Chapter 183 War Secret Order and Biological Airship
…
"impossible!"
Zeller said firmly.
The Minotaur spread his hands:
"Then I don't know. Anyway, this is the current rumor in Bigfoot City. Even Rhaegar's death method is spread in a decent way."
Matthew asked curiously:
"What way to die?"
Little Patton said:
"I heard that he was stabbed from beginning to end like a skewer."
"The murderer is Harrison, the demon prince of the Bulu tribe."
"They said that Harrison had made a great contribution this time. The only male heir of the Blood Banner Kingdom was killed. It was only a matter of time before the Bru tribe won the war of Escana."
Hear this.
Zeller frowned, but he still shook his head and said:
"impossible."
"Rhaega will not die that easily...wait, is there only news about him? Where are Dulin and Asma?"
Little Paton thought for a while:
"In any version of the gossip I heard, there was no mention of Rhaegar having an entourage."
Zeller and Matthew looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
There must be something wrong with the grapevine.
It is most likely a smoke bomb thrown by the Bru tribe or the Blood Banner Kingdom.
It is not even ruled out that Rhaegar himself was involved in fabricating the fake news.
Between the two of them.
Little Paton started taking out things again.
First there was a box of light bulbs, then a small box of pure white crystals, two large circles of copper wires, and some strange parts.
"You all know about light bulbs? This thing is very magical. As long as you input a little current into it, it can continue to light up."
"I saw that no one was looking after the other things, so I took some secretly. You guys can see if they are of any value."
Little Patton said casually.
Matthew glanced at it and found that the white crystal was actually a rather rare astral white crystal.
The internal texture of this white crystal is pure and flawless, and has the function of amplifying or concentrating magical energy.
The quality of copper wires is also very good, making them a bit luxurious.
The crystal is polished very neatly, and the wire specifications are also consistent, which shows that Stuluk Industries has a high level of industrial product smelting and processing capabilities.
As for those weird parts.
According to Little Patton, it was stolen from a warehouse related to generator sets.
According to what he said.
If you give him some more time, he can steal an entire small generator.
This is really outrageous.
Even if Stuluk Industries had taken root in Bigfoot City not long ago and its management level was uneven, such serious omissions would not have occurred.
The greater possibility may be that they are in the process of maximizing their output recently.
The management level of warehousing, transportation and other links has not kept up with the speed of development.
"How about I go inquire about Rhaegar again?"
Little Patton showed his value just right, and then cautiously proposed to Zeller.
Zeller pondered for a long time.
Finally, he solemnly said:
"Pay attention to safety, report every day, and use the escape scroll if something goes wrong. You don't have to be frugal. Do you understand?"
Little Patton patted his chest:
"Don't worry while I do the work."
"I'm sure I'll come back with some gossip that Rhaegar is fine."
Why does this sound so weird?
Matthew couldn't help but touch his nose.
What this guy said before was not something he made up, right?
Zeller didn't doubt this, and he handed another frog doll to little Patton.
"Remember to carry it with you at critical moments, it may come in handy."
Zeller emphasized.
Little Patton happily accepted the doll and ducked toward the crack.
Matthew looked at his back and suddenly asked Zeller:
"I never asked you, what is the frog doll used for?"
There is one hanging on his waist.
It seems to have no other purpose besides decoration.
Zeller smiled faintly:
"You'll know then."
Matthew felt a little itchy.
However, he could also feel a sense of mysticism from it. There must be something to this doll, and it's possible that the power behind it must meet unspeakable conditions in order to be effective.
Is it possible that it is related to Zeller's warlock bloodline?
Just think of this.
Matthew couldn't help but ask again:
"Speaking of which, what kind of creature did your warlock bloodline come from? Can you tell me?"
Zeller smiled softly:
"you guess?"
It’s not like the Giant Frog Lord or something weird, right?
Matthew thought about it.
He asked tentatively:
"Dragon? Blue dragon?"
