Chapter 389 The Absolute Moment and the Miserable Wood Elves

Chapter 389 "Absolute Moment" and the Miserable Wood Elves

Matthew looked at Terraste calmly:

"Neither I, nor the Alliance, have any intention of interfering with your decision."

"This is your wood elves' own business."

"The alliance's stance towards Jade Cangting will remain neutral as always."

Matthew didn't lie in what he said.

In fact.

The Alliance of Seven Saints has full respect for most secular forces on the continent of Irondor.

Whether it is a human city-state or an elven city.

It is rare for mages to forcibly interfere in local or regional internal politics.

Jade Cangting and the previous Watcher's Heights are similar examples.

certainly.

This is also related to the fact that mages are indifferent to what happens elsewhere except around them.

There was a satisfied expression on Terraste's face.

Matthew immediately asked again:

"After you became a sword master, how many times did you take action?"

Terraste said puzzledly:

"Why do you ask this question?"

Matthew's tone was very normal:

"Oh, just ask."

Terraste replied:

"I rarely take action and rarely have disputes with people."

"Even when we had a conflict with the Presbyterians last time, we only lightly punished the evil leaders and did not harm their lives."

"Strictly speaking, killing the green dragon Fatina is the first time I have seen blood in these years..."

"Of course, many years ago, when I was the Grand Marshal of the Wind Chasers, I killed many outsiders who tried to invade the Jade Cangting border, but that was a long, long time ago..."

There was a trace of reminiscence on the face of the old elf man.

"It was so long that I can hardly remember the faces of those enemies, nor what I looked like at that time."

"Sometimes, I even doubt the authenticity of those memories - the young me in the memory and the me now are like two people."

"This is also one of the sorrows of the immortal species."

"Alive, alive, the past you are dead, a brand new you is quietly taking shape in your body, and has all the memories of the past you - when I say this, do you feel a little scary?"

Terraste looked at Matthew with interest.

Matthew nodded seriously:

"It's really scary."

He could feel that what Terraste said to him was true.

It seems.

This extremely powerful Apocalypse Sword Master also has a lot of confusion and confusion deep in his heart.

"I came to you today. First of all, I want to confirm the authenticity of the Road to Glory plan."

Matthew changed the topic back on track:

"Since the announcement of this plan, the Alliance has received a lot of feedback from Jade Cangting."

"As you may have guessed, many people have written to us asking for help."

A trace of anger and disdain suddenly flashed across Tyrast's brows and eyes.

He said to Matthew hastily:

"Give me the list of those people."

"I promise they won't harass you next time."

This time.

Matthew firmly chose to refuse:

"No, I wouldn't do that."

"First of all, if you really want to find them, you must have a way to find them."

"Secondly, those people pose no intrinsic threat to you."

"Finally, what I want to tell you is that the Road to Glory plan you announced has hidden dangers that are too extreme and may cause chaos."

"As of right now, it's unlikely that the league or I will be out personally."

"But one thing - you can't mess it up."

When Matthew said these words.

He observed Terras's expression and emotional changes very carefully.

In order to more fully capture the mind of the Apocalypse Sword Master.

Matthew even quietly turned on balanced perception.

This helps him judge Terrast's likes and dislikes on an elemental level.

Terraste snorted slightly.

Then he said rather forcefully:

"There's no way I could mess this up."

"As you can see, those people can't stop me at all!"

Matthew showed a noncommittal expression:

"Of course I know how powerful you are, and I also know that few people in this world can stop you."

"But I must be responsible for the Mark of the Dead project. You also know what happened recently. The warlock Lance came to the Jade Cangting in a big way and tried to assassinate me - while I was busy working on the Mark of the Dead outside the city. While on the run.”

"Personally, this matter came to an end after I conquered the sampan plane."

"Next, I will do my best to manage the Scars of the Dead. During this period, I don't want to be affected in any way."

Of course, Terraste is not stupid.

He heard what Matthew meant:

"what do you want?"

Matthew took a gentle breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer - there was nothing he could do, Tyrast's personal strength was there, and now he was suspected of having a drastic change in temperament, even if Matthew was completely reasonable. , and dare not deceive others too much:

"I will apply to the alliance for a defense team to be stationed around the mage camp."

"In addition, in the next thirty-six months, Windward Valley will maintain a high degree of martial law. I will move the mage camp to Windward Valley as soon as possible. If possible, I hope to sign an agreement with Jade Cangting. Agreement to lease Windward Valley.”

