The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 436 The tauren’s special martial arts
……

This guy is really stealing food!

Matthew penetrated his spiritual power into the inside of Yeager's Blade, in that desolate world composed of desert and darkness.

A large number of resentful spirits and residual thoughts are wandering involuntarily between heaven and earth.

And right in the middle of the desert.

There is an altar rising into the sky.

Strange light pillars lit up around the altar.

Those light pillars seemed to have irresistible gravity, and a large number of souls and soul fragments gathered near the light pillars.

A white light shone on the altar.

From time to time, soul fragments are submerged in the white light.

Completely turned into a point of light amidst a burst of heart-rending wails!
Matthew made a preliminary estimate of the quantity.

Good guy.

At least two-thirds of the souls of nearly two hundred fishmen gathered on the altar!
Consider the part that has been digested by the altar.

I'm afraid that less than one-fifth of the energy actually fell into Matthew's hands and was used to strengthen the negative energy heart!

Matthew could feel it.

The altar and light pillar in the middle of the desert pose no threat to his spiritual power.

So he controlled that bit of mental power and continued to get closer.

Not long after.

He could clearly see the poor souls tied to the beam of light.

These light pillars themselves seem to have the ability to absorb and pull souls.

There seems to be competition between the light beams.

Therefore, many murloc souls were torn apart by various powerful forces before being sucked into the light pillar.

But even if it is broken into countless soul fragments.

They are also the objects that light pillars and altars compete for food.

There is only one exception.

That is the soul of the troll princess Riki!

She at this moment.

He is being entangled by countless resentful spirits and residual thoughts.

Fear was written on her face.

Matthew noticed.

There is a pink film on the outside of her spirit body that looks thin but is actually extremely strong.

From time to time, lines of complex text flowed on the film.

That is the spell of the giant magician to protect the soul!
"The troll royal family is really different."

"The legacy of the former empire is still there..."

Matthew nodded secretly in his mind.

Compared with the fish people, Ricky is quite tenacious.

She wasn't even sucked into the light pillar, she was just affected by the gravitational force and kept wandering on the edge of this area.

But at this time.

A high-speed rotating vortex of light suddenly appeared on the altar.

The vortex stirred up the turbulence of the force field.

Just for a moment.

The force field around Ricky changed drastically.

She began to drift towards the altar involuntarily.

Matthew can also feel the desire of Yeager's Blade from the depths of his soul!
"Roar--!"

The altar roared like this, vaguely warning Matthew not to disturb its feeding.

"Sorry, but I have another use for this soul."

Matthew thought like this as he headed towards the altar.

Then he unfolded his spiritual power.

It turned into a slender thread and was delicately wrapped around Ruiqi's neck.

The thread suddenly became tight.

Ricky's spirit body instinctively covered its neck, as if it couldn't breathe.

But next second.

The residual thoughts and resentful spirits that surrounded her and wanted to tear her soul apart all escaped.

The undercurrent rushing towards the altar also disappeared in an instant.

She stood there bewildered.

after a long time.

She covered her neck as if she had just woken up from a dream, and then carefully protected the thin collar-like string around her neck.

……

Hint: You made a deal with the Blade of Jaeger.

You must feed it at least two high-quality souls to appease the wrath of the Blade of Jaeger.

Lasts for one week.

The Blade of Yeager is impatient. Once you fail to fulfill your promise, it is likely to betray you or leave you...

……

Finally, he stabilized the furious Yeager Blade.

Matthew brought his attention back to reality.

It was at that moment.

He heard Anne Salvins' heavy breathing.

Matthew raised his eyelids——

This troll woman is too close!

"Want to rob?"

Matthew asked bluntly.

Anne took half a step back as if she had just woken up from a dream. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, but her tone was quite calm:

"No."

"I just hope you can let Ricky go, that's all."

"The conditions I just gave are very sincere. I hope you can consider them properly..."

Although the other party dealt with it quite calmly.

But Matthew still noticed Annie's nervousness from her body movements.

This is a very subtle mood swing.

Matthew can even dissect a trace of the hidden murderous intention from it!
of course.

That ray of murderous intent was just a fleeting thought.

Anne herself was probably shocked by this crazy idea.

After all, don't look at Matthew standing there in a daze for a while.

Peggy and Abing, two genuine legendary immortals, have always been guarding Matthew like two door gods.

