The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Magic District West.

On the empty street, Matthew walked steadily towards the leaning tower.

It is said that this tower played an important role in the era of the Troll Empire.

Only magicians who have won the highest honor are eligible to occupy this leaning tower.

There is even a mysterious rumor.

It is said that the leaning tower itself is a product of magic——

"Create miracles with mortal hands."

This was also the motto that magicians of that era would follow as their creed.

And from the appearance point of view.

The Leaning Tower also has a unique temperament that becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at it.

However, Matthew obviously has no intention of appreciating this art at the moment.

"Being targeted..."

Ten minutes ago.

That thorny feeling kept stimulating his nerves.

soon.

Matthew found a deeply hidden phase hound in a dark corner not far away.

The other party's eyes were ferocious, but he did not attack Matthew. He just barked from a distance and then disappeared into the shadows.

After that.

From time to time a phase hound would appear next to him.

The eyes of these hounds are quite terrifying, as if they are possessed by evil spirits. Even if they are glanced at, the deep malice contained in their eyes will arouse chills in their hearts.

Appeared with the hounds.

There is also the mental pressure of being peeped at all the time.

At first Matthew thought the legendary archer was going to attack him.

However, he was wary for a long time.

The other party never showed any trace.

Matthew quickly reacted——

This is Li Ang's psychological tactic!

at the same time.

New news also came from the data column.

…

"Tip: You are targeted by Dawn Star Leon's prey mark!

Prey Mark: Within a range of fifteen kilometers, Li Ang can see your position and outline through all conventional buildings.

At the same time, all his locking skills can also lock on you!

When marked, the legendary archer Li Ang will cause an additional 100% normal damage and a small amount of fatal damage to you! "

…

Matthew frowned.

As a legendary archer, Li Ang has the ability to strike from super long distances.

This initiative gives him the opportunity to apply pressure from a distance.

He just needs to be a little more hostile.

Matthew will sense it and respond subconsciously. Coupled with the intensification of the prey mark, Matthew will be in a high-pressure state for a long time!

However, it took a long time.

As long as Li Ang holds back.

Sooner or later Matthew will fall into his trap——

Either you relax your vigilance and get hit by the opponent;

Or the nerves are close to collapse under long-term tension, which is also a very bad result.

Even Matthew had to admit it.

This psychological tactic combined with the phase hound's super mobility makes him a bit passive.

These hounds have great escape abilities and have near-perfect stealth capabilities.

Peggy and Abing took action one after another, trying to catch these elusive lurkers, but the best result was that they only injured the tail of a phase hound——

no way.

This is the racial talent of phase creatures. As long as they are not willing to fight, it will be difficult for others to keep them.

And as the owner of these hounds.

Li Ang showed a cunning and meticulous psychological quality.

The frequency of the appearance of these hounds is so subtle that they can always stimulate Matthew's defensive nerves without leaving any clues for counter-tracking.

"Arrogance is not without reason..."

"He is indeed a powerful character."

Matthew thought highly of his opponent.

For a profession like archer.

Under normal circumstances, the right to take the initiative is very important. If you can make a sneak attack, you will definitely make a sneak attack.

But Li Ang didn't do that.

This shows that the other party has a deep enough understanding of this battle——

He was clearly aware that his one blow might not be able to kill Matthew instantly, and if he easily exposed his position, he might be hunted down by Matthew in turn.

He gave up the right to move first.

Instead, this long-term pressure plan can give Matthew mental pressure to the greatest extent.

For now.

This strategy works.

Matthew was indeed made a little uncomfortable.

in the process of being tracked.

He also tried selling flaws——

for example.

Matthew directly asked Peggy and A Bing to leave him and pretended to search for something.

And I walked around on the street for a long time.

But even so.

Li Ang still didn't take action.

He was not moved by Matthew's flaw and still stuck to his hunting rhythm.

After confirming this.

Matthew quickly adjusted his mentality, and the remaining anger disappeared.

The reason is also very simple.

The opponent is strong enough and he must maintain maximum composure.

"This Li Ang appears to be arrogant on the surface, but his actual combat performance is extremely cautious and careful. This shows that the arrogance and arrogance he displays are just a carefully maintained personality."

