The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

From Sandrine's mouth.

Matthew also learned the origin of the True Dragon Fragment and many secrets of the Sestan family.

turn out to be.

The original Sestan family was a group of lizard people living in the star realm.

They live deep in the Astral Plane, a broken plane adjacent to the ruins of the Twin Heavens.

In ancient times.

The ancestors of the Sestan family dug up a complete true dragon scroll among the ruins.

But for various reasons.

The scroll was destroyed by an irresistible force, and in the end only the fragment in Matthew's hand was handed down.

But even so.

This fragment also brought incredible power to the Sestan family.

They used this as a medium to pray to the Supreme Dragon and obtained all kinds of incredible powers.

The meager true dragon blood in the lizard people was gradually activated, developed, and purified, and eventually some of the lizard people in Sestan evolved into more powerful dragon people.

But it is different from the astral dragon people like the Cossacks.

Dragonmen evolved from lizardmen with more powerful wisdom and magic.

Their bodies may not be as strong as those of the Cossack clan, but they are far superior to the latter in controlling magic.

It is precisely with the gift of the supreme true dragon.

The Sestan family gradually grew in strength in the Shattered Plane.

However, the astral world is a turbulent place.

This is especially true of the Twin Paradise Ruins.

Because too many secrets and treasures from the Dark Ages have been buried, there are often powerful people who exceed the limits of the Shattered Plane coming in and out.

A series of horrific catastrophes soon pushed the Broken Plane into the gray star realm.

at the same time.

The Supreme True Dragon's response to the Sestan family has become less and less.

To save myself.

The elites of the Sestan family left the Shattered Plane with the True Dragon Scroll.

at first.

They set their migration destination to a secondary plane very close to the material world.

But in the process of dangerous migration.

They encountered plunder and obstruction from many astral forces, and the astral spaceship used for migration was also stranded halfway.

Even worse.

A serious war also broke out in the sub-plane that they regarded as their new settlement——

The two sides in the war were apparently two of the gods of Tianlun Palace who were in the spotlight during the Age of Enlightenment.

Not to mention whether the Sestan family at that time had the ability to reach that secondary plane.

Even if you log in successfully.

They must also surrender to one of the gods in order to survive in that secondary plane.

At that time, the lizard people's belief in the supreme dragon was still firm.

They cannot change their families easily.

Ever since.

Due to a combination of many reasons.

The family was forced to temporarily move into a broken plane near Purgatory.

"The story of the Sestan family is actually lackluster overall."

"It's a story about a group of low-level creatures accidentally acquiring a high-level magical object and gaining power that does not belong to them. Then they slowly rise, and then slowly die out as the power of the magical object gradually disappears..."

Sandrine spoke calmly:

"Later, the new broken plane was assimilated by the infinitely expanding Purgatory, and the Sestan family was forced to integrate into the society of Purgatory."

"Since we are not devils, we will encounter severe discrimination in purgatory, so after discussion, some family members took the initiative to complete the trial of the blood river in purgatory, and then completed the transformation from astral creatures to purgatory creatures."

"The remaining people were originally the core members of the family, and they were also the True Blood Dragon people who had been superior to others for a long time.

But as time goes by.

The Supreme Dragon responds to our prayers less and less.

Especially after entering purgatory.

Channels of communication between the two parties were almost severed. "

"At the beginning, the family could maintain the original order and be united in the newly opened purgatory."

"We built the original Blood Sand City."

"But as time went by, the tribesmen who separated from the family and became devils became more and more dissatisfied with the core members."

"They no longer recognize their identity as members of the Sestan family, and they are no longer willing to bow to the True Blood Dragons."

"During this period, conflicts broke out several times between the two sides, which eventually turned into a low-intensity war."

"The final result is that the two break up and go their separate ways."

"So a large number of members left, and they were transformed into various types of devils under the blessing of the blood river's will. Only a handful of people still persisted in their belief in the supreme true dragon."

"The Kane family and the White Devil family, which are the most popular in Blood Sand City today, their ancestors were all members of the Sestan family, but they never mentioned this past..."

