The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

"You're very perceptive."

"As expected of the top fifty humans in the "Pillar of Destiny"..."

Osedro sighed heartily.

"Pillar of Destiny?"

Matthew looked questioning.

Ocedro explains:

"The Pillar of Destiny is a totem pole extending from the mother body of the Abyss, with many names engraved on it that may pose a threat to the Abyss."

"About a year ago, we found your name at the bottom of the Pillar of Destiny. At that time, you were still ten thousand away, only a few centimeters from the surface of the abyss."

"But your growth rate is amazing. Now you have entered the top fifty. Among the humans on the continent of Iron Dor, you are the third youngest one..."

Is there such a thing in the abyss?

Matthew looked surprised:

"Who are those two guys younger than me?"

Osedro said without thinking:

"The second youngest is a mage named Hibbert. He is a student of You Ruo, the guardian of the west. He is suspected to be related to the magic goddess Ye Li."

"The first youngest is someone who was supposed to die, and that death reset her age, so putting her ahead of you."

"As far as I know, her resurrection from the dead is also related to you. Her name is Margaret..."

Matthew looked stunned.

Why are they all old acquaintances?

But what surprised Matthew even more than this was that in terms of threat index to the abyss, the resurrected Margaret actually ranked ahead of himself and Hibbert?

Didn't she die at the hands of the devil?

"But being able to reset your age after death is a bug, right?"

"It seems that the algorithm of the Abyss Matrix is ​​not that humane."

Matthew thought in his mind.

Immediately he asked Osedro:

"So most of the demons in the Abyss are aware of our existence?"

Osedro shook his head:

"No, the truth is exactly the opposite. Only those with higher status among demons are qualified to observe the contents on the Pillar of Destiny."

"And if you want to observe and record for a long time, only the Abyss Mage is qualified. This is the privilege of the Tru Demon Clan."

"As for the names on the Pillar of Destiny, the abyss mages cannot directly tell them to the lords they work for, but they can reveal these targets that may pose a threat to the abyss through insinuations."

“What’s more embarrassing is that in the history of the Abyss, many Abyss mages used this to gain additional support from their own lords. In fact, what they did was not to eliminate threats outside the Abyss, but to enrich their own pockets. "

"Over time, a considerable number of abyss lords have become prejudiced against the True Demons, and even the Pillar of Destiny is regarded as a lie fabricated by the abyss mages just to defraud more resources from the major lords. …”

Matthew nodded slightly after listening.

There are no obvious flaws in Osedro's description.

For the Tru Demon group.

Matthew also had some understanding.

As everyone knows.

The Abyssal Demons are a group hated by the Aether.

Both belong to the evil camp.

Demons can easily use spells.

But not the demons.

However, during the long process of evolution and adaptation, the demons developed spell-like abilities derived from the abyssal mother body.

Unlike spells, you need to learn them from scratch.

Spell-like abilities can spread through the bloodline, or can be shared through the conclusion of a master-servant contract.

It does fit better with the reality of the Abyss.

In the abyss.

Only one group can use magic, and they are called the Truds.

At the beginning.

Not all Trudemon are mages.

But due to the harsh environment of the abyss and the demons' natural strong adaptability.

Within a few generations, the Abyss Mage became the external name for the Tru Demons.

Because they control the scarce magic resources in the abyss, they are treated as guests by the major demon lords.

But ordinary demons have a very bad impression of the True Demons.

Many demons even hate Tru demons very much.

The specific reasons are various, including Trumo's superior social status, his possession of scarce magic resources, and so on.

But there is a theory that may better explain the hatred of the lower-level demons towards the Tru Demons.

They believe that Trumo is a demon transformed from a devil!

The key point is.

This statement is not simply based on speculation, there are many signs pointing to this.

Matthew had seen this statement in a magic book that examined the history of the Abyss and Purgatory.

The nature of the book is biased toward heroic biographies or interesting anecdotes. Most of the content is absurd and seems to be sensational. Only the part about the origin of the Tru Demon clan is well-written.

Even Matthew believed it 70% to 80%.

It is said that Baator, the original Lord of the Nine Hells, fell in love with a demon girl who came out of the abyss.

