A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 393: What's the cost?

Chapter 393 What’s the price?

…

“Is there such a spell?”

Matthew was quite curious.

177 said in a serious tone:

“There are all kinds of spells in the spell library. Only you can’t imagine it, and no one else can’t imagine it.”

“Remember, don’t stick to the realm of necromancy. You are a mage first, and a necromancer second.”

Matthew was startled for a moment.

Then nod to 177.

He knew that the tower spirit was giving him a friendly reminder, and he was probably afraid that after this undead natural disaster, he would accidentally go astray -

Objectively speaking.

Over-indulgence in areas of specialization is a common problem among mages.

This is not just a problem for the Necromancer family.

There are many other fields as well.

Mages in the field of enchantment can easily turn themselves into figure experts;

Mages in the realm of evocation also tend to be undecided when faced with problems, and use fireballs to clear the way;

Mages in the field of illusion are even more at risk of being addicted to the dreams they weave for themselves...

Path dependence is human nature.

Mages themselves also have needs for specialized fields.

But needs are needs.

It is true that you cannot set your sights and pursuits too tightly, otherwise it will affect your future upper limit.

Matthew plans to break out of the existing framework and try more spells after completing the balance between life and death.

As for the weapons master mentioned in 177.

He had silently remembered it in his mind, and went back to the spell library to find a copy.

Then Matthew talked with Tarling 177 about his recent experiences—

The focus is on Terraste's abnormal behavior and Ekmund's views on supernatural power.

After hearing this, 177 immediately retorted:

“Don’t listen to that guy Ekmund’s nonsense, he just stands and talks without pain in his back.”

"First of all, the concept and experiment of a world where all extraordinary powers disappear was not proposed by him. It was a great artificer in Cybertron who first proposed and designed the blueprint. Subsequently, other artificers and a few mages developed it. With participation, a semi-finished product was formed.”

“Secondly, Eckmund himself, as a vested interest in supernatural power, makes these remarks unconvincing.”

“You have to understand that he first has the power to be qualified to express such careless sighs.”

“To put it more bluntly, suppose there is a red button in the world. As long as you press the button, all the extraordinary powers in the world will return to zero. Guess who will press it?”

"Do you know?"

“Will Ekmund do it?”

The tone of 177 is quite strong.

Matthew chuckled and shook his head decisively.

Although what Ekmund said touched him, he was essentially a vested interest in the extraordinary power spoken by 177.

Returning to the ordinary is definitely not what he pursues.

“Isn’t that okay?”

177 yawned:

“Talking about this kind of topic has no meaning except to satisfy one’s own sense of spiritual justice.”

“If the button I just mentioned really exists, the only ones in the entire alliance who have the slightest chance of pressing it are Ms. Isabel and Mr. Wuming.”

“Others may have none at all.”

“Ekmund will probably choose to hide it or simply destroy it as soon as possible.”

Matthew looked curious:

“Why Isabel and Nameless?”

177 seems reasonable:

“Oh, that’s because both of them are not in a normal mental state.”

“Compared to this, the mental state of other mages is too normal.”

Matthew smiled in relief.

"As for Tyrast you mentioned, I think he may indeed have been affected by the Sword of Killing, but the root cause is probably that he has completely let go of his own restraint."

177 continues to talk:

“Elf is a creature with a very single element, and the characteristic of a creature composed of a single element is that it is easy to go to extremes.”

“In specific aspects, this race is either extremely stubborn and stubborn, and once the reins of stubbornness are loosened, they are very likely to become wanton and lawless.”

"Tarraste's performance is like voluntarily loosening the moral rope that restrains himself. He can only act based on his own beliefs now. If he loses even the last belief, he will be completely confused. Nowadays, even losing control is easy..."

Speaking of which.

177 paused for a moment, with a hint of emotion in his tone:

“Actually, I think he is a very courageous guy.”

Matthew nodded:

“To be able to reach this point, my determination is naturally extremely determined.”

“Do you think it’s possible for him to succeed?”

177 shook his head:

“I don’t know, there is no precedent for this kind of thing in history.”

"What do you think?"

Matthew muttered:

“I’m also not sure, but I’m not very optimistic about his future.”

“I can feel that with his killing spree in Jade Cangting, the will of nature has developed a strong dislike for him—for a wood elf, this is a very dangerous sign.”

177 shook his head and said:

“Then it’s over.”

“He may be not far away from divine punishment!”

"It's normal to say that in the judgment of natural will, killing one's own compatriots is an act of one plus one crime. If it were in ancient times when natural will was more active, he would probably be in bad luck by now."

"Even in this era, it is easy to be unlucky when encountering people who are hated by the natural will. Generally speaking, evil elements will often use the blessing of the opposite field to eliminate this influence, but Tyrast can't do it. He can only do it alone. One carries forward the malice of nature’s will.”