No sane person would do this.

Matthew would not kill Annie and others just because of that ray of murderous intention——

He is not such a cruel person.

Furthermore.

Uncertain killing intent comes from fear, and fear is a good tool for playing with people's hearts.

As a necromancer who is maturing day by day.

Matthew has gradually discovered the ways and benefits of fear.

He wouldn't mind further exploring and applying it in practice.

"I was able to decipher so many emotional changes from just two or three looks from this troll woman. My perception has become much sharper!"

This is what surprises Matthew the most.

But he also knew it very well.

This is the perception correction brought about by correcting the level to the legendary realm.

With the blessing of the profession of Balance Messenger.

His perception is far beyond ordinary people.

And after entering the legend.

This increase will be doubled. Specifically, Matthew has mastered a wonderful ability that combines mind reading and sixth sense.

This capability is currently in the works.

It is estimated that when he truly breaks through to legend, he will be able to embrace this ability!
"I'm thinking about it."

Matthew said slowly:
"Frankly speaking, I have no objections to the Troll Kingdom, and I even have a good impression of it. If given the opportunity, I would like to go to the Iron City to improve my understanding of the kingdom under the Salvins family."

Matthew's words were not meant as a compliment.

The troll family has a very deep heritage, and Matthew's current situation requires him to establish good relationships with other powerful forces outside the alliance.

In order to avoid the dilemma of a rapid decline in influence after parting ways with the alliance in the future.

in this regard.

Jade Cangting and the wood elves are the best candidates to win over, and his relationship with Terrast is also above average;
And in comparison.

Although the Troll Kingdom is a bit far away, its strength must be far above the Jade Cangting.

Matthew wants to have a good relationship with the troll kingdom.

Provided that.

The initiative must be in his hands!

"I also appreciate your decisiveness and wisdom."

Matthew continued:
"But you seem to have some misunderstanding about my personality. I am not a despicable person, so I will never take the opportunity to blackmail you into becoming my woman."

"Even if I have feelings about you as a man and a woman, I will slowly get to know you through other channels instead of asking you to pay anything now..."

"I will release Princess Riki."

Hear this.

Anne suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

The way she looked at Matthew became more complicated. Among the many emotions, appreciation accounted for the majority.

But the next second.

But I heard Matthew say kindly:
"but not now."

"Although you think this is just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding has occurred. The small conflict just now makes it impossible for me to fully trust you."

"I believe in your character, but your men... I'm not convinced."

talking.

His eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the troll warriors near the flower garden.

Holiday snorted coldly:
"I will never disobey Her Royal Highness the Princess's order!"

"If she doesn't let me do anything to you, I won't touch you at all!"

Peggy interjected:
"What if your highness the princess asks you to eat shit?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking, nothing else."

Holiday said angrily:

"She wouldn't do that!"

Peggy thought for a while:
"That's right. This princess is so decent and generous. At first glance, she doesn't look like someone who would make such obscene requests."

Holiday's expression softened slightly.

But in the blink of an eye, Peggy asked again:
"But what if it's the princess's husband who asks you to eat shit?"

Holiday was furious:
"What are you talking about?"

"Uncultured skeleton! Let me teach you a lesson for your master!"

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a long rusty knife and was about to vent his anger on Peggy.

However, Matthew and Peggy didn't wait for a reaction.

Annie Salvins rushed over and kicked Holiday in the chest who had just rushed in!
boom!
The Troll Warrior's body fell backwards violently. He completely lost his balance. He took a few steps back violently and slammed into a broken wall, kicking up some dust again.

"That's enough, Holiday!"

Anne angrily said:
"Are you going to kill my sister?"

Holiday choked on the dust a few times, his face full of anger and pain. He gritted his teeth and roared:

"We cannot be at his mercy."

"He's the Necromancer!"

"We can't trust him!"

"Even if you really give yourself to him, he will not fulfill his promise to let Princess Ruiqi go. Believe me, you will fall together!"

"Trust me, Annie!"

He scrambled to his feet and tried to grab Anne's shoulders.

Yet what greeted him.

Another merciless stampede!

Snapped!
The thick boots stepped on Holiday's chest, and Annie's eyes were also full of anger:

"I am the princess!"

"If you can't obey my orders, then get out of here!"

"Also, don't call me Anne, call me Princess!"

Holiday's bloody lips opened slightly:

"An... Your Highness the Princess."

