The old man told Rhodes his situation in a strange tone, with a bit of desire and a bit of determination in his tone.
However, after listening to the old man's words, Rhodes was indifferent.
Even though the old man just said a few words to Rhodes, Rhodes had already realized that the old man was in a panic at this time.
For the old man, essentially, both the other business groups and Rhodes are objects that he does not understand.
Since the business group could rob and kill him on the way, Rhodes also had this opportunity. However, the old man completely rejected the business group and chose Rhodes wholeheartedly. This is undoubtedly his performance.
At this time, the old man had faced death, and his desire for life undoubtedly exceeded his fear of the unknown. The old man clung to the last bit of hope and was unwilling to let go. Even though he didn't know anything about Rhodes, because of his possible existence
Strength, the old man regarded it as the hope of survival in the end.
Perhaps he was in an extreme predicament and his panic made the old man say the most valuable thing he could provide without much thought, which was those gold coins.
In order to survive or temporarily escape from the predicament at hand, people often make wrong choices.
Just as these thoughts flashed through Rhode's mind, the old man in front of him still said something to Rhodes in a longing tone, but Rhodes didn't listen to a word.
Compared with the mayor, the old man in front of him is much shallower in every aspect. Whether it is patience or his own ability, he is completely unable to compare with the opponents Rhodes has 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 indescribable feelings in his heart, either boredom or a kind of direct indifference.
Rhodes closed his eyes and felt the concentration of death energy on the old man's body.
As if confirming something, Rhodes opened his eyes, waved his hand to the old man outside the door, interrupted the old man's words, and said lightly:
"It's not that time yet."
Rhodes ignored the old man in front of him. At Rhodes's signal, the vampire closed the door directly.
Outside the door, the old man saw the door closed and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to continue.
However, after realizing what Rhodes said before, the old man felt happy. It's not yet time, does this sentence mean that when he leaves, he will take me with him?
After recognizing this, the old man walked downstairs with the joy in his heart.
The old man had no idea that he had completely misunderstood what Rhodes meant.
Necromancers generally ignore the living. You must know that the 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 is to obtain resources or create undead creatures.
Rhodes knows that according to the current progress of the game, the necromancer has not yet reached the level that it will be later. Although it will kill civilians and create undead creatures, it will only be limited to the areas near Diya and within Diya.
Even the School of Necromancer, which trains necromancers, will issue tasks for apprentice-level necromancers to kill each other and select the most capable necromancer, while the remaining apprentices who died become the food for the winner. p>
The apprentice receives a mission from the academy and comes to destroy the town where the mayor is located, which reflects the way the academy trains necromancers.
The fierce internal struggle has destined the necromancers in Diya to be like scattered sand. Even if a single necromancer has extremely strong strength, it is often easily defeated when facing high-level creatures and well-disciplined armies. p>
After all, spiritualism is doomed to distrust each other among necromancers. Killing necromancers of the same level can earn huge profits. This has also led to the fact that necromancers are obviously very powerful, but they have always been ignored by the surrounding forces.
Suppressed within Diya.
Although Diya also has a big lord on the surface, because all places are controlled by powerful necromancers, they will not obey the orders of the big lord at all. This is also the main reason for the internal struggle in Diya.
Within the Necromancers, there is a lack of someone who can rule over all the Necromancers with absolute strength, and a true ruler.
Rhodes knew that this situation would change when the second expansion pack was released.
A peerless necromancer will bring two artifacts of the undead clan, command all the necromancers in the entire Diya territory, and fight against all the forces on the mainland.
Perhaps only when the second expansion pack is opened can the rest of the people on the mainland understand the power of the necromancers. The necromancers who survived the cruel internal fighting, united with the outside world and were led by the most powerful, made
The entire continent has fallen into the catastrophe of the necromancer.
The name of the second expansion pack is exactly "Shadow of Death".
However, this information is still too far away for the current Rhodes. Even if the one-year deadline for the soul mission has passed, the first expansion pack has only been completed for more than half. What Rhodes needs to consider now is how to quickly
Improve your strength and complete your soul mission.
Rhodes recalculated the current situation, the mayor, the necromancer, various undead creatures... After confirming it, Rhodes did not continue to think about it, but sat in the room and meditated again. p>
…………
After a while, Rhodes opened his eyes.
Unlike being unaware like before, due to the improvement of his overall knowledge and spiritual attributes, coupled with the shallow meditation, Rhodes can actively separate part of his consciousness to sense abnormalities around him.
Therefore, when Rhodes noticed the magic fluctuation coming from outside the hotel, he immediately ended his meditation, took the vampire beside him, and walked down to his room.
Rhodes came downstairs of the hotel. The old man was gone and there was a wooden bolt hanging on the door.
Through perception, Rhodes knew that the old man was hiding in a room in the corner of the hotel. Because of fear, he was emitting a lot of death energy. For a living person, this was already extremely difficult.
Rhodes did not bother with the old man, but took off the wooden bolt and walked out of the door.
