The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 124 Undead Construct

……

In the hazy moon forest.

A beam of moonlight fell and focused on Laila's body. In an instant, billowing white gas rose from her skin.

Lyra froze, her eyes turned white.

Matthew immediately noticed that the moonlight he attracted not only failed to transform Laila into a "Servant of the Moon", but had a burning effect on her body!
With quick eyesight and quick hands, he canceled the beam of moonlight in time!
……

"Reminder: Moonlight Goddess Asia has rejected your request to transform Lyra into a "Servant of the Moon"."

……

got rejected.

Matthew felt a little sorry.

It may be that she has gone whoring too many times recently, and Assia is a little dissatisfied, so she refuses to provide further help.

Originally, it was the best choice for Leila to switch to the Moonlight camp.

Because of power and domain, Asiya and Midnight God are natural enemies. Generally speaking, even if it is reserved for Midnight God's jokes, Moonlight Goddess should accept Laila.

The Obscure Moon Forest is the kingdom of the goddess, and Gaelan's power cannot reach here.

He didn't even know what happened to Laila inside.

This is one of the reasons why Matthew made a bold attempt.

Unfortunately, the result was not as expected.

But Matthew was not discouraged. Although the goddess directly refused, she gave another thing.

Matthew noticed.

After the moonlight disappeared, a pattern of a bright moon half covered by dark clouds appeared on Laila's forehead.

That is another mark of the goddess of moonlight.

……

"Reminder: Your partner Laila has obtained the primary blessing "Traveler's Mark" from Moonlight Goddess Asia.

Traveler's Seal: Those who hold this seal will be blessed by the moonlight. After reciting any one of the 5 "Moon Hymns" for 330 minutes under the moonlight, they will have the opportunity to apply for entry into the Moon Obscure Forest.

After receiving permission from the Goddess, he will have the opportunity to enter the woodland to rest for a while.”

……

traveller.

It is also one of Asiya's duties.

His way of responding was ingenious. He not only rejected Matthew's exorbitant price, but also gave him a little sweetness.

Lyra who has received the Traveler's Mark will have the opportunity to enter the woodland on her own.

But the premise is that Matthew should do more things to please the goddess.

This mark will not affect the relationship between Leila and Gailan.

The Traveler's Blessing is the most common low-level blessing. It cannot explain a believer's belief in other gods. At most, it can only show that she and Asia are friendly to each other.

At the same time, this treatment also retains the possibility of actually transforming Lila into Matthew's servant in the future.

"As expected of an old goblin who has lived for an unknown number of years, she has a knack for trying to catch her, and her handling is impeccable."

Matthew secretly sighed.

At this moment, Laila had come to her senses.

She touched the mark on her forehead, and her emotions rose up in a rare way:
"Can the north-south commercial road of the Oak Chamber of Commerce start to operate?"

Matthew led her towards the altar, and said as he walked:

"Don't worry, how is your human sociocultural study?"

Leila answered honestly:

"That knowledge is difficult for me, I feel stupid than the subterranean warthog, I can only do my best, but Ms. Jinli said that I did a good job, I don't know if she really praised me or just comforted me. "

Matthew replied:
"Ms. Jin Li has always been objective. She won't praise a student easily. Since she said you did a good job, then you are really good."

Laila was silent for a moment.

It's just that the pace has obviously become lighter.

The two came to the altar.

Under Matthew's call, Ella appeared soon.

"Matthew, I didn't expect you to come so early this time. Samantha and Craig are still on the way. I'm afraid you have to wait a while."

Ella happily landed on Matthew's shoulder.

But soon.

She jumped to the other shoulder.

Ella quickly glanced at the drow warrior wrapped in bandages, and whispered in Matthew's ear:
"I do not like her!"

Her voice was not loud.

But Lyra could clearly hear.

Matthew turned his head and reminded:

"You didn't like me when you first met me either."

Ella argued subconsciously:
"You are different, you are a very special existence, but drow, they are born with original sin."

Matthew intends to give an ideological education lesson to the obstinate soul of nature.

