Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Singo couldn't help laughing secretly when he saw some players in front of him looking embarrassed.

"Fortunately, I've been prepared for a long time."

He patted the bulging purse beside him, which contained more than a thousand gold coins - as a dragon blood viscount who received dividends from the military industrial group, he could naturally take out this money.

In the team of dozens of people, several people had to leave in despair because they were short of money, which increased his queue progress a lot.

The [Dead Knight] at the front of the line paid the money reluctantly and walked into the [Undead Biology Research Institute] with a body bag.

Maxi put away the gold coins and nodded slightly to the players waiting outside the door: "Don't worry, please wait outside the door for a while."

"Don't worry, Director Orest is very efficient."

Not long after, the [Dead Knight] came out happily with a [Undead Follower Rental Contract]. He hummed a song and summoned a beautiful long-haired female ghost under the expectant eyes of everyone.

"Damn, so fast!"

"This undead follower is pretty good-looking."

"Isn't it my friend?"

"I'm so jealous - why didn't I think of summoning a wife?"

"Enough, you're also an animal!"

"This is clearly a fighting partner!"

Next, the famous necromancer player [Rain City] also paid gold coins and walked into the research institute impatiently.

In just a few minutes, the next transformation was completed.

"Hehe."

"Let me open your eyes."

Rain City gently pushed his silver-framed glasses, lightly held the brim of his hat, and walked out of the research institute.

Behind him were three majestic undead skeletons of different shapes, which were the "Three Royal Families" from the three major families in the north.

One held a sword, one held a spear, and one wielded a heavy hammer.

These three were the ancestors of Rain City who were pulled out of the coffin. They were carefully selected. They were all famous warriors and holy warriors when they were alive. Even after death, they had a challenge level of up to level 6, which was about the same as three small bosses.

And the combination of these "three families", plus the blessing spells of the necromancer, their combat effectiveness has increased sharply.

The onlookers were particularly jealous.

"When will it be my turn?"

"So cool"

"I also want to raise undead followers!"

"I've decided to start switching jobs and playing summoning today!"

Singo looked at the distant Rain City with a serious expression: "His lineup is a bit strong in this version, and he is an opponent worthy of attention."

Several more players entered in succession.

"Oh"

"Who hasn't been in line yet?"

Langli Baitiao also quickly brought a row of undead skeletons of Bosque's ancestors, holding the rental contract, and walked past him as if showing off.

"You are here to show off with three summoning opportunities a day?"

Singo shook his head and laughed.

But it was finally his turn.

Singo handed five gold coins to Maxi at the door without hesitation, and under the friendly smile of the other party, he dragged the rotten corpse of the half-giant surrounded by flies into the institute.

"Is this the Institute of Undead Creatures?"

"It's a little different from what I imagined."

In Singo's imagination, this should be a restricted area for creatures with corpses and spider webs everywhere, but it really looks like a research institute.

The neat rows of electric lights, the clean and tidy corridors, and the clear signposts on the walls all indicate this.

Even the bloodstains left by him dragging the corpse will be automatically removed by the cleaning spell on the corridor wall.

Singo looked at the heavy iron door at the end of the corridor, and the skull logo on it, and finally felt a bit of death.

"Then let me see the so-called 'Soul Sigher'."

He thought so.

Singo put his hand on the skull, and the heavy iron door slowly opened.

"Lord Orest, I'm here to transform the dead."

"Come in."

The voice was low and hoarse.

But Singo keenly heard a strong sense of fatigue from it.

It was similar to the half-dead sound of a social animal who stayed up late to work overtime.

Did he hear it wrong?

That was the legendary lich!

The master of the undead! The insidious and cruel immortal who holds endless mysteries!

Singo couldn't help but look up, and the name above his head was particularly conspicuous.

[Soul Chanter - Orest]

Faction: Burning Empire

Unit: Undead Research Institute

Challenge Level: ? ? ?

The lich was sitting on an ordinary desk, wearing a ragged robe, and the soul fire in his eye sockets was particularly dim, but the skeleton scepter on the shelf next to him was quite scary.

