The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 186 The Third Mystery Lock

Matthew obviously couldn't learn it.

Theoretically speaking, the Necromancer seems to be the best profession for hitting traps physically.

But in practice it's not that simple.

Whether they are skeletons or zombies, their lives are too fragile. A low-level undead can only trigger one trap at most.

As for a trap-concentrated area like the Spider Tunnel, it would take a lot of effort to use summons to explore them one by one.

As for the high-level undead, ordinary necromancers are reluctant to let them use their bodies to bear the damage of traps.

Therefore, the Margaret elimination method is not suitable for Matthew at this stage.

Have this skill.

He might as well have recruited a thief who was proficient in debugging traps beforehand.

This cost is even lower.

But for Margaret, the power of 4.6 million gold coins allowed her to completely ignore any traps below legend.

The job of an engineer is completely overqualified.

present.

Margaret led the way.

Matthew followed at a distance.

He waited until he passed the area where traps were densely triggered before he caught up with Margaret again.

The path in the spider tunnel is not difficult.

The two walked side by side.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Because the journey was too boring, the two started chatting unconsciously.

And when Matthew asked Margaret what she knew about the Blood Flag Kingdom.

The latter immediately started talking:

“The history of the Blood Flag Kingdom has been recorded in great detail within the alliance, and there is even a special small section in the large library to store books related to the Blood Flag Kingdom.

The earliest founder of this country can be traced back to a man named Memphist.

He is a high-level devil from the "Infinite Cave" on the third level of purgatory. He is the lover and bodyguard of Queen Gracia, the demon queen.

After the promotion of Tianlun Palace.

The natural disaster mage visited Purgatory once, and after a disagreement, he knocked Baator, the then Lord of the Nine Hells, under the "Bridge of All Living Beings" on the ninth floor of Purgatory, and sealed him with the evil gods.

Baator's semi-fall caused the distortion and fission of the purgatory plane.

Hundreds of years later.

Each level of purgatory is very unstable, and many folds are created between the levels. These folds make the relatively unified nine levels of purgatory develop many branch planes like the endless abyss.

After these branch planes passed their initial gestation period, they soon entered the "fission period", which is a period of rapid outward expansion.

The Escana between the planes we are currently in was formed during this stage.

It was the sub-material realm formed after the folds from the Nine Purgatory merged with a certain layer of the Endless Abyss.

And at the beginning of the fission in purgatory.

After witnessing the promotion of Tianlun Palace and the sealing of Bator, the high-level demon Memphist was born with great ambitions.

He tried to persuade the demon queen Gracia to give him an army of demons through the pillow wind.

Memphist told Gracia that he would lead this army to the new planes, defeat all enemies, and find the three drops of "Bato" that were lost in purgatory when the Lord of Nine Hells was injured by the Scourge Mage. blood".

To know.

The Demon Queen Gracia is Baator's biological daughter. With these three drops of Baator's blood, she has the opportunity to become the new Lord of the Nine Hells.

Coupled with her great trust in her lover, Gracia agreed to Memphist's request.

In this way, Memphist led the devil's army to the new Escana, the land beneath our feet.

In the beginning, Memphist did his best to conquer the world for Gracia.

He fought fiercely with the demon army that came here from the abyss for decades, and more than tens of millions of demons died in his hands.

But the devil can never be killed.

Not only that, under the leadership of a great demon lord named Blue, the demons actually united together to resist the invasion of the demon army.

As a result, the war between the purgatory forces in Escana became very tense.

Forced by desperation.

Memphist had no choice but to make a compromise, and he reached an agreement with the Purgatory humans who wandered from nowhere.

The two sides will refrain from aggression and help each other for the next thousand years.

The result was the day after the agreement was signed.

The leader of the Purgatory human race, the woman who did not leave a name in history, showed the blood of Baator she had harvested in front of Memphist.

It turned out that Memphis had been searching hard for Bator's blood for more than ten years, and one drop of it was obtained by the leader of the Purgatory Human Race.

Of course, Memphist is extremely greedy for the blood of Baator.

But the two parties had just signed a contract.

And it is the most serious contract for the devil. He cannot force the other party to hand over the blood of Baator.

Not only was Memphist helpless, but even the other demons in the Third Purgatory behind him could not violate their covenant with the human race in Purgatory.

