The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 182 Melee Glory and the Fugitive Prince

…

What?

Rhaegar was captured?

Matthew was instinctively surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible.

He quickly checked the vision and found that there were few relevant images. The only information contained did not include Rhaegar's face. They were all statements made by the Bru tribe and the Blood Banner Kingdom.

But this ability of world events is similar to Roland's ability to catch wind and shadow.

It is impossible for it to generate such a message for no reason.

Rhaegar must have been in trouble on his way to Purgatory.

Matthew took a few steps back and forth and left the cemetery without hesitation, intending to go to town to discuss with Zeller.

Sif was placed quite safely in the cemetery.

Currently, the two safest places in Rolling Stone are Matthew's Oak Grove and Cemetery.

Both of these ceremonial grounds mobilized the power of his own domain, and were guarded by Obest and Argus respectively.

These two individuals are very strong. In a home game, if you want to defeat them quickly, you will need at least a five-level team of four.

This configuration is rare in the entire South.

So Matthew felt relieved when he left.

When he arrived at the Lord's Mansion, it was already dark.

Matthew wanted to go to Zeller's room to find him, but he didn't expect to see some firelights in the office hall from a distance.

He came into the corridor.

I heard a cough from a distance, and when I got closer I realized that Zeller was still working in the office!

"I thought you were overdue for some rest."

Matthew did not cover up the sound of his footsteps and knocked on the door.

Zeller looked up at him and showed a charming smile:

"Learn from your mages."

"I heard that the most diligent mages will use spells to deprive themselves of the ability to sleep in order to ensure that they can absorb knowledge twenty-four hours a day."

"The second best will also compress their sleep time to two to four hours a day."

Matthew walked in and said helplessly:

"It seems that I have lowered the average diligence level of mages."

Zeller smiled:

"Necromancers are originally regarded as aliens among mages. Speaking of which, have you ever considered transforming yourself into a lich in the future? I heard that this is the ultimate dream of many necromancers."

Matthew shook his head:

"To me, the Lich is the last resort. Obtaining immortality through this method is somewhat self-deceptive. In the end, it failed to override death and remained a slave of death."

He came to the desk, looked at the thick stack of documents, and frowned:

"You have too many things to deal with, right?"

"What about the Committee of Five?"

"Shouldn't a lot of things be left to them?"

Zeller placed the quill on the shelf next to him, rubbed his face with both hands, and sighed helplessly:

“The number of refugees is too great, and targeted measures need to be continuously introduced.

The war between Highleaf Collar and Red Mountain is expected to produce more refugees.

The current town of Rolling Stone is like a raised plateau in the war-torn surrounding territory.

Many civilians fled here with their families.

If it weren't for the legends of man-eating trees and zombies, your oak forest would be surrounded by a large number of homeless people.

This problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause greater disaster. "

"The five-member committee can only deal with daily government affairs. As the current situation has developed, many pieces of information are related to each other. I don't want Rolling Stone to always find out later, so it is inevitable that we must be more diligent."

Matthew said with admiration:

"You are the least warlock-like person I have ever met."

Zeller took a sip of ginger water:

"Say it as if you have seen many warlocks."

"People always have a stereotype about warlocks. They naturally think that all warlocks are frivolous and dissolute, just like necromancers who always like to steal corpses."

Matthew smiled:

"Some of my colleagues do like to steal corpses, but that is a helpless act. After all, magic materials such as humans are still too expensive."

"But you are right. I am just surprised that your talent and ability in handling government affairs have nothing to do with the profession of warlock."

Zeller said calmly:

"No one is born to do these tedious tasks."

"But Rhaegar needs someone like this by his side."

Rhaegar needed it.

Are you on board?

Matthew's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask:

"He saved your life?"

Zeller said unabashedly:

"More than once."

Nights always seem to open people up.

The two looked at each other across the desk, with candles flickering on both sides.

Matthew could see the flash of reminiscence in Zeller's eyes:

“I lived in darkness when I was young.

It's hard to describe that environment in words.

It was like the darkness was so dark that the air around him turned into hard metal.

You can't move, you can't breathe, it's hard to even blink.

To this day, it’s hard for me to recall the details.

All I remember is the day I met Rhaegar.

