My cemetery is connected to the game world.

Chapter 424 New Members
At this moment, Helot, who was standing in the middle of the magic circle, saw and sensed something completely different from the recipient. He could clearly see everyone floating in the air and could sense their state when they were infinitely close to death.

Those with Claulund blood had a very strong response. The blood of the Old Ones was very active at this moment, constantly transmitting information from the death side back to the body. However, those outsiders without the blood of the Old Ones received much less feedback and could only stand on the borderline between life and death and watch.

Soon you will all be the same.

Firoro walked up to Helotte holding a candle with a flickering green flame. Helotte took out a special dagger and cut his palm.

Clench your fists and chant the mantra...

The red blood dripped onto the candle wick and instantly turned into a ball of red blood mist, wrapped in a ball of green light.

A line extended from the candlelight, and the blood mist moved along the light, drifting towards a floating, stiff body. The blood mist with the power of the Old Ones of Helot wrapped the body inside, and as the green light flickered, the power of the bloodline gradually penetrated from the skin into the body of the operator.

Helot could feel the new changes that the new power brought to this man. Death became clearer to him, and his affinity with the energy of death increased many times more than before.

At this moment, Helot also felt how much advantage he had over ordinary necromancers as he had the blood of the Old Ones. These people were the best among the gravekeepers, all of them had outstanding talents and were more diligent. However, the innate advantage brought by blood was too strong, especially as the power of the family cemetery was recovering, which further highlighted the power of the blood of the Old Ones.

A person receives the bloodline power bestowed by Helot.

A new drop of blood dripped, and the light of the candle connected to another body.

It didn't take too long for Helot to strengthen or endow the bloodlines of the Old Ones for the seventeen people. The spell was lifted, and light shone in from the window again. The seventeen people fell back to the floor together, and the magic arrays were extinguished layer by layer.

The door opened and the head maid Mai Nur walked in with her ghost maids and skeleton servants.

Mai Nur knelt down and saluted Helot: "Master, the rooms for the young master and the young ladies are ready."

Helot said, "They are still very weak as they were just about to die. Carry them back to the room to rest and replenish their recovery potions. They should be able to wake up before dinner. I will have dinner with my family."

"Yes, Master."

Mai Nur ordered the maids and servants to carry the unconscious person out of the room. The restoration of the family cemetery also restored their strength that had been suppressed for hundreds of years. Now they are no longer the undead that can be bullied by a few farmers at will.

Thinking of the family cemetery, Helot closed the tomb door behind him and said to Firoro, "Come with me to Tomorrow Group. I wonder if the batch of parts I ordered has been completed. If we can make another batch of chaos energy compressors, we can enter the third level of the cemetery."

"Is another Terror Knight about to be awakened?"

"Yes! The Claulund family will have another member. Let's go quickly, there is a dinner party waiting for us in the evening."

Helot took Firoro and called Brishney, got on the car driven by the cavalry, and drove out of the manor towards the city.

The sun moved from the east to the west in the sky, and the light of the sunset woke up Lasoga who was sleeping in bed.

He opened his eyes and found himself lying in an unfamiliar room. There was a soft and comfortable bed under him, and the surrounding decorations were very high-end, but he was a little confused.

What happened? Where am I?
Lasoga sat up and tried to recall...

The dream-like memories gradually emerged.

I was invited to the Helot Manor to be summoned by Mr. Claulund... Helot Manor is very beautiful... There are powerful undead everywhere... They are all servants of the Claulund family...

Then we followed the head maid up the stairs...

At this moment, Lasoga opened his eyes wide, and he stretched out his hand to observe, and a black light emerged from the palm of his hand. This was a feeling he had never had before, and the death energy became a part of his body, and it was tamed like a loyal dog raised from childhood.

He chanted a spell, and several black-armored warriors were summoned around the bed. The power emanating from the black armor was many times greater than before.

This... is this the power of the bloodline of the Old Ones?
Am I a member of the Claulund family now?