Terraste's eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Lease?"

"You want me to give up Windward Valley?"

Matthew felt tremendous pressure.

But this time.

He didn't back down.

He believed that Tyrast's current focus was still on rectifying the internal problems of the wood elves.

Windward Valley is definitely something to talk about.

"According to our investigation of the warlock Lance, the Windward Valley is an important channel for creatures from the outer plane to penetrate into the main material world. I have already suffered a near-fatal attack, and of course I don't want to encounter it a second time, so this The inspection must be thorough enough, and I will not miss any detail."

"In addition, I used the undead natural disaster to destroy the sampan plane. In order to prevent a large number of undead from spilling into the Jade Cangting, I decided to personally station in Windward Valley. This is to solve the trouble for you."

"You don't want zombies or skeletons to knock on the door of an ordinary elf's house every now and then, right?"

Matthew talked freely.

Terraste was silent.

Of course he knew that the other party was talking nonsense, but at this juncture, he really didn't have the extra energy to argue with Matthew.

Just think of this.

His mood suddenly became a little irritable.

The eyes looking at Matthew also had a hint of murderous intent——

This killing intent was fleeting.

But Matthew keenly captured it.

His heart beat violently.

On the surface.

Matthew remained calm:

"Windward Valley is still your land, and I have no intention of occupying it. But judging from the current situation, whether it is tracking down the remnants of the Calamity Cult, managing the Traces of the Dead, or dealing with the remaining remnants of the Sampan Plane, Even if there is a natural disaster of the undead, I need to obtain the right to stay in Windward Valley for a long time."

"And our presence actually helps you divert the attention of ordinary elves, doesn't it?"

Hear this.

Tyrast finally spoke slowly:

"Windward Valley can't give it all to you."

Matthew is quite decisive:

"Then half."

"After dealing with the ruins left by the undead natural disaster, I plan to carry out secondary development of the sampan plane. This requires a lot of manpower and investment. To this end, I plan to form a business group for plane development. There are already many People invest, including archmages like Ekmund.”

"As long as you can handle the situation in Jade Cangting, you will definitely have a share in the development of the sampan plane."

Terraste emphasized expressionlessly:

"I want to have a share of Jade Cangting!"

Matthew was quite cheerful:

"Can."

His body is very soft.

The main reason is that Tyrast's figure doesn't look as soft as before.

And Matthew actually laid a little trap in his words——

The premise for him to divide the interests of Jade Cangting was that the political situation of the wood elves could remain stable.

But judging from Matthew’s current premonition.

The bloody storm in Jade Cangting may not stop so quickly.

Terraste, whose temperament changed drastically, thought he had found the key to solving the problem.

But he may not realize it.

When you raise the butcher knife.

You may never let it go!

This is different from Matthew's push on the sampan plane. The dead in the sampan plane are all astral beings who have massacred humans. This is tit-for-tat revenge, so he launches the undead natural disaster without any psychological burden.

But Terraste is different.

He was facing compatriots who had the same flesh and blood as himself.

Such reckless use of extreme measures to try to solve problems within the ethnic group.

There is a high probability that it will cause bigger problems later!

Matthew could vaguely sense it.

Something very bad may happen in Jade Cangting next!

Of course Matthew's prophecy spell is a piece of shit.

But his intuition was quite accurate.

If you say before.

His intuition was still a vague warning sign.

So now.

After having a solidified equilibrium node on my body.

Matthew could feel his once vague intuition becoming clear and strong.

at the same time.

He also became more careful about the weighing of various decisions.

He could feel that every move or even a thought he had had the potential to change the balance between many camps.

This balance is so delicate.

It was like walking slowly on a pile of broken glass.

You may get stung if you are not careful!

"Except for the half of the Windward Valley designated for you and the area near the Mark of the Dead that was previously agreed upon."

"No other mages can go anywhere except you!"

Terraste slowly stated the remaining conditions.

Matthew, who had gained the core interests, was quite easy to talk to.

He didn't even hold Terrast accountable for the warlock Lance!

Under Matthew's deliberate flattery.

The chat atmosphere between the two became much more relaxed.

Terraste's mood seemed to improve:

"Telanie told me before that your skeleton is very special. It can actually appreciate the relics of Hathor, the ancient beauty god. This is the key to that basement. You can bring it over to appreciate it at any time."

