The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 516: The Eye of Blasphemy and the Light of Judgment

……

The projection of the devil Buye in the material world is just a human-like body.

Most of it is covered in a tangle of shadows and wispy vines.

Especially the face.

Matthew stared at his face for a long time.

It was as if I saw a bottomless whirlpool!

He knew that this was an illusion effect of a spell-like nature, so he quickly shifted his gaze.

"Mr. Matthew."

"First of all, I want to thank you for sparing my mount."

Buye’s voice is quite nice, giving people a very young and youthful feeling.

Matthew replied calmly:
"It's just a little effort."

"Besides, I have no reason to kill him. I just don't want to see him and my friends have unnecessary conflicts."

Buye laughed and said:

"You made the right choice."

"You are very smart."

"I wasn't used by that bitch Xue Ji!"

When the name Xue Ji is mentioned.

Buye seemed to be gritting his teeth.

Matthew's expression changed slightly:

"You hate her?"

"Of course!"

Buye said angrily:

"That cunning woman, she took advantage of me!"

"She made so many promises to me, but in the end she didn't keep any of them!"

"In the end, she accused me of being too greedy!"

"During the years when I helped her pacify this country, didn't she know what I wanted?"

"No!"

"She knew, she knew exactly what I wanted."

"It's just that she has been pretending and making excuses for herself!"

"She enjoyed the kingdom I conquered for her with a clear conscience, but in the end, she was unwilling to even meet my humblest request!"

"How could I not hate her?!"

Accompanied by the devil's angry accusation.

His projection also twisted violently. For a moment, the wind on the balcony became even stronger. Even the platform under Matthew's feet trembled slightly, as if it might disintegrate at any time!
Matthew quickly said a few words to comfort him.

Only then did Buye calm down.

"So, it's her that you want, right? Then why did she reject you?"

Matthew asked curiously.

Buye replied indignantly:

"ugly!"

"She said that I was too ugly and she instinctively felt repelled, so she couldn't be with me!"

Matthew sneered in his heart when he heard this:

"It seems that my guess was right. Xue Ji is really not a good person!"

"Is beauty or ugliness so important compared to a territory of the Thousand Lakes Nation?"

At this moment.

Buye suddenly turned to Matthew.

His blurry head gradually took on its true appearance.

After a few seconds.

Buye's projection completely turned into a clear humanoid creature.

But after seeing Buye's face, Matthew fell into a long silence again.

"and many more……"

"This is indeed a humanoid creature!"

"But it seems to only meet the minimum standards of humanoid creatures..."

Matthew was silent.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart was chilled.

This Demon King Buye is indeed too ugly.

Maybe no normal person can accept such an ugly partner?
His attitude towards Xue Ji was slightly reversed.

"Mr. Matthew, tell me the truth, do you think I am ugly?"

Buye asked angrily.

Matthew hesitated for two seconds and said against his conscience:

"good……"

“It can only be said to be average…”

Moderately ugly?

Matthew added secretly in his heart.

Buye immediately said confidently:
"I told you, didn't I? I'm not ugly at all, it's that bitch who's lying!"

"To be honest, I've asked many demons and warlocks before, but no one said I'm ugly!"

"Only Xueji is alone!"

"She insulted my love for her with such a cheap excuse!"

"She is not a human being!"

Matthew silently felt the resentment coming towards him, and his teeth itched a little:
"Hiss..."

"That's right. Although you are not bad looking, you do have a lot of room for improvement in terms of charm."

"As a warlock, Ms. Xueji must prefer beings with high charisma."

"How about wearing a mask and casting a charm spell, or taking a transformed form with higher charm?"

He tries to give sincere advice.

Unexpectedly, he encountered strong resistance from Buye:
"Why do I have to wear a mask? I'm not a demon who likes to hide my head and show my tail!"

"As for Transfiguration, that's even more nonsense. This is how I look. I hate dishonest people!"

Matthew subconsciously wanted to give him some more advice.

Unexpectedly, Buye suddenly choked:
"You like to recommend charm-related items or spells so much, do you sell charm dust?"

"You are so handsome, it must be the result of using Transfiguration and Charm Dust, right?"

Matthew opened his mouth.

