The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 162 Rega's Sisters
……

Compared with the surface, the dungeon is a place full of dangers.

Not only are there many underground residents lurking in the shadows, but there may also be dark creatures from the shadow plane or the evil spirit plane.

In the Hundred Cities Enfeoffment Plan.

The Seven Saints Alliance once warned the mages of various city-states that if they want to develop the underground space of their city, they must strictly follow the 300-meter principle.

That is to say, the depth of digging down shall not exceed 300 meters at most.

The actual operation is the safest within 180 meters.

In the history of Aindor, it is not uncommon for a certain city to dig too deep and cause a bloody disaster.

The underground world has another set of survival logic.

This also has something to do with the fact that the Scourge mage did not touch the dark gods hidden underground when he exiled Tianlun Palace.

Therefore, when Matthew planned his underground space, he also strictly followed the 300-meter principle.

In fact.

His cemetery is only 7 to 9 meters from the surface, and the safety precautions are definitely full.

And after listening to the description of Ghost Ali.

Matthew's first reaction was "Will there be fraud in it?".

He didn't suspect that Ali had set him up, but that it was a very rare thing for an open-pit sulfur mine to appear underground.

Because all dark creatures need sulfur, this stuff is considered a hard currency for creatures in the underground world.

Once a sulfur mine is discovered.

It will definitely be mined immediately.

Considering that the underground space in the Gold Digger Basin has been repeatedly plowed several times by human miners, adventurers, kobolds, jackals and other underground creatures.

Matthew feels that the probability of slipping through the net is low.

"However, if the sulfur mine is close to the surface and the location is rather tricky, it is indeed possible that no one cares about it."

He inquired about the location of the sulfur mine in detail.

After confirming that its location does not exceed the 300-meter principle.

Matthew decided to lead the team to investigate.

At the moment, he asked Ali to lead the way, and called a team of skeleton soldiers, a team of silver moon zombies, and six ghost wolves.

Walking mightily towards a small tunnel.

Along the way, Matthew also used the "Necromorph" on a whim.

He turned into a skeleton dwarf who was a musketeer in his lifetime, mixing among the skeleton soldiers.

In front of him was Renesme, behind him was Bing, and on both sides were other undead.

Because the dwarves are too short.

Matthew was sure that if he drilled into the army pile, the enemy would never find him.

Can be corresponding.

He didn't seem to be able to tell.

along the way.

All he's looking at is Renee Smee's ass...

The underground march took about two hours.

Ali led them to find a surging underground river, and Matthew judged based on his sense of direction that this river was most likely a branch of the Old Lady River on the surface.

Walk along the underground river for another 10 minutes.

There is no way ahead.

Ali pointed to the black stone wall and said:
"Don't look at the thickness here, after about 5 meters, there is a hollow underground basin."

"If it is a living creature, it can swim through the underground river. I remember there is an entrance over there."

Matthew sends Renee Smee down to the river for a try.

Soon.

He sensed all signs of safety from the contract.

He could feel that Renesme was not far away from him, only about ten meters away.

This shows that Ali is not lying.

So he led the team down the river and swam for a short distance. Sure enough, he found the underground basin Ali mentioned very easily.

Once out of the water.

Matthew smelled a strong and pungent smell.

The air in the subterranean basin is hot and humid.

Matthew made a preliminary estimate and found that the depth here is about 800 meters, the horizontal space is also 60 meters, and the height of the head is relatively short, only 3 to 4 meters.

There is indeed a sulfur mine exposed on the surface.

Matthew is not a mineralogist, but his basic common sense as a mage is enough for him to make a judgment——

This sulfur mine is easy to mine, and its purity is not low.

If you develop it properly, you can make a lot of money yourself!
This discovery made Matthew both happy and worried.

The joy is naturally a windfall.

What is worrying is that sulfur ore with such a high purity appears here, excluding the possibility of underground volcanoes, then there is only one possibility——

Subterranean Basins contain rifts from the Abyss.

The sulfur is leaking from the inside.

Demons have been known to view sulfur as a tonic, and their noses are naturally gifted with the ability to search for sulfur ore.

Maybe one day, a few demons will touch it.

"I can do a node survey ahead of time and plug the cracks."

"The demons may not be able to find them in time. Even if they come, they will probably be small fish, so they won't be unable to handle it."

Matthew collected himself.

Now he asked Ali:
"Have you seen demonic creatures around here?"

Ali shook his head:

"No."

"There's a colony of cavemen downriver in the underground river, and they seldom come here."

"In the lower space about 5 miles away from here, there is also a tribe of Dreadclaws. They are relatively large in number, but it is too humid here, so it should not be easy to come here."

