A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 296 Lava Banshee

 …

The singing voice was melodious and clear, but also carried an indescribable sense of sadness.

 As if spanning countless time and space, it quietly came to everyone's ears.

The weird thing is.

　　The song proves to be coming from the abyss under the mountain.

 But the feeling that falls on everyone's ears seems to ring directly in your heart, without any sense of distance, without any noise, not even an echo.

 Quite clean and translucent.

With the background of the singing, other sounds seemed to become extremely small and completely unworthy of mention.

 “It’s Naga’s voice.”

 The first one to speak was Luo Lan.

His words directly brought everyone back to reality from the singing:

“There is a certain degree of charm, but because the distance is too far, it is very slight and not a big problem.”

Carmela looked at Lorraine with some confusion:

 “So sure?”

Roland nodded confidently:

 “Because I slept with her.”

As soon as he said this, a few surprised looks came over him.

 Fortunately, Matthew and Carmela are already used to it.

 The former asked thoughtfully:

 “Is it the Naga Queen? Or the female general?”

Roland smiled and said:

“It must be Queen Naga, only she has such a penetrating singing voice.”

　　“Should I say it or not, she has a really good voice…”

Carmela glanced at him with a strange look on her face, but in the end she said nothing.

 Loland listened attentively for a while.

 Then he began to interpret it seriously:

"This is a song used by the Nagas to praise the two world-destroying snakes Bruchi. It is more like a sacrificial prayer than a song. The original Naga obtained power from Bruchi. From Him also were obtained the evil rites for the transformation of the Naga.”

“Typically, this hymn is only used one to three months before a large-scale transformation ceremony.”

“It seems that the Naga Kingdom has been causing a lot of trouble in recent days...”

Matthew understood what Lorraine meant.

No matter where the sound of this hymn comes from, behind the sound of the song, there will definitely be a series of rituals for the transformation of the original Naga.

"So Bruchi is the dusk creation? The one sealed in the trench of the Endless Ocean?"

 Matthew asked.

Loland nodded:

 “He is also the one who has been suppressed the most by the gods.”

 Matthew understood.

 He had previously learned about the Twilight Creation who created the Primarch Naga through various channels.

Chen called them the two snakes that destroyed the world, and Luo Lan simply reported their names.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized.

　　It turns out that this Bruchy had paid special attention to himself with Gai Lan a long time ago!

As the one who had a worse time among the dusk creations.

The twin snakes of destruction, Bruch, are the creators of the original body Naga, and Naga is different from Medusa. The former is a chaotic life created by the creation of dusk, while the latter is a naturally formed mythical creature.

Perhaps Bruch had reference to Medusa when creating Naga.

But the two creatures are still very different in nature.

“Medusa came out of the treasure chest and Naga’s singing came from under the suspension bridge. Is it just a coincidence?”

 Matthew has an extra eye.

 He took the time to check his followed list.

 Good guy.

There are only thirteen Dusk Creatures in total, which are extremely rare in the world of Irondor, but five of them have paid special attention to Matthew!

They are -

Gailan is sealed in the shadow world. His true body is a **** slug, and his domain is shadow, distortion and killing. He is fanatically pursued by evil monks in the Far East;

The crazy second hand who was sealed in the Arcane Wilderness was formerly Loa, the God of Luck. His domain is magic, madness and time. This guy has deep penetration into the Arcane Wilderness and the Fairy Garden. He is also an old friend of Isabel, and his strength and... The purpose is unfathomable;

Then there is Bruchi, the twin snakes of destruction. Not only is he the creator of the original body Naga, he is also suspected of having made a deal with King Mingtan. He is the source of the curse on the Sioux people and now has a profound impact on the Naga kingdom. force;

 The fourth dusk creation is a guy named Asitana. You don’t know it unless you look at it. Matthew then discovered that Asitana was the one he had just paid attention to, and he didn’t know through what channel;

 The fifth twilight creation has only three question marks.

 This is a sign of Matthew's lack of awareness.

 In addition to the dusk creation.

Matthew’s special attention list also includes a large number of middle and high-level gods and other forces in the outer plane.

“There should be many people who are secretly paying attention to me but I haven’t noticed.”

“Damn it, the mechanism for blocking sight from the outer plane must be further improved, otherwise I will have to wear the Star Weaver Robe wherever I go!”

  Matthew withdrew his eyes from the data column.

  Lorain went on to explain:

“We don’t need to pay attention to this song. She is far away from us. The arrival of the song is just an accident of nature.

Have you ever heard of Sea Gate?

 That is a very peculiar space-time velocity current that is only located in the ocean.

