A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 386: Matthew is dead!

Chapter 386 "Matthew is destroyed!"

…

Matthew looked at Fan Zijue with burning eyes:

“Why do you have so many good things in you?”

Fan Zijue smiled faintly:

“As long as you live long enough, you will have some reserves. If it were you, you might be richer than me.”

“Many things that seemed ordinary at the time may become extremely precious in the next era.”

“Even if you collect a bunch of waste, in the long years, some of them can always find their use, and occasionally you will find one or two unexpected surprises - this is the charm of time.”

Matthew’s eyes showed curiosity:

“How long have you lived?”

Fan Zijue did not shy away, there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes:

“I was already in the underworld when the first batch of Twilight Creatures arrived in Irondor.”

Matthew was silent.

This is a pretty scary answer.

The lifespan of Dusk Creation far exceeds that of most of the gods in Tianlun Palace. Even the ancient gods before Tianlun Palace was not established may not be able to compare with it!

And is Fan Zijue actually an old guy on the same level as Twilight Creation?

I don’t know if there is an illusion.

Matthew felt his right hand was a little itchy, as if he was about to release the touch of death automatically...

But this does explain why Fan Zijue has so many treasures on his body.

Still standing through many generations.

Even though he is guarding a corner of the underworld and holds the title of messenger of the underworld, Viscount Fan cannot be underestimated.

“No wonder the Spirit Touch Hall has no rivals in the Demon Realm of Ravenloft. If you want to, unifying the underworld won’t be a problem for you, right?”

Matthew looked at Fan Zijue with burning eyes.

Fan Zijue shook his head:

"you are wrong."

"I just lived a little longer. Although there is a general rule - that is, the longer you live, the more likely you are to be strong, but there are some exceptions, such as me."

“My strength is not as strong as you think. The reason why I can continue to this day is that I rarely make mistakes.”

“I have seen many beings who are stronger than me and live longer than me, but they all made fatal mistakes, and after a period of glory, they ushered in a cliff-like decline.”

“In comparison, I prefer to do my own things in a low-key manner.”

Matthew felt a little emotional:

“You actually resisted the temptation to become a god.”

Since Viscount Fan was a figure from the era when Creation of Dusk arrived in the world of Irondor.

So when most living beings are pursuing the road to becoming gods.

He should have many opportunities to be promoted to **** in his life.

But he didn't do it.

Instead, he is willing to become a civil servant who clocks in daily under the command of Death.

This kind of choice is not something everyone can make.

Fan Zijue smiled.

He did not deny that he did have the opportunity to become a god.

He just explained softly:

“Not everyone wants to be a god, at least that’s not my pursuit.”

“I only care about the underworld, and I only hope it will be as eternal as the universe.”

“In my opinion, the underworld is the cornerstone of the multiverse. As long as this cornerstone is maintained, no matter how windy or rainy it is outside, my world will remain as peaceful as ever. That’s enough.”

Fan Zijue's tone of voice was very cold, with the unique chill of creatures from the underworld.

But Matthew felt several real feelings.

“Not everyone is eager to move up, Matthew.”

Fan Zijue rarely said a few more words:

“That’s too tiring.”

“If possible, I just want to be a stone that looks up at the stars in the underworld.”

“The underworld is my hometown and the place where I will rest after death.”

“The starry sky is beautiful, but for me, just looking at it is enough.”

Matthew was affected by Fan Zijue’s words, and his heart became calmer.

Soon he couldn't help but shook his head:

“Even if you don’t want to climb up, the prerequisite for settling down is that you have enough strength, right?”

Fan Zijue blinked:

"certainly."

“The stones in the underworld are very hard.”

“In fact, since the death of the God of Death, people from all walks of life have come to the underworld, some to test secretly, and some to come and do random things -

Most of them heard that I was very rich and wanted to get some profit from me.

I’m actually quite grateful to them…”

Matthew said doubtfully:

"Why?"

Fan Zijue said calmly:

“Because they worked very hard after they died.”

“Working much harder than when they were alive…”

Matthew’s mouth twitched slightly.

All right.

For a messenger from the underworld, such a cold joke is not too much.

After all, I used similar cases to threaten those arsonists.

The moment.

Matthew’s eyes shifted back and forth between the three items.

His eyes were a little troubled:

“Do you have to choose one of the three?”

