The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 586 The Golden Ship's Mission

……

Ronan's words made Matthew's heart beat fast.

The other party's meaning is straightforward enough -

If Ronan wasn't here watching.

It is very likely that Ecmond will do something with Matthew's legendary promotion ceremony!

If someone else gave this hint.

Matthew might still be dismissive.

But Ronan...

He is almost Matthew’s most trusted legendary wizard!

Along the way, the two sides did not actually have too many conflicts of interest, only some pure friendship.

Compared to other legends.

Ronan is also more detached and humorous.

He is the one who looks most like a genuine legendary wizard in Matthew's mind.

And given the relationship between Ronan and Ecmond.

His judgment was definitely not groundless.

"and many more……"

"Isn't the teacher always behind me?"

"How dare Ecmond do this under her nose?"

Such thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

He said nothing.

He just looked at Ronan with a slightly puzzled look.

Ronan didn't give any obvious feedback.

He maintained a nonchalant smile on his face.

But just when Matthew was about to look away with doubt, Ronan suddenly shook his head imperceptibly.

His action lasted almost only a moment.

If Matthew had not been concentrating fully, it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice this fleeting detail.

"Understood……"

"Isabel's influence on reality is getting smaller and smaller. The reason why she took action so frequently before was probably because the deterrent effect was greater than the actual effect."

"The strong men in the star realm don't know Isabel's specific situation. They can only guess and at most test, but there is absolutely no way to capture the truth."

"But Ecmond is different."

"It is said that he is the legendary mage in the alliance who is most similar to Isabel."

"Plus, since both parties have had a long history of imprisonment, Ekmond may be the one who knows Isabel's condition best..."

Matthew's eyes became more serious.

I thought Isabel could at least ensure her steady promotion to Legend.

Now it seems……

I am too optimistic!
of course.

Matthew believed that Ecmond would not forcibly prevent him from becoming a legend.

He probably just wanted to get hold of some leverage over Matthew so that he could have more influence and even control over him after the Matthew legend.

This is definitely Ecmond's style!
Matthew's style is certainly not to be manipulated by others, and the potential conflict between the two sides will definitely intensify.

If Ronan doesn't come.

Matthew's situation could indeed become much more difficult.

"Thank you."

Matthew said gratefully.

Ronan smiled and shook his head:

"No need."

"Making trouble for Ecmond is something I'm very passionate about lately."

"Besides, I'm just a projection. If he really gets restless, you'll have to rely on yourself when the time comes."

"Don't be fooled by his smooth way of doing things. In fact, his inner character is very similar to that of his teacher. If he wants to achieve his goals, he will definitely use various methods to achieve them."

"Now it seems that he really likes you."

“So, you must be prepared to fight for a long time.”

"Of course. Being valued by Ekmond shows that you are a promising mage with a bright future."

“Having a good relationship with him can be very helpful in many cases.”

"In the alliance, the two most versatile mages are him and Ms. Surel. You should have seen the abilities of the latter. As long as you have money, everything can be negotiated."

"And Ekmond is another form of omnipotence. He is very capable and can do almost anything. For young and confused mages, he is a mentor and friend, and a magical treasure."

"He's a very complicated guy."

"But at the moment, the league can't do without him."

Matthew nodded slightly.

Ekmond's interest in me has been going on for a long time.

God knows whether he is interested in himself or in those two supreme authorities.

Matthew was always a little wary of him.

Now Isabel is about to leave completely.

I must be more careful!

"I understand."

"I have always been very grateful to you and Mr. Ekmond for your support."

Matthew expressed his gratitude to Ronan again.

Ronan chuckled and said:
"I wasn't much help."

"It was just a piece of cake back then. When I was wandering around in the astral realm, I was thinking about whether I should arrange a set of training courses for novice mages in the floating city for you. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye you would become a legend, and a double legend in the fields of death and nature. I actually found this path for you!"

"I'm not as good at judging people as my teacher and Ekmond. It was pure luck that I found you outside of Rolling Stone Town."

Matthew said sincerely:

“This is also my luck.”

