Rhodes led the vampires behind him, followed the housekeeper in front, and headed towards the mayor's mansion.
While passing through the courtyard in front of the mansion, Rhodes noticed that both sides of the path he was walking on, where the lawn should have been, were now covered with a large number of withered and yellow weeds. There were several human-shaped statues standing among the weeds.
.Due to the poor texture of the statues, Rhodes could not identify their faces.
Continuing along the path, Rhodes noticed the stables on the side. Not far behind the stables was the mansion where the mayor lived. The mansion looked extremely spacious, with two floors inside.
Arriving at the mansion, the housekeeper pushed the door open and entered with the guards on the side, while Rhodes noticed the inside of the mansion. Looking at the scene inside the mansion, Rhodes did not choose to enter.
"The necromancer who has come from afar, I am the mayor of the town, Kerr, and I welcome you on behalf of the residents of the entire town."
At the end of the hall of the mansion, a man dressed in black robe said loudly.
At this time, on both sides of the entire hall passage, along the carpet extending to the door, stood two rows of fully armed skeleton warriors facing each other. The distance between the skeleton warriors was slightly farther, extending from the mayor to the door.<
/p>
"Bang, bang, bang."
After the mayor finished speaking, the two rows of skeleton warriors began to use the weapon held in one hand to hit the shield in the other hand. The hitting movements were uniform and made a strong sound. After hitting three times in a row,
This group of skeleton warriors instantly stopped what they were doing and stood still.
Even without his introduction, Rhodes still understood that the man in black robe in front of him was the target he wanted to test, the mayor of this town.
The mayor of the town was dressed in black robes, but did not put on the hood on his head. Rhodes looked at him and saw his slightly older face, obviously he was already quite old.
Seeing the formation set up by the mayor, Rhodes did not immediately walk in along the carpet.
Since it took almost a day and a half on the way here, the basic mana recovery plus the improvement brought by the elementary magic talisman, at this time, Rhodes' mana has been fully restored. And because Rhodes performed it at night
Meditation, the maximum mana value at this time has reached 70 points corresponding to knowledge.
Looking at the two rows of skeleton warriors in front of him, Rhodes was not afraid that they would choose to attack him during the process of entering. Because he had mastered the spell Ice Demon Ring, even the basic damage of the Ice Demon Ring was not enough to kill these skeletons.
Warriors kill, but can push them back slightly.
Even so, Rhodes still did not choose to enter the mansion, but felt a kind of fear in his heart.
Rhodes noticed the rear of the mayor, which was a certain location in the mansion. That location was currently separated by a door. Although no abnormalities were found for the time being, the intensity of the death energy in the mansion and the perception of the transmission
A strong warning came, and Rhodes sensed something was wrong.
Rhodes knew that the mayor's trump card was obviously not the skeleton warriors in front of him. Since the mayor had identified himself as a mage and dared to place these skeleton warriors here, he obviously was not worried about their losses. Instead, he could make use of these skeleton warriors.
Consume your own mana.
Rhodes looked at the mayor. While he was concentrating, no matter who released the magic first, Rhodes or the mayor, the other party would be able to respond instantly. It was just a matter of who should act first.
Except for saying a few words to Rhodes at the beginning, the mayor did not make any move. He waited for Rhodes' response. Obviously he did not want to expose his own information by saying anything more.
At this time, Rhodes was comparing the strengths of both sides.
Through perception, Rhodes clearly knew that there was a large amount of death energy gathered in the mansion, and the undead creatures that existed were obviously not only the skeleton warriors he saw in front of him, but also higher-level undead creatures.
Rhodes estimated that the mayor's rank should not be higher than that of the blue-robed mage he once dealt with. However, due to the characteristics of the necromancer, most of the mayor's strength lies in the undead creatures. Relying on the advantage of the number of undead creatures, the overall strength is even
Surpassing the previous blue-robed mage.
According to Rhodes' original experience, the mayors of such small towns in Diya are usually ordinary apprentices with insufficient potential who are eliminated from the Necromancy Academy and come down to serve.
Necromancer apprentices with real potential all stay within the Necromancer Academy to perform various tasks. They can obtain various resources at the first time, and the information they can obtain is far beyond that of ordinary apprentices.
If apprentices with insufficient potential have enough gold coins and learn basic necromancy, they can apply to come to such a small town to serve as mayor.
Although there is no way to quickly increase strength in this way, since no one will bother you, the apprentice who becomes the mayor can gradually increase his strength by accumulating undead creatures. And since he does not have to fight with other apprentices, he has a lot of free time, which he can release by himself.
Using the method of death energy, the original low-level undead creatures are slightly improved.
Although you can get a lot of low-level undead creatures in this way, due to the slow improvement speed, the undead creatures accumulated over the years are faster than just attacking other villages a few times, so it can only be said to be more stable. p>
Among the undead creatures inside the mansion, including the skeleton warriors in front of him, many of the undead creatures that the mayor was able to gather came from ordinary citizens in the town.
If it were a normal time, the mayor would not kill all the townspeople, but at this time, perhaps due to the news of the war, the mayor obviously had other ideas for the residents of the town.
Seeing these undead creatures in the hall, as well as other undead creatures that may exist in the mansion, and the warning brought by perception, Rhodes finally made a decision after weighing it in his mind.
Rhodes said slowly to the mayor: "I am the necromancer Ellot. I just passed by here and want to go to the City of Screams. Does the mayor have any good methods?"
The mayor was obviously extremely cautious, and Rhodes could only make a judgment based on what he saw at this time.
Since Rhodes has not been able to obtain further information through simple testing, he does not want to directly go to war with the mayor without knowing the situation.
Rhodes knew that if he wanted to fully understand the mayor's strength, he had to enter this mansion himself.
Once inside the mansion, the surrounding undead creatures can take the opportunity to attack, and with the need to deal with the hidden undead creatures, Rhodes doesn't know what his chances of winning are.
Rhodes did not report his real name. Due to the possibility of being close to the City of Lament and the possible problems in intelligence, Rhodes chose to use the name of Ailot.
Looking at the mayor not far away, Rhodes was waiting for his answer.
