A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 457 The Golden Ship and Divine Weapons

 …

 “I will not allow anyone to become a **** under my eyes!”

Isabel’s voice was decisive.

Her eyes that seemed to contain fire looked directly into Matthew's eyes, as if they penetrated his heart at that moment!

 Matthew's breath hitched.

 His brain was running rapidly.

Understood.

 Causes and consequences…

 The reason why the divine mages dared to enter the disappearing historical world with confidence without worrying about someone taking the opportunity to become a **** is because they quietly reached an agreement with Stuluk Industries!

 Matthew had a bitter taste in his mouth.

 Fortunately, he was worried at the beginning that someone becoming a **** would be detrimental to the alliance.

Honestly, I am not qualified to know this level of information.

certainly.

Matthew didn’t have too many complaints. It was reasonable for Isabel to leave such a backup.

in a sense.

Matthew also gave up the decision to become the God King at the last moment.

This is probably the important reason why Isabel is still willing to meet her after half a year -

 Matthew is very clear-headed.

 Suppose you are really completely thrown into the cold palace, or even exiled.

It is impossible for this arrogant divine mage to take the time to talk to himself.

 For Matthew.

As long as you can see Isabel, no matter whether the other party scolds her or directly slaps her with a whip, the result will be good!

 He felt a hint of joy in his heart.

 But think about it for a moment.

Matthew did not express this joy, but showed a slight look of dissatisfaction.

 He quickly lowered his head, as if trying to hide the change in his expression.

 “Are you still a little dissatisfied?”

Isabel sneered.

Matthew shook his head expressionlessly:

 “I am willing to obey all arrangements of the alliance.”

Isabel snorted coldly.

 The next second.

 She suddenly appeared in front of Matthew.

 She raised Matthew's chin with one hand, her gray eyes shining like the deep starry sky:

 “You are angry and unwilling.”

"Ah…"

 “You even want to defeat me?”

 Matthew said nothing.

Isabel’s tone became more severe:

"explain!"

“Have you ever had that thought in your mind just now?”

Matthew pursed his lips.

 Finally, his teeth chattered and he said:

 “I can’t say that I’ve never had that thought…”

This statement seems euphemistic.

 It’s actually straightforward enough.

Isabel pulled away her hand, a cold look flashed in her eyes:

"very good."

 “I like your ambition.”

“But if you want to realize your ambitions, you can’t just talk about it, you must have absolute actions and strength!”

The voice fell.

 Matthew suddenly felt a pain in his side!

　　followed by.

 More pain flooded into his mind.

 He ​​looked down and found a wound on his waist and abdomen. The wound was healing at an extremely fast speed, but something inside was missing!

Matthew looked up in astonishment.

But he saw that Isabel had returned to the original place, and she was holding a **** rib in her hand and playing with it repeatedly.

 “This rib and the ban over the past six months are a small punishment for your ambition.”

"I said, I like your ambition, but your strength must match it."

"Just keep this rib with me. When you can really defeat me one day, you can take it back..."

 Isabel's face was filled with a sarcastic smile.

Matthew subconsciously covered his abdomen.

 His eyes flashed with just the right amount of anger.

finally.

 He just lowered his head silently and said nothing.

 But deep down, he spoke highly of his acting skills.

“Just losing a rib is a pitiful punishment.”

 “The atmosphere is almost the same.”

 “It’s time to give a favor…”

Matthew thought to himself.

as expected.

 The next second.

Isabel folded her ribs and said calmly:

"The past is in the past, I will not mention it again, and no one in the alliance will mention it again. You are still the most promising young mage in the south."

 “Starting today, all your resources and rights in the alliance will be restored.”

“The Silver Council has submitted the project settlement list for the Scar of the Dead to me. You have done a good job.”

"In addition to the established bonus, you can also choose a heritage weapon, or a legendary spell book from the Feast Hostel. You can negotiate with the Silver Council for the specific content. I have already said hello, and they can cash it in at any time. These rewards.”

Matthew quickly bowed his head and thanked him.

 Isabel continued without pausing:

“Second, your previously submitted application for entering the Arcane Castle has also been approved.”

“It is valid for three months. During this period, you can enter it at any time to improve the quality of your spells, make up for your spell deficiencies, or try to develop new signature spells.”

