The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

"Dickens is trapped in the quagmire of negative energy and can no longer extricate himself!"

There was a little regret and helplessness in Danya's voice:

"I have tried to persuade him many times to let go of those stupid and stubborn ideas, but all failed.

He cannot accept himself as he is now, nor can he endure life in the Tower of Exile.

He was originally a perfectionist, a genius who was conceited about his talent, and the hope of White Rock City.

However, the more talented a person is, the more he will fall after suffering a huge blow.

But I am different.

From the beginning, I was far more at peace than Dickens.

When I was first imprisoned here, I was as full of anger and dissatisfaction as Dickens.

But gradually, I convinced myself and accepted the current results.

The difference between him and me was already apparent when we first entered the path of the Necromancer.

Like other necromancers, he believes that power is everything, and with power there is nothing to fear.

And when I walk on this road, I often feel scared.

You should be able to feel it too, right?

With every step I take, as my strength increases, I feel the fear from the bottom of my heart!

I know that it is awe of the power of being out of control.

The path of the necromancer is such a path. We are living people, but we walk in the realm of the undead.

We have no taboos and steal the authority that belongs to the underworld.

We are at the bottom of the mage's contempt chain, just because we do all kinds of evil, and there are no rules that can restrain us.

And this is an important source of fear in my heart.

I realized early on that the power of a lack of restraint often comes back to bite you in the end.

The best solution is to embrace props or rules that can check and balance your own power.

But reality is often not so ideal. Chasing power is the instinct of intelligent creatures.

Constraints are not.

I have seen many young and successful necromancers. After mastering powerful power, they will suddenly lose control one day——

Either the summoned object lost control and backfired on itself;

Either the forbidden necromancy spells went awry, causing something darker and more terrifying to happen.

There are also necromancers who study plague, but eventually turn themselves into a walking source of plague infection...

I've seen too many such scenes.

Therefore, from beginning to end, I have always had a sense of awe for necromancy in my heart.

I know this is the path I want to take.

I also know that there is an abyss under this road..."

Danya’s words were full of sincerity.

Matthew couldn't help but be moved after hearing this:

"You're absolutely right."

In fact, let alone the Necromancer.

There are also many normal mages who go crazy because of their research.

The more talented you are, the easier it is to do this.

Most of the remaining people who are not crazy, who have managed to survive, and who have become legends or magicians, have experienced or showed signs of losing mental control.

This is the nature of extraordinary power.

And in extraordinary power.

The realm of the dead is perhaps the most misleading one.

Danya seemed to be having some fun:

"Do you know that people desire chains?"

Matthew nodded:

"The foundation artifact of White Rock City. As far as I know, all the necromancers in White Rock City today advanced through the Chain of Human Desire..."

Danya chuckled and said:

"Fake."

"That was false news reported to the alliance to deceive others."

"In fact, only about one-third of the mages in White Rock City will choose to advance through the Chain of Human Desire."

Matthew asked thoughtfully:

"Is it because the chains of human desire will restrain them?"

Danya nodded, with a mocking smile on her pale face:

"The effect of the Chain of Human Desire is that when you become a Necromancer, you rely on your own consciousness and make a series of rules and oaths."

"After this, no matter how far you go on this road, you must abide by the oath you made."

“It’s a constraint and a gift.”

"Those who advance through the Chain of Human Desire are called "Order Necromancers";

Those who came to work through other means were basically "Chaos Necromancers" who acted in a chaotic manner. "

"Due to the suppression of the alliance, the person in charge of White Rock City must be the Order Necromancer, but there are also many Chaos Necromancers who have a lot of power in White Rock City."

"In other words, they are the backbone of Baiyan City!"

Matthew nodded slightly.

There must be secrets in Baiyan City.

Now it seems that the overt and covert violations of the alliance have never stopped. No wonder Isabel is so dismissive of the Necromancer.

"So, you are the Necromancer of Order and Dickens is not?"

he asked.

Danya shook her head:

"no."

"The members of the three major families are basically order necromancers. Otherwise, the alliance will not be able to fool them, and they will not be able to manage White Rock City."

“It’s just that when taking office through the chains of human desire, Dickens only established three oaths for himself.

