The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 74 Balance Messenger and Spell Harmony
……

The inheritance has already been started, so there is no reason to interrupt it.

Matthew chose to continue.

So more information poured into his mind like a flood.

He stood in front of the stele with his eyes closed, and beads of sweat secreted from his forehead.

A series of black and white pictures flashed before Matthew's eyes like watching flowers on a horse.

a few breaths.

Not only did he successfully accept the inheritance of the Balance Messenger, but he also learned part of the story of King Mingtan, the first Balance Messenger of the Sioux tribe.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes.

The tadpole text on the stone tablet quickly twisted, and soon "evaporated" out of thin air.

The same is true for the dozens of patterns behind the stele.

Matthew turned back and asked in a harsh voice:

"Did you see anything on the steles and stones after you came in?"

Bobo shook his head silently.

Lumière looked at the stele curiously:

"Isn't this always blank?"

Matthew nodded secretly.

This proves that his guess about the stele is correct - only those who have the potential to become a balance messenger will see the tadpole text and those patterns.

This requires at least two conditions:
First, and crucially, the Sioux imprint;
Second, those who touch the stele must possess at least two legendary ways, or two particularly powerful forces.

This should be a necessary condition to stimulate the inheritance of the Balance Messenger.

As long as this threshold is passed, it becomes very easy to accept the inheritance. For example, Matthew doesn't know the content of those tadpole texts at all, but he still easily understands the information poured into his mind.

It is estimated that this is the person who left the inheritance, considering that the birth of the Balance Messenger is very difficult.

So open the door wide open.

Matthew, who went all the way to the south and experienced the hardships of the journey, finally got his wish.

But there was still confusion on his brow.

……

"Reminder: You have received the inheritance of "Special Occupation: Balance Envoy". You can choose from the following two methods to add the balance envoy's ability to your ability list——

1. Advanced (opens a special path: the balance of all things)

2. Part-time job (face XP penalty)”

……

According to Matthew's previous thinking, there is a high probability that he will choose advanced directly.

After all, the Balance Envoy has a special path, which means that future achievements will be limitless.

However, after taking stock of the inherited information.

Matthew hesitated.

He did not make an impulsive decision, but closed his eyes and began to recall the origin of the profession of Balance Envoy.

And if you want to sort out these things clearly, you have to start with King Mingtan.

According to the information stored in the stele, King Ming Tan is the first balance messenger in the world.

In those unknown ages.

After a terrible disaster swept across the Eastern Continent, King Mingtan, who had already had a premonition, led the people on twelve large ships with ocean-going capabilities, left their homeland, and sought a safe haven all the way west.

In the process of crossing the endless ocean, King Ming Tan's fleet encountered two difficulties.

The first difficulty takes place in the southeast of the Great Ocean.

There is a trench leading directly to the abyss on the seabed there, and a sea monster capable of destroying the world lives in the trench. It is said that it is also a member of the "Twilight Creation".

When King Ming Tan's fleet passed above the trench, it was attacked by the sea monster, who swallowed the foremost ship in one gulp.

The sea monster is very huge, almost as wide as the land, and its length is endless.

At that time, everyone on board was shocked, only King Ming Tan stepped forward.

He left the building alone, used the flying technique to fly to the belly of the sea monster, and asked to negotiate with it.

The sea monster admired King Mingtan's courage and expressed his willingness to give him a chance.

But the sea monster said again that the place of negotiation cannot be at sea, but must be at the bottom of the sea.

So King Ming Tan followed the sea monster to the bottom of the sea.

The negotiation lasted about 72 hours. At that time, the sea was cloudy and stormy, and the scene was very scary. Several captains who were not determined secretly drove the ship away.

And when King Ming Tan finished the negotiation with the sea monster and returned to the sea, he found that there were only five other ships waiting for him.

He didn't get angry, but just sighed and said:
"Those who stay in place can still survive, how can those who leave quietly survive?"

as predicted.

When everyone cheered to welcome King Ming Tan to board the ship again, and the fleet sailed successfully through the rainy sea, they soon saw the wreckage left by the ships that escaped early.

King Ming Tan told the others.

The people on these ships were also eaten by sea monsters like the original ship.

Fortunately, he has negotiated with the sea monster, and the other party will not embarrass the rest of the people anymore.

