A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 459 Window of Darkness and Great Prophecy

 …

 The legendary way is finally getting better!

Matthew felt the integration and changes of the realm and magic in his body with great joy.

 After passing through the wind and frost period.

 Matthew’s legendary practice is enough to support his promotion.

 At this moment.

Even if he does nothing and simply completes the legendary promotion based on the balance between life and death, he can still gain great power.

  But if you do that.

　　is not perfect enough.

 Matthew is not an extreme perfectionist.

 But when it comes to being promoted to legend.

 His attitude was consistent and clear—

 Do whatever it takes.

Get the ticket to perfect promotion to legend!

  He quietly sensed the subtle changes in the chaotic storm. It was a omen from afar, which was directly reflected in Matthew's mind.

 “The official outbreak of the chaotic storm.”

“About two to four weeks away.”

 “I can also make some preparations in advance.”

  For this result.

 Matthew was quite satisfied in his heart.

 In fact, in addition to Canning, the city of order, he also sensed the storm of chaos that was slowly forming in other places.

 But the scale and intensity of those chaotic storms were far less than that of the city-state in the north.

This made Matthew curious.

 The City of Order has always been known for its strict order. It is one of the few large cities in the North that perfectly protected its residents during the Great Rip.

 In the past six months.

 Canning has absorbed an unknown number of people from surrounding cities.

Its development trend is even greater than that of Rolling Stone City!

 Even without personal inspection.

Matthew can also learn about the prosperity of the City of Order from rumors.

 What exactly caused this city-state to become the outbreak site of an unprecedented storm of chaos?

 Matthew’s heart was full of curiosity.

“I don’t know if it has something to do with the Sword of Thorns…”

 After the great tear.

 A vast and fertile plain appeared in the northeast of the City of Order.

That was the landform change caused by the former secondary plane Sword of Thorns integrating into the main material realm.

 It’s a coincidence.

Little Ingram, the former city lord of Canning, the City of Order, is still working in Matthew's cemetery as a headless man.

 The Sword of Thorns is the hometown of Ordesia, the mother of the black dragon, and Leon the Hollow.

There are also clues to the Rootless River buried there.

That area and Matthew have long had an indissoluble bond.

 He has always wanted to take the time to go and have a look.

However, in the past six months, the various hazards and changes caused by the Great Rip have occupied most of his time and energy.

 The crisis is now on hold.

This is a good opportunity for Matthew to take great strides to practice a new legendary way!

 Thinking of this.

Matthew sped up his actions to sweep away monsters by the Blackwater River.

 With the fall of a famous water ghost.

 More slaves of darkness stood up one after another.

 They followed Matthew.

 A mighty killing squad was formed.

 Later.

Wherever the team goes, the number of dark slaves alone can easily kill the monsters on the Blackwater River!

 The night passed.

Matthew has already cleaned up the Blackwater River on the eastern border of Rolling Stone City as usual.

 And behind him.

There is also an army of undead with more than a thousand people!

Some of them are slaves of darkness, some are skeletons or zombies that Matthew used to summon the undead, and some are undead units transformed by the Dragon of Twilight——

 Multi-pronged approach.

 The chance of corpses being transformed into undead in Matthew's hands is greatly increased.

This will ensure that no material is wasted.

 It can also save time in cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up corpses in disguise.

You can also add a new batch of reserve combat units to Matthew's cemetery.

　　It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.

 At dawn.

 When the light of dawn pierces the eastern forest from the white fish belly of the sky.

Little animals sparsely walked through the Sanctuary of Life, enjoying the peace and dew of the morning light.

 In silence.

 A huge shadow pressed down from the sky.

 The new little animals ran away in a panic. They didn’t understand what was happening;

 But the regulars in the woods are used to it.

 Beside the bushes.

A black peacock with bright feathers said to the frightened little wild boar next to him:

"Harmful!"

“Don’t be surprised, it’s just the dead bones under Lord Matthew’s hands that are gathering the troops!”

“You’ll get used to it after seeing it too much. Those dead bones are restrained by Master Matthew very well. Even if you steal their bones, they won’t be angry!”

“Speaking of which, dear Miss Wild Boar, I see that you are also pretty and single. Why don’t you partner with me? Maybe if we work hard, we can create a new species?”

"What? Is he a male? I don't believe it, let me see..."

soon.

There was a fluttering of chickens and dogs in the bushes, and the movement even overshadowed the cemetery that quietly descended on the edge of the forest.

 Forest edge.

 On four towers built with mountain stones.

  An undead was clumsily and laboriously climbing the ladder with a gentle slope.

