Since it was Ronan's invitation, Matthew naturally would not refuse.
He planned to take a short rest and head to the moon immediately.
Suddenly.
A little flame burst out from Matthew's fingertips.
The letter was immediately burned to ashes and fragments.
At this time, the God of War Zombie asked stiffly:
"What should I do next?"
Matthew immediately replied:
"Keep a low profile, continue to follow the Coolie Mother, and do whatever she asks you to do."
What surprised Matthew a little was.
The other party actually agreed:
"good!"
Matthew quietly sensed Vasnov's soul fire through the deep contract, and the other party's emotions were not disturbed at all.
This shows that his previous fear and submission to the Coolie Mother were completely disguised.
He was just trying to make ends meet.
And even after signing an in-depth contract, he can continue to accept Miaosaki's training.
This shows that Vasnov has a strong ability to endure.
Anyone with strong forbearance ability.
There must be great ambitions.
However, it is precisely because of this that it feels more fulfilling to drive it.
Matthew stared deeply at Vasnov's soul fire.
that moment.
Even if there is no in-depth contract between the two parties, they understand each other's intentions.
This is an obvious game.
Since Matthew has given Vasnov a chance to breathe, the latter will surely rise again one day in the future.
The only variable is that.
What would Matthew be like that day?
Feeling Vasnov's ambition and offense hidden deep in the soul fire, Matthew couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He likes to develop in a low profile.
But never afraid of challenges.
It is a very fulfilling thing to have the former God of War under your control.
Matthew also firmly believes that he can control the other party.
Whether it is now or in the future!
certainly.
For this he must work extra hard.
And legend.
This is just the beginning of the game between Matthew and the God of War.
"Then I'll go find her now..."
Vasnov said calmly.
Matthew nodded slightly, but suddenly called out to the God of War zombie who was about to leave:
"Wait, you go to the moon with me first."
Vasnov was a little confused:
"Um?"
Matthew smiled:
"Don't you want to see your old friends?"
Vasnov said unceremoniously:
"Not at all!"
"But you are the boss, I listen to you!"
Matthew was satisfied with his attitude, and it was his impromptu idea to bring Vasnov with him.
After all, as the second-generation God of War, his understanding of Tianlun Palace is too deep.
As long as you can pry his mouth open.
Whatever the Alliance wants to do next on the moon will be much easier.
But given Vasnov's sensitivity.
Except for Isabel, Matthew does not intend to reveal his true identity to anyone for the time being.
This also includes Ronan.
So Matthew reminded:
"Next, you will disguise yourself as an ordinary zombie and follow me."
Vasnov shrugged:
"Now I am just an ordinary zombie."
"Your teacher forced me to have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. Apart from the remaining divinity and memory, I may not be as strong as an ordinary zombie..."
His tone was very calm.
Matthew couldn't hear a trace of resentment.
he asks:
"Where is your fragment of godhead?"
Vasnov tore open his clothes without hesitation, and then used his blue-grey claws to open the cracks in his stiff belly.
Jam!
It was accompanied by a crisp sound and a strong stench.
He successfully pulled out half of his intestines from his already highly rigid stomach.
Vasnov groped in his intestines for a while, then threw something like a shard of glass to Matthew.
There were still dirty black pieces of flesh and blood stuck to it.
…
"Tip: You have obtained a fragment of the godhead (God of War/Destruction state).
Note: Fragments of the godhead in a state of obliteration are difficult to detect or detect with spells.
You cannot use the fragments of the godhead that are in an obliterated state, unless you can rekindle the divine fire, and then you can mobilize the power and domain within it."
…
It turns out that this guy escaped Isabel's search through the state of obscuration?
Matthew nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing the other party's calm and relaxed appearance, Matthew's rating of Vasnov was even higher in his mind.
This guy is a real ruthless person!
He threw the fragments of his godhead back and then said:
"What about the other fragments of the godhead?"
"I remember that there were many other debris hidden in that meteor shower, right?"
Vasnov shook his head:
"Those fragments were all shattered by Isabel. There may be some remaining fragments of the law, but it is more likely that she took them away."
"As far as I know, the true nature of a mage is the plucking of the goose's hair."
Matthew thought for a while:
"If I can help you find those fragments, will your recovery speed be accelerated?"
Vasnov's soul fire trembled in a rare way:
"Will you help me find them?"
