He briefly checked the description of the spell and felt that it was so evil that it even made people feel creepy!
Different from traditional spells in the world of Irondor, all spell-casting principles are clearly visible, and the underlying logic is also clear-cut.
The spell Parasite Skull seems to be somewhat specious.
Even Ekmund.
I know it but don't know why.
If not proven in practice, this spell is applicable and quite effective.
Matthew may even suspect that this is a fake spell!
He composed himself.
Looked at it carefully.
I found that if you want to practice this spell, you must use the rich power of ether and your own blood to "enlighten" a specific head.
It's called enlightenment.
It is also a kind of ritual magic from another world.
The purpose is to awaken part of the spirituality in the head, and this part of the spirituality is related to eating.
As long as it can be successfully awakened.
Then the practice of this spell is almost complete.
As for the choice of head.
Mentioned in magic books.
The best thing is to cultivate your own head.
in this case.
Once you successfully cultivate the Parasitic Skull, your head can be separated from your body at any time, which not only has unparalleled advantages in spell casting efficiency, spell strength, and spell casting accuracy.
And it's like having a second life.
The Parasitic Skull naturally has many means of escape, making it almost impossible for the enemy to capture it.
And as long as the parasitic skull can escape.
Just keep eating living things to get a new body!
"It looks a bit like the incarnation training method in Xianxia novels..."
Matthew scratched his head.
It is indeed an alien magic, and the style of painting is indeed very different.
But if he is allowed to choose by himself.
He still won't cultivate his head easily.
After all, it is very clear in the book.
If you want to enlighten your head, you must cut off your own head, hold it in your arms at a specific time, and chant a ritual incantation...
Matthew felt horrified just thinking about that scene.
And he only practiced this spell to resist the invasion of Void bloodline.
There is no need for him to involve himself in pursuing the power of magic.
And if you choose other people's heads as the carrier of the parasitic head.
Then there are two rules here -
The spirituality of the original owner of the head must be completely intact, otherwise there may be backlash during the casting process;
The higher the strength of the original owner of the head during life, the greater the power that the parasitic head can exert.
The above two points are not too big a problem for Matthew.
Necromancers are naturally sensitive to spirituality, so it is easy to find a clean and hygienic skull.
As for whether he was strong enough during his lifetime.
Matthew also has a way of making rough judgments.
"Anyway, it is only used to replenish elements regularly. If there are other ways to replenish elements in the future, this spell can be sealed..."
He still doesn't like the Parasitic Skull very much.
Mainly because this thing is too evil.
The lives eaten by it have almost completely erased all traces of their existence and birth.
Its elements will be swallowed up by the caster, leaving no scraps of the soul behind.
This was a bit over the line for Matthew.
And at this point.
The spell of Parasitic Skull is actually similar to the Thousand Transformers' Body Seizing spell.
But according to the description in the magic book and Ekmund's remarks.
The spell Parasitic Skull has a strong growth potential.
In fact, it is very suitable for mages to cultivate as a signature spell.
"Let's look at it later..."
He closed the magic book and immediately expressed his gratitude to Ekmund sincerely.
no matter what.
This is a priceless magic book.
Even though Matthew had rejected Eckmond before, the other party was still willing to help him, which was considered quite generous.
"You don't have to talk to me, Matthew."
"I'm actually very happy that there are people like me in the alliance, even though you are forced to do so, and I do so voluntarily."
Ekmund smiled and handed a dark purple amulet into Matthew's hand:
"This is a concealment talisman that can cover up the abnormal aura on your body. When you learn the Parasitic Skull, you can suppress the Void Bloodline by filling in the elements, and no one will be able to detect it by then."
"Before that, I suggest you still wear this amulet. This can save you a lot of trouble."
Matthew thought for a moment, then took the amulet obediently, and then thanked Ekmund again.
The latter had a smile on his face and continued the previous topic:
"Now that we've talked about the trouble, let's talk about the benefits that the void bloodline can bring to you."
“First of all, it can strengthen your physical fitness in all aspects.
Void bloodline can improve your limb flexibility, energy recovery speed, alertness to danger, sensitivity to abnormal smells, etc.
Secondly, it can make you more focused. If you quantify it, it means that Void Bloodline will at least add a little extra focus to your daily work. Don’t underestimate this. Over time, it can create extra focus for you.
of wealth.
Finally, and most importantly.
I suspect that the Void bloodline is a stepping stone to the etheric realm. Ever since I had the Void bloodline, I seem to have had an enlightenment, learning magic and mastering the field countless times faster than before!
You can say that.
