Rhodes looked at the mayor and said slowly, "You also know that the necromancer knows about my existence, even if you send undead creatures to attack you, you will have powerful undead creatures around you to protect you." ”

"There aren't too many undead creatures you need to deal with, and there's no way he's going to stop where he is and wait for me to make a move. In this case, even if I tried to attack, I probably wouldn't be able to do it. ”

"Therefore, I need you to defend against this necromancer outside of the mansion, and the distance between you and the mansion cannot be too close. Only if you hold back enough undead creatures will I have a chance to deal with him. ”

After listening to Rod's proposal, under the black robe, the mayor's brows furrowed, and he directly refused: "No." When I'm in the mansion, the necromancer can't directly attack me with spells, so it's a safe location. ”

"And with the defense of the mansion, my skeleton warrior only needs to defend against attacks from one direction, and can play the most effective defense, I will not leave the mansion."

Rhodes understands that the mayor is extremely reluctant to leave the mansion, in addition to the defensive advantages that the mansion can bring to the mayor, and more importantly, there is something inside the mansion that can make the mayor feel extremely at ease.

Mayor Mare apparently didn't know that Rhodes was aware of this. Rhodes never stepped inside the mansion, and when he was closest to the mansion, he only observed outside the gate.

There was no mention of this in the mayor's words, including his reluctance to leave the place before, apparently because of the internal relations of the mansion.

Although Rod did not continue to speak, the meaning was extremely obvious. The mayor's original suggestion, Rod would definitely not agree, and Rod's suggestion to lure the mayor out of the mansion would not agree either.

Both remained silent for a while, neither of them taking the lead in making another suggestion.

Even though the previous necromancer had been gone for a while, the black clouds in the sky hadn't dissipated much, still blocking the light around them.

Through the previous dialogue between the two people, they both understand each other's characteristics, and at this time, how to use this characteristic to obtain the most favorable conditional advantage for themselves is what they need to consider, which is why they need to conduct verbal testing.

Finally, the mayor of the town may have thought of something, and said to Rhodes: "Then, you and the skeleton warrior are in front of the mansion to resist his undead creatures, you don't have to risk killing him, you really can't resist it, you can retreat into the mansion and rely on magic to resist for a while, how about it?" ”

Rod shook his head, apparently not approving of the mayor's proposal.

The mayor's proposal seems to be for Rod's sake, not letting Rhodes kill the necromancer, but letting Rhodes and the vampire stay in front of the mansion, but in fact, there is a huge drawback to doing so.

Once the necromancer saw that Rhodes and the mayor were all present, he would send all the undead creatures to press, and then the mayor would retreat directly into the mansion, and Rhodes knew the anomalies in the mansion and did not dare to enter, so it became Rhodes alone in front of the mansion to face all the undead creatures.

Seeing that Rod had rejected his offer again, the mayor was a little annoyed and said to Rode, "So what are your thoughts?" If there's anything good you can do to deal with this necromancer, then speak up. ”

Rhodes replied, "I have only one request, and that is to deal with this necromancer far away from the mansion, this mansion of yours gives me a bad feeling." What's more, it's up to you to deal with this necromancer, and if you really don't want to, I won't force it, I just won't help you. ”

Hearing Rhodes emphasize once again to stay away from the mansion, the mayor's face sank.

Although Rhodes's words did not clearly state, they undoubtedly conveyed a meaning to the mayor of the town, that is, the anomaly of the mansion was discovered. Realizing this, the mayor was speechless for a while.

In the previous temptation, the mayor of the town had confirmed a lot of Rod's strength, and in addition, he also lost several skeleton warriors in order to test it, and the mayor really didn't want Rod to leave like this.

But if you really stay away from the mansion, there are many ideas that the mayor can't realize.

Comparing the strength shown by the two before, the mayor finally confirmed something, and said:

"I agree, Elliott, to fight outside of the mansion, but not too far from here."

