  Chapter 65 Negotiations

Rhodes looked at the mayor and said slowly: "You know that, too. The undead mage knows my existence, even if you send undead creatures to attack you, there will be powerful undead creatures around to protect you."

"The number of undead creatures you need to deal with is not too many, He also impossible stopped in place and waited for my shot. In this case, even if I tried to attack, it would probably not be successful."

"Therefore, I need you to defend outside the mansion. The distance between this undead mage and the mansion should not be too close. Only if you hold back enough undead creatures will I have a chance to deal with him."

After listening to Rhodes' proposal, black Under the robe, the mayor's brows frowned, directly refused: "No. When in the mansion, the undead mage can't directly use spell to attack me, this location is very safe."

"And it has the defense of the mansion. , my skeleton warriors only need to resist attacks from one direction, can play the most effective defense, I will not leave the mansion."

Rhodes understands that the mayor is extremely reluctant to leave the mansion. , In addition to the defensive advantage the mansion can bring to the mayor, more importantly, there is something inside the mansion that can make the mayor feel extremely at ease.

The mayor apparently didn't know that Rhodes was aware of this. Rhodes never stepped inside the mansion, and only observed outside the gate when he was closest to the mansion.

The mayor's words did not mention this at all, including his reluctance to leave here before, apparently because of the relationship within the mansion.

Rhodes did not continue to speak, but the meaning was very obvious. Rhodes would definitely not agree to the original suggestion made by the mayor, and Rhodes would also not agree to the suggestion that Rhodes wanted to lead the mayor out of the mansion.

Both remained silent for a while, neither of whom was the first to suggest otherwise.

Even though the previous undead mage has been gone for a while, the black clouds in the sky have not dissipated much, and still block the surrounding light.

Through the previous dialogue between the two people, they both knew each other's part of the characteristics of each other. At this time, how to use this characteristic to obtain the most favorable conditions for their own advantages is what they need to consider. This is also Why is verbal temptation necessary.

Finally, the mayor may have thought of something, and said to Rhodes: "Then, you and the skeleton warrior resist his undead creatures in front of the mansion, and you don't have to take the risk to kill him. , I really can't resist it, so I can retreat into the mansion and use magic to resist for a while, how about that?"

Rhodes shook the head, apparently not agreeing with the mayor's proposal.

The mayor's proposal seems to be for Rhodes' consideration. Instead of letting Rhodes kill the undead mage, he let Rhodes and vampire stay in front of the mansion, but in fact, this has a great drawback. .

Once the undead mage sees both Rhodes and the mayor appearing, he will send all the undead creatures to press him. When the time comes, the mayor withdraws directly into the mansion, and Rhodes knows the people in the Dao Mansion mansion. Abnormal, did not dare to enter, became Rhodes alone in front of the mansion to face all the undead creatures.

Seeing Rhodes rejecting his proposal again, the mayor was a little annoyed and said to Rhodes: "Then what are your thoughts? If you have any good way to deal with this undead mage, Then say it."

Rhodes replied: "I only have one request, and that is to deal with this undead mage away from the mansion, your mansion gives me a bad feeling Besides, you have to deal with this undead mage. If you really don't want to, I won't force it, but I won't help you."

Hearing Rhodes' emphasis on staying away from the mansion again, the mayor's His face darkened.

In Rhodes's words, although there is no clear explanation, it undoubtedly expresses a meaning to the mayor, that is, he found an abnormality in the mansion. After realizing this, the mayor was silent for a while.

In the previous test, the mayor had already confirmed a lot of Rhodes' strength. In addition, he had also lost a few skeleton warriors for the test. The mayor really didn't want Rhodes to leave like this.

But if you are really far away from the mansion, the mayor has many ideas that cannot be realized.

Comparing the strength of the two people before, the mayor finally confirmed something and said:

"I agree, Elliot, you can fight outside the mansion, but Can't get too far from here."

"I can go outside the mansion, right next to the skeleton warrior, and resist the undead creatures. But again, you need to go and kill the undead mage. I have I have seen your strength, and with your full strength, that undead mage won't last long."

Under Rhodes' insistence, the mayor finally agreed to leave the mansion, although he only came to the mansion. The periphery is where the skeleton warriors used to resist these undead creatures, but for Rhodes, this is also a big advantage.

After confirming the location of the mayor, the undead mage of the attacker will not only send more undead creatures to attack, but also use spell to cut off the mayor's retreat back to the mansion.

In contrast, if Rhodes has been hiding in the shadows and not attacking, losing the advantage of the mansion, the mayor will be in great danger.

Seeing that the mayor agreed to this request, Rhodes did not continue to ask for anything.

According to Rhodes' original idea, according to the mayor's proposal, Rhodes can even ask the mayor to provide the promised treasure in advance due to the need to deal with a mage.

But at this time, since the mayor had already been outside the mansion, if he made too many demands, he would inevitably be rejected. Rhodes did not continue to make these demands.

The conversation is over, and both of them have decided something between them. Since they both got the results they needed, the two did not continue to say anything, but it was unknown what they were thinking about.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated a lot.

The conversation didn't last long, and there was still a lot of time, both of them were silent, or were calculating. At this point, the two ended their conversation, just waiting for the next attack from the undead mage.

The mayor nodded to Rhodes, turned and entered the mansion. The skeleton warriors next to them also followed one by one, and finally they all entered the interior of the mansion and closed the gate of the mansion.

Watching the mayor return to the inside of the mansion, Rhodes didn't say anything more, took Vampire and walked towards the road where he came.

At this time, although the sky was still dark, it was much stronger than before. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the original starlight, illuminating the road under Rhodes' feet.

Following the road that the day had taken, Rhodes walked towards the former inn.

