Chapter 66

The old man told Rod about his situation in a strange tone, with a certain desire and determination at the same time.

However, after listening to the old man’s words, Rod was indifferent.

Even if the old man only said a few words to Rod, Rod has realized that at this time the old man is panicking.

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

Since the merchant group could rob him halfway, Rod also had this opportunity, and the old man totally denied the merchant group and chose Rod, which is undoubtedly such a performance.

At this time, the old man who has been facing death, his desire for life undoubtedly surpassed his fear of the unknown. The old man firmly grasped the last bit of hope and was unwilling to let go. Even if he didn’t know anything about Rhodes, the old man regarded him as the last hope of surviving because of Rhode’s possible strength.

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

In order to survive, or to temporarily escape from the immediate predicament, people often make wrong choices.

Just as these thoughts flashed in Rod’s mind, the old man in front of him still said something to Rod in a hungry tone, but Rod did not listen to a word.

Compared with the mayor, the old man in front of him, no matter from which aspect, is a lot shallower, no matter whether it is patience or his own ability, he is completely inferior to the opponent that Rhode has encountered before.

Even if he didn’t have much contact with the old man, Rodriguez had a general understanding of the old man. Therefore, Rod’s heart had some unspeakable feelings, either bored or a direct disregard.

Luo Luo closed his eyes and felt the concentration of death energy in the old man.

As if confirming something, Rod opened his eyes, waved his hand at the old man outside the door, interrupted the old man’s words, and said lightly:

“It’s not yet time.”

Rod did not pay attention to the old man in front of him. Under Rod’s sign, the vampire closed the door directly.

Outside the door, the old man saw the door closed and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

However, realizing what Rod had said earlier, the old man was delighted. Before the time has come, the meaning of this sentence is, when he leaves, will he take me with him?

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

The old man didn’t know it at all, he completely misunderstood Rod’s meaning.

Necromancers generally ignore the living. You must know that the undead creatures controlled by the necromancer, whether they are walking corpses or skeleton soldiers, are not created out of thin air.Any powerful necromancer, as he grows up, thousands of people will die in his hands, whether it is to obtain resources or create undead creatures.

Rod knows that according to the current game progress, the Necromancer has not reached the later stage. Although it will slaughter civilians to create undead creatures, it is limited to the area near Diya and inside Diya.

Even the Necromancer Academy, which trains necromancers, will issue tasks for apprentice-level necromancers to kill each other, and select the most outstanding necromancer from them, and the remaining apprentices who have died become the nourishment for the victors.

The apprentice received the task from the academy and came to destroy the town where the mayor was located, which reflected the academy’s way of cultivating necromancers.

The fierce internal struggle has destined that Diya’s Necromancer is like scattered sand. Even if a single Necromancer has extremely strong strength, it is often easily defeated when facing high-level creatures and disciplined troops.

In the final analysis, spiritualism is destined to not trust each other between necromancers, and killing necromancers of the same rank can obtain huge benefits. This also caused the Necromancer to have a strong strength, but was always suppressed in Diya by the surrounding forces.

Although Diya also has a clear overlord, because all places are controlled by powerful necromancers, he will not obey the overlord at all. This is also the main reason for Diya’s internal struggle.

Within the Necromancer, there is no existence of a Necromancer that can rely on absolute strength to imperial control of all Necromancers, and a true ruler is missing.

Rod knows that this situation will change when the second expansion is opened.

A peerless Necromancer will bring two artifacts of the Necromancer clan to command all the Necromancers in the entire Diya area and fight against all the forces on the mainland.

Perhaps only when the second expansion is opened, the rest of the mainland can understand the power of the Necromancer. The Necromancers who survived the cruel internal fighting, under the condition of unanimously facing the outside and under the leadership of the strongest, caused the entire continent to fall into the catastrophe of the Necromancer.

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 period for the soul mission is over, the first expansion is only half of it. What Rod now needs to consider more is how to quickly improve his strength and complete his soul mission.

Rod recalculated the current situation, the mayor, the necromancer, various undead creatures…After confirming it again, Rod did not continue to think about these, but sat in the room and meditated again.

…………

After a while, Rod opened his eyes.

Unlike the previous unawareness, because the overall knowledge and spiritual attributes have been improved, coupled with the shallow meditation, Rhode can actively separate a part of the consciousness and use it to perceive the surrounding abnormalities.

Therefore, when he noticed the magical fluctuations coming from outside the hotel, Rhodes immediately ended the meditation, took the vampire on the side, and walked out of his room.

Rod came downstairs to the hostel, and the old man was no longer visible, with a wooden peg hanging on the door.

Through perception, Lord knew that the old man was hiding in a room at the corner of the hotel at this time. Because of fear, a lot of death energy was radiated outwards. For living people, this was already very difficult.

Rhode did not care about the old man, but took off the cork and walked out the door.

Coming to the street outside, Rod saw the dark clouds spreading around. At this time, the sky was not completely dark, but the necromancer used the treasure in the first time to create these black clouds in the sky.

Following the unobstructed sky, Rohde saw that the dark clouds were spreading toward the town in an expanding trend from a place not far from the town.

Rod knew that this should be the way the treasure created this black cloud, and at the same time, that place was exactly where the Necromancer was.

