Chapter 98
On the border of Dia, the most famous large town is the City of Sorrows. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā
Due to its geographical location, the City of Lamentation was the last city of the undead that the necromancer passed through before going to Eli, and once became the outpost for the necromancer to attack Eli. This place is shrouded in darkness all day long, with no sunlight.
At this time, not far from the gate of the City of Lamentation, several guards were constantly busy.
Due to the spread of information, a large number of necromancers gathered towards the City of Screaming for a while, which naturally hurt the guards at the gate of the city.
For visitors to the City of Screaming, there are no restrictions in the city, 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 city gate, and there were several walking corpses behind the apprentice.
Upon seeing this, a guard directly greeted him, leading the apprentice to another direction.
Just a little far from the city gate, a large number of low-level undead creatures gathered. Whether it is the more common skeleton soldiers, walking corpses, or ghosts and ghosts, you can see them here. In addition, there are many special kinds of undead creatures.
The apprentice left the walking corpse behind him here, then returned to the city gate and entered the city.
After guiding the apprentice, the guard returned to the position where he had been at the beginning. After standing for a while, seeing no one around, he found a place and sat down.
The purpose of these guards is to let the necromancers who are about to enter the city leave the low-level undead creatures under them here.
The practice of the City of Screaming is to not allow low-level undead creatures to enter the city. The low-level undead creatures are uniformly placed here, so that after the death of the necromancer, the apprentices stationed here can control the undead creatures for the first time.
After sitting down, the guard sighed.
This guard has another identity, that is, an apprentice who has just joined the Black Crow Necromancer Academy.
Since joining the academy not long ago, the guards could only take relatively low-level tasks from the academy. Going to the city gate to guide the returning necromancer was his first task.
The guard knew that after a few days, when this mission was over, he would no longer be able to accept such an easy mission, and the academy would force him to issue a more difficult mission to him.
Just as the guard was thinking about countermeasures,
The sound of hooves sounded from a distance, and a figure appeared from a distance, getting closer and closer to the City of Screaming.
Hearing the sound of hooves, the guard stood up slowly. Since no horses are allowed in the street in the City of Screaming, the guards are ready to stop him.
During these few days of guidance, all those who entered the City of Screaming did not deliberately embarrass the guards in front of them. The smooth guidance in the past few days made the guard still immersed in his own problems.
When the horse stopped directly in front of the guard, the guard realized this, raised his head and looked at the person on the horse.
At this time, after seeing the scene in front of him, the guard seemed to realize something, his pupils shrank, and at the same time a strong shock occurred in his heart.
I saw the man in a black robe, shrouding his entire body in it, making it difficult to see his face clearly. A strange bat stood on the man's shoulder, staring at the apprentice in front of him, with a bloodthirsty desire in his eyes.
At this time, the guard also saw the mount under him, the body of a half-man, half-horse, and the weapon in his hand. Even if the guard did not know much, he also realized that this was the centaur inside Eli. .
The guards have also seen many powerful necromancers, but they all carry a large number of undead creatures, similar to the dress of the person in front of them, and the guards have not seen much.
At this moment, the black-robed man on the centaur lowered the hood on his head, revealing his original face, it was Rhodes.
Because Rhodes didn't know why he was stopped, he didn't do anything, just looked at the guard in front of him, obviously asking the guard to explain to him.
The guard opened his mouth due to nervousness, but didn't say anything.
Just when the two fell into silence, at this time, another guard at the gate of the city with a senior apprentice level walked in front of Rhodes and said to Rhodes:
"Sorry, this guard doesn't know the rules very well, and caused some offenses unintentionally, but please follow the rules in the city and keep the low-level undead creatures in the gathering place outside the city."
Hearing this sentence, Rhodes ignored the low-level apprentice in front of him, but looked at the guard who was talking.
Seeing that Rhode did not reply, the guard continued: "If I read correctly, the centaur under you should be a low-level undead creature without self-awareness. If you want to enter the city, please leave it in the city. outside."
At this time, the bat standing on Rhodes' shoulders seemed to sense the hostility of the guard in front of him, and made a harsh chirping at the guard. A bloodthirsty light flashed in the bat's eyes, and it seemed that in the next second, it would directly pounce on the guard in front of him.
Rhodes raised his hand and waved twice to appease the bat, and then he 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 go away, not knowing what he was thinking.
Under the control of the mental imprint, the centaur walked to a vacant seat, and then stood still, waiting for Rhodes' next order.
Rhodes didn't say much, and placed the centaur directly here. Since this centaur was chosen only for travel, its strength was not the strongest. For the current Rhodes, even placing him here will not have any effect.
Rhodes knew that this act of placing low-level undead creatures outside the city was to prevent further chaos in the city.
The undead creatures are placed outside the city, and at the same time, there is room for improvement for low-level apprentices. In the City of Screaming, even a senior apprentice, if there is no high-level undead creature beside him, if he wants to fight, he can only rely on the spells he has learned.
However, after accepting the mission issued by the academy and leaving the city, the situation is different. In the task, it still depends on the overall strength of the Necromancer.
After placing the centaur, Rhodes returned to the original entrance, intending to enter the city from here.
When Rhodes was about to enter the City of Screaming, the low-level apprentice who guided Rhodes at the beginning stretched out his hand, handed an item to Rhodes, and said, "This is the map in the city, I hope it can help your Excellency."
Rhode knew that although the apprentice in front of him was not strong, from other aspects, he saw that he was coming to the City of Screaming for the first time, so he gave him the map.
Rhodes took the map, glanced at the guard, and then walked into the city.
