The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

This is the direction from the second underground floor to the third floor of the Eternal Underground Palace.

Matthew discovered that it was different from the first floor.

An obliquely angled mezzanine appears at the junction of the second and third floors.

This mezzanine may not be the original design of the tomb, but was formed by the slow changes of the underground space over the long years.

There is still light in the eastern part of the mezzanine.

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

From the direction where the light comes in, a huge patio is opened above it.

The people from Jiandong City should have entered through this patio.

I just don’t know whether this patio is man-made or naturally formed.

If it is man-made.

This shows that the colleagues in Jiandong City may know much more about the Eternal Underground Palace than they do in my own group!

"No trace of the kobold warlock..."

Matthew was cautious.

Logically speaking, the kobold warlock Will set off at about the same time as the Sword Winter City group, and they were walking in the same direction.

With the kobold's talent in the underground space.

There is no reason to be slower than these mercenary-dressed counterparts.

"Is it possible that he has entered the third underground floor?"

between thoughts.

Matthew noticed a commotion among the group in front.

"There are a large number of undead approaching!"

"There are so many zombies! It's not like they were born on their own in the underground palace..."

"Idiot, with this scale of march, there must be someone behind the scenes. I think it's the Necromancer from White Rock City. I didn't expect him to be able to summon so many undead at the same time!"

With the blessing of the tomb realm.

Although Matthew's hearing has not improved significantly, his high priority in sound transmission and observation of words allows him to easily hear the whispers of his peers.

"He shouldn't have noticed us yet! Should we hold down these zombies first, and then quickly take away the treasure chest in the room?"

A somewhat flirty voice said this.

The tomb robbers discussed it for a while, but still couldn't make up their minds.

But very quickly.

A middle-aged man wearing a red turban stood up.

He seems to be the leader of everyone in Jiandong City:

"Forget it, let's go directly!"

"Don't bother with the Necromancer in the tomb anymore, remember our mission!"

That gentle voice seemed a little unwilling:

"We don't need to be so afraid of him, right?"

"The summons of the Necromancer are usually just to bluff people. The number of zombies I have killed is not only 500 but also 300. If he really dares to conflict with us, we may not be the ones who suffer."

The red turban said sternly:

"Don't cause trouble, let's get out of the way!"

Eventually the group left the room door.

However, their departure still seemed a bit slow.

That's why.

Matthew, who was fishing in troubled waters among the zombies, was also able to observe clearly how this group of people were dressed.

Each of them wears a turban, just a different color.

In terms of faces, some are young, some are mature, and most of them look like they are in their thirties or forties, not like that kind of young guy.

The soft voice before came from a young man wearing a black turban.

He is the only one among the people in Jiandong City who looks like he is in his teens.

"I still think we can observe. Maybe the necromancer will answer the question?"

"Even if you can't get the treasure chest, observing this process can still increase your experience."

The black hood whispered.

Regarding these remarks, the red scarf actually agreed:

"You can observe it, but be careful to keep your distance from the undead."

"Be prepared for battle. If an unexpected situation does arise, deal with the enemy in front of you first, and then help your companions. Remember our mission clearly, and try to focus on getting out of the battle."

While talking, they found a corner.

Look at the door of the room here from a distance.

Matthew had no intention of greeting the group.

He quickly arrived at the door of the room surrounded by zombies.

Under the gaze of everyone in Jiandong City.

Matthew took a step forward and came to the Sphinx.

He looked at the Sphinx with a smile.

However, the latter's eyes were tilted towards the ceiling, not looking at Matthew at all.

Matthew took a step forward.

The Sphinx actually stepped aside, her eyes still fixed on the ceiling, as if a wonderful drama was being staged there.

Matthew followed his gaze upwards curiously.

There were only cracked rocks on the ceiling, dusty cobwebs, and wet underground seepage.

Matthew reacted immediately.

I see.

He laughed secretly in his heart and walked into the room with great swagger.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone.

All of them had quite surprised expressions on their faces.

"That guy...how did he get in without answering the questions?"

"Is he the owner of the tomb?"

"He used the invisibility potion? No, we can see him. Could it be that the Sphinx can't see him?"

Hijabs of other colors are still being discussed from afar.

The young and energetic black turban had already rushed in front of the Sphinx.

He also wanted to imitate Matthew and break through the door.

Snapped!

The Sphinx lowered its thick hind limbs mercilessly, and its cold eyes focused on the black hooded body like a judgment:

"Answer the questions to get in."

