The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 450 Are you ready to be a dog for Queen Peggy?

……

The sudden opening of Paradise Lost triggered a collective agitation among many lives in the ancient city.

Except for outsiders who have entered the Blood-Drinking Mountain one after another.

The guardians of the city of Crafa and the resentful spirits who have lived there for a long time were also inspired by Paradise Lost.

They looked at the clouds with longing eyes.

The desire to enter that sacred place is beyond words.

Above the clouds.

Magnificent palaces rose from the ground.

The palace receded into the distance.

The continuous mountains also became a background-like outline.

On top of the mountains is the sacred kingdom of God.

Countless angels flew by and hymns were sung loudly.

Beneath the mountains are emerald green grasslands and agate-like amber.

The forest loomed on both sides.

All the beautiful natural scenery imaginable is presented at the entrance to that miracle land above the clouds.

But no one can get close to that place easily.

Except for those three glorious roads that everyone is paying attention to!
The three roads extended from the clouds to the ground.

quickly.

Different figures appeared on the other two roads.

Holding the silver ticket are the Faded Dragon and the God Eater Queen who acts as his partner.

The two of them were the first to embark on the Glorious Path, so they were not disturbed by many people.

The mysterious man who had just obtained the bronze ticket was one step slower than them today.

This man is indeed mysterious.

Even under the illumination of the Glorious Road, the crowd could not see his face and appearance clearly. They could only see a large white shadow, and it was even difficult to determine the other party's race!
At last.

Only Matthew was left carrying Terraste.

He felt the pressure was overwhelming!
The moment Paradise Lost opened, everyone in the city knew the following rules.

This is a chain of information born deep in everyone's mind.

It should have come from Paradise Lost.

……

"Paradise Lost: Ticket holders can be among the first to enter Paradise Lost and have the opportunity to be the first to choose priesthood and authority.

Wait until the first batch of entrants have been selected.

Paradise Lost will be open to everyone!
Note: Each ticket allows up to two people to enter the gate of Paradise Lost together.

……

It is precisely because of this note.

This made Matthew determined to act without telling Lao Tai.

do not know why.

The other two groups were moving very fast on the Glorious Path.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds.

Only Matthew walked extremely slowly.

He sensed it and found that he could not use any means of speed on the Path of Light and could only rely on his most primitive walking ability to move forward.

But the most important thing is.

"Why is this old man so heavy?"

Terraste's weight far exceeded Matthew's understanding of wood elves!
He seriously suspected that he was carrying five or six wood elves, not just one!
But once he has chosen this path, he has no choice but to walk it on his own.

A Bing and Peggy were guarding on the left and right respectively.

As a summon.

They could not embark on the Glorious Path and could only escort Matthew on the ground.

They couldn't carry Terraste for Matthew, they could only lend a hand.

Only about one-third of the Path of Glory is located on the ground.

The remaining two thirds.

Matthew had to carry the old elf up by himself!
Even though Matthew has always been in good shape.

But for a mage, it is still an incredibly tiring job.

Fortunately, Matthew, who has been planting trees for many years, adapted to this kind of physical work quickly.

Soon.

He gradually grasped the center of gravity of Terraste and moved forward step by step.

Didn't go far.

There appeared a malicious blocker ahead.

These people looked at Matthew and Terraste behind him with unfriendly eyes.

The weapons in his hands seemed ready to fight.

For these roadblocks.

Matthew's approach is simple.

He rushed directly into the other person's body, and then pushed the Terrast against them -

This move was quite effective.

The people who were blocking the road with such aggressiveness just now were forced to move away as soon as Matthew touched them.

Because the first group of people reacted most strongly and retreated greatly, the surrounding bystanders reacted even more strongly, and everyone was scrambling to retreat.

Some people don't even know what's going on.

But when he felt the murderous aura from Terrast, the greed that had just arisen in his heart suddenly disappeared.

For a while.

The Glorious Road was much quieter.

Matthew continued to carry Terraste forward.

of course.

There are also some who don't believe in superstition.

A familiar face appeared on the road ahead.

That's the dracolich Stephanie.

She stared coldly into Matthew's eyes:
“Give me the ticket.”

"That stuff of yours has no effect on me."

"Others are afraid of Terrast, but I am not..."

Matthew didn't bother to reply.

Without saying a word, he strode forward, threw his shoulders back, and was about to press Telast on the dragon lich.

Even if there is a psychological expectation.

Stephanie was also shocked by Matthew's crazy behavior, and she quickly used magic to move away.

Followed by.

She was a little angry and wanted to teach Matthew a lesson.

But at this moment.

