The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Seeing that the thick tongue was about to lick Matthew and others, a white light flashed at the critical moment, and Peggy, who transformed into the Valkyrie of the Moon, immediately cut it off.

Suddenly.

A strong stench filled the surface of the lake.

The tongue fell down.

Countless jet-black flames burst out from the huge Buddha's head.

Immediately afterwards.

Those flames turned into countless black and purple tongues, licking upward fiercely.

Paige's figure turned into streaks of white light.

She was very fast, swimming in the black flames like a graceful white butterfly.

Philoleus also flew violently above the lake. The bone dragon sprayed out a large amount of poison and tore the tongues hard.

A portal appeared behind him.

A large number of undead creatures poured in crazily.

Above the lake.

Many undead creatures fell directly into the lake, but they seemed to be able to swim. They splashed in the lake a few times and climbed up by grabbing the edge of the Buddha's head.

For a while.

A large number of undead creatures crawl on the surface of the Buddha.

They were like black and white maggots or ants, stubbornly resisting the attacks of the thick tongues on the Buddha's head.

These tongues are truly terrifying.

However, the undead army had no fear. Under the orders of Philoleus, the undead people quickly gained the advantage in the situation.

A large number of tongues were cut off by the roots.

Even the eyes in the Buddha's head were gouged out by A Bing and Forty-Seven!

Seeing that the younger brothers under his command all showed their special abilities, they temporarily stabilized the situation.

Matthew also breathed a sigh of relief. He forcibly held down the bamboo stick behind his back that was about to move——

Since the first time Lance appeared.

This spiritual weapon is intended to give the other party some color.

But Matthew felt it would be too wasteful to just use it like this.

Before coming to Jade Cangting.

Matthew has done in-depth research on the group of magicians, and he is confident that he can deal with the legendary magicians with his own strength!

Look how lively the fight is below.

Oluolin suddenly said with hindsight:

"Do you need me to throw a fireball?"

Matthew shook his head repeatedly:

"No, but I did encounter a special situation and may need your help, so I chose to assemble indiscriminately."

"I thought you wouldn't respond to my call..."

O'Loughlin said of course:

"Hey, Matthew, what you said is obvious. I just like to sleep in, and I'm not an indifferent guy to my friends."

"But having said that, this summons is really not at the right time."

Matthew asked:

"How to say?"

"What were you doing when I summoned you?"

O'Loughlin said:

"I arrived in a brand new underground city. When I entered the city gate, I met a group of drow. They seemed to have heard of my reputation. As soon as they saw me, they told me, 'You can't go inside again!'... "

Matthew asked:

"Then how did you originally plan to respond?"

Oluolin spread his hands:

"I'm going to fill their mouths with fireballs!"

"Look, I've already started rubbing it. Can you just throw one in..."

"No, I can't hold it in anymore!"

boom!

A fierce flame passed over the lake.

A terrifying explosion spread from the lake more than a hundred meters away.

Countless water waves rolled back around.

A series of inwardly concave waves formed.

A large amount of white gas rose on the lake, even the Buddha's head and the nearby undead were affected!

"Yang Yan Burst?"

"who are you?"

"Why would a lich like you work for an ignorant mage?"

Lance's surprised voice came from the surrounding mirrors.

But O'Loughlin didn't answer him at all.

Until Matthew pushed his shoulder.

Only then did he realize:

"Oh, are you talking to me?"

"But I just used the ordinary fireball technique..."

A long green light flashed on the sixteen mirrors.

Along with the changes in the surrounding light.

The Buddha's head on the lake suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The legendary warlock Lance fell into a long silence.

At this moment.

God of War Zombie Vasnov spoke:

"He has changed his mind and plans to use delay to kill you."

"If I read it correctly, this is the space of evil thoughts of the magician. Only the magician with extremely powerful spiritual power is qualified to create such a vast, vast and extremely real spiritual power plane."

Matthew nodded to Vasnov:

"This is indeed a space of evil thoughts. The person who pulled me in was Lance."

Vasnov snorted softly:

"Ah, I remember him, a sinister and cunning lunatic, who seduced the Elf Queen that many people in Tianlun Palace miss, and almost made the Prime Material Realm a breeding ground for the proliferation of void masters."

Matthew knew that Vasnov was definitely more authoritative than everyone present in terms of knowledge.

