Rustle rustle rustle...
Soft footsteps later, Sophie, Xinran and Karinshan walked out of the house. Stark, Ziyan and the other commanders of the empire followed behind them. Xinran's new subordinate, the headless Headless Horseman, Bloody Finger, also walked out of the house. I had dropped the Purple Ying Sword earlier, so he was now wielding a new sword that looked pretty good as well. Even though Bloody Finger had come back to life, he still retained some of the abilities he had when he was alive. Bloody runes floated around his left arm, and they gave him a tremendous amount of power. He was still the same Bloody Finger, except that he was now completely loyal to Xinran. Fans of the novel also loved to read:
I was quite proud of Xinran's NPC sister for her own good. She had even recruited one of the Nine Sovereigns of the Purgatory, Ovia the Bloody Finger. One day, she would be able to subdue even the Purgatory Ruler, Lin Na. When that happened, I would be able to take Lin Na and Bloody Finger all over the place, killing bosses, looting, territory snatching and so on...
"Hey, what are you thinking about …" He Yi patted me on the shoulder and woke me up from my dream.
"Er, it's nothing …"
I hurriedly wiped away the drool at the corner of my mouth and said, "I think the dungeon map needs some maintenance before it can be refreshed. I don't think we have much to do after this."
"Mn."
He Yi nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I heard that all the dungeons in Sky City will be open at 7 am tomorrow, so a lot of people are logging off to stock up on supplies. I heard that they're going to start at 7 am tomorrow and clear all of S1-S7 dungeons in three days …"
I shivered. "Holy shit, who's the one who wants to clear all of the S Rank dungeons?"
He Yi said, "Gui Guzi …"
"That idiot …" I was speechless. "Let's get some rest and not waste too much time online. Let's collect some materials and duplicate our mounts."
"Mn."
… …
"Big bro …" Xinran walked up to me and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to you blocking Sophie's attack just a little, big bro. Princess Karinshan's life might've been in danger otherwise. If anything happens to Princess Karinshan, the royal authority of Sky City will crumble. She is the only legitimate heir to the throne."
I glanced at Karinshan and said, "I think she stole the throne. Is it legal now …"
Xinran: "..."
Karinshan's face darkened. "We might be close, but … but if you anger me, I'll still take action. But no matter what, I still have to thank you, young warrior."
I nodded. "No need to thank me. This is the responsibility of every adventurer in the main city."
As I said this, I looked at Bloody Finger. He was staring at me through the faint undead spark inside his headless helmet. Feeling a bit regretful, I said, "It's such a pity that I didn't absorb his undead spark back then. Otherwise, I might have become an Asura God a long time ago …"
Crimson Finger shuddered. "You …"
I turned around and looked at Xinran. "Xinran, it's a good thing that you've resurrected Bloody Finger, but what about his head?"
Xinran exclaimed, "Big bro, didn't you take Bloody Finger's head to turn in the quest?!"
I turned around to look at Karinshan. Karinshan shrugged and said with a smile, "It's used as a sacrifice for the souls of those who died in vain …"
Bloody Finger's body shuddered again.
She stared at the sky and let out a long howl. "All undead of the Snow Domain, listen to my command! Move toward White Rose Fortress! Do not harm any living beings, and do not resist any human legions! Run away and camp in the forest valley outside White Rose Fortress! That will be our new territory! From today onwards, the undead of the Snow Domain will fight for honor and honor! As long as you can protect the order of the continent, I, Sophie, will grant you honor!"
Very good. The super boss ranked second among the Nine Sovereigns of Purgatory is finally one of us.
I looked at Sophie and asked, "Sis Sophie, you're one of the strongest of the Nine Sovereigns of Purgatory. Can we discuss something?"
The corner of Sophie's mouth twitched. "Who's your Sis Sophie?
Hmph, you're Xinran's big brother, and I … never mind. For Xinran's sake, just say what you want to say! "
I nodded. "I own an undead city as my territory, and I'm the master of that city. However, it takes a lot of resources to recruit soldiers, so I've always been lacking in offensive units. I only have a few thousand Ghost God Knights and Dark Archers. You're an outstanding undead general, and you have more than ten million undead troops under your command. Can you provide some high-level undead troops to my Dark Moon City? I'd be eternally grateful if you could …"
"What?!"
Sophie's eyes widened as she pointed a finger at my nose. "You shameless bastard! How could the brave undead warriors serve a mere adventurer like you?
No, absolutely not. I will not let those loyal and devoted Undead Warriors become the slaves of humans! "
I quickly tugged at Xinran's hand and motioned for her to speak.
Xinran's Intimacy with me was very high, so she immediately looked at Sophie with a smile. "Sophie, since we've formed an alliance, there's no need to be selfish, is there?
Your soldiers are under big brother's command, and they're also fighting against the undead army. It's the same thing … "
"But, Xinran, you …"
Sophie gritted her teeth and glared at me. "Shameless bastard, I really want to send you to purgatory right now. Hmph, Xinran is spoiling this shameless adventurer too much. If this continues, it's only a matter of time before he rises above Princess Karinshan and Princess Sophia's heads …"
Xinran giggled and grabbed my arm. "That's because big brother spoils Xinran a lot as well …"
My heart was filled with joy.