Speaking of which.

Sandrine sighed softly:

"I am the last inheritor of the Sestan family and the last member of the family with the characteristics of a true blood dragon."

"Since the Supreme True Dragon no longer responds to our prayers, the number of True Blood clan members has become less and less. The children born to family members have shown serious atavism. They are all lizard people who cannot grasp the true meaning of magic... …”

"I actually know very well in my heart that the decline of the family is inevitable. Just admitting this fact is very difficult for me, who has shouldered the expectations of almost everyone in the family since I was a child."

Matthew asked while feeling the faint warmth on the true dragon fragment:

"So you are still insisting on holding sacrificial rituals to the supreme true dragon?"

Sandrine nodded:

"In the beginning, before every ceremony, I always had a sense of luck. What if the Supreme True Dragon responded to me this time?"

"Later on, I just regarded it as a performance, used to comfort and deceive those tribesmen who still had expectations for it."

"I originally thought that I could only be freed when all my family members grew old or died."

"I didn't expect this day to come so soon..."

Her tone was a little sad, but she felt a little more relaxed than before.

Matthew looked at her and said:

"But you have actually been assimilated by the will of the blood river a long time ago, right?"

He saw obvious demonic traits in Sandrine.

Sandrine bit her lip:

"certainly."

"We have lived in purgatory for generations and will inevitably be contaminated by the will of the blood river..."

"No matter how devout a believer is, it is difficult for him to completely resist..."

Matthew smiled.

He did not continue to suppress her poor self-esteem and false piety.

In his opinion.

The fall of the Sestan family is most likely to be their own fault.

Sandrine's description certainly conceals the family's tendency to choose between the Will of the Blood River and the Supreme Dragon after entering Purgatory.

The reason is also very simple.

Matthew knew that the Supreme Dragon paid little attention to worldly matters.

But this does not mean that He will really cut off the response to believers without any reason——

Matthew's former defeated general, now the elite Necromancer Lord Cossack, also believes in the Supreme True Dragon.

He even believed in the Supreme True Dragon and at the same time, he was insincere about the five-color dragon god Baruch.

Even in this case.

The Supreme Dragon still did not revoke his blessing to the Cossacks.

Matthew was deeply impressed by the nearly one hundred layers of glorious blood on the latter's body.

If it weren't for the undead natural disaster, it would be too overbearing.

The Cossacks might cause him more trouble.

all in all.

There must be another reason behind the fact that the Supreme Dragon no longer responds to the prayers of the Sestan family.

At least this family is not as pure and pure as Sandrine said.

"I see."

"Arrange a secret room for me."

Matthew said hello to his two companions.

Then he came to a secret room under the Dragon Castle alone.

After setting up a secluded and soundproof barrier.

He placed the scroll on his knees.

After a while.

He gently touched the surface of the fragment with both hands, and separated a ray of spiritual power into it.

Almost instantly.

A feeling like a ray of light came over Matthew's heart.

In the dark.

He saw a bonfire burning in the darkness!

A very majestic voice came from the campfire:

"Boy, you killed my believers and you still dare to appear in front of me?"

Said.

An extremely powerful impact hit Matthew's soul!

Fortunately, Matthew has good mental strength.

Two or three seconds later.

He resisted the impact of the Supreme True Dragon.

"If faith is really that important to you, then when the people of the Sestan family betrayed you, you would have cast a curse instead of simply ignoring the matter."

Matthew responded calmly.

He is still not sure whether the will communicated through the fragmentary scroll is the Supreme True Dragon itself, or whether it is just a projection or a wisp of will.

But it’s always right to be respectful and cautious.

After all, this one is one of the three transcendents he knows, the other two are the natural disaster mage and Fei Capital, who is suspected of ascending.

"Haha, you're right."

The Supreme True Dragon chuckled and said:

"Believers are meaningless to me, and even the universe of Irondor is meaningless to me."

"I didn't bother to exert any more influence than leaving some necessary traces."

"So, boy, if you want to get something from me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Matthew immediately said:

"I didn't plan to gain anything from this fragment. It's an unexpected pleasure that I can talk to you."