When he came to the street outside, Rhodes saw the black clouds that were spreading around. It was not completely dark at this time, but the necromancer immediately used treasures to create these black clouds in the sky.<
/p>
Then when the sky was not covered, Rhodes saw that the black clouds were spreading from a place not far from the town with an expanding trend towards the town.
Rhodes knew that this should be the way the treasure created such a black cloud. At the same time, that place was exactly where the Necromancer was.
The black cloud spread quickly. While Rhodes was observing the black cloud, the black cloud had already crossed the location of the hotel and continued to spread to the surrounding area. It didn't take long for the entire town to be enveloped in it.
.
Due to the shroud of black clouds, the surroundings suddenly darkened. Rhodes 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 scenes clearly. No better than last night, since it was not yet night, the effect of black clouds blocking the vision was obviously not particularly good. At least Rhodes could see the surrounding scene directly without resorting to the firelight brought by the torch.
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 this was the second time he saw this black cloud, Rhodes also had some understanding of the characteristics of the black cloud.
The position on the edge of the town is still releasing black clouds towards this side, and the concentration of the black clouds is gradually deepening. Rhodes knows that the necromancer will definitely not take action now, but will wait until the black clouds completely gather and it is still evening.
Only then will they attack the mansion.
Although the necromancer would not attack immediately, Rhodes could not just wait there, but walked towards the mayor's mansion.
On the way forward, Rhodes saw no one, and none of the few remaining townspeople showed up.
Recalling what the old man said when he came to the door of his room, Rhodes has already realized that these townspeople should not be hiding, but were killed and taken away by the undead creatures that came to test last night.
The group of undead creatures that Rhodes killed at the door of the hotel.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that there was still light around him, Rhodes carefully observed the houses along the road. While observing, Rhodes did not slow down at all, and soon he arrived 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.
The mayor did what he said and left the safest mansion and came to the skeleton warrior. This means that when the battle begins, once Rhodes does not take action, the necromancer can use a spell to seal the mayor.
Return to the mansion and send undead creatures to attack the skeleton warrior. The mayor will be in danger.
Rhodes looked at the mayor. The mayor was still dressed as yesterday, with no decorations on his body except a black robe. This is also the attire preferred by the necromancer.
Rhodes 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 to Rhodes numbly, indicating to Rhodes that he was aware of his arrival.
At this time, 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 dark clouds gathered in the center of the town, where the mansion was located, during the time when Rhodes met the mayor, the area around the mansion had darkened, and the light brought by the torches was extremely obvious.<
/p>
Rhodes believed that even the necromancer who was secretly observing the battle could see the mayor holding a torch at a glance. His identity could be confirmed by the mayor's movements when casting spells, and then a large number of undead creatures would 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 located, but turned around and walked towards the darkness behind.
Rhodes knew that through the test the day before, the necromancer had become wary of him to a certain extent and would search for him all the way to the mansion.
In other words, it is impossible for Rhodes to just find a place to hide outside the yard like he did before.
Due to the weather, the necromancer will not carefully search all the houses in the town, but will focus on searching the places around the mayor's mansion.
If Rhodes doesn't pay attention to hiding, maybe the Necromancer will discover Rhodes before fighting the mayor, and then lead all the undead creatures to besiege Rhodes. For Rhodes, this is obviously not worth the gain. p>
According to Rhodes' estimation, if the undead creatures sent by the previous necromancer were just a test, then there will only be more undead creatures this time.
To deal with so many undead creatures at the same time, it would be okay if the number of low-level undead creatures increased, but once there are too many ghosts, it would be difficult for Rhodes to deal with them.
Therefore, Rhodes needs to find a suitable position and wait for the battle to begin.
Rhodes went to an abandoned house that he had chosen on the way here.
Rhodes came to the door of this house. The door of the house showed signs of damage. Rhodes reached out and easily pushed the door open, and then stepped inside.
After entering the room, Rhodes looked inside. With the light, Rhodes noticed that there was not much dust accumulated in the house. The owner of the house should have disappeared recently.
After clearing a cleaner place in the house, Rhodes sat down, and the vampire also came to Rhodes' side.
Rhodes put away the soul crystal on the vampire.
Since the Dead Soul Crystal emits death energy all the time, if Rhodes still lets the vampire hold it, the Necromancer with a keen sense of death energy will easily discover the location of this house.
From the position Rhodes is in, he can sense the death energy around the mayor's mansion. Although vampires also release death energy, the concentration of death energy is far less obvious than that in the mayor's mansion. In this small town, originally
Covered by death energy, it is difficult to be discovered by others.
If the necromancer really wants to search all the houses in the town first and then attack the mayor's mansion, then there is nothing Rhode can do.
Rhodes did not choose to meditate, but just sat and waited, placing all his perceptions on the mayor's mansion.
Since he had meditated for a long time before, Rhodes was in a full mental state and did not feel sleepy.
Feeling the gentle death energy from the mayor's side, Rhodes was not in a hurry, but sat there and just waited.