His memory had not recovered before, but now it seems that he has remembered many things.

So Matthew asked directly:

"How much do you know about warlocks?"

Vasnov said calmly:

"Warlocks must be the most spiritually powerful among humans."

"Only in this way can they sense the call of the overlord from outside the territory. Since they themselves do not have the ability to cast spells, they need to obtain spells through communication with the overlord."

"For these reasons, the number of spells mastered by warlocks is not large, but each spell is usually very powerful."

"Warlocks have extremely exaggerated requirements for mental power. They will use many incredible methods to improve their mental power. If most of them do not have sufficient ether affinity ability, they will become more powerful than mages. A more powerful group.”

Olorin couldn't help but interjected:

"So how do warlocks usually exercise their mental power?"

Vasnov glanced at him and replied:

"Experience all aspects of life."

"In a sense, the method used by warlocks to enhance their spiritual power is similar to that of warlocks' awakening. They both require extreme emotions to stimulate themselves."

"It's just that the warlock stimulates the soul, while the warlock stimulates the blood."

"As far as I know, some high-level warlocks will experience different stimulations by attaching their souls to the bodies of others."

"For example, a woman who has been insulted, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, a weak person whose family has been destroyed...the pain, joy, sorrow, and despair of these creatures can stimulate their souls and make their spiritual power continue to grow."

"Because it is very troublesome to passively search for creatures that are experiencing extreme stimulation, many magicians like to actively create human tragedies in order to attach themselves to various living creatures to improve themselves."

"But this improvement is not without cost. In most cases, negative emotions are far more powerful than positive emotions. Therefore, most warlocks use negative emotions to stimulate the soul, which will cause a hidden danger. ——

When they use the pain of the weak to stimulate their own spirits, a spirituality called evil thoughts will also accumulate in their souls.

These evil thoughts are the curse of the soul possessed by them when they are on the verge of collapse.

When enough evil thoughts are combined together, a new evil consciousness will emerge.

Once this consciousness arises, it will reside in the sorcerer's soul and slowly replace it.

This process is irreversible and there is no solution.

The only way to delay it is to create a cage for this evil consciousness.

This is the origin of the space of evil thoughts.

In fact, he is not the enemy of the magician.

It's a self-protection measure.

After all, the legendary magician can kill many opponents with his mental power alone, so bringing enemies into the space of evil thoughts is a high-risk, low-return thing..."

"If our opponent is really Lance, then it means that he is a little too confident."

Bang bang bang!

Oluolin clapped his hands vigorously:

“Excellent science popularization!”

"You look so majestic and extraordinary - you were also tricked into joining the team by Matthew?"

Matthew immediately corrected him:

"Hey, Oralin, I didn't lie to you."

Eurolin looked at Matthew resentfully:

"Yes, you didn't lie to me."

"But you used force."

Vasnov looked at Eurolin with the same interest:

"The legendary lich?"

Then he looked at Matthew:

"Oh, you are indeed more unscrupulous than I thought."

"Don't tell me that you used serious means to make this Mr. Lich obey you."

Matthew held out his hands to stop the two guys.

His expression was quite serious:

"Gentlemen, there is a legendary warlock lurking beside us!"

"Let's think about how to get rid of this evil space first!"

Vasnov looked calm and relaxed:

"Don't be nervous, the space of evil thoughts is not the Kingdom of God, and it does not have that much suppression on outsiders."

"Have you not noticed that our spells, abilities, and even physical attacks are all real and effective?"

"This means that the warlock's control over the space of evil thoughts does not reach the level of tampering with the rules."

"This place will only suppress your concentration level and speed up the consumption of your mental power."

"Here, his only advantage is his almost unlimited mental power."

"If I guess correctly, he will consume us with one crisis after another. When our mental power continues to decline, our bodies will become more and more exhausted."

"At that time, it is possible to sink into this illusion forever."

"But you have divinity in your hands, you can delay it for a long, long time..."

When Matthew heard what he said, he knew that Vasnov must have a way to deal with the magician.

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

While talking to him, Matthew was alert to the changes around him.

I don’t know if the presence of Olorin and Vasnov shocked Lance.

After the previous fireball.

Time in the space of evil thoughts seems to have stopped.

Except for the green light.

Matthew sensed nothing.

