A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

 Chapter 364 My fireball will hold a grudge!

 …

Seeing that the thick tongue was about to lick Matthew and others, a white light flashed at the critical moment, and Peggy, who transformed into the Valkyrie of the Moon, immediately cut it off.

 Suddenly.

 A strong stench filled the surface of the lake.

The tongue slumped and fell.

Countless jet-black flames burst out from the huge Buddha's head.

 Follow.

Those flames turned into countless black and purple tongues, licking upward fiercely.

Peggy’s figure turned into streaks of white light.

 She was very fast, swimming in the black flames like a graceful white butterfly.

Philoleus also flew violently above the lake. The bone dragon sprayed out a large amount of poison and tore the tongues hard.

 A portal appeared behind him.

 A large number of undead creatures poured in crazily.

 Over the lake.

Many undead creatures fell directly into the lake, but they seemed to be able to swim. They splashed in the lake water a few times and climbed up by grabbing the edge of the Buddha's head.

 A period of time.

 A large number of undead creatures crawled on the surface of the Buddha.

They are like black and white maggots or ants, stubbornly resisting the attacks of the thick tongues on the Buddha's head.

These tongues are truly terrifying.

However, the undead army had no fear. Under the orders of Philoleus, the undead people quickly gained an advantage in the situation.

 A large number of tongues were cut off by their roots.

Even the eyes in the Buddha’s head were gouged out by A Bing and Forty-Seven!

 Seeing that the younger brothers under his command showed their special abilities, they temporarily stabilized the situation.

Matthew also breathed a sigh of relief. He forcibly held down the bamboo stick behind his back that was about to move—

 Since the first time Lance appeared.

This spiritual weapon is intended to give the other party a bit of a show.

But Matthew thought it would be too wasteful to use it like this.

 Before coming to Jade Cangting.

Matthew has done in-depth research on the group of warlocks. He is confident that he can deal with the legendary warlocks with his own strength!

 Look at the lively fighting below.

Oluolin suddenly said with hindsight:

 “Do you want me to throw a fireball?”

Matthew shook his head repeatedly:

“No need to, but I did encounter a special situation and may need your help, so I chose to assemble indiscriminately.”

 “I thought you wouldn’t respond to my call…”

 O'Loughlin rightfully said:

“Hey, Matthew, what you said is obvious. I just like to sleep in, and I’m not a cold-blooded guy towards my friends.”

“But having said that, your summons this time is really not the right time.”

Matthew asked:

"How to say?"

 “What were you doing when I called you?”

O'Loughlin said:

“I arrived in a brand new underground city. When I entered the city gate, I met a group of drow. They seemed to have heard of my reputation. As soon as they saw me, they told me, ‘You can’t go in again!’…”

Matthew asked:

 “Then how did you originally plan to respond?”

Oluolin spread his hands:

 “I’m going to fill their mouths with fireballs!”

 “Look, I’ve already started rubbing it, can you just throw one in...”

 “No, I can’t hold it in any longer!”

　　Boom!

 A fierce fire streaked across the lake.

 The horrific explosion spread from the lake more than a hundred meters away.

Countless water waves rolled back around.

 It forms a wave that is concave inwards.

 A large amount of white gas rose on the lake, even the Buddha's head and the nearby undead were affected!

 “Yang Yan Explosion?”

"who are you?"

“Why would a lich like you work for an ignorant mage?”

Lance’s surprised voice came from the surrounding mirrors.

However, Orolin didn't answer him at all.

 Until Matthew nudged his shoulder.

He then realized:

 “Oh, are you talking to me?”

 “But I just use ordinary fireball spells...”

 Sixteen mirrors flashed with a long green light.

 With the change of surrounding light.

 The Buddha head on the lake suddenly disappeared without a trace.

 Legendary warlock Lance fell into a long silence.

 At this time.

 The God of War Zombie Vasnov spoke:

 “He has changed his mind and plans to use delay to kill you.”

“If I read it correctly, this is the space of evil thoughts of warlocks. Only warlocks with extremely powerful spiritual power are qualified to create such a vast and extremely real spiritual power plane.”

Matthew nodded to Vasnov:

“This is indeed a space of evil thoughts, and the person who pulled me in is Lance.”

Vasnov snorted softly:

“Ah, I remember him, a sinister and cunning lunatic, who seduced the Elf Queen who many people in Tianlun Palace miss, and almost made the Prime Material World a hotbed for the proliferation of void masters.”

