Were it not for the pervasive aura of decay surrounding it, one might easily mistake it for a human from a distance.

At this point, Sun Shia Shao emerged after finishing her lunch and was takenback by the sight of new undead emerging from the black water of the altar.

Crawling from the bodies of the goblins, suddenly recalling by us earlier warning, she wondered if she too might end up as a pile of bones if she inadvertently stepped inside.

"Sister Bai, this must be a special structure, right?" she inquired.

Each Lord s castle has a slightly different internal layout.

And since Sun Sha Sha and Bayou occupied the same area, there wasn't too much distinction between their castles.

In other regions, the majority of castle construction materials are sourced locally.

For instance, Lin Jean of the Flame Spirit built his castle from obsidian, while Xiao Linua of the Xiao orphans utilize stones from the nearby mountains.

Ah, it can continuously summon undead as long as there are corpses available.

Wow, that is impressive.

No wonder the formidable lord commands such a diverse array of troops.

Why am I not so fortunate as to acquire a special structure? Son Shia Sha mused quietly.

Bayou then noticed something a miss.

The 120 goblins summoned yielded only the original five types of troops.

Skeleton soldiers, zombies, wraiths, death knights, and gargoyles.

Surprisingly, there were no bone dragons or ghost dragons.

Logically, my US level seven barracks had already unlocked bone dragons and ghost dragons.

Why could they not be summoned? Oh no, this is problematic.

What should I do about this barracks messing with my mindset? Bayou had been contemplating the creation of an army of bone dragons, but her plans had been thwarted before they even commenced.

This seems to be a hidden attribute that the system does not denote.

Perhaps the barracks level is too low, or it might be related to the Blackwater altar.

Next time by you resolved to conduct her own summoning experiment.

Decompose.

Congratulations Lord for successfully decomposing.

Just like the goblins, no food was dropped.

Could it be due to being a wise species? Yet, that doesn't seem right.

The Howling Moon Silverwolf is also a wise species and drops food.

It appears that it is not entirely consistent as the howling moon silver wolf strictly speaking should be classified as a semi-intelligent creature since lower level howling moon silver wolves lack intelligence.

Regardless, who needs that little bit of food? The greatest gain this time is undoubtedly the 79 spirit cores.

Chapter 61.

The intrusion of the mistress in an instant.

The core was sufficient once more.

Yet, the upgrade of the barracks still required over 9,000 magic crystals.

First, I shall sell these pieces of equipment to earn some magic crystals and then devise other methods for the remaining ones.

Alas, crab yellow fortress initiate a trade.

One piece of ordinary grade equipment exchange for 10 magic crystals or five iron ingots.

Remaining quantity 118 pieces.

One piece of commander grade equipment exchange for 300 magic crystals or 150 iron ingots.

Remaining quantity, two pieces.

Son Sha Shia observed by you skillfully placing these weapons and equipment on the market, feeling a twinge of envy.

Is this how the elites amass wealth? Why does it differ so greatly from my own gaming experience? While I toil daily for sustenance and fret over the fate of my troops, these elites are on the brink of financial independence.

Sun Sha Sha could not help but wonder if Bayu possessed an unseen system bestowing her advantages.

Son Shia Sha opened the world chat to gauge the reactions of the various lords.

Mountain does not see me.

The elite has listed more weapons.

Everyone rush to secure them.

Night queen, a bunch of ordinary weapons, and you all are so excited.

What a bunch of simpleans.

Great sage equal to heaven.

Look at you lot.

So naive and inexperienced, son.

Shia Sha chimed in gleefully.

Little drill wind, great sage equal to heaven.

Have you found the lord who defeated your troops yet? Multiple messages omitted.

Great sage equal to heaven.

Little drill wind.

I found him.

He goes by the name of an Mai.

The esteemed individual beside me is none other than the top tier lord of Crab Yellow Fortress.

I am now his subordinate.

So mind your words.

In an instant, Son Shia Shao transformed into a keyboard warrior in the world chat, and her boastful remarks drew the attention of numerous lords, all envious of her association with such a prominent figure.

This news was far more thrilling than the sale of equipment by the elite.

Frantic brawler, "Holy cow, you are beyond lucky.

What type of troops does the Lord of crab yellow fortress command? Please enlighten us, great sage, equal to heaven, affanti, what level is this elite? How infuriating to be born beside an elite and yet be accepted as a subordinate.

I declare you the chosen one.

Great sage equal to heaven.

Bubbles.

So you were defeated by the elite s troops then sought him out and became his subordinate.

This is something even a novel's protagonist wouldn't t dare to write.

Aku seeing this is more painful than being defeated myself.

A multitude of lords began to tag Sun Sha Sha, and the name great sage equal to heaven was swiftly remembered by many.

Son Shia Sha gazed at these unfortunate souls.

Unable to suppress a smile, they even inquired about Sister B's troops as if they deemed her a fool.

Bayou, of course, noticed the chatter in the world chat, but to her it was inconsequential.

The chatter was merely from struggling lords.

True elites would behave differently.

They would not engage with the world chat at all.

No, they would observe silently, akin to Bayou, lurking in the shadows without uttering a word.

As fate would have it, Xiaoi and Shua happened to catch wind of this news.

What? Someone has become the elites subordinate before me.

Ah, how infuriating indeed.

Familiarity cannot compare to the spark of instant attraction.

In the castle courtyard, the dwarves gazed at Xiao Lianua in perplexity, unable to comprehend her peculiar behavior.

Are all human women like this? At that moment, Xiao Yianu was seething with indignation.

That monkey is rather fortunate.

INi, what right does he have to be born near a prominent castle while she is left to consort with the stones of the mountains? When the dwarves sought refuge with Xiao Liua, she had inquired about some fundamental information regarding this magical continent, even earlier than Bayu had.

The vicinity of Xiao Yianua's castle was nothing but mountains for a 100 kilometers, devoid of life, and not a single lordly castle in sight.

No wonder the belleaguered dwarves flocked this way.

Could it be that this wretched monkey, a strikingly handsome figure, bewitched the prominent lord and offered himself willingly? Yes, it is quite possible that despicable creature resorted to base seduction to ensnare the Lord.

Had she known, she would have directly submitted to the Lord from the outset.

Now she suddenly finds herself contending with a rival for affection.

Xiao Yinshua continued her fervent brainstorming.

Meanwhile, Bayu was already seated in the grand hall, engaged in conversation with Sunsha Sha.

Having spent so long in this foreign realm without a single person to converse with, it was undeniably vexing.

They were also awaiting the completion of a transaction at the trading post, after which Bayou would be able to upgrade the barracks once more.

As the afternoon wore on, Sunshow Sha prepared to return to her own castle.

Bayou courteously insisted she stay, considering there were ample rooms in the castle, and accommodating one more guest posed no issue.

However, Sun Shia Sha declined, expressing concern for her blood magic ape, fearing it would go hungry and wreak havoc in her absence.

Bayou understanding did not press the matter.
