than the number of skeleton warriors stationed outside the mansion last time.

At this time, the mayor also saw Rhodes not far away.

Looking at Rhodes and the vampire beside him, and then looking at the black clouds in the sky, the mayor nodded at Rhodes, indicating to Rhodes that he already knew of his arrival.

At this moment, the mayor took out a prepared torch from the side, and at the same time raised his hand expressionlessly and waved it gently. Suddenly, a flame ignited at the top of the torch.

Since the location where the black clouds gathered was the center of the town, where the mansion was located, during the time when Rhodes and the mayor met, the surroundings of the mansion had already darkened, and the light brought by the torches was extremely obvious.

Rhode believes that even a necromancer who is secretly observing the battle situation can see the mayor holding a torch at a glance, and his identity can be confirmed by the movement of the mayor when he casts a spell, and then a large number of undead creatures will be sent to suppress him. Come up and kill the mayor.

Seeing this, Rhodes stopped taking care of the mayor.

Rhodes did not enter the courtyard where the mansion was, but turned around and walked towards the darkness behind.

Rhodes knew that through the test the day before, the necromancer had become wary of himself, and he would search all the way to the mansion.

That is to say, it is impossible for Rhodes to find a place to hide outside the yard as he did before.

Due to the weather, the necromancer will not search all the houses in the town carefully, but will focus on searching these places around the mayor's mansion.

If Rhodes didn't pay attention to hiding, maybe the necromancer discovered Rhodes before fighting the mayor, and then led all the undead creatures to besiege Rhodes. For Rhodes, this was obviously not worth the loss.

According to Rhodes' estimation, if the undead creature sent by the previous necromancer was just a trial, then there will only be more undead creatures this time.

To deal with so many undead creatures at the same time, if only the number of low-level undead creatures increased, it would be okay to say, but once the number of ghosts is too large, Rhodes will be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Rhodes needs to find a suitable position and wait for the start of the battle.

Rhodes went to an abandoned house that he had chosen earlier on the way.

Rhodes came to the door of the house. There were signs of damage to the door of the house. Rhodes stretched out his hand, pushed the door open easily, and stepped into it.

Entering the room, Rhodes looked inside. With a little light, Rhode noticed that there was not much dust accumulated in the house, and the owner of the house should have disappeared recently.

After clearing a clean place in the house, Rhodes sat down, and the vampire also came to Rhodes.

Rhode put away the soul crystal on the vampire.

Since the death crystal is always emitting death energy, if Rhodes still let the vampire hold it, the necromancer with a keen sense of death energy can easily find the location of the house.

Rhodes is in this position, just can sense the death energy around the mayor's mansion, and although vampires also release death energy, but because the concentration of death energy is far less obvious than the mayor's mansion, in this small town originally Covered by the energy of death, it is difficult to be discovered by others.

If the Necromancer really wanted to search all the houses in the town first, and then attack the mayor's mansion, Rhodes would have nothing to do.

Rhodes did not choose to meditate, but just sat and waited, putting his own perceptions on the mayor's mansion.

After a long period of meditation before, Rhode's mental state was full, but he did not feel sleepy.

Feeling the gentle death energy from the mayor's side, Rhode was not in a hurry, but sat on the spot and waited silently.
