A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 295: Different Resurrection Techniques

 …

This is the direction from the second underground floor to the third floor of the Eternal Underground Palace.

  Matthew discovered that it is different from the first floor.

 At the junction of the second and third floors, there is an obliquely angled mezzanine.

This mezzanine may not be the original design of the tomb, but was formed by the slow changes of the underground space over the long years.

 The eastern part of the mezzanine is still faintly illuminated.

 Matthew narrowed his eyes.

From the direction where the light comes in, a huge patio is opened above it.

　　This group of people from Jiandong City should have entered through this patio.

I just don’t know whether this patio is man-made or naturally formed.

 If it is man-made.

 This shows that the colleagues in Jiandong City may know much more about the Eternal Underground Palace than those in my own group!

 “No trace of the kobold warlock…”

 Matthew was cautious.

Logically speaking, the kobold warlock Will set off at about the same time as the Sword Winter City group, and they were walking in the same direction.

 Based on the kobold's talent in the underground space.

There is no reason to be slower than these mercenary-dressed counterparts.

“Is it possible that he has entered the third underground floor?”

 Between thoughts.

Matthew noticed a commotion among the group in front.

 “A large number of undead are approaching!”

“There are so many zombies! It’s not like they were born on their own in the underground palace…”

“Idiot, with this scale of march, there must be someone behind the scenes. I think it’s the necromancer from White Rock City. I didn’t expect him to be able to summon so many undead at the same time!”

 With the blessing of the grave realm.

Although Matthew's hearing has not improved significantly, his high priority in sound propagation and observation of words allows him to easily hear the whispers of his peers.

“He shouldn’t have noticed us yet! Should we hold back these zombies first, and then quickly take away the treasure chest in the room?”

　　A somewhat flirtatious voice said this.

The tomb robbers discussed it for a while, but still couldn't make up their mind.

But very quickly.

 A middle-aged strong man wearing a red turban stood up.

 He seems to be the leader of everyone in Jiandong City:

“Forget it, let’s go directly!”

 “Don’t bother with the Necromancer in the tomb anymore, remember our mission!”

That gentle voice seemed a little unwilling:

“We don’t need to be so afraid of him, right?”

“The summons of the Necromancer are usually just to bluff people. I have killed not five hundred but three hundred zombies. If he really dares to conflict with us, we may not be the ones who suffer.”

The red turban said sternly:

 “Don’t cause trouble, let’s get out of the way!”

 Finally the group left the door of the room.

However, their departure still seemed a bit slow.

It is precisely because of this.

Matthew, who was fishing in troubled waters among the zombies, was also able to observe clearly how this group of people were dressed.

Each of them wore a turban, but it was a different color.

As for the faces, some are young and some are mature. Most of them look like they are in their thirties or forties, not like those young guys.

 The soft voice before came from a young man wearing a black turban.

 He is the only one among the group in Jiandong City who looks to be in his teens.

“I still think we can observe, maybe the necromancer will answer the question?”

“Even if you can’t get the treasure chest, observing this process can still increase your experience.”

The black turban whispered.

Hong Kong agrees with these remarks:

"You can observe it, but be careful to keep your distance from the undead."

“Be prepared for battle. If an unexpected situation does arise, deal with the enemy in front of you first, and then help your companions. Remember our mission clearly, and try to focus on getting out of the battle.”

　　While talking, they found a corner.

 Looking at the door of the room here from a distance.

Matthew had no intention of greeting the group.

 He quickly arrived at the door of the room surrounded by zombies.

 Under the gaze of everyone in Jiandong City.

Matthew took one step forward and came to the Sphinx.

 He looked at the Sphinx with a smile.

 However, the latter's eyes were tilted towards the ceiling and did not meet Matthew's eyes at all.

 Matthew took a step forward.

The Sphinx actually stepped aside, her eyes still fixed on the ceiling, as if a wonderful drama was being staged there.

Matthew followed his gaze curiously.

There are only cracked rocks on the ceiling, dusty spider webs and wet underground seepage.

 Matthew reacted immediately.

I see.

 He chuckled to himself, and walked into the room in a swaggering manner.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone.

 Everyone has a look of surprise on their faces.

 “That guy...how did he get in without answering the questions?”

 “Is he the owner of the tomb?”

“He used the invisibility potion? No, we can see him, can’t the Sphinx see him?”

 Hijabs of other colors are still being discussed from afar.

 The young and energetic black turban has already rushed in front of the Sphinx.

 He also wanted to imitate Matthew and break through the gate.

Snapped!