"The purpose is to make people become careless and think that the opponent they are facing is a guy who has his eyes higher than his head. In fact, this is not the case."

"This guy is as meticulous as a hair, good at gaming, and full of determination. No wonder he can become a rare legendary archer..."

Matthew appreciated Li Ang even more.

However, appreciation is appreciation.

The two sides are enemies after all. After several failed fishing attempts, Matthew decisively adopted another strategy——

That is to run away directly!

That's right.

In this stalemate situation where the other party has the initiative, it is very difficult to passively counterattack in the face of long-term pressure.

Limited by attack distance and hiding methods.

The legendary mage is actually vaguely restrained by the legendary archer.

But the other way around.

As long as Matthew doesn't have the murderous intention.

He can definitely use many ways to get rid of the other party——

Hiding oneself will limit mobility!

But Matthew had no such concerns.

He swaggered open three random doors on the street and walked in without taking any protective measures.

Then he started flying for a while.

Flying towards the Great Leaning Tower at an extremely fast speed.

"Why don't you take action yet?"

"Then I'll really leave..."

Feeling the vague murderous intention behind him, a mocking smile appeared on Matthew's face.

He knew that Li Ang was looking at him with all his attention.

So he turned around and made a very obscene gesture, and then walked away from the center of the street in a swagger.

But even so.

Li Ang still didn't take action.

Matthew walked half the street, and the murderous intention behind him gradually faded away.

But he didn't relax.

On the one hand, it is very likely that the opponent has withdrawn the prey mark on him to paralyze himself, and may make a sneak attack at any time.

on the other hand.

It was because a group of tall figures suddenly appeared on the other side of the street.

The faces of these figures were familiar.

It was surprisingly the trolls who had just met in the morning.

Matthew speculated on their direction, and his face gradually became weird. They seemed to be heading west too?

"See you again, Mr. Matthew?"

Anne Salvins came over to say hello with a smile on her face.

obviously.

She wasn't surprised by her encounter with Matthew.

Matthew went up to say hello naturally.

But at this time.

A sharp whistling sound exploded in his ears——

Two bright red dots appeared in his perception.

One of them was within earshot.

The other one is on a three-story building two streets away on his right!

It’s Dawn Star Li Ang!

And his dimensional gravity arrow!

"finally come!"

that moment.

Matthew's whole body was stiff and his nerves were extremely tense——

The cunning archer detonated the "prey mark" at that moment, causing the target to freeze slightly.

Although Matthew's strength was not low and he had divine protection, he didn't stay stiff for long.

But for dimensional gravity arrows.

This moment of stiffness is fatal!

"no solution anymore……"

Matthew was planning to use the "Undead Substitute" again to avoid damage. He didn't dare to gamble with his "immortal body". In theory, it was possible for a gravity arrow to instantly kill a life in the ghost state!

However, a surprising scene occurred.

At the critical moment.

Troll Princess Anne suddenly stepped forward and took out the battle ax in her hand, wanting to catch the arrow for Matthew.

But there is someone faster than her!

Whoosh!

A yellow light flashed as fast as dodge, followed by a slight explosion, but a tall figure stood up and blocked Matthew and Annie.

He held a strange dagger in his hand. The dagger cut off the dimensional gravity arrow in an instant!

"snort!"

The cold snort of the legendary archer could faintly be heard in Matthew's ears.

The next second.

The arrowhead of the gravity arrow rotated violently and separated from the broken arrow body. The remaining part rotated at high speed and circled away towards Matthew.

Snapped!

A big hand with long blue-gray hair clapped over from the side.

Just once.

He grabbed the arrowhead with his bare hands——

boom!

A slight muffled sound exploded.

The explosion of the gravity arrow caused slight fluctuations in the nearby space, but the big blue-gray hand was unscathed!

Matthew looked up in shock.

The owner of that big slate-gray hand and that weird dagger were actually the same person——

"Holiday! You are so good!"

Anne praised cheerfully.

An ugly smile appeared on Holiday's face:

"hey-hey……"

"This is what I should do. No one can hurt you under my eyes, my princess."

Then he glanced at Matthew coldly:

"I'm not saving you, Necromancer."

"But if you care about this kindness, please return Princess Richie's soul to us..."

Speaking of which.