I seemed to have encountered a light. "

At this point, he fell silent, seeming to be completely lost in memories.

Matthew said nothing and waited until Zeller's attention returned to reality before he slowly said:

"It's unimaginable."

"In fact, for a long time, Rhaegar gave me the same feeling as one of my artificer friends - she and I agreed that he was responsible for the fun in the crowd."

Zeller smiled softly:

"That was now. He was not like this before. Young Rhaegar was much more reckless and had many bad habits, but he was always lovable."

"Think about it carefully, have you ever hated Rhaegar?"

Matthew thought about it carefully:

"It seems like I never hated him from the beginning to the end."

Zeller asked again:

"Then do you like Rhaegar?"

Matthew reluctantly said:

"Okay."

Zeller smiled and said:

"That's right. Even though he has problems like this, everyone loves Rhaegar. This is his charm."

Matthew blinked:

"But our beloved charmer may be in trouble."

With that, he told the whole story of why he suddenly visited.

"You mean, you have a bard-like ability and received the news that Rhaegar was kidnapped?"

Zeller rubbed his temples, his expression a bit strange.

"Maybe not a kidnapping, but a prisoner."

Matthew said.

Zeller frowned:

"It shouldn't be possible.

The portal to purgatory goes straight to the heart of the Blood Flag Kingdom. If he was captured by the demons of the Bru tribe there, then the Blood Flag Kingdom might not be far away from being destroyed.

This is completely inconsistent with the news we received some time ago.

The strength of the Blood Banner Kingdom is still very strong, at least on par with the big Bru tribe.

Is it possible that the news you received was a smoke bomb spread by the Buru tribe? "

Matthew pondered:

"You mean, we have to believe Rhaegar?"

Zeller nodded:

"He's not as unreliable as you think."

Matthew scratched his head.

There was no way, maybe because the inherent impression was too deep, he couldn't associate Rega with the word "reliable".

"Rhaegar is actually a very intelligent guy.

He had faced the Balrog alone.

He also used astral projection to steal the treasure chest of the Variety Giant.

He knows Purgatory well, and his fighting power is actually far more powerful than you see.

But in most cases, he seals his own form, and only a handful of enemies can appreciate his rage——

That's not a lucky thing. "

Zeller comforted:

"Let's do this. I will try to use the prophecy spell tomorrow morning to confirm Rhaegar's safety."

"I'm too tired tonight and don't have much strength left to cast spells."

Fellow spellcaster Matthew certainly understands Zeller's situation.

Since the latter has so much confidence in Rhaegar.

Matthew felt a lot more relieved.

At that moment, he persuaded Zeller a few more words, asking him not to work too hard, and then left the office hall.

Just walking down the corridor.

I can still hear coughing from behind from time to time.

…

On the way back to town.

Matthew is still studying the "World Events" ability.

A new discovery is that this ability actually has an event tracking function.

Matthew checked the tracking functions of the three messages respectively.

This way.

If relevant information is updated in the future, Matthew will have a greater chance of learning about it.

After the operation is completed.

Only then did Matthew focus on the first two messages.

I was only worried about Rhaegar before and didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, the first two pieces of news have a greater impact on the world structure.

Especially the fact that the Guardian of the East killed the evil dragon in the sea was enough to trigger a "vision" that changed the entire East.

Matthew clicked on the details.

In an instant, he saw many, many things——

He saw the tragic scene of Chen, the Guardian of the East, fighting against the evil dragon in the sea.

Shockingly so.

This legendary mage spent almost the entire process fighting the evil dragon.

He turned into a huge shadow and entangled with the enemy. On both sides, you punched me and kicked me, from the sea to the sky, and from the sky to the sea.

This was the reason why tsunamis occurred frequently in the Endless Ocean before.

Matthew noticed that Chen also used spells, but those spells were either melee force field spells, such as "Chen's Diamond Fist", "Chen's Bone-Shattering Flying Palm", "Chen's Spell Drunken Fist";

Or it is a BUFF that strengthens one's own attributes, such as "Legendary Power", "Indestructible", "Giant Fighting", etc.

However, he is such a legendary mage who is very capable.

Forcibly, he beat the evil dragon in the sea to death!

Matthew watched it for a while. Even though it was only a very blurry slide, he was still shocked.

