"I didn't expect anyone would still remember me. I was the Dragon of the Dead back then..."
Ariana's tone was a little emotional.
Matthew also recalled at this moment that Ariana, the Dragon of the Dead, was a very special deity.
He is the only true god in Tianlun Palace who has escaped the punishment of the Natural Disaster Mage. He has been resorting to feigning death for many years to avoid the latter's banishment law under the material definition.
"So it seems that the demiplane of the Dragon of the Dead is called Dragonspine Plains?"
Matthew wrote it down secretly.
In addition to being the only survivor of Tianlun Palace, another special feature of Ariana is that she is the spiritual totem of the Dragon Worship Cult.
Speaking of Dragon Worship.
Matthew now knows that this is a black glove by the league's top executives - at least Isabel and Ekmond are definitely involved.
But this is a real gray or even black area.
It certainly can't be talked about openly.
But no matter what.
Ariana, who was given the title of spiritual totem, was actually the one who took the blame for the Dragon Cult’s evil deeds.
He was deeply disgusted by this.
At first Matthew thought that He did not resist simply because He could not interfere with the material world.
But now it seems.
The reason why Ariana didn’t resist was probably because she had figured out the true origins of the Dragon Worship Cult!
It is possible that he has formed a tacit understanding with the alliance to a certain extent and even exists in contact.
But still the same sentence.
This is not a topic that Matthew can interfere with.
So facing the enthusiastic Ariana, Matthew just said coldly:
"I believe you have a deal with Blinken."
"But you can't do anything for Lady Isabel!"
The last sentence.
Matthew's tone was decisive, leaving no trace of sympathy for the Dragon of the Dead.
The Naga possessed by Ariana looked very ugly.
Sen'er next to him cast some playful glances, and Matthew guessed that he also knew part of the inside story.
But as long as there is no evidence.
So the so-called inside story is nothing more than catching wind of the situation.
in this regard.
Matthew's sensitivity is still very high.
But he didn't believe the Naga in front of him at all, even if he was really the Dragon of the Dead!
"you're right."
"I only contacted Blinken unilaterally, and Blinken betrayed our alliance. Strictly speaking, there is indeed no cooperative relationship between us."
Ariana was silent for a while and said this.
I can tell.
He was trying his best to control his emotions.
Matthew saw all this in his eyes and became even more defensive in his heart - for a former god and a serious dracolich, there was really no need for Ariana to be so humble to him.
He can do this.
Explain that the picture is very large.
Matthew didn't dare to let down his guard.
Seeing Matthew looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Sener suddenly laughed:
"Did I influence the two of you to speak freely?"
"I can avoid it."
Matthew shook his head:
"You don't need to avoid it. There is nothing shady about the discussion between Him and me."
In fact.
Matthew knew that Sener's avoidance meant nothing.
The legendary rogue's eavesdropping ability is very terrifying. Since the other party has already intervened in this matter, even if he avoids it on the surface, as long as he wants to understand, he can probably figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Instead of this.
It's better to just let him listen and enjoy it.
certainly.
If Ariana had a brain and really wanted to do something, Matthew believed that she wouldn't talk nonsense.
to this end.
He reminded me tactfully:
"This is Mr. Sener, the notorious Scarlet Letter Hunter, and a wanted criminal in the alliance. For some special reasons, I have not arrested him yet. He and I are in a state of non-hostility for a long time. You
If you have anything to say, you can say it directly to his face."
A look of confusion appeared on Ariana's face.
Perhaps the word "not in a state of long-term hostility" confused him.
He thought about it for a long time and never came back to it.
But the rankings of "Senr" and "Scarlet Letter Hunter" are still very resounding.
Ariana said to Sener cautiously:
"I have heard of your name."
"Even in Tianlun Palace or the outer plane, your legend is unknown to everyone and everyone knows it."
This is obviously not a simple compliment.
Of course the gods look down on mortals, but for the best among mortals, their level of attention and understanding will skyrocket.
There is an existence like Sener.
Ordinary people may only know his name.
On the contrary, the higher the level, the more aware he is of his power.
The reaction of the Dragon of the Dead also allowed Matthew to confirm his thoughts from the side——
Sen'er most likely possesses the power of a high-ranking legend!
Even the true God is very afraid of him!
Sener just smiled lightly:
"I hope what you said is correct."
"When I first started, my teacher told me that if a wanderer's reputation reaches the point where everyone knows it, then he is not far from death."
"If it really reaches the level you said, maybe I should keep a low profile and retire."