"I……"

His expression was painful, his eyes were full of humiliation and sorrow, and there was also a hint of pleading.

He wanted to say something else.

Matthew's cold interruption came from the side:
"enough!"

"Stop playing any sad drama in front of me."

"It makes me look like an evil villain. Others think I have done something treacherous and evil, forcing you master and servant to fight among themselves!"

"Remember, it was your sister who had bad intentions and took the initiative to break into my spell range!"

"When I was fighting the fish-men just now, you were lurking aside. Do you dare to say that you are definitely not hiding any evil intentions?"

“When you have the upper hand, you become arrogant and arrogant;
Do you know how to pretend to be wronged and pitiful when you are under the control of others? "

Matthew said with an unhappy face:
"I made it very clear."

"Rikki's soul is in my hands. I can guarantee her safety for the time being. I will also consider returning her soul to the Troll Kingdom, but I won't give it to you now. Do you understand?"

"Now, I'm leaving here. If you really care about Princess Ruiqi's life, it's best to stay far away. Don't let me misunderstand, and don't do stupid things!"

talking.

He walked towards the main road with the two legendary undead.

"and many more!"

Annie couldn't help but chase after him for a few steps.

Matthew stopped suddenly and turned back indifferently:
"what happened?"

"Ms. Salvins?"

Annie was startled by his gaze, and the words she had just thought about suddenly turned into a mess in her brain.

Between breaths.

She forced a smile on her face:
"Nothing, I just hope you can release Ricky as soon as possible and don't hurt her."

"Um, and don't call me Ms. Salvins."

"Just call me Annie."

Matthew nodded slightly: "Okay, Annie."

"Goodbye."

Done.

He took his vast army of fish-man zombie slaves and walked away without looking back.

Anne watched Matthew leave with a smile on her face.

Until the latter's back completely disappeared from sight.

Her expression instantly turned into a scowl!

boom!
Anne punched a stone pillar in the ruins, directly punching through the entire stone pillar. The broken part of the latter made a violent sound, and then fell weakly to the dust beside it.

Crash.

Smoke and dust are everywhere again.

The other trolls approached nervously, but they did not dare to get too close. Only Holiday walked through the dust silently.

"Sorry, Holiday, I used 80% of my strength in that punch just now."

Anne turned to look at him, her eyes much softer than before.

Holiday lowered his head and sighed:
"I was the one who influenced the negotiation between Her Royal Highness the Princess and that damn necromancer. I was too impulsive."

"It's my fault, I couldn't control myself."

Annie shook her head:
"not like this."

"I can understand what you think of me. As my chief warrior, I also allow you to admire me. As long as you don't cross the line, I will always regard you as the most reliable partner."

Holiday bit his lip, his face full of joy, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

The two were silent for a while.

"He's really good."

Anne suddenly said:

"I have just been looking for an opportunity to take away the dagger, and my intuition told me that the dagger is the Horcrux that traps Ricky's soul."

"But I didn't get the chance."

"If you think about it carefully, he didn't take the opportunity to threaten anything, which is already a moderate result."

"After Ricky acted recklessly, we lost the opportunity to negotiate with Matthew. Alas..."

"Obviously so young, yet so flawless..."

"He's too good to be human."

The more Holiday heard, the more something was wrong.

He asked nervously:
"Your Highness, you won't really consider marrying him, will you?"

Anne instinctively denied:

"Of course it's impossible!"

"Those things I said are all expedient measures!"

"No matter how powerful he is, he is still a human, and I heard that he has already married the princess of the Rolling Stone Kingdom. I can't really share a husband with a human bitch I have never met, right?"

A look of joy flashed across Holiday's face.

At this moment.

A troll scout stood up:
"I have collected information about Mr. Matthew before."

"Although there are rumors that he is very close to the royal family of the Rolling Stone Kingdom, and is especially ambiguous with the father and daughter of the Blood Flag family, there is no evidence for this."

"Mr. Matthew also mentioned just now that many rumors about him are not true."

"Based on my many years of experience in intelligence work, those messages were probably compiled by some unscrupulous bards to gain attention."

"The only thing that is certain is that Matthew did not marry the princess of the Rolling Stone Kingdom."

Annie was slightly startled:
"Is that right?"

The scout nodded.

Her eyes became a little subtle:

"In this case."

"It's not impossible..."