 Creatures recognized by the sea can pass through one sea gate to reach another sea gate.

 There are at least three sea gates in the Arun Inland Sea where the Naga Kingdom is located.

 I suspect there is one down here too.

Since the Sea Gate is essentially a time-space velocity flow, its carrier properties are higher than others, so if someone uses these two Sea Gates recently, it is possible that the Naga singing from the Arun Inland Sea can be transmitted down here. .

But these have nothing to do with us.

　　We just need to wait until the singing ends and then go there.

 The reason why we have to wait.

 Just to be on the safe side. "

Stanley looked at the bottom of the cliff with some curiosity.

 But I saw some faint firelight under the cliff.

Those firelights are like floating fragments that make it difficult to see clearly. Other than that, there is thick and sticky darkness.

Stanley asked probingly:

“I heard that with just one Feather Falling Technique, there is a chance to slowly fall from the upper level of the underground space into the center of the earth.”

 Loland patted him on the shoulder:

“I can add a feather falling technique to you, do you want to try it?”

Looking at Luo Lan's smiling face.

Stanley could not help but shudder, and then resolutely refused:

"forget it."

 “I’m just hearing about it.”

Roland showed a trace of regret:

“If you jump, I can take care of Julie and the kids for you.”

Stanley raised his eyebrows.

Roland smiled and said:

 “Just kidding, I don’t like children!”

“I just want to tell you that successfully entering the Underdark with just a Featherfall spell is something that can only happen under the most ideal circumstances.”

“In fact, the situation in the underground space is extremely complicated. If you jump deeper, you may not land until the effect of the Feather Falling Technique disappears, so it is natural that you will fall into a ball of meat.”

"The more dangerous thing is that when you go deeper than three hundred meters underground, you may encounter the gaze of the dark ancient **** huddled underground. After that, all the laws of time and space you encounter may be slightly affected. If you tamper with it, you may be permanently lost in an underground maze with no way to find the exit, or the period of time you have experienced will be rolled into a loop and then repeated infinitely."

“The brutal underground race and harsh natural environment have never been the most dangerous places in the Underdark. Ordinary people encounter random events that are bound to escape death.”

 After listening.

 Everyone's eyes looking towards the abyss became more awe-inspiring.

 In order to reduce the slight impact of Naga's singing, Stanley's two younger brothers even plugged their ears with cloth strips.

  Comparatively.

Matthew's undead have shown unique advantages in fighting against these.

 The undead are directly immune to Naga's singing.

Only A Bing seemed a little unusual.

He was walking around in place, as if he had fallen into some pre-set automatic program, and his movements seemed sluggish and mechanical.

 But anyone can feel the violent aura brought by this skeleton.

Seeing this, Matthew could only gently comfort A Bing.

Naga is the natural enemy of Sword Dancer, so it’s no wonder that A Bing looks so arrogant every time he bumps into Naga.

“Speaking of which, A Bing’s advanced mission should really be done, and by the way, Chen’s commission can be completed.”

"When the work here is over, if the Jade Cangting side has not reached a conclusion, you might as well let Luo Lan lead the way and go to talk to Queen Naga..."

 In the midst of thoughts.

Matthew couldn’t help but look at the people in Gemstone Bay again.

 Stanley and his two younger brothers were not unusual;

Linden was hiding in a corner by himself at the moment, talking to himself.

Matthew took a few steps closer and found that the other party was encouraging himself in Elvish. These words were repeated over and over again, sometimes inconsistent and sometimes unclear—

　　It's almost like "I am the best!", "Everyone else is wrong!", "Only I am righteous", "It is not shameful to bow my head occasionally", "I will be reborn soon"...

This guy is really crazy.

Matthew noticed that the most unusual thing about Lyndon was his changeable emotions. Sometimes he was passionate and excited, sometimes sensitive and suspicious. Sometimes he was courageous and claimed to be a messenger of justice, and sometimes he was suddenly cowardly and as timid as a mouse. .

These strange qualities are not uncommon when isolated.

 But it is blended into one person.

It seems very fragmented.

“There is no other soul in his body, and there is no sign of schizophrenia. Apart from the brand of Aether Abandoned, he looks like a normal person...”

 Matthew composed himself.

It seems that most of the anomalies in Linden still fall on this etheric outcast.

 When he subconsciously shifted his gaze from Lyndon to Daisy.

 But suddenly he noticed that Daisy’s lips were also moving!

  More importantly.

The opening and closing of her lips seemed to be in sync with the distant singing coming from underground!

Matthew narrowed his eyes but said nothing.

On the contrary, Daisy seemed to sense his gaze and suddenly turned her head to look at Matthew.

