As Robbie slew the King, the massacre in the hall slowly subsided.
Gu Xi took two steps forward, and with a heavy point of his right hand holding the Cold Wind Staff, he tapped it on the ground.
The inconspicuous ring on the index finger of Gu Xi’s right hand flickered for a mont.
Within the fifteen-kiloter radius centered on Gu Xi, all living creatures, even the mice underground outside the woods, felt so tired of living, they might as well just die.
As a result, these lives began to self-harm one after another.
Those with slightly lower life force just simply died.
As for the castle in front of them, it was the place most severely affected.
In just an instant, the balance between life and death power within the castle was broken.
All the half-alive creatures took a blade to themselves.
Because their existence was originally ant to trap players who ca in.
Their life was simply not high.
As soon as players took action, they had to die.
And those killed by players did not belong to the neutral undead, and even having death lord powers was useless.
Players coming in had to carefully interact with these guys; making a mistake could cut off clues or anything.
Only this way could players demonstrate their understanding and use of death lord powers.
If operated well, they could easily complete the task and get access to the Thorn Golden Crown.
But no one expected that soone like Gu Xi, a rookie not even at Level 5, would have an orange armor with psychic influence in his hand.
This orange armor could affect an extrely large range and could influence the power of the spirit.
Mind Kill!
With this, all such half-alive beings in the castle voluntarily gave up their lives.
Many of them hadn’t even seen Gu Xi, and they were influenced by the psychic to commit suicide, affected by death power the instant they died.
Now they had beco neutral undead, and the situation was different.
Gu Xi, who possessed death lord powers, had no fear of these neutral undead.
Leaning on the Cold Wind Staff, Gu Xi waved at Robbie.
Robbie had a puzzled look, not knowing what Gu Xi intended to do.
"Bring that guy’s head over here."
Gu Xi was a bit speechless at Robbie.
If it were Luna and the others, just a glance from Gu Xi and they would get things done.
Not like Robbie, who needs to be instructed on what to do.
Then Robbie realized, and he quickly brought the King’s head to Gu Xi.
By now, the King was already in a skeletal state, and the only way to prove he was once a King was the few strands of hair still attached to the bone and the crown on his head.
Reaching out to take the King’s head, Gu Xi lifted it high by the last bit of hair.
"Listen to , all of you. I am now the new master of the castle. The forr King has been defeated by . The castle is now open to . I now command you all to co out, and I can guarantee your safety."
Gu Xi’s voice was not loud, but it could always be heard nearby.
At this ti, the true function of Gu Xi’s death lord abilities finally ca into play, and a large number of undead dressed as servants erged from nearby.
They were servants of this castle.
Mainly responsible for all the work inside and outside the castle.
A castle like this typically requires about three to four hundred servants.
Of course, the number of people who ca out this ti was not as many, totaling less than two hundred.
Gu Xi could see the situation here at a glance.
So servants were likely killed in the earlier battle, and so didn’t want to join Gu Xi’s ranks, choosing to step back and find places to hide.
Gu Xi had no dissatisfaction with their choice, as he looked at the servants, first sweeping his gaze over them, then loudly asked.
"Very well. Do you have a steward here?"
These undead servants exchanged looks, and finally, a skeleton covered in cobwebs stepped out.
This skeleton looked as if it had just been dug up from the ground, with bones still stained with filth.
Yet from its attire, it was clear he should be a subordinate butler.
"Are you the steward?"
"Male Steward." The undead bowed his head, "In this castle, there is no steward, only a Minister of Internal Affairs."
As the Male Steward explained, he glanced at the pile of corpses nearby.
Gu Xi understood imdiately, realizing that the previous battle had wiped out all the castle’s mid-to-high-level personnel.
Now the ones who beca undead were all these rookie servants, who didn’t have much status and wouldn’t know much.
As for the soldiers, Gu Xi glanced at the corpses on the ground, deducing that the soldiers in the castle were also likely dead here.
But Gu Xi was not without thods.
He pointed directly to the main city gate.
A squad of ghosts dressed as White Impermanence floated out from the gate.
"You guys take them along and open all the rooms in the castle now. You should be able to do that, right?"
Upon hearing Gu Xi’s command, the Male Steward imdiately replied, "Yes, I know where the keys are kept. I’ll take you there now."
The Male Steward thought the ghosts that floated out were individual entities.
However, the ghosts dressed as White Impermanence were used to such tasks and said nothing, swiftly following along.
They knew well what Gu Xi needed, and as soon as the first room was unlocked, several White Impermanence rushed in to transport the contents to the hall.
After several thorough searches, the White Impermanences’ dismantling actions were noticeably faster by a few degrees.
Simultaneously, the range of items they moved expanded significantly, even packing up coal clinkers from within the castle fireplaces, and delivering them to the hall.
In the hall, there was a chubby green undead sitting there.
This was an expert Gu Xi enlisted from the Mysterious Academy.
Originally part of the Mysterious Academy’s logistics staff, he was mainly in charge of procurent for so supplies in the Mysterious Academy.
In his eyes, he knew very well what items were valuable and what were not.
Having him around ant Gu Xi didn’t need to personally appraise the items transported back by the Ghost Squad.
At this ti, Gu Xi, along with his subordinates, was heading toward the interior of the castle.
When these male servants appeared, Gu Xi already knew that those half-alive people in the castle had all turned into neutral undead.
The biggest issue standing in Gu Xi’s way had been resolved, making it quite safe for Gu Xi in the castle now.
All Gu Xi needed to do now was find the Thorn Golden Crown to complete his promotion.
It was likely by then that everything in the castle would have been moved out.
As he made his way toward the castle’s interior, Gu Xi glanced at the torches mounted on the walls of the castle.
The torches were bronze and looked nice; they should be taken as well later.
