A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 259 Origin, the legend of Death Fear Cemetery!

 …

 “I hit her.”

Rhaegar murmured uneasily:

"I have never hit her, but I obviously lost control today. This was originally my own problem, but it got Sif implicated. I really deserve to die!"

“You may not know, Matthew, that I have become irritable, irritable, and impulsive these days.

The official documents piling up my desk and the tedious meetings with representatives from other territories made me very tired.

 I couldn't sleep all night long.

 I became very concerned about the gossip outside and what others said about me.

to be honest.

 I think my nerves are a little out of whack.

  But I shouldn't make excuses.

 The fact is that I hurt my daughter.

  I'm a bastard! "

 Said.

He covered his face with his hands, and his muscles tensed up. Matthew could hear a slight sob, but the sound quickly disappeared and was replaced by extremely heavy breathing.

Rhaegar's mental condition appears to be unstable.

Matthew felt nervous.

 But he remained calm on the surface:

"Calm down, Rhaegar, we all know that you love Sif very much, don't deny yourself too much because of a drastic move."

“We all make mistakes, don’t we?”

 While speaking.

 He quietly opened the oak field.

The oak tree is the son of nature and the most representative link.

 The oak realm naturally has the power to soothe people's hearts.

 This is also the reason why Matthew tried to open the oak field when he encountered a fight with a woman.

The last time we attacked, Oak Realm came back with a huge defeat.

 But this time it has achieved obvious results.

 Rega's mood immediately stabilized.

His hands covering his face no longer trembled, and his voice returned to normal:

 “Matthew, I don’t understand what’s wrong with me.”

“Even my mistress said I seemed to be a different person…”

Matthew asked patiently:

 “What did she say?”

Rhaegar sighed and said:

“She said that I have become so brave that I don’t need to apply sword oil when I work. I feel like I am 20 years younger.”

Matthew’s head is full of black lines:

 “Isn’t this a good thing?”

Rhaegar loosened his hands and said seriously:

"Of course not. If I were only 5 years younger, I could understand her as a compliment to me, but at 20 years old...I feel like something is wrong!"

Matthew silently sensed the changes in Rega.

 To make him relax completely.

Matthew simply made a joke:

“What? Is it because you’re nervous about becoming a king?”

Unexpectedly, Rhaegar nodded seriously:

 “Do you think I’m king’s material?”

Matthew muttered:

“There have not been many kings in the history of Irondor, and the rules of the Alliance of Seven Saints also do not stipulate what a king looks like, so your confusion is a bit unfounded.”

Rhaegar sighed and said:

 “But I still feel that I am not fit to be a king.”

"I asked little Paton about this. He also thought that I was not suitable to be a king. He said that I was suitable to be a hero."

“If a Rolling Stone Kingdom is really established on this land in the future, I really don’t know how to govern it so that I can live up to everyone’s expectations of me.”

 Matthew nodded secretly in his mind.

The Battle of Moss Green Hills established Rolling Stone's dominance in the central part of the South.

 The news has spread these days.

 Many people are aware that Rhaegar is about to become the first king of the Rolling Stone Kingdom.

 The environment and interpersonal relationships he faced have undergone drastic changes.

This may be one of the reasons for his mood change.

 In the final analysis, Rhaegar is still too kind and has too heavy a psychological burden.

　　It’s not just Rhaegar.

In fact, Matthew asked himself that he was not made to be a king.

 People who are too kind are not suitable to be leaders.

 What’s more, the situation in this world is extremely special.

 The king is more like a doormat between the mages and the people at the bottom.

It's normal for Rhaegar to be unsure.

Matthew thought for a while, then comforted him and said:

"Although your character and nature may not be qualified for the duties of a king, you have Zeller, you have me, and the other people in Rolling Stone."

 “We are all with you, Rhaegar.”

"The king may not be perfect. Sometimes, if you can find enough helpers you can trust, you can even become a spiritual symbol rather than the helmsman who actually controls the direction of the kingdom."

