The skeleton lowered his arms and sat down on a chair next to me.
I took out a spell book and started studying something that would help me in the future.
After flipping through a couple of pages, I managed to find something that should help me in battles, given my current capabilities, I will try to start studying curses. Remembering what happened recently, I decide to teach "mark" and "weakening".
Teaching again…
- Stand up, attention.
The skeleton stands in place and looks at me.
- "Mark", "weaken"
The mark worked, and I feel a lump of mana from him, but the weakening has not passed. It looks like skeletons can't be debuffed.
I'm not going to dispel the mark, so if anything I can notice it more easily, though the mark is a little weak, so we don't really hope for it…
While practicing the spells, morning came and I went to the cart.
It looks like I'm going alone today, and why not?
But no, the merchant is still dumber than I thought, he is often heated with prices, right?
Okay, we don't train necromancy on the way.
Although…
When we drove off, I sat down on the roof again and began to cast a curse of weakness on passers-by, and deftly removed it when a person began to disappear from the radius of my vision.
Until we left the city, it was funny to watch how some people winced, looked around, stumbled, and the like, there was even one who had his legs knocked down…
Of course, I don't want to cast magic so easily on innocent citizens, but when it's safe, why not? However, I didn't throw curses at the guards or at those who look at least a little like a magician, will they suddenly notice?
When we finally left the city, I decided to take a nap, fortunately I did not sleep soundly and woke up from the growling of monsters, so we drove calmly.
After some time driving through meadows and fields, a city began to be seen in the distance, or rather stone walls, they looked worse and lower than those in the previous city and even more so in the capital. Surprisingly, while we were driving, I never heard the merchant's voice, and I was playing checkers with the cabman, so I forgot about him at all.
This time, without a spectacular landing, you still shouldn't suffer bullshit in front of the city guards, it's very difficult to escape from them, if anything, they're there like ants…
When it was my turn, I entered almost without problems, although they found fault with the mask a little, but everything was solved when I showed that even the guild card indicated that I did not take it off. After saying goodbye to the driver, we parted, he will most likely create a new flight, and I have the final one. I wonder how those two get there? Is it really on foot, huh a funny situation…
Well, I shouldn't have a map, should I? I found dungeons on the map, one was right next to the city, and the second was not far from here in the north, I also found out where the guild and an inexpensive hotel are here. Still, I won't buy an inexpensive house yet, as long as I keep the money.
This city will be my new home for now, so I could stop by the guild, and at the same time sit and take a break after everything at the bar…
Well, the guild bar, as usual, is noisy, empty walls with several task boards, and the furniture is cheap and scratched. Well, this is not surprising, because adventurers are thumping around the clock, scratching tables and benches with their weapons and the like. However, unlike most buildings, everything here is decorated with stone, which is quite logical.
A waitress came up to me, I asked for something that is ordered very often.
Well, I got something. I was served a mug of beer the size of my head, bread and roast meat with potatoes, meat and something else. But why not, it's still inexpensive.
I ate what was served, it even tasted very good, the chowder itself was slightly peppered, but not so much that it stopped being delicious, and the meat was slightly streaked, but with this bread it's the very thing. True, I haven't really drunk beer before, but this is another world, so I don't have a better choice.
