The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 459: Dark Window and Great Prophecy

……

The legendary path is finally getting better!

Matthew sensed with great joy the fusion and changes of the domain and spells within his body.

After the frosty period.

Matthew's practice of the legendary way is enough to support his promotion.

now.

Even if he does nothing and simply achieves legendary advancement by balancing life and death, he can still gain very powerful strength.

But if you do that.

It's not perfect enough.

Matthew is not an extreme perfectionist.

But when it comes to becoming a legend.

His attitude is consistent and clear——

Do whatever it takes.

Get the perfect ticket to legendary promotion!

He quietly sensed the subtle changes in the chaotic storm. It was an omen from afar, reflected directly in Matthew's mind.

"The chaos storm will officially break out soon."

"It's about two to four weeks away."

"I can also make some preparations in advance."

for this result.

Matthew was quite satisfied.

In fact, in addition to the City of Order, Canning, he also sensed a storm of chaos slowly forming in other places.

But the scale and intensity of those chaotic storms were far inferior to those of the city-state in the north.

This made Matthew curious.

The City of Order has always been famous for its strict order. It is one of the few large cities in the northern city-states that perfectly sheltered its residents during the Great Rift.

In the past six months.

Canning absorbed an unknown amount of people from surrounding cities.

Its growth trend is even greater than that of Rolling Stone City!
Even without personal inspection.

Matthew could also learn about the prosperity of the City of Order from rumors.

What exactly caused this city-state to become the outbreak site of an unprecedented storm of chaos?
Matthew's heart was filled with curiosity.

"I wonder if it has something to do with the Thorn Flower Sword..."

After the Great Rip.

A vast and fertile plain appeared in the northeast of the City of Order.

That was the change in the landscape caused by the integration of the former secondary plane, the Sword of Thorn Blossom, into the main material world.

Coincidentally.

Little Ingram, the former mayor of Canning, the City of Order, is still working in Matthew's cemetery as a headless man.

The Sword of Thorn Blossom is the hometown of the Black Dragon Mother, Aldessia, and the Hollow One Leon.

There are also clues to the Rootless River buried there.

That area and Matthew have long had an indissoluble bond.

He had always wanted to find time to go over and take a look.

However, over the past six months, the various hazards and changes brought about by the Great Rift have occupied most of his time and energy.

The crisis has now been alleviated.

This is a great opportunity for Matthew to stride forward and practice his new legendary ways!

Think about this.

Matthew sped up his efforts to sweep away the monsters along the Blackwater River.

Accompanied by the fall of one water ghost after another.

More dark slaves stood up one after another.

They followed Matthew.

Formed a huge killing team.

Later.

Wherever the team goes, they can easily strangle the monsters on the Blackwater River with just the number of dark slaves!

The night passed.

As usual, Matthew had cleaned up the Blackwater River on the eastern border of Rolling Stone City.

And behind him.

There is also an undead army numbering over a thousand people!

Some of them were dark servants, some were skeletons or zombies that Matthew had raised using the Necromancer spell, and some were undead units transformed by the Dusk Dragon.

A multi-pronged approach.

The chance of a corpse turning into an undead in Matthew's hands is greatly increased.

This ensures that no material is wasted.

It can also save time in cleaning up the battlefield and clearing corpses.

You can also add a new batch of reserve combat units to Matthew's cemetery.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Dawn.

When the light of dawn pierced into the eastern forest from the pale sky.

Small animals sparsely wandered through the sanctuary of life, enjoying the tranquility and dew of the morning light.

Silently.

A huge shadow pressed down from the sky.

The new animals ran away in a bit of panic, not understanding what was happening;
But the regular visitors to the forest are used to it.

Next to the bushes.

A black peacock with bright feathers was saying to the frightened little wild boar beside him:
"Harmful!"

"Don't be alarmed. Those are just the dead bones under Lord Matthew's command that are being collected!"

"You'll get used to it after seeing it so many times. Those dead bones are well-behaved by Master Matthew. They won't be angry even if you steal their bones!"

"By the way, dear Miss Wild Boar, I see that you are also pretty and single. Why don't you become my partner? Maybe if we work hard, we can create a new species."

"What? You are a male? I don't believe it, let me see..."

soon.

There was a commotion in the bushes, the noise even drowning out the cemetery that had quietly descended on the edge of the forest.

Forest edge.

On four towers built with mountain stones.

One by one, the undead were climbing the gently sloping ladder clumsily and laboriously.

