A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 286: PLAY of the gods?

Chapter 286 PLAY of the Gods?

…

“Disaster?”

Roland snorted softly:

“You mean, my hair will fall out like yours?”

Carmela squinted her eyes:

“A bad attitude and bad jokes are just ways to hide your inner panic.”

Roland laughed dryly and said:

“Is this also what your God told you?”

Carmela shook her head decisively:

"No!"

“This is a conclusion drawn from my own observations.”

"To be honest, I don't like people like you. You are secretive and not frank enough."

“Because I was too afraid of losing, I simply wrapped myself up in layers of disguise.”

“On the surface he seems to be living a cool life, but in reality he is a coward who dares not even tell the truth or admit it.”

"However, you have done a great job in practicing the legendary way. As a deceitful demigod, you must have successfully deceived yourself, which can be regarded as fulfilling your pursuit."

Matthew shook his head inwardly.

Loland is naturally not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated, but Carmela is also not easy to deal with.

Luolan's face turned gloomy and uncertain after the red-robed priest said this.

Matthew thought that Lorraine and Carmela's relationship would develop like that between him and Richard.

But who knows what will happen next.

Luo Lan, whose face was ashen, suddenly smiled in relief:

"You are right. It seems that the **** behind you does have two brushes."

“It’s just that everyone has their own way of life. Escape is shameful but useful. If being a coward can make me live a happier life, then why not?”

“After all, in my eyes, isn’t it also a form of self-deception to believe in religion and place your hopes on the power and mercy of others?”

“I can feel that you and I are actually the same kind of people.

Carmela frowned.

But this time she did not open her mouth to refute, she just said lightly:

“You don’t understand the greatness of the God of the First Moon, so naturally you can’t understand where my faith comes from.”

"But you are right about one thing. We do have similarities. I may also be an evader, although I don't remember it now."

Carmela’s eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy:

“I often wonder why there are so many brothers and sisters in the church—people who are better than me, more religious than me, and more talented than me… But why am I the only one who has survived to this day?”

"Is there a possibility that in a certain period of time before I fell asleep, a huge disaster occurred in our country, and everyone sacrificed their lives generously in the face of that disaster, but only I chose to live in an ignoble existence, and then started to live again What about recovery in this day and age?”

"I can't rule out this possibility. There is even a sign deep in my heart that I can come to the current world not because of how special I am, but because of some other bad things."

Her tone was very low.

Matthew can actually understand Carmela's mood. He woke up tens of millions of years later, and the partners he once fought with have disappeared, and even his own memory is incomplete.

It is inevitable to feel lost from time to time in this situation.

　　Seems to feel Carmela's low mood.

Loran’s aggression has also been greatly reduced.

He looked at Carmela with subtle eyes:

“You don’t belong to this world?”

Carmela nodded:

“I come from a history that is almost unknown. If I want to find the ancient atmosphere, I want to find evidence that I once existed.”

Roland touched his chin, his eyes brightened:

“You are not the only person who does not belong to this world, and there is no need to feel so lonely.”

Matthew's heart moved.

Could it be that Roland also knew his origin?

But Carmela quickly changed the topic:

“Don’t say you don’t have these anymore, let’s sign the contract first.”

Lorain agreed.

Matthew took it out and prepared the contract, and then looked at the two of them in surprise:

“So you have recognized each other?”

The two of them said in unison:

“Not even close!”

But this did not prevent them from signing their names on the alliance contract drawn up by Matthew.

Along with the sound of feather brushes, there was a sound.

The smell of magic potion spread in the room.

The effectiveness of the contract is also rapidly taking shape!

…

Hint: You signed an "underground alliance" contract with Lorraine and Carmela.

From now on, on the way to find the ancient breath, the three of you regard each other as allies, always watching and helping each other, and not harming each other.

If there is a breach of contract.

According to the contract of the contract, it will be disqualified from the power of the contract.

The general information of underground alliance members is disclosed to each other—

Loran: Level 20 Bard & Level 2 Dusk Chanter & Deception Demigod;

Carmela: Level 20 Priest & Level 3 First Moon Favorite;

Matthew: Level 16 Necromancer;”

…

Since the contract was drawn up by Matthew himself, this public announcement was added after careful consideration.

With his knowledge of the contractual realm.

The more the allies know each other, the more effective the contract will be.