Bato was shocked when he first saw the appearance and appearance of the devil's daughter. He captured her back to purgatory, treated her with courtesy, and launched a fierce pursuit.

The devil woman had an extremely strong personality and showed an unyielding attitude.

Ba Tuo suddenly became more energetic.

During a certain period of time, He favored the devil's daughter crazily. Within half a year, He made her pregnant and gave birth to hundreds of cursed babies——

The union of the devil and the devil is definitely the most miserable newborn.

They are born to be condemned.

Most newborns cannot live past three years old.

Bato certainly has no feelings for those newborns. He threw those half-demons and half-devils next to the Demon Daughter to torture her emotions and try to make her completely surrender mentally.

However, the Demon Daughter knew it very well.

She knew that the reason she was still alive was precisely because she did not surrender.

So she resisted stubbornly.

Bato did not use brainwashing or similar spoiling spells.

He just attacked madly.

According to the normal script.

The powerful Lord of the Nine Hells will get tired of playing one day, and then it will be the end of the Demon Daughter and the hundreds of newborns.

But it happened to be at this time.

Purgatory suffered an unprecedented attack-

The Scourge Mage came.

She killed Bato and sealed him under the Bridge of All Living Things.

When the Scourge Mage broke into Bato's palace, he accidentally discovered those newborns.

So she rescued the dying Demon Daughter and sent those newborns back to the abyss with their mother.

After that.

The Scourge Wizard broke into the forbidden land of the Abyss three times in a row and negotiated with the Abyss Matrix.

The final result was that there was a group of demons who could use magic in the Abyss.

This is the origin of the Trumo.

From the timeline.

Trumo is indeed a new type of demon that has only appeared in the past few hundred years, and it coincides with the time when the Scourge Wizard beat up Baator, the Lord of the Nine Hells.

Therefore, this version of the rumor has been popular.

The book that Matthew read was written by the Alliance Wizard, most of which described the power of the Scourge Wizard from the side, and the authenticity of the story is naturally impossible to verify.

But if this story is true.

Then it is reasonable that the Trumo group is unwelcome in the Abyss.

With this in mind.

Matthew simply asked bluntly:

"The so-called Pillar of Destiny, is it only you Trumo who value it?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Osedero's face.

He instinctively explained a few words, then seemed to remember the current situation, so he said helplessly:

"Indeed."

"Including your lord Eisner?"

Matthew asked again.

Osidero nodded lightly, his expression a little embarrassed.

Matthew understood in his heart.

It seems that this pillar of destiny is a new thing in the abyss, just like the Trumo tribe, and is not accepted by the general demon community.

Osidero said that it grew out of the abyss matrix-

Maybe it was the Trumo who secretly erected a pole on the abyss matrix, and then insisted that it grew out of itself...

This kind of thing is not new.

After experiencing so many people and things.

Matthew is already very clear about a common sense-

Everyone will add his own subjective whitewashing when describing an objective fact.

It is often difficult to get the truth of things.

You must put aside all the subjective parts.

Only look at the objective facts.

Only then can it be possible to piece together the real context!

And "only the Trumo are qualified to observe and record closely", in fact, other demons don't care about that pillar at all, right?

Matthew was amused, and then asked with a straight face:

"Let's get back to business, why did Eisner go to the Jade Palace?"

"Don't worry, the Soul Cage is an independent world, it is protected by the secret barrier of my half plane, no one can know what you said to me!"

Osedro showed fear:

"I can't say it!"

"He will definitely know it!"

"I will die miserably!"

Matthew sneered:

"If you don't say it, I can make you die miserably now!"

"Do you need me to remind you? I am a necromancer."

Osedro's face turned pale when he heard this - spirits tend to turn pale, and now he is almost as pale as a ray of light!

"I have ten thousand ways to torture your soul. If you really don't want to open your mouth, I have my own way."

Matthew said ruthlessly:

"The Banshee Queen just played with you. As long as I give an order, she will let you experience more extreme pain at any time."

"In addition, I have a friend in the underworld. His name is Viscount Fan. I heard that he is best at dealing with ghosts and spirits... I am considering whether it is worth it for me to ask him to sell this face..."

