A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 354: I've always been tight-lipped

Chapter 354 I’ve always been tight-lipped

…

“Let me think about it…”

Matthew whispered to Hood.

Hood smiled and nodded:

“Sure, you can sit here for hours, they’ll leave after midnight.”

As he spoke, he kept silent and ate and drank in silence.

Matthew’s eyes were shining, and he was quickly sorting out the context and cause and effect of this matter in his mind—

The first thing he thought about was.

Do you really have the right to decide this matter?

Leave aside high-level acquiescence and potential challenges.

Suppose Matthew now invites Hood to join him in stopping the expedition plan of Alexander and others.

Can they do this?

The answer is obvious: they can't stop it.

As the former warden of Mount Blackos, Alexander is an out-and-out legendary. He may be a little inferior to Hera in terms of hard power, but he is definitely not something that two fifth-level mages, Matthew and Hood, can stop. .

What's more, there are more than twenty experienced fifth-level mages behind him.

These law enforcement teams from Mount Blackos alone can cause Matthew and Hood a lot of trouble.

With the determination and attitude shown by Alexander and the Black Gold Army.

Matthew's attempt to stop them was nothing short of wishful thinking.

So in this case, what is the significance of involving Matthew?

Matthew tried to think about this from a high-level perspective.

That is certain.

This matter should have been tacitly approved by the major divine mages or legendary mages, and even Hood's help in opening the portal was tacitly approved.

This shows to some extent.

The Seven Saints would not stop Alexander's expedition plan.

“This plan would have gone smoothly without me.”

“The IOU that Suriel gave me just gave me an opportunity to get involved in this operation.”

“If I had followed the line forcefully, there was a high probability that I would have directly found clues to Hood or Rapids.”

"With the relationship between Hood and me, it won't be difficult to figure out the ins and outs of all this..."

Matthew’s mind was very clear.

He found that after removing himself from the matter, the whole sequence of events remained the same.

In fact, even if Suriel gave Matthew an IOU.

Matthew also chose to give up because he found it too troublesome.

He accidentally got involved in the expedition plan again while following the clue of the Necronomicon.

Matthew thought about it for a while.

The two clues of the Necronomicon and the missing loot are probably things that even the Seven Saints don't know about.

The divine mage may be omniscient in the general direction.

But there are definitely a lot of things that have slipped through the cracks in terms of details.

So this current situation is really a coincidence and fate.

But look at it from another perspective.

Matthew has balanced perception and is very sensitive to changes in the elements around him.

If a person can always pay attention to the detailed changes around him and the subtle clues behind them, then naturally, he will be easily entangled with the more powerful parts of fate.

This is both a chance and a chance.

It is also the inevitable fate.

In other words.

The appearance of Matthew does not actually affect the overall situation at all.

“But Hood was right.”

“Since this happened to me, it’s up to me to make the decision.”

Matthew knew it very well.

The decision he made is not very important to the group of people in front of him, to the top leaders of the alliance, or even to the world!

Instead, it is very important to himself.

"If I choose to report it to the alliance, taking the case of Ronan and Qin Wuyue losing contact for no reason as an example, it is very likely that I will be treated coldly. Not only will I push myself into an embarrassing situation, but I will also inevitably be attacked by Alexander and the Black Gold Army. Disgusted."

"On the other hand, if I can let them go, I will most likely gain the friendship of the expedition team, or even more...hehe."

A smile flashed across Matthew's eyes.

Perhaps this was Suriel's gift to him.

This army may be able to surprise many people in the star realm!

At this moment.

Matthew finally understood Rambo’s previous attitude.

These people do not regard themselves as traitors to the alliance at all!

It's just that the official can't do it in person.

They just gave themselves the identity of traitors, and the alliance officials had to pretend to want them.

Only in this way.

Only then can they legitimately go to the star realm to commit crimes without affecting the alliance itself.

Although this move to draw a clear line does not convince everyone.

But at least it can save the alliance some trouble.

Matthew felt slightly moved.

Alexander’s trip was similar to Margaret’s challenge to Purgatory.

the difference is.

The latter are still members of the Alliance on the surface, and quite a few devils are still afraid of them.