He paused suddenly, his tone a little unnatural:

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Matthew smiled, knowing that he had just looked a little too hard.

no way.

It was mainly Troll Warrior Holiday's superb interception skills that won Matthew's respect and recognition.

Knowing the smallest details is the basic skill of every mage.

This detail is enough to prove that Holiday is somewhat real.

"I'm just surprised by what you did just now."

"I was already prepared to use a substitute spell to avoid the damage of that arrow."

Matthew answered truthfully.

He did not hide his appreciation for Holiday, but also secretly reminded him that even without him, the arrow could not do anything to him.

obviously.

The troll warrior's thoughts were not that deep. He did not figure out the hidden meaning of the second sentence at all. Instead, he was somewhat proud of the praise of the first sentence:

"It's good to know that I'm great!"

"Hmph..."

"The strongest life hunter in Kuinan Forest is no joke!"

Matthew smiled.

The trolls seem to be quite simple-minded.

He likes to deal with this kind of people. He is much better than those old foxes like Sener and Terraste!

At this moment.

There was once again a slight movement in the authority of the Lord of the Tauren!

…

"Tip: You have triggered the new promotion route of "Authority-Tauren Lord"!

Your mission "More Aggression" adds a new invadeable target "Death Hunter Holiday"!

If you can take Holiday under your wing and make him loyal to you wholeheartedly, you will gain three times the benefits of the other two targets that can be invaded.

also.

You will get a random new domain ability (Tauren)! "

…

Good guy.

This time, Ricky, Annie, and Holiday have all become Matthew's potential targets!

"As expected of a tauren, he has no moral integrity."

Matthew was secretly glad.

Fortunately, we don't have to take Holiday into the harem, otherwise this task would really be impossible!

For now.

Compared to bringing Ricky and Annie into the harem at the same time, subduing Holiday seems to be a better choice.

Just think of this.

Matthew's eyes looked at Holiday with a hint of covetousness.

Holiday was so frightened by him that he subconsciously took half a step back, and then angrily yelled:

"Hey, Necromancer, what are you doing?!"

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, Annie stood up at this time. She pointed to the three-story building and asked:

"That's an archer, right? Why did he attack you?"

Matthew explains:

"That's Dawn Star Li Ang. He is with the legendary summoner Little Ingram."

"I had no conflict with them at first, but when my companions and I first arrived outside the city, they ambushed us, and we had a feud from then on."

"This group of people is very domineering. Little Ingram allowed the elemental beings to occupy half of the magic area, and Li Ang has been secretly tracking me..."

An angry look immediately appeared on Anne's face:

"Is it the summoner with the elemental army and the black dragon army?"

"Were you also ambushed by them?"

Matthew nodded slightly.

"So are we!"

Anne made no secret of her hostility towards young Ingram and his party:

"We ran into them as soon as we arrived in the city. It was obvious that they had the idea of ​​ambush us, but they gave up in the end because of our large numbers."

"They asked us several questions, but after we refused to answer, they left with a few harsh words."

"This morning, when we went to the Magic Zone, we also met with an elemental elder. The other party directly threatened us that if we did not withdraw from the Magic Zone, they would start a war with us. Out of caution, we temporarily withdrew. …”

Matthew asked:

"So you haven't met little Ingram himself today, or Ordesia, the mother of the black dragon?"

Annie shook her head:

"It's just because we didn't see the two of them that we didn't dare to take action rashly. Who knows where they are hiding and what bad intentions they have?"

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

Don't look at him now standing with the trolls chatting and laughing happily.

But his wariness against the trolls has not diminished at all——

Matthew noticed it when they first met.

Anne was not surprised to find herself in this place.

This shows that the other party is very likely to be tracking you.

After all.

They still came for Ricky.

Matthew immediately wanted to leave.

But Anne obviously didn't want to let him go just like that. She smiled and said:

"Since we have all suffered from little Ingram, how about we temporarily unite and fight against them together?"

"Put the matter of Ricky aside for now. I just need to confirm that she is still alive - I don't even need you to show it. As long as I stand next to you, I can feel her current state."

"In order to show my sincerity in cooperation, I will take you to a safe house in the city now——

It will get dark soon.