Vasnov said leisurely:

"I really didn't expect Lance to send you to his evil space. Haha, we can try to find his spiritual origin here——

This is not difficult. The spiritual origin of a magician often coexists with his evil thoughts, and evil thoughts are the most conspicuous existence in the space of evil thoughts.

We just need to find Lance's evil thoughts.

You can find his spiritual origin.

After that, I can teach you a method through which you can directly devour Lance's spiritual origin.

Although it is possible to be contaminated by evil thoughts.

But as long as you don't do it often, this evil thought will not develop and grow.

The spiritual source you devour will greatly enhance your mental power, thereby increasing your concentration level.

I think for any mage.

This is an excellent opportunity right now, right? "

As he spoke, his eyes wandered in the sixteen mirrors around him:

"Most people would probably think that these mirrors are used to deal with outsiders."

"Actually, no, these mirrors are just cages, used by magicians to trap evil thoughts!"

"His spiritual origin is in a subspace behind these sixteen mirrors. Do you want to have a taste of the magician?"

Vasnov's voice was full of temptation.

Matthew was unmoved:

"Say your terms."

Vasnov immediately said:

"I will take you to find your spiritual origin and teach you the secret method of devouring it, but you have to give me half of Lance's spiritual power!"

Matthew raised his eyebrows:

"A quarter at most!"

Vasnov didn’t even think about it:

"make a deal!"

Matthew was a little confused:

"Your bottom line is so low?"

Vasnov took it for granted:

"You are the boss, you have the final say. To me, whatever I get is earned."

Matthew didn't even have time to sigh that this guy's mentality was quite good.

The illusion all around suddenly disappeared!

Immediately afterwards.

A huge force pushed them out from somewhere!

"Hey, no, let us go in..."

Vasnov hasn't finished speaking yet.

Matthew's feet stepped firmly on the wooden floor.

He looked around.

The empty bud door is still open.

They have returned to Windward Valley!

It's just that Matthew appeared out of thin air with such a wave of undead, which immediately caused some panic in the valley, especially Philolius' huge size and terrifying image, which triggered a series of screams!

Matthew turned a blind eye to this.

Because it's fast.

He once again sensed the aura of the legendary magician——

Lance, dressed in gentleman's uniform, stood expressionlessly on the edge of the wooden platform.

His eyes were a little complicated:

"The Valkyrie of the Moon, the legendary lich, the false god whose spiritual power is so powerful that no one can understand... the content of your discussion just now scares me!"

"I really didn't expect that a less-than-legendary necromancer could possess such outstanding undead as you!"

"To be honest, I want to be friends with you..."

"Actually, you can live quite well without Matthew, right?"

The words fell.

Matthew's inner warning signs suddenly appeared!

…

"Warning: Warlock Lance is using Bewitch and Incite on your minions!

He's trying to turn your followers against you!

Your ability "Defend to Death" (Tauren Domain) has taken effect!

Your minions are immune to the sorcerer Lance's bewitchment and incitement...

Your tauren authority breeding progress is increased by 11% (resistance)!

Current pregnancy progress: 55%"

…

Want to incite rebellion against my followers?

Matthew's heart pounded and he became angry.

He grabbed Oluolin's sleeve:

"Become one with me!"

Unexpectedly, the latter said with an embarrassed look:

"This is not good, Matthew."

Matthew could only do the next best thing and pointed at Lance:

"Smash him with fireballs!"

"Remember to aim!"

Olorin said cheerfully:

"That's no problem!"

Langs face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but growled:

"Matthew!"

"Your methods are destined to be in vain against the Mark of the Dead!"

"And if you do this, you will offend a lot of people. Don't you know how many people want to kill you and then make it quick?"

"You have become Isabel's pawn. It's still too late to turn back in time!"

Facing the bewitchment of the sorcerer.

Matthew directly raised his hand:

"There are many people who want to be pawns but have no chance."

"How do you know that I am not a chess piece willingly?"

The next second.

Eight tentacles swept out from under the wooden platform and grabbed the warlock's body.

Lance's windbreaker suddenly shriveled up.

Crackling.

A few gold coins fell to the ground.

Vasnov took a look and said:

"It's a clone. His body has left the material world. Ha, what a cautious guy, what a clever escape route..."