Zeller said unequivocally:
"Just take it as such."
The more he acted like a Riddler, the more curious Matthew became:
"If you don't tell me, I'll ask Rhaegar."
Zeller glanced at him in surprise:
"Rhaegar won't tell."
Matthew added:
"Then I'll ask Sif."
Zeller smiled:
"Sif doesn't know."
Matthew’s picture shows:
"Then I'll ask Sif to ask Rhaegar!"
Zeller said somewhat amusedly:
"It's rare that you also have a child-like side."
Matthew shrugged:
"People are always curious."
Zeller raised his hands helplessly, and the next moment, a lavender phantom lit up in his pupils.
The phantom was like a dream, like two mists that seemed to be separated from each other.
at the same time.
A series of faint purple scales also grew on both sides of his forehead.
This vision lasted only a few seconds and then disappeared.
Matthew felt the strong aura of the real dragon.
"It's indeed a dragon, but it's definitely not a blue dragon."
He muttered to himself.
Zeller revealed the answer:
"Amethyst dragon, a kind of gem dragon that is almost extinct in the multiverse. I have never encountered the same kind in my life."
"The Amethyst Dragon possesses the power of magic and spiritual energy. Unfortunately, my talent is shallow. I only understand magic and have no spiritual power at all."
Matthew said a little enviously:
"Sometimes I still envy you warlocks. You can master magic while lying down and sleeping."
Zeller laughed:
"I haven't heard of any kind of warlock who can master necromancy."
Matthew was right.
The realm of the dead is indeed an insulated zone for warlocks.
If you think about it this way, it will be balanced.
Zeller added:
"You just said you were going to find Rhaegar, couldn't you be serious?"
Matthew said helplessly:
"We can't place all our hopes on little Patton. If the news becomes more and more outrageous, how should we make a decision?"
"In the end, I still have to go on my own."
Zeller mused:
"But you also said before that it may be risky for you to go to the outer plane."
Matthew replied:
"The probability of me being caught by the evil gods is definitely much lower than the probability of Rhaegar being caught by his sisters."
"Besides, I won't act alone. I plan to use alliance channels. Although the Seven Saints Alliance will not interfere with the outer plane, there are still channels for plane travel. In addition, I may need to hire a bodyguard."
"Should the expenses incurred during plane travel be reimbursed?"
Zeller nodded and said:
"No problem, just ask me to reimburse you."
Matthew shook his head:
"Then I'd better ask Rega to reimburse me."
Zeller smiled:
"I have Rhaegar's little treasury."
"As long as the amount is not too exaggerated, it should be reimbursed."
When Matthew heard this, his heart moved:
"Not too exaggerated means that it can be appropriately exaggerated?"
Zeller was amused by his expression and couldn't help but joke:
"You understand it yourself, just don't spend all the wife money that Rhaegar has saved."
"At least, you should leave him Sif's dowry, right?"
…
Half an hour later.
Crucible House.
"Then for the last practical lesson, I will accompany you on a trip to Purgatory."
Today, Margaret is wearing a plain white dress. The style of the dress is a bit like the Roman warrior uniform Matthew saw in his previous life, but the skirt on the lower body is more crisp and elegant.
She looked full of energy and energy.
"The last lesson?"
Matthew was a little reluctant:
"I think there is still a lot to learn from you, I can add points."
Margaret smiled in relief:
"Those points don't mean much to me.
Before, I had dreamed of completing the legendary way through the project of real alchemy.
So I need gold coins and points.
It's different now.
I have made up my mind to go to the Bloody War Plains and become a legend through the experience of life and death.
Those things are no longer a thing of the past to me.
Strange to say.
When I didn't think about how to go, going to the Bloody War Plains was just a dispensable concept for me.
But when I really made up my mind to do it.
I suddenly longed for that moment to come.
I've been preparing for it these days.
If it weren't for the delay in your classes, I might have left long ago.
