A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 391 Destiny Swordsmanship and the Call of the Eastern Continent

 …

Feeling the unusual heat in Biana's eyes, Matthew couldn't help but want to reply:

“Is it normal for men to like high-intensity roles?”

Soon he realized.

My original guess about the death battle in the abyss was correct—Sif indeed killed those fallen angels who were at level 20!

 The blood of Baator is truly terrifying!

Matthew immediately responded:

“So it was Sif who really killed those monsters?”

 “You just used the word shred—how did she do it?”

Biana's mouth tightened and her cheeks bulged slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Matthew's way of forcibly changing the subject.

 But about what happened in the Abyss Deathmatch.

 The two girls probably had a tacit understanding in private.

　　Biana knew that she had let something slip, so she also chose to remain silent.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

 Matthew was not that eager to understand Sif's condition when she transformed into the daughter of purgatory.

 After taking the opportunity to divert Beanna's attention.

 He spoke again:

"I respect your decision."

"But you must always pay attention to safety. I think Tyrast's current situation is not stable. Yes, his attention is all on his people, but there is no guarantee when he may turn on outsiders - I'm not sure whether the master-disciple relationship between him and you is as strong as you think, it all depends on you to judge for yourself."

 While speaking.

 He took out three spell scrolls from his bag and handed them to Biana.

These are escape spells, not top-notch, but if prepared in advance, Biana should be able to gain a chance of survival even when facing Terrast.

 This is the superiority of spells for melee professions.

  Replaced with before.

Biana would probably not accept Matthew's things.

 But this time she chose to accept it with a smile.

Matthew could clearly feel the change in the girl's temperament from the other person's eyes.

Compared to the impressive confession when leaving Rolling Stone.

Beranna is indeed much more mature now.

 She obviously has her own ideas.

 This fact made Matthew appreciate it even more.

"I will protect myself. I have been learning these things from the moment I left Rolling Stone."

Biana's tone was light and cheerful, as if she had gotten something extraordinary when she put away the scroll.

On the contrary, Matthew suddenly felt a little uncomfortable—

 He came here mainly to find out about Terrast's situation from Terrani.

 From the current point of view.

Talani knew very little.

　　Perhaps this poor guy spent most of his time in a state of hypnosis by Beanna.

　　Normally he could not see his old father at all.

On the contrary, it was Biana who unknowingly became Terraste's disciple.

 Thinking of this.

Matthew just wanted to ask Biana if she had any information about Terraste’s whereabouts.

 The latter said with a clear understanding:

“Every morning at four o’clock, I go to Fengqipo to learn bamboo stick swordsmanship from Mr. Terraste for about an hour.”

“Fengqi Slope is the hillside near the southern city wall. There is a bamboo forest on it. I took you through it before.”

“If you have anything to say to Mr. Terraste, I can pass it on to you—he knows about our relationship, well, I mean he knows that we’re both from Rolling Stone.”

Matthew weighed the two troll sacred objects on hand and slowly said:

 “That’s just right.”

"Just tell me that I have two treasures from the era of the Troll Empire. I hope he can help me appreciate them. If possible, I will send them over in two days."

The Holy Grail of Sin and the Crown of Sin are both treasures that are extremely sensitive to evil elements.

 Feedback on mental changes is especially clear.

　　If there are traces of a distorted mind or interference with the will on Tyrast's body.

No matter how clever his methods are, he cannot hide these two sacred objects.

Biana naturally agreed.

 The next day.

 In the same room as the Prancing Pony Hotel.

 Biana brought a message from Terraste:

“Mr. Terraste asked me to tell you that he is doing something very important and he doesn’t want to be distracted at this juncture.”

"If there are more important things, he is willing to take time to see you, but just appreciating cultural relics."

“Also, he said to reassure you that he will not harm Ms. Ai Lan. If you are worried, you can send a messenger to write to Ms. Ai Lan.”

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

It seems that Tyrast knew exactly what he wanted to do—

As long as you don't hurt Ai Lan and don't involve the alliance, everything will be fine.

Since the other party has given enough face.

 It is naturally not easy for Matthew to be entangled here.

 After returning, he immediately sent the wild ghost Sangge to send a letter to Ai Lan.

 The letter was delivered as promised.

 Ai Lan also wrote a reply to Matthew.

This reply was not long. On the one hand, Ai Lan told Matthew that she was safe and had not been harmed by Terraste. On the other hand, she also expressed her hope that the Alliance could intervene and stop Terraste. ster's actions.

