Chapter 294 Aren’t you afraid that they will crawl out of the coffin?
…
Matthew chose OK without hesitation!
If the opponent is a serious necromancer, demigod or lich, he may still be wary of it.
A mere banshee...
Instead, it exposed the weakness of this tomb!
as expected.
The next second, a smile appeared on Matthew's face.
…
"Hint: You have seen through the "intimidation" and "deterrence" of the banshee!
Sue Brianta, the banshee, for refusing your field duel!
She chose to run away!
You will use the tomb realm to infiltrate the tomb in front of you openly.
At most twenty hours later.
This tomb will be transformed into your temporary domain!"
…
"Sure enough, he is just pretending to be a ghost."
Matthew silently sensed the changes around him.
With the banshee retreating without a fight.
The plants and trees nearby seemed to become more friendly and gentle.
This is the field effect.
In other words, Matthew only has the initial exploration level in the tomb field.
The corresponding field scope is smaller and the penetration speed is slower.
If it were an oak tree, undead, or tauren, it would only take an hour for the area of several kilometers to become his temporary domain!
Matthew closed his eyes and took in the sensation.
He could feel that with the friction between him and Brianta this time, the entire tomb seemed to come alive!
That was a sign that all the cemetery guards were out in force.
But Matthew wasn't worried about that.
At that moment, he faced the tomb realm and quietly used the earth magic once!
With the blessing of the tomb field, this spell allows Matthew to learn all the information about the tomb in the shortest possible time.
quickly.
A large amount of information poured into Matthew's mind.
As he had previously judged, the threat level of this tomb was not high.
Its owner, Prince Philip, was not a guy who was keen on necromancy, so there was no similar ceremony place in his tomb.
And under the natural conditions of the main material world.
It is difficult to form a very dangerous grave.
Matthew quickly glanced at the information.
It is confirmed that the Eternal Underground Palace has three nominal floors, corresponding to the burial places of Prince Philip and their two brothers.
Prince Philip himself is buried on the third floor, where there are a large number of burial objects and priceless treasures.
Corresponding to this are more dangerous mechanisms and traps.
"The number of traps on the third floor has actually reached this level?"
"A little carelessness will cause the entire underground palace to collapse and be destroyed?"
Matthew frowned.
It seems that you need to be particularly careful when entering the third floor.
In addition to mechanisms and traps, there are only three types of monsters that can pose a threat to future generations, namely zombies, skeleton trolls and snake vines.
Among these three monsters, the first two are undead units, and the snake vine is a plant-type monster. The level is not high and neither is difficult to deal with.
After reading it, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Carmela who was looking around——
The red-robed priest did not lie. This tomb was indeed relatively safe and a suitable place for newcomers like himself to practice.
In Irondor, especially on the Material Plane.
The longer a tomb is, the more dangerous it is.
The more important decisive factor is whether there is the intervention of external forces and the tilt of the negative energy plane.
If this is a place run by a lich or corpse witch all year round, then even if the history is not long enough, it will be extremely dangerous;
If there is no external force involved, and there is no intersection with the plane of negative energy, then even if the undead form themselves in this tomb, these undead will consume themselves over a long period of time.
The immortals also have life spans.
They just look more like immortals than living people.
Especially tombs like the Eternal Underground Palace.
Since the history of the world of Irondor lacks time scale measurement, you simply cannot determine whether the Troll Empire was active thousands of years ago or tens of thousands of years ago.
Such a long time is enough to destroy the vast majority of the undead in the underground palace who have self-born spiritual intelligence.
It is unlikely that the ones left behind are any shockingly powerful people.
This is the cruelty of time.
In the face of time.
There is no real immortality.
After thoroughly understanding the bottom of the Eternal Underground Palace, Matthew decided to improve his operational efficiency.
Not the same as usual.
This time, there are two legends competing in the battle, and it is a tomb that I know very well, so there is no need to be too muddled.
Now.
Matthew took out Ursul's Rebuke and opened the realm of the undead.
Under the influence of field agitation.
He once again gained the temporary status "Kingly Appearance".
At this time, he stood in the two realms of the tomb and the undead, holding a long whip that could be called the nemesis of the undead. No matter what kind of tomb guard he encountered, he was enough to crush them!
It happened to be at this time.
Matthew sensed that the previously placed teleportation tombstone had also stabilized.
Time to call in more hands!
call out!
Suddenly there was a sound of wind overhead.