Although the night in the ancient city of Krafa is short, only four hours, every night, the resentful spirits incarnated by our ancestors will become extremely boiling, and they will attack all living creatures regardless of friend or foe.

If there is no safe place to live.

The nights are going to be very difficult…”

Safe house?

Hearing this word, Matthew couldn't help but look strange.

Anne looked confident:

"You should know that this city was built by the Troll Empire. Although there are big gaps in our inheritance, the Salvins family still holds a lot of secret information that you foreigners cannot know."

"After all, all of us know very well that there is only one purpose for coming here, and that is to find the legendary artifact Lost Paradise!"

"And the Lost Paradise has been preserved in the hands of our troll family for a long time in the world."

"Cooperating with us is a very beneficial thing for you."

"If you are still hesitating, I can tell you the location of the safe house now..."

As she spoke, her eyes moved forward involuntarily.

Matthew interrupted immediately:

"The safe house you mentioned, isn't it also on the thirteenth floor underground of the Great Tilted Tower?"

Annie was shocked:

"How did you know?"

Matthew smiled slightly:

"It seems that the Cybertron's mechanics also like to bet on multiple positions."

"Let's go, let's go to the safe house together."

Annie's eyes flashed with a strange color, and finally nodded.

The group left the main road.

Walked towards the Great Tilted Tower.

As for Dawn Star Leon, after the arrow just failed, the opponent's breath was exposed, and he moved immediately.

Matthew was not sure whether the opponent would still follow him stubbornly.

But at night.

It would be very unsafe to act alone.

What's more, Matthew was surrounded by trolls and other companions who were coming.

He actually looked forward to Leon taking risks again.

As long as he dared to expose his breath again.

Matthew, who had arranged the venue in advance, would let the other party learn the power of the mage.

So on the way to the Great Tilted Tower.

Matthew was moving forward while chatting with Annie.

But Peggy and A Bing had already taken his orders and started to act separately -

With the efforts of the two legendary undead.

Rats, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, poison frogs, belly snakes, wasps, scorpions...

A large number of poisonous creatures were scattered on several streets near the Great Tilted Tower.

In addition.

There were mushrooms that Matthew had begged from Dudley -

These mushrooms have the ability to be invisible and can move in a small range within a specific area.

They can play a role similar to that of a phase hound.

The important thing is.

These mushrooms have a large number of spores.

As long as Leon is infected.

Matthew, who has the spore field, can chase him to the ends of the earth!

At that time, the positions of both parties will be reversed.

Matthew will let him understand what the cruelty of the necromancer is!

Not long after.

They arrived outside the Great Tilted Tower.

This tower, which is revered by the trolls as the "Magic Tower" or "Miracle Tower", looks very tilted from the outside, but it gives people a square and quite straight feeling after walking in.

Under the protection of some mysterious power.

The Magic Tower is well preserved. After entering the hall, Matthew lit a few magic fires and immediately gained a large bright view.

What surprised him was that.

His companions did not finish paddling in advance as he expected and waited for his arrival here.

In addition.

He did not sense Sener's breath.

Matthew glanced outside. It was almost dusk and it would be night in half an hour at most. They would not encounter any accidents, right?

But then he thought.

The old foxes only paddled when fighting, but their ability to escape was probably more exquisite than one another. The only thing they needed to worry about was the upright orc swordsman Claire.

With the minds of others, I am afraid that even if Matthew had an accident, they would not have any accidents!

Between thoughts.

He and Annie found the elevator hidden in the northeast corner of the lobby on the first floor of the Magic Tower.

After starting the elevator.

Amidst the roar of machinery, the elevator slowly sank into the dark underground -

The underground space of the Magic Tower seemed quite complicated.

But the elevator could only lead to three underground platforms, namely the eighth, thirteenth and twenty-ninth underground floors.

The rest of the floors were sealed.

Some floors even had signs similar to heavy firepower.

Considering that this was the territory of the Odd Mechanic.

Matthew suddenly had some concerns about the nature of the "safe house".

"If it was an odd mechanic, it seemed reasonable to bury some bombs under the safe house?"

"Could it be that only bombs could make them feel safe?"

The elevator descended very slowly.

Matthew simply chatted with Annie about the history of the Twin Heavens.

"Someone told me that the Twin Heavens were destroyed in the early days of the Age of Enlightenment."