"Death to trespassers!"

The black turban pointed at Matthew in the room:

"Then how come he can get in without answering questions?"

The Sphinx looked calmly:

"I didn't see anyone enter."

The black turban looked angry:

"Are you helping him cheat?"

Sphinx's eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Cheating is a serious accusation for the Sphinx family. Are you sure you want to stick to your words?"

"Are you sure you want to incur the wrath of the Sphinx?"

The black hood wanted to say something else.

The next second.

His head was quickly pressed down.

But he saw the red scarf grabbing the young man's shoulders and dragging him away:

"idiot!"

"The one who can make the Sphinx deliberately let go must be a master who makes him feel fear!"

"If you want to become a zombie, I won't stop you. Don't drag others down!"

"Let's go quickly, don't delay Miss Bai's important event!"

Under the orders of Red Hood.

A group of people trotted away from the undead's own place.

To their relief.

The necromancer didn't seem to want to cause trouble for them.

Pass through two sun-shaped corridors continuously.

They came to a cliff.

There are two suspension bridges on the cliff.

The suspension bridge winds downward.

In the endless darkness opposite is the third floor of the eternal underground palace, which is also the resting place of the legendary Prince Philip.

"Walk!"

The group quickly crossed the suspension bridge.

Soon disappeared into such darkness.

But half a minute later.

The black turban appeared again. He snorted and cut the ropes of the two suspension bridges.

Poof!

The suspension bridge broke off at one end and most of the bridge fell into the cliff below.

Accompanied by creaking shaking sounds and falling sounds.

A faint fire slowly lit up under the dark cliff.

There seemed to be countless candlelights floating leisurely below.

…

"This is the treasure chest I got with great difficulty."

Room door.

Matthew introduced to Lorraine and Carmela who were belatedly arriving.

The corners of the Sphinx's mouth twitched slightly behind the three of them.

But he was stunned and didn't say a word.

"Whose treasure chest is this?"

Matthew asked, pointing to the glistening treasure chest the size of a person in front of him.

Sphinx said coldly:

"My professional ethics do not allow me to disclose the origin of the client."

Matthew didn't mind his cold attitude.

Anyway, his body was quite honest just now.

"Aren't you supposed to be performing your duties in my cemetery now?"

Matthew asked curiously.

Sphinx snorted again. He raised his chin slightly, his attitude high and reserved:

"There are many people who have entrusted me with guarding treasure chests and secrets. It is impossible for me to work for just you."

"Although I will spend most of my time in the cemetery as agreed."

"But if there are people near other guardian places, I will immediately appear in another place."

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

However, at this moment Luo Lan interrupted:

"He's lying."

Matthew became interested:

"Which part?"

Luo Lan said without thinking:

"He was lying in part when he said he had a lot of clients."

The Sphinx's expression changed.

Matthew chuckled and said:

"So there are actually only a few people who entrust you with the protection of the treasure?"

The Sphinx turned her head stubbornly:

"This has nothing to do with you."

Lorraine held the piccolo in his mouth, writing and drawing on the Book of Hebrew Cards, and said vaguely:

"He's nervous now."

"And that's a lie too."

The Sphinx looked shocked.

"oh?"

Matthew was also a little surprised.

Is it possible that what I asked involves a very important field?

"The Sphinx's client?"

"Last time in Rhaegar's ancestral grave, he said that Queen Lutitia was not his client. The real client was most likely the necromancer who took Melinda away..."

Matthew's thoughts were racing.

So to say.

It is most likely that the Necromancer entrusted the Sphinx to protect the Blood Flag family's treasures, and also left this sparkling treasure box here?

But why would he do this?

Matthew suddenly felt particularly curious about the identity of the necromancer.

After all, in the history of the league.

There are really not many well-known necromancers, and those who occasionally make a name for themselves are mostly notorious.

"It is possible that he is an outsider, related to Melinda, and has a relationship with Lutitia. There is a high probability that he is a person from Stuluk Industries, that is, a Necromancer!"

Matthew speculated.

That person is most likely one of the two big figures whose strength ranking within Stuluk Industries is still above that of the Prince of the Dead.

So he tried to ask:

"Is it that Necromancer?"

The Sphinx's expression changed drastically.

"Wow!"

He actually started vomiting black blood!

"Stop asking!"