Under Buye's questioning gaze.

He sighed secretly in his heart.

Buye, however, took Matthew's action as his consent.

He said cheerfully:
"I knew you must have been processed later!"

"How is it possible that someone is naturally so beautiful? Hahahaha!"

He seemed to be more balanced.

Matthew suddenly felt.

This great devil from the abyss doesn't seem to be that difficult to deal with.

He calmly brought the topic back on track:

"So, this is where the falling out between you two started?"

Buye nodded.

"She can't accept my appearance, I can understand."

"In fact, after a period of unsuccessful pursuit, I also convinced myself to accept this."

"I no longer ask Xueji to fulfill her promise to become my wife. Instead, I tell her that as long as she can fulfill another promise, she and I will be allies fighting side by side, and I will continue to defend the land of Aisidu..."

Buye said so.

When Matthew heard this, his heart moved:
"treasure?"

"What treasure?"

Buye replied happily:
"Demon Orb."

"That is the treasure left by the Abyss Lord Fernance in the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes."

"Fernandez is the ancestor of all demon warlocks in the material world. The token he left behind contains a powerful authority that involves the mother of the abyss."

"That orb is useless to Xueji herself, but it means a lot to me."

Matthew frowned and asked:
"So she still didn't give it to you?"

An angry expression appeared on Buye's ugly face:

"She gave me a fake one!"

"And her forgery skills were quite sophisticated. It took me a long time to realize that I had been deceived. I trusted her so much!"

"If I hadn't discovered at the last moment that it was a fake, I would have been killed without a burial place if I had brought the pearl into the Abyss Matrix!"

"At that moment I realized that the woman didn't dislike my appearance, nor did she hate my identity or race. She just wanted me to disappear from this world!"

"She needed me once, so she was willing to make a promise."

"But when she became the queen of the Kingdom of a Thousand Lakes, I became an obstacle to her consolidation of royal power."

"She would just curse me to death silently in her heart."

"A woman like this...why should I let her have an easy life?"

Matthew thought thoughtfully:

"So you let Huang Chen lead the demons to harass the border of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom?"

"But if you hate her so much, why did you make a deal with her?"

Buye sighed and said:
"I was also forced to do so."

"At the time, I was carrying a fake demon orb, and an mortal enemy from the Abyss took advantage of me. That bastard almost beat me to death!"

"I am still under Xue Ji's banishment spell and other curses. In order to catch my breath, I can only agree to her request.

Just duel with the person she finds every once in a while.

As long as I lose once.

He would never be able to return to the Kingdom of a Thousand Lakes and cause trouble for her again.

If I win all five times.

Then she promised to fulfill her promise this time -

She offered the Kingdom of the Thousand Lakes and herself with both hands..."

Matthew had an expression of uncertainty:

"So you still believe it this time?"

Buye's reaction was quite intense:
"Of course I don't believe it!"

"I'm not a fool, how could I be fooled a second time?"

"It's precisely because I don't believe she will keep her promise that I came to you!"

"Mr. Matthew, I know your strength, and I also know your influence in the world of Aiendor!"

"A woman like Xue Ji will only obey the strong, obey those who are smarter than her - you look like that!"

"So I came here today to make a deal with you.

Help me get the Demon Orb from Xueji.

And I can cooperate with you to attack the territory of the Lust Queen with all our strength at the appropriate time!

Hehehe...

I also did some homework before coming here.

Although the abyss is closed, what happened on the planet Stuluk gradually spread there.

On my territory.

There are many demons who admire you very much.

I think we can be the perfect team!
You dominate the material world, and I become the true lord of the abyss.

What do you think about our cooperation starting with the Demon Orb and the attack on Purgatory?"

After listening to Buye’s narration with strong personal emotions.

Matthew narrowed his eyes for a moment and suddenly laughed.

This devil.

It's not as rough as it appears on the surface...

He bluntly pointed out the key point:
"Excuse me, getting the Demon Orb from Xueji and attacking Purgatory at the right time is not an equal transaction."

Buye laughed and said:

"With your charm and strength, it won't be too difficult to take down Xue Ji."

"And I heard that the guy she chose is your friend. You don't want him to come and kill himself, right?"

