The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 490 Bloody Puppet

……

Facing Melinda's sudden questioning.

Matthew's expression did not change, and his tone was quite natural:

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Melinda stared at his face carefully:

"Because Master Guda mentioned that the female devil who sneaked into the dreamland in the center of the earth was able to hide from the monitoring of the Cangtian Matrix."

"As far as I know, there aren't many special abilities in the entire multiverse that can do this."

"Which happens to include the pure blood of Baator."

Matthew's heart skipped a beat.

He pondered:

"So you suspect that Sif did something so outrageous?"

"Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Melinda thought about it:

"It's indeed a bit too bizarre, but the child has the real blood of Baator in his body. It's not surprising that he suddenly awakens into an awesome female demon king."

"She is different from Rhaegar."

"She is destined to become a truly powerful person..."

Matthew responded indifferently:

"Kanta's example is there."

"It can be seen that what Master Guda said to us may not be true. I even suspect that the attack on Tianxin Land may be a drama directed and performed by him, with the purpose of luring us into the trap..."

Melinda shook her head and said:

"No matter how powerful Master Guda is, he cannot control the captains who are loyal to the royal faction and the general faction respectively."

"The attack on Tianxin Land should be true..."

Immediately.

She once again fixed her eager gaze on Matthew's face, as if trying to read more information from his expression.

However, Matthew is also a veteran.

He skillfully changed the subject:

"So, where did the blood of Baator in Sif come from?"

This time it was Melinda's turn to remain silent.

Matthew looked her straight in the eyes.

She turned her head away slightly, not daring to look Matthew in the eye.

"If it's inconvenient to explain, you don't have to say it."

Matthew pretended to be empathetic.

Melinda sighed:

"I stole it."

Matthew looked unconvinced——

In his opinion, Melinda was at best a woman with a little cleverness.

A treasure of the level of the Blood of Baator must have been carefully preserved by the high-level devils of Purgatory. How could it be easy to steal it?

Especially according to Rega.

Melinda was still pregnant at that time, and her strength barely reached the third level. How could she have stolen such a precious thing?
It seemed that he had sensed Matthew's thoughts.

A bitter smile appeared on her face:
"I stole it."

"But in the process of stealing the blood of Baator, a very powerful being provided me with assistance. Due to the original agreement, I cannot reveal his name - in fact, I even suspect that the name he gave me was also false."

"No matter what, I must keep my promise."

Matthew raised his eyebrows.

Will this woman keep her promise?
Considering her character and the Blood of Baator background.

Matthew directly marked the strength of the mysterious man who helped Melinda steal the blood of Baator as above the upper legendary level!
"That person, would you mind telling me which camp he is from?"

Matthew continued to probe.

However, this time it was Melinda's turn to change the subject:
"Speaking of Sif, I know she likes you very much."

"She mentioned you in almost every letter she wrote to me."

"What I want to know is—what are you going to do with her?"

Speaking of it.

She looked at Matthew intently.

Matthew asked rhetorically:
"In what capacity do you ask me this question?"

Melinda said softly:

"Sif's mother, of course."

"I care about her, too."

Matthew sneered inwardly.

On the surface, he just replied calmly:
"is it?"

"If that's the case, this isn't the right occasion to discuss such a serious topic."

talking.

Matthew took the initiative to speed up his exploration. After leaving Melinda a few steps behind, the two fell into silence again.

The underground caves in this area seem endless.

They walked for about half an hour at a stretch before they seemed to be gradually reaching the bottom of the cave.

Here, there appeared stone platforms growing out of the abyss.

There are some blood sacs on the edge of the stone platform.

The closer you get to the middle.

The more blood sacs there are, the stronger the evil aura from purgatory becomes.

soon.

Matthew and the other person came to the central platform.

there.

He saw hundreds of corpses wrapped in blood bags, hanging from the rock wall above his head.

The floor of the platform was engraved with groups of profound and obscure blasphemies.

A scarlet carpet of wriggling red fungi filled the entire surface of the platform.

On the "red carpet".

