The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 386 "Matthew is destroyed!"

…

Matthew looked at Fan Zijue with burning eyes:

"How come you have so many good things in you?"

Fan Zijue smiled faintly:

"As long as you live long enough, you will have some inventory. If it were you, you might be richer than me."

“Many things that seemed ordinary at the time may become extremely precious in the next era.”

"Even if you collect a bunch of waste, in the long years, some of them will always find their use, and occasionally you will find one or two unexpected surprises - this is the charm of time."

Matthew's eyes showed curiosity:

"How long have you lived?"

Fan Zijue did not shy away, there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes:

"I was already in the underworld when the first batch of dusk creations arrived in Irondor."

Matthew was silent.

This is a pretty scary answer.

The lifespan of Dusk Creation far exceeds that of most gods in Tianlun Palace. Even the ancient gods before Tianlun Palace was not established may not be able to compare with it!

And is Fan Zijue actually an old guy on the same level as Twilight Creation?

I don’t know if there is an illusion.

Matthew felt his right hand was a little itchy, as if he was about to release the touch of death automatically...

But this does explain why Fan Zijue has so many treasures on his body.

It has survived through many generations.

Even though he was guarding a corner of the underworld and holding on to the title of messenger of the underworld, Fan Zijue should not be underestimated.

"No wonder the Spirit Touch Hall has no rival in the Demonic Realm of Ravenloft. If you think about it, unifying the underworld won't be a problem for you, right?"

Matthew looked at Fan Zijue with burning eyes.

Fan Zijue shook his head:

"you are wrong."

"I just lived a little longer. Although there is a general rule - that is, people who live longer are more likely to be stronger, but there are some exceptions, such as me."

"My strength is not as strong as you think. The reason why I can continue to this day is that I rarely make mistakes."

"I have seen many beings who are stronger than me and live longer than me, but they all made fatal mistakes, and then they experienced a cliff-like decline after a period of glory."

"In comparison, I prefer to do my own thing in a low-key manner."

Matthew felt a little emotional:

"You actually resisted the temptation to become a god."

Since Viscount Fan was a figure from the era when Creation of Dusk arrived in the world of Irondor.

Then when most living beings are pursuing the road to becoming gods.

There should be many opportunities in his life to be promoted to god.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he is willing to become a civil servant who clocks in daily under the command of Death.

Not everyone can make this choice.

Fan Zijue smiled.

He did not deny that he did have a chance to become a god.

He just explained softly:

"Not everyone wants to become a god, at least that's not my pursuit."

"I only care about the underworld, and I only hope it will be as eternal as the universe."

"In my opinion, the underworld is the cornerstone of the multiverse. As long as this cornerstone is maintained, no matter how windy or rainy it is outside, my world will remain as peaceful as ever. That's enough."

Fan Zijue's tone of voice was very cold, with the chill unique to creatures from the underworld.

But Matthew felt several real feelings.

"Not everyone aspires to move up the ladder, Matthew."

Fan Zijue rarely said a few more words:

"That would be too tiring."

"If possible, I just want to be a stone looking up at the stars in the underworld."

"The underworld is my hometown and the place where I will rest after my death."

"The starry sky is beautiful, but for me, just looking at it is enough."

Matthew was affected by Fan Zijue's words, and his heart became calmer.

Immediately he couldn't help but shook his head:

"Even if you don't want to climb up, the prerequisite for settling down is that you have enough strength, right?"

Fan Zijue blinked:

"certainly."

"The stone in the underworld is very hard."

"In fact, since the death of the God of Death, people from all walks of life have come to the underworld, some to explore secretly, and some to come and do random things——

Most of them heard that I was very rich and wanted to get some profit from me.

I’m actually quite grateful to them…”

Matthew wondered:

"Why?"

Fan Zijue said calmly:

"Because they worked very hard after they died."

"They work much harder than when they were alive..."

The corners of Matthew's mouth twitched slightly.

All right.

For a messenger from the underworld, such a cold joke is not too much.

After all, he also threatened those arsonists with similar cases.

present.

Matthew's eyes shifted back and forth between the three items.

His eyes looked a little troubled:

"Do I have to choose one of the three?"

"Can I have them all?"

Fan Zijue thought for a while:

"Of course it won't work if you want them all."

"But you can choose up to two."

Matthew suddenly looked surprised, but he soon calmed down:

"What are the conditions?"

Fan Zijue said:

"You help me hunt down someone."

