The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 481 The Stubborn and the Wanderer!

…

There are quite a lot of people coming to the Treasure Conference tonight.

Matthew's initial estimate was that there were at least two to three thousand people, and the number of contestants who could directly participate in the Treasure Conference and the star realm dignitaries in the major boxes was around two hundred.

The Starlight Theater built by the Mantis is a semi-open-air theater.

The stage in the center is located under the open star dome. The starlight itself is romantic enough, supplemented by the lighting system built by Stuluk Industries.

Its overall expressiveness on the stage is no less than that of the world before Matthew's time travel.

"There are too many people..."

Matthew silently controlled the range of perception.

In this environment, even if his mental strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, it is difficult to quickly find the abnormal points in the crowd, and he can only try to remain alert.

While Matthew was observing the theater environment.

The richest mantis man on the stage has successfully completed the opening.

Amid the heartfelt applause, he easily attracted everyone's attention and made the audience laugh with a few jokes from time to time.

Matthew looked at Christopher who was strolling on the stage, chatting and laughing, with a trace of doubt in his eyes:

"This Mr. Mantis Man..."

"He really doesn't look like a traditional wealthy businessman."

Melinda chuckled and said:

"Your senses are sharp."

"In my eyes, this guy is more like an actor."

Said.

Under Matthew's questioning gaze.

Melinda explained in detail:

"Christopher is just the apparent owner of Hume's three-star fortune."

"His wife Serena, who is also a Mantis, is the second-in-command in the psychic management department of Stuluk Industries headquarters."

"Christopher knew his situation."

"If he doesn't do his job well, not only will a huge amount of wealth be taken away from him, but he may even be eaten by that proud female mantis——"

"I mean literally eating it!"

Melinda sneered twice:

"In the past ten years, that bitch Serena has had three husbands, and Hume, the three-star mantis richest man, has also had three husbands..."

Matthew nodded:

"So, the second in command of the psychic department is the owner of all the wealth of Hume Samsung."

Unexpectedly, Melinda still shook her head:

"Most people can just ask about Serena."

"But as far as I know, Serena became the lover of "The General" when she was very young..."

"After the big tear, her life was more difficult than mine. She must have been implicated by the general's departure."

"So the huge wealth of Hume Three Stars essentially belongs to the general."

There was a flash of realization in Matthew's eyes.

The so-called general.

He was the strong man in the original Necron army who was responsible for the full management of the planet Stuluk.

Matthew was vaguely aware of his presence.

"Do Necrons also find lovers?"

he asked suddenly.

Melinda said of course:

"certainly."

"The undead also have needs. Although they cannot directly handle personnel, they can use props."

"hehe……"

"You may not believe it, but these undead souls who cannot express their desires like living people are more aggressive and perverted than ordinary people..."

He seemed to notice the subtle change in Matthew's eyes.

Melinda raised her neck proudly:

"I've never been played by them."

"I played them all."

Matthew smiled faintly:

"very good."

He had no interest in it.

But Melinda kept talking about this topic happily.

It wasn't until Matthew showed a slight hint of impatience that she stopped in disinterest.

Subsequently.

She asked sweetly:

"Are you okay?"

"I mean, you and Sif?"

Matthew answered briefly:

"It's business as usual."

What happened in the kingdom of the Rolling Stones.

Matthew didn't tell Melinda everything, he simply conveyed the information that Rhaegar's soul might have fallen into the hands of Queen Gracia.

As for Sif's whereabouts.

They didn't reveal it to anyone, including Melinda, Sif's biological mother.

In Matthew's opinion.

Melinda has an arrogant personality, goes her own way, and has an erratic attitude. There is really no need to tell her everything about Sif.

Save more trouble.

Seeing Matthew's cold attitude, Melinda was a little disappointed.

Matthew ignored her emotions and went straight to the point:

"I came after that giant butterfly."

"Do you have any clues about it?"

Melinda thought:

"I didn't see the picture of the butterfly landing on the planet Stuluk, but there are rumors within the company that the butterfly flew into the south of the planet."

"From the beginning, the company mobilized almost all human resources to conduct a blanket search for the butterfly, but so far there is still no news."

"So I suspect it may have landed in purgatory."

In purgatory?

Matthew was surprised and said:

"What does the planet Stuluk have to do with Purgatory?"

Melinda immediately gave a detailed explanation.

turn out to be.

The Great Rip still had a serious impact on the planet Stuluk.

