Chapter 59 Dark Sky Curtain

Staring at Rod for a while, the mayor replied: “If you are not so anxious, a business group will come to the town in a few days, and you can follow them to the City of Sorrows.”

Rod stood outside the mansion. After listening to the mayor’s words, he seemed to have thought of something, so he said, “There seems to be no freelance chamber of commerce in the town.”

The mayor replied: “There are not many people in the town, but they still have to live. Many basic materials need to be transported by business groups.”

The mayor’s speech was not fast, and he did not become impatient because of being tempted by a foreign necromancer. On the contrary, he used a soothing tone. When answering Rod’s questions, he kept staring at Rod’s eyes.

After listening to the mayor’s explanation, Rhode became more sure of what he was thinking, and then asked the mayor: “I want to go immediately. Does the mayor have a map around here?”

The mayor replied: “You should understand the value of maps. If you need someone to lead the way, you may be able to find experienced people in the town.”

Rod did not choose to refute. After being silent for a while, Rod said to the mayor: “Then, there will be no trouble to the mayor.”

After hearing this, the mayor reminded Rod: “The only hostel in the town is located at the back of the town, before the forest behind. If you plan to stay in the town and wait for the arrival of the business group, you can Rest there for a few days.”

Although Rod had noticed something, he didn’t say anything. He just nodded to the mayor, and then said nothing.

The butler walked out of the mansion, turned and closed the door, leading Rod to walk back to the path where he had come.

Unlike before entering the mansion, when he returned from the small road, Rod had been thinking about the mayor’s words repeatedly. Although he did not fully grasp the mayor’s strength, he also had a general understanding.

The mayor was extremely cautious in his words and did not reveal any key information, but due to the inequity of intelligence, Rhode still saw a lot of clues only through the dialogue between the two.

Through several answers from the mayor, Rod realized that the mayor seemed to wish he could stay in the town. Even if he expressed his intention to get the map and leave immediately, the mayor refused to give it to himself on the grounds that the map was extremely valuable.

If it is normal, even if the map price is high, the mayor will not refuse it all at once. Instead, he will put forward various conditions to Rhode and ask Rhode to pay a certain price to get the map.

But at this time, the mayor did not give Rhodes any chance and directly refused to provide the map. At the end, the mayor seemed to kindly tell Rod the location of the hostel, but in fact it was more hinting that Rod would stay in the town.

Since there is no freelance chamber of commerce in the town, it is destined that the town’s commerce will be difficult to develop, and not many business groups will choose to come to this town.



The weak business group would be afraid of encountering danger in the town and would not choose to go here. And the powerful business group, if it is to transport basic materials, it will not appreciate the benefits obtained in the town, and will not choose to come to this town.

As for what the mayor said, there will be a business group coming in a few days, and Rod can only think that either this is just a simple rhetoric from the mayor, or the business group has agreed with the mayor in advance.

If this trade group really has an agreement with the mayor in advance, it will arrive in a few days or so, and the ultimate goal of the trade group is the city of sorrow…Rod feels a little coincidental, but an idea occupies Rod’s mind firmly, and Rod also has to believe it.

The original Silver Seal Merchant Group had probably made a special trip to this small town before heading to the Sorrowful City.

As for the agreement between the business leader Youser and the mayor here, Rhodes could not simply infer. But if this guess is correct, the mayor wants to stay here, because he wants to get benefits after killing himself with the help of the Silver Seal Merchant Group.

The corpse of the Necromancer, even if it is only apprentice level, if handled properly, it can also create a third-order ghost.

It’s just a pity that although the mayor’s idea was good, he obviously didn’t know that Rod first joined the Silver Seal Merchant Group, and relying on his own strength, almost completely disintegrated the entire Merchant Group.

If the mayor wants to hold Lord Rod, waiting for the arrival of the Silver Seal Merchant Group, it can only show that the strength of the mayor is worse than Rod’s original idea, or that the strength of the mayor has certain limitations.