The Sphinx dropped its thick hind limbs mercilessly, and its cold eyes focused on the black hooded body like a judgment:

“Answer the questions to get in.”

 “Death to trespassers!”

The black hood pointed at Matthew in the room:

 “Then how come he can get in without answering questions?”

 The Sphinx’s eyes were calm:

 “I didn’t see anyone coming in.”

The black turban looked angry:

 “Are you helping him cheat?”

 The Sphinx's eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Cheating is a serious accusation for the Sphinx family. Are you sure you want to stick to your words?"

 “Are you sure you want to incur the wrath of the Sphinx?”

The black turban also wants to say something.

 The next second.

 His head was quickly pressed down.

But I saw the red turban grabbed the young man's shoulders and dragged him away:

 “Idiot!”

“The one who can make the Sphinx let go deliberately must be a master who makes him feel fear!”

“If you want to become a zombie, I won’t stop you. Don’t drag others down!”

 “Let’s go quickly, don’t delay Miss Bai’s important event!”

 Under the command of the red hood.

 A group of people trotted away from the undead's own place.

 To their relief.

The necromancer didn't seem to want to cause trouble for them.

Go through two Japanese-shaped corridors continuously.

 They came to a cliff.

 There are two suspension bridges on the cliff.

 The suspension bridge winds downwards.

 In the endless darkness on the opposite side is the third floor of the eternal underground palace, which is also the resting place of the legendary Prince Philip.

"Walk!"

 A group of people quickly crossed the suspension bridge.

 Soon disappeared into such darkness.

 However, half a minute later.

The black turban appeared again. He snorted and cut the ropes of the two suspension bridges.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies!

 The suspension bridge broke off from one end, and most of the bridge fell into the cliff below the mountain.

　　 accompanied by creaking shaking sounds and falling sounds.

 A faint fire slowly lit up under the dark cliff.

It seemed as if there were countless candlelights floating leisurely below.

 …

 “This is the treasure chest that I got with great difficulty.”

 The door of the room.

Matthew introduced the belated arrival of Lorraine and Carmela.

 The corners of the Sphinx's mouth behind the three people twitched slightly.

 But he was stunned and didn’t say a word.

 “Whose treasure chest is this?”

Matthew asked, pointing to the gleaming treasure chest the size of a person in front of him.

 The Sphinx said coldly:

“My professional ethics do not allow me to disclose the origin of the client.”

 Matthew didn't mind his cold attitude.

 At any rate, his body was quite honest just now.

“Aren’t you supposed to be performing your duties in my cemetery now?”

Matthew asked curiously.

The Sphinx snorted again. He raised his chin slightly, with a high and reserved attitude:

“There are many people who have entrusted me with guarding treasure chests and secrets. It is impossible for me to work for just you.”

“Although I will spend most of my time in the cemetery as agreed.”

“But if there are people near other guardian places, I will immediately appear in another place.”

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

However, at this moment Luo Lan interrupted:

 “He is lying.”

Matthew became interested:

 “Which part?”

Roland said without thinking:

 “He partly lied when he said he had many clients.”

 The Sphinx's expression changed.

Matthew chuckled and said:

“So there are actually only a few people who entrust you with the protection of the treasure?”

 The Sphinx turned her head away stubbornly:

 “This has nothing to do with you.”

Roland held a piccolo in his mouth, writing and drawing on the Book of Hebrew Cards, and said vaguely:

 “He’s very nervous now.”

 “And this sentence is also a lie.”

 The Sphinx looked shocked.

"oh?"

 Matthew was also a little surprised.

Is it possible that the content you asked involves a very important field?

 “The Sphinx’s client?”

"Last time in Rhaegar's ancestral grave, he said that Queen Lutitia was not his client. The real client was most likely the necromancer who took Melinda away..."

 Matthew's thoughts were racing rapidly.

So to say.

It is most likely that the Necromancer entrusted the Sphinx to protect the Blood Banner family's treasures, and also left this sparkling treasure box here?

 But why did he do this?

Matthew suddenly felt particularly curious about the identity of the necromancer.

  After all, in the history of the Union.

 There are not many well-known necromancers, and those who occasionally make a name for themselves are mostly notorious.

“It’s possible that he’s an outsider, related to Melinda, and has a relationship with Lutitia. There’s a high probability that he’s from Stuluk Industries, that is, a Necromancer!”

  Matthew speculated.

That person is most likely one of the two big figures within Stuluk Industries whose strength is still above that of the Prince of the Dead.

So he tried to ask:

 “Is it that Necromancer?”

 The Sphinx's expression changed drastically.

"Wow!"

 He actually started vomiting black blood!

