Locke took Anne by the hand and walked out of the palace, through the vast drill ground, to a remote corner to the west of the inner city.

In front of you stand three large buildings:

The one on the far left looks like a large cavern or crypt made of a pile of yellow sand rising high in the flat ground—the Graveyard of Horrors.

In the middle is a large, dilapidated villa - the Scream House.

The one on the right looks like a normal blacksmith shop, except for the sheer size of the forge and forge it

"Master, which building shall we go to first?"

Locke pointed to the far left and said, "Let's go to the cemetery first, in the future, the ghouls will temporarily replace the expatriate skeleton corps." ”

"Oh, why temporarily?"

Locke smiled and led her as he walked, saying, "After the castle reaches the 4th rank and all the skeletons are converted into death knights, the ghouls will be thrown back to look after the house, after all, they can't take them to the streets." ”

Little Anne didn't seem to understand, but nodded anyway, indicating that she would figure out why.

Why didn't Anne understand?

Come to think of it, would you like to take a team of majestic black-armored knights to the streets? Or let a bunch of monsters crawl all over the ground to follow?

Normal people obviously choose the former, but Locke won't tell the little girl openly: The Death Knight is pretending to be forced.

The screaming house in the middle is rich in spirits, which are used for reconnaissance and to recharge demons in wartime, but Locke intends to let them find the evil spirits with good qualifications in preparation for the future Nemesis project.

As for the forge, Locke just wanted to use it to make armor for ghouls, after all, they couldn't bring them out to meet people in the form of those monsters, and it might be better if they were wrapped in iron armor.

took Anne into the cave in front of him, and at the moment of passing through the mouth of the pitch-black hole, what appeared in front of Locke's eyes was a world completely different from just now:

In the vast night sky, a bright moon hung high overhead, and in front of it, a large number of cross tombstones were inserted diagonally there, and a series of humanoid figures moved slowly back and forth between the tombstones, and the surrounding green phosphorus fire floated in it from time to time, looking at the meaning of 'horror cemetery'.

Locke, who was staring ahead, looked back at the road he had taken - the white glowing hole was in the back, and if he wanted to leave, he could just go out.

"In other words, the prairie will be like this in the future, right?"

It's like a graveyard, where the inside and the outside are divided into two completely different worlds, and the boundary is just the door.

Locke strolled around the edge of the graveyard, while Anne leaned on his shoulder and carefully patrolled the area, she couldn't guarantee that these brainless zombies would suddenly pounce on them, although she couldn't help resist them, but she could still do it with advance notice.

"What about ghouls?" After watching it for a long time, it was basically some zombies who had lost their dreams and were confused all day long, which made Locke a little puzzled.

"Go there." Anne stretched out her little finger and tapped to her right—there was a blue crystal floating around it that was as bright as the phosphorus fire around it, in the same shape as the ones floating around the core crystal, in the shape of a diamond, and at a cursory glance, it was easy to mistake it for phosphorus fire.

Locke nodded and walked towards the crystal, and when she was about to get closer, Anne immediately flapped her wings, and after breaking away from Locke's shoulder, her body shrunk directly into the shape of an elf, and then plunged into the crystal, operating in the same way as the core crystal.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" A low, hoarse female voice rang out, and although it was still Annie's voice, it was clearly not her, and like the core crystal, it was a will that belonged to this facility.

"I need some ghouls, when will you start making them?" Locke glanced at the crystal, turned to look at the nearest zombie, and said, "If you can, that's it." ”

"At present, only two zombies can evolve to the second stage in a day, do you want to execute it?"

"Execution."

As Locke's order arrived, the zombie that was still wandering in front of him was stunned, and then his whole body began to bow down, and a low roar began to come out of his throat.

In the next second, its entire humanoid outer skin was shattered, and under its fierce struggle, like a molting insect, a monster with a naked body and thick claws gradually came out, with a bright red body and thick claws, and the whole body was prostrate on the ground, with a fresh brain on its head, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and eyes so small that it was a little invisible-ghoul, which was considered to have evolved completely, just like an insect molting.

Locke watched quietly from the side, and was about to say something, but found that the monster kept howling at the moon as soon as it came out, and then turned around and immediately gobbled up the skin of the zombie that had just faded.

"Hey......"

Locke shook his head in his heart - no wonder this thing was not treated well by Lady Isabel, and everyone wanted to kick this virtue when they saw it.

But after watching it for a long time, Locke gradually felt that the ghoul looked quite attractive!

It's not that he has an aesthetic problem, but the monster's appearance is in some ways similar to a monster in a game that Locke was familiar with.

“...... Looks like a Resident Evil licker...... It's just that this tooth is sharper, there is no long tongue, and there is...... Looks like a cheap ......."

The ghoul quickly finished eating, and then scurried to a tombstone, with his limbs on it, and quietly looked up at the moon...... I didn't move there.

Locke watched stunned from the side, and finally laughed: "From a muddy nightmare to watching the moon, it can be regarded as a big progress." Then he turned to the crystal and asked, "What about its intelligence?" ”

"You can do some simple actions based on your commands." Crystal replied.

Locke nodded, and called out to the ghoul who was stopping in the distance, "Hey! ”

The ghoul immediately turned his head to look, if it were ordinary people who saw this scene, they would have been scared to pee, after all, it was not fun to be targeted by such a hideous monster.

Locke paused for a moment, and after stabilizing his emotions, he stretched out his hand and pointed to another zombie passing not far away and said, "Eat it." ”

"Shhhh——!!h

The ghoul roared, kicked hard directly in the direction of the zombie, spread his limbs and claws in mid-air, and pounced, and at the moment when the zombie didn't react to anything, he was directly pounced and rolled down, and then the ghoul began to bite desperately, like a wild dog that has been hungry for a few days.

"Stop!" Locke ordered again, he had to find out if the monster would follow his every command. (To be continued)
