The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 512: Ten Days of Pursuit and Legendary Trial

……

The assassin's movements were as fast as lightning and he attacked like a dragon. That straight stab seemed ordinary, but it actually blocked all of Sener's space to dodge.

In that moment.

Sener had to either use the mandatory displacement skill or try to block this attack filled with dark power.

crucial moment.

Sen'er's shadow twisted sharply, and the dagger in his hand swung towards the intruder's weapon.

He seemed to want to defend himself.

But the expected sound of blades colliding did not come.

When it is.

A gray claw suddenly emerged from the mud at Sener's heel.

The claws appeared only after the shadows appeared.

But its speed is even faster than Shadow Assassin!
boom!
The touch of death gripped Shadow's entire body mercilessly.

Then Matthew snapped his fingers lightly.

The shadow assassin struggled and roared, then disappeared into thin air!
Sener heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Thank you."

He said.

Matthew waved his hand to remove the touch of death.

His expression remained indifferent, but a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes:
"A monster from the shadow plane."

"Which shadow lord did you offend?"

"He's being chased so badly, could it be Gai Lan?"

Sener's face didn't look good:
"It's more than an offense."

"Jasi Liwen and Gailan colluded with each other, and they teamed up to sell me out."

"Besides, due to some additional conflicts, Galen did not hesitate to launch a "10-day hunting order" against me..."

Ten-day hunting order?
Matthew's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This is the highest level wanted warrant in the Shadow Plane.

The so-called ten-day manhunt.

Of course, it does not refer to the specific number of days of pursuit.

Rather, it means that the shadow creatures will launch at least ten waves of attacks on the wanted persons.

The intensity of the raids is getting stronger with each wave.

It is said that in the history of Iendo.

A legendary warrior who had endured the most such pursuit orders blocked the first nine waves, but died in the tenth wave of assassinations.

Hence the nickname of the Ten-Day Hunting Order.

It implies that there will be a maximum of ten waves, and the wanted ones will definitely die!
"A ten-day hunt will greatly consume a shadow lord's reputation and resources in this plane."

"What on earth did you do?"

Matthew looked at Sener coldly:

"Gailan has never been a reckless man."

Sener did not give a direct answer:

"I know some secrets about Gasliwen and Galen."

"He killed me probably to silence me."

Matthew sneered:
"Don't bring such ambiguous statements to me."

"Furthermore……"

"As you can see, I am just a small wizard who is not even a legend. I have no intention of getting involved in the internal fighting between you legends."

"If there's nothing else, you can go."

Sener gritted his teeth and said:
"I really can't tell that secret directly now."

"But I promise, I'll be able to tell you soon!"

"The prerequisite is that I have to survive this ten-day hunting order!"

"I know that Paradise Lost won't collapse so easily. I know that thing is most likely in your hands. I am willing to continue to be your God!"

"As long as you admit that the divine contract we signed before is still valid, and let me hide in Paradise Lost to avoid the most difficult waves of the Ten-Day Hunting Order, and wait until the storm has temporarily passed, I will tell you Gasliwen and Garlan's plan!"

"This is also an opportunity for you!"

Seeing Matthew looked indifferent.

Sener was anxious:

"You took my Book of Balance..."

Matthew still said unceremoniously:

"Please leave."

"It's okay for Gasliwen, but I can't possibly offend Gailan for you."

"That's Twilight's creation. I can't afford to offend him."

But he was already thinking about how to get more out of Sen'er——

Gasliwen was Matthew's enemy.

Gailan hated Matthew even more because of some small spark he had before. After Isabel left, he would definitely cause trouble for Matthew.

They are all enemies anyway.

It would be better to take advantage of Gai Lan's power and make more money from Sener!
Matthew repeatedly rejected him.

Sener's expression was extremely ugly.

His body was extremely stiff, and he seemed to want to turn around and leave, but at that moment, he saw the half-smile on Matthew's face again.

that moment.

He suddenly reacted and laughed at himself:
"you see me."

"I've been hunted for so long that my mind is a little confused."

"Forget it. You definitely won't accept empty promises. Just ask for whatever bargaining chips you want."

"As long as you can help me escape this disaster, you can take whatever you want from me!"

Matthew smiled faintly:
"That's so embarrassing."

