The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

"You are not Li Weiqi."

In the dark and remote alley, a humanoid figure with only a little green scales exposed in the starlight said cautiously:

"Although I have never seen the turtle monk who did all the bad things, I know that monks are not like you."

not far away.

Matthew stood openly in the middle of the alley.

Mage fire illuminated his handsome face.

Unlike the Nagas standing in the shadows, there is an atmosphere of vigilance.

Relaxation and joy were written on his face.

Li Weiqi’s reputation really comes in handy!

This guy became famous for eating almost all the turtles on the Gold Coast.

In addition, he also did several famous things.

It is said that one of them was a friction with Naga, and then killed most of the pursuers of a Naga tribe at sea.

Since then, Lee Widge has not only become a household name on the Gold Coast.

It even enjoys a good reputation among Nagas.

Matthew doesn't care about notoriety or reputation, as long as he can seduce the right person——

In his opinion, this is how legend is used!

If it weren't for the uncertainty of whether Lorraine really hooked up with the Naga Queen.

He is even willing to directly assume the identity of a deceitful demigod!

But this move is much riskier.

Li Weiqi's enemies are at best some turtle protectors and naga.

As for Lorraine.

Matthew didn't dare to think about it.

"I never said I was Li Weiqi."

"But Li Weiqi is indeed my friend, and I just want to use his reputation to say hello to you."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Matthew, a second-level member of the Silver Council of the Seven Saints Alliance. If you have paid any attention to the affairs in the interior, you should have heard of this name."

He took two steps towards Naga in the shadow.

"do not come!"

Two naga raised the harpoon.

The humidity in the alley suddenly increased a bit - Matthew knew that someone was brewing tidal magic.

Matthew calmly held the shovel behind his back in his hand.

The prelude of tidal magic was immediately interrupted.

The exclamation of a Naga mage came from the shadows.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to be your friend."

The moonlight suddenly shone down.

Under the influence of holy authority.

Everything Matthew said seemed so sincere and credible.

His handsome appearance also became more charming because of this, as if he could draw away the souls of Nagas with every move he made - no matter whether they were male or female.

The tension in the alley immediately disappeared.

now.

A green-skinned naga suddenly walked out of the shadows.

Her figure is obviously taller and stronger than other Nagas.

The breasts are also plumper and plump.

The fish scales on her cheeks were shaking slightly, which showed everyone's uneasiness:

"I have heard of your reputation, but I know nothing about you personally."

"You said you are here to be friends, then you must at least explain - how did you know that you can contact our Yongye Tribe from this store?"

Matthew showed a helpless expression:

"I did business with you, but the hobgoblin lady forgot about it."

"I have purchased underwater breathing potions in large quantities from your Evernight Tribe."

"After I came to Kordo City, many people told me that the Evernight Tribe is one of the few heroes in the entire Arun Inland Sea who is still resisting the brutal rule of the Naga Kingdom. This is the reason why I want to find you. .”

Qingpi Naga was silent for a while.

Her expression was calm and sad:

"We are not heroes."

"We are just a group of wanderers who have been driven out of our homeland."

"We cannot resist the power of Queen Naga, nor can we resist General Arenas and the sea monsters under her command. If you want to expect us to help kill the Naga Kingdom, it is almost impossible."

"In fact, we have planned to move away from the Arunai Sea in the near future and seek refuge in a more remote place..."

Matthew quickly interrupted her:

"First, I didn't expect you to help me kill the Naga Kingdom, and that's not my motive."

"Second, do you think those primal Nagas will let you go?"

"As long as you still have the blood of the original Naga flowing in your body, you will be tracked by them and then killed."

"If you still have some geographical advantages in the Arun Inland Sea, then in unfamiliar waters, you will only be reduced to lambs to be slaughtered."

The Nagas looked very depressed.

The same is true for Qingpi Naga.

However, as a leader, she still managed to cheer up:

"What do you want us to do?"

Matthew said directly:

"I need you to help me sneak into the Naga Kingdom, preferably into the core area of ​​the Dark Primarch Holy Cult's activities!"

"If you can find Queen Xena's hidden location, or her daily travel route, that's fine."

Qingpi Naga was horrified:

"You want to assassinate the Queen?"

Matthew spread his hands:

"She is not your queen, she is just a monster created by Dusk Creation."

"If I kill her, this sea area will return to its previous state. You should be happy."

The other naga began to whisper.

Qingpi Naga hesitated and shook his head:

"According to custom, we cannot betray our own people."

Matthew sneered:

"Do the Primarchs regard you as one of their own?"