As long as you have the void bloodline.
Even if you are just an ordinary person, you will become a magic genius.
And your magic genius is all-round and all-field!
As long as there are enough resources.
You may reach ceilings that ordinary people can't even imagine.
Of course, the improvement of this kind of magic talent is not unlimited.
According to my observation.
It will only increase your all-field talent to the level of an ordinary genius.
But it is impossible to catch up with the real super genius.
in other words.
It can only rigidly push your talent to a certain fixed level, rather than building upon your original level."
Matthew nodded.
Ekmund made it very clear.
Even if he superimposed seven or eight void bloodlines, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with a monster like Hibbert.
But this thing can at least make up for Matthew's shortcomings in some areas.
In fact.
His magic talent is indeed not very high.
If it weren't for this sick system.
There is no way Matthew could have reached this point so quickly!
The end.
Ekmund sighed:
"My talent is probably the worst among all the high-level legendary mages, but I still condensed the field fruits of ten magic fields. In terms of comprehensiveness, I am second only to Lady Isabel."
"The Void bloodline plays a big role in this."
"So you don't have to have too much resistance to this. In the final analysis, there is no right or wrong in power itself. Sometimes there is no need to trace its source. You just have to figure out how to use it."
Matthew immediately showed a look of being taught.
Then he suddenly couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher is more powerful than you?"
"Then will she also..."
Ekmund smiled and shook his head:
"You think too much."
"She is a true genius."
"If there were no natural disaster mage, she would be the supreme one among the mage, the one who would shine through the ages."
Matthew laughed dryly and quickly gave up the ridiculous idea.
Too.
If even Isabel has void bloodline.
So why is the Lord of the Void so busy?
Just wait for the opponent’s boss to vote!
The two chatted for a while.
Matthew found an opportunity and asked:
"You have helped me so much, I want to do something for you."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ekmund looked at him with a half-smile:
"Is it okay to join Snake Mountain?"
Matthew suddenly showed a wry smile:
"It's not that I don't want to join the Snake Mountain Association, it's just that now I really don't have more energy to spread to other aspects..."
Ekmund didn't seem to mind:
"Kidding."
"I don't need you to do anything here. If you are willing, say a few nice words in front of Ronan for me."
"By the way, find a time to return these things to Ronan - remember to pick a time when he is in a good mood."
Talking room.
Several wooden boxes appeared in front of Matthew.
Ekmund waved his hand.
The box opened automatically, revealing pieces of women's clothing with bold styles and fine materials...
Matthew was shocked:
"What are these?"
Ekmund said without changing his expression:
"oh."
"These are the clothes I borrowed from Ronan's house. I never had time to return them to him, so I ask you to hand them over on my behalf."
Matthew was silent.
Ekmund didn't say anything either.
after awhile.
Matthew spoke with some difficulty:
"The relic of the magic goddess Ye Li?"
Ekmund nodded with a smile and said:
"indeed so."
"Ye Li is an unprecedented conspicuous person. No matter whether she is alive or dead, she longs for everyone's eyes to focus on her, especially men. She hopes that all men will concentrate on learning her magic when working, and when they are leisurely
I am in love with her all the time..."
"So she filled her underwear with magical mysteries and tempting illusion traps. To be honest, it's not easy to get Ye Li's rewards through these traps."
"I went to Ronan's house as a guest and brought them back by accident."
"Hey, I really didn't mean it, I was just too eager to improve myself..."
Matthew looked at the boxes of personal clothes and was already thinking about how to reject Ekmond.
Ekmund winked at him:
"You can pick a few to take away."
"Not everyone is qualified to touch the underwear of the goddess of magic. Maybe you can understand the secret of magic from it?"
"Don't worry, I have reached a tacit agreement with Ronan. He will never be angry with you because of this. If it doesn't work, you can pass it to him through Qin Wuyue."
"Matthew? You should be willing to help with this small favor, right?"
Matthew sighed helplessly.
He had vaguely guessed that Eckmund might have stolen something from Ronan.
Unexpectedly, it was the secret treasure of the goddess of magic!
Ekmund may have compensated Ronan in other ways.
But this incident must still make Ronan very unhappy.
Matthew didn't want to get involved.
But Ekmund had already said this, so it would be disrespectful to refuse.
At the moment, he could only put away all the boxes, and turned around to hand them over to Ronan through 177——
Even if he had no brains, he would not transfer it through Qin Wuyue as Ekmund said.
Who knows if Qin Wuyue knows that Ronan’s secret treasure of the Magic Goddess is these things!
