The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 580 Matthew's Potential

……

Matthew thought that Isabel would approve of his somewhat arrogant words.

However, the other party just responded with a cold look:
"The Divine Mage is not something that mediocre people can reach."

"I've told you many times about your flaws."

"You are not extreme enough, not crazy enough, too moderate, too kind, even a little cowardly!"

"You lack the determination and courage to risk your life, and you also lack the determination and selfishness to think that the destruction of the world is none of my business."

"Much of your strength and growth comes from outside of yourself...from things that are not yours."

Speaking of it.

She gave Matthew a subtle look.

Matthew's heart trembled.

But everything returned to normal soon.

Since Isabel could see her identity as an alien, she could naturally sense the existence of the two supreme authorities.

Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why she looks at me differently.

"So, you think I can't become a divine mage?"

he asks.

Isabel was silent for a few minutes. Her tone was still cold and hard, but the content of her words had changed a little:
"I do not know."

"In the world I believe in, you don't have the slightest chance."

"But I will be gone soon, and no one knows what will become of Iendor."

"Moreover, the fact that your current power comes from outside is something that deserves to be viewed from both sides. On the one hand, it certainly appears that you are highly dependent on external forces, but on the other hand, there is actually good news -

That is, there is still a lot of potential within you that can be tapped.

Those powers sleep deep in your soul, waiting for your call at any time.

If you can ever uncover them, you could experience a true transformation.

in my opinion.

That is the real "legend"! "

The potential within?
The power of the soul?
Matthew vaguely sensed something, but felt he couldn't grasp it.

He couldn't help but ask:
"Do you mean the power of the mind? Or the power of emotions?"

Isabel replied:

"All."

"For different people, the answer to this question is different, and I can't give you a more precise guide."

"But I can give you a reference answer-"

"In your growth over the past few years, the closest you came to tapping into your potential was when that Lost Paradise took off."

"That time, I felt your truest self and the powerful potential hidden beneath that self."

Paradise Lost Liftoff?

Matthew thought of Gasliwen and Peggy, the divine fire in the sky, his determination to give it a try, and his relief and openness in letting go at the last moment.

That was actually one of the few times he acted impulsively.

But in Isabel's opinion.

Is that the real me?

Matthew repeatedly savored Isabel's words. This might be the last instruction left by the teacher before leaving the multiverse.

Of course, he would not accept all of Isabel's ideas.

But there are many insightful points in the teacher's words.

Naturally, you have to think carefully.

Between thoughts.

Matthew suddenly asked the question that had been suppressed for a long time:

"So, when Paradise Lost was launched, did you really want to kill me?"

Isabel shook her head slowly:
"I explained the problem."

"No one is allowed to become a god under my nose!"

"As for killing you who was also in Paradise Lost, it was just a matter of convenience."

"Of course, I also wanted to see if that singularity cannon could arouse the anger in your heart, but afterwards I felt both disappointed and relieved."

"I'm disappointed that you didn't defect, but chose to endure it."

"The good news is that you can endure such insults and threats, which means you have higher aspirations in your heart."

"It's my fault that I failed to stimulate your potential. I should have given you a bigger stimulus. Maybe I could have forced your strength out..."

"But later on, I was too busy. By the time I had time, the situation didn't allow me to force you away."

"Because the current league really needs some young people to stand up."

"Pity……"

I go!

Matthew broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.

My teacher is really a freak!

In order to bring out the potential that she believes in herself, she actually thinks of persecuting herself in various ways!

"But what if you kill him?"

Coco asked curiously.

Isabel said indifferently:
"Then go to hell!"

"You don't think I care about him that much, do you?"

“Only if he continues to demonstrate his potential and survive various challenges, will he be qualified to continue to be my student.”

"If you are not convinced, you can choose to defect or die in my hands."

“I personally do not rule out any outcome.”

Matthew's scalp tingled.

However, Coco said bluntly:
"But if you really don't care about him, why are you following him like a babysitter now..."

Snapped!
A white hand slapped down from mid-air.

The big goblin turned into a paper man again, and his mouth was sealed!