…

"Hint: You have noticed some characteristics and abilities of Eastern Guardian Chen——

Legendary Feature: Melee Glory (Legendary Mage Chen has completely given up on long-range capabilities. He will not be able to attack enemies more than five meters away from himself. As compensation, the effect of his melee combat spells will be increased to 500% of the original value)

Ability: Master of Boxing (the legendary mage Chen has mastered almost all the boxing skills of Irondor since ancient times)

Ability: Sharp teeth and sharp mouth (Chen has trained his teeth into the ultimate weapon, which can easily tear through any object with an armor level below 20)

Ability: Astral Tempering Body (Chen uses the light of the astral world to temper his body, making its strength reach the level of evil spirits in the outer plane)

…

Chen killed the evil dragon in the sea and gained "heroic power"!

Heroic Power (Plane Blessing/Main Material Realm): In battles that take place in the main material realm, Chen will receive the highest priority judgment. This is the blessing of the world's pan-consciousness to the hero.

Duration: 30 years.

As a member of the Seven Saints Alliance and humanity, you have also benefited from this, in the 36 months since Chen killed the evil dragon in the sea.

You will get "Heroic Descendants".

Heroic descendants: When you fight monsters, you will have a very small chance of receiving blessings from the pan-consciousness of the world. "

…

"Didn't you expect that you could follow suit?"

Matthew and Yourong Yan.

Immediately he thought secretly:

“It seems that the four guardians of the alliance each have their own characteristics. Eastern Guardian Chen is good at force field-type melee spells;

Roderick, the Guardian of the North, specializes in the field of prophecy;

Ronan, the Guardian of the South, is skilled in conjuration and thaumaturgy;

I just don’t know what Guardians of the West is good at. "

Chen killed the evil dragon queen in the sea.

Matthew saw Nielong's body sinking into the sea, and a huge whirlpool formed on the sea. The whirlpool grew larger and larger, eventually affecting the airflow in the sky.

The city that had always appeared in the sky over the sea was pulled to the surface by the air currents.

It gradually merges with the whirlpool to form a spectacular magical spectacle.

The last scene Matthew saw.

It was the city hanging upside down over the sea.

Although there is still a certain distance from the sea, it is not as far away as before.

In the scene he observed, some ships were already trying to approach the upside-down island, but he didn't know what would happen next.

The news is certain.

The upside-down floating city is not the legendary ruins above the clouds, nor does it seem to be the Eastern Fairy Kingdom.

Instead, it is a floating city that suddenly appears in the main material world.

Such a existence.

It is sure to attract countless adventurers and ambitious people.

The eastern sea area can only be said to be one wave that has just calmed down, and another wave has arisen.

And in the details page of the troll tribe.

Matthew also discovers more.

…

"Hint: By observing the vision of the establishment of the Troll Kingdom, you extracted the following key information——

Thriving: The trolls are firmly united around the royal capital Shijia City. This new kingdom has abundant vitality and unlimited possibilities.

Population explosion: The Troll Kingdom is in the midst of an explosion of rapid population growth.

United as One: The trolls are committed to reviving the glory of the ancient troll empire, and the people of the country are united and working together.

Sweet potato cultivation: The trolls seem to have mastered a new type of sweet potato cultivation technology. They can grow giant sweet potatoes underground or in caves, which can increase their food production very quickly.

Weapons shortage: The trolls are all soldiers, but there is a shortage of weapons in the Iron City. The short spears they are used to are not common on the market, and the trolls themselves are not good at forging weapons. "

…

"This troll kingdom looks very promising."

"It's just too far away from Rolling Stone Town, otherwise it could be a potential alliance partner."

Matthew thought to himself.

Shijia City is located further north in the Helen Mountains, which is the hinterland of the North.

That area is sparsely populated and lacking in supplies. It was once the territory of the Three Winter Sisters, and is now home to a small number of humans, barbarians, dwarves, and trolls.

Unfortunately it's too far.

Matthew was only going to pay a little attention.

However, after the first kingdom appeared, there must be many followers.

The continent of Irondor.

I'm afraid we will soon enter the age of kings.

Matthew returns to the cemetery.

I just happened to bump into Red Flame Nightmare. This guy ran out every two days. He didn't show any stage fright when he saw Matthew. He licked him wildly, which made Matthew look disgusted.