“Can I have them all?”

Fan Zijue thought for a while:

“Of course it’s not possible to have them all.”

“But you can choose up to two.”

Matthew suddenly looked surprised, but he soon calmed down:

“What are the conditions?”

Fan Zijue said:

“You help me hunt down a person.”

Matthew asked tentatively:

“Isn’t it because the matter on Shenlong Island hasn’t been settled yet?”

Fan Zijue shook his head:

“It’s done.”

"While you were busy launching the undead natural disaster to destroy the world, Sen'er had already led people to destroy the base of the Hades Cult on Shenlong Island."

“That guy was very aggressive and directly detonated the volcano under the sea of Shenlong Island. After that battle, all the islands sank below the sea level. There were almost no members of the Hades Cult on the island alive..."

"Like you, he also brought me a large number of souls, but those souls were intercepted by the Hades Cult. This coincides with my previous guess - the Hades Cult is indeed secretly intercepting this book. Souls that should go to the underworld!”

"But that guy Sen'er is not very honest. He hid something from me during this commission."

“He told me that he would use the poisonous fangs to break the Dragon Ring made by the Cult of Hades, but in fact he did not do that, but stole the Dragon Ring through other means.”

“So to this day, the two treasures, the Poisonous Fang and the Dragon Ring, have fallen into Sen’er’s hands. The functions of these two treasures are of great importance. You should understand what I mean…”

Matthew frowned:

“It’s not the price to kill Sener.”

In fact.

Matthew knew very well that he could not kill Sener at all. As long as a wanderer of this level did not seek death, he would definitely not die!

It's just a bargain.

Have to bluff.

Fan Zijue was startled for a moment, then he laughed and said:

"I don't mean to let you deal with Sen'er. I just want to remind you that he has these two treasures in his hand. Isn't the relationship between you not very good? What if he plans to use those two treasures for something? , at least you can be prepared."

"The person I want you to kill is another person. His name is Hayek, and he is the deputy leader of the Cult of Hades."

"Hayek is one of the few survivors on Shenlong Island. According to Sen'er's description, this guy took away at least half of the treasures of the Hades Cult and is currently on the east coast. He is very likely to go north and enter Northland, or go to the Helen Mountains to live in seclusion for a while.”

Matthew said doubtfully:

“Why continue to hunt?”

“Are you interested in the treasures of Hades?”

Fan Zijue shook his head:

“I just don’t want anyone to lie to me.”

“Matthew, you have dealt with me many times. I think I have always been a good talker. In business, fairness is what matters.”

“I hope you can help me find Hayek. Before killing him, it’s best to find out what happened on Shenlong Island.”

Matthew shrugged:

"It goes without saying that Sen'er must have lied to you. Maybe he stole half of the treasure and then found someone to pretend to be the deputy leader of the Hades. It's even possible that the so-called Hayek actually lied to Sen'er. Made up out of thin air.”

Fan Zijue said with a serious face:

“Of course what you’re talking about is possible, but I need evidence.”

"About Hayek, I can confirm that this character really exists, and it is indeed as Sener said that after the destruction of Shenlong Island, Hayek went ashore alone and is currently wandering in the south."

“He has a high status in the Cult of Hades. Before the Shenlong Island incident, this guy had been promoting the plan to find the Death Prophet…”

Death prophet?

Hearing this word, Matthew couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

He remembered that when he met Orolin at the tombs, he did meet a group of people from the Cult of Hades.

Those people keep saying that they want to ask the Death Prophet to do something.

Because it concerns Orolin.

Matthew naturally asked two more questions:

“What kind of person is this?”

Viscount Fan glanced at Matthew, and then said thoughtfully:

"Death Prophet is just a name and a title. Many people have used this title in history, but the most famous one should be a clone of the God of Death."

“During the heyday of Tianlun Palace, the God of Death liked to walk around the world. He would transform into various forms to experience the world of mortals. One of the more famous ones was the Prophet of Death.”

“He was an adult man who lived alone and had a withdrawn personality. People often met him in the wilderness, but most of the time he was sleeping.”

"The Death Prophet likes to play pranks very much. He always likes to pretend to be a dead person lying in a coffin, and then stage a show of pretending to be a corpse. He even often plays similar pranks in the funeral procession. Therefore, for a long time, his reputation has not been not so good."