Lasoja Claulund will be my name from now on!

Lasoga still couldn't believe his own memory, but the power flowing in his blood told him that it was all true, and he was truly a member of the great Claulund family.

There was a knock on the door...

Lasoga immediately dismissed the summoned black-armored warrior, quickly stood up and stood beside the bed, and straightened his clothes: "Come in!"

The door opened and a ghost maid came in, holding a tray with a bottle of crystal-like potion on it.

"Good afternoon, Master Lasoga! Here is the recovery potion that the master specially prepared for you. It can restore the vitality you lost in the bloodline bestowal."

"Thank you... Just call me Lasoga." Lasoga picked up the potion bottle and drank it all in one gulp. He then felt the potion taking effect very quickly. The fatigue in his body was swept away and his condition recovered quickly.

The maid smiled and said, "You are now a member of the Claulund family. We are servants of the Claulund family and cannot call you by your name directly. How do you feel now?"

Lasoga didn't dare to act like a master in front of this maid. These were all undead who had served the first Duke of Clauland, and they exuded powerful strength.

Lasoga put the empty bottle on the tray. "I have never drunk a potion that is so effective. It can bring people back to life."

"Of course, this is a potion made by the master. If you can move now, you can go to the bathroom next door to take a shower, and I will get you a change of clothes. Dinner time is almost here, and the master is waiting to have dinner with his family."

As a member of the Claulund family and having dinner with the patriarch of the Claulund family, if someone had said these words to me earlier today, I would definitely have regarded it as a ridiculous joke.

But the reality is so surprising.

Lasoga's muscles were trembling with excitement: "I, I'll go wash up now."

It's time for dinner.

All the new members of the Claulund family changed into new clothes that suited their current status and came to the main dining room under the guidance of the manor servants.

The long dining table was covered with a white tablecloth, and the maids pushed a dining cart to place the prepared food on the table. The skeleton servants pulled out the chairs and invited the new members of the family to sit down.

Lasoga and the others sat down uncomfortably. Such a grand dinner made them feel very restrained and afraid of doing something impolite. Thinking about this dinner, Helot returned to the manor in time and walked into the restaurant without letting the family members wait too long.

He strode down to sit in the main seat and quenched his thirst by drinking the sweet wine that Kurt brought.

Then he said, "I can see that you are still a little uncomfortable with your new home. It's okay. Once you get familiar with it, you will find that there are not as many rules as you imagined. Let's eat now. You must be hungry. Let's eat and talk at the same time..."

By the way, if you want to eat something but can’t get it, just tell the servants behind you.”

Helot demonstrated by pointing to a juicy herring steak a little further away, and Kurt immediately walked over to get one for him.

Helot picked up his knife and fork and began to eat, with a glass of appetizer wine always at hand.

The family members followed suit and started eating. They hadn't eaten anything since morning, and recovering from near-death struggles had consumed a lot of their energy, so they were already very hungry.

Then they were quickly conquered by the food and became more relaxed.

While eating, Helot talked about his arrangements for the new members of the family.

The first thing is to systematically learn the magic of the dead again.

Butler Kurt will serve as their teacher and teach them the orthodox necromancy of the Claulund family.

Some of the new family members selected by Helotte this time have reached the extraordinary level of strength, such as Lasoga. After being endowed with the blood of the Old Ones and learning orthodox undead magic, Helotte believes that they can definitely have a rapid increase in strength in a short period of time.

All of them have reached the first level of extraordinary strength, and one or two people can break through to the second level of extraordinary strength.

There are some things that are not suitable for the undead to do, and outsiders are not suitable to represent the Claulund family. These new family members will take on these responsibilities.

Then Helot told them about the financial backer behind the prison... the prisoner.

According to the intelligence currently available, the prisoner is backed by one or more large biomedical groups, and they are multinational interests. They have extremely strong funds and technology, and are trying to use the bloody rebellion as an excuse to launch a civil war to subvert the empire.