Then he looked at the brighter and brighter fire around him with some confusion and asked:

"The enemies have run away, why are you still rubbing?"

Olorin said with a smile:

"You don't know this, right?"

"My fireball will hold a grudge!"

The next second.

The fireball, about one meter in diameter, slammed out. The fireball burned Lance's windbreaker, ignited the flower buds next to it, and then suddenly disappeared into the void!

Two minutes later.

Such a message suddenly flashed on Matthew's data bar.

…

"Tip: Your partner Orolin destroyed the "Three Eyes Tavern" in the sampan plane!

The warlock Lance was hit from behind by a fireball, seriously injured and losing his hair...

Warlock Lance’s hatred towards you is +10!

The Dragon God will have +1 hatred for you! "

…

A fireball that can attack across dimensions?

Somewhat outrageous.

At this time, Matthew and others had left the original platform.

After confirming safety, he sent most of the undead back to their original places, leaving only Peggy, Orolin and Vasnov.

"So what you said before, that there is really a way to swallow the spiritual origin of others?"

Matthew asked Vasnov.

The latter nodded and said:

"certainly."

"Sea Elf Meditation, haven't you heard of it?"

Matthew was slightly surprised:

"The principle of sea elf meditation is to swallow other people's spiritual power?"

Vasnov chuckled and said:

"Then do you think there are other ways to quickly improve spiritual power in this world?"

"The people who originally created this secret method did not want outsiders to know the secret, so they deliberately created a confusing name when naming it. They did not want this secret method to be spread widely."

Eurolin asked curiously:

"Is it because you are afraid that once this secret technique spreads, the whole world will become a world where people cannibalize people?"

Vasnov shook his head:

"no."

"I'm worried that after others obtain the secret method, they will eat up the people they want to eat."

Matthew shuddered after hearing this.

What kind of race are sea elves?

Why are the Sea Elf Meditation Technique and the Sea Elf Reincarnation Technique so evil?

He glanced at Vasnov.

Perhaps the naming of this secret method is not just as simple as the creator wanting to confuse the eyes of outsiders.

"Then you pass the secret method to me first."

Matthew pondered.

Peggy asked curiously:

"But haven't we all been kicked out of that space?"

Matthew shrugged:

"I left two spell coordinates in his evil space."

"I may not be able to visit in the future."

Olorin also said with a smile:

"By coincidence, I also left two transparent bones on the lake."

Peggy looked at Matthew and then at O'Loughlin, and couldn't help but comment sharply:

"You two have the same chemistry."

Then she hooked Vasnov's shoulders:

"Fortunately, we have two relatively simple minds, which can make our team look less evil and greasy."

But at this time.

Both Matthew and O'Loughlin's expressions changed.

"Damn it, my spell coordinates were discovered!"

Matthew sighed.

Oluolin was also a little downcast:

"My bones too..."

At this moment.

Vasnov quietly got out of Peggy's arms and gave Matthew a wink.

Matthew understood and threw down an upgraded version of the sound barrier.

"I left a psychic worm inside."

"I controlled the wandering insect to hide in a mirror, and he hasn't noticed my existence yet."

Vasnov whispered:

"I'm looking for his spiritual origin. When I find it, we'll teleport directly across dimensions and eat him clean!"

"But I need some time, the insects crawl very slowly..."

"Three days at most!"

Matthew looked at him suspiciously:

"You haven't found your spiritual origin and are secretly eating alone, right?"

Vasnov said helplessly:

"We have signed a deep contract. You can also control the insects I release!"

"Wait, you can watch, but don't take action, I'm afraid your manipulation will be discovered by him!"

Matthew had a thought in his mind.

Through his contract with the God of War Zombie, he found a new perspective, which was a worm swimming on a pitch-black water!

He directly took over Vasnov's perspective and authority, and after confirming that the latter was not lying, he withdrew from the worm's sight with satisfaction.

The data column is displayed.

Tauren element +1.

"Good guy, does this count?"

Matthew couldn't help but plan to control the wandering insects for a while longer.

They then left the somewhat turbulent Windward Valley.

When returning to the mage camp near the Mark of the Dead.

Peggy asked:

"That stinky sissy said it was just a warning."

"What are you going to do next?"

Matthew was thinking about this very quickly as well.

