I Have a Friend Who Wants to Join

It's Friday, so I'm adding an extra chapter and asking for subscriptions. I hope to reach 2000 average views per month, so please help me out!

Faced with Gu Xi's question, the blacksmith's Stitched Monster was also quite speechless.

After fighting like this, you're still asking if I'll surrender? I won't surrender, what can you do to me?

But he actually understood that if he didn't surrender, he would likely be killed, and then Gu Xi could use a Summoning to obtain a reliable and trustworthy spirit.

Seeing Gu Xi's gloomy expression, the blacksmith's Stitched Monster finally spoke.

"I surrender!"

[A spirit, sensing your immense power, wishes to surrender to you. Do you accept their surrender?]

"Accept!"

Blacksmith Xavier joins your party.

[Ding! Temporary Task: Progress on the High-level Undead quest has changed. One undead of level 10 or higher has been defeated and subdued (1/3).]

Upon hearing the sound that came out, Gu Xi smiled slightly.

He glanced at Xavier to the side, pointed behind him, and the Evil Coffin appeared beside Gu Xi Evil Coffin, with the Medical Tent that had been trailing behind it being erected.

"Go inside and recover."

Xavier shook his head. "My health is too high. This stuff is useless to me; it won't replenish my health."

As Xavier spoke, he struggled to stand up.

Although he was blown off at the waist, Xavier didn't care at all. His lifeline actually started to recover on its own, and he began to reassemble his severed leg back onto his body.

As for the missing waist or anything like that, there's no need to worry about it. You can just eat some meat and blood later to make up for it.

While installing his own body, Xavier asked, "Sir, do you intend to go and subdue some more faculty members?"

Gu Xi was taken aback by the question.

"Ah, yes, I need to recruit at least two more, level 10 or higher. Do you have any recommendations?"

Gu Xi glanced at Xavier.

He was well aware that some people felt they couldn't be the only ones to suffer a loss.

As expected, Xavier suggested a candidate.

"I have a friend who really wants to join."

Well, Gu Xi was also eager to get to know Xavier's friend, as he believed Xavier should know his friend quite well.

Sure enough, Xavier then betrayed his friend.

His friend was a Ghost named Julie.

However, his most distinctive feature is not his Ghost. The reason he and Xavier became 'good friends' is because he had a full set of heavy armor crafted from Xavier.

Yes, the kind where they didn't pay.

Having donned heavy armor and knowing Xavier's abilities, Julie ran away immediately.

So Xavier hasn't collected the debt yet.

Xavier, who was quite unhappy, hoped that Gu Xi could take action against Julie.

If you can subdue Julie, then do so; if you can't, then killing him is fine.

In Xavier's words, he didn't need another friend.

With expert guidance and introduction, Gu Xi's goal for the second battle was already set.

Let Xavier rest well; Gu Xi has no intention of taking Xavier back to Aryadovi.

Similarly, in the department that Gu Xi is about to establish, there will be no place for Xavier. He will become a 'neutral' faculty member who supports Gu Xi and will continue to work in the academy.

No one would know that Xavier was Gu Xi's subordinate.

Xavier had no objection to Gu Xi's arrangement.

He didn't really care where it was, since the furnace was located in his abdomen.

He could go wherever he wanted without even having to do the work of moving things from the Blacksmith Shop; he could just walk.

Despite being a Stitched Monster, Xavier's movement speed isn't actually that slow; it's about the normal speed of Zombie.

Since the undead don't need to consider physical strength or time, they can really go wherever they want.

Staying by Gu Xi's side is fine, entering Gu Xi's city is almost the same for him, and supporting Gu Xi in the academy is also suitable.

After settling Xavier in, Gu Xi said to him, "I'm going to find that guy named Julie now. Don't worry, I'll bring him back. If he refuses to surrender and dares to fight back, I'll bring back his head."

Upon hearing this, Xavier looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "Bring his armor back; it's more valuable."

Okay, this guy isn't much of a joker.

Gu Xi shook his head and quickly left.

However, he didn't go very far. Although the Julie that Xavier mentioned had a name, he was still quite far from here.

After all, it's easy to see that Julie isn't stupid; there's no reason for him to run away after cheating someone out of their things.

Gu Xi's target this time was a dead person who happened to be passing by.

After killing—no, subduing—this undead, walk a little further ahead and you'll find the Julie Xavier mentioned.

Therefore, Gu Xi was not in a hurry to deal with Julie, but instead set his sights on this poor dead man.

Who told him to be so unlucky, he just happened to be blocking Gu Xi's path forward.

This unlucky undead was not an important faculty member to begin with.

He was in charge of dealing with pests in the college's internal gardens.

After all, the original Mysterious Academy was almost equivalent to a huge city.

There are more than ten gardens and Herb Garden here, which is much larger than the newly established Aryadovi under Gu Xi's command.

Whether it's a garden or Herb Garden, they will be affected by Mana, producing magical plants and attracting demonized pests.

Therefore, there are some faculty members in the college who specialize in dealing with these pests.

However, normal students wouldn't notice them.

Even after they became undead, they were among the best-off faculty members in the academy.

At the same time, their strength has also improved because they kill pests every day.

The undead in front of us is a level 11 being.