“My suggestion is that before officially entering the castle, you’d better find someone to make up for your weak spells—

 If you feel this is too time consuming.

 You can also go to Suriel.

 But the prerequisite is that you have enough money. "

 Matthew nodded repeatedly.

"Thanks."

 He said with sincere gratitude.

 Isabel shook her head:

  “No need.”

"This is what you deserve."

 “The prerequisite is to be a mage.”

Matthew smiled in surprise.

Isabel is really a mage supremacist.

 Matthew can feel it.

 She is probably the most dedicated divine mage to maintain the order of the existing alliance.

 I don’t know if this tendency is related to the influence of the Scourge Mage.

So far.

 The big stone in Matthew's heart has completely fallen to the ground.

I came here to see Isabel. I just paid a rib to unlock the identity of the alliance, redeem the reward of the Mark of the Dead, and received the good news that the Arcane Castle has been approved.

to him.

 All this is surprising enough.

However, after saying this, Isabel did not seem to have any intention of issuing an eviction order.

This surprised Matthew a little.

 He thought about it in his mind.

 According to Isabel's style of explaining things, what she says at the end is often the most important thing.

 What else does she have to explain?

Matthew waited quietly.

 Intuition told him.

What Isabel is going to say next may have something to do with their experiences in the disappeared historical world.

 But the waiting time this time was obviously longer than expected.

 Five minutes later.

 Isabel remained silent.

Matthew found that her eyes were dull and she looked like she was in a trance.

 So he coughed slightly.

"Um?"

 “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Isabel's blank eyes regained some focus.

Matthew was speechless.

However, he still behaved respectfully:

 “Then shall I leave now?”

"etc!"

 Isabel suddenly stopped him:

"never mind."

 “This opportunity is still given to you.”

"If you can hand over one million gold coins, or the equivalent value of materials and magic media - especially fine wood - within the next year, then you will be eligible to become the first batch of participants in the Golden Ship Project By."

“But I can’t reveal any more information to you until you obtain formal qualifications.”

"I can only tell you that the golden ship will set sail in three years. As for the destination...hehe, you can guess it yourself or ask about it."

 Matthew’s eyes were full of surprise.

 Not because of the number one million, but because Isabel actually became a riddle in a rare way!

To know.

Most of the time, she speaks directly and rarely hides anything!

Even she can’t speak openly about the incident...

How deep is the water here?

 What surprised Matthew even more was the golden ship plan!

 Could it be that the rumors circulating in the past six months are actually true?

  Matthew had always thought that was nonsense...

 “I am willing to pay one million gold coins.”

Matthew immediately expressed his opinion.

 Then he boldly asked:

 “Iondo...is it really going to be completely broken?”

Isabel replied:

 “That’s not necessarily true.”

“The degree of harm caused by the first round of natural disasters in odd-numbered days is lighter than we expected.”

“The fall of Tianlun Palace indeed caused a serious tear. In the past six months, void turbulence and astral matter took advantage of the void and caused many disasters and turmoil.”

“But starting from the last month, we have observed that more and more secondary planes are actively integrating into those torn gaps—

 For the Lesser Planes, this is the perfect time for promotion.

 For the main material world, this is also the only way to repair itself.

 This is a self-rescue measure for the world of Irondor.

 From a macro perspective, the disaster caused by the Great Rip has been effectively controlled. It has only recurred in some areas, but it is also under our control..."

“The bigger crisis is actually the unprecedented chaotic storm caused by tearing, integration and invasion.”

Chaos storm?

 Matthew read the word again.

 Isabel nodded:

"right."

“The lifeblood of the development of the multiverse originally depends on the game of order and chaos.”

“Frequent chaotic storms in various places will intensify the breakdown of order, causing the next round of disasters to become more serious on odd days.”

Matthew quickly asked:

“How many rounds of disasters will there be in odd-numbered days?”

 “Which is the first round and which is the second round?”

Isabel said calmly:

 “In fact, there is no unified and clear definition to explain your problem.”

“Odd-numbered celestial changes are essentially the inevitable result of the infinite expansion of the multiverse. The fall of Tianlun Palace and the return of the five-clawed celestial dragon are just the triggers.”