 “Stop asking!”

 The Sphinx's voice was filled with deep fear:

 “I am already suffering the backlash of the contract!”

 “It will do you no good to drive me to death!”

The voice fell.

 His body lit up with a white divine light.

　　followed by.

 A majestic life force emerged from the Sphinx's body.

 His spirit was suddenly shocked!

"don’t worry."

 “As long as I’m here, you can’t die.”

 Carmela said calmly.

 The Sphinx took a breath, and then he said angrily:

 “It’s not a matter of death or death!”

 “I’m not afraid of death either.”

 “I’m just afraid that death will be meaningless!”

 The Sphinx emphasized the last sentence angrily.

 Carmela raised her eyelids and pointed to Matthew calmly:

"don’t worry."

 “As long as he is here, you will be useful even after death.”

 The Sphinx's eyes darkened.

 Nearly fainted on the spot.

"please!"

“Hurry up and finish opening the treasure chest, let me fulfill my duties and leave this hellish place!”

 The Sphinx looked pleading.

Roland’s eyes suddenly shifted from the Book of Hebrew Cards to the Sphinx’s chest:

 “Is this how you ask for help?”

The Sphinx was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of shame and anger.

 His eyes swept across the three of them one by one, his eyes extremely complex.

 Fortunately at this moment.

Matthew raised his hand and motioned for A Bing to open the box while he stood beside him.

A Bing moved briskly, and with a loud boasting sound, the treasure box opened in response—

 A strong light shines towards the outside world.

Matthew, who was well prepared, did not suffer from the dizziness caused by the bright light.

 After the light dissipated, he looked inside.

 I found a beautiful woman with an exquisite face lying in the treasure chest!

The beauty was wet all over, as if she had just come out of the water.

She has long emerald green hair, which hangs down to her waist, giving people a charming look. Her upper body is wearing thin clothing, her waist is extremely slender, and under her perfect waist and hips is a round snake tail!

 …

“Warning: You encounter the Medusa Priestess “Neia. Shattered Eyes” (Legendary Creature/Sealed/Lord Template)”

 …

"uh-huh?"

Medusa Priestess woke up slowly, and a pleasant squeaking sound came from her lips and nose.

She subconsciously straightened up and tried to climb out of the box. In the process, her upper body violently collided with the edge of the box.

Her eyes slowly opened during the process—

 However, it is between this lightning and flint.

Matthew, feeling the severe crisis, stepped forward.

The shovel in his hand fell mercilessly, and cut off the head of the Medusa Priestess with an extremely smooth motion!

Medusa's head flew a certain distance in the air, and then was stepped on the ground by Lorraine who also reacted!

 Her face was facing the floor, and she was almost deformed by being stepped on.

A Bing stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

 But this is not over yet.

A third figure squeezed into his field of vision—

But he saw Carmela take a step forward, reach down with her right hand, and use her index and middle fingers to grab the eyeballs of the Medusa Priestess from her skull with precision like eagle claws!

 The next second.

 She grabbed both eyeballs with both hands, and then squeezed them hard!

　　Two snaps.

Medusa’s eyeballs were crushed instantly!

 At this moment.

 The three of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

 “Why are you cutting off other people’s heads? It’s a bit too extreme...”

 Carmela looked at Matthew:

“To deal with Medusa, just dig out her eyes like I did and then crush them to burst.”

 Matthew spread his hands.

He was just an instinctive reaction in a crisis situation, and naturally he didn't think too much.

Roland bent down to inspect Medusa’s body, and then showed a trace of regret:

 “She is at least a thousand years old.”

 “But still a virgin.”

“It’s a pity that I was killed by you with a shovel.”

  Matthew explained:

 “This is a shovel, not a shovel.”

“Besides, I didn’t mean it on purpose. At that moment, I sensed a huge danger. If she could open her eyes smoothly, we might both turn into stone statues.”

 “By the way, can it be resurrected?”

 He looked at Carmela.

 Carmela pondered:

 “It’s hard to say in this situation, but I can try.”

Matthew nodded:

 “If you cannot be resurrected.”

 “Let me resurrect you.”

Roland couldn’t help but applaud and said:

“It seems that the three of us are indeed a perfect combination.”

“You two have different resurrection skills and complement each other. There is no one in the world that you two can’t pull together!”

 Carmela looked at him sideways:

 “So what does it have to do with you?”

Luolan said seriously:

 “A team without a bard lacks soul, and also lacks inspiration for its companions.”

 Carmela said calmly:

 “I’ve heard that.”

