  Chapter 103 Mission One

Rhodes had no idea what was going on behind him.

Out of the magic guild, Rhodes begins preparations for this mission.

…………

One day later, in front of the tomb.

Through the information conveyed in the crystal ball, Rhodes found exactly the tomb mentioned in the mission.

Arriving near the tomb, Rhodes looked around, almost all kinds of tombs around, and the transformation of undead creatures was going on at this time.

Rhodes had no idea about the rest of the surrounding tombs. Rhodes knew that although the Academy did not restrict the undead mage from coming here to transform undead creatures, it could not use undead creatures that did not belong to him.

Once you take an undead creature that doesn't belong to you, you may be punished by the Academy.

He came to the front of the tomb, and after confirming it, Rhodes walked down.

Entering the tomb, Rhodes walked out again not long after, at this time, a group of low-level undead creatures followed behind Rhodes.

Among these undead creatures, most of them are walking corpses, and there are only a few skeleton soldiers.

According to the requirements of the mission, Rhodes needs to bring the undead creatures here to the front of the battlefield, but Rhodes knows that this mission is not so simple.

At this point, Rhodes was followed by a large, worn-out carriage. Due to the slow speed of undead creatures, in order to reach the battlefield early, Rhodes rented this carriage for transporting undead creatures after spending a few gold coins.

Under Rhodes' control, at this time, the surrounding undead creatures, without exception, all entered the rear of the carriage.

Suddenly, Rhodes noticed the eyes staring at him on the side, Rhodes turned his head to look back, and saw an undead mage staring at him.

Through the comparison in his memory, Rhodes recognized that the undead mage in front of him was the low-level apprentice who gave the map to him when he first entered the City of Sorrows.

By the look in his eyes, Rhodes realized that the apprentice clearly recognized him too. Rhodes didn't say much. When he was about to board the carriage, the apprentice took the initiative to walk in front of the carriage where Rhodes was sitting, and began to try to talk to Rhodes:

"You are... the one who just entered the city yesterday. Mage the undead, you also took the 200gold coin quest, right?"

Perhaps aware of the look Rhodes looked towards himself, the apprentice immediately asked, "Do you remember me?"

Rhodes did not answer, but thought for a while before saying, "Remember, you are the guard who gave me the map at the door."

Seeing the undead mage in front of him Being willing to answer his own words, the apprentice was obviously delighted. He was still thinking about how to complete the current task. At this time, he met another companion who took the same task.

Recalling the power of the person in front of him when he entered the city, the apprentice knew that he would not be as simple as an ordinary undead mage. Since he was willing to answer with himself, he might be able to complete this task together.

Without waiting for the apprentice to continue speaking, Rhodes took the initiative to say: "Listen to what you mean, you also accepted the task of transporting undead creatures?"

Apprentice nodded, Rhodes continued: " So, are you willing to go to the mission location with me? I don't think you have a carriage for transporting undead creatures in advance, right?"

After hearing this, the apprentice was overjoyed, but his intuition told him that things were not so good. Simple. Having already experienced some things inside the Academy, the apprentice knew that the undead mage only considers his own interests and will not help himself for no reason, so he asked Rhodes:

"But... I need to What are you paying for? The benefits of this mission are so high, and there should be a lot of danger on the road..."

Rhodes replied: "With one more person, any problems on the road can be solved easily. If you feel bad about it, help I'm on the carriage, and I'll follow next to the carriage."

With that, Rhodes looked at the apprentice in front of him, waiting for his decision.

After listening to Rhodes' explanation, even though the apprentice still had some doubts in his heart, he dispelled a lot at this time. Nodded, he agreed to Rhodes' proposal.

The apprentice then let the undead beside him enter the carriage carried by Rhodes. All the while, Rhodes watched.

As the undead creatures all entered the carriage, under the control of the two, the undead creatures did not cause confusion, but stood next to each other.

At this point, Rhodes rode the centaur he had previously controlled. Under Rhodes' signal, the apprentice drove the carriage slowly forward.

Along the way, the apprentice tried to turn around and talk to Rhodes, but when he saw that Rhodes didn't say anything, he could only give up, and had to concentrate on driving the carriage.

Because the carriage was crowded with a large number of undead creatures, it was difficult to increase the speed for a while. Rhodes didn't care, and still followed behind the carriage.

The route chosen by Rhodes is the road closest to the mission goal. Along the way, Rhodes did not find any abnormality. It was originally a road, but at this time, there were no people coming and going, even the undead. mage, for safety's sake, also deliberately avoided this road.

The apprentice driving ahead didn't have any doubts about this, as if he didn't know the dangers of the main road, but he was very happy to have chosen the nearest road. Through this act, Rhodes knew that the apprentice in front of him was very inexperienced in handling the task.

As the war is about to start, if a powerful undead mage loses a lot of undead creatures, what he will do is to wantonly slaughter the rest of the undead mage apprentices, gather a large number of undead mage in a short time. Undead creatures, and then returned to the battlefield again.

Therefore, even Rhodes is prepared to leave at any time when encountering a powerful enemy, but the apprentice in front of him is not alert.

Rhodes didn't remind him. That might be why the apprentice chose to take on the task, Rhodes realized.

Rhodes began to think about the weirdness of the mission.

Anyone with a little spell aptitude can master spiritual imprint very quickly. For undead mage, spiritual imprint is the most basic technique, and the basic level is just like Soul Evocation Technique.

At the same time, as long as it is cultivated for a period of time, the undead mage will have a lot of understanding of spiritual imprint.

For low-level undead creatures, spiritual imprint is easy to establish, but difficult to remove. Generally speaking, as long as spiritual imprint is established, undead mage will hardly take the initiative to remove spiritual imprint.

Since the spiritual imprint is firmly rooted in the Soul Fire of the undead creature, it's okay if the undead creature dies. Once the undead mage tries to take the initiative to remove it, it will be directly subjected to a strong backlash, and the severe pain will cause Undead mage abandons this idea.

Also, actively disabling the spiritual imprint will permanently damage the spirit attribute of the undead mage.
