This is deep in the grassland. I don’t know why, but I can see a ruin in the grassland without human traces. I don’t know who is so interested in living in such a place where birds don’t have diarrhea.

Without the two old burdens on the team, Qingyi could kill more happily. Along the way, he kept practicing his ability to control distractions. The summons became more and more coordinated with each other, and there were fewer and fewer mistakes. His skills

The connection is getting smoother and smoother. It will soon reach level 15.

Well, it’s time to go back and learn skills!

Qingyi turned around and said with a smile: "Let's go back to the city——"

His laughter stopped suddenly, and the four summoners looked at him blankly. Just for a short moment, he thought he was still fighting monsters and leveling up with his teammates, thinking that he was still in that happy and fake scene.

"Let's go."

Without any emotion, he walked towards his city.

"Then... that adult, please stay!"

"Who!" Qingyi suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at the person who called him.

Maybe his voice was too harsh, which made the man tremble. He was a short guy standing in the ruins, wearing a black cloak, and under the hood was a slightly green baby face.

. He touched the wall with one hand, half-shrinking slightly furtively. In the shadow, his eyes were shining brightly.

Oh, high-level NPC? Qingyi's expression softened and he pointed his sword downward, but he still did not relax his guard: "I am the King of the Undead, June Sunshine. Who are you?" He quickly opened the [Eye of the Soul]

], Well, the soul fire of this NPC is indeed only slightly worse than Master Patra.

"Ah, he turned out to be a noble king! My name is Strum, and I am an alchemist. This is my laboratory." As soon as this guy heard Qingyi's name, he quickly took off his hood and got up.

He walked forward with a courtesy reserved only for mages. He was a decent-looking young man with flaxen hair, blue skin, and a few screws stuck unexpectedly in his head. His overall appearance was like Frankenstein in a science fiction story.

"What's the matter with stopping me?" Qingyi's expression softened when he discovered that this was an alchemist, and even his tone became much better. It seems that the other party set up the laboratory because he didn't want to be disturbed.

A remote place.

"It's like this. Since my death, I haven't seen anyone walking into the hinterland of the grassland. You know, the ghost wolves here are so scary that even I don't dare to leave the laboratory. But I can't go out to collect materials.

The progress of the experiment was forced to slow down..."

"so what?"

The young alchemist's face started to turn red: "I urgently need a noble person who can provide experimental materials. If possible... I will be happy to help you!"

———————————————————————————————————

Potion...

There's no point in making potions! The city is full of undead creatures that can only rely on self-recovery. How can you drink a potion? Why do you have to pay for "all the expenses of the experiment"? Your sister will just explode.

Things, just rebuilding the laboratory accounts for a large part of the cost! Speaking of laboratories, it is not difficult to build a building, but can those precision instruments be built? And where can I get you the books in the library?

?!I know that I am completely broke right now?! There is also a [Rough Appraisal], and the system allows you to appraise two pieces of equipment for me!

Looking at the poor alchemist, Qingyi sighed and shouted angrily: "Follow me! I have all the materials here."

"Ah, please, please wait a moment!" Strum was very happy, but rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "I still need to pack up the experimental equipment, that is the only relic left by the teacher to me!"

"Knight, soldier, help him carry his luggage." Qingyi waved his hand, and the two younger brothers ran into the ruins. Even though the ruins seemed unable to hide anything, there was a lot of equipment, including two big bags. The support system

Fortunately, these instruments could still be preserved during the "Doomsday Confrontation". Strom was so happy that he kept flattering Qingyi, saying that he was a "merciful, fraternal, great, glorious and noble king"...

System prompts: Your task "Collecting Materials" is completed, and you will receive the reward: Necromancer Alchemist, Streum to join your force, and a certain amount of reputation.

System prompts: The necromantic alchemist Strrum has joined your force and signed the [Soul Contract]. Please arrange work for him.

Well, the city wall hasn't even been built yet, and there are already three foodies under my command.

Qingyi curled his lips (although this action looked very funny for him without a face) and looked at the surrounding environment. Could it be said that in some ruins with special decorations, the NPCs found are more likely to be high-level? Yes!

This must be the rule! The system’s hints are unmistakable!

———————————————————————————————————

"Ah... what a majestic city wall!" Strum said blankly, like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time.