But soon.

Nightmare tilted his head, and two white lights poured out of his ears——

This is one of the hidden abilities of Red Flame Nightmare.

It can stuff a small amount of objects into its ears, and its ears have the characteristics of dimensional space.

Nightmare clapped its hooves gleefully over the two things.

Matthew took a closer look.

The first thing was actually a map!

This map depicts the distribution of forces in the Underdark Region in great detail, layer by layer.

It's just that there are too many layers in the Underdark, and roads extend in all directions. Matthew felt dizzy after looking at the dense contours for a while.

"No, this is not an ordinary map, this is a magic map!"

Matthew soon realized something unusual about the map.

The magical aura gushing out from the four corners was particularly clear.

There's a hint of dark magic.

"Where did you get it?"

Matthew asked.

However, the nightmare only knows how to have fun, and Matthew can only receive a very vague message.

"A place far, far away?"

"There is a majestic city, and the statue at the gate of the city is a black dragon?"

"Is it Black Dragon City or Extremely Freeze City?"

No one could answer Matthew's question.

Immediately he looked at the stone slab again.

Matthew threw a Forensic Technique.

…

"Tip: Identification failed!

You need more knowledge (gods/wonders/destiny) to understand the meaning of this stone! "

…

Matthew was shocked.

Need so much extra knowledge?

This means that the slate has an extraordinary origin.

At the moment, he put the two things away properly and warned Nightmare:

"Better not run around blindly."

"Even if you have to run, you must pay attention to safety. Don't do whatever you want just because you have "Aether Jump", do you understand? "

Nightmare snorted.

There is a "I know, I will dare next time" attitude.

Matthew had no choice but to stuff two escape scrolls into him and warned:

"Don't tell me it's my horse if someone catches it!"

After this night.

Matthew continues to study spells in the cemetery.

Early in the morning.

Just when Matthew was drifting off to sleep.

"World Events" has been updated!

…

"Private: In Escana, according to an internal demon from Stuluk Industries, the only male heir of the Blood Flag Kingdom was indeed captured by the tribe, but he soon escaped from prison.

The Bulu tribe is currently working hard to capture the fugitive prince of the Blood Banner Kingdom.

Blood Flag Kingdom stated that the above is all false news.

They once again reiterated that the Blood Banner royal family has no male heir. "

…

Rhaegar escaped?

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, this guy still has a lot of tools. With his wealth, he should have a lot of escape tools at hand.

Purgatory is his home turf again.

I really don't have to worry too much about him.

Think so.

Matthew went off to have a good sleep.

Get up the next morning.

He deliberately planted a few trees on the land where there was spring all year round.

But when I just returned to the cemetery.

Then he saw Zeller coming up to him in a hurry:

"Oops Matthew!"

"Rhaega has really been captured!"

Matthew said calmly:

"Didn't I know that last night?"

"I got the latest news this morning, he escaped and is still on the run."

Unexpectedly, Zeller said with a wry smile:

"That's backward news."

"I just confirmed it with the prophecy spell. Rhaegar was captured again while escaping!"

Matthew was shocked:

"Caught again?"

"He can be captured by demons twice?"

Zeller shook his head:

"The person who captured him this time was a private army from the Blood Flag Kingdom."

"If I remember correctly, the leader of that army was one of his sisters."

Matthew touched his chin:

"That should be fine, right?"

Zeller said seriously:

"No, it's very bad."

"Originally, Rhaegar planned to secretly return home this time, sneaking into the Blood Flag family's old castle "Red and Black", meeting only a few trusted old retainers, and taking away some information and props. "

"But the news leaked out for some reason, and now the entire Blood Banner Kingdom knows that Rhaegar is back."

"All his sisters and aunts are looking for him!"

"They are more dangerous than the demons of the Bru tribe!"

Matthew was puzzled and said:

"Why is this happening?"

Zeller sighed and said:

"If it falls into the hands of the devil, I believe that with Rhaegar's ability, he can always find a chance to escape."

"But if it were his sisters..."

"It can only be said that there is little hope that we will see Rhaegar in our lifetime."

Matthew has a little pain in his balls:

"But we can't confirm the authenticity of the news now, right?"

Zeller also nodded awkwardly:
