"Achoo!"

Noan suddenly sneezed, feeling a bit puzzled. He wondered, "Did I catch a cold from the freezing night?"

However, he quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought.

It had only taken him a day to return to his territory, which was always warm. Besides, his strength was now three times that of an ordinary human—there was no way he could catch a cold so easily.

He assigned Urlgan, Urlgug, Skeleton Hunter, and Skeleton Swordsman to guard the surroundings.

More importantly, Urlgan placed the Angel Zombie's mechanical core about 100 meters outside the territory, covering it with dried branches to keep it concealed.

Urlgug was tasked with monitoring the device. After all, Noan had no idea what kind of danger it might pose, so he wasn't about to bring it inside the territory.

In his private chamber, Noan lay on Vylyss's lap, reviewing his accumulated resources.