A group of bone bats flew out of a fist-sized gap.
They went straight for Matthew with a fierce look in their eyes!
But Matthew was not afraid at all.
While he chanted the summoning technique of the dead loudly, he whipped the group of bats hard with the whip in his hand!
Bang bang bang!
Ursul's scolding waved quickly.
Although Matthew is not proficient in whipping.
Just relying on the undead dispelling effect of this weapon is enough to wipe out these bats without eyes.
A few seconds later.
A huge dark purple portal quickly took shape on the ceiling.
Immediately afterwards.
A touch of dragon power came from behind the door.
A huge claw appeared in front of everyone out of thin air!
"Owner!"
Philoleus was still so respectful.
"Please give the order!"
Matthew smiled:
"Before giving the order, let me show you something good first."
As he said that, he led Xiao Fei to the pit. The giant skeleton beast summoned by the banshee had collapsed, and the bones fell into the pit again.
Bones that have not turned into bone meal after tens of thousands of years.
Of course it is of high quality.
"I'm here today to fulfill my original promise."
"I know you are now a king and you may not necessarily value these bones, but they are yours!"
"Not just these, all the bones in this tomb belong to you!"
Matthew said with a smile.
The soul fire in Xiao Fei's huge head began to shake rapidly.
There was also strong joy in his voice:
"I, I didn't expect you to actually... No, I always believed that this day would come."
"grateful!"
The next second.
The bone dragon jumped directly into the pothole, but when he saw him rolling on the spot, a large number of bones were automatically attached to his appearance!
A faint blue light appeared on Philoleus' body.
He rolled around on the ground several times.
A few blinks.
His body is much bloated than before!
In the pit, there was only a pile of bone meal.
Xiao Bo opened his mouth and sucked hard, and in the surprised eyes of a group of people in Gem Bay, the bone meal disappeared completely!
Immediately afterwards.
He came to Matthew respectfully and lowered his head again.
Snap.
Two things came out of the bone dragon's mouth:
"Master, thank you for your gift. This is a little bit of my gratitude."
Matthew looked down.
The first thing is a small brown bottle, which is a space item filled with high-grade bone meal.
This thing is a treasure obtained by refining ordinary bone powder through high-level undead units of the skeleton system.
Matthew did the math.
The value of this thing is even more than the bone meal that Philoleus swallowed.
However, Matthew was not polite to him and put it away directly.
If I don't accept it, it's mainly because I'm worried that Xiao Fei will be worried.
The second item is a coin-sized bone.
Matthew put it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it. As a result, the thing grew bigger and bigger as he rubbed it, and in an instant it was as big as a palm.
Its appearance looks like a small shield.
Matthew soon figured out the use of this item——
This thing is usually only the size of a coin, making it very easy to carry.
After injecting a small amount of negative energy.
It will become a shield.
Depending on the amount of negative energy injected, the size of the shield can be adjusted.
It can form a tower shield up to two meters high!
The shield's armor rating can only be described as excellent.
But the advantage is that this thing can be used without the need for relevant weapon proficiency. It is easy to get started and flexible to use.
For mages, it can be controlled directly through mental power, which can theoretically withstand many physical attacks.
"You are interested."
Matthew smiled and gently stroked the outermost bone armor of the ghost bone dragon.
He could feel that Xiao Fei's strength had improved slightly.
There is no shortcut to improving the strength of skeleton-type creatures, just looking for more and better bones or bone powder.
If only all the bones in this tomb could be brought to Xiao Fei.
His foundation as a bone dragon will be more solid.
This also laid the foundation for the re-evolution of the Ghost Bone Dragon.
"Please let me do something for you."
Xiao Fei pressed his chin firmly to the floor, and the golden bone needle on his chin quickly retracted, forming a very powerful hidden weapon.
"Not in a hurry."
Matthew continued to call his own people.
The second one is Paige.
"Matthew? I just wanted to find you!"
"After Sif left, I have been bored every day these days...Who are you going to fight with?"
"Did they provoke you?"
As the tauren skeleton spoke, he drew out the golden bone blade and looked around eagerly.
The faces of Gem Overseas and the others tightened.
Matthew had no choice but to comfort him:
"Calm down, I'm just here to rob the tomb."
"I'm not here to tear down the house!"
"They are not enemies."
Peggy put the knife away angrily.
quickly.
Death Knight 47, A Bing, Coolie Mother Miaosaki and others also appeared next to Matthew one after another.
at the same time.
