The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

The inheritance has been started, there is no reason to interrupt it.

Matthew chose to continue.

Then more information flooded into his mind.

He stood in front of the stone tablet, his eyes closed tightly, and large beads of sweat secreted on his forehead.

Pictures in black and white flashed before Matthew's eyes like a fleeting glance.

A few breaths.

Not only did he successfully receive the inheritance of the Balance Messenger, but he also learned part of the story of King Mingtan, the first Balance Messenger of the Sioux tribe.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes.

The tadpole text on the stone tablet began to twist quickly, and soon "evaporated" out of thin air.

The same goes for the dozens of patterns on the back of the stone tablet.

Matthew turned around and asked in a solemn voice:

"When you came in, did you see anything on the tablets and stones?"

Bobo shook his head silently.

Lumiere looked at the stone tablet curiously:

"Isn't it always blank here?"

Matthew nodded secretly in his mind.

This proves that his guess about the stone tablet is correct - only those with the potential to become a messenger of equilibrium will see the tadpole text and those patterns.

This requires at least two conditions:

First, and crucially, the imprint of the Sioux;

Second, the person who touches the stone tablet must possess at least two legendary ways, or two particularly powerful powers.

This should be a necessary condition to stimulate the inheritance of the Balance Messenger.

Once this threshold is passed, it becomes very easy to accept the inheritance. For example, Matthew does not understand the content of those tadpole essays at all, but he still easily understands the information poured into his mind.

It is estimated that this is the person who left the inheritance, considering that the birth of the Balance Messenger is not easy.

So it opens the door to convenience.

Matthew, who traveled all the way to the south and suffered a lot of hardships, finally got what he wanted.

But there was still confusion in his brows.

…

"Tip: You have received the inheritance of "Special Profession: Messenger of Balance". You can choose between the following two methods to add the abilities of the Messenger of Balance to your own ability list——

1. Advance (open a special path: balance of all things)

2. Part-time job (face XP penalty)"

…

According to Matthew's previous thoughts, there is a high probability that he will choose to advance directly.

After all, the Balance Messenger has a special path, which means that future achievements are limitless.

However, after taking stock of the inherited information.

Matthew hesitated.

He did not make an impulsive decision, but closed his eyes and began to recall the origin of the profession of Balance Messenger.

If you want to sort this out clearly, you must start with King Mingtan.

According to the information stored in the stone tablet, King Mingtan is the first messenger of balance in the world.

In that unknown era.

After a terrible disaster swept across the Eastern Continent, King Mingtan, who had already had a premonition, led the people on twelve large ships with ocean-going capabilities, left their homeland, and sought safe shelter all the way west.

In the process of crossing the endless ocean, King Mingtan's fleet encountered two major difficulties.

The first difficulty occurs in the southeastern part of the Endless Ocean.

There is a trench on the sea floor that leads directly to the abyss. In the trench lives a sea monster that can destroy the world. Legend has it that it is also a member of the "Twilight Creation".

When King Mingtan's fleet passed above the trench, it was attacked by the sea monster. The latter swallowed up the leading ship in one bite.

The sea monster is very huge, almost as wide as the land, and its length is endless.

At that time, everyone on the boat was shocked, but King Mingtan stepped forward.

He left the building alone, used flying skills to fly to the belly of the sea monster, and asked to negotiate with it.

The sea monster admired King Mingtan's courage and expressed his willingness to give him a chance.

But the sea monster then said that the negotiation location cannot be at sea, but must be at the bottom of the sea.

So King Mingtan followed the sea monster to the bottom of the sea.

The negotiation lasted about 72 hours. At that time, the sea was cloudy and stormy, and the scene was very scary. Several unsteady captains secretly drove away the ship.

When King Mingtan finished negotiating with the sea monster and returned to the sea, he found that there were only five ships waiting for him.

He didn't get angry, he just sighed and said:

"Those who stayed there can still survive, but how can those who left quietly survive?"

as expected.

When everyone cheered to welcome King Mingtan to reboard the ship, and the fleet successfully sailed through the rainy sea, they soon saw the wreckage left by the ships that escaped early.

King Mingtan told the others.

The people on these ships were also eaten by sea monsters like the original ship.

Fortunately, he has negotiated well with the sea monster, and the other party will no longer embarrass the remaining people.