Necromancer units are indeed quite average in their ability to walk and climb.

But by building a slope similar to an approach bridge on the scene.

Most of the undead are still able to successfully climb up to the cemetery mountain next to it through these fixed towers and bridges.

that's it.

Bathed in the light of morning light, one by one, the undead climbed up the Death Fear Cemetery suspended in mid-air with stiff movements.

The sunlight fell on their gray skin and faces.

Some moments.

It actually looks somewhat sacred!

Not far away.

Caravans heading to Matthew's Bridge passed along the path south of the forest.

The members of the caravan looked at the solemn scene as the undead climbed the stairs in awe.

This scene was not unfamiliar to them.

In the past six months.

Matthew built such "landing bridges" in many places throughout the Rolling Stone Kingdom. These buildings can better help transport the undead army on the Death Fear Cemetery Mountain.

But more.

He always does this, gathering the ever-expanding army of the undead—

Without him.

The disaster of the sky cracking and the earth collapsing brought too much trauma and death.

After half a year.

Matthew's cemetery can hardly accommodate the new dark servants and undead units!
"Is the big bunk bed on the seventh floor also filled up?"

In the cemetery.

Facing the report from White Ghost Ali.

Matthew frowned helplessly.

no way.

Too many people died.

Even though he possesses a divine artifact like the Book of the Dead, he is still working hard to upgrade the level of the cemetery in order to accommodate more undead.

But the expansion of the cemetery is far behind the increase in the number of undead.

There are now more than 50000 real undead lying in his cemetery.

This does not include the cannon fodder transformed from Jaeger's Blade and Dusk Dragon!

According to Ali.

The excessive accumulation of undead has caused the instability of the operation of the Death Fear Cemetery Mountain.

It also further dilutes the already scarce negative energy.

This increases the risk of a cemetery "crash".

"I understand."

"I will solve this problem as soon as possible. By the way, for the next half month, let Li Ruike lead the troops to patrol the north and west coasts..."

After sending Ali away.

Matthew began to think about how to deal with the increasingly bloated undead troops under his command.

According to his previous method.

The cemetery in the sampan plane is used to accommodate some temporarily useless undead.

But doing so is obviously time-consuming and laborious.

After the Great Rip.

There were also problems with the geological structure of the southern land, even though the demon boy Justin and the Death Knight Forty-Seven successfully purchased four adult burrowing worms from the gray dwarfs' underground city of Duradin.

Matthew's previous plan to build a tunnel was also put on hold indefinitely.

"Even if the tunnel is built, if it is frequently used to transport excess undead soldiers, not to mention the increased risk of exposure, the cost-effectiveness is also a bit low..."

Matthew thought quietly.

half an hour.

He decided to be bolder and more radical and solve the problem of resettling the undead army in one go.

The solution is simple.

That is to place them in a special area located in the negative energy plane.

Matthew will use the ritual field spell to transform that area into his own "private land" in the negative energy plane.

By increasing the interpenetration between this area and the material world, and by widening the opening of the negative energy channel.

He has the opportunity to build a country where the negative energy plane and the cemetery of the material world are perfectly integrated!
Introduction time.

All the extra troops in the cemetery can be driven to Xiaofei's territory.

When needed.

Then through the small boiling, they are transferred to the fusion realm and then transported to the material world.

There are many benefits to doing this.

But it also requires a lot of prerequisites.

Matthew calculated that he had already met almost all the conditions for enclosing land in the negative energy plane.

1. Enough money and resources (maintaining the fusion of planes requires a lot of energy and materials).

2. Be familiar enough with the Negative Energy Plane and have a suitable anchor point (Undead King Philolius and his King's Mountain).

3. Sufficient experience in the application of necromancy.

4. Plane fusion spell.

Among the above four points.

Only the fourth point is not possessed by Matthew for the time being.

In fact.

He had considered this plan in the past six months, but was dissuaded by the fourth point.

But things are different now.

Matthew's identity and privileges in the alliance have been restored, and he can go directly to Isabel's spell library to find sufficient spells and technical support!

As long as you have enough knowledge points.

You can learn any spell you want to learn, there is no knowledge bottleneck at all.

This is the greatest value of the alliance!
Matthew's motto is to do it as soon as he thinks of it.

That afternoon.

He then rushed into the Crucible House and searched the Alliance spell library.

With the blessing of "superb wisdom".

Matthew's mastery of new spells below Legendary difficulty was astonishingly fast.

It only took two days.