Matthew did not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of gold coins, directly using the teleportation tombstone as the base point to activate several group teleportation techniques.
For a while.
The first tomb became extremely crowded.
Hundreds of coolie zombies are waiting.
"Xiao Fei, go to the second tomb chamber, the one on the left!"
"Peggy, take a team of people to the third tomb!"
"47 and A Bing, you two each lead a team of people to the fourth tomb!"
"Ms. Miaosaki, please ask the zombies under your control to cooperate with them and move back all the valuable things you see!"
"You can move it back if it's worthless and has nothing to do!"
"Move well!"
"Be careful and don't make any mistakes!"
"Mr. Stanley, if you are willing to cooperate with my undead men and eliminate some traps on non-main roads, I am willing to share 10% of the harvest from this trip with you."
Matthew turned to the Gem Bay group.
At this time, there was not much surprise visible on the faces of these colleagues.
Only deep numbness remains.
Stanley scratched his head.
Looking at the zombies who were working hard and carrying rocks, he always felt that his worldview had been severely shattered.
He has never seen such wild tomb robbing methods!
Before Stanley could speak.
Behind him, Linden began to whisper again.
But this time his voice was very quiet:
"You are doing evil, you are destroying cultural relics!"
"This is destroying cultural relics..."
Matthew came to him with a smile.
Linden was immediately frightened. He wanted to hide behind him, but the zombies behind him were so densely packed that he had no way to hide.
Faced with this kind of excellence.
Matthew was also quite speechless:
"What does the troll's cultural relics have to do with me, a human being?"
"But I do need a favor from you."
"Of course, as for whether you want to do this favor or not, it depends on your own opinion. Carmela and I are different. I am easier to talk to and not very threatening. It is impossible for me to turn you into an immortal.
Threatening you."
Linden trembled:
"I help, I help!"
"Just tell me what you want me to do."
Matthew pointed to Xiao Fei Peggy and others at the front and said:
"I want you to help them distinguish which are valuable cultural relics and which are ordinary stones that can be recycled."
"Of course I will save valuable things. In fact, this magic circle leads to my cemetery. The cemetery is rich in negative energy and is the environment closest to the tomb. There is no place more suitable than my cemetery.
Cultural relics are preserved!”
"how do you feel?"
Linden looked a little angry, but he didn't dare to look at Matthew, so he could only say weakly:
"I'll just help."
"But when you do something like this... aren't you afraid that they will get up from the coffin?"
He still couldn't help but say one more thing.
Matthew followed Linden's gaze in confusion.
The latter was looking at the three coffins placed in the middle.
Matthew's eyes lit up.
He patted his thigh and said:
"Thanks to you for reminding me, I almost forgot!"
"The three of them can also get up and work!"
next moment.
In Linden's eyes were shocked and regretful.
Matthew once again chanted the universal summoning spell of the undead.
Ten seconds later.
…
"Tip: You summoned a new undead "Troll Zombie"!
It is detected that the newly born troll zombies were a family of three when they were alive. Should they be allowed to maintain the relationship they had before they were alive?
The contract is being modified and the maintenance is successful!
You have obtained a new undead swarm unit "Troll Family (Zombie)""
…
Matthew looked at the three troll zombies crawling out of the coffin in front of him with great interest.
They did not wear many burial objects because of the troll custom, which required them to be naked after entering the coffin.
But their bodies still have a very high degree of integrity.
His status is self-evident.
"You three, carry your coffins back to the cemetery first!"
"Then go find work for the mother of coolies!"
Matthew quickly issued the order.
The three troll zombies looked at each other in confusion. Soon, with the help of other zombies, they each carried a sarcophagus and bent over and walked towards the portal.
"Mr. Lyndon?"
"I wonder what else I didn't do well?"
"You can remind me though!"
Matthew looked at Lyndon with a smile.
Lin Deng fled.
After running a few steps, he was picked up by 47 and disappeared among the zombies.
Matthew looked at Linden's back, his eyes gradually turning cold.
He always felt that something was wrong with this Lyndon.
"I'm going to help eliminate the trap first!"
Stanley wisely went to work.
The others followed up.
Matthew's eyes swept across the Gem Bay group one by one.
suddenly.
He noticed the figure from the back.
"This woman... seems to be very strange."
Matthew stared at Daisy intently.
At this time, Luo Lan came over with a sad face, a piccolo in his mouth, paper and pen in hand.