Sphinx's voice was filled with deep fear:

"I'm already suffering the backlash from the contract!"

"Pushing me to death will do you no good!"

The words fell.

A white divine light lit up his body.

Immediately afterwards.

A majestic life force emerged from the Sphinx's body.

His spirit was suddenly shocked!

"don’t worry."

"As long as I'm here, you can't die."

Carmella said calmly.

The Sphinx took a breath, and then he said angrily:

"It's not a matter of death or death!"

"I'm not afraid of death either."

"I'm just afraid that death will be meaningless!"

The Sphinx emphasized the last sentence angrily.

Carmela raised her eyelids and pointed to Matthew calmly:

"don’t worry."

"With him here, you will be useful even after death."

The Sphinx's eyes darkened.

I almost fainted on the spot.

"please!"

"Hurry up and finish opening the treasure chest, let me fulfill my duties and leave this hellish place!"

The Sphinx looked pleading.

Lorraine's eyes suddenly shifted from the Book of Hebrew Cards to the Sphinx's chest:

"Is this how you ask for help?"

The Sphinx was stunned for a moment, then looked extremely ashamed and angry.

His eyes swept over the three of them one by one, his eyes extremely complex.

Fortunately at this moment.

Matthew raised his hand and motioned for A Bing to open the box while he stood beside him.

Ah Bing moved briskly, and with a loud boasting sound, the treasure chest opened in response——

A bright light shot out to the outside world.

Matthew, who was well prepared, did not suffer from the dizziness caused by the bright light.

After the light dissipated, he looked inside.

I found a beautiful woman with an exquisite face lying in the treasure chest!

The beauty was wet all over, as if she had just come out of the water.

She has long emerald green hair that hangs down to her waist, giving her a charming look.

Her upper body was wearing thin clothing, and her waist was extremely slender. Under her perfect waist and hips was a round snake tail!

…

"Warning: You encountered the Medusa priestess "Neia. Shattered Eyes" (legendary creature/sealed/lord template)"

…

"uh-huh?"

Medusa Priestess slowly woke up, and a pleasant squeaking sound came from her lips and nose.

She subconsciously straightened up and tried to climb out of the box. In the process, her upper body violently collided with the edge of the box.

Her eyes slowly opened during the process——

But in this flash of lightning.

Feeling the severe crisis, Matthew stepped forward.

The shovel he held in his hand fell mercilessly, and cut off the head of the Medusa Priestess with an extremely smooth motion!

Medusa's head flew a certain distance in the air before being stepped on the ground by Lorraine who also reacted!

Her front face was facing the floor, and she was almost deformed from being stepped on.

A Bing stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

But it's not over yet.

A third figure squeezed into his field of vision——

But when Carmela stepped over, her right hand reached down, and her index and middle fingers were as precise as an eagle's claws, grabbing the eyeballs of the Medusa Priestess from her skull!

The next second.

She grabbed both eyeballs with both hands, and then squeezed them hard!

Two snaps.

Medusa's eyeballs were crushed instantly!

At this moment.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"Why are you cutting someone's head off? It's a bit too extreme..."

Carmela looked at Matthew:

"To deal with Medusa, just dig out her eyes like I did, and then crush them to burst."

Matthew spread his hands.

He was just an instinctive reaction in a crisis situation, and naturally he didn't think too much.

Roland bent down to inspect Medusa's body, and then showed a trace of regret:

"She's at least a thousand years old."

"But still a virgin."

"It's a pity that I was killed by you with a shovel."

Matthew explains:

"This is a shovel, not a shovel."

"Besides, I didn't mean it. At that moment, I sensed a huge danger. If she could open her eyes smoothly, we might all turn into stone statues."

"By the way, can you be resurrected?"

He looked at Carmela.

Carmela pondered:

"It's hard to say in this situation, but I can try."

Matthew nodded:

"If you can't be resurrected."

"Just let me resurrect you."

Luo Lan couldn't help but applaud and said:

"It seems that the three of us are indeed a perfect combination."

"The two of you have different resurrection skills and complement each other. There is no one in the world that you two can't pull together!"

Carmela looked at him sideways:

"So what does it have to do with you?"

Luo Lan said seriously:

"A team without a bard lacks soul, and also lacks inspiration for its companions."

Carmela said calmly:

"I've heard that said."

"But the meaning behind this sentence is not that the bard is too useless. As long as there is a bard in your team, the others will definitely not be at the bottom. Therefore, no matter what the bard does, he can be more or less successful. Does it have a motivating effect on teammates?”