“Unless there is a higher level of will willing to open its arms to him to offset the negative impact of natural will...”

Hear this.

Matthew looked thoughtful.

Soul of the Heavenly Dragon?

Or is it the will to kill and destroy from the Eastern Continent?

But this is Irondor.

How valuable can the Apocalypse of the Eastern Continent be here?

Refer to what happened to King Mingtan and his men.

Matthew even suspected that the fundamental reason why Terraste encountered the disgust of natural will was precisely because of his unique revelation!

“Is there any other solution to a situation like Terraste’s?”

Matthew asked casually.

177 thought for a while:

"Of course there are ways. After all, people are dead and natural will is alive. There are always ways to fool them."

“Let me think about it…”

"The first type I have just mentioned is to find a stronger thigh to hold you, and directly ignore the disgust of natural will."

"The second method is to reduce one's dislike of Natural Will by forming an alliance with people recognized by Natural Will. However, doing so will drag down the latter's favor with Natural Will. I guess no one is willing to take advantage of him. .”

“There is a third way. This is the most suitable way for Tyrast now that I can think of—”

“That’s becoming a god!”

Matthew's eyes lit up and he motioned for Talling to continue speaking.

177 said impassionedly:

“Since he decided to shoulder the fate of the wood elves, why not become a **** in the body of a sword master?”

“First of all, he is qualified to become a god.”

“Secondly, the current alliance’s attitude towards gods has become much more ambiguous. He can definitely discuss it with the alliance, and maybe he can actually get a spot to become a god!”

“Third, after becoming a god, Thrast’s personality is almost equal to that of natural will, and the so-called divine punishment cannot occur.”

“Fourth, for the wood elves, what they lack is such a spiritual belief.

Tarast is bound to encounter setbacks when he promotes huge reforms as a mortal body.

But what if he became the **** of the wood elves?

As long as he can become a god.

Everything done before can be washed away.

Countless devout elf priests will appear overnight and take the initiative to compile the essence of his doctrine for him.

Even though the Path of Glory plan is essentially an exile, it can be interpreted as a test and experience from the gods! "

Matthew nodded repeatedly.

177 is worthy of being Ronan's tower spirit. He can definitely be said to be active in thinking and knowledgeable.

From Terraste’s point of view.

Being a **** is really the best solution right now!

As the odd number of days approaches, the rules set by the Scourge Mage are slowly becoming ineffective. As long as the support and permission of the Alliance can be obtained, the Elf God Tyrast is not an empty talk.

“It’s a pity that the little wood elf doesn’t have the level of vision of Uncle 177.”

“I guess he will fight to the end and suffer the curse of nature’s will silently. What a pity!”

177 looked like he was shaking his head and feeling sad.

Made him seem to be very concerned about the future of the wood elves.

The two chatted about Terraste for a while.

Matthew turned to ask:

“What has Lord Ronan been busy with recently?”

177 replied without thinking:

“It’s hanging in the sky.”

Matthew said strangely:

“Heaven?”

“Does it mean the moon?”

177 shook his head:

“It’s the East. Do you still remember the lights and shadows of the city floating above the endless ocean?”

Matthew nodded:

“There are rumors that it is the ruins on the clouds.”

177 explained:

“No, it’s a projection of a world from a lost history.”

"In the long river of time, some worlds will suddenly evaporate overnight, and these evaporated worlds are usually disturbed by some terrible supernatural power. Before and after those years, they will not stay. If you leave any trace, it will be like disappearing into thin air.”

“As long as it exists, it will leave clues.”

“Those lost historical worlds will form a projection in the material world at a certain moment.”

“This kind of projection world contains many treasures. It is a natural secret treasure for the mages, so the top leaders of the alliance, except Isabel and Wuming, all got into it.”

“Of course Ronan and his wife are no exception.”

Matthew suddenly understood.

No wonder there has been no senior management of the league recently.

It turns out that we downloaded the dungeon collectively!

Matthew showed a hint of heartbeat in his eyes.

But in an instant, he was hit mercilessly by 177:

"If you want to enter the lost historical world, you should first be promoted to a high-level legend."

“Existences below the level of upper legend are not eligible to enter.”

“Why else do you think I would be here chatting with you?” Matthew smiled helplessly.

The legendary status is still too far away from him, so he should take care of the things at hand first!

Then he prepared to leave.

Before leaving.

177 suddenly asked:

“Have you been to Cyber Dragon?”

Matthew shook his head.

177 proposed enthusiastically:

“You should really go and see it if you have time.”

“You can ask the Silver Council for a public visit. Cyberlon is a magical city. I think the future of humanity, and even the future of Irondor, is brewing there!”

Matthew looked at 177 with some surprise:

"I will."

“But why did you say that suddenly?”