But as soon as the results were announced.

Matthew suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Two legendary elder brothers bring a fourth-level younger brother?

It seems that I have already reserved my paddling position!

“Are you a higher level than me?”

Loland looked at Carmela in surprise.

Carmela acted very calmly:

"Level is not everything. Besides, I have lived for so long and have the blessing of the God of the First Moon. Isn't it normal for my level to be high?"

“Searching for ancient breath is not just about level. Field, knowledge, and skills are all important.”

What she said is true.

　　It’s just that only those with the highest rank are qualified to say this.

After the announcement is completed.

The three of them reconfirmed the contents of the contract.

finally.

The underground alliance took shape.

“Then, we can make a plan for our next steps…”

Matthew took out a pen and paper and was about to write something.

However, Carmela seemed resolute:

“The plan has been made, let’s act first!”

“Let’s go and check out my seclusion first. If there’s nothing abnormal, we’ll go straight to the ground!”

Loland raised his hands in approval.

Matthew was naturally not upset when he saw this.

At the moment he led the two of them into the Crucible House, and through the alliance's teleportation array, the group of three came directly to the north of Watcher's Heights!

This place is not unfamiliar to Matthew.

We have just been here before, but the direction we went to was Cross City in the southwest, but now the three of us are heading straight to the east.

over there.

There is an area called the Land of East Lake.

That is the buffer zone between Watcher's Heights and the Garden of Leaves.

To the east of the East Lake Land, there is a small black forest, which is where Carmela used to live in seclusion.

In order to cover one’s whereabouts.

After leaving the teleportation array, Luolan used a spell to summon two horses. He and Carmela rode quickly one by one.

Matthew summoned his own horse, the Pegasus Ollie.

His riding skill level is very average. If he rides an ordinary horse, even with a saddle, his crotch will feel uncomfortable, and sometimes it will even feel like it is falling apart.

But Ollie is different.

When riding this flying horse, Matthew can experience the most perfect feeling.

Her back is as soft as a sponge, and when walking, it feels like walking on flat ground, stable and stable without any bumps.

more importantly.

Oli has the ability to disguise herself as an ordinary horse, and Matthew throws a trick on himself to make himself look like an ordinary person.

that's all.

The group of three people walked in an orderly manner towards the direction of the East Lake.

The road from Watcher's Heights to the Land of East Lake is a small road, and the horses don't go very fast.

Along the way.

They met many refugees, many of whom were sallow and thin, with dull eyes.

Several of them had a flash of anger in their eyes when they saw the three men passing by on horseback.

But in the end they were unable to attack the people on horseback.

Except for refugees.

Matthew also ran into a few guys who were suspected of being robbers, but these robbers were quite discerning and did not attack the three people who passed by quickly.

It was already noon when we arrived at the East Lake.

Although Carmela and Lorraine are both legendary, they are by no means tireless machines.

They also need to stay at their peak through proper rest.

So they had a quick lunch by the lake.

The staple food is pre-baked potatoes, butter bread, and Matthew also brought several portions of mushroom soup and bacon that Peggy had prepared in advance, as well as some other scattered foods.

certainly.

As a mage, milk is a must.

“I haven’t tasted Peggy’s craftsmanship for a long time. I regret it now. I should have stayed in the cemetery for one more day.”

“You don’t know, I haven’t had a good meal at all recently!”

Loland chewed vigorously and vomited wildly.

The way he ate was quite ungraceful, the bread crumbs fell on the floor, and the hair on his chest trembled. He looked as if he had just been released from prison.

Matthew was curious about this:

“Didn’t you take up the post of Ministry of Information?”

“Are the dining conditions in the Department of Public Information unsatisfactory?”

Roland immediately wiped the corners of his mouth hard and forced out a stiff smile:

“Theoretically, it’s not convenient for me to say anything bad about the Department of Information.”

“After all, I volunteered.”

Seeing Luo Lan like this.

Matthew became even more curious.

But since Luo Lan was unwilling to say it clearly, it was not convenient for him to ask further.

After lunch.

A group of people were just about to set off when suddenly, a group of bats came from a distance and flew across the water quickly.

Matthew sensed the malicious intent of this group of bats.

But before he could take action.

Carmela has already lost a dispel spell.

Under the strong light of the dispersion technique, the group of bats wisely retreated.

next moment.

