A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 335 Authority: Taking advantage of the situation!

 …

 This is...a field?

Matthew quietly sensed the changes around him. The subtle feeling made him feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring. It was comfortable and warm, and there was an indescribable sense of pleasure.

This is not the first time that he has resonated with the field of this place.

 When he first set foot on the Gold Coast.

So he slightly touched the field field here, but Matthew's level was still relatively low at that time, and the things he touched were relatively marginal.

 But this time is different.

 He could clearly feel that he had touched something deeper!

Although the level of the Balance Messenger has not increased, Matthew's attainments in the field make up for this.

To know.

 The field field is actually a larger, more stable and more comprehensive ceremony field.

 If further development occurs.

It is possible to form an existence similar to the land of the gods.

 But such a field consumes so much that even a legendary mage cannot maintain it.

 Only by following the path of believers can it be possible for gods to do this.

 Because what they consume is not their own strength.

Rather, it comes from the power of faith from thousands of families.

Matthew stood in the field, and he could feel that all his fields were slightly interacting with this field.

 The flow of factors between fields has also accelerated.

 Along with this process.

Matthew discovered that the domain field here had actually restored several areas that were slightly out of balance for him!

"Yes, this is a balanced field, and it is perfect for balancing all things!"

 Matthew was slightly excited.

 If you can completely master this field.

 His legendary path will definitely go further!

But he was not in a hurry.

 He can feel that the person who arranged this field is very clever. Matthew can only resonate with it and obtain certain permissions, but it is difficult to completely control the core of the field.

"It may take ten or even twenty years to become the master of this field..."

 Calculate it this way.

Matthew felt that it was not worthwhile.

 Instead of doing this, it would be better to create your own field, which would be more profitable—the oak forest and the cemetery are both ready-made frameworks.

At the moment he put away his complicated thoughts.

 Quietly enjoying the sense of harmony between nature and man.

His eyes focused on the data column.

The effect of this ability called "Chaos Ball" is quite powerful!

 Except malevolent polymorph.

 It can also react chemically with many abilities or spells.

 For example, Matthew holds a twisted authority: a loving father.

Let's imagine.

　　A group of goats who were thrown into the chaotic colorful balls. Under the influence of the father's authority, even if they turned back into human bodies, they kept calling Matthew Father...

That scene was quite scary!

Even normal cognition can be distorted, which may be the ultimate chaos.

 “This kind of ability actually appears in the equilibrium field…”

Matthew was secretly alert.

 The more powerful the ability, the more cautious it should be used. This is his summary of the extraordinary power of this world.

What's more, the ability of the Chaos Color Ball obviously has an evil nature.

 On the surface it seems to be incompatible with the realm of equilibrium.

 But think about it carefully.

 The content of balance is communication and coordination, which in essence actually contains some elements of order.

 The ultimate balance is the ultimate order.

It can be explained by the extreme chaos at the end of such extreme order.

“This ability is obtained from the domain field, so the Balance Messenger who arranged the domain field at that time may be King Mingtan himself, and he also has such an ability.”

 Matthew was thoughtful.

 In addition to the Chaos Ball, he also gained access to some fields.

 This part of the authority is enough for Matthew to see clearly the scope of the entire equilibrium field.

big.

 It’s really big!

This field is generally in the shape of an irregular circle, including the Arun Sea and part of the northern shore of the Gold Coast.

Cordo City is also located among them!

 In these buildings and environments.

The most dazzling thing is the two "formation eyes", one in the south and one in the north!

 The so-called formation eye.

 In fact, it is the base point responsible for coordinating everything in the field.

Similar to the negative energy fountain in the Death Fear Cemetery and the oak tree in the Sanctuary of Life.

 The southern formation is naturally Junliu Island.

 The formation eye to the north is Dalong Lake in the rainforest!

The north and the south, the lake and the island echo each other, perfectly coordinating the elements in the field.

Matthew knows that if you want to become the base point of the field, you must have a certain foundation.

