Chapter 174 Balance Field: Flower Veteran and Prescription Warlock
…
The heart of nature and the path to immortality.
These are the names of the two systems that seamlessly hybridized within Matthew's body.
From the beginning, Matthew's purpose was to reconcile the two, at least to remove the infinitely superimposed watermarks.
However, both concepts are too big.
Matthew wants to complete the fusion of the heart of nature and the way of immortality, which will at least happen after the legend.
in this world.
All concepts are given by humans, and many concepts have undergone changes and distortions to this day.
What this reflects is the alternation and change of power.
As far as Matthew knows.
Some high legends and gods have direct "editing domain" power.
This means as long as you are strong enough.
You can force the whole world to accept your point of view.
You can point to the sun and say it is the moon, you can also easily point to a deer as a horse and a ghost as a human being.
The field is no different from the Internet encyclopedia in front of the truly powerful.
It is nothing more than an object to be trampled upon and written about at will.
certainly.
All these premises are logically self-consistent.
If it is too blunt, it is very likely to encounter resistance from the pan-consciousness of the plane.
And for Matthew.
He had made conceptual preparations for that step long ago, all he lacked was the strength.
Fortunately, communication in the ceremonial field is not a change in the world field.
The influence of the domain contract is only within one-third of an acre of Matthew's own land.
So he can play to his heart's content.
Therefore, in the first paragraph of the deed, he boldly gave new definitions to some areas according to his own ideas.
He interpreted "immortality" as a realm that is transcendent and above death, and also assigned realms such as "eternity" to this realm to increase its momentum;
This is his supreme pursuit under ideal circumstances.
It is the ultimate person that transcends the existence of death——
All living beings will wither but I will not die, that's probably the case.
Later, Matthew infinitely elevated the concept of "nature" to the point where it could encompass all things, even including a part of "death", and the "life" field was directly swallowed up entirely;
Nature is the most unique concept.
The chaos of heaven and earth in the Dark Ages is natural, the animism of all things in the Enlightenment Age is also natural, and the pastoral pastoral in the Exile Age is natural.
What if Irondor enters the era of industrialization one day? Why can't the roar of machinery and tall buildings be called natural?
And in the subsequent explanation.
Matthew also introduced concepts such as "microorganisms", "spores", "fungi", and "decomposers".
As decomposers, parasites, and transformers, microorganisms are an indispensable part of the overall framework of nature and death.
The living die and turn into corpses. The corpses are decomposed by microorganisms, turn into elements of life and return to the earth.
This is part of the communion of life and death.
When the living die, they turn into corpses, and the corpses are awakened to become the undead. The undead will die again one day, and they will also be processed by decomposers and return to nature.
This means that the undead are not a natural opposition.
But a natural continuation!
This is one of the core purposes of the Spore Society, and it is also in line with Matthew's understanding of the spore realm.
This way.
Life and death blend and transform into each other.
The "undead" belonging to the realm of death are the continuation of "life" belonging to the realm of nature.
Matthew's large frame is partially completed.
The second paragraph of the deed.
He applied this theory to "Oak Tree", "Spore" and "Undead".
With theoretical guidance.
It is also a matter of course to apply formulas to specific cases.
Soon.
That boulder was filled with dense words.
After writing the second paragraph, Matthew could sense that the collision of elements between the two ceremonial venues became more intense.
This is a good sign.
The worst outcome is to be completely ignored.
Have a reaction, whether positive or negative.
It all shows that the domain contract they wrote has a stimulating effect on them.
All that's left is to increase the intensity of stimulation.
Matthew took a short rest.
Then he finished writing the third part of the magic contract on the stone.
Along with this process.
Matthew could feel that the realm inside his body was gradually becoming restless.
He held his breath, stayed focused, and wrote the final notes in one breath.
A few seconds later.
He checked the entire text.
Then inject a little mana into the boulder.
The magic words on the boulder flickered like fluorescent lights, and for a moment, they seemed to fly from the surface of the stone.
that moment.
A brilliant golden tree appeared again in the cemetery!
