The Courtyard of the Dead in Monroe is a very representative courtyard.
how to say.
To say that it is poor and has nothing is a bit one-sided and unrealistic.
To say that people hate it and dogs despise it is a bit off.
Can it be considered as bad business?
The most obvious specific impact is that compared to the situation in Kanes Courtyard, there may be some demon generals here, but there are very few leaders here, and the management of the demon generals is really not that good.
Among those demon generals, a large number may not be the direct subordinates of the Lord of the Courtyard.
They projected down for various reasons, and then sat in the courtyard to eat and wait for death. As time went by, because there were too few humans, even if it was a pity to sacrifice them, they really wanted to die.
Because a large area of land in the Courtyard of the Dead has the characteristics of a burial ground, many of the undead creatures here are born naturally.
At the same time, it was a bit similar to the situation when Mu Hua wanted to migrate the indigenous people to the Abyss Island earlier. Mu Hua estimated that the master of the courtyard here had also caught other creatures in hell and thrown them into this courtyard, because the proportion of monsters that descended here was also surprisingly high.
This is the situation, and this situation is actually not uncommon among many courtyards. It can be considered a representative example of poor management and low popularity.
Fortunately, the creatures here are mainly skeletons and undead. Otherwise, another feature of this type of courtyard is that the monsters inside would either repeatedly attack the human world or would have fought themselves to pieces long ago.
"Bang~!" Broken bones flew everywhere, and a bone wall was shattered by the touch of jealousy.
A lich riding a bone dragon was forced by the magic dragon to be unable to take off. He looked in the direction of Mu Hua with a somewhat unlucky but calm expression.
The dry and emaciated body made it difficult to tell its race in life. When Mu Hua's jealous tentacles shattered the thick bone wall it had released, the lich immediately provided Mu Hua with continuous jealous energy.
"Monster!" the lich spoke hoarsely. It was a derogatory word in the mouths of humans, but when spoken by the lich it was spoken with a tone of envy and admiration.
"It seems that you are not the leader here?" Mu Hua frowned as he faced the lich on the back of the bone dragon from a distance.
Although the undead in the Gray Berlin Sea were of lower rank, if they were the leader of the monsters, they wouldn't have fought much. There was no reason for him to have such big emotions because of a jealous ghost with unknown background.
"I came from there. After seeing widespread chaos in the forest, I wanted to come here to see if I could get some bargains." The lich raised his hand and pointed to the west. Beyond the gray cypress forest, there were layers of mountains.
"You are a human ghost, jealous?" Before Mu Hua could speak, the lich continued. Although he was asking, his tone was a bit nagging.
"Those damn liars, they said this place would make me more of a lich, that I could step into the pale faster, and even touch envy."
"But you see, humans don't like this place at all. There is nothing here, and they don't even allow me to go to other areas at will." The lich muttered.
"Want to fight? I can't bear it anymore and want to tear you apart. Or, let me see what jealousy is all about?"
"But, I would rather you cause trouble for them. If you can completely disrupt this lifeless gray cypress forest, perhaps you can merge it into the Dead Bone Mountains?" Looking at Mu Hua, it would be fine if this lich didn't speak, but once he opened his mouth, he had the potential to be a chatterbox.
Constitution 3000+, Spirit 800+. Due to the normal magic adaptability issues of the lich, the intelligence attributes of the undead can be basically ignored unless there is a skeleton mage with mutation factors.
The lich in front of him was not weak, but he was seriously unbalanced in his studies. It was estimated that this guy had been a lich for only a short time, and before being transformed into a lich, he might not have been very good at casting spells.
According to it, this guy was tricked into this courtyard. He was an idle person outside the lord's power. Because of the regional division, he was thrown into the mountain area west of the Gray Cypress Forest.
There are many liches hiding in the mountains over there, and their popularity is not much different from that in the Gray Cypress Forest. This is an amateur lich player whose main attack methods are melee and constructing undead, and he seems to have developed some "anti-social" tendencies in this courtyard...
"This guy reminds me of the two headless knights I met before." Mu Hua said to Vivian, looking at the lich who could not tell the strength of the enemy and the lich, but had a bit of the madness of a veteran lich.
"The two headless knights are not as talkative as it is. Its bone dragon is pretty good, but I don't know if it has mastered the interstitial space." Vivian shook her head.
When Mu Hua and Vivian first met, they were wandering around the boneyard together and encountered two headless knights who were also idle people. The two headless knights seemed to have lost hope in living in this courtyard.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not. Looking at the dying appearance of the lich in front of him, although he has never seen the Lord of the Courtyard here, Mu Hua always feels that the Lord of the Courtyard here might be a good insurance seller.