And I have a total of thirty! "

She continued with a smile:

“Let me tell you a secret, the fewer the number of oaths created through the Chain of Human Desire, the faster the strength of an order necromancer will increase in the early stage;

Otherwise it will be much slower.

However, this was before the fourth level.

Level 4 and beyond.

The more oaths a necromancer has, the greater his potential is.

Especially in terms of promotion to legend.

A necromancer with more than 20 oaths and strong self-discipline has a promotion success rate nearly 100 times that of an ordinary necromancer!

Dickens actually knew this.

But he was dismissive of it.

He thought he was a genius.

And a genius should be unconventional.

Facts have proved that he is indeed the most suitable super genius for the way of the dead.

It took him only one year from creating the oath at the chain of human desire to entering the fourth level.

It took him another 20 years to be promoted to legend.

In the history of Baiyan City.

He can be regarded as a rapid progress.

I am different.

My talent in the field of the dead can only be regarded as an ordinary genius.

Due to the large number of oaths in the early stage.

It took me seven or eight years to advance to the fourth level.

It took another seven or eight years to become a legend.

It took nearly 20 years before and after.

But even so, I did it faster than Dickens.

This is the power of the human desire chain! "

To sum up, the greater the constraints, the stronger in the later stage?

This rule is in line with Matthew's cognition.

In the early stage, he could hardly make any progress in the field of necromancy. On the one hand, it was due to his low-key accumulation, and on the other hand, he really felt that his talent was very ordinary at that time.

It was not until he summoned Xiao Fei that he began to upgrade by leaps and bounds.

Now think about it.

Matthew has met the standards of the human desire chain invisibly.

His own integrity is much stronger than that of most necromancers.

What's more, there is another force in his body to check and balance.

Almost satisfied the legendary path of the most perfect necromancer in Danya's mouth!

"This secret should only be known by very few people, right?"

Matthew asked.

Danya gave a positive answer:

"Of course, only the core members of the three major families know this secret."

"But even if it is made public, not many necromancers are willing to put so many shackles on themselves at the beginning."

Matthew thought about it:

"Indeed. ”

“Not everyone has the resources and ambition to become a legend.”

“Most people become necromancers just for the sake of their immediate survival, and they don’t think about that much.”

Danya nodded in agreement.

Matthew asked again in confusion:

“In that case, the oaths related to the human desire chain are actually just empty talk for most necromancers, right?”

“In other words, he could have created fewer oaths when he was advancing, just like Dickens, after all, this is a process that relies purely on self-discipline.”

“From this point of view, the role of this artifact doesn’t seem to be that great.”

Danya shook her head:

“That’s not the case.”

“It’s true that many order necromancers set fewer oaths and rules for themselves at the beginning of their advancement, but this fewer oaths is actually relative to other people.

If compared with himself, in most cases, that is an extraordinary moral standard.

You have to understand.

When a person first embarks on this path, his heart is the purest and his moral standards are the highest.

Every rule and oath he set for himself at this time.

All of them were things he would never want to set in the future.

Have you ever seen a necromancer who is getting kinder and kinder?

No!

People will only become worse and worse.

This is especially true for necromancers.

The greatest significance of the Human Desire Chain is to keep you in mind -

to use the original you to restrain the later you.

At the very least, it can keep you from sliding down the abyss a few steps in endless depravity.

Even if it's only a few steps.

This is the meaning of this artifact! "

It makes sense.

Matthew quickly agreed with Danya's statement.

Perhaps this is the original intention of the legendary wizard from the Alliance to create the Human Desire Chain and the White Rock City.

Many people only know that the necromancers in the White Rock City have been restrained.

But they don't understand that this restraint is actually a kind of protection.

Protect others.

And protect yourself.

"So, if you violate the oath on the Human Desire Chain, what will happen? "

Matthew suddenly asked.

Danya was silent for more than 20 seconds before she slowly answered:

"I can answer this question."

"In my life, I have only violated the oath of the human desire chain once, but that deviation almost ruined my life!"

Matthew actually had the answer in his heart:

"The trace of the dead?"

"The blood crystal of the embers!"