Matthew asked tentatively:

"Isn't it because the matter on Shenlong Island hasn't been settled yet?"

Fan Zijue shook his head:

"It's done."

"While you were busy launching the undead natural disaster to destroy the world, Sen'er had already led people to destroy the base of the Hades Cult on Shenlong Island."

"That guy was very aggressive and directly detonated the volcano under the sea of ​​Shenlong Island. After that battle, the island sank below the sea level. There were almost no members of the Hades Cult on the island alive..."

"Like you, he also brought me a large number of souls, but those souls were intercepted by the Hades Cult. This coincides with my previous guess - the Hades Cult is secretly intercepting them. Souls that were supposed to go to the underworld!”

"But that guy Sen'er is not very honest. He hid something from me during this commission."

"He told me that he would use the poisonous fangs to break the Dragon Ring made by the Hades Cult, but in fact he did not do that, but stole the Dragon Ring through other means."

"So to this day, the two treasures, the Poison Fang and the Dragon's Ring, have fallen into Sen'er's hands. The functions of these two treasures are of great importance. You should understand what I mean..."

Matthew frowned:

"This price is not the price for killing Sen'er."

In fact.

Matthew knew very well that he couldn't kill Sen'er at all. As long as a wanderer at this level didn't seek death, he would definitely not die!

But it's a bargain.

Gotta bluff.

Fan Zijue was startled for a moment, then he laughed and said:

"I don't mean to let you deal with Sen'er. I just want to remind you that he has these two treasures in his hand. Isn't the relationship between you not very good? What if he plans to use those two treasures for something? , at least you can be prepared."

"The person I want you to kill is another person. His name is Hayek, and he is the deputy leader of the Cult of Hades."

"Hayek is one of the few survivors on Shenlong Island. According to Sen'er's description, this guy took away at least half of the treasures of the Hades Cult and is currently on the east coast. He is very likely to go north and enter Northland, or go to the Helen Mountains to live in seclusion for a while.”

Matthew wondered:

"Why continue to hunt?"

"Are you interested in the treasures of Hades?"

Fan Zijue shook his head:

"I just don't want anyone to lie to me."

"Matthew, you have dealt with me many times. I think I have always been a good talker. In business, fairness is what matters."

"I hope you can help me find Hayek. Before killing him, it's best to find out what happened on Shenlong Island."

Matthew shrugged:

"It goes without saying that Sen'er must have lied to you. Maybe he stole half of the treasure and then found someone to pretend to be the deputy leader of the Hades. It's even possible that the so-called Hayek actually lied to Sen'er. Made up out of thin air.”

Fan Zijue said with a serious face:

"Of course what you're talking about is possible, but I need evidence."

"Regarding Hayek, I can confirm that this character is real, and it is true that as Sener said, after the destruction of Shenlong Island, Hayek went ashore alone and is currently wandering in the south."

"He has a high status in the Cult of Hades. Before the Shenlong Island incident, this guy had been promoting the plan to find the Death Prophet..."

Death prophet?

Hearing this word, Matthew couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

He remembered that when he and Orolin met at the tombs, they did meet a group of people from the Cult of Hades.

Those people kept saying they wanted to ask the Death Prophet to do something.

Because it concerns Orolin.

Matthew naturally asked a few more questions:

"What kind of person is this?"

Fan Zijue glanced at Matthew, and then said thoughtfully:

"The Death Prophet is just a name and a title. Many people have used this title in history, but the most famous one should be a clone of the God of Death."

"During the heyday of Tianlun Palace, the God of Death liked to walk around the world. He would transform into various forms to experience the world of mortals. One of the more famous ones was the Death Prophet."

"He was a solitary adult man who was often encountered in the wilderness, but most of the time he was sleeping."

"The Death Prophet likes to play pranks very much. He always likes to pretend to be a dead person lying in a coffin, and then stage a show of pretending to be a corpse. He even often plays similar pranks in the funeral procession. Therefore, for a long time, his reputation has not been not so good."

"And in a certain era, that was also the period when the Death Prophet was most active. He appeared at the scene of disasters many times and gave death warnings to nearby creatures."

"In about a short period of just a hundred years, the Death Prophet informed all living beings in advance of disasters such as the coming of tsunamis, sudden avalanches, fires without warning, and the coming locust plague. Over time, he became a very loud voice in Irondor. visibility.”

"But people have mixed opinions about him. Some people think that the Death Prophet can predict the future and can always give warnings. He is a kind-hearted person."