 “The choice is yours.”

Rhaegar said gloomily:

“It’s just because the choice is mine, that’s why it’s so annoying.”

 Matthew shrugged.

 He patted Rhaegar on the shoulder:

“Some choice is better than none, isn’t it?”

Rhaegar nodded solemnly.

 He looked thoughtful.

 A few seconds later.

 He suddenly asked:

“Do you think that if I become the first king of the Rolling Stone Kingdom, will Melinda come back to remarry and ask to be the queen?”

"who?"

 Matthew did not react at once.

 “Melinda, Sif’s mother.”

Rhaegar explained.

Matthew scratched his head. He was surprised by Rega's thinking, but when faced with the other person's eyes eager to return his gaze, he still said bravely:

 “I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.”

Rhaegar touched his chin:

“I don’t think it’s appropriate either. That woman is too selfish and snobbish. But if Melinda is not the queen, then who should I choose to be the queen?”

 “They told me a king must have a queen.”

 “What if the new queen treats Sif badly?”

 He looked gloomy, as if he had foreseen all the difficulties that would come after becoming king.

Matthew said angrily:

 “Can you think about these things after you become king?”

“Speaking of which, you haven’t told me what happened to Sif?”

 “Why did you have a dispute?”

Rhaegar paused and said with some pain:

 “The reason is that Sif wants to learn magic.”

Matthew was surprised and said:

“Hasn’t she already awakened her bloodline? Could it be that the awakening failed?”

Rhaegar shook his head:

“With the help of the Holy Grail of Sin, she successfully awakened, but she hated her blood as a devil so much that she was unwilling to accept this awakened power.”

“Eh, speaking of it, it’s all my fault. Because of my experiences when I was young, I hate and am wary of most devils.”

“I wanted to educate Sif into a kind-hearted devil descendant, but she was a bit too kind, and she even began to hate her own blood!”

"You may not know that during the awakening process, the Holy Grail of Sin tried to tempt Sif to fall, but it had the opposite effect. She scolded the Holy Grail bloody. Since then, she has been even more unwilling to accept the power after awakening. ”

 Such a thing happened to Sif.

 Matthew was not surprised.

 He had sensed Sif's rejection of devils before, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

 “Then what spell does she want to learn?”

"Do you need my help?"

Matthew asked.

Rhaegar sighed again:

“If she came to you to learn spells, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be so angry.”

“She wants to go to the floating city in the far north to learn illusions, enchantments, and protective field spells.”

“She seems intent on being a guardian rather than harming other people’s existence.”

Matthew nodded:

"This is not entirely a bad thing. At least it shows that Sif has her own ideas. She is a very independent girl."

Rhaegar immediately showed dissatisfaction when he heard this:

"Didn't you hear the crux of the problem? She's going to the north! And it's not the north like Watcher's Heights or Jade Cangting. It's the far north of the North. It's about 40,000 kilometers away from Rolling Stone Town in a straight line. !”

 “How can I trust her to go to such a far away place to study?!”

Matthew coughed slightly:

“40,000 kilometers may just be the distance of a portal.”

"But why did she come up with the idea of ​​going to the floating city in the far north? Do you have a way to make an alliance?"

Rhaegar looked even more dissatisfied:

"Ever since the battle at Moss Green Hills, people from the Seven Saints Alliance's Crystal Palace came to contact me and said they could arrange a few magic apprenticeships for Rolling Stone Town. After Sif learned about this, she contacted them privately. People told her that she has a certain amount of magic talent. Although she missed the best age, with their support, she is qualified to study in the floating city in the far north. "

“Speaking of which, it seems like you haven’t cared about Sif for a long time recently.”

“Her quarrel with me this time must be related to your bad mood caused by not contacting her, so when will you go and talk to her?”

 Crystal Palace?

People from Suriel?

