A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 438: Tauren Lord: New target for invasion!

Chapter 438: The Lord of the Tauren: New Invasion Target!

…

Western part of the Magic District.

On the empty street, Matthew walked steadily towards the leaning tower.

It is said that this tower played an important role in the era of the Troll Empire.

Only magicians who have won the highest honor are eligible to live in this leaning tower.

There is even a mysterious rumor.

It is said that the leaning tower itself is a product of magic——

“Create miracles with earthly hands.”

This was also a motto that magicians of that era would follow as their creed.

From the appearance point of view.

The Leaning Tower also has a unique temperament that becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at it.

However, Matthew obviously has no intention of appreciating this art at the moment.

“Being targeted…”

Ten minutes ago.

The feeling like a ray on his back kept stimulating his nerves.

soon.

Matthew found a deeply hidden phase hound in a dark corner not far away.

The other party's eyes were ferocious, but he did not attack Matthew. He just barked from a distance and then disappeared into the shadows.

After that.

From time to time, a phase hound will appear next to him.

The eyes of these hounds are quite terrifying, as if they are possessed by evil spirits. Even if they take a look at them, the deep hatred contained in their eyes will arouse chills in their hearts.

Appeared together with the hounds.

There is also the mental pressure of being peeped at all the time.

At first Matthew thought that the legendary archer was going to attack him.

However, he had been on guard for a long time.

The other party never showed any trace.

Matthew quickly reacted—

This is Li Ang’s psychological tactic!

at the same time.

　　New news also came from the data column.

…

Hint: You are targeted by Dawn Star Leon’s prey mark!

Prey mark: Within a range of fifteen kilometers, Li Ang can see your position and outline through all conventional buildings.

At the same time, all his locking skills can also lock on you!

While being marked, the legendary archer Li Ang will cause you an additional 100% normal damage and a small amount of fatal damage! "

…

Matthew frowned.

As a legendary archer, Li Ang has the ability to strike at super long distances.

This initiative gives him the opportunity to apply pressure from a distance.

He just needs to be a little more hostile.

Matthew will sense it and respond subconsciously. Coupled with the intensification of prey markings, Matthew will be in a high-pressure state for a long time!

However, it has been a long time.

As long as Li Ang holds back.

Sooner or later Matthew will fall into his trap—

Either you relax your vigilance and get hit by the opponent;

Either the nerves are close to collapse under long-term tension, which is also a very bad result.

Even Matthew had to admit it.

This psychological tactic combined with the phase hound's super mobility makes him a bit passive.

These hounds have a strong ability to escape and have near-perfect stealth capabilities.

Peggy and Abing took action one after another, trying to catch these elusive lurkers, but the best result was that they only injured the tail of a phase hound—

no way.

This is the racial talent of phase creatures. As long as they are not warlike, it will be difficult for others to keep them.

As the masters of these hounds.

Leon showed a cunning and meticulous psychological quality.

The frequency of these hounds appearing is so subtle that they can always stimulate Matthew's defensive nerves without leaving any clues for him to be tracked back.

“Arrogance is not without reason…”

“He is indeed a powerful character.”

Matthew gave his opponent a very high evaluation in his heart.

For the profession of archer.

The right to take the initiative under normal circumstances is very important. If you can make a sneak attack, you will definitely make a sneak attack.

But Li Ang did not do this.

This shows that the other party has a deep enough understanding of this battle—

He was clearly aware that his one blow might not be able to kill Matthew instantly, and if he easily exposed his position, he might be chased by Matthew in turn.

He gave up the right of initiative.

Instead, this long-term pressure plan can give Matthew the greatest mental pressure.

At present.

This strategy works.

Matthew was indeed made a little uncomfortable.

In the process of being tracked.

He also tried selling holes—

for example.

Matthew directly asked Peggy and A Bing to leave him and pretended to search for something.

And I walked around on the street for a long time.

However even so.

Li Ang still did not take action.

He was not moved by Matthew's flaw and still stuck to his hunting rhythm.

After confirming this.

Matthew quickly adjusted his mentality, and the remaining anger disappeared.

The reason is also very simple.

The opponent is strong enough and he must maintain maximum composure.

