The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 532 Great Astrologer

…

During this hurried journey through Purgatory.

Matthew has actually encountered quite a few demons with distinctive looks.

But no matter how strange and different these creatures are, they still exude a unique temperament that perfectly blends with the Purgatory environment.

Matthew calls it "devil temperament".

He guessed that this was caused by the common evil nature given to Purgatory creatures by the Blood River.

But Mrs. Wolf was a little different.

Matthew also felt the unique temperament of the devil in her.

But that temperament was very faint.

And her appearance was completely inconsistent with the style of all demons -

She looked like a humanoid creature with some wolf blood.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, and her face was small enough to make most human women jealous, but the circle of furry gray hair on the edge of her facial contour gave people a dangerous and mysterious feeling.

The facial condition was actually a microcosm of Mrs. Wolf as a whole.

She was furry in many places all over her body, a bit like the plush doll in Matthew's previous life memory.

This made her look not at all the terrifying and evil temperament of the devil, but rather a little...

cute?

I don't know if there are other reasons.

In short, when Matthew saw Mrs. Wolf for the first time, he felt a kind of intimacy in his heart.

This feeling made him alert.

He took a half step back:

"I don't understand what your definition of ordinary is."

"We are just here to do business."

Mrs. Wolf smiled slightly, her smile was very sweet, and it was completely inconsistent with her pretended cold voice, and even formed a strange contrast:

"My perception is very sensitive."

"I smelled the signal of danger from you, which means that you are definitely not as mediocre as you look on the surface."

"You don't have to guard against me, I have no ill will towards you."

"Besides, I am the only one who can save you here."

Said.

She quickly walked around in front of Matthew, and then gently tapped on the left side of the screen, and the landscape painting suddenly dissipated, replaced by an extremely flat and clear surveillance picture.

Matthew blinked.

Through the surveillance spell on the screen, the scene in the courtyard was in full view.

Mrs. Wolf pointed at the scorpion guards who were on guard and said:

"They are the most dangerous guys here."

"And that damn old witch."

"These scorpion men only obey me on the surface. In fact, they only obey the old witch's orders."

"I am no different from you. We are all poor prisoners trapped here."

Matthew asked calmly:

"But wasn't it you who just ordered my companions to be taken to the brainwashing room?"

"By the way, what is the brainwashing room for?"

Mrs. Wolf's delicate and cute little face showed deep helplessness:

"I am just maintaining my power on the surface."

"All new arrivals must be sent to the old witch for brainwashing before they are allowed to move around in the castle."

"I'm sorry, your two female companions may have been injected with the old witch's potion and become idiots with no memory and only primitive instincts left..."

Matthew's face immediately showed just the right amount of anger and astonishment.

Mrs. Wolf said again:

"Listen, if you don't listen to me, you will follow in their footsteps."

"The old witch is very powerful. Even if all of us join together, we may not be her opponent."

While speaking.

She suddenly retched, and then her throat moved, and she spit out a shiny, red pebble-like object from her mouth!

"Put this pebble under your tongue. Remember, if the scorpion guard takes you to the old witch and the latter wants to give you a potion, you should try to be gentle and don't expose the existence of this pebble!"

"With its protection, you won't be brainwashed, but you have to pretend to be brainwashed, otherwise you can't hide it from the old witch!"

"After passing this level, I will come to you soon, understand?"

Mrs. Wolf looked a little nervous.

While talking to Matthew, she looked at the surveillance in the courtyard from time to time, and even her voice trembled slightly.

Matthew frowned:

"How do I know you are not in the same group?"

Wolf Lady showed her fangs in anger.

She came close quickly and said quickly to Matthew's chest:

"Listen! Boy!"

"I took a big risk to save you. They only respect me on the surface and give me certain dispatching rights. No matter what I say, your companions will inevitably suffer this fate, even if you are really skilled. Do you understand?"

"Your fate was determined when you were brought to this castle. It has nothing to do with whether I give orders or not!"

"Also, those damn scorpion people will take you away at any time. When you are brainwashed into an idiot, don't regret not listening to me!"