 She believed that by doing this, Tyrast was completely on the opposite side of elven society.

 There are people of all ages, men and women in the wood elf community.

 No one will support him.

Any policy that lacks a mass base and is forcibly advanced with extraordinary power will only lead to greater disasters.

Matthew actually agrees with Ai Lan’s point of view in this regard—

Tarast's steps were too big. This was no longer a matter of nonsense, but a direct stab into his heart three times.

 But he, like Ai Lan, was powerless to do so.

 So he wrote another letter to appease Ai Lan, and said that he would do his best to report the situation here to the Alliance, and looked forward to the Silver Council making the right decision.

 And in the exchange of letters.

Matthew also learned through the messenger Barbarian Ghost Sanger that Ailan was under house arrest by Terraste on a hillside called Trade Wind Cliff.

It was located at the second highest point of the Emerald Cangting, and the scenery was nice. She was fine and sound, but her mental condition was not good.

 Perhaps they are worried about the future of the wood elves.

soon.

 The owl sent a reply from the Silver Council.

As Matthew expected, the Silver Council hoped that he could pay close attention to Tyrast's mental condition, but not easily interfere with the internal decisions and actions of the elves.

 It is said that a special committee has been formed within the parliament, and during this period, the issue of Jade Cangting is being discussed intensely and eagerly.

 They will give a clearer answer as soon as possible.

Matthew read the reply letter several times, and only read a summary from it: "Just watch the fun, don't get in the way."

Hood then told him the truth behind the reply letter:

“The Seven Saints and Lord Ekmund are not here, and several legendary mages are also busy. No one in the Silver Council can take care of this matter.”

“What’s more, for them, killing some elves is not a bad thing.”

"They did form a committee about the Jade Cangting incident, but the committee was all composed of 20th-level fifth-level mages. Most of the time they could only discuss the appearance and figure of the wood elves. A few times they were studying How to profit from the catastrophe caused by Terraste for the Alliance - actually for themselves, but once someone asked who was going to stand in front of Terraste, the group began to discuss adjourning the meeting and what to eat for lunch. It’s a serious topic…”

This is the Silver Council.

Matthew is not surprised by this. Most of the powerful mages have their own sect. Even a science-based but powerful legend like Mulan has his own mage tower, and he rarely attracts people from the Silver Council.

 Those who remain are united in the parliament.

 Either it is the mouthpiece of the Seven Saints and Ekmund, or it is simply a mascot.

And it is indeed a bit embarrassing to expect a group of less-than-legendary old men to discuss how to deal with a legendary swordsman.

 See the situation.

Matthew followed suit and strictly followed the guidance of the Silver Council, turning a blind eye to what happened in the Jade Cangting.

But at the same time.

 He also managed to keep a close eye on Terraste's situation.

Every day he would go and talk to Béanna for a short while.

 Originally he thought.

Trast's acceptance of Biana as his disciple was just a perfunctory move.

 But after these days of understanding.

Matthew realized that Tyrast must have put some thought into teaching the art of swordsmanship.

This is not difficult to see from the fact that Biana complains about how difficult it is to practice swords almost every day, but her sword skills are getting better and better, and even have an indescribable charm.

 “Does Tyrast really want to take Biana as his disciple?”

“Is it possible that this little girl really has a talent for swordsmanship?”

Matthew couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

 And a few days later.

Biana also told Matthew that the swordsmanship she is practicing now is the destiny swordsmanship that Terraste created after encountering the apocalypse!

Destiny Swordsmanship is said to be divided into three stages.

 In the first stage, use a bamboo stick as a sword. Because the bamboo stick is hard and brittle, it is difficult for novices to control the strength.

 This weapon is most suitable for exercising mental strength.

 After reaching this level of control and ease, you can enter the second stage of learning.

 The second stage focuses on practicing various types of real swords, emphasizing the accumulation of a large amount of practical experience. It is necessary to reach the level of proficiency in each type of sword.

 There are no shortcuts at this stage.

 You can only practice hard.

 You need to accept an apocalypse before the third stage.

 Only after the apocalypse.

 Only one can reach the mysterious and mysterious realm of "everything can be a sword" like Terraste.

Matthew was very interested in the apocalypse that Terraste spoke of.

 He wanted to make an innuendo.

 Unexpectedly, Beanna said it directly:

"The teacher once said that the swordsmanship he practiced came from the Jade Phoenix swordsmanship left by Shenfeng back then, but it has surpassed it."

“In the process of practicing that set of swordsmanship, he gradually realized a state similar to what the monks said about the unity of heaven and man.”