“In a certain era, that was also the period when the Death Prophet was most active. He appeared at the scene of disasters many times and gave death warnings to nearby creatures.”

"In about a short period of just a hundred years, the Death Prophet informed all living beings in advance of disasters such as the coming of tsunamis, sudden avalanches, fires without warning, and the coming locust plague. Over time, he became a very loud voice in Irondor. visibility.”

“But people have mixed opinions about him. Some people think that the Death Prophet can predict the future and can always give warnings. He is a kind-hearted person.”

"Some people believe that the warnings of the Death Prophet have never changed the outcome of disasters. Looking back in hindsight, his warnings have no meaning except increasing panic. Some people even suspect that those disasters were caused by the Death Prophet. Without warning, disasters would have It won't happen. This kind of statement is very popular in many city-states in the north..."

“But in my opinion, it was just the God of Death looking for some fun for himself out of boredom. He actually didn’t think much about it at all.”

The Death Prophet is actually the incarnation of the God of Death?

Matthew's heart trembled.

Then Brother Olorin, isn’t it...

He hurriedly asked:

“The Death Prophet you mentioned, does he like to use fireball?”

Fan Zijue shook his head, and then looked at him with a strange look:

"As far as I know, the Death Prophet transformed by the God of Death has not used fireball. In his long career, there has been no precedent of using fireball. Well, it doesn't exist in my memory anyway."

"On the contrary, Lord Death has always felt that simple and crude spells like fireball are simply insulting to the name of magic. He once found the magic goddess Ye Li and asked her to remove fireball from magic."

"The reason he told the goddess of magic Ye Li is that the fireball technique is too low-end, not mysterious enough, and affects the dignity of magic. But as far as I know, the deeper reason is probably his friend and opponent-Sun God President Gerald. It’s because he loves to use fireball techniques to target Him…”

Sun God Gerald likes to use fireball?

Matthew's expression became a little subtle.

There should be no need for Viscount Fan to lie about this kind of thing, and based on his experience, it is reasonable for him to know something about the God of Death and the God of the Sun.

If that’s the case.

Then the origin of Orolin is a bit interesting...

Fan Zijue looked at Matthew curiously:

“What’s your expression?”

Matthew coughed:

“I just didn’t expect big shots to be so…childish?”

Fan Zijue chuckled:

“Sometimes big people are much more naive than you think!”

"Speaking of which, from what I learned about the teachings of Hades, they firmly believe that there is a God of Hades above the God of Death. When the rule of the God of Death comes to an end, Hades will come to the underworld to take charge of everything."

"According to them, Hades will descend into the body of the Death Prophet, replace the incarnation and authority of Death, and then become the supreme ruler of the underworld. For this reason, Hayek has been looking for the Death Prophet. Unfortunately, since Death disappeared, After that, the Death Prophet disappeared completely, and no one could find his hiding place."

"If I had to guess, he might be sleeping in a corner right now!"

Matthew scratched his head inwardly and thought to himself that Viscount Fan was really good at judging people.

His relationship with Fan Zijue is actually very good.

But the Death Prophet thing is a bit sensitive.

Matthew promised Olorin to cause him as little trouble as possible, so he chose to hold back a little.

He said decisively:

“I can deal with that Hayek for you and find out the truth about Sener and Shenlong Island.”

“Of these three items, I want to take away the meat cleaver and the combination of the Eight-pole Celestial Instrument and the Wings of Fufeng.”

As he said that, he reached out and took what he wanted.

Fan Zijue did not stop him.

He just said with some surprise:

“I thought you wouldn’t miss the Sun God’s weapons.”

Matthew shrugged:

“I want it too, but a life-saving tool is a better thing.”

“As for the Baji Celestial Instrument and the Wings of Fu Feng, I just conquered the Sampan Plane and you sent me such a treasure. Of course I have no reason to refuse.”

The sampan plane is a ferry boat that travels between the material world and the astral world.

　　Matthew took the ship.

But when and which dock to dock at, Matthew cannot decide.

And with the Baji Celestial Instrument and the Wings of Fu Feng.

He can then control the sampan plane to travel between specific worlds.

This will greatly enhance Matthew's control over the new territory.

Moreover, this pair also contains a trade route to the Eastern Continent, which Matthew cannot miss.

The meat cleaver is a life-saving item.

