Chapter 210: Blending into the Blood Cellar District
"If, I mean if, we send troops to guard the small building, can we hold it?"
Gu Xi quickly raised a question.
Luna and Shaya looked at each other and finally shook their heads simultaneously.
"Why, has the situation reached this point?"
"No, sir, Victoria is currently undergoing a transition. Even the mirrored dungeon might not be easy to traverse. The fact that we managed to return is already a stroke of luck. There's no way to send a large number of troops over."
Luna said helplessly. She also understood why Gu Xi would propose this idea, but this time, the connection between Victoria and Aridowei was forcibly severed. Even she couldn't ensure the smooth exchange between the two.
If Gu Xi's Hearthstone were of higher quality, it would be better. But unfortunately, it's only of green quality. No matter how anxious Luna is, there's nothing she can do.
So, everyone in the room fell silent.
Only Gu Xi lightly tapped the table, spreading his thoughts.
He reviewed the resources and items he could use, considering if there was any way to solve the situation.
If it really doesn't work, with his current strength, he could try to attack Aridowei Tower.
Maybe that place could connect to the mirrored dungeon, and from there, he could fight back to Victoria.
However, the consumption of forces along the way would likely be significant.
Gu Xi didn't care about the consumption of forces. His only worry was that even after capturing Aridowei Tower, he might still not be able to enter the mirrored dungeon, which would be quite awkward.
Just as Gu Xi was at a loss, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The key to this situation is the Westminster Church incident.
And Gu Xi happened to have a copy of the crystal telling the story of the [Westminster Church Incident].
This means he can enter Victoria through the dungeon.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi immediately stood up.
"Luna, we'll go through the Westminster Church."
"Ah?"
Luna looked shocked.
However, after Gu Xi explained his plan to her, Luna seriously said, "Sir, your plan might actually work."
"As long as it works. Everyone, get ready. The Westminster Church Incident is a 5 to 10 level dungeon. We need to adjust our forces accordingly.
Luna, I just got a land deed and put it in the council hall. You go and integrate it.
Additionally, the twenty building blueprints also depend on you."
"Don't worry, sir. I'll handle it."
Gu Xi then turned to Shaya, "Shaya, you'll stay in Aridowei City for now and help me handle the intelligence. There will be a need for you in this dungeon."
"Yes!"
Shaya responded crisply.
Finally, Gu Xi looked at the few half-coal residues, "As for these few, let them stay in the city for now. I don't know where else to place them."
At this moment, the neighbor's sister, as Shaya called her, stood up.
"Sir, could you transform me into a spirit?"
Gu Xi looked at her in confusion, "You want to be transformed into a spirit?"
"Yes, I am already half-dead, so I hope you can transform me into a spirit to escape this fate."
Gu Xi did not answer directly but looked at the others.
However, these few didn't have the guts of the neighbor's sister. When Gu Xi looked over, they all shrank back, not even daring to meet his gaze.
"Sure, turning you into a spirit isn't difficult. There are many ways to transform into a spirit, and I have an advantage that others don't. My city is a city of death, and you can undergo further transformation here.
But what do you want to transform into?
A contracted spirit obviously won't work. I'm currently at the peak of level 4, not reaching level 5. Unless my spirit contract level advances, I can't contract another spirit.
And with your current condition, you clearly don't have the potential to become a spirit leader.
If you transform here, you can only become an ordinary spirit soldier, with almost no other options."
Listening to Gu Xi's words, the neighbor's sister earnestly said, "Sir, my family used to make alchemical potions, and I still remember many formulas. I can do this work."
"In that case, it works. I happen to have many crucibles, though they are dead crucibles. But dead things can still have a chance to come back to life. I can give you this opportunity.
Go find Dimi later and see if she needs help in the alchemy lab."
"Dimi?"
"Follow Luna out later, and you'll see her. She usually sits in the council hall."
After arranging for the neighbor's sister, the others finally raised their heads to look at Gu Xi.
However, Gu Xi had no intention of using these cowards. He pointed at the half-coal residues, "You will be responsible for guarding this small building from now on."
As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, a mysterious force locked the half-coal residues in the small building.
Then Gu Xi pushed the door open and walked out.
Shaya, following behind, looked helplessly at the half-coal residues, wondering what they were thinking. Such a good opportunity just slipped away.
As soon as they stepped outside, Gu Xi sensed a burst of red light from behind the Hundred-Armed Giant Graveyard.
The red light carried a strong scent of blood. It was from the [Blood Cellar Deed] that Gu Xi had recently acquired, now being integrated into the city.
[Blood Cellar Deed successfully integrated, city experience +2.]
[Level 2 Vampire Mansion activated, city experience +6.]
[Level 2 Blood Garden activated, city experience +4.]
[Level 3 Blood Pool activated, city experience +6.]
[Level 4 Vampire Statue activated, city experience +4.]
[Level 4 Blood Throne activated, city experience +4.]
[Level 3 Bat Cave activated, city experience +3.]
[...]
With a series of notifications, Gu Xi was surprised to find his city of death had gained a significant amount of experience.
This discovery delighted Gu Xi. He extended his hand, and the Evil Coffin appeared before him.
Gu Xi sat atop the Evil Coffin, pointing his Cold Wind Staff in the direction of the blood-red light.
"Let's go check it out."
The Evil Coffin, upon hearing this, quickly sped towards that direction, nearly throwing Gu Xi off.
After rushing a short distance, Luna appeared behind Gu Xi.
"Sir, the construction queue has been arranged."
"Good." Gu Xi, holding tightly to the chains on the Evil Coffin, responded vaguely to Luna.
Following the Evil Coffin were Dimi and Shaya, keeping up at a high speed. They also wanted to explore the newly integrated Blood Cellar District.
