Breath of the Dead

Chapter 11 The Dead City (please follow up)

 “This city is dead.”

 Looking around, Gu Xi said this directly.

As a necromancer, Gu Xi could clearly feel that the land in front of him was filled with the aura of death.

This kind of breath is not the breath of death produced when too many undead and negative energy accumulate.

 But the ethereal feeling that the whole city has died.

Standing on this land, Gu Xi had the feeling that a giant whale had fallen and that he was in the body of a giant whale.

At this moment, Luna also floated over, stuck behind Gu Xi, and whispered in his ear.

 “My lord, take this city.”

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment. Take this city? Is it the abandoned castle in front of me that is about to collapse, or...

Gu Xi was looking around, and he suddenly realized that the place in front of him seemed really interesting.

Although the castle in front of him collapsed, the area and original materials were still there. Gu Xi could tell at a glance that the place in front of him was used for military and residential purposes.

As a necromancer, if he really captures this city, he will have a place to station his troops in the future.

Just when Gu Xi was about to agree, Luna flew towards the gate of the castle.

As she was flying, she turned back to look at Gu Xi.

 “Come on, hurry up!”

This time Gu Xi was a little confused.

Didn’t you say that you want to occupy the castle in front of you? Why did you run away like that?

Although he didn't understand, Gu Xi still believed in Luna, and he quickly ran after her.

 At the same time, behind him, one hundred and eighty skeletons also moved together.

The skeletons that formed the combat team all moved forward in teams. Those skeletons that were not included in the combat team followed Gu Xi in a swarm, bumping into each other and making clicking sounds.

But now Gu Xi didn't have any thoughts to pay attention to this. He followed Luna out of the gate of the castle. Gu Xi discovered that the city Luna wanted was not the castle in front of him.

 Instead, there is a huge, empty city in front of us.

 The fake city of Victoria City in the legend.

The city in front of us obviously has an architectural style from the 15th and 16th centuries. The layout of the city is a bit messy, and the stone houses seem to have been built randomly without a plan.

 The ground is quite clean, nothing like the streets of the 15th or 16th centuries.

However, Gu Xi noticed that the city in front of him, like the castle, was filled with a sense of death.

 It’s like this city has died long ago.

Although the buildings in the city in front of him were still there, Gu Xi felt that he had entered a dead city.

While Gu Xi was surprised at the situation in the city in front of him, he suddenly heard Luna's words.

 “Alidovi.”

"What?"

 Gu Xi was shocked and couldn't help but say something.

Luna finally came back to her senses at this time, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

 “No, what did you just say, Yali...”

"No." Luna shook her head affirmatively. She had no memory of what she had just said.

Seeing Luna's expression, Gu Xi calmed down.

Looking at the not too big city in front of him, Gu Xi suddenly had a thought in his mind.

Luna can’t be the elf of this city.

He has heard before that if a city is relatively old, or the city is special, city elves will slowly emerge as the guardians of the city.

If Luna were the elf of this city, then her reaction just now would make sense. In a city that has just died, even if the elves become contracted undead due to concerns about rest, they will still have a certain attachment to the city.

If they had not come to this city, Gu Xi might have used Luna as an ordinary contracted undead.

 After leaving this game world, Gu Xi will think of ways to strengthen his undead army. If possible, he will contract a powerful undead when he reaches level 3.

 But the situation is different now. After arriving in this fake mirror city and knowing the possibility of Luna's identity, Gu Xi naturally has more choices.

“Luna, lead the way, don’t be afraid, I will always stand behind you.”

The thoughts in his mind just turned around, and Gu Xi quickly made a decision.

 “Yes, but I don’t know where to go.”

 Luna hesitated and said.

“It’s okay, you can go wherever you want, according to your own will.”

Gu Xi comforted Luna.

Under Gu Xi's comfort, Luna calmed down, and her empty eyes looked toward a certain direction outside the city.

　　When Gu Xi didn’t say anything before, Luna didn’t feel anything.

 It was different now. Now Luna had an urge to go there immediately.

 While talking, Gu Xi was always paying attention to Luna's emotional reaction.

 As soon as he saw Luna's expression, Gu Xi knew something was up.

 “Don’t think too much, let’s go.”

When Luna heard this, it was exactly what Gu Xi said. She didn't care about the road ahead and went straight to the place that attracted her.

 Gu Xi followed Luna. Beside him were four combat teams and miscellaneous skeletons.

After rushing out of the city, Gu Xi looked back and found that the castle behind him was hidden in the mist.

It seems that the completely abandoned city is just the entrance and exit to the city in front of you, just like the legend in Victoria.

You may not have felt anything like it in the castle before, but it's different now.

 The castle disappearing into the mist means that there is no way back.

Gu Xi was thinking about this when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from beside him.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that deep in the mist, there seemed to be a figure flickering.

Gu Xi glanced at Luna who was walking forward regardless, and pointed at a skeleton.

 This skeleton did not react at all.

 Gu Xi was somewhat angry about this.

This kind of summoned undead is not as useful as the contracted undead.

 There are some things that must be ordered before they will do them. If they don’t order or take smaller actions, they simply know what they want to do.

I would just follow Gu Xi on a daily basis, and when I saw the enemy, he would rush up and chop at him.

Gu Xi was used to Luna helping to communicate with these undead, but he didn't expect that something happened to Luna now, and his command almost became a problem.

Fortunately, Gu Xi reacted quickly. He pointed at the skeleton and said, "You, go into the mist and see what those figures are doing. Other skeletons are gathering towards me."

 Under Gu Xi’s order, the skeletons moved quickly.

As soon as the skeletons moved like this, Gu Xi suddenly discovered a situation. At some point, an enemy had sneaked into his team.

It’s the new book issue, so please help me by giving me follow-up readings, recommendations, etc. Thank you!
