Chapter 58: Mansion II

Rhode followed the housekeeper in the front with the vampire in the back, and moved toward the mayor's mansion.
When passing the courtyard in front of the mansion, Rhode noticed that on both sides of the path that he was traveling at that time, it should have been the location of the lawn, and now it is covered with a lot of yellow weeds. Several humanoid statues stood among the weeds. Due to the poor texture of the statues, Rhode could not recognize their faces.
Moving on along the path, Rhode noticed the stable on the side, and not far behind the stable was the mansion where the mayor lived. The mansion is extremely large, with two floors inside.
When he came to the mansion, the housekeeper pushed the gate open and entered with the guards on the side, while Rhode noticed the inside of the mansion. Looking at the scene in the mansion, Rod had no choice to enter.
"The Necromancer from afar, I am Kerr, the mayor of the town, and welcome you on behalf of the residents of the entire town."
At the end of the hall of the mansion, a man dressed in black robes said aloud.
At this time, on both sides of the hallway, along the carpet paved to the door, stood two rows of heavily armed skeleton warriors. The distance between the skeleton warriors is slightly longer, just extending from the mayor to the door.
"Bang, bang, bang."
After the mayor's voice fell, the two rows of skeleton warriors began to hold the weapon with one hand. Hit the shield in the other hand. The striking movements were uniform and made a strong noise. After hitting three times in a row, the group of skeleton warriors instantly stopped their hand movements and stopped in place.
Even without his introduction, Rod also understood that the man in black robe in front of him was exactly the target he wanted to test, the mayor of this small town.
The mayor of the town wore a black robe, but did not put on the hood above his head. Rhode looked at him and saw his slightly old face, apparently not old.
Seeing the mayor's posture, Rod did not walk in along the carpet for the first time.
Because it took almost a day and a half on the way to come, the basic mana recovery plus the improvement brought by the elementary magic amulet, at this time, Rod mana has been restored to full. And because Rod was meditating at night, the maximum mana at this time had reached 70 points corresponding to knowledge.
Looking at the two rows of skeleton warriors in front of him, Rhode was not afraid that they chose to attack themselves during the entry. Since he mastered the magic circle of ice, even if the basic damage of the ice circle is not enough to kill these skeleton warriors, they can be slightly repelled.
Even so, Rhode still did not choose to enter the mansion, but had a fear in his heart.
Rhode noticed the mayor's rear, a location in the mansion. At that time, the location was separated by a door. Although no anomalies were found for the time being, Rhode noticed that it was wrong through the intensity of the death energy in the mansion and the strong warning from the perception.
Rhode knew that the mayor's card was obviously not the skeleton warrior in front of him. Now that the mayor has identified himself as a mage, he still dares to put these skeleton warriors here. Obviously, he does not worry about their losses. Instead, he can use these skeleton warriors to consume his mana.
Rhode looked at the mayor. Intently, no matter who releases the magic first, Rhode and the mayor, the other party can respond instantly, but it is a matter of succession.
The mayor said nothing except to say a few words to Rod at the beginning. He waited for Rod's response on the spot and apparently did not want to expose his intelligence by saying more.
At this time, Rod is comparing the strength of the two sides.
Through perception, Rhode clearly knows that there is a lot of death energy in the mansion. The existence of undead creatures is obviously more than the skeleton warriors seen in front of him, and there are higher-order undead creatures.
Rhode estimated that the rank of the mayor should not exceed the blue robe mage he had dealt with, but due to the characteristics of the necromancer, most of the strength of the mayor is on the undead creatures, relying on the advantage of the number of undead creatures, the comprehensive strength even Beyond the previous blue robe mage.
According to Rhode's original experience, in Diya territory, the mayor of this small town is generally an ordinary apprentice with insufficient potential. After being eliminated from the Undead Spell Academy, he will serve as the apprentice.
The apprentices of the real necromancers who have potential have all stayed in the Necromancer Academy to perform various tasks. They can get all kinds of resources and intelligence at the first time, far exceeding the average apprentice.
Apprentices with insufficient potential, if they have enough gold coins, can apply to come to this town as the mayor after learning the basic necromantic method.
Although there is no way to increase the strength quickly in this way, because no one is disturbing, the apprentice who becomes the mayor can gradually increase the strength by accumulating undead creatures, and because there is no need to fight with other apprentices, there is a lot of free time that can be released by itself. The way of death energy will slightly improve the original low-level undead creatures.
Although this way can get a lot of low-level undead creatures, due to the slow rise, the undead creatures accumulated over the years are faster than not attacking other villages a few times, it can only be said to be more stable.
Many of the undead creatures inside the mansion, including the skeleton warriors in front of them, and the undead creatures that the mayor can gather, are mostly from ordinary town residents in the town.
If it is normal time, the mayor will not kill all the townspeople, but at this time, it may be due to the news of the war. For the residents of the town, the mayor obviously has other ideas.
Seeing these undead creatures in the hall, as well as other undead creatures that may exist in the mansion, plus the warnings brought by perception, Rod finally weighed in his heart and finally made a decision.
Rhode said slowly to the mayor: "I am the necromancer Ellot, but I just passed by here and want to go to the city of mourning. Is there any good way for the mayor?"
The mayor was obviously extremely cautious, and Rhode could only judge from the situation he saw at this time.
Because he was unable to obtain further information through simple temptations, Rod did not want to fight the mayor directly without knowing the situation.
Rhode knew that if he wanted to fully understand the strength of the mayor, he could only enter the mansion by himself.
Once inside the mansion, these surrounding undead creatures can take advantage of the opportunity to attack, plus the need to deal with the hidden undead creatures, Rod does not know how much chance he has.
Rod did not report his real name. Due to the possibility of approaching the city of sorrow and the possible problems in intelligence, Rod chose to use Ellot's name.
Looking at the mayor not far away, Rod was waiting for his answer.