He successfully mastered three types of "plane fusion spells" related to setting up large-scale ritual venues.

Three more days passed.

On the central square of the sixth floor of the cemetery, Matthew successfully built an experimental field that blended with the valley in the heart of Xiaofei's King's Mountain.

This is actually a super large portal.

Through the window of fusion.

Undead beings can frequently travel between the material world and the negative energy plane.

When the window is opened, a large amount of negative energy and related spell support will be consumed.

Fortunately, it can be turned off when not in use.

Compared with temporary negative energy channels or large portals, the transmission efficiency of the Fusion Land is much greater because it fixes and transforms the plane layer.

According to Matthew's estimate.

As long as Xiaofei is prepared for the response, at least 10000 undead units can be teleported to each other every minute!
This is enough to satisfy Matthew's need to control the army of undead.

Subsequently.

He gave this experimental field named "Dark Window" to his mages to expand it.

The group of assistant mages and apprentices who followed Matthew to Rolling Stone City.

Now many of them have become Matthew's qualified helpers.

It might be difficult for them to preside over a ceremony alone.

But it was still very simple to implement the expansion according to the plan drawn up by Matthew.

It is because of the experience of Scar of the Dead.

Matthew cooperated with them quite happily.

Not a few days.

The area of ​​the Dark Window has expanded several times compared to before. According to this trend, they will be able to complete the goal set by Matthew before the end of the month -

That is to say, the dark window will cover the entire sixth floor of the cemetery.

And in the meantime.

Matthew, who had withdrawn from the work, also gained some new inspiration by referring to books related to "Dark Window".

With these inspirations.

He successfully developed a spell all his own.

……

"Death Fear Cemetery Summoning Spell: No matter where you are in Iendor, you can use this summoning spell to directly summon the Death Fear Cemetery to your side!
Chanting time: 180 seconds.

……

This spell is of great significance.

With this it.

Matthew can summon the support of the cemetery and the army of the dead anytime and anywhere!
But usually not needed.

He can travel alone and light.

With the continuous improvement of his magical abilities, Matthew finally gradually approached the state of his ideal necromancer!
"Three minutes of chanting is still too long."

"We need to find a way to shorten it. The Suriel Chant doesn't seem to be effective against this spell. How about trying to turn it into a signature spell?"

While thinking, Matthew stretched, took a cup of coffee, and came to the top of the cemetery to look at the scenery.

Ever since the cemetery began to slowly patrol throughout Rolling Stone City.

He developed this habit.

Climbing high and looking far can easily make a person's mood become more open.

Being with the dead and negative energy for a long time.

Matthew was inevitably infected with some depressed spirit.

Occasionally, I go to the top of the mountain to feel the breeze and look at the scenery in the distance, and my mood will become cheerful.

It happened that the cemetery passed by the World Tree Burgard at this moment.

After the Great Tear, the World Tree absorbed unprecedented nutrients, and its growth rate was astonishing.

Today, the highest point of Bogarde is over 400 meters!
Sometimes the cemetery flies so low that it is level with the top of the World Tree.

Several druids who were responsible for maintaining the canopy of the World Tree saw Matthew and saluted from a distance.

They are surrounded by many fairies of light.

These little elves are diligently following the instructions of the Heart of the World Tree, making tree houses, weaving vines, rubbing moonstones by hand, and collecting honey.

The Centaurs are building a new village in the shadow southeast of the World Tree.

further afield.

Human rangers and forest rangers led by Eugene, son of the forest, are patrolling the northern border of the pine forest.

Such an orderly and vibrant picture forms a sharp contrast with the scorched earth and uninhabited scene across the Black Water River.

Matthew saw.

A huge tree bridge slowly extended from Burgard's waist, and finally lay down like a long dragon lying down fifty or sixty meters above the Blackwater River.

Where the World Tree came into contact with the black water of the astral world, shocking decay occurred, but this did not affect Burgard's determination.

Some slime monsters are moving slowly on the rotten riverbed——

They are all offspring of the slime leader through self-division, and can use their talent for devouring to clean Burgard's rotten wounds.

And on the tree bridge.

Caravans passed by one after another.

There was anxiety on people's faces, but there were not many complaints.

“It seems that the toll on the tree bridge has not aroused the resentment of merchants.”

"I guess it's because little Patton gets a lot of wind..."

Matthew secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He himself is not actually afraid of being scolded, but he is mainly worried that Parton cannot bear the long-term infamy.

Just as he said himself.