  Dalong Lake contains the tomb of King Mingtan and the more ancient tomb of the dragon.

Then what is there on Junliu Island?

 He closed his eyes.

 Feel a strange element flowing through my cheeks and ears.

 But when he tried to touch it with his mental power.

 It is convenient to disappear cleanly.

This feeling is unbearably itchy.

 It was as if the woman's graceful figure could only be seen through the screen.

Matthew clearly felt the flow of elements.

  but cannot capture it correctly.

 “Forget it, let it go.”

 After several failures.

 Matthew felt more at ease.

 It didn’t take long.

 He withdrew from the state of resonance.

Matthew can feel that his mental state has become better, his physical fitness has also been slightly improved, and the originally noisy area seems to have become quieter.

"It seems that if you have something to do in the future, you can come to Junliu Island more often."

 With such thoughts in mind.

Matthew walked lightly on Junliu Island.

He followed the three special places he sensed earlier and walked around the entire island.

 The first thing he came to was a small mountain pass called "Fulong Ridge".

 Previously at the time of perception.

 Matthew thought this was some great place.

 I didn’t realize it until I took a look.

Isn’t this the place where I transplanted tea trees before?

 What surprised Matthew even more.

　　The tea trees here were obviously transplanted by me, but now a small amount of green branches and buds are growing in the mud.

This does not appear to be artificially cultivated.

 It is grown naturally.

Not only that, the number of tea trees has also increased. Matthew counted, there are thirteen tea trees in total!

 There were only eight plants before.

 “This place is a bit interesting…”

Matthew activated his balanced perception and suddenly saw the shadow of a real dragon under the earth!

 …

 Hint: You discovered the sleeping soul of the Heavenly Dragon!』

 …

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

 This is the dragon clan of the Eastern Continent.

In the description of Sioux culture, this may be a more advanced dragon species than the "coil dragon" worshiped by Li Weiqi.

 “Is this the background of Junliu Island?”

Matthew felt emotional.

 He just glanced at it and stopped prying.

 For some reason, there was a kind of awe in his heart, and he instinctively did not want to disturb the sleeping soul of the Heavenly Dragon.

 Except for the Soul of the Heavenly Dragon.

Matthew also smelled a special smell on Fulong Ridge, the kind of smell he had experienced when the "Equilibrium Node" was turned on.

 That’s the smell of “luck”!

 But this smell is too weak, or it may be that Matthew is not strong enough.

　　If the feeling before was that of watching the projection through a screen.

 Now it’s like you can only listen to the sound through the cement wall...

 Walked around in Fulongling.

Matthew went around to the abandoned kiln not far away.

 This is also the special building that was previously perceived.

  But different from Fulongling.

Matthew found nothing in the abandoned kiln.

 He ordered some pottery and left.

 When he returned to the village and wandered around, he found that it was more dilapidated and the number of old people was smaller.

 There are only five old people left in total.

Their actions were as stiff and indifferent as zombies, and even with Matthew's charm, he couldn't communicate with them.

 Can’t even say a word.

Matthew was also extremely emotional.

 He could see that these old people were just waiting for their final death and the call of the sea.

To them.

 Perhaps that is the call of the homeland.

 Unfortunately Matthew knew that was not the case.

 At the end of the day.

 King Mingtan brought the Sioux people across the ocean to come here, but in the end he failed to successfully establish a home here.

 There is not a decent Sioux settlement in the entire Irondor.

 There are problems with the laws of the planes and bad luck.

 For these tourists who still miss their homeland.

 Living is indeed a kind of torture.

 The Gold Coast was unlikely to be the final destination for these Sioux descendants.

 Their destination is not here.

 On the other side of the endless ocean.

At this moment, Matthew suddenly understood Yu Lian’s true ambition!

 His target is definitely not just the Far East!

 The Far East is the only place bordering the Eastern Continent.

Yu Lian’s goal is to overcome the many natural dangers and return to his former homeland with the remaining descendants of the Sioux tribe!

 This goal is too difficult.

