Chapter 111 - ill, Little You_1
Returning to his territory.
The skeleton soldiers sorted all the booty they carried.
Some were sent to the warehouse, others to the storage places for basic supplies.
Anjia walked into the hall, casually tossing a bag filled with various blueprints and an energy core to Fang Hao.
The latter received it and added it all to the Book of Lords.
Compared to the jewels gleaned from the outside, these blueprints are the true rewards.
“That little ghost is waiting outside, should we let her in?” Anjia grabbed some fruit and began eating as she spoke.
The wandering spirit from the ancient tomb, had not officially joined the
territory and was considered an outdoor soldier.
With Anjia’s guidance, she could enter the territory, but if she wanted to enter
the Lord’s mansion, she needed Fang Hao’s permission.
Otherwise, it would be deemed as an attack, and she would come under attack by the soldiers within the territory.
“Let her in,” said Fang Hao.
Anjia went to the door and led the wandering spirit inside.
Not long after.
Anjia returned, followed by the drifting figure of a woman in spirit form.
As she entered the lord’s hall,
There was a look of surprise on the spectre’s face when she saw Fang Hao on the white bone throne.
She was a bit slow to react, the lord she had just seen was a skeleton, and now he appeared in human form.
“Wandering Spirit, I am giving you a chance. Do you want to join our territory?
If so, I can sign a contract with you. If not, you are free to leave,” Fang Hao sat on his throne, his face solemn.
Without any hesitation, the spirit hiked up her transparent dress a little and
bowed slightly, “Respected lord, I am willing to join your territory.”
On the way here, Anjia had not restricted her freedom,
She was free to follow the procession.
If she wanted to leave, she could do so at any time, and no one would stop her.
By the time she made it to Fang Hao, she had already made her choice.
“Good.” Fang Hao did not waste words, he directly opened the Book of Lords, chose a blank slave contract, and signed it with the ghost.
Unlike contracts with living creatures,
The spectre did not need to imprint her hand in blood. After both parties agreed,
An ash-blue fingerprint automatically appeared on the slave’s space.
The contractual process was complete.
[The spectre, her current loyalty to you is 70 points.]
Perhaps because they are both from the undead camp,
The spectre’s initial loyalty reached 70 points directly.
“What’s your name?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
Being the first female ghost in the territory, he should at least know her name when they meet.
-My lord, I have no name. Please, could you give me one?” The spectre floated there as she spoke.
Ah…this was a problem…
Naming someone was a challenging task.
Under her expectant gaze, Fang Hao directly said, “You’re a girl, so how about
Little You? I hope that you are carefree and untroubled in the future.”
“Thank you, my lord. I really like this name. I will be called Little You from now on,” Little You smiled slightly.
However, her smile was slightly chilling on the face of a ghost.
[The spectre Little You’s loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, the current loyalty is 75 points.]
Fang Hao also gave a slight smile.
Indeed, a pleasant conversation does wonders.
Immediately, he began to look at Little You’s stats.
[Spectre (Tier 3)]
[Faction: Undead]
[Racial Traits: Undead, Ethereal, Vulnerable to Light]
[Skills: Spirit Possession, Dark Void, Unfinished Business]
[Innate Abilities: Junior Combat Mastery] [Ethereal]: All physical damage is reduced by 25%.
[Spirit Possession]: The spirit can possess a living target for extended periods. (Variables such as the target’s rank, conscious awareness, intention, etc., affect the success rate of possession.)
[Dark Void]: Existing in the darkness, the spirit body is not restricted by terrain.
[Unfinished Business]: Unfulfilled wishes from life, assist the spirit in completing its wishes, and there’s a chance that it may recover its memories and evolve into a hero.
(Wishes: Gather her collection of 12 Swords of Absolution from when she was alive.)
(Notes: They are bound here, neither eating nor sleeping, constanting reliving the agony of their impending death.)
As expected…
This spirit is no ordinary undead.
Not only does it possess many skills, but it also carries a unique storyline. If I can fulfill her wishes, there’s a chance that she could evolve into a hero.
Fang Hao looked back at the spirit and asked, “Little You, do you know of the 12 Swords of Absolution?”
Little You’s figure wavered and she responded curiously, “Are they weapons? I don’t know much about weapons.”
It’s probably due to a loss of memory.
It seems like I will have to find the 12 Swords of Absolution myself.
“Alright then, welcome to the team. Familiarize yourself with the territory. I’ll build you a house after dinner. From then on, you’ll live there,” said Fang Hao. “Thank you, my Lord.” She said and then floated out of the Manor.
After Little You left, Eira’s dinner was ready.
The two of them sat down to eat at the dining table.
Fang Hao habitually opened the Book of Lords, browsing through it while eating.
Anjia was enthusiastic and narrated their adventure in the ancient tomb today to Eira while describing the origins of the female ghost in their territory.
Eira listened with wide eyes, both scared and filled with curiosity about the upcoming events.
After dinner…
Fang Hao exited the room.
He happened to see Little You, floating in from afar.
The sky was getting dark, and if it weren’t for the streetlights lit by Nightstone, it would have been challenging to spot her figure in the dark.
“My Lord,” Little You said softly.
Most of the territory is inhabited by the Skeletons. Little You had toured around the territory and familiarized herself with the surroundings.
-Well, there aren’t many rules around the territory. Just stay away from the Viscera Museum, avoid hurting others, and feel free to reach out to me if there’s any issue.” As Fang Hao moved, he softly instructed.
The Corpse Witch – Nelson’s standing in the territory was only second to Fang Hao’s.
Whether it was his knowledge or the ability to create skeleton heroes, both were enough for him to garner this treatment.
As such, not interfering with Nelson’s work was of great importance.
-As you command, my Lord. I will remember your orders.” Little You followed behind softly.
The two of them, one leading the other, arrived at the area near the Undead construction.
-I’ll build your house here, is that okay with you?” Fang Hao said.
Even though spirits are undead and intangible, they still need a place of rest.
“Yes, my Lord.”
Fang Hao nodded, opened the Book of Lords, found the housing section, and constructed directly.
Bright lights flashed, and a wooden house appeared before Fang Hao.
Then, he immediately upgraded the wooden house to level 4, transforming it into a two-story building.
[Little You’s loyalty towards you increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 8o points.]
After the construction of the house, Little You joyfully twirled in the air. Her loyalty also increased.
It seems that a house indeed provides a sense of safety for women, an age-old truth.
“The storeroom is full of furniture. Look for what you need, and I will instruct the skeletons to move them into your room.”
The furniture in the territory was all scavenged from various tribes. They were unsellable and useless otherwise.
Everything was piled up in the storage area.
“Thank you, my Lord. Speaking of furniture, I noticed a wooden coffin in the corner of the storeroom, may I have it?” Little You said.
“A coffin?”
Fang Hao frowned, trying to recall when there was a coffin in the storeroom. He then remembered that there indeed was a coffin.
[Beautiful Corpse Coffin]..