"Will our own people enslave our own people?"

“How long did it take for the Naga of Arunaihai to shake off the negative impression the world had?”

"You have been regarded as an intelligent race. You have got rid of the labels of ignorance, torture and control. You have the opportunity to step onto the stage at the center of Ain Dorgen."

"Are you really willing to give all this up to others?"

"Let the entire Naga clan be reduced to a tool of Twilight Creation to create conspiracy and chaos?"

"Do you know what will happen then?"

"There will be a real legendary mage who will lead overwhelming magic from the sky. Maybe all the Naga civilization will be razed to the ground."

"Do you really want to see that?"

"Don't forget, how was the Arun Inland Sea formed?"

"Bruch doesn't care about your lives and civilization. Don't you care too?"

What Matthew said was true.

Even without the blessing of holy authority, it still has great persuasive power.

Many Nagas were moved.

Only Qingpi Naga managed to maintain some sense:

"But as far as I know, Bruch is not the only force in the Dark Primarch Holy Cult."

"When we challenged the original body faction, we discovered the backs of many foreign forces."

"Their origins are very complex, but what they have in common is that they are strong and they all come from the shore."

Matthew nodded slightly.

This didn't surprise him.

Combined with the information provided by Chen, Carmela and Yu Lian.

Matthew not only knew the current situation of Arunnehai well, but also noticed some signs that other forces were ready to take action.

Why did the Holy Cult of the Dark Primarch establish a state in the Arun Inner Sea?

To know.

They most likely swam over from the Endless Ocean.

There is only one reason for the long journey -

The Endless Ocean and its offshore waters are the domain of Chen, the Guardian of the East.

Brutsch himself is naturally not afraid of Chen.

But His little brother may have to stay far away.

The only option was to hide in the Aru Inland Sea, a place where neither Chen nor Ronan was too lazy to go.

Only then did they have the courage to re-establish their power.

The Holy Cult of the Dark Primarch is like this.

The same is true for the devils who support Yu Si.

The Gold Coast and the Arun Inland Sea may not be within the eyes of the legendary mage of the Alliance.

But for other forces, it is very satisfying.

Matthew asked himself that if he were from Tianlun Palace, he would not miss this sea area.

In fact.

He had learned a long time ago that there were traces of the activities of the Calamity Cult on the southern shore of the Gold Coast.

If there was no collusion between the Dark Primarch Holy Cult and the Tianlun Palace forces such as the Scourge Cult.

Matthew will find it strange!

It was precisely because he had considered all these factors clearly that Matthew was relatively restrained in setting the goal of his trip to assassinate the Naga Queen.

If it is convenient, you can also take care of the general.

Minimally complete A Bing and Chen's missions.

This is Matthew's bottom line.

"I know everything you said, but you can't expect me to wipe out all the opposition forces for you alone."

"After the death of Queen Naga, who will control this sea area depends on your own efforts."

"Of course I can provide you with some help, and we can even have long-term cooperation. After all, I have always praised your underwater breathing potion."

Matthew replied.

Qingpi Naga thought for a few more seconds.

finally.

She took a few steps forward and whispered in Matthew's ear:

"You start from the southwest of Cordo City Pier and find an island called Gray Island. There is a very high cliff on the north shore of Gray Island. I will wait for you there at dusk two days later."

"But remember, I will only wait for you for half an hour. If you don't show up on time, it will be like we have never met!"

Matthew nodded slightly.

Qingpi Naga looked at him deeply. When she turned and walked into the shadow, she suddenly turned around with some dissatisfaction:

"Did you never plan to ask my name from the beginning to the end?"

Matthew politely said:

"May I ask your name?"

Qingpi Naga escaped into the shadows with some dissatisfaction.

Her voice still came from the darkness:

"My name is Sushmita."

"Next time we meet, you can call me Sumi..."

The alley gradually calmed down.

Matthew quickly removed his holy authority and touched his face:

"Damn my charm, it seems like it's not too late to change my profession to become a warlock, right?"

…

Leave the alley.

Matthew saw Peggy pushing Bing aside in a corner and scolding him.

"What's wrong?"

he asks.

Paige let go:

"It's nothing. I think his bones are a little dirty. I just need to help him clean them up."

A Bing lowered his head silently.

puff!

Silently, he activated the shadow cloak and followed Matthew obediently.

Matthew quickly realized something.

He comforted A Bing through the Immortal Contract and said:

"I know you want to kill Naga when you see it, but please bear with me."

"I will take you to kill the culprit among them."

