The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 439 The world's first necromancer!
……

Matthew instinctively wanted to attack.

But next second.

He noticed some signs, so he suppressed his nausea and stood there motionless.

Anne Salvens' reaction was similar.

After a few seconds.

The bloated tongue licked the people in the elevator car clean.

Then he quickly took it back.

next second.

A bright white light appeared from the darkness.

Then came a somewhat funny voice:

"Welcome to safe house No. 779!"

"I am your butler, Mr. Slow. The artificers prefer to call me Slow, but if you think these names are too troublesome, just call me Big Lip!"

A mechanical snail about one person tall appeared in front of everyone.

Matthew took a step forward.

After stepping out of the elevator, the space in front suddenly becomes clear.

His eyes were mainly focused on the cool shell of the mechanical snail——

The entire shell is made of some kind of high-strength alloy, which reflects the color of mithril under white light, giving people an extremely solid feeling.

The snail's soft body is covered with a thick layer of enamel.

Make its appearance look unique.

The more Matthew looked, the more amazed he became.

"This is simply the perfect combination of mechanical construction and biological enchantment!"

The mechanical snail named Big Tongue demonstrates extremely flexible maneuverability.

He walked back and forth in front of the crowd, introducing them as he walked:

"The passionate licking just now was a little easter egg arranged by the artificers."

"I hope you won't hold it against me."

"I don't think so."

"Because you are the rare guests who did not have a stress reaction due to my licking, which shows that you are of high quality. I am very happy that you can come to Safe House No. 779 as guests."

"By the way, I have just removed all the dust from your bodies. Not only that, I have also removed all the negative states from you, and blessed you with a purification spell that will last for thirty-six hours and make you spotless."

"Now, you should feel that your body has become more relaxed, right?"

Matthew's heart moved.

He looked at the data column and it was true.

The Mechanic is indeed a bit weird, actually setting up such an easter egg for the safe house.

If it were someone with a faster reaction, he would have cut off Big Tongue's tongue long ago!

"Please follow me and walk forward through this corridor. We will pass through the cleaning area, disinfection area, and inspection area one after another."

"In these sections, I will lead you through the steps necessary to enter the safe house."

"Before that, I must remind you not to bring dangerous goods into safe house No. 779."

"Besides, as long as you don't violate the safe house's rules, Safe House 779 is the most welcoming home you will ever encounter in the wild."

"We will give three return scrolls to all visitors who pass the inspection. As long as you are inside the Krafa city area, you can use these scrolls to return to the safe house within three to five seconds."

"The closer we are to the safe house, the faster we can return. Isn't this easy to understand?"

"Of course, due to some design errors, you may end up directly in the elevator shaft when using the return scroll."

"Don't worry, if you just hold on a little longer I can lick you in with my tongue, it's not a big deal, right?"

In the chattering narration of the mechanical snail.

A group of people followed him through the three areas of the central passage.

The cleaning area work has been completed in the little Easter egg during the first meeting;

The disinfection area involves spraying two special potions on the body to eliminate toxins and plague;

The final testing area is actually a registration area.

It is to roughly register the visitor's background.

The group entered quite smoothly.

Seven or eight minutes later.

They arrived inside safe house No. 779.

The space inside the safe house is quite spacious, with an internal height generally ranging from 4 to 6 meters and an even larger horizontal area.

The mechanical snail seemed very enthusiastic, and introduced in detail as it walked:

"This is the kitchen area, where the spider maid and the cow chef are in charge. Most of the dishes you want to eat...are not available here!"

"Don't think too much. Artificers have low requirements for food. As long as they can fill their stomachs, it's fine. If you really want to improve the quality of your food, you can do it yourself. But before that, you have to convince the kitchen staff?"

"What? You are interested in the Spider Maid? I knew that no one could resist the temptation of the Construct..."

"That's the venting area, which contains fire-relieving robots from various races. Unfortunately, due to the limited floor space, if you want to experience the actual combat capabilities of dragons or giants, you may have to go to a larger safe house."

"The front is the living and resting area. Smoking is strictly prohibited. However, if you roll tobacco into explosives and smoke, you will be exempted."

"After that are the library and the work area. I'm sorry, there are no mechanics among you, so these two functional areas will not be open to you..."

One lap down.

Matthew also had a general understanding of the structure of the safe house.

