Emperor of Arcane

"Ding, you got 20,000 merit points and 60,000 gold coins."

The clear and sweet voice made Shyvana's eyes widen in surprise.

She immediately realized that the knowledge she inherited from her father contained great value.

Shyvana did not hesitate, licked her lips, and said directly with an expectant tone:

"The elves living in the dark forest are called wood elves. I have only come into contact with a few wood elf tribes, and their number is not less than ten million."

"They are very cautious and exclusive, and basically do not have contact with forces and intelligent creatures outside the dark forest."

"They will kill any intelligent creatures that dare to break into the dark forest without mercy."

"Their social fabric is very intact."

"Ordinary people who are all soldiers."

"A forest druid who has the ability to cast spells and tame wild beasts."

"Carry out sacrifices for ideological guidance and knowledge inheritance."

"Each tribe has legendary leaders and elders."

"Almost all wood elves are good at archery and hunting, and are also proficient in melee combat skills. They are very good candidates for combat."

"In addition, the dryads, dryads, and tree spirits who work with the wood elves to protect the dark forest also have different combat abilities."

"..."

In Shyvana's narration, a completely different elven race appeared in Li's mind.

She never thought that elves could become so "special".

Matthew, who got the news quickly, suddenly raised his eyebrows and thought carefully about the memories in his mind.

It took him a while before he found a few words about the wood elves.

Players everywhere have indeed encountered wood elves.

However, the location is not in the plane of El Lasco, but in the mountains between the Scarlet Fortress and the Savage Plateau.

The characteristics of the wood elves there are exactly the same as what Shyvana told.

Stubborn, conservative, and very territorial, they attack any intelligent creature that enters their territory.

Adventurers have suffered a lot.

However, due to the players' persistent exploration and contact, the wood elves, who lacked enough manpower, combat power and resources, finally chose to "hire" the players.

I have no choice but to meet players who have "adventurers" who ask for very little, are keen to help (nosy), and can bring all kinds of supplies.

The wood elves, who had obviously experienced great changes, had to follow the local customs.

But even so, the wood elves still showed great restraint and caution, and did not let the players get too much information.

They only existed for a short seven or eight months.

The location where they existed eventually turned into a death zone.

All the wood elves who have lived there have only a few residual souls left.

Dozens of players, with various thoughts and considerations, have gone deep into it to understand it after paying a huge price.

In the end, they only got words like "pity", "sin", "arrogance" and "hate".

Players are naturally not satisfied with such information returns.

All players, including Matthew, are only interested in the word "hate".

After all, the existence of hatred means that it can no longer be completely killed and has become a terrifying existence at the level of gods.

Not to mention its survivability and combat effectiveness, the most dangerous thing about it is that it can withstand the rejection and suppression of the plane with its physical body.

He will be higher than the peak of demigods and the most threatening life unit.

For now, there is no abominable existence in the entire material plane, and the only unit that can "get close" is the high-altitude Scarlet Moon.

However, Scarlet Moon seems to be "unwilling" to become an "abomination" and has never shown its existence more forcefully.

Matthew didn't know that Scarlet Moon had already shown it, but he didn't know it yet.

Nothing has happened yet, and the number of wood elves is still very large.

Matthew didn't know whether the hatred had already taken shape. Even if the other party was really "born", it would not prevent the Gulf Territory and the Wood Elves from cooperating.

Judging from the entry point arranged by the players, the wood elves still have something to ask for.

It's just that what they want is different from what most forces want.

Of course, before arranging contact and taking action, Matthew and the Gulf Territory naturally had to do a good research.

"What does the wood elf want?"

January 25th.

Outside the ruined city-state of Netheril 18.

call! call! call!

Dull sounds broke through the air one after another.

The huge black train was running through the wilderness at extremely fast speeds, heading straight towards here.

The huge movement immediately attracted the attention of many adventurers.

It was the first time for many adventurers to see such a huge and mobile golem mechanical creation.

The faces of many adventurers showed expressions of watching a good show.

The huge noise caused by the train's movement will attract some dangerous monsters.

Click! Click! Click!

The big mouth that kept opening and closing emerged hundreds of meters in front of the train.

The magic cement foundation that was driven to a depth of 5 meters underground has been dug through by it.

Seeing its appearance, many adventurers exclaimed in surprise.

