Chen Gu's Plan

However, none of this can compare to the effect of regional collaboration.

While noticing the changes at the dock, Gu Xi also noticed a not-so-small whirlpool appearing on the river.

The whirlpool was large enough for a sailboat to pass through, and Gu Xi could clearly feel that it was expanding and contracting, as if something was spewing out.

This situation even affected three docks, and Gu Xi was also faced with such turbulent information.

[Netherworld Dock Area: Ghost Domain formed by an evil and eerie wharf. Every week when ships enter or leave the wharf, some corpses will appear in the whirlpool. The minimum number of corpses is 1, and the maximum Unlimited Quantity.]

[Note 1: All bodies can be retrieved and used directly.]

[Note 2: All corpses are not limited to humans; they can also be from other races or other creatures.]

Looking at the message, Gu Xi blinked. He remembered hearing in some class that when sailing at sea, one might encounter whirlpools, and if one was willing to sacrifice some soldiers, the whirlpool could safely transport the ship to another location.

Could these corpses emerging from the whirlpool be the sacrifices thrown into it by the ships as they passed through?

If that's the case, then this Netherworld Dock Area will be of great use.

Whether it's handling various affairs at the dock or retrieving the bodies that appear in the river every week, Gu Xi has to assign someone to keep an eye on things here.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi looked at Luna, then shook his head.

As the manager of Aryadovi, Luna couldn't stay here indefinitely.

As for Shaya, she's currently in Victoria City keeping an eye on the situation there, but there's nothing she can do about it.

As for Gu Xi's three leaders, they were not suitable to stay here either, since they were no match for the Contract Undead under Gu Xi's command.

This put Gu Xi in a somewhat difficult position.

He can't possibly time everything and come in to handle this himself every time.

Just then, Luna floated over as well.

"My lord, the foundations for the two Core Building over there have been laid. We just need to invest enough resources to build them up."

At this moment, Gu Xi temporarily put aside the problem at hand and turned his gaze to the location Luna pointed to.

The two Core Building are located approximately twenty meters from the three docks.

It's basically like walking down the pier from the dock and crossing the street to reach these two Core Building.

"Let's build them first. After all, it's not like these two Core Building are permanent!"

"Yes, its function is already fixed, and we can't change it even if we wanted to."

As Luna was speaking, Gu Xi suddenly thought of something.

"Luna, whether it's Core Building or not, there will be corresponding personnel stationed there."

That's right.

With Luna's confirmation, Gu Xi quickly began drawing a map of the Dock Area on the ground.

"Luna, look, the land area of Dock Area is only 0.4 square kilometers, and the area where buildings cannot be built should be here, on the river surface."

These three locations are three docks, and due to the terrain of the Dock Area, the three docks are relatively close to each other.

Because the docks are quite close together, the walkways are almost touching, and these two locations are reserved for the Core Building.

"Do you think we could build a walkway here to connect the three docks with the two Core Building?"

"Does the master mean to include these two Core Building in the regional collaboration?"

Looking at the map Gu Xi had drawn, Luna asked a question without any hesitation.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. These three docks, plus the Dock Warehouse and Dock Market, why can't they be integrated into a cohesive area?"

Luna nodded. "That should be possible, but we need to move the Dock Warehouse and Dock Market a bit this way and build the walkway. That will require more resources."

"Invest now. We're short of mercury for the Dragonbone Laboratory anyway, and we don't need to invest in other buildings. Let's put all our resources into this."

Gu Xi waved his hand decisively.

"I understand, sir. I will handle it."

"Alright, then I'll leave things here to you. Also, apart from the Skeleton Archer and the Bonecleaver Battalion, the other Skeleton units will be stationed around here for now. If you need anything, just ask them."

As Gu Xi spoke, he waved to the Death Avatar.

The Death Avatar landed easily before Gu Xi.

Gu Xi placed his hand on the Death Avatar and began to examine Death Avatar condition once more.

Gu Xi had witnessed the battle between the Death Avatar and the Ghoul Shadow.

Gu Xi was always surprised that the Death Avatar could absorb the Ghoul Shadow, but he couldn't figure out what was going on Death Avatar it.

Moreover, the Death Avatar of each of the Three Divine Skills is different. Gu Xi's Death Avatar in the form of Bone Dragon is actually quite rare, and he has no way to ask anyone about it.

At this point, Gu Xi could only study the situation of the Death Avatar through his own methods.

Fortunately, Gu Xi's Undead Knowledge and Magic Knowledge was already quite advanced.

He noticed that within the black mist surrounding the Death Avatar's body, there were Soul Shard of some Ghoul Shadow.

These Soul Shard possess some degree of activity.

This reminded Gu Xi of the Black Robe Cultist he had seen outside the mirror before entering Aryadovi.

These guys stood motionless in front of the mirror, as if they had lost their souls; they only reacted when hit.

Could the Ghoul Shadow's soul have originated from them?

With a clear idea in mind, Gu Xi was able to determine the direction of his investigation, and soon Gu Xi discovered more information among these souls.

Gu Xi also gained a deeper understanding of the Death Avatar's flight state and its absorption of the Ghoul Shadow's power.

It turns out that Gu Xi's Death Avatar looks like Bone Dragon, but it is actually the Grim Reaper of the Victoria magical world.

The reason it looks like Bone Dragon is entirely due to the Silver Dragon attribute on the Invisibility Cloak.

Therefore, the bones of the Death Avatar-Bone Dragon, are all made of metal, which signifies its identity as a metal dragon.

But in reality, the essence of the Death Avatar is a story from Victoria magical fairy tales, and the same goes for its skills.

Transforming into black mist and flying, and being able to destroy everything nearby, and absorbing the life force of Ghoul Shadow —these are all hidden characteristics and fighting styles of the Grim Reaper in the magical world.

The origins of the Ghoul Shadow belong to the cultists of Victoria City. They utilize the characteristics of the Grim Reaper in the magical world to absorb the life force of these Ghoul Shadow to strengthen themselves, which is quite reasonable.

Once Gu Xi understood this, he stopped caring about the matter, as long as the Death Avatar didn't cause any problems.

As for the impact, Gu Xi didn't care at all; he just wanted his Death Avatar to be as powerful as possible.

Having figured this out, Gu Xi felt relieved. While Luna went to build the two Core Building in the Dock Area, Gu Xi still had some time, so he planned to take a stroll around the library.
