In a messy quiet room, North looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
In front of him, most of the body was corroded, and the clothes were mixed with the broken body. Only the body with relatively intact legs was left, lying on the sunken ground. After enduring strong corrosion from acid, the ground still shows signs of subsidence.
North did not know the identity of the man in black robe who broke into the quiet room, but the actions he made and the strong hostility exuded from him made North understand that this person came with bad intentions.
With a significant gap in overall strength, in order to survive from the hands of the black-robed man, North found the right opportunity and used the only treasure on his body that could win, the space ring that sprayed acid.
In the crisis-ridden City of the Undead, even though North agreed to refine the potion for the lord of this place, Rhodes, who led him here, North still kept an eye on it.
Relying on the gold coins accumulated from refining potions, North bought this unique space ring from the Freelancer Chamber of Commerce in the city.
The space ring contains a large amount of acid, which North already had before purchasing this space ring. This is also the most different thing about it compared to conventional space rings.
Because it is a completely static space, these acids will not be lost due to long-term storage. In addition, the space ring itself has also been processed. When North opens it, he can directly spray the acid in it towards The tapered area directly ahead.
I heard from members of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce that this space ring is the work of a certain alchemist master. It combines the concepts of concealed weapons and one-shot victory that the Thieves Guild believes in, and it was obtained from a distant place of exile. High-quality acid is produced.
This special space ring is still in the experimental stage. North was able to obtain it not only by paying a large amount of gold coins, but also with the help of a companion.
North has also conducted some research on the acid in the space ring, hoping to find a corresponding refining method. The bottle of acid that he threw at the man in black robe was the thing he took out from the space ring.
In North's view, if he could find a method to refine the acid, he could replenish it by himself after all the acid in the space ring was sprayed out, without having to go through the treatment of the alchemist master, but he couldn't get anything. Effectiveness.
In actual combat, the effect of this space ring was beyond North's expectations. Such a troublesome enemy, without any defense, would be poured head-on by the acid in the ring, and would also suffer extremely serious damage and lose all battles. ability.
After suffering the damage from the acid, his strong vitality prevented the man in black robe from dying for a while. Instead, he struggled wildly in the quiet room. There were traces of splashes of acid all around, and many herbs were destroyed. North fired another acid spray before killing the black-robed man.
After destroying the intruding enemies, North felt no joy at all in defeating a powerful enemy. The previous tension and panic still remained in North's mind. North seemed extremely uncomfortable with such a fierce battle.
Although he is a necromancer, North has very little combat experience. He has not experienced the cruel test in Diya. Instead, he has mastered the magic in Brakada and appears this time. In a real battle, even spells cannot be cast smoothly.
North knew that if he hadn't purchased this special space ring for self-defense some time ago, and found the right time to release the acid when facing a powerful enemy, he would probably be the one who fell to the ground at this time. .
Since he did not receive any warning of the incoming powerful enemy, at this moment, North couldn't help but complain about the original guards here.
In North's impression, just after he came to the quiet room for refining, a vampire was placed as a guard at the door of the quiet room. Whenever he left the quiet room, he could detect a gaze. Meaning, also comes from this vampire.
However, when a powerful enemy actually attacked and it seemed that he was planning to assassinate him, the vampire was completely missing. This was what puzzled North.
Based on the strength shown by the man in black robe, maybe the vampire has been killed, or maybe it is a conspiracy, and the vampire deliberately let the man in black robe enter just to complete a cleanup.
At this moment, North was thinking a lot, and a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart.
Not far away was the door to the quiet room. It was half open and half closed, giving North a sense of depth. Looking at the ajar door, North didn't have the courage to push it open and walk out.
Just when North was extremely hesitant, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the quiet room. The sound became louder and louder, obviously approaching the quiet room.
The sudden abnormal situation made North completely alert. After confirming through perception the amount of acid remaining in the space ring that could be sprayed, North stared at the door of the quiet room.
Soon, the door to the quiet room was pushed open violently, and with a strong crash, a blond figure rushed in quickly.
Noticing the figure in front of him, North couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression gradually relaxed. He knew that the blond woman who came to the quiet room at this time was the current tax official of Saou City. Leah.
In North's impression, the selection of the tax officer only happened after Ailon took over as the city lord. Before that, during the period of management by the centaur leader, there was no clear official position in the city.
Even though there are many necromancers in Saou City, the selection of tax officers is not a simple matter. Tax officers have higher requirements for candidates than any other position in the city.
A good tax officer can detect the much-needed development and hidden dangers in the city from the circulation of gold coins, which is enough to make the town gradually stronger. However, an unqualified tax officer will not only hinder the development of the town with harsh taxes. , and is the source of corruption in the city.
Unable to find a suitable candidate among the necromancers, the city lord Aron finally invited a female human who was not a necromancer from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, namely Leah in front of North, to serve as the city's tax collector.
It is said that Leah is particularly sensitive to changes in the amount of money and has excellent talent in financial management. Aron was also casting spells to confirm this before appointing her.
