Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Along the chosen road, Rhode took the vampire all the way.
On the road, there was no sound except the sound of footsteps on the ground and the sound of wind around.
Originally in the territory of Eri, Rhode also moved forward with the vampire in the same way, but there were still some noises around, whether it was the chirping of birds, insects, or the noises of biological activities, the surroundings were silent at this time.
Rod was not in a hurry, but just moved forward like this. Since there are no large creatures around, even if Rhodes wants to find creatures to move around, he can’t do it.
Fortunately, along this road, Lord has found the way forward, so he doesn’t have to worry about getting lost.
…………
This is a quiet town.
The small town is not far from the border of Diya. Due to the long distance, the dark sky covering the sky of the Screaming City all day long has disappeared without a trace. Instead, it is a continuous layer of clouds. It seems that in Diya, there is very little time to see the sun. .
There are not many people in the town, and most of them are elderly people.
For some reason, the young and middle-aged people in the town chose to escape from this place long ago and went to the not-distant city of sorrow. Especially after hearing that the Necromancer Academy is levying a large number of apprentices, everyone dreams of joining the Academy, learning the magic in the Academy, and becoming a powerful Necromancer.
The departure of people one after another made the originally empty town seem more and more dead.
In the town, an old man is doing nothing to bask in the sun. Judging from the sad look on his face, his mood is not calm at this time.
Suddenly, the old man looked at the street not far away. At this moment, two people in black robes were walking towards him on the street.
As if thinking of something, the old man showed an extremely horrified expression, but he dared not make any movements on his body, just watching the black robe man walk in front of him.
A man in a black robe in front also noticed this, and put down the hood on his head, revealing his original face, it was Rhode.
It turned out that following the road, Rhodes and the vampire finally entered the town.
As soon as he walked into the town, Rod noticed the anomaly. As he mastered spiritualism, in Rhodes’s perception, the town was full of death energy. The scope of this death energy is extremely large, and the entire town is caged in it.
Rod understood that something should have happened in the town, but he was just a guess as to what happened, and he was not sure about it.
At this time, seeing the expression of the old man in front of him, Rod obviously had certain things.
Rhodes guessed that the lord of this place anticipated that the war was about to begin and began to make the residents of the town into undead creatures. Later, due to the arrival of the war, even if you do not choose to join the war, you can still exchange the undead creatures for a large amount of gold coins.
Judging from the death energy shrouded in the town, the lord of the town has been transforming undead creatures for a period of time. Rhode has some ideas about this.
At the same time, Rod also realized that he had already spent some time in the process of following the business group, plus he had walked in the forest for nearly a day and a half. The news of the war is no longer a secret, as long as it is a person near the border area, a little bit of information from the thieves’ guild can be judged on the occurrence of a war.
Because of this, many people begin to have actions.
Rod realized that his progress was already a bit slow. If he couldn’t get enough experience points in the early stages of the war, he wouldn’t have such a good opportunity when the high-level creatures inside Eli took the shot.
When he came to this small town, Lord originally wanted to find someone to ask quickly and find a way to the Sorrowful City, but after confirming some conditions, Lord had a new idea.
Without looking at the old man in front of him for the first time, after putting down his hood, Rod looked around the town, as if confirming something, and finally looked at the old man.
Rod asked the old man: “Where is the interior office in the town? Or, where is the mayor’s residence?”
The old man swallowed, raised his hand tremblingly, stretched out his fingers, and pointed to a tall building in the town.
Rod nodded at him, and then walked in the direction pointed by the old man.
Just after Rod left, the old man still stayed in place, without any action for a while.
The old man recalled the young face under his hood, and he couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart. From the looks of it, the black robe man was not even the grandson who went to the Sorrowful City on his own, but this kind of power in him, The old man has also seen him in the mayor.
Although in the previous conversation, Lord only asked the old man a question, the experience brought by the years allowed the old man to find anomalies in Lord’s demeanor.
Reminiscent of the recent events in the small town, the old man fell into deep fear for a while and wanted to go back to his house to pack up his things and escape, but due to his old age and frailty, where could he escape even if he left here?
The fear dissipated and was replaced by a deep despair.
…………
Rod walked to the location pointed by the old man and observed it as he went forward. The town is large in size and the number of houses is acceptable, but from the feedback from reconnaissance techniques, Rod knows that many houses have been abandoned for a long time.
The actual number of people in the entire town is less than Rod originally thought.
Along the road, Rod came to a mansion. Along the way, this mansion is considered the largest building in the town.
At this moment, the guard at the entrance of the mansion was obviously taken aback when seeing Luo Luo coming to the front of the mansion.
The guard obviously did not expect that someone would stand directly at the door of the mansion and was about to speak out, but noticed that Rhode and the vampire were dressed together.
The guard seemed to remember something, and swallowed what he was about to say, and then directly opened the front door of the mansion. After that, he did not say that he would lead the way, but ran directly towards the mansion.
Seeing the guards open the front door of the mansion, Lord did not make any movement, but just stood at the door and waited.
Rod knew that earlier, the guard had already seen that he was a necromancer, and instead reported to the mayor. At this time, Rod is waiting for the mayor’s response.
Originally, after entering the town, Rhodes noticed the anomaly in the town. After obtaining some information through reconnaissance techniques, Rod changed his original plan, intending to come to the mansion for some trial and see how the mayor would deal with him.
In the process of coping with temptation, if the mayor handles it carelessly, some flaws will be exposed.
If the mayor’s strength is weak, Rhodes can find a chance to kill him and harvest the remaining undead creatures.
