Chapter 429 Do you really want me to call you dad?
…
Margaret?
Matthew was slightly startled. It must be the same name, right?
As far as he knew, the female mage Margaret who was reborn with his help was still on Cyber Dragon.
And Cyber Dragon is a city of artificers, so how can it be related to Blood Drinking Mountain?
So he asked:
"Where does Miss Margaret live?"
The golden bird pointed out a general direction.
Matthew looked in that direction for a while, then took out the map Terraste had given him and tried to compare it.
As a result he found out.
The map doesn't match reality at all!
The map provided by Tyrast did not contain much content. Based on his own description, the Troll Holy Land should be a long demiplane.
The whole area is curved and winding, with a narrow middle part and a relatively open third on both sides, forming a large habitable plain, and between these plains are continuous mountains.
If the terrain can be fooled by the method of "floating mountains are also mountains".
But Matthew didn’t notice the turbulent flow of void around the mountain at all!
According to Terraste's previous instructions.
The demiplane of Blood Drinking Mountain is filled with dangerous void turbulence.
If you are not careful, you may be sucked into the star realm, and your life may even be in danger.
in his description.
The Troll Holy Land is a rather unstable demiplane, essentially not much different from Matthew's demiplane.
However, in Matthew's observation.
The demiplane in front of us is extremely stable, even more stable than most secondary planes!
There are no signs of void turbulence around Floating Mountain——
if so.
Those cloud dragons and flying units will not soar in the sky so unscrupulously.
In fact.
The prosperous species richness in Blood Drinking Mountain captured with the naked eye alone is enough to infer that many new species and resources have evolved in this plane.
Such a plane is quite stable in structure and elements.
It is almost impossible for plane collapse or deconstruction to occur.
There is no way for the turbulent flow of space to get close.
Rule out that Terraste is maliciously deceiving himself.
Matthew thinks it is more likely that in the past years, a new round of biological evolution and plane expansion broke out in Blood Drinking Mountain!
It is precisely because of this change that the map is highly inconsistent with reality.
After all, this map was handed down from the era of the Troll Empire.
It has a history of more than two thousand years.
Two thousand years of time.
Enough for a stable demiplane to undergo transformation.
"It's even possible that a new civilization evolved here!"
Think of this.
Matthew couldn't help but feel a little more excited and expectant.
Considering that no big risks have been discovered yet, and several of them are self-proclaimed experts.
So next they plan to split into two groups.
Matthew, Sener and Mira work together to find Miss Margaret, the guardian mentioned by the golden bird;
The remaining three people continued to search for clues to the Lost Paradise in the suspended mountain where the statue was located and several nearby floating islands.
The group parted ways outside the valley.
Sen'er rode the Bobo Bird directly towards the area where the guardian was;
Matthew also turned into a raven, fluttering his wings and flying;
He glanced back, and saw a black bat unexpectedly following behind him. The black bat flew fast and hard, giving people the feeling that it might attack him at any time.
Matthew shook his wings.
A little further away from the black bats.
"Sure enough, those who can become legends, as long as they are not pure warriors, usually have one or two skills in the wild form."
Matthew thought secretly.
The three of them deliberately avoided the area where Yunlong was and flew through the sky between the suspended mountains at a faster speed.
The sky here is also magical.
When Matthew was flying over the mountains, he felt like he was plunging into water——
The air here is as thick as liquid.
But it doesn’t have the big resistance of ordinary liquids.
Matthew could breathe freely, but soon he found that his wings became wet and felt heavier when waving.
In comparison.
The feathers of the bobo birds under Sen Er's crotch appear to be extremely hard and impervious to water——
Said it was a feather.
It's more like armor that can be wielded.
This is obviously the specific evolution of the indigenous people in order to adapt to the local environment.
They flew over three huge floating mountains and more suspended boulders.
not far away.
A small island covered with greenery appeared in their eyes.
According to the introduction of Bobo Bird.
This small island covered with rainbows is where the guardian Margaret lives.
It's just that there is a powerful magic barrier on the island.
The indigenous people did not dare to approach.
The three people in the group used their own methods and slowly landed on the east side of Rainbow Island.
Matthew stood on the edge of the island and glanced down.
The rainbows here reminded him of fairy gardens, and they seemed to function as traffic conduits.
"These rainbows lead to the surface?"
"Could it be that the map Terraste gave me is for use down there?"
Matthew Xiu thought so.
suddenly.
His perception moved slightly——
There is a fight in the woods ahead!
And not one or two.
There are many.