“This Li Ang is arrogant on the surface, but extremely cautious and careful in actual combat performance. This shows that the arrogance and arrogance he displays are just a carefully maintained personality.”

“The purpose is to make people become careless and think that the opponent they are facing is a guy with eyes above his head, but this is not the case.”

“This guy is as meticulous as a hair, good at games, and full of determination. No wonder he can become a rare legendary archer...”

Matthew appreciated Li Ang even more.

However, appreciation is appreciation.

The two sides are enemies after all. After several unsuccessful fishing attempts, Matthew decisively adopted another strategy -

That is to run away directly!

That’s right.

In this stalemate situation where the other party has the initiative, it is very difficult to passively counterattack in the face of long-term pressure.

Limited by attack distance and hiding methods.

Legendary Mage is actually vaguely restrained by Legendary Archer.

But the other way around.

As long as Matthew doesn’t have the murderous intention.

He can definitely get rid of the opponent in many ways -

Hiding yourself will limit your mobility!

But Matthew had no such concerns.

He swaggeringly opened three random doors on the street and walked in without taking any protective measures.

Then he opened a period of flying skills.

Flying towards the direction of the Leaning Tower at an extremely fast speed.

“You haven’t done anything yet?”

“Then I’ll really leave…”

Perceiving the vague murderous intention behind him, a mocking smile appeared on Matthew's face.

He knew that Li Ang was looking at him with all his attention.

So he turned around and made a very obscene gesture, and then swaggered away from the center of the street.

However even so.

Li Ang still did not take action.

Matthew walked half the street, and the murderous intention behind him gradually faded away.

But he did not relax.

On the one hand, it is very likely that the opponent has withdrawn the prey mark on itself to paralyze itself, and may make a sneak attack at any time.

on the other hand.

It was because a group of tall figures suddenly appeared on the other side of the street.

The faces of these figures are familiar.

They were the trolls who had just met in the morning.

Matthew speculated on their direction, and his face gradually became strange. It seemed that they were also heading west?

“See you again, Mr. Matthew?”

Anne Salvins came over to say hello with a smile on her face.

obviously.

She was not very surprised by her encounter with Matthew.

Matthew went up to say hello naturally.

But at this time.

A sharp whistling sound exploded in his ears—

Two bright red dots appeared in his perception.

One of them is close by.

The other one is in a three-story building two streets away on his right!

It’s Li Ang, the star of the dawn!

And his dimensional gravity arrow!

"finally come!"

that moment.

Matthew’s whole body was stiff and his nerves were extremely tense—

The cunning archer detonated the "prey mark" at that moment, causing the target to freeze slightly.

Although Matthew's toughness is not low and he has divine protection, he didn't stay stiff for long.

Can be used for dimensional gravity arrows.

This moment of stiffness is fatal!

"no solution anymore…"

Matthew is planning to use the "Undead Stand" again to avoid damage. He doesn't dare to gamble with his "immortal body". Theoretically, it is possible for a gravity arrow to instantly kill a life in the ghost state!

However, a surprising scene occurred.

At the critical moment.

Troll Princess Anne suddenly stepped forward and took out the battle ax in her hand, wanting to catch the arrow for Matthew.

But there is someone faster than her!

Whoosh!

A yellow light flashed as fast as dodge, followed by a slight explosion, but a tall figure stood up and blocked Matthew and Anne.

He held a strange dagger in his hand, and the dagger cut off the dimensional gravity arrow in an instant!

"snort!"

Matthew’s ears could faintly hear the cold snort of the legendary archer.

The next second.

The gravity arrow's arrow rotated violently and separated from the broken arrow body. The remaining part rotated at high speed and circled away towards Matthew.

Snapped!

A big hand with long blue-gray hair clapped over from the side.

Just once.

He grabbed the arrowhead with his bare hands—

boom!

There was a slight muffled sound.

The explosion of the gravity arrow caused slight fluctuations in the nearby space, but the big blue-grey hand was unscathed!

Matthew looked up in shock.

That big blue-gray hand and the strange dagger are actually owned by the same person——

“Holiday! You are so good!”

Anne praised happily.

An ugly smile appeared on Holiday's face:

"hey-hey…"

"This is what I should do. No one can hurt you under my eyes, my princess."

Then he glanced at Matthew coldly:

“I’m not trying to save you, Necromancer.”

