Chapter 298 The God of Death also likes to explode gold coins?
…
Carmela immediately walked around the stone pillar.
Then she made a red mark somewhere on the lower third of the stone pillar:
"Right here, go straight in, about eighteen inches or so."
"Can your fossils be covered in mud?"
Lorraine made a relaxed and freehand gesture:
"Stop talking about eighteen inches!"
"I can do it even if it's twenty-eight inches!"
As he spoke, he took out the piccolo from his waist and put it to his lips.
Matthew felt much more relaxed when he saw this.
Luo Lan said it was easy, but he did not slack off because of this, but was quite serious.
The bard's spellcasting can be accomplished in a variety of ways.
But the spells cast by the most skilled instruments are the most powerful.
Since Luo Lan took out the piccolo, it means that he is very capable.
Didi beep!
Sure enough, cheerful music sounded, and each light blue musical note accurately hit Carmela's mark.
Under the influence of this music and magic.
The surface of the originally solid stone pillar suddenly became wrinkled like a pond.
Circles of ripples rippled from the center of the mark.
Tick tock tick.
The stones in the surrounding area have turned into liquid, dripping down very slowly.
But thanks to Lorraine's efforts.
The mud fell downward for a certain distance, and then was thrown upward in an extremely abnormal manner, forming arcs in mid-air. In a short period of time, the mud and the stone pillars formed a stable closed area.
"quick."
Luo Lan urged vaguely.
Matthew looked at Carmela, who suddenly walked away quickly:
"Go get it."
"I just discovered that there is an item over there that contains a vast ancient aura. I need to check it out."
Matthew watched her leave.
After a while, he saw that Carmela had indeed grabbed something from the pile of treasures, and then walked aside and stared at the thing.
Matthew's expression was a little weird.
Because if he saw it correctly, the thing Carmela was holding was a spittoon made of gold...
obviously.
The so-called ancient aura is just an excuse, she just needs some private time.
It just makes Carmela still a little lost.
Matthew couldn't help but become more curious about what she saw.
It's just that the other party didn't want to say anything, so it was naturally inconvenient for Matthew to ask more questions.
He glanced at the banshee next to him.
Brianta's condition is worse than Carmela's. I don't know if the brainwashing force is too strong. Now her eyes are white, she is lying on the ground with her arms and legs hanging, and there is drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.
The demented look that has been ruined.
"I hope she can recover!"
Matthew composed himself, and under the urging gaze of Luo Lan, he quickly came to the melted stone pillar.
This stone pillar has been solidified by magic, so it cannot be entered using wall penetration or earth movement.
Matthew tried using Mage Hands in the mud.
However, as soon as he reached in, he felt a strong resistance, and there was an endless squeezing feeling from all around, which suddenly squeezed the mage's hand out!
Poof!
Matthew shook off the limp mage's hand.
"Too soft! Give me something harder!"
Lorraine grinned.
Matthew then stretched out his right hand, but as soon as he put it in, he immediately pulled it out!
Nothing else.
The Hand of Balance contains a large amount of life energy and negative energy. This energy field is so powerful that it severely squeezes the mud as soon as it enters. If it is forcibly entered, it is very likely that Luolan's fossil will become mud and fail.
Will destroy the entire stone pillar!
In this case.
The underground palace will fall into the star realm, and all previous efforts will be in vain.
"I didn't expect it would be so troublesome to get something out of the mud..."
Matthew pondered and used the third spell——
Claws of Astra!
The next second.
The soft tentacles silently pierced into the quagmire, and arched inward with extremely silky smoothness.
Just once.
Then insert at least ten inches!
"This is acceptable!"
Matthew's eyes lit up, and he controlled Esdrael's Claw to move forward. Not long after, he touched something hard!
And at the moment of contact.
Matthew felt a burning pain!
He gritted his teeth and immediately wrapped two tentacles around it.
The pain began to suddenly increase.
Matthew didn't hesitate, endured the huge pain and pulled hard——
Bang!
Mud water splashed all over him.
Astra's Claw seemed to have been burned by some kind of force. It originally had four tentacles, but now only two were left.
And on the ground in front of Matthew.
There is also an oval-shaped object wrapped in mud.
Matthew bent down to observe the object. Overall, it was in the shape of a round arch, with the tip slightly raised and the sides falling smoothly, like a hemisphere with many small bumps.
There is a crack on the top of the object, and there are sharp protrusions on both sides of the crack, like a pair of tiny tentacles. There are countless spiral stripes on the tentacles, giving people a mysterious feeling.
"Is this Guilty Crown?"
