Chương 30: Chapter 30 The Gray Area
After this battle, Francis added all the 5 free attributes he obtained to his attack. At present, his willpower was strong enough to freely use the Slave's Rope and the Marionette.
Therefore, there was no need to add more dots, he should prevent data from overflowing.
All his skills were mainly focused on attack and secondary control. The improvement of attack power was very important to Francis.
He opened the skill panel and integrated the newly acquired skills to improve them.
When Francis finished distributing all the skill points and absorbed the ghost fires and the black crystals, a buzzing sound suddenly came from his brain, as if someone was ringing a huge bell in his head.
When the buzzing sound was over, Francis was surprised to find that a map option appeared at the end of the attribute panel.
The option with red letters was especially eye-catching among the group of black words. Francis tried to click it.
All of a sudden, countless names of places, mountains, and rivers drawn by lines appeared in front of him.
"The map of the skeleton plain..."
Francis checked the map carefully and found that it could only show the area he had been to.
Where he had never been, it was shrouded in a mist.
"It seems that I have been to the place where the servants have been..."
Francis saw a grey area on his route.
They already had passed by there, but there was still a mist that covered it.
Not far from where they were standing, there were countless teams made of red dots moving slowly.
"It's not the skeleton army. Is it Augustine's camp?"
The skeleton army, who was walking beside Francis, hadn't been drawn special attention on the map. There were only 4 simple words to describe them.
However, there was no information about them at the red dot.
Francis could only guess.
However, compared to Augustine's camp, Francis was more curious about the gray area.
'Didn't I find anything special about that area when I passed by? Did I miss the hidden treasure too?'
This idea excited Francis.
It was known to all that after passing through a different world, one would always find an incomparable treasure by chance.
Francis didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
"One thing to say, this mode is becoming more and more like an online game. I wonder if this world is made up of data, and I am just a bug that has accidentally entered it."
Francis murmured. In addition to fulfilling the tasks issued by the system, Augustine was more like the first boss who was to help Francis grow.
The team he sent to assassinate Francis was not only eliminated by Francis but also strengthened Francis's team.
Even Augustine was destined to be a weapon in Francis's hand. It was a reward from the system, which made Francis stronger.
Augustine's every move was more like set by the system.
"After passing through a different world, everything I meet was inconceivable."
"If Augustine is really destined to be a stepping stone for my growth, then it's also his honor."
Who would refuse to be the son of destiny?
Francis put away the map.
When he was about to use the Slave's Rope to fill the missing underlings, he received a message from Elsa in his mind.
"Master, is there still any skeleton bone?"
"What's wrong?"
"I want to auction the weapons of the blacksmith shop."
Elsa told Francis everything that had happened recently.
It turned out that since she sold a large bag of skeleton bones to the blacksmith shop, she had become a distinguished guest of the blacksmith shop and was invited there in two or three days.
The owner strongly recommended the newly made weapons of the blacksmith shop and wanted to reach a long-term cooperation with Elsa.
Elsa was responsible for the supply of skeleton bones, while the owner of the blacksmith shop steadily provided Elsa with a variety of weapons and equipment.
When Elsa heard such a request from the boss for the first time, she wanted to reject it subconsciously, because she didn't need so many weapons.
What's more, if the news was known by the academy, no one knew what kind of uproar it would cause.
Subconsciously, Elsa didn't want the professor to know that she had signed the contract with the skeleton and became the underling of the skeleton.
Although Francis was wise and powerful.
But as a ghost mage, she became a servant of a ghost skeleton.
If this kind of thing was spread out, people would laugh their heads off.
However, before Elsa could refuse, the boss told her that something big was going to happen in the city.
"So, you mean that as long as you provide enough skeleton bones, the owner of the blacksmith shop will give you the tickets of the weapon auction which is held every 20 years?"
"Yes, I heard that orange equipment will appear in this contest."
Elsa had only heard of this level of equipment in legends, and she had never seen it in reality.
Therefore, when the owner of the blacksmith shop made this request, Elsa wavered.
She also wanted to see what orange equipment was.
"But I didn't promise him. If you don't agree, I can refuse directly."
Francis didn't say anything for a long time, so Elsa added at once.
"It doesn't matter. Since there is a chance, how can we let it go? I will ask Ghost to send the bones to you later. You need to ask how many gold coins it will take to auction the orange equipment at this kind of contest."
Since there was orange equipment, Francis wouldn't let it go.
Besides, Augustine could only give him orange weapons.
According to Francis's instructions, Garbage collected all the level-30 skeleton bones on the ground and handed them to Ghost, looking at the mountain of skeleton bones in front of it.
Ghost turned around and looked at Francis with its head tilted.
"Ahem, ahem."
Francis cleared his throat.
Although Ghost didn't say anything, Francis knew what it was thinking from its eyes.
"You go to ask Elsa for the cloth bag first, and then come back to take the bones. I'll ask Mouse to help you."
With Francis's words, Ghost nodded and plunged into the black vortex.
Francis counted the remaining servants.
Previously, to deal with Sidney, he had randomly grabbed several skeletons of similar level nearby and chosen them as servants. Now that he had spare time, of course, he had to make a new choice.
By the way, he also named his assistant who had performed well in the battle before, Galleon.
Recruited him into the core members.
No matter how changeable the means of attack were, an assistant could always reverse the situation at a critical moment. Francis didn't think that Galleon is not important, although he was at low levels and had few skills.
On the contrary, if Francis started to train him carefully from now on, his performance might be better than expected after his career transfer.
After choosing the team members again, Francis took them to the gray area on the map.
Near the grey area, there were countless ridges.
At that time, the cave Francis passed by was near the gray area. They walked for about half an hour and arrived at their destination.
With Francis's arrival, the fog on the gray area was slowly removed little by little.
In the middle of the two ridges, it could be seen clearly that there was a small mountain standing there.
Elsa was reading the mage book in the dormitory when a small black head popped out from the ground.
"Ghost!"
She ran excitedly to poke Ghost's soft head and said happily, "Where the bones that master are asked you to bring here? Take it out quickly."
Ghost shook its head and stretched out its arms to make a few gestures.
Elsa didn't know what he was trying to say.
Seeing her confused face, Ghost was a little anxious. It came out of the ground, stretched out his finger, and drew a circle on the ground.
"You want... A mirror?"
There happened to be a round mirror on Elsa's desk. She immediately stood up and handed it to Ghost.
Ghost looked at himself in the mirror.
"Don't go. Tell me what you want..."
Seeing that Ghost was about to get into the whirlpool again, Elsa became anxious and grabbed Ghost's feet.
Ghost turned around and made some gestures again, then it pointed at the wooden box in the corner.
"You want a cloth bag? Alas, it's also my fault. I forgot that master doesn't have a bag to take bones..." Elsa patted her head and blamed herself.
