Undead Mage from a Cell

After the Holy Silver Evil Coffin set out from the Victory Front, Gu Xi noticed, with the success of building three villages and the official development of the Jiaolong Blood Castle.

The nearby roads were also gradually emerging.

As the Holy Silver Evil Coffin advanced, it was no longer like before, able to run freely in the wasteland.

With the presence of roads, the movement speed of the Holy Silver Evil Coffin had slightly improved.

Gu Xi traveled nearly a thousand miles of winding paths from the starting point to reach the Ghost Realm Jungle, and it only took him two and a half hours to arrive.

This was partly because he did not bring any subordinates and the Holy Silver Evil Coffin was rushing at full speed.

But it also proved the road ahead was clear.

Upon arriving at the Ghost Realm Jungle, Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction.

After jumping down from the Holy Silver Evil Coffin, Gu Xi headed towards the Ghost Realm Jungle.

In just under a day, the Ghost Realm Jungle had already seen some changes.

The Bone Chain Shot was the first to start building the city wall and city gate, and now half of it was already constructed.

The Skeleton Shooters assigned here by Gu Xi were moving back and forth near the city wall construction site.

It was for this reason that when Wang Yongshou came, he did not barefacedly start a fight.

He realized that since a new village was already established here, directly confronting it would be equivalent to actively attacking Gu Xi’s village, making it hard to argue otherwise.

When Gu Xi appeared near the construction site, Wang Yongshou, who had been waiting, also noticed Gu Xi’s arrival.

He hurriedly waved his hand towards Gu Xi.

"Gu Xi, over here, look this way."

By now, Wang Yongshou had probably been waiting for four or five hours, as even his helmet had been taken off and casually thrown onto the ground, and he was sitting under a tree roasting something to eat.

Seeing Gu Xi approaching, he kept waving his hand.

"Just in time, I’ve just finished roasting this, come over and have a bite."

Upon seeing this, Gu Xi also smiled, stepped forward, picked up a skewer of roasted meat from the side of the fire pit, and put it into his mouth.

"The flavor hasn’t penetrated, but the doneness is nice. Is this spider meat?"

"You’re an expert, huh? You can tell?"

"Can’t help it, it’s good enough for an Undead Mage to have something to eat."

Gu Xi took a heavy bite of the spider meat, somewhat helplessly mocking.

Listening to Gu Xi’s words, Wang Yongshou also laughed heartily.

"I thought only us Death Knights ate pretty poorly. Didn’t expect Undead Mages to be the same.

In the White Mage Corps, they boast that some of their Undead retain their culinary skills in death."

"That does happen, but the issue is, although the Undead don’t need to eat, even with culinary skills, you need ingredients."

"True enough."

Wang Yongshou took another bite of the freshly roasted spider meat.

"Oh, right, Gu Xi, I came over this time to tell you about something. The ashes I got from you have been handed over to Mr. Guo, and he confirmed it’s the Third Elder’s ashes from the Fusion Association.

At the same time, the White Bone Obelisk has conducted a soul retrieval, discovering that the Third Elder from the Fusion Association is indeed deceased.

Mr. Guo is a bit curious about you and wants to come over for a look, so I’m here to notify you in advance."

"Look? Look at what?"

Gu Xi thought for a moment and realized that he didn’t seem to know any Mr. Guo or someone like Mr. Dong.

What’s he coming to see?

And having to give advance notice?

What is this, when Gu Xi met with the city lord in Pei Xin City, it wasn’t this troublesome, was it?

Seeing the confusion in Gu Xi’s eyes, Wang Yongshou still explained to Gu Xi.

"Mr. Guo is a staff officer to the city lord, representing the status of the city’s significant noble families like the Guo, Huang, Yang families.

This term, Mr. Guo presides over the White Bone Obelisk.

Due to the importance of the White Bone Obelisk, coupled with the attitudes of the noble families, he may come off a bit arrogant, but just pretend you didn’t see it."

"I don’t owe him anything."

Gu Xi mumbled while eating, "Plus, I’m not planning on begging him for Orange Armor, so why should I come here and take this kind of nonsense."

"It’s not about taking nonsense, it’s... it’s... oh, think of it as completing a job, and the client is coming by to verify.

You can understand it that way.

You killed the Third Elder of the Fusion Association, which prematurely ended our mission in this world.

But to ensure there are no chances for the Fusion Association people to escape, we still have to come and take a last look to confirm the situation."

With Wang Yongshou putting it that way, Gu Xi understood.

It’s like a player completing a task, ready to submit it.

Except the task reporter is also a player. Unlike NPCs who accept one proof of kill to confirm the enemy’s death, disregarding the number of items given.

They always need to check to ensure the matter is genuinely resolved.

If it genuinely is, only then can they halt all operations.

"Fine, you’re the client, you have the say."

Gu Xi picked up another skewer of roasted meat from the fire pit and began eating in big chunks.

Wang Yongshou chuckled and offered a bottle of wine to Gu Xi.

"Care for a drink?"

"No, thanks."

Recalling the times he got tipsy in the tavern, Gu Xi ultimately shook his head, refusing Wang Yongshou’s offer.

Getting drunk in the wild is certainly not beneficial for Gu Xi.

Gu Xi had no intention of causing any problems at the last moment.

Wang Yongshou did not insist, only sipping on his drink.

The two exchanged stories each could comfortably share.

Jokes about Undead Mages and Death Knights, and tales about Bailian City.

Had Wang Yongshou not specifically mentioned, Gu Xi hadn’t been aware there was a subsidiary city of Bailian City beneath the surface of White Silk Lake.

Several senior officials’ descendants and some families reside there.

White Silk City underwater also breeds special species of fish.

The Fish Dragons within the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild are the descendants of these fish ashes.

And after treatment, these fish bodies can be made into top-grade Bone Dragons.

One might say that underwater Bailian City houses a powerful Bone Dragon Corps.

When their White Knight Order’s Death Knights reach Level 14, they may apply to switch to Fear Knights, or seek a water Bone Dragon, transforming into Bone Dragon Knights.

As just a squad leader, Wang Yongshou admittedly felt it was unlikely he’d become a Bone Dragon Knight in his lifetime.

He felt a bit melancholic about not accumulating enough merits. Acquiring a Bone Dragon would certainly be nice.

At this point, Gu Xi couldn’t help but comment.

"An Undead Mage needs a Bone Dragon at Level 10. If you genuinely want a Bone Dragon, there are many places to find one."

It was then, a voice came from not far off.
