Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 145 Night Visit
After the meal, Finko went back to his room to comfort his sister Finch. Wang Yue also returned to her room with the remaining dried meat. She had just taken two bites when she heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Fink?"

He stuffed the remaining dried meat into his mouth, chewed it, opened the door and saw that it was the innkeeper.

"Mr. William, someone is waiting for you downstairs."

"wait for me?"

Wang Yue remembered that someone had invited him to be a guest, and the person waiting for him should be the subordinate of the man with golden hair and mustache.

However, as an honest "pigeon", he decided to continue sleeping in the room.

"Then tell him I'm not in the room. I went out hunting at night."

"Mr. William, you'd better not lie to him. The person who came to pick you up is the mayor's subordinate."

"Mr. Mayor?"

Wang Yue rummaged through the package and took out the letter of recommendation that Yamon had given him.

The innkeeper watched Wang Yue raise the envelope above her head and look at it through the light for a long time with her head tilted.

"Lord William, what are you doing?"

"I suspect this letter has been tagged with a location device, oh no, magic."

This is the orcs' territory, a place where human guards won't come to patrol.

If Wang Yue's location could be known, it must be that an orc was the one who informed him behind the scenes.

"You look scared of the mayor. Is he powerful?"

"The mayor is different from other humans. He accepted us. As long as we don't break the rules, we are free here."

"You do look quite free."

Wang Yue no longer made things difficult for the hotel owner, as he must have his own difficulties since he came to her to beg her.

He just used the mayor's invitation as an excuse. If Louis questioned him the next day, Wang Yue would use the mayor as a shield.

"Let's go, let me see how the mayor invites me."

Wang Yue followed the innkeeper and hurried downstairs. Downstairs, the noisy orcs quieted down and ate the meat and wine in front of them silently, not daring to make any sound.

Outside the inn, the one who greeted Wang Yue was not the soldier he had seen during the day, but a wizard wearing a green cloak and a deer head.

[Ross's Guard: Mayor Ross's wizard guard, specializing in destructive magic]

【Level: 20】

They were accompanied by emerald-green inferior demons with green flames burning in their hair.

[Emerald Fire Imp: A variant of the Dark Imp, the destructive flames it casts are more powerful]

【Level: 18】

The second-level wizard guard NPC has two skills, one of which is [Summon Demon]. Wizards gain control over demons by signing contracts with them. The demons they summon are twice as strong as Wang Yue’s cannon fodder undead.

"The advantage of summoning demons is that it only requires mana, and the individual combat power of demons will be higher. However, there is no limit on the number of my undead spirits, and the combat power of the skeleton sea tactics is higher."

Seeing Wang Yue appear, the wizard guards bowed to him and motioned for him to get on the carriage.

The carriage was pulled by a black horse. It was not a wild beast, but a demon of the same kind as the inferior demon, the [Hellsteed].

Its mane is loose, its hooves are wrapped in black flames, its body is sturdy, and its size is twice that of an ordinary horse.

This black horse had no groom, and perhaps no one dared to whip it, because even Wang Yue could not see its rank.

"The mayor is quite powerful. He has released such a high-level horse. He is not afraid that the horse will run away by itself."

Wang Yue was not afraid at all. He dared to ride on the horse just because he was invited. He had even ridden a dragon before, so how could he be scared away by a horse?

After Wang Yue sat firmly, the wizard guards jumped onto the top of the carriage, and their minions, the [Green Fire Demon], also jumped onto the roof.

[Hell Horse] let out a roar and pulled the carriage towards the hillside with its powerful strength.

It was already late at night, and this was the first time Wang Yue saw the streets of Freedom Town at night.

The guards on night patrol have raised torches, more shadows have appeared in the alleys, the windows of the earthen houses have been closed, and ordinary people have fallen asleep.

"It's quite quiet and peaceful in Liberty at midnight."

Leaving the east side of the town, the carriage entered the mountain road at the east-west junction of the town.

The soldiers guarding the mountain road had already heard the sound of the mayor's carriage and pushed aside to make way.

With the help of the soldiers' torchlight, Wang Yue could clearly see the faces of the soldiers guarding the mountain road. Many of them had hair on their faces. They were actually orcs.

"I didn't expect the mayor to be so philanthropic. No wonder he is so warm and hospitable."

Wang Yue's favorability towards the mayor increased by 10 points because he was able to appoint orcs as guard soldiers. When he touched the velvet cushion in the carriage, his favorability towards the mayor increased by another 10 points.

"He can manage the town and knows how to get along with other races. I must learn from this mayor."

Wang Yue is now considered a small lord. Although the power under him is not large, he still needs to take care of it seriously. This time of going into the sea to study is of great significance.

After passing through a series of turns on the mountain road, the carriage stopped at a gate on the hillside. The wizard guards on the roof jumped off one by one and personally pushed open the gate for the carriage.

After pushing open the door, they did not return to the roof, but bowed to the carriage and watched Wang Yue continue to walk up the mountain.

Behind the door is a large open space with a wide stone road, as if someone had shaved off a piece of mountain skin, leaving behind this neat square.

There were only black horses galloping in the square. It was cloudy and moonless tonight, and nothing could be seen clearly around.

"There's really nothing there, just an open field."

Wang Yue checked the surrounding targets on the [Ghost Map], and except for the [Hell Horse] beside him, there was no icon on the map.

The higher you go up the mountain, the stronger the wind becomes.

The outline of a castle appeared on the top of the mountain, but there was no lighting inside the castle and it was pitch black.

There are several yellow dots on the map. They are the guards of Mayor Ross and the last line of defense of the castle.

"Fur."

The carriage finally stopped, and the black horse that had been running for a long time spit out a ball of black flames into the sky, and finally all the black flames fell on it.

Another group of wizard guards came towards Wang Yue, and they invited Wang Yue into the castle with the same respectful attitude.

The castle was still dark, and Wang Yue could only rely on the green-glowing inferior demon to see the road clearly.

"Then lead the way carefully, and don't let me fall."

Wang Yue is certainly not afraid of darkness. Unless the monster has special hiding skills, simply avoiding light will not be able to escape the eyes of the game system.

The heavy door was slowly opened, and the entrance to the castle turned out to be a flight of stairs leading down. Wang Yue could already see the colorful lights of the underground world at the door.

"So the castle upstairs is just for decoration? The mayor has always lived in the mountains?"

Wang Yue pointed at the darkness above her head, but the guard beside her ignored her and kept waving his hands to signal Wang Yue to go down.

If he continued to ask, it would seem like he had low emotional intelligence, and Wang Yue also preferred a space filled with light, so he walked down quickly, listening to the music next to him gradually getting louder.