The rest of the crew immediately cheered.

Some people are also curious about the specific content of the negotiation between King Mingtan and the sea monster, and what method King Mingtan used to dispel the idea of ​​the sea monster devouring them.

It's a pity that King Mingtan has always been tight-lipped about this topic.

Until his death, no third person learned of the contents of that negotiation.

After that, the fleet headed west. A few months later, they arrived at the west of the Endless Ocean. According to subsequent estimates, it was actually less than three days' voyage from the Manya Peninsula belonging to the Iron Dor continent.

Here, King Mingtan’s fleet encountered a second very difficult problem——

A plague broke out on the ship.

This plague came very strangely, and everyone's symptoms were different. King Mingtan discovered that the stronger the Sioux people, the more severe the plague was.

Especially the senior professionals headed by Taoist priests, each one became more sick than the last.

None of the herbs and spells they had at their disposal had any effect on this.

The Sioux began to die in large numbers.

Even though King Mingtan tried hard to solve the problem, he was unable to do anything, and he soon became ill.

Fortunately, there were still some healthy people on the boat. They continued to sail under the order of King Mingtan, and finally arrived at the Manya Peninsula after a while.

The Sioux fleet docked here for nearly half a year.

The people who died from the plague eventually accounted for two-thirds of the population on the ship, especially the Taoist priests who almost died.

This is also the fundamental reason why this special profession has gradually lost its inheritance.

During this period, in order to save themselves, the Sioux people began to have frequent contact with the local indigenous people, and the two sides launched a large number of trade exchanges.

Soon after, King Mingtan, who was seriously ill, sent someone to learn some voodoo techniques from the indigenous shaman.

Under the strong advice of the shaman, King Mingtan became a living doctor and simply fed a powerful voodoo to the remaining patients, including himself.

As a result, something magical happened. After voodoo entered the body, the symptoms of the plague were greatly alleviated. Although it was not completely eradicated, it could at least keep people alive.

King Mingtan was very emotional at that time. If he could arrive at the Manya Peninsula earlier, perhaps more people's lives could be saved.

It's a pity that fate has been set and no one can change it.

King Mingtan, who barely managed to save a small life, began to vigorously study the plague on his body.

He is a true genius. When he was in the Su Kingdom, he was the leader of the Great Wall Mage Group. He was rewarded for his merits in resisting the devil.

When he arrived at the Manya Peninsula, his professional levels were a LV16 Great Wall Mage and a LV4 Taoist Priest, which was half a legend.

Soon, his research had preliminary results.

King Mingtan's research showed that the plague itself was just a trigger. The large number of Sioux people on board died essentially because of the differences in the laws and realms of existence between the east and west continents.

Why do Taoist priests die so often?

Because most of these Su Taoist priests master the power of two fields at the same time, driving wind, rain, thunder and lightning and summoning zombie imps, this is actually the content of the same field in the Eastern Continent, and it doesn't matter who comes to learn it.

But the territory of the Western Continent has long been divided up by the gods. Unauthorized intervention in different areas will inevitably lead to the backlash of the law. In comparison, the plague is just a symptom amplifier. What killed a large number of Sioux people was actually their power.

The kind of voodoo given by the indigenous shaman just has the effect of weakening and debilitating, so the symptoms can be greatly relieved.

This discovery made King Mingtan extremely frustrated. He knew that the gods did not even take the initiative. This was the reaction of the realm that was deeply imprinted by them.

This means that the Western Continent was not an ideal place of refuge for the ancestors of the East.

However, they have no choice. It is difficult to return to their homeland, so they can only choose to adapt.

The next inheritance information is a bit vague.

Matthew only knew that King Mingtan spent a long time studying the situation in the Western Continent after leaving the Manya Peninsula. In the end, he opened up the Balanced Domain out of thin air based on an artifact he brought from the Eastern Continent. Use this to reconcile the opposing forces of several attributes within your body.

He succeeded, and with it he entered the realm of legend.

But he also failed, because even King Mingtan himself had to rely on that artifact to maintain a long-term balance.

If the Balance Messengers of the past want to advance further in this profession, they must sign a contract with that artifact.

Among the inheritance information Matthew obtained, there were also annotations on the artifact from the Balance Messengers of the past generations.

