The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 30

Chapter 30: Activating Buildings and City Patrol (Seeking More Readers)

“The number of Contracted Undead has finally increased by one.”

Seeing the current situation, Gu Xi’s mind immediately became active.

Luna’s existence brought him a city—Alierdo City—but Luna’s insufficient combat ability was also very obvious.

Why not take this opportunity to go back to the graveyard in Alierdo City and see if there are any suitable undead he could contract?

While Gu Xi was thinking about this, the battle at the end of the sewer came to an end.

Similar to the situation before, when the last rat was killed, the black mist at the end of the sewer turned into a white, transparent light curtain.

After clearing both ends of the sewer, Gu Xi suddenly noticed that the water pipes on both sides of the sewer began to fill the sewer with water. It seemed that the activation task on the well side had been completed.

Gu Xi had no intention of continuing there for now.

He called out to Luna.

“Luna, let’s go, let’s activate the candle factory.”

Luna quickly came to Gu Xi’s side, followed by the skeleton combat squad.

When Gu Xi and his team climbed out of the well, they could see that the sewer below was already knee-deep in water.

After coming out of the well, Gu Xi handed the linen bag to Luna.

“Luna, take a look at this.”

Luna took the item from the linen bag and her eyes lit up. She immediately picked up the hearthstone. This item was most familiar to Luna, who was originally an elf.

“Master, this is good news! We’re planning to establish a foothold in Alierdo City, right? This is a great opportunity! If we have a residential building in Alierdo City, I can use this hearthstone to set up a fireplace. Then, we can travel between the council hall and the residential building through the fireplace.”

“Okay, let’s act quickly. I’ll go activate the candle factory first, and you go build the city gate. Let’s split up; it will be faster.”

Luna had no objections. After receiving Gu Xi’s orders, she quickly flew towards the council hall.

Gu Xi, along with the Skeleton Soldiers, headed towards the candle factory.

The candle factory was still the same as before, unchanged. After arriving, Gu Xi decisively dumped the strange rat meat, throwing it all into the pot where something was already simmering.

As the strange rat meat was thrown in, Gu Xi noticed that the candle factory began to change.

The candle factory’s color turned white; animal skins hung on the door, now rat skins; and the contents of the large pot also turned white.

Most importantly, Gu Xi noticed a wooden chest had appeared in a corner of the candle factory.

Gu Xi went forward and opened the chest. Inside, there were 30 white candles, as thick as a finger.

【White Candle (White): Special undead item, can generate a certain amount of negative energy, replenishing the life force of undead (has a particularly strong effect on Ghostly Spirits and ghosts)】

As an Undead Mage, as soon as Gu Xi touched the white candles, he felt the strong negative energy within them.

As long as these candles are lit, a negative energy field will quickly form. All undead illuminated by the candlelight will receive the support of negative energy.

For the undead, this is equivalent to real food, used to replenish stamina and life force.

It seems that the choice of a city’s buildings is never without reason.

At this moment, a “ding” sound echoed in Gu Xi’s ears.

【City gate construction initiated. Total cost: 300 negative energy points, 3 units of wood, 3 units of stone. Completion time: 4 hours. 】

Hearing this, Gu Xi felt relieved. Three buildings had been activated, and the city gate was under construction. Half of his worries were gone.

He still had some time, so Gu Xi decided to take his men for a stroll around the city, to see what was inside these houses.

After all, entering rooms without opening chests would be a disservice to Gu Xi’s gamer identity.

So, Gu Xi immediately led the Skeleton Soldiers to search nearby houses.

Gu Xi discovered that James I was truly wealthy back then.

He went to great lengths to deceive people. Everything was done to the highest standard.

Everything inside the rooms was arranged according to the original layout.

Except for the absence of people and corpses, he had arranged for everything else.

Every building in Gu Xi’s area was fully furnished.

In houses closer to the main street, the furniture and other items were dragged out by his combat squad to be used as barricades.

But the things that couldn’t be used as barricades remained in the houses.

Gu Xi saw many old-style clothes, and even wooden rocking horses made for children.

In the houses farther from the main street, there were even more items. Gu Xi even found weapons such as bows and arrows, swords, and spears. Outside, there were chicken coops and dog houses.

After patrolling several times, Gu Xi didn’t transport all these things. He only counted the existing houses.

Ignoring the size of the buildings for now, there were a total of three hundred and sixty-two buildings, serving as the backdrop.

More than half of them were two-story buildings; there were also thirty-two three-story buildings and three four-story apartment buildings.

Besides these three hundred plus buildings, there were also some collapsed buildings due to age; these were empty spaces suitable for constructing other buildings.

The single-story buildings were located near the well.

From the layout of the houses, Gu Xi could tell that the area he occupied was on the edge of Alierdo City.

Therefore, his city had five external passages; three led to different districts within Alierdo City.

These three passages had corresponding checkpoints.

Gu Xi and the Skeleton Soldiers patrolled each one.

One passage required crossing a bridge over a river to enter the upper city of Alierdo City.

Another passage was blocked by a city gate.

Without taking down the bridge and the city gate, Gu Xi couldn’t even dream of reaching these areas.

The easiest checkpoint was located in the southwest corner of the city.

This passage led to a district in the lower city, which also had a river pier and freight docks, an industrial area of Alierdo City.

The only checkpoint on this road was a six-story tower. It wasn’t large, looking like a barracks from afar. Taking it down shouldn’t be too difficult.

Gu Xi planned that once he had sufficient troops, he would first take this area and expand his territory.