 Simply uniting all the Sioux people obviously cannot achieve this.

 Yu Lian has a very clear understanding of reality.

 So he chose to cooperate with the devil and even stayed away from his tribe to a certain extent...

 All this is not just Matthew’s imagination.

 Because just when he sensed this level, he could detect another fluctuation in the field.

 Among the pieces of pottery that Matthew had taken away before, one of them was shining brightly.

Matthew took it out and found a square of straw sandpaper at the bottom.

 After expansion.

　It is scrawled on it.

 The content on the paper was clearly written by the young Yu Lian.

 His ambition is almost exactly the same as what Matthew had realized before!

“So I didn’t think of it on a whim.”

 “It’s the field here that reminds me...”

 This feeling is very subtle.

 Matthew has an ability called "Ask Nature."

But standing in the field, the feedback and reminders he felt from all directions were naturally more powerful than asking!

He is not sure whether this field has awakened his own will, or retains the spiritual imprint of a certain balance messenger.

 But he did feel the earnest request.

 In fact, even if there is no Yu Lian.

 He also wants to visit the Eastern Continent after he becomes stronger.

 So there are not many obstacles.

Matthew accepted the request from his heart.

next moment.

 The domain field is slightly boiling.

Matthew could feel a strange power being injected into his body!

 This power.

 Much more powerful than he had ever felt before.

 Several times more powerful!

Matthew felt like his whole body was about to be stretched open!

 …

　　　　Tips: You have obtained the authority "Borrowing the Potential" given by "Field Field: Balance"!

 Borrowing momentum (temporary authority): By consuming a small amount of luck points, you can borrow other people's areas for your own use!

 By consuming a lot of luck points, you can take over other people's areas as your own!

Note: Luck points are invisible data. You cannot guess how many luck points you or your group have.

  But you can collect additional luck points from specific groups or fields through "luck collection".

 This part of the luck points is visible.

 Hint: You collected 34 luck points from "Field: Balance"! "

 …

"I see!"

Matthew suddenly understood.

　　The purpose of the Balance Envoy who originally deployed the field was to collect extra luck points!

 He studied it.

 Find out that borrowing someone else's domain for a short period of time will cost at least 8 luck points.

 If you choose to keep it as your own.

 This number will increase tenfold!

  In other words, the extra points Matthew has collected are not enough for him to rob other people's areas. As for taking advantage of his own luck, he is still not willing to do it.

 “It’s okay to borrow it and use it.”

“The domain is so important in high-level battles, especially the duel between mages. The domain opened by the opponent suddenly becomes your own. There is almost no other possibility except to kill at the neck..."

Matthew felt a little excited just thinking about it.

 The acquisition of authority by "taking advantage of the situation" allowed him to take another step forward in the realm of being invincible in civil war.

certainly.

 This authority is only temporary.

 There is no telling when it will be taken away.

 Want to get it completely.

I'm afraid I have to help Yu Lian deal with the trouble in the Far East.

　If you think about it this way.

 The road ahead is still long.

 …

 Two days later.

North of Gray Island, on an extremely steep sea cliff.

 Seagulls flew from the sky one after another and landed in their nests on the cliff.

 Below the cliff.

Rolling waves continue to beat against the rocks, making a long-lasting sound.

Matthew stood alone on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the surrounding scenery.

Prudent.

He came here a day in advance, inspected everywhere, and then felt relieved after confirming that this was a little-known desert island.

 It’s almost dusk.

 The figure of Qingpi Naga still has not appeared in the surrounding sea areas.

Matthew squinted his eyes and searched around.

 Not long.

Sumi’s voice suddenly came from the bottom of the sea cliff:

 “You are very punctual.”

Matthew lowered his head in surprise, but could only see a vague outline among the rocks and big waves.

"Go seven steps to the left. There is a rope on the sea cliff. Follow it down."

“Remember, you can’t use magic, otherwise you won’t be able to penetrate the barrier here!”

 Sumi reminded.

 Matthew went over and took a look.

