Looking at the ashes, the ghoul angrily flung them away, and finally laughed loudly.

“You filthy crows, do you think I forgot what you did to me? I remember it vividly. You filthy and stupid crows ate two of my stomachs, one of my eyes, and one of my arms…

“I’m so slim right now exactly because of you idiots. You think I couldn’t recognize you anymore after you changed your appearance a bit? How do you feel right now? Even the great Pluto won’t be able to resurrect you…”

Lin Yun landed with a weird expression. He had finally realized that the ghoul wasn’t exactly smart or observant, even though he had awakened his wisdom.

Those poor crows were probably no bigger than one year old. Yet, this silly ghoul mistook them for some crows that had once hurt him in the past.

Such undead crows, which were no stronger than level 20, did love feeding on ghouls. After all, ghouls were one of the few low-level undead creatures that carried some meat.

Normal ghouls were no stronger than level 10. They were similar to low-level skeleton soldiers. Naturally, the crows didn’t hesitate to eat them. However, it had to have been a very, very long time since he was hurt by the crows…

If he had misidentified the crows, then it should come as no surprise that he misidentified Lin Yun too…

“Buddy, why are you silent again? Damn it, why can’t I ever learn to start a fire? You were born in the darkness, yet you are capable of igniting a fire. You’re truly blessed by the great Pluto…”

Lin Yun didn’t know what to say. Pluto was a name that every intelligent undead creature in the Plane of the Undead knew. Respected as the God of Fortune by the locals of the Plane of the Undead, he was one of the oldest liches and the best businessman in this place.

When Bane conquered the Plane of the Undead, Pluto was the only one who didn’t suffer any loss. Rather, he even made a fortune. He exchanged the soul fire of an ancient bone dragon with Bane for a large territory in the Plane of the Undead and the right to do business here. In his heyday, he even had a branch in Noscent.

However, there had always been few records about the Plane of the Undead in Noscent. The exchange wasn’t described in detail. Everything about the Plane of the Undead seemed to be taboo. Even after Bane conquered the Plane of the Undead, he didn’t send a governor to rule over it, and simply asked the locals to hand over materials regularly.

The only detailed records about the Plane of the Undead were the ways to kill the special undead creatures that couldn’t be killed in other ways.

The other records were all about how chaotic the Plane of the Undead was, and how brutal the undead creatures were.

Lin Yun had thought that the descriptions were all true. However, after traveling with the ghoul named Emir for a while, Lin Yun realized that the books he read were untrue and rigged.

When Emir took him to a city that was at least 20 kilometers in diameter and three kilometers high, Lin Yun saw strange creatures entering and leaving the city, and believed that the books he read were absolutely unreliable.

The books he read in the library in Heiss City never mentioned such a place in the Plane of the Undead.

Didn’t they all claim that the undead creatures were brainless idiots who had always been fighting for turf?

The city in front of his eyes had been built by emptying an enormous mountain of obsidian. Its scale was shocking even in Noscent. Lin Yun was absolutely dumbfounded to see it in the Plane of the Undead.

The obsidian was one of the best magic-resistant materials. To transform such a huge mountain into a city, no magic power could be used at all. The job had to be done with physical force.

But it was probably not a problem in the Plane of the Undead. Deploying 100,000,000 skeletons to dig the mountain was no big deal. If it wasn’t enough, 100,000,000 zombies and ghouls could help.

They didn’t need food or rest, and they were tireless and fearless. They were perfect laborers…

Emir grinned and looked up at the lofty city with admiration.

“Hey, Buddy, do you see the city that the great Pluto has built? They’re all here for the auction. Right, do you know what auction means?

“Haha, I know you don’t. Auction is the great Pluto’s invention. A lot of good stuff will be displayed in an auction. You can exchange for it with your own stuff. Whoever offers the most valuable item will have it.”

Lin Yun stared at Emir, and felt that his world had been turned upside down.

An auction in the Plane of the Undead, attended by a bunch of undead creatures?

Could they even attend any meeting without fighting?

Emir grinned and looked at Lin Yun proudly.

“Hey, Buddy, you’re completely befuddled, aren’t you? Haha, let me tell you. I was so smart that it only took me three years to figure out what the auction was about. You must remember not to cause any trouble in Pluto’s city.

“You know what ‘not cause trouble’ means, don’t you? It means that you must not kill those filthy idiots. See that hideous skeleton who’s missing a rib on the left side? Does he not know how ugly he is?

“There’s also that hideous banshee over there. Her head and her belly are so small. She’s so hideous. I want to rip apart her head.

“Oh, right, do not rip apart those idiots, twist their heads, or burn them into ashes…”

Emir rambled on, and explained to Lin Yun about things that could get him killed if he didn’t pay attention.

He even explained to Lin Yun what death meant for a long time.

Lin Yun was completely astounded by Emir, who was not just a rare gnome ghoul, but was also greedy. More importantly, his anesthetics were too strange…

Of all the undead creatures here, banshees and vampires were the only ones that Lin Yun didn’t find ugly or strange. They looked acceptable to him.

There was a guy who had a huge stomach. His mouth was on his stomach, and there were two heads above his shoulders. His flesh was all rotten. Yet, Emir jealously thought that he was very handsome.

“Emir, I see that to enter Pluto’s city requires tickets… Tickets are what they offer to the guards when they enter the city. Do you have that?”

Emir opened his mouth at Lin Yun, and stared at the gate for 10 minutes. Then, he stood straight in shock.

“Buddy, I don’t. What do we do? Why did I not know that? Why do I not have a ticket?”

The black mist that covered Lin Yun’s skin roiled. He covered his head in pain. He really didn’t know how to communicate with Emir, who was downright stupid…