“But if you care about this kindness, please return Princess Richie’s soul to us..."

Speaking of which.

He paused suddenly, his tone a little unnatural:

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

Matthew smiled, knowing that he had looked a little too hard just now.

no way.

It was mainly the superb interception skills of Troll Warrior Holiday that won Matthew's respect and recognition.

Chasing the subtleties of knowledge is the basic skill of every mage.

This detail is enough to prove that Holiday is somewhat real.

“I’m just surprised by what you did just now.”

“I was already prepared to use a substitute spell to avoid the damage of that arrow.”

Matthew answered truthfully.

He did not hide his appreciation for Holiday, but at the same time he also secretly reminded him that even without him, the arrow would not be able to do anything to him.

obviously.

The Troll Warrior's thoughts were not that deep. He did not figure out the hidden meaning of the second sentence at all. Instead, he was somewhat proud of the praise of the first sentence:

“It’s good to know that I’m good!” “Hmph…”

“The strongest life hunter in Kuinan Forest is no joke!”

Matthew smiled slightly.

The trolls seem to be quite simple-minded.

He likes to deal with this kind of people. He is much better than those old foxes like Sener and Terrast!

At this time.

The authority of the Lord of the Minotaurs once again heard a slight movement!

…

Hint: You have triggered the new promotion route of "Authority-Tauren Lord"!

Your mission "Stronger Aggression" adds a new invadeable target "Life Hunter Warrior Holiday"!

If you can take Holiday under your wing and make him loyal to you wholeheartedly, you will gain three times the benefits of the other two invadeable targets.

also.

You will get a random new domain ability (Tauren)! "

…

Good guy.

At this time, Ricky, Annie, and Holiday have all become Matthew's potential targets!

“As expected of a tauren with authority, he certainly has no moral integrity.”

Matthew was secretly glad.

Fortunately, we don’t have to take Holiday into the harem, otherwise this task would really be impossible!

At present.

Compared to bringing Ricky and Annie into the harem at the same time, conquering Holiday seems to be a better choice.

Thinking of this.

Matthew's eyes looked at Holiday with a bit more salivation.

Holiday was so frightened by him that he subconsciously took half a step back, and then angrily shouted:

“Hey, Necromancer, what are you doing?!”

The atmosphere is a little awkward.

Fortunately, Anne stood up at this time. She pointed to the three-story building and asked:

“That’s an archer, why did he attack you?”

Matthew explained:

“That’s Dawn Star Leon, he’s with the legendary summoner Little Ingram.”

"I had no conflict with them at first, but when my companions and I first arrived outside the city, they ambushed us, and we had a rift from then on."

“This group of people is very domineering. Little Ingram allowed the elemental beings to occupy half of the magic area, and Li Ang has been secretly tracking me...”

An angry look immediately appeared on Anne’s face:

“Is it the summoner with the elemental army and the black dragon army?”

“Were you also ambushed by them?”

Matthew nodded slightly.

"So are we!"

Anne made no secret of her hostility towards young Ingram and his party:

“As soon as we arrived in this city, we ran into them. It was obvious that they had the idea of ambush us, but they gave up in the end because we were outnumbered.”

“They asked us a few questions, but after we refused to answer, they left with a few harsh words.”

"This morning, when we went to the Magic Zone, we also met with an elemental elder. The other party directly threatened us that if we did not withdraw from the Magic Zone, they would start a war with us. Out of caution, we temporarily withdrew. …”

Matthew asked:

“So you haven’t met little Ingram himself today, or Ordesia, the mother of the black dragon?”

Anne shook her head:

“It’s just because we didn’t see the two of them that we didn’t dare to take action rashly. Who knows where they are hiding and what bad intentions they have?”

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

Don't look at him now standing with the trolls chatting and laughing happily.

But his wariness against the trolls has not diminished at all—

Matthew noticed it when they first met.

Anne was not surprised to meet herself in this place.

This shows that the other party is very likely to be tracking you.

At the end of the day.

They are still here for Ricky.

Matthew immediately wanted to leave.

But Anne obviously didn’t want to let him go just like that. She smiled and said:

“Since we have all suffered from little Ingram, how about we temporarily unite and fight against them together?”