In case the two couples have a bad relationship because of this.
You will definitely be in bad luck!
By then, having lost the favor of Ronan and Qin Wuyue, Isabel rarely cared about trivial and specific matters.
Wouldn’t Matthew have no choice but to turn around and join Ekmund?
"This old man is really full of ideas!"
“Must be handled with caution!”
Matthew secretly made up his mind and responded respectfully on the surface:
"let me try."
Then he shifted the topic to the processing and subsequent development of the sampan plane.
As an experienced legendary mage.
Ekmund really gave Matthew a lot of useful advice.
When Matthew invited him to participate in the development of the sampan plane, Ekmond readily agreed and told Matthew that he could lend him a group of manpower for emergency use.
Wait until Matthew's own people are in place.
Just put those people back.
After Matthew expressed his gratitude again, he said he would make a decision based on the situation.
after all.
He wants to invite more than just Ekmund.
According to past practice.
Qin Wuyue and Ronan's Southern Magic Army were the main force in the subsequent development of the sampan plane.
This is also Matthew's little reward for these two legends who have taken great care of him.
Bringing so many legends into the game.
This means that the profits that Matthew can make in the sampan plane will be greatly shared.
But he also knew it very well.
It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
Only in this way can he continue to grow his strength without any worries.
Anyway, he has made enough money from attacking the sampan plane.
benefits for subsequent development.
He's not that greedy, just get some points!
After leaving Snake Mountain Castle.
Matthew immediately returned to Jade Cangting to check the situation.
Windward Valley.
There was a depression.
Windseeker soldiers can be seen everywhere maintaining order.
But the situation here is not as chaotic as Matthew imagined.
Most entertainment institutions are closed at this time.
It is said that a group of the wood elves who caused trouble have been arrested, and the remaining people will either cooperate with the search or hide at home without leaving the house.
The investigation in Windward Valley by the Alliance mages headed by Hood was surprisingly smooth.
They didn't even encounter much resistance from within the elves.
The reason is also very simple.
Compared to the search for the sorcerer's accomplices that broke out in Windward Vale due to the attack on the Alliance mage, the drama taking place elsewhere in the Jade Cangting attracted more attention from the elves.
The former Grand Marshal of the Wind Chasers, the former regent of the Elf Tribe, and the Sword Master of the Apocalypse, Tyrast, is currently killing the remnants of the Willow Leaf Organization and the Council of Elders!
And the executioner of killing.
From beginning to end, there is only Terraste himself!
Matthew had already learned about this from Hibbert.
But he still felt a little weird.
Therefore, after returning to Windward Valley, he immediately went to verify this matter.
soon.
Matthew found Hood surrounded by King Kong Golems.
"what happened?"
"I heard that Terraste suddenly went crazy?"
he asked Hood with a puzzled look on his face.
Hood was also happy to see Matthew.
He originally wanted to ask about the situation in the sampan plane, but when he saw Matthew asking such a question, he quickly answered:
"Yes, just the night before yesterday, Tyrast, who originally said he was going to slay the dragon, suddenly returned to the Jade Cangting."
"At dawn that day, twelve members of the original Presbyterian Church died violently. Those corpses were all dead with their heads exploded. The murderer's method was simple and neat, killing them with one blow."
"Many theories were circulated that day, because the murderer's method of committing crimes was very similar to that of the Bamboo Stick Party, but the degree was much more serious. Some people also suspected Terrast, but they were still a minority after all.
"
"But the next night and last night, Terraste was in action again."
"This time, he killed nearly two hundred wood elves in one go. Some of them were members of the Council of Elders, and some were members of other elf organizations who held high positions in the Willow Leaf Organization."
"Because there were so many people involved, the scene of Terraste's murder was seen by more than one person, which ultimately triggered accusations and panic throughout the process."
"Yesterday afternoon, Tyrani led the Wind Chasers to go door to door to appease the civilians. She was still clarifying that this must be a misunderstanding or someone framed her."
"But this morning, Tyrast publicly admitted that he was the one who killed those members of the elves."
"At the same time, he also disclosed a plan that he is about to promote -
That is, starting from the 1st of next month, all wood elves who are over 600 years old must voluntarily leave the Jade Cangting and enter the ancient elves' sanctuary called the Secret Light Jungle. They will spend their time in the sanctuary.
Live the rest of your life.
The news has already spread.
The entire Jade Cangting exploded.
All the elves thought that Tyrast had gone mad.
Some people took to the streets to march.
Some people rushed directly to Terrast and insulted him.
Even the Wind Chasers had internal strife.
