Chapter Twenty-Eight: Into the City
After tidying up, Rhodes took out a set of Elote's clothes from the spatial ring and changed into them, and took out a set of folded robes from the ring.
After putting on the robe, the wide robe covered Rod's figure, and even his face was difficult to see after wearing the hood, and the whole person was shrouded in black robes.
After finishing up, according to the guidelines on the map, Rhodes led the vampire along the river in the direction of the town.
After walking for a while, several deer appeared by the river drinking water. Seeing these deer, there was a fluctuation in Rod's spiritual imprint, and the vampire was asking for action from Rod.
Since the vampire had not recovered from the injuries he had sustained in the previous battle, at this time, the vampire could not hold back his instinct to devour flesh and blood at the sight of these creatures in front of him, but without Rod's consent, the vampire did not dare to rush forward without his consent.
Thinking that the flesh and blood of the rest of the creatures would be able to speed up the vampire's regain of strength, Rhodes agreed. The next moment, the vampire rushed straight out.
The vampires were halfway through when the deer reacted and began to flee in all directions. The vampire catches up with a deer, grabs it, and then chases it straight in the direction of the next deer.
The deer that had been caught by the vampire was still running away, but there were four deep blood marks on its body, and after a few steps, it let out a wail from the wound and collapsed to the side. But just before the vampire struck, the rest of the deer were already far away, and it was difficult for the vampire to catch up.
As the deer scattered and fled, several other deer had fled far away, but one deer was closer to Rhodes and was now fleeing into the distance.
Rhodes raised his hand and unleashed a magic arrow, which shot at the fleeing deer, hitting and piercing the deer's body, leaving only a deer's corpse lying in a pool of blood.
Seeing that they could not catch up with the other deer, the vampire stopped and began to devour the flesh of the deer on the ground.
While the vampire devoured flesh, Rhodes looked at the system log.
Deer are unranked creatures that do not gain any experience after being killed. This situation was expected by Rod, and Rods didn't care too much.
Rhodes tried, and after changing the title, he tried to use spiritism on the fallen deer, and the result was that it required 5 mana points, which was not even comparable to a magic arrow. Rod had an idea in his mind.
It didn't take long for the vampire to finish eating, and the fluctuations of the spirit imprint were a little stronger.
Before moving on, Rhodes used a spiritualist spell on the deer on the ground.
Under the influence of spiritualism, the blood on the body of the dead deer began to clot rapidly and no longer flowed. Even with the wounds from the vampire's bite, the dead deer stood up.
Since the deer itself has no rank, and there is no way to attack, even if it is awakened by spiritism, it cannot be regarded as a regular undead creature.
From the beginning, Rhodes didn't think of making the corpse deer fight as an undead creature, but had other uses.
Rod rolled over and rode directly on the deer's body, making it walk forward through the spirit imprint.
The dead undead creatures have no physical limitations, and Rhodes chooses to convert the corpses of the deer into undead creatures to ride, which can shorten the time it takes him to travel to the town.
In the same way, the other deer was transformed into an undead creature, and Rhodes had the vampire ride it as well.
Rhodes continued on the road, and because of the deer's transportation, even if the road was bumpy, his speed increased a lot.
For the rest of the journey, Rhodes didn't bother encountering other creatures. Finally, just as it was about to get dark, Rhodes saw the town not far away.
Based on his observations, Rhodes predicted that it should count as a small town. At this time, probably because it was almost night, there were many people entering the city at the city gate.
According to the map, Elliott traded in the city, whether dealing with undead creatures or selling heroes. There should be a freelance guild in the city, and trading with necromancers is not prohibited.
To avoid trouble, Rhodes took out another robe from the spatial ring and put it on for the vampire, while tearing off some black fabric to cover the vampire's face and prevent the iconic teeth from being exposed.
Rod's approach can only cover up the appearance of the vampire, but cannot hide the strong aura of undead creatures on its body. For the caster, it is still recognizable at a glance.
Rhodes slays the deer with his sword, then leads the vampires into the city.
At this time, there were still some people entering the city, and Rhodes came to the rear with the vampire, waiting for the people in the queue in front to enter first.
Before entering the city, soldiers at the gates of the city were to inspect those carrying large quantities of goods. Instead, people dressed as warriors can enter directly.
Except for the main city and large cities, other towns do not set up entrance fees, and of course, there are some lords who set up in some small towns regardless of the purpose of collecting money.
At this time, Rhodes, who entered the city, was not inspected too much, but was directly allowed to enter the city.
Compared with other dresses that either pull goods or are dressed in cloth, the black robes of Rhodes and the vampire next to him are still too eye-catching.
The veteran at the door frowned slightly after noticing Rod, and then directly let Rod in.
After Rhodes entered, the veteran glanced at the surrounding members and signaled, and the people around him quickly moved.
In the process of entering the city, Rhodes saw all this in his eyes.
Rhodes understands what they're doing. Even if the necromancer wants to enter the city, because he does not know the strength and purpose of the necromancer, he will not deal with it immediately, but will secretly send people to keep an eye on it, and it is also to prevent the necromancer from destroying the city.
Rod shook his head, something the game had only done in the first expansion.
During the game of the previous life, on the eve of the release of the second expansion, due to the necromancer's massacre of civilians to create an army, all cities except Diya banned the entry of necromancers, and there would be a special mage apprentice at the city gate to inspect them.
What Rod didn't expect was that even without inspection, the veteran at the door would be able to discover his identity based on his impressions alone.
Compared to recruits who don't know anything, veterans undoubtedly do a better job of analyzing the situation, which is why they can retire from the army instead of dying in a war.
Rhodes didn't pay much attention to it, but walked towards the city.
He didn't go far when a man dressed in cloth passed by quickly in front of Rod.
Even without the perception brought by the Scouting Technique, Rhodes could feel that although the person in front of him didn't look at him, his attention was always locked on his body.
"Temptation......"
Rod sneered.
Just as Rod was about to pass by him, the man seemed to be unsteady, and his whole body fell in the direction of Rode, and at the same time, his right hand seemed to be trying to find a balance point and stretched out towards Rode.