The machinists are quite capable. Not only can they build a shelter of this scale in the underground space, but they also arrange the major functional areas in perfect order.

The only thing that made him feel a little bit annoyed was.

The library and work area together occupy 98% of the entire safe house!
All other regions combined account for less than one-tenth of their size.

"Is this a safe house or the underground workstation where the Artificer once worked?"

Matthew was skeptical.

The group found a place to sit in the rest area.

The mechanical snails serve them enthusiastically:

"Tea or coffee?"

"Whatever you want, we don't have it here—

Don't look at me like that, the artificers took everything with them when they left, which is why the regular food from the kitchen has a bad reputation.

But as a service robot, I have to ask this question as usual even when supplies are scarce.

This helps create a warm and welcoming feeling for everyone..."

Anne talked to the big tongue with great interest for a while.

Matthew then asked:

"I want to know, how does this safe house achieve its security function?"

"As far as I know, the biggest threat to this ancient city is the vengeful troll spirits left over from ancient times and some sleeping guardians. How did you prevent them from entering the safe house?"

He was just asking casually.

Who would have thought that the other party would answer honestly:
“It’s horse manure.”

"We used a lot of horse manure and horse hair when building the walls of the safe house..."

Speaking of it.

The faces of Annie and other trolls suddenly changed, and their expressions became very unnatural!
Big Tongue said bluntly:
"As we all know, the ancient trolls hated horses from the bottom of their hearts. Horse manure and horse hair made them feel sick, so they could help to resist the invasion of troll ghosts."

“The reason is said to be that when the ancient trolls were taming horses, they were deliberately designed by the cursed ancient god Eduin.

He cursed the trolls for being allergic to horse hair.

finally.

Many ancient trolls suffered severe allergic reactions during the process of domesticating horses.

In mild cases, the whole body will itch and tears will flow; in severe cases, there will be fever, amnesia, and even life-threatening conditions.

In some remote troll tribe.

There have even been small-scale epidemics caused by allergies to horse hair.

Today it is today.

Trolls still cannot ride horses like humans. On the one hand, their body shape is not suitable for riding horses, and on the other hand, it is the deliberate influence of the cursed ancient gods.

Over time.

Ancient trolls kept their distance from creatures like horses.

They even dare not go to places where horses move in large numbers, and they regard horse manure and horse hair as ferocious tigers.

This has been deeply engraved in the bloodline of the trolls.

Therefore, when ancient trolls encountered places with horse manure or horse hair, they would basically take a detour.

Even the troll spirits are like this.

Their keen senses allow them to see into the materials inside the safe house walls.

So I won’t come here to disturb you.”

Speaking of it.

Big Tongue explained to the trolls:

"But as far as I know, the trolls have now walked out of the shadow of the cursed ancient god. Your bodies are no longer allergic to horse hair, but there are still some psychological shadows. But you should be able to overcome it, right?"

Anne nodded awkwardly:

"You're right, horse hair and horse manure are no longer a big deal to us."

But Matthew noticed.

Before saying this, the troll princess held her breath for more than forty seconds!
And judging by the trolls’ reactions.

Their psychological trauma obviously did not disappear as the mechanical snail said.

“This is a little bit of knowledge that is somewhat useful.”

Matthew made a mental note.

after awhile.

A Bing suddenly made a gesture to him, and after the two of them walked aside, he handed a tiny strand of hair to Matthew.

"Did Leon drop it?"

Matthew asked.

A Bing nodded.

Some of Matthew's doubts were answered——

Although the legendary archer fled after failing to hit the target, Matthew still asked the soldier to check the location where the other party launched the attack.

Hope to find some clues.

Now this horse hair obviously came from Li Ang!
"No wonder he dared to chase me alone, as if he was not afraid of the night..."

Matthew touched his chin.

obviously.

Little Ingram and his group knew before themselves about the restraining effect of horse hair or horse manure on troll spirits.

This is one of the reasons why they seem fearless.

"According to this statement, as long as I have a certain amount of horse hair or horse manure, can I pass through the ancient city of Crafa at night without any hindrance?"

Matthew raised doubts.

Big Tongue explained patiently:

"not that simple."

"You have to know that ghosts are not living things. They are not allergic to horse hair or horse manure. They just instinctively hate these things."