Nowadays, the general trend among the people in the Kingdom of the Rolling Stones is "Kua Rega when there is nothing to do, and scold Parton when there is something to do."

Ordinary people would not dare to say anything about someone as aloof as Matthew.

"The toll collection for the bridge is only the first step. There are also a series of projects to come, including the issuance of Malaysian ringgit, the excavation of the moat, the recovery of demon hearts and the construction of power plants, the plan to electrify the entire territory, the popularization of electric lights, the deployment of new irrigation systems, etc...."

Recalling what I discussed with Patton that day.

Matthew felt that this guy was actually more suitable to be king than Rhaegar.

Hopefully for a long time.

I hope the people of the Stone Kingdom can treat the new king more fairly.

Finish half a cup of coffee.

Matthew regained some spirit.

After saying hello to Ali, Henry and others.

He came to the second level of the cemetery——

That is the underground level of the original cemetery.

Today, in the three directions around the negative energy fountain, there are portals shining with etheric light.

These portals lead to the underwater cemetery in the Aru Inland Sea, the mountain cemetery in the ancient land, and the Windward Valley in the Jade Garden.

Matthew walked into the last portal.

Seven minutes later.

He came to the southern wall of Cuiyu Cangting.

Affected by the Great Rip.

The climate of the world of Eindor has become strange and changeable.

February.

In the past, it was still a season covered in snow.

Today, the flamboyant flowers under the city wall are blooming exceptionally well.

despite this.

The scenery around this section of the city wall is probably one of the few places in the entire south that has not changed much.

Don't know why.

The impact of the "Great Rip" on the Emerald Green Court was extremely small. Apart from the appearance of some monsters around the forest, the terrain was almost completely unaffected.

Instead, the Yongge Forest next door was torn into three pieces and was invaded by several large star beasts.

The night elves, who were originally mysterious and proud, have experienced disasters that almost wiped out their country and race many times in the past six months.

In comparison.

Cui Yu Cang Ting, which had been in chaos due to various things before, was now safe and sound.

The most dangerous time.

It was a star beast that invaded the Yongge Forest and lingered on the border of the Cuiyu Cangting for three full days.

But just as the star beast was about to step into the forest of Cuiyu Cangting.

next moment.

It suddenly turned and headed north!

Apart from this, there is almost no major danger approaching the Emerald Palace.

This series of magical encounters greatly restored the wood elves' sense of superiority and self-confidence.

More and more people are beginning to sincerely believe it.

The reason why Emerald Green Court was one of the few areas that was not affected by the disaster during this great rift was all thanks to the blessing of the God of Elves!
Therefore, the number of wood elves joining the Elven Cult has also increased sharply in recent years.

"Lao Tai has hit the jackpot."

"After a while, we'll be able to pull him up..."

Matthew smiled silently in his heart.

“Would you like some coffee?”

A gentle voice sounded behind Matthew.

He shook his head:
"No, I just drank."

Then he turned to look at Beanna, who had a calm and peaceful expression on her face.

Compared with half a year ago.

She has become much thinner, but also more charming——

That strong sense of sacredness seemed to have been integrated into her bones and blood.

Someone with a slightly darker heart.

I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to look him in the eye.

Matthew smiled and asked:
"The Saint of the Elven God Cult is so leisurely?"

Beianna walked over generously and stood side by side with Matthew. Then she gently grasped the wall covered with ivy with both hands and said in a relaxed tone:
“There wasn’t much to do.”

"Elves are a free and undisciplined race. Most young elves actually have low desires. They may just need a little sense of superiority, and this has been greatly satisfied by most wood elves in the past six months."

"At present, a considerable number of wind chasers in the Jade Court have gone to Stromgarde under the leadership of Tyrani to help, and some elves have volunteered to go to Eversong Woods to help the night elves build the royal court."

“The city has become a lot quieter.”

"It seems that after gaining faith in the Elven God, the Wood Elves have become synonymous with kindness, bravery, enthusiasm and intelligence overnight."

"I can now gradually understand the teacher's previous insistence..."

Matthew nodded.

He also saw what Beianna said.

The changes in Cuiyu Cangting in the past six months have been amazing.

The mental outlook of the entire wood elf community was almost completely renewed.

This is fully confirmed in Hood's letter -

To help the severely affected Rapid City overcome the difficulties.

The Wind Chasers paid a heavy price.

Including the lives of many young elves.

But the wood elves had no complaints, and the Jade Court continued to provide assistance to Stromgarde.

In Rapids and a few areas in the south.