I'm really impatient.
If you don't contact me within three days.
You may encounter the first teacher in the history of the league who misses class time."
Her mental state is very full.
The fighting spirit is also very high.
Matthew could feel the urgency from her words, as if he had been inspired by some kind of inspiration. It was mysterious, but it did exist.
"I wish you success."
he said heartily.
"Must succeed."
Margaret said categorically:
"For this trip to the bloody plains, I went to find my mentor again."
Matthew was shocked:
"Can you still have it in your body?"
Margaret proudly raised two fingers:
"I crammed in so much again!"
Matthew was amazed:
"Borrowed another two million?"
Margaret nodded:
"I am definitely the most expensive mage in the history of the alliance."
"If you see my fists, please tremble, devils, they are about to receive 4.6 million fists!"
Matthew thought it was quite scary.
He even wanted to touch Margaret's newly added spell module.
But reason stopped him.
He, a poor necromancer with 500,000 yuan, should not touch the nearly full-level account of Porcelain Family with 4.6 million yuan.
"Speaking of which, why would your lord go to such a dangerous place between planes?"
Margaret asked while contacting the array master.
Matthew briefly explained Rhaegar's identity.
Of course, he omitted the existence of the portal to purgatory.
Margaret nodded:
"Then he's a hot guy."
"If he is willing to introduce the army of the Blood Banner Kingdom, I am afraid he will become a strong candidate to compete for the King of Humanity in the southern part of the continent."
Matthew waved his hand:
"But he didn't want to."
A look of surprise flashed in Margaret's eyes, after listening to Matthew explain Rhaegar's intention.
She was silent for a while and then said:
"This is rare. By doing this, he is equivalent to shouldering all the dangers alone."
"The danger I'm talking about not only refers to the war in the material world, but also the devils and demons in Escana."
"You understand what I mean?"
Matthew nodded with a heavy face.
The pressure faced by Rhaegar is actually two-way.
It is obviously impossible to keep the news of the portal completely secret. Once it is known, devils, devils and other outer plane creatures who are eager to get involved in the material world will look at Rhaegar himself.
If Rhaegar doesn't want to.
Then kill him.
Just find someone who is willing.
This is why Rhaegar had such a difficult time making decisions before.
Just like Margaret said.
He took all the risks on himself.
There will be many people in Escana on the Material Plane who want him dead.
certainly.
There are also many people who wish him alive.
Matthew is one of them.
He knew very well what it meant to be an easy-to-get-together lord in this turbulent era.
He has lived in Rolling Stone Town for so long and has feelings for him, and he doesn't want to be homeless anymore.
So Rhaegar must live.
"You just mentioned war. Since there is going to be a war in the Prime Material Realm, why do you have to go to the bloody plains?"
Matthew suddenly asked.
Margaret shook her head:
"The intensity of the upcoming war in the Prime Material Realm is only a drop in the bucket compared to the bloody war. You should know that the secret war order will be fully released next month at the latest. It will strictly control the intensity of this war in the Prime Material Realm."
Matthew said in astonishment:
"War code? What is that?"
Margaret raised her eyebrows:
"Didn't Isabel or Ekmund tell you?"
Matthew said truthfully:
"They haven't been looking for me much lately."
Margaret was not surprised:
"So it's better for me, my mentor Suriel. Everything is calculated in terms of money. You won't be ignored for no reason, and you won't be rewarded for no reason. Everything is fair."
"Let me get you a copy. Anyway, there are a lot of troublesome clauses. It's like a child playing house."
Said.
She handed Matthew a thick magical document.
Matthew read it quickly.
It was discovered that this secret war order is for all mages of the Seven Saints Alliance and the lords of all city-states within the alliance's radiation range!
As Margaret said, this secret order has many restrictive clauses, which on the surface seem to be to ensure that the intensity of the war will not exceed the limit.
Matthew noticed several key pieces of information.