“Putting the matter of Ricky aside for now, I just need to confirm that she is still alive - I don’t even need you to show it, as long as I stand next to you, I can feel her current state.”

“In order to show my sincerity in cooperation, I will take you to a safe house in the city now—

It will get dark soon.

Although the nights in the ancient city of Krafa are short, only four hours, every night, the resentful spirits incarnated by our ancestors will become extremely boiling, and they will attack all living creatures regardless of friend or foe.

If there is no safe place to stay.

The nights are going to be very difficult…”

Safe house?

Hearing this word, Matthew couldn't help but look strange.

Anne looks confident:

"You should know that this city was built by the Troll Empire. Although there are big gaps in our inheritance, the Salvins family still holds a lot of secret information that you foreigners cannot know."

“After all, all of us know very well that there is only one purpose for coming here, and that is to find the legendary artifact Lost Paradise!”

"And the Lost Paradise has been preserved in the hands of our troll family for a long time in the world."

“Cooperating with us is a very beneficial thing for you.”

"If you are still hesitating, I can tell you the location of the safe house now..."

As she spoke, her eyes moved forward involuntarily.

Matthew immediately interrupted:

“Isn’t the safe house you mentioned also located on the thirteenth underground floor of the Leaning Tower?”

Anne was shocked:

"How did you know?"

Matthew smiled slightly:

“It seems that the artificers of Cyber Dragon also like to bet long.”

“Let’s go, let’s go to the safe house and have a look.”

Anne had a strange look in her eyes, and finally nodded.

The group of people left the main road.

Walking towards the Great Leaning Tower.

As for Dawn Star Li Ang, after the arrow failed just now, the opponent's aura was exposed and it was transferred immediately.

Matthew was not sure whether the other party would continue to follow him.

But in the case of night.

It can become very unsafe to travel alone.

What's more, Matthew is surrounded by trolls and other companions who are coming soon.

He was actually looking forward to Li Ang taking another risk.

As long as he dares to expose his breath again.

Matthew, who has arranged the venue in advance, will let the opponent experience the power of the mage.

So on the way to the Leaning Tower.

Matthew chatted with Anne as he moved forward.

But Peggy and A Bing had already taken his orders and started to act separately——

With the efforts of two legendary undead.

rats, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, poisonous frogs, vipers, wasps, scorpions…

A large number of poisonous plagues are scattered on several streets near the Leaning Tower.

besides.

And the mushrooms Matthew got from Dudley—

These mushrooms have the ability to become invisible and can move within a small range within a specific area.

Can function similar to phase hounds.

It's important.

These mushrooms have a lot of spores on them.

As long as Li Ang is contaminated.

Matthew, who possesses the Spore Domain, can hunt him to the ends of the earth!

At that time, the positions of both parties will be reversed.

Matthew will make him understand what the cruelty of a necromancer is!

Not long.

They arrived at the gate of the Leaning Tower.

This tall tower, respectfully called the "Tower of Magic" or "Tower of Miracles" by the trolls, looks very skewed from the outside, but when you walk in, it gives people a boxy and quite upright feeling. .

Under the protection of some mysterious power.

The Tower of Magic is well preserved. After entering the hall, Matthew lit a few mage fires and immediately gained a large bright field of vision.

What surprised him a little.

The companions did not finish the paddling work as early as they expected, and were waiting for their arrival here.

also.

He didn't sense Sen'er's breath either.

Matthew glanced outside. It was almost dusk, and it would be dark in half an hour at most. They wouldn't encounter any accidents, right?

But then I thought about it.

The old foxes can only paddle when fighting, but their escape skills are probably better than the others. The only one who needs to worry is the upright orc female swordsman Claire.

Judging from other people’s perspective, I’m afraid even if something happens to Matthew, nothing will happen to them!

In the midst of thoughts.

He and Anne coincidentally found the elevator hidden in the northeast corner of the hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower.

After starting the lift.

Amid a mechanical roar, the elevator slowly descended into the dark underground—

The underground space of the Magic Tower seems to be quite complicated.

But there are only three underground platforms that the elevator can access, namely the eighth underground floor, the thirteenth underground floor and the twenty-ninth underground floor.

The rest of the floors are in a sealed state.

Some floors even have signs similar to heavy firepower.

