Chapter 1002: Chapter 612: Blood Moon Blessing, Is There a Stargazing Tax?! (2)

The Undead’s innate skills come from racial heritage, not from learned experiences.

As their strength increases, the innate skills they master and can unleash also multiply.

Among the undead, only a small portion of middle-high tier undead choose to learn spells and become Magic Professionals.

The vampire mage in front of Fang Zhou is a female.

Her strength is not very outstanding, only at the Silver Tier.

But as a middle tier undead, to actively learn undead magic beyond her vampire racial skills has already surpassed most of her race.

After the vampire female mage actively performed a ritual, she said to Fang Zhou, "Welcome to the Eulogy for the Dead Magic Shop, my lord!

Do you require any magic?"

Fang Zhou nodded slightly and said, "Let me take a look first..."

The vampire female mage replied, "Alright, my lord, please wait a moment, I will fetch the shop’s magic catalog for you."

After a short while, she retrieved a magic catalog, handed it to Fang Zhou, and then stood respectfully on the side, silently waiting for him to browse through the magic names.

Fang Zhou stood in the shop, silently flipping through.

Looking at the dazzling array of undead spells, he nodded secretly to himself.

Although this is just a small shop in a newly built undead city within the Wailing Blood Plain, it is still quite ample in terms of middle-low tier undead magic.

It must be said, as an immense fragment of the Undead Realm Lord, Blood War Furnace has collected plenty of knowledge from various worlds.

As Fang Zhou slowly browsed to the golden tier undead spells and saw the prices, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The prices of golden tier undead spells were beyond his expectations.

Originally, he thought he could afford them, but unfortunately...

Fang Zhou simply glanced at a few spells before wanting to close the magic book.

The price of each golden tier undead spell here exceeds over 200,000 Blood Moon Coins.

Clearly, this is a figure that couldn’t be satisfied by emptying Fang Zhou’s pockets.

He currently has just over 100,000 Blood Moon Coins on him.

As for using middle-low tier undead resources from the Tomb Territory to buy them, it’s obviously not fitting either.

The value of middle-low tier undead resources in Blood War Furnace has greatly depreciated.

Because the undead here lack not middle-low tier resources, but Blood Moon Coins.

Under the traits of Blood War Furnace, all undead can use Blood Moon Coins for cultivation.

The benefits of using Blood Moon Coins for cultivation are evident; they can absorb not only death energy but also soul power.

Fang Zhou slowly put down the magic catalog, unable to stop a sigh from escaping his heart.

Compared to the undead, the Longxia Federation’s support for Professionals is indeed significant.

After seeing Fang Zhou putting down the magic catalog, the vampire female mage had a receptive expression.

Fang Zhou shook his head and said, "Forget it... there’s nothing I want to buy."

A look of regret appeared on the vampire female mage’s face, and she looked at Fang Zhou with sincere eyes, asking, "Won’t you take a look at anything else, my lord?"

But Fang Zhou’s skin was already as thick as the walls of Tusk City.

He waved his hand and then nonchalantly exited the Eulogy for the Dead Magic Shop.

After walking far away, he couldn’t help but look up and sigh, I’m so poor!!!

......

Afterward, Fang Zhou wandered around Tusk City.

Compared to Sea City Military Academy, Beast Fighting City, and the Dawn Legion where his undead mage main body stayed, the undead resources in Tusk City were much more abundant.

Resources from apprentice Black Iron to Golden Glory were all available.

The only deficiency was Blood Moon Coins.

Of course, this isn’t Tusk City’s problem, but Fang Zhou’s problem.

After wandering around for a while, Fang Zhou felt increasingly short on cash, having to prioritize earning Blood Moon Coins as his next important task.

However, while wandering near the City Lord’s Mansion, Fang Zhou discovered a grand building.

He was very familiar with this structure, it was the Blood Moon Observatory that he had encountered in both the Corpse Hills and the Wasteland of Strife.

This Blood Moon Observatory in Tusk City was more than ten times grander than the one in the center of the City of Strife.

The death energy and Undead Blood Moon Will flowing within it far exceeded those of the City of Strife by over tenfold.

This excited Fang Zhou immensely.

After all, since he crossed the dimensional Teleportation Gate to Blood War Furnace, he hadn’t successfully communicated with the Undead Blood Moon Will of this realm.

While this did not affect Fang Zhou’s personal strength, it prevented him from opening the Tomb Teleportation Gate for extended periods, preventing him from upgrading his Tomb undead leaders to the Golden Tier.

In the past few days, he had followed the Trist Merchant Group along the Endless Blood River, visiting several undead fortresses but found no places like the Blood Moon Observatory that could connect to the Undead Blood Moon Will.

Fang Zhou originally thought this to be a matter of luck, and now, unexpectedly and effortlessly, he found the Blood Moon Observatory he desired in the greatest undead city he had encountered, Tusk City.

As long as he could gain the favor of the Undead Blood Moon Will of this realm, deploy his personal Tomb and undead subordinates into Blood War Furnace, and transform a powerful undead army, the current problems of his Blood Moon Coin shortage would easily be resolved.

After all, in any world, having sufficient power equates to sufficient wealth.

With clarity in his thoughts, Fang Zhou’s Soul Fire blazed brightly as he moved towards the Blood Moon Observatory.

However, he was stopped at the entrance.

A Golden Tier Corpse Witch, shrouded in a dusty Mage Robe, extended a skeleton-like hand towards Fang Zhou.

"Outsiders stop.

The Blood Moon Observatory welcomes all undead visitors.

Please pay the full Stargazing Tax."

The words of the Golden Tier Corpse Witch, devoid of any emotion, poured a cold shower over Fang Zhou’s passionate heart.

Stargazing Tax, this fresh term, completely stunned Fang Zhou.

Since when did one need to pay taxes to view the Blood Moon?

Fang Zhou voiced his question.

The Corpse Witch, without emotion, answered: "The Blood Moon Observatory is maintained and protected by the City Lord.

All visiting undead creatures must pay the Stargazing Tax to show respect to the City Lord and the Undead Blood Moon Will.

Outsider, based on your strength, every ten minutes of visiting the Blood Moon Observatory requires a payment of 10,000 Blood Moon Coins.

If you wish to extend the time, the Stargazing Tax will also incrementally increase.

How long do you intend to visit?"

Fang Zhou grimaced, his mouth feeling a bit sore.

Money, money, money, in Tusk City, everything requires money!

Forgetting about his main body for now, his clone had been battling in the Undead Realm for years since awakening, never once paying a fee.

Unexpectedly, now in Tusk City, he experiences this impoverished feeling.

But regardless of how painful it is financially, Fang Zhou must visit the Blood Moon Observatory.

For Fang Zhou, a Tomb Lord with an attribute panel that can quickly analyze and merge the rights of the Undead Blood Moon, visiting the Blood Moon Observatory is prioritized even above all kinds of undead spells and undead resources that directly increase attributes.

Gritting his teeth, Fang Zhou pulled out 10,000 Blood Moon Coins and said to this Corpse Witch guard, "Give me just 10 minutes."

After receiving the Blood Moon Coins, the Corpse Witch waved the bone Magic Staff in its hand and gave Fang Zhou a Blood Moon Mark.

"Take this mark and go inside.

Once the 10 minutes is up, you will be teleported out unless you pay again to extend your stay.

Don’t think about evading or crediting it, the City Lord is always watching you."

Fang Zhou took the Blood Moon Mark and stepped inside.

He never engages in unprofitable business.

Perhaps for other Golden Level undead, the 10 minutes bought with 10,000 Blood Moon Coins would just be a waste.

No matter how exceptional those Golden Level undead may be, they can’t possibly gain insight into the Undead Blood Moon Will from the Blood Moon Observatory in just 10 minutes.

But for Fang Zhou, these 10 minutes will undoubtedly be worth the price.