Danya in the glass jar suddenly opened her mouth.

A diamond-shaped red crystal spit out from her mouth, rose several times in the light green liquid, and slowly disappeared in front of Matthew.

This is similar to the crystal he saw on the body of Dickens who jumped to his death.

"At that time, I, Dickens, and Danya."

"We all violated our oaths under the temptation of eternal life."

Danya's voice was full of deep regret:

"In fact, at the beginning, we didn't dare to violate the oath seriously. We only dared to touch the edge of the oath and test it. ”

“But soon, we were surprised and delighted to find that minor violations of the oath would not bring any punishment! ”

“So we kept increasing the intensity of violating the oath.”

"Until the end, we completely violated our oath and did many taboo things that are not allowed by the alliance, but the punishment we expected still did not come!"

"We even thought that there was something wrong with the human desire chain, or that our power had become so strong that the oath could no longer affect us!"

"That stage was the time in my life when I was most afraid of my own power. But at that time, the Ember Blood Crystal project had reached its final moments, and the hope of eternal life was right in front of me. I couldn't resist the temptation."

"Later, we succeeded..."

“But, things also came to light.

The Alliance began to pursue the case, and we put the responsibility on Hux. It didn't take long for Isabel to capture her at Mount Blackso. "

"Dickens and I thought that this would be the end of the matter, so we hid back in White Rock City."

"One day later."

"Ekmund came to White Rock City."

"He came to hold Dickens and I accountable. As soon as he came up, he said he would banish us to the Arcane Wilderness and imprison us in a prison built in advance by the Alliance for prisoners."

"Although Dickens and I were facing a formidable enemy, we thought at the time that there was only one Eckmund, and he might not be our opponent. There might be a chance to escape."

"But no one expected it."

"Ekmund just took out an artifact that looked like a chain of human desire, and completely suppressed the two of us...

After that, as you can see, Dickens and I were locked up until today..."

Resembling human desire chains?

Matthew suddenly thought of something.

"That's right."

Danya smiled bitterly and said:

"That was part of the chain of chaos that was pulled out of Isabel."

"She knew our plan a long time ago, so she deliberately used the Chain of Chaos to suppress the effect of the Chain of Desire, so that the punishment for our violation of the oath would not appear for a long time."

"The day Ekmund came with her Chaos Chains, she directly detonated all the punishments and backlashes of the Human Desire Chains against the two of us for breaking our oaths."

"The backlash is so terrifying and turbulent, of course we don't have the strength to resist Ekmund's exile..."

Is there such a thing?

Isabel is indeed a good fisherman, and Ekmund is not a good person either!

Matthew touched his chin and subconsciously replied:

"This is somewhat despicable..."

Dania also complained:

"Who says it's not?"

"If Isabelle didn't have the power to suppress the chains of human desire, we might not have gone so far on the forbidden project."

“If minor violations are punished in the first place, serious backlash may not occur at all!”

"From this perspective, Isabel does not regard us necromancers as human beings."

"In her eyes, we are like grass that can be harvested at will, cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered wantonly..."

Seeing that Danya’s complaints became more and more exaggerated.

I remembered that the teacher himself was always watching from behind.

Matthew quickly added:

"Maybe she just wants to test you."

"She wants to see if you can achieve temperance through your own self and heart without the constraints of human desire."

Danya snorted coldly:

"That's exactly what Ekmund said."

"This is their excuse for deliberate indulgence!"

"But essentially everyone knows that this is to suppress Baiyan City!"

"You have to understand that at that time, White Rock City already had four legendary necromancers, and there were more outstanding young talents who were thriving under the training of the Human Desire Chain."

"If it weren't for ulterior motives, would the Alliance push the Mark of the Dead into our mouths?"

"They are all people with sinister intentions. How can they have good intentions?"

"It's nothing more than a successful king and a defeated bandit!"

At these words, Matthew almost wanted to applaud her.

Danya's thoughts matched his perfectly.

He actually felt that the teacher just wanted to find an excuse to mess with Baiyan City.

But this cannot be said clearly.

At this moment, Matthew mumbled a few words and then changed the topic to Dickens again.

Dania told Matthew.