Considering that this is the artificer's territory.

Matthew suddenly had some concerns about the nature of the "safe house".

“If it’s an artificer, it seems reasonable to plant some bombs under the safe house?”

“Isn’t it possible that bombs are the only way to make them feel safe?”

The elevator descends very slowly.

Matthew simply chatted with Anne about the history of Twin Paradise.

“I was told that the Twin Heavens fell at the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment.”

“There is also another theory that the Twin Heavens were destroyed during the Dark Ages.”

“Which statement is correct?”

Anne replied cheerfully:

“Actually, both statements are correct.”

“There were two periods in the history of Irondor where twin heavens existed, and they both symbolized the supreme power of the heavens.”

“According to the oral tradition of the Salvins, the original Twin Heavens were created by the twin ancient gods of light and darkness during the so-called Dark Ages.”

“Of course, that was the dark age for you humans, and for the trolls, it was the best “primitive age.” "

"We believe that the Ancient God of Light and Darkness who created the twin heavens in the original era is actually the two sides of the God Pur. In order to separate the contradictions and conflicts in his body, the great God Pur differentiated into the Ancient God of Light and Darkness, and then led Irondor The original native creations fought fiercely against the outer gods led by the dusk creations.”

“The result of the struggle was a tragic victory for the **** Pur. Some of the dusk creations were beaten away and some were sealed. Most of the extraterrestrial evil gods were killed.”

"But in that long war, the energy of the **** Purtian was severely damaged, and the Twin Heavens were also knocked into dust. As a high-energy, high-dimensional world formed in the early days of the Ain multiverse, the Twin Heavens separated four of the most important ones when they fell. The parts are -

　　Primary Kingdom of Heaven;

River without roots;

Paradise Lost;

And the shadow of higher dimensions. "

Speaking of which.

Anne paused and continued to explain:

“The original heaven inherited the outlines of the twin heavens, which wandered into the astral world and were acquired by the minions of the outer gods.”

“The rootless river captured a considerable amount of high-dimensional matter, and eventually became an extremely transcendent secret realm in the universe.”

“The shadow of higher dimensions is the reverse projection of the twin heavens in a higher dimension. It was lost under the bridge of all beings and was not discovered for a long time.

Approximately in the early days of the Enlightenment Age, it was discovered by the gods headed by the sun **** Gerald.

Gerald used the Shadow of High Dimension as a model and worked with other gods to create the current Tianlun Palace. "

“Since then, the severely damaged God Pur felt the powerlessness of fighting alone, and he began to support all living beings on the earth, including trolls, elves, humans and other species that are still active on this continent.”

“And as the race most favored by the gods, the trolls deserve to gain Paradise Lost.”

“Unfortunately, the rise and fall of the universe is an eternal law. The gods eventually fell, the empire fell apart, and the lost paradise returned to this ancient city under the seal of the ancestors.”

“After that came the Age of Enlightenment in human history.”

“At that time, the Salvins family had declined, and there were not many records left by their ancestors. We only know that the era was still very chaotic.”

“The ancient gods left over from the original paradise period, the gods of faith who came out of Carmela Fortress, as well as the dusk creations, dark ancient gods and extraterrestrial evil gods who have made a comeback, they are fighting fiercely on this continent.”

“At a certain period, the evil gods from outside the territory gained the upper hand. They used the original heaven that was wandering in the New Territories to create a new twin heaven, and for a time seized the twin heaven as the supreme function of the heaven.”

“Then there were more chaotic battles, and rivers of blood flowed everywhere on the earth, sky and ocean. The ancient gods fell one after another, and the outer gods who were so prosperous in the early stage were also hit hard by an unexpected incident.”

“After that, Twin Heaven completely fell into the astral realm, forming the ruins of Twin Heaven you can see now.”

“It was also during those battles that the familiar names of today’s Talun Palace stood at the pinnacle of the times—

Ye Li, the goddess of magic;

Gerard, the sun god;

The first-generation God of War and the second-generation God of War Vasnov;

The second destruction of Twin Heaven marked the rise of Tianlun Palace.

over a long period of time.

This continent is dominated by belief in gods.

But like I said before.

The rise and fall of the universe is an eternal law.

it is known.

Tianlun Palace is about to be destroyed.
