The light scattered, revealing the figure of The Corpse Witch Nelson.

He was over 1.8 meters tall and slightly hunched over, looking like an old man.

Unlike ordinary skeleton soldiers who appeared bare-boned, he wore a decent-looking robe outside of his skeleton frame, holding a magic wand in his hand.

As Fang Hao was observing him, Nelson was observing Fang Hao as well.

He couldn’t believe that the one who summoned him from the void was a

human.

This seemed somewhat against the rules.

What should he do next?

Should he serve a human?

His abilities, however, did not seem suitable for a human.

[The Corpse Witch – Nelson’s Loyalty to you has decreased by 10 points,

current Loyalty is 60.]

The system’s notification startled Fang Hao awake.

“Damn, I haven’t even done anything, how come it’s dropped?” He murmured

in his hearts.

Clearing his throat, Fang Hao said, “I am Lord Fang Hao, welcome to the team,

Mr. Nelson.”

Nelson hastily bowed, “Greetings, my lord.

“Mm,” Fang Hao slightly nodded his head.

Nelson stood up straight, surveyed the territory surrounding him, and curiously asked, “My lord, aren’t you afraid of me?”

Clearly, he was referring to his skeleton body.

Most creatures in this world would not willingly deal with the undead.

Fang Hao was remarkably composed for a young man encountering such a

sight.

Fang Hao smiled faintly, “The God of Undead accepts all believers.”

He had heard this line from a skeleton merchant once; it sounded cool at the time, so he remembered it.

Nelson was moved; he bowed again: “Nelson pays his respect to the lord, may you be mighty and undying.”

[The Corpse Witch – Nelson’s Loyalty to you has increased by 20, current

Loyalty is 80.]

“Haha, there is no need to be so respectful, Nelson. Our territory is still in its growth stage, and will require your abilities in the future,” said Fang Hao with a smile.

He felt secretly delighted, the line worked wonders.

Whenever other undead join, he could start off with that line to avoid fluctuations in Loyalty.

Fang Hao also took this opportunity to check Nelson’s attributes.

(Description: The holder of ancient knowledge, the guardian of the secret of immortality.)

This was somewhat different from Fang Hao’s initial thought.

He had wanted to recruit a hero with strong martial prowess, but he ended up recruiting a corpse witch instead.

Looking at his attributes, he seemed to be more of a scholar than a warrior.

An official once responsible for conducting royal funerals.

To be honest, Fang Hao felt that he was becoming more and more distant from

the living.

But the path of the Undead seemed to broaden as he advanced.

Of course, being a civilian did not necessarily mean he wasn’t powerful. It just meant that his power was more pronounced in development or internal affairs.

Nelson belonged to the category of funeral heroes, and he also knew a simple

Earth Elemental Magic.

The spell “Grand Burial” seemed more like something to facilitate the last stage of burial.

“Nelson, what kind of building is the Viscera Museum?” Fang Hao asked again.

All of Nelson’s characteristics were clear, except for the Blueprint of the

Viscera Museum, which had no detailed introduction.

“The museum is a very important type of building in a Royal Funeral.

Combined with the energy-storing Viscera Jars, it can give our forces powerful abilities. The funeral ritual group can also make powerful and unique items here,” Nelson replied casually.

Fang Hao nodded, somewhat understanding but not completely.

“Then let’s build the museum first,” Fang Hao said, opening the Book of Lords once again.

According to the instructions, Nelson’s included Blueprint could also be viewed

on it.

[Viscera Museum: Wood 12000, Stone 10000, Hemp Rope 4200, Leather 800, Shadowstone 10, Death Trace 5.]

The resources it consumed were indeed a considerable amount.

The basic materials exceeded tens of thousands, and the Shadowstones and Death Traces were barely enough.

He was saving the Shadowstones for upgrading the barracks, but it seemed that he had to use them here first.

“Master Nelson, where do you think would be a suitable location?” Fang Hao asked in a low voice.

-I think somewhere near there would be nice,” Nelson pointed in a direction not far away.

It was the Burial Grounds, the gathering place for the Skeleton Conversion

Field, giving off an aura of death.

“Alright, let’s build it here for now,” Fang Hao chose a location right next to the Skeleton Conversion Field and began to construct the building.

Soon, a large outline of a building appeared out of thin air. The construction, however, required half an hour.

This came as a surprise to Fang Hao.

He knew that previous buildings, the slowest ones, had taken only about five minutes.

The fastest ones had been completed in an instant.

As the two made light conversation while waiting for the construction to complete…

Clank!

A light sound rang out from the side.

They looked over only to see Eira holding a wooden bucket, staring wide-eyed at Nelson.

For this strangely dressed, talking Skeleton, she was full of disbelief.

“Eira, come here,” Fang Hao called out softly.

Eira was a little scared, but still forced herself to walk over.

“Eira, this is Master Nelson, a scholar who just joined our territory,” Fang Hao lavished his words, using terms like ‘Master’ and ‘Scholar’ at every turn.

“Hello, Master Scholar,” Eira kept her head down, not daring to look at Nelson’s face.

Or to be more accurate, nobody wanted to look at a skeleton frame with flickering ghost fire.

Nelson was also curious. How had another member of the Orc Clan appeared, and a very weak Rabbit at that?

“Master Nelson, this is my maid, Eira. If you need anything in your daily life, feel free to tell me or her,” Fang Hao continued to introduce.

Nelson, on the contrary, showed enough respect, saying, “Miss Eira, I am pleased to meet you.”

All the inhabitants of the territory had now met and become acquainted with each other.

While their number of troops was sufficient, the population of the territory was still too small.

Fang Hao continued to chat with Nelson, understanding more about his past. Nelson still retained many of his professional skills, but his past memories were very vague.

Without realizing it, the museum was slowly constructed and completed.