Sen Er sneered:
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This time I admit defeat."

"There are few people in Aindo right now who are not afraid of the revenge of Gasliwen and Galen..."

Matthew nodded:

"you are right."

"Everyone in Ain is in danger right now. No one except me is willing to protect you from this level of disaster."

"So, it's not too much for me to ask for all your belongings, right?"

Sener's face changed:
"There has to be a bottom line when taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"

Matthew couldn't help laughing:
"You want to talk to me about the bottom line?"

"What have you and your men - those criminals of the Silver Frost Brotherhood - done over the years? Is there any bottom line in anything?"

Sen Er suppressed his anger and said:
"I quit a long time ago!"

"Besides, I have committed many major crimes in my life, but believe it or not, those who died in my hands were all people who deserved to die!"

Matthew narrowed his eyes:

"For example, the gray dwarf city that you massacred?"

Sen'er said coldly:
"Those gray dwarves opened a road to the surface and have been trafficking in surface people."

"Not only that, their factories also continuously produce a special venom that is only effective against humans on the surface. They have killed countless people on the surface with that venom."

"The gray dwarves themselves are a race full of sins. As a surface person, am I wrong to destroy an underground city?"

Matthew continued:

"Windmill Town, Horse Village, Human Skin Kite."

This is also widely believed to be a bloody case in Senergan.

Sener said calmly:

"That was done by a necromancer in Baiyan City. I happened to be wandering around the East Coast during that time and got into a fight with him, so he took the opportunity to frame me."

Matthew didn’t believe it:

"Which necromancer?"

Sener did not hesitate:

"I don't know, but I guess it's the current Lord of Baiyan City, Rez."

Matthew asked again:

"What about that village in the north?"

"Do the ordinary people in the village also deserve this?"

Sener disagreed and said:
"Although the ordinary people in that village did nothing, their village chief secretly colluded with the barbarians. He secretly sent homeless children near the Death Triangle to the barbarians as sacrifices in exchange for the barbarians' promise not to invade."

"Many innocent boys and girls have been killed."

"I discovered this and was so angry that I just killed him. Is that a problem?"

Matthew sneered:
"You said it yourself, it was their village chief who colluded with the barbarians, so the whole village had to die?"

Sener said calmly:

"if not?"

"If you ask me, those so-called ordinary people who pretend not to see the evil deeds of the village chief are even more hateful!"

"They are all beneficiaries of the village chief's collusion with the barbarians."

"They clearly knew what the village chief was doing, but not only did they not stop him, they also helped cover it up while telling themselves they were innocent."

"Don't these disgusting guys deserve to die?!"

His expression was calm.

But his tone couldn't help but become excited:
"I also killed a lot of wood elves."

"You've been to the Jade Palace and dealt with the Wood Elves. Are you trying to tell me that the Wood Elves shouldn't die?"

"Do you think I'm full of sin?"

"maybe……"

"But I am just following the rules that this world taught me!"

"I killed those who deserved to be killed!"

"I am not wrong!"

Sener's tone was righteous and stern. If he had changed his clothes and face, Matthew might have thought that this guy was a holy knight!

clap clap clap!
Matthew applauded him softly:
"You are the most confident person I have ever seen in whitewashing his own crimes."

"Your eloquence and sophistry are also worth learning."

"Now that we've come to this, I'm too lazy to argue with you about stupid topics like "just because someone made a mistake doesn't mean they have to die."

"After all, this world has become so bad that in order to survive, all right and wrong can be put aside..."

Hear this.

Sener's face looked better.

But the next second.

But Matthew said calmly:

"But that doesn't mean I still think you're full of sin."

"I'm not trying to convince you."

"You can't convince me."

"There can only be the purest exchange of interests between us, understand?"

"Either you hand over all your wealth, and I will protect you..."

"Or, I'll provide you with one last way."

talking.

Under Sen'er's complicated gaze.

Matthew said leisurely:
"Give me some spirituality and a Horcrux."

"I will place it in Paradise Lost, so that if you are killed by Galen, I will know and resurrect you in Paradise Lost."

"Of course, the price of doing this is that after you are resurrected, you will always be my subordinate. You should know what this means."