The magnificent dark moon also hung on the World Tree!
But this vision only lasted less than half a second.
boom!
After a soft sound.
The huge boulder collapsed inward and shattered into stones on the ground in the blink of an eye!
"Um?"
"Not recognized by the natural realm?"
The sudden change caught Matthew off guard.
He was slightly startled.
But soon he reacted:
"No, the will of nature is recognized, and so are the realm of the undead and the realm of spores."
He realized it attentively for a while.
Shortly after.
There was finally a reaction on the data column.
…
"Tip: The stone you choose cannot withstand the content of the "Domain Contract"!
Domain Contract: You have completed the initial communication between domains.
There is a slight overlap between your domains "oak, spore, and undead"..."
…
It turned out to be a material problem.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
The stone he selected was already very strong, but it still couldn't withstand the level required by the domain contract. It seemed that he had to find a higher-level carrier.
"The stubborn stone of purgatory, the bamboo heart of heavenly bamboo, and the base of the legendary scroll tanned by real dragon skin..."
The prices of several high-end materials flashed through Matthew's mind.
He couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.
But just at this time.
The changes inside his body attracted more of his attention.
Matthew suddenly "saw" his internal organs very clearly, saw the blood flowing in the blood vessels, and saw the heart pumping out a large amount of blood powerfully.
He saw the negative energy and life energy evenly stored in his organs, and these energies were blended with his magic power, regardless of each other.
He saw the mental power concentrated in the back of the brain.
He saw eleven balls of light constantly rotating around his body.
These light balls vary in size and color.
Only when his "eyes" are focused on the top of the light ball can he clearly see the floating light spots inside. They are -
Before he knew it, Matthew had entered eleven realms.
This number far exceeds the basic requirements for advanced legends.
Legend’s demand for fields can be roughly divided into three levels:
The first level, single or dual field legend. In this case, you usually need to become a veteran in the field and accumulate enough in the path of legend. In addition, if the higher ecological niche in the upper level of the field is not occupied by anyone, you can be promoted to legend.
.
But this kind of legend is usually considered to be a type of water legend.
A single field means that it is not comprehensive enough and lacks changes, and it is easy for others to find weaknesses and kill them.
More than 70% of the legends who were killed in the history of the alliance were single or dual-domain water legends.
The second level three realm legend.
The third level, six realms of legend.
It is said that the enhancement coefficient of the second gear when promoting to legend is more than five times that of the first gear.
The third level is relatively rare, so not much news has leaked out.
Matthew only knew that the minimum requirement for the four guardians of the alliance was "Legendary of Three Realms", while the requirement for the three Tongtian Masters was "Legendary of Six Realms".
This means that Suriel and Isabel are both cruel people in the third gear.
Among them, Isabel was revealed by Ekmund to be a master proficient in all fields.
Matthew estimated that the legendary fields in her hand would be no less than eight.
It can be said that Matthew has accumulated enough capital in terms of the number of fields.
But on the one hand, he knew that his path was different from others. Although he also used the field as a tool, Matthew's balanced approach required a much greater number of tools than others.
Correspondingly, his depth in the field is far inferior to others.
Therefore, while he must expand the boundaries of his field, he must also further tap the potential of existing fields.
On the other hand, the more domains you have, the stronger you will be after being promoted to legend, and the greater the resistance you will encounter during promotion.
This is almost a piece of common knowledge for a mage.
The only way to better face these resistances is to accumulate.
Accumulation and hard work are always the first criteria for a mage to advance.
That strange perspective lasted about a minute and a half.
Matthew finally saw the three realms of oak, undead and spores stuck together. From a plane perspective, they looked like three rings.
The other circles are still relatively scattered and scattered aside.
Only the latest equilibrium circle is very active.
It actively touches all fields, and although it will be quickly bounced off in most cases, this does not change its active characteristics.
The end of Matthew's strange perspective.
See the equilibrium ball bumping around between fields like a bouncy ball.
A bit like--
A social butterfly who is rejected everywhere but still trying hard?