Ariana took a deep look at Sener.
Matthew spoke at this time:
"So why did you lurk in the Dark Primarch Holy Cult?"
His tone was calm and his expression was calm, as if he really didn't mind that Ser was listening.
However, just when Ariana was about to speak, Matthew suddenly pointed to the side:
"It's coming back to life!"
Sen'er shrugged. He knew the place where Queen Naga would be resurrected and went there in advance.
Along with this action.
His ears stood up high.
A thoughtful look flashed in Ariana's eyes.
He suddenly spoke quickly:
"Bruch is one of the few dusk creatures sealed in the main material world. Many people are deeply interested in him, and Blinken is one of them.
When he was developing the Dragon Worship Cult on the Gold Coast, he came into contact with Nagas from both factions.
He soon lost interest in those Naga spawns with weak bloodline.
He wanted to know more about the Primarch Naga and even Bruch himself.
But due to the unique culture and beliefs of Naga.
It is difficult for Blinken to penetrate the Holy Cult of the Dark Primarch.
It happened to be at this time.
Because of some well-known reasons and demands.
I've been in contact with Blinken.
As the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult.
Blinken is incredibly devoted to my faith.
I admire this young man very much.
So I decided to help him.
After a brief discussion, we adopted a secret ritual to seize the body of a Primarch Naga without telling Bruch.
This is not difficult for us.
Bruchi has been in a deep sleep all year round, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the original Naga.
So I successfully became a member of the Dark Primarch Holy Cult..."
What Ariana said was very interesting and nonsense.
How can any God allow his own believers to work undercover?
Matthew tried to translate it mentally.
The so-called "well-known reasons and demands" probably refer to "the changes in the laws brought about by odd-numbered celestial changes and the opportunities for the return of the gods."
Matthew has learned.
Odd weather events will cause the permanent barrier to gradually fail.
The laws set by the natural disaster mage will also lose their original restrictive power in this round of impact.
Otherwise, the gods of Tianlun Palace would not be so attracted to the flames.
As a god.
They are the group of people who have the deepest understanding of God's laws of prohibition and banishment.
They must have noticed the changes in the world before the mages.
Facts have indeed confirmed their thoughts.
In the "Blood Moon Strike" incident not long ago, the true form of the Moonlight Goddess Asiya briefly stayed in the Realm of Main Objects, during which she was not restrained by the laws of divine prohibition.
All this shows that the rules set by the Scourge Mage are gradually disintegrating.
The world is about to usher in new changes.
The gods are looking forward to returning to the earth to grab nutrients, and the evil things in the outer planes are eyeing the main material world.
The same goes for Ariana, who is stuck in the demiplane attached to the Prime Material Plane due to the Scourge Mage bug.
He may even be the first true god to slip into the main material world!
But Ariana is clearly a smart person.
The alliance could turn a blind eye to him before, but now if he comes directly, he will definitely be closely guarded.
on the other hand.
He is an alternative in the Tianlun Palace, and he is at odds with most of the gods; he believes in his own Dragon Worshipers or is someone else's black glove.
This made Ariana very embarrassed.
He clearly had the opportunity to ascend to God again, but he could only carefully cover his whereabouts.
He obviously knows something about the Alliance.
Matthew guessed that before contacting Blinken, he probably contacted Isabel or someone else among the Seven Saints.
But at that time, the league's senior leadership was still full of uncertainties.
There may not be a clear plan on how to deal with the Seven Saints of Gods.
Therefore, Arena was most likely rejected.
after that.
He probably wants to take a roundabout route——
Since the alliance is doing bad things in its own name and refuses to join, it might as well hook up with the leader of the Black Gloves.
Maybe we can find an opportunity to establish friendship with the Seven Saints Alliance.
This is the real reason why he and Blinken hooked up!
"Originally, all plans were discussed between Blinken and I, but last summer, Blinken suddenly disappeared. I had no way to get in touch with him, so I had to bite the bullet and continue to lurk."
"Unexpectedly, I lurked and lurked and became the general of the Naga Kingdom. That highly myopic guy Bruchy didn't really notice the problem with me. He even rewarded me with a sea monster as a mount...
hehe……"
"But at this point, my situation is already very dangerous. Sooner or later, I will have to face Bruchy's gaze completely undefended."
"In order to avoid this, I even gave that bitch the huge credit for the discovery of the Sea Gate."
"I pretended to be an infatuated chaser to lower the vigilance of that bitch and Bruchy."