 Necro units are indeed quite average in their ability to walk and climb.

  But through the design of building a **** similar to an approach bridge on the site.

Most of the undead can still successfully climb onto the cemetery mountain parked next to them through these fixed towers and bridges.

that's all.

An undead bathed in the light of the morning light and stiffly climbed onto the Death Horror Cemetery suspended in mid-air.

The sun fell on their blue-grey skin and faces.

 Certain moments.

It actually looks a little bit sacred!

 Not far away.

 A group of caravans planning to go to the "Matthew Bridge" passed by the path in the south of the forest.

 The members of the caravan looked at the solemn scene of the undead ascending the steps with awe—

 This scene is not unfamiliar to them.

 In the past six months.

Matthew has built such "landing bridges" in many places throughout the Kingdom of Rolling Stone. These buildings can better help transport the undead army on the mountain of Death Fear Cemetery.

  but more.

 He is always like this, gathering the ever-expanding army of the undead—

 Nothing else.

 The earth-shattering disaster brought too much trauma and death.

 This half year is over.

Matthew’s cemetery can barely hold the new Dark Servants and Undead units!

“Is the Datongpu on the seventh floor also filled up?”

 In the cemetery.

Facing the white ghost Ali’s report.

Matthew frowned helplessly.

no way.

　Too many people died.

Even though he possesses artifacts such as the Necronomicon, he is still working on improving the level of the cemetery to accommodate more undead.

 But the rate of expansion of the cemetery cannot keep up with the increase of the undead.

There are now more than 50,000 serious undead people lying in his cemetery.

This does not include the cannon fodder transformed by the Blade of Jaeger and the Dragon of Dusk!

 According to Ali.

　　Excessive accumulation of undead has caused instability in the operation of the Deathdread Cemetery mountain.

It also further dilutes the already rare negative energy.

 This will increase the risk of cemetery “crash”.

"I see."

“I will solve this problem as soon as possible. By the way, in the next half month, let Li Ruike lead the inspection to focus on the north and west banks..."

 After sending Ali away.

Matthew began to think about how to deal with the increasingly bloated undead army under his command.

 According to his previous method.

 It uses the cemetery in the sampan plane to accommodate some of the temporarily useless undead.

 But this is obviously time-consuming and laborious.

 After the great tear.

There are also problems with the geological structure of the southern land, even though the male demon Justin and Death Knight Forty-Seven successfully purchased four adult burrowers from the gray dwarf underground city of Duradin.

Matthew’s previous plan to build a tunnel was also put on hold indefinitely.

“Even if the tunnel is built, if it is frequently used to transport excess undead troops, not to mention the increased risk of exposure, the cost-effectiveness will be a bit low..."

Matthew thought quietly.

 Half a while.

 He decided to be more bold and radical and solve the problem of resettlement of the undead army in one step.

 The solution is simple.

 That is to place them in a special area located on the negative energy plane.

Matthew will use ritual field spells to transform that area into his own "private place" in the negative energy plane.

 By enhancing the degree of mutual penetration between this area and the material world, and expanding the opening of the negative energy channel.

 He has the opportunity to build a country where the negative energy plane and the cemetery of the material world perfectly blend together!

  Introduction to time.

 All the extra troops in the cemetery can be rushed to Xiao Fei's territory.

 When needed.

 Through a small boil, they are transferred to the blending realm and then transported to the material world.

 The benefits of doing this are many.

 But it also requires many prerequisites.

Matthew did the math, and now he has met almost all the conditions for enclosure in the negative energy plane—

  1. Sufficient money and resources (maintaining the integration of planes requires a large amount of energy and materials).

  2. Be familiar with the negative energy plane and have a suitable anchor point (the immortal king Philoleus and his King's Mountain).

  3. Sufficient experience in the application of necromancy.

  4. Plane blending spell.

 Among the above four points.

 Only the fourth point is something that Matthew does not possess for the time being.

 In fact.

 He has also considered this plan in the past six months, but was dissuaded by the fourth point.

 But it’s different now.

Matthew’s identity and privileges in the alliance have been restored, and he can directly go to Isabel’s spell library to find sufficient spells and technical support!

 As long as you have enough knowledge points.

You can learn whatever spells you want to learn, and there is no bottleneck in knowledge at all.

 This is the greatest value of the alliance!

 Just do what comes to mind is Matthew’s code of conduct.

 That afternoon.

He then dove into the cauldron room and looked for it in the alliance's spell library.

 Under the blessing of "excellent wisdom".

 Matthew masters new spells on lower than legendary difficulty levels incredibly quickly.

 It only took two days.

