  On the eve of Chapter 66

The old man told Rhodes about his situation in a strange tone, The tone carries has several points of longing, but also has several points of firmness.

But, after listening to the old man's words, Rhodes was indifferent.

Even if the old man just said a few words to Rhodes, Rhodes already realized that the old man at this time was in a panic.

For the old man, in essence, whether it is the rest of the Business Group or Rhodes, they are the objects he does not understand.

Since the Business Group can kill him halfway, Rhodes also has this opportunity, and the old man completely rejected the Business Group and chose Rhodes wholeheartedly, which is undoubtedly the performance.

At this time, the old man, who has already faced death, has no doubt that his desire for life surpasses his fear of the unknown. The old man firmly grasped the last bit of hope and was reluctant to let it go. Even if he didn't know anything about Rhodes, because of Rhodes' possible strength, the old man regarded it as the last hope of survival.

Perhaps in extreme predicament, the old man didn't think much about the panic, so he said the most valuable thing he could provide, that is, those gold coins.

In order to survive, or to temporarily get out of the immediate predicament, people often make wrong choices.

Just as these thoughts flashed through Rhodes' mind, the old man in front of him still said something to Rhodes in a longing tone, but Rhodes didn't hear a word.

Compared with the mayor, the old man in front of him is a lot shallower in every aspect. Whether it is his patience or his own ability, he is completely inferior to what Rhodes has encountered before. opponent.

Even though he didn't have much contact with the old man, Rhodes had a general understanding of the old man. Therefore, Rhodes had some indescribable feeling in his heart, either boring, or a direct indifference.

Rhodes closed his eyes and sensed the concentration of death energy on the old man.

As if to confirm something, Rhodes opened his eyes and waved at the old man outside the door, interrupting the old man's words, and at the same time said indifferently:

"Not yet when the time comes."

Rhodes ignored the old man in front of him. At Rhodes' cue, vampire closed the door directly.

Outside the door, when the old man saw the door closed, he froze in place for a while, not knowing what to do.

However, realizing what Rhodes had said earlier, the old man was overjoyed. Hasn't when the time comes, does this sentence mean, when he leaves, will he take me with him?

Recognizing this, the old man walked downstairs with this joy in his heart.

The old man didn't know it, he completely misunderstood what Rhodes meant.

The undead mage generally ignores the living. You must know that the undead creatures controlled by the undead mage, whether they are walking corpses or skeleton soldiers, are not created out of thin air.

Any powerful undead mage will have thousands of people die at his hands as he grows up, whether it's to acquire resources or create undead creatures.

Rhodes knows that according to the current game progress, the undead mage has not reached the level of the later. Although it will slaughter civilians to create undead creatures, it is limited to the area near Dia and inside Dia.

Even the Spell Academy, which cultivates undead mage, will issue a task to let the apprentice-level undead mage kill each other, and select the most outstanding undead mage, while the rest of the dead apprentices become Food for the victors.

The apprentice received the task from the Academy to destroy the town where the mayor is located, which reflects the way the Academy cultivates the undead mage.

The fierce internal struggles destined Dia's undead mage to be like scattered sand. Even if a single undead mage is extremely powerful, when it really faces high-level creatures and a well-disciplined army, it often fails. easily defeated.

In the final analysis, Soul Evocation Technique is doomed that the undead mage will not trust each other. Killing the undead mage of the same rank can get huge benefits. This also led to the fact that the undead mage has a strong strength, but has been suppressed by the surrounding forces within Dia.

Although Dia also has a great lord on the surface, but because all places are dominated by powerful undead mage, they will not obey the great lord at all, which is also the main reason for the internal struggle of Dia.

The interior of the undead mage lacks an existence that can rule all undead mage with absolute strength, and lacks a real ruler.

Rhodes knows that this will change when the second expansion opens.

A peerless undead mage will bring two Divine Items of the undead family to lead all the undead mage in the entire Dia and fight against all the forces on the continent.

Perhaps only when the second expansion pack opens, the rest of the continent will understand the power of undead mage. The undead mage, who survived the cruel infighting, is in unison with the outside world and has the supreme powerhouse command, making the entire continent fall into the catastrophe of the undead mage.

The name of the second expansion is "Shadow of Death".

However, this information is still too far away for the current Rhodes, even if the one-year deadline for the Soul Mission is over, the first expansion is only halfway through. What Rhodes needs to consider now is how to quickly increase his strength and complete his soul quest.

Rhodes recalculated the current situation, the mayor, the undead mage, various undead creatures... After confirming it again, Rhodes did not continue to think about these, but sat in the room and once again Do meditation.

…………

After a while, Rhodes opened his eyes.

Not as unaware as before, due to the improvement of overall knowledge and spirit attributes, coupled with shallow meditation, Rhodes can actively separate a part of consciousness and use it to perceive the surrounding exception.

Therefore, Rhodes immediately ended his meditation when he noticed the magic wave coming from outside the hotel, took the vampire next to him, and walked out of his room.

Rhodes came to the downstairs of the hotel, the old man was nowhere to be seen, the door hung with wooden bolts.

Through perception, Rhodes knew that the old man was hiding in a room in the corner of the hotel at this time. Because of fear, a lot of death energy was radiated out. Not easy.

Rhodes didn't take care of the old man, but took off the peg and walked out the door.

On the street outside, Rhodes saw a black cloud that was spreading towards the surroundings. At this time, the sky was not completely dark, but the undead mage immediately used treasure to create these black clouds in the sky.

Then the sky was not yet shaded, Rhodes saw that the black cloud was spreading from a place not far from the town in an expanding trend towards the town.