His tone also became filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Matthew nodded:
"Of course I do."
Vasnov was silent for a while and then said with some admiration:
"You are really brave."
Unexpectedly, Matthew actually chuckled:
"It's one thing to find."
"Whether I give it to you or not is another matter."
"You don't think you can get something for nothing, do you?"
Vasnov was speechless.
At this time, gusts of wind came from above the oak forest.
Matthew sensed this message through the Sanctuary of Life.
He knew that the Phoenix Ship was coming.
So he walked out with Vasnov:
"By the way, since you want to stay with me, let me give you a simple name."
Ares Zombie nodded:
"Can."
"Vasnov is too ostentatious, let's call him Ava!"
Matthew said casually:
Vasnov's tone was a bit stiff:
"...Can you change your name?"
Matthew is very easy to negotiate:
"If you don't like it, how about calling me husband?"
Ares Zombie:
"..."
Finally he compromised:
"Then let's call him Ava!"
The two came to the surface, and the Phoenix boat was suspended above the oak forest, attracting many animals to watch.
Even the centaur tribe came out in full force.
They surrounded the World Tree, still holding weapons in their hands, thinking they were being invaded by a foreign enemy.
Matthew explained a few words in a low voice, then took Vasnov up on the magic carpet.
Two figures stood on the deck of the Phoenix ship.
One is Qin Wuyue, whom Matthew had met before.
The other one is a sweet girl with long black hair, wearing Sioux-style clothing and big, round eyes.
"This is Vivian, my student."
"I'll let her take you to the moon. Just remember to stay on the deck and don't run around."
After Qin Wuyue said this, he disappeared on the deck.
Vivian smiled sweetly at Matthew:
"You can just find a spot on the deck and enjoy the view."
"We'll leave soon."
Said.
She walked back to the cabin alone.
Soon, the Phoenix Ship made a huge roar, and three consecutive layers of protective shields gradually rose up, and its external form turned into a soaring phoenix.
boom!
The phoenix rose from the ground and soared into the sky.
And in this process.
On the deck, it was like walking on flat ground, and Matthew could clearly feel the changes in gravity.
He realized that this was the magic ship's adaptive processing of the gravity field.
As long as you stand on the deck.
No matter what the posture is, the direction of the source of gravity is always under the feet, and there is no gravity at all elsewhere.
This feeling is amazing.
Obviously Matthew ascended to heaven at ninety degrees, but the world seems to have turned ninety degrees.
He was not affected in the slightest.
"This is the power of magic!"
Matthew sighed from the bottom of his heart.
The Phoenix Ship quickly left the surface and entered high altitude.
However, there were always only two figures on the deck, Matthew and Ava.
It seemed that Vivian had no intention of coming out before.
Matthew didn't mind this.
On the other hand, Ava said sarcastically:
"Are you usually so unpopular with girls?"
Matthew chuckled:
"I'm more popular with girls than you can imagine."
"Furthermore, if you were to find a random girl now and ask her to choose between the two of us, who do you think she would choose?"
Ava's tone was full of contempt:
"I actually thought of comparing my charm with a zombie."
"Necromancer... I can only say that I underestimated your shamelessness."
Matthew shrugged nonchalantly.
At this moment, the spacecraft rushed out of the atmosphere and came into the starry sky.
The surrounding background turned pitch black.
The darkness is dotted with stars.
If you get close enough, you will find that the so-called stars are false shadows.
This is because the Phoenix Ship has not yet left the scope of the main material world at this moment.
The starry sky of Irondor is not real.
It is a reflection of the astral world.
If you stand deep in the star realm and look at Irondor from a distance.
You will find that the material world is a quasi-spherical surface. Some parts of the sphere will be connected, but it is not perfectly closed.
And over a long period of time, the spherical surface will continue to expand itself, forming one wrinkle after another.
These folds are various sub-planes attached to the main material plane.
at the same time.
The Prime Material Realm itself will also see new lands appear due to continuous expansion.
This is the inevitable result of the self-expansion of the multiverse.
And in these naturally born folds.
The moon is the most special one - there were two.
The appearance of these two folds is very close to the main material realm. They are also spherical in shape and have the ability to expand slightly and slowly.
Therefore, as the sub-material realm, the moon can also have a certain impact on the main material realm.