Sen Er shuddered when he heard this, and then looked at Matthew with complicated eyes:

"Paradise Lost is still in your hands."

"But what if I give you the Horcrux and you just use it to threaten me?"

"You are a necromancer. I am definitely not as good as you in terms of souls."

Matthew shrugged:

"So I suggest you choose the first path."

"After all, money is something outside of one's body. With your ability, as long as you survive the disaster, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn it back in the future?"

Sener was silent.

After another two minutes, seeing that he couldn't make up his mind, Matthew was too lazy to talk to him anymore.

He threw a scroll over and ordered them to leave:
"When you have thought it through, you can activate this scroll and come find me."

"Now, please leave here."

He seemed to be careless when doing these actions, but while Sen'er was concentrating on the scroll, he secretly placed a spiritual force insect on the other's trouser leg.

After absorbing part of Giza's mental power.

Matthew's mental strength is now ridiculously strong, almost equivalent to that of a superior legendary being.

Sen'er didn't even notice it for a moment.

He took the scroll with a look of caution, then left the cemetery reluctantly.

Matthew closed his eyes.

A few minutes later.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"So you lost the scroll after all. Are you afraid that I will track you?"

"But the wandering insect is still here. I can sense where he goes!"

Then Matthew got into a little dilemma:

"Do you want to take advantage of the fight between Sen'er and Galen to pick up some spoils?"

"or……"

"Is it possible that Galen and Sener are playing a double act?"

Matthew thought about it.

Finally, I decided to be safe.

He would not take the initiative to interfere in the affairs between Sener and Gaelan.

Unless the former is willing to give in.

However, it must be said.

Sometimes things just turn out so strangely.

A day and a half later.

Matthew suddenly received an anonymous magic package.

Inside the package was a locked crystal magic box.

Through appearance.

Matthew could see that the box contained about seven extremely fine ceramic bottles.

The magic box is quite powerful.

If Matthew tried to force the lock, the contents might be moved.

"There are seven bottles in the crystal box, and only one of them is Sen'er's Horcrux."

"Will this magic lock only be triggered after Sen'er dies?"

"He is indeed an old fox..."

Matthew sighed.

He then placed it in Paradise Lost, and used the founder's authority to place three special seals in succession. He also asked Dark Peggy to check it regularly before he felt relieved.

Matthew then dealt with some trivial matters and began to plan his trip to Purgatory.

Of course, the fewer people who know about this trip to Purgatory, the better.

Matthew initially wanted to go deep into the enemy territory alone.

But Purgatory was not the material world after all, and he had not yet reached the legendary level. If he were alone, there would always be the risk of being stretched thin.

Then he decided to take some companions with him. The number of companions did not need to be too many, but the quality must be high, and it was best if they had specialized skills in various aspects.

Soon Matthew had a list in his mind.

"Let's call them first, one by one."

Think so.

Matthew stepped into the teleportation array.

Tens of seconds later.

He appeared among a black mountain range filled with water vapor.

This is the most northwestern part of the continent of Aiendor, known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes. Now it is the kingdom of demon warlocks.

Aisidu.

Before this.

The Earth Society that left Watcher's Heights moved to the oasis northwest of Aisidu.

The druids expanded the border and planted trees while resisting the demons pouring out of the cracks in the northwest plane.

Before and after the Great Rip event.

The Earth Society has also encountered several major crises.

Fortunately, at the critical moment.

A demiplane that was originally covered with trees was integrated into the northwest of the Kingdom of a Thousand Lakes.

This forest, which the druids called the Forest of Miracles, provided them with great protection and shelter.

In addition, the demon warlocks also contributed.

The Earth Society was able to successfully overcome the difficulties.

Today, they are still fighting against the demons under the leadership of two archdruids.

Obviously.

This will be a long war.

The above is the information that Matthew summarized from the correspondence between the two archdruids and Loran.

of course.

And Eli’s.

It’s just that the style of this ancient tiger’s letters is always different from others.

Matthew can only extract useful information from it more carefully.

What’s interesting is.

Matthew learned from Eli's letter that the other party's fiancée -

That is, Queen Snow of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom repeatedly postponed the wedding that both parties had agreed upon.

I don’t know what the other party is thinking.