The remaining crew immediately cheered.

Some people are also curious about the specific content of the negotiations between King Mingtan and the sea monster, and what method King Mingtan used to dispel the idea of ​​the sea monster devouring them.

It's a pity that King Ming Tan has always been tight-lipped about this topic.

Until his death, no third person knew the content of that negotiation.

Afterwards, the fleet headed west all the way, and a few months later, they arrived at the west side of the Endless Ocean. According to after-the-fact estimates, it was actually less than three days' voyage from the Fangfang Peninsula belonging to the continent of Aindor.

Here, the fleet of King Mingtan encountered a second very difficult problem——

A plague broke out on board.

The plague came very strangely, and everyone's symptoms were different. King Ming Tan found that the more powerful the Sioux, the more serious the plague.

Especially senior professionals headed by Taoist priests, one by one became more and more ill.

None of the herbs and spells they possess have any effect on this.

The Sioux began to die in great numbers.

Even though King Ming Tan tried his best to solve the problem, there was nothing he could do, and he himself became ill soon after.

Fortunately, there were still some healthy people on board, and they continued to sail under the order of King Mingtan, and finally arrived at Manya Peninsula after a while.

The Sioux fleet has been docked here for nearly half a year.

People who died under the plague eventually accounted for two-thirds of the population on board, especially the Taoist priests, who were almost extinct.

This is also the fundamental reason why this special profession has gradually lost its inheritance.

During this period, in order to save themselves, the Sioux began to have frequent contacts with the local aborigines, and the two sides launched a large number of trade exchanges.

Soon after, the seriously ill King Ming Tan sent someone to learn some voodoo techniques from the indigenous shaman.

Under the strong suggestion of the shaman, King Ming Tan used the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and simply fed a powerful voodoo to the remaining patients, including himself.

As a result, a miraculous thing happened. After the voodoo entered the body, the symptoms of the plague were greatly reduced. Although it was not completely eradicated, at least it could save people's lives.

King Ming Tan was very emotional at the time, if he could arrive at the Manya Peninsula earlier, perhaps more people's lives could be saved.

It's a pity that fate has been forged, and no one can change it.

King Ming Tan, who barely saved his life, began to vigorously study the plague on his body.

He is a real genius. When he was in Su, he was the leader of the Great Wall mage group. He was rewarded for his meritorious service in resisting the devil.

When he arrived at the Manya Peninsula, his professional level was LV16 Great Wall Mage and LV4 Taoist, half a legendary level.

Soon, his research had preliminary results.

King Mingtan's research showed that the plague itself was just the trigger, and the mass death of the Sioux people on board was essentially due to the differences in the laws and domains of the eastern and western continents.

Why do so many priests die?

Because most of these Taoist priests of the Su Kingdom mastered the power of two fields at the same time, driving wind, rain, thunder and lightning and summoning zombie goblins, this is actually the content of one field in the Eastern Continent, and it doesn't matter who comes to learn it.

However, the domains of the Western Continent have already been divided up by the gods, and unauthorized access to different domains will inevitably lead to a rebound of the law. Compared with the plague, it is only a symptom amplifier, and it is actually their power that killed a large number of Sioux people.

The voodoo given by the indigenous shaman happens to have the effect of weakening and debilitating, so it can greatly relieve the symptoms.

This discovery made King Ming Tan very frustrated, he knew that the gods didn't even take the initiative to attack, this was the natural reaction of the domain they had left a deep mark on.

This means that the Western Continent is not an ideal place of refuge for the Eastern ancestors.

However, they have no choice, their homeland is hard to return, they can only choose to adapt.

The following inheritance information is a bit vague.

Matthew only knows that King Ming Tan spent a long time researching the domain of the Western Continent after he left the Manya Peninsula. In the end, he opened up the Equilibrium Domain out of thin air based on an artifact he brought from the Eastern Continent. Use this to reconcile the opposing forces of the several attributes in your body.

He succeeded, and thus stepped into the realm of legend.

But he also failed, because even King Ming Tan himself had to rely on that artifact to maintain a long-term balance.

If the messengers of balance in the past dynasties want to make further progress in this profession, they must sign a contract with that artifact.