The two wanderers, Mira and Sen'er, reacted faster. As soon as Matthew came back to his senses, they had already rushed towards the scene of the fight.
Matthew blessed himself with oil on the soles of his feet and opened a random door, and then he could barely keep up with the pace of the two legendary wanderers.
"It's actually a fish-man?"
When Matthew saw the races on both sides of the war, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
Murlocs are not uncommon on the continent of Irondor, and there are a large number of murlocs along the coast of non-tropical waters and even in the deep sea.
But what the hell is the fishman showing up here?
Is there also an ocean in the sky?
Before Matthew could figure out the origins of these fish-men, Sener pointed to several bloody corpses on the ground and whispered:
"It's an orc."
Matthew nodded slightly.
There were two or three corpses of orcs lying on the ground, but it was not the orcs that were having a fierce conflict with the murlocs now, but a group of trolls and grudges.
There are about 30 members of the fish crowd, and the number of trolls is 4.
There seems to be a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides.
But the fish crowd was suppressed and beaten by the trolls and resentful spirits!
Nothing else.
These trolls and grudges are all legendary templates, but the murlocs are not. Matthew visually estimated that their individual levels are only level four or even level three, and the combined level of the group is also standard level five.
The murlocs were being beaten unilaterally by the troll spirit.
That is to say, this group of murlocs is extremely durable. Several of the small bosses seem to be wearing amulets that can reduce the resistance of spiritual bodies, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago!
"It's so strange that there are actually fishmen and orcs..."
Sen Er chuckled.
Bang thorn——
He and Mira drew their weapons at the same time!
Matthew couldn't help but ask:
"Who are you going to help?"
As soon as these words came out, the two legendary wanderers were obviously stunned for a moment.
Sener looked strange, but remained silent.
On the contrary, Mira, who has always been aloof, gave an additional explanation to Matthew:
"I usually kill both sides."
"but……"
"The question you just asked gave me a lot of inspiration. I suddenly discovered that in addition to killing both sides, there is also an option to favor one side. Let me think about it..."
As she said that, Mira fell into deep thought seriously.
After listening to this, Matthew had speechlessness written directly on his face——
It’s really tiring to cooperate with people from the evil camp!
Killing the whole family at every turn.
It is obvious that he is also an extremely terrifying destroyer in the eyes of all beings in the star world.
But in front of these two people.
Matthew felt as pure and kind as a little lamb!
I thought about it for about fifteen seconds.
Mira decisively pulled out the weapon again:
"Forget it, thinking about this kind of problem is too strenuous for me. It's better to kill them all to save trouble."
At this moment, Sener reminded calmly:
"Mira, go and kill all those trolls."
"Matthew, you go kill those fishmen."
Mira asked back:
"Why?"
Sen Er hummed:
"Haven't you seen it yet?"
"The troll spirits are the guardians, and those fishmen are outsiders."
"It is reasonable to kill the guardian as an enemy, but as a friend, of course, it is used to deal with outsiders who hurt the guardian - that is, the group of fishmen."
Mira frowned:
"how about you?"
Sen'er silently put away the weapon:
"I am a traveler, and of course I am not a traveler."
Mira snorted coldly:
"Sounds like you just want to sit back and enjoy the results."
"How do you know the fish people are outsiders?"
Matthew explains for Sell:
"There is a red halo under the feet of the group of murlocs. It is very faint, but it does exist. I guess this is an abnormal sign brought about by the identity of the "enemy"."
"You also have such a halo under your feet, Mira..."
"You didn't notice, did you?"
The short-haired drow lowered his head and looked silently, then became silent.
While several people were talking.
The group of fishmen were driven away by the troll spirit and actually retreated near them.
The fish-man closest to him obviously doesn't have eyes.
He spotted Mira and didn't intend to distance himself. Instead, he rushed forward waving the harpoon.
The next second.
Mira, who had just accumulated some anger, instantly pulled out her weapon——
Sizzle...ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so little so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so
Matthew suddenly looked amazed.
When he saw Mira hanging the scimitar on her waist, he thought it was the scimitar or short knife commonly used by drow warriors. Unexpectedly, the weapon Mira pulled out was ridiculously long!
Its length is about twice as long as Mira's height!
That is a genuine horse-killing sword!
"It's so crazy these days. Zhuoer has even used his sword to cut off his horse. I wonder which Sioux descendant her master is from?"
Not to mention Matthew, even the well-informed Sen Er couldn't help but murmur.
Snapped!
Mira is a typical person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much. As soon as the sword was drawn, the fish-man who behaved badly in the first place was dead and separated!
