Chapter 671: Information on Wights

The next day, the Gods that are involved in the game were in a meeting.

"The next Palace of Inheritance spot is changing. I am opening the Palace in the Undead Realm."

Hou Yi spoke in a calm tone.

"Why the sudden change?" One of the gods asked.

"Nothing, I just felt like it."

"You felt like it? More like you felt the price is good enough." Kartikeya said with a cold snort. Hou Yi looked at him with a cold gaze.

"What you want to have a go? Face the truth if you are man enough. No wonder your wife left you. You sick greedy piece of shit."

The whole area was suddenly full of battle aura and killing intent. Clashing each other as the whole realm trembled.

The gambler who is silent all the while tapped the table with a finger and both of them stopped. He then looked at them with a lack of interest and said.

"Just vote and decide on what to do. Don't make a fuss. But do remember Hou Yi. I might be a gambler, but every action you take under influence of others will turn into a gamble. Consider the odds before you do so."

He spoke and just stayed silent for the rest of the time.

"I think it is a bit premature to send them to Undead realm. They wouldn't be able to survive for that long. There are no rules and no social orders like reputation and honor to let them old dogs attack the youngsters. As long as they are delicious enough, they will be devoured and I believe the players are all tasty for them."

Hou Yi looked at the person that spoke and said.

"I thought about it. We would be giving the location of the Palace of Inheritance directly. And we are also only opening one Palace of inheritance.

In the Palace of inheritance, I will give them the charm to save themselves. The charm works three times and they can survive…."

Hou Yi went on to explain and even after he was done, not all of them are satisfied.

"What kind of game would be interesting if we keep on sheltering the Players? Anyway, I agree to this proposal. Let us just vote." Indra said halting the discussion and the voting began."

There are only two votes left out of which one of them voted neutral. So, only one vote left and it happened to be Gambler.

"I need to add a condition."

"What is it?"

"Let our players bring some helpers to this Palace of inheritance. Each player can bring three extra people."

"What is the point of this?" Indra asked coldly.

"The point is I want it to happen."

Gambler said unreasonably clearly pointing it out that he doesn't give a shit about their opinion and his condition passed without much resistance.

The next Palace of Inheritance was decided to be held within the realm of Undead.

Indra is smiling sinisterly as he left the place.

Hou Yi stopped him and asked.

"Why are you so against a player?"

"Why do you care?" He replied clearly annoyed. Hou Yi frowned and said.

"Indra, I am not your subordinate, what you asked of me, put a larger target on my back than you told me, so I better know the reason."

Indra explained and Hou Yi clearly understood what his problem is.

It is not that Sam acted against him in the first Palace of inheritance. That is only one of the reasons. The main reason is Arman's current situation. They are gods and they have some ways to keep track of the Players and everyone used their own methods.

Arman is now currently Sam's lackey. Every time Sam was contacted by Ling Tian, Indra also contacted Arman, and every time he did that, Arman acted as if nothing happened and he behaved like he is his own man. But after that conversation, he will go back to Sam and be his obedient lackey.

If not for the fact that there is a rule that Gods shouldn't interfere and manipulate the players, he would have killed Sam a long time ago, or at least he would have helped Arman solidify his mind. These players are their symbols of pride, they wouldn't be able to contact other players or keep an eye on them, but they can do so for their own players and Arman is always beside Sam like a dog.

This made him feel frustrated.

But the worst part of it is that he couldn't do anything about it.

If he did something to Sam directly, Hou Yi believed the Gambler would directly go bash him upright in his mansion and the life in Indra's realm might even be gone to extinction.

It is too much of a risk to just get his pride back.

So, all he can do is manipulate the competition as much as he can and kill Sam within the rules so that Arman could escape the influence.

Meanwhile, Sam doesn't know that a God is trying to mess with him and he is even pulling other gods into his plans. He is currently in the middle of creating extra defenses for the town.

Right after the attack, the very night Sam made the dwarves start the construction. He started building a large water ring around the town. The building is difficult but digging up is easy.

The water ring gets the water from the stream. Sam thought that the flow of the stream might be affected and it turned out that it didn't.

The flow of the stream is the same as before no matter how much water he drew into the town.

For the next week, the construction went on and the next batch of vampires finally came.

Sam didn't wait for them to attack this time. He led the attack and captured another six vampires easily.

He overwhelmed them with his friends and beasts. They didn't expect that as soon as they entered the vicinities of the town, they would be attacked.

Half of the Vampires that they caught are from the Minotaur territory and the other half of them came from the town that was already sacked.

Sam interrogated the latter half about what they are doing with the town. But the answer didn't satisfy curiosity but only answered a few of his speculations.

The only orders they got from the team in the Minotaur territory who are the acting commanders of the whole operation is that they should hold the town head mansion and let the Minotaurs farm and take the rest of the town and the fields. Only the mansion is in their hands.

Sam has no plans on going to the Minotaur territory or the other town to look for the Vampires. From what they said, the Vampires couldn't wait and if they don't get any answer from this second batch, the third batch would come in the next two days by any means necessary.

Because in another week, the Wights will be coming and Vampires don't have the most amicable relations with the wights.

Sam decided to ask about the Wights and he got some interesting information.

Wights are similar to Vampires in many ways, they can create undead servants just like Vampires. But there is a difference in their servants.

Vampires can make their servants have their sentience. Even though those servants will lose their abilities they had when they are alive, they could still learn the suitable abilities of the vampire servants and think to their own a certain extent.

As for Wights, they have a different result in making the undead. They can preserve the abilities of the person they are turning into their servant but they will lose the sentience and couldn't think and acts mostly out of instinct.

The only common thing in both of these cases is them creating servants, apart from that they can create normal undead from dead bodies.

They are natural necromancers.

There are other differences and similarities. The similarities include the two species consuming vitality.

Vampires are weird species because they drink blood from live creaturess and take away their vitality. But if they are hit with a light or even the water filled with vitality directly, they couldn't take it.

Just like that, the Wights are also weird species.

The Wights consume vitality in a different way and that is from flora. All types of plants are their food.

But they also couldn't take the external vitality directly hitting them. The only difference they have from vampires, in this case, is that they aren't affected by light elements as much as the vampires, rather they are more sensitive to the wood element vitality.

When Sam learned all the details, he fell into deep thought. The Water filled with vitality using the healing formations acts good enough against the undead creatures and servants, but the mirror room is not a good thing against the Wights.

He doesn't have the wood element, otherwise, that would have made things easier for him.

After some thought, Sam just decided to deal with them head-on. Relying on their weakness is only one way to do it. He has many ways as long as they are within the Pre-transcendent realm initial stages.

At this moment, he is just waiting for the rest of the Vampires to come. He already has twelve people and he only needs another four to complete his first set.

Compared to it, the minotaur set is only half-filled. Sam is eager to fill his sets. Once he does that, he could use them whenever a situation arises where the numbers matter.
