Chapter 9: Assassination

…………
"You try to enter a state of meditation..."
"The degree of concentration is the lowest level to enter meditation, and the perception of successful contraction..."
"You successfully entered a state of meditation!"
"Depending on your concentration, you are currently in a state of shallow meditation."
"..."
"Meditation is over."
"According to your performance during the meditation process, your maximum mana increased by 6. The current mana is 6/6."
"Shallow meditation cannot get special feedback."
"You got the racing achievement [beginner]."
"[Beginner]: Successfully performed a meditation. The basic reward spirit +2. The meditation effect when wearing is increased by 10%."
…………
After observing the system log, Rod felt a moment of joy in his heart. In his previous life, Rod had also achieved achievements [beginner], but did not enjoy the additional rewards brought by racing.
"I remember that the achievements of the beginners in the previous life seemed to be only spirit +1, and there was no additional reward after wearing. Now not only the increased spirit has been improved, but also the meditation effect can be enhanced after wearing." Rod recalled.
Contrasting with the achievements in memory, Rhode realized again that with the blessing of racing, how high the achievements would provide. At the same time, Rhode also deeply understands how powerful he can get a lot of racing achievements, only the basic attributes.
Shaking his head, Rhode forced himself to temporarily refrain from thinking about these achievements, focusing his attention on the apprentices of the Necromancer on the ground not far away. With the help of Hawkeye, Rod looked towards the enemy.
At the forefront are a group of skeleton soldiers. The specific number of Rhodes is not detailed. There should be more than a dozen. In the middle of the team is a man in a black robe riding on a horse. The whole body is covered by a black robe. This is the standard dress of the necromancer. This person should be the manipulator of this team of undead, the apprentice of the necromancer.
The apprentice was followed by four heavily armed skeleton warriors on both sides and behind him. Behind the team is a large group of walking dead, and because of the slowest walking speed, they can only limping and following in the back. Rhode estimated that the apprentice also put this large group of walking dead at the end of the team for this reason.
Rhode observes quietly in the tree. This position is very hidden. As long as the apprentice does not believe that someone is on the tree and observes carefully, he will not find himself.
As the apprentices and his party moved closer towards the tomb, Rhode slowed his breath to reduce the possibility of any exposed location.
…………
On his way back, Ellot wondered how he would use it after returning to the Undead Spell Academy with so many gold coins.
First of all, I have to learn all the lessons that I couldn’t afford before, and what deep mysteries are mysterious, and then I will learn some powerful spells. After I have learned all these, I will become a first-class necromancer. All kinds of wars in the war, or become the lord of the same place, let them make their own choices...
As Ellot moved closer and closer to the tomb he found, he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart. Ellott didn't understand the origin of this feeling, but just knew it made him very uncomfortable.
Before approaching the tomb completely, Ellot found out, startled and angry, that his originally sealed exit was opened again. Ellott clearly remembered that he left the undead creature after sealing the exit of the tomb.
Who... Ellot had this idea in mind.
Ellot first suspected that someone had been here, but this tomb has not been discovered for so long, and it is unlikely that others will find it by luck alone.
If no one else has been here, then the biggest possibility is that the undead creatures sleeping in the tomb wake up. Ellot came to this conclusion.
Ai Luo Te felt in his mind, the undead creatures originally arranged in the channel, the spiritual imprints at this time have all disappeared, they should have been eliminated.
Without time to distress these undead creatures, Ellot thought about it for a while, and reason told him that he already had the gold coins he needed at this time. The safest way is to leave the place immediately and replace the remaining undead creatures with gold coins. Hurry back to the college.
But there was another voice in Ellot's heart, and he just left unwillingly. There is a sleeping undead creature in the tomb. According to his thoughts, it is most likely that the undead creature woke up, not that the tomb was discovered by others.
The undead creature in the tomb was already scheduled by Ellot. Ellott believes that with the help of this powerful undead creature, he can quickly stand out in the academy.
In the end, you still have to go to the depths of the tomb and see at a glance. Thinking of this, Ellott turned over and began to mobilize undead creatures.
Ellot first let all skeleton soldiers guard around to prevent possible enemies, and then let the walking corpses be scattered to the outermost observation. After arranging the skeletons and walking dead, Ellott was ready to enter the tunnel.
Another bad feeling came, and Ellott was sure what was in the passage.
Without knowing the specific conditions in the passage, Ellot let the two skeleton warriors enter the passage first to see if any enemies were lurking in the passage.
Skeleton Warriors are low-level undead creatures and cannot convey specific information. After confirming that there were no abnormalities in the passage, Ellott was ready to enter the passage to check it out.
…………
Rhodes watched the deployment of the Undead Master apprentices to the undead creatures in the tree, and he could not help but secretly say something dangerous.
Rod had thought of assassinating him in the tunnel before, but given the fact that there were too many variables in the tunnel, he gave up this idea. At this time, the necromancer's prudent approach confirmed this point. Without this tree, Rod couldn't think of any other place to hide.
Rhode saw that the Necromancer apprentice sent two skeleton warriors off the tunnel. This is undoubtedly good news for Rod. Rhode had to consider how to deal with the remaining group of undead creatures in addition to how to deal with the apprentices of the undead mage.
Once surrounded by this group of undead creatures, the undead creature's fearlessness will be maximized. With the four skeleton warriors, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out.
Fortunately, the apprentice first sent two skeleton warriors to the tomb. The remaining group of undead creatures, although very large in number, as long as they are not surrounded, take more time to end.
Rhode watched the Necromancer apprentice walking towards the channel. In order to increase the success rate of assassination, Rhode assigned the remaining free attribute points to the speed. The current speed attribute is 9.
Because of the assassination that jumped from a height, the sharp blade and the impact of gravity can cause great damage. The assassination relied not on Rod's own strength, but on Rod's hit rate.
Although it is almost impossible to miss, in case Rhode still allocates the remaining attribute points to the speed in case. In addition to increasing the speed of shots and movements, the speed attribute can also improve your reaction ability.
The apprentice of the Necromancer came to the entrance of the passage, first looked down, then stretched out a foot, ready to step into the passage.
At this time, while the apprentice's attention was all concentrated in the passage, Rhode moved.
I saw Rod leaping from a tree trunk five or six meters above the ground, holding the sword in both hands, and the sword was down. The target pointed by the blade was the apprentice of the Necromancer who stepped halfway into the tomb.
The apprentice seemed to feel something. He turned back and looked at Rhodes, who instinctively wanted to avoid this raid from the sky. But it was too late, and Rod’s sword had arrived in an instant, and there was a certain amount of consternation in the eyes of the apprentice of the Necromancer.
Rhode's sword easily penetrated the back of the Necromancer apprentice, slanting diagonally from the top to the top of the spine. Under the blessing of gravity, Rhode didn't even have much effort, only need to hold the hilt with both hands, and the sword body completely disappeared from the back of the apprentice.
The blood came out as the long sword pierced, but immediately stopped due to the contraction of the muscle. The hot blood splashed on Rhode's face, which was different from fighting in the previous games, and unlike killing the cold undead in the tomb, Rhode could feel a heat from the blood.
A...the heat of life.