…
"Tip: You used the "Contract of the Domain" to complete the communication with "Oak Tree, Undead and Spores", and you got the opportunity to enter the "Balance Domain"!
In return for your involvement in the field, you gain the characteristic "Inner Sight" of the Balanced Field.
Internal Vision: You can examine the energy, fields, elements and other changes in the body from a God's perspective. (Available once a day)
In addition, you will also gain one of the following three abilities -
1. Hua Cong veteran (you can always evenly and exquisitely grasp the time, energy and care given to each member of the opposite sex, and you can greatly reduce their resentment when they know each other)
2. Prescription Warlock (you will obtain detailed recipes for several prescriptions, your herbal knowledge +20, your potion knowledge +20, and gain the ability "Basic Alchemy")
3. Advance hand in hand (for each additional field you enter, the integration speed of elements in other fields +3%/field stability +3%)"
…
"Although the domain contract did not fully take effect, I finally entered the balanced domain, which can be regarded as a gain."
Matthew looked back and forth between the abilities in the three fields with emotion.
Hesitate slightly.
He chose "3".
In fact, Matthew has considered the "Prescription Warlock". This ability seems to be very practical and provides a lot of knowledge;
However, "moving forward together" is very suitable for Matthew now.
He has many fields and little time, so it is impossible to cover everything.
If you want to tap the potential of the field as much as possible, you have to rely on the automatic integration of field elements.
This ability can alleviate the contradiction between quantity and quality, so there is really no reason not to take it.
As for the "Flower Bush Veteran".
Matthew thought it would be better to leave it to those in need!
besides.
The realm of equilibrium also gives Matthew a permanent status.
"Gymnast master: Your balance ability +10 (+3 for climbing, jumping, running, swimming, gymnastics, horseback riding and other sports checks)"
Not a bad ability.
At least Matthew can protect himself better when riding Pegasus and Nightmare in the future.
"Speaking of which, I still need to buy two pairs of good saddles. Pegasus is already a very cool mount, but it is still a little uncomfortable."
"When some of the funds from the Oak Chamber of Commerce are withdrawn, I will go to Old Falon and ask for two sets of saddles, and at the same time, I will settle the accounts of Bing and Renesmee."
Matthew stretched and left the mushroom garden.
Although the domain contract was not completely successful, the two major ceremony venues no longer had the tense atmosphere they had before.
This can be clearly perceived from Matthew standing at the entrance to the cemetery at the junction of the ceremony venue.
He walked slowly down the stone stairs dug at the entrance.
Compared with before.
With the blessing of "gymnastics master".
He walked obviously more steadily.
But this temporary stone staircase is still a bit too steep.
"It would be great if there could be an elevator here, like the one in the Crucible House, that could go from the cemetery to the canopy of the World Tree."
Matthew shook his head as he thought.
He had previously asked about the price of the Taling 177 Magic Elevator.
That was a number he couldn't bear.
"After all, we are still short of money."
Matthew suddenly began to wonder when the next visiting group of Alliance mages would come!
Just at this moment.
He suddenly noticed Xinwak sleeping soundly next to the stone staircase.
Since the work of opening up the cemetery was completed.
The troll had no other job besides digging up Matthew's tombstones.
Now he is living a more prosperous life than anywhere else.
Sleep every day.
If you're hungry, there's vegetarian food to eat.
This made Matthew a little worried about his health:
"Should we arrange some moderate exercise for him?"
for example.
Human elevator?
This idea just popped into Matthew's mind.
A human suddenly shouted in the underground city outside the cemetery:
"Hey, Matthew, I've been waiting for you. I lost the stone you gave me. Um, can you let me in?"
"I don't dare to break in for fear of those zombies biting me."
Matthew glanced at him and immediately opened the cemetery.
The person who came was wearing a mining suit, with a white crystal spotlight on his forehead, and his face was very fair.
He was the official sent by Rega to preside over the development of the sulfur mine, and he had met Matthew several times before.