 He successfully mastered the three "plane blending spells" related to setting up large-scale ritual venues.

 Another three days passed.

Matthew successfully built a test field in the central square on the sixth floor of the cemetery that blends with the valley in the hinterland of Xiaofei's King Mountain.

This is actually a super large portal.

 Through the window of blending.

 The undead can frequently travel between the material world and the negative energy plane.

 When the window is open, a large amount of negative energy and related spell support will be consumed.

 Happily, it can be turned off when not in use.

Compared to temporary negative energy channels or large teleportation gates, the blending ground has fixed and transformed the plane layer, so the transmission efficiency will be much greater.

 According to Matthew's estimate.

As long as Xiao Fei is ready to respond, at least 10,000 undead units can be teleported to each other every minute!

This is enough to satisfy Matthew's need to control the undead army.

 Subsequently.

He handed over this experimental field called "Window of Darkness" to his mages to expand it——

The original batch of assistant mages and apprentices who followed Matthew to Rolling Stone City.

　Now many people have become qualified helpers for Matthew.

 It may be difficult for them to conduct a ceremony alone.

However, it is very simple to implement the expansion according to the plan drawn up by Matthew.

 It is precisely because of the experience of the Mark of the Dead.

 Matthew had a great time cooperating with them.

 In a few days.

The area of ​​​​Dark Window has expanded several times compared to before. According to this trend, they will be able to complete the revised goal before the end of the month -

 That is to say, the windows of darkness cover the entire sixth floor of the cemetery.

 During this period.

Matthew, who was away from home, also drew some new inspiration from the books related to "Window of Darkness".

 With these inspirations.

 He successfully developed a spell of his own.

 …

“Death and Fear Cemetery Summoning Technique: No matter where you are in Irondor, you can use this summoning technique to directly summon Death Dread Cemetery to your side!

 Ching time: 180 seconds. "

 …

This spell is of great significance.

 With this it.

 Matthew can summon the support of the cemetery and the undead army anytime and anywhere!

 When it is not needed at ordinary times.

 He can travel alone and lightly.

With the continuous improvement of his spell ability, Matthew is finally getting closer to the ideal state of a necromancer!

“Three minutes of chanting is still too long.”

“I have to think of a way to shorten it. The Suriel chanting method seems to be ineffective against this spell. How about trying to turn it into a signature spell?”

 In the midst of thoughts. Matthew stretched himself, took a cup of coffee, and went to the top of the cemetery to look at the scenery—

 Ever since the cemetery began to slowly patrol the entire area of ​​Rolling Stone City.

 He has this habit.

Climbing high and looking far away can easily make a person's mood broaden.

 Have been living with undead spirits and negative energy for a long time.

 Matthew will inevitably be tainted with some melancholy.

 Occasionally, when you come to the top of the mountain to enjoy the wind and look at the distant scenery, your mood will become cheerful.

It just so happened that the cemetery passed near the World Tree Bogard at this moment.

Yggdrasil absorbed unprecedented nutrients after the Great Rip, and its growth rate was astonishing.

The highest point of Burgaard is now over 400 meters!

 Sometimes the cemetery flies as low as the top of the World Tree.

 Several druids responsible for maintaining the crown of World Tree saw Matthew and saluted from a distance.

 They were surrounded by many fairies of light.

These little goblins are diligently following the instructions of the Heart of the World Tree, making tree houses, weaving rattan, rubbing moon stones, or collecting honey.

The centaurs are building a new village in the shadow of the southeastern Yggdrasil.

 Farther away.

The human rangers and rangers led by Eugene, the Son of the Forest, are inspecting the situation on the northern border of the pine forest.

Such an orderly and vibrant scene is in sharp contrast to the scorched earth and desolate scene across the Blackwater River.

  Matthew saw.

A huge tree bridge slowly extended from Bogaard's waist, and finally lay like a long lying dragon fifty or sixty meters above the Blackwater River.

Where the World Tree comes into contact with the black water of the astral realm, there is shocking decay, but this does not affect Bogaard's determination.

Some oozes are moving slowly on the rotten river beach—

They are all the offspring of the ooze leader through self-division, and can clean up Burgard's rotten wounds with the gift of devouring.

 And above the tree bridge.

 Caravans are passing through one after another.

 There was uneasiness on people's faces, but there were not many complaints.

“It seems that the toll on Shuqiao has not aroused the resentment of businessmen.”

 “It’s probably because Little Paton usually blows the air a lot...”

Matthew secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

 Him himself, he is actually not too afraid of being scolded. He is mainly worried that Parton cannot bear the years of scolding.

 Just as he said.

