  Chapter 58 Mansion II

Rhodes with the vampire at the back, followed the steward at the front, towards the town The long mansion advances.

As he passed the courtyard in front of the mansion, Rhodes noticed that the lawns on both sides of the path he was walking were now covered with a lot of withered and yellow weeds. Among the weeds stood several human-shaped statues. Due to the poor quality of the statues, Rhodes couldn't make out their faces.

Continuing along the path, Rhodes noticed the stables on the side, and not far behind the stables was the mayor's mansion. The mansion looks extremely spacious, with two floors inside.

Before arriving at the mansion, Steward pushed open the door and entered with the guards on the side, while Rhodes noticed the interior of the mansion. Looking at the scene inside the mansion, Rhodes did not choose to enter.

"The undead mage from afar, I am Kerr, the mayor of the town, and I welcome you on behalf of the residents of the entire town."

At the end of the hall of the mansion, A man dressed in black robe said aloud.

At this time, on both sides of the hall passage, along the carpets laid outside the door, two rows of fully armed skeleton warriors stood facing each other. The distance between the skeleton warriors is a little farther, just in front of the mayor to the door.

"Bang, bang, bang."

After the mayor's voice fell, the two rows of skeleton warriors began to use weapons held in one hand. Hit the shield in the other hand. The strikes were uniform and made a strong sound. After hitting three times in a row, the group of skeleton warriors instantly stopped their movements and stopped in place.

Even without his introduction, Rhodes also understood that the black robed man in front of him was the target he wanted to test, the mayor of this small town.

The mayor of the town wore a black robe, but did not put on the hood above his head. Rhodes looked at him and saw his slightly old face, obviously not too young.

Rhodes didn't immediately walk in along the carpet, seeing the mayor's formation.

Due to spending almost a day and a half on the way, the basic mana regeneration plus the boost brought by the Elementary Magic Amulet, Rhodes' mana was fully restored at this point. And because Rhodes meditates at night, the maximum magic power value at this time has reached 70 points corresponding to knowledge.

Looking at the two rows of skeleton warriors in front of them, Rhodes wasn't afraid that they chose to attack him as they entered. Due to the mastery of Spell Frost, even though the base damage of Frost is not enough to kill these skeleton warriors, it can knock them back slightly.

Even so, Rhodes still did not choose to enter the mansion, but a kind of fear in the heart.

Rhodes notices the Mayor's back, somewhere in the mansion. That location was being separated by a door at this time. Although no abnormality was found for the time being, Rhodes sensed something was wrong based on the concentration of death energy in the mansion and the strong warning from his perception.

Rhodes knew that the mayor's cards were obviously not the skeleton warriors in front of him. Now that the mayor has identified himself as mage, and dares to put these skeleton warriors here, he is obviously not worried about their loss. Instead, he can use these skeleton warriors to consume his mana.

Rhodes looked at the mayor. Between concentrated attention completely, no matter which one of Rhodes and the mayor releases the magic first, the other can respond instantly, it's just a matter of who goes first.

The mayor didn't do anything except say a few words to Rhodes at first, waiting for Rhodes' response in place, obviously he didn't want to reveal his intelligence by saying more.

At this point, Rhodes is comparing the strengths of the two sides.

Through perception, Rhodes clearly knew that there was a large amount of death energy gathered in the mansion, and the undead creatures that existed were obviously not only the skeleton warriors before him, but also the undead creatures of higher rank.

Rhodes estimates that the mayor's rank should not exceed the blue robe mage he once dealt with, but due to the characteristics of the undead mage, most of the mayor's strength lies in the undead creatures, relying on the number of undead creatures The advantages, the comprehensive strength even surpasses the previous blue robe mage.

According to Rhodes' original experience, in the territory of Dia, the mayor of such a small town is generally an ordinary apprentice with insufficient potential. After being eliminated from the undead spell Academy, he came down to serve.

The real potential undead mage apprentices all stay in the undead spell Academy to perform various tasks. They can obtain various resources immediately, and the information they can obtain is far beyond that of ordinary apprentices.

Apprentices with insufficient potential, if they have enough gold coins, can apply to be the mayor of such a small town after they have learned the basic undead spell.

Although there is no way to quickly increase the strength in this way, since no one is bothered, the apprentice who becomes the mayor can gradually increase the strength by accumulating undead creatures, and because there is no need to fight with other apprentices, there are a large number of apprentices. In the spare time, the original low-level undead creatures can be slightly improved by releasing the energy of death on their own.

Although this method can get a lot of low-level undead creatures, but due to the slow growth rate, the undead creatures accumulated over the years are also faster than those who have attacked other villages several times. Said to be more stable.

Among the undead creatures inside the mansion, including the skeleton warriors in front of them, many of these undead creatures that the mayor can gather are from ordinary townspeople in the town.

If it is a normal time, the mayor will not kill all the townspeople, but at this time, it may be due to the news of the war. For the residents of the town, the mayor obviously has other options. idea.

Seeing these undead creatures in the hall, as well as other undead creatures that may exist in the mansion, plus the warning brought by perception, Rhodes in the heart finally made a decision after weighing it. .

Rhodes said slowly to the mayor: "I'm the undead mage Elliot. I just passed this place and want to go to the City of Sorrows. Is there a good way for the mayor?"

The mayor was obviously extremely cautious, and Rhodes could only judge from what he saw at this time.

With no further information available through simple probing, Rhodes does not want to go to war directly with the mayor if the situation is unclear.

Rhodes knew that if he wanted to fully understand the strength of the mayor, he had to enter the mansion himself.

Once inside the mansion, the surrounding undead creatures can take advantage of the opportunity to attack, plus the need to deal with the hidden undead creatures, Rhodes doesn't know how many chances he has.

Rhodes did not report his real name. Due to the possible proximity to the City of Sorrows and the possible problems with intelligence, Rhodes chose to use Elliot's name.

Looking at the mayor not far away, Rhodes was waiting for his answer.
