The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 175 Who Stole Our Sulfur?
……

After chatting with Little Parton for a few words, Matthew asked him to wait in the cemetery, while he quickly changed his clothes and rode Pegasus to Rolling Stone Town.

Tonight is Rhaegar's day to go to Purgatory.

Matthew intends to see him off.

Oli's speed is very fast. It used to take half an hour to walk, but now it only takes less than 5 minutes to arrive.

This provided Matthew with great convenience.

After entering the town, he found a hidden place to land, and Ollie disguised herself as an ordinary horse in a very humane way.

Matthew came to the camp next to the Lord's Mansion, told Ollie to wait here, and walked in without a rope.

Rhaegar's actions tonight are a secret.

Few people in the Lord's Guard knew about it.

Matthew walked all the way, greeted the knights standing guard, and came to the basement unimpeded all the way.

He waited for a while before Zeller arrived in a hurry.

Rhaegar and the two knights who walked with him - Asma and Dulin were later.

Today it is today.

With Rhaegar and Zeller's disclosure, Matthew has a clearer understanding of the portal and the situation in the Blood Banner Kingdom.

The current portal is half active.

This means that Rolling Stone Town can freely control the opening or closing of the teleportation gate, while the teleportation array located in the Blood Banner Kingdom at the other end can only passively accept the arrangement here.

The two knights, Asma and Du Lin, rushed back to rescue them at first because of the news that the three major evil organizations were besieging Rolling Stone Town.

When they came back, they found that the evil organization had disbanded, and they asked Rhaegar to open the door to purgatory.

They knew that Rhaegar would go to the edge of purgatory to hunt regularly, so they applied to do it for them.

These two knights returned from purgatory about the day before yesterday.

Matthew failed to meet them face to face, and the information he knew was also provided by Rega during the chat.

It is said that these two knights took advantage of the opportunity of the confrontation between the Blood Banner Kingdom and the Bru tribe, and took the time to hunt and kill many demons and demons. This expedition has harvested a lot of high-level loot that can only be obtained from the lower planes.

This wave of loot could provide a boost to Rolling Stone's finances.

Only then did Matthew deeply understand the financial model of Rolling Stone Town——

No wonder Lei Jia was able to maintain such a generous internal policy while accumulating considerable wealth of his own.

to be honest.

It is gentle at home and plundering abroad.

The peace and tranquility of Rolling Stone Town is actually a realistic fairy tale woven by Rega himself.

Many industries are supported by the city hall at a loss.

Behind the happy smile of every Rolling Stone townsman living and working in peace and contentment, there may be a devil's corpse lying in a pool of blood.

It sounds funny, but it's the truth.

In this regard, Matthew only has two comments——

The first is very good;
Second, fortunately, I am not a lord, otherwise I would have too many things to worry about.

Even though he holds the portal to purgatory, hunting devils is no joke.

The risks inherent in this are much greater than plundering surrounding villages.

Matthew pondered that Rhaegar looked idle, but in fact, he probably put most of his energy on this aspect.

When Rhaegar and the other two knights arrived.

They are still talking.

"The changes in Escana (between Purgatory) are more exaggerated than you can imagine. We haven't been there for a few years, but we found that it has changed a lot."

"Whether it's in the territory of the Blood Banner or the Bru tribe, there are huge rune stones, rune antennas, and pillars of light that transmit energy standing on the side of their roads."

"The speed at which their technology is updated is astonishing. I suspect that there are shadows of outer planes or even gods behind both sides."

Asma walked while adjusting the shoulder armor on her body.

Matthew noticed that it seemed to be a type of implanted construct.

When Suriel talked about the construction technique before, he said that devils are good at implanted construction, and Asma and Du Lin have a strong shadow of implanted construction.

However, their structures are indeed relatively obvious, even if they are implanted inside the body, they can be easily distinguished by the naked eye.

But Matthew couldn't quite understand what they were talking about.

He only knew that the plane where the Blood Banner Kingdom was located was called Escana, and Escana was actually an area bordering purgatory and the abyss in disguise.

There live a large number of Terrans, Tieflings (half-demons) and daemons (half-demons).

The human race lives in the Holy Fort far away from the battlefield, the tiefling is centered on the Blood Banner Kingdom, and the devil people form the Bru tribe.

The latter two have been in constant friction recently, and the battle situation is erratic.