Seeing this, Matthew simply asked:

"What are you doing?"

 Daisy pulled her hair that was draped over her shoulders, and then smiled softly:

“I used to hear some sailors singing Naga songs when I was working in the Free Islands.”

　　　"Among them is this one."

 “I think this song is very nice, so I couldn’t help but sing along for a short part.”

"What's wrong?"

 Matthew looked at her deeply.

I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or other reasons, but after Daisy spoke, the Naga singing from underground also disappeared.

 But in Daisy’s body.

 Matthew could not detect anything unusual—

　　Neither insight, perception, nor clairvoyance found any flaws in her.

 As for the final balanced perception of trump cards.

Since it can only be used twice a day, and it is in a place like a tomb, Matthew does not want to use it lightly.

Even so.

  Deep down in his heart, he had already marked Daisy and Lyndon together as suspicious units.

 These two people.

It’s definitely not as simple as prostitutes and clients!

 While Matthew and Daisy were talking.

Carmela and Lorraine also looked at the latter with different eyes, which made Matthew more determined.

However, the three of them all had an unexpected tacit understanding and did not continue to inquire further.

 Hand in place for a few minutes.

The Naga's song never sounded again.

Stanley spoke:

 “How are you going to get there?”

Roland shrugged:

 “Everyone depends on his ability.”

As he spoke, everyone heard the rumble of footsteps—

The bone dragon Philolius, who was originally holding the battle at the back, came to the front.

He lay down on the cliff, and with his huge body, he easily blocked both sides of the bank, forming a stable and strong bone bridge!

 Matthew walked across the bone bridge calmly.

 Death Knight 47 also wanted to follow, but Philoleus swung him away with his tail!

 “Only the master can trample on my body!”

Xiao Boi's low roar echoed on the cliff.

Peggy shrugged indifferently, took a short step to the edge of the cliff, and then kicked hard. Her figure drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and then landed steadily on the opposite side;

A Bing lowered his head, and his figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already on the other side;

47 took out a javelin from nowhere, tied a rope to its tail, and then threw it towards the cliff ahead.

 Snap.

 The javelin got stuck in the gap in the rock on the opposite side. With this rope, the death knight also reached the other side smoothly;

As for the other undead, Matthew temporarily planned to leave them on the opposite side.

If necessary, he will erect another teleportation tombstone.

  But consider the cost.

 He planned to conduct reconnaissance first and then teleport.

  In any case, it is enough to have the help of elite units in the fight. These zombies are purely coolies.

Loland took out his piccolo and played it for a while, then blessed himself with a flying technique and flew over lightly;

 Carmela whispered "I can walk on the air!".

Then he walked over in a majestic manner.

　　The trio looked back at Stanley and the others.

 It was beyond their expectations.

Stanley hesitated for a moment, and then said:

 “Let’s not go there.”

“Originally, I planned to come here to try my luck and see if I could find the Guilty Crown, but since you are also interested in this, I might as well quit.”

 “Let’s go our separate ways from now on.”

 As he spoke, he looked at Linden.

Linden also jumped up immediately:

“That’s great. I’ve told you a long time ago that finding the Guilty Crown is the most meaningless thing. You should fulfill your promise and **** me to the core of the Emerald King City!”

Stanley nodded.

 The three people on the other side looked at each other. Although they were a little surprised, the other party's statement was very true, and they had no reason not to let him go.

So he nodded and let them go.

Watching Stanley and his group return to the second floor of the underground palace.

Loland couldn’t help but complain:

“Look, did you scare people away?!”

“It must be because your bald head looks too vicious!”

 Carmela walked forward:

 “Perhaps people think your chest hair is irritating.”

 Matthew did not pay attention to the quarrel between the two.

Stanley suddenly made the request to leave after the three of him came over, which shows that he was actually prepared to leave resolutely.

 After the three of them arrived on the other side, they only added a buffer zone.

 “He seems to be ready to fall out…”

Matthew couldn’t help but reflect on himself:

“Is it because the way you look when you are searching for things is too scary?”

"But I clearly promised that I would give him a share of the spoils when things are done..." He couldn't help but look back a few more times.

“Don’t worry, I have trace powder on each of them, I can find them at any time.”

“Just now while you were busy chatting with Medusa, I noticed Stanley and Lyndon whispering next to each other.”

“After all, they don’t trust us and are even a little afraid of us. It’s normal for them to leave now.”

Roland put his arm around Matthew's shoulders and walked forward. As he walked, he asked:

“So besides planting trees, do you have any other daily hobbies?”

 “I needed more details to flesh out the origin story.”

Matthew thought for a while:

“No, if you have to say it, it’s about casting spells?”