Holiday stood nearby.

His expression dimmed little by little.

……

Tip: Your tauren element +30!

As you trace back in "Authority: Lord of the Minotaurs", you realize that these elements come from the two princesses of the Troll Kingdom, "Annie Salvins" and "Rikki Salvins"!
In view of the fact that the two troll princesses have many fans and admirers in the troll kingdom, "Authority: Tauren Lord" has marked "Anne Salvins" as a key target for invasion.

You inspired the authority upgrade mission "Stronger Aggression"!
More aggressive: Capture Annie Salvins, resurrect Ricky Salvins, and bring them into the harem at the same time!
Thereafter.

Your authority will be optimized and upgraded (promotion direction: troll/harem/invasion...)
……

"Neuropathy……"

"The Minotaur is indeed not a serious authority!"

Surrounded by a group of fishmen, we came to the main road.

Matthew couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, he also understood that the current nature of this tauren realm was also defined and given by himself.

very beginning.

It is just the domain of a specific race.

Along with Matthew, various elements such as coercion, plunder, embezzlement, and corruption are added.

The tauren realm has embarked on a unique path.

While acquiring a wide variety of elements.

Matthew also recently discovered that the tauren realm is slowly encroaching on new territories!
For example, now.

The field that the tauren field is encroaching on is "sex".

And judging from the feedback from authority.

The penetration speed of the field is not slow. It can take up to three months to successfully occupy part of the field and complete the state of cross-field.

of course.

If you want to completely swallow it up and turn it into your own sub-domain, you need to work harder, fight a domain battle and gain a big victory.

But even so.

The domineering characteristics of the Tauren realm are also gradually revealed.

Matthew found out.

He used the "reproduction" field he mastered as a springboard to invade the "sex" field.

So he checked out what was going on in other areas.

If you don’t check the results, you won’t know. Once you check, you will be shocked——

Almost all fields under Matthew's control have been penetrated by the tauren field!
It's just that the penetration varies from mild to severe.

The most heavily penetrated thing is "reproduction", and the tauren field has become the "upper crossover" in the field of reproduction.

It’s no wonder that the former can be used as a springboard to attack other areas.

This phenomenon amazed Matthew.

He suddenly realized.

The field I currently control has reached an unprecedented state of equilibrium due to the checks and balances of the two major fields: Tauren and Balance!
If the realm of balance is the cornerstone for all realms to be able to coexist peacefully.

So the tauren realm opened up by Matthew has a vague sense of being superior to all realms!
"I come, I see, I conquer."

Do not know why.

This sentence came to Matthew's mind.

He has always been aware that controlling a field is hard work, and balancing a field is even more difficult.

He also spent countless nights thinking hard about whether there was a better way to deal with the relationship between these fields.

Unexpectedly.

A field that I unintentionally opened up actually solved this problem to a certain extent.

At present, Matthew's realms are getting along extremely harmoniously.

The field of tauren is also treated equally, and everyone should be penetrated...

At this time.

He suddenly remembered what Isabel said——

"Remember, a situation where there are only two forces in a stalemate is not called balance. The true balance must be between all things and transcendent above all things."

that moment.

Matthew felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart.

"Is this an unintentional act?"

Matthew quietly sensed the tauren elements that were eagerly penetrating into other realms.

immediately.

He focused his mental energy on authority again.

It happened to be at this time.

A slight throbbing came over him.

……

Tip: You have a new understanding of the tauren realm!
As the master of the realm, you will be eligible to choose a weapon as an exclusive weapon for the tauren realm.

After selection.

You can place one of this weapon into the realm.

Tauren authority will enchant this weapon into a high-level domain weapon!
……

High-level domain weapons!

Matthew couldn't help but feel moved. The absolute attributes of this thing may not be able to crush the semi-artifact, but it can definitely achieve this in terms of scarcity.

"What weapon should I choose?"

Matthew was in trouble.

He has a lot of weapons in his hands. After comparing them one by one, he always feels that they are a little inappropriate, or he has no particular urge to designate a certain item as the exclusive weapon of the tauren.

"Yes."

"Let's ask the real tauren what they think?"

Matthew asked Peggy next to him:
"What's your favorite weapon?"

Peggy took out the big bone blade from her crotch without hesitation:

"This, cut it happily!"

Matthew thought for a while:
"Besides this?"