“When he encountered the apocalypse, he saw many scenes, some of which were scenes of unknown lands, and some of which were scenes of the end of the world in the Far East.”

“He speculated that the images of the unknown land may have come from the Eastern Continent, and the apocalypse he encountered seemed to have been inspired by the incarnation of the Heavenly Dragon…”

 The Apocalypse of Tyrast actually comes from the Eastern Continent and Tianlong?

 This is something Matthew never expected.

 For a while he even suspected that the old elf man was bewitched by the Lord of the Void!

At first Matthew was a little unconvinced.

 Until Biana showed off a move in the Destiny Swordsmanship right in front of him.

Biana's moves are quite standard, and it seems that she has been taught by a famous teacher.

  But most importantly.

It was her charm at the moment when she drew her sword that made Matthew feel a little different.

 He once sensed the soul of the Heavenly Dragon on Junliu Island.

 She is quite sensitive to the breath of Tianlong.

Hence he can be sure that the opponent's sword moves are indeed related to Tianlong.

at the same time.

 Matthew also reacted—

  No matter how talented Biana was in swordsmanship, she would not be able to master it so quickly.

 The sword she showed to herself.

I’m afraid it’s also the power and charm of Terraste that is displayed!

The old elf man is indeed an old fox. He is obviously very aware of Matthew's concerns, so he constantly sends goodwill signals to Matthew in various ways.

 It is certainly impossible for him to release Ai Lan in the short term.

 Because the latter would be a stumbling block to his plans.

But there is no way he can go against the Alliance.

 He knows exactly what is appropriate.

After thinking about all this, Matthew had nothing to say.

 Since Tyrast is determined to shoulder the fate of the wood elves on his own shoulders.

 He can only welcome the arrival of the next wave as a bystander.

However, this incident touched Matthew in another way—

 The twinkling of the seven stars of Yuanzi;

 The Apocalypse of Terraste;

 Yu Lian’s call from the Far East;

 As the odd celestial event approaches, the once dusty power of the Eastern Continent seems to be overflowing.

That unknown land may be ushering in a new resurgence.

This feeling is not unfounded.

Since Matthew solidified the equilibrium node, he has a vague ability to capture luck and even fate.

This kind of capturing ability is still relatively shallow.

 But he believed he could see some general direction.

 “Northland, East…”

 In the dark.

 Matthew looked northeast—

Cross the Helen Mountains and the fertile black sand plains, follow the mainland highway all the way north, cross Sword Winter City and the Twin Bays, and wade through the Death Delta wandering with ice, snow and murderous intent. That is the end of the desolate road, where there is a place full of disasters. The poor land of the Far East.

nowadays.

Matthew saw streaks of red and purple aura steaming up.

 He saw disasters, wars…

 There is still a new life!

“No wonder Li Weiqi finally chose to give it a try to the north.”

“There may be traces of active dragons in the far west, but if the Eastern Continent really sees an opportunity for recovery, the Far East will inevitably usher in a new transformation.”

 “Perhaps he really still has a chance to become a legend...”

 The lines in the field of vision slowly disappear.

Matthew then withdrew his gaze.

 The whole world is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

 And what he can do.

 Only hard work and waiting.     The next period of time.

Matthew no longer interferes with the affairs of Jade Cangting, and at the same time strictly restricts the scope of actions of the mages.

 In addition to executing the umbrella plan.

No one is allowed to approach the city of Jade Cangting.

Tarast is also very considerate.

The few Windseekers who remained loyal to him were sent out to maintain order around the Scar of the Dead.

Matthew's project is going extremely smoothly.

 He even had time to go to the sampan plane to take care of things.

 After taking over Windward Valley.

Matthew almost immediately built a huge cemetery outside the Troll Corridor.

The number of undead in the new cemetery is not large, but the negative energy aura is very strong.

Mainly because Matthew is rich now and is willing to spend money. He directly arranged for two boxes of negative energy crystal clusters used to cultivate the atmosphere, and other items such as black locust, dead man's stakes, high-end tombstones, etc.

 Taking into account the convenience of trade in the future.

Matthew also opened a trade route in the middle of the cemetery.

 The switch on this business road is controllable.

 When it is closed, it is part of the cemetery. When it is open, it can be independent and free from the influence and erosion of negative energy.

 While the caravan members were walking on the trade road, they were inevitably under pressure from both sides of the cemetery.

 This is also a little thought of Matthew.

  The sampan plane is the transit terminal between the main material world and the astral world.

 As long as it is run properly.

