"I can call you that, elotte."

At the end of his observation of rod, the mayor spoke slowly.

Rod said nothing, just looked at the mayor nodded, waiting for his next words.

"As you have seen before, I am at war with the enemy. In other words, I would also like to thank you for cutting off the enemy's retreat for me, so that the enemy's undead creatures lost a lot here. "

these

At this time, rod also opened his mouth and slowly asked the mayor, "if the mayor really thanks me, why do you want to let his skeleton warriors test me?"

Even after the battle, the dark clouds surrounding the residence still did not dissipate. After hearing rod's question, the mayor at the gate of the mansion replied:

"You know it's a trial. I just want to know your strength in this way. I personally lead the trial, of course, is much more reliable than simple observation

At this point, the mayor stopped, and then said, "although it's a little offensive, I'm the one who really has losses, right? Even if I resisted those ghosts, my skeleton warriors didn't lose a few, but to test you, my skeleton warriors lost a lot. "

The mayor's voice turned cold, and rod could hear the anger in his words.

these

However, rod did not say anything. Since the mayor intends to make a trial, he must make a good plan to lose something. Compared with the lost skeleton warrior, the strength information obtained by the mayor is more valuable.

Rod asked the mayor:

"The problem of loss should be very clear in your mind, so don't mention it. You haven't answered me. What's the purpose of the test? You just want to know my strength? Or, what are you preparing for? "

After listening to rod's words, the mayor realized that people in front of him could not be easily fooled, so he said:

"Don't you wonder why the undead came to the town to attack my house? If you didn't show up here in time, they might have broken down my mansion. "

Hearing this, rod knew that the mayor was going to give him some information and explain why the mansion was attacked. these

"Please tell me about it."

these

Therefore, rod followed the mayor's words and planned to listen to the mayor's explanation.

"The necromancer who attacked this town before was a senior apprentice in the Necromancer's Magic Academy. This senior apprentice should have come to perform the trial task."

"I used to study in the Necromancer's Magic Academy. I didn't choose to hand in some gold coins to the Academy until I got old. I came to this town and became the mayor here."

these If I have any role to play, I can only help the college cultivate apprentices. "

"The apprentice took the task from the college and came to destroy the town, and I was responsible for dealing with it. these

"I have dealt with such apprentices many times before. these

these

No more than before, in the narration of these words, the mayor took a heavy tone, perhaps to make rod believe, or just to say.

After hearing the mayor's words, rod was silent.

Through the mayor's story and previous speculation, rod has realized something.

these

"Because of this, at the beginning, I didn't let you go, but wanted to use your help to deal with the necromancer and protect the town."

"Previously, maybe I didn't make it clear that you misunderstood something, but I certainly didn't have any bad thoughts."

"To test your strength is also because I want to know your strength, so as to determine the next countermeasures."

"Through the previous battle, I also have some understanding of your strength. I am sure that if you are willing to help me, I can deal with the necromancer, and the town will not be destroyed by him."

"Of course, since there are certain risks in this kind of thing, I will not let you take the risk in vain. After killing this necromancer, I will give you a treasure as reward."

"And what do you mean, elotte? Would you like to help me deal with this necromancer? "

After these words, the mayor looked at rod and waited for rod's answer instead of saying anything.

At this time, the mayor explained the cause and effect to rod, including why he didn't give the map to rod, the reason why the necromancer came to attack, and even most importantly, he wanted rod to help him deal with the necromancer.

Rod didn't think much about what the mayor said that he would use the treasure as a reward. This was just a temporary promise of the mayor. After rod killed the necromancer, the mayor could not admit it or try to kill rod.

If rod really believed the mayor's words, he could not blame others for being cheated in the end.

After some thought, in order to confirm the previous idea, rod asked the mayor:

"You can leave on your own. According to your current strength, even if you join the war, you can get a lot of benefits. Why do you have to stay in the small town and wait for others to deal with you?"

After hearing rod's words, the mayor replied:

"Leave? No, No. If I'm the same age as you, I'll leave here immediately without you reminding me. But I don't want to leave now. I'm not interested in power and so on. I just want to stay here and study some magic with ease. "

As for what the mayor said, rod obviously can't believe that ambition will not fade with time. On the contrary, it will become more powerful. After the strength of the mayor has been improved, correspondingly, he will think of greater power.

Therefore, the reason why he doesn't want to leave here is that there is something here that he doesn't want to leave, besides the old age that the mayor said. It has more benefits than leaving.

