Countless potholes are scattered across the surface of the earth.
The sky is grey-brown.
The same goes for the horizon.
A huge full moon hangs between heaven and earth.
It dances like the soul fire of the undead.
Silence is the eternal theme here.
Even the wind is silent——
The endless whirlwind comes from an unknown place and blows to the next unknown place.
The undead creatures swept by the whirlwind either choked and fell, or they glowed with life.
Disappearance and transformation tell different stories in the same whirlwind of negative energy.
Matthew walked alone in this quiet land.
It is different from the lively and slightly noisy experience in the oak field.
Everything here is so quiet.
It feels so much like belonging here——
die.
A skeleton walked towards him.
Almost no bones in its body are intact, and the soul fire is pitifully weak. It seems that as long as a gust of wind blows, this newly born skeleton soldier will lose the last chance of "life".
Yet it is tenacious.
Matthew saw with his own eyes that it was blown into a deep pit by the negative energy whirlwind.
According to his guess, this skeleton will definitely fall into pieces.
This is also true.
Matthew saw it staying in the pothole for a long, long time.
It took so long that Matthew began to doubt whether time in the field had any meaning.
And at a certain moment.
He saw it crawling out of the hole again.
The unethical whirlwind just now destroyed its remaining thigh bone.
But it was only slightly repaired, and then it struggled to get up on the ground.
Matthew noticed.
The soul fire in its eyes burned even brighter.
"It turns out that undead creatures also have such a strong will to survive."
Matthew moved slightly.
This skeleton obviously doesn't have much intelligence, it doesn't even know where it should go.
But from the moment it ignited the soul fire, it had the instinct to survive.
Maybe the next moment, it will be completely blown out by another whirlwind.
But until then.
It will still go forward, forward.
Go to that unknown place.
Go there...where the fire of life may bloom.
After stopping for a moment.
Matthew moved on.
Along the way.
He passed by all kinds of undead creatures: zombies, ghosts, banshees, vampires, ghouls, headless horsemen, death knights, Darth Vaders, abominations, tomb guards, mummies...
Some of them are strong and some are weak.
But all of them are heading towards unknown places.
it's here.
No undead knows what lies ahead.
Few people can clearly explain the meaning of moving forward.
But moving forward is the only theme.
"Death is eternal silence, and the immortals are existences that persist in eternal silence. They may not be called real creatures, but like living creatures, they are also tirelessly fighting against death.
They are destined to be unable to escape the fence of death, but they can no longer be simply regarded as its appendages.
This is the "immortal"."
Matthew came to the end of the horizon with such emotion.
He stood in front of the everlasting full moon.
There is wind blowing from top to bottom.
"So the negative energy wind blows down from the moon?"
He looked curiously at the celestial bodies that were so close yet so far away.
The next second.
The scene in front of me collapsed like a broken mirror!
The perspective shakes slightly.
Matthew's consciousness returned to his living room.
…
"Based on the accumulation of summoning undead creatures many times and the exploration of the negative energy plane, you have successfully entered the sub-field of death "the undead"!
As a reward for getting involved in the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities -
…
1. Immortal body (your body can be transformed into a body similar to that of an undead creature in an instant. During this period, you will obtain the immune characteristics and other characteristics of the undead creature; in the "immortal body" state, you will have the opportunity to obtain
More understanding of the "undead" realm; duration 60 seconds, once per day)
2. Negative energy control (you will have the opportunity to control negative energy. After choosing this ability, you will have the opportunity to obtain some negative energy spells)
3. New summons (you will get a random undead summon with a grade of no less than level 3)"
…
A bit of a tough choice.
Matthew frowned slightly.
Different from the Oak Domain and the Temperance Domain, he wanted all three abilities granted by the Immortal Domain!
Needless to say, "Immortality" is a life-saving magical skill and also has the opportunity to improve the exploration progress in the realm of the undead.
"Negative Energy Control" is the ability that the Necromancer dreams of.
Mastering this ability can achieve twice the result with half the effort when casting spells related to negative energy.
After all, the two special skills of the Necromancer are: summoning undead creatures and negative energy spells.
As for the third item, "New Summons", the temptation is somewhat weaker.
Matthew doesn't actually lack a younger brother now, but if he opens a headless horseman, the Black Knight will be perfect, which can make up for his lack of a strong younger brother in melee combat.
Although Paige is also very fierce, Matthew is not willing to use her to death after all.
Hesitated again and again.
Matthew gritted his teeth and chose "immortality".
This is also out of consideration for the unity of knowledge and action.
He is not willing to miss any life-saving magical skills, not to mention that this ability can also increase the exploration progress of the undead realm, maybe it will create a virtuous cycle?
…
"You have completed the enlightenment in the realm of the "immortal", and your current status is: first entry.
…
You gain the permanent status "Undead Army".
Undead Army: Your summon limit is increased to 10 times the current limit!
…
You gain the temporary status "Pale Hands".
Pale Hand: If left unchecked, your right hand will continue to be filled with and emit negative energy. When it comes into contact with any living creature, it will be judged to be dead!
