I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno, with Liz in tow, raced westward.

After nightfall, Anno changed his mount to a level 14 undead zombie wolf.

I originally thought that since no one could see me traveling at night, I might as well use a high-level zombie wolf to travel.

But to his surprise, after summoning the zombie wolf, Anno discovered that its stats were much higher than before.

The speed is more than 30% faster than usual!

Anno pondered the reason and could only guess that the darkness of night had a bonus effect on the undead.

The zombie wolf carried Anno at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour at night.

The key point is that zombie wolves have no stamina; they can keep running like that indefinitely.

In just five hours, Anno crossed the Eastern Mirror.

Without rest, Anno continued running westward in order to save time.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Anno finally found traces of the church in a village with only a few dozen households.

It was still dark.

However, both Anno and Liz have night vision.

"I never expected this church to be located in a village!"

Anno put away the zombie wolf and walked with Liz to the church at the edge of the village.

This village is so small that it doesn't even have a guard, let alone anyone on night duty.

Anno's arrival went unnoticed by anyone.

The church is the same size as the previous two churches.

However, the church is in slightly less dilapidated.

Apart from the statue's head, which remains destroyed, the rest of the statue appears to have been cleared by the villagers.

At least there were no weeds or thick dust.

The surrounding walls and stone pillars look like they could be reused as a church with a little repair.

When Anno entered the church, he inexplicably felt that the other party was welcoming him.

Let's begin!

Anno took a deep breath, stood in the middle of the church, and sacrificed 500 yellow-level souls.

After the various souls emerged, they were instantly sucked into the array eye beneath Anuo's feet.

The rest of the process is quite familiar.

Consciousness enters the void and then watches the footage of the inherited skills.

The summoner in the image still has five summons.

While the summoned creatures were engaged in battle, several enemies rushed to the summoner's side.

At this moment, the summoner used a new summoning skill, knocking away all the surrounding enemies.

"Defense-related skills!"

Anno murmured softly.

The image then transformed into points of light and entered Anno's mind.

"That's it?"

Anno was somewhat stunned.

However, it was later discovered that there were still two skills passed down this time.

One of them is the [Resistance Aura] shown in the video. It consumes 500 points of magic power and can knock nearby enemies three meters away when activated.

Another move not shown in the video is [Grant], which has no cost.

[Grant] allows you to grant one of the summoner's skills to the summoned creatures. Once granted, the skill type cannot be changed. Upgrading the rank increases the number of skills that can be granted.

"So, does that mean summoned creatures can use [Poison] or [Calamity]?"

Anno's eyes lit up, and he even tried to use [Give] to bestow [Spiritual Offering] upon Liz.

It failed.

Anno then tried the "Five Visions All-Powerful".

It still didn't work.

"It seems that [Spirit Sacrifice] and [All-Seeing Eyes] are talents that cannot be bestowed."

After Anno understood this, he began to think about what skills to give to his summoned creatures.

Imagine if twenty summons took turns using [Calamity], it would save Anno a lot of mana.

Moreover, what would it be like to use all twenty [Calamities]?

Anno only saw waves of enemies dying.

The only downside is that you can only choose one skill at the moment.

Once selected, it cannot be changed.

"Forget it, let's not rush to confirm!"

Anno put the matter aside for a while and experienced the effects of the magic return array.

The mana-restoring array in the White Church restores 5 mana points per second.

The mana recovery circle in the Green Rank Church restores 10 mana points per second.

Upon arriving at the Yellow Rank Church, the magic circle restores 20 points of magic power per second.

This means a recovery speed of 1200 points per minute.

"Such a fast recovery speed."

Even if Anno's 5000 points of magic power are completely depleted, staying here for four or five minutes will fully restore it.

For an average professional to recover 5000 mana points without the aid of skills like [Clarity], it would take at least a whole day.

"Alright, it's time to go back!"

Anno realized that it would take 50 green-level souls to teleport from here to the church in the Ossans Mountains or the Forbidden Forest.

The level of the sacrificed souls was not increased; the number was simply increased fivefold.

Anno guessed it was because of the distance.

With a flash of light, Anno appeared in the church in the Forbidden Forest.

The main reason for choosing this teleportation node is that it is relatively close to Val'kam.

"Master, what do we do next?"

Liz looked at Anno, who had opened his backpack, and asked in confusion.

"I feel like I can do something different now."

I counted the undead hearts in my backpack. Including the ten I had taken from Xue Feibai, there were eighteen in total.

Anno waved his right hand, and twenty figures appeared beside him.

Apart from the two Black Wind Wolves, the Goblin High Priest, and the Harpy, the remaining sixteen were all undead zombie summons.

"Let's go find the army of the undead!"

Anno licked his lips, his eyes bloodshot but showing no signs of sleepiness.

Once you find the undead army, have a summon with the [Calamity] skill carry [Poison] inside.

And then... they bloomed everywhere!

"There are a lot of zombies, so let's have more waves."

Having made up his mind, Anno put away the other summoned creatures and, along with Liz, rode the zombies, following the trail left by the undead zombies.

Anno was still somewhat worried.

The undead army should increase its speed at night.

At this point, they may have gotten very close to Val'kam.

As Anno sped along, a sudden thought struck him when he saw the destroyed villages along the way.

They searched the village.

Apart from severed limbs and blood, Anno did not see a single living person.

Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from a well, so he cautiously went over to check.

Then he saw a little girl, about seven or eight years old, soaking in the water at the bottom of the well.

However, the panel shows that this is a level 1 undead zombie.

A level 1 zombie has a maximum of 200 HP.

Anno easily dealt with it with a single skill.

"Even ordinary people who are transformed have different levels, right?"

Anno stared at the destroyed well, his face extremely grim.

The village had at least several hundred people, who were probably all now part of the undead zombie army.

"hateful!"

Anno cursed under his breath and continued on his way.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Val'kam were breached and everyone turned into zombies.

As the birthplace of the Adventurers' Guild, Anno didn't want Val'kam to fall.

What's more, Maggie and Samantha, the mascots of the Adventurers' Guild, are both in Valcalm, as are Len and Uncle John.

Unless absolutely necessary, Anno doesn't want to give up on these people.

Liz sensed that Anno was in a bad mood, so she silently rode her zombie wolf beside him.

Another half hour passed, and as dawn broke, Anno finally saw the densely packed undead zombies ahead.