 There is a hidden rope between the cracks in the rocks over there. It is just woven from seaweed. I don’t know if it is strong or not.

 He bent down, weighed it, and then climbed down along the rope -

 As a mage. Matthew’s climbing skills are terrible.

 Fortunately, the balance field once gave him an ability called "Gymnastics Master".

 This ability provides him with an additional 10 points of climbing skill.

This at least made Matthew less embarrassed when he went down the rope.

 When it descends to about thirty meters from the sea surface.

Matthew noticed something strange nearby - the sea water would be slightly distorted when it hit the rock mass below.

 This is a sign of enchantment.

as expected.

 Go down another ten meters.

Matthew could feel that he was passing through a thick membrane.

 It resisted Matthew's entry.

  But not very strongly.

 Matthew was able to slide into it smoothly.

 Hurrah!

A wave came over and turned Matthew into a drowned rat.

 But he also took advantage of this and entered the boundary of the Yongye tribe.

Matthew looked around.

At the bottom of the foot is a huge rock, with sections of stone stairs artificially carved out of the rock.

 Stone stairs lead to a small platform.

 There are several Nagas working on the platform.

 Chingpi Nagasumi was waiting for Matthew on the platform.

 This area is located in a huge underground cave.

Most of the sea water is blocked by the power of the barrier. The ubiquitous island caves and waterways extending in all directions make the topography here particularly complex.

 “Follow me closely.”

Sumi walked quickly across the platform with Matthew, and Naga next to her cast a somewhat uneasy look.

 “Leave them alone, let’s go.”

 Sumi reminded.

 Matthew nodded.

 The two of them left the platform, entered a cave, and then started on a winding road.

 Most of them are dry roads, and a few require water routes.

 In the waterway part.

 Sumi very thoughtfully prepared a boat for Matthew.

 Later.

 Matthew was completely disoriented.

 He could only judge that the two of them were walking down.

 The space you are in should be three to four hundred meters below sea level.

 But there is still quite a lot of space exposed above the water.

 During this period, they also met some Nagas.

Most of the Nagas respected Sumi, and the few who didn't buy it just walked away.

 Nothing outrageous happened.

 This shows that Sumi’s authority in the Yongye tribe is quite stable.

  Half an hour later.

 The two of them came to the very depths of this cave.

 The light here is very dim, with only a few glowing mushrooms illuminating a corner of the cave.

 “This is it.”

Sumi pointed to the dark pool in the center of the cave with bubbles constantly coming out and said:

“Below here is an undersea undercurrent that leads directly to the “Darkless City” where Queen Naga lives. "

 “Um, do you need the “Serman Potion”? "

Matthew nodded:

"need."

 Sumi immediately took out three bottles of dark purple potion from the gap between the two peaks.

Matthew watched this scene intently.

 However, Sumi was disappointed.

 The object of the former's gaze is the three bottles of potions.

She hummed softly and put the cold potion into Matthew's hand:

“Taking half a bottle at a time can theoretically maintain the mermaid form for 8 hours, but it’s best not to be so tight at the bottom of the sea. Drinking half a bottle every 7.5 hours or 7 hours is more appropriate.”

 Matthew put the potion away:

"Thanks."

Sumi reminded:

 “We’re going into the water.”

 “You can drink it now.”

 Said.

 She took the initiative to move the snake's body and moved smoothly into the pool.

 During this process, a line of slightly turbid slime was left on the ground.

Matthew looked at the mucus and coughed:

 “Can I collect them?”

 “I mean, for research purposes.”

Sumi’s pupils shrank violently.

Her expression was a little unnatural:

 “Of course, of course.”

 “I have more if you need it…”

 When it comes to the last sentence.

Her voice became soft and waxy, and she unconsciously became much quieter.

 “No need, I’ll just collect a few samples.”

Matthew collected them happily.

 That’s what a mage is.

  I want to get some new things to play with.

 He didn’t expect anything to be learned from this research.

 In the final analysis, he is just a necromancer, not an enchanter.

