  Chapter 59 Dark Sky Curtain

After staring at Rhodes for a while, the mayor replied: "If If you are not in such a hurry, a Business Group will come to the town in a few days, and you can follow them to the City of Sorrows."

Rhodes stood outside the mansion, listening to the mayor's words Afterwards, as if thinking of something, he said, "There seems to be no Freelance Chamber of Commerce in the town."

The mayor replied: "There are not many people in the town, but they still have to live. , many basic materials need the help of the Business Group to transport."

The mayor's speech was not fast, and he did not become impatient because he was tempted by the foreign undead mage. Instead, he answered in a soothing tone. When Rhodes questioned, he kept staring at Rhodes.

After listening to the mayor's explanation, Rhodes was more certain of what he was thinking, and then asked the mayor, "I want to leave immediately. Does the mayor have a map around here?"

The mayor replied, "You should understand the value of maps. If you need someone to lead the way, maybe you can find experienced people in the town."

Rhodes did not choose to object. After being silent for a while, Rhodes said to the mayor: "Then, don't bother the mayor."

After hearing this, the mayor reminded Rhodes: "The only hotel in the town is the In the back of town, in front of the forest at the back. If you plan to stay in town and wait for the Business Group to arrive, you can rest there for a few days."

Rhodes noticed something, but He didn't say anything, just nodded to the mayor, and then he didn't say a word.

Steward stepped out of the mansion, turned to close the door, and led Rhodes back down the path he came from.

Different from before entering the mansion, Rhodes kept pondering over the mayor's words when he returned from the path. Although he did not fully grasp the mayor's strength, he also had a general understanding.

The mayor was extremely cautious in his words, and did not reveal any key information, but due to the asymmetry of intelligence, Rhodes still saw a lot of clues just through the dialogue between the two.

Through several replies from the mayor, Rhodes realized that the mayor seemed to wish he could stay in the town. Even if he expressed his intention to get the map and leave immediately, the mayor refused to give it to him because of the high value of the map.

Under normal circumstances, even if the price of the map is high, the mayor will not refuse, but will put forward various conditions to Rhodes, so that Rhodes can get the map after paying a certain price.

But at this time, the mayor didn't give Rhodes any chance and simply refused to provide the map. At the end, the mayor seems to kindly tell Rhodes the location of the hotel, but in fact it is more to imply that Rhodes stays in the town.

Because there is no Freelance Chamber of Commerce in the town, it is doomed that the town's commerce is difficult to develop, and not many business groups choose to come to this town.

The weak Business Group will not choose to go here for fear of encountering danger in the small town. On the other hand, if the powerful Business Group is transporting basic materials, it will not look down on the benefits obtained in the town and will not choose to come to this town.

As for what the mayor said, the Business Group will come in a few days, Rhodes can only think that this is just a simple remark from the mayor, or that the Business Group has communicated with the mayor in advance. Agreed.

If the Business Group really had an agreement with the mayor in advance, it would arrive in the past few days or so, and the ultimate goal of the Business Group is the City of Sorrows...

Rhodes felt a bit of a coincidence, but an idea stuck in Rhodes' mind, and Rhodes had to believe it.

The original Silver Seal Business Group probably made a special trip to this town before going to the City of Sorrows.

Rhodes couldn't simply infer what agreement the Business Group chief Uther had with the mayor here. But if this guess is correct, the mayor wants to stay here because he wants to kill himself and gain benefits with the help of the Silver Seal Business Group.

The corpse of an undead mage, even if it's just an apprentice level, can create a third rank ghost if handled properly.

It's just a pity that although the mayor's idea was good, he obviously didn't know that Rhodes joined the Silver Seal Business Group first, and almost completely disintegrated the entire Business Group by his own strength.

If the mayor wants to hold Rhodes back and wait for the arrival of the Silver Seal Business Group, it can only mean that the mayor's strength is worse than Rhodes originally thought, or that the mayor's strength has certain restrictions.

Before entering the mansion, Rhodes did not take back the crystal of the soul of vampire, but asked vampire to put the crystal of death in his pocket, and the mayor could also feel the death energy emanating from vampire.

Rhodes could feel the heart-pounding aura inside the mayor's mansion. Whether it was the perceptual warning brought by the reconnaissance technique or Rhodes' instinctive reaction, they all believed that there were powerful undead creatures in the mansion.

But if the mayor's strength is really strong, he will not let himself leave easily.