Who knew that at this moment, Laila actually took the initiative to say:

"She's right, drow is born evil, this soul of nature, I apologize to you for being born for drow, I want to completely shed this layer of skin all the time, and replace myself It’s a pity that I still can’t get what I want.”

Having said that, she paused slightly, pain and frustration flashed in her eyes, and her tone was low:
"If God's fire of punishment could wash away the original sin in my blood, I should be burned alive, but I still can't get rid of my attachment to life. At the moment of life and death, I was cowardly, and I sold my soul again, and then In exchange for a good night’s sleep. I’m still alive, and I’m doing well, so this natural soul is right, I’m living in this world with my sins.”

Matthew knew that Laila's heart was always full of pain and entanglement, but he didn't expect it to be this serious.

He patted Ella lightly, and then comforted him:

"After that divine punishment, you have been reborn from the ashes, Laila, you are no longer the old self, you don't have to be obsessed with past memories, you should embrace a new life and a new world."

Leila nodded:

"Of course I can understand everything you said, Matthew, and I'm doing exactly that, but I still can't accept the life you gave me with peace of mind, obviously he is the kind of life I most yearn for when I was underground , but whenever the night is quiet, my heart is always tormented—you don’t know the meaning behind the growth of every drow warrior.”

"In the deep city, in order to please the "Evil Queen Babaza", the drows were extremely crazy, killing, conspiracy, incest, tyranny... Too many sins were engraved on my body, I came out of there , those sins will be with me for the rest of my life.

Do you know what it takes to become a high-level drow warrior?

Day and night training, being beaten and whipped around the clock, always guarding against sneak attacks from peers... these are not the most difficult.

For me, the most difficult part is the final part of the promotion ceremony——

Every high-level drow warrior will be asked by the evil queen Babasha to go to the surface after passing the first few stages of the ceremony. He will let us find a human village and choose a family with children from the village. Killing their children in front of their parents. "

Speaking of it.

Lyra closed her eyes in pain.

Ella asked in a daze:
"So you killed it?"

"killed."

Lyra responded with a difficult voice:

"I remember very clearly that my instructor led me to find a very remote village. It was daytime, and all the men in the village went out to work, leaving only the old, young, women and children to do some simple work in their homes. .

The instructor found me a house where there was only a baby and his mother.

He tied up the mother and made her watch as I strangled her baby.

Under his threat, I complied.

When the baby was picked up by me, it stared with big eyes and smiled at me.

I can't forget his smile, or the sound of his mother howling in my ear.

Afterwards, I left the room in a daze, and when I woke up, the instructor had already killed all the old, weak, women and children in the village.

He regards this as a kind of honor, and intends to take this as a success and pray to the evil queen for blessing.

I got into an argument with him on the way back underground.

In the end I killed him.

I wanted to leave, but drow's identity is impossible to survive on the surface, and there is no place for me in other dungeons. In the end, I can only return to the deep city with the instructor's head and report to the city. Matron confessed that I killed him.

I thought I would be punished, but instead I was personally rewarded by the evil queen Babasha.

After that, I lived numbly in Deep City for a while, until later, I became a training instructor for high-level drow warriors.

Soon, I received a task——

The evil queen ordered me to lead a drow warrior to the surface to raid human villages and assist him in the last part of the ascension ceremony.

I couldn't convince myself to accept this mission, so I could only choose to defect in the end.

I've been wandering the Underdark since then..."

Speaking of it.

Lyra's recollection was interrupted by a rude voice:
"If I were you, I would return to that city and kill everyone who forced you to do evil deeds!"

On the other side of the altar, Samantha and the orc female sword Saint Craig came over.

They seemed to have heard a lot, and it was the latter who spoke.

Craig looked very angry, and the thick nostrils characteristic of orcs were blowing out:
"Instead of living in guilt all the time, it's better to do something real."

Laila froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:
"How can my power shake the rule of Abyss City? They are too powerful. Whether it is the mistress or the spider elves raised by the evil queen Babasha, it is impossible for me alone to compete."

