Chapter 122 Instigating Rebellion: The Temptation of Power!
…
late at night.
Matthew stood on a hillside, looking up into the distance under the moonlight.
Balanced perception has been turned on.
Abnormal energy field fluctuations merged into his eyes and brain.
He saw a huge figure on the Mark of the Dead slowly turning its direction and slowly leaving towards the northeast.
That's the "Lord of Ashes"!
obviously.
The Scorched Earth Ritual of Death was a success, and the Lord of Ashes could not go south, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue heading north.
There.
It is the direction of Jade Cangting.
"I don't know if the wood elves can withstand it."
After confirming that the primary goal of Main Mission 2 was actually achieved, Matthew slowly exhaled, followed by full joy.
The next second.
Matthew opened his hand, and a blue particle with a smooth touch appeared in his palm.
This is the demigod personality that exudes power!
"The color is different from the one in Lorraine."
…
"Tip: You have obtained a "completely blank demigod personality", you can choose——
1. Fusion (you need to perform a demigod ceremony to obtain promotion. After the promotion is successful, you will be blessed by the demigod template, gain 6 free attribute points and more additional abilities)
2. Synchronization (you regard the demigod as a piece of equipment or an item, and synchronize it through domain intervention. After the synchronization is completed, you will receive a small amount of your own blessing, and the demigod will also be a good match for you.
Become a piece of equipment-like existence)"
…
He is also a demigod.
Lorraine chose fusion, but Matthew resolutely chose "synchrony".
It's not that he doesn't need the demigod template to strengthen himself, it's just that the path of the gods is not his path.
That path has proven to be unworkable, at least under the rules set by the Scourge Mage.
Although demigods will not be exiled like true gods, because in the process of merging personalities, demigods themselves will be deeply imprinted on the plane.
Since then, his growth curve has been destined to be unable to transcend the plane itself.
The path Matthew wants to take must be like that of the natural disaster mage.
So homology is the only option.
A mage regards everything he owns as a usable tool, even precious demigods.
At the moment, Matthew tried to use balanced perception to touch the demigod persona.
Soon, a stream of information poured into his mind.
He understood the nature of the attuned demigod persons.
The so-called synchrony is to use various means to cause resonance with certain strange or divine objects, thereby further gaining control of the objects.
Usually only very high-level items require "synchrony".
Different items synchronize in different ways.
The synchronization method of the demigod personality is the "power of the domain".
"I can first use the power of a single field to synchronize with the demigod personality and see what the result is."
Just do whatever comes to mind, that's Matthew's style.
He returned to the cabin and took action.
At first, he wanted to use the power of nature to synchronize with the demigod persona.
But soon, Matthew remembered Isabel's warning about the natural realm.
"If the natural realm is really that domineering and terrifying, then letting it take over first may cut off the possibility of other realms taking over."
Matthew thought about it and decided to use "immortal".
Now.
He slowly opened the realm, and a breath of the undead was injected into the person in his hand.
The blue particles trembled.
Then there was no movement.
20 minutes later.
Matthew opened his eyes tiredly. The first synchronization was over, and his personality seemed to have not changed.
…
"Tip: The first synchronization was successful. You synchronized the domain power: undead to the demigod.
Your element "synchrony" (balance) +1.
Synchronization progress this round: 1%.
Note: It is best not to exceed 30 minutes of synchronization time every day, and not to exceed 15 minutes at a time, otherwise your physical strength will be seriously affected."
…
Matthew felt it too.
Although attunement only uses the power of the field to trigger the resonance of the personality, this process is not only very mentally and physically draining, but also very physically demanding.
He only worked on it for 15 minutes.
I was a little out of breath.
"From now on, I'll finish it at night. I'll go to bed right after I finish it."
Think so.
Matthew forced his tiredness to take out a pure lead box that had been prepared in advance, put the characters in it, and then put it into the Miaofa luggage.
Before the first round of synchronization is completed, the aura of the demigod will still leak out.
The lessons learned from the ruins on the clouds and Luo Lan's warning were still in his ears, and Matthew did not dare to be careless.
Done all this.
Matthew did not fall down immediately, but turned his attention to the "Tauren Domain".