And Alexander and others were traitors to the alliance that everyone shouted to beat.

Matthew can imagine what kind of storm they will encounter after arriving in the star realm!

“Perhaps, I can do something about this.”

Thinking of this.

Matthew suddenly stood up.

He turned and walked towards the hall:

“Can I talk to them?”

Hood's voice came from behind:

“It’s not impossible, but as I said before, most of them are performing silencing rituals.”

“If you want to communicate with them, you must do so in a space that guarantees closure and privacy.”

Matthew stood firm and looked back:

"Do not worry."

“Absolutely secretive.”

Speaking, he returned to the hall.

Pairs of eyes focused on Matthew again.

Alexander stood up from the ground and looked at Matthew with a smile.

But Matthew walked past him.

He randomly selected two mages, one fat and one thin, from the crowd, and then took out the woodland staff. After obtaining their permission, he took the two of them to the Moonlight Woodland.

Beside a clear spring that makes a gurgling sound.

Matthew talked alone with the fatter mage among them.

This fat mage has a kind face and a round face, and he looks kind and gentle.

But his attitude towards Matthew was a little bad.

After temporarily lifting the silence ceremony.

He yelled at Matthew:

“Boy, you can’t decide anything. No one can stop our expedition, no one!”

“Sir Linde is still waiting for us in the star realm!”

“In the past seventy or eighty years, I have beaten many mages, including five or six who are as handsome as you. I don’t mind adding you to the list before I leave.”

He threatened Matthew ferociously, trying to completely overwhelm the latter.

But Matthew didn’t buy it at all.

He just said calmly:

“Linde won’t meet you at all. He has to do his best to refine the intelligence puzzle lock. This is a very long process.”

The fat mage suddenly fell silent.

Matthew said in a sincere tone:

“I have no intention of stopping you from leaving.”

“I just want to tell you that you can do more if you stay. The current alliance needs you very much.”

This is Matthew's heart.

This expedition was somewhat tragic in his mind.

He seemed to see the shadow of Margaret in them.

These people are indeed the mainstay of Heisuo Mountain.

They have rich combat skills, and their strength is countless times stronger than ordinary mages of the same level, especially when they are united!

This can also be seen from the fact that Alexander led them to besiege and kill several gods with weak divine power.

Except for those top bosses.

Alexander and his black gold troops are the few mages on this land who have experience in hunting gods.

They remain in the Material Plane.

Even if you don’t fight, passing on your experience is still a valuable asset.

Just like a moth to a flame, it rushed towards the star realm.

It’s really a pity.

Perhaps he was infected by Matthew's attitude, the fat mage's tone also softened:

"maybe."

“But people cannot always live for an illusory goal.”

“When I was young, they told me to take revenge, so I joined the Black Gold Army;

But when I grew up to be an excellent battle mage, they told me to be patient. I didn't say anything at the time, but I accepted the transfer of my position, and I endured this for almost a hundred years;

A few years ago, Ekmund told us that he would have his revenge in the future, but not now.

What he said is almost the same as what you are saying now. He just hopes that we can continue to use our residual heat in another place.

Do you know how I replied to him at that time? "

Matthew shook his head.

The fat mage said angrily:

“I’ll let him go back and eat shit!”

“I admit that it is a pity that my combat memories cannot be passed down, but this is not what I live for!”

“Fuck the greater good!”

“Sometimes I just want to be quick and quick!”

“I have never hindered anyone in my life, so now, I don’t want anyone to hinder me.”

Finished.

He puffed his beard and stared at Matthew.

He expected Matthew to say something.

But Matthew did nothing. He just gave the fat mage a slight salute, and then left quickly.

In the woods.

Matthew was accompanied by another thin, one-eyed mage.

This person looks fierce in appearance, but his attitude is extremely gentle.

“You just talked to Fanx?”

“He has a bad temper...I apologize to you on his behalf.”

The thin mage said politely:

“I hope you can forgive him, because in that disaster when the outer plane coalition invaded the northern land, four of his family members died at the hands of devils and warlocks.”