Luo Lan also came over.
Matthew canceled Esdrael's Claw smoothly, but he could still feel a stinging pain in his left hand from time to time.
He understood that the source of the stings and burns was this object.
"The Guilty Crown's attributes are actually righteous!"
"And it is the ultimate justice, masculine and fiery!"
Matthew pinched the fingers of his left hand, then switched his right hand to a healing hand, and then he could barely pick up the hot crown.
"So the name of the item is very likely to be a trap. Whether it is passed down by false rumors during inheritance or stigmatized by later generations, many times if you analyze the name of an item only based on experience, it is very likely to come to a completely wrong estimate.
.”
Lorraine shrugged:
"The simplest example is myself. I am indeed known for my honesty in the circle of demigods. So far, only a handful of people know my job."
Matthew was slightly startled:
"So they really call you the Honest Demigod?"
Luo Lan smiled slightly:
"The loyal one, Lorraine, is me."
Matthew was speechless, but then he thought about it, the circle of demigods in Aindo was not big, there were probably only a few people.
It's normal for Lorraine to be deceived for a while.
Matthew held the crown and looked at it carefully. After only looking at each other for a few seconds, his eyes felt a little stinging.
It feels like looking at the sun.
He could feel the energy contained in the crown that was hotter than the sun!
That energy...
It seems to destroy everything!
"So the reason why Bator only took away the Holy Grail and not the crown was found."
"The Holy Grail left by Poole is indeed sinful and very suitable for the devil's bloodline, but the crown is different. It is an item with great righteous energy. Bator cannot control it, so he gave the troll prince the opportunity to control it.
, it is a pity that the latter was unlucky and did not obtain the power in the crown after all."
Matthew speculated:
"Maybe because the Holy Grail has a greater reputation, people in later generations subconsciously thought that the crown was equally evil, so there was a misinformation about the name."
"It is possible that the trolls believed that it was these two items that killed their god Pur, so they were angry at the treasures. In their eyes, this crown should be sinful."
"Even if he shines as brightly as the sun..."
Speaking of which.
Matthew couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He could feel the history and vicissitudes contained in the crown. This feeling was melancholy.
"Do you want to see it?"
Matthew handed the crown to Lorraine.
The latter immediately waved his hand:
"No need."
"I'm not interested in other men's dicks, and neither are gods."
Matthew looked surprised:
"The legend about the crown and the Holy Grail should be just a conceptual reference, right?"
Luo Lan smiled and said nothing.
After a while, he took out the Book of Hebrew Cards and his quill:
"To be honest, I feel that this thing is against me, and I will definitely get burned if I hold it on my hands."
"Besides, I still have to write a manuscript."
As he spoke, he squatted next to him and started writing quickly.
Matthew had to study the crown in depth by himself.
The next second.
He held the crown flat in front of his face, stared at the front of the crown, and the tentacles of his spiritual power slowly touched the surface of the crown.
But at that moment.
An extremely irritable voice rang in Matthew's ears:
"The world needs cleaning!"
"Look at those people, they have so many sins on them!"
"Only the scorching sun and floods can wash away the filth in this world!"
The voice was extremely loud.
Matthew's ears were buzzing from the shock.
Matthew almost took a step back because of this. He asked calmly in his heart:
"Who are you?"
"God Pur!"
So said the grumpy voice.
"No, you're not!"
Matthew stared at the crown calmly:
"You are just a piece of spirituality that remains on the crown, which is completely different from the real god Poole."
The grumpy voice roared:
"You have so many sins on your body, I have tolerated you for a long time!"
"How dare you disrespect me now, I will burn you to death!"
The words were not spoken yet.
The crown's surface ignited with blazing flames.
Matthew, who was well prepared, quickly switched his healing hand to a pale hand!
Terrifying negative energy poured out, and a cold breath spread to the area around him.
In just an instant, the flames on the crown's surface were extinguished.
"You don't deserve me!"
"Get off your dirty negative energy hands!"
The irritable voice continued to shout in Matthew's ears.
Matthew said coldly:
"Yes, I don't deserve it!"
"But my toilet should be worthy of yours."
The crown roars:
"you dare!?"
Matthew threatened without mercy:
"If you continue to be rude and unable to have a good conversation, I will throw you into a pit and seal you for a hundred years!"
The crown was silent for a few seconds.
Then he said in a bad tone:
"I will not accept a necromancer threatening me!"
Matthew did not give the other party a chance to continue speaking:
"If you can keep your word, it's no longer a threat!"
The next second.
Matthew quickly opened the demiplane and stepped into it.