Nowadays, the people in the Rolling Stone Kingdom basically "scold Quarega when nothing happens, and scold Parton when anything happens."

Ordinary people would not dare to say anything about someone as detached as Matthew.

“Toll collection for the bridge is only the first step. There will be a series of projects to follow, including the issuance of ringgit, excavation of moats, recycling of devil’s hearts and construction of power plants, nationwide electrification plan, popularization of electric lights, rollout of new irrigation systems, etc… "

 Thinking back to what I discussed with Patton that day.

Matthew felt that this guy was actually more suitable to be the king than Rhaegar.

 I hope it will take a long time.

The people of the Rolling Stone Kingdom can treat the new king more fairly.

 Drink half a cup of coffee.

 Matthew regained some of his energy.

 After greeting Ali, Henry and others.

 He came to the second level of the cemetery—

  That is, the underground level of the original cemetery.

In three directions around the current negative energy fountain, there are portals shining with etheric light.

These portals lead to the underwater cemetery in the Arun Inner Sea, the mountain cemetery in the Ancient Land, and the Windward Valley in the Emerald Cangting.

 Matthew walked into the last portal.

 Seven minutes later.

 He then came to the southern city wall of Jade Cangting.

 Affected by a large tear.

The climate in the world of Irondor has become strange and changeable.

February.

 In the past, it was still a season covered in silver.

Now the phoenix flowers under the city wall are blooming extremely prosperously.

despite this.

The scenery around this section of the city wall is probably one of the few places in the entire south that has not changed much—

  I don’t know why.

 The "Great Rip" had very little impact on Jade Cangting. Except for the appearance of some monsters around the forest, the terrain was almost completely unaffected.

On the contrary, the Yonge Forest next door was torn into three pieces and was invaded by several large star beasts.

The night elves, who were originally mysterious and arrogant, have repeatedly experienced disasters that nearly led to their country's extinction in the past six months.

  Comparatively.

 with Jade Cangting, which was in a mess due to various things before, was safe and sound.

 The most dangerous time.

　　It was a star beast that invaded Yongge Forest and lingered on the border of Jade Cangting for three full days.

 But just when the star beast was about to step into the forest of the Jade Cangting.

next moment.

 It suddenly turned its head and headed north!

 Other than that, there is almost no major danger approaching Jade Cangting.

 This series of magical encounters greatly restored the wood elves' sense of superiority and self-confidence.

 More and more people are starting to really think so.

The reason why Jade Cangting was able to become one of the few areas that was not affected by this great tear was all due to the blessing of the Elf God!

Hence, the number of wood elves joining the Elven Cult has also surged recently.

 “Lao Tai can be regarded as a half-measure.”

 “It will take a while before he can be pulled up…”

 Matthew smiled silently in his heart.

 “Need coffee?”

　　A gentle voice sounded from behind Matthew.

 He shook his head:

 “No, I just drank.”

Then he turned to look at Beanna, who had a peaceful face.

 Compared with half a year ago.

 She has lost a lot of weight, but also gained a lot of charm——

That strong sense of holiness seems to have been integrated into her bones and blood.

 A person with a slightly darker heart.

I'm afraid I don't even dare to look at him.

Matthew asked with a smile:

 “A saint from the Elf Cult is so laid-back?”

Biana walked over generously, stood side by side with Matthew, then gently grabbed the city wall covered with ivy with both hands, and said in a relaxed tone:

 “There was nothing to do.”

"Elves are a free and undisciplined race. Most young elves have very low desires. What they need may just be a little sense of superiority. And this, in the past six months, most wood elves have been greatly satisfied. "

“Currently, a considerable number of the Wind Chasers in Jade Cang Court have gone to Rapid City to help under the leadership of Terrani, and some elves have volunteered to go to Eversong Forest to help the night elves build the royal court.”

 “The city has become much deserted.”

“It seems that after having faith in the Elf God, the wood elves became synonymous with kindness, bravery, enthusiasm and intelligence overnight.”

“I can now gradually understand the teacher’s previous insistence…”

 Matthew nodded.

He also saw what Beanna said.

The changes in Cuiyu Cangting in the past six months are astonishing.

 The spiritual outlook of the entire wood elf group is almost completely new.

 This is fully confirmed in Hood’s letter—

 In order to help the severely affected city of Rapids tide over the difficulties.

 The Wind Chasers paid a very heavy price.

 Including the lives of many young elves.

But the wood elves have no complaints about this, and Jade Cangting's assistance to Strom City continues.

 In Grand Rapids and a few areas in the south.

