Chapter 106: Advice From the Witch

The battle in the southern part of the Death Basin has ended.

Although there are still undead wandering around the battlefield from time to time, the large groups of undead nearby have probably been gathered together by Abbott.

At present, these few low-level undead can be eliminated by patrolling scouts.

On the battlefield, Mu Hua dragged Abbott's unrecognizable body, with a staff floating beside him. He was still wearing a shirt and trousers. Anyone who saw him at this time should know that he was a magician who practiced the Hand of the Mage.

Soul-eating Staff: Magic Power Gain 10%, Charge: Bone Soul 2/9, Death Ripple 1/1.

Abbott's staff, this staff has two more difficult attack magics, of which the 10% magic power gain can make the holder's magic more powerful.

The properties are monotonous, the hardness and toughness of the staff material are not very good, and it can't withstand the collision of weapons.

However, the enchantment of the Bone Soul has a relatively high requirement for the magic core. From the perspective of the magic granted by the staff alone, it can barely be considered a high-level staff.

The Soul-Eating Staff is not a combat staff. After Mu Hua got it, combined with Mu Hua's body proportions, the size of the staff changed slightly compared to when it was in Abbot's hand.

It is as thick as an adult's wrist and 1.2 meters long. It is like a mountaineering stick when held in the hand.

The staff is made of magic metal mixed with mithril. The magic core is not integrated into the staff, but embedded in the staff 20 cm below the top of the staff. There are a few hell-style blood-colored lines on the staff.

For the staff, except for the magic core, the material is average, the production process can be described as rough, and the maker is somewhat suspected of coping.

After the battle, some adventurers were responsible for collecting the spoils on the battlefield. Ravens appeared in the sky again. These blind ravens sometimes used the broken bones of the skeleton undead as food.

Mu Hua dragged Abbott's body to a big rock and threw the body at his feet. Mu Hua and Taibesha leaned against the rock and looked at the people busy on the battlefield.

"Mu, you guys are so quick. Abbott, ah~~, this guy is so miserable." Rubin had put away his battle axe and came to Mu Hua's side, looking at Abbott's body with a complicated expression.

For ordinary adventurers, there is actually no loot to collect in this battle.

After the ghosts died, they turned into ashes. The skeleton warriors, skeleton guards and some skeleton generals were all their bodies. They had nothing to drop.

The battlefield had been exploded by corpses earlier, and the magic cores were all broken. There was really limited things that could be collected here.

But who made the adventurers who participated in this battle have many necromancers and witches?

Some people were scanning the magic core with instruments. Mages and warlocks were wandering around the battlefield, looking for bones that could sense the fluctuations of the soul. Mu Hua even saw someone searching for zombies worth repairing among the broken corpses.

This was because all the cold undead corpses belonged to Mu Hua. Otherwise, they would probably collect the relatively complete undead skeletons on the battlefield.

The way the necromancers cleaned the battlefield was probably difficult for ordinary people to adapt to.

The Black Armor Skeleton General and the Death Knight were both killed, but unfortunately only the corpse of the Black Armor Skeleton General was left to Mu Hua.

Even though the bone armor on the Black Armor Skeleton General was already in tatters, it did not prevent the logistics personnel from removing the equipment from the corpse.

That's right, they removed it, and even chiseled and buckled it to get rid of the bone armor on the body.

These bone armors are not considered equipment in the conventional sense. They are part of the Black Armor Skeleton General's body, but they can be used as a forging material.

Mu Hua shouted twice, telling those guys who were picking at the bone armor to get out of here, because the body of the black-armored skeleton general belonged to him.

Rubin came to Mu Hua, and Caroline arranged the team and came here too.

Mu Hua nodded to Caroline. In the joint team, Rubin had always been the one to arrange things between the two of them, and Mu Hua was more dissatisfied with Rubin.

"Boss, tell me, what's going on?" Mu Hua kicked the lich's body and asked Rubin.

At this time, Abbott was afraid that there was no complete bone left in his body. Taibesha was really ruthless.

"Alas~, he used to be a member of my team, a pretty good guy, but it's a pity..." Rubin looked bitter, but his words were interrupted by Mu Hua waving his hand.

"I'm not interested in your affairs. You came to kill him, why didn't you say so?"

"Mu, our target is indeed Abbot, but you also know that we can't be sure whether he will appear." Rubin frowned.

"What about now? Your goal has been achieved, and there should be many undead communities in the basin. Continue?" Mu Hua said in a flat tone.

"The Dead Sea Basin is mostly inhabited by low-level undead. You see, with so many of us, the benefits here are not suitable."

"But if we go to the burial ground, most people are a little weak, lack cooperation, and are too easy to suffer losses in battle." Rubin said hesitantly.