A Bing gave a rare reply to Matthew:

"good."

"I...want...to leave no one behind!"

Matthew raised his eyebrows.

The hatred between the Sword Dancer and Naga is really a sea of ​​blood, reaching the point where it cannot be resolved even after death.

Matthew actually does not agree with the practice of killing everyone.

But for an undead person like A Bing who had an independent will and a strong desire for revenge, he did not want to bind him through a contract.

"Can."

"After this matter is resolved, if you still have hatred for Naga, I will give you a month's holiday every year. During the holiday, you can kill as many Nagas as you want."

"As for how far you can go, it depends on your own ability."

Matthew replied.

A Bing remained silent for a long time.

Matthew was a little surprised at first, but soon he became dumbfounded.

on the data column.

…

"Tip: With A Bing's intelligence, it is temporarily impossible to understand the large paragraph you output through the Necromancer Contract.

He is trying to understand! "

…

Fine.

Then slowly understand it.

Matthew didn't expect Bing to become enlightened immediately.

After meeting Naga.

According to the original plan, Matthew planned to go back to the Oak Chamber of Commerce's store in Cordo City to rest.

But walk and walk.

He was attracted by the bustling flow of people in Cordo City.

Yu Lian is really not a good guy.

But he is really good at economics.

Even though it was already night, Matthew saw many creatures of different races walking on the street, hawking, shouting... Of course, there were also many quarrels.

The flow of people in the business district was more than three times what it was when Matthew came before!

It is said that the situation at the dock is even more intense.

Matthew stood in the middle of the street and turned on his balanced perception. He could feel that there seemed to be an invisible whirlpool in the city.

Attracting countless gold coins towards the depths of the vortex.

During the Naga Civil War and Yu Lian's governance.

The entire city of Cordo is on the fast track of rapid development.

It's just that there are pros and cons.

Matthew observed that the security level of Cordo City looked good on the surface, but privately it was almost rotten.

In a dark bar alley.

A drunken man was stabbed more than a dozen times in the back;

Sewer entrance.

A few ratmen pretended to be resting, but in fact they were covering a batch of shady military weapons transactions;

There are also commercial streets.

A sneaky boy used a blade hidden in his fingernails to cut open the pocket of a richly dressed lady——

He was about to succeed.

Four big men suddenly jumped out from the crowd next to him and surrounded him!

"Ma'am, he's stealing from you!"

The big man said to the lady.

The lady turned around in surprise. She covered the crack in her waist bag, counted the contents, then grabbed the other female companion's hand and left quickly.

She has good eyesight.

The four big men who suddenly appeared were not kind people either.

It's better to leave first.

The four big men didn't stop them. They just looked at the livid-faced boy coldly. One of the big men grabbed the boy's wrist, and the flesh on his face kept shaking:

"According to the new law promulgated by the Lord of the City, one finger will be cut off for stealing!"

"Do you want to try it?"

The young man was frightened by him and immediately lost his temper.

There was a pleading expression on his face:

"Boss Kunda, I haven't crossed the line."

"Didn't we have an agreement before? The south of that fur shop is the territory of your "Blackwater Gang". I am here..."

Snapped!

The big man slapped the boy until he was stunned, and a line of nosebleeds came out of his left nostril!

"You said that if you haven't crossed the line, you haven't crossed the line?"

"The lady just now came from our territory!"

"Besides, I'm talking to you about the law now! The law! Do you understand?"

The big man smiled ferociously and said:

"What I hate the most is little thieves like you, who dare to go out on the street and make yourself look embarrassed even if you don't have any skills."

"If you are caught by the guards and chop off your fingers, it will bring shame on all the thieves in Cordo City!"

A person next to me smiled and said:

“What can we do to prevent that?”

The big man smiled and said:

"Of course I want to help him change his ways!"

"Let's chop off one of his hands, so he doesn't have to chop off a finger in the future!"

"Damn, our Blackwater Gang are really kind people!"

Said.

The four of them grabbed the young man and walked into the alley next to him.

The onlookers just watched the excitement in silence.

No one even informed the guards.

After all, any discerning person would know that this is an internal dispute between urban gangs, and it would be better for ordinary citizens not to get involved.

They carried the boy and rushed deep into the alley.

Only a drunkard who was stepped on a few times along the way cursed a few times.

rub!

Under the moonlight.

The shining knife was filled with a bone-chilling chill.

The young man kept asking for help.

But all this got was more ridicule from the big men.

However, just when he thought he was about to lose his arm.

A strange magical energy suddenly fell from the sky!

