MTL - Heroes of the Invincible Undead-Chapter 65 negotiation
Rhode looked at the mayor and said slowly: "You also know that the necromancer knew of my existence. Even if you send undead creatures to attack you, there will be powerful undead creatures around to protect you."
"The number of undead creatures you need to deal with will not be too large, and he will not be able to stop and wait for my shot. In this case, even if I want to attack, I will probably not succeed."
"Therefore, I need you to defend this Necromancer from outside the mansion. The distance from the mansion cannot be too close. Only if you drag enough undead creatures, I will have the opportunity to deal with him."
After hearing Rod’s proposal, under the black robe, the mayor’s brow furrowed and refused: "No. While in the mansion, the Necromancer cannot directly use spells to attack me. This position is safe."
"And with the defense of the mansion, my Skeletal Warrior only needs to resist an attack from one direction, and it can exert the maximum effect on the defense. I will not leave the mansion."
Rhode understands that the mayor is extremely reluctant to leave the mansion. In addition to the defensive advantage the mansion can give the mayor, what is more important is what is inside the mansion, which can make the mayor extremely at ease.
The mayor apparently did not know that Rod was aware of this. Rhode never stepped inside the mansion, and when he was closest to the mansion, he only observed outside the gate.
There was no mention of this in the mayor’s words, including his unwillingness to leave here, apparently because of the relationship within the mansion.
Although Rhode did not continue to speak, the meaning was obvious. The mayor's original proposal, Rhode certainly would not agree, and Rhode's proposal to lead the mayor out of the mansion, the mayor will also not agree.
Both remained silent for a while, and no one took the lead to make additional suggestions.
Even if the previous Necromancer had been away for some time, these black clouds in the sky did not dissipate much, still blocking the surrounding light.
Through the previous dialogue between two people, each of them understands each other’s characteristics. At this time, how to use this characteristic to obtain the most advantageous condition for them is what they need to consider, which is why they need to be tested in words. .
Finally, the mayor may have thought of something, and said to Rod: "Then, you and the Skeleton Warrior together with him in front of the mansion to resist his undead creatures, you don't have to take the risk to kill him, you can't resist it, You can also retreat inside the mansion and use magic to resist for a while, how?"
Rhode shook his head, apparently not approving the mayor's proposal.
The mayor's proposal seems to be for Rod's consideration, instead of letting Rod to kill the Necromancer, but let Rod and the vampire stay in front of the mansion, but in fact there is a great drawback.
Once the necromancer saw that both Rod and the mayor appeared, he would send all the undead creatures to press on. Then the mayor directly withdrew into the mansion, and Rhode knew of the anomaly in the mansion and dared not enter, it became Rhode faced all undead creatures in front of the mansion alone.
Seeing that Rod had rejected his proposal again, the mayor was annoyed and said to Rod: "So what are your thoughts? If you have any good ways to deal with this necromancer, then you say it ."
Rhode replied: "I only have one request, that is, to deal with this Necromancer away from the mansion. Your mansion gives me a bad feeling. Besides, you have to deal with this Necromancer, If you are really unwilling, I will not force it, but I will not help you."
Hearing Rhode's emphasis on being away from the mansion again, the mayor's face sank.
Although there is no clear explanation in Rhode's words, he undoubtedly expressed a meaning to the mayor, that is, he discovered the abnormality of the mansion. Realizing this, the mayor lost his words for a while.
In the previous temptation, the mayor had confirmed many of Rod's strengths. In addition to the loss of several skeleton warriors for the temptation, the mayor really did not want Rod to leave.
But if you really stay away from the mansion, the mayor has many ideas that cannot be realized.
Comparing the strength of the previous two again, the mayor finally confirmed what he said:
"I agree, Ellot, you can fight outside the mansion, but you can't go too far."
"I can come outside the mansion, right next to the skeleton warrior, to resist those undead creatures. But again, you need to go and kill that necromancer. I have seen your strength, and with your full efforts, that A necromancer won’t last long."
With Lord's insistence, the mayor finally agreed to leave the mansion. Although it only came to the outer side of the mansion, which was the position where the original skeleton warrior resisted this group of undead creatures, it was not a small one for Rod Advantage.
After confirming the position of the mayor, the attacking necromancer will not only send more undead creatures to attack, but also cast spells to cut off the retreat of the mayor to the mansion.
In contrast, if Rhode keeps hiding in the dark and does not attack, losing the advantage of the mansion, the mayor will be in great danger.
Seeing that the mayor agreed to this request, Rhode did not continue to ask for anything.
According to Rhode's original idea, according to the mayor's proposal, due to the need to deal with a mage in close proximity, Rhode may even ask the mayor to provide the promised treasure in advance.
But at this time, because the mayor had already come to the outside of the mansion and made too many requests, it would inevitably be rejected, and Rhode did not continue to make these requests.
At the end of the conversation, the two of them determined something between them. Since they both got the results they needed, the two didn't continue to say anything, but they didn't know what they were thinking about.
At this time, the black clouds in the sky dissipated a lot.
The conversation did not last long, and there was still a lot of time. Both of them remained silent or were calculating. At this point, the two ended the conversation, just waiting for the next attack of the Necromancer.
The mayor nodded to Rhodes and turned into the mansion. The Skeleton Warriors next to him also followed one by one in the rear, and finally all entered the mansion, closing the door of the mansion.
Seeing that the mayor's side had all returned to the inside of the mansion, Rhode said nothing more, and took the vampire toward the way he came.
At this time, although the sky was still dim, it was much stronger than before, and these black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, exposing the original starlight, illuminating the road at the foot of Rhodes.