In the inheritance information obtained by Matthew, there are also comments on the artifact by the balance envoys of the past.

From their attitude towards the artifact, it is not difficult to see that this thing is not reliable at all!
For example, the second-generation balance envoy, who is also the fourth son of King Ming Tan, left a comment like this:

"Heavenly artifacts are intangible, and the way of heaven is incomprehensible."

That's a polite way of saying it.

By the seventh generation of Balance Messenger, the painting style gradually began to deviate:
"The legendary way of the balance messenger is to catch the spirit everywhere, right? You will never know where it will hide in the next second. At this time, as long as you think of the scene when you signed the contract with it, you will want to slap yourself a few times .”

And when the previous generation of Balance Envoys, that is, when the inheritance was about to be cut off, the comment he left was as follows:

"Stupid Qi Ling, who knows how to neglect his duties every day, it can't fulfill its original promise at all!

The way of balance is wrong from the very beginning, everything is only biased, where is the theory of balance?
Unless you can cut into the most primitive two forces at the beginning.

But how can mortals do this?

It's too difficult, too difficult, uneven, everyone who loves it will go! "

……

It can be seen that the profession of balance envoy is full of uncertainties, and it is a brand-new profession opened up by King Mingtan for self-saving.

Although it can be used to dabble in the field of equilibrium, it doesn't need to be superfluous for Matthew.

Because he already has half a foot in the equilibrium field.

"Mingtan King and the others are also pitiful. Judging from the time point, when they arrived at the Manya Peninsula, the ascension of the Tianlun Palace had not yet happened! The law of the domain will subconsciously please the gods, which is why the plague was fueled. "

"If they had come after the Tianlun Palace's ascension, things might have been different. The domains that have been cleansed by the Scourge Mage and the brand of the gods would not take the initiative to fight against them at all!"

"According to the description in the inheritance, the Taoist profession is mainly to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and summon zombie goblins. This is equivalent to the combination of evocation magicians and necromancers. In this era, these two fields do not conflict. Could it be that Tianlun Palace Before Ascension to the Que, did the gods at that time subdivide the domain infinitely to such an extent that both necromancers and evocations that belonged to the magic domain would fight each other?"

Matthew sighed lightly, feeling a little unbelievable.

For him, there is too much useful information hidden in this inheritance, and this information may even be more valuable than the profession of Balance Envoy.

But it also left him with a lot of doubts.

How did King Ming Tan negotiate with the sea monster who was created by Twilight?

Is the content of the negotiations related to the weird ritual of the Sioux walking into the sea before dying?

Did the Taoists really die in large numbers because of the conflict of power?
What is the artifact that King Ming Tan used to open up the balanced domain?
Where does it fall now?

These are the contents that Matthew is very interested in.

However, he is also very clear that not every question in this world can find the answer, many mysteries are destined to disappear in the fog of history, and being too persistent will easily kill him.

Most importantly, he now has to make a choice.

"My path has been very clear, nature and immortality, this is a path that cannot be changed."

"I don't need too strong advancement, what I need more is stability, most of the random factors in the advancement process must be ruled out!"

"I need balanced power to check and balance the two major paths. Even the name of my system has been garbled by the two big brothers Undead and Nature. When they grow stronger, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not fight in my body, so I need this. strength, but at the same time, there is no need to pay too much for the profession of balance messenger."

After figuring out what he needed, Matthew's thinking was extremely clear.

……

"Hint: You chose "part-time job", you consumed a lot of XP, and you got "Equilibrium Messenger LV1" (second job)!
Warning: When upgrading the second job "Equilibrium Messenger", you will face a part-time penalty, that is, you need to consume an additional 50% of XP!

You have gained the class feature of "Balance Emissary": supreme harmony.

Supreme Harmony: You can coordinate several forces in your body so that they are in a balanced and stable state without conflicts;
At the same time, you also gain the ability to "harmonize spells".

Harmonize spells: With a spell action (which cannot be omitted), you can choose two spells or abilities belonging to different fields from the list of abilities you have mastered to blend.

Once attuned, you can upgrade one of your spells or abilities to an "Enhanced Spell (Ability)", which will have a stronger effect when released.

Another attuned spell or ability automatically goes on cooldown.