Duration: 30 days
…
"Both of these are in good condition!"
Matthew was quite satisfied.
The undead army means that the upper limit of the number of single summons he can now increase to 120.
This is a huge gap from ordinary necromancers.
And "Pale Hand" is equally powerful.
It can infuse undead creatures with negative energy, making them full of vitality, and can also deliver a fatal blow to the enemy in fierce battles.
Although the probability of immediate death is very low.
But what if it succeeds once?
All Matthew paid was the opportunity cost of trying.
And the enemy may lose his life at any time!
This is the power of the field.
Matthew noticed.
At this time, the Tai Chi symbol becomes balanced again.
The green dot on the right is slightly ahead, but not by much.
What's even more interesting is.
There is a small brown comma directly below the Tai Chi symbol.
Its size is only 1/10 of the size of the comma above. There are also light spots in the small comma, but the number is very rare.
Matthew knew it represented "temperance."
Now he has set foot in three areas: Oak, Temperance and Undead.
Although he is just entering the state, as time accumulates, he will gain a higher level of domain mastery.
"The most common requirement for a legend is to master one field. A legend who dabbles in three fields at the same time is already an elite. But I have already dabbled in three fields in advance at the second level."
Matthew has realized.
The greatest convenience the system provides to you is the stepping stone to the fields represented by immortality and nature.
When the field is abundant.
He just needs to slowly plant trees, accumulate levels and spells, and he will skyrocket in the future.
…
…
Two more days passed.
Before we knew it, it was the end of March.
Rolling Stone Town ushered in the second festival of spring - the Spring Festival.
In the past few days, with the assistance of Silver Moon Zombies, Matthew's tree planting efficiency has been greatly improved.
Before the Spring Festival.
He finally strengthened A Bing to level 14!
It is only one level away from the highest-level summon that Matthew has on hand, Xiao Fei.
In addition to the rapid advancement in level.
Ah Bing also has a series of abilities such as "Clone Technique", "Ruthless Continuous Slash", "Escape Technique", "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" and "Plucking Onions on Dry Land".
Although the quality of these keywords is only blue and white, it also greatly enriches A Bing's combat methods.
The current knife dancer.
It seems to have the appearance of a nightmare for mid- to low-level adventurers.
certainly.
The gray keywords that are indispensable in all previous enhancements also allowed Matthew to encounter two this time.
…
"Alcoholic (Gray): Your skeleton is addicted to alcohol. Every 72 hours, it needs to drink at least one bottle of ale to relieve its restless state.
…
Cross-dressing (grey): Your skeleton has awakened the consciousness of dressing up. It desires to wear some bright clothes or skirts. If it can be dressed up like a beautiful woman, it will feel very happy."
…
To be honest, Matthew was confused when he saw these two keywords for the first time.
Are skeletons addicted to alcohol?
How to drink it?
Drinks and drinks must not leak out once they enter your mouth?
As for the cross-dressing fetish, it is easier to satisfy it.
A Bing's night cloak is getting better and better now. Even if Matthew finds some beautiful little skirts for him to wear, it will not affect its concealment effect.
What dissatisfied Matthew the most is that whether it’s women’s clothing or drinking, you have to spend money!
In order to save costs.
Matthew bought some of the cheapest ale, and Bing drank it without hesitation. Just as Matthew expected, the ale went into Bing's throat and immediately spilled all over the floor.
But Matthew also noticed.
During this process, some of the alcohol seemed to be absorbed by A Bing's soul fire.
This sign is actually quite interesting.
It seriously violates the rules of the undead.
And those who can break through the rules must not be ordinary people. In this regard, A Bing has already shown a tendency to be on par with Peggy.
This is one of the few things that makes Matthew feel gratified.
As for women's clothing.
Matthew went to the second-hand store in the town and bought two pieces. They were both tattered old lady models. But A Bing was actually quite content in wearing them. It just hurt Matthew's eyes because they were a bit too spicy.
These small flaws can be put aside.
A Bing's strength has improved steadily.
On the day of Spring Festival.
Matthew then came to the outside of the lord's mansion with only A Bing and his younger brother.
At this time, the sky was dark and bright.
The Spring Festival celebrations have begun.
Along the way, Matthew could hear the joyful sound of gongs and drums from the "Spring Festival" procession outside the village.
The Spring Festival is the penultimate day of the last week of March.
Spring in Rolling Stone Town comes and goes very quickly. Before two months, it was a snowy winter, and after March, it was a scorching summer. Therefore, there are grand festivals at the beginning and end of March.
That is, the "Spring Knowledge Festival" at the beginning of the month and the "Spring Chi Festival" at the end of the month.
These two festivals have the tradition of holding grand celebrations, and they are also the two most significant festivals in the first half of the year to the residents of Rolling Stone Town. If you miss the Spring Festival, the next festival celebration of the same scale will have to wait until autumn.
"Harvest Festival".
Today, both the residents in the town and the farmers in the countryside got up very early. This is because most people are keen to participate in various activities of the Spring Festival.