"That means we helped you fight a battle, you fulfilled your wish, and then everyone got nothing and disbanded on the spot?" Mu Hua's face showed obvious disgust.

"Haha, you can't say that we didn't get anything. The Death Knight's lance exploded, and the Black Armor Skeleton General also dropped two heavy swords and a tower shield, all of which are good mid-level equipment."

"We don't want any of the gains from this battle. We'll give them all to the guys who helped us temporarily." Rubin laughed. While speaking, he looked at the staff beside Mu Hua, as if to imply that Mu Hua had already gained a lot.

Let's not talk about weapons such as lances and heavy swords. In addition to the solidity of the materials, the most important thing about shields and armor is that they contain a certain strength of magic barriers.

Just like an energy shield with a certain value, external attacks will consume the value of the energy shield until the energy is exhausted, and the attack will touch the armor itself, and this value also largely determines the grade of the armor.

"Don't want any of it? What about you?" Mu Hua looked at Caroline, his tone was not without the suspicion of provocation.

"I owe him a favor, and this time I've paid it back." Caroline said with a smile.

Although Caroline has a young appearance, she is probably not younger than Rubin. The reason why she looks so tender and lovely is probably because she took the youth potion when she was young.

That thing can keep the appearance and physical signs of the person taking it, but it does not affect the normal life span of the person taking it. Even so, its production cost and selling price are quite expensive.

"What about his bounty?" Caroline's words of returning a favor are considered to have cleared her own name. Mu Hua pointed at Abbot's body again.

"Mu, this cannot be divided. He did not leave my team before he defected to the monsters. I need his bounty to maintain the reputation of the team." Rubin said seriously.

"But we killed him." Mu Hua put his arm around Tabitha's shoulders, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Tabitha's face.

"You have already got what you want." Rubin looked at the staff floating beside Mu Hua.

"I deserve the staff for blocking the Black Armor Skeleton General and the Death Knight. Or do you think this broken staff is more valuable than human life?" Mu Hua glared.

"You..." Rubin was also a little angry, and was interrupted by Caroline when he wanted to say something.

"Okay, Rubin, it's your fault for not making the purpose of the battle clear at the beginning. You should give Mu Hua some compensation."

Caroline mediated. Mu Hua was different from other adventurers who temporarily joined the battle. He was young enough and should have a background. The most important thing was that he had a strong talent for spellcasting.

I think Rubin must have discovered these through the previous battles, otherwise he probably wouldn't have communicated with Mu Hua so equally.

"Okay, okay, what else do you want?" Rubin shook his head and smiled bitterly, spreading his hands and asked.

"The magic stones of the Black Armor Skeleton General and the Death Knight." Mu Hua said.

"Huh? Magic stones? The Death Knight's magic stones have not reached level 7, I will give you 400 demon gold coins." Rubin was surprised. Magic stones are not magic cores, and Mu Hua didn't want much.

Two level 5 magic stones, twenty demon gold coins.

Two level 6 magic stones, sixty demon gold coins.

Compared with Abbot's bounty, Mu Hua didn't want any.

"No, rules are important, I want magic stones." Mu Hua shook his head. He had discovered earlier that the smelting effect of 'fresh' magic stones seemed to be better than 'overnight' ones.

"Haha, Mu, you are really old-fashioned. But you are right, rules are really important to us." Rubin laughed.

At this time, Rubin had a better impression of Mu Hua. He just thought that Mu Hua asked for benefits because he was dissatisfied with him hiding Abbot's affairs, and was just expressing his attitude.

"Mu, do you want to join my team? I am confident that within ten years, the 'Roaring Undead' will complete the registration of the brigade." Rubin invited Mu Hua.

"Ten years? You should live ten years first." Before Mu Hua spoke, Caroline interrupted.

"Mu, you shouldn't risk hunting demons now. You should grow up in a safe environment." When Caroline said to Mu Hua, several people present were stunned.

Caroline's tone and expression gave people a sense of persuasion. Rubin and Tabetha understood her meaning in an instant.

She probably saw Mu Hua's improper fireball technique and was impressed by Mu Hua's magical talent. After all, Mu Hua is still young. It would be a pity if he died early in the adventure.

"Well, thank you for your advice. Well, actually my main job is an educator, a professor at Springer College." Caroline's kindness did not resist Mu Hua. He said jokingly and prepared to collect corpses on the battlefield.

"Oh? Springer? Did you receive the notice of the branch opening ceremony?" Mu Hua meant to joke, but he didn't expect Caroline to be full of surprise.

"..." Caroline's question made Mu Hua stiffen, and he turned his head to look at Caroline mechanically.

This... Could he be a colleague? Mu Hua actually felt guilty about his professor status.