"I can come outside the mansion, right next to the skeleton warriors, and fend off the undead creatures. But again, you'll need to go and kill the necromancer. I've seen your strength, and with your full strength, that necromancer won't last long. ”

At Rod's insistence, the mayor finally agreed to leave the mansion, although only to the periphery of the mansion, which was the location where the skeleton warriors had resisted this group of undead creatures, but for Rod, this was also a big advantage.

After confirming the mayor's location, the attacker's necromancer will not only send more undead creatures to attack, but also cast spells to cut off the mayor's retreat back to the mansion.

In contrast, if Rhodes had been hiding in the shadows and not attacking, losing the advantage of the mansion, the mayor would be in great danger.

Seeing that the mayor agreed to this request, Rhodes did not ask for anything more.

According to Rod's original idea, according to the mayor's proposal, because he needed to deal with a mage in close quarters, Rhodes could even ask the mayor in advance to provide the promised treasure.

But at this time, since the mayor had already come to the outside of the mansion, it was inevitable that he would be rejected if he made too many requests, and Rod did not continue to make these requests.

At the end of the conversation, the two of them were sure of something for each other. Since they both got the results they needed, the two didn't continue to say anything, but they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

At this time, the black clouds in the sky dissipated a lot.

The conversation didn't last long, and there was still a lot of time for both of them to remain silent or calculated. At this point, the two ended their conversation and just waited for the necromancer's next attack to arrive.

The mayor nodded to Rhodes and turned and entered the mansion. The skeleton warriors next to him also followed behind one by one, and finally all entered the mansion and closed the door of the mansion.

Seeing that the mayor of the town and his party all returned to the inside of the mansion, Rhodes didn't say anything more, and walked towards the way he came with the vampire.

At this time, although the sky was still dark, it was much stronger than before, and these black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing the original starlight, illuminating the path under Rod's feet.

Following the path he had walked during the day, Rhodes walked towards his former inn.

Along the way, Rhodes encountered no special circumstances. It wasn't long before Rhodes was in front of the inn.

The door to the inn was still ajar as it had been when Rhodes had left.

Previously, Rhodes found these black clouds in the sky when he just opened the gate, and was immediately attacked by the ghosts, so he didn't have time to close the gate, and it was still the same as when Rod left.

Rhodes entered the inn and returned to his room.

Once in the room, Rhodes found a place to sit down and began to settle his gains.

In this battle, including the undead creatures killed by the vampires, Rhodes earned a total of 920 experience points, bringing the total number of experience points to 1050.

Of these, one Wraith provides 200 XP, the Mayor Mare's Skeleton Warrior provides a total of 90 XP, and the rest comes from the Walking Dead and Ghosts.

Although a single walking corpse and ghost can not provide a lot of experience points, they can still provide an objective amount of experience points as the number increases.

This is also why, after finding out about the battle in front of the mayor's mansion, Rhodes did not choose to leave, but directly joined the fight.

"Consume 700 XP and have 350 XP remaining. Class level increased to Tier 2 Swordsman Rank 8......"

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point......"

In this battle, Rhodes only lost his own mana, and there was no loss other than that. This couldn't help but make Rhodes sigh at the convenience of spells, even if it was only a second-order spell, it made the originally difficult battle a lot easier.

In the original battle, if Rhodes did not cast the Ice Ring and did not use other spells, but simply relied on swordsmanship, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to kill the Yin Spirit, or deal with the Mayor's skeleton warriors. It's much easier with spells.

In battle, Rhodes most often uses the Ice Ring, which takes into account the effects of group damage and impact, even if it is only a second-order spell, but it also reflects the advantages of spells.

Perhaps the spells cast by Rhodes are not as effective as mage apprentices of the same level, but with Rhodes' own fighting style, they are more powerful.

Thinking of this, taking advantage of the opportunity to use meditation to restore mana, Rhodes assigned his remaining two attribute points to knowledge.