Unlike the Spring Festival, which focuses on celebrations, performances and gatherings, the Spring Festival draws more attention to the competitions and activities organized by different residents.
This tradition originated from the Age of Enlightenment, when it was said that the gods held various sports competitions in the spring in order to select warriors from among humans.
Later, it gradually evolved into a semi-official entertainment activity.
Anyone with a respectable reputation can apply to the Rolling Stone Town official for the project. Once the application is approved, they can receive a subsidy from the city hall. All participants in the project also sign up on the spot. The main focus is to be casual and lively.
When Matthew passed the entrance of the mage area in the morning, he found that the persons in charge of the two projects "Grass Eating Contest" and "Ring Ring Contest" were already moving materials on site.
Near the Seven Saints Square, the most friendly "Martin Run" project is also drawing the finish line.
There are also "one-hand and one-legged wrestling competition" and "fat man versus each other" that are also in the preparation process.
The whole town of Rolling Stone is thriving.
Seeing this scene, Matthew was a little stunned.
In previous years, due to his obsession with planting trees, he never even had the chance to observe, let alone participate in the Spring Festival activities.
Today, the strong festive atmosphere evoked the idea of participating in a few activities.
It's a pity that he has other tasks.
"Today, I am Master Ronan!"
With this thought.
Under the guidance of the guards, Matthew and A Bing came to the side hall of the Lord's Mansion.
Although it was early at this time, the lord's mansion was already bustling with people. The servants were busy decorating the holiday decorations, and the masters did not sleep in.
Matthew heard Sif's voice while crossing a doorway.
"Oh, Dad, I am no longer a fifteen-year-old girl. I don't want to dress like a little princess in a fairy tale today!"
This is Sif's complaint.
"But even after the day after tomorrow, you are still a sixteen-year-old girl."
Rhaegar's voice was very gentle:
"And wouldn't it be nice to dress like a little princess? They are all happy in fairy tales."
Sif snorted dissatisfiedly:
"I don't like it. Those clothes are too small. Even if it's a fairy tale, I want to dress like the female knight in the fairy tale!"
Rega was silent for a few seconds before reluctantly saying:
"When you grow up, you will have a lot of time to wear mature clothes, but today, promise me, will you wear clothes that you should have at your age? These clothes are very beautiful and very pitiful, and they may be worn for a long time in the future.
Here, you won’t wear them anymore, just treat them as accompanying them.”
There was a hint of reluctance hidden in Rega's voice.
Xifu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then agreed cheerfully:
"Okay, okay, then it's up to you. I'll pick a little dress. Well, this is it - I love you, dad."
Rega's doting voice floated over:
"I love you even more, my little princess, go to the next room and let Shia help you put it on."
…
"What a sharp kid."
Matthew could even picture in his mind the change of expression on Sif's face when she heard Rhaegar's slightly strange words.
Although this girl has a strong personality, her nature is also sensitive and gentle enough. At least she has lived up to Rhaegar's love for her.
Matthew didn't listen long in the corridor.
Go through three doorways in a row.
He finally arrived at the destination of his trip - a round-arched building on the west side of the Lord's Mansion. This was the residence of Zeller, Rhaegar's only magic advisor.
"You came on time, and I was just getting ready."
Zeller, stylishly dressed and handsome, came out to welcome him.
His eyes lingered for a few seconds near A Bing, who was wearing a night cloak.
Then he led Matthew into the house.
"I have finished setting up the mirroring technique. I tested it twice yesterday and the results were perfect. Um, have you eaten?"
Zeller asked.
"Have eaten, fried spring rolls and a cup of yogurt."
Matthew answered.
"Peggy is such an enviable companion."
Zeller showed a surprised look:
"I heard Sif mention that her cooking skills are superb."
Matthew smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll take you to put on makeup."
Zeller took Matthew to the innermost room.
There are many mirrors here, and a lot of bottles and pots or medicinal powders, most of which are materials that are beyond Matthew's knowledge blind area.
"Although charm is given by God, as a man, you must also know how to take care of yourself and cherish it."
Zeller explained with a smile.
Then he sat Matthew down in front of a mirror like a barber.
Then he snapped his fingers.
In the mirror in front of Matthew.
Suddenly a girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and an explosive figure appeared!
"Good morning, Zeller."
The girl lazily rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the mirror.
The incredible fragrance comes.
A force called desire began to tease Matthew's nerves.
"Lesina, don't use your charm on my guest, he won't fall for it."
Zeller ordered seriously.
The girl stuck out her tongue.
The next second.
She sat on the stage in front of the mirror more vigorously, with her thighs folded alternately. Her short skirt was pulled up silently, revealing a large swath of snow-white skin, and a slender tail with a heart on the tip extended from the bottom.
, and shook unconsciously.
This scene is enough to make most men thirsty.
However, Matthew looked at Zeller next to him calmly.
"This is the makeup artist you found for me?"
Zeller breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this:
"This is Lesina, my contract partner and my family."
…
"Reminder: Your ability "Heart as Still Water" is in effect, and you have successfully resisted the charm of "Succubus Lesina"!