"But disgust is not fear. If you appear directly in their field of vision, they may still suppress their nausea and kill you. So it's best not to wander around outside in Crafar at night, as this will increase the chances of encountering the troll ghost."

"Even if you think you are skilled and brave enough to easily defeat ordinary troll ghosts, according to the experience of the artificers, once the number of troll ghosts decreases sharply, the resentment in this city may summon more powerful resentful creatures. They are the remnants of terrible lives active in the Dark Ages. Even the gods will retreat..."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Then everyone took a rest.

To be fair, Matthew was a bit stressed out being in the same room with such a large group of trolls.

In particular, the troll princess Anne Salvens did not hide her attention to Matthew at all.

And what she focuses on.

Holiday beside her was naturally also concerned about something.

Being stared at by these two people.

Matthew's nerves were no less tense than when he was carrying the legendary archer's prey mark.

So he quickly found an excuse, left the public rest area, asked Big Tongue for a separate lounge, and after letting Soldier and Peggy stand guard at the door, he went in alone.

After entering the room.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

He relaxed his mind and adjusted his condition through meditation and supplements.

Subsequently.

He sank his mental power into the Jaeger Blade to check the condition of Princess Richie's soul. Who knew that Matthew had just probed a ray of mental power into the golden knife.

Then I saw a very horrifying scene——

Ricky's soul was tied up on the stone pillar in the center of the altar.

Below the altar.

A series of wet tentacles were whipping her soul alternately!

Although there are mysterious guardian runes guarding outside the spirit body.

But every time those tentacles twitched, Richie would let out a scream that could tear the sky apart.

Matthew rushed over to stop Jaeger's brutal act.

On the altar.

The tentacles sank into the ground one after another.

Matthew vaguely caught a glimpse of Jaeger's Blade's confusion.

……

"Hint: Jaeger's Blade is not pleased with your cowardly behavior.

It believes that the troll princess, Richie Salvens, should be trained into a banshee or a spirit according to custom.

……

Does Jaeger's Blade have this function?

Matthew was secretly surprised.

But when you think about it, this is the weapon of the god of death, everything makes sense.

present.

Matthew controlled the mental power and came to Richie's side.

The latter broke free from the tentacles and grabbed Matthew like crazy:

"help me!"

"help me!"

"Get me out of here!"

Her voice sounded crazy. Matthew tried to communicate with her several times, but she seemed to have been so frightened that she had closed off her ability to interact with others.

Without any choice.

Matthew had no choice but to concentrate his mental power into a long whip——

clap clap clap!
There were three consecutive crisp sounds, and the long whip hit Ruiqi's spirit.

She howled in pain, and the protective rune became much dimmer.

at the same time.

Her consciousness also became much clearer.

"Can you hear me now?"

Matthew asked calmly.

A deep fear flashed in Richie's eyes, and then she said "hmm" obediently.

"You should know who I am. You and I both know what you wanted to do by entering my spell. To me, that is all in the past. What is important is what is going to happen next."

Matthew put it bluntly:

"First of all, there's no way I'm letting you go."

"Secondly, if you answer some of my questions truthfully, I will make your situation slightly better than it is now."

Richie was a little desperate.

But she nodded quickly and said:

"I will answer all your questions truthfully."

Matthew first reviewed some topics he had discussed with Anne.

This includes the origins of the Twin Paradises and the current state of the Troll Kingdom.

Generally speaking.

Anne did not lie to Matthew.

It’s just that Ricky said more things in order to save his life.

Matthew learned from her.

Today, the Salwens family is facing the dilemma of a lack of successors. Although Anne and Rikki's father, the patriarch of the Salwens family, is in his prime and his strength is at the legendary level, his descendants are not good enough.

The second generation of the troll royal family originally consisted of six people, three men and three women.

Among the three men, one died young, one died in the war between the trolls and the barbarians, and the remaining troll prince was rebellious by nature and left his family many years ago. It is said that he was very close to the barbarians, the mortal enemies of the trolls.

There were three women left, Anne was the eldest, followed by Ricky, and there was a princess who was even younger.

This situation is indeed somewhat embarrassing for a royal family.

Although the Troll Kingdom was established successfully.

The Salvins family still faces great pressure both inside and outside.

It is also in this situation.

Anne and Ricky took on the responsibility of leading the team to find Paradise Lost.

According to Richie.