"An attack on Purgatory is a big undertaking that will definitely require a large number of troops. After careful calculation, I think I might be at a greater disadvantage!"

Matthew was unmoved:
"Attacking Purgatory is an act that complies with the will of the Abyss Matrix. Isn't it a handy thing for you demons?"

"It's just a change in timing."

"The most important thing is that I never intended to get involved in this matter."

"If you really want to drag a neutral person like me into the water, you should at least offer more tempting bargaining chips!"

Buye thought about it:
"I can exchange the artifact of the abyss with you!"

Matthew looked at the other person calmly.

half an hour.

He suddenly laughed gently:

"I think we can discuss the trade of the Demon Orb."

"But this matter is of great importance. How can two strangers do such a big deal right after meeting each other?"

"It must be done step by step, slowly building trust, and then considering this level of transaction, right?"

Buye narrowed his eyes:
"Then you mean..."

Matthew laughed:

"We can cooperate on attacking Purgatory first."

"If our cooperation is pleasant, then after the matter of Stuluk is over, I will definitely do my best to help you get the Demon Orb - of course, you have to bring out a sufficient artifact in exchange."

Buye's small eyes were almost narrowed into lines.

He stopped talking.

He obviously realized that the plan proposed by Matthew was almost like a free ride.

"This is a rare opportunity for any aspiring Abyss Lord."

Matthew continued leisurely:
"Conquer a piece of land that originally belonged to Purgatory. Guess what kind of reward the Abyss Mother will give you?"

"If this opportunity is in your hands, it depends on whether you want to fight for it. I think it is much more valuable than any demon orb."

"I don't care anyway. There are so many Abyss Lords, and I'm sure many of them have ideas about Gracia. I don't lack partners. What do you think?"

Say these words.

The atmosphere of Never Night became even more ethereal.

Matthew's eyes turned extremely kind when he looked at Buye - if this demon king had not appeared.

He really didn't expect that the Star Wars could seek cooperation from the Abyss!

Think about it carefully.

Once the army of the Succubus Queen enters the planet Stuluk.

Then its homeland must be empty.

If Matthew really does something in the territory of the Lust Queen again, the always radical demon lords will never let go of such an opportunity!

This way.

The negotiation balance between Matthew and Buye was completely out of balance.

The initiative was entirely in Matthew's hands.

The latter pondered for several minutes before suddenly bursting into laughter and saying:

"you're right."

"I'm so ashamed of myself for not realizing that this was the perfect time to attack Purgatory!"

"No wonder I felt so happy when I first saw you, it turns out we are destined to be in the same camp!

Then let’s do as you say.

After this battle, we will discuss the matter of the Demon Orb!"

Buye changed his previous resentful and accusatory attitude.

After leaving behind a "Book of Fire" that could be used to send messages to the abyss, he left in a hurry.

"Old fox..."

Matthew chuckled and examined the magic book from the abyss, then threw it into Paradise Lost.

I guess there is not much truth in what Buye said.

Matthew didn't want to get involved in the mess between him and Xue Ji at all.

"First trick him into coming over to beat Gracia."

"Well, we can also consider contacting a few more radical demon lords..."

Between thoughts.

Matthew stretched and put down the magic book in his hand.

Then he opened the Undead Realm that was still under construction and placed the two tokens into the corresponding nodes of the realm.

That moment.

The undead realm has undergone subtle changes.

Two new apertures, one white and one blue, appeared in the field.

Matthew felt a surge of abundant power from it.

That is a sub-domain derived from the Immortal Domain!

……

"Hint: Your domain "Immortality" has spawned two new domains "Immortality (Will of Flowing Clouds)" and "Holiness (Ashes of Death)".

You have initially explored these two sub-areas and gained the following abilities as feedback for your exploration:

1. Undead Immortality (Immortal Domain): You can grant this special effect to undead of level or above.

After being bestowed, the unit will have the effect of "immortality", that is, it will not age or decay naturally.

At the same time, the unit will forever lose its potential for continued growth.

Note: You can also use this ability on enemy units.

2. Antiquity Restoration (Immortal Domain): You can use this ability on ordinary items that have fallen into disrepair or treasures that have lost their spirituality due to the passage of time.

five minutes later.

