Chapter 58 Mansion 2

Rhodes took the vampire in the back, followed the housekeeper in front, and headed towards the mayor's mansion.

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

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

Before coming to the mansion, the butler pushed open the door and entered with the guards on the side, while Rhode noticed the interior of the mansion. Looking at the scene in the mansion, Rhode did not choose to enter.

"Necromancer 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 said aloud.

At this time, on both sides of the passageway in the hall, along the carpet laid outside the door, there were two rows of fully-armed skeleton warriors standing face to face. 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 hold weapons 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, Rhode 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.

Seeing the battle set up by the mayor, Rhode did not walk along the carpet for the first time.

Because it took almost a day and a half on the way to come, the basic mana recovery and the improvement brought by the elementary magic amulet, at this time, Rhode's mana has completely recovered. And because Rhodes meditated at night, the maximum mana at this time has reached 70 points corresponding to knowledge.

Looking at the two rows of skeleton warriors in front of him, Rhode was not afraid that they chose to attack him during the process of entering. Due to the mastery of the spell Frozen Ring, even if the base damage of the Frost Ring 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 had a kind of fear in his heart.

Rhode noticed the back of the mayor, which was a certain position in the mansion. The location was separated by a door at this time. Although no abnormality was found for the time being, Rhode noticed something wrong through the concentration of death energy in the mansion.

Rhode knew that the mayor's trump card was obviously not the skeleton warrior in front of him. Now that the mayor has identified himself as a 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. With all his concentration, no matter which one Rhode or the mayor releases the magic first, the other party can respond instantly, it's just a matter of who comes first.

Apart from saying a few words to Rhodes at the beginning, the mayor did nothing and waited for Rhodes' response on the spot. Obviously, he didn't want to reveal his intelligence by saying more.

At this time, Rhodes was comparing the strengths of the two sides.

Through perception, Rhode 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 that he saw in front of him, but also the undead creatures of higher rank.

Rhode estimates that the mayor's rank should not exceed the blue-robed mages he once dealt with, but due to the characteristics of undead mages, most of the mayor's strength lies in undead creatures.

Relying on the advantage of the number of undead creatures, the comprehensive strength even surpassed the previous blue-robed mages.

According to Rhodes' original experience, in the territory of Diya, the mayor of such a small town is usually an ordinary apprentice with insufficient potential.

The real potential Necromancer apprentices all stay in the Necromancer Academy to perform various tasks. They can obtain various resources and information at the first time, far exceeding the average apprentice.

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 necromancer arts.

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 is a lot of free time, and they can release it by themselves. The way of death energy slightly improves the original low-level undead creatures.

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, and can only be said to be more stable.

Among the undead creatures in 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 was a normal time, the mayor would not have killed all the townspeople, but at this time, perhaps due to the news of the war, the mayor obviously had other ideas for the residents of the town.

Seeing these undead creatures in front of the mayor, and then estimating the remaining undead creatures that may exist in the mansion, Rhodes finally made a decision after weighing it in his heart.

Rhode said slowly to the mayor: "I am the necromancer Elote. I just passed this place and want to go to the city of lamentation. Is there any good way for the mayor?"

The mayor was obviously extremely cautious. Rhode knew that it was difficult to test out other information with words alone, and he could only make judgments based on what he saw at this time.

Since he has not been able to obtain further information through a simple test, Rhode does not want to directly fight the mayor under unknown circumstances.

Rhode knew that if he wanted to know more about the mayor's strength, he had to enter the mansion himself.

Once inside the mansion, the surrounding undead creatures can take the opportunity to attack, plus the need to deal with the hidden undead creatures, Rhode does not know how much chance he has.

Rhodes did not report his real name. Due to the possibility of being close to the City of Sorrows and the possible problems with intelligence, Rhodes chose to use the name of Elliot.

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