As a prop, the arrival of the demigod personality, in addition to its synchronic value, also brought Matthew three solid "certificates of the domain."
This way.
He officially has the power to open up areas.
…
"Tip: If you succeed in creating your own field, you become the pioneer of the "Tauren Field"!
The tauren domain includes the following elements: plunder (in person), tauren (race), rebellion (undead), temptation, corruption, seduction..."
…
"There are actually so many elements?"
"How come even the real minotaurs got in?"
Matthew was very surprised.
Veterans and pioneers in the field often have higher judgment bonuses when engaging in field-related elements.
This means that Matthew will have an easier time luring targets into evil in the future.
In addition to the elements.
Pathfinders will also have direct access to all three abilities, rather than choosing one.
…
"Tip: You have gained the abilities "Instigating Rebellion: The Temptation of Power", "Strict Defense", and "Plundering"!
1. Instigating rebellion: The temptation of power (when you instigate a target, the other party will receive additional main attribute bonuses. After the rebellion is successful, the target will receive a random enhancement of an ability. The main attribute bonus gained during the instigation process
There will also be a certain possibility of retaining it)
2. Strict defense (as the pioneer of the tauren field, you are well versed in the skills of strict defense; when others use instigation against your undead, the difficulty of judgment increases by 20%)
3. Get involved and plunder (when you are performing actions related to the tauren field, you will have the opportunity to infiltrate into the "looting field" and get involved until you break in by force)"
…
All three abilities are very useful.
"The temptation of power" is equivalent to drawing a big pie that the target can see and eat when instigating rebellion. As long as the target accepts the instigation, he will become stronger.
This is in line with the law of blackening and strengthening.
"Be on guard" is even more popular with Matthew.
After all, if you walk along the river, your shoes won't get wet.
The undead who instigate rebellion against others every day, wouldn't they be so angry if there was a fire in the backyard?
With this ability, Matthew's undead people are much safer.
As for "getting involved and plundering".
Judging from Matthew's pure lottery ability, how easy is it to get involved in other fields?
Even a son of his realm has only opened five now.
"Plunder" is a quite large field, and it partially overlaps with "War" and "Killing". If you expect to penetrate through the small tauren field, it is better to hope that artifacts will suddenly drop from the sky.
Finally, Matthew also got a tauren-related status.
…
"Soul of the Ancestors (Limited Status): You can turn this status on or off at any time.
Each time you turn it on, you will be possessed by the spirit of a tauren ancestor. During this period, your body will be blessed by the ancestors, and you will gain powerful melee capabilities, extremely high resistance, and strength comparable to that of a tauren.
The huge body of human ancestors.
Duration of each activation: 80 minutes.
Number of times it can be opened: 5 times"
…
"I actually got the ability of a real tauren by accident!?"
Matthew was very surprised by this.
What is going on with the tauren in this world?
It’s okay to let others tweak the field.
Even the ancestors went to the fake tauren lord?
"In a sense, it makes sense that the tauren's domain has been taken over by the tauren."
Matthew had a sudden thought:
"I just don't know what I will become after the soul of my ancestors takes possession of me?"
He suddenly became very looking forward to this state.
…
The Lord's Mansion the next day.
Morning meeting.
"So, the problem of the Mark of the Dead has been solved like this?"
Rhaegar's expression still looked a little unbelievable.
Matthew replied:
"That's it for now."
Rhaegar was confused:
"Is it really that simple?"
Matthew spread his hands:
"You also saw the effect of that day. The Mark of the Dead did not cross the border. It lost the ability to continue to spread, at least it could not spread in the direction of Rolling Stone Town. Of course, my plan also had side effects, and the Death Scorch itself also
It will spread to the surrounding areas.”
Hearing this, Rhaegar almost choked on his coffee:
"You mean, we used a harmful ritual to control another harmful thing, but the ritual itself will spread around like that harmful thing?"
Matthew blinked:
"You are right, but I can tell you responsibly that the overall risk of death in the scorched earth is controllable."
Rhaegar questioned:
"Controllable? Who controls?"
Matthew shrugged:
"I."
