Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.

When Wolfe made the deal with the undead, he had anticipated that such a day would come, and he had made a lot of preparations for it. However, he did not expect that this day would come so soon and so suddenly, leaving Wolfe with no time to react.

Wolfe was calm enough and quickly recovered from the grief of his sister's death. He quickly gathered everyone at the iron mine.

There are a total of forty people here, all of them are young and strong men. Wolf lets them eat as much as they want every day, and they also do all kinds of heavy physical work, so they are all quite strong.

These forty people are among the many backups that Wolfe left for himself. First of all, these people have received a lot of favors from Wolfe on a daily basis and are very grateful to him.

Under Wolfe's arrangement, their families left the royal capital early, followed the previous caravans north, and settled in a town close to the undead.

Not only did Wolfe buy properties in full for each of their families, he also left a large sum of money to their wives and children.

And now Wolfe called them together and explained the situation.

He said that he was being hunted by the kingdom because he did business with the undead. Although they were unaware of it, as they were his workers, the kingdom would definitely not let them go.

There are only two options before them now: sit here and wait to be killed by the kingdom's soldiers, or escort themselves north to reunite with their wives and children.

Of course, Wolfe wouldn't let them just follow him.

Wolf prepared a set of sophisticated armor and handy weapons, as well as horses for each person. As long as they escorted him to the destination, not only would they be given all the weapons, equipment and horses, but they would also receive an additional fee.

Wolfe also considered that some people might kill and rob for money, so he transferred the money he earned from selling solid ice.

Every time he went north to trade, he would take a portion of it with him. Although most of it is still here and cannot be transported away, the money kept in the north is enough for Wolfe to squander in three lifetimes.

For the choice given to them by Wolfe, these forty people, without exception, all chose the latter and followed Wolfe north.

At this point, no one wants to die. Besides, following him north will not only allow him to reunite with his wife and children, but also give him a set of sophisticated weapons and equipment and a large sum of money.

Not to mention, Wolfe has taken great care of them during this period of time. Not only has he provided them with the best food, but he has also provided them with good accommodation. It is only reasonable for him to follow his lead.

Fearing that the Kingdom Army would catch up, after hastily burying his sister, Wolfe led forty people on an escape journey northward.

The horses prepared by Wolfe were all the best horses. In addition, the kingdom army was busy raiding Wolfe's house, so they neglected to hunt down Wolfe, the fish that had escaped the net, allowing him to escape successfully.

Going further ahead is the town controlled by the lich.

Originally there were a few people who wanted to continue following Wolfe, but when they heard that he was actually going to join the undead, they immediately gave up the idea.

Are you kidding? As a living person, doing business with the dead is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. Now turning to the dead is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, isn't it?

Seeing that no one was willing to follow him, Wolfe did not get angry. He handed the agreed silver coins to them and then went their separate ways.

At this time, the liches in the town heard that Wolfe had arrived, and went out to greet him happily, thinking that he had come with a lot of iron ore again.

But when they learned that Wolfe had been discovered by the kingdom, not only would he no longer be able to provide them with a stable supply of iron ore, but their existence had also been exposed.

The lich was extremely angry and raised his hand to kill it.

Fortunately, Wolfe defended himself in time.

He showed that he still had value, which saved him from being killed by the lich.

Wolfe analyzed his advantages to the lich.

Although the lich is powerful, her appearance is too scary, and she cannot change her appearance like Bai. As a human being, Wolf has a lot of money in his hands, so he can help the lich do what she cannot do.

For example, purchasing weapons and equipment, materials needed to cast specific magic, etc.

"Then what do you want?"

The lich, who was also a human in his previous life, naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Since the other party had taken the initiative to surrender and was willing to help him do so many things, he must have some ulterior motive.

Wolfe also spoke frankly about his purpose.

The first is revenge.

It was wrong for him to trade with the undead, but the kingdom killed Wolfe's entire family, and Wolfe would definitely avenge this. Now that the existence of the undead has been known to the kingdom, war is inevitable, it is only a matter of time.

Wolfe will wait until the undead army breaks through the royal capital and then chop off the king's head with his own hands.

The lich nodded in agreement.

Then Wolfe wanted more power. He was willing to work for the undead, but the undead had to give him enough power, and the prerequisite for obtaining power was that he could not be turned into an undead.

The lich fell into deep thought about this for a long time. After searching through the many books left by Bai, he quickly found this book and gave it to Wolfe.

As soon as Wolfe touched the book, he felt its extraordinaryness. The cold yet slightly slippery touch made Wolfe lose his grip on it and almost dropped it on the ground.

After Wolfe had the book firmly in his hand, the lich began to explain, "This is a book of the dead. It not only contains several undead magics, but it also teaches you how to absorb magic power and become a true necromancer."

When Wolf heard what the lich said, he was about to open the book immediately, but was stopped in time by the lich.

The lich then took out a small bottle of blue powder and said, "Although necromancy is powerful, its side effects are equally severe. If a living person learns it, if their soul is not strong enough, they will suffer the backlash and turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghost."

The small bottle of blue powder that the lich gave to Wolfe was the soul that had been crushed into powder.

Although this is only a small bottle, it contains ten complete souls.

Since Wolfe is unwilling to become an undead and wants to learn undead magic, he can only increase his own soul strength by taking soul powder.

Just as Wolfe reached out to take it, the lich put the small bottle away and said, "The value of this thing is beyond your imagination. It's not that easy to get it."

At the beginning, Wolfe tended to cooperate with the undead. He provided the undead with what they needed, and in return the undead helped him fulfill his wishes.

But the lich obviously didn't want that. What she wanted was to completely tie Wolfe to her own warship.
