My cemetery is connected to the game world.

Chapter 423 Family
After attending the first funeral in the cemetery, Helot returned to the newly built manor.

Since the manor was rebuilt on the site of the original villa, most of the original layout and architectural style were retained. Kurt, the butler who supervised the construction of the manor, did not deliberately add undead style decoration. The world has entered a new era, and the Claulund family also needs to keep up with the pace of change.

The main building of the manor is designed with many large French windows and skylights. The transparent glass makes the interior space very spacious and bright. The furniture is also mostly the most fashionable style. The undead servants are trying hard to learn how to use these modern things.

At this time, more than a dozen people gathered in the main building's lobby, and the smooth marble floor reflected their uneasy expressions. On both sides of the lobby stood ten spirit armors, which were actually upgraded to armored warriors. Inside the full body armor was a flexible mechanical body. They seemed to be deliberately showing off, changing their standing postures from time to time.

There are also busy ghost maids who are very busy moving in and out of the walls.

The skeleton servants carefully wiped every corner of the house.

This is their new home, and they believe that it will soon be like the Clauland Manor it once was, with guests visiting every day.

The people waiting in the hall looked at everything in front of them, and when they thought about the upcoming audience with Mr. Claulund, they became even more nervous.

"Lasoga, Mr. Claulund summoned us here, what did he want to do?"

Standing in front of the crowd was Lasoga, the founder of the Ordained Ones. He had been seriously injured several times in battles with the Corpse Stitchers, leaving several scars on his face.

In response to his companion's question, Lasoga whispered, "I don't know either. Maybe Mr. Claulund wants to reward us."

"I think so too. What do you think Mr. Claulund will reward us with?"

"I think Mr. Claulund will give us a good sum of money."

"I hope Mr. Claulund can teach us some gravekeeper magic. Although I am a descendant of the Claulund family, a lot of the undead magic passed down is missing."

"Do you think Mr. Claulund will give us some undead servants?"

"I want to stay here as a servant."

"Hahaha……"

The crowd discussed in low voices.

Not long after, a ghost maid floated in front of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to have kept you waiting. I am the head maid of the Claulund family. You can call me Mai Nur. The master has just returned from a funeral and is now summoning you.

Please follow me...don't be nervous, our host is a very easy-going person."

Mai Nur floated up the stairs facing the hall, and Lasoga followed with the members of the ordained group.

The undead encountered along the way all showed excellent manners, and even non-necromancers would not be afraid of them.

Led by Mai Nur, the team walked into a room on the third floor.

A large magic circle was lit up on the floor of the dark room. Helot was standing in the middle of the magic circle. He was wearing an ancient magic robe. The "Old Code" was floating beside him, and the pages were slowly turning.

Firoro stood beside him, holding a thick candle in both hands, with a green flame burning in the candle core. Mai Nur led the people in and then left.

Lasoga led everyone to salute Helot: "Salute to Claulund!"

Helot said: "I am very happy that there are still people who adhere to the principles of gravekeepers and have not let the magic of the dead become something that is completely despised by the world. You have proved with your actions that you have not deviated from the rules set by the ancestors of Claulund for gravekeepers, and the Claulund family will not let you down for the perseverance passed down from generation to generation.

Now, as the patriarch of the Claulund family, I invite you all to join the Claulund family.

Those who are willing to become my family, please stand on the light spot on the magic circle. If you are not willing, you can leave, and the Claulund family will give you another reward..."

The sudden surprise made everyone feel a little dizzy and they couldn't believe what they had just heard.

They had just thought of all the rewards they could think of, but they had never thought that they could join the Claulund family. And it was a real joining, not becoming a vassal of the Claulund family.

He was originally a descendant of the Claulund family. When he came to his senses, he immediately stood on the light spot on the magic circle.

Lasoga and several people who were not descendants of the Claulund family seemed a little hesitant.

Lasoga asked uncertainly: "Mr. Claulund, does joining the Claulund family also include those of us who are not named Claulund?"

Helot replied: "In principle, the Claulund family does not accept people without the blood of the Old Ones, but the descendants of Claulund now probably don't have much family blood. I created this magic circle because I wanted to use my blood to give people the power of the Old Ones. Although it's not much, it can effectively enhance your understanding of undead magic.

I remind you that if you have the blood of the Old Ones, you must change your surname to Claulund."

In the Immortal Tower of the Rotten King's Court, there is a discussion group that specializes in studying bloodlines. With the research and cracking of the bloodline sealing array, more and more secrets of bloodlines are revealed to Helot. Now he can use magic arrays to complete low-dose bloodline inheritance. Facing the possible outbreak of a new bloody chaos, the Claulund family, which can no longer stay out of it, needs the joint protection of the clansmen.

Lasoga and his friends had never expected that they would not only be allowed to join the Claulund family, but also be given the bloodline of the Old Ones. These were the thirteen most noble bloodlines in the empire, and no matter how rare, they were not something that ordinary people could aspire to have.

No one refused this great reward.

If it weren't for the fact that the Claulund family was short of people, I wouldn't have had the chance to encounter such a good thing.

Lasoga and the others immediately found the light spot on the magic circle and stood on it.

No one left and the door of the room slowly closed.

The glowing magic circle went out instantly, and the room fell into darkness.

As the sound of the tomb door opening rang in everyone's ears, they felt that the space they were in was extending infinitely. Then, a low roar of an unknown beast sounded, and the temperature of the space rose rapidly. Then they realized that it was not the temperature that was rising, but their body temperature that was falling.

Helot's voice sounded at this time.

"To receive the bloodline of the Old Ones, you need to enter a near-death state. Feel as much as possible what is on the other side of death. This may be the only time for you as a living being to observe death at such a close distance. It will benefit you for the rest of your life..."

The sound ended, and everyone floated in the air, their bodies stiffened, their pupils dilated, their hearts stopped beating, and all bodily functions lost vitality.