Looking at the other party's anxious and nervous look.

Matthew actually felt a kind of pleasure of satisfying his evil taste.

But at this moment.

He can almost confirm that Wolf Lady really has no ill will towards him and others, and her own strength is also very weak, which does not pose much threat to him.

Matthew plans to show some of his cards.

But at this moment, footsteps came from outside the house.

Mrs. Wolf looked back nervously.

Above the screen.

But Carmela and Sandrine were walked back one after another, sandwiched by two scorpion guards.

It seems that the location of the brainwashing room is not far from the courtyard.

"Did you see that?"

"Their eyes are dull and there is drool hanging from the corners of their mouths. This is a sign that they have been violently brainwashed by chemicals!"

Mrs. Wolf’s speaking speed became faster:

"If you still don't believe it, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Said.

She looked like she was going to swallow the red pebble.

But the next moment.

Matthew snatched it over and played with it carefully.

…

"Hint: You got a copy of "Wolf Demon Inner Elixir (???)"."

…

Wolf demon?

Just when Matthew was surprised by this unprecedented word on the data column.

Mrs. Wolf also noticed something abnormal from the surveillance spell screen.

"Huh?"

She snorted slightly.

The furry little head leaned closer to the screen, as if he wanted to see some details in the picture clearly.

After a few seconds.

She saw Carmela and Sandrine re-enter the courtyard and then stand motionless.

Subsequently.

The two Scorpions responsible for escorting them said something to their companions.

Very quickly.

Two more scorpions hurriedly walked towards the brainwashing room.

This scene surprised Mrs. Wolf.

She stared intently for a long time, then suddenly said in surprise:

"She wasn't brainwashed?"

"Is she disguised?"

Mrs. Wolf pointed at Sandrine in the screen and said.

Matthew took a look.

I couldn't help but secretly shake my head at Sandrine's poor acting skills.

But it was time for the showdown anyway.

There is nothing left to keep hiding.

So he smiled and said:

"It seems that the witch's brainwashing technique does not work on everyone."

"Maybe she got the wrong brainwashing target?"

At Matthew's suggestion.

Only then did Mrs. Wolf notice that the two scorpion men responsible for escorting were obviously in something wrong.

Immediately after their previous conversation with their companions, they showed a strange state of being unable to concentrate and their eyes could not focus.

"The ones who were brainwashed were the scorpion guards?"

Mrs. Wolf was shocked.

Immediately she looked at Matthew warily:

"Did you know this would happen?"

"What tricks did your companions use to deceive the witch?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Matthew didn't have to reply.

The last two scorpion guards in the courtyard finally realized something was wrong with their companions——

Even the remaining tiefling merchants noticed the change in the atmosphere.

But at this time.

A beautiful and cheerful flute sounded.

Wherever the sound goes.

Everyone's eyelids were clenched and they were drowsy!

It didn't take long.

The tiefling merchants and remaining scorpion guards in the picture fell to the ground one after another.

They fell asleep soundly, with happy smiles on their faces, as if they were having an endless dream.

The look of horror on Mrs. Wolf's face became even more intense.

The next moment.

The wooden house was pushed away from the outside.

Lorraine came in from outside holding a flute and greeted Matthew:

"Does this one need me to blow it?"

Matthew raised his hand to stop her:

"No need."

Luo Lan was surprised and said:

"I thought you would need it."

"After all, this lady looks like she might be your cup of tea."

Matthew couldn't help but rolled his eyes:

"no thanks."

"I can do it by myself."

Luo Lan withdrew with a look of regret:

"It seems like you like to do it hard. In fact, sometimes, being half asleep and half awake is more interesting..."

"Call me anytime you need me, I'll be right outside."

"You have about two hours or so."

"But it's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams, so we'd better go as quickly as possible."

Matthew nodded.

Without the numerical suppression of the Shadow Demon Legion, Loren and Carmela, two legends with full control abilities, could easily exert their own strength.

The only variables in this castle right now are the remaining group of scorpion guards and the Wolf Lady in front of them.