From their attitude towards the artifact, it is not difficult to see that this thing is not reliable at all!

For example, the second generation of the Balance Messenger, also the fourth son of King Mingtan, left an annotation like this:

"The weapons of heaven are elusive, and the ways of heaven are impenetrable."

This is said rather euphemistically.

By the seventh generation of the Balance Messenger, the painting style gradually began to deviate:

"The legendary way of the Balance Messenger is to catch weapon spirits everywhere, right? You never know where it will hide in the next second. At this time, as long as you think of the scene when you signed the contract with it, you will want to slap yourself in the face. .”

When the previous generation of Balance Messenger came to an end, when the inheritance was about to be cut off, the annotation he left was as follows:

"The stupid weapon spirit neglects its duties every day, and it can't fulfill its original promise at all!

The idea of ​​balance is wrong from the beginning. All things are only biased. How can there be any theory of balance?

Unless you can cut into the two most primitive forces from the beginning.

But is this something a mortal can do?

It's too difficult, it's uneven, and whoever loves it will go! "

…

It can be seen that the profession of Balance Messenger is full of uncertainties. It is a brand-new profession created by King Mingtan in order to save himself.

Although it can get into the realm of balance, it doesn't have to be an extra step for Matthew.

Because he already has half his foot in the realm of equilibrium.

"King Mingtan and the others are also pitiful. Judging from the time point, when they arrived at the Manya Peninsula, the promotion of Tianlun Palace had not yet happened! The laws of the domain will subconsciously try to please the gods, which is why the plague was fueled. "

"If they had arrived after Tianlun Palace ascended to the palace, things might have been different. The areas that had been cleansed by the natural disaster mage would not take the initiative to confront them!"

"According to the description in the inheritance, the Taoist profession is mainly to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and call zombies and imps. This is equivalent to the combination of the evocation mage and the necromancer. In this era, these two fields do not conflict. Could it be that Tianlun Palace Before Shengque, had the gods at that time already subdivided their domains to such an extent that the undead and the evocations, which both belonged to the magic domain, would fight against each other?"

Matthew sighed softly, feeling a little incredible.

For him, there is too much useful information hidden in this inheritance, and this information may even be more valuable than the profession of Balance Messenger.

But it also left him with a lot of doubts.

How did King Mingtan negotiate with the sea monster who was a creature of dusk?

Is the content of the negotiation related to the strange ritual of the Sioux walking into the sea before death?

Did Taoist priests really die in large numbers because of power conflicts?

What is the artifact that King Mingtan used to open up the realm of balance?

Where does it fall now?

These are all things that interest Matthew very much.

However, he also knows very well that not every question in the world can be answered. Many mysteries are destined to disappear in the fog of history. Being too persistent can easily kill yourself.

Most importantly, he now has to make a choice.

"My path has been very clear, nature and immortality. This is a path that cannot be changed."

"I don't need too powerful an advancement. What I need more is stability. Most of the random factors in the advancement process must be eliminated!"

"I need a balanced force to check and balance the two avenues. Even my system name has been garbled by the two big brothers Immortal and Natural. When they grow stronger, there is no guarantee that they will not have a fight in my body, so I need this You have a lot of power, but at the same time, you don’t have to pay too much for the profession of Balance Envoy.”

After figuring out what he needed, Matthew's thinking became extremely clear.

…

"Tip: You chose "Part-time Job", you consumed a lot of XP, and you obtained "Balance Envoy LV1" (second career)!

Warning: When upgrading the second profession "Balancer", you will face a part-time penalty, which means you need to consume an additional 50% of XP!

You gain the Bringer of Balance class feature: Supreme Harmony.

Supreme Harmony: You can harmonize several forces in your body together so that they are in a balanced and stable state without conflict;

At the same time, you also gain the ability to "concile spells."

Reconciling Spells: Through a spell action (cannot be omitted), you can choose two spells or abilities belonging to different fields from the list of abilities you have at your disposal to reconcile.

After the attunement is completed, you can upgrade one of the spells or abilities to an "enhanced spell (ability)", which will have a more powerful effect when released.

The other spell or ability being attuned automatically goes on cooldown.

Note 1: Different spells will have different strengthening effects after being coordinated with each other.