Purple Marquis sighed beside me. "Lu Chen, you're too awesome. You can eat both real life beauties and in-game NPC beauties. Teach me when we get back …"
I ignored him and asked Sophie, "So … Sophie, what kind of troops are you going to give me? How many?"
Sophie gritted her teeth and said, "Ten filthy Corpse Eaters, nothing more!"
I jumped to my feet and said, "What the hell? Do you think I'm a beggar? These ghouls can't even take two slashes from my sword. Once Lin Na attacks, do you think I can stop him with just ten ghouls?"
"What do you want then?
Greedy bastard … "
"Definitely not the Corpse Eaters. They're too low-rank. I need higher-rank troops that are intimidating …"
"Then let's go with the Three-headed Giants …"
"Third Prince Nezha …" I pondered for a moment before shaking my head. "Although the Third Prince Nezha's Armor Penetration is terrifying, he's still a ground troop. It's extremely easy for a cavalry to charge and kill him. Moreover, I have tens of thousands of Dragonlight Cavalrymen under my command, so I don't need the Third Prince anymore. Just give me some flying troops, like those filthy flying insects you mentioned …"
The two smart girls immediately understood what I was talking about. That's right, I was asking for the Undead Bone Dragons. These powerful existences that could fly and breathe clouds of smoke were absolutely devastating to the knights and infantry on the ground. A single dragon breath could kill dozens of people at once. If I could get some Undead Bone Dragons to help me defend Dark Moon City and work with the Dragonlight Cavalry on the ground, then Dark Moon City would truly be impregnable.
"Filthy flying insects, is it?
Sure … "Sophie smiled.
I smiled back. "You're like my family, Sister Sophie!"
"Hmph hmph!"
Sophie's smile grew a little sinister as she raised her hand and said, "Come out, flying insects!"
Swhoosh!
A red light flashed as a magic formation appeared on the ground. It wasn't long before three bloated, winged fellows appeared in the air. They were three fat maggots, but they had grown wings and were wriggling their bloated bodies against the wind. It was almost as if they were winking at us!
"Fuck …"
I stumbled a few steps backward and crashed into Sophie's chest. I felt the proud and bouncy body of the Goddess of Death for the first time, but it wasn't pleasant at all. In fact, I was half a head shorter than Sophie. Motherfucker!
"What the hell are these …"
I pointed a finger at the fat maggots and said, "I don't want these disgusting things even if they're free!"
Sophie smiled. "Isn't this what you want?"
“NO！”
My gaze was resolute and I decided not to act coy any longer. "Sister Sophie, just tell me directly. I want an Undead Bone Dragon, one that can use Ice Breath and Fire Breath. That way, it will be able to coordinate with the troops that I have to attack in a three-dimensional manner. Only then will my city be invincible."
Sophie pouted. "No way. Do you know how big of a graveyard we need to nurture a bone dragon? Do you know how many Corpse Eaters we need to provide undead soul sparks?"
"I know. That's why there has to be a price. Tell me the price, and I'll do my best to fulfill it. Everyone else, just watch!"
I was determined to get an undead bone dragon no matter what. I wouldn't be satisfied without these flying insects to defend the city. Moreover, Pop Culture was growing stronger by the day thanks to Candle Dragon's long-range support, Warsky Alliance was eyeing the western region of Sky City, and Sword Lord of Jianghu was no pushover either. Everyone was drooling over Dark Moon City, and I knew that we wouldn't be able to defend it without enough firepower.
"Oh, a price?"
Sophie smiled and thought for a moment. "Alright, I'll command my army of the dead to build a Dark Castle in the valley near the White Rose Keep as a lair of death. If you're sincere, then provide me with enough gold. I need gold to buy the stone to build the castle, the metal for the inlaid armor of the ghouls, and the cost of cleaning up the three-headed giant's filthy body. I can't kill or loot anymore." Sophie smiled and thought for a moment.
I nodded. "No problem. How much do you want?"
"A hundred thousand gold for an undead bone dragon …" Sophie said indifferently.
I gaped at her. "A hundred thousand for an undead bone dragon? Is this daylight robbery?
An Undead Bone Dragon for my high-spec Swift, that's too cruel. Sister Sophie, don't you love me at all? "
Sophie shot me a glance. "Xinran is the one who loves you, not me. A hundred thousand gold for a bone dragon is up for grabs, but I won't give it to anyone else …"
I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. I wanted nothing more than to pounce on Sophie and beat her face into a pig's head. This filthy tyrant is too despicable!
However, at this moment, a sweet voice beside him said, "Then it will be 100,000 per head. Anyue City wants 1,000 high-level Undead Bone Dragons. I'll pay the bill!"
Fuck, it's He Yi! The president of Raincube is much bolder than I am!