They flew into the black forest on the east side of the lake, and then disappeared.

“That’s no ordinary bat.”

Roland has a vicious eye:

“That’s the blood sac of a high-level vampire!”

Matthew nodded.

The so-called blood sac.

In fact, it is equivalent to the mobile minions made by vampires using their own spawn.

Because it is inconvenient for vampires to move during the day.

So these minions went out hunting during the day instead of them.

These bats can **** blood.

It's just that most of the blood they **** will be stored in their bodies, and they have to hand it over when they return to the lair.

Hence the name.

There is activity in the blood sac, indicating that there is a vampire of high level living nearby!

The land of East Lake is close to the Watcher Highlands and is barely on the edge of civilization.

Given the extent to which the Alliance of Seven Saints has suppressed evil creatures, especially vampires, over the years.

There are traces of vampire activity here.

　　 is actually quite unusual.

Matthew looked at Carmela.

The latter nodded slightly:

"There are indeed some vampires living here, but they are not very aggressive. Even if they have blood sacs like the one just now, they usually only absorb the blood of some cattle, sheep or other wild animals, and rarely do anything to endanger their lives. situation."

Loland’s ears twitched slightly.

He seemed to notice something, and said in amazement:

“It’s rare for vampires to have such self-control.”

“The vampires here are related to the mother of vampires?”

Carmela said as she walked:

“It has something to do with it.”

“Let’s go to the forest first. I’ll see if I can find an old friend to help me so we can quickly get to my previous residence.”

While speaking.

The group released their mounts and entered the black forest by the lake on foot.

It’s early winter.

　　Although the forest is bathed in sunshine in the afternoon, there is still no trace of warmth.

Large tracts of leaves fell down and spread on the thick soil.

Matthew stepped on it gently, and there was a pleasant rustling sound under his feet.

It was very quiet in the woods.

The group of bats just now had already disappeared without a trace.

Matthew breathed in the slightly chilly air.

Quietly.

The ability of "asking about nature" has been activated.

…

Hint: You came to the "Desolated Forest", you briefly became one with nature, and obtained information within a three-mile radius—

You discovered the "Underground Church" (Elite Vampire*2);

You understand the nearby topography;

You discovered the "underground cave of the Scourge Order" (abandoned);

You find a "Road Devil" (500 meters northeast);

You understand the general distribution of the specialty "bounce mushrooms" in the Ruined Forest (can be picked);

You discover an "Altar of Luna" (abandoned)—

Warning: information corrected!

With the help of the will of nature, you see through the disguise of "Altar of the Moon Goddess".

This is an altar pointing to Gracia, the Queen of Desire. You sacrifice anything on the altar.

　　They may all become prisoners of Gracia!

You have discovered the whereabouts of the rare magical creature "The White Tiger of Enmat"..."

…

Period.

All kinds of information flooded into Matthew's eyes.

His brain was slightly lagging due to the influx of too much data.

Matthew was a little embarrassed at first.

After all, this sudden daze may confuse his companions.

But he soon discovered.

It turns out that I am not the only one who is in a daze!

Loland's ears were constantly moving, and his eyes were also changing with the frequency of the movements of his ears. Although his pupils were not out of focus, they still looked absent-minded.

Carmela's condition looks worrying.

She stood upright in the forest covered with fallen leaves, her eyes constantly turning upward, revealing large swaths of the whites of her eyes.

Although Matthew knew this was a sign that she was communicating with her own gods.

But this scene looks too scary.

"But it's a coincidence. The three of us all have very strong intelligence gathering capabilities. I'm asking about nature, Luo Lan has the ability to catch rumors and gossip, and Carmela is directly an oracle... There shouldn't be any abnormalities that can be hidden from us. Eyes."

Matthew thought so.

The remaining two people also completed their information retrieval.

Lorain made no sound.

I guess there is nothing interesting to him.

Carmela’s face was a little solemn:

“I just tried to communicate with my old friend, but failed.”

Matthew was a little surprised:

“Is your old friend a native of the Ruined Forest?

Carmela nodded slightly:

“Not only that, he is also the soul of nature here.”

"With his help, our next actions will be much smoother. I was able to live in seclusion here thanks to his protection, otherwise I would have to face those troubles sooner or later."

Matthew suddenly looked surprised.