Matthew has actually always been curious about the situation here, and now he finally has time to come and take a look in person!

The Land of a Thousand Lakes is just as its name suggests.

The environment here is composed of a variety of lakes and mountain islands between the lakes.

The lake here is very deep.

The mountains on the island are also very high.

This results in a huge vertical spatial gap in Aisidu.

It also provides excellent material for various spectacular views.

Matthew flew slowly above the lake, quietly admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains.

He did not go directly to the capital of Assidu.

Instead, he planned to visit the druids in the northwest first.

"The spell coordinates that Luo Lan left were too vague. I almost lost it during the teleportation."

"I have to personally build two beacons in the Forest of Miracles and the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes, so that it will be convenient for my next visit..."

Between thoughts.

All the mountains and lakes were left behind by Matthew.

The yellow land appeared in front of us.

There seemed to be a green forest at the end of the land. The two sides seemed out of place, as if they were not from the same world.

"Someone?"

Matthew heard some noise during the flight, so he lowered his altitude and habitually put on camouflage.

By the way, he also wore the badge of the Earth Society.

After landing.

Matthew immediately walked towards the direction where the voice came from.

Before he could get close.

Then I heard a loud shout from the side:
"Get out of here!"

"This is not a place you tree spirits can get close to!"

The person who spoke was a burly man. His facial features were much more exaggerated than those of the Eindo people in Middle-earth. The most profound first impression he gave people was the huge copper ring on his nose.

One of his ears was also covered with seven small copper rings.

Demon warlock?

Matthew frowned.

He pointed to the emblem on his robe:

"I am not a dryad."

Unexpectedly, the other party laughed and said:
"I'm scolding you tree elves!"

at this time.

The few people who had gathered together also came over.

Matthew could tell at a glance that the group of six was led by a middle-aged female sorceress with scantily clad clothes and a hot body.

The woman first glanced at Matthew impatiently.

Immediately, my eyes lit up:
"I changed my mind."

"Don't chase him away yet, um, tie him up and then feed him medicine!"

A purple-haired, effeminate demon warlock nearby hesitated and said:

"This boy seems to be a druid who recently joined the Earth Society."

"Let's just get rid of him..."

"Will that tigress come to cause trouble for us?"

The sorceress laughed and said:

"Mores..."

"Are you questioning my charm?"

"Feed him the potion, the maximum dose. It only takes one night, and he will be completely obedient to me. He might even want to drink my urine."

“By then, even if the tigress from the Earth Society comes knocking on our door, we can still say that this was a voluntary intercourse.”

"I still have to ask her people to clear my name!"

"Hahaha……"

The sorceress laughed unbridled laughter.

The other warlocks also laughed along with Lang.

at the same time.

The two most muscular demon warlocks double-teamed Matthew from the left and right.

It was also during this period.

Matthew saw a figure that was originally surrounded by them on the ground -

He was a handsome young man with tears on his face.

Matthew sensed the power of druid in him!

"Are the demon warlocks of Isidur so hostile to the druids of the Earth Society?"

Realize that the situation here may be different from what you imagined.

Matthew stopped pretending.

He snapped his fingers and removed his druid decorations, returning to his necromancer form.

The warlocks were surprised to see this.

But soon.

The sorceress continued to laugh and said:
"how?"

"Is a druid so scared that he has to disguise himself as a necromancer to scare people?"

"I'm not afraid."

"Little darling, you are destined to be my dog..."

talking.

She quickly pounced on Matthew, and a layer of red glow appeared on her body.

That is the power of the devil!
Matthew was too lazy to talk to them anymore.

When it is.

A roar like thunder rang out:

"roll!"

In an instant.

All the warlocks' bodies became stiff!
Under the influence of a harsh shout.

They fell backwards involuntarily, their limbs and facial muscles twitching wildly!

The sorceress who rushed to the front was also the most seriously affected.

Soon.

Matthew smelled a strong odor of urine.

He took one look at the sorceress's robes, shook his head, and walked away.

Under the horrified gaze of the warlocks.

Matthew gently picked up the boy with bruises all over his body and quickly disappeared from their sight.

After a few minutes.

The edge of the forest of miracles.

"Okay, we're safe now. What's your name?"

Matthew put down the frightened boy:
"Why are those warlocks bothering you?"