Luo Lan said with a playful smile:

"That was indeed the case before the legend."

"But now it's after the legend."

Carmela said "Oh" and suddenly rolled her eyes:

"I heard that bards can actually resurrect themselves, and they can resurrect in groups?"

Luo Lan laughed at himself:

“Theoretically a poet can do anything.”

“But on a practical level, often we just tell people there’s nothing we can do.”

Matthew and Carmela were both amused.

The former reminded:

"Let's get people first."

"The body will be cold after a while."

The three people's attention returned to Medusa's body.

At this time, the Sphinx, who was watching with cold eyes, finally couldn't help it anymore.

He said angrily:

"Do you have any grudge against her?"

"Are you going to torture her like this?"

"You just need to put her completely back into the box and open it again after five minutes, and she will return to the moment she just left the box."

Matthew turned to look at the Sphinx:

"Now you are not worried about the backlash from the power of the contract for leaking secrets?"

The Sphinx said angrily:

"You have opened the treasure chest. The absolute period of confidentiality has passed. Of course I can say something."

"This Medusa is indeed a strong threat, but you only need to know the contents of the box in advance, prepare a piece of cloth, and cover her eyes when she comes out."

"You don't have to kill her."

Matthew nodded:

"thanks for your reminder."

The Sphinx puffed up its chest proudly and couldn't help but ask one more question:

"Do you have any cloth?"

"Want it in black."

Matthew thought for a while:

"There are quite a few."

"I can give you some if you want."

As he spoke, he took out a large roll of black cloth.

There is a faint negative energy emanating from these fabrics.

Some of them still had a little blood on them.

The Sphinx took the cloth, sniffed it, and nodded with satisfaction:

"This kind of fabric can be used, but Medusa's petrifying gaze cannot penetrate it."

"What was this originally used for?"

Matthew explains:

"shroud."

The Sphinx suddenly shuddered.

"I'll take my leave now!"

As he spoke, he returned the shroud to Matthew, and the figure resolutely disappeared from the spot.

"Bing, take her back and close the box."

Matthew ordered.

five minutes later.

The box was opened again.

Lorraine skillfully wrapped the shroud over the eyes of the Medusa priestess.

The latter's subconscious resistance seemed so powerless under the "Monster Holding Technique" that the three of them took turns to perform.

After a short period of testing and communication.

The three of them discovered that the Priestess Medusa was highly bound to the treasure chest.

She became part of the treasure chest, or was sealed in it.

She cannot leave the treasure chest, neither in the dimensions of time nor space.

Matthew and others summarized the following rules——

If the Medusa Priestess leaves the treasure chest for more than ten minutes or exceeds thirty meters, she will automatically return to the treasure chest;

The treasure chest cannot remain open for a long time and will automatically close in about ten minutes at most;

This treasure chest can only be opened three times a day, and there is a 30-minute cooling time after each opening;

The Medusa Priestess does not speak Common. The language she speaks is akin to a cross between Draconic and some extremely ancient underground Common.

Even knowing the language cannot remove the barriers to their communication.

Lorraine speculated that this Medusa came from at least a thousand years ago.

But compared to the time and space Carmela lived in.

This is still not too long ago.

"So the only use of this thing at the moment is to suddenly open it at the enemy - and then use the petrification ability of the Medusa Priestess to petrify the enemy on a large scale."

Matthew concluded quickly.

The Medusa Priestess's sight radiation range is very wide, the farthest distance is about 200 meters to 500 meters, and the attack area is generally fan-shaped.

It is a legendary creature after all.

The petrification ability of this thing would even scare the trio of underground allies.

It may be a trump card to deal with some enemies with strong resistance.

The only flaw is.

There is no way for this treasure chest to be stored in a storage facility, so it can only be carried manually.

In other words, Matthew has strength in numbers.

Just clap your hands and four zombie boys will come over to carry the treasure chest.

Otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.

After consuming the number of times you have opened the treasure chest today.

The group of people continued the sweep of the second underground floor unhurriedly.

Matthew's trip was less purposeful.

Therefore, he did not pay special attention to the group of colleagues from Sword Winter City.

And tomb robbing is a technical job.

It's not necessarily that whoever goes down first will make a sure profit.

present.

Matthew continued to lead the zombies to dig mountains and dig into the earth.