Note 2: The number of "Attune Spells" you can currently use per day is 2 times. "

…

After taking advantage of Supreme Harmony, Matthew could clearly feel that the power in his body had become more balanced.

Above the Tai Chi symbol, the path of balance that was originally a dotted line has become a solid line.

Matthew could see many green and gray light spots pouring into the balance from nature and immortality, eventually mixing into dark green light spots.

However, the dark green light spots did not stay in the equilibrium for long, they were quickly dispersed into nature and immortality.

Soon, the dark green light spots that entered the realm of life and death were split into gray and green again, and each expelled each other and returned to their own territory.

So back and forth.

Although the number of light points on the three avenues is more or less, they also form a dynamic balance!

The hidden danger that had been buried in my heart was finally alleviated.

This made Matthew very happy.

What he is more interested in is the ability of spell reconciliation, which can actually harmonize abilities belonging to different fields together, thereby making one of them exert greater power.

The key is that different permutations and combinations can produce different strengthening effects.

This is very interesting.

Matthew couldn't help but adjust one on the spot.

This ability requires a standard spell action and lasts approximately five seconds.

After blending is complete.

One of the two abilities chosen by Matthew is available, and the other has entered the cooling time.

…

"Tip: You used spell reconciliation, and the reconciliation targets are "Wild Form (Raven)" and "Rot Sac Mastery";

After the reconciliation is completed, "Wild Form (Raven)" is strengthened into "Wild Form (Corrupted Raven)".

It is expected that the size of the raven you incarnate will increase slightly, the perception and agility will be +1, and it will have a powerful ability to infect the Corruption Sac! "

…

"This is fun!"

If there wasn't a limit on the number of times, Matthew would probably play with it every day!

The most interesting thing about this ability is that as your strength improves, you will gain more and more abilities, and the results of permutations and combinations will also increase dramatically.

If Lumiere and Bobo weren't still watching.

He wished he could transform into a raven and fly around now!

It took a lot of effort.

Matthew calmed down.

In addition to professional characteristics, the level 1 Balance Messenger also brings him a new ability.

…

"Balanced Perception: No matter where you go, you can sense the local energy field for a round. If there is an imbalance, you will immediately catch it.

You can use this ability to track elements, and you can also use it as a basis for rearranging and repairing energy fields. "

…

This is also a pretty useful auxiliary ability.

Energy fields are usually something that only elemental creatures can perceive keenly.

It is mainly composed of the four elements and spiritual and other attributes.

The lack of some kind of energy usually represents an abnormality in the energy field.

Certain powerful monsters will also change the local energy field accordingly when passing by, so they are very suitable for tracking enemies.

As for rearranging the energy field, Matthew doesn't have that ability yet, but if he encounters tinkering work in the future, he can really give it a try.

"The continuous expansion of the Mark of the Dead may be related to the imbalance of the energy field."

Matthew's mind worked quickly and he immediately found a use for this ability.

And it’s very useful!

So far.

The LV1 Balance Messenger is equivalent to bringing a passive professional characteristic and two practical or interesting abilities to Matthew.

And what he paid was only part of the XP!

"The first-level Balance Messenger is enough for me now, and then it's time to advance to Night of the Dead. If the Balance Messenger can show a certain stability in the future, it can also prove that this road is more promising. If so, it’s not impossible to re-develop the second career into the main career.”

Matthew thought to himself secretly.

This is certainly not free, as it will cost you a lot of XP.

But what Matthew lacks most is XP!

…

"I'm ready, let's go!"

After completing his part-time job, Matthew turned around without hesitation.

He didn't even glance at the tomb passage vaguely revealed in the depths of the square.

Bobo said in shock:

"Are you done now? It's too soon!"

Matthew was speechless:

"Do you like taking your time?"

Bobo hesitated and said:

"But aren't you here to advance? This is too easy!"

"Is it easy?"

Matthew smiled:

"You just happened to see the joy I felt when I harvested the fruits, but you never saw the hardships I had when I weathered the wind and rain."

Matthew is really not exaggerating.

In order to obtain the inheritance of the Balance Messenger, he indeed paid a lot.

Just because of some legends, he did not hesitate to travel through most of the southern land, from the plague-ridden Zeshui City all the way through the rain forest full of difficulties.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died on the way.