 The reputation of the wood elves almost surpasses that of the mages of the Seven Saints Alliance!

 This shows the importance of faith to wood elves.

Chatted a few words with Beanna.

Matthew walked down the city wall and came to the old site of the Mark of the Dead.

The fire is said to have burned for three days and three nights.

 After the fire has dissipated.

The tentacles of Ukruth are gone.

The dark black scorched earth gradually changed back to the appearance of the earth.

  It's just different.

 From time to time, some golden substances appear on the scorched earth.

 Many people are curious about the composition of gold.

 They want to pick it up.

　　However, I found that this was simply not possible.

The kind of light spots that look like gold powder will appear on the old site of the Scar of the Dead at a specific time.

 Matthew didn’t understand what it was at first.

 But later.

 He found that small animals often came to lick these light spots in the nearby woods.

 Then with the help of the spirit of nature.

Matthew then realized that these golden light spots were wonderful substances that could be used to nourish the soul and spirit.

 After figuring this out.

 He would come to Gray Lake to take a look every once in a while.

He tried to use sea elf meditation to absorb these substances. The efficiency could only be said to be average, but his mental power did slowly improve.

 Compared to humans.

 The soul of nature has the highest absorption efficiency for these golden substances.

So every time Matthew came over, he would summon the spirits of nature hiding in the holly oak seeds, allowing them and other small animals to absorb these golden light spots.

 After half a year.

These natural souls from the dreamland of the earth have collectively grown a lot.

Matthew thought about summoning them to work in Paradise Lost at the right time.

 I think the spirits of nature, who always like a peaceful and stable environment, will not refuse.

 Today is the same as usual.

  Matthew brought the soul of nature to the small animals that swept through the golden light spots left on the old site of Gray Lake like locusts passing by.

But very quickly.

 Matthew noticed the difference this time—

 The former golden light spots will reappear in their original places within a few minutes after being absorbed.

 After repeating this three times.

Only then will it completely disappear and enter the next cycle.

 But it’s different today.

Matthew discovered that after one exposure, all the golden light spots completely disappeared!

that moment.

 He had a vague suspicion in his heart.

 In the afternoon.

Matthew led the nature spirits to sweep away all the light spots near the Gray Lake.

 He looked back at the land that had been restored to be exactly the same as the surrounding environment, and the premonition in his heart became even stronger and more obvious.

 On the data column.

 …

　　　　Tips: Your main mission "Eradicate the Traces of the Dead" has been overcompleted!

 You have obtained the final reward of the main mission—

 Great prophecy (high-level legend)*10! "

 …

 The final reward of a consumptive nature?

 Ten opportunities to use the great prophecy spell?

 At first Matthew was a little disappointed.

 But quickly.

 He then realized the value of the "superior legend"!

 “Great prophecy, words come out as follows!”

“This is equivalent to gaining the ability to be invincible to a divine mage ten times!”

 Matthew adjusted his breathing.

 Don’t worry about the limited number of viewings.

 But some powers, as long as you have them, their nature is completely different!

 Only Matthew showed it once.

 Then you have the capital to bargain with higher-level beings.

 This is much better than the demigod status rewarded by the primary target!

 “This reward comes at the right time.”

“After keeping a low profile for half a year, it’s time to show potential enemies the consequences of opposing me!”

Matthew’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

 Soon.

 He looked to the north:

 “Let it all begin with Canning!”

 …

 Two days later.

 City of Order Business District.

No. 191, No. 3 Road.

 After disguising himself, Matthew walked into the shop called "Angela's Alchemy Workshop" alone.

Canning was not a product of the Alliance's Hundred Cities Plan.

 There is no mage tower for Alliance mage here.

  But there are also two hidden strongholds.

Matthew is one of them.

“I wonder what the personnel deployed by the Seven Saints Alliance in the City of Order will be like?”

This thought just came to his mind.

 The series of conversations that followed made Matthew feel that he must have come to the right place——

“Hey, Angela, why was the topic I submitted last time rejected by the Silver Council?”

 “What topic did you submit?”

“On why a female dragon cannot prove whether she has lost her virginity based on whether her hymen is intact.”

　　　…”

 “What is your conclusion?”

“Oh, it’s very simple. Dragons, like birds, only have a cloaca and no concept of a hymen at all…”

“In this case, does this topic still have any research significance?”

 “Um…what if the concept of transformation is introduced?”

 “Hey, we have a guest, and he’s a handsome boy!”

The voice fell.

 A girl with a bright smile came towards Matthew:

 “Welcome to Angela’s butcher’s workshop…no, it’s the alchemy workshop!”

  “Is there anything you need?”

 …