"It's not that exaggerated. I also went to the "Deer Hunting Plain" last year. Although the devils have new weapons, their combat effectiveness has not increased significantly. "

Faced with Asma's reminder, Rhaegar seemed disapproving.

Du Lin interjected:
"Rega, you'd better believe what we've seen and heard. I've asked your knights. In order to reduce the damage ratio as much as possible, you have been leading them to plunder small marginal forces for the past few years. You have never been close to Egypt. Heartland of Skarner."

"But we are different. This time we went to the vicinity of the "Old King's Capital". The tribe there not only updated new equipment, but also mastered a very strange resurrection technique! "

"Otherwise, how could Asma and I get hurt?"

Rega frowned upon hearing this, then nodded:
"I understand, I will be careful, and when "Red and Black" arrives, I will ask someone to clarify. "

"Damn it, it's another change. There are so many changes these days. Even Purgatory is changing with each passing day. What do the prisoners in Tianlun Palace want to do?"

No one could answer his question.

Asma adjusted the shoulder armor for a long time but still failed, and finally had to force the protruding metal block back:
"This should be an industrial injury. When we arrive at Castle Red and Black, you should be able to find a suitable builder to handle it for me, right?"

Regabi gave a gesture of affirmation:

"The premise is that they still recognize me as an unworthy descendant."

Du Lin snickered and said:
"They must recognize you. I heard that the people in power in the Blood Banner Kingdom are all women, and they want you so much."

Rhaegar shuddered.

The original steady pace of moving forward has also slowed down a lot.

Go into the basement.

Several people greeted each other.

Rhaegar took out a palm-sized purple crystal ball and placed it in the pool next to the portal.

Followed by.

The entire gate was lit up with a dark red light.

This is a sign that the interplanetary portal is being activated.

It takes about 5-10 minutes for the portal to be officially used.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Matthew handed a distress scroll to Rega:

"Don't expect it to be of any use. Even if you successfully tear it up, I can only receive your coordinates and news after 1-2 days."

While putting away the scroll for help, Rhaegar complained:

"Aren't mages able to come and go freely in all major planes?"

Matthew nodded:

"Of course, wait for my legend."

Rhaegar asked:
"How many years do you need to become a legend?"

Matthew thought about it:
"In about 50 years?"

Du Lin laughed again, and it could be seen that the female knight's smile was very low.

She obviously thought Matthew was joking.

Rega made the calculations:
"According to the average life expectancy of the Blood Banner family, I have about 150 years to live, so I should be able to live to the day of your legend."

"Remember to take me to experience the legendary plane travel."

Matthew smiled:
"As long as you can live to that day, yes."

"Take care of yourself."

Rhaegar nodded solemnly.

He chatted with Zeller about things in the west, and it didn't take long for the portal to be used.

Asma stepped into the door first, followed by Du Lin.

Rhaegar waved at the two of them, and walked towards the portal fully armed.

When approaching the door.

He suddenly stopped and turned around and said:

"In case something happens to me, do you remember how to arrange the successor of Rolling Stone Town?"

Zeller said quietly:

"The first pick is Sif, the second pick is Patton Jr., and the third pick is Brad."

"If Sif is unwilling to become the lord of Rolling Stone Town, then little Patton will take up this position directly."

Rhaegar nodded:

"Right."

"Don't worry, I'm just going home, I won't die that easily, just don't worry before parting, please confirm."

"I'm gone, and I won't see you for at least three months. Don't miss me too much."

talking.

He strode into the portal with quick strides.

Until the light of the gate began to go out.

Zeller suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"what happened?"

Matthew asked.

"Every time Rega uses the teleportation array, there will be some small problems. Today's luck is good, and even the space-time crack that has never been absent has not appeared."

Zeller said with relief.

Matthew asked sharply:
"Have space-time cracks formed in previous years?"

Zeller nodded:

"Yes, every time, it lasts at least a week, pointing to the unknown place of purgatory, sometimes Rhaegar has just left, and we have to clean up the little devils he provoked, although they are also good materials, but there are Sometimes too many can be nerve-wracking.”

Matthew's heart skipped a beat.

Is it possible that the space-time rift just changed its location, rather than not appearing?

Think about this.

Before he had time to say hello to Zeller, he rushed out of the barracks, rode on Ollie, and hurried towards the oak forest!

After a while.

In the dungeon.

Matthew changed to Red Flame Nightmare in the cemetery and rushed to the sulfur mine first.

Fortunately, when he arrived, nothing unusual happened.

After a while.

Little Patton also rushed over panting.