Dickens's current situation is caused by the backlash of the chain of human desire being too severe.

He has been completely assimilated by negative energy.

It became a humanoid collection in the negative energy field.

A terrifying existence similar to the spirit of the realm.

Matthew nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Thank you for answering my questions."

"By the way, the man-made legend project you mentioned earlier requires high-dimensional matter, right?"

Danya suddenly became excited:

"Yes, yes!"

"That's it!"

"I just need a little bit!"

Matthew replied in a sincere tone:

"I can give you some."

"But I'm sorry not now."

"I need to observe it for a period of time, and then I will give you enough high-dimensional matter after making sure everything is safe."

Danya's voice suddenly became sharp:

"observe?"

"What else do you want to observe?

My projects can be made public for you to see, and the materials can also be given to you!

I can tell you whatever you want to know!

Just don’t procrastinate! "

Matthew's tone was still unhurried:

"I can understand your eagerness."

"But since you are in the state of immortality, you shouldn't be in a hurry for this little time, right?"

"Frankly speaking, I respect you very much, but I am also wary of you."

"Your attainments in the realm of the undead far exceed my knowledge. I cannot 100% screen and judge them based on my own knowledge."

"The only way I can build more trust in you is to spend enough time observing."

Danya said coldly:

"How long are you going to observe?"

Matthew replied:

"Ten years, or twenty years."

"It depends on the relationship between you and me."

Danya said nothing.

Matthew added:

"If you are really in a hurry, I have another plan."

"Then let's sign a copy of this."

Said.

Matthew unfolded a piece of parchment that had some writing on it.

Then use the mage's hand to hold the quill.

A series of details and terms have been added in detail above.

Danya did not open her eyes.

But she obviously saw the content on the parchment, and her voice became full of dissatisfaction:

"Deep contract?"

"With such harsh terms, do you want to turn me into a slave?"

Matthew said seriously:

"The harsh terms just show my sincerity."

"I am willing to sponsor some high-dimensional substances for your project, but I also need to consider some considerations for my own safety."

"As long as you sign this in-depth contract, I will give you whatever you want with both hands."

"Or, if you're not in a hurry, we can take our time."

Danya thought for a long time.

Then he sighed depressedly:

"Why."

"As expected, he is a mage from the Alliance of Seven Saints, and he has an eye for everything."

"Forget it, I'm not in a hurry. Take your time. If you can really trust me one day, just send the things over."

"So annoying!"

"I'm going to go to bed!"

"Get out of here!"

But just when Matthew smiled bitterly and was about to leave.

Danya suddenly stopped him again:

"Right."

"I originally prepared a gift for you, which is a good thing to strengthen the "Instigation of Rebellion" spell. "

"I put the things in the undead transformation pool. I was originally going to take them out and give them to you directly. But now...ten or twenty years from now, wait until trust between us has been established before we get them!"

Matthew's heart moved.

He turned around and walked a few steps, quickly arriving at the undead transformation pool full of negative energy.

There is no bottom in the pool.

Matthew's perception was blocked.

He pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly tentatively opened the negative energy field to see if he could use the power of the field to explore the situation at the bottom of the pool.

But at that moment.

The entire hall suddenly became violently cold—

Bang bang bang!

Crisp sounds kept coming from the floor.

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

It turned out that the water element in the air had been frozen into small ice slags, which were falling piece by piece!

Between glass jars.

Waves of extremely depressing domain power surged over like an overwhelming force.

In front of this force.

Matthew's negative energy field seems to be "stuck" and has been unable to expand, and there is even a tendency to be led by the other party!

This is……

Danya’s negative energy field!

"Crash!"

There was a violent sound of water coming from the undead transformation pool.

Matthew looked back.

Colorful ghosts are rushing out from the bottom of the pool!

Blessed by the negative energy field, these ghosts looked extremely terrifying and ferocious. They flew around Matthew and gave people an unbearable stinging feeling before they even touched his skin!

…

"Warning: Your negative energy field is interrupted by Dania's negative energy field!

Field coverage: Daniya, with her higher level of exploration and proficiency, has suppressed your negative energy field window in the short term, and you will not be able to continue to control the negative energy field in the short term!

