306 True Ghostfire Knight_1

"O undead bound by contract with me, heed my summoning and appear forthwith."

As though tainted with blood, Lanya chanted the spell to call forth the dead by the crimson beach. A purple magic array emerged before her, and from within the complex pattern, a great clatter of bones fell, piling up into a small white mound on the sand.

The last to drop from the magic array was a skull, landing perfectly atop the bone heap.

"What are you doing?" Lanya picked up the skull and asked.

Two small blue flames ignited within the eye sockets of the Baigu.

"I was about to sleep. Next time you call me, could you give me a heads up?"

Without waiting for Lanya's response, the pile of bones on the ground began to shake, quickly assembling into a complete skeleton and snatching its skull back from Lanya's hands, placing it onto its neck, then patting its sun-glittering forehead.