Rhodes concluded that this aura should have come from a creature dedicated to defense. Although such creatures are powerful, they have many limitations and usually cannot leave a certain range.

In his speech, although the mayor did not try to introduce himself into the mansion, he just arranged two rows of skeleton warriors to stand in the hall, just to prevent any abnormality from being discovered.

If Rhodes saw the Skeleton Warrior and went straight into the mansion to attack, he would obviously be attacked by this defensive creature. Fortunately, Rhodes had seen this kind of creature in his previous life, but only through subtle feelings, he found the abnormality and chose to leave temporarily.

Following the steward ahead, Rhodes and vampire came to the place of entry. Steward originally wanted to continue leading the way and take Rhodes to the inn the mayor said, but Rhodes stopped him with a wave of his hand and walked alone towards the back of the town.

There is exactly the location of the hotel that the mayor said.

This time, although it was only a few words, Rhodes almost completely explored the situation of the mayor.

Rhodes couldn't help but be a little puzzled. After he understood these situations, they were originally just separate sentences, as if something connected them all together. The original doubts disappeared completely, and these answers seemed to appear on their own. Same as in my own mind.

At this point, if Rhodes can open the attribute panel, you will see that the hero specialties column on the second row, although it still shows: Unawakened (1/3), but at this time it is violently flashing.

Rhodes, apparently unaware of this, went to the hotel that the mayor said while observing the situation around him.

Rhodes obviously didn't plan to leave like this. Since most of the mayor's information has been tested by himself, he just needs to wait for the mayor to reveal the weak spot.

If the mayor's card is the defending creature inside the mansion, Rhodes only needs to wait for the chance that the mayor comes outside the mansion and kills the residents before engaging him.

Except for the unknown types of defensive creatures, the rest of the low-level undead creatures, for Rhodes, are not much of a threat except for some trouble.

The mayor obviously didn't know that the Business Group he had expected had disappeared. The mayor was obviously more anxious than Rhodes if he knew that no reinforcements would come.

Seeing that the residents of the town have not yet fled, Rhodes knows that although the town is full of death energy, the creation of undead creatures has not been known by all residents, at least not the entire town is aware of it to this point.

The townspeople will be terrified by the disappearance of others, but not all will flee the place.

Rhodes knows that even the creation of undead creatures, the mayor is doing it in secret, arresting all the residents without at first.

Rhodes was not surprised by the actions of the mayor. Even if the mayor did not take action against these townspeople, due to the proximity of the border, and waiting for the war to start, other undead mage would come here to bring All the people here are transformed into undead creatures.

According to Rhodes' perception, the concentration of death energy contained in the mayor's mansion is not much different from the previous vampire's sleeping tomb. The mayor can completely kill all these residents, and then accumulate them in the mansion. , for fast conversion.

Since Rhodes didn't know why the mayor didn't choose such a way to improve his strength, Rhodes didn't directly attack the residents here, but chose to go to the hotel here and wait for the night to come.

If the mayor chooses to capture the residents of the town at night and transform them, Rhodes can kill the undead creatures sent by the mayor, weaken the mayor, and limit the mayor to the mansion.

When the mayor's strength drops to a certain level, Rhodes can force an attack even if there are guardian creatures in the mansion.

Rhodes came to a building that was several times taller than the rest of the surrounding buildings, but still much smaller than the mayor's mansion.

Arriving at the door of the hotel in the town, Rhodes walked in.

At this time, a sleepy old man was sitting at the counter in the hotel, not realizing Rhodes' arrival for a while.

Rhodes looked inside the hostel. The first floor was supposed to be a restaurant. At this time, there was no one there. There were only a few tables and chairs, and some dust had fallen on them. Obviously, the host of the hostel didn't care. clean up here.

Looking at the scale of the hotel and the rest of the scene, Rhodes realized that in addition to being used as a hotel, it was also used as a tavern for the residents of the town to entertain here. It should be the number of residents in the town. Not many places to move around.

Rhodes walked over to the counter on the first floor and tapped twice.

The old man who had been dozing off suddenly woke up and looked at Rhodes in front of him with a look of surprise, obviously because no one came here for a long time, and suddenly someone came to the door at this time.

"I want to rest here for a few nights." Before the old man could react, Rhodes first stated his purpose.

Hearing this sentence, the old man confirmed Rhodes' intention and said, "sorry...no one has come here for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet guests today. If there are two rooms, four Silvers a day. Coin. There will be some food every morning and evening."

Rhodes> nodded.