He dug a hole anywhere and threw the crown in!
"etc!"
Wang Guan's tone was slightly flustered:
"I...I can temporarily take back my anger..."
Matthew walked away without looking back:
"But I can't take back my anger."
Snapped!
He threw a few pieces of blood-stained shrouds into the pit, and placed several extremely pure negative energy stones beside it.
Done all this.
Matthew directly blocked the roar of the crown.
"This thing is more troublesome than the Holy Grail..."
Matthew frowned.
The Holy Grail only encourages, tempts, and corrupts people, like a snake-hearted demon witch;
The crown, on the other hand, is like a complete fool, constantly forcing the holder to do things that are just incomparable to him but unbelievable to others.
"Extreme justice is indeed very hot."
Matthew transferred Peggy and asked her to personally guard the crown.
He himself came to the beach on the edge of the demiplane.
Compared with last time.
There are a few more wooden boxes here.
However, just like last time, the wooden box was still empty.
The more Matthew looked, the more annoyed he became.
suddenly.
He kicked a wooden box violently——
Crackling!
The wooden box was kicked to pieces.
Matthew felt so relieved that he kicked all the wooden boxes on the beach to pieces one after another.
After doing all this.
He felt relieved.
"No, my mood seems to be affected..."
Matthew rubbed his butt——
When he kicked the box just now, he used too much force and couldn't stop it. His hip seemed to be slightly strained.
But it's not a big problem.
He glanced at the data column.
…
"Tip: Under the influence of the "Crown of Gods", your mood becomes very irritable!
You gain a ray of justice from the Crown of the Gods!
You have mastered the new ability "Dagger of Justice"!
Dagger of Justice: You can throw a dagger at the enemy. The target damaged by the dagger will be burned with fiery energy.
Lasts thirty seconds.
Under the burning effect, the enemy will continue to lose concentration.
Specially, when you throw the Dagger of Justice from behind an enemy, you will deal double the damage and burn duration!
Note: Accumulate more power of justice, and you will have the opportunity to step into the field of justice and gain more related abilities!
Warning: The field of justice has strong exclusivity. If it cannot be reconciled smoothly, it may cause damage to your other fields!"
…
"Sure enough, it's because of the crown."
Matthew's heart moved, and he decisively opened the mode of control to calm the remaining anger in his heart.
"I only had a brief contact with the crown, and I gained the ability from the realm of justice. What on earth did that troll prince do?"
"The reason why it is the dagger of justice is because I have mastered short weapons? If I am good at other weapons, this ability may form characteristics that adapt to other weapons..."
Matthew thought secretly.
No matter what, the Crown of Justice is a treasure from which Matthew can draw strength.
But extreme justice is too dazzling. If there are no protective measures, you may be swallowed by this power.
The unprovoked irritability just now was a warning.
"Maybe I should learn some sealing techniques."
Matthew calmed down completely.
The Demonic Seal can restrain the Holy Grail of Sin, but cannot restrain the Crown of Justice.
Therefore he needs new sealing spells.
But this is not difficult for Matthew. In the realm of the dead, there are many useful spells that can tarnish justice!
When he left half outside, he was still daydreaming:
"What would happen if the crown and the Holy Grail were put together?"
"Forget it, these two things are left by the gods. Their energy is very powerful, but they need guidance and development. Before I have a legend, it is better not to let them meet."
Return to the hanging island.
Matthew looked back and saw that Lorraine was grabbing a quill and writing quickly.
You can guess it from the weird smile that appears on his face from time to time.
He is definitely not seriously creating at the moment.
As for Carmela.
She was still in a daze, but the thing she was holding in her arms changed from a golden spittoon to a golden pony.
Is that a pony?
Matthew looked at the bumps on the pony's back.
A little unsure.
The two legendary bosses were busy with their own affairs, so Matthew had to take care of himself and sort out the loot.
Prince Philip's funeral objects were extremely gorgeous.
A lot of gems piled together, as bright as the stars on a summer night, are priceless at a glance.
However, it was only after Matthew actually took stock that he found out.
"be cheated!"
“The value of Prince Philip’s personal grave goods is far less than that of his two brothers on the two floors above!”
Matthew's expression was quite complicated.
The reason for this is that Philip's burial objects were mainly composed of colorful amphibole.
In the era of the Troll Empire.
Limited by mining methods and distribution in nature.
Amphibole, a magic stone rich in elemental energy, is a very precious thing. Each amphibole is priceless, especially the three colors of red, blue, and yellow amphibole are extremely precious!
Prince Philip was buried with a large number of red, yellow and blue amphibole.