Among them, a hole that was difficult to heal appeared in the central and southern parts of the planet. In order to ensure that the planet would not be torn apart, Stuluk Industries made many efforts.

But it is still difficult to completely close the hole.

Fortunately, like the multi-dimensional will of Ain, the will of the planet Stuluk also started working hard to save itself——

The result of self-rescue is the fusion of some planes near the star realm.

What a coincidence.

Most of the astral planes that Stuluk merged with are related to purgatory!

"So Stuluk and Purgatory now have a larger border area."

"In the south of the planet, it is said that a special space similar to the Bloody Battle Plain is formed there. The dual laws of the Stuluk planet and Purgatory run there. It is a brand-new space between Purgatory."

"According to the exploration of the Necron forces, there are two roads on the other side between Purgatory, leading to Baator Purgatory and Morgan Purgatory respectively."

"There is currently no movement in Morgan's Purgatory. This may be related to the fact that Morgan, one of the Lords of the Nine Hells, disappeared without a trace after being severely injured by Suriel."

"And Baator Purgatory is very active."

"There is a legendary devil named Turas who has been active on the border between purgatory, trying to lead troops to invade the planet."

"I have inquired about it. Turas himself is not scary. What is scary is that behind him stands the current leader of Bator Purgatory - Queen Gracia..."

Hear the name Gracia.

Matthew's expression fluctuated slightly——

What a coincidence?

The planet Stuluk is actually bordering Purgatory, and is it also Bator Purgatory?

"What did you think of?"

Melinda was also very keen and noticed Matthew's emotional changes immediately.

"nothing."

Matthew calmly changed the subject:

"I need your help to enter the planet Stuluk."

Melinda looked embarrassed:

"It's difficult."

"Early after the border with Purgatory, Stuluk Industries significantly strengthened the control of entry and exit from the planet."

"This is not Irondor. The space outside the planet is not large. Almost everyone who enters and exits will be blocked by a barrier. Even if you can force your way in, you will soon be locked by the "Towering Matrix". "

"No matter where you run, you will be chased by the Necron troops."

Matthew thought for a while:

"Tell me what's going on with the Towering Matrix?"

"Spell monitoring system?"

Melinda shook her head:

"Not a spell."

"But psychic energy."

"Among the Necron forces, there is also a fringe group that abandons everything and specializes in psychic powers."

"They are called the 'Old Ones'. "

"You can think of them as ascetics among humans."

"The Recalcitrants have inherited the psychic heritage left by the Antu Empire, and they advocate returning the power of psychic energy to the original blood Giza people."

"They are not very involved in the external activities of Stuluk Industries. The only involvement is in the security and monitoring of the planet."

"As far as I know, there are a total of nineteen ancients in the towering matrix. Inspired by this matrix, each of them will have the strength of a legendary psychic."

"The leader of the Recalcitrants is revered as "Master Sin". Master Sin theoretically has the power of a high-ranking legend, but almost no one has ever seen him take action..."

Matthew's brows gradually furrowed, but his heart was filled with joy——

Fortunately, I didn't rush in without thinking!

When he thought of there were nineteen legendary psykers staring at him behind the space barrier.

He felt all kinds of difficulties.

"Except the Recalcitrant?"

"How many forces are involved in the security work on the planet Stuluk?"

Matthew asked.

Melinda has an attitude of knowing everything and saying everything.

She sold Stuluk Industries in just a few words, and seemed not to be afraid of the tin can squatting outside the box:

"The space barrier is outsourced to the Mantis forces on the Hume Tristar and an independent ranger in the Necron force to jointly maintain it."

"Then there will be a towering matrix controlled by the Recalcitrant. Everyone who enters will be monitored, and then transferred, exiled, imprisoned, destroyed, etc. depending on the level of invasion."

"Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for anyone to break through the Towering Matrix. If something strange like that happens, the company has permanent troops and at least three rapid reaction forces to deal with extreme situations..."

at the same time.

Matthew also took the opportunity to learn about the factions within the Necron.

turn out to be.

Stuluk Industries does not fully represent the entire will of the Necron force.

They are just the backbone of the remnant force and represent the more mainstream voices.

In fact.

After leaving the ruins of the Antu Empire, this force gradually divided into three factions——

The first is a group of Necrons who consider themselves "descendants of the Empire". They believe that they are the last bloodline of the Antu Empire and the only hope for the restoration of the Empire.

Their goal is to find another home in the universe and rebuild the Antu Empire.