Osedro was so scared that his spirit shook violently.

But he still said with pain on his face:

"I... I can't... I dare not..."

"You don't understand how terrible He is..."

Seeing that the intimidation was almost over, Matthew threw out a trump card:

"The reason why you dare not betray Eisner is that you are afraid of his means and revenge."

"But what if I can provide you with an absolutely safe path?"

Osidero shook his head:

"I don't believe it."

Matthew snorted coldly:

"I can make you a void creature!"

Osidero still shook his head:

"I don't believe it... What?!"

Immediately he showed an expression of disbelief:

"What did you say?"

"Void creature? Did I hear it right? That is the most powerful and noble race in the multiverse..."

His spirit suddenly became condensed, and his eyes became very sharp!

Matthew didn't waste time talking to him.

He directly showed his void bloodline!

"You, you, you..."

After Osedro sensed the void breath on Matthew's body, he stuttered for a long time before sighing:

"Are you actually the master of the void!?"

"No wonder your strength has improved so quickly. No wonder you were able to squeeze into the top 50 of the Pillar of Destiny in just over a year!"

Matthew smiled and said nothing.

Osedro looked at him with complicated eyes and continued to murmur:

"I've always been wary of you."

"Ever since I learned that you destroyed the Sampan Plane and were at the top of the Pillar of Destiny, I have been very careful to avoid a head-on confrontation with you."

"But I still lost, inexplicably..."

"Just now, I was still thinking unwillingly - if the battle between us takes place in the abyss, I will definitely win!"

"The environment in the material world is too friendly to you, but full of oppression to me. This is not a fair wizard duel..."

"But now it seems that my idea just now was a bit too naive. You are actually the spokesperson of the Lord of the Void, Ucrus..."

"People from the Calamity Religion actually lurked at the top of the Seven Saints Alliance... It's unbelievable!"

Matthew smiled softly.

In fact, he also felt that his successful victory took advantage of the home field advantage. For a senior mage, the inability to use the field was a trade-off disadvantage.

It's a pity that Matthew already has the Abyss Domain in his hands now.

Even if he goes to the abyss to fight Osedro again, the latter cannot be his opponent.

"Now that you know my identity, you should know that there are only two ways left for you."

Matthew said in a strong tone:

"Be mine, or be destroyed!"

Osedro's eyes became extremely hot. He first bowed deeply to Matthew, and then said sincerely:

"I am willing to be your follower!"

"As long as you are willing to guide me on the path to the void, I am willing to tell you all the facts I know without reservation!"

This guy's attitude changed so quickly that it was truly staggering.

Although Matthew had long expected that the void bloodline might be quite tempting to these people, he did not expect that its effect would be so immediate!

"Open the door to your soul without any resistance. Remember, my patience is limited."

Matthew ordered.

Osedro hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and relaxed all resistance at the soul level.

Matthew separated a ray of consciousness and successfully penetrated into Osedro's spirit body. Pictures randomly displayed in Osedro's sea of ​​memory quickly flashed before his eyes.

The next second.

A seed from the Void Brand successfully entered Osedro's spirit body——

These small seeds are the product of Matthew using the Parasitic Skull spell to fill the Branded Void.

At first he didn't pay much attention.

Later, I noticed it and studied it deliberately, only to find that I could actually distribute these small seeds to others to create a weakened Void bloodline, and then develop power for myself!

These people with weakened void blood will also enter the void world after death and become Matthew's subordinates in the future——

If he will enter the void world one day.

And under Matthew's careful care.

The tiny seeds were successfully buried, and there was a different aura in Osedro's spirit body than before.

That is similar to the power of ashes.

That's the ticket to the void!

"It turns out to be of Void bloodline!"

"I'm sublimated!"

"I'm sublimated!"

A few minutes later.

Ocedro made a sound of ecstasy.

He even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Matthew crazily!

While Matthew found it a bit funny, he also personally experienced for the first time the allure of void bloodline to many creatures!

However, compared to the bloodline given to Matthew by the Lord of the Void.

Matthew has a stronger, more direct control over the lives of these little seeds that have received his split.