"But the meaning behind this sentence is not that the bard is too useless. As long as there is a bard in your team, the others will definitely not be at the bottom, so no matter what the bard does, he can be more or less successful. Does it have a motivating effect on teammates?”

Roland said with a playful smile:

“It was indeed like this before the legend.”

 “But now it’s after the legend.”

Carmela said "Oh" and suddenly rolled her eyes:

“I heard that bards can actually resurrect themselves, and they can resurrect in groups?”

Roland laughed at himself:

 “Theoretically, a poet can do anything.”

“But at a practical level, we often just tell people that we can’t do anything.”

 Matthew and Carmela were both amused.

 The former reminded:

 “Let’s pull people first.”

 “The body became cold after a while.”

 The three people's attention returned to Medusa's body.

At this time, the Sphinx, who was watching with cold eyes, finally couldn't help it anymore.

 He said angrily:

 “Do you have any grudge against her?”

 “Are you going to torture her like this?”

“You just need to put her completely back into the box and open it again after five minutes, and she will return to the moment she just left the box.”

Matthew turned to look at the Sphinx:

“Now you are not worried about the backlash from the power of the contract for leaking secrets?”

 The Sphinx said angrily:

"You have opened the treasure chest. The absolute period of confidentiality has passed. Of course I can say something."

"This Medusa is indeed a strong threat, but you only need to know the contents of the box in advance, prepare a piece of cloth, and cover her eyes when she comes out."

 “You don’t have to kill her.”

Matthew nodded:

"thanks for your reminder."

The Sphinx puffed up her chest proudly and couldn't help but ask one more question:

 “Do you have any cloth?”

 “Want it to be black.”

Matthew thought for a while:

 “There are quite a few.”

“I can give you some if you want.”

 As he spoke, he took out a large roll of black cloth.

These fabrics exude a faint negative energy.

 Some of them still have some blood stains on them.

 The Sphinx took the cloth and sniffed it, then nodded with satisfaction:

“This fabric will work, but Medusa’s petrifying gaze cannot penetrate it.”

 “What was this originally used for?”

  Matthew explained:

 “Shroud.”

 The Sphinx suddenly shuddered.

 “I’ll take my leave now!”

As he spoke, he returned the shroud to Matthew, and the figure resolutely disappeared from the spot.

 “A Bing, take her back and close the box.”

  Matthew commanded.

five minutes later.

 The box was opened again.

Loland expertly wrapped the shroud over the eyes of the Medusa priestess.

The latter's subconscious resistance seemed so powerless under the "Monster Holding Technique" that the three of them took turns to perform.

 After a short period of testing and communication.

 The three of them discovered that the Priestess Medusa was already highly bound to this treasure chest.

 She became part of the treasure chest, or was sealed in the treasure chest.

 She cannot leave the treasure chest, neither in the dimensions of time nor space.

Matthew et al. summarized the following rules—

Medusa Priestess will automatically return to the treasure chest if she leaves it for more than ten minutes or more than thirty meters;

 The treasure chest cannot remain open for a long time and will automatically close in about ten minutes at most;

This treasure chest can only be opened three times a day, and there is a 30-minute cooling time after each opening;

The Priestess of Medusa does not speak Common. The language she speaks is similar to Draconic and some extremely ancient underground common language.

 Being proficient in language cannot eliminate their communication barriers.

Lorain speculated that this Medusa came from at least a thousand years ago.

 But compared to the time and space Carmela lived in.

This is still not too long ago.

“So the only use of this thing at present is to suddenly open it at the enemy—and then use the petrification ability of the Medusa Priestess to petrify the enemy on a large scale.”

  Matthew summed up quickly.

 The Medusa Priestess's sight radiation range is very wide, the farthest distance is about 200 meters to 500 meters, and the attack area is generally fan-shaped.

 It is a legendary creature after all.

This thing's petrification ability will even scare the trio of underground allies.

 It may be a trump card to deal with some enemies with strong resistance.

 The only flaw is.

 This treasure chest cannot be stored in a storage facility, so it can only be carried manually.

 That is to say, Matthew has strength in numbers.

 Clap your hands and four zombie boys will come over to carry the treasure chest.

 Otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.

 After consuming the number of times you have opened the treasure chest today.

The group of people continued the sweep of the second underground floor unhurriedly.

 The purpose of Matthew's trip was not that strong.

 Hence, he didn’t pay special attention to the group of colleagues from Sword Winter City.

Moreover, tomb robbing is a technical job.

It’s not necessarily the case that whoever goes down first will make a sure profit.

 The moment.

Matthew continued to lead the zombies to dig mountains and dig into the soil.