You will have a chance to repair the item.

3. Eye of Blasphemy (Holy Realm): You can release an Eye of Blasphemy on any part of your body (as long as there is skin). The unit stared at by the Eye of Blasphemy will be continuously infused with negative energy, and its personality will be corrupted and its lust will be distorted.

The opponent will gradually become a unit of extremely evil nature!
4. Light of Judgment (Holy Domain): You can release a series of light rains on the target area, which will lock onto all evil units and continue to cause damage until the spell effect completely disappears or the evil units are purified.

……

Do the ashes of the god of death correspond to the sacred realm?
Matthew raised his eyebrows.

However, all blasphemous elements fall within the realm of the sacred, so it seems reasonable that the sacred should be under the jurisdiction of the God of Death.

Two new sub-fields and four new abilities were acquired.

Matthew was in a good mood.

Especially the last two abilities, which can also perform a combination punch——

First, demonize the stubborn person, and then judge him. It can be said to be a one-stop service, perfect!
As for the first two abilities, they also have specific uses.

Although it doesn't look very powerful.

quickly.

Matthew discovered the uniqueness of these two sub-fields——

They can actually have interesting interactions with necromancy.

After discovering this.

Matthew immediately began the experiment.

Soon.

He determined the following rules:

If the Immortal Realm is superimposed on the Undead Summoning Technique and the designated summoning target is a zombie, then a new type of undead can be summoned.

Its name is "Grudge Guard".

The appearance of the Resentful Guard is not like a zombie, but rather a bit like a mummy, but its combat power is basically an advanced version of the Dark Warrior!
Matthew tested it.

Even the most ordinary Resentful Guard has a combat power at the fourth level.

What if you happen to run into an elite model.

Its combat power may even be higher than that of Argus!

And the other side.

If you use the Holy Domain to superimpose the Undead Summoning Technique, and the designated summon target is a ghost, you can summon a "Seraphim Guardian" that looks like an angel.

The Seraphic Guard has the ability to fly, has an extremely fast support speed, is strong in melee combat, and has a certain spellcasting ability, which is equivalent to an advanced version of the vampire or banshee.

It's more subtle.

The appearance of the Seraph Guardian looks sacred and has great charm.

Ordinary people would never realize that this is actually an undead!
Both the Malice Guardians and the Seraphic Guardians are special undead beings of extremely high quality.

Matthew naturally would not miss the opportunity to be summoned.

Unfortunately.

Both types of undead have summoning restrictions.

After Matthew summoned twenty-four of each, the two sub-fields could no longer be superimposed and take effect.

"If these two sub-realms can become stronger, or if the Undead Realm expands further, more Resentment/Seraphim Guardians should be summoned!"

"Unfortunately, there is still a token missing."

“I wonder what kind of power or authority I will gain after the Undead Realm is completely developed?”

"With such a large domain of immortality, it shouldn't be worse than the Minotaur, right?"

After leaving the field for a long time.

Matthew was still daydreaming.

The next day.

Matthew continued to stay at the Cloud Inn, reading books and learning magic.

Since the opening of extraordinary wisdom.

His efficiency in learning magic really improves by leaps and bounds.

A little more than a day.

He also learned two spells of the dead realm in one go.

They are the fifth-level Rain of the Dead and the legendary Twelve Death Bells.

The Rain of Death can rain negative energy over a large area. People who are caught in the rain will be affected by negative factors such as plague, toxins, and undead transformation.

It is an excellent medium for spreading plague and negative energy;

The Twelve Death Bells is an extremely powerful instant death spell.

The twelve bells sounded louder and louder each time.

The coefficient of instant death determination also rises exponentially.

This spell is comparable to Deadly Scissors in power.

The usage is a bit repetitive though.

But Matthew learned it while reading the book, without spending any extra effort.

But what surprised him was.

The mother of the black dragon, Aldessia, has not replied yet.

This cast a shadow over the situation of the Sword of Thorn Blossom.

The morning of the third day.

Roland appeared on the rooftop of the hotel with the bald female priest Carmela, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The former made a gesture to Matthew that it was a piece of cake, then sat aside to rest.