The spread of dark clouds is faster. During the time when Rod was observing the dark clouds, the range of the dark clouds had already crossed the location of the hostel, and it continued to spread to the surroundings, and it didn’t take long for the entire town to be enveloped in it.

Because of the cover of black clouds, the surroundings became dark at once, and Rod looked around and found that the light was obviously brighter than last night. Even with the cover of black clouds, Rhode can still see the surrounding scene clearly.

It was no better than yesterday’s late night. Since the night was not yet at this time, the effect of black clouds covering the field of vision was obviously not particularly good. At least Rhode could directly see the surrounding scenes without the need to use the flames brought by the torches.

At this time, the black cloud has not weakened Rhode’s perception effect. If it is in this state, Rhode can find the position of the hidden necromancer on the battlefield only by sensing the concentration of death energy on his body.

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

The location on the edge of the town still releases black clouds towards this side, and the density of the black clouds gradually deepens. Rod knew that the Necromancer would definitely not take action at the moment, but would wait until the black clouds were fully gathered and it was still evening before attacking the mansion.

Although the Necromancer would not attack immediately, Rhode could not just wait in place, but walked towards the mayor’s mansion.

On the way forward, Luo Luo did not see anyone, and none of the few remaining townspeople appeared at this time.

Reminiscing about what the old man said when he came to the door of his room, Rod has already realized it. These townspeople should not hide, but were killed and taken away by the undead creatures who came to test last night. It was the group of undead creatures that Lord killed at the gate of the hostel last night.

While there was still a chance of bright light around, Rod carefully observed the houses along the road. While observing, Rod did not slow down at all, and it didn’t take long for him to arrive at the mayor’s mansion.

Standing on the outskirts of the mayor’s courtyard, through the surrounding environment, Rod saw the skeleton warrior in front of the mansion and the mayor standing next to the skeleton warrior at a glance.

According to what he said, the mayor left the safest mansion and came to the side of the skeleton warrior. This also means that when the battle begins, once Rhodes does not take action, the necromancer can use spells to seal the mayor’s back path back to the mansion, and then send the undead creatures to attack the skeleton warrior, and the mayor will be in danger.

Rod looked at the mayor, who was still dressed as yesterday, except for a black robe, without any decoration on his body, which is also the dress preferred by the necromancer.

Rod 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 Lord not far away.

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

At this moment, the mayor took out a prepared torch from the side, and at the same time raised his hand blankly with a light wave, and suddenly, the top of the torch ignited a ball of flame.

Since the place where the black clouds gathered was in the center of the town, where the mansion was located, during the time when Rod and the mayor met, the surroundings of the mansion had been darkened, and the light brought by the torch was extremely obvious.Rod believes that even a necromancer who is observing the battle situation in secret can see the mayor holding a torch in the field at a glance, and his identity can be confirmed by the mayor’s actions when casting a spell, and then he will send a large number of undead creatures to suppress him. Come up and kill the mayor.

Upon seeing this, Rod did not take charge of the mayor anymore.

Rod did not enter the courtyard where the mansion was located, but turned directly and walked towards the darkness behind.

Rod knew that through the temptation the day before, the necromancer had already developed a certain amount of vigilance for himself, and would search on the way to the mansion.

In other words, it is impossible for Rod to find a place to hide outside the yard as before.

Due to the weather, the necromancer will not carefully search all the houses in the town, but will focus on searching these places around the mayor’s mansion.

If Rhode didn’t pay attention to hiding, maybe the necromancer would find Rhode before the battle with the mayor, and then lead all the undead creatures to besiege Rhodes. For Rhodes, this is obviously not worth the loss.

According to Rod’s estimation, if the undead creatures sent by the previous necromancer were only a temptation, then there will only be more undead creatures this time.

Dealing with so many undead creatures at the same time, if only the number of low-level undead creatures increased, but once the number of ghosts was too large, it would be difficult for Rhode to deal with it.

Therefore, Rhode needs to find a suitable position and wait for the start of the battle.

Rod went to an abandoned house that he had chosen early on his way.

Rod came to the door of this house. The door of the house showed signs of damage. Rod stretched out his hand and easily pushed the door open, and then stepped into it.

Entering the room, Rod looked inside for a while. With some light, Rod noticed that there was not much dust accumulated in the house, and the owner of the house should have disappeared recently.

After clearing out a cleaner place in the house, Rod sat down, and the vampire came to Rod beside him.

Rhode put away the death crystal from the vampire.

Since the Revenant Crystal emits death energy all the time, if Rhodes still allows the vampire to hold it, the necromancer who has a keen sense of death energy can easily find the location of this house.

At this location, Rod can just feel the death energy around the mayor’s mansion. Although vampires also release death energy, the concentration of death energy is far less obvious than that of the mayor’s mansion. Covered by its death energy, it is difficult to be discovered by others.

If the Necromancer really wants to search all the houses in the town first, and then attack the mayor’s mansion, then Rhode has nothing to do.

Rhode did not choose to meditate, but just sat and waited, putting his own perception on the mayor’s mansion.

Because of the long meditation before, Rhode’s mental state is full, and he will not feel sleepy.



Feeling the gentle death energy on the mayor’s side, Rod was not anxious, but sat in the same place and just waited so quietly.