For example, the spread of moonlight.
Another example is the rise and fall of tides caused by the gravity of the plane.
It even has something to do with the distribution of ether on the surface of the material world!
It is precisely because of various peculiarities.
If you want to land on the moon from the main material realm, you must map the starry sky between the main material realm and the secondary material realm through the star realm.
Even most fifth-level mages cannot do this.
The Phoenix Ship is different.
Matthew could feel that the Phoenix Ship opened up a dimensional passage when it crossed the starry sky.
This plane passage is quite stable.
On the surface, the Phoenix Ship's flight in the starry sky seems very free and romantic.
But from the moment the channel is formed.
Its course is already determined.
If the direction is changed indiscriminately, the Phoenix ship and the people on board are very likely to fall into the turbulence of the void!
When I thought about Qin Wuyue's absence, the boat was being driven by a little girl.
Matthew was a little nervous.
In order to alleviate this problem, he simply asked Vasnov about things on the moon.
Ava is also very happy.
It seems that Matthew has integrated into the role of the dog-headed strategist:
"As far as I know, there are three main forces on the moon, namely the moonlight goddess Asya, the god of hunting, and the blood moon domain."
"After the promotion of Tianlun Palace, the moon was actually Asiya's exclusive territory, but the blood moon seal loosened too quickly. Asiya felt the crisis. In order to deal with the infection in the blood moon field, she had to sell out part of it.
The domain and priesthood, and found the God of Hunting who had become a demigod as an ally."
"In the past hundreds of years, the two of them have worked together to resist the invasion of the Blood Moon. With the strength of the God of Hunting in the priesthood, they have done a good job."
"The infiltration of the blood moon field has been suppressed, and the recovery plan of the evil god's messenger has been thwarted several times by Asiya."
"However, good times never last long. The situation on the Blood Moon has changed as the ambition of the God of Hunting continues to expand - He monitors the seal day and night, and actually has a daring idea."
"The God of Hunting wants to devour the messenger of the evil god who is sealed in the Blood Moon Domain!"
"From a god's point of view, the God of Hunting is not just delusional. You must know that the original messenger of the evil god was divided and sealed separately by the Sioux people. What was left on the Blood Moon was only four limbs and a head. The real
His torso was sealed in the Eastern Continent.”
"If the God of Hunting devours this part of the body, his power will be greatly increased, and he may surpass the rules of the Scourge Mage and become the only "outlaw god" in Irondor!"
"But what is before him is that there are many layers of blood moon seals, not only left by the Emperor of Su, but also by the natural disaster mage. These seals also prevent the God of Hunting from planning."
"As far as I know, the God of Hunting has been working hard for half a century to solve this problem. He also approached me and wanted to work with me to develop the remains of the evil god's messenger, but I refused."
Hear this.
Matthew asked with great interest:
"Why refuse?"
Vasnov said proudly:
"If I want the remains of the evil god's messenger, then I am the only one who can eat them all!"
"Collaboration is not on my radar."
"What's more, I have no interest in the remains of the evil god's messenger at all..."
Matthew nodded:
"Then how did Queen Esper merge with the Blood Moon Domain?"
Ava pondered:
"I don't know exactly how it was done."
"But since the Blood Moon Spider has merged with the realm, it must have surpassed the seal of the natural disaster mage."
"And there is only one person in this world who can do that."
"You should know that, right?"
"The most mysterious and possibly most powerful divine mage in the Seven Saints Alliance - Wuming."
"He is the biological son of the natural disaster mage."
The unknown mage!
This was not the first time Matthew heard this name.
But soon he fell into doubt:
"Why would the unknown mage help the God of Hunting?"
Ava shrugged:
"How do I know this?"
"All I know is that he's a scary guy."
“Everyone in the world knows that Ekmund conquered Leviathan and called him the ‘Lord of the Behemoths’, but who knows that the real Lord of the Behemoths is actually someone else?”
Matthew was a little surprised:
"Did the unknown mage conquer Leviathan?"
Ava nodded and said:
"Ekmund just picked the fruit."
"The unknown mage is the more powerful existence."
The words of the second-generation God of War were full of praise, and Matthew became more curious about the mysterious unknown mage.
he asked:
"Which one is scarier, him or Isabel?"
Ava replied without hesitation:
"Of course it's Isabelle!"
"That woman is crazy!"