Arriving with Carmella was the orc swordswoman Claire.

Compared to before.

Claire has also grown a lot.

Under the induction of the legendary way.

Matthew confirmed that the other party was already in the critical period of advancing to legend!
but.

Even if he had insight into Claire's legendary ways.

Matthew didn't say much.

Claire has always been very opinionated and determined in her path to becoming a legend. Even without Matthew's guidance, she would have been able to successfully embark on the path to becoming a legend.

This is a truly talented and strong person!
"I've heard about what happened in Stuluk, Matthew..."

As soon as we met.

The orc female swordsman seemed very excited.

Matthew understood Claire's emotions.

The planet Stuluk was her home planet after all.

Before the invasion by the Necron forces, most of the people living there were Orks. Unfortunately, there is no trace of Orks on the planet Stuluk today.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to do this..."

"I, I, I wish I had been there at the time."

"It would be great if my people could see that scene."

Claire danced with joy to express her gratitude to Matthew.

Matthew smiled and said:

"There will always be a place for orcs on the planet Stuluk."

"Of course, the premise is that we have to defend it."

Claire patted her chest:

"If anything needs me, I will never back down!"

Speaking of it.

Her originally excited mood became slightly depressed, and then she said to Matthew a little embarrassedly:
"But I can only come here to help by myself. The orcs on Feilai Island have no sense of identity with Stuluk. They are also accustomed to living in the material world and may not be willing to participate in a war of this level..."

Matthew waved his hand.

He hadn't expected the orcs to be of much use.

But at this time Carmela couldn't help but speak out:

"The orcs that flew to the island are simply the epitome of ungratefulness!"

As she spoke, she ignored Claire's slightly embarrassed expression and continued to speak with full force:
"Me, Claire, Samantha, and a few others have been helping Feilai Island resist the invasion of fishmen for the past two years."

"I'm not asking for credit. If it weren't for us, the murloc army would have already breached the orc stronghold on Feilai Island!"

"The results of it?"

"Just because of a small misunderstanding, those beastmen drove us out and strictly forbade us to set foot on the land of Feilai Island!"

Matthew found this strange and asked:
"What misunderstanding?"

The bald pastor said calmly:
"Isn't it just that they accidentally entered the tombs of their ancestors once?"

"I don't care about the orcs' tombs. It's built without any aesthetic appeal, but there's not much valuable inside!"

Claire coughed violently a few times, but made no sound.

Matthew suddenly realized:

"So you've been digging up the orcs' ancestral graves for most of the past six months?"

Carmela said dissatisfiedly:

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm just looking for the ancient breath!"

Matthew showed an expression of immediate understanding.

Then the group chatted briefly for a while.

Matthew learned that during the apotheosis incident half a year ago, Carmela and Claire were indeed separated, and Claire was teleported to the Bloodthirsty Mountain.

And Carmela went to the real sea elf cemetery!

there.

This legendary priest of the God of the First Moon seemed to have found many ancient auras.

Matthew could clearly feel it.

Carmela is now stronger than she was half a year ago!
This is abnormal!

This guy is obviously a priest, and all his divine power comes from the so-called God of the New Moon, who existed for who knows how many years.

under these circumstances.

Her power can actually grow further?
Matthew suspected that she was the God of the New Moon herself!

Only if you believe in yourself can you explain it!
but.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Matthew tried to probe, but after Carmela brushed it off, he didn't pursue the matter further.

"I'm sure you've heard about the planet Stuluk."

"My idea is that before the battle to defend the planet begins, the three of us should go to the Infernal Secret Cave on the third level of Purgatory..."

Matthew is about to explain his plan to Carmela and Lorraine.

Unexpectedly, the former immediately nodded his head:
"Yeah!"

"I've wanted to go to Purgatory for a long time!"

Matthew was happy at first, but then he looked confused.

But Carmela responded calmly:

"I just happen to know that there is a path in the material world that leads directly to the first thirty levels of Purgatory!"

"And there happened to be a small pothole on that path."

"That small pit just so happens to be the burial place of the Nine Hell Lords of past generations..."

"How about we go take a look around that little pit first?"

……