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Mila's body skills are like lightning, she drags the knife with one hand, and her waist and legs show amazing explosive power.
She broke into the crowd of murlocs like a killer star, just slashing left and right at will.
Between the light of the sword and the chaos of shadows.
A large number of fish heads fell to the ground one after another.
It takes less than half a minute.
More than thirty fishmen all died violently!
However, the short-haired drow did not stop there.
After killing those fishmen.
She faced off against the trolls again.
Compared to the weak and bully murlocs, the Troll Wraiths are much more powerful.
However, Mira just dragged the Zhanma sword around half a circle, and pulled out an arc of light from the side——
Whoosh.
A half-moon slash emitting white light successfully hit two trolls.
in the latter's neighing.
The special attack that existed like sword energy tore the resentful spirit into pieces.
The remaining two resentful spirits did not last long.
Thirty seconds later.
Mira stood next to a pile of fish-man corpses and slowly dragged the sword to the ground.
But at this moment.
Her muscles that had just been relaxed immediately tightened, and the blade that was in close contact with the ground suddenly reversed.
The tip of the knife was lifted up quickly with dirt, and after the blade collided with Sener's dagger, it made a continuous buzzing sound.
The battle between the two legendary rogues was too fast.
Matthew couldn't see clearly at all.
He only felt that in the blink of an eye, the two people who had just looked like they were fighting to the death were already separated.
They kept a relatively safe distance.
Mira coldly put the knife back into its humble scabbard:
"It won't happen again."
Sen'er's attitude was still joking:
"Don't be too serious."
Mira choked without giving in:
"I hate it when others test me."
"And people I hate usually die miserably."
Sener snorted:
"Yeah?"
"Matthew, what do you think... what the hell are you doing?"
Both of their eyes were locked on Matthew.
Matthew slowly stuffed the fish head back to the body, then activated the spell medium he had just put down, and then chanted a skillful summoning spell.
Immediately afterwards.
A lot of negative energy was swirling around him.
The fish-man corpse whose head he had just connected suddenly twitched!
"Didn't you see? I'm checking their bodies."
Matthew said without embarrassment.
Mira frowned, but said nothing.
It was Sen'er who took the initiative to point out her displeasure:
"Hey, what you're doing is against the rules. Whoever kills the person, the body belongs to him. I don't need to say more about this unspoken rule, right?"
Matthew looked a little apologetic:
"I thought we were companions and could share the body. Um, do you want me to cancel the spell now?"
"Or I could pay a fee."
Mira said coldly:
"No need."
"But all the spoils are mine."
Of course Matthew had no objection.
What he valued was the zombie murlocs themselves, not the trophies on them.
not to mention.
Murlocs are already poor, so how can they get any trophies?
Mira quickly touched the corpse, and then the short-haired drow's face became even more disgusting.
Matthew didn't really care.
He directly resurrected all the fish-man corpses!
Facts prove.
The ban on the Necromancer only exists in the tomb at the entrance.
The undead can still be summoned on this island.
This is good news for Matthew.
The cluster level of this group of resurrected murloc zombies is at LV18, which is certainly not enough for a legendary high-level map like Blood Drinking Mountain.
But it can also serve as cannon fodder and an obstacle.
"It's a pity that the summoned objects cannot receive level correction, otherwise it would be too cool..."
After resurrecting the fishmen.
The three of them checked the three orc corpses that were first discovered.
They came to a preliminary conclusion——
These orcs, like the fishmen, also come from the outside world.
"There may be a small number of orcs in the ancient land, but there are absolutely no fish-men."
Sener said.
Matthew nodded slightly.
Various signs indicate that in addition to the Forgotten Ones led by the Four Giants of the Ancient Land, a fourth force has also entered the Blood Drinking Mountain!
This phenomenon is really strange.
It was as if there was a force in the dark, guiding everyone to come and join in the fun.
It just happened to be at this spot.
In the Troll Holy Land where Tyrast wants to recreate the miracle of the Twin Heavens!
Matthew and Sener looked at each other.
Both sides saw similar doubts in the other's eyes.
The three of them said no more.
Surrounded by fish-man zombies, they walked into the woods ahead.
The woods are not densely populated with trees.
The sun shines down from above, and the light occupies most of the space.
There are obvious footprints on the ground.
The group of people followed the footprints.
Not long after.
The sound of fierce fighting came from an open space ahead.
There were not many people fighting this time.
There seemed to be only four or five people.
Matthew ordered the zombies to stand still, and the three of them moved forward in hiding.