He can kill the opponent at any time, thus causing the opponent to enter the void world;

You can also deprive those small seeds before executing this command to make them truly die.

This power is always in Matthew's hands.

This gives him almost absolute control over these developed "void offline".

From this point of view.

The Lord of the Void indeed gave himself a great gift.

Even if it's poisonous.

He had imagined before that there were many creatures in this world who would not reject becoming void beings.

Vasnov, the God of War, is an example.

Ordinary people may be afraid of this due to poor information.

The top enemy may have the opposite emotion.

Osedro's performance made Matthew realize that his guess was not wrong, but too conservative!

"Assuming this news is leaked secretly, I'm afraid everyone from Tianlun Palace will come to me one by one!"

"It's even possible... that even the magicians of the Alliance will be moved!"

Think of this.

Matthew also felt a sense of fear in his heart.

If that happens, it is very likely that I will be coerced into a machine that continuously delivers life to the void!

No wonder the patron saint keeps the secret to himself!

This is not only for your own safety, but may also have a wider impact.

"However, these little seeds did not appear at the beginning. They were slowly born after using the parasitic skull recommended by Ekmund."

"He didn't tell me in advance. Is it because my bloodline is more advanced? Or is the old fox still hiding something?"

Matthew had many doubts.

But now.

He must get the full truth about Eisner's actions from Ocedro.

So he concentrated his attention and fixed his eyes on Oceedro.

Before Matthew could speak.

Ocedro replied very earnestly:

"He told me that the Emerald Jade Cangting contains the opportunity to become a god."

"The reason why He went to great lengths and went out in full force is to attract everyone's attention."

"He will plunge the entire Irondor into the flames of war and make every city-state and alliance have no time to care about themselves."

"Only in this case will He have a chance to achieve his goal, which is to become the Ancient God of War!"

Speaking of which.

Osedro paused and explained carefully:

"The part about becoming the Ancient God of War was my own guess. He didn't say it clearly, but I think my guess is probably true."

"The Ancient God Restoration Plan - that's what they call this operation. Eisner started preparing for this plan a long time ago, and there are many powerful beings involved in this plan. As far as I know, they Including the evil spirit lord Omadouqi, the dragon lich Stephanie, the twin snakes of destruction Bruges, some members of the Hades Cult, an old elf man named Terraste, and an ancient man who claimed to be the emperor of the Sioux tribe. Illusionist.”

"There should be others, but that's all I know."

Ancient God's restoration plan?

Matthew frowned:

"The ancient god you are talking about refers to the God of Law?"

"They plan to become law gods in Jade Cangting? Through what channels and methods?"

He didn't know much about gods, let alone ancient gods who were extremely old.

He only vaguely knew that the God of Law was not so interested in faith, and would lose most of his humanity.

Osedro pondered:

“Do you know about Twin Heaven?”

"That is the earliest Tianlun Palace. In the era when there were many ancient gods, the ancient gods were in charge of the original paradise. The two most powerful ones were the twin gods of light and darkness, so that paradise was also It’s called twin heaven.”

"Twin Paradise fell before the Dark Ages. The real reason is unknown. It is probably related to the creation of dusk or older alien invaders.

But the core of Twin Paradise has been preserved, which is an artifact called "Paradise Lost".

According to legend, if someone can fully inspire the power of Lost Paradise, they can obtain the inheritance of the twin ancient gods, return to that era of bright stars, and become the supreme law god. "

Matthew asked:

"Eisner found the core of Twin Heaven?"

Osedro shook his head:

"Not yet. The core of the Twin Heavens was enshrined as a treasure by the troll royal family. After the fall of the troll empire, the core was hidden by the desperate troll prince in the blood-drinking mountain of the troll holy land."

"The Blood-Drinking Mountain is a holy land for trolls and an ancient refuge for the troll clan. What I learned at the beginning was that only the legendary artifact, the Crown of Sin, can open the entrance to the Blood-Drinking Mountain.

For a while, Eisner and his friends were searching for the whereabouts of Guilty Crown. Later, they had a clue, but they stopped for some reason. "

"But not long after, they discovered another way to enter the Blood Drinking Mountain, and that was to enter through the teleportation array of the Secret Light Jungle, which is also an ancient refuge!"