He didn't even bother to ask Carmela why a priest knew how to communicate with the soul of nature.

What really surprised Matthew was—

“Can such a small piece of black forest also give birth to the soul of nature?”

Carmela said:

“Theoretically not possible, but my friend is a bit special. His name is Mo Song, and he may be the only person in the world who has been promoted to the Soul of Nature as a vampire.

Vampire Nature Soul?

Matthew immediately recalled the one he had seen in the underground cave of the Scourge Order before!

“Without Mo Song, the crisis in this forest affects everyone equally. It may be just some trouble for us, but it will delay some time.”

“Anyway, let’s go in first and talk as we go.”

Carmela leads the way.

Matthew and Lorraine followed behind at a certain frequency.

Her voice came from the front along with the cold wind in the forest:

“Mozon is a very special vampire. Before he became a vampire and a nature spirit, he was a very famous priest and ranger in this area.”

“According to his own account, before the wood elves abandoned the Garden of Fallen Leaves, the dilapidated forest was actually very prosperous.”

“There are several small towns on the edge of the forest, the largest of which is located in the north of the East Lake Land. It relies on the lake and can trade with the elves, and its development is quite impressive.”

“That was a very ancient era. The elves had not yet moved their capital, and naturally the ancient gods were still watching the land with kindness.”

“One day, while tracking an injured reindeer in this forest, ranger Mozon accidentally rescued a dying mole.”

“The kind-hearted Mo Song took the mole home and patiently treated it for nearly half a month before it recovered to health.”

"And just when Mo Song was about to release the mole, the other party actually started talking about human nature. He claimed to be the spokesperson of the ancient **** of nature in the world, and said that he took a fancy to Mo Song's kind character and pious faith."

“The mole told Mo Song that when Mo Song dies naturally, he can be automatically promoted to the soul of nature and become a part of the forest east of the East Lake Land.”

“Mosong was very happy after hearing this. Since then, his faith has become stronger and his behavior has become more kind.”

“He spent his whole life helping others, but his own life was not good enough; he treated the poor for free and became well-known in several nearby towns.”

“But even so, due to his poor family, Mo Song was never able to marry and have children, which was always a pity for him with a conservative personality.”

“Things took a turn for the worse when he was forty-nine.”

"In the summer of that year, Mo Song rescued a girl who accidentally broke into the forest. At that time, the girl was being chased by a black bear. When Mo Song retreated the black bear, he found that half of the girl's face had been killed by the black bear. Scratched, completely disfigured.”

“Afterwards, Mozon took the girl back to his cabin and took good care of her like a mole. The girl recovered quickly, but scars were left on her face.”

“She told Mo Song that she ran away from her marriage because she was dissatisfied with her parents’ unauthorized arrangements for marriage. Once she ran away, she could never go back. She hoped that Mo Song could take her in.”

“Mosong expressed embarrassment that it was not easy for him to support himself, but he said he didn’t care about being a young girl.”

“Under the girl’s bold attack, Mo Song’s heart fell.”

“On the one hand, he was attracted by the innocent vitality of the girl, and on the other hand, he felt that if he had arrived earlier, the girl might not have been disfigured by the black bear, so it is his responsibility to take care of her.”

“In this way, the two got married and lived a happy life in the forest.”

“However, this happiness did not last long, and soon, Mo Song found that he began to have bad luck one after another—

While doing his daily work, he was attacked by wild animals from time to time. This was something that would never happen in the past!

Because of his status as a forest ranger.

He has become friends with many wild animals, and few animals will actively attack him.

Worse.

There were some rumors in several nearby human towns.

Some people are jealous that Mo Song can still fall in love with a young girl despite being so poor.

　　It lists and weaves many stories that denigrate young girls.

These stories are well-written.

Angry, Mo Song fought with the idlers.

Although he won every fight.

But not long after that, those few idlers encountered accidents one after another and died suddenly.

This adds new material to those rumors.

Over time.

Morzon became estranged from many people in the town.

Morson was chagrined by this.

But he didn't know what to do. He firmly believed that his wife was a gentle and kind girl.

He also hopes to protect her through his own actions.

He even considered moving.

However, before Mo Song could take action, another priest of the Ancient God of Nature in the town suddenly declared that Mo Song had betrayed his faith!

His wife is a terrible evil!