"This guy's intelligence and spirit are not very good. A melee lich? He should not have mastered the interstitial space." Mu Hua looked the lich up and down. Because of the robe covering it, he didn't see any obvious magic props on it.
"Clang~~~" A series of dense weapons clashing sounds, because the frequency was too fast, the multiple golden sounds seemed to be just one. But as soon as Mu Hua finished speaking, Vivian took action directly.
The lich's close combat ability was unexpectedly outstanding. Facing the spears piercing from the space around him, he actually swung a sword to create a gap and avoided Vivian's attack.
"Physical fitness over two thousand?" Vivian looked at Mu Hua in surprise.
"3000+." Mu Hua replied.
As Vivian frowned, more weapons emerged from the void beside the lich, chasing the lich to form a sharp blade channel.
The lich's originally tall and straight figure became hunched, but his movements were extremely agile, either blocking or dodging, with irregular shifts and maneuvers, and he actually got closer to Mu Hua despite Vivian's attacks.
It's no wonder that the lich's attire meets the standards of a spellcaster. If you don't investigate its attributes and suddenly encounter it, it would be easy to fall into its trap.
Its fighting style is nothing like that of a spellcaster or a ruler. It is simply a vanguard warrior who is good at dealing with sieges.
"Ang~!" The bone dragon let out a shrill roar, accompanied by the lich's charge, as if it wanted to cooperate with the lich to attack Mu Hua.
"Boom!" The evil dragon that had previously blocked the bone dragon fell from the sky and pressed the bone dragon, which was like a war beast, to the ground.
The lich in front of him was a projection, but the bone dragon was a constructed undead. Even if the lich died and returned to hell, the bone dragon would be left here.
By using some special means to extract the ghost trapped in the bone dragon, one can obtain this bone dragon. If it is not necessary, Mu Hua does not want to destroy this bone dragon.
"You robbers and liars, you can't get anything from me." The bone dragon was pressed to the ground by the magic dragon. The lich didn't know who he had brought Mu Hua and the others to. In anger, he threw out a lot of constructed undead.
"Tum~"
“Boom~!”
There were two bone dragons mixed in with the pile of constructed undead. The two bone dragons fell to the ground with a bang and blocked Vivian's elusive attacks for the lich.
"Thump~thump~thump~thump~" Dozens of headless knights drove their infernal warhorses and ran over from a distance.
"Alas, I really don't want to bully you. I'll send you back to hell. These constructed undead can be regarded as your ticket." The headless knight who ran back discovered the battle here and concentrated his soul on special weapons. Mu Hua sighed and said.
In an instant, he moved in a flash. The next moment, the lich hiding between the ribs of the bone dragon had his cheek pinched by a big hand.
"Huh~!" The lich was stunned as a black flame was poured into its mouth.
"Boom~!" Blood and energy exploded all over the lich's body, but the lich looked through his fingers at Mu Hua who was still pinching his cheek, and questioned him.
Damn it, I just came here to see if there was any bargain to be made, and when I found something was not right, I was ready to leave. But who would have thought that this human in front of me would act like a jealous person, and it turns out that this bastard is not even a serious spellcaster.
The returning headless knights did not come to fight, they came back to deliver corpses to Mu Hua. Mu Hua did not want to waste time in killing the lich...
Hellfire was poured into the lich's body, and he was basically powerless to recover. He teleported to avoid the attack of the constructed undead, and Mu Hua carried the lich, whose seven orifices were on fire, back to the dragon's back.
The sky was filled with dark golden light, and when the lich dissipated, Mu Hua and Vivian stared at a pile of fallen items, one of which was a tag that caught their eyes brightly.
Gap space, item style, the previous lich's fighting style was a bit biased, but seeing that it could throw out three bone dragons, it should have robbed houses quite a lot in normal times.
And if it masters the magic of the interstitial space itself, it can stuff the constructed undead into its own interstitial space and project their death, and its constructed undead will not be able to explode.
But if it was just a magic item, the magic items in the interstitial space didn't have any soul-binding function, and the constructed undead thrown out by it, including the remaining items in the interstitial space, would be a bit embarrassing...
The touch of jealousy erupted, and Mu Hua and Vivian turned into tentacle monsters together. Mu Hua pressed down the big ones, and Vivian grabbed the small ones. A group of ferocious constructed undead were pinned down by the two of them.
These crazy constructed undead might be troublesome to other combat professionals, but to the two jealous ghosts, they are basically gifts.
These constructed undead cannot be used to refine ashes, so they are of little significance to Mu Hua. He threw the tag to Vivian, and Mu Hua and Taibetha each caught a bone dragon to play with.
They all opened up their own interstitial spaces, and Vivian's corpse-demon space is essentially an interstitial space that allows ghosts to survive. (End of this chapter)