The orc female sword master said without changing her face:
"Then take killing back as the goal of practice, just like what I'm doing now.

My hometown "Stuluk" was invaded by the evil empire many years ago, and now it has been reduced to ruins. I am the last orc who came out of Stuluk. I came to Aindor alone. The mainland is just to find an opportunity to kill back.

Whenever I think of those companions who went into exile with me but died halfway, I also feel anger and guilt in my heart, and I often ask God why I was only allowed to survive alone.

But these superfluous emotions have always only hindered my progress. I have learned to live with them and even turn them into my nourishment.

I firmly believe that one day, I will be able to kill Sturuk and avenge my hometown and relatives. "

Lyra stared at her blankly.

Craig met her gaze without hesitation.

"You're amazing."

Lyra said sincerely.

Inspired by Clegg's words.

She seemed to be in a much better mood.

Matthew and Samantha greeted each other before turning around and answering:

"Empire? Which empire? Is Sturuk a near-satellite in the astral world?"

Regarding Matthew's attitude, Clegg was much colder, and she just nodded.

Upon seeing this, Samantha took the initiative to explain:

"Sturuk is a subplane located in the astral world, a part of a near-satellite sphere. Clegg went through untold hardships to break through the encirclement and suppression of the vanguard of the Antu Empire, and arrived at Aindor alive. , she is indeed remarkable."

Hearing the last sentence, Clegg corrected seriously:

"It's not that I'm great, but my people are great.

You can't imagine how much they sacrificed to protect me, no, all sacrificed.

In the face of that terrible and evil fleet, our tribe is like a piece of paper, totally vulnerable.

My patriarch, the leader of Sturuk, the great legendary swordsman Proctor, once in order to protect the tribe, went alone to prevent the huge starship above the sky from landing on the surface.

Yes, opposite is a whole fleet with thousands of troops.

And he was alone.

Just because no one in the tribe can rise to the sky and fight except him.

He was an extraordinary existence, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him, but he chose to die brazenly.

I saw with my own eyes that Master Proctor used his lifelong skills to cut off the starship with a single sword!

At that time, everyone in the tribe was cheering, and everyone was admiring Lord Proctor's mighty power comparable to that of a god.

Only he himself still had a serious expression on his face.

We soon learned why.

Immediately after the starship broke, countless dense shadows flew out of it.

They surrounded Lord Proctor layer by layer like locusts, and finally devoured them.

As far as I know, Lord Proctor is already completely immune to magic, and even physical damage can only cause little damage to him.

But those locust-like monsters are units we have never seen before.

They are like undead who can only fly, and their bodies are covered with steel and structures.

They are full of negative energy unique to undead, but they are not as fragile as ordinary undead.

Neither cleanse nor dispel can work on them.

It was only after a long time that I realized that it was a technology that the Antu Empire was proud of and used to conquer all directions——

"Death Construct".

After Master Proctor was defeated, my hometown was completely reduced to a sea of ​​flames. Large tracts of farmland were burned to ruins, and all the orcs were exterminated. A strange construction.

When I left Stu Luke.

That planet has become another sub-base of the Antu Empire. Tall buildings have sprung up one after another. They set up big chimneys one after another on the plain, and countless steel giants that spray black mist and steam. Beasts ran across the plains, and groups of flying Necrons wandered among the mountains and above the clouds like nightmares.

I saw the colorful lights that lit up in those steel forests as the sun went down.

That was a scene I will never forget in my life.

It is also the motivation to remind me that I must avenge my people.

I say this for nothing else, just to remind you that you are not the only one who has suffered the injustice of fate in this world.

do not give up. "

from start to finish.

Craig was all talking to Lyla.

She seemed to regard Matthew as air.

But Matthew didn't mind. From the words of the other party, he already knew too much amazing information.

If the orc female sword master's hometown was really destroyed by the space necromancers of the Antu Empire, then it is reasonable for her to hate necromancers.

Although it is said that his own version is still at the stage of traditional necromancers.

And the Antu Empire, which likes to die, has evolved to the trendy gameplay of steel-constructed undead.