"If there is anything you particularly like, you can take one or two pieces and just let me know when the time comes."

Matthew smiled and took the key handed over by the old elf.

Tyrast's mind is still very clear.

There are enough steps on Matthew's side.

He immediately reciprocated the favor.

The relics of the ancient God of Beauty are quite valuable. After Matthew thanked them, he naturally said some kind words very wisely.

The two chatted for more than twenty minutes before saying goodbye to each other.

Immediately, Matthew returned to Windward Valley and began to make arrangements to move the mage camp to Windward Valley.

But it took a long time.

Terraste's face still popped up in Matthew's mind from time to time.

The changes in the old elf before and after slaying the dragon are really touching.

"What Ekmund said is right, power is terrifying, and everyone who tastes power will face the risk of losing control."

Terraste's behavior is difficult to simply define as right or wrong.

But as an outsider, Matthew believes that it will be difficult for him to achieve what he wants, and it may even be counterproductive!

The changes in Terraste also made Matthew secretly alert.

He reflects on whether his behavior and thinking patterns have also changed with the growth of strength?

The answer is of course yes.

No extraordinary person will deal with problems in the way ordinary people think.

This change is not necessarily all bad.

Matthew can actually accept the changes that power brings to him.

But he wants to ensure that this change is overall controllable.

Just don’t make any principled deviations.

As for this undead natural disaster, he was actually walking on the edge of principled deviation.

"Fortunately, I caught it in time..."

Matthew silently reminded himself that he must always reflect on himself in the future, otherwise he would easily overturn.

Think of this.

He suddenly felt the preciousness of the Seven Saints, especially the Divine Mages!

In essence.

They are no longer the same species as ordinary humans, or even ordinary legends.

But they still didn’t behave too extreme——

Compared to Terraste's sudden "awakening".

The "killing index" that Matthew thought was ridiculous before is actually not that difficult to accept!

Think about it now.

Those ridiculous things about mages or gods.

I'm afraid it's also caused by the subtle distortion of personality by power.

It's just that the aspects of expression are different.

Just think of this.

Matthew actually felt a little awkward about power——

"It would not be so bad if there were no supernatural powers in this world at all?"

The thought flashed through his mind.

Immediately he smiled bitterly twice.

Then he immersed himself in work again.

The next two days.

With the help of Hood's golem troops, Matthew successfully carved out a territory in the Windward Valley near the Troll Corridor.

They simply and crudely overturned the original building.

And plans to build a barracks belonging to the Seven Saints Alliance here.

This move did not encounter much resistance from the elves.

Because Tyrast has really attracted the hatred of all the elves!

Just these two days.

The number of elves who died in his hands continued to soar!

Although most of the dead were former dignitaries and older people, all the wood elves were panic-stricken.

In order to avoid getting involved in the great changes in Jade Cangting.

Matthew bound all members of the Mark of the Dead project to the previous mage camp and the new camp in Windward Valley.

And this time.

The tragedy in the sampan plane gradually spread to other places through visions and gossip.

Of course the mages got the news early.

Matthew could feel it.

The eyes of the apprentices and assistants looking at him changed from respect to awe.

Wherever he went, everyone was working meticulously, and no one dared to neglect.

Therefore, the subsequent transfer of the camp also went very smoothly.

All of Matthew's orders were executed to perfection.

This made him quite satisfied.

For Matthew himself, the plan to frighten the creatures in the outer planes has come to an end.

He originally fought with the goal of a quick victory.

So far, the task has been exceeded.

Then we just need to wait for the reputation and word-of-mouth to continue to ferment.

quickly.

Matthew sent away the legendary mage Mulan and other invited friends.

Mullan's attitude towards him was quite friendly.

When he left, he held Matthew's hand and told him to remember to visit Gemstone Mountain in the future.

Matthew guessed it was because the legendary mage had completed a rather important mission just by paddling through the water.

Mulan can also get a pretty good reward from the Silver Council this time when he goes back.

certainly.

Matthew also had a very good impression of Mullan.

no way.

Who doesn’t love an invincible gemstone that can be worn on your body?

He was even thinking about pulling Mulan into his magic guild!

This way when I go to the astral world in the future.

It can provide an extra layer of personal protection.

Except Mulan.

Bobo and Lumiere, who had been on standby in Moonglade but had no chance to perform, left for the west of Rolling Stone Town three days after Matthew's return.