Everywhere you can see the arms, thighs, intestines, hearts and various organs of humanoid life.

The color of these organs is deep black.

The blood on it seemed to have solidified for years or even decades!
And on the edge of the other side of the platform.

Matthew saw the black goat Consonya whom he had met before.

She was enjoying a pile of intestines piled up like a small mountain.

The goat kept eating without stopping and ate very quickly.

He also showed an indifferent attitude towards the arrival of Matthew and the other two.

Matthew observed calmly.

He saw a small pool of blood that had been artificially dug in the middle of the platform.

In the pool of blood.

A terrifying shadow was rapidly growing from light to dark.

Then a crisp low laugh was heard.

Matthew looked back and found a solid iron cage behind him. The one squatting in the cage was the hungry devil he had met once before on Hume III.

Arlene Morgan!

"You must be very tired after such a long journey, right?"

"Would you like to enjoy lunch together?"

Arlene Morgan greeted the two with a smile.

Matthew seemed to be staring at her intently, but in fact, most of his attention was on the black shadow in the blood pool!

Arlene smiled even more brightly when she saw this:
"It seems that I am still a little insignificant."

"This Mr. Matthew seems to be more willing to talk to you, do you think so?"

"Father?"

The words fell.

A twisted figure staggered out of the pool of blood.

His body was several times thinner than that of an ordinary person, as if it was only as thick as a layer of skin, but no matter which angle Matthew looked at him from, he could see an extremely flat and smooth face.

He was a very handsome man, with a smile between his eyebrows and well-dressed, giving people a very gentlemanly feeling.

These superficial factors can be put aside.

Hidden beneath the man's thin skin was an extremely strong evil aura!

Matthew held his breath for a moment.

"Morgan?"

His voice was slightly distorted.

no way.

Even though Matthew has grown rapidly, he can still feel some pressure when facing a figure at the level of the Lord of the Nine Hells, even if the other party is just a projection.

"You're very calm." "You've grown a lot since the last time we met."

"Of course, what surprised me the most was your choice on the road to becoming a god. To be honest, if I were in your position, I probably wouldn't be able to give up the temptation of becoming a god and choose to go back to my own path."

"It's pretty good."

The person who came was the master of Morgan Purgatory——

Elphart Morgan.

Matthew stared at the other person intently and slowly adjusted his breathing.

A few seconds later.

He initially determined that this projection of Elfat Morgan was only of legendary strength. Although the aura was terrifying, its actual combat power might not be that strong.

This made Matthew feel a little more at ease.

"Thank you for the compliment."

He responded without arrogance:
"But you and your daughter are here, you are not here to chat with me, right?"

Morgan smiled and said:

"We have received an order from a lady. We must stop you here to prevent you from going forward and causing more trouble."

Matthew's heart moved:
"Aren't you here for the Earth's Core Dream?"

Morgan said leisurely:
"At first, yes."

"But we reached an agreement with the lady and got what we wanted."

"Of course we have to do something for the lady in return."

Matthew frowned and said:
"Who is that lady?"

Morgan smiled but said nothing:
"how?"

"You want to know?"

"In fact, I can also let you go directly, provided that you can offer better bargaining chips--"

"How about Paradise Lost, for example?"

Matthew said calmly:

"Paradise Lost has been destroyed by the Struuk Industries' singularity cannon."

Morgan sneered:
"This kind of talk may be fine to fool those stupid people, but it's a bit funny to use it to fool me."

"First of all, after the Ascension Incident, Paradise Lost did not leave any fragments in the multiverse."

"The power of the singularity cannon is indeed terrifying, but smart people can more or less calculate that it cannot completely destroy Paradise Lost. In that case, what about the fragments?"

"There are no fragments. Maybe someone collected all the fragments in advance."

"But it's more likely that Paradise Lost was not completely destroyed, it was just hidden."

"And the only survivor of the entire Ascension incident is you, Excellency. If Paradise Lost was hidden by someone, then it can only be in your hands."

Matthew blinked, his tone still calm:
“It’s not an outrageous guess.”