"But this still treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. I have to do something before I'm discovered, otherwise all my hard work will be in vain."
Ariana sighed:
"I didn't know what Blinken wanted, but I had a rough idea of what would be useful to him ... or the people behind him, so I crafted a plan."
When it comes to this.
Sen Er appeared beside the two of them quietly.
Matthew gave him a questioning look.
The latter shook his head helplessly, indicating that he hadn't stolen it yet.
Matthew looked at Ariana again.
Unexpectedly, the latter did not speak this time, but directly handed a piece of paper made of seaweed to Matthew.
Matthew took the paper, glanced at it, and closed it.
Sen Er twitched his eyebrows and seemed a little dissatisfied:
"You see so quickly?"
Matthew looked at the information on the data column and smiled:
"I have a photographic memory."
This piece of paper mentions part of Ariana's plan -
He sensed that Brooke planned to come to the world at a certain point in time when odd celestial changes would cause chaos.
What hinders His coming is the seals of the gods.
This seal is of course not unbreakable. In fact, the advent of odd celestial changes will cause many ancient seals to loosen.
If we can successfully find the Sea Gate that holds the seal.
Then the twin snakes of destruction will have complete control over when they will come.
Think of this.
A bold idea came to Ariana's mind.
He plans to unlock the seal in the Sea Gate for Bruchy in advance!
But it was only half untied.
He plans to use various actions to trick Bruqi into descending part of his true body into the Arun Inland Sea in advance!
And wait until the eve of this scene.
Ariana notified the Seven Saints Alliance, and the two sides cooperated internally and externally to directly capture the part of Bruchy's true body!
The paper clearly stated——
"For the Creation of Dusk, the body is very important and is the most precious thing in the world. Once he loses part of his true body, Bruch will lose his status as a Creation of Dusk, and he will be replaced by the original camp.
Abandoned and turned into a pitiful character that is bullied by others."
"In ancient times, the reason why the gods chose to seal the Creation of Dusk was due to the harsh environment and lack of power at that time. After the arrival of the Scourge Mage, the power of the entire Iron Dor world actually expanded dramatically."
"In the dark ages, as long as you can ignite the divine fire, you can go sideways."
"In the Age of Enlightenment, powerful divine power meant being close to omnipotence."
"The arrival of the natural disaster mage has pushed the power ceiling of Irondor to a new 'natural disaster level'."
"Although the alliance's divine mages have not reached the level of natural disasters, they are already much stronger than the ancient gods."
"Even if all the gods are at the same level of strong divine power, the current strong divine power is hundreds of times stronger than the previous strong divine power!"
"This is also one of the subtle impacts of odd weather changes."
"So under this plan, we have the ability to destroy part of Brutsch's body."
"Of course our appeal is definitely not here. The twin snakes of destruction have been entrenched deep in the trench for a long time and have embezzled countless wealth and treasures."
"He also holds a portal to the abyss and a shortcut to the East Road."
"This must be a dream for the Seven Saints Alliance."
"As long as this part of the body exists, they will have the capital to threaten Brutsch or bargain with him."
"This merit should be enough for me to get a place to live. Of course, I will not be greedy. Even if they let me choose freely, I will only choose the Arunai Sea or a place farther south..."
This is probably Ariana's plan.
Just handed it over to Matthew.
It can be regarded as showing some sincerity on his part.
"The premise is that He did not predict my arrival in advance."
Matthew glanced at Ariana.
The latter resides in the body of a male naga, and its face is replaced by the image of a beautiful woman, giving people a strong sense of violation.
His expression was full of depression.
It is estimated that Matthew's arrival really seriously ruined His plan.
Matthew composed himself.
There are no particularly serious omissions in Arena's statement in the letter.
What makes people feel suspicious is probably His own initiative.
Another way to say "leading the snake out of its hole" is to "be the guide for the creation of dusk".
Who knows if He will really inform the Seven Saints Alliance in advance?
Put aside this somewhat fanciful main content.
Matthew also noticed two interesting points -
First, Ariana repeatedly mentioned in the plan the importance of the bodies of the dusk creations to them.
This reminded Matthew of the two divinities in his hands.
They both come from Creation of Dusk, and the difference is that one of the carriers of the two is a transformed small alarm clock, and the other is Galan's tentacles.
No wonder Gai Lan hated himself so much!
The side also reflects that the crazy second hand still has a certain status in Isabel's heart.
certainly.
This also has something to do with Brother Miaozhen's own good attitude.