Rhodes knew that this should be the way the treasure made this black cloud, and that place was where the undead mage was.

Black clouds spread faster. While Rhodes was observing the black cloud, the range of the black cloud had already crossed the location of the hotel, and it continued to spread around, covering the entire town within a short time.

Because of the shroud of black clouds, the surroundings suddenly became dark, Rhodes looked all around and found that the light was obviously brighter than last night. Rhodes can still see the scene around him, even under the cover of dark clouds.

It's not as good as yesterday's late night. Since it's not night yet, the effect of black clouds obscuring the vision is obviously not very good. At least Rhodes can directly see the surrounding scenes without the need of torch. of fire.

At this time, the black cloud has not weakened Rhodes' perception effect. If it is in this state, Rhodes can find the hidden undead mage on the battlefield simply by sensing the concentration of death energy in his body. Location.

Since it was the second time I saw this black cloud, Rhodes also had some understanding of the characteristics of the black cloud.

The location on the edge of the town still releases black clouds toward this side, and the concentration of the black clouds gradually deepens. Rhodes knew that the undead mage would definitely not attack at the moment, but would not attack the mansion until the dark clouds had completely gathered and it was still evening.

Although the undead mage wouldn't attack immediately, Rhodes couldn't just wait there, but walked towards the mayor's mansion.

On the way forward, Rhodes who didn't even see it, and the few remaining townspeople didn't show up at this time.

Reminiscent of what the old man said when he came to the door of his room, Rhodes also realized it. These townspeople should not hide, but were killed and taken away by the undead creatures who came to test last night, the group of undead creatures that Rhodes killed at the hotel door last night.

While there was still light around, Rhodes took a closer look at the houses down the road. While observing, Rhodes didn't slow down at all, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the mayor's mansion.

Standing outside the mayor's yard, Rhodes saw the skeleton warrior in front of the mansion and the mayor standing beside the skeleton warrior at a glance.

According to what he said, the mayor left the safest mansion and came to the skeleton warrior. This also means that when the battle starts, once Rhodes does not take action, the undead mage can use spell to block the mayor's way back to the mansion, and then send undead creatures to attack the skeleton warriors, and the mayor will be in danger.

Rhodes looked at the mayor. The mayor was still dressed as yesterday, with no decorations on his body except for a black robe, which is also the dress preferred by the undead mage.

Rhodes noticed that the number of skeleton warriors beside the mayor was obviously more than the number of skeleton warriors stationed outside the mansion last time.

At this time, the mayor also saw Rhodes not far away.

Looking at Rhodes and the vampire beside him, and then at the black clouds in the sky, the mayor nodded to Rhodes, indicating to Rhodes that he already knew of his arrival.

At this time, the mayor took out a prepared torch from the side, and at the same time raised his hand expressionlessly and waved it lightly. Suddenly, the top of the torch ignited a flame.

Because the location where the black clouds gather is the center of the town, which is where the mansion is located, during the time when Rhodes and the mayor met, the surrounding area of ​​the mansion was already dark. of light is very obvious.

Rhodes believes that even if the undead mage is secretly observing the battle situation, he can see the mayor holding the torch at a glance, and confirm his identity through the movement of the mayor when he casts the spell. A large number of undead creatures will be sent to forcefully kill the mayor.

Seeing this, Rhodes stopped taking care of the mayor.

Rhodes did not enter the courtyard where the mansion was, but turned around and walked towards the darkness behind.

Rhodes knew that through the temptation the day before, the undead mage had become wary of himself, and he would search all the way to the mansion.

In other words, Rhodes impossible, as before, just find a place to hide outside the yard.

Because of the weather, the undead mage will not carefully search all the houses in the town, but will focus on these places around the mayor's mansion.

If Rhodes doesn't pay attention to hiding, maybe the undead mage will find Rhodes before fighting with the mayor, and then lead all the undead creatures to besiege Rhodes. For Rhodes, this is obviously not worth the gain. .

According to Rhodes' estimation, if the undead creatures sent by the previous undead mage were just temptations, there would only be more undead creatures this time.

To deal with so many undead creatures at the same time, if only the number of low-level undead creatures increased, it would be fine, but once the number of ghosts is too large, Rhodes is difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Rhodes needs to find a suitable position and wait for the battle to begin.

Rhodes heads to an abandoned house that he picked up on the way.

Rhodes came to the door of the house. The door of the house showed signs of damage. Rhodes reached out, pushed the door open easily, and stepped inside.

Entering the room, Rhodes looked inside. With a fair amount of light, Rhodes noticed that there wasn't much dust in the house, and that the owner of the house had only recently disappeared.

After clearing a clean spot in the house, Rhodes sat down and vampire came to Rhodes.

Rhodes collects the Revenant Crystal from vampire.

Because the crystal of death is emitting death energy all the time, if Rhodes still let vampire hold it, the undead mage, who is sensitive to death energy, can easily find the location of this house.

Rhodes is in this position, just can sense the death energy around the mayor's mansion, and although vampire also releases death energy, the concentration of death energy is far less obvious than the mayor's mansion. , under the original death energy coverage of this small town, it is difficult to be discovered by others.

If the undead mage really wants to search all the houses in the town first, and then attack the mayor's mansion, Rhodes has nothing to do.

Rhodes did not choose to meditate, but just sat and waited, putting his senses entirely on the mayor's mansion.

Due to his long meditation period, Rhodes was in a full state of mind and never felt sleepy.

Feeling the gentle death energy from the mayor's side, Rhodes was not in a hurry, but just sat there and waited silently.