Along the way, Rhodes encountered no special circumstances. It didn't take long for Rhodes to come to the front of the hotel.

The hotel's door was still half-open as Rhodes had left.

Previously, Rhodes discovered these dark clouds in the sky when he just opened the door, and was immediately attacked by the ghosts, so he didn't have time to close the door. At this time, it was still what Rhodes looked like when he left.

Rhodes entered the hotel and returned to his at first room.

Arriving in the room, Rhodes found a place to sit and began to settle his harvest.

In this time of battle, including the undead creatures killed by vampire, Rhodes got a total of 920 EXP points, and the total EXP points reached 1050 points.

Among these EXPs, a ghost provides 200 EXP, the mayor's skeleton warrior provides a total of 90 EXP, and the other EXPs are all from the walking dead and the ghost.

Although the EXP provided by a single walking corpse and ghost is not much, it can still provide an objective amount of EXP under the increase of the number.

That's why, Rhodes didn't choose to leave after discovering the battle in front of the mayor's mansion, but directly joined the battle.

"Consumes EXP 700, remaining EXP 350. Profession level is raised to 2 Swordsman Level 8..."

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."

In this battle, Rhodes only loses his mana, and apart from this has no loss. This can't help but make Rhodes lament the convenience of spell, even if it's only spell of Second Rank, it makes the originally difficult battle a lot easier.

In the original battle, if Rhodes didn't cast the ice magic ring or use other spells, but simply relied on the sword technique to kill the ghost, or deal with the mayor's skeleton warrior , no doubt very difficult. Using spell is much easier.

In battle, Rhodes uses the ice magic ring most often. The ice magic ring takes into account the effects of group damage and impact. Even if it is only a Second Rank spell, it also reflects the advantages of spell.

Perhaps the spells displayed by Rhodes are not as effective as the mage apprentices of the same level, but with Rhodes' own fighting style, they are even more powerful.

Thinking of this, Rhodes allocated his remaining two attribute points to knowledge, taking advantage of the opportunity to recover mana through meditation.

Although Rhodes doesn't have many spell types at present, the overall use is more attack spells, but with an extra 20 mana, it is equivalent to using Frost Demon once more in a battle. Ring opportunity.

Compared with this, it is not as strong as when the at first attribute is low, and the distribution of the attribute to other basic attributes is not very effective. In addition, the healing magic scrolls in the space ring are currently very abundant, and Rhodes also There is no attribute point set aside to restore health.

The skill point Rhodes is reserved, ready to be allocated when needed.

While Rhodes was checking his attribute panel, Vampire also found a place, took out the Soul Crystal, and began to absorb the energy in it.

Having learned the lesson from the last time, Rhodes asked vampire to take care of the Revenant Crystal, so that the Revenant Crystal was not lost.

As for vampire, when using the bat transformation skill, the soul crystal is just like the clothes on the vampire body, it is intact and will not be lost due to bat transformation.

Seeing this, Rhodes ignored it and prepared to start meditating.

To calm down and not think about what happened before, Rhodes went into a meditative state.

…………

There was a knock on the door and Rhodes opened his eyes immediately.

There was no foreshadowing in his mind, and the intermediate reconnaissance technique did not produce any abnormality, indicating that there was no threat to the person knocking on the door.

In addition to this, there is another possibility, that is, the reconnaissance level of the person knocking on the door far exceeds Rhodes, completely suppressing Rhodes' perception, so that Rhodes can't feel anything.

But the probability of this situation is extremely low, especially in Dia, where few people master the reconnaissance technique, let alone the reconnaissance technique of High Rank.

Rhodes didn't care, Vampire on the side also woke up immediately, and according to Rhodes' instructions, he stepped forward and opened the door.

Seeing the people standing outside the door, vampire thought for a moment and moved away so Rhodes could see what was going on outside the door.

Rhodes looked towards the door. The old man who had received Rhodes downstairs in the hotel was standing at the door of Rhodes.

Seeing the old man, Rhodes didn't understand what his purpose was, so he didn't rush to speak, but waited for the old man to speak.

Sure enough, after seeing Rhodes in the back, the old man opened his mouth, first wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again, took a deep breath, and said to Rhodes:

"I've prepared some food downstairs. If you two need it, I can bring it up."

Rhodes said, "Didn't I say, no food is needed."

In order to prevent anyone from tampering with the food, Rhodes only eats the dry food that he brings with him whenever he is outside.

This is what Rhodes has always done. Even when he came to the hotel, Rhodes also specifically confessed that he didn't want food. The old man obviously remembered this.

But at this time, the old man is obviously here for something, and the food may just be a saying of the old man.

Rhodes realized it before the old man could speak.

As expected, the old man continued to say to Rhodes: "I went to other parts of the town in the morning to check, and they were all gone..."

While saying these words, the old man The body of the body can not stop producing a kind of death energy, so that Rhodes who masters the Soul Evocation Technique can easily perceive it.

Extreme fear can also produce death energy.

When people like old people who continue to live in fear are transformed into undead creatures, there is a certain chance that they will be directly transformed into ghosts.

"I heard it last night, you were fighting outside the hotel. If you were the one who protected me, you must have the ability to take me out of this place..."

The old man continued to speak to Rhodes, but Rhodes said nothing.

Rhodes didn't want to say more, but finally said to the old man: "If you want to leave, you can leave here at any time. Was there no Business Group in the town before? You can leave with the Business Group. ."

The old man replied: "No... I am alone, once I stay away from here, I will encounter many dangers on the road. As for the Business Group, they can ask the people in the town a little. But you know my details, since I don't have any relatives, I will only be robbed and killed by people from the Business Group on the road..."

"And you are different...you are different...if you If you're willing to take me out of here, I'm willing to pay most of the gold coin I own, leaving only a little to live on..."