"Some people believe that the warnings of the Death Prophet have never changed the outcome of disasters. Looking back in hindsight, his warnings have no meaning except increasing panic. Some people even suspect that those disasters were caused by the Death Prophet. Without warning, disasters would have It won't happen. This kind of statement is very popular in many city-states in the north..."

"But in my opinion, it was just the Lord Death looking for some fun for himself when he was bored. In fact, he didn't think much about it at all."

The Death Prophet is actually the incarnation of Death?

Matthew's heart trembled.

Then isn't Brother Olorin...

He hurriedly asked:

"The Death Prophet you mentioned, does he like to use fireball?"

Fan Zijue shook his head, and then looked at him with strange eyes:

"As far as I know, the Death Prophet transformed by Lord Death has not used fireball. In his long career, there has been no precedent of using fireball. Well, it doesn't exist in my memory anyway."

"On the contrary, Lord Death has always felt that simple and crude spells such as fireball are simply insulting to the name of magic. He once approached the goddess of magic Ye Li and asked her to remove fireball from magic."

"The reason he told the goddess of magic Ye Li is that the fireball technique is too low-end, not mysterious enough, and affects the dignity of magic. But as far as I know, the deeper reason is probably his friend and opponent-the sun god Gerald. The reason why he always likes to use fireball to target Him..."

Sun God Gerald likes to use fireball?

Matthew's expression became a little subtle.

There should be no need for Fan Zijue to lie about this kind of thing, and based on his experience, it is reasonable to know something about the God of Death and the God of the Sun.

If that's the case.

Then the origin of Oluolin is a bit interesting...

Fan Zijue looked at Matthew curiously:

"What's your expression?"

Matthew coughed:

"I just didn't expect big shots to be so... naive?"

Fan Zijue chuckled:

"Sometimes big people are a lot more naive than you think!"

"Speaking of which, from the teachings of the Hades that I have learned, they firmly believe that there is a God of Hades above the God of Death. When the rule of the God of Death comes to an end, the God of Hades will come to the underworld to take charge of everything."

"According to them, Hades will descend into the body of the Death Prophet, replace the incarnation and authority of Death, and then become the supreme ruler of the underworld. For this reason, Hayek has been looking for the Death Prophet. Unfortunately, since Death disappeared, After that, the Death Prophet disappeared completely, and no one could find his hiding place."

"If I had to guess, he might be sleeping in some corner right now!"

Matthew scratched his head inwardly, secretly thinking that Fan Zijue was really good at judging people.

His relationship with Fan Zijue is actually very good.

But the Death Prophet thing is a little touchy.

Matthew promised Olorin to cause him as little trouble as possible, so he chose to hold back a little.

He said decisively:

"I can deal with that Hayek for you and find out the truth about Sener and Shenlong Island."

"Of these three items, I want to take away the meat cleaver and the combination of the Eight-pole Celestial Instrument and the Wings of Fufeng."

As he spoke, he reached out and took what he wanted.

Fan Zijue did not stop him.

He just said with some surprise:

"I thought you wouldn't miss the Sun God's weapon."

Matthew shrugged:

"I want it too, but life-saving items are better."

"As for the Baji Celestial Instrument and the Wings of Fu Feng, I just conquered the sampan plane and you sent me such a treasure. Of course I have no reason to refuse."

The sampan plane is a ferry boat that travels between the material world and the astral world.

Matthew took the ship though.

But when and which dock to dock at, Matthew couldn't decide.

And with the Baji Celestial Instrument and the Wings of Fufeng.

He can then control the sampan plane to travel between specific worlds.

This will greatly enhance Matthew's control over the new territory.

Moreover, this pair also contains a business route to the Eastern Continent, which Matthew cannot miss.

The meat cleaver is a life-saving item.

Matthew has always been open to life-saving props.

Especially after experiencing this undead natural disaster, deep down in his heart, he was actually more eager to improve his strength.

However, the improvement of magic power cannot be achieved overnight.

And it has only been a little over a year since he first summoned Philoleus.

Matthew’s progress can already be described as the speed of light!

For a mage.

He actually needs time to settle and digest.

But in the current situation.

It seems that quiet development has become a very luxurious situation.

Even though she has Isabel’s patron saint.

Matthew also had to make extra preparations.

As for the Sun God Spear.

"Anyway, it's in Fan Zijue's hands. Just save up more souls and exchange them with him next time..."

Matthew thought so.

For a moment.

He even came up with the idea of ​​causing another undead disaster!