Note 1: Different spells will have different strengthening effects after they are reconciled with each other.

Note 2: The number of "harmony spells" you can use per day is 2 times. "

……

After reaching the high profile and starting, Matthew could clearly feel that the strength in his body had become more balanced.

Above the Tai Chi symbol, the Dao of Balance, which was originally a dotted line, has thus become a solid line.

Matthew could see a lot of green and gray light spots pouring into the balance from nature and undead, and finally mixed into dark green light spots.

However, the dark green light spots did not stay in the balance for long, they quickly dispersed into nature and immortality.

Soon, the dark green light spot that entered the realm of life and death was split into gray and green again, and each expelled each other back to their own territory.

so back and forth.

Although there are more or less light spots in the three roads, they also form a dynamic balance!

The hidden dangers that had been buried in my heart were finally relieved.

This made Matthew very happy.

And what he is more interested in is the ability of spell coordination. It can actually blend abilities belonging to different fields together, so that one of them can exert greater power.

The key is that different permutations and combinations can produce different strengthening effects.

This is very interesting.

Matthew couldn't hold back and tuned one on the spot.

This ability takes a standard spell action and lasts about five seconds.

After reconciliation is complete.

One of the two abilities chosen by Matthew shows that they are available, and the other has entered the cooling time.

……

"Hint: You have used spell blending, and the blending targets are "wilderness form (raven)" and "rot sac mastery";
After the reconciliation is completed, "Wild Form (Raven)" is strengthened into "Wild Form (Corrupted Raven)".

It is expected that the size of the raven you incarnate will increase slightly, perception and agility +1, and have a powerful corruption sac infection ability! "

……

"This is fun!"

If it weren't for the limit on the number of times, Matthew would probably play around every day!

The most interesting thing about this ability is that with the improvement of one's own strength, more and more abilities will be obtained, and the results of permutations and combinations will also increase dramatically.

If it weren't for Lumiere and Bobo who were still watching.

He wished he could turn into a raven and fly around right now!
It took a lot of work.

Matthew calmed down.

In addition to the professional characteristics, the first level of balance messenger also brought him a new ability.

……

"Balance perception: Wherever you go, you can have a round of perception of the local energy field, and if there is any imbalance, you will be caught immediately.

You can use this ability to track elements, or as a basis for rearranging and repairing the field. "

……

It's also a pretty useful secondary ability.

The energy field is usually an existence that elemental creatures can only keenly perceive.

It is mainly composed of four elements and attributes such as spirit.

The absence of certain energies usually represents an abnormality in the energy field.

Some powerful monsters will also change the local energy field accordingly when they pass by, so it is very suitable for tracking enemies.

As for rearranging the energy field, Matthew doesn't have that ability yet, but if he encounters tinkering work in the future, he can really give it a try.

"The continuous expansion of the Scar of the Dead may be related to the imbalance of the energy field."

Matthew's mind turned quickly, and he immediately found a use for this ability.

And it is very useful for a large purpose!
This is the end.

The Balance Messenger of LV1 is equivalent to bringing Matthew a passive occupational characteristic and two practical or interesting abilities.

And what he paid was only a part of the XP!

"Level [-] Balance Messenger is enough for me now, and the next step is to advance to the Night of the Dead. If the Balance Messenger can show a certain degree of stability in the future, it can prove that this road is more promising If so, it’s not impossible to redevelop the second job into the main job.”

Matthew thought to himself.

It's not free of course, and you'll lose a lot of XP.

But the most indispensable thing for Matthew is XP!

……

"I'm fine, let's go!"

After finishing the part-time job, Matthew turned around without hesitation.

He didn't even glance at the tomb passage looming in the depths of the square.

Bobo said in astonishment:
"Is this the end for you? This is too soon!"

Matthew is speechless:

"Don't you like to be slow?"

Bobo hesitated and said:
"But didn't you come to advance? This is too easy!"

"Is it easy?"

Matthew smiled:
"You just happened to meet the comfort when I harvested the fruit, but you never saw the hardship when I went through the wind and rain."

Matthew is not exaggerating.

In order to obtain the inheritance of the Messenger of Balance, he did pay a lot.

Just because of some legends, he did not hesitate to cross half of the southern land, from the plague-ridden Zeshui City all the way through the difficult rainforest.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died on the way.