Memphis thought hard and couldn't find a way, so he reported the matter to the Queen of Desire.

The answer given to him by Gracia, Queen of Desire is:

Just use the beauty trick.

Gracia hoped that Memphist could coax the human leader into submission and allow her to voluntarily submit the blood of Baator.

At first Memphis was a little resistant to the beauty trap.

But after Gracia's repeated persuasion.

He agreed anyway.

Memphis made a hundred preparations in advance and planned to seduce the human leader.

As a result, the two sides hit it off.

In the spring of the next year, the leader of the human race gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

The twins are actually the ancestors of your friend Rhaegar and the true founders of the Blood Flag Kingdom.

anyway.

Seeing the growing relationship between Memphite and the human leader, Gracia urged Memphite to quickly retrieve the blood of Baator.

But the human heart is such a magical thing.

After having children.

Memphist's ambition faded instead. He did not want his children to be dominated by the devil. Years of wars also made him tired of the endless bloodshed.

When the human leader actually gave the blood of Baator to Memphist, the latter did not hand it over to the Queen of Desire, but split it in two and integrated it into the bodies of the twins.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why the Kingdom of Blood Banner can still stand in Escana.

After all, they have the blood of Lord Bato, the previous generation’s Lord of Nine Hells, flowing through them! "

Matthew listened with great interest.

I didn’t expect that the Blood Flag Kingdom had such an origin.

"What happened next?"

"Demon Queen Gracia will definitely not let Memphist and the human leader go just like that, right?"

Matthew asked.

Margaret nodded:

"Of course, when the blood of Baator was integrated into the dragon and phoenix, the Queen of Desire became aware of Memphist's betrayal.

Devils are very scary creatures. They have a strict hierarchy and orderly system between their superiors and subordinates.

Memphist's betrayal made Gracia furious.

She sent an army of devils to fight across borders.

Although Memphist had reached a peace agreement with the great demon lord Blue at this time.

But the devil army he led and the elites of the purgatory human race were unable to withstand the army of the Queen of Desire.

After an extremely miserable battle of annihilation.

The leader of the human race who had just given birth died on the battlefield.

Memphist was captured and taken back to the Third Infinite Cave of Purgatory.

The twins were entrusted to a mysterious warrior monk to be raised by Memphist.

decades later.

There is no record of the twins within the alliance.

On the contrary, it was Memphister.

After he was captured by the Queen of Desire, he suffered humiliation day and night.

It is said that one of the things that the Queen of Desire loves to do most is to appear in front of Memphist in the form of a human leader.

Then in front of him, he had a verbal and sword fight with other devils.

Even asked Memphis:

‘How wonderful is that mortal woman? ’

‘Can she do what I do? ’

‘Give you another chance to show me how you and she did it! ’

Things like that.

All in all, it’s just too much…”

Hear this.

Matthew couldn't help but wonder:

"Can even such content be found in the Alliance library?"

"It's described as if someone was actually present when the Queen of Desire tortured Memphist."

Margaret said disapprovingly:

"Of course, the author of the "Secret History of the Secret Cave" which records the ins and outs of this incident is another personal guard of the Queen of Desire.

He witnessed everything that happened.

Later, by chance, he became Mr. Fei Capital's contract devil, so he joined the Seven Saints Alliance and served as the director of the Great Library.

If you go to the big library now, you will have a chance to meet that gentleman.

That gentleman wrote many books, all of which are famous for their authenticity.

What's even more rare is that the gentleman's works are not only highly professional, but also very readable. I strongly recommend that you borrow a few more books to read when you have time! "

Matthew asked curiously:

"Why do you call that gentleman? Don't you have a specific name?"

Margaret shook her head:

"That gentleman has written too many secret histories of important people and is easily hated by others, so his name has been erased. We can only call him that gentleman. As far as I know, the personal guard of the Queen of Desire In fact, it is just an incarnation of that gentleman.

He has thousands of incarnations.

Some people suspect that he is another powerful devil close to the Lord of Nine Hells.

But so far there is no actual basis. "

Matthew felt quite emotional after hearing this.

It seems that I still have to go to the alliance's big library often. In addition to learning spells, I also need to learn all kinds of knowledge.

To avoid suffering losses in related fields in the future.

"What happens next?"

"The Queen of Desire just let Memphist's children go?"

