Looking at these attributes, Gu Xi knew that the Maze Devourer in front of him was similar to the previous Skeleton Mirror Guard, all belonging to the soldier type.
However, this soldier type is incomplete.
The normal starting level for the soldier type is level 6, but due to Gu Xi’s Undead Enhancement, it only reached level 4.
It’s only half completed.
To make the Maze Devourer more normal, it needs to be placed in a Graveyard of level 2 or higher, or a Sewn Monster base of level 1 or higher.
A level 2 or higher Graveyard can produce High-tier Zombies, and a Sewn Monster base is a place that produces Sewn Monsters, both places suitable to complete the deficiency of this soldier type.
Currently, Gu Xi doesn’t have suitable buildings, so that’s that. He first stores the Maze Devourer away, waiting for some Graveyard to upgrade before considering completing it.
Before that, the Maze Devourer probably can’t go to the battlefield.
After sending away the Maze Devourer, Gu Xi looked at his own mana, with 19 points left, it felt a bit unusual for him not to send out the Death Incarnation.
As for using this bit of mana for Undead Transformation, it was clearly inappropriate.
Gu Xi simply started studying the steps needed for the substitution ritual.
Since the Empress didn’t see the Princess in Gu Xi’s hands, she only used the Princess as a substitute while introducing.
There were specific things the Empress pointed out.
The master must have a true princess, not just a pig named Princess to fill in.
She was deceived by the Hunter, taking the pig’s heart as the true princess’s heart, causing the ritual to fail from the start.
Otherwise, she would have had three revival opportunities, instead of her gray-black successor.
Hence, she pointed out that for a corresponding princess, it must be a true princess.
If Gu Xi could find another Eldest Princess Anna, that would naturally be the best.
Gu Xi suspected the Empress had seen him entering and exiting the Westminster Cathedral instance or divined something, hence spoke this way.
But really bringing the real body of Eldest Princess Anna into the instance would mean his limited troops would be killed by Eldest Princess Anna’s subordinates immediately.
Gu Xi wasn’t that foolish; his target was on the item, the Pea Princess, from the start.
Anyway, this Ritual Magic only required performing the ritual, no mana input was necessary.
Gu Xi simply seized this opportunity to begin the substitution ritual.
He first had the body of Eldest Princess Anna transported out from the Corpse Nurturing Land again.
Due to reverse time happening thrice, along with the warmth from the Corpse Nurturing Land, the body of Eldest Princess Anna was obviously in much better condition than before.
The strange aura on her body had dissipated significantly, the death negative energy also started permeating Eldest Princess Anna’s body.
Gu Xi boiled a pot of Magic Potion according to the recipe left by the Empress, then poured half of the potion into Eldest Princess Anna’s mouth.
With Gu Xi’s level of Magic Potion Making, he just put the suitable materials in the pot for a boil; the formula was correct, though the effectiveness of the potion was uncertain.
The only certainty was that since snake blood was needed in the potion, Gu Xi extracted some blood from a serpent-like monster lying aside to brew the potion.
After administering the Magic Potion to Eldest Princess Anna’s body,
Gu Xi seriously said to Eldest Princess Anna’s body, "From now on, you will be unable to speak, when walking, your feet will feel like they’re on a knife’s edge until the ritual concludes."
Afterward, Gu Xi put Eldest Princess Anna’s body back into the nurturing pool.
Subsequently, Gu Xi poured the remaining Magic Potion on the nearby ground and then buried the Pea Princess there.
Next was waiting for the pea to grow.
Gu Xi squatted by the spot where the Pea Princess was buried, watching.
Not long after, a small pea emerged from the ground.
She first tidied her body, then crafted a princess dress from the leaves of the newly grown Pea Vine nearby, a princess crown with pea flowers, and even a princess carriage.
Though she was small, her creations were infused with magic, making the process swift. It took less than fifteen minutes to complete the full set of princess regalia.
Once everything was ready, the Pea Princess glanced at Gu Xi.
As if waiting for Gu Xi’s command.
However, Gu Xi had no commands; he grew the Pea Princess to serve as a placeholder for Eldest Princess Anna’s role.
He really had no tasks for the Pea Princess.
Of course, Gu Xi could issue a couple of tasks for the Pea Princess to complete.
But seeing the big eyes of the Pea Princess, Gu Xi felt a bit reluctant.
He was waiting for the Pea Princess to pass away; assigning tasks and utilizing her now seemed like waste utilization?
So they both just stared at each other.
Until fifteen minutes later, the Pea Princess, unable to best Gu Xi, reluctantly closed her eyes.
At this point, Gu Xi proceeded with the next step of the ritual, placing the body of the Pea Princess into the small carriage and the full set of regalia on the shore of Evil Wood Lake.
Then the body of Eldest Princess Anna was placed into Evil Wood Lake, transported to the shore by the lake water.
The two bodies lay side by side like this.
There was no prince, no ball or anything, yet Gu Xi could see a green aura floating from the Pea Princess’s body to Eldest Princess Anna’s body.
At the same time, some black liquid also flowed from Eldest Princess Anna’s body, carrying the odd energy that hadn’t been cleared, towards the Pea Princess’s side.
Amidst this black liquid, the regalia of the Pea Princess gradually dissolved and disappeared.
Meanwhile, something different began to emerge on Eldest Princess Anna’s body.
Such as a green princess dress made of leaves, and a light purple princess crown atop her head.
It can be said that the regalia belonging to the Pea Princess was now transferred to Eldest Princess Anna’s body.
Simultaneously, the aura on Eldest Princess Anna’s body was also changing.
Though she didn’t revert to the just-died state like the Pea Princess, Gu Xi could clearly see that Eldest Princess Anna’s condition was improving.
However, it was somewhat unfortunate as the Pea Princess’s quality was relatively low, the substitution ritual quickly discontinued as the Pea Princess carriage and body disintegrated in the black liquid.
The remaining black liquid mixed with strange power flowed back into Eldest Princess Anna’s body.
By this time, Gu Xi identified that the ritual was relatively successful, Eldest Princess Anna had gained a Summoning opportunity.