The Supreme True Dragon responded calmly:

"Then your joy can end here."

The next second.

The bonfire gradually faded from Matthew's field of vision.

He immediately said:

“So, what exactly is detachment?”

The speed at which the bonfire faded suddenly stopped.

The voice of the Supreme True Dragon came two or three seconds later:

"Pretty limited options, that's all."

Matthew asked:

"What kind of choice? Become a higher-dimensional life?"

True Dragon said:

"It's not that mysterious."

"As a legendary mage, you can choose to hide in the mountains after death, or you can make up your mind to bury yourself under the sea."

"And the transcendent ones just have more places to bury their bones."

Matthew tried:

"Some?"

"You mean there are several more universes?"

The real dragon smiled and said:

"That's pretty much it."

Matthew pondered:

"You mean, the so-called transcendent beings, the so-called high-dimensional creatures, do not have much difference in thinking, life span or behavior from the life of Irondor?"

True Dragon said:

“There’s a difference, there’s no difference, that’s pretty much it.”

Matthew was surprised:

"almost?"

The real dragon responded:

"I can only answer this way. There are many things that cannot be accurately described by prophecy, but believe me, the transcendent is far less happy than a universe supreme."

Universe supreme?

Matthew wanted to ask more.

But the other party said impatiently:

"Okay, kid, I always hate to explain things to people."

"If you want to know more, then help me find the other fragments of this painting. If you agree to take this task, I can grant you some of the true dragon power and let you become the patriarch of the Dragon God Cult in the Eindo universe."

"More questions, wait until you collect the true dragon scroll."

After that.

The bonfire quickly dimmed.

Matthew felt much more relaxed, and when he came to his senses, the fragment had closed automatically.

...

"Hint: You have gained the recognition of the Supreme Dragon.

The True Dragon Fragment has been stimulated to have new functions--

1. When you approach other fragments, you will have a strong induction in your heart;

2. You can slowly strengthen your ability in the field of celebrity or reputation by absorbing the True Dragon's majesty on the fragment (the current default ability of strengthening is "above the dragon")

3. You have gained more exploration in the dragon field!

You have gained new abilities from the dragon field, "Dragon Breath" and "Dragon Scale Talisman"!

Dragon Breath: You have gained the dragon's breath ability (lightning \u0026 fire) equal to your own level, which can be used three times a day. The effect of this ability will increase as your level increases;

Dragon Scale Talisman: You can inject magic power into dragon scales to obtain a series of spells and spells that surpass the power of the same level"

...

"The Supreme Dragon doesn't seem so transcendent."

"He just doesn't care about faith, but he still pays close attention to this universe."

Matthew thought secretly in his heart.

In addition.

Sandrine and the others tried their best but failed to get a response from the Supreme Dragon, and he was noticed after just two touches, which made Matthew somewhat suspicious.

Even if there was a factor that the Sestan family betrayed the Supreme Dragon.

But he still felt that it was not that simple.

"It seems that even if we can find other fragments in the future, we have to be more careful."

A trace of caution flashed in Matthew's eyes.

As for the two abilities in the dragon domain.

Dragon Breath is a good close-range counterattack ability. It is strong in that it can grow and is almost instantaneous. It is useless to use it;

The value of the Dragon Scale Talisman lies in its quick production and its ability to amplify the power of spells.

Matthew's bag now has a lot of dragon scales.

He tried it.

It only takes five seconds to make a dragon scale talisman.

And the range of the spell released by the talisman is 5 to 10 times that of the original!

This is equivalent to a range amplifier that converts a single spell into a group spell.

This does not count the improvement of spell power and related judgments.

Matthew made several sets of dragon scale charms on the spot to keep for himself, such as mass malicious transformation, killing curse, and deadly scissors...

As long as it was something that ordinary dragon scales could withstand.

He tried to make them all.

"This is much better than the scroll!"

"It's just a little expensive."

After trying it out, Matthew put away the relevant materials.

Then.

He took out the Nine Hells document and examined it carefully.