A "Huh?" sound suddenly came from Matthew's back?

The dragon lich's soul fire suddenly began to shake violently.

Her face changed drastically.

But before Matthew could notice the change in his facial expression.

Stephanie left a shadow there, and then she disappeared!

"What a hard mouth!"

"Escape so quickly!"

While Matthew was amazed at the dragon lich's skillful escape, he couldn't help but look back.

Terraste did not wake up.

Did he just seem to be snoring?

A single snore could scare a dragon lich, who was suspected to be a top-level legend, into running away in panic.

The deterrent power of Terrast is evident.

Matthew didn't look down on Stephanie because of this.

This guy gave him a very strong feeling.

But Terrast, especially after killing the resurrected Blood Angel in the Dark Kingdom, his strength has reached another level.

Matthew even doubted it.

Under the dimensional restrictions of Blood-Drinking Mountain, Lao Tai already has the ability to compete with the Divine Mage!

A key point is.

Legendaries, especially high-level legendaries, are very difficult to kill under normal circumstances.

But Terraste seems to be an exception.

His lethality is too strong.

No one dared to laugh in front of him.

This resulted in Matthew receiving the most covetous glances along the way, and many people were ready to make a move. Some people - for example, the demon lord Eisner - almost came face to face with Matthew, but in the end they still retreated.

No one dared to really do it.

Even though the person on Matthew's back was a seemingly unconscious Terraste.

This is the deterrent power of the top strong man!
"It feels good to be a fox borrowing the power of a tiger..."

Seeing that the ground stage of the Path of Glory had come to an end, Matthew felt much more relaxed.

At this moment.

A familiar face appeared in front of me again.

That is the evil spirit lord Omadochi.

But compared to the hostility of others, it is either lighter or heavier.

The evil spirit lord had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all about Matthew killing his son and daughter-in-law:
"Matthew, I want to make a deal with you."

Matthew said solemnly:
"You said."

Omadoqi quickly said:

"I will use the authority of four of the seven seats in the evil spirit world in exchange for the position of Terrast beside you."

"I will hand over the authority to you before entering the gate of Paradise Lost. By then, you will have control over more than half of the planes of the evil spirit world."

"Afterwards, we can enter Paradise Lost together and share the authority of the ancient gods."

Matthew shook his head:

"I reject."

Omadoch was not surprised. He immediately proposed a new condition:
"The second option is that I will give you the authority of one of the seven seats. I hope you can give me priority in reserving a place in the twin heavens that are about to rise."

Matthew thought for a while:
"can."

"But I can't give any absolute guarantees. After all, I don't even know what Paradise Lost looks like now."

Omadoqi smiled and nodded:

"Then it's a deal."

"Let me tell you a little secret. Near Paradise Lost, all verbal promises must be honored, otherwise you will lose the chance to become an ancient god forever."

"Some people think that this is because the spirit of Paradise Lost values integrity, but I personally think that this is purely an overflow of the rigid power of rules."

"To become a true Ancient God, rather than the rules themselves, one must be above the rules, right?"

Matthew chuckled:
"I do not know."

"Can you get out of the way now?"

Omadochi narrowed his eyes, realizing that his little verbal trick had been discovered, but he didn't say much and simply made way.

at this time.

Suddenly, some troll spirits and lower-level guardians appeared from other places.

They seemed not to be afraid of the Terrast on Matthew's shoulder at all, and they all rushed up.

Matthew frowned.

I just wanted to take action.

But these people were stopped by Omadochi.

"Remember your promise."

Omadochi said lightly.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, then carried Terraste on his back and walked up to the clouds with difficulty but determination!
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Go higher and higher.

The lighter the Terrast's body.

Matthew walked more and more briskly.

He completed the 2/3 journey from the sky to the clouds in less than 1/3 of the time it would take on the ground!
This phenomenon was novel to Matthew.

But no matter what.

Now he has successfully arrived at the gate of Paradise Lost -

This is a very open cloud platform.

There are some ancient teleportation arrays on the platform, most of which are in a dusty state.

There are many paths similar to the Shining Path extending from the edge of the platform.

In its center stands a majestic arched gate.

The amazing thing is.

No matter which angle you look at it from.

The gate seems to be facing you.

Matthew did not see the other two groups of people on the platform, so he guessed they had already entered the door.

But he was in no hurry.

The information provided with the ticket clearly states that those holding the golden ticket have the first choice.

Even if others enter the door first, they must wait for the holder of the golden ticket to enter.

If the holder of the golden ticket is late to enter.

Then after a certain time, those who entered early will be kicked out.