…
"——Master Registration Principles:
All Seven Saint Alliance mages must complete the registration of their city-state or not to participate in the war within one month of the order being issued.
Mages who choose not to participate in the war must not side with any force in any form during the war;
War among mortals must be avoided as much as possible;
Do not find any reason to end the game (unless the mortal lord takes the initiative to attack);
Mages who choose to participate in the war must abide by the principle of one person, one city, that is, a mage can only be registered in the name of one city-state and cannot be affiliated with multiple parties;
However, multiple mages can be registered under the name of a city;
Mages try not to accidentally injure civilians during war;
Forbidden experiments must not be conducted in the name of war;
——Battle principles:
Conflicts between city-states with similar strength can be resolved through fair and open battles with close numbers of participants.
The venue for the battle will be decided through negotiation between the two parties, and the Seven Saints Alliance will send referees to any battle to ensure the smooth progress of the battle.
Before the battle, both parties must sign a voluntary agreement, and both parties must strictly abide by the outcome of the battle.
usually.
The total number of people fighting on either side will not exceed one thousand at most.
——Principle of surprise attack:
During the war, surprise attacks, rush attacks and other strategies are not prohibited.
However, city-states that have used these strategies and been discovered will be deprived of the opportunity to apply for battle.
——Principle of reciprocity:
When one party to the war behaves without limit, the other party can retaliate reciprocally, but the retaliation must not exceed a certain limit."
…
There are also forty-seven pages of detailed rules for Zero Zero Total below.
Matthew looked quite speechless.
Can the intensity of war also be controlled macroscopically and manipulated microscopically?
He could understand the conflicting attitude of the Seven Saints Alliance's senior leaders towards this war.
They not only hope that this hot war will not harm too many lives, but also know that objective laws cannot avoid it.
The outer plane is watching with eager eyes, in the context of demons, devils and other races completing industrialization one after another.
Irondor, which is still stuck in an agricultural society, really needs to light a fire.
But they don't want this fierce fire to damage their own foundation.
This ambivalence is vividly reflected in this secret order.
It gives people the feeling that they want everything.
"It's obviously an explicit order, why is it called a secret order?"
Matthew asked puzzledly.
Margaret chuckled:
"Because this detailed guide will not be announced publicly, it will only flow to the target group secretly, and everyone will understand it tacitly."
Matthew was even more speechless:
"Can the intensity of war be controlled?"
"Once a war starts, how can it be easily stopped? Even a superior legendary mage cannot underestimate the anger and hatred of mortals."
Margaret waved her hand:
"I don't know. I think they think that as long as the legendary mage doesn't end, the situation will be under control."
Matthew shook his head gently.
The Seven Saints may not end up in trouble, but they will always have relatives, friends, and children, right?
The simple principle that blood debt must be paid with blood is difficult to contain.
And once the rules are broken.
The so-called secret order will also become a joke.
But Matthew didn't say much.
He wouldn't have been able to think of a better solution.
It was just this secret order that made him feel the confusion and vulnerability of the Seven Saints Alliance.
Maybe after losing the Scourge Mage.
The Alliance of Seven Saints, which seemed to be glorious for a while, must also be walking on a windy road.
Think so.
He only felt that the pressure on his body was a little more.
Matthew kept the secret order and planned to go back and throw it to Zeller for study.
The two chatted for a while.
Not long after.
The formation master Margaret had booked has arrived.
"This is the formation master Happy, you can just call him Lele."
"This is Matthew, my student."
Margaret introduced casually.
The formation master named Lele is a very gentle young man.
His attitude towards Matthew was also very warm:
"Hello, hello, are you the only student Margaret has had since the class started?"
Matthew was startled:
"only one?"
Lele smiled and said:
"Of course, before you, all interested parties complained that her price was too high."
"After all, knowledge points are in short supply in everyone's hands."
Matthew blinked:
“I think it’s a great value for money.”
