The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Before Matthew made a decision.

Paradise Lost had quietly opened, and the spirituality that emanated from Carmela was automatically captured by Matthew.

In the blink of an eye.

He sensed that there was an extra brass rune in Paradise Lost.

The rune was between the entity and the virtual, and its surface was flowing with a brass glow, giving people a mysterious and majestic feeling.

On the data bar.

…

"Hint: You have obtained the "Carmela's Consciousness Amulet".

With this amulet, you can enter Carmela's spiritual world at the right time and control several units inside it."

…

Matthew was a little puzzled.

This consciousness amulet is equivalent to a key. It is fine that it is automatically captured by Paradise Lost. Why is the wording of it described in the data bar so weird?

"What do you mean by several units inside the spiritual world?"

"Is it implying that there is a construct in Carmela's brain?"

He felt it was a little unlikely.

He and Carmela have been in contact for a long time, and she has never revealed any trace of constructed life or mechanical life.

And a legendary priest of the constructed body?

To be honest, it's a bit too advanced...

Just when Matthew was surprised by the various abnormalities of the consciousness amulet.

The white light in the carriage flashed by.

Carmela's eyes quickly regained clarity.

She was in a daze for about five seconds, and then looked at the others with clear eyes:

"By the way, what were we talking about just now?"

Roland shrugged:

"We were talking about why it was so slow to pass the level."

Carmela replied calmly:

"This is normal."

"The devils are extremely inefficient, which is the inevitable result of pursuing evil while advocating order."

"The evil order must be contrary to the instinct of organisms, and inefficiency is one of the byproducts of the defects in the entire devil society mechanism."

"In a sense, the devil is the least efficient and least creative race in the entire multiverse."

Hearing this.

Sandrine was a little unconvinced.

She raised her head slightly:

"According to you, even the most artistically sophisticated devils are not as creative as those who only know how to act recklessly?"

Carmela responded calmly:

"That's true."

"At least in terms of artistic creation, the devil is better."

"The devil will only comment on and point fingers at other people's works, but if he is allowed to create his own work, he will usually shirk his responsibility. Even if he completes a work with gritted teeth, the final result will only be a laughing stock."

"Have you ever heard of a devil who is a great artist?"

Sandrine wanted to refute, but she was speechless for a long time before she quibbled:

"That's, that's because..."

"We devils are not interested in artistic creation, we prefer to appreciate it!"

"Well... it's like this..."

Carmela smiled faintly:

"But there are quite a few demon artists in the abyss."

"In fact, the top demon lords all have one or two artistic skills. Although their aesthetics are very biased and the art fields involved are not comprehensive enough, their interpretation of violent aesthetics alone exceeds that of all demons, not to mention that there are indeed many alternative art masters among demons."

At this time, Loran couldn't help but interrupt and said:

"I have seen many oil paintings from the abyss. Even if those oil paintings are of poor quality, most of them are from the hands of demon lords."

"Of course, I have also seen many oil paintings from Purgatory. They are all well preserved. Unfortunately, most collectors of oil paintings say that those paintings were taken back from other places, and very few of them were created by themselves."

"So to be fair, demons are indeed more creative than demons."

Sandrine seemed a little frustrated.

Loran smiled and comforted:

"Don't be discouraged. No matter how bad it is in other areas, at least the devil is invincible in the field of usury."

Sandrine retorted awkwardly:

"I have never loaned money at high interest rates."

"I am not very good at this..."

Carmela showed a smile in her eyes:

"If a devil can't even lend money at high interest rates, he can usually be called useless."

Sandrine looked even more embarrassed.

She must be unconvinced in her heart, but after a few days of contact, she also had a general understanding of Carmela's strength, so she naturally didn't dare to speak loudly at this time.

Luckily, Matthew kindly helped her out:

"It's okay."

"You are no longer a devil now, but a lonely ghost belonging to Paradise Lost."

"The honor and disgrace of the devil don't really have much to do with you."

After hearing this, Sandrine's face became more complicated.