Fortunately, his reason dispelled it in time.

"Greed is really terrible..."

Matthew was secretly alert.

But at this time.

The death canopy suddenly began to shake violently.

The two original projections of the God of Death have become substantial to varying degrees.

Immediately afterwards.

Accompanied by a strange wailing sound from heaven and earth.

The projection of the third god of death has arrived!

Matthew's pupils shrank——

The facial details of this projection of the God of Death are quite clear, and you can almost see the hair on the God of Death's face!

The other party's extremely cold and domineering expression was also lifelike.

Matthew had a feeling that the other party was about to "come alive"!

…

"Tip: Under the impetus of the Death Sky, you automatically summoned the third Death God projection, and the intensity of the Undead Scourge continues to increase...

Warning: The Death Canopy has a slight backlash on you! "

…

that moment.

Matthew felt that the blood in his chest was boiling, and there was a rush of heat, trying to shake off Matthew's hands and feet, and wander freely between heaven and earth.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted a moment.

Matthew did not hesitate to use the "authority: Father of the Immortal" he had just obtained to suppress him severely!

"Being attacked by the undead natural disaster?"

Fan Zijue was originally attracted by the projection of the God of Death.

But soon.

He looked at Matthew with a serious expression.

Matthew nodded slightly:

"It's not a big problem."

"I can suppress it."

Fan Zijue hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative and said:

"The projections of these three gods of death will contribute to the natural disaster of the undead. At this point, their existence is harmful rather than beneficial to you."

Matthew agrees with his statement:

"I see."

"After a while, I will start to disband the undead natural disasters. I will not give them a chance to get out of control."

Fan Zijue nodded and said:

"Let me help you."

"It just so happens that I can use the power of Lord Death to improve the level of the lost lantern."

Said.

He took the stray lantern from Matthew.

The next second.

Fan Zijue's figure suddenly appeared above the death sky.

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

This was the first time he saw Fan Zijue take action in person!

What he faced was the projection of the God of Death.

But Fan Zijue bowed slightly towards the projection of the three gods of death, and then raised the lost lantern in his hand high.

In an instant.

The three Death God projections actually spoke at the same time:

"You want to detain me?"

Fan Zijue waved his robe expressionlessly, his lips slightly opened, and then, a sharp whistle like a ghost crying or a wolf howling burst out from Fan Zijue's chest and abdomen.

Buzz!

Matthew subconsciously covered his ears, but he still felt a splitting headache!

And above the sky.

The projections of the three gods of death instantly turned into countless black bats, scurrying and escaping in all directions!

Fan Zijue continued to scream, and then threw out the lantern in his hand.

Those black bats blended into the lantern involuntarily.

five minutes later.

The starry sky above the sky was clear, and the projection of the God of Death was no longer visible.

But the lantern in Fan Zijue's hand was shining brightly, as bright and timeless as a star.

He handed the lantern to Matthew:

"alright."

"Now, those vicious resentments will no longer affect your spells."

Matthew asked:

"You mean, the projection of the God of Death is actually a vicious resentment?"

Fan Zijue nodded:

"They are a collection of resentments of the creatures you killed through the undead natural disaster. From the perspective of negative energy, they can add power to the undead natural disaster and have the effect of fueling the flames."

"This in itself is a phenomenon in which spells and ritual sites leverage the external manifestation of the laws of the plane - because the imprint of Lord Death is still firmly imprinted on every field related to it, these groups of resentments will use Lord Death to appeared in front of us."

"But you don't have to worry about them, because it's impossible for the real God of Death to appear in this level of projection. These are just superficial shells!"

Fan Zijue's tone seemed a little sad.

But after saying this, he put on the crow mask.

This means preparing to say goodbye.

Matthew was sensible and didn't ask any further questions.

He looked down at the enhanced Lost Lantern.

…

"Record: Fan Zijue used the legendary ability "Death Scream" to destroy the projection of the God of Death!

Tip: Your Lost Lantern has been greatly enhanced. The following are the enhanced or new functions -

1. The number of spirits that the lost lantern can hold reaches 100,000.

2. Fan Zijue's Soul Chain: After activating this special effect, the Lost Lantern will project a large number of soul chains within a radius of 300 meters to arrest nearby spirits.

This chain has a strong suppressing, restraining and arresting effect on the soul body.

The effect on living people is reduced to one-fifth of normal conditions.

Available three times daily.