Rhaegar touched his forehead with his hand a little troubled:
"So, if you die, the Scorched Earth of Death will get out of control, and it will slowly engulf our land like the Mark of the Dead."
Matthew thought for a while:
"There is also a difference. The out-of-control scorched earth of death spreads faster than the traces of the dead."
Rhaegar subconsciously grasped the few hairs on his forehead, and then carefully released them.
His blood pressure seemed to be high.
Matthew promptly added:
"But as long as I am here, its spread will be very slow. A few years or even decades will not be comparable to the amount of land that the current expansion rate of the Mark of the Dead can annex in one year. Even if I really leave, I should
There will also be sons, daughters or apprentices left behind, who will inherit the authority of my Necromancer, continue to control the Scorched Land of Death, and continue to protect this land."
The depression on Rega's face suddenly disappeared.
But he still couldn't help complaining:
"At this rate of development, the streets of Rolling Stone Town will soon be filled with necromancers. In a few hundred years, perhaps the Blood Flag family will become vassals of the necromancers!"
At this time, Zeller, who was sorting out documents nearby, suddenly interrupted:
"Don't be stupid Rhaegar, the situation you mentioned is simply not realistic."
Rega suddenly became energetic:
"You mean, the Blood Flag family can resist the infiltration of the Necromancer?"
Zeller put a stack of documents together and stood them up, using a table board to align the bottom of the documents, and the paper made a crisp sound when it rubbed:
"You misunderstood. What I meant was that it doesn't take hundreds of years at all. As long as Sif marries Matthew, it will only take a few years for your most hated necromancer to become the master of the Blood Flag family."
"No!"
Rhaegar clenched his hands into fists and growled in a low voice:
"No, not Sif!"
As he spoke, he stared at Matthew seriously:
"Xif is still young, I don't allow you to have any ideas about her!"
Matthew slowly picked up a newspaper on the table, scanned it, and replied by the way:
"She's not as little as you think, Rhaegar."
Rega grabbed the newspaper and looked at Matthew seriously:
"Listen Matthew, if I find out that you are secretly in love with Sif, you will never be able to enter the lord's mansion in the future, let alone read my newspaper!"
Seeing that he looked like his tail had been stepped on, Matthew could only say:
"Don't worry Rhaegar, I understand you. I have made a promise to you before, and now I can reiterate it again - that promise is still valid. Um, can you return the newspaper to me now?"
Rhaegar looked at him suspiciously.
In the end, under Matthew's innocent eyes, he snorted heavily and handed the other party the tabloid that was dedicated to recording pornographic news.
Matthew read with pleasure.
"Mrs. Wesley! Another cup of coffee, Mrs. Wesley! Where is the person! This damn old woman, I must fire her!"
Rhaegar angrily took the empty cup and walked towards the corridor.
Before he had taken two steps, he was stopped by Zeller:
"Bring two more cups, I'm a little sleepy too. Matthew should need it too?"
Matthew didn't speak, he just turned his back to Rhaegar and silently raised an index finger.
"What does it mean?"
Rhaegar asked doubtfully.
"One finger is the number 1, and 1 means recognition and agreement."
Matthew said casually.
Zeller asked curiously:
"What is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Matthew replied without raising his head:
"This is knowledge from another world that ordinary mages cannot access."
Rhaegar's voice sounded very satisfied:
"That's it! One finger means consent. This is the right thing. Matthew, share more useful knowledge with us, so that you can be worthy of your status as a spell consultant. I am willing to give you this piece of knowledge about other worlds.
Coffee once, but never again!”
"Mrs. Wesley?!"
As he said this, Rhaegar's loud voice came from the corridor again.
after awhile.
He came back with a tray and three cups of coffee.
Zeller sorted out all the documents and asked Rhaegar:
"Did Li Weiqi find anything in Gaoye Ling?"
Matthew pricked up his ears while reading the newspaper. He knew that Li Weiqi had been running to the high leaf collar every three days recently. He only took time to come back during the Death Scorched Earth Test Field Ceremony, and he ran away again not long after.
This made him feel a little curious about Gao Ye Ling's situation.
Rhaegar replied:
"He told me some situations. The situation in Gaoye Ling is very bad. The huge impact of the flood has caused chaos in order.