Matthew has always been willing to accept life-saving props.

Especially after experiencing this undead natural disaster, deep down in his heart, he was actually more eager to improve his strength.

However, the improvement of magic power cannot be achieved overnight. And it has only been a little over a year since the first summons of Philoleus.

Matthew’s progress can be described as the speed of light!

For a mage.

It actually needs time to settle and digest.

Can be used in the current situation.

Growing up quietly seems to have become a very luxurious situation.

Even though she has Isabel’s patron saint.

Matthew also had to make extra preparations.

As for the Spear of the Sun God.

“Anyway, it’s in the hands of Fan Zijue. I’ll save more souls and exchange them with him next time…”

That’s what Matthew thought.

For a moment.

He even came up with the idea of another undead disaster!

Fortunately, his reason dispelled it in time.

“Greed is really terrible...”

Matthew was secretly alert.

However, at this time.

The death canopy suddenly began to shake violently.

　　The two original projections of the God of Death have become substantial to varying degrees.

　　followed by.

It was accompanied by a strange mournful sound from heaven and earth.

The projection of the third **** of death has arrived!

Matthew’s pupils shrank—

The facial details of this projection of the God of Death are quite clear. You can almost see the hair on the God of Death’s face!

The other party's indifferent and domineering expression was also lifelike.

Matthew has a feeling that the other person is about to "come to life"!

…

“Tip: Driven by the Death Sky, you automatically summoned the third Death God projection, and the intensity of the Undead Scourge continues to increase...

　　Warning: The Death Canopy has a slight backlash on you! "

…

that moment.

Matthew felt that the blood in his chest was boiling, and there was a rush of heat, trying to shake off Matthew's hands and feet, and wander freely between heaven and earth.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a moment.

Matthew did not hesitate to use the "authority: the father of the undead" he had just obtained to suppress him severely!

“Being attacked by the undead natural disaster?”

Fan Zijue was originally attracted by the projection of the God of Death.

But quickly.

He looked at Matthew with a serious expression.

Matthew nodded slightly:

“It’s not a big problem.”

“I can suppress it.”

Fan Zijue hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative and said:

“The projections of these three gods of death will contribute to the natural disaster of the undead. At this point, their existence is harmful rather than beneficial to you.”

Matthew agrees with his statement:

"I see."

"After a while, I will start to dismantle the undead natural disasters. I will not give them the chance to get out of control."

Fan Zijue nodded and said:

“Let me help you.”

“It just so happens that I can use the power of Lord Death to improve the level of the lost lantern.”

Said.

He took the lost lantern from Matthew's hand.

The next second.

Fan Zijue's figure suddenly appeared above the death canopy.

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

This is the first time he has seen Fan Zijue take action in person!

Faced with the projection of the God of Death.

But I saw Fan Viscount bowing slightly towards the three Death God projections, and then raised the lost lantern in his hand high.

In an instant.

The three Death God projections actually spoke at the same time:

“You want to detain me?”

Fan Viscount waved his robe expressionlessly, his lips slightly opened, and then, a sharp whistle like a ghost crying or a wolf howling burst out from Fan Viscount's chest and abdomen.

Hum!

Matthew subconsciously covered his ears, but he still felt a splitting headache!

And above the sky.

The projections of the three gods of death instantly turned into countless black bats, scurrying and escaping in all directions!

Viscount Fan continued to scream, and then threw the lantern in his hand.

Those black bats merged into the lantern involuntarily.

five minutes later.

The starry sky above the canopy is clear, and the shadow of death is no longer visible.

But the lantern in Fan Zijue's hand was shining brightly, as bright and timeless as a star.

He gave the lantern to Matthew:

"alright."

“Now, those vicious grudges will no longer affect your spells.”

Matthew asked:

“You mean, the projection of Death is actually a vicious resentment?”

Fan Zijue nodded:

“They are a collection of resentments of the creatures you killed through the Undead Scourge. From the perspective of negative energy, they can add strength to the Undead Scourge and contribute to the flames.”

"This itself is a phenomenon in which spells and ritual sites leverage the external manifestation of the laws of the plane - because the imprint of Lord Death is still firmly stamped on every field related to it, these groups of resentments will use Lord Death's The appearance appears in front of us.”

"But you don't have to worry about them, because the real God of Death is unlikely to appear in this level of projection, these are just superficial shells!"