He followed Matthew's gaze and looked over:
"Do you like this type?"
"It is true that a woman like Daisy is too old for me, but she is just right for you."
Matthew shook his head:
"No, I just think Daisy is a bit too ordinary."
"She seems out of place here."
Lorraine complained:
"Everyone seems out of place in front of your tomb robbing techniques, okay?"
"And how is she ordinary?"
"The breasts are obviously very big and outstanding!"
Matthew was speechless:
"You really have no other feelings for her?"
Luo Lan said decisively:
"have!"
"Didn't you find that her temperament is very similar to that of the bald stick?"
The bald priest, of course, refers to the red-robed priest Carmela.
Matthew suddenly understood.
He had felt something similar before, but without Lorraine clarifying it, it might have been difficult for him to realize it.
This shows that Daisy is no ordinary person!
"She is also an ancient person?"
Matthew asked.
Lorraine shook his head:
"Not necessarily. It's hard to say things like temperament. It might just be your and my misunderstanding."
"Besides, she didn't say anything even though the magic stick was here, why should we bother?"
"You asked me so many questions, but I have to answer one!"
Matthew looked at the pen and paper in his hand, nodded and said:
"Okay, you ask."
Luo Lan said without thinking:
"You're flying... Do you prefer to use your left hand or your right hand when planting trees?"
Matthew looked at each other with a strange expression.
What kind of problem is this?
He said casually:
"Not sure, sometimes the left hand and sometimes the right hand."
"Sometimes I use both hands."
"Why do you ask?"
Luo Lan smiled slightly:
"Write an origin story for your weapon!"
“You have to add enough details to make it look more real!”
Is this so?
Matthew thought for a moment and added:
"Actually, I didn't do it all by myself."
"Sometimes I ask zombies to help me do it."
Luo Lan's eyes lit up, he grabbed the pen and paper and ran away.
Watching his leaving figure.
Matthew frowned slightly.
I always feel like something is wrong.
But now that he was working, he didn't have time to waste on Luo Lan.
"I just dug so many rocks, I need to replenish my energy!"
Think so.
Matthew took out a glass of milk from his bag and drank it.
“The taste of milk is just average.”
"When you go to the Floating City another day, you must remember to ask Fei Liwen to learn the milk tea technique!"
Think so.
He picked up the shovel again.
We walked towards the stone wall of the next tomb.
…
Six hours later.
In the fourth tomb on the second floor, the zombies are diligently transporting all the loot up.
There is Miaosaki in charge of scheduling.
Xiao Fei Peggy and others are mopping up the monsters.
Matthew's job was much simpler.
He only needs to maintain the domain, and then count the loot!
The first two floors were swept smoothly.
Matthew encountered little decent resistance.
The only accident was when a zombie accidentally ran into a sulfuric acid trap while moving rocks.
The extremely high concentration of strong acid corroded part of the zombie's body.
But that's all.
The corrosiveness of negative energy is indeed inferior to that of strong acid in the short term, but the effect is superior on a longer time scale.
Therefore, most undead have strong resistance to strong acid.
If it were a big living person.
I'm afraid it has turned into a puddle of sour water by now.
As for the tomb guards.
Even the eldest sister who took the lead in telling the banshee to death ran away.
Naturally, the remaining stinky fish and rotten shrimps cannot be the enemy of the bone dragon.
These factors are taken care of.
Matthew also has the advantage of having a large number of people.
Sweeping is naturally very brisk.
At that moment, he made a preliminary inventory and found that he had harvested a large amount of stones and cultural relics on the first two floors, as well as priceless burial objects.
Burial objects are mainly composed of gems, ceramics, gold and silver.
The value of this portion exceeds three million gold coins.
This is because Prince Philip’s other brother, who is buried on the second floor underground, is relatively poor.
All I can say is that tomb robbing does bring in money quickly!
Necromancer is the most suitable profession for tomb robbing.
Of course, ordinary necromancers can't shake hundreds of zombies at once like Matthew.
The cost is simply too high.
They can't afford it.
The next harvest was more than thirty zombie figurines.
Matthew has had these things carefully transported to the cemetery. To him, this is the blind box of the undead.
Although most of the units released from Zombies are banshees.
But the subdivision categories and functionality are different.
Matthew is looking forward to this very much.
In addition, there are some magic books from the Troll Empire, as well as well-preserved spell props.
Matthew took a cursory look at a few magic books.
Then I was unexpectedly disappointed.