"Giant digger, why did you provoke this big guy?"

"These golem trains are doomed, the giant worms can swallow them all."

"It's fine if there's only one. Giant digging insects always appear in groups."

"Just wait. It won't take more than a few dozen seconds for more giant burrowing insects to emerge."

"Do these golem trains have weapons and combat personnel for counterattack? If not, we can withdraw first to avoid being targeted by these greedy monsters."

"So what if there is? Can we still deal with this super-level giant burrowing insect? Don't be kidding!"

"That's not necessarily true. In just over 10 days, the Gulf Territory built the railway across hundreds of kilometers to our place. You don't think they didn't encounter any trouble along the way, do you?"

"Wait, what is that thing?"

"It's Black Fang! It's over! How could this big monster get so close to the ruins excavation site? Has the dispeller failed?"

"Retreat first. What's coming is a group of super-large giant burrowing worms. The golem train in the Gulf Territory is finished."

"They are too unlucky..."

"Who says it's not?"

"..."

An extremely huge giant ground-burrowing insect roared out of the ground with a large piece of broken magic cement and smoke.

Just the upper body sticking out of the ground is more than ten meters long and as high as three or four stories.

The giant gray-brown armor is covered with all kinds of old marks and gaps.

The top of the huge head, which is three to four meters tall, has giant pincers that emit a jet black metallic luster.

This mouth can easily bite through the foundation and break a fine steel rail. This should be the reason why it is called Black Teeth.

This super-large digging insect exudes the fierce light of a legendary monster.

Under its leadership, giant ground-burrowing insects emerged from the ground one after another, seemingly preparing to have a dinner party.

When many adventurers and guard soldiers were panicking and preparing to retreat.

At the connection between the train track and the golem train, dazzling sparks and harsh braking sounds began to appear.

On both sides of each large carriage, tongues of flame spewed forward, exerting a huge backward thrust on the train and rapidly reducing its speed.

The stable formation that maintained the overall formation also quickly emitted a dazzling light.

After just braking for more than 60 meters, all three golem trains stopped.

The amazing control and spell effects displayed made the adventurers and guarding soldiers who saw this scene a little stunned.

This is completely inconsistent with their inherent impression of a huge thing speeding at high speed.

Before they could figure out how it worked, balls of scorching fire appeared from the top of the train.

The flying rockets rotated into the distance, targeting the giant burrowing insects that emerged from the ground.

Boom!

The giant burrowing insect that was wreaking havoc on the ground was immediately hit by the rockets that covered it.

Their thick armor has extremely strong defensive capabilities and can withstand the impact of rocket conical warheads.

However, the rockets had a secondary burst of damage, and the terrifying fire spread instantly surrounded dozens of giant ground-burrowing insects.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The flames rising into the sky and the billowing smoke immediately blocked the sight of the adventurers and guarding soldiers.

Before they could carefully examine the bombing effect of the rockets, another large number of rockets flew over and covered those huge shaking figures.

Like the fire of the blazing sun, it illuminated this wilderness and dispelled the last trace of haze in the morning.

Feeling the aftermath of the shock passing through their bodies, the adventurers and guard soldiers stopped, staring at the area where the smoke and dust gathered, and couldn't help but mutter silently:

"Is this the rocket from the Gulf Territory?"

"It's so fierce!"

Before they could be happy for long, a sharp roar came from the smoke and dust again.

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

The giant burrowing insects that had not suffered much damage were shaking their upper bodies.

They opened their twisted mouths one after another, and dozens or hundreds of densely packed fangs were squirming rapidly.

The adventurers who were very familiar with this scene became nervous:

"This is about to spray venom!"

"The distance at which the giant burrowing insect sprays venom can exceed hundreds of meters!"

"I hope people in the Gulf Territory know!"

"I kind of hope they win."

"What if? Because our place is too dangerous, then give up on us?"

"These giant burrowing insects are too powerful, shouldn't they?"

"Who knows? There is a large and dangerous ruin down there. Who knows what they ate down there?"

"..."

puff! puff! puff!

Dark green acid flew out from the giant digger's mouth and covered the golem train.

Under the nervous gaze of many adventurers and guarding soldiers, a thick magic barrier blocked the dense acid.

But the acid liquid of these giant digging insects is really powerful. It actually corrodes the magic barrier into bursts of green smoke, causing a wave of energy fluctuations, which obviously consumes a lot of energy.