Realizing this, rod asked the mayor:

"How many years have passed since you left the necromancer school? What do you think of the necromancer school? "

Because the mayor asked rod for help, rod was not afraid that he would not answer his own questions, even if it was a simple and meaningless answer. Therefore, rod asked the mayor about his views on the school of necromancery, in fact, he wanted to know the mayor.

The mayor replied, "the days of living in the college are just like yesterday. I can recall all the pictures at that time."

"Because of my poor talent, I had to choose a way to leave college and come here. I can't tell you exactly how many years have passed, but I'm sure it was not a short time. "

"As for the view of the college? environment

"The orthodox mage Academy was originally prepared for those nobles. I have no background, and my own talent is not good. Even if I want to become strong by the accumulation of time, the Academy will not allow it."

special

After hearing the mayor's words, rod understood something.

The mayor's words are full of praise for the undead Magic Academy. Even though he has left the Academy for a long time, he still misses the college life before.

Rod realized that if he didn't have enough talent and needed to make up for it through the accumulation of time, the mayor could grow into a strong necromancer in the college. Because of this, rod had a deep vigilance.

these

When rod asked the mayor how long he had been here, he wanted to judge the strength of the mayor.

these

In addition, there are still some questions in rod's mind that have not been answered, including how the mayor knew that the necromancer in the college had received the trial task, and how the mayor had dealt with the necromancer who had come to destroy the village several times before.

The answer to this question determines the strength of the mayor himself, but rod understands that if he asks the mayor so directly, the mayor will not answer himself, or he can only judge by himself through other methods.

"I remember you said that a business group was coming to this town recently," rod said

"Yes, a friend of mine is the head of a small business group in the freelance chamber of Commerce. Not long ago, he was going to the city of mourning. I asked him to deliver some supplies to me by the way."

"It's reasonable to say that the business group will come to the town in the next few days. With the help of the business group, I can deal with the necromancer. But to be on the safe side, I still need to ask you to help me deal with the necromancer in front of me when the business group doesn't come. "

"In order to reassure you, I can give you the map you need first."

With that, the mayor took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to the skeleton warrior. The skeleton warrior was ready to come forward and handed it to rod.

On the side, the vampire immediately stepped forward, took the scroll from the hand of the skeleton warrior, then came to rod's side and handed it to rod.

Rod opened the scroll in his hand. Due to the dim light around him, even if there was a lot of fire light on the ground around him, he could only light up the nearby ground, so he could not see the map clearly.

Rod put the map in his pocket and didn't go on talking.

No matter whether you answer the mayor's request or not, this map will never be returned. Although you don't know whether it's true or false, you just need to confirm it a little.

Rod asked the mayor, "well, how does the mayor plan to deal with this necromancer? In this attack, his undead creatures have lost most of them. Maybe he has chosen to leave now."

The mayor replied: "no, this time he just came to test. He didn't take all the undead with him. He also separated some undead to search the townspeople and immediately withdrew when he realized the danger."

these So I need your help to kill him. "

After listening to the mayor's words, rod asked, "well, after successfully killing this necromancer, how should the valuable items on his body and his own body be distributed?"

Just listening to rod's words, people think that rod really agreed to the mayor's request.

"I only want his magic book. Besides, the rest of his items, including this treasure that can make black clouds, belong to you. What do you say? "

Rod nodded.

No matter rod or the mayor of the town, after testing each other's strength, they did not doubt whether they could successfully kill the apprentice of the necromancer, and directly gave the distribution method of the spoils.

"This necromancer will not attack again tonight. But his next attack won't be too long. After all, the trial training task doesn't last long for him. He also needs to go back before the war begins. "

"He has been on guard against you. When he attacks next time, you don't need to fight for a while. I will let all the skeleton warriors hold him down. When the war is stalemate, you can take the opportunity to kill him..."

Hearing this, rod directly interrupted the mayor and said, "no, if you want to do this, it's better for me to fight against the undead with you."

The mayor's words may sound like the most correct way. Let the skeleton warrior rely on the battle array to resist these undead creatures. Then rod tries to kill the necromancer, but this method is extremely unfavorable to rod.

In the previous battle, the necromancer only released two spells. His real casting ability is unknown to rod.

Because he didn't know the Necromancer's casting ability, rod couldn't take advantage of the terrain, so his success rate was extremely low.

Even if rod succeeds in killing the necromancer, the mayor in the mansion can take the opportunity to control the surrounding undead creatures and deal with rod in turn. As a result, rod would not choose to do so.

The mayor also understood rod's meaning, and instead of saying more, he motioned rod to say what he thought.