177 lamented:

"I was recently invited to participate in a confidential project of Cybertron. Due to the principle of confidentiality, I cannot reveal the specific content of the project to you. I can only tell you that it is a very real game... so real that it is easy to make people feel... Can’t tell the difference between reality and fiction.”

“You should really check it out. If you have a chance, it’s best to get a test spot for that project.”

See 177 for such a grand and strong recommendation.

Matthew couldn’t help but nodded solemnly.

After leaving the Crucible House.

Matthew did not return to Jade Cangting, but came to Heisuo Mountain.

Hello to the busy and exhausted Hera.

He hurriedly came to the small dark room where Hux was.

　　It is still the same jailer who was responsible for leading the way last time.

After opening the door.

Matthew then handed the scroll that Setrunk had given him intact into Hex’s hand:

"It contains a detailed record of the cause of Lorraine Fangta's death. The results of Sen'er's personal investigation were obtained. I took a look and there should be nothing wrong with it."

Describes the haggard Hux calmly opened the scroll and read it carefully.

Half a minute later.

The old woman slowly raised her head:

“I can’t accept my son being hurt like this.”

“I hope to summon his spirit and prepare a resurrection ceremony.”

Matthew turned around and left.

He didn't want to get too deep into this matter.

Hex was once a legendary necromancer, and Matthew is still very wary of her.

Achieving this step is already close to his bottom line.

However, before Matthew could leave the door.

Hex’s voice came from behind:

“Do you want to know what happened to the Mark of the Dead back then?”

“Why do the elves hate White Rock City so much?”

“Do you know what kind of terrible things are buried under the area with serious marks of the dead?”

Matthew paused slightly, but did not turn around.

Hex’s old but powerful voice floated over immediately:

"I can assure you that the secrets I know are things that even the Alliance mages don't know. No matter Isabel, Lind, Suriel or Wuming, no one among them is an insider."

“Only three mages in the entire world know what happened when White Rock City took over the Mark of the Dead project.”

"Except for me, the other two necromancers have left Irondor long ago. I am not afraid to tell you their names - those two are Dania Nightmare and Dickens, the Pale King."

Matthew’s pupils shrank.

Dania Nightmare is the newly appointed mayor of White Rock City. She is the original owner of the rebellion-inspiring skill that Matthew previously acquired in the rainforest swamp. She is also a member of the Nightmare family, one of the three major families in White Rock City;

Dickens, the Pale King, is the previous lord of White Rock City. Like the current lord, he is a member of the Reitz family;

The Ms. Hex in front of Matthew is obviously from the Fangta family, the remaining one of the three major families.

But Matthew is not more concerned about this:

“Do you know who I am?”

At this moment, a cockroach crawled over from the corner of the wall.

Hex stretched out his trembling hand and let it crawl along the back of his hand to his ear.

Under Matthew's watchful eye.

The cockroach got into Hux's ear.

Then disappear.

Hex’s low laughter echoed in the small dark room:

“Thanks to these cute little animals, I can occasionally hear the wind outside.”

“From Tree Planter to Destroyer, your growth rate is amazing.”

“I haven’t seen a necromancer as good as you in many years.”

Hex's tone was full of emotion.

Matthew could also feel the pure appreciation in her eyes as she looked at him.

But even so.

He did not waver easily.

He just replied calmly:

"you are wrong."

“Besides you, I also know what’s under the Gray Lake.”

In Hux's slightly surprised eyes.

Matthew confidently replied:

“The sleeping five-clawed dragon soul and the killing sword, am I right?”

Hex asked in surprise:

“Have you cracked the mystery of Ashes?”

"This is impossible!"

“With your ability, how did you defeat the power of the void?”

Matthew smiled and said nothing.

This makes his figure appear enigmatic—

He can't tell Hux that he and Void are a family, right?

See the situation.

Hex’s voice became a little dull:

“I underestimated your ability.”

“Without the help of human desire chains, you actually peeked into what lies beneath the Gray Lake.”

"But you should be interested in what happened that year, which may be helpful for your next actions."

　　Even if you want to leave.

But Matthew also had to admit that he was indeed very interested in what the group of necromancers from White Rock City did back then.

He knows very well that he cannot follow the opponent's rhythm.

So he opened his mouth and said:

"Your son cannot be resurrected, and I will not summon his soul."

“But I will try to contact his wife Ai Xue. The last time we met, Ai Xue was already trying to find Lorraine’s ghost. Maybe she has already found it, or has some clues?”

“I can help you contact Ai Xue, but you must tell me what your White Rock City has done on the Trace of the Dead project.”

Hex was silent for a moment.

Soon she warned:

“You can contact Ai Xue.”

“But don’t believe her, don’t believe any young and beautiful woman!”

“This is something children your age need to be aware of all the time!”

Matthew asked with great interest:

"Why?"

Hex said flatly:

“Because I was young and beautiful too.”

Matthew shrugged:

“Don’t worry, I will be wary of Ai Xue.”
