Chapter 98: Into the city

At the border of Diya, the most famous large town is the city of mourning.
Due to its geographical location, the City of Mourning is the last undead city that the Necromancer passed before going to Eli, and once became the outpost of the Necromancer attacking Eli. The place was shrouded in darkness all day long, and there was no sunlight.
At this time, several guards were busy at a short distance from the gate of the city of mourning.
Due to the spread of intelligence, a large number of necromancers gathered in the city of mourning for a while, which naturally suffered these guards at the gate of the city.
There are no restrictions on visitors to the city of mourning, and any race can enter it. The purpose of the guards staying here is naturally not to check the luggage of passing people.
At this time, a Necromancer apprentice came to the gate of the city, followed by several walking corpses behind the apprentice.
Upon seeing this, a guard greeted him directly, leading the apprentice to another direction.
Just a little further away from the city gate, there are a large number of low-level undead creatures. Whether it is the more common skeleton soldier, walking dead, or ghost, ghost, you can see it here. In addition, there are many special types of undead creatures.
The apprentice left the walking dead behind, and then returned to the gate to enter the city.
After guiding the apprentice, the guard returned to where he was at the beginning. After standing for a while, he saw no one around and found a place to sit down.
The purpose of these guards is to allow the Necromancer who is about to enter the city to keep the lower-level undead creatures here.
The practice of the city of mourning is to not allow low-level undead creatures to enter the city. The unified placement of low-level undead creatures here is also to allow the apprentices stationed here to control the undead creatures immediately after the death of the necromancer.
After sitting down, the guard sighed.
This guard has another layer of identity, an apprentice who has just joined the Black Raven Undead Spell Academy.
Soon after joining the academy, the guard can only take lower-level tasks from the academy. To guide the returning Necromancer at the gate of the city was his first task.
The guard knows that after a few days, when this task is over, he will no longer be able to take this light task, and the Academy will force himself to issue more difficult tasks to himself.
Just as the guard was thinking about countermeasures, the sound of a horseshoe rang from a distance, and a figure appeared from a distance, getting closer and closer to the city of mourning.
Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the guard stood up slowly. As the city of mourning was not allowed to be a horse on the street, the guard was ready to stop it.
During these few days of guidance, all the people who entered the city of mourning did not deliberately become a difficult guard. The smooth guidance over the past few days has made the guard still immersed in his own problems.
When the horse stopped directly in front of the guard's eyes, the guard realized this and looked up at the horseman.
At this moment, after seeing clearly the scene in front of him, the guard seemed to realize what he was doing, his pupils shrank, and a powerful shock occurred in his heart.
I saw the man in a black robe, covering the whole body in it, making it difficult to see his face. A strange bat stood on the man's shoulder, staring at the apprentice in front of him, a thirsty thirst in his eyes.
At this time, the guard also saw the mount under him, the figure of a half-man and half-horse, plus the weapon held in his hand. Even though the guard had little knowledge, he also realized that this was the centaur inside Eli. .
The guard has also seen many powerful necromancers, but they all carry a large number of undead creatures, similar to the dress of the people in front of them, and the guard has not seen much.
At this moment, the half-robed man in black robe put down the hood on his head, revealing his original face, it was Rod.
Rhode didn't make any moves because he didn't know why he was stopped, so he just looked at the guard in front of him, apparently asking the guard to explain to himself.
The guard opened his mouth because of a moment of tension, but did not say anything.
When the two fell into silence, at this time, another guard with senior apprenticeship at the city gate walked in front of Rod and said to Rod:
"Sorry, this guard doesn't understand the rules very well and has inadvertently produced some offenses, but please follow the rules in the city and leave low-level undead creatures in the gathering place outside the city."
Hearing this, Rhode did not care about the low-level apprentice in front of him, but looked at the guard who was speaking.
Seeing Rod did not reply, the guard continued: "If I read right, the centaur under you should be a low-level undead creature without self-consciousness. If you want to enter the city, please leave it in the city. outer."
At this moment, the bat standing on Rhode's shoulder seemed to feel the hostility of the guard in front of him, and gave a harsh cry to the guard. A bloodthirsty light flashed in the eyes of the bat, and it seemed that in the next second, it would pounce directly on the guard in front of it.
Rhode raised his hand gently to appease the bat, and then dismounted directly. Under the guidance of the guard, he came to the position where the rest of the people placed the undead creatures.
The original low-level apprentice remained in place, watching Rhode away, not knowing what he was thinking.
Under the control of the Spirit Mark, the Centaur walked to an empty seat, then stood still, waiting for Rhode's next order.
Rhode didn't say much, so he placed the Centaur directly here. Because he chose this Centaur just for travel, its strength is not the strongest. For the current Rhodes, even if it is placed here, it will have no effect.
Rhode knew that the act of placing low-level undead creatures outside the city was to prevent further chaos in the city.
The placement of undead creatures outside the city is also to give the low-level apprentices room for improvement. In the city of mourning, even a senior apprentice, if there are no high-level undead creatures beside him, if he wants to fight, he can only rely on the spell he has learned.
However, after accepting the task assigned by the college, the situation was different after leaving the city. In the task, it still depends on the overall strength of the Necromancer.
After placing the centaur, Rhodes returned to the initial entrance and planned to enter the city from here.
As Rod was about to enter the city of sorrow, the low-level apprentice who led Rod at the outset reached out and handed an item to Rod, saying, "This is a map of the city. I hope I can help you."
Rhode knew that although the apprentice in front of him was not strong, in other respects, he saw that this was the first time he came to the city of mourning, so he gave the map to himself.
Rhode took the map, glanced at the guard, and then walked into the city.