Lorraine can handle the former.

The latter was naturally left to Matthew.

"You, your companions knocked them all down?"

"How is this possible?"

"Who are you?"

"You have such strength, why were you caught by Sanchester?"

Mrs. Wolf seemed to be waking up from a dream.

Her eyes were full of surprise, but soon turned into worry and wariness.

Matthew can certainly understand the change in the other person's attitude.

Before that, she wanted to cooperate with herself and be able to completely take the initiative.

But the current situation was completely beyond her control.

Some anxiety is normal.

Matthew said to her softly:

"I'm sorry, but our origins must be kept secret."

"But if what you just said is true, now may be your best chance to escape."

"If you cooperate with us, at least your situation will not be worse than before, right?"

Mrs. Wolf hesitated and said:

"Are you sure your companions have taken care of the old witch?"

Matthew blinked:

"I can take you there to have a look."

Mrs. Wolf bit her lip and nodded quickly.

After a few minutes.

The two walked out of the brainwashing room side by side, which smelled of decay.

After seeing the old hag who had been brainwashed by Carmela into a walking zombie in the room, Mrs. Wolf became lighter.

Her steps were as light as a girl's.

Her tone also became normal, a slightly sweet voice:

"I thought I couldn't wait for this day. I thought I had to take a desperate risk and narrowly escape this old witch to get rid of this old witch. I really didn't expect this day to come in this form!"

"Anyway, thank you!"

She expressed sincere gratitude.

Matthew nodded slightly:

"I have a lot of questions for you."

Mrs. Wolf said cheerfully:

"As long as you let me leave this castle, I will answer all your questions - as long as I know."

Matthew immediately asked:

"What is your relationship with the Phantom Baron?"

Mrs. Wolf pursed her lips, and the joy on her face quickly faded, but she still quickly answered:

"I'm his ex-wife."

"I saved his life, helped him overthrow the brutal rule of the previous Phantom Baron, and cleared many obstacles for him in the territory."

"But in the end, in order to hook up with the Demon Queen, he not only abandoned me, but also cooperated with the Queen's men to imprison me here..."

"I hate that man so much."

"And Gracia's Bichi!"

This answer is similar to what Matthew had in mind.

He asked again about the relationship between Lady Wolf and the Shadow Demon leader Sanchester.

"Sanchester was my suitor. He liked me a long time ago but was afraid to show it."

"I know this, so I secretly wrote to him this time to tell him that I need some souls as materials for practicing alchemy, and only he can help me."

Mrs. Wolf sighed and said:

"As you can see, I am imprisoned in this castle, and the old witch is the biggest stalker."

"She reports to the Baron every week on how I am doing."

"Her magic power is very powerful. It is difficult for me to fight against her. I have been practicing alchemy on the surface over the years, but I have actually been seeking a way to escape through contact with outsiders."

"Sanchester probably knows this. If he dares to come here, he has already taken a huge risk."

"The old witch probably knows it too. I guess she might deliberately let some people come into contact with me to give me hope of escape, and then kill them severely. This is where her fun lies. I know this very well."

"Two times before, I actually found opportunities to escape through communication with other outsiders, but I gave up in the end because at the last moment, I recognized that it was a trap set by the old witch to play hard to get!"

"That damn guy!"

"She doesn't have much life left, so she likes to torture other people to get satisfaction. If I hadn't been worried about alerting the baron, I should have chopped off her head just now!"

She looked full of resentment towards the old witch.

After hearing this, Matthew asked thoughtfully:

"You said that the Phantom Baron abandoned you in order to seduce the Demon Queen."

"It seems like he doesn't have much affection for you either."

"But why did he choose to imprison you instead of just killing you?"

Mrs. Wolf raised her little face and hummed:

"He didn't dare."

Matthew was a little surprised.

"I have a teacher. Although he hasn't appeared for a long time, his reputation is enough to shock Xiaoxiao."

Mrs. Wolf said proudly.

Matthew's heart moved:

"Your teacher..."