Currently, only the two direct line troops, Shadow Leopard and Yueyao, still obey Terraste's orders.
Even these two troops.
Many of its members were also dissatisfied with Terraste's atrocities and subsequent plans.
But what makes the elves feel uneasy is...
Currently, Tyrast's whereabouts are elusive. Everyone knows that he is in Jade Cangting, but no one can follow him, and no one can find him!
Even his daughter Tyrani was helpless.
The people from the Willow Leaf Organization were frightened.
Terraste is like a ghost executioner to them.
No one knows when he will show up and take their lives.
It was precisely because Terraste had attracted enough firepower.
Our operations in Windward Valley turned out to be quite smooth.
As of this morning.
We have identified 113 wood elves who have collaborated with Lance.
These wood elves are all imprisoned.
Theoretically, we need to notify Jade Cangting and get their consent before we can send the person away.
But now this is the case.
You can definitely kill first and then show off, and do whatever you want."
Hood's tone sounded a little gloating.
As the boss of Rapid City who has good relations with the wood elves, he seems to be very happy to see such a big mess in Jade Cangting.
Matthew was originally someone who didn't take it too seriously when watching other people's excitement.
But he was more concerned about the changes in Terraste's front and rear feet.
He recalled it.
Before leaving Jade Cangting, Terraste did say that he had a very important plan to implement.
Think about it now.
This is probably the plan to banish elves over 600 years old to the Secret Light Jungle.
Matthew obtained a detailed version of the "Path of Glory" plan released by Terraste from Hood.
It describes more accurately how to judge whether you meet the requirements to enter the Secret Light Jungle in practice.
"According to what is said above, after reaching the age of 600, the wood elves can no longer stay in the Jade Cangting and the nearby forests. They will either choose to enter a shelter to enjoy their old age, or they will have to wander in the territories of other races..."
"The only exception is the executor of the Road to Glory. The executor is the supervisor who ensures that this plan can be run properly. The first supervisor is without exception Terrast himself. He is already over the age of
He is 600 years old. In order to ensure that others can abide by these rules, he cannot exile himself..."
Matthew's brows frowned slightly.
Terraste's plan is a bit too exaggerated and too bold.
As far as he knows.
Wood elves reach adulthood at the age of 120.
The period of youth between 120 and 300 years old is a relatively active period. During this period, elves have strong creative meaning and learning ability, and their thoughts are also more advanced and trendy.
300~600 years old is the maturity period of elves.
At this time, the wood elves not only have a relatively mature mind and a comprehensive understanding of the world, but all aspects of their physical functions have also reached their peak, and their acceptance of new things will not reach the point of complete resistance.
And those over 600 years old are considered old age.
According to Hood's cursory investigation.
Currently, there are about 60,000 wood elves in the Jade Cangting, and about 18,000 of them are over 600 years old, which means they meet the conditions for Talast's exile.
This is close to one-third of the population!
Even if Matthew comes.
He didn't plan to optimize one-third of the wood elves at once!
"This old elf man is too extreme!"
The necromancer couldn't help but sigh like this.
Hood also nodded:
"He can't possibly succeed."
"People's fear of violence has a limit, unless he is really willing to kill more than 18,000 elderly elves..."
"But then again, he seems to really have the strength."
Matthew pondered:
"Do you know what happened to Tyrast after he left Jade Cangting?"
Hood shook his head:
"No one knows where Terraste is."
"The Elf Sword Master is a very unpopular profession. We don't even know what abilities he is proficient in!"
"Unless the Seven Saints take action personally, no other mage dares to say that they can definitely defeat Terraste."
"We only know that he did go to the Garden of Fallen Leaves, because the morning after Tyrast returned to the city, a huge green dragon's head hung directly above the northern city gate."
"I went to confirm, and it is the head of the green dragon Fatina who has been harassing Jade Cangting for these years!"
"He really killed the green dragon!"
Matthew suddenly clicked his tongue.
The cunning of the green dragon Fatina is well known to the world.
She had been dealing with Jade Cang Ting for so many years and was able to escape unscathed.
Now Terraste takes action.
Green Dragon immediately went cold!
"I remember that she seemed to have a Dracolich behind her..."
Matthew recalled his encounter in the troll's underground palace.
I always feel that Terraste's changes before and after are a bit abnormal.
"Originally, after Tyrast succeeded in slaying the dragon, his prestige in Jade Cangting was unparalleled for a while. The elves supported him from the bottom of their hearts, imagining that he could become the hero who would lead the revival of Jade Cangting, but no one
I thought the situation suddenly exploded like this."