Although Rhodes doesn't have many spells at the moment, and the overall number of times he uses them is more attack spells, 20 more mana points is equivalent to an extra chance to use the Ice Ring in a battle.

In comparison, it is not as strong as it was reflected at the beginning of the low attributes, and the allocation of attributes to other basic attributes has little effect, coupled with the fact that the healing magic scrolls in the space ring are extremely sufficient, and Rhodes does not set aside attribute points to restore health.

Skill points Rhodes stayed, ready to wait until they were needed to allocate them.

While Rhodes was checking his attribute panel, the vampire also found a place, took out the Revenant Crystal, and began to absorb the energy in it.

Having learned the lesson of the last time, Rhodes asked the vampire to keep the Revenant Crystal in order to not lose it.

As for the vampire's use of the bat-transformation skill, the Revenant Crystal is like the vampire's clothes, which are intact and will not be lost due to bat-transformation.

Seeing this, Rhodes didn't bother with it, but prepared to start meditating.

Calming down and not thinking about what had happened, Rhodes went into a meditative state.

…………

There was a knock on the door, and Rod opened his eyes immediately.

There was no foreshadowing in my mind, and the Intermediate Reconnaissance Technique did not produce any anomalies, indicating that the person knocking on the door was not a threat.

In addition to this, there is also a possibility, that is, the person who knocked on the door has a level of reconnaissance skills far beyond Rhodes, completely suppressing Rhodes' perception, so that Rhodes can't feel anything.

But the likelihood of such a situation is extremely low, especially in the territory of Diya, where there are very few people who have mastered the reconnaissance technique, let alone the reconnaissance technique that has been upgraded to a higher level.

Rod was not careless, and the vampire on the side also woke up as soon as possible, and stepped forward to open the door according to Rode's instructions.

Seeing the person standing outside the door, the vampire thought for a moment and moved his body out of the way so that Rhodes could see what was going on outside the door.

Rhodes looked towards the door. The old man who had originally received Rhodes downstairs was standing at Rhodes' door at this time.

Seeing the old man, Rod didn't understand what his intention was, so he didn't hurry to speak, but waited for the old man to speak.

Sure enough, after seeing Rhodes in the rear, the old man opened his mouth, first wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again, took a deep breath, and said to Rhodes:

"I've got some food downstairs, and I can bring it up if you two need it."

After listening to this, Rhodes said, "Didn't I say that you don't need food. ”

In order to prevent anyone from messing with food, Rhodes only ate his own dry food at all times when he was outside.

This is what Rhodes has always done, even when he came to the hostel, Rhodes deliberately explained that he did not want food, and the old man obviously remembered this.

But at this time, the old man obviously came for something, and the food may just be an old man's statement.

Before the old man could speak, Rhodes realized this.

Sure enough, the old man continued to say to Rhodes: "I went to look at other locations in the town in the morning, and they were all gone......

While saying these words, the old man's body couldn't help but generate a kind of death energy, so that Rhodes, who had mastered the spiritualist technique, could easily perceive it.

Extreme fear can also generate death energy.

A person like the old man, who lives in constant fear, has a certain chance of being directly transformed into a ghost when transformed into an undead creature.

"I heard it last night, you guys fighting outside the inn. If you had protected me, you would have the power to get me out of this place......"

The old man continued to speak to Rod, but Rods didn't say anything.

Rhodes didn't want to say more, but finally said to the old man: "If you want to leave, you can leave here at any time." Didn't the town pass by before? You can leave with the caravan. ”

The old man replied, "No...... On my own, once I get away from here, there will be many dangers along the way. As for the merchants, they will know my details by asking the people in the town a little, and since I have no relatives, I will only be robbed and killed by the merchants on the way......"

"And you're different...... You're different...... If you're willing to take me out of here, I'm willing to give most of the gold I have, leaving only a little to live on......"
