Chapter 249: The Next Step Determined by a Mysterious Existence
“Civilian?”
The girl’s head moved slightly at the sudden hoarse voice, and the content expressed by the machine’s prompt sound made Kazumi’s eyebrows involuntarily tremble.
As she walked towards the Great Graveyard not far away, Kazumi began to ponder the so-called reward content.
The achievement of the first civilian, as the name suggests, means that the undead territory controlled by our little Kazumi, in addition to so many troop types, has finally welcomed its first civilian.
Regardless of its intrinsic value or the achievement reward that can be obtained, it is a cause for great joy for Kazumi.
[Soul Guidance] is a unique capability of the exceptionally large central building, the [Great Graveyard], in the distance, and it is one of the few capabilities of an undead territory to increase its own civilians.
However, compared to the more straightforward [Imperial Guard], the skill description provided by [Soul Guidance] is actually somewhat vague, after all, reality is not a game, and the conservation laws of the material world will not indefinitely spawn souls for you like in a game. The description of the skill guiding souls of death to come also seems to prove the possible connection between this capability and the real world.
“Is it a spirit body that died in the real world? If so, will it have its original memories?”
Thinking of this, more questions arose in Kazumi’s mind, and she quickened her pace towards the graveyard hall located in the center of several buildings.
Casually touching the incredibly ornate rune black armor of the Imperial Guard guarding the hall entrance, the young girl reluctantly entered the hall.
“Let me find it… Territory residents… Spirit body…”
Sitting down on the skull throne that looked somewhat uncomfortable, Kazumi wiggled her little hips, adjusted to a comfortable position, and then reached out to open the detailed territory panel.
After carefully searching for a while in the somewhat complicated territory details panel, Kazumi finally found the location of the spirit body displayed above. Using the Lord’s ability, she summoned this unknown civilian to the graveyard hall, and then the young girl closed the panel in front of her and lazily lay down on the giant skull throne. Her lazy demeanor was not at all befitting of an undead lord.
Fortunately, the young girl’s “Ge You lie” did not last long. Just as Kazumi remembered to open the governor panel, which was awarded as a reward, a transparent figure slowly drifted in from outside the hall.
“This is?”
Looking at the transparent spirit body that stopped in front of the throne, the young girl stopped her operations and focused her attention on the ghost, which appeared as a middle-aged man.
In Kazumi’s original idea, the first civilian in the territory would most likely be the strongman she had fought with before, because only that person was killed by her dragging him into the black coffin with her ability. It seemed reasonable for the departed souls to become civilians of the territory.
However, what the young girl did not expect was that what appeared before her eyes was actually such a middle-aged uncle whom she had no impression of at all.
“So, it has nothing to do with the people killed in the territory? Is it directly dragging spirit bodies from reality? If so, then it’s a bit interesting…”
While rubbing her smooth chin, Kazumi examined the middle-aged spirit body in front of her, which seemed to have completely lost its intelligence, and the expression on her face gradually became more interesting.
After all, harvesting souls from creatures that died on her territory and stealing authority from the existing cycles of life and death in the real world are capabilities of entirely different levels!
Even more boldly, if she could latch onto that line, if she became powerful enough, even taking their place might not be impossible!
Shaking her head, the young girl finally woke up from the shock brought by the [Soul Guidance] capability. For now, it seemed that the capability’s promises were quite grand, but whether she could enjoy these promises depended on her own efforts.
Compared to the power of the [Soul Guidance] capability, this nameless ghost as a civilian did not have many outstanding aspects. It was basically an ordinary low-level spirit body, with no intelligence or consciousness. It only drifted around aimlessly by instinct, absorbing the aura of death.
“Thinking too much, thinking too much. Let’s continue looking at the rewards.”
A little disappointed, she gestured to the middle-aged uncle’s spirit body to do whatever it wanted. After all, the territory was in ruins, and even the corresponding buildings that could utilize civilians had not yet been built, so they could only be allowed to wander around for now.
The young girl returned to the throne and opened the governor panel that she hadn’t had time to check before.
Governor, is a new panel that can be unlocked in the mid-game of the game “Undead Lord”. In the original game content, it basically served as the territory’s adjutant to help the lord handle some trivial matters, thereby freeing the player from some more cumbersome basic work, allowing the territory to achieve semi-automatic production work.
In addition, governors also have their own different capabilities to help the territory develop faster in various aspects. The highest-level orange governors even have their own exclusive troop types or exclusive buildings, so to speak, it is a relatively important panel in the game’s mid-game.
“But I didn’t expect it to appear here as a reward for civilians. Is it the system’s setting? Then there should be an initial governor too, right?”
While muttering about this strangely real-modified game system, the young girl skillfully clicked on the newly unlocked governor panel. And if Kazumi’s thoughts were not wrong, usually when a panel is opened for the first time, there should be a free selection opportunity.
The familiar dead gray panel suddenly unfolded before Kazumi’s eyes, and indeed, the governor selection interface she had expected appeared before the young girl.
[Grec (Green) Abomination Governor Preference: Flesh and Blood]
[Delicious Meat Chunks: Periodically generates random portions of meat chunks within the territory.]
[Tuvasis (Green) Bone Crusher Governor Preference: Crypt]
[Bone Surgery: Slightly enhances the modifiability of bone-type undead creatures.]
[Lei (Green) Lich Governor Preference: Frost]
[Ice Curtain: Territory Frost check +1]
Her jet-black eyes narrowed slightly. Comparing it with the territory panel on the other side, the young girl habitually raised her right hand and gently tapped her chin. Her thin lips parted slightly, as if asking or murmuring.
“Which one should I choose?”
(Ps: Which one should I choose?)