There are various signs.

Paradise Lost is a special space that pays great attention to rules.

Matthew even considered whether he should wait a little longer on the platform, at least until Terraste wakes up.

He has discovered it now.

Old Tai is not fishing.

He was really badly injured and had fainted.

The two killings he committed previously were probably his limit!
I recalled that I had carried the person up here using this empty city tactic.

Matthew was also frightened.

He was worried that if he entered Paradise Lost, he would face threats from the other two groups of people.

In that situation, an unconscious Terrast would hardly have the same deterrent effect as below.

After all, he is the one who can enter Paradise Lost.

They all came here with the goal of becoming gods, and most of them are top-level warriors who are no less powerful than Terrast.

"Let's wait a moment..."

Matthew made up his mind and laid Terraste's body flat on the ground. During the contact, he could clearly feel that the other party's body was recovering at an extremely fast rate.

Listen to the strong and powerful heartbeat of Terraste.

Matthew felt that this didn't look like an elf's body at all.

More like a giant dragon!
Then he arose and went to the gate of Paradise Lost.

next second.

The scene inside the door changed dramatically.

The shadows of skyscrapers flashed before Matthew's eyes, and between the skyscrapers there was a constant stream of traffic and the faces of many different kinds of passers-by.

He was a little stunned at first.

But soon.

Matthew couldn't help but chuckle:
"Looking in from the outside of Paradise Lost, what you see are probably the memories that people cherish most..."

for him.

Many details of my past life have become blurry, like a dream.

in contrast.

He could clearly remember every detail of the world of Aindo, no matter how bitter or sweet it was.

This feels very real.

It was not like the scene seen inside the door, it was just like a mirage.

But seeing these things always makes people feel peaceful.

Matthew looked quietly into the door.

There was inevitably a hint of attachment in his eyes.

But at this time.

An extremely cold voice sounded behind him:

"If you take one step forward, you will no longer have a place in the Seven Saints Alliance."

Matthew turned around abruptly.

Since when, the light around the cloud platform has dimmed.

The blue sky and white clouds turned into stars in the dark night.

Between the flickering of stars.

A beautiful but stern white-haired woman was floating among the stars, looking at Matthew with disappointment.

This scene seemed familiar to Matthew.

It was as if I was back to the first time I met Isabel.

This is……

Isabel's projection!
"Teacher... I just..."

Matthew was about to explain.

The other party said without any doubt:
"No need to explain."

"You should know exactly what you are doing."

"The facts are the facts, and what was done is done. It has nothing to do with excuses."

Matthew felt his breath catch.

The overwhelming pressure hit his shoulders, and his knees almost gave out and he almost fell down on the spot!
This feeling is really horrible.

He seemed to be facing a giant beast coming from the depths of the universe.

He had no thought of resistance and could only wait to be killed!
"So, what shook your resolve?"

Isabel's tone softened a little, but her expression was still very stern, and the disappointment in her eyes became even stronger:

"Is it because of the Void's mark?"

"Or is it because of the invasion of the abyss?"

"Are you totally unprepared for the chaos that is about to hit this world?"

Matthew took a deep breath.

suddenly.

He raised his head.

He did not answer Isabel's question, but raised his own doubts:
"Where are you now?" Isabel said lightly:

"I'm everywhere."

Matthew mustered up the courage to look into the other person's beautiful eyes and asked forcefully:
"So where were you when the Abyss invaded?"

"Where are you?"

"Where were you when Terrast was planning to recreate the Ancient God?"

"Where are you guys again?"

There was a hint of indignation in his tone.

Isabel looked unhappy:

"Are you questioning me?"

Matthew responded bluntly:

"Yes, I am questioning you!"

"I don't think you're my teacher at all, Isabel!"

"You are just an imposter who came from nowhere!"

Hear this.

Isabel showed a strange smile on her face:
"What if I'm not an imposter?"

Matthew's momentum remained unchanged:
"So what if it's not?"

"Even if you are the real Isabel, can't I question it?"

The smile on the other person's face became more obvious.

"interesting."

next moment.

She suddenly opened her hands.

A huge crystal ball appeared in front of Matthew.

The crystal ball spun rapidly.

A huge picture then opened.

Matthew's eyelids twitched violently.

He recognized the first scene that appeared on the screen.

That's Rolling Stone City!
He saw the walls of Rolling Stone City collapse, and an endless stream of demon armies flew over the city walls and began to burn, kill and loot in the city;

He saw the oak forest ablaze, the fire spreading for miles, the oak elves weeping in the fire, the corpses of centaurs being hoisted high, and the cavalry of the cavalry demons trampling the land of the Sanctuary of Life;
Subsequently.