Matthew looked at Ali with great interest:

"Do you know the habits of the Dreadclaw?"

Dreadclaws are common subterranean creatures.

They have vulture-like heads and giant beetle-like bodies, with an exoskeleton adorned with spikes and bony protrusions.

The claws at the ends of its limbs are terrifying.

Once a person who lacks defense is caught, it is good luck to be cut open, and it is more likely to be disemboweled!

This is how the Dreadclaw got its name.

Colonies of these creatures maintain matrilineal clan traditions, and they feed on whatever game, lichen, fungi, etc. they can catch or find.

the most important is.

The Dreadclaw has a vengeful character, and the members of the same race are particularly united.

In case you accidentally provoke a Dreadclaw, the next time you meet, it will definitely bring a large group of three aunts and six aunts to trouble you.

Their only obvious disadvantage is that they are afraid of water, and they also hate wet places.

The above knowledge is necessary for a mage.

But others are not so easy to know.

Under Matthew's curious eyes.

Ali's face darkened:
"There is a library deep in Zandar's cemetery. The owner of the library is an amiable Mr. Mummy. He allows us to borrow the books in it freely, but we must cherish every book."

"I spent a long time in the library and read a lot of books. Unknowingly, my body has undergone some changes."

"My mind seems to be more sensitive than it was in life."

"It's a pity that the library was destroyed during the dragon disaster, and Mr. Mummy was also captured by the red dragon Cusules."

Matthew nodded.

Ali is still very good on the whole, at least he is more knowledgeable than the centaur.

Matthew spent another midnight surveying the vicinity.

After leaving two ghost wolves as sentinels.

He just returned to the cemetery.

He definitely wanted to develop this sulfur mine, but he had to discuss with Lei Jia and the others how to do it.

Matthew never had the habit of eating alone.

Early the next morning.

After Matthew woke up, he left the cemetery and returned to his home in the town.

He planned to get some saplings from the greenhouse first, and then went to the Lord's Mansion to fish.

But he had just come to the door.

But found someone outside to discuss the mind.

Matthew coughed:
"Jeff?"

The man trembled and turned around nervously.

"Thank goodness I found you!"

The trader Jeff, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, said happily:

"If I hadn't blocked you at the door, I was going to try my luck in the oak forest to the east, but I just heard that the forest over there is very strange, and there is a towering man-eating tree growing in it! "

"I saw that tree and it's so tall, you planted it right? That's pretty cool!"

Matthew takes a quick look at Jeff.

It was found that all the clothes, accessories and backpacks on his body had been replaced with expensive items that were several grades higher than before.

So Matthew corrected him:

"That's the world tree, not the cannibal tree."

"Where have you been during this time?"

Jeff laughed:
"Sorry, Matthew, I can't say."

"Anyway, I've had good luck, and I'm fully developed!"

"I am no longer a poor boy who is spurned and suspected by others. After meeting you, I will leave Rolling Stone Town and start a new chapter in my life!"

talking.

He carefully took out a small bag of heavy things and handed it to Matthew.

"You take it."

"I don't charge you money, I know you need this, you are a very down-to-earth tree planting mage."

Jeff said triumphantly:

"You don't have to thank me too much for helping me back then, it's just a gift."

Finish this sentence.

He patted his clothes with relief, then waved to Matthew:
"Goodbye, then, Matthew."

Matthew stopped him:

"Are you sure it's okay?"

Jeff walked with fluttering steps without looking back:

"When you're not poor anymore, what's the problem?"

Matthew couldn't help throwing a detect evil at him, but until Jeff's back disappeared, there was no abnormal reaction to the effect of the spell.

He opened the bag silently.

A golden light came out of it!

……

"Hint: You have obtained a small bag of "Holy Oak Seeds (Natural Wonders)"!"

……

Matthew raised his head suddenly. He turned into a raven and tried to catch up with Jeff, wanting to ask him where the seed came from.

Surprisingly.

Jeff has completely disappeared in the empty streets and alleys of the mage district.

"This guy, doesn't he join some criminal organization?"

"But he promised me not to be a three-handed person anymore, and he doesn't look guilty. Could it be that he was cheated? Or someone wants to cheat me through him?"

"But as for fishing with such a precious thing as holy oak seeds?"

Go all the way to the Lord's Hall.

Matthew was thinking about it.

Routine morning meeting.

Matthew took the lead in telling the two about his discovery of the sulfur mine.

After a brief discussion between Rega and Zeller, they initially formulated a framework for developing sulfur mines.

Simultaneously.

Matthew also took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to officially receive the criminals in the prison into his own cemetery.

He had already prepared the dungeon area and labor reformation workshop for them.