 “But this shouldn’t be considered a daily hobby, right?”

Roland rolled his eyes:

 “Then what is your most commonly used spell?”

Matthew said somewhat uncertainly:

 “Hand of the Mage?”

While recalling, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Luo Lan.

The latter grabbed a quill and wrote in his notebook.

Matthew quickly glimpsed a corner—

 …

“Character details 69: I like to cast spells with the hands of a mage!”

 …

Matthew's eyesight went dark.

 He was about to argue with Luo Lan, but some unusual scenery appeared on the ground in front of him.

The three of them walked forward along the uneven ground.

 They could clearly feel that the terrain was sloping downwards.

 A huge underground plain formed in front of us.

 The path they were walking on was a path that could barely be distinguished with the naked eye. It was probably opened a long time ago.

 And blank tombstones appeared on both sides of the road!

The shape of these tombstones is very simple. Although the workmanship is rough, the quality of the stone is excellent.

They stood quietly on both sides of the road.

 It gives people the illusion of arriving at a mass grave.

“Why are there so many tombstones here?”

Matthew couldn’t help but ask.

"It seems that Prince Philip prepared it for his descendants. According to the troll tradition, only direct heirs and their families are eligible to be buried in the eternal underground palace. These blank tombstones are prepared for subsequent heirs. , but unfortunately not long after Philip’s death, the troll empire fell apart..."

Loland said.

Carmela followed and looked around, with a look of disappointment on her face.

obviously.

  She did not find the ancient atmosphere he wanted in these tombstones.

 Soon she looked at Matthew:

"what have you found?"

“Since the beginning, your eyes have been looking back and forth between these tombstones, and you seem to be mumbling something?”

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then chuckled:

“I was just calculating how many zombies it would take to lift these blank tombstones back in one go.”

 “You shouldn’t have any need for this thing, right?”

 “If not, I will take them all…”

 Carmela was speechless.

 Matthew was in a very good mood.

These blank tombstones can be used to provide shelter for zombies.

  It can also be slightly processed.

 It can become a variety of tombstones with special functions.

 It is different from the tombstone Matthew made himself.

The stones here are of the highest quality, and correspondingly, the tombstones made will have much better effects.

 Matthew even had doubts.

 Some of the tombstones here may have the ability to carry the "domain contract"!

 This is not something that ordinary stones can do.

Matthew’s cemetery is actually very short of stones now.

 The town of Rolling Stone once had many fine stones, but that was once.

 Ever since the ore industry disappeared overnight.

 The town of Rolling Stone became very short of stones.

 Especially good stones.

  The stones that Matthew dug out from the ground are not comparable in quality to these tombstones!

 He counted.

 There are almost more than 3,000 blank tombstones here!

“The combined value of these tombstones is definitely more than 300,000 gold coins!”

“After moving these home, I can directly build a special ritual ground for the zombies. This can quickly breed more high-quality zombies and obtain more high-quality labor force!”

Snapped!

Matthew erected a teleportation tombstone on the roadside and began to prepare to pull people.

 The situation is similar to the first level.

 The teleportation spell here is more seriously interfered with, and it is estimated that it will take longer to activate.

 He was not in a hurry either.

 A group of three people continued walking towards the dark front.

while walking.

 The air becomes vaguely humid.

 There was a gentle wind blowing from the front.

Although it is all dark.

 But the darkness not far away showed some fluctuations.

The fire demon's light hit the mirror in front.

 The deep darkness was quickly dispelled, as if it had turned into liquid, undulating slightly with the breeze.

 The water surface is sparkling.

 “It’s an underground lake!”

 “There’s a pier ahead!”

“There are still footprints here. This is where the wave of people from Jiandong City left. They went to the center of the lake!”

 Underground lake port.

 On a pier that has been abandoned for who knows how long.

Roland pointed to the footprints on the pier and the marks on the piles next to it and said:

“There should be two ships anchored here, but they took them away.”

At this time, Carmela also pointed to the depths of the underground lake and said:

"over there!"

 “There’s an island there!”

 “The burial place of the troll prince is on the island.”

Although Matthew couldn't see what was in the direction Carmela pointed at.

But the look in the legendary priest’s eyes clearly left no room for doubt.

At that moment he threw off the magic carpet.

 The three of them got on board and flew slowly in the direction Carmela pointed.

 About fifteen minutes passed.

 Some fire appeared on the lake ahead.

 A huge shadow is cast in the center of the lake.

That shadow is richer than the darkness next to it.

But Matthew’s gaze was not on the shadow, but directly above the lake!

 As the magic carpet continues to approach.