"Now most of the elves in the city are in panic all the time. Some are scolding Tyrast, while others are crying and praying to the fallen ancient elves. The order in the city has completely collapsed, and everyone has no time to care for themselves. According to
If this trend continues, it won't be long before a food crisis and other crises, large and small, will break out in Jade Cangting..."
"There are also elves who want to assassinate Terraste. You can probably guess the result."
"In short, the current situation is very... strange."
"Ordinary elves have absolutely nothing to do with Tyrast."
"They were so desperate that they started writing us letters asking for help."
"Look, this is a letter written to us by an elf named Manister. I have read his resume. This guy is an out-and-out elf supremacist. He was once a die-hard supporter of Terraste, and also
He advocated overthrowing the Presbyterian Church and the Willow Leaf Organization to establish a new ruling group, but since Terraste announced the Road to Glory plan, Manister's attitude has changed greatly, because he is 650 years old."
Hood handed a letter into Matthew's hands.
Matthew opened it and looked a little dumbfounded.
This Manister actually hopes that the Alliance will send someone to uphold justice and apprehend Terraste immediately!
"It does look like they're at the end of their rope."
Matthew folded the letter again.
Hood shrugged:
"Who says it isn't?"
"There were also many wood elves who fled to the Eversong Forest overnight and asked the night elves for help. However, the night elves royal family were very smart. They did not receive these stowaways and drove the wood elves back to the border of the Eversong Forest."
"If you ask me, after a while, the elves will ask for help from Purgatory and the Abyss..."
Matthew couldn't help but smile.
But soon his expression became serious.
"I have to go talk to Terraste."
Hood reminded:
"Be careful."
"Trast may be jealous now."
Matthew nodded.
Immediately he left Windward Valley and walked on the sparsely populated main road.
Before I knew it, it was approaching the end of May.
The phoenix flowers on both sides of the road are blooming particularly brightly.
The bright red color dazzled Matthew's eyes in the sunlight.
The whole city is filled with a decayed and solemn smell.
A whole afternoon.
Matthew was searching for traces of Terraste in the city.
But what surprised him was.
Even he couldn't find where Terraste was hiding!
He went to find Tyrani and Biana. The former had a sad face, while the latter was at a loss and seemed unprepared for the current situation.
evening.
Matthew stood on the southern city wall overlooking the partially completed protective umbrella.
Just at that moment.
There were slight footsteps behind him.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that Tyrast is not hostile to him yet.
Because if the other party wants to attack me, it is impossible for him to hear the footsteps!
"Are you looking for me?"
Terraste's tone was as calm as ever.
Matthew looked back and saw that the old elf's appearance was no different from before, and his temperament had become calmer.
He was wearing casual clothes and his hands were empty.
It doesn't look like he's going on a killing spree these days.
"Why do you do this?"
Matthew gets straight to the point.
Terraste's face was as dark as water:
"Because immortality is a curse."
"You humans can live up to a hundred years old, but the long-lived wood elves may even live a thousand years."
"This means that you humans have a self-repair and renewal mechanism, but the elves do not."
"In this case, we can only use external forces to supplement this repair mechanism."
Matthew shook his head:
"You should have known these principles a long time ago."
"I think what I know is, why did you do this all of a sudden?"
Terraste's eyes brightened:
"Because I got the apocalypse."
"Apocalypse?"
Matthew had a bad premonition in his heart.
Terrast nodded.
"What kind of apocalypse? Can you describe it conveniently?"
Matthew bit the bullet and continued to ask.
He knew that Tyrast's profession was the Sword Master of the Apocalypse, and he thought that the apocalypse in this title had something to do with the will of the plane or the will of nature.
Now it seems that may not be the case.
“It’s hard to describe.”
Terraste's voice was filled with unprecedented confidence and determination:
"It was probably when I was killing the green dragon that I discovered how easy it was for me to kill an evil dragon that had troubled Jade Cangting for so many years."
"At that moment I seemed to understand something."
"It turns out that I... am actually so powerful."
"In fact, I don't have to worry about so much."
"Since I have a grand plan in my heart, I will use the simplest way to realize it."
"You're not going to stop me, are you?"
"As a necromancer who has just destroyed a plane with the undead natural disaster, I feel that you have no qualifications, no position, and no strength to do this..."
Come to the last sentence.
Tyrast's eyebrows raised slightly.
Matthew only felt a sharp edge burning his eyes.
That moment.
Matthew's perception of Terraste has undergone earth-shaking changes.
If the previous Terraste was still an extremely restrained piece of rough jade.