 “It is a collection of disasters.”

“Generally speaking, whichever disaster occurs first is the first batch, and the disaster that occurs later is the second batch…”

"Currently, the negative impact of the fall of Tianlun Palace is being gradually eliminated, but the second round of disasters is brewing at an extremely fast speed. According to my judgment, the next disaster that will affect the world should be caused by the flooding of ether. Mana expansion."

 Mana expansion?

 Matthew looked confused.

Having been blocked for more than half a year, he found that he couldn't keep up with the latest progress of the alliance!

 Isabel was surprisingly patient today and actually explained to him in detail:

“The aether itself is one of the most chaotic elements in the multiverse.”

“The era of chaos and the proliferation of ether almost coincide with each other.”

“During this period, because the ether in the external environment will expand violently, it will become much easier for almost everyone to sense the ether, and those who can already use magic will also become more powerful.”

“To put it bluntly, there will be ten times or even a hundred times the original population, who can perform magic in the era of ether flooding and become the most basic magic apprentices.”

“A mage who was only level 5 before is very likely to suddenly jump to level 8 or even level 9 after the aether flood.”

“Everyone’s magic power is expanding. In comparison, the expansion coefficient of legendary and above mages is not as exaggerated as that of ordinary people. This may narrow the strength gap within the mage group in disguise.”

 “But that’s not the point.”

“Human beings, or intelligent life, have never been the best receptors for ether.”

“The monsters in the abyss and purgatory and the star beasts in the astral world are the best places for the flooding ether.”

“More and more monsters will appear in this world from now on.”

“They will create more chaos, which will lead to more flooding of the aether.”

“Aether and chaos enter a cycle of infinite expansion, which will eventually cause the purge mechanism in the multiverse to be triggered, and more powerful creatures will emerge from the womb of the universe.”

“At that time, the beast will truly come.”

 “You asked me earlier, will Irondor be broken?”

“My answer is, absolutely not before the beast comes; after it comes, it is inevitable.”

 Speaking of which.

 She suddenly looked deeply at Matthew.

“The only way to prevent or delay that day is to establish order and reduce chaos.”

she says.

Matthew muttered:

 “You mean to stop the killing?”

Isabel shook her head, with a strange light shining in her eyes:

"No."

“I mean kill them faster than they can be born.”

“Kill all the monsters and enemies that can cause chaos in a very short period of time.”

 “This is the best way to establish order!”

 …

 Long after leaving the Crucible House.

Matthew was still thinking about the meaning of what Isabel had just said.

 If it is just to kill to stop chaos.

Then why doesn’t she do it herself?

Even if it is inconvenient for her, Ronan, Ekmund, Suriel, Linde...

Which of these high-ranking officials in the alliance is not a murderer with countless dead souls in his hands?

 Isabel's words.

 As if encouraging Matthew to do this.

 This made him inevitably think too much.

“Teacher also mentioned before that the integration of the secondary plane into the main material world is the self-save of the universe, so establishing order should also be a tendency that is in line with the will of the universe.”

“Going in this direction, as long as the means are quick and straightforward, there doesn’t seem to be much harm, it just requires enough strength and courage...”

 Walking on the path between cemeteries.

Matthew thought quietly.

In general.

Matthew gained a lot from this meeting with Isabel.

the most important is.

 “She probably didn’t discover the existence of Paradise Lost.”

“It is indeed a gift from the natural disaster mage, even the top divine mages have hidden it.”

Matthew’s heart was filled with joy and awe.

Looking at it now.

The Scourge Mage most likely had foreseen that cannon, so he gave the five of them a small gift in advance—

 That is the fire of life that remains in Paradise Lost.

 Even if Paradise Lost is destroyed.

It can also be resurrected in the mysterious zone of high-energy and high-dimensional space.

in other words.

 Even though Matthew did not leave Paradise Lost at the last moment.

 The five of them will be resurrected in Paradise Lost one after another, and truly become the ancient gods who control the power of law.

 But let Matthew choose again.

 He will leave without hesitation.

 After all, it must feel uncomfortable to be blown to pieces by a cannon.

 “The information should remain confidential.”

