Chapter 100 Discussion and Taboo

Courtyard of the Dead, on the outskirts of the safe zone.

Mu Hua led a group of skeleton generals to indiscriminately sweep the surrounding undead, and the nearby adventurers gradually noticed their presence.

The safe zone was surrounded by skeleton warriors and evil spirits. Facing the attack of the Skeleton General, those skeleton warriors, which were at most small teams, would often collapse at the first touch.

As the skeleton warriors' bones shattered, the deathly energy contained in the Skeleton General's attack invaded the bones, searching for their souls and killing them.

This kind of death energy that contains individual will is like a lethal element. When this death energy invades the bones, the soul of the skeleton warrior has nowhere to hide.

If the skeleton warriors dared to confront the Skeleton General head-on, those evil spirits with more complicated thoughts would have fled in all directions and disappeared without a trace upon seeing the Skeleton General.

Most of the adventurers in the Court of the Dead wore hooded cloaks that covered their entire bodies. If they did not take off the hoods, their appearance would be impossible to recognize from a distance. Mu Hua and Taibetha were dressed the same way.

"Tsk, General Skeleton, so strong."

"The Skeleton General is not the problem. The problem is that there are too many of them."

"Are these the souls that man has imprisoned, or his followers?"

A team of dozens of people watched Mu Hua and Taibesha from afar.

Three of them stood in front of the team, while the rest of the team members were all covered by cloaks.

But except for the three people in front, the rest stood quietly aside. But if you look closely, you can find that these people don't seem to be breathing at all, and the breath of death is all around them.

Whether it is an undead creature or a constructed undead, the wide cloak is not to conceal the appearance of the necromancer, but more probably to conceal the mage's death followers.

After all, not all necromancers can create a bunch of summoned beasts like Mu Hua. If there is no construction gap to store the constructed undead, necromancers often travel with corpse carts, which is also a major reason why they are not very popular.

"Summoned beasts. Those are his summoned beasts. Someone saw his summoning array earlier." Another team approached the few people, and the lifted hoods revealed a few beautiful faces.

Witches. There are female necromancers, but there is a special kind of soul fluctuation in witches, which is delicate and seems to have the dampness and stickiness of a swamp. It is easy to sense after getting used to it.

"Bichi."

"Maggots."

The two sides exchanged greetings, which were nasty. Apart from the habitual disdain shown during the greetings, the emotions of both sides were quite calm.

"It would be really amazing if they were all summoned beasts." A necromancer said to the witch.

"Well, you think that guy could be the Shadow of the Crown?" one of the witches asked.

"The seventh? You think too much. Although I heard that the seventh will give some summoned beasts to the crowned ones, the Skeleton General is still a little short. At most, there is a master who has mastered the derivation of the undead behind him." An undead mage took off his hood, revealing an aging face.

One team was of witches, the other was of necromancers. The two sides' words were not friendly when they first met, but there was no sign of conflict in their subsequent communication.

By the way, to this day, witches and necromancers are not hostile to each other. Of course, they are far from friendly either.

Or it should be said that both sides are more accustomed to each other's bad words.

The relationship between the witch and the necromancer is rather awkward. Due to the conflict of abilities, the two sides rarely have any cooperative relationship.

Necromancers are considered evil by many humans and considered traitors by demons.

Witches were once coveted by demons and considered immoral by many humans.

The two sides can be said to be in the same boat.

Although the witch and the necromancer always curse at each other when they meet, they actually get along more harmoniously than with other people.

At least neither side would curse the other because of the insults. Perhaps to use an inappropriate description, it felt a bit like "snakes and rats from the same nest".

"They don't seem to have a team. Should we go say hello to them? Maybe we can form a team?" an Undead Mage asked his teammates.

"Team up? Who knows what kind of character he has? Don't you know the character of the Necromancer?"

"You go and ask. If the other party is easy to talk to, please call us. With his skeleton general as a backup, we might be able to try hunting the Death Knight." A witch interrupted.

"Why don't you go? He should be a 'pure blood'. Look, he has a woman with him. Maybe it would be better if you go and flirt with him a little." The necromancer retorted.

"Coward." The witch curled her lips. "You are not a coward, if you are not a coward, then you go ahead."

"Maggots."

"Bichi."