After hearing this, Margaret immediately puffed up her chest, put her hands on her hips and said to Lele:
“Heard no value for money!”
"In the future, even if you want to learn, you won't have the chance. Expensive things are expensive for a reason!"
"I should be that expensive!"
Lele shrugged:
"It doesn't matter, I don't like fighting anyway."
"Where are you going? Escana, right? There has been a lot of instability there recently. I heard that a male heir to the Kingdom of Blood Banner was killed and then raped by a demon. His body was exposed in the wilderness and then made into a corpse by a necromancer.
Zombies…”
Matthew smiled:
"Yes, we are going to save that zombie."
Lele is very professional.
After a quick operation, a portal was opened on the spot:
"Go back quickly, my secret door can last up to seven days."
"You will have to pay more after seven days."
He was talking to Matthew.
Obviously he also knew that Margaret was a pauper.
The two passed through the portal.
Immediately came to a world with scorching sun.
As far as the eye can see is vast red soil.
The two of them were still watching the terrain.
In the crevice of the rock nearby, a scorpion with red eyes crawled quietly.
Matthew noticed something.
He was about to kill the scorpion with magic, but Margaret stopped him:
"Don't worry, we'll wait."
The scorpion flashed past.
five minutes later.
A phantom appeared in the distant sky. The shadow came very quickly and arrived in front of the two of them almost instantly.
Matthew took a closer look.
It was a ray-like creature. The lower body of this thing was a fish, and the upper body was covered with glass and machinery, a bit like an airplane or an airship.
There are two devils inside the ray.
They parked the ray aside, then jumped out of the cabin excitedly, speaking to the two of them in broken human common language:
"beat……"
However, his syllables have not yet been uttered.
Next to Matthew came a burst of well-spoken Abyss Common Tongue:
"Robbery!"
The two demon men were stunned for a moment.
The next second.
A petite figure appeared behind them and picked them up one by one.
Whoosh!
Margaret's figure bounced upwards like lightning, reaching the sky dozens of meters above in an instant, and then fell downwards at an incredible speed.
boom!
Smoke and clouds are rising everywhere.
There were two more humanoid marks on the ground.
And between the two is Margaret's petite and exquisite figure.
She clapped her hands, walked to the ray with ease, and patted the glass cover on it:
"Walk."
"Come aboard with me."
Under Margaret's instructions.
Matthew sat in the back seat nervously.
Margaret was sitting in the front driver's seat.
Since the rays themselves are not big, the two sides are very close to each other, just like riding a motorcycle.
Margaret operated on a dozen mechanical arms and ray tentacles of different colors in front of her.
After a while.
She couldn't help but ask:
"What's hard?"
"You're pushing me!"
Matthew looked down.
He quickly took out the frog doll hanging from his waist.
now.
The glass cover above the ray slowly closed.
Margaret said cheerfully:
"Hold my waist tight."
"I'm going to speed up, Matthew."
Matthew asked nervously:
"What is this? Are you sure you can drive it?"
Margaret said casually:
"Stu Luke's biological airship is nothing unusual."
"With any vehicle, you just have to find the accelerator and press it hard!"
The next second.
A huge pushing feeling hit his back, followed by another frustration, pushing Matthew hard towards Margaret.
In this way, sometimes it accelerates and sometimes it falters.
The biological airship stumbled towards the sky!
…
at the same time.
In a valley littered with corpses.
Rega, who was covered in blood, looked at the crazy devil in front of him with a complex expression.
The crystal points on her forehead sparkled in the sunlight.
Her tongue reached out involuntarily and licked the pure blood.
"Lilith, really don't do this."
Rega's voice was trembling a little:
"Just for my daughter's sake, you know, Sif's horns are exactly the same as yours."
Lilith chuckled:
"Stop being so pretentious Rega, I won't be fooled by anything you say this time!"
"You can never leave the Blood Flag Kingdom without leaving 100 children behind!"