"There is another saying that the Twin Heavens were destroyed in the Dark Ages."

"Which one is correct?"

Annie answered readily:

"In fact, both are correct."

"There were two periods in the history of Eindor when the Twin Heavens existed, and they both symbolized the supreme power of the heavens."

"According to the oral tradition of the Salvens family, the original Twin Heavens were created by the twin ancient gods of light and darkness in the so-called Dark Ages."

"Of course, that was the Dark Ages for you humans. For the trolls, that was the most beautiful "primitive age."

"We believe that the light and dark ancient gods who created the Twin Heavens in the primordial age are actually two sides of the same coin of the god Pul. In order to separate the contradictions and conflicts within himself, the great god Pul split into the light and dark ancient gods, and then led the original native creations of Eindor to fight fiercely against the outer gods headed by the dusk creations. "

"The result of the struggle was a tragic victory for the god Pul. Some of the dusk creatures were driven away, some were sealed, and most of the evil gods from outside the domain were killed. "

"But in that long war, the god Pul was seriously injured, and the Twin Heavens were also knocked down to dust. As a high-energy, high-dimensional world formed in the early days of the Eindo universe, the Twin Heavens separated into four most important parts when they fell, namely -

Original Heaven;

Rootless River;

Lost Paradise;

And the High-Dimensional Shadow."

Speaking of this.

Annie paused and continued to explain:

"Among them, the Original Heaven inherited the outline of the Twin Heavens. It drifted into the astral world and was obtained by the minions of the outer gods."

"The Rootless River captured a considerable amount of high-dimensional matter and eventually became an extremely transcendent secret realm in the universe."

"The High-Dimensional Shadow made the Twin Heavens reversely projected in a higher dimension. It was lost under the Bridge of All Beings and was not discovered for a long time.

It was discovered by the gods headed by the sun god Gerard in the early days of the Enlightenment.

Gerald used the High-Dimensional Shadow as a blueprint and built the current Tianlun Palace with other gods."

"Since then, the severely injured god Pul felt When he felt powerless to fight alone, he began to support all living things on earth, including trolls, elves, humans and other species that are still active on this continent. "

"As the most favored race by the gods, the trolls deserved to get Paradise Lost."

"Unfortunately, the rise and fall of the universe is an eternal law. The gods eventually fell, the empire also fell apart, and Paradise Lost returned to this ancient city under the seal of the ancestors."

"After that, it was the Enlightenment Age in human history."

"In that era, the Salvens family had already declined, and there were not many records left by the ancestors. We only know that that era was still very chaotic."

"Original Paradise The ancient gods left over from the period, the gods of faith who came out of the Carmela Fortress one after another, the dusk creations that returned, the dark ancient gods and the evil gods from outside the domain, they fought hard on this continent. "

"At a certain period, the evil gods from outside the domain gained the upper hand. They used the original heaven that drifted in the new world to build a new twin heaven, and once seized the twin heaven as the supreme function of the heaven. "

"Then there were more chaos, the earth, the sky and the sea, there was blood everywhere, the ancient gods fell one after another, and the outer gods who were advancing triumphantly in the early stage were also severely damaged in an unexpected incident. "

"After that, the twin heavens fell completely and entered the astral world. , forming the ruins of the Twin Heavens that you can see now. "

"It was also in those battles that the familiar names of the Tianlun Palace today stood at the pinnacle of the era-

Magic Goddess Ye Li;

Sun God Gerard;

The first generation of war god and the second generation of war god Vasnov;

The second destruction of the Twin Heavens marked the rise of the Tianlun Palace.

For a long time.

This continent was dominated by the belief in God.

But as I said before.

The rise and fall of the universe is an eternal law.

We all know.

The Tianlun Palace is about to be destroyed.

And the Lost Paradise, which carries the most high-dimensional power of the Twin Heavens, has become so important..."

Speaking of this.

Annie suddenly raised her voice:

"If you get the Lost Paradise, what would you do with it?"

Matthew didn't have time to answer.

The thirteenth floor underground arrived.

The elevator door suddenly opened-

A huge, sticky tongue suddenly licked from the depths of darkness!

The tongue was so huge.

It almost filled the entire elevator box in an instant!

...