Fan Zijue's tone seemed a little sad.

But after saying this, he put on the crow mask.

This means preparing to say goodbye.

Matthew was sensible and didn’t ask any more questions.

He lowered his head and looked at the strengthened Lost Lantern.

…

“Record: Fan Zijue used the legendary ability “Death Scream” to destroy the projection of the God of Death!

Hint: Your Lost Lantern has been greatly enhanced. The following are the enhanced or new functions—

1. The number of spirits that the Lost Lantern can accommodate reaches 100,000.

　　2. Fan Zijue’s Soul Chain: After activating this special effect, the Lost Lantern will project a large number of soul chains within a radius of 300 meters to arrest nearby spirits.

This chain has a strong suppressing, restraining and arresting effect on the soul body.

The effect on living people is reduced to one-fifth of normal conditions.

Can be used three times a day.

3. Viscount Fan's Death Scream: The Lost Lantern emits the scream of Viscount Fan, which is extremely lethal to souls and those who specialize in psychic abilities.

Can be used three times a day.

4. Dusk Wings (pseudo-legendary/boss template): The Dusk Wings that can be summoned by the Lost Lantern have been greatly improved.

Now.

Your Dusk Wings have a creature level of LV23.

When you are walking in the underworld or the negative energy plane, Duskwing will be a better flying mount! "

…

The Dusk Wing is an ugly flying mount.

Its head has protruding teeth like a mouse, and its head is like a bat;

Its cortical skin is tight on the skeleton, its eyes are empty, its body is covered with mottled bone plates, and a pair of giant wings extend from its shoulders;

If it weren’t for the flickering soul fire from time to time, people would realize that this is an undead creature.

Most of the time it looks more like a skeletal specimen.

Matthew has never ridden Dusk Wings before, mainly because the previous flying mount was not of a high level.

He has the Red Flame Nightmare and the Heavenly Pegasus as his companions, so naturally he is not very popular.

It’s different now.

Fan Zijue raised the level of Twilight Wings to the legendary realm. Although it has no domain and does not meet the definition of a true legend, there has indeed been a real improvement in attributes.

Matthew plans to try summoning it next time he goes to the negative energy plane.

At the same time, what made him even more curious was—

How on earth did Fan Zijue raise the creature level of a creature that was obviously not a legendary creature to level 20 or above?

But Matthew had second thoughts.

Viscount Fan has lived for so many years and has countless good things in his hands.

There are even weird things like magic guilds.

Making pseudo-legendary creatures is not difficult at all.

After seeing off Viscount Fan.

The ruins of the Night Angel City fell into a dead silence.

Matthew continued to search the city for loot.

At the same time, he also took the time to check on the situation of Jade Cangting.

In the chat room of the Spell Guild.

Line after line of records flowed before Matthew’s eyes.

The record he looked at was from some time ago, and the chat room was quite active at that time—

…

“Loran: Did you see it? Matthew is dead!

Bobo: What a terrifying power. Are those Matthew’s claws? so big!

Richard: Mages are indeed perverts, especially necromancers!

Rhaegar: Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand it? Did I miss something again? What the **** did Matthew do again? It wasn't mentioned in today's newspaper...

Lumière: +1

Lumière: Sorry, I misclicked again, but I really don’t know what Matthew did in detail. I only know that he hurriedly got into a cave alone before, and then asked us to stand by in the Moonglade.

Lumière: Wait, why do you know what happened? Aren't we in the same place? @波波

Loran: I’ll give you some tips, add more perception, or change your profession to a bard.

Rhaegar: What does this have to do with perception? I've always been very sharp! Many ladies say this!

Hibbert: Is Matthew here? Something happened. Well, I'm not very good at using this chat room function. Can anyone tell me how to chat with Matthew privately?

Guild Elf Xixi: I have already privately messaged you, @hibert"

…

See here.

Matthew immediately looked at the private chat box.

But see Hibbert say this:

“Something big happened in Jade Cangting!”

“Trast suddenly came back and went on a killing spree in the city. He killed many elves, which caught us off guard.”

"Feliwen and I are very confused now. Should we help the elves who are defenseless, or should we help Terraste..."

This message was sent about an hour ago.

Matthew missed it without paying attention before.

Hibbert added another message later:

"Okay, we decided not to help each other, you can do your job."