Matthew thought to himself.

 However, when he heard the next two paragraphs of Rhaegar's words, he couldn't hold himself any longer:

“Wait a minute, weren’t you the most opposed to my contact with her before?”

Rhaegar was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

 He coughed:

 “You also said, that was before.”

“The so-called time has changed and the world has changed. That’s it. What do you think of Sif?”

Matthew pretended to be dumbfounded:

 “A very good girl. You are lucky to have such a sensible and well-behaved girl. I am happy for you, Rhaegar.”

Rhaegar’s eyes gradually turned bad:

“Don’t deliberately misinterpret it. I know you understand what I mean. Do you need me to put it more plainly?”

 What would you think if you were asked to marry Sif? "

He looked at Rhaegar with an expression that said, "If you dare to refuse, I will steal the big sword and kill you."

Matthew secretly lamented that men are really fickle.

 “Sorry, I don’t think so.”

 It’s all right. Rega’s threatening gaze, Matthew said truthfully:

 “I quite like Sif, but this is not enough.”

“I like you too, and we are very good friends, but that doesn’t mean you can naturally become my father-in-law.”

 “That’s all my answer.”

Rhaegar seemed angry after hearing this.

 But after a while.

His attitude softened like a deflated ball.

 He lowered his head slightly:

 “Sorry, Matthew, I crossed a line.”

 “I’ve really been a little dizzy lately…”

Matthew raised his hand to stop his apology and said with a smile:

“I don’t care if you cross the line, as long as you don’t do it next time.”

"I will talk to Sif, but the main purpose is to confirm her thoughts. You don't need to count on me to stop her from studying."

"I believe you know her better than I do. She is actually a girl who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. When she makes up her mind, no one can persuade her to come back."

Rhaegar nodded silently.

 He looked depressed.

“Matthew, I feel like I’m going to be a bad person…”

 He murmured.

 Facing the confused and anxious Rhaegar.

Matthew suddenly said:

 “Did you bring the Holy Grail of Sin?”

Rhaegar hesitated for a moment:

 “In the lord’s palace.”

Matthew said decisively:

"Give it back to me. I brought this thing out of the tomb in the Blood Flag Kingdom. I only lent it to Sif temporarily for her awakening. Now that the matter is over, it's time for you to return it to me!"

Rhaegar seemed to want to resist.

He struggled for a while, and finally said a little aggrievedly:

 “Okay, I’ll give it back to you next time we meet.”

Matthew looked at him calmly:

 “It’s on you now, isn’t it?”

 “Leave it to me, Rhaegar, trust me, I won’t harm you.”

Rhaegar suddenly looked surprised.

Soon this surprise turned into pain and suffering.

 He held his head with both hands:

"Yes, I obviously have it with me, why did I say it was in the lord's mansion?"

 While speaking.

 He took out the Holy Grail of Sin with some hesitation.

boom!

 A muffled sound.

Peggy sneaked in and knocked Rhaegar unconscious with a bone blade.

Matthew quickly grasped the Holy Grail in his hand.

at the same time.

 His other hand has already grasped the two divinities!

 In an instant.

 A powerful mental shock stimulated his mind.

 Seems like he wants to interfere with his decision-making.

 But Matthew was unmoved.

Relying on his divine resistance, Matthew went to the warehouse next door, took out a larger pure lead box, and threw the Holy Grail into it.

 Snap.

 The influence of the Holy Grail of Sin was suddenly greatly weakened.

“Find a place to bury it, and guard it personally for the next two days so that no one can get close to it.”

 Matthew asked Peggy with a serious expression.

Peggy nodded.

 She knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately went to carry out Matthew's mission.

quickly.

The evil aura permeated by the Holy Grail of Sin dissipated in a corner of the cemetery.

Matthew glanced at the data column.

 …

 Hint: You sense that your lord Rhaegar is suffering from the influence of two alien wills.