Then she fell into complete silence.

Matthew took the opportunity to turn to Carmela, wanting to tell her about the consciousness amulet through secret language. After all, he couldn't just take the key to his partner's spiritual world without knowing it, right?

Unexpectedly, Carmela shook her head gently.

Then.

Her voice rang in Matthew's heart:

"Although I don't know what happened, since the amulet happened to be taken away by you, I hope you can keep it for me."

"It's not a very important thing. I can't decide anything when I am sober, but..."

"If one day my faith collapses... you can use it to help me."

"As for how to do it specifically, everything will be explained after you enter that place holding the amulet."

Finished.

She also passed on to Matthew a simple set of spells.

Matthew quickly switched his consciousness to Paradise Lost.

Use the spell given by Carmela.

He immediately analyzed a very complex spell matrix from the amulet——

"Soul Editor".

Spell matrix may not be an accurate term.

Matthew discovered that the Matrix contains a powerful and complex soul editing technique. Many of these techniques have similar or even repetitive effects, but the channels for implementation are different——

Divine magic, spells, psychic powers, spiritual power...

Almost any kind of extraordinary power can use the techniques in the matrix to enter a huge spiritual world, and then edit, crop, erase, or even completely annihilate its soul, memory and even feelings!

Soul Editor.

It is a technique that fundamentally reshapes a soul!

"In the current spell system of Irondor, if you want to achieve similar effects, you can only learn a spell called "Mental Distortion" after entering the upper level legend. "

"The rest is only the deep dive project where Hibbert's daughter is located that seems to be linked to it, but it is not a complete soul editor."

"As for the content in this spell matrix, as long as the mental power is strong enough, the legendary stage can almost be reached..."

To know.

Even the gods of Tianlun Palace, who claim to be more proficient in the spiritual field, can only tamper with a person's soul at a very shallow level, and usually have serious sequelae and recurring phenomena.

In comparison.

The methods in this matrix are too clever.

It’s almost the same as the method Giza used to hypnotize the tauren young Kunda!

However, the amount of knowledge in this matrix is ​​too huge.

Even with Matthew's mental strength, it would be difficult to fully interpret it in a short time.

He just gave me a quick hug.

He withdrew his consciousness before his temples suddenly hurt.

And this matrix did not disappoint him.

Under the support of "excellent wisdom".

Matthew quickly mastered the spell version of the "powerful brainwashing technique" in the Matrix.

There is also a part of "soul destruction".

The latter effect is to directly crush a person's soul through close contact——

The premise is that there must be a certain degree of physical contact with the other party's soul storage location.

And if you want to skip this condition.

An additional series of additional casting materials are required.

Matthew took a look and found that most of the materials could be collected by himself, but only a few were rare.

And it just so happens that the rarest material is called "River Bottom Sand of the Rootless River"!

This is also the most important material for performing soul destruction from a long distance.

"It seems that the bottom sand of this rootless river is a good thing."

"It is needed to make projection clones, and it is also needed to destroy the soul..."

"It should be a strange material that can directly act on soul imprints..."

Matthew silently memorized the key points.

With the fulcrum of Lost Paradise, he can also enter the secret realm of the Rootless River.

But Matthew was in no hurry to explore again.

Because he realized that there was a limit to the number of times he could enter the Rootless River, which meant that it was best to maximize the benefits every time he entered, otherwise it would be a pity.

"I'll have a chance to consult with Linde later."

"He is the only person in the alliance who has entered the Rootless River..."

Just when Matthew was in a daze.

The caravan's carriage also successfully arrived at the inspection checkpoint.

The two intermediate devils in charge of checkpoints are difficult to deal with at first sight.

Fortunately, Sandrine is a genuine native of Purgatory and can answer all kinds of questions easily.

And Carmela's magic is also at its best.

Plus the gossip provided by Lorraine.

After spending more than an hour, they finally passed many checkpoints and successfully entered the territory of Phantom Baron.

But there is still a long way to go before the real purgatory of Baator.