"Loa is right."

"Fairies are really annoying."

Isabel snorted.

"It's almost time."

"Before you become a divine mage, become a legend first. Let me see how much power you can exert from those two supreme authorities."

Done.

Her figure quickly disappeared.

Only the paper man Coco was left, helplessly clinging to Matthew's thigh.

Rub it!
Matthew tried it.

Using Dimension Shift and Correction in this area consumes too much mana.

Without any choice.

He could only barely break Coco's silence spell, and then rolled the giant goblin into a tube of paper so that he could carry it with him.

In the process of rolling.

Coco is still talking nonsense:

"Don't touch it! Don't! That's where you pee..."

Matthew shouted angrily:
"Do you pee with your mouth?"

"Is it the mouth?"

"Strange, why am I suddenly so sensitive..."

Coco rolled her eyes:
"That chick just now was really cool, I support you in taking her down!"

"But to be honest, you were too gentle and respectful when dealing with her. Sometimes you have to be tougher with women, understand?"

"You have to show your toughness, like I did to Piapia."

"Women are meant to be conquered."

Matthew complained:
"You understand women again?"

Coco said loudly:
"I am a woman!"

"My words are very convincing!"

Matthew quickly took out a red string and tied up the "Coco Scroll", then casually hung it around his waist:
"No, you are a female demon."

"And the lady just now is the divine mage who is closest to the Scourge."

"The gap between you is bigger than the gap between us..."

Done.

The wind wall ahead gradually came to an end.

Matthew moved forward quickly and soon arrived at the bottom of the Exile Tower.

Standing on the hillside looking up at the Wandering Tower.

A sense of stability comes over me.

Dickens and the spirit of the Gale Dragon stood on the platform at the top of the tower.

They looked down at Matthew.

Dickens, like a teenager, had disdain and disgust in his eyes:
"He's a necromancer, but he's willing to be a dog for the Alliance!"

"Ridiculous! Idiot!"

"Come on, I'll be waiting for you at the top of the tower. It's not that easy to kill me..."

Whoosh!
Three consecutive sharp blades made of mental power shot down from the top of the tower.

The three sharp blades formed a V-shaped formation, not only locking onto Matthew's body, but also blocking his retreat.

At the critical moment.

Matthew's figure suddenly jumped forward half a step!
Whoosh whoosh!
Three sharp blades of mental power pierced the hillside behind him.

Three bottomless holes were pierced in the soil!

Snapped!
Matthew silently dropped a tombstone.

next second.

In Dickens's dissatisfied and surprised eyes.

Matthew turned around and left!

He flew towards another wandering tower!

"return!"

"coward!"

Dickens shouted angrily from the top of the tower.

The wind dragon beside him also roared.

But Matthew didn't bother to pay any attention to him.

Under Dickens' gaze that seemed to want to eat him alive, Matthew flew away easily.

This instantly made Dickens and the Wind Dragon lose their target for venting their long-accumulated momentum.

"what!"

The anger and resentment that had been pent up for decades could only turn into long-lasting roars and screams.

Matthew's back gradually disappeared in the mist of the Bitterwater Swamp.

There was nothing Dickens and the Gale Dragon could do.

after all.

This is the Alliance's sealing ceremony site.

They are just prisoners after all.

No matter how glorious they had been, the opportunity to select prisoners was still in Matthew's hands.

"Hex once mentioned the side effects of the Ember Blood Crystal."

"Although it can bring people back to life and make them immortal, they will temporarily lose their previous memories after rebirth."

"And according to Isabel's tone, Danya and Dickens who are imprisoned here should have taken the Embers Blood Crystal."

"But Dickens showed that he had not lost any memory."

"That suggests they've improved those side effects."

"But in other aspects, the Embers Blood Crystal should still have flaws. I can feel that it can amplify the evil side of negative energy."

"As the former Lord of Baiyan City, Dickens would not be as ungraceful as he is now, no matter how furious he is. This is probably due to the influence of the blood crystal."