The source of one of the forces is the Holy Grail of Sin. This object is the devil's treasure. It can assist underage devils to complete their awakening, and can also induce mature devils to degenerate a second time and become even more terrifying purgatory devils!

Rhaegar is falling…

 You interrupted Rhaegar's fall!

 The source of another force is suspected to be the Crazy Second Hand!　　　　…

　　"Rega has indeed become a favorite..."

Matthew sighed secretly.

Rhaegar's recent mood change may be related to the increasing pressure, but the Holy Grail of Sin has played a role in it.

 This was only realized by Matthew after Rhaegar mentioned this devil's holy object.

And today his sudden behavior of coming to see me was also very unusual.

This is only possible because Rhaegar's subconscious is resisting the erosion of the Holy Grail of Sin.

 His subconscious was asking Matthew for help!

 “What kind of holy grail of **** does it fail to induce the daughter to fall, so she goes to mess with her father?”

Matthew was filled with contempt for this treasure.

 As for the influence of the crazy second hand.

 Matthew was not surprised.

 After all, on the battlefield in the mossy green hills last time, the Crazy Second Hand could be said to have saved Rhaegar's life.

 There must have been some bonds between the two parties.

Matthew could detect that the impact of the Mad Seconds on Rega was extremely weak. Judging from the layout, it was still in the early stages of preparation and should not have stimulated Rega's emotional changes.

 But it is still a hidden danger.

“Faced with these high-level beings, it is really difficult for ordinary people to resist. Even if they can avoid their powerful blows, it is difficult to resist the subtle stimulation.”

 At this time.

Matthew finally understood why Isabel wanted to take two divinities from him!

 This is not just paving the way for Matthew's future.

It is also to protect the current Matthew.

 There are no two divinities.

 When Matthew faces these terrifying entities, he may be completely suppressed just like he faced the evil beings at that time!

"With two copies of divinity in hand, I myself will not be eroded, but people around me may still be affected. Fortunately, there are undead in the cemetery. Even if they are affected, I will know it immediately. The natural units in the oak forest are more resistant to these, so you don’t have to worry about backyard fires for the time being.”

Matthew thought quickly in his mind.

 But the situation over at Rolling Stone was not so optimistic.

Mortals led by Rhaegar can hardly resist the invasion by various means of gods or dusk creations.

 This thing is impossible to guard against.

“Unless their willpower and related resistance can be improved, I will go to the library to look through the information in the next two days to see if there is any good way to resist the erosion of willpower.”

 Matthew let out a long breath.

Thinking about it carefully, there is actually no need for him to worry so much.

 At least I have discovered the problem now.

And Rega's subconscious was also trying to resist.

“Whether it’s a **** or a creature of dusk, if you want to sneak into Rolling Stone Town, you have to get through me!”

Matthew thought with determination.

 In the middle of the night.

Rhaegar woke up, covering his head.

He touched his head, then subconsciously touched his butt, and looked nervously at Matthew who was reading a book in front of him:

 “What did you do to me?”

“The Holy Grail of Sin and the Mad Second Hand distorted your thinking, I only made a small correction to it.”

 Matthew did not hide the fact from Rhaegar:

“At present, the influence from the Holy Grail of Sin has been eliminated by me. The influence from the Crazy Second Hand is relatively weak. I will remove it at the appropriate time.”

Rhaegar saw Matthew with a confused look on his face:

 “Are you sure you’re not trying to defend your criminal behavior?”

 “You just attacked the lord!”

Matthew shrugged:

“Peggy did it, go find her.”

 Regaton suddenly became very generous:

“Ms. Paige has always been reasonable. She must have her reasons for doing this.”

This guy obviously also knows that Paige and Sif have an excellent relationship, and maybe he can help repair the relationship between father and daughter.

Then Rhaegar held his head and thought for a while.

 He asked Matthew hesitantly:

“I probably feel that the power from the devil is boiling in my body. No wonder I was so excited and impulsive before, and also seemed irritable and irritable!”

