Chapter 56: Small town

Along the selected path, Rhodes led the vampire all the way.
On the road, except for the sound of footsteps on the ground and the surrounding wind, there is no sound.
Originally in the territory of Erie, Rod was also advancing with the vampire, but there was still a little sound around him. Whether it was the chirping of birds or insects, or the noise made by biological activities, there was silence all around.
Rhode was not in a hurry, but just moved forward. Since there are no large creatures around, even Rhode cannot find creatures to travel.
Fortunately, along this road, Rhode found the way forward, without worrying about getting lost.
…………
This is a quiet town.
The town is not far from the border with Diya. Due to the long distance, the dark sky that shrouded the sky of the city of mourning all day long has disappeared without a trace. Instead, it is a continuous layer of clouds. It seems that in Diya, there are few times when you can see the sun. .
The number of people in the town is not large, and most of them are elderly people.
For some reason, the young and middle-aged people in the town chose to escape from this place early, and went to the city of mourning not far away. Especially after hearing that the Undead Spell Academy is imposing a large number of apprentices, everyone dreams of being able to join the academy, learn the post-surgery in the academy and become a powerful necromancer.
The successive departures of the staff made the already empty town seem more and more silent.
In the town, an old man is basking in the sun idly. Judging from the sadness on his face, his mood was not calm at this time.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes turned to the street not far away. At this time, two black-robed people were walking towards themselves on the street.
As if thinking of something, the old man showed a terrified expression, but he didn't dare to make any movements, just watched the black robe walked to himself.
A man in black robe in front also found this, and put down the hood on his head to reveal his original face, it was Rod.
It turned out that along the road, Rhodes and the vampires finally entered the town.
When he first walked into the town, Rhode noticed the anomaly. Due to his master spirits, in Rhode's perception, the town was full of death energy. The range of this energy of death is so great that it encloses the entire town.
Rhode understood that something should have happened inside the town, but he was just guessing what happened, and he was not sure about it.
At this moment, seeing the expression of the old man in front of him, Rod obviously decided what.
Rhode speculates that the lords here predicted that the war was about to start, and began to make the residents of the town into undead creatures. Afterwards, due to the arrival of the war, even if you did not choose to join the war, you can exchange the undead creatures for a large number of gold coins.
Judging from the energy of death shrouded in the town, the lord of the town has been transforming undead creatures for some time, and Rhode has some ideas about this.
At the same time, Rhode also realized that it had taken some time to follow the business group, plus he had walked in the forest for almost a day and a half. The news of the war is no longer a secret. As long as it is someone close to the border area, go to the Thieves Guild to collect information a little, and you can judge the war.
Because of this, many people began to have movements.
Rhode realizes that his progress has been a bit slow. If he can't get enough experience points in the early stage of the war and waits for the high-level creatures inside Eli to have a shot, there will not be such a good opportunity.
When he came to this town, Rhodes originally wanted to quickly find someone to inquire and find a way to go to the city of mourning, but after confirming some circumstances, Rhode had a new idea.
Without looking at the old man for the first time, after putting down his hood, Rhode looked around the town, as if confirming something, and finally looked at the old man.
Rhode asked the old man: "Where is the interior hall in the town? Or, where is the mayor's mansion?"
The old man swallowed and raised his hand tremblingly, extended his finger, and pointed to a tall building in the town.
Rod nodded at him, and then walked in the direction of the old man.
Just after Rhode left, the old man stayed where he was without any action.
The old man recalled the young face under the hood, and he could not help but feel a shock. At first sight, the man in black robe just did not even go to the grandson of the city of mourning, but this kind of power in him, The old man has also seen the mayor.
Although in the previous conversation, Rhode only asked a question to the old man, but the experience brought by the years made the old man discover abnormalities from Rhode's attitude.
Reminiscent of what has happened in the town recently, the old man fell into deep fear for a while and wanted to return to the house to pack things and escape, but because of his frail age, where can he escape even if he leaves here?
Fear dissipated and replaced by a deep despair.
…………
Rhode walked towards the position pointed by the old man, and observed it as he moved forward. The town is large in size and the number of houses is acceptable, but from the feedback from reconnaissance, Rhode knows that many houses have been abandoned for a long time.
The actual number of people in the entire town is smaller than Rod originally thought.
Moving along the road, Rhodes came to a mansion. Along the way, this mansion is the largest building in the town.
At this time, the guard at the door of the mansion saw Rhode coming to the front of the mansion, and was stunned for a moment.
The bodyguard apparently did not expect that someone would stand directly at the door of the mansion, preparing to speak out, but noticed that Rhodes and the vampire were dressed together.
The guard seemed to remember something, swallowed what he was about to say, and opened the main entrance of the mansion directly. Then he did not say that he was leading the way, but ran directly into the mansion.
Seeing that the guard opened the main entrance of the mansion, Rhode didn't do anything, but just stood at the door and waited.
Rhode knew that the guard had previously seen himself as a necromancer and turned to the mayor. At this time, Rod was waiting for the mayor's response.
Originally, after entering the town, Rhode noticed the anomaly in the town. After obtaining some information through reconnaissance, Rhode changed his original plan, intending to come to the mansion for a trial to see how the mayor would respond to himself.
In the process of coping with the temptation, if the mayor handles it carelessly, there will be some flaws.
If the mayor's strength is weak, Rhode can find an opportunity to kill it and harvest the remaining undead creatures.