Matthew's pupils shrank sharply——

He saw a tall figure with dozens of arrows in the sky falling down under the siege of demons in the smoke of Rolling Stone City.

Blood and flesh were scattered all over the ground.

After the smoke.

There was no one in the city, only the faint sound of crying surrounded Matthew's ears.

He saw a helpless girl, crying while hugging the figure that had been completely disfigured.

"Sif..."

"Rhaegar!?"

Matthew forced himself to calm down.

"This is an illusion!"

he told himself.

It must be so.

The demon army had clearly been dispersed by himself, so how could it suddenly turn around and attack Rolling Stone City?
"Of course you can paralyze yourself, this is just an illusion."

"But I'm afraid you already know the answer in your heart."

Isabel said calmly:

"Where were you when Rolling Stone City was breached?"

"Let me answer for you. You are coveting the power of the ancient gods. You are chasing after higher beings. You are ignoring the groups that need your protection."

"You didn't stay with them when they needed you most."

Matthew wanted to retort.

But the words seemed to be stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them at all!

"From this perspective, what's the difference between what you do and what I do?"

Isabel sneered lightly:

“You have no idea how important things are in the lost historical world.”

"It is subversive to mages. No mage can resist such temptation."

"Look, didn't you do the same thing as us?"

"We are all ordinary people kidnapped by extraordinary power. Why do you have to pretend to be noble in front of me?"

Isabel walked towards Matthew step by step.

Her words became increasingly sharp:
"When you come into this world, you are no longer clean."

"Perhaps you think you can uphold some bottom line and maintain your final purity, but let me expose your hypocritical mask and self-deceiving lies!"

"you!"

"Matthew!"

"You have already merged with this filthy world. You are no different from everyone else!"

"You are nothing more than an evil and greedy necromancer!"

"You claim to be innocent because that's the cover you use to deceive the world and your heart!"

"you……"

"Already fallen!"

Those powerful accusations were like heavy punches, hitting Matthew's chest hard.

He just felt chest tightness and could hardly breathe.

“But I don’t care about that.”

Isabel changed the subject:
"I only care about whether you can stop yourself from falling and whether you will really become a traitor to the alliance."

"That's all."

"You have to know that mages and gods can never coexist in this world..."

She stood in front of Matthew, looking down at him.

"It's not too late to turn back now..."

She extended a hand to Matthew's cheek.

But at that moment.

Matthew suddenly dodged like lightning.

Followed by.

He stood up straight.

Staring at each other coldly:

"But you're still an imposter, right?"

Unexpectedly, the other party nodded bluntly:
"Of course I'm not the real Isabel."

"But unfortunately, I can simulate all the thoughts, expressions and reactions of the person I want to simulate."

"What I just said to you is what the real Isabel would say if she were here."

“There is no doubt about that.”

Matthew looked at the other person silently:

"who are you?"

The other person's face suddenly changed, and turned into Luo Lan's appearance:

"You haven't figured out who I am yet?"

"I've always been by your side!"

"You even asked your good buddy to imitate me. Although his imitation made me want to laugh, for a mortal, it was still considered as his best effort..."

Matthew's heart tightened.

The Thousand-Change Lord Gasiliwen! ?

"How will you be here?"

"Where did you appear from?"

Matthew was filled with doubts.

The opponent's hiding method was so sophisticated that my perception was completely unable to detect it.

The data bar also has no response.

This caused Matthew to feel a rare sense of panic.

Fortunately.

He has seen quite a few big scenes these days.

Matthew managed to calm down.

"You men are still a little slow..."

"You seem so nonchalant even about the fact that I'm occupying your body?"

Gasliwen giggled.

Until then.

Matthew then sensed some new changes.

……

"Warning: The Thousand-Change Lord Gasliwen is trying to plunder your body and elements!
The Minotaur Lord is resisting!
Resistance failed!

Gasliwen has exceeded your authority and territory..."

……

Matthew was too lazy to check the data column, which was even more belated than he was.

That moment.

Thousands of lightning flashed through his mind.

finally.

He directly took out the scroll from his bag!
"This is the culprit!"

Matthew responded.

This is the blank scroll that Roland carried on the body he found in the spider's belly outside the Snail Valley Prison!
And the corpse at that time...

Without waiting for Matthew to react.

Gasliwen became a familiar face again.

That is--

Setrunk!

"You killed Setrunk?"

Matthew vaguely realized the identity of the corpse——

Something was indeed seriously wrong at Snail Valley Prison.