From a distance, you can see the eye-catching black and white city walls. The soul fires on the walls are burning quietly and illuminating, as if they are also watching the visitors. The huge door openings are full of bones, like the sharp teeth of beasts.

.Perhaps due to the limitations of building materials, there was no city gate installed on the doorway. For some reason, when he saw this unfinished building-like project, Qingyi felt much more at ease and his pace slowed down a bit.

System prompt: You have entered your sphere of influence.

System prompt: There are currently 3 high-level NPCs and 50 low-level NPCs in your sphere of influence. Such information will not be proactively reminded in the future.

The moment he stepped into the door, Qingyi received a system prompt: 50 low-level NPCs? What did this mean? When he saw the skeleton soldiers carrying bones and stones, he immediately understood.

Strum smiled coquettishly and said: "Your Majesty... your city seems... a bit empty?"

Yes, I was despised by a country bumpkin.

When Qingyi was about to defend himself, Robert came out from nowhere and hit his head with a cane as usual: "Oh, little guy, you are finally back! Hehehehe, you have grown up, you are so successful.

Leave it at home and run away by yourself! You have the nerve to do it!"

Because he was in the wrong, Qingyi got a hard slap: "Let's not talk about it for now, these 50 people - who are you, the old man? You took advantage of me again! Do you believe it or not, I tied up the fire of your soul?

As a chandelier?! Or a toilet chandelier!"

"The relationship between these 50 skeleton soldiers and you is not between the summoner and the summoned object, but between the king and his people." Robert solemnly ignored his son's outburst: "As the king of the undead, as long as you have territory, you can

Officially develop your power. With the assistance of Master Patra, you have initially built two buildings, the 'City Wall' and the 'Drawing Room' in your territory, which can barely be considered a village."

"Village? You told me this is a village?"

"Young man, don't be impatient! This is... an alchemist? An alchemist with a rigorous attitude and a wealth of knowledge? Your Majesty, you have found a treasure!" Robert didn't know what kind of detection skills he had learned, but his eyes were so sharp

Being so experienced, he confirmed Strrum's identity at the first meeting, and then pulled him away with a smile on his face: "You are very welcome to join us! Come on, please go this way!"

"Ah, thank you for your kindness! Where are you taking me?" Strum was obviously a young boy who rarely interacted with people. He could not even speak a word.

"I'll take you to find a location. An alchemist will definitely need a laboratory!"

"Of course!" Strum's eyes sparkled, his greenness faded from his body, and his aura was completely different! He immediately walked in front, and in turn pulled Robert forward quickly, even Robert's crutches were knocked out of his hands: "What if

The alchemist is the fire of the soul, then the laboratory is the powerful body!"

Qingyi rolled his eyes, picked up the crutch and followed.

On the construction site, Master Patra was rarely in a state of dementia. While giving orders to the skeleton soldiers, he lowered his head and looked at the drawings in his hand. It was probably his one-sided glasses that were stained. He carefully took off the lenses and wiped them with a handkerchief a few times.

Then he put it on. If you don't care about his appearance, then he is just an old scholar.

"Master Patra! Your Majesty is back!"

The engineering master looked up, spotted Qingyi, and bowed slightly gracefully. Qingyi smiled and nodded, while Robert introduced Strum and Patra to each other.

"Your Majesty, the library has been built." Patra thought of business and said to Qingyi.

Qingyi was startled: "So fast? Impossible!"

"The old man has brought the book collection at home. Although the underground library has not been invaded, only more than 300 books have been preserved. Let's deal with it for now." Master Patra seemed not very satisfied. Qingyi was overjoyed.

Kuang: Only then can we see the usefulness of intellectuals! Even your own safety is not as dangerous as books. Master Patra, you are really good!

"What about the laboratory? Although I shouldn't doubt you, Master Patra..." Robert raised his voice and stroked his non-existent beard pretending to be worried: "But the work of the new colleague is very dangerous and may blow up the laboratory.

destroy--"

"Impossible!" Patra was so angry that her nose was red and shiny. He shook the roll of drawings in his hand and shouted: "I personally supervise it and it will never collapse before the end of its service life! I am very confident about this.

!”

"Really? You are so awesome!" Robert immediately threw the flattery over and winked at Qingyi. Qingyi was so nagged by this old man that he developed a tacit understanding and knew the other person at a glance.
Chapter completed!
