Chapter 9 Assassination
…………
“You try to enter a meditation state…”
“The level of concentration reaches the lowest level for entering meditation, and the perception is successfully contracted…”
“You successfully entered the meditation state!”
“According to your concentration, you are currently in a state of light meditation.”
“…”
“The meditation is over.”
“According to your performance during the meditation process, your maximum mana has increased by 6 points. The current mana is 66.”
“Shallow meditation can’t get special feedback.”
“You got the racing achievement [Beginner].”
“[Beginner]: Successfully meditate once. Basic reward spirit +2. Meditation effect increases by 10% when worn.”
…………
After observing the system log, Rod was delighted. In his previous life, Rod also obtained the achievement [Beginner], but did not enjoy the extra rewards brought by the racing.
“I remember that the beginner’s achievements in the previous life seemed to be only mental +1, and there was no additional reward after wearing it. Now not only the increased spirit is improved, but also the meditation effect can be enhanced after wearing it.” Rod recalled for a while.
Comparing with the achievements in memory, Rhode once again realized how high the attributes he obtained would provide with the blessing of racing. At the same time, Rod also deeply understood how powerful he, who can obtain a large number of racing achievements, can become with his basic attributes alone.
Shaking his head, Rod forced himself not to think about achievements for the time being, and focused his attention on the necromancer apprentices on the ground not far away. With the Hawkeye technique, Rod looked towards the enemy.
At the forefront was a group of skeleton soldiers. The specific number was not counted by Rhode. I think there should be more than a dozen. In the middle of the team is a man in black robes riding on a horse, covered in black robes, this is the standard dress of a necromancer. This person should be the manipulator of this team of undead, the apprentice of the necromancer.
On both sides and behind the apprentice were four heavily armed skeleton warriors. Behind the team is a dense group of walking corpses. Because the walking corpses are the slowest, they can only limp and follow behind. Rhodes estimated that the apprentices also put this large group of walking corpses to the end of the team for this reason.
Rod was observing quietly on the tree. The position he was in was very hidden. As long as the apprentice didn’t believe that someone was on the tree and watched carefully, he would not find himself.
As the apprentices approached a little closer to the tomb, Lord slowed his breathing to reduce the possibility of any exposure.
…………
Elott was thinking about how to use so many gold coins when he returned to the Necromancer Academy on the way back.
First of all, I have to learn all the courses I could not afford before, what mystery is deep meditation, and then I learn some powerful spells, after all these are learned, I will become a first-class necromancer, and then whether it is to participate in the mainland All kinds of wars in the world, or to become the lord of the same place, are left to make their own choices…
As Elott got closer and closer to the tomb he found, he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart. Elott didn’t understand the origin of this feeling, but knew that it made him very uncomfortable.
Before he was completely close to the tomb, Elott was surprised and angry to find that his originally sealed exit was opened again at this time. Elott clearly remembered that he had left the undead creature to seal the exit of the tomb.
Who is it… Elott had this idea in his mind.
Elott first suspected that someone had been here, but the tomb had not been discovered for so long, and it was unlikely that others would discover it by luck alone.
If no one else has been here, then the most likely possibility is that the sleeping undead creature in the tomb has awakened. Elott came to this conclusion.
Elott felt it in his mind. The undead creatures that he had arranged to guard in the passage had all disappeared at this time, and they should have all been wiped out.
There is no time to feel sorry for the undead creatures under him. Elott thought about it for a while, and told him rationally that he already had the gold coins he needed. The safest way is to leave the place immediately and change the remaining undead creatures to gold coins. Hurry back to the college.
But there was another voice in Elott’s heart, he was unwilling to leave like this. There is a sleeping undead creature in the tomb. According to his thoughts, it is most likely that the undead creature has awakened instead of being discovered by others.
The undead creature in the tomb has already been booked by Elott. Elott believes that with the help of this powerful undead creature, he will soon stand out in the academy.
In the end, you still have to go to the depths of the tomb by yourself, and you will know it at a glance. Thinking of this, Elott got off his horse and began to dispatch the undead creatures.
Elliott first sent all the skeleton soldiers to the surrounding area to guard against possible enemies, and then scattered the walking corpses to the outermost periphery for observation. After arranging the skeleton soldiers and the walking corpses, Elott prepares to enter the passage.
Another bad feeling came, and Elott was sure that there was something in the passage.
Because he didn’t know the specific situation in the passage, Elott asked the two skeleton warriors to enter the passage first to see if there were any enemies lurking in the passage.
Skeleton warriors are low-level undead creatures and cannot convey specific information. After confirming that there was no abnormality in the passage, Elott prepared to enter the passage personally to check.
…………
Rod was on the tree watching the deployment of the undead creatures made by the apprentice of the necromancer underneath, and he couldn’t help but secretly say something dangerous.
Rod had thought of assassinating him lurking in the channel before, but considering that there were too many variables in the channel, he gave up this idea. At this time, the prudent approach of the Necromancer confirmed this point. Without this tree, Rod could not think of a suitable place to hide.
Rod saw that the necromancer apprentice sent two skeleton warriors down the tunnel. This is undoubtedly good news for Rod. Rhode had to consider, in addition to how to deal with the necromancer apprentice, and how to deal with the remaining group of undead creatures.
Once surrounded by this group of undead creatures, the undead creature’s ability to fear death will be maximized. With the four skeleton warriors, it may be difficult to get out of it.
Fortunately, the apprentice first sent the two skeleton warriors to the tomb. Although the remaining group of undead creatures is extremely large, as long as they are not surrounded, it takes a little more time to end.
Rod watched the Necromancer apprentice walking towards the passage. In order to increase the success rate of the assassination, Rod assigned the remaining free attribute points to the speed. The current speed attribute is 9.
Since it was an assassination that jumped from a height, the sharp blade coupled with the impact of gravity can cause great damage. The assassination was not based on Rhode’s own strength, but Rhode’s hit rate.
Although it is almost impossible to miss, Rhode assigned the remaining attribute points to the speed just in case. In addition to increasing the speed of shots and movement, the speed attribute can also improve your reaction ability.
The necromancer apprentice came to the entrance of the passage, first looked down, and then stretched out one foot, ready to step into the passage.
At this time, taking advantage of the apprentice’s attention all concentrated in the passage, Rod moved.
He saw Luo leaped out of the tree trunk five or six meters above the ground, holding a sword in both hands, and the sword was down. The target pointed by the blade is the apprentice of the Necromancer with half of his foot in the tomb.
The apprentice seemed to feel something, turning around and looking at Rod, his body instinctively wanted to avoid this sudden attack from the sky. But it was too late, and Rod’s sword arrived in a flash, and the apprentice of the Necromancer still had a trace of astonishment in his eyes.
Rod’s sword easily pierced the back of the apprentice of the Necromancer, piercing from the upper part of the spine, obliquely from top to bottom. Under the blessing of gravity, Rod did not even put much effort into it. He only needed to hold the hilt with both hands, and the sword body was completely out of the student body from the back.
The blood came out with the piercing of the long sword, but immediately stopped due to the contraction of the muscles. The hot blood splashed on Rhode’s face. Unlike the fight in previous games and the killing of cold undead in the grave before, Rhode could feel a kind of heat in his blood.
A…the heat of life.