Now the discovery of sulfur ore can make the labor reformation workshop come in handy. The sulfur as the main material of Blazing Glue will be initially refined in the cemetery, together with other materials provided by Rhaegar's Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce.

Arsonists will be asked to make a steady stream of blazing glue and dragon oil for Matthew in his graveyard.

These two props are very popular no matter where they are.

What's more, the craftsmanship of the arsonists was recognized by Matthew.

For this plan, Rega welcomed it with both hands. He has long been tired of this group of guys who eat and don't work.

And Zeller told Matthew cautiously:

"There may be certain risks in letting arsonists make blazing glue."

Matthew is full of confidence in this:
"As long as they enter my cemetery, they will never have the thought of committing a crime."

"I'll let the ghosts suck some of their energy and make them depressed; then I'll let the skeletons and zombies stand by as supervisors, and at the same time warn them of their fate if they dare to rebel."

"Actually, if they really rebel, wouldn't it be good news for Rolling Stone Town? At least there is a chance to kill them in a legitimate way, and I will also have a batch of undead serving me. The production of Blazing Glue , the big deal is to seriously recruit a group of workers!"

Seeing that Matthew is so determined.

Zeller didn't say anything, and said that at the latest this afternoon, the prisoner would be handed over to Matthew's cemetery.

Matthew got a batch of free labor as he wished, and leaned on the sofa contentedly.

"Is there any news in Rolling Stone Town recently?"

he asked casually.

Rega shook his head, and opened a newspaper:
"The recent news happened in Gaoyeling. It is said that when the army of Hongtu Mountain crossed the golden fertile field and tried to attack the Gaoyeling itself, they were attacked by a black dragon and suffered heavy casualties in the end.

Li Weiqi and Huo Wen summoned back and said that the black dragon suspected to have reached some kind of agreement with Gao Yeling.

He occupied the mountainous land near Alpine Reservoir.

The current situation in Gao Yeling is still very chaotic, with small-scale fights happening every day. "

Zeller nodded:

"Recently, the number of refugees coming from Gao Yeling to seek refuge with their relatives has increased sharply. I have arranged for the guards to step up patrolling. It should not affect the law and order of Rolling Stone Town in the short term."

Matthew stretched his waist, he was very satisfied with the calm situation.

Thinking about it, Lorraine has gone to Gao Yeling. There must be no big news in Rolling Stone Town in the short term.

After a while.

Rega suddenly said:
"There's also something big going on at Warden's Heights.

It is said that several groups of evil organizations gathered together and launched a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Druid Order.

That night, it was said that there was also agitation in the aftermath of Dead Scar near Warden's Heights.

Some residents claimed to have witnessed a super huge figure, which was as tall as two or three hills.

The Order of Druids appeals to the League of the Seven Saints.

The alliance is currently still setting up an investigation team.

But according to my estimation, mages don't care about this kind of thing at all, and they just put on a show.

It said that the main force of the attack that night was suspected to be the Blight Organization from the Helen Mountain Range, and their leader was a guy called the King of Blight.

What a shit!
The Helen Mountains are thousands of miles away from the Watcher's Heights.

Did they come here as a hot air balloon? "

Lei Jia complained a few words, then suddenly laughed again:
"If you hadn't come to work every day recently, I would suspect that you organized this raid.

After all, the newspaper said that the biggest loss of the Druid Order this time was some holy oak seeds.

Seems like something you'd be interested in. "

Hear this.

Matthew suddenly felt that the small bag of seeds in his arms became a little hot.

Jeff sure has a problem!
This guy wouldn't really be involved in the attack on the Druid Order, would he?

It doesn't look like it.

He is just a mortal, at most he has a little bit of petty theft ability, and his level will not exceed LV3.

How could it be related to the criminal organization in the north?
Matthew is still thinking about what to do with the bag of seeds.

Mrs. Wesley rarely walked in when no one was summoned:
"Those maids came to me in a panic and said that there was something wrong with Sif's body temperature. I went to see it, and it was really serious. Her heartbeat was a little unstable."

Rhaegar mused:
"Let me go and have a look, but it shouldn't be a big problem. The body temperature of the blood flag family can reach a maximum temperature of more than 50 degrees."

Mrs. Wesley shook her head:
"This child's condition is completely different from yours when you were a child. I have never seen a child with such a severe body temperature attack, but no emotional change."

"She may have buried herself too deep, you know what I mean, Rhaegar?"

Rhaegar nodded solemnly.

He lifted his foot and walked towards the backyard of the Lord's Mansion.

Zeller patted Matthew on the shoulder:

"Let's go take a look too."