The boy swallowed and looked at Matthew with some fear in his eyes:
"My name is Beibei, and I'm a druid, um..."

"Those warlocks just now came to the edge of the forest specifically to cause trouble for us druids."

"They didn't like us, from the beginning."

"The adults told us to be restrained, saying that this was the will of the Archdruid. We have been restrained enough, but those warlocks still like to take it out on us..."

"Ah, thank you so much for what you did just now. If they caught me, I would be teased by her for several days again..."

talking.

The boy's face turned red as if he had recalled some embarrassing experience.

Matthew asked strangely:
"Isn't the relationship between the Earth Society and the Thousand Lakes Country pretty good?"

The boy scratched his head:

"I heard it seems pretty good."

"But it's actually not the case at all. Ever since I came to this world, I have been bullied by them, even when I was at the edge of the forest."

"It seems that some warlocks feel that our big brother Tiger has taken away their queen, and they are very unwilling to accept this."

"It's inconvenient for them to go looking for trouble with Big Brother Tiger, so they can only go looking for trouble with other druids, especially little druids like me..."

Big Brother Tiger?

Eli?

Matthew's expression became a little subtle.

Then he chatted with the boy for a few more words.

After learning about the local situation, Matthew declined the boy's invitation and went into the forest alone.

quickly.

Relying on the Earth Society's unique communication method, he met the two great druids in the Forest of Miracles.

Miracle Dream.

Open lakeside.

Voice of the Earth Han Miaoqin brewed a pot of tea.

Silver Wolf Cassel also enthusiastically handed Matthew a few bottles of newly brewed wine.

After a few pleasantries.

Matthew got straight to the point and asked three questions:

"How's the battle going on the northwest front?"

"What is the true relationship between the Earth Society and Ai Sidu now?"

"Why was Eli and Queen Xueji's wedding delayed?"

Miaoqin and Cassel looked at each other.

The former smiled softly and said:
"It seems that Mr. Matthew encountered something on the way here?"

Matthew nodded and told the story of the sorceress bullying the druid boy.

Miaoqin frowned when she heard this.

Cassell couldn't help but hit his thigh:
"We are fighting on the front lines, but these warlocks are sneaking around and bullying the children who are stationed in the rear!"

"I've heard of similar things before, and when I asked about it, the kids told us it wasn't a big deal."

"After that, I talked to Ms. Xue Ji several times, and she promised me that something like this would not happen again..."

Miaoqin snorted coldly:
"You still believe she knew nothing?"

"Maybe she secretly instructed all these things!"

Cassel smiled awkwardly and said no more.

Matthew listened patiently.

After a while.

Miaoqin organized her words and explained them one by one:

"The northwest defense line can still be held stable for now, thanks to the newly born miracle dream. It is difficult for demons to enter the interior of the forest. They can only go around from the south side, but there is an ancient seal of the Thousand Lakes Country there. The ancient seal there was used to deal with the demon lord Fernance. Ordinary demons of course cannot break through it."

"However, in order to deal with the demons, the Druids of the Earth Society and the Wildfire Sons of the Miracle Forest have been dragged to the northwest defense line, and our rear is quite empty."

"I thought it would be okay to leave my back to Queen Xueji."

"But now it seems that those ungrateful warlocks simply want to use us as tools to fight against the devil!"

Matthew and Miaoqin have dealt with each other several times.

The archdruid has always had a mild temper and rarely gets angry even when talking about demons, but this time, when talking about the Snow Queen and the demon warlocks.

Her attitude was quite dissatisfaction.

Matthew pondered:
"So when Queen Xueji invited you to go north, she wanted you to serve as a buffer between Ai Sidu and the wasteland in the west?"

Miaoqin nodded:

"That's about it."

“She taps into our yearning and desire for nature and order.”

"She most likely also took advantage of Eli..."

Speaking of it.

She suddenly stopped and asked Cassel:

"By the way, when does Eli's trial start?"

Cassel replied solemnly:
"In just half a month!"

"For Queen Xue Ji, he wants to challenge the mount of the Lord of the Night—"

"That's an evil dragon from the East Continent!"

Matthew asked strangely:
"What trial?"

Cassel replied:
"Legendary Trial."