Due to the terrain of the plane, at least one-third of the baronial territory is a deserted Fufeng Slope——

This is a 70-degree upward curved slope.

Except for a small number of wind demons and bird demons living on the slopes.

Most devils prefer to live in the plains or mountains on the slopes.

This resulted in Fufeng Slope being extremely sparsely populated except for a few troop transportation roads.

soon.

The group of people came out of the checkpoint and followed the steep upward road to a three-way intersection.

"On the left is Morgan's Purgatory."

"On the right is Fresa."

"We just go along the middle."

Sandrine quickly read the sign at the intersection.

"etc."

Matthew suddenly poked his head out of the carriage, and then sprinkled a small bag of acid stone powder at the road sign——

This powder is slightly corrosive.

They are usually difficult to cause serious damage, but they have an excellent effect in detecting camouflage.

The next second.

The area covered by the acid stone powder has slight light and shadow distortion.

A sharp cry quickly sounded.

A monster with a bird's head and a body and wings suddenly jumped down from the sign!

at the same time.

The order of the content on the sign has also changed——

The left points to Morgan's Purgatory;

On the right is Baator Purgatory;

Fresa Purgatory is right in the middle!

boom!

A ball of fire flew out.

The bird demon that was still cursing was instantly ignited. After struggling for a while, it died miserably on the roadside.

"Let's go, right."

Matthew calmly pulled down the curtain.

"It seems that Fresa Purgatory is also in short supply..."

Seeing this, Luo Lan muttered:

"Businessmen who come frequently will definitely not be deceived by such a trick. If there are newcomers who are deceived into taking the middle road, they may end up being refined into soul coins by a certain devil lord in Fresa."

Matthew nodded:

"It feels like all the purgatory lords are robbing people."

This is his comprehensive feeling along the way.

Compared to robbery.

They encountered more demons robbing people.

Perhaps this is because a new, uncontracted soul is of extremely high value in the hands of devils.

They always try their best to trick strangers into purgatory.

This is in sharp contrast to the demon who has been trying to break out.

Passed three forks in the road.

The group of people continued to walk up the Fufeng Slope along the spacious troop transportation road.

Half a day later.

They passed a Feng Mo Inn.

Matthew and others did not stop, but just hurried on.

But when passing by.

They saw several promotional posters about a magnificent manor outside Feng Mo Inn.

The content in the painting seems to be calling on the devils along the way to participate in some celebration.

Matthew didn't have time to take a closer look.

But it doesn't matter.

There is a poet here.

"That is a manor called "Fountain of Bliss", and the owner of the manor is the Phantom Baron, the owner of this territory. "

"Legend has it that in this manor, all entrants must strictly abide by two completely different sets of rules."

"That is, indulge in sexual activities during the day and be silent at night."

"It is said that during the day in the manor, every living being that meets must vent their desires to each other, otherwise they will be deemed unqualified by the manor and then be forcibly expelled..."

As soon as Luo Lan's ears moved, a piece of gossip came out.

Sandrine asked curiously:

"What if it's a group of people?"

The other three looked at her like a fool.

The latter suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

"As for the night, you must keep to yourself and hide in your room. You are not allowed to leave the door even half a step, otherwise you may encounter unexpected events!"

"The manor is enviable during the day, but the night is its true essence. It is said that many powerful devils died in the corridor outside the room, and their deaths were very miserable..."

Loren introduced it with relish.

Matthew felt strange:

"Since there is a possibility of death, why would the devil come to the door? Just for the pleasure of the day?"

This is not in line with the devil's lawful style.

Lorraine replied:

"It's like this. It is said that there is a treasure buried in a certain room in the manor that the Queen of Desire placed personally. That treasure is suspected to be related to Bato, the former Lord of Nine Hells. Only when night falls, that treasure can be found Someone will find out..."

Hear this.

Matthew just thought it was another weird story that had been fabricated.

But at this time.

He suddenly sensed that the purgatory black businessman who was imprisoned by him in Lost Paradise was slowly recovering!

…