“Although a hundred years have passed, for us, a strange species with clear minds, it seems like it happened yesterday.”

“Fankes hates when others persuade him to give up his hatred...”

Matthew nodded slightly to express his understanding:

“I would never advise a person to give up hatred. This is someone else’s private matter and has nothing to do with me.”

The thin mage smiled happily.

Matthew was a little confused and said:

“If Vankes chose to join the Black Gold Force because he lost four relatives, why did you join the Black Gold Force in the first place?”

The smile on the thin mage's face has not diminished:

“Oh, I’m almost the same as him.”

“But the difference is that I lost eleven relatives in that disaster.”

Matthew's eyes flashed with astonishment, and he immediately whispered:

"Feel sorry."

The thin mage shook his head:

“This is not your fault, no need to apologize.”

"We are all from the North. We once lived in the Sand Plains, which was separated from the Far East by only a mountain range. I can still recall the scene when the wind blew strongly in the Sand Plains every autumn. I can vaguely see the coming and going of spring and autumn. The pastures and white clouds are not a particularly beautiful place, but sometimes you will feel that some scenes are quite spectacular."

“But if you rush there now, you will only see devastation and endless scorched earth.”

“The invaders from the outer plane burned everything to the ground, and lingering smoke and fire still linger on the windy sand plains. These are the wounds left by the Balrog Legion buried here that can never be healed. "

"When I first joined the Black Gold Army, I was still a 16-year-old boy. I still remember that my magic talent was not very high, but I finally passed the selection because I showed enough hatred for the invaders, but then... haha !”

"I am 117 years old this year...or is it 127? I can't remember clearly. No one can tell what time is like these days."

“In the past many years, many of us have held a naive idea like me: maybe with the passage of time, we can forget the pain of the past.”

“But the facts prove that this is not the case.”

"We keep getting older, but the hatred in our hearts grows day by day. Lord Ekmund said that we are affected by the wandering souls floating in the Far East - their hatred is repeatedly superimposed on our memories in dreams, and finally That’s why it became what it is now.”

“What he said is probably right.”

“But we are too old, so old that we have no time, no energy, or even no desire to distinguish these..."

“We just want revenge.”

“Just like what was sworn when the Black Gold Force was founded, eliminate those invaders from the outer plane and the masterminds behind them!”

"If it is our destiny to be assimilated by hatred, then let us carry this destiny and be buried in the stars together with the enemy."

“This is what we all want.”

“It’s really that simple.”

The old man spoke with force and sonority.

Matthew couldn’t help but be affected by his emotions:

“From the beginning, I had no intention of persuading you to change your mind.”

“I’m very grateful for this now.”

The old man smiled:

“Thank you, Matthew.”

"You are a very humble young man. I don't mean to compliment or flatter you, it's just a fact - most people at your age are crazy."

“I have seen too many such self-righteous people, including myself when I was young. At that time, it was too easy to be blinded by a leaf. I thought I saw the whole world, but maybe I only saw a **** in a corner of the world. ."

“But you are different, thank you for your understanding.”

Matthew blinked:

“You have already seen what I am planning?”

The old man burst out laughing:

“How can someone as smart as you come into direct conflict with so many of us?”

"For you, this is not a choice, but a bargaining chip." "Would you smash the chips that others give you?"

Matthew also laughed.

He shook the old man's hand vigorously:

"Take care of yourself."

The old man said boldly:

“Don’t worry, we may be much tougher than you think.”

“Maybe one day you will run into us when you travel to the astral world!”

Matthew nodded:

"hope so."

After chatting with the two mages.

Matthew found Alexander alone, pulled the latter to the Moonwood and isolated a confined space.

Matthew got straight to the point:

“How can I help you?”

Alexander was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly:

“Still the same shrewd Matthew.”

Matthew shrugged innocently:

“This has nothing to do with being smart, no one will refuse favors.”

Said.

Matthew untied Rambo's magic-forbidden bracelet and belt, and used the remote control to take away the electric shock collar.

Then he delivered the package to Alexander:

“Click and see if there are any missing ones?”

Alexander did not count the items and collected them directly.

Matthew didn't say anything when he saw this, and handed over three more scrolls.