Suddenly.

Those four big men turned into goats!

They were running around in the alley in panic.

The mage standing at the entrance of the alley used magic to guide the goats, and the goats immediately rushed out towards the street, making a lot of noise along the way.

The young man looked at the mage walking towards him in shock.

His heart was filled with fear.

"Where's your grandpa?"

Matthew asked.

The boy looked at Matthew in surprise.

He identified it for a long time before finally shouting excitedly:

"It's, it's you?!"

"Master Matthew?"

He tried to stand up from the ground, but stumbled and fell down again.

It was Matthew who threw him a secondary treatment, and then slowly lifted him up with his balanced hand.

Matthew looked at the boy's face quietly.

In Matthew's memory.

This child named Xiao Shitou is only ten years old this year, but he looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old, with traces of suffering that cannot be hidden on his face.

It was in sharp contrast to the innocence and innocence they showed when they met at Wanfeng Pier last summer.

"Grandpa...went back to the sea."

"Just like other old people in our Sioux tribe, one night not long after you left, he got up by himself, and then without saying anything, he walked from the beach to the waves."

"I chased him all the way and was almost swept away by the waves."

Xiao Shitou lowered his head and said.

"After grandpa left, Xuan Kunzi came once. After learning about grandpa's death, he returned to the sea and never appeared again."

"Without Xuan Kunzi, I am the only one left at the dock."

"The Nagas fought fiercely at sea, and there were not many travelers who wanted to cross the sea. I ate coconuts and raspberries for two months, and I was so hungry that I had to come to the city to eat."

"I don't want to be a thief..."

Matthew sighed softly.

On the Gold Coast, there are quite a few Sioux descendants who are like little stones. They have no livelihood skills, so they can only engage in various gray and black industries.

The same is true for Yu Lian.

It's just that he is one of the very few who can become famous.

Considering that he and Xiao Shitou had a relationship.

Matthew rolled his eyes.

Immediately asked:

"Can you read?"

Little Stone nodded:

"Yes, grandpa taught me when he was here."

"But I always write on the beach and have never touched paper or pen."

Matthew waved his hand:

"It does not matter."

"If you are willing to follow me, I can arrange a job for you. This job will not make you rich, but it will definitely ensure that you have enough food and clothing."

Xiao Shitou asked excitedly:

"What do you want me to do?"

Matthew thought:

"It's not a particularly complicated matter, but you have to follow a fat man all day long, record his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and report to me regularly."

The little stone jumped up excitedly.

But soon he looked nervous:

"I'm afraid that my skills are not very good and it will be easy for the other party to see it."

Matthew smiled:

"You don't have to hide it from the other person. Just record it truthfully in front of him. He won't mind."

Little Shitou said in surprise:

"Really?"

"That guy is so nice..."

"Um, by the way, who is he?"

Matthew said calmly:

"The lord of Cordo City, his name is Yu Lian."

Xiao Shitou was slightly startled.

There was a look of disbelief on his face:

"B-but..."

Matthew raised his eyebrows:

"how?"

"Scared?"

Xiao Shitou hesitated for a moment, then immediately puffed up his chest:

"I'm not afraid!"

"I believe you!"

"Grandpa and Xuan Kunzi both mentioned that you are a great person, and you will do whatever you say!"

Matthew nodded with satisfaction.

"Peggy, take him to the City Lord's Mansion."

Matthew arranged to say.

He did this not because he didn't trust Yu Jian, but to reassure Yu Jian.

to some extent.

The people Matthew placed around Yu Lian may also become his talismans.

Matthew believed it.

It is impossible for Yu Lian's mind to fail to see this.

So when leaving.

He also specifically told Paige through the undead contract:

"By the way, remember to tell Yu Yan that he will pay for Xiao Shitou's salary."

After hearing this, Peggy was greatly moved:

"As expected of you, Matthew!"

"But I like your style of being diligent and thrifty."

“But what about my salary?”

"We can't let Yu Lian do it, right?"

Matthew thought for a while:

"It's not impossible..."

"Didn't he say that he is good at making money? You can ask him if he has any way to make soul crystals."

Peggy couldn't help but give Matthew the middle finger.

Then he wanted to lead Xiao Shitou away from here.

But at this time.

Little Stone suddenly turned around:

"Can you go somewhere with me?"

Matthew thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement.

ten minutes later.

The outskirts of the city of Cordo.

Under a dying coconut tree.

Little Stone climbed up from the deep pit that was half a man's height. He held a wooden box in his arms, which was covered with mud and sand.