3. Fan Zijue's Death Scream: The Lost Lantern emits Fan Zijue's scream, which is extremely lethal to souls and those who specialize in psychic abilities.

Available three times daily.

4. Dusk Wings (pseudo-legendary/boss template): The Dusk Wings that can be summoned by the Lost Lantern have been greatly improved.

Now.

Your Twilight Wings have a creature level of LV23.

When you are walking in the underworld or the negative energy plane, Dusk Wings will be a better flying mount! "

…

Duskwing is an ugly flying mount.

Its head has protruding teeth like a mouse, and its head is like a bat;

Its cortical skin is tight on the skeleton, its eyes are empty, its body is covered with mottled bone plates, and a pair of giant wings extend from its shoulders;

If it weren't for the flickering soul fire from time to time, people would realize that this was an undead creature.

Most of the time it looks more like a skeletal specimen.

Matthew has never ridden the Wings of Dusk before, mainly because the previous flying mount was not of a high level.

He has the Red Flame Nightmare and the Celestial Pegasus as his companions, so naturally he doesn't take much notice of them.

It's different now.

Fan Zijue raised the level of Twilight Wings to the legendary realm. Although it has no domain and does not meet the definition of a true legend, there has indeed been a real improvement in attributes.

Matthew plans to try summoning it next time he goes to the negative energy plane.

At the same time, what made him even more curious was——

How on earth did Fan Zijue raise the creature level of a creature that was obviously not a legendary creature to over level 20?

But Matthew had second thoughts.

Fan Zijue has lived for so many years and has countless good things in his hands.

There are even weird things like magic guilds.

Making pseudo-legendary creatures is not difficult at all.

After sending away Fan Zijue.

The ruins of the Night Angel City fell into a dead silence.

Matthew continues to search the city for loot.

At the same time, he also took the time to check on the situation of Jade Cangting.

In the chat room of the Magic Guild.

Lines of records flowed before Matthew's eyes.

The record he looked at was from some time ago, and the chat room was quite active at that time——

…

"Loran: Did you see it? Matthew is dead!

Bobo: What a terrifying power. Are those Matthew’s claws? so big!

Richard: Mages are indeed perverts, especially necromancers!

Rhaegar: Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand it? Did I miss something again? What the hell did Matthew do again? It wasn't mentioned in today's newspaper...

Lumiere: +1

Lumiere: Sorry, I clicked the wrong button again, but I really don’t know what Matthew did in detail. I only know that he hurriedly got into a cave alone before, and then asked us to stand by in the Moonglade.

Lumière: Wait, why do you know what happened? Aren't we in the same place? @Bobo

Lorraine: Let me give you some tips. Increase your perception, or change your profession to a bard.

Rhaegar: What does this have to do with perception? I've always been very sharp! Many ladies say this!

Hibbert: Is Matthew here? Something happened. Well, I'm not very good at using this chat room function. Can anyone tell me how to chat with Matthew privately?

Guild Elf Xixi: I have already privately messaged you, @Hibbert"

…

See here.

Matthew immediately looked at the private chat box.

But Hibbert said this:

"Something big happened in Jade Cangting!"

"Trast suddenly came back and went on a killing spree in the city. He killed many elves, which caught us off guard."

"Feliwen and I are very confused now. Should we help the elves who are defenseless, or should we help Terrast..."

This message was sent about an hour ago.

Matthew had missed it before not paying attention.

Later, Hibbert added another message:

"Okay, we decided not to help each other, you can do your thing."

Terraste suddenly went on a killing spree?

Matthew frowned.

I feel like there's something wrong.

This old guy entrusted himself with the dirty work just because he couldn't bear to kill his own compatriots.

Why did you suddenly change your gender again?

It couldn't be that he was stimulated by his own undead natural disaster, right?

Think so.

Matthew plans to take an early trip to Windward Valley.

But at this time.

Peggy suddenly came over to tell the news:

"Matthew, there is a magic ship parked at the edge of the Crystal Forest to the south!"

"Standing on the boat is that pretty boy who has been having an affair with you for a long time..."

Matthew's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!", but he still followed Peggy and hurried over.

Three minutes later.

Edge of the Crystal Forest.

Matthew looked at Setrunk standing on the deck of the magic ship.

The latter held a deck of playing cards in his hand and said with a smile on his face:

"How about we get on board and play a game?"

"That's my bet."

Said.

He placed a brassy book on the gaming table in front of him.

Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly.

That is……

Senel's "Book of Twisted Equilibrium"? !

…