Alexander took the scroll with a look of surprise on his face.

These are three legendary scrolls!

Matthew found them from the troll dungeon, but they needed the blood of trolls to identify them. Going through alliance channels cost a lot of money, so Matthew kept them at the bottom of the box.

Based on the configuration of black gold troops.

Matthew believes that identifying these three scrolls would have been an easy task for Alexander.

as expected.

Alexander personally identified the three scrolls on the spot.

ten minutes later.

He took two of them and returned the third to Matthew.

“We have no use for this thing, you can keep it for yourself.”

Alexander said.

Matthew took it and took a look and found that it was a "Great Resurrection" scroll!

“The troll’s great resurrection spell is very good. It is more effective than our resurrection spell. It can almost achieve 100% resurrection without affecting the soul!”

Alexander explained:

“But this thing can only be used within 30 minutes of death, and the effect will easily drift after a long time.”

Matthew nodded.

“Rambo said he owed you half a million?”

Alexander asked again.

Since he has decided to do favors, Matthew will naturally not be stingy with this small amount of money.

He tore up the IOU in front of Alexander:

“I don’t owe it now.”

However, Alexander said seriously:

“It is only natural to pay back debts.”

“We actually don’t have much money to spend when we go to the Star Boundary. Alliance gold coins are redundant.”

Said.

He took out 500,000 gold coins and gave them to Matthew.

Matthew is still hesitating whether to accept it or not.

Unexpectedly, Alexander took out some more things and handed them into Matthew's hands.

It includes 10 godhead fragments, a complete "Yi Xingzhou" production flow chart, and a thick "Hesuo Mountain Combat Code".

Matthew put the thick iron book in his hand and flipped through it. The table of contents and text of hundreds of articles flashed through it.

A large number of words and magic runes were floating in front of his eyes.

Let him see it dizzyingly.

“This...was written by you?”

Matthew was a little surprised.

Alexander corrected:

“This is written by me and the veterans of the Black Gold Army. It contains the unique skills of almost all the high-level battle mages who have served in Mount Blackso.”

“This is a very deadly book, please help me forward it to the Alliance!”

“By the way, remember to classify this book into taboo-related items as much as possible when collecting it…”

Matthew understood what Alexander meant.

Almost 80% of the combat techniques recorded in this magic book are underhand moves and extremely vicious routines.

If it falls directly onto the market, it may cause some tragedies.

Think for a moment.

Matthew decided to accept the book.

But when he was thinking about how to refuse other things, he suddenly saw Alexander looking at him with a smile.

that moment.

Matthew suddenly understood.

He couldn't help but ask:

“Did you prepare these things in advance?”

Alexander spread his hands, looking confused:

“Isn’t this the package you just gave me?”

“How is it possible to prepare in advance?”

Matthew understood.

With Alexander’s seniority, I am afraid he has already understood the alliance’s style of conduct.

He obviously guessed that the alliance would find someone to do this favor, so he made preparations in advance.

Let’s not mention the production drawings of Godhead fragments and Yi Xingzhou.

Alexander will definitely give the battle-related book to the Alliance, he just needs someone to transfer it.

If Matthew does not come today.

Then the person who changes hands may be Hood.

There has to be someone to do the favor, right?

Hood probably knew this too.

But he showed no objection to this, but was happy to see it happen.

“As expected, they are all old foxes…”

Matthew cursed secretly in his mind.

After chatting with Alexander for a few more words, the latter said goodbye.

Matthew suddenly asked:

“If your revenge is successful—I mean after you kill all the masterminds behind the invasion, what are you going to do?”

Alexander was slightly startled.

Then he smiled and shook his head and said:

“I haven’t thought about it yet, but thank you for having such confidence in us.”

Matthew said seriously:

"If you have nowhere to go or encounter trouble that is difficult to solve, you can send someone to the planet Stuluk to find a woman named Melinda."

Alexander nodded thoughtfully.

“The Queen of the Gizaites is in your hands, right?”

"Okay, with the help of the natives of the Star Boundary, your plan may go more smoothly, but be careful, she will regain her legendary strength as soon as she returns to the Star Boundary, and may also attract other Giza people to surround you. Du, you have to be careful about their psychic powers!"