Warning: You encounter a group of world-weary spirits (legendary creatures/extremely dangerous)! "

…

The spirit of misanthropy.

One of the legendary ghost creations.

They are the legendary forms of ghosts, and each world-weary spirit carries extremely exaggerated emotions such as world-weariness, destruction, hatred, rage, and joy.

These emotions have become a realm of their own.

It is also one of the sources of power for the soul-weary souls.

As a taboo object in the realm of the undead, the birth of every undead spirit is accompanied by the tragic death of a large number of innocent people. It is a creation that the Alliance will never allow.

The soul-wearing spirit is very powerful, and its offensive methods are hard to guard against. Even the legendary mage must be very careful when fighting against a lonely soul-wearing spirit.

Not to mention a whole group of them!

"It's actually a spirit-weary thing."

A brief moment of astonishment flashed in Matthew's eyes, followed by deep regret and regret:

"so……"

"Are those words you said before really trying to get close?"

"Actually, I also noticed some loopholes. For example, you obviously have thirty oaths, so it stands to reason that you will encounter a more serious backlash than Dickens. Why are you so emotionally stable?"

"Now it seems that you have completely abandoned your emotions and integrated them into your soul-weary body."

"And ever since you started making taboo creatures like the animas, you've been ready to completely fall out with the alliance, right?"

"If I guess correctly, you are the one who cooperates with Snake Mountain Demon Realm, and the corpses brought back by the red-crowned werewolves were also sent here..."

"After all, with Dickens' current state, it's hard to talk about cooperation with others..."

Danya's cold voice came from all directions.

Her voice was full of sarcasm:

"Since you have guessed everything, why are you still here?"

"Isn't it because of greed, fantasizing about getting more from me?!"

"To use Isabel's words, if you had just left, you wouldn't have fallen into my trap."

"But since you chose to stay and came to this pool, you can only blame yourself for your lack of restraint!"

The voice fell.

All the evil spirits let out sharp howls.

Even if Matthew blocked his ears in advance, he could still feel the trembling that went straight into his soul!

The next moment.

In the pool behind him, all the black liquid merged into a tornado.

Following.

The water tornado overturned and turned into a giant python that tightly blocked the space around Matthew!

This is...

The power of eclipse!

"Eclipse space..."

Matthew silently distinguished Danya's moves.

The eclipse field can completely strip the bodies of the creatures trapped in it.

Only the relatively undefended spiritual space remains.

For the spirit of world-weariness.

This is indeed the best target for attack.

Even if Matthew's body is strong and can support it in the eclipse space for a while.

His body's resistance will also drop significantly under the influence of the eclipse power.

In the process of fighting against the spirit of world-weariness, there will be various signs of powerlessness.

He tried to mobilize the power of the eclipse field.

He found that this field was also blocked.

A trace of surprise flashed in Matthew's eyes:

"So you can play like this..."

Danya's voice was full of disdain:

"Do you think you can become a true legend by entering a few more fields?"

"The field is about refinement, not quantity."

"In the same field, my status in the field is higher, even if it is only a little higher than yours, it is enough to make the final decision!"

"Now, I give you one last chance, hand over what I want!"

"Otherwise, your best fate is to become my newest evil spirit!"

Matthew shook his head silently:

"What a pity."

"I thought you would be a little different."

"I didn't expect you to be like this after the truth was revealed..."

"The road of Baiyan City... is really completely crooked!"

Danya scolded:

"You This traitor!"

"As a necromancer, he has become a lackey of the Alliance!"

"You still have the nerve to accuse the road in Baiyan City of being problematic?"

"I have heard similar words from Isabel and Ekmond countless times."

"I also asked them, if the road in Baiyan City is problematic, then what road should we take?"

"But they didn't answer me."

"They just told us that we were wrong."

"But they never told me what was right!"

"At first I was confused and angry."

"But later I understood."

"It turns out that in their eyes, the existence of us necromancers is a mistake in itself!"

"In that case, why don't we just make mistakes all the way to the end?"

In Danya's angry roar.

Countless white hand bones suddenly stretched out from every corner of the eclipsed space.

They touched Matthew directly!

...
