Chapter 412: Player's Undead Minion (II)
"Oh? So this is the new event?"
Upon receiving the news, Singo instantly mounted his Wyvern and sped toward the location.
"Land here."
"Tch. Already late. Why didn’t the Official side leak any info beforehand?"
Perched atop his Two-Headed Dragon, Singo watched as the beast spread its massive wings and slowly spiraled down, finally landing on the Dragon Landing Field near Ashen Emperor's Square.
Lately, Isdalia’s traffic regulations had grown stricter—Urban Appearance Administration Tiefling Guards patrolled the streets constantly. Even as an Imperial Viscount, Singo couldn’t afford to recklessly park his Wyvern without drawing a fine.
It was said that Chief Minister Lanpu himself had once paid a penalty in person. Ever since, no Dragon-Blooded Noble dared flout the rules—least of all the most ferocious, brutal Ogres, who now obediently waited their turn.
"Still... no need to mingle with these commoners."
Singo pulled out a finely crafted telescope, inlaid with golden thread, and trained it toward the distant bulletin board.
This was the Guard Post’s special gear for Crimson Scale Conquerors—Dragon’s Eye. More than just a magnifying lens, it was imbued with an All-Knowing Spell capable of detecting magical fluctuations. With it, Singo could clearly read the notice—though the image had already gone viral across the Forum.

Empire of Ashen’s New Event Location —
【Undead Research Institute】
Officially Opened on New Era 1786, October 11th!
[Description: Deep within the western Kerbi Mountains of the Kingdom of Cart lies the terrifying Valley of Confusion. Wailing echoes through its depths. It is said that anyone who enters never finds their way out—doomed to wander forever as lost, tormented souls.]
[According to fragments left by long-dead Minstrels, a fearsome Lich dwells in this valley. Known as the "Soul Cantor," it is the nightmare of all living beings—the Shepherd of the Shades, Envoy of Milcor.]
"Wait... this description..."
"Feels awfully like a horror dungeon."
Singo frowned slightly. He’d used Experience Points to exchange knowledge from the Empire Necromancy Spell Encyclopedia, and knew full well the nature of a Lich: cunning, deranged immortals, each a master spellcaster on par with legendary Necromancers—far beyond the reach of any current Player.
"Are we supposed to go hunt a Lich?"
He voiced the question aloud.
But the notice took a sharp turn—shifting into the familiar, loyalty-laden tone Players had come to expect.
[But now, under the radiant glory of the invincible King Kai Xiusu, the vast Anzeta Great Wasteland has been brought under the leadership of the mighty Empire of Ashen. Even the Lich, humbled by the King’s strength and virtue, has willingly pledged allegiance to the Empire!]
[Once forbidden to all living souls, the Valley of Confusion now stands reborn—transformed into the Empire’s new 【Undead Research Institute】. We are dedicated to ensuring every Undead contributes meaningfully to the Empire’s advancement!]
Event Organizer: Soul Cantor – Orestes
Event Details:
Bring as many complete Corpses and Skeletons as possible to the 【Undead Research Institute】, and seek out the head researcher: Eternal Soul Chanting – Orestes.
Present your Corpses and Skeletons to the Lich. After spending a certain amount of Experience Points (XP) and gold coins, you’ll receive a Special Item:
【Undead Minion Rental Contract】
(Note: This item is permanently valid. You may summon and transform your Undead Minion up to three times per day, each session lasting fifteen minutes.)
(The strength of your Undead Minion depends on the original power of the corpse and the conversion type.)
"...A permanent servant?"
Singo’s pupils narrowed. The significance of this event struck him instantly. This meant he could resurrect every Boss he’d slain in the past—pulling them from their graves and transforming them into loyal companions!
And the contract? Permanently valid. Three summoning chances every day—like having three Gundam-sized minions at his disposal!
"Official’s latest event... is incredibly generous!" He couldn’t help but marvel.
At this stage, even Players specializing in Necromancy could only produce the weakest Skeletons. Without access to artifacts like the Skeletal Staff of Milcor, their undead would collapse back into common skeletons within hours—useless to high-tier Players.
But this? This was game-changing. He could even turn past Bosses into personal retainers!
"'Corpse Summoning Build' might finally be viable!"
He had to act fast—before the elite guilds with their massive manpower seized every valuable corpse.
Singo’s gaze sharpened. With a swift motion, he untied the rope securing his Wyvern’s front saddle and effortlessly swung onto its back.
"Two-Headed Dragon, move out!"
"Awooo~"
The Wyvern roared, flapping its wings, and shot toward the south-western suburbs—where Singo had once soloed a Bandit Hideout.
Inside that cave stood a Half-Giant Bloodline Bandit Boss, towering thirteen feet tall, with a Challenge Rating of Gundam-level nine. Singo had outsmarted him with poison. Now, the corpse was perfectly suited for use.
At the same time, he sent a message to the group chat.
Singo: Hurry and secure Corpses!
I Eat Stuffed Bun: ?
I Eat Stuffed Bun: Are you insane?
Tian Sheng Zhan Kuang: Stuffed Bun, check the Forum. This is the newest event.
Tian Sheng Zhan Kuang: Rumor has it the top Elite Guild leaders have gone absolutely mad—fighting over the Frost Giant Battlefield with hundreds of members. The scene? Unreal.

I Eat Stuffed Bun: Seriously?
Xia Ye Qiu Yu: I’m floored... I burned all my Bosses to ash. (TT)
"ROOOOOOOOAAARRR!"
The Wyvern let out a long, echoing roar before circling down onto a hillside, landing beside a hidden cave—well-concealed and easy to miss.
Singo acted swiftly. He reached the bandit stronghold in no time.
"Perfect!"
"No one’s discovered this base yet!"
Without hesitation, he wrapped the Half-Giant Chieftain’s corpse—still buzzing with flies, reeking of decay—in thick cloth. The corpse, already swollen and rotten from days of fermentation, had become a full-blown Giant Spectacle—a grotesque monument to death. But Singo didn’t care. If anything, he felt a thrill.
After struggling to "pack" the corpse properly, he shouted:
"Two-Headed Dragon—head to the Duchy of Carter!"
"Huh?"
Even the Wyvern, a scavenger with a taste for rot, tilted its head in disgust, pawing at its nose.
"Never mind. Grab that corpse. We’re running out of time."
"Awooo!"
Under his master’s command, the Wyvern reluctantly lifted the stinking bundle—its foul odor seeping through the textiles—and took flight.
But Ancestral Wyverns were strong, and fast. Within no time, they crossed half of Anzeta, finally arriving at the western edge of the Duchy of Carter—where the Valley of Confusion lay, the true location of the 【Undead Research Institute】.
"Phew... still not too late."
Singo wiped sweat from his brow as he sat atop his dragon.
Before the institute’s gate, a dozen people already waited in line—dragging Corpses, Skeletons, and even one man lugging a coffin.