"The gods chosen at the beginning did not enter the Lost Paradise in real physical bodies. What they entered was just a projection with a spiritual imprint. With the destruction of Lost Paradise, the connection between the gods and the main **** also disappeared. "

“These guys who once had hopes of becoming gods have become evidence of the fall of Paradise Lost.”

"But they are probably very happy that they escaped..."

 Matthew has already checked with Lorraine.

Most people of God have the same view as everyone else, that Paradise Lost has completely fallen.

Only a very few people stubbornly believe that their main **** is not dead.

 But these people hid themselves very well after the incident.

 Especially after the mages came over. They become more and more invisible.

 Hence, after the entire Paradise Lost incident, Matthew became one of the few people who experienced it.

 What he declared to the outside world was that Paradise Lost had been completely destroyed.

 Because of his behavior of jumping out of the car at the last moment.

 Everyone believed what he said.

 Not long ago.

 Even such news spread -

“Matthew left Paradise Lost at the most critical moment because he foresaw the disaster that would follow;

 The reason why the Singularity Cannon can accurately hit Lost Paradise is also thanks to Matthew.

 He is the internal agent placed in the God-Being Team by the Alliance of Seven Saints and Stuluk Industries! "

 After hearing the news.

Matthew couldn’t wait to find the person who spread the rumor and give him a cash reward!

“Now that I have officially returned to the Alliance, I can once again confirm the authenticity of this rumor.”

“In this way, the nature of the Paradise Lost incident should have been completely determined.”

“Except for a handful of fanatics, no one will pay attention to my hometown anymore…”

 In the midst of thoughts.

Matthew came to the small dark room he was most familiar with.

 He pushed open the door and entered.

　　Activate the secret enchantment.

 After checking again and again.

 Just then I thought silently in my heart——

 “Return, Paradise Lost!”

 …

  Hint: You have returned to the artifact "Paradise Lost (Soul Binding.

 Existing substances—

 Light (infinite);

  Water without source (several);

 Cosmic Bedrock*180;

 Oak trees*59;

other…

 Hint: Paradise Lost is going through the initial stage of "creating the world", which is expected to last 400 to 500 years.

During this period.

Your God-King authority is solidified into the “authority of the founder.”

  Founder's authority: You can consume your own or Paradise Lost's energy to create matter out of thin air.

 After Paradise Lost fully matures and is promoted to the new heaven, the founder’s authority will be restored to the “god-king authority”.

 Current founding energy: 296 points. "

 …

The scene in front of my eyes changed.

Matthew then came to a lost paradise filled with infinite warm sunlight and suspended pieces of cosmic bedrock.

 The bedrock of the universe is the most basic material foundation for the creation work in Paradise Lost.

Each piece of cosmic bedrock has a complete plane of 3 meters by 3 meters, with an irregular cone or sphere underneath.

The sixty pieces of bedrock in front of him were accumulated bit by bit by Matthew who spent a lot of mental energy.

 With his relatively abundant mental strength.

 Only one bedrock can be created in one day, which shows how hard it is to create the world.

  But compared to this.

Even more difficult is planting trees on bedrock.

The hardness of these bedrocks is so exaggerated that even if Matthew holds a tree-planting artifact, he will be exhausted just digging holes every day.

 Plant a tree in three days.

 It is already the result of Matthew’s extreme efforts.

 The emperor and the heaven pay off.

With Matthew’s hard work day after day, Paradise Lost today not only has a proud vitality.

Matthew also accumulated a small amount of "founding energy" through actions such as digging up bedrock and planting oak trees.

This energy and the authority of the Founder work together to create any substance, including life, in Paradise Lost!

 Matthew attaches great importance to founding energy and never wastes any of it.

 Because his goal is very clear.

 We must find a way to resurrect those few sparks of life in Paradise Lost!

 Especially Terraste!

 Putting aside emotional factors, one of the important reasons why Matthew wanted to resurrect Lao Tai was to get him to work for him...

no way.

 Creating the world is really hard work.

 Matthew worked very **** his own.

 According to the current progress.

It will take at least several hundred years for Lost Paradise to grow into a new heaven.

 Once it really takes shape.

 Matthew will also have a new divine kingly authority as a result.

 He will become the King of the Ancient Gods.

 Automatically possesses power comparable to that of a divine mage!