The backyard of the Lord's Mansion.

Outside Sif's room, a little devil was hooking its tail on the chandelier, hanging upside down in mid-air bored.

Until the sound of footsteps.

She obediently jumped to the ground.

"Nini? You came out? How is Sif?"

Rhaegar looked at the little devil in surprise.

The little devil said old-fashionedly:

"You also know that little master Sif has never liked me, so whenever she has a little strength, she will seal me up and prevent me from moving freely."

"So her current condition is probably very bad. I saw that she has grown horns, but only a little bit, and it's soft. It doesn't have the demeanor of a high-ranking devil at all!"

Her voice is delicate and very nice.

Rega came to Sif's bedside, stretched out his hand and pressed her forehead, with an unpredictable expression.

Matthew also walked in to check on Sif's condition.

She is wearing a very thin pajamas now.

His face was very pale.

The whole body showed a very unnatural stiffness.

most abrupt.

It's the cute little horn growing out of her forehead.

The horns are flesh-pink, only a small pinch, and they don't look sharp, but have an unspeakable childishness.

Look at that horn.

Matthew felt a little strange in his heart. He had seen Rhaegar's second form, which was obviously two horns growing on both sides, somewhat similar to a goat.

Why does Sif only have one, and it grows in the middle, a bit like a unicorn?
He lost a detect life.

It was found that Sif's vital signs were very weak, which obviously cannot be explained by the awakening of the blood.

"I need a bucket of ice water, a big bucket!"

Rega's tone was a little anxious.

Matthew immediately said:
"Just have someone bring the bucket over."

Soon, a strong servant carried a wooden barrel to Sif's bedroom.

Matthew first threw a trick towards it: make water, and then used water manipulation to pull a wave of water from a nearby well.

Then he dropped a Frostpath to cool the water.

Soon, a bucket of near-zero water was completed.

Rhaegar picked up Sif and was about to throw her into the barrel.

Matthew hurriedly stopped and said:
"Would she not be able to bear this?"

Rhaegar shook his head and said:
"The devil's body is much stronger than you can imagine. Don't worry, Matthew, I am her father, and I know what she needs."

After thinking about it, Matthew stepped aside:
"Sorry, Rhaegar."

Rega didn't say anything, he slowly put Sif's body into the barrel.

Gollum.

Some bubbles popped up.

A faint mist rose from the surface of the water.

So soaked for five or six minutes.

Zeller pinched a few more large ice cubes and handed them to Rega to throw into the barrel.

After half an hour.

Rhaegar walked out of Sif's bedroom and said to the two men at the door:

"Sif's condition has stabilized, and she should have no more problems in the short term.

But her awakening state was indeed very strange. After she woke up, her consciousness was very clear, and her personality didn't change at all—let alone a change, there wasn't even a slight fluctuation.

This is too inconsistent with the devil's common sense!
The devil is a conformist guy all his life.

But only during the awakening period.

They can become very rebellious and crazy.

Not so with Sif.

Although I am not particularly worried about whether she can awaken successfully.

But just to be on the safe side.

I plan to go back to my hometown soon.

Look through the information and ask those old men in the castle. "

Matthew raised an eyebrow.

The hometown Rhaegar mentioned.

That must refer to the Blood Banner Kingdom located in Purgatory!

Bring this up.

Rhaegar looked like he was moaning.

Matthew couldn't help but curiously said:
"Is it such a torture for you to go home?"

Rhaegar said nothing.

Or Zeller said with a smile:

"As the 27th heir to the Blood Banner Kingdom, the first 26 are all women.

Although the devils allow women to inherit the throne, Rhaegar, as a rare male, theoretically also has the responsibility to spread the branches and leaves for the family.

And in order to ensure that the blood of the upper-level devils is not diluted, the unspoken rule within the Blood Banner family is that close relatives match.

Rhaegar escaped from purgatory.

Although many years have passed, if he goes back now, there is still a high probability that he will be pulled to breed.

And the target object may be a higher heir.

That is Rhaegar's sisters. "

After listening, Rega seriously corrected and said:

"And the aunts."

After hearing this, Matthew secretly clicked his tongue.

It's a pity that he can't help much about Sif's awakening.

All I can do now is pray for her silently.

By the way, I wish Rhaegar all the best in his journey to purgatory.

……

in the afternoon.

Matthew had just returned to the oak woods.

An ecstatic voice came over:
"It's done, it's done!"

"We're done, Matthew!"

……

"Reminder: Your partner Eli and your servant Obest have initially completed the layout of the ritual field "Life Sanctuary"!

WARNING: Sanctuary of Life is in conflict with Cemetery, try to coordinate? "

……
