  Chapter 99 Entering the City

On the border of Dia, the most famous large town is the City of Sorrows .

Due to its geographical location, the City of Sorrows is the last city of the undead that the undead mage passes through before going to Eli, and it once became an outpost for the undead mage to attack Eli. This place is shrouded in the Dark Sky Curtain all day long, with no sunlight.

At this time, not far from the entrance of the City of Sorrows city gate, several guards were constantly busy.

Due to the spread of information, a large number of undead mage gathered towards the City of Sorrows for a while, which naturally hurt the guards at the city gate.

For visitors to the City of Sorrows, there are no restrictions in the city, and any race can enter it. The purpose of the guards staying here is naturally not to check the luggage of passing people.

At this time, an undead mage apprentice came to the entrance of the city gate, and there were several walking corpses behind the apprentice.

Seeing this, a guard directly greeted him and led the apprentice to another direction.

Just a little far from the city gate entrance, there are a large number of low-level undead creatures. Whether it is the more common skeleton soldiers, walking corpses, or ghosts and ghosts, you can see them here. Apart from this , there are many special kinds of undead creatures.

The apprentice left the walking corpse behind him here, then returned to the city gate and entered the city.

After instructing the apprentice, the guard returned to the position at first. After standing for a while, seeing no one around, he found a place to sit down.

The purpose of these guards is to let the undead mage who are about to enter the city leave the low-level undead creatures under them here.

The practice of the City of Sorrows is to not allow low-level undead creatures to enter the city. The low-level undead creatures are uniformly placed here, so that after the death of the undead mage, the apprentices stationed here can immediately control the undead creatures.

After sitting down, the guard sighed.

This guard has another identity, an apprentice who has just joined the Dark Raven Spell Academy.

Since joining the Academy so soon, guards can only take on lower-level tasks from the Academy. Going to the city gate to guide the returning undead mage is his first task.

The guard knows that after a few days, when this mission is over, he will no longer be able to accept such an easy mission, and the Academy will force him to issue a more difficult mission to himself.

Just as the guards were thinking about countermeasures, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, and a silhouette appeared from a distance, getting closer and closer to the City of Sorrows.

Hearing the sound of hooves, the guard slowly stood up. Since the City of Sorrows does not allow horses on the street, the guards are ready to stop him.

During these few days of guidance, all those who entered the City of Sorrows did not deliberately embarrass the guards in front of them. The smooth guidance in the past few days made the guard still immersed in his own problems.

When the horse stopped directly in front of the guard, the guard realized this, lifted the head, looked towards the person on the horse.

At this time, after seeing the scene in front of him, the guard seemed to realize something, pupil suddenly shrank, and at the same time a strong shock occurred in his heart.

I saw the man sitting in a black robe, shrouding his entire body in it, making it difficult to see his face clearly. A strange bat stood on the man's shoulder, staring at the apprentice in front of him, with a bloodthirsty desire in his eyes.

At this time, the guard also saw the mount under him, the body of a half-man, half-horse, and the weapon in his hand. It's the centaur inside Eli.

The guards have also seen a lot of powerful undead mage, but they all carry a large number of undead creatures, similar to the dress of the person in front of them, and the guards have not seen much.

At this time, the black robed man on the centaur lowered the hood on his head, revealing his original face, which was Rhodes.

Rhodes didn't do anything because he didn't know why he was stopped. He just looked at the guard in front of him, obviously asking the guard to explain to him.

The guard opened his mouth in a moment of nervousness, but said nothing.

Just as the two fell into silence, another guard at the entrance of the city gate with a senior apprentice level walked up to Rhodes and said to Rhodes:

"Sorry, this guard doesn't know the rules very well, and caused some offenses unintentionally, but please follow the rules in the city and keep the low-level undead creatures in the gathering place outside the city."

Hearing this In other words, Rhodes did not care about the low-level apprentice in front of him, but looked towards the guard who spoke.

Seeing Rhodes did not reply, the guard continued: "If I read it right, the centaur under you should be a low-level undead creature without self-awareness. If you want to enter the city, Please leave it outside the city."

At this time, the bat standing on Rhodes' shoulders seemed to sense the hostility of the guard in front of him, and made a harsh chirping at the guard. Bloodthirsty rays of light flickered in the bat's eyes, and it seemed that in the next second, it would rush directly to the guard in front of him.

Rhodes raised his hand and waved twice to appease the bat. Then he dismounted directly, and under the guidance of the guard, he came to the position where the rest of the people placed the undead creatures.

And the original low-level apprentice remained in place, watching Rhodes go away, not knowing what he was thinking.

Under the control of the spiritual imprint, the centaur walked to a vacant spot and then stood still, waiting for Rhodes' next command.

Rhodes didn't say much, and placed the centaur directly here. Since this centaur was chosen only for traveling, its strength was not the strongest. For the current Rhodes, even putting it here would have no effect.

Rhodes knew that this placement of low-level undead creatures outside the city was to prevent further chaos within the city.

The undead creatures are placed outside the city, and at the same time, it is also for the low-level apprentices to have room for improvement. Inside the City of Sorrows, even a senior apprentice, if there are no high-level undead creatures beside him, if he wants to fight, he can only rely on the spell he has learned.

However, after accepting the mission issued by the Academy and leaving the city, the situation is different. In the task, it still depends on the overall strength of the undead mage.

After placing the centaurs, Rhodes returned to the entrance at first, where he planned to enter the city.

When Rhodes was about to enter the City of Sorrows, the low-level apprentice who first guided Rhodes extended the hand, handed an item to Rhodes, and said: "This is the map of the city, I hope I can help your Excellency."

Rhodes knew that the apprentice in front of him, although not strong, saw from other aspects that he was coming to the City of Sorrows for the first time, so he Give yourself the map.

Rhodes took the map, glanced at the guard, and walked into the city.