Matthew knew that Vasnov was definitely more authoritative than everyone present in terms of knowledge.

 His memory had not recovered before, but now it seems that he has remembered many things.

So Matthew asked directly:

 “How much do you know about warlocks?”

 Vasnov said calmly:

“The magician must be the most spiritually gifted human being.”

“Only in this way can they sense the call of the overlord from outside the territory. Since they themselves do not have the ability to cast spells, they need to obtain spells through communication with the overlord.”

“For these reasons, the warlock has a small repertoire of spells, but each spell is usually powerful.”

"Warlocks have extremely exaggerated requirements for mental power. They will use many incredible methods to improve their mental power. If most of them do not have enough ether affinity ability, they will become more powerful than mages. A more powerful group.”

Oluolin couldn't help but interjected:

 “So how do warlocks usually exercise their mental strength?”

Vasnov glanced at him and replied:

 “Experience all kinds of life.”

“In a sense, the method used by warlocks to enhance their spiritual power is similar to that of warlocks’ awakening. Both require extreme emotions to stimulate themselves.”

“It’s just that the warlock stimulates the soul, while the warlock stimulates the blood.”

“As far as I know, some high-level warlocks will experience different stimulations by attaching their souls to the bodies of others.”

“For example, a woman who has been insulted, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, a weak person whose family has been destroyed...the pain, joy, sorrow, and despair of these creatures can stimulate their souls and make their spiritual power continue to grow.”

“Because it is very troublesome to passively search for creatures that are experiencing extreme stimulation, many magicians like to actively create human tragedies in order to attach themselves to various living creatures to improve themselves.”

"But this improvement is not without cost. In most cases, negative emotions are far more powerful than positive emotions. Therefore, most warlocks use negative emotions to stimulate the soul, which will cause a hidden danger. —

When they use the pain of the weak to stimulate their own spirits, a spirituality called evil thoughts will also accumulate in their souls.

These evil thoughts are the curse of the soul possessed by them when they are on the verge of collapse.

 When enough evil thoughts are combined together, a new evil consciousness will be created.

 Once this consciousness arises, it will reside in the soul of the warlock and slowly replace it.

 This process is irreversible and there is no solution.

 The only way to delay it is to build a cage for this evil consciousness.

 This is the origin of the space of evil thoughts.

He is actually not a means of combating the warlock's enemies.

 It is a self-protection measure.

After all, the legendary warlock can kill many opponents with his mental power alone, and bringing enemies into the space of evil thoughts is a high-risk and low-return thing..."

"If our opponent is really Lance, then it means that he is a bit exaggerated."

 Pap, pah, pah!

Oluolin clapped his hands vigorously:

 “Excellent science popularization!”

“You look so majestic and extraordinary—were you also tricked into joining the team by Matthew?”

Matthew immediately corrected himself and said:

 “Hey, Oralin, I didn’t lie to you.”

Oluolin looked at Matthew resentfully:

 “Yes, you didn’t lie to me.”

 “But you used it too hard.”

Vasnov looked at Orolin with the same interest:

 “The legendary lich?”

 Then he looked at Matthew again:

“Hehe, you are indeed more unscrupulous than I thought.”

“Don’t tell me that you made this Mr. Lich obey you through serious means.”

Matthew held out his hands to stop the two guys.

His expression is quite serious:

“Gentlemen, there is a legendary warlock lurking beside us!”

“Let’s think about how to get rid of this evil space first!”

Vasnov looked calm and relaxed:

“Don’t be nervous, the space of evil thoughts is not the Kingdom of God, and it does not have that much suppression on outsiders.”

“Haven’t you noticed that our spells, abilities, and even physical attacks are all real and effective?”

“This means that the warlock’s control over the space of evil thoughts does not reach the level of tampering with the rules.”

“This place will only suppress your concentration level and speed up the consumption of your mental energy.”

“Here, his only advantage is his almost unlimited mental power.”

“If I’m not wrong, he will consume us with one crisis after another. When our mental power continues to decline, our bodies will become more and more exhausted.”

“At that time, it is possible to sink into this illusion forever.”

"But you have divinity in your hands, you can delay it for a long, long time..."

When Matthew heard what he said, he knew that Vasnov must have a way to deal with the magician.

 “If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly.”

 While Matthew was talking to him, he was alert to the changes around him.

I don’t know if the presence of Olorin and Vasnov shocked Lance.

 After the previous fireball passed.

Time in the space of evil thoughts seems to have stopped.

 Except for the green light in my eyes.