"Enough, shut up!" The leaders of both teams interrupted the quarrel. However, it was obvious that neither side wanted to take the initiative to contact Mu Hua.

Similar discussions about Mu Hua took place in many places outside the safe zone. Before Mu Hua's background was clear, the results were basically the same as those of these two teams.

On the city wall of the safe zone, several officers from the garrison regiment gathered together, also looking in the direction where Mu Hua left.

"Should we contact him? See what he wants to do? Maybe we can provide him with some assistance."

The garrison of Luomen City had had enough of the Courtyard of the Dead. There were three courtyards in Luomen City, and the other two courtyards were relatively normal. Only the Courtyard of the Dead gave everyone a headache.

That's right, everyone, everyone from the three garrison regiments.

There are too few adventurers coming to the Courtyard of the Undead, which causes the undead in the courtyard to attack the safe zone from time to time.

If a garrison regiment were to remain here all the time, I'm afraid everyone would apply for discharge within a year or two.

This courtyard has always been guarded by three garrison regiments in rotation.

The strength displayed by Mu Hua, compared with the level of the entire courtyard, is actually just that.

But even so, the garrison wouldn't mind sending a troop to coax him to kill more undead. It would be best if he had some friends or good brothers, so that they could all come here to have fun together...

"Nelson, we will be changing shifts in half a month, so just prepare a case." A middle-aged officer said to the person who spoke at the beginning.

"These necromancers are quite troublesome, let's leave it to Condi and the others to contact them." Another person interrupted.

Obviously, if it was not necessary, no one wanted to contact Mu Hua, the necromancer who had suddenly arrived.

"Captain, from what I've observed, he should be here to collect bones." A young man said to Nelson, attracting everyone's attention.

"Look, this guy seems to be an alchemist. He even took the bones of the skeleton warriors. I guess he has no intention of helping us hunt demons." The young man handed a pair of binoculars to Nelson.

The garrison regiments basically all use magical weapons. The knives they carry may actually be laser swords emitting blue flames. After the explosive bombs and artillery fire, it is difficult to find magic stones and magic cores, let alone complete bones.

To adventurers, the garrison is definitely a bunch of losers. Unless there is a battle with a clear purpose, adventurers are not very willing to cooperate with them.

Nelson looked through the telescope.

Sure enough, Mu Hua seemed to be killing skeleton warriors along the way aimlessly. The skeleton warriors that were defeated by the Skeleton General and Taibesha would turn into dust under Mu Hua's control.

"This is really like plucking feathers from a passing goose. We should persuade this guy to come to the Roman Adventure Guild and station there. By doing this, we won't even have to go through the effort of purifying the death energy." Nelson sighed.

"You should save your energy. He was seen very young and clean-skinned. Obviously a pureblood."

"They brought so many skeleton generals with them. I guess they want to study the construction of the undead and come here to collect some materials."

"How could such a person be stationed at the station?" An old soldier shook his head.

After a while of discussion, everyone concluded that Mu Hua was a "useless person" and then lost interest in him.

At this moment, Mu Hua's face was full of joy, because he found that these skeleton warriors seemed to be their real bodies. He liked this kind of monsters that descended in their real bodies.

The wasteland was littered with bones. Although the Burning Furnace would not accept skeleton warriors who had been dead for some time, if they had just been killed, even their broken bones could be collected into the Burning Furnace.

Smelting these bone residues will produce soul fragments, although there are no skill stones, attribute secret stones or the like yet, and Mu Hua can also melt ashes (the basis of life) that can be used to make dead bones.

The dead bones made from this ashes can be used to make constructed undead or derived undead. Adding soul dust and increasing the amount of ashes can also strengthen the dead bones.

This thing usually requires fresh bones to be refined, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. But now it is much easier for Mu Hua to obtain it.

Ashes, soul fragments, soul dust, plus the skeleton transformation and soul transformation that Mu Hua has mastered, Mu Hua thinks he may be able to create a skeleton general.

This is still due to the limitations of skeleton transformation. If the skeleton summoning continues to upgrade, he should be able to gain more knowledge about skeleton transformation, and perhaps a stronger skeleton undead can be created?
Mu Hua happily collected the skeleton warriors that were killed, but after burning them, it seemed that there were no magic cores left for Taibetha to share.

Or, just build two Constructed Undead for Taibetha to make up the difference?