This may have been a symbol of financial strength at the time.
But now.
Times have changed.
The secret of artificial amphibole has been broken through by enchantment, and Rodrick's alchemy factory has long been able to mass-produce various high-end amphibole.
Since then, the value of this thing has plummeted.
Matthew estimated that he would be lucky if the sum of the amphibole here could sell for two hundred thousand.
"I heard that the artificial amphibole was researched by Su Ruier. At first, she still covered the source and refused to release it.
Later, due to the large amount of amphibole flowing into the market, other mages imitated it, and more artificial amphibole appeared on the market.
After that, she cooperated with Roderick and established the amphibole factory in Northland..."
Matthew smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The final harvest of this trip was not as high as expected, and it was all Suriel’s fault!
Of course Prince Philip himself has problems.
If only he could be as honest as his brothers and keep some fine gold, mithril or other magic gems!
Except for the amphibole in one place.
Matthew also found some interesting items or props——
…
"Disciple Scroll*2 (Consume this scroll, and you may be recognized by a random outside leader. After accepting a series of tests, you will become his disciple.
And when consuming the scroll, there is a certain outsider sect leader around you or you are under his gaze, you will be able to directly become his disciple.)"
"Instructor's Spear (When a humanoid creature with strength greater than fourteen points and at least one arm grasps this spear for one consecutive week, he will change his profession to a "spear thrower")"
"Transformation Amulet (When you wear this amulet, the effects of all your spells and abilities in the transformation field will be slightly improved. In particular, after transformation, you will gain a hidden magic shield. If and only if you
When the transformed form receives severe damage, the magic shield will automatically open and save that damage)"
…
"Tamiro's transmogrification ball (every week, the transmogrification ball will refresh its transmogrification target.
During this period, if you use the transmogrification ability of the transmogrification ball, you will transform into the target and inherit all the appearance and details of the target.)"
"Unknown legendary scrolls*3 (your knowledge cannot identify the true contents of these three legendary scrolls. Only the blood of trolls can unlock the use of the scrolls)"
"Tamiro's Mysteries of the Human Body (a book that explores the mysteries of the human body itself. Using this book as a medium, you will be able to master the realm of flesh and blood)"
…
Matthew didn't expect to find the Disciple Scroll here.
This thing is a rare thing, and only higher-level foreign sect leaders have the ability to make it themselves.
The foreign sect leader that Isabel had asked him to work part-time before had only one disciple named Laila.
And with this disciple scroll.
Matthew can continue to develop this profession and recruit more disciples for his own use.
The functions of the instructor's spear and the transformation amulet are obvious.
The former can train an unlimited number of spearmen for Matthew. Although the production capacity is only forty-eight for one year, it will definitely be regarded as a fortune as time accumulates.
Matthew planned to take it back and let the zombies try it out first. If the zombies didn't work, they would look for other races.
The latter can improve the effect of the transformation field, which is equivalent to adding a life-saving magic shield in the wilderness form. Matthew still likes it very much.
After checking that there are no problems.
He put it on immediately.
As for Tamiro's transmogrification ball, this thing is probably just fun.
Matthew looked at it.
The current transmogrification target is "rooster".
If Matthew wanted to, he could look like a rooster, but in reality he was still a human.
This is the effect of illusion.
Matthew estimated that although the illusion effect of this transfiguration ball could not reach the legendary realm, it was definitely at the peak level of the fifth level.
It can be seen from this.
This Tamiro must have been a powerful mage during his lifetime.
Matthew recalled it.
He actually found Tamiro's origin in the tomb information——
"It turns out to be Prince Philip's royal wife."
Matthew suddenly understood.
The remaining three legendary scrolls and the book were also left behind by Tamiro.
He carefully placed the three scrolls.
Be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years. Who knows if there is a vicious curse attached to the scroll.
As for that book.
Matthew pondered and turned out the Tamiro's Secret Book of Herbal Medicine that he had found earlier.
He stacked the two books on top of each other.
The evil power becomes even more obvious!
"Flesh, flesh, voodoo...are indeed not a good realm."
Matthew was secretly wary.
He blessed himself with protection from evil, and then reached out to open the two books.
However, his action is not yet complete.
Luo Lan's voice came from the side:
"You'd better not touch those two books."
Matthew looked back and saw that Loren was still chatting with Rosie. The quill in his hand was even still replying, but he raised his head and looked at Matthew:
"It's okay to touch, but protective measures must be taken."
"The protection measures I am referring to are at least high-level or even higher-level protection against evil."
Matthew retracted his hand:
"You know Tamiro?"