"oh…"

Sumi's voice had an unspeakable flavor.

Matthew quickly collected a large bottle. He then took out a lightning-shaped ring from his Miaofa bag and put it on his middle finger!

 …

“Transformation Ring (Deep Sea Electric Eel) (mass-produced imitation): After activation, the holder can transform into a deep sea electric eel.

 Effective time: 2 hours. "

 …

 In Sumi's surprised eyes.

Matthew chanted a spell loudly and jumped towards the pool.

 Only for a moment.

 He turned into a golden electric eel wrapped with lightning!

 Plop!

 Stab!

Matthew got used to swimming in the pool and accidentally shocked Sumi.

She couldn't help but groan.

 Then he questioned:

 “You...won’t you become a creature under the sea?”

 “Then why do you still need my mermaid potion?”

 Matthew did not explain much:

 “My ring has many restrictions.”

 “And be prepared for any trouble.”

 This ring was rented by Matthew from Roderick's alchemy factory.

 The "magic item rental business" was something he discovered recently, and it was mainly only available to high-level mages.

 Don’t look at the effect of this ring, which only lasts for 2 hours.

 But Matthew rented 13 coins in one go!

 In this way, the seabed will always be seamlessly connected.

The cost of this rental method is also very cheap.

 At least it is much more cost-effective than underwater breathing potion and frogman potion.

 As for the more advanced mermaid potions.

 For the price of one bottle, you can rent all the replica rings for more than three months!

 What’s more, it was made by Naga himself.

 The price can still be pushed upwards.

 How could Matthew shut it out?

 “I’m ready, can we go?”

Sumi looked thoughtful.

 Matthew quickly changed the subject.

Qingpi Naga nodded, and then she sank into the water smoothly and naturally, and her extremely graceful curves were instantly buried on the surface of the pool.

Matthew followed suit.

　　　I actually kept up.

It’s a pity that the clumsy movement caused a huge splash on the surface of the pool!

 Hurrah!

 The sound was isolated above.

 In the deep water of the dark horizon, Matthew followed Sumi step by step.

 The two are sinking continuously.

 It was about seventy or eighty meters.

 Suddenly an extremely turbulent sea current appeared below!

 “You have to find a way to follow me.”

“The current is fierce and you are not good at water, so you will be easily washed away.”

 Sumi pointed to the current ahead and said.

 Matthew thought for a moment, then wrapped it around Sumi's waist, and then slowly tightened it.

Thus.

 She seemed to be wearing a golden belt.

 “You’re so electric that I’m a little numb…”

Sumi whispered:

 “But it’s still adaptable.”

 The next second.

 She grabbed the body of the electric eel with one hand, and then swept the plump snake tail hard, and the whole person was instantly submerged into the turbulent undercurrent of the seabed!

 …

The speed of the undercurrent on the seabed was beyond Matthew's imagination.

He could feel countless water flows sliding across the surface of his body, and the surrounding scenery fell backwards at an almost blurry speed.

 Sumi’s waist muscles were tense.

Her whole body seemed to have turned into a torpedo that kept shooting forward. Only seven or eight minutes had passed before Matthew felt the special pressure from the deep sea area.

That pressure is somewhat similar to the water pressure in the deep sea in the previous life, but it is presented in the form of a field.

 It is called the "Curse of the Deep Sea" by mages, and it is enough to break a person's body to pieces.

 Fortunately, the deep-sea electric eels have built-in deep-sea resistance.

After getting over the initial discomfort, Matthew quickly took to his feet.

 A few more minutes passed.

Qingpi Naga took Matthew away from the undercurrent.

More than twenty meters below them was pure white sand, and unknown undersea creatures exuded a long brilliance.

 Forward.

 The light is more prosperous.

Matthew swam down from Sumi’s waist, and the two of them walked in the direction of the bright light.

 It didn’t take long.

 He saw a kingdom built in the trench from a distance!

The building density of that kingdom far exceeds that of other land countries.

It’s just that the buildings here are all made of marine life or the remains of various sunken ships.