Just when the adventurers and guard soldiers thought that the golem train would start a fierce battle with the giant diggers.

One by one, the dragon warriors, who were running extremely fast, rushed off the train in front of everyone's attention.

They easily dodged the subsequent flying acid and approached the giant burrowing insect at an astonishing speed of more than 30 meters per second.

They worked in groups of three and five, easily cutting the giant burrowing insect into several sections.

In the eyes of the adventurers and guard soldiers, most of the burrowing insect colony, which was invincible and had caused them heavy casualties and troubles, was wiped out like a chopping of melons and vegetables.

Under their somewhat "strange" gaze, the digger leader Black Fang, who was showing off his power just now, was besieged by more than 10 dragon warriors in the blink of an eye.

It only lasted for two or three minutes, and its claws, like sharp swords, were removed one after another.

The thick armor was even cut off from the connecting gaps by the dragon warriors.

The huge body, more than 10 meters long, was dragged out of the ground by the dragon warriors who were unwilling to let it go.

It successfully displayed a terrifying body of more than 20 meters long, but unfortunately it was in the form of death.

Not only does it have no deterrent effect, it is actually a bit absurd.

The dragon warriors neatly picked up all the stumps, and with speed and methods that the adventurers could only put to shame, they easily filled up the holes dug by the ground diggers, allowing the golem train to move forward again.

Some dumbfounded adventurers and guard soldiers recalled the dragon warriors' burly figures and the magical thunder magic armor, and countless doubts and wonders emerged in their minds.

Is this the Gulf Territory that issued the order "Be obedient"?

They do have such qualifications!

Sitting at the front of the golem train, Matthew collected enough data and was satisfied with another enhancement of the dragon warriors.

According to the original plan, the dragon warriors had just completed the surgical transformation of their liver and spleen, and they should be given more time to adapt and master it.

However, situations that occurred during training caused Matthew to change his original adaptation and improvement plan.

The impact of the liver and spleen on other tissues and organs is far less than the changes that occur when the kidneys undergo modification.

It was supposed to be a dual strengthening and transformation, but part of it was missing for no reason.

Despite the strengthening effect of this part, the overall strength improvement is only 2% to 3%.

The reasons for the different impacts can be found and utilized or repaired, which is more in line with Matthew and the Gulf Territory's style of conduct.

Moreover, a small improvement for an individual will be a huge increase for the entire large group that will be transformed in the future.

Matthew was not willing to just give up or ignore it!

After careful research, multi-angle analysis, and collection of data from all aspects.

Matthew finally found the root cause of the problem.

When the dragon warriors are "active", their liver and spleen, which have undergone initial transformation, will become more active and release their potential that was not originally stimulated.

In simple words, when the liver and spleen are more active, their influence and strengthening on surrounding organs and tissues will reach their maximum peak.

This means that these two organs are more "active" types.

Therefore, actual combat testing and data adjustment have become the key for these dragon warriors to transform and complete the ninth surgery.

Even the 10th stomach and digestive tract reconstruction surgery was adjusted and modified by Matthew based on this situation.

After all, the stomach and digestive tract are more "active" than the liver and spleen.

Matthew and the Dragon Warriors did not stay in Ruin City State No. 18 for too long.

After easily taking back management rights from the city-state administrators, Matthew arranged for the staff of the Bay Territory to carry out the "Gulf Territory" transformation here.

If it were in the past, Matthew's movements would not be so fast and his style would not be so "domineering".

But time is really tight now, and the news he got from Sivana made Matthew want to go faster.

A steady stream of golem trains arrived, transporting huge supplies and Gulf Territory staff and soldiers.

They quickly took complete control of the city-state, first using life-changing and richer reward tasks to easily conquer most of the adventurers and guard warriors.

Then, according to Matthew's arrangement, they quickly transported some mysterious materials excavated underground in City-State No. 18 back to City-State No. 3.

After obtaining these materials, Matthew simply collected the data and ordered them to be "purified" and sealed to the highest degree.

Matthew also studied these materials and finally figured out what the wood elf wanted.

At the same time, Matthew finally understood why the wood elves have become so "special".

January 28th.

Ruins City-State No. 3.

Feeling the powerful force active in her body, Shyvana suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried hard to learn to control them.