“This method is simple and crude, but to do this, you must completely control the Secret Light Jungle.

Eisner and others argued several times about this matter, and then they calmed down.

They have probably reached some kind of consensus, but I don't know the more specific content. "

"Oh, by the way, I know one more thing - if you want to open the place where the lost paradise is sealed, you need the blood of the direct descendant of the troll prince. This matter should have been completed. Eisner and his The temporary allies have a clear division of labor. His mission is to cause chaos in Irondor, and at the same time add several new layers of chips to his war field..."

After listening to this, Matthew's expression changed slightly——

Dracolich, Guilty Crown, Cult of Hades, Circle of the Dragon, Xenr, Tyrast, Phantom Dragon, Secret Light Jungle, Omadochi, Blooddrinking Mountain, Troll Royal Family, and Eisnar and Destruction The twin snakes of the world!

These terms floated wildly in his mind.

If what Osedro said is true.

If all this is not a coincidence.

Then the plan of Eisner and others is too crazy!

"If what you say is true, it is impossible for the Seven Saints Alliance to be unprepared for this."

That's what he said.

But Matthew actually doesn't have that much confidence in the alliance.

really.

Ocedro replied:

"The divine mages may know this, but for them, there are more important things worth fighting for."

Matthew suddenly realized:

"The lost historical world?"

Osedro nodded:

"It's the secret of time and the secret of destiny."

"The six secrets of the universe - life, death, love, phase, destiny, and time."

"Except for the Secret Treasure of Love, the other five secret treasures have been pushed back to their original positions by the natural disaster mages. They can only be opened at specific moments in a long time. Most people can't find their locations at all."

"Only the Secret Treasure of Destiny and the Secret Treasure of Time were largely swallowed up by the former God of Luck, Loa, and later the Crazy Second Hand. Therefore, Loa was aware of the hiding locations of these two secret treasures. "

"The return of the disappeared historical world to the material world this time is Loa's work. I'm not sure whether Crazy Miaozhen participated in the ancient god's restoration plan, but the return of the disappeared world was indeed promoted by him."

"He himself quietly entered that historical world."

"The mages generally believe that there is a complete secret of time and destiny hidden in that historical world. Eisner and the others also think so. If their strength allows, they may compete with the mages, but under the current situation, This is the perfect opportunity for them to avoid the Seven Saints Alliance..."

Speaking of which.

Osedro added quite objectively:

"For the Divine Mage of the Seven Saints Alliance, allowing Crazy Second Hand to obtain all the Secrets of Time and Secrets of Destiny may have devastating consequences. Everyone knows that that guy is a complete madman..."

"Eisner's idea is very simple. As long as they become ancient gods before the return of the divine mage, they will have a bargaining chip with him."

"The influence of the God of Law is far greater than that of the God of Faith in Tianlun Palace. There is no doubt about this."

"What's more, once the Twin Heavens are restarted and the Tianlun Palace falls, there will inevitably be many new vacancies for the gods."

"Eisner and the others can completely use these gods to seduce the unsteady ones in the Seven Saints Alliance."

"They believe that mages as a group certainly have internal rifts. Except for the Seven Saints, everyone can be tempted and bribed, even the Seven Saints!"

"No one can resist the temptation to become a god, not even an extremely powerful mage."

"The reason why the Seven Saints are fighting against the powerful beings in the outer plane is, firstly, to protect their own interests, and secondly, to habitually abide by the mission left by the Scourge Mage."

"But things like mission are illusory after all, and interests are the most real."

“If someone offers their greater good, the change of stance is just a matter of seconds.”

"what do you think?"

Osedro looked at Matthew rather flatteringly.

Matthew smiled:

"Are you making excuses for betraying Eisner?"

Osedro said seriously:

"I'm just telling the truth."

"If I didn't know that you have a great void bloodline, I would also tempt you with a replica of the twin heavenly thrones."

"anyway……"

"If someone is willing to use the position of the Ancient God to exchange some benefits with you, will you refuse?"

"Even if you don't want to become an ancient god yourself, what about the people around you?"

…
