Undead Mage from a Cell

"Who told you that? There’s no such thing.

In the Middle Ages, elves were everywhere in the world. If there really were a World Tree, the earth vein of this world would have long been drained, leaving no chance for humans."

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s question, Kro decisively shook his head.

At this moment, Gu Xi glanced at several architects again.

Their thoughts were already written on their faces; making this place into a Death City was not viable.

But Gu Xi felt somewhat unconvinced in his heart.

The Death City itself isn’t easy to handle.

After all, there are many city ruins, but there are few that can truly be considered dead cities.

It’s rare to find one in front of us now, yet it’s not feasible for this or that reason.

So why would he search for dead cities? He might as well stay in Yalidov City and keep developing there.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi closed his eyes, "Let’s take a gamble. Even if we fail, we won’t suffer any actual loss."

Gu Xi was not the type to be a miserly person, without the mindset of feeling disadvantaged for not getting benefits.

This dead city in front of him was not his, so if he succeeded, he’d gain a Death City; if he failed, he’d just pretend he hadn’t been here.

"Are you planning to dig in now?"

Seeing Gu Xi’s eyes change from contemplative to determined, Kro knew Gu Xi had made up his mind.

However, Kro could only think of digging from here or from the surface down; he didn’t expect Gu Xi would choose to gamble here.

"No, I plan to take a gamble. You all come over, I have a plan and need your professional skills."

Gu Xi called the architects aside and started explaining.

The three architects kept nodding. Gu Xi now proposed another idea, which was right within their area of expertise.

The matters inside weren’t difficult.

So they swiftly provided Gu Xi with appropriate opinions and advice based on their expertise.

Gu Xi also promptly contacted Luna, telling her to prepare the materials.

Luna was fully aware of all the changes happening within Yalidov City.

The request Gu Xi made wasn’t difficult at all, Luna briefly thought it over and prepared everything Gu Xi needed.

She also asked Gu Xi, "Master, do you need me to come over to help?"

"No, coming here would actually affect the situation of this city.

We need a new Death City. No matter how poorly this city develops, it remains an independent existence.

This way, some of Yalidov City’s shortcomings can be supplemented."

Luna didn’t oppose Gu Xi’s words much either.

Actually, Luna knew herself that her current workload was already overwhelming.

If not for Eldest Princess Anna helping with the division of labor on preparations, she might not even have the time to manage the Mysterious Mirror Image Space.

Now giving her a new Death City to manage would surely drive Luna mad; the new Death City might not be well-managed, and there might be lapses in Yalidov City as well.

Luna understood this, and so did Gu Xi.

Luna was just wholeheartedly devoted to Gu Xi, wanting to do more for him.

Soon, a group of Undead arrived carrying several boxes.

These boxes contained some paper cartons.

"What’s in these?"

"Some reinforcement tools, usually used during Undead transformation, can be applied to corpses to enhance the quality of transformation."

Gu Xi calmly opened these boxes, satisfied with the attributes of the items inside.

This time Gu Xi intended to treat the city as if it were a corpse.

To make this city stand up on its own.

Pushing away the fifty-meter-thick soil layer from below.

Only then can a Death City possibly form.

Otherwise, other methods have a low success rate of forming a Death City.

Most of the materials Luna sent over were products from the Witch’s House, with a small part being Pea Artifacts.

Items from the Witch’s House were mostly intended to strengthen spirituality, with a few for concentrating Yin Qi.

In the past, Gu Xi used these items to transform Ghost Types of the Undead.

Now, Gu Xi planned to enhance the spirituality of the dead city itself, only by finding the core point can the transformation to a Death City be completed.

Otherwise, forming a Death City would just be an empty talk.

Whether these tools meet Gu Xi’s goals is still uncertain for him.

He could only bet on luck.

As for the Pea Artifacts, they were used to break through the thick soil above.

After all, the fifty-meter-thick soil takes a long time to dig by hand, and if it all collapses, even if the Death City forms successfully, these soils can turn the Death City back into a dead city.

At his Fairy Tale Library back then, three Pea Artifacts per week helped him greatly.

Although now he hardly uses these Pea Artifacts, weekly collection hasn’t stopped.

This time, Luna directly followed Gu Xi’s instructions, bringing all Pea Artifacts that can break soil or have effects on soil, space, or stabilization.

When opening the boxes, Gu Xi was shocked by the situation here, he didn’t expect that so quickly, there were so many Pea Artifacts.

"Devil’s Bean Net (Green): When planted in soil, it can grow into a vine network covering no less than a hundred acres, which can’t be cut by any attack while the Pea Vine is alive."

"Ascension Peas (Green): When planted in soil, it can grow a vine continuously upward, with strong pushing ability to break through thick soil layer, growing up to three hundred meters above ground."

"Metal Peas (Green): When planted in soil, can..."

Looking at the information of each Pea Artifact, Gu Xi smiled slightly.

These are likely accumulated over the days, all similar artifacts.

Gu Xi carefully examined every pea’s information and arranged where each pea should go.

Some peas are meant to fix the foundation of the current focal point, some are meant to break the thick soil above, and others are to protect the city from being crushed by soil when the layer is broken.

So each pea must be placed in its corresponding location.

If any pea makes a mistake, it could bring catastrophic damage to the city in front.

In this respect, Gu Xi was more cautious than with other tools.

After arranging all the Pea Artifacts, Gu Xi commanded the Undead to deliver each tool into the city.

Watching the situation unfold, Kro couldn’t help but ask a question.