"As for Wuming, he is just a little paranoid, but for the most part, he is very kind."
"He is probably the kindest mage I have ever met in my life."
"He will sympathize with the exiles in Tianlun Palace, and he will also sympathize with the Necron wandering in the starry sky. He will even sympathize with demons, devils and evil spirits..."
"All in all, he is completely different from his mother, even the complete opposite."
"He is a...mage with a heart full of love."
Matthew did not expect that Vasnov's evaluation of the unknown mage would be like this.
He thought about it for a while.
There is really no way to establish a corresponding concept in my mind——
Under the preconceived stereotypes of many mages in the Seven Saints Alliance.
A "mage with a heart full of love" is really too abstract!
Vasnov added with emotion:
"As far as I know, because of his kindness, he seems to be easy to deceive, so many people have benefited a lot from him."
"Other magicians from the Seven Saints Alliance have also tried to persuade him, but he still goes his own way."
"Look, how good a mage like this is! If all the mages in the world were like Wuming, then there wouldn't be so many contradictions and disasters in Irondor!"
Matthew reminded:
"But according to your inference, he helped the God of Hunting's pet merge with the blood moon realm. This is not something a kind person would do."
Vasnov chuckled and said:
"How do you know Queen Esper's fusion of the Blood Moon Realm is a purely bad thing?"
"Perhaps from the perspective of the unknown master, he sees the benefits to all mankind behind this move?"
Matthew sneered.
What this guy said does have some credibility.
But of course he would not listen to Vasnov's words.
"So to what extent is Queen Esper currently integrated?"
Matthew asked again.
Vasnov replied:
"That spider probably ate the arm and thigh of the evil god's messenger, but it hasn't found his brain yet."
"But it's probably going to be soon..."
"Let me tell you, the God of Hunting feels that he is using the Blood Moon Spider as an experimental subject, and the messenger of the evil god can only watch his body being eaten - but maybe this is also the latter's plan!"
"The ability of the evil god from another world is difficult to guard against. In my opinion, the probability of the evil god's messenger resurrecting in the body of the Blood Moon Spider is much higher than the probability of the God of Hunting successfully seizing the Blood Moon Spider Fruit and being promoted to the God of Outlaws!"
"Actually, he himself is not aware of this, but greed and ambition are always the most powerful weapons to destroy a god!"
Listening to Vasnov's critical comments.
Matthew couldn't help but ask:
"If it were you, how would you deal with things on the moon?"
Vasnov said without hesitation:
"I will blow up the moon with one punch!"
Matthew was full of disbelief:
"So you don't give face to your colleagues in Tianlun Palace?"
Vasnov sneered:
"What kind of face? I am the God of War!"
"Other people are none of my business!"
"I wish I was the only god in this world!"
"The only God!"
When he said these words, he was full of energy and high morale.
Although it's just living in the body of a zombie.
Matthew could also feel the wanton and flying temperament coming towards him.
But the next second.
Suddenly there were footsteps on the deck.
Vivian walked out of the cabin.
She still had an impeccable sweet smile on her face:
"The Phoenix Ship is about to dock."
"get ready……"
"Well, your zombie doesn't seem very smart. You'd better deal with it. After all, Ms. Qin Wuyue has a slight mysophobia..."
As she said this, she pointed to Matthew with some disgust.
Matthew looked over.
But he saw that the God of War, who just moments ago was threatening to blow up the moon with one punch, now had a look of dementia on his face.
Drool was still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
There is almost a puddle on the deck!
"I know, I'll take care of it!"
Matthew wanted to dig a crack and stuff Vasnov in!
He quickly used Stainless Steel to clean the traces on the deck.
Vivian said "hmm", then showed a sweet smile and walked quickly back to the cabin.
Until her back completely disappeared.
Ava just returned to normal.
"Don't blame me, I'm just an ordinary zombie now."
"Zombies all drool like this, right?"
Ava spoke first.
Matthew couldn't help but roll his eyes at him:
"You can drool."
"But not so many!"
"How can a normal zombie have so much water!"
Ava nodded thoughtfully.
While the two were talking.
A huge roar came from underneath the Phoenix ship again.
As the ship landed, layers of protective shields were opened one after another.
The first thing that catches the eye is the huge craters.
Above the crater is a deep starry sky.