Second, Ariana mentioned the abyss portal controlled by Bruchy and the channel to the Eastern Continent.
In Ariana's eyes.
This is extremely important to the alliance.
Matthew couldn't help but think of the Far East that Yu Lian had longed for.
"If the Eastern Continent is really so valuable to the Alliance, why not go to the Far East?"
"Or is the abyss portal the value of Bruchi?"
Ma Xiu's thoughts were wandering.
Ariana's voice already sounded in his heart:
"If you kill Queen Naga, my risk of exposure will be higher."
"Instead of passively welcoming Bruch's wrath, I might as well use the excuse of Queen Naga being attacked and killed to go directly to the Sea Gate to open the seal of the two world-destroying snakes."
"I believe I can convince Bruchy to descend into a part of his true body. You just need to go back and let them prepare."
Matthew frowned:
"no."
Ariana said displeased:
"why not?"
Matthew said calmly:
"I have said that this is a matter between Blinken and you, and it is only your one-sided statement. I cannot completely trust you."
"If you insist on having your own way, then you are an enemy of the Alliance."
"Remember, and I say it one last time, the alliance has nothing to do with you or Blinken!"
Ariana's face turned even darker.
He seemed on the verge of breaking out.
But Matthew’s next words gave him a glimmer of hope:
"The Alliance has no interest in your plan, but I heard that the Lord of Kordo City, Yu Lian, is a warm-hearted guy. You might as well try to find him, maybe he can help you."
Ariana looked at him deeply:
"really?"
Matthew handed the plan back to the other party:
"It's just hearsay. It always takes a while to do things."
Ariana's face looked uncertain, as if she was thinking about something.
Matthew looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was also ready to fight.
This matter is very complicated, involving the old bad debts of the Dragon Worship Cult and the delicate relationship between the Alliance and the gods.
If it was before.
Matthew would definitely reject the other party without hesitation.
But there is Asiya's example before.
He would at least report it to the superiors.
Not only did it need to be reported to Isabel, but Chen, Ronan and his wife also heard about it——
This mission was given to him by Chen. If it was really profitable, it would be impossible for Matthew to remain silent to him;
The same goes for Ronan and his wife.
Originally, Arunaihai Matthew was not planning to eat alone when developing it.
Next, it would be best to tie up a few legends when dealing with Bruchy.
By the way, you can repay them for taking care of you.
This is a win-win situation.
But the premise is that this thing can really happen.
Matthew knew very well that he could not make a judgment in this regard, so he could only ask Ariana to wait.
"I see."
"I will wait patiently..."
Ariana said gloomily.
Matthew was a little surprised by the other party's determination, but after thinking about it, people have been in suspended animation for hundreds of years, so they probably don't lack patience.
"But your identity..."
Matthew reminded.
Ariana expressionlessly handed a scroll into Matthew's hand:
"Try this."
Matthew looked down.
"Scroll of Astral Exile (Master Level)".
"Isn't this safe? Bruchy may still have doubts about you."
Matthew weighed the scroll.
Ice cold.
It feels good in hand.
"I have to think of a way. I have spent more than a year working on it, and I can't just give up."
Ariana was also helpless.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to explain, I'll send you off?"
Matthew unwrapped the scroll.
Ariana nodded.
The next second.
Matthew activated the power of the scroll, and a star gate was instantly formed.
A black halo appeared under Ariana's feet.
Seeing that the attraction from the star world was about to take Him away.
Can be done in an instant.
The black halo and the star gate disappeared without a trace.
A look of surprise appeared on Ariana's face.
Matthew shrugged:
"Exempted."
"Your resistance is too high..."
Ariana rolled her eyes a few times, seemingly in disbelief.
However, He was not ambiguous, and took out three scrolls in one breath, handed them to Matthew, and reminded:
"After I leave, the secret barrier can last for up to 10 minutes. By then Bruch will be aware of Xina's death, and the Naga warriors in the city will immediately move closer to the palace. I hope you can be prepared."
Matthew was slightly surprised.
But soon he saw Ariana's resentful eyes and understood that he was worried that he would "evaporate" like Blinken.
If Matthew hangs here.
It was like saying that the alliance line he had finally re-established was broken again.
This may be a collapse for the Dragon of the Dead.
"Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."
With a slightly apologetic look, Matthew untied the second scroll, but this time the scroll was just halfway unzipped when the previously missing black halo and star gate reappeared, directly knocking Ariana, who was a little stunned.
Drag him out!
