Upon entering the Magic Plant District, Gu Xi noticed that the district seemed to have transformed.

The giant tree roots standing in Evil Wood Lake appeared to be melting, slowly fading away.

Gu Xi knew this was the result of Fu Gu and Amirka’s efforts.

The 24-hour expedition missions from the barracks all revolved around the Magic Plant District; Amirka continuously ventured into the mist, bringing back a lot of oddities for sacrifice.

The activation sacrifices for Evil Wood Lake had now reached the sixth round.

Though it was unclear how many rounds were left, the previous sacrifices had already impacted Yalidu City.

[Evil Wood Lake activation sacrifice, sixth round (337/1000), all city troops’ Attack +1, Defense +1, Life Force +10, all Arrow Towers in the city automatically gain Poison Attack, the lake water can refill, enhance, and purify corpses to improve their quality, toxic clouds form over Yalidu City, all non-allied troops are grounded, altering the territorial environment of nearby regions.]

The influence of Evil Wood Lake was significant for Yalidu City.

Not to mention, enhancing the attack, defense, and life of all city troops practically doubled the combat power of all the ordinary soldiers in the city.

The reason Gu Xi’s undead had such a strong combat power was through steadily boosting it with the city, heroes, bosses, and various means.

Evil Wood Lake had become the focal point of Gu Xi’s Magic Plant District development.

He even considered renaming the Magic Plant District to Evil Lake District.

"Master, up ahead is the Witch’s House."

Luna pointed to a fallen tree not far away.

Gu Xi looked over and saw that one of the trees had a window, and a woman who seemed in her thirties was leaning out the window, looking outside.

She wore pink clothes and held a pale yellow handkerchief, waving delicately at Gu Xi as she saw him looking.

"Is this the witch?"

"Master, this is a medium-sized building, not a core building. It’s already good to have someone working here; don’t expect any attributes."

Luna said somewhat helplessly, "I originally wanted to place the lady from Shaya’s neighboring house here, but she insisted on going to the Alchemy Laboratory, so I had no choice."

As they spoke, Gu Xi arrived at the Witch’s House.

However, Gu Xi realized the woman hadn’t acknowledged him and was still leaning out the window looking outside.

Gu Xi pushed open the door and entered the small cottage, finding it only ten square meters.

The walls were adorned with various green herbs and flowers; opening the door released a medicinal odor.

Inside, there was only a not-too-large wooden table with three items on it.

Even with Gu Xi’s entrance, the witch remained leaning at the window; from inside, Gu Xi saw that the witch only had an upper body, with her lower body entirely absent.

This situation left Gu Xi speechless; he stepped forward and picked up the three items on the table.

[Slaughter Magic Scroll (Green): Can use bloodthirsty magic three times on the battlefield; each time is equivalent to this magic (Level 5 effect).]

[Slaughter (Level 5): Allied troops influenced by the magic gain an additional 8 Attack against Dragons, Nine-headed Monsters, Behemoths, Angels, and Demons for 30 minutes.]

[Eternal Power Potion (Green): Increases Power by 1 point permanently upon consumption.]

[Flash Mirror (Green Treasure): Occupies an off-hand equipment slot, granting all soldiers under command the effect of blindness, with a 20% chance to blind the enemy on the battlefield.]

After examining the three items, Gu Xi turned to Luna and said.

"Luna, assign someone to keep an eye here; I want everything produced here."

"Alright."

Luna understood Gu Xi’s intent immediately and hadn’t expected such an output from the newly built Witch’s House.

When Gu Xi drank the Eternal Power Potion, Luna had already arranged for someone to come by daily to purchase all refreshed items; the refreshed stock would be delivered to the Assembly Hall first thing.

"Alright, let’s explore other places. By the way, the day after tomorrow starts a new week; recruit all city troops to give hope to those without subordinates."

"Okay!"

Luna and Gu Xi left the Witch’s House together.

"Also, handle the Library the same way; those three weekly peas must be secured, no waste allowed."

As they spoke, Gu Xi and Luna headed towards the Tavern.

Gu Xi had sent all the information and rumors garnered throughout the night to the Tavern for the barmaid to process.

It had been a while since delivery, and Gu Xi wanted to see how much valid information had been collected this time; the Record Papers he obtained should also prove useful there.

Gu Xi needed to handle things at the Tavern.

As Gu Xi prepared to mount the Evil Coffin, a sudden commotion erupted near the Garrison Gate, with horns blaring crazily, as if something had happened.

"Let’s have a look."

Gu Xi felt a chill in his heart; pointing the Cold Wind Staff towards the Garrison Gate, the Evil Coffin raced towards that direction.

Upon arrival at the Garrison Gate, Gu Xi found Amirka had already taken control of the gate with troops.

Outside the gate, a Holy Knight, covered in wounds, was carrying something as he staggered forward.

This Holy Knight had lost all consciousness and was moving solely on bodily instinct.

It appeared he was carrying a woman on his back.

Gu Xi frowned slightly; despite his bloody face, Gu Xi recognized the Holy Knight as one of those who went to trouble the Mirror Image Area Westminster Church Apple Tree Root.

What had happened—could they all have perished in the mirror image of Westminster Cathedral?

With this thought in mind, Gu Xi jumped off the Evil Coffin and quickly made his way towards the staggering Holy Knight.

Perhaps sensing something, the Holy Knight opened his eyes faintly, noticing Gu Xi approaching with the Cold Wind Staff.

He smiled at Gu Xi before turning his body slightly, laying a female corpse before Gu Xi.

The Holy Knight’s eyes then lost their last glimmer as he knelt on one knee, dying motionlessly.

"Luna, have him buried beneath the Sword of Courage."

Gu Xi gestured towards the deceased Holy Knight, finalizing his arrangements.

Yet his focus wasn’t on the Holy Knight.

He was intently gazing at the corpse laid before him by the Holy Knight.

That face unmistakably belonged to Eldest Princess Anna of the Britain Kingdom.