 He finally realized that the island Carmela pointed to was not floating on an underground lake.

 Instead, it is suspended in mid-air above the underground lake!

Yes.

 The underground space here began to expand greedily upwards.

  Forming an extremely spectacular underground void.

 around the hanging island.

 There is a cliff in one direction, and a large amount of magma is left from the cliff and pours into the underground lake.

 There is still rolling lava on top.

 When it hits the lake, it turns into dense white gas.

The suspended island is about fifty to eighty meters above the water.

 The size of the island is small.

 It can only accommodate a dozen people standing.

 And the center of the island.

 There is a rather familiar column rising into the sky.

 Above the column are the same familiar mushroom heads and suspended rings.

 Matthew raised the height of the magic carpet.

The flowing lava illuminated his face, and he could clearly see three coffins placed on the ring.

 And on the narrow platform above the mushroom head.

There are even mountains of dazzling treasures piled up!

 Gold, silver, emeralds, gems... and many more dazzling treasures.

 They just pile up on the platform.

 Seems to be waiting for the arrival of outsiders.

 And the three sarcophagi are no different from the coffins used by the burials on the upper two floors.

 The only thing that mattered to Matthew was.

 He observed that one of the sarcophagi seemed to have been opened.

 And the small island at the root of the ring.

Two waves of people have gathered at this moment, it is the turban team from Sword Winter City and the kobold warlock Will and his clone!

 When Matthew and the other three approached.

 The kobolds are issuing a stern warning to everyone in Sword Winter City:

 “Don’t go near those treasures!”

 “That’s a huge trap!”

"I am not reminding you not to be stupid out of good intentions. If anyone touches the treasure above, the entire island will automatically peel off, and everything around us, including the entire underground palace, will fall irrevocably to the stars. !”

“Even if you want to take away these treasures, you must break this trap first, otherwise you will be seeking your own death!”

 Among the people in Sword Winter City.

The young man in the black turban was obviously a little unconvinced.

The leader in the red turban appears to be much more stable.

 He mused:

“We are actually not here to find the Guilty Crown entrusted by the green dragon, but to seek something else.”

"We don't care about the treasure here. I just want to take the one thing our employer wants us to take away."

The kobold Will snorted coldly:

“I don’t care which thing you want to take away, no one is allowed to act rashly until this trap is cracked!”

The red scarf frowned and said:

 “But I didn’t sense the trap you mentioned.”

 The kobold chuckled:

 “That’s your problem.”

“But I can advise you, if you can’t see such an obvious trap, you’d better consider changing your career.”

Everyone in Jiandong City was very angry.

But the kobolds were serious about what they said, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

 At this time.

 They also saw the three Matthews approaching, with different expressions on both sides.

Everyone in Sword Winter City is instinctively vigilant.

 The kobold seemed a little irritable...and a little panicked?

 Matthew quickly glanced towards the platform.

 The next second.

He then saw a tiptoeing shadow holding a bag and crazily loading things among the treasures!

That figure is short and ugly. Doesn’t it look like a kobold?

 …

 Hint: You saw through the "bluffing" of the kobold Will! "

 …

Ma Xiu wants to speak out.

 But at this time.

 The magma on the other side of the cliff suddenly surged!

　　followed by.

 In the horrified eyes of everyone.

 A huge woman whose whole body was made of magma and black smoke climbed up from the lava!

 Hurrah!

 The giantess's feet are on the underground lake.

 Suddenly a storm arose.

Her upper body was filled with blazing flames, and the hot feeling made the people on the island breathless.

"I said…"

“Those who trespass into the underground palace will die!”

A ferocious smile appeared on the giantess's face. She bent down, opened her mouth, and sprayed towards the island -

 Hurrah!

 The lava all over the sky directly covered the small island!

 In chaos.

 Matthew quickly adjusted the height of the magic carpet.

Xiao Fei, who was originally following behind, stepped forward and stopped in front of Matthew with his flying skills!

 But at this time.

The giantess's eyes suddenly locked on Matthew:

 “What a cute bone dragon!”

"Now…"

 “He’s mine!”

That moment.

Matthew was horrified to realize that a huge force was tearing at his soul!

 …

 Hint: You encountered "Lava Banshee Brianta" (Death Banshee mutant/Lord)

You realize that Brianta, the banshee, has previously used "disguise" and "deception" on you. She did not escape, but just stayed dormant temporarily...

　　Warning: Brianta used "Incite Rebellion" on your undead!

 Your ability "Defense" is now in effect!

Your Bone Dragon is immune to "Instigating Rebellion"..."

 …

Matthew looked at the huge banshee in shock, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

 …