To make matters worse, there are rumors that a dragon has attacked the mountain reservoir.
Although no one witnessed that scene, this statement is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Currently, Gao Ye leaders are panicking, and some residents have even defected to our territory. This will put a lot of pressure on the security work in the southwest.
The most important thing is that that guy Li Weiqi really found some traces of dragon activities near the mountain reservoir!"
Zeller frowned and said:
"What dragon?"
Rhaegar sighed:
"Not sure. Anyway, it can't be a white dragon or a green dragon, and it's unlikely to be a blue dragon, so the rest is either a red dragon or a black dragon."
Zeller nodded:
"It seems that the astrologers were right in predicting that the dragon was about to enter its active phase."
"I'm afraid we have to prepare in advance to deal with the dragon disaster."
Rhaegar replied:
"I've asked Asuma and the others to prepare. If it were an ordinary dragon, I don't think they would dare attack Rolling Stone Town. After all, Mr. Ronan's reputation is still there."
As he spoke, he asked again:
"I have already written a reply letter to Alena—no, the wife of the city owner of Deep Blue Port. When will it be sent out?"
Zeller thought for a while:
"As soon as possible. Deep Blue Port is a little far away from us. If they really want to visit, they will need some preparation time. If it is later, it will be midsummer, which is not very friendly to the rush. If it is delayed until early autumn, I am afraid that the nights will be long and the dreams will be many. By then you will
Nothing but joy."
Rhaegar gave him a hard look and complained:
"Since Matthew came to work, you seem to enjoy entertaining me more and more."
Zeller pursed his lips in innocent anger.
At this point, Matthew finally finished reading all the tidbits.
He looked up and asked:
"Is the meeting over?"
Zeller nodded.
So Matthew looked at Rhaegar with expectant eyes:
"Can you please practice a spell with me, Lord?"
Rhaegar sneered:
"Don't even think about it!"
Ding ding dong!
Matthew slapped five gold coins on the table and said confidently:
"Paid!"
Rhaegar meowed, and quickly swept the five gold coins into the pocket of his pajamas.
"Can."
"But not here. Come on, follow me into the house."
As he said that, he led Matthew to the room behind the office.
In the corridor.
Mrs. Wesley appeared at the door holding a broom.
She saw the scene just now and couldn't help but ask Zeller:
"Have they announced it yet?"
Zeller said with a smile on his face:
"Leave Madam Rega alone, you must have heard that they are practicing spells and not doing anything else."
When Mrs. Wesley saw that she had been exposed, she replied without blushing or heartbeat:
"Oh, I'm not sure. Young people nowadays have so many tricks. I thought they were talking slander."
…
The floating city in the far north.
In the magnificent large library.
Huge shadows spread from the floor to the bookshelf, and finally converged on the dome like a starry sky.
The white-robed mage Ekmund said respectfully:
"Teacher, as per your order, all six adults are here."
Behind him, the six phantoms were silent. They represented the highest power of the alliance, the contemporary Seven Saints!
Isabel's eyes swept across the shadow, and she suddenly asked unhappily:
"Why did the seven saints become six? Haven't you already found someone to replace me?"
Ekmund looked embarrassed and reminded in a low voice:
"Lord Ronan is not here."
Hearing this, Isabel's white hair floated upside down, and she looked furious:
"Where is Ronan? What is he doing! Why doesn't he come to see me? Is he afraid that I will give him a zero score!"
Ekmund continued to whisper:
"Lord Ronan is trapped in the star realm."
"oh."
Isabel's mood eased slightly, and then she asked doubtfully:
"Who is so capable that he can trap Ronan in the star realm?"
Ekmund coughed twice heavily.
Under the urging of Isabel's displeased eyes.
Only then did he bite the bullet and said:
"Didn't you use divine magic to imprison him in the star realm?"
Isabel suddenly realized:
"It turned out to be me, oh, I forgot."
Immediately.
As if this had never happened, she threw an ordinary crystal ball into the air:
"The problem that you have been unable to solve for decades has been solved in one go by a wild mage who has become a monk."
"Take a good look!"
The voice fell.
Pictures related to the Mark of the Dead began to play in the crystal ball.