Then the two chatted casually about some recent events.

"I heard that you and Ms. Qin Wu Yue have already set off for the East Continent?"

Matthew took a look inside the barrier and saw clearly that Ekmond didn't seem to have any intention of stopping for the time being, so he asked casually.

Ronan said with a smile:
"That's a rumor."

"I have not left Eindor myself. My real body is in the core demiplane of the floating city, responsible for maintaining the Golden Ship Project."

The ship of gold?

Matthew was slightly startled.

He first heard this term in various rumors after the Great Rip.

This was later confirmed by Isabel.

Matthew spent one million gold coins to buy tickets for the Golden Ship, but he still knows nothing about this plan!
Now Isabel is leaving.

Matthew thought the plan had failed, but he didn't expect that Ronan was in charge!

"Can you tell me a little bit about the Golden Ship?"

He asked cautiously. Matthew did not expect Ronan to reveal too much. After all, from the information he had inquired about and the reactions of Isabel and others, the confidentiality level of this plan was very high. Perhaps only wizards at the level of the Seven Saints were qualified to know and participate.

However, Ronan's straightforwardness far exceeded Matthew's expectations:
"of course can."

"But where should I start? Well, you have to know that this plan was actually initiated by the Natural Disaster Mage and is a follow-up action of "Tianlun Palace Ascension"."

"Of course, it was only after the Great Rupture that we obtained some information left by the Scourge Mage from our respective Seven Saints' inheritances. The most critical content included the "Golden Ship" plan."

"It turns out that the Scourge Mage had guessed the worst possible scenario of odd-numbered weather changes and the collapse of order a long time ago."

"She predicted the current dangerous situation of the multiverse—"

"If you are proficient in astrology and plane studies, you should be able to observe that our world has been becoming flatter and flatter in the past six months since the Great Tear."

"For naked eye observation, this trend is not obvious, but from the macroscopic perspective of the entire multiverse, this trend is already so dramatic that it is a bit scary!"

"Above the old site of Tianlun Palace, the high-dimensional high-energy zone is constantly sliding down. In addition to high-dimensional high-energy matter, more harmful substances are seeping down from other dimensions. Most of these substances are very heavy, which directly leads to the continuous sinking of the original heavenly area."

"But below the Bridge of All Beings, in the Gray Star Realm, the situation is completely the opposite."

"The Dark Tide that represents the border of the Gray Star Realm is rising higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the bridge surface. At this rate, it is very likely that within ten years, the Bridge of All Living Things will be completely submerged in the Gray Star Realm. After that, the Dark Tide will directly approach the Ninefold Purgatory and the Abyss."

"This is a worrying phenomenon."

"This means that our universe is collapsing, or being compressed longitudinally."

"Our living space has become smaller, and the storm of chaos continues to expand. This is a sign of destruction..."

Accompanied by Ronan's description.

Matthew could almost picture the multiverse collapsing in his mind.

He couldn't help but ask:
"Is this related to the behemoth?"

Ronan nodded:

"To create more heat."

"The soaring of a giant beast requires unimaginable heat, and our universe is moving in the direction of exhausting the resources due to the interference of certain external forces."

"There is a saying that Aiendor is a huge breeding ground, and the behemoths are the species that are released into the ground for breeding. We are just fleas on the behemoths, an accidental product, and are destined to be ignored - we can't even say that we are the scraps that are sacrificed."

"In this context, the Golden Ship Project came into being."

"Before leaving, the Scourge Mage had already built the framework of the Golden Ship in the demiplane of the floating city. When it is fully completed, it will become an incredibly magical ship - no, the core structure of the ship can no longer be described as magic. It is a miracle that only the Scourge Mage can achieve."

Matthew asked curiously:
"What is the Golden Ship used for?"

Ronan said patiently:
"To alleviate the flattening trend of the universe."

"To be specific, the Golden Ship will depart in three years. It will first leave Aindor and go up, and it will take half a year to reach the high-energy and high-dimensional zone."