Seeing that the workers were all arranged by Matthew to rest outside.

He asked breathlessly:

"Did something happen?"

Matthew walked slowly in the sulfur mine, carefully sensing everything around him.

He has actually been here three times already, but even with balanced perception enabled, he still hasn't found the space-time gap he expected.

So before he thought it was his own misjudgment.

But now it seems that the sulfur in the mine is most likely related to the space-time rift caused by Rhaegar's use of the purgatory portal.

Not long ago, Asma and the others used the portal once.

It is possible that from that time on, the space-time rift was transferred to the dungeon by chance.

It is only a dozen kilometers away from the Lord's Mansion. From the perspective of plane science, the transfer of time and space rifts is theoretically possible.

"I just have a certain guess about the abnormal situation here."

"I'll be staying here tonight until the cause is found out."

While responding to little Patton, Matthew checked the situation of the mine, and by the way, he also summoned A Bing and Renesmee.

Little Patton was very courageous, and immediately rolled up his sleeves when he heard the words:
"Then I'll be with you."

He saw Matthew looking around, and he also checked the mine for abnormalities.

It's a pity that the two have been busy for more than an hour, but they still haven't found anything abnormal.

Matthew brought a chair from the workers' section and sat down.

Little Patton followed suit.

Under the illumination of the mage's hand and the lighting stone, Matthew suddenly discovered that little Parton and Rhaegar were somewhat similar.

The last time the two met was at the ball welcoming Lorraine. At that time, the lights were dim and Matthew couldn't see clearly.

Taking a closer look this time, this kid is definitely a little Lei Jia!

In comparison, Brad, who is also Rhaegar's nephew, is not like him at all.

Thinking of Rhaegar, when he was arranging the affairs of the funeral, he mentioned the succession of Parton Jr. before Brad.

Matthew suddenly became interested in this young man who had lost his position as a tax officer due to a willow disease:

"What do you think of your uncle?"

Little Parton looked a little surprised:

"Uncle? You mean Rhaegar?"

Matthew nodded.

"He... just a bad guy."

The guy was surprisingly daring to speak.

"Then how much do you know about his relationship with the Blood Banner Kingdom?"

Matthew asked again.

Little Patton waved his hand and opened up the conversation:

"Theoretically, I also have the blood of the Blood Banner family, but in real life, if it's rare, it doesn't exist.

I dreamed of becoming a mage when I was a child, but they told me I had no talent;
So then I wanted to be a knight, but they told me I was weak;
Later, when I was a mess, I wanted to be a dandy who ate, drank and had fun, but my mother told me that there was no such thing.

Our family's prosperity is all dependent on my mother's beggars and Rega's kinship, and now we have today in Rolling Stone Town.

Let me secretly tell you a secret, in fact, I suspect that my mother is not Rhaegar's cousin at all!

Maybe they just look alike, and my mother just happens to be a bit of Purgatory.

But she gave birth to me, and many people said I looked like Rhaegar, which made my mother very happy.

For a while, she mentioned it to everyone she met.

But gradually, such an outrageous rumor spread in Rolling Stone Town——

They say I'm actually Rhaegar's bastard son.

Oh shit.

Can those idiots take a look at my mother's face and figure before spreading rumors?
Well, although it's not a good way to say it, I love Liz very much, she is my mother.

But I also know very well that it is impossible to like her with Rega's aesthetics.

Anyway, after the rumor passed, my mother never mentioned it again.

She seemed to subconsciously alienate me from this incident.

I guess she was worried that Rhaegar would be upset by this matter.

After all, our family is all pointing at this uncle. "

Matthew looked at each other with great interest:

"You are quite transparent."

Little Patton said indifferently:

"When you are like me and have no achievements in anything, it becomes natural to give up on yourself. After a long time, many reasons are self-evident."

"Sometimes, I really feel that many people in this world are not as smart as me, but for some reason, they always succeed easily, and I have not achieved anything so far."

After thinking about it, Matthew took the initiative to ask another question:
"What would you do if you had an army of demons from purgatory in your hand, just as war was about to break out right now?"

Little Parton smiled easily:
"Rega asked me this question not long ago, isn't he still troubled by the portal?"

Matthew was secretly startled.

He didn't expect Rhaegar to trust little Patton so much, and even discussed such a core secret with him, no wonder he was behind Sif.

So Matthew continued to ask:

"That's the matter, but Rhaegar has finally made a decision, I just want to know your opinion."

