Chapter 57 Mansion 1

Between necromancers, it is rare to join forces.

During the battle, if a Necromancer kills another Necromancer first, then he can directly control all the low-level undead creatures controlled by the dead Necromancer, and the middle and high-level undead creatures need to be subdued again.

Therefore, the relationship between necromancers is generally hostile. Even if the war starts, the necromancers are mostly fighting separately, collecting intelligence alone, and acting alone after receiving tasks. On the battlefield, there are countless things that necromancers frame each other.

Even if a necromancer actively asks to join forces, the rest of the necromancers will not believe it. Instead, they will be suspicious and promise on the surface. When the time is right, they will still frame each other, and they will not make any difference because they agree to join forces.

After all, the necromancers from the academy are driven by interests, and they will act according to what they do to obtain the greatest benefit. Compared with them, everything else is of little importance to them.

Basically, all the Necromancers in Diane are waiting for the war. No matter who they are fighting against, all Necromancers who want to profit will join the war.

Because of this, under the frantic attack of the Necromancer, not long after the war started, the entire border of Eli fell. However, due to the lack of a unified command for the necromancer, coupled with the fierce internal struggle, Eli's high-level creatures were directly defeated after they were shot.

After a war, although a large number of Necromancers will die, there are also many Necromancers who stand out from among the Necromancers through their gains in the war.

Rhode knew that if he did not appear at this time, according to the concentration of death energy permeating the town, before the war started, the town would be destroyed first, and all the townspeople would be transformed into undead creatures.

At this time, Rhodes, who was standing outside the mansion, seemed to notice something and looked inside the mansion.

In Rhode's sight, the original guard came out of the mansion, and beside him was a man dressed as a housekeeper, who respectfully invited Rhode into the mansion.

Upon seeing this, Rhode didn't say much, and followed the housekeeper directly into the mansion from behind.

Before the mage masters the second-order magic [Eye of Perspective], there is no way to instantly know the strength of the enemy.

In many cases, regarding the strength of the enemy, it is necessary to collect intelligence by oneself, whether through purchase or through reconnaissance. If you choose to observe by yourself, it is difficult to know exactly the strength of the other party before the official fight, and you can only judge by yourself based on the situation shown by the other party.

After the mayor learned that the two foreign necromancers came here, he made his own response and chose to invite Rhodes into the mansion.

The mayor of Rhodes could not refuse such a visit. If the mayor chooses to directly refuse the visit of the foreign necromancer and lock Rhodes outside the mansion, it will be a manifestation of fear.

There are not many words to say between the necromancers, and they will not show any mercy when they find that the strength of the other party is not as good as their own.

Therefore, the mayor chose to invite Rhodes in. This way of retreating forward returned the fear of the unknown to Rhodes. Instead, Rhodes needs to consider whether there is any danger inside the mansion, and whether the mayor will ambush himself in it.

However, Rhodes made up his mind to come to test, and naturally he would not hesitate at this time, and directly followed the housekeeper into it.

While walking with the housekeeper, while thinking about the mayor's posture of inviting him in, Rhode knew that the mayor should not be so easy to deal with. This time, the temptation may not achieve the desired effect.

Rhodes stayed in the town for a very short time, and the observation of the town was only through his own perspective, without collecting specific information. Even so, Rhodes also saw the bonus of the observation effect brought by the intermediate reconnaissance technique. A lot of stuff came out.

While passing through the whole town,

Rhodes made a special observation. Due to the small size of the town and the sparse population, there is no freelance chamber of commerce in the town, not even a thieves guild.

In the small town, the number of professionals is even more pitiful. From Rhodes entering the town to now, the only professionals I have seen are the guards at the entrance of the mayor's mansion and the butler who leads the way.

Rhode focused on observing their posture when walking and seeing their own reaction. The housekeeper who was leading the way in front was fine. Years of experience allowed him to move forward without any abnormality, as if he was just leading the way for an ordinary person, but the guard was completely different.

No matter whether it was the guard who saw his reaction at first, or the trembling body at this time, Rhodes had a panoramic view.

Rhodes knew that if the guard had undergone sufficient training and had some combat experience, such behavior would not have occurred. The current appearance of the guard reveals the fact that he is a low-level professional, far inferior to the previous business group guard.

Combining all these observations, Rhodes can roughly know which level of the mayor's strength is.

At this time, there is not much time before the war begins. In order to obtain enough gains in the war, in addition to knowing the direction of the war, basic strength is also necessary. If the basic strength is not enough, many opportunities that could be seized will be missed in vain.

An apprentice-level necromancer, plus a lot of undead creatures, transformed the experience points, and for Rhodes at this time, it was enough to raise a character level. After gaining a preliminary understanding of the mayor's strength, Rhodes planned to come to test and look for opportunities at the same time.

In order to be cautious, Rhodes still chose to test first, instead of directly killing the two people in front of him and breaking into the mansion.

Since Rhode took the initiative to test the mayor, whether the mayor is willing or not, there will always be flaws in the test. On the other hand, Rhodes needs to find the best shot opportunity.

In the process of testing, since the mayor is a relatively passive party, without understanding Rhodes' strength and intentions, in order to ensure his own safety, the mayor will not rashly attack before Rhodes reveals his flaws.

In case the strength of the mayor completely exceeded Rhodes' expectations, Rhodes could only let the vampire forcibly hold it for a while and take the opportunity to escape.

After all, there is no 100% certainty of victory in every battle. In the process of battle, anyone may be overturned by a magic scroll with an absolute advantage. Before the battle, although a series of preparations can improve the probability of victory, the most important thing is to look at the performance in the battle.

For Rhodes, as long as the probability of winning the battle is more than half, he will choose to shoot.
