Rhodes didn't know what happened behind him.
After walking out of the magic guild, Rhodes began to prepare for this mission.
… …
One day later, in front of the tomb.
Through the information conveyed in the crystal ball, Rhodes accurately found the tomb mentioned in the mission.
Arriving near the tomb, Rhodes looked around and saw that there were almost all kinds of tombs around, and undead creatures were being transformed at this time.
Rhodes had no idea about the rest of the surrounding tombs. Rhodes knew that although the academy did not restrict necromancers from coming here to transform undead creatures, they could not use undead creatures that did not belong to them.
Once you take undead creatures that do not belong to you, you will most likely be punished by the academy.
Arriving at the front of the tomb, after confirming it, Rhodes walked down.
After entering the tomb, Rhodes walked out not long after. At this time, following Rhodes were a group of low-level undead creatures.
Among these undead creatures, the majority are walking corpses, with only a few skeleton soldiers.
According to the requirements of the mission, Rhodes needs to bring the undead creatures here to the front of the battlefield, but Rhodes knows that this mission is not that simple.
At this time, Rhodes was followed by a large and dilapidated carriage. Since the undead creatures travel slowly, in order to reach the battlefield early, Rhodes spent a few gold coins to rent a carriage to transport the undead creatures.
Under Rhodes' control, all the surrounding undead creatures, without exception, entered the back of the carriage.
Suddenly, Rhodes noticed the eyes that had been staring at him. Rhodes turned around and looked back, and saw a necromancer staring at him.
Through comparison in his memory, Rhodes recognized that the necromancer in front of him was the low-level apprentice who gave him the map when he first entered the City of Screams.
Through his eyes, Rhodes realized that the apprentice also recognized him. Rhodes didn't say anything else. Just as he was about to board the carriage and drive, the apprentice took the initiative to walk to the front of the carriage where Rhodes was sitting and started trying to talk to Rhodes:
"You are... the necromancer who just entered the city yesterday. You also accepted the mission of 200 gold coins, right?"
Perhaps realizing the way Rhodes looked at him, the apprentice immediately asked: "Do you still remember me?"
Rhodes did not answer, but thought for a while, and then said: "Remember, you are the guard who handed me the map at the door."
Seeing that the necromancer in front of him was willing to answer his words, the apprentice was obviously happy. He was still thinking about how to complete the current task, but then he met another companion who had taken on the same task.
Recalling the power that the person in front of him had when he entered the city, the apprentice knew that he was not just an ordinary necromancer. Since he was willing to answer the question, he might be able to join forces to complete this task.
Before the apprentice could continue to speak, Rhodes took the initiative and said: "I heard what you mean, you also accepted the task of transporting undead creatures, right?"
The apprentice nodded, and Rhodes continued: "So, are you willing to go to the mission location with me? It seems that you have not prepared a carriage to transport undead creatures in advance, right?"
After hearing this, the apprentice was delighted, but his intuition told him that things were not that simple. Since he has experienced some things within the academy, the apprentice knows that the necromancer only considers his own interests and will not help him for no reason, so he asked Rhodes:
"But... what do I need to pay? The benefits of this mission are so high, there should be many dangers on the road... "
Rhodes replied: "With one more person, any problems on the road can be solved easily. If you feel bad, just help me drive the carriage. I will follow beside the carriage."
After speaking, Rhodes looked at the apprentice in front of him, waiting for his decision.
After listening to Rhodes' explanation, even though the apprentice still had some doubts, he was relieved a lot at this time and nodded, agreeing to Rhodes' proposal.
Then, the apprentice let the undead creature beside him enter the carriage transported by Rhodes. During this process, Rhodes has been watching from the sidelines.
As all the undead creatures entered the carriage, under the control of the two people, the undead creatures did not cause chaos, but stood close together.
At this time, Rhodes rode on the centaur he originally controlled. At Rhode's signal, the apprentice drove the carriage forward slowly.
Along the way, the apprentice tried to turn around and talk to Rhodes, but when he saw that Rhodes had no intention of replying, he had to give up and concentrate on driving the carriage.
Since the carriage was crowded with a large number of undead creatures, it was difficult to increase the speed for a while, so Rhodes didn't care and continued to follow the carriage.
The route chosen by Rhodes was the main road closest to the mission target. Along the way, Rhodes did not find anything unusual. It was a main road, but at this time, there were no people coming and going. Even the Necromancer, for the sake of safety, I also deliberately avoided this road.
The apprentice driving in front had no doubts about this, as if he didn't know the danger of the road. Instead, he was very happy that he had chosen the nearest road. Through this behavior, Rhodes knew that the apprentice in front of him lacked experience in handling tasks.
Since the war is about to begin, if a powerful necromancer loses a lot of undead creatures, what he will do is to massacre the remaining necromancer apprentices, gather a large number of undead creatures in a short period of time, and then return to the battlefield again .
Therefore, even Rhodes was ready to leave at any time when he encountered a powerful enemy, but the apprentice in front of him was not alert at all.
Rhodes didn't remind him anything. Rhodes realized that this might be the reason why the apprentice chose to take on this task.
Rhodes began to think about the weirdness of the mission.
Anyone with a little bit of magic aptitude can master spiritual imprints very quickly. For necromancers, spiritual imprinting is the most basic technique, as basic as spiritualism.
At the same time, after practicing for a while, the necromancer will have a lot of understanding of spiritual marks.
For low-level undead creatures, the mental mark is easy to establish but difficult to remove. Generally speaking, as long as the mental mark is established, the necromancer will rarely take the initiative to remove the mental mark.
Since the spiritual imprint is firmly rooted in the soul fire of undead creatures, it is fine if the undead creatures die, but once the necromancer tries to take the initiative to remove it, he will directly suffer a strong backlash, and the severe pain will make the necromancer give up this idea. .
Moreover, actively removing the spiritual mark will permanently damage the necromancer's spiritual attributes.