 Matthew sensed nothing.

 Vasnov said leisurely:

“I really didn’t expect Lance to send you to his evil space. Haha, we can try to find his spiritual origin here—

This is not difficult. The spiritual origin of a magician is often symbiotic with his evil thoughts, and evil thoughts are the most conspicuous existence in the space of evil thoughts.

 We just need to find Lance’s evil thoughts.

 You can find his spiritual origin.

 After that, I can teach you a method through which you can directly devour Lance's spiritual origin.

 Although it is possible to be contaminated by evil thoughts.

 But as long as you don’t do it often, this evil thought will not develop and grow.

 The spiritual source you devour will greatly enhance your mental power, thereby increasing your concentration level.

 I think for any mage.

 This is an excellent opportunity right now, right? "

As he spoke, his eyes wandered in the sixteen mirrors around him:

“Most people may think that these mirrors are used to deal with outsiders.”

“Actually, no, these mirrors are just cages, used by magicians to trap evil thoughts!”

“His spiritual origin is in a subspace behind these sixteen mirrors. Do you want to have a taste of being a warlock?”

 Vasnov’s voice was full of temptation.

Matthew was unmoved:

 “State your terms.”

 Vasnov immediately said:

“I will take you to find the source of your spirit and teach you the secret method of devouring it, but you have to share half of Lance’s spiritual power with me!”

Matthew raised his eyebrows:

 “At most a quarter!”

Vasnov didn’t even think about it:

"make a deal!"

Matthew was a little puzzled:

 “Your bottom line is so low?”

Vasnov took it for granted:

“You are the boss, you have the final say, and whatever I get is earned.”

Matthew didn’t even have time to sigh that this guy’s mentality was quite good.

 The illusions around him suddenly disappeared!

 Follow.

 A huge force pushed them out from somewhere!

 “Hey, no, let us go in…”

 Vasnov hasn’t finished speaking yet.

Matthew’s feet stepped firmly on the wooden floor.

 He looked around.

 The empty bud door is still open.

 They have returned to the Windward Valley!

It's just that Matthew appeared out of thin air with such a wave of undead, which immediately caused some panic in the valley, especially Philolius's huge size and terrifying image, which triggered a series of screams!

Matthew turned a blind eye to this.

 Because it’s very fast.

 He once again sensed the aura of the legendary warlock—

 Lance, dressed in gentleman's clothes, stood at the edge of the wooden platform with an expressionless expression.

His eyes were a little complicated:

 “The Valkyrie of the Moon, the legendary lich, the false **** whose spiritual power is so powerful that no one can understand... What you just discussed scares me!”

“I really didn’t expect that a less-than-legendary necromancer could possess such outstanding undead as you!”

 “To be honest, I want to be friends with some of you...”

“Actually, you can live quite well without Matthew, right?”

The voice fell.

 Matthew’s inner warning signs suddenly appeared!

 …

“Warning: Lance the Warlock is using Bewitch and Incite on your minions!

 He is trying to turn your followers against you!

 Your ability "Defend Strictly" (Tauren Domain) has taken effect!

Your minions are immune to Warlock Lance's Bewitchment and Incitement...

 Your tauren authority breeding progress is increased by 11% (resistance)!

 Current pregnancy progress: 55%‖

  …   Want to incite rebellion among my followers?

Matthew's heart suddenly filled with anger.

He grabbed Oluolin’s sleeve:

 “Become one with me!”

Unexpectedly, the latter said with a troubled face:

 “This is not good, Matthew.”

Matthew could only do the next best thing and pointed at Lance:

 “Hit him with a fireball!”

 “Remember to aim!”

Oluolin said cheerfully:

 “That’s no problem!”

Lance's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but growl:

 “Matthew!”

 “Your methods are destined to be in vain against the Mark of the Dead!”

"And if you do this, you will offend many people. Don't you know how many people want to kill you and then get away with it?"

 “You have become Isabel’s pawn, it’s still too late to turn back now!”

 Facing the bewitchment of the sorcerer.

Matthew directly raised his hand:

“There are many people who want to be chess pieces but have no chance.”

“How do you know that I am not a chess piece willingly?”

 The next second.

 Eight tentacles in a row swept out from under the wooden platform and suddenly grabbed the warlock's body.

 Lance’s windbreaker suddenly shriveled up.

 Crackling.

 A few gold coins fell to the ground.

Vasnov took a look and said:

"It's a clone. His body has left the material world. Heh, what a cautious guy, what a clever escape route..."