Standing next to her, Li made a final check to ensure that he was not carrying any metal utensils. He turned to Famir and asked curiously:

"I heard that wood elves don't value etiquette, but attach great importance to nature. Are there such extreme examples among the Cole elves?"

Farmil, who had completely adapted to the initial discomfort, shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened, and answered with the ease and confidence unique to bay collars:

"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. There are many Cole elves who advocate freedom of nature, and they are much more extreme than this."

After hearing this, Li stopped his inspection movements slightly, showed an eye-opening expression, and perked up his ears very happily.

Sivana on the side also looked over curiously.

What's the news?

We love hearing it!

Say more!

Seemingly remembering something again, with a bit of embarrassment and helplessness on his face, Farmir complained with a despairing expression:

"According to the news from within the Cole Elf Kingdom, a large number of the Elf nobles were found to be engaging in the rituals of the Desire Sect. The scene was simply unsightly."

"There are some new sects that advocate primitiveness. Not only are they not allowed to use various metals, they are not allowed to use magic. They stay naked all day long. They say they want to be closer to nature."

"I heard that on the floating magic tower near Silver Moon City, the Cole Elf Archmage performed a demon summoning ritual. As a result, an army of demons appeared, killing and injuring a lot of people..."

"There are also some who advocate absolute freedom and call on all Cole elves and any living creatures to come into contact..."

Having said this, Farmir suddenly reacted and subconsciously closed his mouth. Looking into the shining eyes of these two guys, he complained without hesitation:

"Based on our understanding and analysis of these wood elves, as long as we behave calmly, there should be no problem."

Shyvana, relieved, nodded thoughtfully.

She could tell many things from Farmir's state.

Most of them are good stuff and will make Farmir more relaxed.

She also followed Li's example and checked again to make sure she was not carrying any forbidden items.

When the teleportation array lit up, more than 30 Gulf Operations personnel stepped into it.

Shyvana, who was looking forward to it, opened her eyes immediately the moment the transmission ended.

What comes into view is a lush gray-black forest.

It was as quiet, dark and dangerous as in the memory.

Within a hundred meters of the forest, there were all kinds of white skeletons.

There are still emerald green arrows stuck on the bones, which have turned into small saplings.

The whole picture is spectacular and weird, making people shudder.

All kinds of eyes gathered from the forest, making Shyvana, whose strength had improved, feel a strong threat.

She quickly calmed down her mood and thoughts, and it took a while before she regained her composure.

Staring at the dead forest, Shyvana was filled with curiosity. How would the territory communicate with each other?

Matthew's method is very simple, beyond everyone's imagination.

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of Gulf Territory operators and the vigilant attention of countless eyes in the forest, he took out a seed that exuded strong vitality.

Matthew did not throw the seeds into the dark forest and communicate with the other party as Shyvana imagined.

Instead, he lit a fire directly out of thin air and surrounded the emerald green seed.

Such a "crazy" move really shocked Shyvana.

She could even feel that the wary and scrutinizing gazes in the forest quickly began to turn into gazes of hatred and death.

Clenching the black staff in her hand, Shyvana was ready to release various spells as quickly as possible at the moment of the battle.

The battle did not begin.

The seeds of the Tree of Life, surrounded by arcane fire, quickly sprouted fresh buds.

The young leaves, as translucent as emerald, are emitting a charming emerald green halo under the sunlight.

The faint coolness and rich vitality quickly spread in all directions.

Under Matthew's "pouring", the sapling, which successfully grew to 30 centimeters, was placed on the ground.

The saplings naturally grew roots, piercing the ground, and more roots grew.

Such a mysterious scene deeply attracted everyone's attention.

Matthew didn't feel bad for the 10 million points of destiny power invested.

Currently, the Gulf Territory has gradually taken control of most of the ruined castles in the Ellask plane. The battles that occur everywhere can bring him about 3 million destiny power every day.

Such a small investment will definitely bring huge returns, and Matthew is naturally willing to do so.

Looking at the green and alluring Tree of Life, even the wood elves with rock-hard hearts couldn't help but feel moved.

They didn't know Matthew's purpose, let alone how he did it.

However, they could not give up on the seedlings of the Tree of Life that grew before their eyes.

The maverick wood elves!

I came across an even more peculiar bay collar! (End of chapter)