And on Junliu Island, he has withstood the charm from the bottom of the sea. If his resistance is a little lower, he will walk into the sea like those old Sioux people, embracing an unknown destiny.

In the end, even if he got the news of the way of balance, he might suffer a big loss from the sickle.

As long as Yu Lian pointed him to a dead end, or said that he didn't run into Bobo's matter, and didn't impress Yu Lian, the latter might charge him a lot of money, or let Matthew do it. A thing of equal value.

The sum of these experiences has actually far exceeded the effort required for normal advancement.

Although he only got a part-time job in the end, Matthew didn't think it was worth it.

Life is like this, after hard work, it is enough to make him feel satisfied if he gains something, no matter how big or small the gain is.

"I mean, let's just leave? Don't we go look inside?"

Bobo reluctantly turned his head to look at the entrance of the underwater tomb.

Matthew's voice came from the front:

"I told you I'm not a grave robber."

With that said, he walked straight out of the secret door.

"But, but, let's go if we blow up something..."

Bobo still turned his head three times a step.

Suddenly a big hand stretched out from the secret door and forcibly pulled her out!

The stubborn artificer can only compromise in the end.

The way out of the bottom of the lake was also smooth.

They returned to the shore without encountering any monsters along the way.

"We're so lucky!"

Lumière was habitually jumping on the shore——

This is the sequelae of the frogman potion. His jumping ability is amazing, and he can be four or five meters high in a random jump.

"I didn't even hit a single monster. It's really strange. Usually, there are so many plesiosaurs by the Dalong Lake that they would die!"

But soon, Lumière, who was jumping in mid-air, changed his color:

"Come on!"

Matthew noticed that the direction he was looking at was the location where the Scourge Church and the Wind and Sand Thieves fought before!
"Did someone come over? The Scourge or the Thieves?"

Matthew asked cautiously.

"No, it's full of monsters over there! My God, run, there are all corpses over there! The two groups of people just now were not persuaded by us to fight, but were persuaded by the monsters in the lake!"

Lumiere couldn't help yelling.

On the shore at this moment, several monsters have already surrounded from that direction.

Without saying a word, Matthew grabbed Bobo's hand and ran away.

Lumiere hurried to follow.

The group fled into the rainforest, and after a while, several plesiosaurs came over.

Looking at the dense rainforest, they kept howling a few times, wanting to step forward, but they seemed to hold back because of fear.

They gradually receded and finally disappeared by the lake.

……

after one day.

Edge of the Brine Marsh.

The figures of the three slowly emerged.

"You said what happened to the two groups of people yesterday?"

Lumiere threw the question to Matthew about the result of his hard thinking and meditation all night:

"Could it be that you secretly announced the reward mission of Dalong Lake to both parties, and asked them to lure the monster away for you?"

Matthew responded with a smile:
"A real necromancer might indeed do that."

Bobo corrected:
"And you are a real necromancer."

Matthew glanced at her:
"Actually, you don't have to follow all the way here. After leaving the tomb, the favor you owed me has been cancelled."

Bobo said seriously:

"The favor owed by the artificer cannot be repaid without blowing up. Yesterday's tomb robbery operation went too smoothly. Today I must help you blow up something!"

Matthew shrugged and stopped persuading her.

On the contrary, Bobo looked at the reeds in front of him and asked curiously:

"So what exactly are you doing here?"

"Find a few zombies and spend the night."

Matthew said casually.

His eyes searched the edge of the swamp, and soon he found his favorite target.

Those were two zombies trapped in the reeds and mud.

There is also a shiny nameplate around the neck.

"found it!"

Matthew looked back happily.

In the end, he bumped into Bobo's extremely disgusted eyes:
"Even zombies can stay overnight, and the necromancer is really unexpected."

Matthew couldn't laugh or cry.

He just wanted to explain that it was a misunderstanding.

Right now.

Lumière, who had been watching the wind, suddenly said:

"There is another fight ahead, hehe, I like watching other people fight the most."

"Let me see what idiots are running amok on my territory."

"Hehe, one group of idiots belonged to yesterday's bandit group, and the other group of idiots, uh, seems a little familiar... I'm so stupid!!"

"That's my tribe!!"

……