The reputation of the Wood Elves is almost better than that of the mages of the Seven Saints Alliance!
This shows the importance of faith to wood elves.

Chatted with Beanna for a while.

Matthew walked down the city wall and came to the site of the Scar of the Dead.

The fire was said to have burned for three days and three nights.

After the fire died down.

No tentacles of Yukrus remain.

The dark scorched earth gradually turned back into the appearance of the earth.

Only the difference is.

From time to time, some golden substances would appear on the scorched earth.

Many people are curious about the composition of gold.

They want to pick it up.

But I found that I couldn't do this at all.

Those gold-powder-like spots of light will appear at the site of the Scar of the Dead at a specific time.

Matthew couldn't figure out what it was at first.

But later.

He found that small animals in the nearby woods often came to lick the light spots.

Then with the help of the nature spirit.

Matthew then realized that these golden spots of light were wonderful substances that could be used to nourish the soul and spirit.

After figuring this out.

He would come to Gray Lake every once in a while.

He tried to use the sea elf meditation technique to absorb these substances, and the efficiency was only average, but his mental strength did slowly improve.

Compared to humans.

The Soul of Nature has the highest efficiency in absorbing these golden substances.

Therefore, every time Matthew came, he would summon out the nature souls hiding in the seeds of the sacred oak tree, allowing them and other small animals to absorb these golden spots of light.

Half a year down.

This group of natural souls from the earth's dream have collectively grown a lot.

Matthew was thinking about summoning them to work in Paradise Lost when the time was right.

I believe that the natural spirits who always like a peaceful and stable environment will not refuse.

Today is the same as usual.

Matthew and the small animals who were the incarnations of the souls of nature swept through the golden spots left on the site of the old Gray Lake like a swarm of locusts.

But very quickly.

Matthew noticed the difference this time——

The golden light spots in the past will reappear in their original places within a few minutes after being absorbed.

Repeat this three times.

Only then will it disappear completely and enter the next cycle.

But today is different.

After Matthew discovered it once, all the golden spots disappeared completely!

that moment.

He had a vague guess in his heart.

In the afternoon.

Matthew led the nature spirits to sweep away all the light spots near Gray Lake.

He looked back at the land that had recovered to be exactly the same as its surroundings, and his premonition became even stronger and more obvious.

on the data column.

……

"Reminder: Your main quest "Eradication of the Traces of the Dead" has been completed in excess!

You have obtained the final reward for the main quest——

Great Prophecy (Upper Legendary)*10! 」

……

A consumable final reward?
Ten chances to use the Great Prophecy?

Matthew was disappointed at first.

But soon.

He then realized the value of the "Legend of the Supreme"!
"Great prophecy, the law will come true as soon as you say it!"

"This is equivalent to gaining the ability to be invincible ten times below the Divine Mage!"

Matthew caught his breath.

Don't underestimate the limited number of times.

But there are some powers, once you have them, their nature is completely different!

Just Matthew showed it once.

Then you will have the bargaining power with higher-level beings.

This is much stronger than the demigod status rewarded by the primary goal!

“This reward comes at the perfect time.”

"I have been keeping a low profile for half a year. It is time to let those potential enemies see once again what happens when they go against me!"

Matthew's eyes sparkled with excitement.

immediately.

He looked towards the north:

"Let this all begin from Canning!"

……

Two days later.

The commercial district of the City of Order.

No. 3, Road 191.

After disguising himself, Matthew walked into the shop called "Angela's Alchemy Workshop" alone.

Canning was not a product of the League’s 100 Cities program.

There is no Alliance mage tower here.

But there are also two hidden strongholds.

Matthew was one of them.

"I wonder what kind of personnel the Seven Saints Alliance will place in the City of Order?"

This thought just popped into his mind.

The series of conversations that followed made Matthew feel that he had come to the right place.

"Hey, Angela, why was the last project I submitted rejected by the Silver Council?"

"What project did you submit?"

"Why the intactness of a female dragon's hymen cannot be used to determine whether she is a virgin."

"..."

"What is your conclusion?"

"Oh, this is very simple. Dragons are just like birds. They only have cloaca and no concept of hymen at all..."

"If that's the case, then what's the point of studying this topic?"

"Um...what if we introduce the concept of transformation?"

"Hey, there's a guest, and he's a handsome boy!"

The words fell.

A girl with a bright smile came towards Matthew:
"Welcome to Angela's butcher shop... No, it's the alchemy workshop!"

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

……