Before entering the mansion, Rhode did not take back the death crystal from the vampire, but asked the vampire to put the death crystal in his pocket, and the mayor could also feel the death energy emanating from the vampire.

Rod could feel the palpitating breath inside the mayor’s mansion. Whether it’s the perceptual warning brought by the reconnaissance technique or the instinctive reaction of Rhodes, they all believe that there are powerful undead creatures in the mansion.

But if the mayor’s strength is really strong, he won’t let himself leave easily.

Rod concluded that this breath should come from creatures that are dedicated to defense. Although this kind of creature is powerful, it has many limitations and usually cannot leave a certain range.

In the words, although the mayor did not try to introduce himself into the mansion, he only arranged two rows of skeleton warriors to stand in the hall, just to prevent the abnormality from being discovered.

If Rhodes sees the skeleton warrior and directly enters the mansion to attack, he will obviously be attacked by this defensive creature. Fortunately, Rod had seen this kind of creature in his previous life, but only through subtle feelings, he discovered the abnormality and chose to leave temporarily.

Following the steward in front, Rhodes and the vampire came to the place where they entered. The butler originally wanted to continue to lead the way and bring Rod to the hostel that the mayor said, but Rod waved his hand to stop him, and instead walked towards the back of the town alone.

There, it is the location of the hostel as the mayor said.

After probing this time, although it was only a few words, Rod almost completely probed the mayor’s situation.

Rod couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. After these situations were understood by him, they were originally just separate sentences, as if something connected them all together. The original doubts disappeared completely, and these answers seemed to appear in his own mind.

At this point, if Rhodes can open the attribute panel, he will see that the Hero Specialty column in the second row, although it still displays: Unawakened (13), is flashing violently at this time.

Rhode obviously didn’t know about this, but while observing the surrounding situation, he went to the hotel mentioned by the mayor.

Rohde obviously didn’t intend to leave like this. Since most of the mayor’s intelligence has been tested by himself, he only needs to wait for the mayor to reveal his flaws.

If the mayor’s hole card is the defensive creature in the mansion, then Rod only needs to wait for the chance of the mayor to kill the residents outside the mansion before he can fight him.

Except for unknown types of defensive creatures, the other low-level undead creatures were not too threatening to Rhode, except for some troubles.

The mayor obviously didn’t know that the merchant group he had originally expected had disappeared. If he knew that there would be no reinforcements, the mayor was obviously more anxious than Rod.

Seeing that the residents in the town had not yet fleeed, Rod knew that although the death energy in the town was strong, the creation of undead creatures had not yet been known to all residents, at least not the entire town was aware of this.

Residents in the town will be frightened by the disappearance of other people, but they will not all flee here.

Rod knew that even if it was to create undead creatures, the mayor was doing it in secret, and he didn’t arrest all the residents in the first place.

Rod was not surprised by the mayor’s actions. Even if the mayor did not take action against these townspeople, because it was close to the border and waiting for the war to begin, there would be other necromancers coming here and converting all the people here into Undead creatures.

According to Rod’s perception, the death energy concentration contained in the mayor’s mansion is not much different from the previous vampire’s sleeping tomb. The mayor can completely kill all these residents, and then accumulate them in the mansion for rapid transformation.

Because Rodriguez still didn’t know why the mayor did not choose such a way to increase his strength, Rodriguez did not directly act on the residents here. Instead, he chose to go to the hostel here and wait for the night to come.

If the mayor chooses to capture the residents of the town at night and transform them, Rhodes can kill the undead creatures sent by the mayor, weaken the mayor’s strength, and confine the mayor to the mansion.

When the mayor’s strength drops to a certain level, Rhodes can attack by force even if there are guardian creatures in the mansion.

Before Lord came to a building, it was several times taller than the rest of the surrounding buildings, but it was still much smaller than the mayor’s mansion.

When he came to the door of the hostel in the town, Rod walked in.

At this moment, a sleepy old man was sitting on the counter in the hostel, and he didn’t realize the arrival of Lord for a while.