 With the cooperation of the Gemstone Bay group.

quickly.

 The remaining part of the second underground floor will soon be vacated by Matthew.

It is worth mentioning that.

 At the end of the sweep.

Carmela suddenly expressed with joy that she had found a trace of ancient aura.

 And that wisp of ancient aura was a mirror that looked very ordinary.

 She breathed the breath off the mirror and threw it to Matthew.

 Matthew looked at it.

 It has no characteristics at all. Apart from its long history, it is just an ordinary mirror.

 But it can make Carmela feel the ancient atmosphere.

 This mirror certainly has its merits.

Matthew marked it specially and put it away.

 Later, when passing by the room that the Sphinx once guarded.

 Matthew glanced inside.

It turned out that Lorraine was putting the Book of Hebrew Cards on his knees, holding a quill in his hand and writing rapidly.

Matthew's heart moved.

　　He opened a dark night cloak and reached behind Luo Lan from the edge of the door.

 “I want to see what you secretly wrote to me!”

Matthew tiptoed and stretched out half of his head.

 However, he was disappointed.

 Lorain is not working seriously.

 Instead, I chatted with a girl named Rosie through the Book of Hebrew Cards—

 …

“Loran: I encountered an interesting thing today. My friend Matthew found a treasure box. There was a Medusa sealed in the treasure box, and it was a legendary creature.

That treasure box is not simple either. It is filled with the power of time and can reset Medusa to the state it was in when it was opened at any time and at any time.

 You say God is not miraculous?

Rosie: It’s amazing.

Lorraine: What makes me curious is another thing. You said that if I had an in-depth communication with her after opening the box, then I would close the box ten minutes later and open it again five minutes later to communicate with her, and so on for more than ten minutes. times, so is she still a virgin when she unpacks it again?

Rosie:…

Loland: Don’t be so serious, let’s just discuss it casually! Creation requires divergent thinking.

Rosie: Whether she is a virgin or not, I think it just depends on her own attitude. If she thinks she is, that is.

Laurent: If so, what are the dozen or so experiences I had between opening and closing the box?

 Rosie: The obscenity of a third-rate poet.

 Loland: You know I’m not a third-rate person.

 Rosie: The obscene thoughts of a dirty poet.

 Lorain (with a smile): News reports must respect the facts.

 Rosie: The obscenity of a perverted poet.

Laurent (gradually getting annoyed): I can complain to the Alliance about your malicious slander!

Rosie: I can also complain to the league about your malicious harassment. Do you want to publish those photos?

Laurent (Quickly subdued): A kind and lovely girl like you would definitely not do that.

Rosie: Sorry, I know that I am neither kind nor lovable.

I will not think too highly of myself, and I will not misjudge my own status just because of a few frivolous compliments from others.

I know that I am just an ordinary girl who happened to break into the perverted poet's field of vision when he was bored.

 So please don’t waste your time chatting with me!

 Write well.

 You have two and a half days left. "

 …

 “Perverted poet huh?”

 Matthew couldn't help but poke Lorraine in the lower back.

 Loland disagreed.

He held up his quill and asked:

 “If it were you, how would you respond to this paragraph?”

Matthew smiled:

“I would ask her if there are other rewards if she can meet the deadline early.”

Roland’s eyes lit up:

 “You are indeed not a good person!”

Matthew shrugged:

 “I just want to get more overtime pay.”

 “Try it, maybe it can improve your relationship.”

 “This girl seems to have quite a personality, no wonder you keep smiling weirdly.”

 Loland immediately wrote down what Matthew said.

 However, a few seconds later.

The words that appeared on the Book of Hebrews made both of them look strange—

 …

“Rosie: Do you still have the energy to finish the manuscript ahead of schedule?

I didn’t expect that I underestimated your strength!

terribly sorry.

 I will compile a new batch of information right away.

I hope you can write more and better articles within three days..."

 …

 Shushushua.

 Another page from the Book of Hebrew Ka.

 A large amount of news material and new requests for manuscripts began to emerge.

 “Matthew—!”

Loland put his head in his hands and wailed.

However, Matthew no longer knew where he had gone.

 Another hour passed.

 The finished mopping up troops followed the footprints left by the people in Jiandong City and set off deep into the underground palace.

However, when they reached the break of the cliff.

 It was discovered that the suspension bridge connecting the two banks had fallen.

at the same time.

 Suddenly, a long and leisurely singing sound came from the dark valley bottom.

 …

Thank you book friend [Bing Zi Ye Yue] for the reward! Please explain, 日7 means 7000. This is already very difficult for me...