With the cooperation of the Gemstone Bay group.

quickly.

The rest of the second underground floor will soon be vacated by Matthew.

It is worth mentioning that.

In the final stages of the sweep.

Carmela suddenly expressed with joy that she had found a trace of ancient aura.

And that wisp of ancient aura was a mirror that looked extremely ordinary.

After she breathed the breath off the mirror, she threw it to Matthew.

Matthew looked at it.

It has no characteristics at all. Apart from its long history, it is just an ordinary mirror.

But it can make Carmela feel the ancient atmosphere.

This mirror definitely has its merits.

Matthew marked it specially and put it away.

Then when passing by the room that the Sphinx once guarded.

Matthew glanced inside.

It turned out that Lorraine was putting the Book of Hebrew Cards on his knees, holding a quill in his hand and writing rapidly.

Matthew's heart moved.

He opened his dark night cloak and reached behind Luo Lan from the edge of the door.

"I want to see what you wrote to me secretly!"

Matthew tiptoed and stretched out half of his head.

However, he was disappointed.

Lorraine wasn't working seriously.

Instead, I chatted with a girl named Rosie through the Book of Hebrew Cards——

…

"Loran: I encountered an interesting thing today. My friend Matthew found a treasure box. There was a Medusa sealed in the treasure box, and it was a legendary creature.

That treasure box is not simple either. It is filled with the power of time and can reset Medusa to the state it was in when it was opened at any time and at any time.

Are you saying God is not miraculous?

Rosie: It's amazing.

Loren: What makes me curious is another thing. You said that if I communicate with her in depth after opening the box, then I will close the box ten minutes later, open it again and communicate with her five minutes later, and repeat this process for more than ten minutes. times, so is she still a virgin when she unpacks it again?

Rosie:…

Lorraine: Don’t be so serious, let’s just discuss it casually! Creation requires divergent thinking.

Rosie: Whether she's a virgin or not, I think it just depends on her attitude. If she thinks she is, that's it.

Lorraine: If so, what are the dozens of experiences I had between opening and closing the box?

Rosie: The obscenity of a third-rate poet.

Lorraine: You know I'm not third-rate.

Rosie: The obscenity of obscene poets.

Lorraine (smiling): News reporting must respect facts.

Rosie: The obscenity of a perverted poet.

Lorraine (getting annoyed): I can complain to the alliance about your malicious slander!

Rosie: I can also complain to the league about your malicious harassment. Do you want to publish those photos?

Lorraine (quickly resigned): A kind and lovely girl like you would definitely not do that.

Rosie: Sorry, I know I'm neither kind nor lovable.

I don't think too highly of myself, and I won't misjudge my own identity just because of a few compliments from others.

I know that I am just an ordinary girl who happened to break into the perverted poet's field of vision when he was bored.

So please don't waste your time chatting with me!

Write well.

You still have two and a half days. "

…

"Perverted poet huh?"

Matthew couldn't help but poked Loren's lower back.

Lorraine disagreed.

He held up his quill and asked:

"If it were you, how would you respond to this paragraph?"

Matthew smiled:

"I will ask her if there are other rewards if she can meet the deadline early."

Luo Lan's eyes lit up:

"You are indeed not a good person!"

Matthew shrugged:

"I just want more overtime pay."

"Try it, maybe it can enhance your relationship."

"This girl seems to have quite a personality. No wonder you keep smiling weirdly."

Lorraine immediately wrote down Matthew's words.

But after a few seconds.

The words that appeared on the Book of Hebrew Cards made both of them look strange——

…

"Rosie: Do you still have the energy to finish the manuscript ahead of schedule?

I didn’t expect that I underestimated your strength!

terribly sorry.

I will compile a new batch of information right away.

I hope you can write more and better articles within three days..."

…

Brush brush brush.

Another page from the Book of Hebrew Cards.

A flood of news material and new manuscript requests began to surface.

"Matthew—!"

Lorraine put his head in his hands and cried out.

However, Matthew no longer knew where he had gone.

Another hour passed.

The completed mopping up troops followed the footprints left by the people in Jiandong City and set off to the depths of the underground palace.

However, when they reached the cliff break.

It was discovered that the suspension bridge connecting the two banks had fallen.

at the same time.

Suddenly, a long song came from the dark valley bottom.

…

Thanks to book friend [Bing Zi Ye Yue] for the reward! Please explain, 日7 means 7000. This is already very difficult for me...
