Integrating into the Blood Cellar District

"If—and I mean if—we send troops to garrison the small building, could we hold it?"

Gu Xi quickly raised a question.

Luna and Shaya exchanged a glance, and then shook their heads simultaneously.

"What, has the situation gotten to this point?"

"No, sir. Victoria is undergoing changes. Even the Mirror Dungeon is not easy to reach. We are lucky to have returned. There is no way to send a large number of troops there."

Luna said with some helplessness. She understood why Gu Xi had made this suggestion, but this time the connection between Victoria and Aryadovi was forcibly severed, and even she could not guarantee their communication.

If Gu Xi's Hearthstone were of higher quality, it would be fine, but it's only green quality, so there's nothing Luna can do no matter how anxious she is.

Then everyone in the room fell silent.

Only Gu Xi was there, gently tapping the table, letting his thoughts wander.

He reviewed all the supplies and tools he could find, considering how to break the deadlock.

If all else fails, given Gu Xi's current troop strength, he could try to attack Aryadovi Tower.

Perhaps that place can connect to the Mirror Dungeon, and then we can fight our way back to Mirror Dungeon Victoria City from there.

However, the troop strength lost along the way will likely be quite large.

Gu Xi wasn't concerned about the loss of troops; his only worry was that even if he captured Aryadovi Tower, he wouldn't be able to enter the Mirror Dungeon, which would be rather awkward.

Just as Gu Xi was at his wit's end, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

The crux of this matter lies in the incident at Westminster Abbey.

Gu Xi happened to have a Dungeon Crystal, which described the "Westminster Abbey Incident".

In other words, he can transfer to Victoria City through a copy.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi stood up immediately.

"Luna, let's go from Westminster Abbey."

"Ah?"

Luna was shocked.

However, after Gu Xi explained his plan to Luna said very seriously, "Your plan might actually come true."

"If it can be achieved, that's good. Everyone get ready. The Westminster Abbey Incident is a level 5 to 10 instance, so we need to adjust our troop strength and other things."

Luna, I just obtained a land deed and placed it in the Council Hall. Go and merge it.

The other twenty Building Blueprint also depend on you.

"Don't worry, sir, I will handle this matter."

Then Gu Xi turned to Shaya and said, "Shaya, you stay in Aryadovi City for now and help me handle the intelligence matters. You'll still have a chance to contribute in this dungeon."

"Yes!"

Shaya's response was quite straightforward.

Finally, Gu Xi looked at the few people who were half-coal ash and said, "These people can stay in the city for now. I don't know where to put them."

Just then, the girl that Shaya called the neighbor stood up.

"My lord, may I ask if you can transform me into an undead?"

Gu Xi looked at this person with some doubt, "You want to transform into an undead?"

"Yes, I am now half alive and half dead, so I hope I can become a ghost and get rid of this Fate."

Gu Xi did not answer directly, but looked at the others.

However, none of these people had the same courage as this young lady. When Gu Xi looked over, they all shrank back, and even the butler that Shaya had hired didn't dare to meet Gu Xi's gaze.

"Sure, turning you into an undead isn't difficult. There are many ways to Undead Transformation. I have an advantage over others because this is Death City. You can undergo further transformation within my city."

But what do you want to transform it into?

Contract Undead is clearly not an option. I'm currently stuck at level 4, and until I reach level 5, or until the Undead Pact level is advanced, I won't be able to contract another Contract Undead.

Given your current situation, it's clear that you lack the talent to become the Undead Headman.

"If you transform with me, you can only be transformed into a regular undead soldier at most; there are almost no other possible transformations."

Listening to Gu Xi's words, the young lady from next door said very seriously, "Sir, my family used to make alchemical potions. I still remember many of the recipes. I can do these jobs."

"That would be fine. I happen to have a lot of crucibles on hand. Although they are all dead crucibles, dead things may still have a chance to come back to life. I can give you that chance."

"Go find Dimi later and ask her if the Alchemy Laboratory needs any help."

"Dimi?"

"You'll find out when you go out with Luna later. She usually sits in the Council Hall."

Seeing that Gu Xi had made arrangements for the girl next door, the others finally looked up at Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi had no desire to use these cowardly fellows.

He pointed to the few men who were half-coal ash and said, "From now on, you will be responsible for guarding this hut."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, a mysterious force locked these few half-coal ash figures inside the hut.

Then Gu Xi pushed open the door and went out.

Shaya, who was following behind Gu Xi, looked at the few half-coal slag guys with some helplessness. She didn't know what they were thinking. They had such a good opportunity just now, but they managed to turn it into this mess.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Gu Xi sensed a red light emanating from behind the Hundred-Armed Giant Graveyard Zone.

The red light carried a strong stench of blood; it was the [Blood Cell Deed] that Gu Xi had just acquired being integrated into the city.

[Blood Cell Deed successfully merged, City Experience +2.]

[Level 2 Vampire Residence activated, City Experience +6.]

[Level 2 Blood-colored Garden activated, city experience +4.]

[Level 3 Blood Pool activated, City Experience +6.]

[A level 4 Vampire Statue has been activated, granting +4 city experience.]

[Level 4 Blood Throne activated, city experience +4.]

[Level 3 Bat Cave activated, city experience +3.]

[...]

As a series of messages popped up, Gu Xi was surprised to find that his experience in the Death City had increased significantly.

This discovery delighted Gu Xi. He stretched out his hand, and the Evil Coffin appeared before him.

Gu Xi flipped over and sat on the Evil Coffin, pointing his Cold Wind Staff in the direction from which the blood was coming.

"Let's go take a look over there."

Upon hearing this, the Evil Coffin darted off in that direction at such a speed that it almost threw Gu Xi off balance.

Luna appeared behind Gu Xi after rushing a short distance.

"Sir, the construction team has been assigned."

"Okay." Gu Xi gripped the iron chains on the Evil Coffin tightly, responding to Luna's words indistinctly.

Behind the Evil Coffin, Dimi and Shaya were following closely at an extremely high speed, as they also wanted to explore the Blood Cellar Zone they had just merged into.