Originally their plan was implemented very smoothly, but...

“I returned to the center of the Empire in the name of the head of the Claulund family, disrupted their plans, and caused divisions among the Prisoners.

Our position is very delicate now. Both the Emperor and the Executioner want to win over the Claulund Family. This brings both opportunities and dangers to us. As long as either of them thinks that the Claulund Family will completely turn to the other side, they will immediately list us as their mortal enemy, and the Claulund Family is still very weak now. "

The new family members stopped eating. Since they could make achievements in the art of necromancy, they must be no fools. They all understood the intention of the patriarch to recruit them to join the Claulund family.

Lasoga looked at the faces of the people around him and said to Helot, "Chief, we are all gravekeepers. Even if we have not joined the Claulund family, we are still one with the honor and disgrace of the Claulund family. Now we are all members of the family. Since the power of the blood of the Old Ones flows in our blood, we will also bear the responsibilities bestowed upon us by this great family name.

No matter what happens, we will firmly support the patriarch!"

"Of course I believe in you, that's why I let you join the Claulund family." Those who can sit here have all been carefully examined by Helot, and their talents, willpower, wisdom... must meet the requirements. Helot continued, "It is certain that in this civil war that is very likely to break out, all parties will not allow the Claulund family to stay out of it. Therefore, we must actively intervene and recognize our opponents, so that we can find the right way to protect the family in the fog."

Lasoga: "Whatever you need us to do, please give us instructions, Chieftain."

Helot smiled and said, "The most important thing for you now is to improve your own strength, and then manage the cemetery on the mountain. Attending more funerals will be of great help in your understanding of death."

Helot did not give tasks to the new members of the family too early, as the family did not need them to charge into battle now.

Dinner continued, and since the family members were all excellent necromancers, they naturally turned the topic to necromancy. Various questions were raised, and Helot simply asked Mai Nur to bring a blackboard and start teaching necromancy directly in the restaurant.

Sorting out Master Laem's manuscripts allowed Helot to stand on the "shoulders of giants" from the beginning of his contact with necromancy. Being in the starry sky of the Immortal Tower of the Rotten Royal Court gave him an extremely huge reserve of knowledge. Therefore, even though he had only been studying necromancy for more than a year, the necromancers at the table who had studied necromancy for more than ten years or even decades were like elementary school students in front of him.

As he spoke excitedly, Helot ate bread in one hand and wrote with chalk in the other. His master-level understanding of magic not only fascinated the necromancers, but also the undead servants.

At this moment, all the empires, families, and executioners were forgotten.

Intrigue, deception, vying for fame and fortune...how can these things compare to the physical and mental pleasure that magic brings to people?

But people live in reality, and even if you don’t like doing some things, you have to do them because of the burdens you have.

A servant walked into the restaurant and whispered something in Kurt's ear. Kurt thought about it and decided to interrupt Helot's problem solving.

"Master, the Third Prince is here and he said he has something important to discuss with you."

It must be a big deal if Terenas could come here on his own initiative.

Helot had to end the dinner teaching and go to see Terenas.

Terenas was arranged in a high-standard reception room. He was very surprised to see the undead servants everywhere in the manor. When he saw Helot, the first thing he asked was: "Are all the undead servants in your family passed down from the first generation of undead dukes?"

Helot asked Terenas to sit down and asked Mai Nur to serve tea. Then he said, "Not all of them were passed down from the first generation of ancestors. Some were passed down from the second generation of ancestors."

"This... seems to be about the same."

"Almost." Helot looked out the window. It was already night. He then asked Terenas, "Why did you come to see me at night? What's so important?"

Terenas took out a book and gave it to Helot: "Have you read this book?"

Helot took it and found the cover of the book very familiar.

A withered red rose, its nine fallen petals are broken like wronged ghosts, and the three remaining petals are crumbling.

The name of the book is "Blood Rose".

"I haven't seen it, but it should be related to the prisoner, right?"