Setrunk went to break the prison under the instigation of Gasliwen, but he didn't expect to be eaten alive by his own ancestor, and finally became a cold corpse in the belly of a spider.

At the same time, it also became a tool for Gasliwen to get close to Matthew!
"Yes."

"I killed him."

"But my child is very willing to give for me. He has long hoped to become one with me, and I have fulfilled his wish."

"He's a very brave boy and I'm very proud of him."

Gasliwen turned into an extremely charming woman again.

at the same time.

On her left cheek appeared the face of Setrenk.

A deep voice followed:

"Yes."

“I’m really happy to be a part of motherhood.”

"Matthew, give up resistance and become a part of motherhood like me."

"Only in the mother's body can we find the original happiness and peace..."

The scene was terrifying.

Matthew couldn't help but take a step back.

Then he looked around again, and after hesitating for a few seconds, Matthew finally confirmed that the space in front of him was not the platform outside the gate of Paradise Lost, nor was it some illusion world, but his own spiritual space!
Logically speaking, Matthew only has spiritual origin, not spiritual space.

But Gasliwen didn't know what means she used, but she actually constructed an existence similar to the evil thought space of the sorcerer on top of his origin!

She had indeed penetrated very deeply.

And before that.

I was totally unaware...

A huge regret surged in his heart, but Matthew suppressed it instantly.

now.

All the negativity is meaningless.

Even the God of Murder was possessed by Gasliwen, which shows how terrifying the Lord of the Thousand Changes is.

No matter how careful Matthew is, he will reveal his flaws. This is a very normal thing.

But as long as there is still a glimmer of hope.

He will not give up trying.

Between thoughts.

His eyes became firm again.

But Gasliwen's face was full of mocking smiles:
"Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?"

"A true hunter will kill his prey with one strike like me before claiming his sovereignty."

"So when you see me showing up, you should know that you have already lost, and there is no chance of a comeback."

Matthew's expression remained unchanged.

Gasliwen continued to taunt:

"You're not waiting for Isabel's patronus, are you?"

"How do you think I ended up looking like Isabel if I hadn't devoured her first?"

"Or do you think Terraste can save you?"

"To be exact, he can indeed save you when he is awake, but unfortunately, it will take at least six hours for him to wake up."

"And this time is enough for us to have a good time together, my little Matthew..."

She boldly extended her forked tongue and licked it along her lips, and then the scarlet tongue licked her peaks.

"If I really have no chance of winning, why are you talking so much nonsense to me?"

Matthew was not fooled by Gasliwen's words.

His tone was quite firm:

“This is a space created by my spiritual essence.”

“I naturally have home-field advantage.”

"What's more...I never fight alone!"

Gasliwen seemed amused by him:
"Don't you know that telling a few wisecracks to a dying prey is a rare pleasure in life?"

"As for your companions, you don't think those skeletons can help you, do you?"

"They can't get into this place, and even if they could, they can't help."

"Speaking of which, I'm quite interested in your collection of strange and bizarre undead summons. Don't worry, once you become a part of my body, I will take good care of them for you."

"Hehehe..."

Matthew turned a deaf ear to Gasliwen's words.

A gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.

In that moment.

He seemed to have made some important decision, then lowered his head slightly and muttered silently:
"Paige."

Gasliwen stood where she was, but her forked tongue suddenly licked Matthew.

"Your Minotaur Skeleton is still on the ground, watching the show!"

"Stop dreaming!"

she said coldly.

Matthew was unmoved. He dodged the attack of the tongue and shouted again:
"Paige!"

His voice was a little hurried.

But the surrounding space remained unchanged.

Gasliwen seemed relieved:

"It seems that you are a little panicked..."

Can be followed immediately.

Matthew suddenly shouted:

"Paige!"

"I need your help!"

That moment.

In Gasliwen's surprised eyes.

Black flames were burning on Matthew's body!
The flame is so strange, giving people a cold and noble aura!

"This is……"

Gasliwen's tongue was touched by the flame and was instantly burned to ashes!
For the first time, an uneasy expression appeared on her face!
"This is a secret that only I know."

Matthew was bathed in the black fire, his face became distorted, and his expression became somewhat evil:

"Three years ago."

"After I carried her out of the Gold Pit for the first time."

"I am no longer just Matthew."

"You are such a heinous opponent. You actually forced me to reveal my last secret..."

"Do you know how many people will be implicated by you in the future?"

Matthew sighed with a complicated expression.

next second.

A tall black shadow unexpectedly separated from Matthew's body——

This is Matthew's spiritual space.

His body is actually his soul!

And after the dark shadow left Matthew's soul.