"I don't know the time I'm at now. Has the Antu Empire really perished? If it's based on the time in the game, the one who invaded Clegg's hometown should be just a wandering space necromancer. But if not, That would be a little troublesome. Forget it, Aindor is the main material world after all, and the barriers of the planes are extremely thick, not as easy to be invaded as the sub-planes hanging in the astral world. Besides, when the sky falls, there are tall people holding it up , with my current strength, it won't help to think too much."

Thought so.

But Matthew is still very interested in the Antu Empire's necromancer construction technique.

He had encountered this kind of army when he was playing games in his previous life. Unfortunately, he is a player who hardly reads the background introduction. He only likes to swipe. In his impression, apart from the fact that this kind of army is easy to explode gold coins, there is no other information up.

"As far as I know, this insect nest is also related to the Antu Empire."

Matthew said.

The orc female sword master glanced at him, and this time she actually spoke up:

"Yes, that's why I agreed to come to Samantha to help exterminate the Zerg."

"The Kuangse Zerg is not a powerful character. My hometown has been invaded by them several times, but they have been successfully expelled."

"I want to know what secrets are hidden in the base of the Antu Empire that was attacked by the Zerg."

Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, Matthew hurriedly struck while the iron was hot:
"Since you came to Aindor for help, have you contacted the Seven Saints Alliance about the Antu Empire?"

Craig's face darkened:

"Of course I have contacted, but the Seven Saints Alliance didn't pay attention to me at all. They left me in an abandoned stronghold on the east coast for more than a month, until I repeatedly came to ask for an answer, and a kind mage told me I, the Seven Saints Alliance, don't care about what happens outside of Aindor."

"It is impossible for the high-level league to provide me with any support. Afterwards, they drove me out like a beggar."

"This is the shame of my life!"

Matthew shook his head silently when he heard the words:
"Perhaps the Seven Saints Alliance doesn't even care much about Aindo."

"Mages are the most refined and self-interested creatures, they only care about themselves."

Samantha looked at him unexpectedly:
"Are you laughing at yourself?"

Matthew smiled and didn't say much.

"Let's go."

Samantha smiled and changed the subject, and reminded everyone of the purpose of tonight:
"In the past half a month, Clegg and I have cleared the outer perimeter of the worm nest. Tonight we will go directly into the gate. According to Clegg, kill the queen who hides in the depths and controls all the zerg queens. Can destroy all Kuangser Zerg."

"The goal of our trip is to find her and kill her."

talking room.

She activated the power of the altar.

The soft moonlight enveloped everyone.

quickly.

In a blink of an eye, they appeared directly on the 33rd floor of the insect nest!
Led by Samantha.

They left the confines of the Luna Shrine.

Soon after.

A huge iron gate appeared in front of them.

The iron gate and the underground space of the insect nest are integrated, and the surrounding stone walls are covered with thick luminous moss.

Matthew noticed.

There is a shiny device next to the iron door.

It looks like a card reader.

With a move in his heart, he dug out the access card found on the body of the Antu Empire researcher from his luggage:

"Do you need to use this thing?"

However, Samantha had already walked slowly to the card reader, took out another identical card from the inner lining of her blouse, and inserted it lightly.

She smiled and said:
"We found more than a dozen of these cards when cleaning out the peripheral bugs."

Matthew shrugged.

But after the access control card was inserted, there was no movement at the gate.

Samantha looked puzzled.

At this time.

Matthew stepped forward, took the card in her hand, flipped it in one direction, and swiped it from top to bottom naturally!
"Drip drip!"

A crisp electronic sound sounded.

Green light strips illuminate from both sides.

The door creaked open to both sides.

Samantha looked at Matthew in surprise:

"Why are you so proficient?"

Craig looked at him suspiciously.

Matthew had no choice but to explain:
"As a mage, "Knowledge of Other Worlds" is also a compulsory content. "

The voice fell.

The door jammed with a slam.

A gap was left for everyone to enter and exit only for two people.

A stale smell gushed out from inside.

Everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.

Then he looked inside curiously.