 Profits will definitely come rolling in.

Matthew is pulling people from all walks of life to the end, and at the same time, he also has to determine his own dominant position.

Although the probability of being kicked out accidentally is very small.

 But you have to give yourself a sense of presence, right?

Through the fourth cemetery established in Windward Valley, Matthew also transported the bones of mammoths, bone dragons, and Beamon to the sampan plane.

 The latter currently has very strong negative energy.

Especially around Tyrannosaurus Town, it has become an enclave of the negative energy plane in the outer plane.

Matthew plans to open up an additional giant undead transformation place in this area.

A ceremony venue like this actually does not require special management.

  The climate created by the Undead Scourge is enough for it to function on its own.

Matthew just needs to make sure that this secondary plane is under his control.

 In his plan.

 Only two cities will appear on the sampan plane in the future—

 One of them is the Parthian Town built on the ruins of Tyrannosaurus Town.

 The town of Parthia is positioned as Matthew’s city of the undead.

 It will not be open to living people from the outside world.

A large number of cemeteries will be built here for the undead to rest and to attract other undead units from all major planes.

Remains such as the Mammoth Bone Dragon are buried nearby.

Matthew planned to let them transform themselves, which would save them a lot of effort.

The other one is Oak Town, which was built on the ruins of Night Angel City—

Matthew plans to plant an oak forest there to dilute the negative energy of the new city.

Oak Town is responsible for external business, and when it becomes prosperous, it should also attract a part of the star realm population.

 But that is all for the future.

 At present, Matthew still has a lot of things to be busy with.

 The first thing he has to do is to disperse this wave of undead natural disasters.

 Thanks to Fan Zijue’s help in advance, he digested the projection of the God of Death.

 When Matthew rushed back to the sampan plane.

 The self-rolling Death Canopy has impressively controlled more than 70,000 undead!

 Even if the authority is in hand.

Matthew also felt the ambition of Death Canopy that was unwilling to stop.

Not only that.

The other party also transformed into various evil thoughts and constantly persuaded him. Through the excellent mobility of the sampan plane, he used undead natural disasters to devour the creatures in other secondary planes.

 This can make Matthew even more powerful.

This temptation is indeed straightforward and startling.

 Fortunately Matthew is determined.

 It took two and a half days.

Matthew lifted the ritual spell of the Undead Scourge step by step.

 At the moment when the canopy of death dissipates.

Countless resentment and resentment rushed straight into Matthew's soul!

Unfortunately, Matthew was determined and unmoved, and he also had the Lost Lantern in hand, so he put away those scattered resentments directly.

Although these resentments are not souls, they can actually be extracted into spirituality.

 Matthew did not intend to do this.

 It is more cost-effective to leave it to professionals like Fan Zijue.

after all.

 He is still thinking about the Sun God Spear in the opponent's hand!

 After the undead natural disaster is lifted.

Where the more than 70,000 undead go has become a problem.

 The elite among them will of course be recruited into the regular army by Matthew.

 But most of the undead are just soldiers and generals.

The precious quota in the Necronomicon will not be wasted on them.

 In theory.

　　The source of power, the Death Canopy, was lost.

 Sooner or later they will dissipate on their own.

 It just takes a little time.

But Matthew knew very well that these out-of-control undead souls could cause disaster, and it would be a waste to let them disperse.

 For better aftermath.

 He had to personally use the resting technique to knock down these undead one by one.

 He doesn’t pay much attention to this aspect.

 Because the entire sampan plane is a huge cemetery in his plan.

These resting immortals lie down wherever they like!

certainly.

 In order to ensure that their bones will not lose their spirituality and become fragile under the wind, sun, rain and rain.

Matthew will still send some undead to bury their compatriots on the spot.

 Because the number of this group of undead is too large.

Matthew had to use 100 undead people to put together a symbolic tombstone.

Tombstones can be used to mark the resting souls.

  One day.

If Matthew wants to reawaken them, he only needs to activate the spirituality on the tombstone.

 After resting in peace, most of the undead will slowly be corroded and become part of the earth again.

 If it is in the main material realm.

Matthew estimates that in 10 years, less than 30% of the 70,000 undead will remain.

  But the negative energy of the sampan plane is strong enough.

 At least 80% of the soldiers will be able to get up and go home to work in 10 years.

If Matthew is willing to do more in-depth maintenance.

 This time can last longer.

that's all.

Matthew hurriedly traveled back and forth between the plane of the sampan and Windward Dale.

 The time has come to the end of May.

