The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

After Moran removed the silver plating effect from the little skeleton's skeleton, it was soaked back in the Bone Spirit Potion.

Anyway, the soul fire needs to be nurtured a bit more, so let the skeleton soak a little longer.

She also floated the basin filled with the potion behind the little skeleton so that it would be effective.

If you put it in a spatial ring, time will stand still there, and it will remain the same as when you first put it in, no matter how long you leave it there.

When Moran and Zizi came downstairs, Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph were already in the living room.

Seeing that Lilith and Vasita were all alone, it was clear that they had both chosen to be zombies.

Zombies don't need to cultivate soul fire; they just need to take good care of their corpses.

However, the initial maintenance of zombie corpses is not as simple as using bubble potions.

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph looked over upon hearing footsteps, and were all drawn to the oil lamp floating in front of Squeak.

Vasita asked in surprise, "Is this the newly born soul fire? It looks exactly like the one in the book!"

Lilith and Sylph approached and discovered the skeleton soaking in the basin.

"Why did you choose such a small skeleton?" Lilith asked, puzzled. "It's so small, wouldn't someone just smash its bones with one blow?"

"I don't plan to train it to be a skeleton warrior for now. I'd rather fight myself than train it to fight!" Moran said.

"Squeak!" Me too!

"Squeaky spoke quickly."

“Yes! Squeaky is also very good at fighting!” Moran said with a smile.

"I think the little skeleton is quite cute! It's even wearing a jeweled crown!" Sylph felt that this little skeleton was somewhat shattering her impression of undead creatures.

"Squeak!" Squeak jumped up and pointed to its head.

"Oh! Squeaky has the same one too!" Sylph pretended to have just noticed.

Seeing Zhizhi proudly raising its chin, Bier giggled nonstop.

"What about you two? How's your progress?" Moran asked Lilith and Vasita.

“I was busy all night yesterday making a well-sealed coffin for ‘Spicy Hotpot’ using black dead tree wood. I haven’t even dealt with the body yet! ‘Spicy Hotpot’ is the temporary name I gave it.” Vasida said, taking out the coffin.

Inside the tightly sealed coffin made of black dead tree, lay the naked body of an adult male.

Above the neck, there was nothing; there was no head.

This aligns more with Sylph's impression of undead creatures; even though they are clean, they still have a sense of decay.

However: "Why is there no head?"

“I haven’t decided yet what I want to make his face look like,” Vasita said.

The corpse material cards in the shop can all be used to adjust the appearance, as long as they don't go beyond the scope of ordinary human corpses.

She plans to raise her zombie servants into a zombie race and make them her companions, so her face can't be too casually sculpted.

“This face can be changed later! There’s a big difference between a zombie and a dead servant!” Lilith said, taking out the dead servant she had made.

She dealt with the corpse first, but hadn't prepared a coffin for the deceased servant yet.

A male corpse, with a random, generic face, and a skeletal frame that is the strongest possible for an average human male.

Standing upright next to Lilith, he was a head taller than her.

The body's chest and abdominal cavities remained open, the internal organs had been removed, and the inner walls were coated with a layer of black grease.

The genitals were cut off. It's clear that she intended to train her zombie servants for combat from the very beginning.

Lilith, however, was still not satisfied: "Ordinary human corpses are still too thin and weak."

"How strong a zombie do you want to be?" Moran asked curiously.

"It's similar to Squeaky's giant form, the kind that can carry me!" Lilith said. "Zombies are all about physical strength, so naturally the bigger and stronger the better. Anyway, I don't want to raise a zombie as a companion; I just want to raise a zombie henchman, a super-sized one, the kind that would shock a bunch of people when released!"

Moran didn't understand, but respected: "Then you'll probably have to go find the orc corpses. I've heard there are giants in another world, maybe that would be more suitable."

As the group was discussing, Bi'er sensed something, turned around and glanced back, then nudged Sylph blankly: "Foufou! Little Black has gone astray!"

Xiao Hei was the name Bi'er gave to the mutated, revitalized black dead tree.

Sylph looked back and saw that the sapling in the planting pot, which had been growing straight and upright, was now bent over towards them.

This has never happened before.

Since the mutated activated black dead tree was planted, it seems to have completely lost its activation properties and has never moved.

She immediately realized that something on their side had suddenly attracted it.

“It’s a corpse!” Moran blurted out.

Only Vasita and Lilith's zombie servants, or perhaps not even zombie servants at all, but merely corpse materials, were something that hadn't existed before and had suddenly been brought out.

Lilith floated the corpse beside her to the other side of the living room, while Vasida put away her coffin.

Sure enough, the sapling in the planting pot moved.

Its black half of the branch was moved to the other side along with the corpse of Lilith's dead servant.

The green half of the branch remained firmly pointing towards Moran and the others, without moving.

Half of the sapling was pointing to the left and the other half to the right, making one worry that it might tear itself in two.

Clearly, the black half was indeed attracted by the corpse.

But the green half is not.

“It seems we still have something here that attracts green branches,” Sylph said.

They tried them one by one.

Finally, Squeak walked to one side, and the green branch turned away.

Moran, Sylph, Vasita, and Lilith stared at Zizi, their gazes finally settling on the oil lamp in front of Zizi.

Squeak usually has many opportunities to come into contact with the mutated black dead tree, but the mutated black dead tree has never done this before, so it can only be something new that has appeared around it.

Only an oil lamp that nurtures the fire of the soul is most likely to be so.

However, the oil lamp was just an ordinary brass lamp, not even a magical item; Moran casually sculpted it using his metalworking magic.

"Is it the fire of the soul, or the essence of the soul?" Vasita asked.

Just then, the alarm clock that Zizi was holding rang, signaling that it was time to add more Soul Essence.

Zizi materialized a {Material Card - Soul Essence}, and before it could be added to the lamp, the green half of the mutated black dead tree trembled in unison.

“It seems to be the essence of the soul,” Lilith said.

Moran nodded and took out the corpse material card that Sylph had given her yesterday. It contained not only ordinary human corpse parts, but also soul essence.

He handed them to Sylph, saying, "Now these materials will finally come in handy for you." (End of Chapter)