Alexander said seriously:

"I see."

"Wish ya'll good luck!"

Matthew sent Alexander back to the hall, and after leaving these words, he said hello to Hood, and then left the city without looking back.

Outside Rolling Stone Town.

The moonlight on a spring night shines in the oak forest, as if laying a layer of shining fluorescence on the green grass that breaks out of the ground.

Matthew had just stepped out of the moonlight.

Saw a familiar and majestic figure head-on.

"teacher!"

Matthew immediately lowered his head.

This is Isabel's projection. Even so, every time the other party appears, it puts great pressure on Matthew.

“I thought you would at least show it.”

“Who knew you didn’t even go through the basic cutscenes and just let so many experienced mages go?”

“Matthew, you have caused great losses to the alliance!”

Isabel’s voice is as majestic and powerful as ever, giving people the feeling of speaking on your neck.

After Matthew finished listening.

The anxious heart actually calmed down.

He now understands Isabel's style too well.

The more serious the words are, the less likely there will be actual punishment.

So Matthew said calmly:

"I did not see anything."

"I just came back from Rapids. I just had a drink with Hood and didn't know anything else."

Isabel said coldly:

“Do you know nothing by saying you don’t know anything?”

“Do you know how hard I have to go to cover up the traces of your involvement?”

Matthew had a look of fear on his face.

Isabel’s tone was slightly slower:

“I will keep the serious mistake you made this time in mind.”

“I’ll do the calculations with you after you solve the Scar of the Dead project!”

“Hmph, give me the sickle in your hand!”

Matthew immediately offered the sickle of the **** of agriculture with both hands.

But Isabel's index finger and **** flicked on the sickle three times quickly.

The next second.

A surging power burst out from the sickle.

As if a beast in the abyss has broken free from all restraints and is about to rush out——

But at this time.

Isabel slapped the sickle, frowned and cursed:

“What’s it called!?”

The sickle immediately fell silent.

She threw the sickle to Matthew:

"This artifact has the seals of the Sun God and the God of Death. I will remove the seals of the God of Death for you. You can solve the remaining half of the seals yourself."

Matthew took the sickle with joy, and the properties of this weapon really changed.

The most significant one is the addition of an effect.

…

Hint: Emerald Scythe has a new effect "Tremor".

Tremor: When you hit the target's surface anywhere with your scythe, the chance of the opponent being stunned is greatly increased, and there is a 66% chance of causing the opponent's internal organs to bleed.

The trembling effect applies to creatures of any size and race.

Note: Please do not use it for entertainment activities, the consequences may be bleeding..."

…

The Emerald Scythe is a blunt weapon that has a powerful stun effect when it hits the back of the enemy's head.

Now not only the dizziness effect has been further strengthened.

There is also an additional special effect for attacking internal organs.

The additional combat power it can provide can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds!

Even if you encounter enemies with hard shells in the future.

Matthew can also disintegrate it from the inside by beating a cow across a mountain!

“This sickle and shovel are becoming more and more convenient...”

“On the contrary, this skull seems to have no use other than assisting in casting spells!”

Matthew secretly compared his several suitable weapons in his mind.

At this time.

Isabel’s figure also slowly faded away.

Her ethereal voice also echoed in the forest:

“The Traces of the Dead project can be started. All protective umbrellas must be completed at least before May. Any subsequent developments must be reported to me immediately.”

“And the most important thing!”

“Remember to end your virginity as soon as possible.”

“Otherwise I will have to take action myself…”

Isabel's voice echoed in the woods.

That moment.

Matthew’s cheeks felt hot.

He seemed to hear the whispers of countless small animals!

His eyes deviated.

I saw a black peacock that had just grown its feathers passing between two oak trees.

Matthew was so angry that he was about to arrest him, but as soon as he took a few steps, two figures appeared in his field of vision.

One of the girls wears a helmet that remains unchanged all year round. She is short and has a flat chest, but her appearance is pretty and cute.

The other man is tall and muscular. The most eye-catching thing is his right hand——
