Following the chosen path, Rhodes led the vampire along the way.

There was no sound on the road except for the sound of footsteps on the ground and the wind around them.

Originally, in the territory of Erie, Rhodes also advanced with the vampires in this way, but there was still some sound around him, whether it was the chirping of birds and insects, or the noise of biological activity, and there was silence all around.

Rhodes wasn't in a hurry, he just moved on. Since there weren't any large creatures around, even Rhodes couldn't find a creature to get around.

Fortunately, along this path, Rhodes has found a way forward and does not have to worry about getting lost.

…………

It's a quiet town.

The town is located not far from the Diya border. Due to the distance, the dark canopy that shrouded the sky of the City of Sorrows all day long had disappeared without a trace, and in its place were continuous stratus clouds, which seemed to be rare to see sunlight in the territory of Dia.

There weren't many people in the town, and most of them were elderly people.

For some reason, the young adults of the town have long chosen to flee this place and go to the nearby City of Sorrow to break through. Especially after hearing that the Necromancer Academy is recruiting a large number of apprentices, everyone fantasizes about being able to join the academy and become a powerful necromancer after learning the spell in the academy.

The departure of personnel one after another made the already empty town seem more and more silent.

In the town, an old man is basking in the sun with nothing to do. Judging from the sadness on his face, his mood was not calm at this time.

Suddenly, the old man's eyes looked at the street not far away. At this time, two black-robed men were walking towards him on the street.

As if thinking of something, the old man showed an extremely frightened expression, but he didn't dare to make any movement on his body, just watched the black-robed man walk in front of him.

A black-robed man in front of him also noticed this, and lowered the hood on his head, revealing his original face, which was Rod.

It turns out that following the road all the way, Rhodes and the vampires finally enter the town.

As soon as he walked into the town, Rhodes noticed something unusual. Due to his mastery of spiritualism, in Rhodes' perception, the interior of the town is filled with death energy. The scope of this death energy is so great that it envelops the entire town.

Rhodes understood that something must have happened inside the town, but he was only guessing what was going on, and he couldn't be sure.

At this time, seeing the expression of the old man in front of him, Rod was obviously sure of something.

Rhodes speculated that the lords of the area, anticipating the imminent start of war, began crafting the town's inhabitants into undead creatures. Later, due to the arrival of the war, even if you don't choose to join the war, you can exchange undead creatures for a large amount of gold.

Judging from the death energy shrouded in the town, the lord of the town has been transforming undead creatures for a period of time, and Rhodes has some ideas about this.

At the same time, Rhodes also realized that it had taken some time to follow the caravan forward, plus it had taken nearly a day and a half to walk in the forest. The news of the war is no longer a secret, as long as the people in the border area go to the thieves' guild to collect information, they can judge the occurrence of the war.

Because of this, many people are starting to move.

Rhodes realized that his progress was already a little slow, and if he couldn't get enough experience points in the early stages of the war, he wouldn't have such a good chance when the high-level creatures inside Eri made a move.

Coming to this town, Rhodes originally wanted to quickly find someone to inquire and find a way to get to the City of Sorrow, but after confirming some information, Rod had a new idea.

Without looking at the old man in front of him for the first time, after putting down his hood, Rhodes looked around the town, as if to confirm something, and finally looked at the old man.

Rhodes turned to the old man and asked, "Where is the Interior Office in the town?" Or rather, where is the mayor's mansion? ”

The old man swallowed, raised his hand tremblingly, and stretched out his finger to point towards a tall building in the town.

Rod nodded at him, and walked in the direction the old man pointed.

Just after Rhodes left, the old man stayed where he was, and he didn't make any movement for a while.

The old man thought back to the young face under the hood, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, just looking at it, the black-robed man just now was not even as big as the grandson who went to the City of Sorrow himself, but this kind of power on his body, the old man had also seen it in the mayor's body.

Although in the previous conversation, Rod only asked the old man a question, but the experience brought by the years made the old man find an abnormality in Rode's demeanor.

Thinking of the recent events in the town, the old man fell into a deep fear for a while, and wanted to go back to the house to pack up his things and escape, but due to his old age and frailty, even if he left here, where could he flee to?

Fear dissipated and was replaced by a deep sense of despair.

…………

Rhodes walked towards the position pointed by the old man, observing as he went. The town is a large town and has a decent number of houses, but from the feedback from the Scouting Technique, Rhodes knows that many of the houses have been abandoned for a long time.

The actual number of people in the whole town was smaller than Rhodes had originally thought.

Walking down the road, Rhodes came to a mansion. Along the way, the mansion is considered the largest building in the town.

At this time, the guards at the gate of the mansion were obviously stunned when they saw Rhodes coming to the front of the mansion.

The guard obviously didn't expect that someone would stand directly at the door of the mansion, and was about to scold, but noticed that Rhodes was dressed as a vampire.

As if remembering something, the guard swallowed the words he was about to say, and instead opened the main entrance of the mansion directly, and then did not say that he would lead the way for Rhodes, but ran directly towards the mansion.

Seeing the guards open the main entrance of the mansion, Rhodes didn't make any moves, but just stood at the door and waited.

Rhodes knew that the guards had seen that they were necromancers and turned to the mayor to report to him. At this point, Rhodes is waiting for the mayor's response.

Originally, after entering the town, Rhodes noticed the abnormality in the town. After gaining some information through Scouting, Rhodes changed his plans and planned to come to the mansion to test how the mayor would deal with him.

In the process of dealing with temptation, if the mayor is not careful, some flaws will be exposed.

If the Mayor is weak, Rhodes can find an opportunity to kill him and harvest the rest of the undead creatures.