Good news came from the mage camp in Windward Valley.

 The extension section of the Umbrella Project 2.0 has been completed.

Except for Gray Lake, which is the most difficult to solve, scorched soil of death with obvious attribute restraint has been planted near the Mark of the Dead in other places.

 The remaining oak forests are still following.

 When all the oak forests are planted.

Matthew will personally take action to conclude a large-scale balanced contract to achieve a better protective effect.

During this time.

There are also situations where ash monsters try to counterattack in many stretches of the Mark of the Dead.

 But because of the advance plan, the mages under Matthew were not a vegetarian, and quickly used various means to eliminate the ash creatures.

So far.

 The expansion of the Scar of the Dead has been contained except for Gray Lake.

  Matthew can now shift his focus to the most important part.

 During this period.

 Matthew’s Spell Guild also welcomed two new members—

Li Weiqi and Carmela, who were far away in the North, joined the Magic Guild.

So.

The already increasingly bloated trade union warehouse has added some new specialties from the north.

 The chat room that was relatively deserted before is now filled with people almost every day.

certainly.

 The one with the most bubbles is Rhaegar.

This guy not only used up all the free chats every day, but also purchased many additional chats due to his high contribution.

 Because the template of the chat room is a bit like Matthew’s QQ group in his previous life.

 Thus Rhaegar has the highest level.

And every time he appears, he carries the title of "Guild Elder".

 There is always a feeling of uncertainty when speaking.

 Most people who don’t know him will be intimidated by him.

 Fortunately, everyone in the group knows the basics.

 It didn’t make much of a joke at the time, but Matthew, who just liked to watch the excitement, also developed the habit of checking the president’s badge once a day.

In general.

  The development of magic guilds is quite benign.

The only thing that surprised Matthew was that although he had sent out the invitation a long time ago, Sif had not joined the guild yet.

exactly.

 Since Sif went to the Warlock Academy in the Floating City.

 Matthew never said hello to her.

 He specifically asked Rhaegar about this.

Rhaegar claimed that the classes at the Warlock Academy were very easy, and Sif should have been free to join.

Matthew was even more confused about this.

Sif's hot and cold attitude suddenly made him feel itchy.

 He almost wanted to go to the floating city to ask the other party what was going on!

 Fortunately, Matthew restrained himself in time.

“There are still many things waiting for me to do now.”

“Let’s wait until the next time we go to the Floating City and stop by the Warlock Academy!”

 He thought so.

Matthew is currently learning the Parasitic Skull spell taught by Ekmund.

He chose the head of a dragon warrior from Tyrannosaurus Town, which perfectly met the conditions. The spirituality was between strong and weak, and the strength of the skull and the strength of the original owner during his lifetime were also relatively good.

even so.

 Matthew also spent a lot of effort to control this head.

The alien spells are too evil.

  Matthew lacks experience to draw on, and many times the spellcasting paths he usually relies on do not work.

 He must reestablish a spellcasting circuit.

 This is also one of the difficulties of otherworldly spells—it is difficult for people with conservative thinking to master spells from another world.

 Fortunately Matthew is quite flexible.

 At the beginning of June.

 He successfully mastered the Parasitic Skull and trained the dragon warrior's head to be able to scale freely.

 At the smallest time.

 Even only as big as the toes of the toes.

 According to the suggestions in the magic book, it can be made into a pendant or earrings and placed around you.

  Matthew chose a pendant, mainly because it is not easy to lose.

 After mastering this spell.

 He will have a chance to get rid of the amulet given by Ekmund.

However, the situation in Jade Cangting is very turbulent.

Matthew has no intention of catching creatures to devour around here.

He originally wanted to catch an unlucky egg near the Garden of Fallen Leaves for experimentation.

But just when he was about to leave.

A mage apprentice responsible for keeping an eye on Gray Lake on the southern city wall suddenly rushed over:

 “Lord Matthew!”

“There is an abnormal situation over at Gray Lake. Logically speaking, today is not a boiling day, but the lake water suddenly rolled violently, and the phoenix egg also appeared!”

"Another of my companions also saw the figure of Lord Terrast next to the Gray Lake. He was not sure if it was him, or he might be a lost heart, but after the elf's figure lingered nearby, There was an abnormal boiling situation in Gray Lake..."

 Gray Lake, Phoenix Egg, Apocalypse in the Eastern Continent?

 A strong, uncomfortable premonition stimulated Matthew's nerves.

 He took a deep breath:

 “You go and inform Lord Hood.”

 “I’ll go over and take a look first.”

 …