"But you said that there is still the influence of the Crazy Second Hand in my body? Isn't that a creation of dusk? Such a terrifying existence, do you really have a way to eliminate its influence?"

Matthew shook his head uncertainly:

"Lets see."

 “I’ll talk to Him in person if I get the chance.”

Rhaegar looked at Matthew in shock.

 At first he thought Matthew was bragging.

  But quickly.

 He could read the confidence and calmness on Matthew's face.

“Has this guy grown into a powerful enough being to talk to the creatures of dusk?”

Rhaegar was shocked and delighted at the same time.

 “This matter is really troublesome for you!”

 “My tone just now didn’t seem to be very good either…”

 He apologized to Matthew a little sheepishly.

Soon he sighed softly:

“Even Twilight Creation is eyeing Rolling Stone Town. Why is there so much bad news lately?”

Matthew blinked lightly after hearing this:

 “At least there is good news.”

Rhaegar hurriedly asked:

"What?"

Matthew smiled:

 “Your mistress is not complimenting you, she is telling you the truth.”

Rhaegar smiled awkwardly:

 “You are right.”

 But the next second he became sad:

"But now that I have lost the blessing of the Holy Grail of Sin, I may have to use sword oil next time."

“By the way, Matthew, do you mages have any way to allow me to enjoy the benefits of the Holy Grail of Sin without being influenced by it and becoming so crazy?”

Rhaegar looked at Matthew expectantly.

Matthew turned over the information in his hand and glared at him angrily:

“Even if I have it, I will use it myself instead of giving it to you.”

Rhaegar asked rhetorically:

 “You don’t have a woman, do you need this thing?”

Matthew gave him a meaningful look:

“Maybe it will be available soon.”

Rhaegar seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became furious. He angrily rushed towards Matthew, as if he wanted to beat him.

Matthew casually popped up a gray ball of light.

　　咩~~!

Rhaegar shrank and turned into a goat.

"Peggy...ah no, 47, help see the guests off, just send them to Rolling Stone Town. Bing, you can lead the way for him."

Matthew gave the order.

  Death Knight 47 and A Bing both arrived.

  47 Skillfully carried the goat on his shoulders, he walked out nimbly, saying something novel as he walked:

 “This goat feels good, Master.”

 “I suddenly felt that it might as well be a sheep knight...”

 The goat trembled violently when he heard this.

  Unfortunately, he was clamped hard by 47, unable to move, and sent all the way out of the cemetery.

 …

 The afternoon of the next day.

 Matthew came to the place where Peggy was guarding.

 He dug up again the box of pure lead that contained the Holy Grail of Sin.

 The two of them arrived at the second floor of the cemetery—

 It was during these days that Matthew was away.

 The new round of expansion of the cemetery has basically been completed.

 The second floor expansion is completed.

 In area.

The second underground floor of the cemetery is smaller than the first floor, only about 2/3 of the space.

  Matthew did not forget to extend the scope of influence of the ceremonial ground to this place when he returned.

 He re-adjusted the distribution of cemetery units.

The underground layer is mostly filled with skeletons or zombies with low combat effectiveness, as well as a large number of corpses.

 In this way.

 The original first floor became a veritable cemetery.

 The second underground floor is where a large number of elite units gather.

Matthew’s own activity space also moved here.

 He not only opened up his own workshop and living room here, but also a warehouse, a secret room and so on.

At the moment he took Peggy to the secret room.

 At this time, in the corner of the secret room, an extremely rare magic circle has been drawn in advance with pink ink.

  Gold powder is sprinkled around the circle.

 The outside is also wrapped with a circle of sun stones.

Matthew placed the lead box in the center, and then said to Peggy:

 “Let’s do it.”

 “I’ll help you.”

Peggy nodded.

 She stretched out a cow's hoof and pressed **** the pure lead box that gradually began to tremble.