His name is Patton, he is the second son of Ms. Liz and the younger brother of the captain of the garrison, Brad. He had previously worked as a tax collector in the north of the town. Later, he had a conflict with the villagers due to a strange incident of rosette disease and ended up recuperating at home and becoming unemployed.
to date.
His health has improved significantly recently, and it happens that the mining of sulfur mines needs trustworthy manpower.
So Rhaegar asked him to come over and help Matthew take care of the matter.
Regarding the development of sulfur mines, the project has now reached the implementation stage.
On a specific level, in addition to sending Patton to take charge of the overall situation, Rolling Stone Town officials also recruited more than a dozen workers in the name of the city hall.
Matthew sent more than 40 zombies to guard and patrol.
Zombies are very good at this kind of work, but when it comes to sorting, transporting or even refining ore, don't expect it at all.
The current process is that eight workers assigned to the mine sort the sulfur ore in the open pit onto a vehicle.
Patton then escorted these vehicles through the underground passage and directly to a factory left behind in the Gold Prospector Basin.
The remaining workers are also arranged here to complete the preliminary extraction of sulfur ore and further refining.
The extraction of sulfur ore is not complicated. In addition, the sulfur ore discovered by Matthew is of extremely high purity and only requires simple extraction, so there are not many problems in the equipment and process.
After the sulfur is produced, it will eventually be transported in three directions.
The first one is Matthew's Cemetery. Sulfur is a necessary material for producing incendiary glue and Molotov cocktails.
However, arsonists are not very enthusiastic about making related props, and the demand for sulfur is also small, so there is still a lot of redundancy.
The remaining two transportation directions are Rhaegar's Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce and Matthew's Oak Tree Chamber of Commerce.
The former is responsible for sales in the north.
The latter is responsible for selling the sulfur to the south.
In general.
Rhaegar is still very loyal.
He came forward again and again in this process, but for the final benefit of the sulfur mine after deducting operating costs and labor costs.
He still only got 10%.
This number is very low.
Normally, all wealth in the territory is owned by the lord himself. Even if others discover any minerals and develop them jointly with the lord, the lord also naturally owns the ownership of the minerals.
The current example used in the south is 37 points.
It is a very normal distribution plan for the lord to take 70% of the income.
But Rhaegar was different.
Not only was he generous to Matthew, he also treated everyone else equally.
When the mining industry was booming in the Gold Prospector Basin more than a decade ago, Lei Jia's condition for the mine owners was to take away 20% to 30% of the profits.
Because of this, the town of Rolling Stone was so prosperous and overheated during that period that the original name of this land was forgotten, replaced by the Gold Prospector Basin, which has a more historical background.
"How's it going at the factory? Has the first batch of goods come out? Do you need me to send more undead to maintain order?"
Matthew asked when they met.
Little Patton waved his hand:
"Everything is fine. The first batch of goods will be delivered in two days. The purity is very good. The workers were afraid of the undead at first, but after my deliberate arrangement, they now trust your zombies."
"A deliberate arrangement?"
Matthew looked at little Patton suspiciously.
The latter smiled:
"I found two wild boars. I originally wanted to scare them, but before I even got close, they were driven away by your undead."
"In this way, the workers will have a certain amount of trust in the undead."
Matthew frowned slightly. Although Patton's plan was effective, he felt that it might also aggravate the workers' panic.
So he reminded:
"If you want to use this method next time, tell me in advance."
Little Paton shrugged:
"Okay, you are the boss, I will listen to you."
“I came to see you because of the mine—
According to the workers who stayed in the mine, they had clearly finished picking up the sulfur ore in one area.
Early the next morning, a similar amount or even more ore will appear in the same place.
Although this phenomenon is a good thing for us, workers always find it strange.
I have tried my best to appease them, but there was a whining sound from the mine last night, like the friction sound made by the wind blowing through a hole.
A worker came to me this morning and said he didn't want to work anymore, mainly because he was a little scared.
I think I still have to report this matter to you.
After all, you found the mine, do you know what happened?"
Matthew heard the words and said deeply:
"I probably know what's going on. Well, I'll go to the mine myself tonight to see if I can solve the problem from the root."
