He turned around and stared at Ava in shock, "Is this- undead?!" ”

Then, without waiting for Ava to answer, she carefully observed the black-robed "man" again.

Just from the opening of the clothes of the black-robed "human", Xia Duo saw the white bones of Sensen, and he didn't even need to enter the state of concentration for spellcasting, to check whether there was any negative energy left on the black-robed "human", and he almost determined that this was an undead creature.

Ava had just said that the situation was a bit special, and what could be more special than an undead creature? Coupled with the words he said before entering the door, Xia Duo was even more convinced that this was the undead.

Of course, formalization is also indispensable, Xia Duo immediately entered a state of concentration for spell casting, and the skeleton in front of him was shrouded in black robes, and wisps of negative energy were slowly but always exuding from his body.

When he got closer, Xia Duo realized that the dilapidated and rotten aura he had smelled before came from this black-robed "man", and when Xia Duo got closer, he felt that the air seemed to become colder.

This is indeed an undead creature.

Now, of course, it's really, completely dead.

"Master Chardo, it's time for us to leave." At this time, Ava tactfully reminded.

"Oh, yes, yes, leave."

Xia Duo also realized that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to touch anything in the house at all, and walked quickly outside the house, just out of the house, Xia Duo's heart suddenly lightened, he had never felt that the sun in early winter would be so warm.

"It's dangerous!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but be afraid, just now in the house, he had actually been unconsciously affected by negative energy, but the subtle influence was unguardable.

If it weren't for Ava's reminder, he might have wanted to study the remains of the undead.

In that case, it will be eroded by negative energy even more severely.

……

Back in the group, Shado ordered everyone to set off at once.

As the team got closer and closer to Savile Town, Xia Duo was a little relieved, he had guessed that the outside attacker might have been found by Old Neil, but after knowing that it was undead, Xia Duo was full of doubts.

With just an ordinary person like Old Neil who runs a hotel in the Southern Side, it is difficult for Xia Duo to connect him with the undead.

This made the Assassin's motives very strange.

Xia Duo has been in Savile Town for almost a year, and he has always kept a low profile, how could someone send an undead creature to kill him?

What kind of grudge is this!

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out!

Moreover, except for a very small number of undead creatures that awaken on their own, generally speaking, there will be a master who can actually control them, and this master is generally a mage.

So the question is, Xia Duo doesn't even provoke ordinary people, how can he provoke a mage?

Think of a few formal mages who have crossed paths, who are they? Or are they head-to-head? Or was it just a passing mage who saw her upset and deliberately left only one skeleton to deal with him?

So after the skeleton failed, why didn't the person behind the skeleton jump out and continue to kill him?

There were too many doubts, and Xia Duo's mind couldn't turn for a while.

"Shado."

"Shado!"

"Huh?!" Xia Duo shouted softly, and his thoughts just now were shouted out by Dean, and he said angrily, "Dean, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Dean leaned over to Shado and whispered, "What happened to the previous assassins?" Why have you been absent-minded since you and Ava came back for a while? ”

Xia Duo was not prepared to spread the word about the discovery or even killing of the undead, so as not to provoke the unknown mage, and he planned to quietly report to the upper authorities when he returned.

In any case, being assassinated by an undead creature is also a matter of life and death, and it is safer to report it to the higher-ups.

An unknown mage, no matter what his considerations, hides in the shadows and watches him, and the only thing he can ask for help is the mage tower.

As for Dean's inquiry, Xia Duo snorted, "There are some strange traces left by the assassins, Ava asked me to go over and take a look." ”

Dean was skeptical of this answer, but he couldn't find any reason to continue asking, so he had to give up.

After being noticed by Dean that he was absent-minded, Xia Duo pretended to be indifferent. It's just that the pressure of that unknown mage made his heart feel extra heavy, which was in stark contrast to the ease when he set off.

……

On the other side, the Old Neil Inn, second floor.

Old Neil, who had been dismissed as a suspect by Xia Duo, was very respectfully receiving a middle-aged man dressed in a merchant's costume at this time, although this middle-aged man was dressed as a businessman, his every move revealed a strange demeanor.

With Old Neil's knowledge, of course, he couldn't tell that the person in front of him was deliberately imitating the arcanist in the core area of the empire, although his movements were a little pretentious, but in Old Neil's eyes, he looked extremely brilliant, far surpassing any mage in the territory.

His attitude became more and more respectful, "My lord, I wonder what you have to tell me to come here?" ”

"Huh. Did you know that it was because of your misinformation that I lost a servant? ”

When Old Neil heard this, the expression on his face was stunned for a moment, and the next second he knelt on the ground, and couldn't help explaining, "My lord, that kid is really just an apprentice, he has only joined the Mage Tower for a few months, and there are only some ordinary soldiers around him, and the elite has long been drawn out by the lord." ”

"yes, did you know that there's a high-level wanderer by his side?"

There was no joy or anger in the middle-aged mage's voice, but this made old Neil even more worried, "High-level wanderer, this- this is definitely an accident, I know that kid, he is an outsider, it is absolutely impossible to know any high-level wanderer." ”

"So, you think I'm lying?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Old Neil hurriedly shook his head, although he did have some suspicions that the middle-aged mage was lying, but he didn't dare to say it directly, when he brought this mage back from outside the day before yesterday, he had learned the power of this mage-

As soon as they raised their hands, a group of goblins rushing towards them instantly fell to the ground, turning into a horrible pile of dried corpses.

If it had been possible, he would have preferred not to have encountered this very dangerous foreign mage.

"I need to make amends."

Hearing this, Old Neil was finally relieved, took two big breaths, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I will definitely give the adult satisfactory compensation." ”

Old Neil was thinking in his heart, he didn't know how much blood would come out this time! I don't have much money at home, do you want to hire someone to borrow some?

"I want that necklace around your neck!"

The middle-aged mage's indifferent words instantly knocked Old Neil back to reality, and the "necklace" made Old Neil subconsciously touch his chest, and blurted out words that were almost questioning.

"Your Excellency, how do you know—"

But then old Neil was silent, his eyes scanning back and forth on the ground, and his heart was secretly hated, but he could not say anything about refusal.