The descendants of the Empire founded Stuluk Industries, which is the force that the public of Irondor is relatively familiar with;

The second faction is the Recalcitrants that Melinda mentioned earlier.

They formed an organization called the "Ancient Order", which was said to possess the largest and most powerful psychic heritage among the Necron forces.

Unlike Descendants of the Empire.

The Ancient Order believed that the Antu Empire at its peak was the chief culprit in destroying the universe.

Not only do they not believe that there is a need to restore the empire, they are even extremely hostile and wary of Stuluk Industries.

The two organizations are said to have engaged in a lengthy struggle in the early stages of their split.

A mysterious reconciliation ensued.

To this day, the Ancient Order is in charge of the Towering Matrix for Stuluk Industries, and not because they have collaborated with the Imperial Descendants.

But they already consider themselves the guardians of the planet Stuluk.

What they want to do is protect the entire planet.

in other ways.

The connection between the ancient order and the descendants of the Empire is almost zero.

The third faction is not active on the planet Stuluk itself.

Melinda calls them "outcasts."

The Wanderers are very mysterious.

Their number is small, but each one is incredibly powerful, and even generals, undead princes and the like must respect their opinions.

This group of people is now wandering in the very depths of the star realm, seemingly looking for something.

This situation has been going on for many years.

Even within Stuluk Industries, they don’t know what the wanderers are looking for, let alone the meaning of their existence.

"The "Wanderers" have a mark. Their shells are rusty, which will not appear on the "Descendants of the Empire". "

"And because the recalcitrants are all masters of psychic powers, they can't cover up the dim light inside the tin can."

The end.

Melinda taught another technique for distinguishing the three major factions of Necron.

Matthew nodded after listening:

"Now that you have taught me the skills of identification, have you figured out how to take me to the planet Stuluk?"

Melinda smiled and said:

"Two ways."

"The first way is that you produce a treasure and directly participate in the Treasure Conference, and then become the winner. You will get the opportunity to join Stuluk Industries and land on the planet within three days."

"The second option is to accept you as my new servant and follow me back to the headquarters."

"But I am already being monitored. There is a chance of successfully logging in through the second method, but there is also a possibility that I will continue to be monitored..."

"The specific method depends on what you want."

Matthew made his choice without hesitation:

"The second type."

Melinda asked curiously:

"Why?"

Matthew smiled:

"I'm afraid of trouble."

Melinda pursed her lips, her face full of disbelief.

But soon she formulated a complete plan.

The most important thing about this plan is to get rid of the tin can that was eavesdropping outside the box.

Ma Xiu wants to make suggestions.

Unexpectedly, Melinda said that she had a way, he just needed to cooperate.

Matthew just let her go.

When the two are talking.

The treasure conference on the stage is also in full swing.

According to Melinda.

The so-called Treasure Conference is actually a means for Stuluk Industries to control the pricing power of astral artworks and magic items.

It is also a strategy to gather creatures from nearby planes in one place.

By holding such conferences, Stuluk Industries can not only raise the prices of certain items, but also secretly guide certain trends in the astral society.

When Melinda was giving Matthew popular science, she could also take the time to quickly comment on the treasure that appeared in Christopher's hand:

""The Frog Statue of the Ancient God of Beauty"? Really, great value. "

""Twin Tablets"? It’s fake, and it’s fake at first glance. "

"The "Paper Umbrella of Desire" is fake, and the workmanship is very detailed, but I know it must be a high-quality imitation made in Roderick's factory..."

Until a certain treasure comes on stage.

Matthew commented coldly:

"Fake."

Melinda was startled.

Immediately, she stared at the "Sun God Spear" on display on the stage for a long time, and her expression softened slightly: "It is indeed a fake."

"But how come you make judgments faster than me?"

Matthew shrugged.

He can't say it's because he has the real thing, right?

The next few treasures have nothing to do with magic. They were probably dug out of the ruins of a certain prehistoric star civilization. They can only be said to have considerable historical value.

But Matthew was just bored.

Until a mysterious cage appeared next to the richest mantis man.

Matthew just broke out of his yawning state.

His eyes instantly became sharp.

The iron cage was covered by a huge black cloth, making it difficult to see what was inside.

But the moment Iron Cage came on stage.

An extremely dangerous signal appeared in Matthew's perception!

"That's...the devil's breath!"

Matthew stared at the iron cage.

Melinda next to her seemed to have no feeling at all.

She put one hand against her belly and couldn't help but complain:

"Why aren't you even provided with food?"