 After discovering this.

Matthew once had the idea to just do nothing, find a place to hide, and survive until five hundred years later!

 As long as it’s in Paradise Lost anyway.

 His lifespan is infinite.

The current Paradise Lost is also private and safe enough.

 You can change your mind.

 Five hundred years.

How will the world of Irondor change drastically?

 What will be the fate of his cherished companions and the land?

 Can you really sit back and relax by hiding in Paradise Lost?

 Is the way of the ancient gods that I gave up really as beautiful as I imagined?

 After figuring out the joints.

Matthew thinks that he should just become a mage first!

 God king or something.

 Just work part-time depending on the situation!

 At most, it is a backup option.

　　　哐丁哐丁!

The shovel rubbed against the bedrock, causing sparks to fly.

Matthew was busy for a long time out of breath.

 Then a hole was dug above that was large enough for planting saplings.

During this process.

 He can slowly obtain founding energy.

 In fact, he can gain this energy by doing anything in Paradise Lost.

It’s just that planting trees is the most skillful thing for him.

 The mental energy required to create an oak sapling out of thin air is a fraction of other things.

 That’s why he chose to practice his old profession in Paradise Lost.

  Open up the bedrock.

 Digging holes to plant trees.

 Through this cycle, Matthew was able to accumulate the founding energy that is now 296 points.

 According to his estimate.

 As long as you accumulate 300 points.

You can resurrect Terraste’s fire!

 At that time, Matthew will have his first worker in Paradise Lost!

 It is easiest to resurrect Tyrast.

 Not only because his life fire is the most powerful, but also because the faith condensed in him is the most intense and pious.

 In this case.

 The Wood Elf's stubbornness turned out to be an advantage.

Even though Paradise Lost was blown to pieces, it has become everyone’s consensus.

Jade Cangting still insists that the resurrection of the Elf God is an unstoppable trend.

 This is due to Biananna's threading the needle.

 But it is mostly due to the stubborn nature of the elves.

  Comparatively.

The faith of the two leaders of the Forsaken, the Faded Dragon and the God-Eater Queen, is much darker.

It seems that the intelligent life in the ancient land is relatively more rational.

 But they are not the worst.

 The worst of all is Morzon, the traveler god.

 He has the least amount of faith condensed into him and the least amount of laws that may be integrated into him.

 Matthew made an estimate.

 At least 1,000 points of founding energy are needed to resurrect Mo Song.

Forehead…

 Matthew thought for a while.

 Let’s see you again in five hundred years, brother.

But I think of Mo Song.

 Matthew still had a good impression of him in his heart.

 Nothing else.

 The other party reminded Matthew to carry as many treasures as possible before entering the Blood Drinking Mountain.

 This point was confirmed after ascending to the gods.

Matthew found that many of the weapons he carried had turned into divine weapons!

 This is equivalent to an all-round strengthening of his weapons.

 Divinity’s blessing means stronger saving throws, better attribute support, stronger destructive power, and potential room for growth in divine magic.

  Matthew discovered.

　　I just need to put these divine weapons aside in Paradise Lost.

 They can grow on their own.

 This process is very slow.

  But the effect does exist.

 In the past six months.

The tree-planting shovel that was first put into Lost Paradise has received exclusive enhancements for two divine weapons!

 …

“Holy Word: When holding a shovel, you can recite a customized “Holy Word” (limited to a minimum number of verses), which will cause the shovel’s normal attack to have an additional 100% divine damage.

 The current custom Holy Word is—

 “Just let me hit you!”

“Hair Removal: Activate this magical spell to remove all hair and natural armor on a single enemy!”

 …

 These two magical spells are quite practical.

 The former can provide more types of damage;

  The latter is the nemesis of monsters with high natural armor.

the most important is.

 They are magical arts.

It's as if the mages didn't know that divine fire can ignite the tentacles of Ukros.

 Because gods have disappeared from the material world for too long.

 Many people don’t know how to resist divine magic!

 So it is very suitable for stealing a hand at critical moments.

 Finish today’s bedrock excavation.

Matthew regained his energy in Paradise Lost and said hello to Peggy of Darkness, who turned into a little black cat and slept soundly under an oak tree.

 His consciousness returned to the cemetery.