"Furthermore, after Dickens' rebirth, his aura has obviously become more restrained, but his momentum is gradually increasing. There must be some mechanism behind this. Instead of confronting the enemy head-on under unknown circumstances, it is better to collect intelligence first."

Matthew never liked being led by the nose by his enemies.

Since the location of the battle cannot be changed.

Then at least you have to seize the opportunity in your own hands.

What's more, there is another prisoner, Danya, in the Bitterwater Swamp.

Matthew had received a little favor from her in the past.

The magic book of the Feast Inn that could provide the means of instigating rebellion was left to him by Danya.

Matthew still has some feelings towards this former undead girl.

Why not go over to her place first?

It would be great if we could communicate.

With this thought in mind.

Matthew quickly flew to another exile tower carrying the cocoa scroll.

From the outside it seems.

The two tall towers can be called the Twin Towers. They can be seen simultaneously from outside the swamp and seem to be not far apart.

But in fact there is a considerable distance between the two towers.

Fortunately, the little goblin’s flying speed is not slow.

It took more than an hour to fly.

Another tower of exile seemed not far away.

Got here.

The landscape felt more familiar to Matthew.

Except for the towering wizard tower.

It is equivalent to moving the swamp in the rainforest here in proportion.

Matthew could even see some similar species from the rain forest crawling in the swamp.

There are also white bones everywhere.

The only regret was that there were no Jangos looming in the woods at the edge of the swamp.

Otherwise it would really give him a feeling of returning to the past.

"This place is no different. It's still so dead."

Coco complained all the way.

Matthew could understand her feelings. For the goblins, such a low-density ether environment was indeed a bit suffocating.

But Matthew has basically gotten used to it after flying all the way here.

He gradually regained his ability to cast spells—

The ether concentration in the environment is very low.

Then why not learn from somewhere else.

Storage in the body is one aspect.

Energy stones, scrolls, demiplanes, and even the ether stored in Paradise Lost can also provide support for Matthew's spells.

He also has a set of guild spells and a whole pool of mana to provide energy for the guild spells.

These all give Matthew the ability to cast spells in the ritual field.

It is also the great confidence that enables him to challenge the magician of Baiyan City.

Spells cast through these channels will be greatly reduced in power because they cannot pry open the ether in the environment and cannot enjoy the blessing of supermodel abilities.

And these spells are essentially consumables.

Matthew must choose his moments carefully.

"In fact, you don't necessarily have to use magic to deal with a necromancer."

"My shovel is not dull..."

While thinking.

Coco, who was held under Matthew's armpit, suddenly shouted excitedly:
"There is a huge footprint ahead!"

"There seems to be a body in the footprints!"

"Wow, it's all crushed into peanut butter!"

Matthew also noticed something unusual ahead.

A strong sense of danger emanated from the huge footprint.

He flew over slowly.

It was a giant footprint that was twenty meters long!
The footprints had left a huge, deep hole in the swamp.

Matthew also saw the corpse that Coco mentioned.

In such a huge footprint.

It's like an easily overlooked spot, lying miserably on the edge of the forefoot.

That is, a fairy with amazing perception.

Many races would probably be attracted by the footprints themselves and find it difficult to discover the existence of the corpse at the first time.

"Three toes?"

"It doesn't look like a gigantic humanoid, but more like some kind of super-giant bird..."

Matthew flew over the footprints.

Just as he was concentrating on looking at the footprints themselves.

A light breeze brushed past his ears.

That moment.

Matthew's hair stood on end.

When an unprecedented sense of crisis came, the slight sting was like a thorn in the back.

“Use the impact and danger signals created by footprints to attract people’s attention.”

"The main body is hiding aside and waiting for an opportunity to complete the assassination?"

"This is Shadow Liaoyuan's signature assassination method!"

These thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind like lightning.

And his body has already responded first.

boom!
The fairy form is released.

Matthew took on human form.

A powerful field of negative energy spread out instantly.

An aura of resistance filled the domain.

But the assassin's knife found a strange and tricky angle, breaking the repulsive path of the resistance halo, and the next second, the blade reached Matthew's back!
……

"Warning: You have been attacked by the legendary assassin "Damon"..."