Lorraine shook his head:
"I don't know them, but I can feel a familiar atmosphere from those two books."
"Remember Asitana?"
"The twilight creature that tainted Flynn's demigod persona?"
"Everything I did in Zeshui City was to get rid of Ashitana's mark. Being targeted by him is a troublesome thing!"
Matthew's heart moved.
Immediately he looked at Asitana on the watch list and smiled bitterly:
"I think I've been targeted by Him."
"I was a little confused before, but now I understand that the medium through which He targeted me was these two books."
Luo Lan put away his quill, stood up and walked over:
"In this case, you will be losing money if you don't read these two books carefully."
"Anyway, I have already felt the gazes of many dusk creations on you, and it doesn't hurt to have one or two more."
Matthew thought for a while:
"So Prince Philip's wife, Tamiro, is actually a believer in Ashitana, the creature of dusk?"
Lorraine nodded:
"It's very possible, but the greater possibility is that Tamiro is Asitana himself!"
"Don't look at me with such a surprised look. The Creator of Twilight is not afraid of doing something cold. Not to mention trolls, even goblins will do it as long as they can achieve their goals."
"Although the fall of the troll empire was led by Baator and the gods, other forces may not have taken the opportunity to get a share of the pie."
"Asitana is the more active and weaker one among the dusk creations. He only controls the fields of flesh and blood, voodoo, plague, etc. He loves to create clones and then influence the world.
It is said that at most, there were more than a dozen incarnations of Asitana walking in the main material world at the same time.
What's even more outrageous is.
Since these incarnations have no memory of each other, they even fought with each other..."
Loren explained the news about Asitana wantonly.
After listening to this, Matthew quickly put the two books away.
He must read these two books.
but not now.
Now he is not ready to face the creation of dusk, even the spiritual imprint.
At the very least, you need to have more divinity!
While the two were talking.
The succubus Brianta slowly wakes up.
But her condition still looked very bad, her eyes were blank and she couldn't stop drooling from her mouth.
"Sorry, Matthew, I made a mistake."
Carmela came over holding the golden pony:
"The brainwashing technique has backfired, and her memory has been almost completely washed away. However, she knows very little about it. If you are interested, just ask me directly."
Matthew nodded.
He did not directly ask what Carmela discovered during the brainwashing, but made a lighthearted joke:
"You were holding these two gold products just now. Did you discover something?"
Unexpectedly, Carmela actually nodded:
"There is a discovery."
"What?"
Matthew's face was full of curiosity.
Carmela stuffed the golden pony and golden spittoon into Matthew's arms:
"Both things are gold-plated."
Matthew weighed the items in his hands and sighed again.
Sure enough it's not pure gold.
This means that the income will drop slightly again.
However, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. With this mentality, Matthew still put these two golden things away.
Then he took over the dead demon Brianta through the undead contract.
The latter was affected by brainwashing and became delirious.
It was easy to become Matthew's person.
…
"Tip: You have obtained a new summon "Banshee-Brianta"!
You command Brianta to open her domain of the tomb to you!
Command successful!
Brianta's loyalty dropped to 60 points!
You annexed Brianta's Tomb Realm, and during this time, a spell you mastered resonated with the Tomb Realm!
Your spell "Astra's Claw" has been upgraded to "Death's Touch" with the enhancement of the Grave Realm!
Compared to the original version of Esdrael's Claw, Death's Touch has the following additional effects -
-
The number of tentacles has doubled, that is, you will be able to get eight tentacles at the same time;
-
The dimensions, length and number of suckers of the tentacles have been doubled; -
The touch of death will cause higher damage to people who are older and closer to death in terms of life span, and the success rate of death judgment will be higher; -
When Death's Touch kills a unit over a hundred years old, you will be able to obtain some gold coins from the storage items carried by the target unit!"
…
Touch of Death?
The improvement in the effect of this spell is a bit interesting!
Matthew touched his chin, and he could feel the malice directed towards the old man from the touch of death.
"Could it be that the God of Death also likes to explode gold coins?"
He just thought this.
A strong arcane wave suddenly came from the sky above the island in the middle of the lake!
The three of them all felt something in their hearts and quickly looked over.
But I saw a portal quickly forming in that area.
Immediately afterwards.
Two rather graceful figures walked out of the portal.
Matthew has sharp eyes.
Those are two goblins!
One of them seems familiar!
…
"Hint: You encountered the elf warlock "White"!
You encountered the great goblin "Tasha" (the incarnation of the Midnight Queen)
Note: The Midnight Queen once paid special attention to you."
