Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

After this attack, Lynn finally realized that he had been too honest and had not adapted to the identity of a dark wizard.

Lynn, whose mindset had changed, quickly came up with a plan.

Perhaps the "Consultation and Answering" tasks in the task hall can also become excellent bait for him to select easy targets.

My strength as a first-class apprentice is inconspicuous in the mission hall, which makes me easy to arouse evil thoughts in others.

Leaving aside those who obediently pay their dues, what about those who try to renege on their debts or even harbor malicious intentions...?

Then don't blame him for being impolite!

If the academy asks, Lynn will have a valid point, since the other party attacked first and he was only acting in self-defense.

Hmm... the opponent you choose can't be too strong, otherwise it's easy to lose.

Lynn put Wu Liuqi into the Demon Sealing Bag, and then put Holm's corpse and the remains of the Skeleton Hunter into the Skeleton Ring.

These are all valuable materials.

Hmm... they didn't even spare that hard bone shield and dagger.

The bone shield is great, it's mine now!

To prevent Holm's soul from dissipating, Lynn returned to the laboratory as quickly as possible and used the magic array on the control panel to seal Holm's soul within the corpse.

This way, it will be extremely suitable for refining undead in the future, and its strength will be greatly enhanced.

Watching Lynn rush back, looking travel-worn, and busily working on a corpse, Gregor couldn't help but curl his lip.

Good heavens, I just finished crafting the Death Knight and had a few days of peace, and now I've got another corpse from somewhere?

Second-class apprentice?

This kid's got some skills!

They really are a handful.

After finishing her work, Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to her mentor, and went back to her room to meditate for a while.

After fully restoring his magical power, he happily went to the "market".

With these twenty-odd magic stones as "start-up capital," Lynn returned to the Apprentice Corner of Ghost Market.

After taking a stroll around, Lynn had a plan in mind.

He first stopped in front of a stall that specialized in selling undead mounts.

Several skeleton horses of various shapes and sizes and two huge skeletal wolves were tied up at the stall.

These two are the most common low-end undead mounts, while mid-range mounts include bone birds, undead griffins, dark chimeras, and wyverns, among others.

The most high-end one is naturally the legendary Bone Dragon!

Lynn's gaze quickly settled on an exceptionally tall skeletal warhorse.

Its skeleton is thicker than others of its kind, the soul fire in its eye sockets is a ghostly green, and flames of the same color are wrapped around the joints of its limbs. It paws its hooves restlessly from time to time, appearing unruly.

It was clearly a fine horse, and Lynn took a liking to it at first sight.

In the future, it can be used as a mount for the Death Knight, and it can also be ridden out as a means of transportation. It sounds pretty cool.

In my past life, I never got to drive a luxury car until I died. In this life, being able to ride an awesome mount is a way to make up for that regret.

"Boss, how much for this skeletal horse?"

Lynn pointed to the horse and asked.

The stall owner, a lean apprentice, glanced at Lynn's black ironwood nameplate and lazily quoted a price:

"Ten magic stones. This horse is spirited, but has a good foundation. It runs quite fast, has considerable combat power, and also has the abilities of [Charge] and [Trample]."

This price isn't cheap; it's twice as expensive as a regular undead.

After all, it's a mount, and one in the best condition at that, so the price is naturally higher.

Lynn didn't speak, but directly used [Analysis] on the skeletal warhorse.

[Target: Restless Skeleton Warhorse]

[Rank: lv1 (Standard) Peak]

[Composition: High-quality skeleton (Strength: Medium), Unstable soul fire (Activity: High)]

【ability】:

Charge: Increases burst speed over short distances and boosts impact.

Trampling: The forehooves slam into the ground, generating a shockwave in a wide area.

[Potential: Medium (Good skeletal foundation; if the soul flame can be stabilized, there is a chance to advance to level 2)]

[Status: Untamed and wild, requires strong suppression.]

...

It has good potential, and its skills are a perfect fit for the "Death Knight" class.

Lynn was satisfied, but remained outwardly calm and began to haggle:

"This horse is too fierce and probably difficult to control. Moreover, I see that the spirit fire in its eye sockets is unstable; it might just fall apart on its own one day."

"Alright, I'll just take the five magic stones and help you solve this problem."

The stall owner's lips twitched: "Five yuan? You're bargaining way too much! Nine yuan, that's the lowest I can go! Fine, take it!"

"Seven dollars! If that doesn't work, I'll go look somewhere else." Lynn made a move to leave.

"Alright, alright! Seven yuan it is! I'll sell it to you at a loss!" The stall owner looked pained and quickly untied the reins.

Although this horse is of excellent quality, its peak level 1 strength and unruly nature make it very difficult to tame.

He was extremely restless when locked in the stables every night, often attacking other mounts; he was no pushover.

It's better to sell it; it'll save us from causing trouble here.

The transaction was complete, and Lynn led the skeletal warhorse to an open area.

This horse was indeed wild and untamed. Sensing Lynn's mental energy attempting to connect, it immediately reared up, emitting a silent neigh, and its soul fire pulsed violently.

【trample】!

The horse's hooves landed heavily, generating a powerful shockwave that spread outwards.

What the hell!

Lynn hadn't expected the horse to be so fierce. He only had time to put on a layer of [Skeleton Armor] before being blasted away by the shockwave.

The skeletal warhorse gave Lynn no chance to react, launching a [Charge] attack directly at Lynn's location, ramming him hard.

"Click—"

With a sharp crack, the horse's head slammed into Lynn, causing the bone armor to crack and disintegrate rapidly. Lynn himself was also thrown into a daze by the impact.

Seeing the ferocity of the bone horse, Lynn stopped entangled with it and directly summoned the Death Knight from the Soul-Sealing Bag to shield himself!

"Death Knight, stop it!"

With its heavy body landing on the ground, the Death Knight exuded a chilling aura of death, its empty eye sockets staring directly at the restless skeletal warhorse.

Although the Death Knight's realm was lower than that of the peak level 1 Bone Horse, his strength was much greater than that of the Bone Horse.

Especially as a Death Knight, one naturally possesses an overwhelming advantage over undead mounts.

The bone horse sensed this suppressive force, which was of the same origin but even stronger, and its body stiffened instantly, its struggles diminishing considerably.

The Death Knight stepped forward, stretched out his large hand covered in bone armor, and grabbed the skull of the skeletal horse!

The immense power rendered the bone horse utterly powerless to resist, and even its soul fire was suppressed and dimmed.

After struggling for a moment, the bone horse finally gave in, lowered its head, and its soul fire became docile.

The Death Knight nimbly mounted his horse, wielding a greatsword made of bone, exuding a fierce and brutal aura of a battlefield charge.

"Great, very energetic!"

Lynn nodded and put the man and horse back into the Soul-Sealing Bag to avoid drawing too much attention.

With the Death Knight around, I don't have to worry about suppressing and controlling the skeletal warhorse, which saves me some mental and spiritual energy.

However, if you want to ride it, you need the Death Knight to give you the command; you can't control it directly.