Rod looked inside the hotel. The first floor was supposed to be a restaurant. At this time, it was empty. There were only a few tables and chairs. Some dust fell on them. Obviously the owner of the hotel didn’t have any intentions to clean it.

Looking at the scale of the hostel and the rest of the scene, Rod realized that in addition to being used as a hostel, it was also used as a tavern for the residents of the town to entertain here. It should be one of the few places where the residents of the town can move around. .

Rod went to the counter on the first floor and tapped twice.

The old man who had been dozing off suddenly woke up and looked at Rod in front of him, revealing some suspicious expressions, apparently because there was no one here for a long time, and suddenly someone came to the door at this time.

“I want to rest here for a few nights.” Before the old man could react, Rod first stated his purpose.

Hearing these words, the old man confirmed Lord’s intentions and said, “I’m sorry…no one has been here for a long time. I didn’t expect to meet a guest today. For two rooms, four silver coins a day. Every morning and Some food will be provided in the evening.”

Rod nodded, took out a gold coin and placed it on the table, and said, “One room, no food.”

The old man took out a key from under the counter and gave it to Rod, while holding the gold coin in his hand, without saying much.

Rod took the key and walked to the room on the second floor.Seeing Rod’s back on the second floor, the old man opened his mouth as if he wanted to remind Rod, but in the end he didn’t say anything, put the gold coin in his pocket and sat back in his position again.

Rod walked up to the second floor, came to his room, found a place to sit down, and began to meditate.


Due to the need to fight and the increase in spell ability, Rhode did not choose to use deep meditation that consumes mana. Instead, he wanted to regain some of his spirits through shallow meditation, so that his mental state would be slightly improved, and he waited. With the arrival of the evening.

During Rhode’s meditation process, the vampire didn’t need to rest much, just stood aside and held the death crystal in his hand.

…………

At night, as if he had noticed something, Rod ended the meditation that lasted for a long time and opened his eyes. On the side, feeling Lord’s change, the vampire looked at Lord.

Rod quickly got up, took the vampire, and walked out of his room.

It was dark all around, and Rod quickly walked downstairs. At this time, due to the darkening of the sky, the original old man had obviously rested, and there was no one downstairs.

Rod walked to the door of the hostel, took the peg off the door, and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Rod realized that something was wrong. When he was in the forest, no matter how tall the trees, no matter how dark the surrounding environment, there will always be stars penetrating the woods and shining on the ground. At this time, he came outside the door. Lord, but found that there is very little light around.

Even in the dense forest of Eli, the light around Rhodes was brighter than it is now.

Rod looked up at the sky. At this time, there was no light in the sky, but a layer of black clouds. It is this layer of black clouds that obscures all the stars in the sky, making Rhode unable to see the distant scene clearly.

“The Dark Sky…”

Seeing this dark cloud, Rod seemed to remember something.

This black cloud is like the dark sky that Rhodes once saw in a large city in Diya. Because these cities are enveloped by a dark sky, sunlight cannot be seen all day long, and it is difficult to distinguish between day and night in the city.

At this time, this black cloud undoubtedly reminded Rod of the dark sky that he had seen before. But Rod did not know why a large number of black clouds similar to the dark sky were produced here. According to the overall level of this town, it was impossible to make a dark sky in any case.

Rod tried to perceive the dark sky in the sky, and felt a strong magical energy. If it is not released by the wizard, it can only be made with magic props.

If the mayor had the strength to create a dark sky covering the entire town, he would not let him leave when Lord went to test, but would directly kill him.

At this moment, before he could think about it, Rod suddenly noticed the danger and dodged to the side. A creature appeared behind Rhodes, and Rhodes just avoided its attack.

On the side, the vampire saw Rhode being attacked, and immediately greeted him, attacking with the creature.

Even though the surrounding light was dim, Rod still carefully looked in the direction of the creature through Hawkeye. The tattered cloth robe, the skull-like face, floated and dodged freely in the air when attacking, it was the third-order creature, the ghost.