The little stone patted the surface of the box and then opened the box.

There are only three things in it——

a piccolo;

a brass key;

a red triangular amulet;

"These are the only things my grandfather left me. There wasn't much in the first place."

Xiao Shitou introduced them one by one:

"This piccolo is used to summon Xuan Kunzi. As long as you play this flute at the beach, Xuan Kunzi will come riding on the waves in a while."

"It used to be like this, but it stopped working after grandpa died. I don't know what happened."

"The key and the triangular thing seem to be related to Xuan Kunzi. These things are of no use in my hands anymore. Why don't I give them to you, Mr. Matthew, as a souvenir."

Matthew took the three items one by one.

He could feel that there was a hint of spirituality in every item.

Spirituality is not enough.

So they can't become wonders.

But in the hands of the right person, these three things can be considered treasures.

"This is so precious."

Matthew shook his head.

However, Xiao Shitou was very persistent:

"For me, having the opportunity to be an upright person is even more precious."

"For a long time after my grandfather died, I just wanted to find a job that could support myself. This was my dream, and you made it come true, so there is nothing more precious than this. .”

Matthew silently pondered while holding the box.

next moment.

He put the things away and handed three magic runes and a ring into Xiao Shitou's hands:

"If you are unhappy working in the City Lord's Mansion, you can contact me through this rune and I will arrange other jobs for you."

"This ring can be used to become invisible. There are only nine opportunities a day. During the period of invisibility, you are not allowed to move around or attack others. You can use it to protect yourself."

This time it was Xiao Shitou's turn to be frightened.

In his eyes.

The invisibility ring given by Matthew is a nobler wonder.

At Matthew's insistence, he could only accept it with great gratitude.

After a while.

Matthew watched as Peggy walked back to the brightly lit Cordo City with the small stone.

He weighed the piccolo in his hand.

Quickly came to the beach.

Matthew stood on the beach, playing the piccolo gently against the sea breeze and night tide.

He knew nothing about musical instruments, and he played nonsense.

But in the process of using it.

He could clearly feel that the piccolo in his hand was pulling a strange force.

That power is quite far away.

It's like being in the depths of the ocean.

There is an infinite distance between the two sides, making it difficult to get close at all.

Matthew played at the beach for about ten minutes.

Even her hair was messed up by the sea breeze.

Still no results.

"Strange, Xuan Kunzi doesn't seem like the kind of person who would abandon his friends' descendants..."

Just when Matthew was wondering if there was something wrong with his playing posture.

An extremely urgent voice came from the sea.

The sound was extremely ethereal at first.

But under the capture of Matthew's powerful perception, it became extremely clear in an instant——

"Help, help...help!"

Matthew was shocked!

That's Xuan Kunzi's voice!

As expected, the super giant turtle that once apprenticed to a certain Taoist priest did not appear near Wanfeng Pier again due to normal circumstances.

He must have encountered some kind of situation!

"Where are you?"

"what happened?"

Matthew tried to communicate with the other party.

But Xuan Kunzi's voice soon became weak, and Matthew tried his best to only hear one relatively vague word——

"Shipwreck".

"Where is the shipwreck?"

Despite doing a lot of homework ahead of time, Matthew was still confused about the vocabulary.

After that he tried again on the beach for nearly an hour.

Matthew gave up only after he could no longer get in touch with Xuan Kunzi.

He went to find Yu Lian again.

But Yu Lian also knew nothing about this word.

But he told Matthew.

This may be an undersea place name that only the deep-sea races know.

Maybe it would be easier to ask Naga.

Matthew no longer plans to continue looking for clues to the shipwreck in Cordo City.

The next day.

He sets off on a magic carpet to Junliu Island.

When his feet stepped on the land of Junliu Island again.

He suddenly felt a strange energy rushing towards his body from all directions!

That is……

Balanced power!

…

"Hint: Your equilibrium field resonates with the local "field: equilibrium"——

1. You have gained partial control of the Junliu Island field, and you have discovered some special locations on Junliu Island...

2. You have mastered a new field ability "Chaos Ball".

Chaos Ball: You can release a super huge colorful ball.

Targets shrouded in colorful balls will appear confused, such as left and right, indistinguishable, unclear between men and women, indistinguishable from friends and foes, and confusion.

Special: When you use Chaos Balls and Malicious Transformation on the target at the same time, and the duration lasts for more than fifteen minutes.

The transformed target's self-perception will be subverted.

Even if he becomes a human again afterwards.

He's still a goat at heart.

The same applies to other spells or abilities..."

…