"It will collect the super-heavy matter that has settled from higher dimensions, repair the plane loss caused by the fall of Tianlun Palace, and conduct a series of explorations of the ruins of the celestial realm."

"In two and a half to three years, the golden ship will descend and reach the edge of the gray star realm."

"It will release the super-heavy matter absorbed from the celestial realm when the dark tide rolls up, thereby calming the expansion of the gray astral realm."

"By the way, the mages on board may also have to take on some of the responsibilities of hunting down astral monsters."

"The Golden Ship will probably sail on the edge of the Gray Star Realm for about six years before returning to Eindor for the crew's rotation every ten years."

"Once everything goes well, the Golden Ship will regularly patrol the heavens and the astral realms on a ten-year cycle."

"This is to alleviate the trend of the universe becoming flat, and it can also be regarded as a process for the alliance to demonstrate its military power to the outside world."

“This journey may be extremely dangerous, so we must be fully prepared before we set off.”

So this is what the Golden Ship is used for?

Matthew suddenly understood.

and many more!

This job obviously sounds like a tough job, so why is the ticket for the Golden Ship so expensive?

Matthew directly expressed his doubts.

Ronan laughed:
“Being able to board the golden ship itself represents an opportunity.”

"Many mages will never be able to explore the mysteries of the universe and obtain rare materials in areas such as the ruins of the celestial realm or the grayscale astral realm in their entire lives, because astral travel is too dangerous for them."

"But unlike the Golden Ship, the risks faced by the crew of this ship are relatively much lower."

"In addition, the Scourge Mage also left behind a relatively obscure motto."

"I won't go into the details, but the content of the proverb is -"

"Mage who participated in the Golden Ship mission, if the Scourge Mage returns to Eindor one day, even if you have been dead for a long time by then, she will recall the Golden Ship and bring you back to life on the ship, and you will have a chance to pray to her."

"This motto is a bit mysterious. We privately think it's all a lie, but... she is a Scourge Mage after all. Maybe she is really willing and able to do such an outrageous thing."

"So every opportunity to get on board is precious."

"As for the fees, ahem, you have to understand that the Alliance's funding is a bit tight at the moment. Even if the Scourge Mage has completed the core work, we will still have to fill in a lot of things later on, so it is reasonable for us to charge some money."

Will mages who participate in the Golden Ship's universe patrol mission have a chance to be resurrected by the Scourge Mage after their death?
Matthew also found this to be unreliable.

It feels like a god deceiving his believers.

Considering that the Golden Ship and this motto were not actually things left directly by the Scourge Mage, but information that Ronan claimed the Seven Sages obtained from their respective heritages.

Even if Matthew believed in Ronan.

It's also hard to believe its authenticity.

At most, it's half and half.

Perhaps other mages would be interested in boat duty.

But the golden ship had little appeal to Matthew.

After all, he had been to heaven before.

"So, every time the Golden Ship carries out a mission, there will be a very powerful wizard following it, right?"

Matthew asked tentatively.

Ronan nodded:

"The leader of the first phase has been decided, it's Mr. Noname."

Matthew was a little surprised:

"Isn't he always the one most opposed to the Scourge Mage's strategy?"

Ronan shook his head and said:
"You can't say that."

“The relationship between them is complicated.”

"Mr. Noname, he is actually very attached to his mother. This may be related to the serious lack of maternal love during his growth. His attitude towards the Scourge Mage often swings between two extremes."

"But this time, the opportunity he chose to execute the Scourge Mage might be related to something he experienced in the disappeared historical world... ahem..."

This aspect of the content.

Even Ronan, who is usually straightforward, was vague.

Matthew knew that this was definitely not something he could find out.

So he tactfully changed the subject.

After fully understanding the Golden Ship.

Matthew lost interest in the plan.

Inside the barrier.

Ecmond was still fighting fiercely with Danya.

Matthew couldn't help but yawn.

But at this time.

A gust of wind suddenly blew up not far away.

A huge black shadow suddenly jumped up from the top of another exile tower, then spread its wings and flew over, covering the sky and the sun!
