As the sun sets in the west, the golden afterglow makes the small swamps and ponds in the grass look sparkling, and the endless wilderness is also coated with a layer of golden light. Not far away is the cemetery, known as one of the "Ten Most Dangerous Places on the Mainland"
"One of the places.
Based on his intuition, Ying activated his broomstick and flew toward the only building in the wilderness at dusk.

Cemetery. In a deserted area, some broken tombstones are erected messily among the withered grass. In the broken earth wall, skeleton soldiers holding knives are walking around, zombie gentlemen stand blankly, and black translucent
The ghosts let out shrill wails one after another, and the cold wind blew desolately through this territory belonging to the undead.
Deep in this cemetery is an ancient house, known as the "Ghost House". There lives an undead lord, a black knight called "Windmill", who thinks he is the owner of this place.
Keepers of the Skeleton Cemetery.
"..." This undead lord was dressed in black European medieval armor, with an iron face guard covering his face. Only a pair of blue will-o'-the-wisp eyes could be seen flashing behind the face guard.
Behind him is his only companion, a hell skeleton horse, which he named "You".
"You, look, it's so quiet." The sound of the windmill was a little lonely. He patted the horse's skull and sighed softly.
This is a horse skeleton with only white bones left. The horse's body is covered with thick black metal armor. Only the skull is exposed. There are two clusters of blue will-o'-the-wisps dancing in the hollow deep eye sockets of the skull. This horse is called "You"
The skeletal horse was motionless and could only emit some meaningless low "neighs".
"It's always so quiet here... so deserted..." The will-o'-the-wisps in Fengchao's eyes seemed to dim a bit, and he said to himself a little lonely, "Why, why am I the only one who can talk here... Why am I the only one who is so boring...
"
Stayed in the cemetery for so long.
Day after day, you face those dull undead monsters, or occasionally see a few summoned beasts that come to catch the undead servants. Such a boring life.
At first, as the lord boss in this cemetery, Fengcha would just walk around the "ghost house" honestly. Occasionally he would encounter a human team coming in, and he would kill them or be killed by them---but
Every time he is killed by a human, he will be resurrected soon after.
Just like the undead minions outside the window of the haunted house, Windmill often witnesses them being killed and then resurrected indifferently.
At a certain moment, Feng stood in front of the ghost house, looking at the human teams chasing his men, and suddenly thought, is the value of his and other undead existences just to be killed by humans over and over again?
That was the first time that Windmill vaguely felt a feeling similar to sadness. He was not very clear, because the undead were not supposed to understand emotions, and the only thing the great God of Death gave to the undead was "killing".
From that day on, Fengchao found that something about himself had changed.
It's different from before.
At the very least, he, who had never been able to leave the haunted house, could inexplicably start to enter and exit the haunted house at will, and walk around the cemetery, so Windmill began to often lead the skeleton horse around to patrol his territory.
I have never left the cemetery. I don’t know why, maybe there is no need to leave.
Once deep in the cemetery, Windmill saw an ancient tomb, and from the conversations between several humans, he heard that it was the entrance to the "Ghost Domain" and that the bones of the "Vampire King" were sleeping inside.
Windmill was very excited. He discovered the meaning of his life for the first time.
It turns out that as the owner of this territory, I want to protect this ancient tomb, the entrance to this ghost realm, and the sleep of the Vampire King.
Although in my memory, I don't seem to have received such an order. But I must have forgotten it. Otherwise, for what reason would I have been living here?
As an undead lord, it is only natural to serve the undead king.
Therefore, the entrance to the ghost domain has become a place where Windmill must patrol on horseback every day, and try its best to snipe all humans who try to get close. Of course, except for the dark summoners, those humans who have signed a contract with the God of Death have the right not to be attacked by the undead.
.
Originally, the windmill had been doing well. Until one night, a human knight and a human hunter appeared, trying to break into the ghost realm. The windmill only intercepted and killed the idiot hunter among them, but accidentally let the human knight break in.
He was very depressed and regretful that day.
Because the night of the full moon is always the day when the sleeping vampire king wakes up. This great undead monarch will definitely find out about the human knight who broke in at that time, and he will definitely be very angry.
For several days, Windmill was a little uneasy, waiting for the punishment from the king-level Undead Supreme. But strangely, everything was calm and boring as usual.
Until, today...
"Boom---Boom--Boom--" A rhythmic crashing sound came faintly from not far away.
The undead lord who was still talking to his horse in front of the ghost house was suddenly stunned, and the will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes flashed fiercely, "It's over there at the ancient tomb!! You!!"
"Eh~~" The skeleton horse neighed, and after its owner quickly got on the horse, it immediately started running at a high speed.
Not far away.
Deep in the cemetery.
At the door of a very large ancient tomb, an undead dragon was hitting the tombstone of the ancient tomb again and again. Each impact made the tombstone tremble violently, making a "boom" sound, and debris and flying dust swished.
falling down.
No, it should be said that a human knight was riding this ghost bone dragon, expressionlessly launching "charges" and "impacts" against the tombstones of the ancient tombs again and again.