As he knew, the troll's magic book was quite crude, its spellcasting system was not perfect enough, and its power could not be compared with contemporary spells.
In the world of Irondor.
Ancient magic is far inferior to modern spells. The spells from the era of the Goddess of Magic are not as good as today's alliance spells, not to mention the older giant magic.
After all, the spells of the Seven Saints Alliance were rolled out crazily under the high pressure of the gods.
In terms of quality, it beats the old times in all aspects.
Take fireball as an example.
If the power of fireball in the troll era was 1.0.
Then the power of several fireball techniques that have been deduced to the extreme in Isabel's knowledge base are all above 6.5.
This does not include the matching metamagic abilities.
The world is constantly evolving.
Not just mages.
This is true even for warlocks who are known for their bloodline inheritance.
Some mages in the alliance have done relevant research, and the results show that the power coefficient of the fireball spell of the kobold warlocks in the Age of Enlightenment of the Gods is about 1.1.
The fireball power of contemporary self-awakened kobold warlocks is usually above 3.6.
This shows that changes in the general environment are also promoting the adaptation of bloodline inheritors.
In the process of bloodline inheritance.
Warlock's power is also constantly being optimized and accumulated.
This shows that at least in the field of magic.
The difference between Irondor's past and present is quite obvious.
These magic books can only be used as historical materials for reference, and their learning value is almost zero.
Matthew plans to donate it to a magic academy in the Alliance.
Just think of it as a bit of a boost in reputation.
besides.
There are also four interesting items.
The first piece is called "God Armor", which is a set of full-body armor made of mysterious jet black metal.
This armor requires troll blood to be worn.
In addition to its excellent basic attributes.
The wearer can also burn essence and blood to enter the so-called "god state".
It is said that in the state of a god, the wearer will be able to be possessed by the fighting will of the god Pur, thereby gaining invincible power.
Matthew thought that this thing might be useful when dealing with trolls, so he put it away properly.
The second item is an inconspicuous and even somewhat dirty goblet.
This object is called the "Blooded Holy Grail".
To be honest, after listening to Linden's introduction, Matthew was already a little sensitive to the word Holy Grail.
But this cup should be relatively normal and have its own characteristics——
Just fill the cup with water.
Less than five minutes.
The water in the glass will turn into wine.
The taste of this kind of wine is a bit sour, but it can enhance a small amount of mental power after taking it, which is quite rare!
After all, mental strength determines concentration attributes.
Matthew planned to go back and dig a pond, fill it with clean water, and then throw the Bloody Holy Grail into it to see if he could make this kind of wine in batches.
if you can.
This may become another way for him to make money.
After all, what mage doesn’t have any need for spiritual power?
The third item is the recipe for "Psychic Potion".
The main function of psychotropic agents is to enhance local movement ability.
Although Matthew thought it was useless.
But just to be on the safe side, I kept it special.
The fourth item is called "Tamiron's Herbal Codex".
It looks like a herbal medicine book.
But Matthew felt a strange power from it, and its nature was biased toward evil.
…
"Tip: You have obtained Tamiron's Secret Book of Herbal Medicine, which is an enlightenment book from the field of voodoo.
You can enter the realm of voodoo by reading this book in depth. Do you want to read in depth?"
…
Only magic books require in-depth reading.
This book is obviously unusual.
Matthew hasn't opened it yet, not because the voodoo field has a bad reputation——
They are all already necromancers.
Naturally, I don’t have to worry about making matters worse.
He just sensed that there was a very evil power in this book.
"To be on the safe side, let's ask Carmela for an appraisal first."
Matthew looked up.
Just at this moment.
His perception suddenly moved——
The undead contract told him that the undead leading the battle met someone!
Matthew rushed over immediately.
Two minutes later.
Outside a narrow room at the entrance to the third floor.
Matthew saw a group of figures dressed as mercenaries.
They are those colleagues from Sword Winter City.
They seemed to have had an argument with someone.
The reason was that they wanted to enter the room, but a tall figure stood at the door of the room, preventing them from moving.
"If you want to go in, you have to answer me a question."
"If you answer correctly, you will get what you want."
"If you answer wrong, you will be killed by me."
"For you, the best choice is to retreat immediately."
The tall figure with a sphinx's body stopped the tomb robbers in Jiandong City and said calmly.
Matthew suddenly became interested.
Isn't this the Sphinx?
Shouldn't this guy be working in his own cemetery?
Why do you still have time to work part-time here?