Cetrunk and the Silver Frost Brotherhood behind it, the warlock Lance and the Scourge Order that are closely related to it, the Elders of the Wood Elves, Baruch's Dragon God Society, the entrance to the star realm, There are other potential enemies... The small Windward Valley can no longer be described as harboring filth and evil!

This group of lunatics are already the sworn enemies of the Alliance.

Warlock Lance's move was more like a tentative clarion call.

There are countless people watching from behind.

If Matthew doesn't do anything, similar things will only happen more and more!

There was no way he would back down.

However, this means that he will face a pervasive assassination operation!

unless……

"I plan to strike first!"

Matthew made a decisive decision.

Peggy asked not surprisingly:

"Tomorrow?"

Matthew shook his head:

"Right now!"

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and started writing:

"Send me this emergency recruitment order for Alliance mages! I am now a second-level council member, and I have this authority..."

"Ordinary members of the Mark of the Dead project? No need to call them, I have other plans for them."

"Take this and return to the cemetery, then find Fandral or David in the Crucible House. The sooner the better!"

"Me? Of course I have other tasks..."

Matthew quickly wrote a scroll and handed it to Peggy. A moment later, his figure disappeared into the night.

…

After one hour.

A shocking news spread throughout Jade Cangting and its surrounding areas.

When the tree-planting mage Matthew was having fun in the Windward Valley, he was attacked by the legendary warlock Lance, which triggered a riot in the Windward Valley.

The latter survived the attack unscathed.

The former was seriously injured. Although his life is not in danger at the moment, it will take a long time to recover.

For this reason, even the newly restarted S-class project may be implicated...

As soon as the news came out.

The senior officials of Jade Cangting and many forces in the south are confirming its authenticity.

Many shadows are ready to move in the darkness.

Most people don't understand the real situation.

But what is certain is that they found that all the Alliance mages who were actively promoting the Scorched Earth Plan of Death had returned to Matthew's camp.

None of the mages showed any sign of leaving.

As for what exactly happened inside.

Naturally, outsiders don’t know.

at the same time.

An inconspicuous cabin quite far away from the Trace of the Dead.

A figure appeared here.

This is a hidden safe house set up by the Seven Saints Alliance near Jade Cangting.

The safe house is vacant most of the time.

It will only be enabled in emergencies.

Inside the safe house.

Matthew's eyes swept over everyone present.

In addition to myself, there are four Alliance mages who responded to this emergency recruitment order——

Hibbert.

Feliwen.

Hood.

And the legendary mage Mulan, known as the Shield of Gemstone Mountain.

I really didn’t expect this last Matthew.

He originally thought that it would be good if he could call the first three.

As for issuing an emergency recruitment order, it is to obtain some dispatchable emergency resources.

Like this secluded safe house.

Faced with Matthew's confused gaze.

Mulan smiled and explained:

"I happened to be capturing a demon near here, but I lost the clue about the demon. Anyway, it's nothing. After receiving your news, I thought about coming over to have a look."

Matthew nodded slightly:

"This trip might be a little dangerous."

Mulan smiled and said:

"What could be more dangerous than dealing with demons?"

Matthew thought for a while:

"I plan to fight to the star realm."

Mulan was shocked.

Immediately he showed an incredible look:

"Did I hear correctly?"

"Wait a minute, aren't you planting trees near the Scar of the Dead and doing some kind of protective umbrella project?"

"Why are you suddenly attacking the star realm?"

Matthew didn't answer.

He just looked at Mulan calmly.

The latter showed a hint of interest:

"Can."

"I heard the news that you were attacked on the way here. Young people have a hot temper..."

"I understand the rules, I'll join, and you will be the main commander."

"But I must explain in advance that I am only good at protective spells and not very good at fighting. If you expect me to defeat some powerful enemies, you may be miscalculating."

Matthew nodded:

"Your Excellency is welcome to join us."

"My plan is currently divided into two phases."

"The first stage is to clear out Jade Cangting. The focus is on attacking the evil organizations in Windward Valley."

"The second stage is to find the passage connecting the windward valley to the star realm. Then we will go straight to Huanglong and destroy the springboard called the sampan plane!"

Mulan asked:

"So let's do phase one first?"

Matthew shook his head:

"I plan to carry out both stages at the same time!"

"Do you have any ideas?"

…