On a moonlit night, under the organization of the priest, many young adults in the town surrounded Mosong's cabin in the forest with torches held high.

They demanded that Mozon hand over his wife.

In the house.

His wife, half of her face covered in scars but still beautiful, hugged Mo Song tightly.

She asked: ‘Will you hand me over to them? ’

Morson just shook his head.

Then the wife smiled tenderly:

‘If you don’t let me down, I will definitely not let you down! ’

Mosong was extremely moved.

He was about to say something, but his wife’s next words surprised him:

“Those people outside want to separate us. They are bad people. I will kill them all and then come with you.” ’

The next second.

The wife disappeared into the house.

And when Mo Song opened the door of the cabin with a cold sweat.

Hundreds of corpses have been piled up outside!

He saw his wife raising her head from a corpse. The lower half of her face was filled with filthy blood, and four sharp tiger teeth poked out. Her expression was gentle and scary.

that moment.

Mo Songru was shocked by electric shock.

The dying priest lying next to him grabbed Mo Song's sleeve and asked with all his strength:

　　‘How long has it been since you went to church? ’

Mo Song suddenly understood.

He vaguely remembered that the last time he went to listen to the teachings of the ancient **** of nature was before he met his wife!

Mozon collapsed.

He didn’t expect that his wife was really an evil creature!

He wanted to commit suicide.

But he was easily stopped by his wife.

The latter said to him gently:

　　‘You have no way out, join me and become an advanced being like me! ’

Then the wife used First Embrace on Mo Song—

It is a ritual used to transform vampire spawns.

Due to the special status of a wife.

Morzon was told that he would not become a vampire immediately, but would transform into a higher vampire after a normal death.

Have done all this.

The wife left with satisfaction.

Mozon was completely broken.

He wanted to die and ran through the woods, but the wild animals in the woods were unwilling to attack him.

After a long time.

Mo Songcai met the hunter clan in the north.

The people of the God of Hunting showed no mercy to Mo Song and cut off his head in a few strokes.

Mosong died as he wished.

At the moment of his death.

The Mole's blessing takes effect at the same time as the wife's first embrace.

He turned into an extremely special being, both a high-level vampire and a soul of nature.

But it is also a very sad existence.

He is hated by most of the natural realms, only this dark forest is willing to take him in;

He was also spurned by the vampires, who believed that he was not qualified to become a higher being like them.

After resurrecting from the dead, Mo Song possesses the ability to live forever.

He became the master of the ruined forest.

However, he was not happy.

He was eager to get away from it all, and he frantically tried to find traces of the Mole and his wife.

But these two.

Even if a thousand years have passed, they have never appeared again.

that's all.

The Ruined Forest has an additional natural soul that is a vampire.

He has a kind nature and is willing to help others.

But he lived in pain from beginning to end.

He always hoped to be liberated.

But obviously.

No one can do this yet. "

Carmela’s narrative came to an abrupt end.

Loland’s comments immediately followed:

“A good bedtime story, and also suitable for entertainment during travel.”

“Writing that ends in vain may be criticized as bad.”

“But it is also a creative method that leaves a lingering sound.”

Carmela looked back at him.

Eyes full of doubts.

Roland coughed:

“Sorry, the occupational disease has been a bit serious recently.”

“I just used my ability to find out. The protagonist in the story should have become a stage for the battle between the ancient **** of nature and the mother of vampires.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Under normal circumstances, the ancient gods would certainly not tolerate such degenerates.

But afterwards, neither side took back their power over Mo Song. Don’t you think it’s unusual? "

Matthew thought thoughtfully:

“Are you saying that because it involves a battle of beliefs and the two sides are competing with all their strength, neither side has regained its power on Mo Song?”

Unexpectedly, Luo Lan shook his head violently and said:

“On the contrary.”

“Didn’t I just make it obvious? At that time, the Ancient God of Nature and the Mother of Vampires were competing—

in other words.

The two of them were in love at that time.

Get from Tianlun Palace to the main material realm.

The gameplay is more diverse than your imagination.

Mo Song and the girl in the forest are just one of their ever-changing ways of playing.

In fact.

During the time they were together, Mo Song and the girl had very little consciousness and memory.

Most of the time, he is a string puppet of the spiritual imprint projected by the Ancient God of Nature and the Mother of Vampires.

hehe…