"But without evidence, it looks more like your imagination."

Morgan's expression remained unchanged:

"So, without Paradise Lost, Isabel actually asked you to fight the Starry Night God who possesses the High-Dimensional Shadow?"

"Then she really thinks highly of you..."

Speaking of it.

He said calmly:
"Don't underestimate the smart people in the world, Matthew."

Matthew's expression remained unchanged.

But I sighed secretly in my heart.

These old foxes are indeed more shrewd than each other. If they reveal a trace, the other party will be able to follow the clues and find out everything...

"Perhaps Your Excellency is indeed a wise man."

"But Paradise Lost is not in my possession."

Matthew's tone remained the same.

Morgan showed regret:

"In this case, there are only two options before you, Your Excellency."

"The first option is to stay here and chat with me for a few hours."

"As for the second way, here it is!"

He waved.

A three-dimensional portal appeared next to the blood pool.

Matthew leaned over and took a look——

It turned out to be a portal leading to the continent of Aindor!

"Leave Stuluk and return to your territory."

Morgan said:
"If I were you, I would definitely choose the second option. It not only avoids the disaster but also saves the fare to go home. Why not?"

Matthew said suspiciously:
"Will you be so kind as to let me leave?"

Morgan corrected:
"It's not kindness, it's politeness."

"I promised that lady that these are the options I'll give you. Since you're not willing to bribe me with Paradise Lost, the options will have to remain unchanged."

Matthew looked thoughtful.

He certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to walk into the portal opened by Morgan, even though all the information showed that there was nothing wrong with the portal.

As for staying to chat, that's nonsense.

What could a necromancer like him have to talk about with the devil leader?
"It seems like we can only force our way in..."

Matthew looked around, reconfirmed his surroundings, and then planned to give Melinda a look.

But at this time.

Morgan suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost!
"The look in your eyes tells me that you're planning to do something dishonest, hehe..."

"Then stay with me!"

The words fell.

The bloody shadow suddenly appeared behind Matthew.

Matthew couldn't dodge in time and felt his body become extremely heavy and his limbs became uncoordinated!

"Matthew!"

Melinda exclaimed.

It can be instantaneous.

Matthew's limbs were out of control and he ran all the way into the iron cage of the hungry devil!

boom!
The iron cage door was closed.

The feeling of out-of-control limbs disappeared, but Matthew still felt extremely heavy!

He glanced at the data column.

……

"Warning: You have been hit by Elfat Morgan's blasphemous words "Blood Puppet"!
Blood-skin Puppet: Anyone possessed by the Blood-skin Puppet will lose control of their limbs for a short period of time. During this period, if you suffer any damage, the Blood-skin Puppet will automatically fall off!
Warning: You are suppressed by the cage of the hungry devil Arlene Morgan, and your panel strength is suppressed to 1/10 of the original! 」

……

"Sit in the cage for a while."

Morgan's voice came from behind Matthew, sounding gentle and terrifying:
"I'm with you."

At this moment.

Suddenly, an impatient voice came from the side:

"Father!"

Matthew looked back.

But Arlene was clinging to his body, saliva was dripping from her mouth, and she had hung half of Matthew's arm!
"Leave far away!"

Morgan angrily shouted impatiently:
"This gentleman is not someone you can eat!"

Arlene was startled and shrank back to another corner of the cage, feeling wronged. There was a hint of caution in her voice:
"Can I have a few licks?"

"Just a few bites..."

"roll!!!!"

Morgan's tone was quite stern.

Arlene could only give up awkwardly.

But at this time.

Matthew's voice rang out:
"Isn't Mr. Morgan too strict?"

"Ms. Arlene only has such a small wish, are you unwilling to fulfill it?"

"I'm different. It's my honor to be licked and even eaten by Ms. Arlene."

talking.

He moved his butt and moved towards Arlene.

Arlene's eyes glowed green, her mouth opened involuntarily, and an irresistible hunger surged into Matthew's mind!
It was at that moment.

Matthew just felt his body relax!
