Volume 4 Dungeon Dungeon Chapter 165 Skeleton Warhorse
Secondly, given that I'm updating non-stop during the Spring Festival, I'd like to ask for a few monthly tickets! Thank you!
Li Wei thought to himself that he had been so focused on finding that Stolk that he had forgotten that this town was where he could buy the skeletal warhorses unique to the Undead race.
In the spacious stable, dozens of skeletal warhorses stood silently. They were resurrected warhorses, and like the Forsaken, their souls had broken free from the Lich King's control, contributing greatly to the Forsaken's revenge against the Scourge.
In past wars, their appearance signified the arrival of terrifying death knights, but now, the Forsaken can obtain these loyal companions as long as they reach a certain level and pay a reward.
Given this opportunity, Li Wei naturally wouldn't let it pass.
"We have two types of warhorses here, and of course, the riding skills and money required are different. Which one do you want?" The stable manager was about to ramble on when Li Wei interrupted him abruptly.
"I want the best, give me a quote."
They certainly had an air of wealth and power.
The stable master smiled knowingly. With hardly any skin left on his face, even his smile looked a million times uglier than a cry.
In a flash, a virtual panel appeared before my eyes.
"Mounts: Skeleton Warhorses, basic warhorses require riding skill, gold coins, or a blade. Four points; intermediate warhorses require riding skill, illusion, gold coins, merit, or farming points; advanced warhorses require riding skill, strength, gold coins, or a blade. Or reef points."
Upon seeing this, Li Wei nearly collapsed to the ground.
That's way too halfway done!
He did have a small amount of gold coins in the mission world, which he had collected after killing a large number of various monsters. However, it wasn't enough to buy even the cheapest basic warhorse.
Fortunately, integral points can be used instead.
The problem lies in these points: how much does a basic warhorse cost?
Blade's Points!
That's enough to buy a level-one skill book and a weapon, while the price of a mid-level warhorse has jumped to the point of being worth a fortune. That's all Li Wei has in his entire fortune.
As for the cabin points for advanced warhorses, let's not think about them for now.
However, Li Wei really wanted to get one of these mounts because he had seen the mount's attributes on the virtual panel.
"Skeleton Warhorses, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced, Mounts. Undead Aspect, can increase movement speed. Beginner: [Unclear], Intermediate: [Unclear], Advanced: [Unclear], No stamina limit, can be taken out of the quest world!"
It was that last sentence, the hint that it could lead to the mission world, that made Li Wei decide to buy it.
Li Wei summoned the Yellow Paper and began to sort through his belongings.
Items and props were temporarily set aside, focusing solely on points. Because recent expenses were low, and skill upgrades were primarily achieved through self-comprehension and practice, Li Wei's points had reached a high level of combined merit.
Buying a mid-level skeletal warhorse would be enough.
However, before that, one must improve their riding skills.
"Riding skills?" The stable manager chuckled, glancing at Li Wei. "Riding skills... I'll give you the corresponding level of riding skills as a bonus when you buy a warhorse. Of course, if you buy a basic warhorse, I can't give you advanced riding skills, understand?"
Li Wei quickly nodded.
The knife was presented, and Li Wei received a "Mount Badge" as he had wished. In fact, the badge was just a small image of a skeletal warhorse printed on Yellow Paper.
"Here you go. This is an intermediate riding manual. After learning it, you can summon your own skeletal warhorse. If you want to buy a high-level mount, remember to come here. I'll give you a discount!" the stable manager whispered, his hollow eye sockets and teeth lacking skin making Li Wei's heart skip a beat.
"Definitely, definitely!" With that, Li Wei hurriedly left the stable. He never expected that even among the Forsaken, there would be such a cunning merchant!
Li Wei thought about it helplessly for a moment, then looked around habitually, before opening the Yellow Paper and taking out the seal printed on it, following the method for summoning a mount.
Three seconds later, a small cloud of smoke flashed by, and Li Wei found himself surrounded by a skeletal warhorse that was 2 meters tall, robust, and covered in metal armor.
Li Wei took a liking to this guy at first sight.
It's absolutely stunning! Beneath the armor, this horse is Undead made entirely of massive skeletons, as can be seen from the two eerie flames in its eyes.
With a thought, Li Wei pulled on the reins, and the skeletal warhorse galloped across the grasslands of Tirisfal Glades.
The speed is indeed quite fast.
Li Wei's normal running speed is about 100 meters per second. Of course, if he wanted to accelerate, he could easily reach 100 meters per second, or even 100 meters per second.