 Out of the dark room again.

 The sky is full of stars outside.

There was a strong wind blowing at the top of the cemetery.

 Due to the Great Rift, the past winter was not very cold, but the climate became more bizarre and changeable.

 Matthew stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the earth.

Death Fear Cemetery floats slowly in the sky within Rolling Stone City. It will follow the established track from south to north and from east to west, patrolling the entire territory of Rolling Stone City day and night.

 Above the eastern land.

 The oak and pine forests, symbolizing the sanctuary of life, not only survived the great tear intact.

　　Afterwards, it continued to expand a lot under the maintenance of druids and centaurs.

  Unfortunately, the easternmost part of the forest has reached the area where the "Astral Black Water" is located.

 This means that the expansion of Sanctuary of Life is about to be blocked.

 The so-called "astral black water".

This is the astral seawater pouring in from the cracks that Matthew used his guardian authority to fight against.

 Although most of the sea water has been dissolved by the guardian authority.

However, there is still a large amount of black water appearing on the border of Rolling Stone City.

 There are about 5 to 6 main roads in these black waters.

The intricate water system formed between them surrounds Rolling Stone City.

 Black water is extremely toxic.

 Ordinary people can't get close at all, let alone cross.

It is also very difficult to build a bridge over the Black Water without the construction capabilities of the Southern Division Division Corps.

 It is almost impossible to repair the bridge without causing any damage in the short term.

 Fortunately, Bogard, the world tree, sensed the changes in the world.

 It automatically grew a long tree bridge in the east of the woods.

The tree bridge spans over the black water.

It has become the only external access to Rolling Stone City today.

 The topic that Matthew wanted to discuss with Little Patton earlier was related to this tree bridge.

  At the beginning.

Matthew plans to open this tree bridge free of charge to all residents within the territory, which of course includes merchants and chambers of commerce in the city.

 But little Paton raised objections.

 He believes that this will not only increase the burden on the tree bridge, but also create greater hidden dangers.

at the same time.

After Rhaegar left, Rolling Stone City's huge financial hole needed various means to subsidize it.

 In little Paton’s private words.

There was a lot of mess before him, and he would rather continue studying electric lights and the devil's heart than being an unlucky king.

certainly.

　　That's what it said.

Little Paton also came up with many ways to generate revenue for the city hall, one of the most important projects is to charge for tree bridges.

 He is trying his best to persuade Matthew to do this recently.

 Little Patton’s eloquence is actually very good.

Matthew was almost convinced.

certainly.

 More importantly, he knew that the pressure on Patton was indeed great.

“If it doesn’t work, let’s try charging for a period of time…”

 In the midst of thoughts.

Matthew came to the new city hall in the city.

Even though it was night, there were still some lights burning deep in the hall.

Matthew went straight to the deepest point.

This is Patton’s office.

No.

　Now it’s time to call him King Parton.

 Matthew walked over and knocked on the door.

 The tired voice of King Patton suddenly came from inside:

 “Please come in…”

 Matthew pushed open the door and entered.

 At a glance, we saw the new king of the Rolling Stone Kingdom surrounded by a pile of documents.

 He pushed the coffee cup in front of him and stood up from the chair.

Matthew looked at the empty cup and raised his eyebrows:

 “Would you like me to call Mrs. Wesley for you?”

Patton shook his head:

 “It’s too late, I asked her to go and rest first.”

“I can make coffee myself. In fact, I’m pretty good at it…”

 “I am versatile, smart, and good at many things, as you know.”

“But now I am doing what I am least good at—being a king!”

 “Say it or not, **** Rhaegar…”

 “How wonderful it would be if he could come back to life right away!”

“Who knows how much effort I have had to make in the past six months to get rid of those aristocratic ladies and ladies who I suspected of having an affair with him...”

He couldn't help but complain to Matthew.

Matthew smiled and was about to continue talking about the tree bridge.

 But at this time.

Patton suddenly looked hesitant, and then placed a letter in front of Matthew.

 “I don’t know whether I should give it to you or not.”

 “But I think you must be very concerned about this...”

 Matthew narrowed his eyes.

 The handwriting on the envelope looked familiar to him.

That is…

 Sif’s letter!

 …