Along the road in the day, Rhode walked towards the previous hostel.
Along the way, Rod did not encounter any special circumstances. It didn't take long for Rhode to reach the hostel.
The door of the hostel was the same as when Rhode left, and was half-open at this time.
Earlier, when Rod opened the gate, he discovered these black clouds in the sky, and was immediately attacked by the ghost, so there was no time to close the gate. At this time, it was still the same as when Rod was walking.
Rhodes entered the hostel and returned to his room from the beginning.
Coming to the room, Rod found a place to sit down and began to settle his gains.
In this battle, including the undead creatures killed by vampires, Rod got a total of 920 experience points, and the total experience value reached 1050 points.
Among these experience values, a ghost provides 200 experience points, the mayor's skeleton warrior provides a total of 90 experience points, and the other experience values are all from the walking dead and ghosts.
Although a single zombie and ghost can provide few experience points, but with the increase of the number, they can still provide objective experience points.
That is why, after discovering the battle in front of the mayor’s mansion, Rhode chose not to leave, but joined the battle directly.
"Consumer experience value 700, remaining experience value 350. Professional level increased to level 2 swordsman level 8..."
"Get free attribute point 1, get skill point 1..."
In this battle, Rhode only lost his mana, but there was no other loss. This made Rhode lament the convenience of the spell. Even the second-order spell made the originally difficult battle easier.
In the original battle, if Rhode did not cast the Frostbite of Ice and did not use other spells, but simply rely on swordsmanship to kill the ghost or deal with the mayor's skeleton warrior, it is undoubtedly very difficult. Using spells is much easier.
In the battle, the most commonly used by Rhodes is the Frost Magic Ring. The Frost Magic Ring takes into account the effects of group damage and impact. Even if it is only a second-order spell, it also reflects the advantages of the spell.
Perhaps the spells displayed by Rohdeshi are not as effective as the master apprentices of the same rank, but with Rohde’s own fighting style, they are more powerful.
Thinking of this, while taking advantage of the opportunity to use meditation to restore mana, Rhode assigned his remaining two attribute points to knowledge.
Although there are not many types of Rhodes' current spells, the more frequently used attack spells are, but the additional 20 mana is equivalent to one more chance to use the Frost Magic Ring in a battle.
In contrast, unlike the initial low-attribute manifestation, the allocation of attributes to other basic attributes has little effect. In addition, the current healing magic scroll in the space ring is very sufficient, and Rhode has not set aside attribute points. Used to restore health.
The skill point Rhode stayed, ready to allocate when needed.
During this time when Rhode checked his property panel, the vampire also found a place, took out the soul crystal and began to absorb the energy in it.
Drawing on the lessons of the last time, Rhode asked the vampire to take care of the crystals of the soul, and did not lose the crystal.
As for the vampire when using the batification skills, the soul crystal is like the clothes on the vampire. They are intact and will not be lost due to batification.
Upon seeing this, Rhode did not care about it, but prepared to start meditation.
Regaining his mood and not thinking about what happened before, Rhode entered a state of meditation.
…………
After a knock on the door, Rod opened his eyes for the first time.
There were no predictions in the mind. Intermediate reconnaissance did not produce any anomalies, indicating that there was no threat from the knockers outside the door.
In addition to this, there is a possibility that the knocker has a level of reconnaissance far superior to Rod, completely suppressing Rod's perception, so that Rod can't feel anything.
But the possibility of this situation is extremely low, especially in the territory of Diya, few people have mastered the reconnaissance technique, let alone the increased level of reconnaissance technique.
Rhode didn't care, and the vampire on the side woke up as soon as possible, following Rod's instructions, and stepped forward to open the door.
Seeing the person standing outside the door, the vampire thought about it and let his body go so that Rod could see the situation outside the door.
Rod looked towards the door. The old man who had received Rhodes downstairs was standing at the entrance of Rhodes.
Seeing the old man, Rod didn't understand what he meant, so he didn't rush to speak, but waited for the old man to speak.
Sure enough, after seeing Rod in the back, the old man opened his mouth, first he wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again, took a deep breath, and said to Rod:
"I prepared some food downstairs, and if the two need it, I can bring it up."
After listening, Rhode said, "Did I not say that I don't need food."
In order to prevent anyone from making hands and feet in food, Rhode only eats his own dry food at any time outside.
This is the usual practice of Rod. Even when he came to the hostel, Rod also confessed that he did not want food. The old man obviously remembered this.
But at this time, the old man obviously came for something, and the food may just be a saying of the old man.
Before the old man spoke, Rhode realized this.
As expected, the old man continued to say to Rod: "I looked at other places in the town in the morning and they were all gone..."
At the same time as saying these words, the old man's body can't stop producing a kind of death energy outward, so that Rhodes who masters the soul-taking technique can easily perceive it.
Extreme fear can also cause death energy.
People like the old who continue to live in fear, when converted into undead creatures, have a certain chance to be directly converted into ghosts.
"I heard it last night. You are fighting outside the hostel. If you protect me, you must be able to take me away from this place..."
The old man continued to speak to Rod, but Rod said nothing.
Rhodes didn't want to say much, but finally said to the old man: "If you want to leave, you can leave here at any time. Hasn't there been a business group in the town before? You can follow the business group and leave."
The old man replied: "No... I am alone. Once away from here, I will encounter a lot of dangers on the way. And if the business group, they will know my details by asking the people in the town a little, because I don’t have Any relatives will only be robbed by the businessmen on the road..."
"And you are different... You are different... If you are willing to take me out of here, I am willing to pay most of the gold coins I have, leaving only a little to maintain my life..."