Soon he looked at the brighter and brighter fire around him with some confusion and asked:

“The enemies have all run away, why are you still rubbing it?”

Oluolin said with a smile:

 “You don’t know this, do you?”

 “My fireball will hold a grudge!”

 The next second.

The fireball, about one meter in diameter, slammed out. The fireball burned Lance's windbreaker, ignited the flower buds next to it, and then suddenly disappeared into the void!

 Two minutes later.

  Such a message suddenly flashed on Matthew's data bar.

 …

 Hint: Your partner Orolin destroyed the "Three Eyes Tavern" in the sampan plane!

Lance the Warlock was hit from behind by a fireball, seriously injured, and lost his hair...

  Warlock Lance’s hatred towards you +10!

  The Dragon God will have +1 hatred towards you! "

 …

 A fireball that can attack across dimensions?

 This is somewhat outrageous.

 At this moment, Matthew and others have left the original platform.

 After confirming that it was safe, he sent most of the undead back to their original places, leaving only Peggy, Orolin and Vasnov.

“So what you said before, is there really a way to swallow the spiritual origin of others?”

 Matthew asked Vasnov.

 The latter nodded and said:

"certainly."

 “Haven’t you heard of the Sea Elf Meditation Method?”

Matthew was slightly startled:

“The principle of sea elf meditation is to swallow other people’s spiritual power?”

 Vasnov chuckled and said:

“Then do you think there are other ways to quickly improve spiritual power in this world?”

“The people who originally created this secret method did not want outsiders to know the secret, so they deliberately created a confusing name when naming it. They did not want this secret method to be spread widely.”

Oluolin asked curiously:

“Is it because you are afraid that once this secret method spreads, the whole world will become a world where people cannibalize people?”

 Vasnov shook his head:

"no."

“I’m worried that after others obtain the secret method, they will eat up the people they want to eat.”

Matthew shuddered after hearing this.

 What kind of race are sea elves?

　　Why are the Sea Elf Meditation Technique and the Sea Elf Reincarnation Technique so evil?

 He glanced at Vasnov.

Perhaps the naming of this secret method is not just as simple as the creator wanting to confuse the eyes of outsiders.

 “Then please pass on the secret method to me first.”

Matthew said thoughtfully.

Peggy asked curiously:

 “But haven’t we all been kicked out of that space?”

Matthew shrugged:

“I left two spell coordinates in his evil space.”

　　“I may not be able to visit in the future.”

Oluolin also said with a smile:

“By coincidence, I also left two transparent bones on the lake.”

Peggy looked at Matthew and then at O'Loughlin, and couldn't help but make a sharp comment:

 “You two are in the same boat.”

 Then she hooked Vasnov by the shoulders:

“Fortunately, we have two relatively simple minds, which can make our team look less evil and greasy.”

 However, at this time.

 Matthew and Oluolin’s expressions changed.

 “Damn it, my spell coordinates were discovered!”

 Matthew sighed.

Oluolin was also a little dejected:

 “So are my bones…”

 At this time.

Vasnov calmly got out of Peggy's arms, and he winked at Matthew.

Matthew understood and threw down an upgraded version of the sound barrier.

 “I left a psychic worm inside.”

“I controlled the wandering insect to hide in a mirror, and he hasn’t noticed my existence yet.”

 Vasnov whispered:

"I'm looking for his spiritual origin. When I find it, we will teleport directly across the plane and eat him up!"

 “But I need some time, the swimming insects crawl very slowly...”

 “At most three days!”

Matthew looked at him suspiciously:

“You haven’t found your spiritual origin and are secretly eating alone, right?”

 Vasnov said helplessly:

“We have signed a deep contract, and you can control the insects I release!”

“Wait, you can look, but don’t take action, I’m afraid your manipulation will be discovered by him!”

Matthew had a thought in his mind.

Through his contract with the God of War Zombie, he found a completely new perspective. It was a worm swimming on a pitch-black water!

He directly took over Vasnov's perspective and authority, and after confirming that the latter was not lying, he contentedly withdrew from the worm's vision.

 The data column is displayed.

 Tauren element +1.

 “Good guy, does this count?”

 Matthew couldn't help but plan to control the wandering insects for a while longer.

 They then left the somewhat turbulent Windward Valley.

 When returning to the mage camp near the Mark of the Dead.

Peggy asked:

 “That stinky sissy said it was just a warning.”

 “What are you going to do next?”