And it's not far away from the Phoenix Ship.
Matthew saw a magnificent building complex. Among the buildings was a moon-white palace. The stone pillars rising into the sky in front of the palace were carved with the emblem that Matthew had seen in the Moonwood.
Obviously.
That is the palace of Asya, the goddess of moonlight.
And much closer.
Matthew found some makeshift campsites.
The most eye-catching thing in the temporary camp is undoubtedly the prototype of a mage tower.
Matthew also saw the back of 177 near the mage tower!
No need for Vivian to remind you.
Matthew immediately took Ava off the boat.
The two of them soon arrived at the mage tower.
177 is leaning against the mage tower and seems to be taking a nap.
This was in sharp contrast to the naked but busy figure next to him.
Matthew instinctively wanted to reach out and say hello, but quickly stopped.
Because he found that Ronan was doing his own thing wholeheartedly.
Matthew didn't want to disturb the other party.
He watched for a while.
The more you look at the results, the more surprised you become!
Later.
Matthew even couldn't help but rub his eyes a few times!
"I am not wrong, right!?"
"Ronan is actually... beating the mage tower with his bare hands!?"
Watching Ronan's hands moving back and forth between the moon soil and the construction site.
The prototype of the mage tower was perfected as fast as a rocket taking off.
Just a few minutes.
The mage tower has grown one floor taller.
Not only that.
In the process, Matthew also saw Ronan carve countless magic inscriptions on the newly added layer!
All this is done with bare hands!
Matthew didn't even feel the magic wave!
"Is this the strength of the Southern Guardian!"
Matthew felt a little shocked.
Another ten minutes passed.
Ronan successfully completed the capping of the mage tower.
Then he turned around with a smile - he had obviously noticed Matthew's arrival, and just wanted to complete the project in one go.
"Are you here, Matthew?"
"I just built a base for the alliance on the moon. Come on, let's go in and take a look."
As he spoke, he kicked 177 in the air.
The latter suddenly woke up from his sleep:
"My blue whale queen!"
"Where's my Blue Whale Queen?"
Ronan couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead:
"So terrestrial creatures can no longer meet your needs?"
"I've set up the framework, you go and test the magic network."
177 stood up and made an OK gesture, then winked at Matthew for a while.
After a while.
The interior of the first floor of the Mage Tower.
In a bleak environment.
Matthew saw an eight-sided prism
Pictures are reflected in the prism, each of which corresponds to the shadow of different characters.
The one that impressed Matthew the most was a monster.
Its main body looks like a ball.
The surface of the ball is covered with various tentacles.
And each tentacle holds a sword in its hand!
"What is this?"
Matthew couldn't help but asked curiously.
""Beholder Sword Master"."
Ronan explained:
"Don't worry, you can look closer, he is blind."
"This guy is also an alternative. According to the beholder's physical structure, blindness means that he does not have any magic. According to common sense, he should have died during the growth process, but instead of dying, he has grown into a very special existence."
"It is said that he has practiced drawing swords ten thousand times a day since he was a child. I mean he practiced drawing each tentacle ten thousand times individually - the beholder is really a creature with extraordinary talents!"
"In addition, he is proficient in almost all swordsmanship in the world. In addition, he has a thousand tentacles and a thousand swords, which is enough to create fire suppression."
"So even among all the sword masters, he may be the most powerful one!"
"What's even more disgusting is that this guy is very resistant to magic, and most legendary mages are restrained by him."
"If you meet this guy's descendant, be careful."
"But I don't think a monster like this among monsters will have any descendants."
Ronan introduced with a smile.
Then he led Matthew to several other prisms and explained to them several important figures currently on the moon.
After the introduction is completed.
Ronan gets right to the point:
"The moon issue is still being debated. If I were to negotiate, it would be difficult to achieve practical results."
"The same would be true for other people among the Seven Saints."
"To show our sincerity, we decided to select one person from the Silver Council to be responsible for this tripartite negotiation - the teacher and I unanimously decided that that person is you!"
Matthew said in astonishment:
"But I'm not a member of the Silver Council yet?"
Ronan smiled:
"That's it from today on."
"How about it?"
"Do you have the confidence to peel off a few layers of skin from those gods?"
Without waiting for Matthew to answer.
Ronan suddenly looked sharply:
"Wait a minute, you zombie...there's something wrong..."