He held a bone pen in his withered hand, writing something on the documents on the table.

Singo found it difficult to describe this temperament.

This is simply - a worker among the liches, with no aura at all, and a perfunctory atmosphere everywhere.

Orest stopped writing and urged impatiently: "Do you still want to transform? Hurry up?"

"Okay."

Singo quickly threw away these distracting thoughts, walked forward, opened the store panel, and browsed quickly.

Lich:? ? ? Condition unknown

[Please provide the items you want to transform. ]

The following special options such as death knights and lichs are obviously not prepared for current players.

Therefore, he skipped these directly. Since he brought a complete corpse, he chose [Zombie Demon], which can turn killed creatures into zombies, as the best option.

"Lord Orest, I want to transform the corpse demon."

He untied the heavy body bag, revealing the rotting and stinking half-giant body inside.

The Lich glanced at it and said calmly: "Half-giant professionals need more money."

A new transaction box pops up immediately.

[Soul Eternal Sigher-Orest offers you a new deal. ]

[Half-giant zombie leader: 800 gold coins, 5500 experience]

[Do you agree to the transaction? whether]

"this"

Even Singo felt a little sore.

These gold coins and experience almost cost him all his savings in recent months, and even he had to think about it.

"Hurry up."

Orest urged impatiently.

Under the temptation of improving his strength, Singo gritted his teeth and made a decision, clicked the [Confirm] option on the panel, and handed over the bulging money bag——

"Sir, please help me transform."

"good."

Oreste removed the skeletal scepter and pointed it deftly at the half-giant's bloated, putrid corpse.

Suddenly, waves of low roars sounded.

The gray mist of negative energy filled the body of the corpse, and the dark eyes flickered with light. Finally, it slowly stood up.

The nearly three-meter-tall corpse demon was covered in filthy, decaying flesh and blood, and one could still see how strong it was in life.

[Half-giant zombie leader]

Challenge level: 7 (3100xp)

Orest took out a blank scroll from the cabinet, continued writing on the table, and then threw it casually in front of Singo.

"alright."

"For the Ember Empire."

He said the classic words, but these words seemed a bit strange coming from the Lich's mouth.

"For the Ember Empire."

Singo also responded by hitting his chest with his right hand.

He secretly sighed in his heart: "A lich loyal to the empire is really strange."

But soon, his attention returned to the corpse demon he had just transformed, and his face showed joy.

"That's great. It's really a boss-level follower!"

Singo left with the scroll, and the half-giant corpse demon returned to the control of the [Undead Research Institute].

After all, the player is just renting it, and the ownership belongs to the empire official, more accurately, it belongs to the emperor himself, no, to this dragon.

"How long will this kind of life last?"

Orest looked at the slowly closing door and sighed deeply.

Transforming the undead is really a tiring job.

However, every time he transforms undead creatures for these "Starfallers", he will feel a pure energy similar to the soul flowing into his body, allowing him to continue to maintain the phylactery.

Perhaps he could reach true immortality in this way.

"Tsk"

"Thank my master."

The exhausted Lich sighed with emotion, but footsteps came again from outside the door, and the next player to transform undead creatures was about to arrive.

At this time, hundreds of players were lined up at the entrance of the Undead Research Institute.

However, Oreste did not know that in order to control the power of the lich, Cassius took up to 90% of the experience he gained.

Soon, news of the [Undead Research Institute] spread throughout the forum, and many players were jealous of those top followers who were comparable to bosses.

In this way, a vigorous "war for corpses" broke out in the empire, known as the "Great Excavation Movement."

Hundreds of thousands of players were roaming around the empire, digging graves, searching ruins, and even digging out fallen enemies from the soil, which astonished the natives.

The skeleton of a high-level warrior can be sold for hundreds of gold coins on the black market. Many people who are short of money even dig up their own ancestral graves and sell them to players.

At the same time, special industries such as coffin manufacturing and corpse embalming also flourished, resulting in the emergence of several "emerging enterprises."

Evil legends began to spread within the empire that "Starfallers like to eat old bones" and "they like aged bones best". (End of chapter)