Without saying anything, Peggy took out a black stick from her crotch:

"This, use it happily!"

Matthew was shocked.

He took a closer look and saw that the thing was actually a crowbar!
"What is this for?"

Matthew decided to trust Paige's lower limit and asked seriously.

Paige replied:

"The usage scenarios are flexible. I often use it to pry bricks."

"Pry bricks?" Matthew didn't know why.

"Huh? The walls of some houses in Rolling Stone Town are too thick to be heard. If you pry open a few bricks, you can hear them clearly."

Paige continued:

"Don't tell me, I pried and pried several times and found the gold coins hidden in the wall..."

Matthew raised his eyelids.

Peggy immediately said:
"But I didn't take it!"

"I'm not a thief!"

"I'm just paying attention to the lives of citizens!"

Fine.

Matthew took the crowbar from Peggy.

A trace of hesitation flashed deep in his heart, and then he decided to follow the real tauren's opinion.

He shoved that crowbar into authority!

……

"Tip: The authority of the Tauren Lord has been activated and is being enchanted...

You have obtained the exclusive weapon of the Minotaur Realm "Peggy's Crowbar!"

Peggy's crowbar (high-level domain weapon) has the following characteristics -

1. Demolition artifact (Peggy's crowbar can do 10 times more damage to buildings than an ordinary crowbar, and when prying open a brick, there is a chance that the entire wall or building will collapse)
2. Flexible characteristics (you can use this crowbar for different purposes, it will change its attributes according to the purpose, and obtain corresponding bonuses, for example -

When you throw a crowbar, it will automatically be considered a "thrown object" and gain additional hit and penetration modifiers;
And when you attack the enemy from behind with the crowbar, it will be converted into a "blunt weapon" and gain additional stun and shock corrections;
In the same way, it can also be transformed into sharp weapons, torture tools, fishing tools, agricultural tools, thieves' tools, sex tools, etc...

3. Enemies in the field (Peggy’s crowbar has extra destructive effects on the field. When you use the crowbar to violently attack the enemy field, its field will have a greater probability of cracking or collapsing)
4. Desecration Rod (Peggy’s crowbar can subtly penetrate and desecrate the enemy’s territory. If you can attract the overwhelming concentration of the maintainers of the territory, you are more likely to complete the occupation of the territory in a short period of time)
5. Automatic treasure hunting (Peggy’s crowbar has a natural response to treasures, gold coins, artifacts, high-level props, etc., and will automatically point in the corresponding direction;

In particular, when you lose your way in the maze, you can also use the crowbar to identify the direction. It can always lead you out of the maze! )"

……

Good guy.

Matthew's eyes were full of surprises.

With the blessing of the Minotaur Realm, Peggy's crowbar has become a weapon specifically designed to restrain the Realm!

This can play a very critical role in high-level combat!
As for other abilities such as automatic treasure hunting and artifact demolition, it is not without applicable scenarios.

In general.

Matthew is quite satisfied with this new weapon.

"We have to find a way to raise the level of the Eighteen Martial Arts..."

Think so.

From the alley on the right side of the main road near the city gate, a few people walked out quickly.

It was Matthew's companions.

"Where did you just go?"

Matthew asked.

"Hide from your soul siphon!"

Sen'er said angrily:
"You don't think we are 100% immune to soul extraction, do you?"

"That's something more terrifying than the instant death spell!"

Claire explained:

"The scene just now was too scary, Matthew. I was forced to evacuate the scene. The subsequent shock wave caused turbulence in nearby buildings. The road was blocked, and some changes occurred in the city's boundaries. We did not dare to take risks. I can only find a small road to get here..."

Jia Siliwen said with a smile:
"I just said Matthew is okay?"

"It seems he has dealt with those fishmen and turned them into our companions."

The rest of the people looked at the fish-men, combined with the previous soul siphon, and looked at Matthew with a little more awe.

After everyone gathered together, they continued to rush towards the next city area.

Soon.

They passed through the city gate cave.

But Sen'er in front suddenly turned his head and made a silent gesture.

"It's little Ingram's minion."

He spoke silently.

Everyone saw it later.

The road in the block ahead is full of elemental beings patrolling!

　I'll be traveling all day tomorrow, so I'll take a day off on the 16th. I recommend my friend Honey Chicken's new book "Rekindling the Green Age". Those who are interested in rebirth and love can read it.