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
Matthew closed the second scroll expressionlessly and sealed it.
Behind him came Sen'er's tut:
"So good at budgeting?"
"You are a good thief."
Matthew coughed twice:
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Sen'er looked at the scroll in Matthew's hand jokingly and said nothing more.
Matthew frowned and asked:
"Not yet?"
Sen'er also showed a trace of doubt:
"It's really unreasonable, unless the dagger is not on her at all!"
As he spoke, he complained:
"I told you to observe first before taking action!"
"It's fine now. I can't find the Poisonous Fang and wasted an excellent opportunity."
Matthew frowned and stared at the increasingly weakening field of flesh and blood in front of him.
He could feel the sharp decline of this power.
Queen Naga doesn't have much chance of resurrection.
It would indeed be a bit troublesome to wait until she is dead to find the Poison Fang.
"Is it possible that your stealing posture was wrong?"
Just at this time.
Peggy, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly intervened:
"How about you let me try?"
A contemptuous smile appeared on Sen Er's face.
But soon he said lightly:
"Please."
So the next time the Naga Queen is resurrected.
What appeared behind her was a tall minotaur skeleton!
But Peggy's strong white claws tightly held the Naga Queen.
The next second.
She shouted:
"Give me your stuff!"
Queen Naga trembled when she heard this, and unexpectedly said:
"good……"
next moment.
Peggy tore off her natural armor and decorative scales without grace.
In Xina's screams.
The minotaur skeleton raised and lowered its hands frantically.
"Time is up!"
Matthew reminded.
Paige immediately stepped aside.
The Vajra Fist fell again.
Queen Naga welcomed the arrival of death in despair and numbness.
Sen Er narrowed his eyes and teased:
"Did you steal it?"
A little green light lit up in Peggy's hand:
"Is this it?"
Sener looked surprised:
"How can it be!"
"You can't be better at stealing than me!"
Paige shrugged:
"I didn't steal anything. What you heard was given to me voluntarily by her."
Sen'er's nose twitched slightly and his eyes were slightly out of focus:
"Coercion?"
"plunder?"
"Why do the reincarnations of the Sun God Battle Angel have these elements?"
He looked at Peggy with surprise:
"And there is an aura about you that feels very familiar to me..."
Peggy chuckled and said:
"Middle-aged people no longer use this method to strike up conversations."
"Matthew, your friend's words are too cliché..."
But at this moment.
Sener suddenly burst into flames and rushed towards Peggy.
Peggy was caught off guard and subconsciously waved the dagger to stop Sener.
But at this time, Sen'er's face showed a cunning look:
"You attacked me first!"
The next second.
His hand cut towards Peggy's wrist at an extremely fast speed.
I don't know why.
The green light in Peggy's hand unexpectedly broke away automatically, and in an instant, Sener was holding it in his hand!
Whoosh.
Sener distanced himself.
He played with the green dagger in his hand intoxicatedly.
This scene fell in Peggy's eyes.
Anxiously, she shouted:
"Matthew, he took my knife!"
Sener smiled and nodded gently:
"Yes, this is the Venomous Fang."
"I'm still curious about why you can get what you want in one go. This is not theft or coercion, but directed retrieval."
"But none of this is important right now. What's important is that we completed the task and worked together, right?"
He smiled at Matthew.
Incidentally, the word "work together" is emphasized.
"Of course we are working together."
Seeing that Sen Er looked convinced of himself, Matthew also smiled calmly.
The next second.
A rusty dagger suddenly appeared in his hand:
"Lend it to me for fun!"
Whoosh!
Matthew's eyes flashed green.
The Venomous Fang fell into his hands smoothly!
Sen'er looked at the dagger in his hand very warily, and then smiled with relief:
"You actually have such an ability? You and your summons are both extraordinary."
"But young people still can't calm down."
"This exposes one's trump card..."
The smile on Matthew’s face remained unchanged:
"You don't really think this is my trump card, do you?"
"If this is the case, then I have too many trump cards..."
Sener's face gradually became serious.
Matthew said calmly:
"I will personally hand over this dagger to Fan Zijue."
"Of course I will try my best to maintain our friendship in front of him. You don't have to worry about this."
"If there is nothing else to do next, we should go our separate ways..."
Before Sener could speak.
Queen Naga suddenly came back to life, and she yelled angrily with all her strength:
"Ser!"
"You will not die well!"
Sener turned around with a look of astonishment on his face.
The Vajra fist fell without hesitation.
Kill the Naga Queen for the last time!