Matthew is also thinking about this problem quickly.

Cetrunk and the Silver Frost Brotherhood behind it, the warlock Lance and the Scourge Order that are closely related to it, the Elders of the Wood Elves, Baruch's Dragon God Society, the entrance to the star realm, There are other potential enemies... The small Windward Valley can no longer be described as harboring filth and evil!

 This group of lunatics are already the sworn enemies of the Alliance.

Warlock Lance’s move is more like a tentative clarion call.

There are countless people watching from behind.

If Matthew does nothing next, similar things will only happen more and more!

 There is no way he would back down.

 However, this means that he will face a pervasive assassination operation!

unless…

 “I plan to strike first!”

  Matthew made a decisive decision.

Peggy asked not surprisingly:

"Tomorrow?"

Matthew shook his head:

"Right now!"

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and started writing:

“Send me this emergency recruitment order for Alliance mages! I am now a second-level council member, and I have this authority...”

“Ordinary members of the Mark of the Dead project? No need to call them, I have other arrangements for them.”

“Take this and return to the cemetery, then find Fandral or David in the Crucible House. The sooner the better!”

"Me? Of course I have other tasks..."

Matthew quickly wrote a scroll and handed it to Peggy. After a while, his figure disappeared into the night.

 …

After one hour.

 A shocking news spread throughout Jade Cangting and its surrounding areas.

 While Matthew, the tree-planting mage, was having fun in Windward Valley, he was attacked by the legendary warlock Lance, which triggered riots in Windward Valley.

 The latter escaped unscathed from the attack.

 The former was seriously injured. Although his life is not in danger at the moment, it will take a long time to recover.

For this reason, even the newly restarted S-class project may be implicated...

 As soon as the news came out.

The top brass of Jade Cangting and many forces in the south are confirming its authenticity.

 There are many shadows in the darkness, ready to move.

Most people don’t understand the real situation.

But what is certain is that they found that all the Alliance mages who were actively promoting the Death Scorched Earth plan returned to the camp where Matthew was located.

 All the mages showed no signs of leaving.

 As for what exactly happened inside.

 Outsiders naturally don’t know.

at the same time.

 An inconspicuous cabin quite far away from the Trace of the Dead.

 A figure appears here.

This is a hidden safe house set up by the Alliance of Seven Saints near Jade Cangting.

Most of the time this safe house is vacant.

  Will only be enabled in emergencies.

 Inside the safe house.

Matthew’s eyes swept over everyone present.

 In addition to myself, there are four Alliance mages who responded to this emergency recruitment order—

 Hibbert.

 Feliwen.

 Hood.

And the legendary mage Mulan, known as the Shield of Gemstone Mountain.

 About the last Matthew, I really didn’t expect it.

 He originally thought that it would be good if he could call the first three.

 As for issuing an emergency recruitment order, it is to obtain some dispatchable emergency resources.

  Let's say this secluded safe house.

 Facing Matthew’s confused gaze.

Mulan smiled and explained:

“I happened to be capturing a demon near here, but I lost the clue about the demon. Anyway, it’s nothing. After receiving your message, I wanted to come over and have a look.”

Matthew nodded slightly:

 “This trip might be a little dangerous.”

Mulan smiled and said:

“What could be more dangerous than dealing with the devil?”

Matthew thought for a while:

 “I plan to reach the star realm.”

Mulan was shocked.

Soon he showed an incredible look:

 “Did I hear correctly?”

“Wait a minute, aren’t you planting trees near the Scar of the Dead and planning some kind of protective umbrella?”

 “Why are you suddenly attacking the star realm?”

 Matthew did not answer.

 He just looked at Mulan calmly.

 The latter showed a hint of interest:

"Can."

"I heard the news that you were attacked on the way here. Young people have a hot temper..."

“I understand the rules, I’m joining, and you are still the main conductor.”

"But I must explain in advance that I am only good at protective spells and not very good at fighting. If you expect me to defeat some powerful enemies, you may be miscalculating."

Matthew nodded:

 “Welcome to join us.”

“My current plan is divided into two stages.”

“The first stage is to clear out Jade Cangting, focusing on attacking the evil organizations in Windward Valley.”

“The second stage is to find the passage connecting the windward valley to the star realm, and then we will go straight to Huanglong and destroy the springboard called the sampan plane!”

 Mulan asked:

 “So let’s do phase one first?”

Matthew shook his head:

 “I plan to carry out both stages at the same time!”

 “Do you have any ideas?”

 …