This task was given to them by their father.

The latter said that he was inspired by the troll god in a dream.

Considering that the king of the Troll Kingdom is also a legendary warrior.

The phantom dragon shouldn't be able to deceive it in a dream.

Matthew believes that the probability that the real summoner is Paradise Lost has increased by another 10%.

Subsequently.

Matthew asked Richie for additional information.

Ruiqi no longer had the vigor and vitality she had when she first charged into the crowd of fish.

She tells you almost everything she knows.

Half an hour passed.

Matthew turned Annie's team upside down and almost knew the color of Holiday's underwear!
Even including Anne's weaknesses.

She told Matthew everything!
This was a great surprise to him.

"This guy is really ruthless!"

Matthew murmured inwardly.

At this moment.

Ruiqi suddenly asked cautiously:

"You really can't let me out?"

"I can sign a contract with you as a slave. I will never betray you. I will be your most loyal slave..."

Matthew interrupted:
"Forget it."

Richie's eyes became much dimmer.

Matthew sensed the other party's emotional changes and continued to control the rhythm of the conversation:
"But the information you just gave me is indeed very useful to me."

"I decided to take you away from this place and provide you with a relatively safe place to stay."

"Besides that, you can also make some small requests. As long as they are not excessive, I will satisfy you."

Ricky thought for a moment.

What he said next surprised Matthew:
"If you really don't want to let me out."

"Then I only have one request left."

"I wish you would treat Anne Salwens the same way you treat me!"

Ruiqi looked at Matthew expectantly:

"I will do everything in my power to help you conquer her soul!"

"Don't you want us two sisters to serve you together?"

Matthew looked into the eager face.

A chill ran through my heart.

"You want her to be my slave girl?"

he asks.

Richie said excitedly:

"I want her to die!"

"Why can she still live well after I die?"

"Since we are sisters, she should bear the same fate as me!"

while talking.

Her soul trembled slightly, with an uncontrollable pleasure.

Matthew was silent.

"I understand."

He said this, and then threw Ricky's soul into the lost lantern.

When leaving Jaeger's Blade.

Matthew could clearly sense a hint of mockery coming from the altar—

"See, I told you she's very suitable for training as a succubus."

"According to this vicious mind, she is even qualified to become the new Banshee Queen..."

Consciousness returns to the body.

Matthew took another nap in the room.

He then left the room to see if the others had also made it to the safe house.

Just opened the door.

He heard a group of trolls surrounding Gasliwen.

The latter is talking:

"...Do you know how the first necromancer was born?"

"That was during the Dark Ages. Oh, the Dark Ages were a really good time. It's a pity that you didn't catch up. At that time, if you just went out and ate a fruit or did something special, you would have a chance to become a god. But now it's different. The good times are over..."

"Back to the Necromancer."

"In an ancient city-state in the north, there was a poor young man with nothing but four walls. He had been supported by a neighboring sister for a long time, and he developed a strong affection for her."

"She was a sunny, cheerful and outgoing woman who could get along with anyone."

"The boy loved the older sister very much, but in her eyes, he was just a weak and young brother, and his love was ignored and suppressed for a long time."

"In the end, the boy felt inferior because of his current situation and went crazy because of his love."

"Once, a meteor landed near that city-state. The boy risked his life to search for a miracle, and he actually found an ancient wishing stone."

"As we all know, each ancient wishing stone has three chances to make a wish."

"The boy was so excited that his first wish was that the girl next door would fall in love with him."

"But this prayer failed."

"The boy was unwilling to give up and made a second prayer."

“But it still failed.”

"In anger and humiliation, the boy angrily began to pray for the third time."

"He prayed that all those who had an affair with the neighbor's sister would die on the spot and become slaves controlled by him."

"The wish was successful."

"After that day, more than two-thirds of the men in that city-state died suddenly and became undead wandering the streets."

"And that young man finally became the master of those undead spirits as he wished."

"This is the origin of the world's first necromancer."

The trolls were stunned.

Only one of the trolls said with envy:
"Can I become a powerful necromancer in this way?"

“I also want to be such a lucky person.”

Mosong, the God of Travelers beside him, nodded.

The troll asked:

"Do you want to be that boy too?"

Mo Song shook his head:

“I want to be that sister.”

In the lounge.

Suddenly it became extremely quiet.