Lumiere had previously received the development order for Rolling Stone Town.

Next, he will lead his own tribe to assist Rolling Stone Town in dealing with the problem of mountain tribes.

Bobo seemed to be free recently and offered to help, so the two went together.

Hibbert and Feliwen also completed the initial optimization of the Magic Network.

The two returned to the Far North Floating City together.

However, the two of them are mages. After Matthew opens his permissions, they can visit Moonglade at any time, so it is not difficult to meet.

Especially after the optimization of these two genius mages.

Guild spells have been greatly improved.

The first is the most frequently used Mage Hand.

This spell has been given plural properties——

Originally, only one mage hand was shared for free, which meant that when one member was using the mage hand, the other member had to wait for him to use it up and wait for the spell cooldown to expire before he could continue to use it.

Feliwen perfectly optimized the "Shared Mage Hands", bringing the number of working mage hands to the level of one per person.

This resolves conflicts between members.

The disadvantage is that it seems to have lost some of the spirit of sharing.

Then there is the instant return to town function.

This was also done by Fei Liwen.

Current guild members can enjoy three free instant return opportunities as long as they hold a badge that Fei Liwen has personally enchanted.

As long as you're on multiple planes of Ain.

No matter how dangerous the situation is, you can quickly escape and return to the Moonglade.

This is a very important life-saving means for anyone.

certainly.

The return spell will leave a magic mark, and the enemy is likely to track it into the Moonglade. This is something that all other guild members need to face together.

Matthew feels that the return spell is quite valuable for development.

He conveniently asked the owl Ella and other nature spirits still active in the Moonglade to build a tavern near the return point.

It is convenient for members to settle down and rest after their return trip.

certainly.

In the future, as the guild grows and the number of members increases, Matthew doesn't mind selling some drinks or providing other services in the tavern...

Feliwen's skills are worthy of the name of a magic genius.

But compared to Hibbert.

Even Matthew, who loves her milk tea, has to say that there is a gap between geniuses.

This guy just added a time-stopping series of guild spells to Matthew when the magic sea anemone was insufficient——

"Absolute Time: Through this spell, you can lock yourself and the time in the narrow space where you are.

During the time lock period.

You are immobilized but immune to all damage.

Constant Metamagic: Spells cast instantly.

Duration: 1~3 seconds.

Note: You can actively cancel absolute time.

Available per day: 1 time. "

no doubt.

This is a very powerful life-saving spell.

The controllable invincibility time of 1 to 3 seconds is enough for members with strong reflexes to avoid many fatal injuries.

Silver Snake Richard, who has always been aloof, couldn't help but chat in the chat room for a long time after seeing this spell!

It is estimated that this spell can greatly enhance his combat effectiveness.

Others were also amazed.

It is estimated that many members thought Matthew started this guild as a joke.

But now it seems.

The more you play, the more you grow up!

This guild is actually quite useful!

And at the level of detail.

Hibbert's design is also very clever.

First of all, this spell is open to all members, but it can be reserved in advance.

The scheduled person has priority in casting spells.

Secondly, using this spell requires consuming a large amount of guild contribution points.

These two points ensure that this spell will not be abused to a certain extent.

Even better.

Ever since that spell appeared.

Matthew discovered that the various supplies in the guild's warehouse began to grow exponentially.

In order to accumulate contribution value.

All members contributed a lot of materials.

The guild warehouse looked prosperous.

Only the guild elf Xixi was crying silently.

the next period of time.

Matthew leads by example, simply traveling between the plane of the sampan, Windward Valley, and the Mark of the Dead.

He focused on the work at hand, occasionally taking time to study the alien spell of Parasitic Skull.

Matthew has done this.

The other mages naturally followed suit.

However, even though the mages stay at home, gossip from Jade Cangting will reach them through various means.

Every time after tea and dinner.

When Matthew was walking in the camp, he could always hear the discussions of the mages:

"Have you heard? There is a serious wave of refugees in Jade Cangting. Many wood elves are running to Yongsong Forest!"

"Your news is out of date. The night elves unilaterally closed the entrance to Eversong Forest. Some of the fleeing wood elves went to Strom City, and some fled to Watcher Highlands and further north..."

"What a tragedy. I thought Tyrast would be a very enlightened wood elf regent, but I didn't expect that he would turn into a tyrant!"

