"Just a small matter."
Link chuckled lightly and casually sat down on the ground. Seeing this, Aileen also wanted to join him. However, being of noble birth, she couldn't be as carefree as Link. She first carefully took out a pristine white handkerchief from her pocket and laid it on the ground before bending down to sit beside him.
At this moment, there was still an hour of rest before the second assessment of the Imperial Academy of Cultivation—"Wilderness Hunt." Ever since he received a reward of 50,000 gold coins, Link couldn't bear to wait even a moment longer. With each passing second, his thirst for power grew ever more urgent!
"Aileen, after that fierce battle, I'm feeling a bit tired. Would you mind if I borrowed your leg for a moment?" Link asked.
"Borrow my leg?" Aileen was momentarily taken aback, not quite grasping the situation. Before she could react, Link had already sprawled out on the ground, his head resting comfortably on her thigh.
"You!" Aileen's face flushed crimson, and she felt an urge to push Link away. But as she recalled everything he had done for her during this time, her heart softened, and she found herself unable to bear the thought of rejecting him.
With no other choice, she suppressed her embarrassment, gently closed her eyes, and allowed Link to rest on her. Meanwhile, Link lay on Aileen's delicate, soft leg, inhaling the sweet fragrance that surrounded him, reveling in the moment!
Fortunately, he didn't forget his purpose. After enjoying a few minutes of peace, he decisively closed his eyes and entered his realm of the undead.
The realm of the undead still appeared lifeless, devoid of any signs of vitality. As soon as Link arrived, the Eye Demon sensed his presence and fluttered its wings to greet him.
"Master, have you successfully resolved the crisis?" the Eye Demon asked eagerly.
"Yes, this advanced necromancy is indeed powerful, but it requires 'faith power' to use. If there were no limitations, it would be perfect!" Link licked his lips, recalling the overwhelming power of the advanced necromancy "Toxic Explosion," which had left even him feeling a bit apprehensive.
If there were no restrictions, combined with the two necromantic spells "Toxic Corpse Qi" and "Corpse Poison Domain," it would be a truly invisible killing machine!
"Haha, Master need not worry. I initially didn't plan to tell you about this advanced necromancy because your current strength is still weak, and the realm of the undead is in dire need of development, making the scarcity of faith power quite understandable." The Eye Demon added, "However, I believe it won't be long before your followers spread across every corner of the continent. By then, you will possess an inexhaustible supply of 'faith power'!"
"I hope so!" Link nodded with a smile. This was the first time he had tasted the sweetness that "faith power" could bring. At this moment, he had firmly resolved that once the matters at the Imperial Academy of Cultivation were settled, he would find a way to quickly develop his followers!
"Master, you must have accumulated enough gold coins this time, right?" the Eye Demon asked tentatively.
"Indeed." Link nodded, not hiding anything. "I've secured the 50,000 gold coins needed to construct the 'Slaughterhouse.' We can start the construction now."
"That's wonderful! Once the slaughterhouse is built, your strength will see a significant boost, and you'll be able to summon even stronger undead creatures—'Ghouls' to fight for you!" The Eye Demon flapped its wings excitedly and then snapped its fingers!
With a loud clap, countless shimmering gold coins rained down from the sky, as if they were free, cascading onto the barren land of the realm of the undead!
As the coins hit the ground, the entire realm of the undead began to tremble violently once more! In the next moment, a massive structure, towering hundreds of meters high and fifty meters wide, burst forth from the ground, appearing directly on the desolate land of the realm of the undead!
This was a tower-like building. Unlike ordinary towers, this one was wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. At the top of this tower was not a pinnacle but a gigantic meat grinder! At that moment, countless corpses, seemingly appearing from nowhere, were being thoroughly pulverized by the meat grinder, transforming into thick, viscous blood that fell to the base of the tower!
And at the base of the tower, a horde of grotesque undead creatures, with no skin covering their bodies and claws three inches long, had appeared! These undead beings were frantically devouring the blood that spilled from the meat grinder, voraciously consuming the crimson flesh, creating a scene that was utterly terrifying!