Matthew saw a huge shell standing among the corals on the seabed. The sign hanging at the top had a few lines of slogans in Naga and Undersea Common to attract customers.

From time to time, a delicate and frail clam girl shyly hides in the rolling shutter door of the shell and pokes her head out.

They have bright makeup, and there are pebbles and bubbles hanging on their bodies.

 No need for introduction by Sumi.

 Matthew also knew what was inside the shell.

Not far from the giant shell is a half-sunken ship.

Countless people were coming in and out of the sunken ship's gate. There were several poles hanging next to them, with black flags and corpses on them.

These corpses include those of Nagas, other deep-sea races, and even one of humans.

 Sumi told Matthew.

These corpses are the targets of punishment for not obeying the laws of the Naga Kingdom.

The laws promulgated by the Naga Kingdom are so strict that they are abnormal.

There is only one penalty for all offenses -

 That’s the death penalty!

It’s just that there are many ways to execute the death penalty:

 Some were imprisoned in an endless water prison and eventually became the food of a certain sea monster;

 Some of them were directly killed and hung up in public;

There are also those who were rewarded to a certain Primarch Naga as a personal slave and then tortured to death.

all in all.

The Naga Kingdom is a very harsh country for intelligent creatures under the sea.

 “This place is a bar.”

 “Look, there’s still such an endless stream.”

“People have long been numb to this. Even though they have encountered extremely high-pressure rule, as long as they are still alive, they will choose to numb themselves instead of rising up to fight.”

 When passing the half of the sunken ship.

 Sumi complained to Matthew in a low voice.

 Matthew was noncommittal about this.

Naga is already at the top of the food chain in the deep sea, and the original Naga must be a more powerful creature.

  For other deep sea intelligent creatures.

 Senseless resistance can only lead to death.

 They do not have the ability to change all this, so they can only change themselves to adapt to the new environment.

 “How should we get into the city?”

Matthew walked around the outskirts of the kingdom and found that the control here was relatively relaxed.

 The two of them only encountered patrolling guards once along the way.

 But Sumi easily escaped with Matthew.

The seaweed here is quite lush, and there are countless giant shells and underwater tunnels.

 Even if it is a native creature.

If you want to hunt down a person here, you may also need to use the power of magic.

 “Damn it, we might not make it into the city today.”

Sumi pointed to a long dragon in the distance and said:

“That’s the team entering the city. The control seems to be stricter now than before?”

Matthew asked strangely:

 “Is there no other way in?”

 Sumi shook her head:

 “Queen Xena has cast a new protective spell on the Naga Kingdom.”

“All the secret tunnels we dug before have failed.”

“Except for the sixteen entrances and exits, all other places are powerful magic barriers. Any intrusion of intelligent life will be regarded as an intruder. We cannot get through..."

Matthew glanced at the long dragon.

This team is composed of countless underwater creatures. At the end of the team is an arched gate. There are densely packed Naga guards stationed near the gate.

There are also suspected leader-level figures patrolling among them.

"We have to wait patiently. I will find a way to disguise myself as a fish trader from the Black Silk Tribe, and then sneak into the city."

"This is my limit. If I want to enter the temple where Queen Xina is, I have to act according to circumstances..."

Sumi’s tone also sounded helpless.

  Matthew said nothing more.

 Assassinating the queen of an underwater kingdom is indeed not an easy task.

 Everything under the sea is different from what is on land.

 You really can’t be impatient.

But just when the two of them were queuing up.

Matthew suddenly saw a group of rather solemn Nagas swimming out of the city holding several clay pots!

 Their trip went quite smoothly.

 At least the guards at the city gate did not hinder them, but instead saluted several of them!

 “What are they for?”

Matthew asked.

“That’s the funeral procession. The more important Primarch Naga must have died, right?”

Sumi gloated:

“They are probably going to take the big man’s body to the Naga Cemetery now.”

 Cemetery?

Matthew’s eyes lit up.

"Walk."

 “Let’s follow!”

 He said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

 …