"Forget about being a tyrant, he is clearly a demon king - his strength is simply unfathomable. There have been more than a dozen assassinations against him in the past few days, but all the assassins died on the spot as soon as they got close. What do you think of his power? How far has it gone? Can you challenge the top legends in the league?"

Mages and elves are actually very difficult to deal with.

Especially the mages who work for the protective umbrella on the front line of the Mark of the Dead.

They usually have conflicts with the elves.

Under this premise.

Even they thought the wood elves were miserable and Tyrast was a demon king.

It can be seen how extreme what the old elf did!

certainly.

Matthew does not constrain discussions among mages.

As long as they can stay in the camp quietly and don't go out to cause trouble, they can talk about anything!

As for the fate of the wood elves.

It all depends on their own destiny.

Matthew actually wished that Terraste would do more things.

Recently, the Umbrella 2.0 plan has been implemented quickly and well because there are no wood elves coming to hold it back.

However, on the afternoon of the third day.

A somewhat subtle news reached Matthew's ears.

Hood ran over and told him:

"Ms. Ai Lan is being imprisoned by Terraste!"

"Trast's recent behavior has made people angry in Jade Cangting. According to incomplete statistics, the number of elves who have died in his hands has exceeded 2,000!"

"It's been a long time since there have been such serious casualties in Jade Cangting. Compared with the damage caused by Terrast, the dragon disaster is just like a joke!"

"He has lost almost all his supporters, and even her daughter has spoken out against him."

"No one supports his road to glory plan. It is impossible for the old elves to support it, and none of the young elves can agree with it, because they cannot banish their parents!"

"Even Shadow Leopard and Yue Yao, who were once the most loyal among the Wind Chasers, resigned collectively. The order in the city became a mess, and some mixed people got in."

"In this case, Ms. Ai Lan, who had remained silent, finally couldn't help but talk to Terraste."

"Nobody knows what the two of them talked about."

"But Ailan never showed up again in the end. Tyrani suspected that he was imprisoned by Terraste..."

"I tested it with the prophecy spell. Ai Lan's current state is indeed a bit strange. It should be that his magic power has been blocked. In Jade Cangting, only Tyrast can do this."

After hearing this, Matthew's expression immediately became serious.

It doesn't matter if Terraste messes with other people.

But Winter Moon Ai Lan is the mage of the alliance.

If he really imprisoned Ai Lan, it would be tantamount to provoking the alliance.

Could it be that in just a few days, Terraste has become so arrogant?

Matthew felt something was wrong.

But that day, he used balanced perception and found no signs of being bewitched or having his mind deceived on Tyrast.

this means.

Everything Terraste does comes from his heart!

Matthew couldn't help but bared his teeth.

The Marks of the Dead project has just gotten on the right track, and the protective umbrella is progressing in an orderly manner. Why do things keep popping up?

I thought that Terraste would be the one to stop Yao Mozi.

Unexpectedly, he himself became the biggest troublemaker!

Matthew could only lament that things are unpredictable.

"Don't worry yet. Ai Lan is a mage of the alliance. As long as Terraste has a shred of sanity, he won't do anything to her."

Matthew calmly said to Hood:

"Go to the Silver Council and report in detail what happened in the Jade Cangting. Remember, the requirement is that one of the Seven Saints or Lord Ekmund knows about the matter. Others are not qualified."

Matthew has actually made a report on this matter.

The reply from the Silver Council was similar to Matthew’s idea——

As long as Terraste can stabilize the situation.

The alliance will not intervene.

But now the nature is different.

He must report again.

Hood nodded and left in a hurry.

Immediately Matthew ordered all mages not to leave the camp.

He himself left Windward Valley in a hurry.

Matthew first went back to the cemetery, taking both the "Grail of Guilty" and the "Crown of Guilty" with him.

Then return to Jade Cangting.

Matthew was in no hurry to find Terraste.

Because his intuition told him that doing so might even put himself in danger.

He wanted to talk to Tyrani first.

Twenty minutes later.

The second floor of the Prancing Horse Hotel.

Matthew found a haggard Tyrani in Beanna's room.

Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked confused.

When I saw Matthew.

Tyrani stood up suddenly.

She held Matthew's hand excitedly and said:

"It's a devil!"

"The devil has bewitched his soul!"

However, Matthew just looked at her with a hint of pity:

"No evil spirit can deceive his soul."

"You should know."

Tyrani's face instantly turned pale.

Then he collapsed on the solid wooden bed.