Little Patton stretched his waist:

"So far, no devil has been seen in Rolling Stone Town, which shows that my uncle who is so good has made a stupid decision.

Is he naive to think that he can live in peace with other forces? "

Matthew took out two cups from his luggage, filled them with milk, and handed a cup to the other party:

"So, you don't agree with Rhaegar's decision to refuse to introduce the devil army?"

Little Patton held the milk in his hands, and rubbed the cup between his hands:

"If you carry a sharp weapon and don't use it, you will be hurt by the sharp weapon-this is a proverb I read in an ancient book."

"It's not that I'm not optimistic about Rega's decision, but I'm not optimistic about every decision he makes."

"Although it's a little heartless for me to say this, the fact is that it's not just our family in Rolling Stone who lives by sucking Rega's blood.

I clearly realize that my current standard of living is due to Rhaegar's kindness and fantasy.

But some people don't realize this.

Of course, as long as Rhaegar is willing, it doesn't matter whether people appreciate it or not.

But the key is, how long can Rhaegar last?

The development of Rolling Stone Town has been a fairy-tale miracle so far.

If there is nothing wrong with the four realms in the future, maybe this miracle will continue for many years.

But you also said that war is coming.

If Rhaegar can't, he doesn't even want to become king.

How long can the current situation last? "

That's it.

He gulped down the milk, then burped:
“Amazing milk!”

"Um, what I just said is just a family opinion, and it has no reference value. I hope that Rolling Stone Town will continue to prosper. Only in this way, useless rice bugs like me can continue to lie happily on Rega's body and suck blood."

Little Patton laughed at himself, got up and said to go to the toilet next to him.

Matthew sat there with a lot of thoughts in his head.

But at this time.

There was a whimpering wind above his head.

Followed by.

It's just a bang.

A huge sulfur rock fell from above, and if Matthew hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost brushed it aside!
"what!"

Just walking to the side, Little Patton, who unbuttoned his pants for convenience, screamed.

But in the darkness, a monster that looked like a blowfly but hundreds of times bigger in size flew towards him.

"Fuck you mother, I'll be shocked even if I pee!"

This guy was very courageous, put down his pants, pulled out a one-handed sword with his backhand, and just fought with that huge blowfly naked.

And beside Matthew, a similar monster appeared.

The other party came very quickly, and Matthew reacted even faster. He took out a mace from the shortcut bar of Miaofa Luggage and went down with a hammer.

Needless to say, the melee hammer is still easy to use.

The blowfly obviously wanted to dodge it, but before he could dodge it, he was directly hammered to the ground by Matthew.

The horse repaired it with a hammer and killed it.

at the same time.

Little Parton also used a one-handed sword to fly off the monster's wings, and then killed it with a single sword.

"It's the Fly Demon!"

Matthew reminded:
"This is a kind of demon, but the level is relatively low, so don't be afraid."

"Come over to me first, there may be other demons appearing!"

It's too late to say.

In the darkness where the Fly Demon appeared at first, two strong men with bull heads appeared again.

They wear heavy armor.

The road is stubbornly windy.

Seeing this, little Patton quickly stepped back with his pants up.

Matthew immediately asked A Bing to go over to meet him.

……

"Warning: You have encountered a Minotaur (LV12/Elite/Large Demon)"

……

A Minotaur is not a Minotaur.

The difference is that the former is a kind of demon. They have extremely sharp teeth, which are in stark contrast to the flat molars of the tauren who have vegetarian habits.

As soon as the two minotaurs appeared, they roared and chattered.

Matthew lost his proficiency in languages. Who knew that the bird language spoken by the Minotaur was so uncommon that he couldn't even determine this spell.

When Matthew saw this, he planned to finish the fight.

But at this moment, I heard little Patton translate while retreating:

"They asked us, who stole their brimstone?"

"If you don't tell me, they will take me back as their wife!"

"Damn it, can't these demons tell the difference between male and female?"

"I didn't even have my pants on! Are they blind?"

Matthew silently watched the green eyes of the Minotaur, and said casually:
"They probably like you too much."

"Can you translate for me?"

While talking, those two Minotaurs were already rushing forward with huge axes!

Little Patton lowered his head and rolled, and asked loudly:
"Do you want to translate?"

Matthew said in a steady tone:

"Not now."

"Just be ready to translate their last words."

The voice fell.

He raised his hand, and a gray light of magic flung at the Minotaur.

Dissociation!
