The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!

Chapter 548: Chapter 437 Suddenly Becoming Rich_3

The paths to Magic Potion recipes exist, but magic does not.

The problem isn’t major, I’ll just slowly seize it later.

"Death Path then?"

"I don’t recommend you get too involved with them. Those ghosts are the Oathkeepers of the Death Path. Whoever dances with ghosts is bound to invite disaster."

"You forgot, we are the undead." Lind didn’t mind the vagueness.

Sun’s Testament, there are five orthodox paths, with the Sun Knight Path being the most righteous. The remaining four each have their own inclinations.

The Wizard Path is even more diverse, including magic, transformation, divination, Magic Potions, and more, which is much better than the way Lind has been feeling his way across the river by touching the stones. As for the paths of the Perfumer, Crystal Mage, and others, they’re more niche.

The Death Path is also divided into Necromancers who control corpses, Liches that turn themselves into corpses, and those who become ghosts after death. It would be fine if this path wasn’t open, but once it is, Lind is 100% confident that immediately there would be a large number of reclassifications among the undead.

Whether it’s strong or not isn’t important; looking cool is a matter for a lifetime.

Worst case, just stack equipment, stack blessings, numbers are not a problem at all.

Suddenly grasping a great deal of knowledge, Lind hasn’t quite come to terms with it—he’s never fought so abundantly before. Now he doesn’t want to stay in the Magic Land for a moment longer and just wants to ride his baby Subterranean Tunnel Worm back to the Xilu Continent, then keep his head down and level up until he is fully leveled before making his move.

That’s wrong, Magic Land might not have any Legendary Level

But a man must keep his word, even if Lind has the power of five Legendary Level Great Knights, he may not necessarily be a match for the Corrupt King, so he forced himself to keep his promise.

The Princess had given everything to him without reservation; he couldn’t be an ungrateful person.

"Alright!" Lind nodded. "We can help you."

"I know I haven’t given you much yet, but... huh?" Magdalena suddenly looked up, puzzled at Lind, she had only given some rather secret knowledge.

There’s no shortage of knowledge or means to acquire knowledge in this world; what’s lacking are the people who can absorb knowledge and become strong.

Just like the Beastmaster’s blessed land, every Beastman has the chance to become a rank 6 powerhouse with effort, but many Beastmen can only flit between rank 1 and rank 2 all their lives, unable to improve, just like those NPCs in Rand Kingdom who don’t even have the talent to drink a Magic Potion for a second time.

In the end, the only one in Rand Kingdom worth taking under the wing is William, who is "one of the main characters of the version."

"Would you follow me and help take back Misty Rain City?" Magdalena tentatively asked.

Lind just quietly looked at her.

Undead are only immortal, not fools. Three thousand undead struggling against the Lady of the Night, going to battle old nobility of version 2.0 who are all over rank 6, believe it or not, they’d turn to someone else the next day.

It’s fine to suffer in a game, but you can’t just suffer.

"Right, the gap in strength is too large," Magdalena sighed. If the strength of the undead was rank 4, 3000 undead of rank 4 might have a chance to win.

But, it’s easier said than done.

"We can start with a trial cooperation," Lind spoke, "but I have one more question, why does the Corrupt King protect you?"

"She’s my aunt." Magdalena didn’t think before replying, to show her trust in Lind.

She believed that Lind decided to help her for such a small reward, he must be someone who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, just like the teacher who once taught her, scolding her with words but caring in the heart, yet she never made the effort to study properly.

Some Beast woman’s tail started sweeping the floor again.

Lind also fell silent.

As expected, as long as you are nobility, you can always get the scoop anywhere. It’s a pity the Recorder Officer lady didn’t come along; one has to say that Magdalena’s maternal grandfather or grandmother, in any case one of them, has quite a peculiar taste.

"So let us show our sincerity first, our strength may not be great, but we work efficiently!" Lind said. "Now, the Corrupt King is an enemy to the Lionheart King, right?"

Seeing Magdalena nod, Lind spoke, "I can dispatch my people to Lionheart King’s territory to gather information and slowly break them down! With our lives!"

"This is very risky!" Magdalena immediately looked up and said, though she wanted to help her aunt, even for the undead, making slight moves under the nose of a Beast King was unlikely to end well.

"Of course, I know that," Lind sighed as if he was bearing tremendous mental agony, "but before we are fully prepared, expanding the human territory is also important. In the future, when you wish to draw powerful beings from various material planes, the base we expand will better ensure their safety!"

What he truly desired was to seize the opportunity to make a name for himself, to show off his flair and to completely dominate Magdalena, ensuring that "King Lind" would become the only designated guide NPC in the Magic Land.

Otherwise, by the time the Corrupt King and the Lionheart King, who sounded like commoner NPCs, started their battle and led to Magdalena being elevated on a pedestal, wouldn’t he have lost out significantly?

Lind, who had previously refused to do such a thing, suddenly made such a huge sacrifice. Magdalena’s first reaction was that her reward had tempted him, but she immediately discounted that possibility.

It couldn’t be; the seemingly precious reward was of little use. Knowledge was valuable but not worth such a hefty sacrifice. Even if the undead could die infinitely, every death would hurt, and surely there would be suffering.

Just like the "Undead Knight" path, being one of the Knights of the Apocalypse, many have chosen this path only to become numb to death, unable to die even if they wished to, and ultimately chose to banish their own souls.

So it could only be for the reason Lind previously mentioned, which was to test whether she also harbored the same heart for humanity.

How despicable!

Yet his contributions to humanity were still endearing and commendable.

She decided not to pursue it further.

"I will inform my aunt of this matter, in case you need help."

"It’s a deal," Lind immediately responded. "If the Lionheart King moves to act, I hope the Corrupt King will lend a hand."

"I’ll persuade my aunt," Magdalena, who looked easy to deceive, replied. "But she won’t make a move before Lionheart Fort falls."

"That’s what we are going to do, destroy Lionheart Fort," Lind confidently stated.

That’s more like it; there’s not much to gain from a washed-up "Princess," but there is certainly something to be made off the Corrupt King.

And Magdalena thought the same of the "rustic" before her eyes as someone easy to deceive.

With the undead’s unique abilities, if they could keep on dying crazily and limitlessly, they might indeed knock on the doors of Lionheart Fort. By then, her aunt would surely make her move.

If everything from the Wilderness Ruins to the Beast’s Nest fell to the Corrupt King, the development of humans would surely be more stable.

A pity, though, for the undue hardship of those undead, who after countless deaths would probably be left with nothing but decaying husks.

Only Soralis stared in astonishment.

If she hadn’t misheard, the meaning of Lind’s words just now was to have the Corrupt King and Magdalena together pay for the undead’s move to Lionheart King, and with the Black Blood proclaiming the benefits of joining Lionheart Fort daily, unless something unexpected happened, the undead were bound to claw their way to their share.

One act, three parties benefit!

No, it’s a fourfold gain! Including herself.

The beast lady recalled how she had said before that getting rid of a Beast King to retrieve the Echo was the fastest way to awaken the Beastmaster, and Lind had already found a handy man in the Corrupt King.

So what had Lind given up from his side? It seemed only the undead.

Thinking this, the beast lady sighed.

To have a group of fiercely loyal, fanatical believers endlessly giving and sacrificing, she couldn’t fathom why they would follow someone like Lind, envy biting at her enough to make her want to bite someone in turn.

Lind spoke, "I must go tell the undead the news."

Such good news should be shared with the undead immediately; he worried they might rise early to head for work.

Don’t be another’s beast of burden in the real world; I’m offering new, fresh fodder here!