Matthew continued to ask.

Margaret said:

"Of course not. After that, the Queen of Desire sent people to search Escana, but unfortunately they could not find the whereabouts of the twins. Memphist was also very stubborn. He did not reveal the whereabouts of his children until he was tortured to the point of losing his mind. .

Until three hundred years later.

A pair of tieflings appeared on the land of Escana, who controlled the thunder and frost and the forbidden blood curse respectively. Their relationship was that of brother and sister and lovers.

They are the sons of the devil who were born with the blood of Baator.

The two relied on their extremely powerful strength to defeat all enemies.

In just two years, they established the Blood Flag Kingdom on this land.

It is said that when the Blood Flag Kingdom was at its peak, the two siblings even led an army into the third level of purgatory.

In the end, they fought hard with the Queen of Desire.

It was also after experiencing this battle.

Only then did people realize the excellence of the tiefling race.

This race can not only possess the innate power of the devil, but will not be bound by order for life like the devil.

The best among tieflings possess near-human evolutionary potential.

The Blood Flag Kingdom established by the two siblings immediately attracted tieflings from other parts of the multiverse to join.

During the heyday of the Blood Banner Kingdom.

They can even compete with the most powerful layer among the Nine Hells!

It's a pity that tiefling did not inherit the devil's long lifespan.

So today, more than a thousand years later.

The Blood Banner Kingdom's rule in Escana is not as strong as it originally was.

After several stormy events.

The current Blood Flag Kingdom can only be described as internal and external troubles. "

Matthew felt something was wrong as he listened:

"Wait, more than a thousand years later?"

"The blood of Bator was shed in purgatory after the Tianlun Palace was ascended, right?"

"It's only a few hundred years since Tianlun Palace ascended to the palace..."

Margaret patiently explained:

“That’s because of the fission period.

Remember what I said before that Purgatory went through a long period of expansion and expansion after Baator was sealed?

At that stage, the flow of time in purgatory was greatly accelerated.

In the main material world, it has only been a few hundred years since Tianlun Palace ascended to the palace.

But for Purgatory, more than a thousand years have actually passed.

Until fifty years ago.

The fission period has just ended.

Only then did the time flow rate in purgatory rematch with that of the main material world.

It was also from that period that the devils once again focused their malicious eyes on the continent of Irondor. "

"Time is actually a very subtle concept. It is not as stable as you think."

"For example, in our impression, the promotion of Tianlun Palace happened hundreds of years ago. But is it hundreds of years ago? Can you be sure?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment.

yes!

How many hundred years ago was it?

Why isn't there a clear description?

He had barely thought about it before.

It seems that the knowledge about this aspect has been completely blocked.

Margaret smiled slightly:

"This is not your confusion alone. In fact, no one knows the specific time when Tianlun Palace's ascension occurred, including divine mages like Suriel and Isabel, who don't have accurate answers."

"This is because the promotion of Tianlun Palace had such a far-reaching impact. The natural disaster mage released too much energy in the event of banishing the gods. This energy distorted the realm of time and made the era blur."

"To this day, the alliance's mages have calculated using various methods to estimate the time of Tianlun Palace's ascension to between 200 and 400 years ago. This is already a great progress."

"According to my teacher's speculation, if we want to know the specific time of this historical event, we must have the same level of power as the natural disaster mage."

"That's obviously very difficult to do."

"So as long as we have this concept in our minds, we don't have to dig into it."

"Correspondingly, the three mystery locks imposed by the gods on the continent of Irondor are also the same."

"We only need to know its concept and existence, there is no need to study its content in detail."

When Matthew heard this, his heart moved:

"By the way, I only know two of the three mystery locks so far."

“One is the intellectual mystery lock, which blocks the knowledge and history of the gods;

One is the civilization mystery lock, which blocks the development of civilization in the world of Irondor;

What's the third one? "

Margaret said in astonishment:

"You actually haven't even fully understood the three major mystery locks?"

Matthew scratched his head in embarrassment:

"This is what our country mages are like."

Margaret frowned worriedly:

"I don't even care if you go to purgatory like this."

"You have to work hard on your basic skills!"

"As for the third mystery lock, it is the "chaos mystery lock"! "

I spent most of the day with my child for a physical examination today, so it should be a little shorter.