On Junliu Island, he withstood the charm from the bottom of the sea. If his resistance was slightly lower, he would walk into the sea like those old Sioux people and embrace the unknown destiny.

In the end, even if he got the news about the Way of Balance, he might suffer a big loss from Yu Kama.

As long as Yu Yan pointed out a dead end to him, or said that he had not bumped into Bobo, and did not leave a good impression on Yu Yan, the latter might even charge him a large sum of money, or let Matthew do it. A thing of equal value.

The sum of these experiences is actually far beyond the effort required for normal advancement.

Although he only got a part-time job in the end, Matthew did not feel it was not worth it.

This is how life is. After hard work, he will be satisfied if he gains something, no matter how big or small the gain is.

"I mean, we're just going to leave like this? Don't we go inside to take a look?"

Bobo reluctantly looked back at the entrance of the undersea tomb.

Matthew's voice came from the front:

"I told you I'm not a grave robber."

With that said, he walked straight out of the secret door.

"But, but, if you don't need to blow up something, just leave..."

Bobo is still looking back three times.

Suddenly a big hand stretched out from the secret door and forcibly pulled her out!

The stubborn artificer finally had no choice but to compromise.

The road out of the bottom of the lake was also extremely smooth.

They didn't encounter any monsters along the way and returned to the shore.

"We are so lucky!"

Lumiere habitually jumped on the shore——

This is the sequelae of Frogman's potion. His jumping ability is astonishing. He can jump up to four or five meters high in a casual jump.

"It's really strange that we didn't even hit a single monster. There are usually so many plesiosaurs on the banks of Dalong Lake!"

However, soon, Lumiere, who was jumping in the air, changed his color:

"Let's go!"

Matthew noticed that the direction he was looking was where the Scourge Cult and the Wind Sand Thieves were fighting!

"Did someone come over? The Calamity Cult or the Thieves Group?"

Matthew asked cautiously.

"No, they are all densely packed with monsters over there! Oh my god, run quickly, there are all corpses over there! The two groups of people just now were not persuaded by us, they were persuaded by the monsters in the lake!"

Lumiere couldn't help shouting.

On the shore at this moment, several monsters were already surrounding them from that direction.

Without saying a word, Matthew grabbed Bobo's hand and ran away.

Lumiere hurriedly followed.

The group of people escaped into the rain forest. After a while, several plesiosaurs came over.

They looked at the dense rain forest and howled a few times. They wanted to move forward, but seemed to be holding back because they were afraid of something.

They gradually retreated and finally disappeared by the lake.

…

after one day.

Edge of Bitterwater Swamp.

The figures of the three people slowly emerged.

"What do you think happened to those two groups of people yesterday?"

Lumière asked Matthew the question that he had been pondering all night but still had no result:

"Could it be that you secretly posted a bounty mission on Dalong Lake to both parties and asked them to lure away the monsters for you?"

Matthew responded with a smile:

"It is indeed possible for a true necromancer to do this."

Bobo corrected:

"And you are a true necromancer."

Matthew glanced at her:

"Actually, you don't have to follow me all the way. After leaving the tomb, the favor you owed me has been offset."

Bobo said seriously:

"The favor owed by the magic weapon master cannot be repaid without exploding. Yesterday's tomb robbing operation went too smoothly. I must help you blow up something today!"

Matthew shrugged and stopped trying to persuade her.

On the contrary, Bobo looked at the reeds ahead and asked curiously:

"So what exactly are you doing here?"

"Find a few zombies and spend the night."

Matthew said casually.

His eyes searched the edge of the swamp, and soon he found his favorite target.

They were two zombies trapped in the reeds and mud.

There is also a shiny nameplate hanging around his neck.

"found it!"

Matthew looked back happily.

As a result, he met Bobo's extremely disgusted eyes:

"Even zombies can stay overnight, and the Necromancer is really unexpected."

Matthew didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He was about to explain that it was a misunderstanding.

At this moment.

Lumiere, who had been watching the wind, suddenly said:

"There's another fight ahead. Haha, I like to watch other people fight."

"Let me see what other idiots are running wild on my territory."

"Haha, one group of idiots belongs to the group of thieves from yesterday, and the other group of idiots, uh, looks a bit familiar... I'm so stupid!!"

"That's my tribe!!"

…