This intermediate-level skeletal warhorse enhances mutual jumping, and with a three-fold increase, Li Wei's current movement speed reaches blade meters per second.
It looks quite ordinary, not even as fast as a car, but the beauty of this skeletal warhorse lies in its near-tirelessness; it can run continuously for an entire...
That's the advantage of Undead.
With the help of this skeletal warhorse, Li Wei quickly arrived at the cemetery in the western mountains.
Although the journey was short, Li Wei felt no different from riding in a luxury Mercedes. The skeletal warhorse was incredibly comfortable. Its smooth, steady gait could captivate anyone who rode it.
Here in the cemetery, there is a metal gate, but it has long since decayed and is now just a memory of history. The cemetery is overgrown with weeds, and a few mindless zombies roam around.
"Is Stolk hiding here?" Li Wei looked around but found nothing amiss.
Li Wei slowed the skeletal warhorse as it slowly rode through the cemetery, examining the inscriptions on the tombstones. These tombs were the final resting places of warriors from various races who died fighting against the Undead Scourge.
There are brave and honest minotaurs.
There were also night elves who considered themselves noble.
There are green-skinned orcs known for their exceptional numbers.
There are also lawful humans who represent redefinition.
In short, these are all warriors who died fighting against the Undead Scourge, but Li Wei noticed that this was clearly an abandoned place that hadn't received much attention for a long time.
If he hadn't come here in search of "Stolk," he probably wouldn't have known that there was such a cemetery here.
Following the stable manager's directions, Li Wei found the largest tombstone in the cemetery, and beneath it was a pit with a diameter of 3 meters.
Li Wei retrieved the skeletal warhorse using the Yellow Paper and began to examine the area carefully.
"That's right, this is indeed a man-made passage, but inside is a genuine Catacombs!" Li Wei confirmed this, and his heart seemed to pound wildly.
Perhaps he will gain something from this.
Entering the passage, Li Wei quickly slid downwards. It was pitch black, but with his Undead Constitution, Li Wei could see some things. After sliding down a few more meters, Li Wei arrived at an open area where many bricks were scattered on the ground. On the left, where the tomb wall should have been, a hole had been smashed open.
"Could that Master Stolk be a grave robber?" Li Wei thought with a chill. After all, as Undead, they rarely dig up other people's graves. They had already died once and had an almost extraordinary respect for the dead.
Carefully entering the tomb, Li Wei unexpectedly saw a light.
As Li Wei stepped forward, he saw more than a dozen huge stone beds placed in the tomb, on which lay all sorts of corpses, including minotaurs, orcs, elves, trolls, and humans.
In addition, Li Wei also saw a tall, old, dirty-haired Undead man busy at a table full of experimental equipment, clearly unaware of Li Wei's arrival.
Eye of Perception, Li Wei smiled.
This Undead is none other than Stolk, also known as the Abomination Master. Right now, this master is intently performing surgery on a corpse that can only be described as a monster.
The corpse had various tubes inserted into it, all filled with green liquid.
Li Wei glanced at it; the Eye of Perception named it "An Unfinished Elite Abomination."
"Young Forsaken, what brings you here?" Stolk noticed Li Wei after all, and spoke while continuing his work.
"Hello, great Master Stolk, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with!"
Li Wei didn't intend to beat around the bush with this kind of character. He was currently one of the Forsaken, and seeking help from fellow Forsaken was the most appropriate way to deal with them.
"Seeking my help?" Stolk didn't stop working, not even looking up. "Is it to seek revenge against the evil the Scourge?"
Li Wei hurriedly revealed the attack plan of the Fear Ghost King, which was of course a modified version. The evil Undead Scourge and the shameless human Betrayer had changed their target to the Forsaken's stronghold.
"Is that so?" Stolk finally raised his head, glanced at Li Wei, and then continued to work on his corpse.
"Child, I'm very busy right now, and I don't have any extra Abomination to help you. But see? There are a few Stitched Abominations on those tables that I'm about to finish. If you can make them stand up, then they'll be at your command!"
Li Wei, who was still a little stunned by these words, was suddenly startled by the Yellow Paper that popped up. However, after he saw the hints on the Yellow Paper, he smiled.
"Quest: Stolk's Guidance. After you painstakingly found this master, he gave you a difficult task: to use your own understanding to bring the half-finished stitched monster to life. Success will reward you with the title of Stitching Apprentice. Failure will deduct four points. Accept?"