 The next second.

 An extremely abundant and sacred power emerged from Peggy.

 Her palms flashed with endless white light.

 “Hiss, hiss…”

"If you dare to seal me, you will suffer eternal disaster!"

 There was an extremely hoarse sound coming from the lead box.

 Matthew and Peggy were both unmoved.

 Evil seal!

This ability originally came from the moonlight goddess Asya, who gave it to Matthew and left it in the demigod.

 Later Matthew gave this person to Peggy.

 This ability was therefore transferred to the Tauren Battle Angel.

Hence, Peggy is the main force in the action at hand.

Matthew only needs to recite some auxiliary spells and ensure that there are no other situations around him.

 Ten seconds later.

 The magic circle in the secret room glowed with thick blood.

Peggy pressed hard.

 In the hysterical roar of the Holy Grail of Sin.

 The pure lead box sank 1/3 like the bottom of a magic circle!

That moment.

A large number of space cracks appeared around the magic circle.

These cracks are very fine.

 There are a lot of little devils coming out of it.

  Matthew, who was well prepared, did not give them a chance to cause trouble.

 The pale hand swept over like a broom, quickly wiping out the weak little devils!

 Another ten seconds passed.

Even bigger space-time cracks began to appear around the magic circle.

 This time.

 What emerges from the cracks is a higher level of devil!

Peggy was concentrating on pushing the box down.

 Matthew frowned.

 Preparing to use more powerful spells.

But who would have thought that when the new round of devils saw the formation at the scene, they frowned faster than Matthew.

 “Wrong place!”

 The leading devil loudly clarified.

 In the blink of an eye.

 All the devils have withdrawn!

 “You cowardly traitors!”

 “You are disgraceful to Baator’s will!”

 The Holy Grail of Sin gave its final roar.

 The surface of the pure lead box also began to distort violently.

finally.

 With Peggy’s efforts.

 The box completely disappeared into the depths of the magic circle.

 In addition to one more sealing rune in the secret room.

 Everything else disappeared without a trace.

 …

 Hint: You and your partner Peggy successfully sealed the devil's holy artifact "The Holy Grail of Sin"!

 Your regional legendary level +1 (nine levels of purgatory)

 Your racial legend +1 (Devil/Higher Demon)

 Successfully used a demonic seal and sealed a sinful object.

 Peggy’s will +1;

 You gain a small amount of XP! "

 …

“Warning: Your graveyard is cursed by the Holy Grail of Sin.” The legend of Deathdread Cemetery. "

The legend of Deathdread Cemetery: The Holy Grail of Sin spread a lot of confusing rumors when it was sealed. It tempted adventurers from all over Irondor and even other planes to come to your cemetery to steal the "sealed Holy Grail". ".

Your cemetery has gained three points of architectural legendaryness!

 Architectural Legend - Death Fear Cemetery: In the rumors spread by the Holy Grail of Sin, you are described as a necromancer who does all evil, and your cemetery is called the terrifying "Death Fear Cemetery"!

Those who sense the rumor of the Holy Grail of Sin will think that your cemetery is full of treasures, but also full of dangers.

 Because the Holy Grail of Sin has a powerful power to confuse people.

 Hence over a long period of time.

 The legend of Deathdread Cemetery will continue to be spread throughout Irondor, especially in the underground world.

 Adventurers most likely mistakenly believe that they can live forever as long as they obtain the "sealed Holy Grail".

 And the premise of all this.

Of course, I am challenging you, who is the owner of the cemetery and is cursed as the "Death Fear Mage". "

 …

 “What the hell?”

 “Am I the boss?”

 Matthew looked at Yile.

  15 minutes later.

Then the black warrior Argus came to report:

“Lord Matthew, a mixed force of cavemen and harpies appeared one kilometer away on the second underground floor.”

“They are coming towards the cemetery with great momentum, and they seem to want to attack the city!”

 …