Not long after.
He then saw a female orc holding two swords fighting fiercely with four phantom-like fish-man assassins!
No.
Those are not four murloc assassins.
But one!
Matthew quickly realized that three of the four phantoms were the clones of the fish-man assassin!
"That's DeRosa."
"Phase Assassin DeRosa."
"The merchants in the northern seas call him the darling of the Black Tide, and the pirates near the Free Islands think of him as the God of Death on the sea."
"He is the leader of the Murloc Black Gold Party and one of the new generation leaders of Shadow Rebellion."
"He has a treasure in his hand called the Tears of the Sea Emperor. Not only can he enter a state of strong invisibility anytime and anywhere during battle, but he can also create three to six clones with 100% combat power!"
"The scene you see is the effect of the Tears of the Sea Emperor..."
Sen'er introduced the origin of the fish-man assassin in a familiar manner.
"As for the female orc, I've heard a little bit about it. It seems her name is Claire and she comes from another planet."
"Her absolute strength is not as good as DeRosa's, but her skills in using double swords are already extraordinary. In time, she will definitely be able to use this skill to become a legend. Look, what a superb block and parry. This kind of defensive ability makes me
I'm afraid it won't be much better than DeRosa..."
Sen Er hasn't finished speaking yet.
Mira has already drawn the sword that is as tall as two people!
"etc!"
"That's my friend!"
Matthew quickly stopped.
Mira said "Oh", but continued to move forward, and her first stab was aimed at Claire, who was at a disadvantage in the battle.
Bang!
The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded.
Claire took three steps back, and at the same time switched her parrying stance at high speed, continuously removing Mira's charged blows from different angles!
"Mila!"
Matthew shouted:
"I told you that's my friend!"
Mira focused on attacking fiercely without looking back:
"how?"
"Aren't friends meant to be killed?"
Matthew was silent.
He has already begun to prepare the human body fixation technique!
Fortunately, after three moves, Mira stopped her hand in time. The blade of the sword was turned, and the short-haired drow stared at the fish-man assassin who had just stepped aside and was looking at the three of them with a wary look.
The fish-man assassin doesn't seem to want to get involved with Mira.
After two rounds of fighting.
He left a smoke bomb in place and then disappeared.
Mira looked around, and her dark red pupils suddenly shrank:
"found it!"
"I'll go after him!"
Matthew called her a few words, but she seemed not to hear him and ran away with the fish-man assassin.
"Stop shouting, it's useless."
Sener said with a smile:
"That woman is interested in DeRosa's Tears of the Sea Emperor."
"Look, even a legend can't change the shortcomings of drow women's greed for money..."
Matthew glanced at him:
"you do this delibrately?"
Sener shrugged:
"No, I don't have any sinister intentions."
"You know me, I just like to test a person's depth..."
As he spoke, he pointed forward.
On the open space.
Claire, the orc female swordsman, was looking at the two people who looked at ease with vigilance.
She was looking at Matthew more and spoke with a hint of uncertainty:
"Are you the Necromancer I know?"
Matthew opened his arms:
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
"Do you know any other necromancers named Matthew?"
Claire relaxed her vigilance slightly:
"Your new companions don't look very friendly."
Matthew gave a rare forced smile:
"For some special reasons, I was forced to team up with a group of scum."
"I'll explain it to you later."
"Speaking of which, you and the fish-man assassin, why are you here?"
"I remember you should be at Feilai Island."
Claire said:
"Oh, that's a long story."
"At first, Ms. Carmela opened a large tomb under the sea in order to find the ancient breath."
"Subsequently, Prophet Capone, a respected old orc who flew to the island, said that he dreamed of the beast god for seven consecutive nights. The beast god inspired him in his dreams, so he decided to go to the dream in person.
The place that appears in."
"The two sides hit it off immediately, and Samantha and I also entered the undersea tomb as an entourage. In the tomb, we found a teleportation array leading to the ancient refuge of the sea elves."
"We entered the shelter and encountered a group of very scary monsters. After that, we were separated during the escape. Then I met this group of fishermen. In the chaos, I don't know who activated another teleportation array.
, then I came here..."
Carmela and Samantha are there too?
Although Matthew was not surprised, there were too many coincidences that led to the same destination through different routes, right?
But he soon became excited:
"Can you pinpoint their location?"
Claire shook her head:
"It was precisely because I was unsure that I heard that the guardian here could help us determine the direction, so I came here."
"But as soon as I came in, I ran into these fish-men again. I thought it would not be easy to escape. Fortunately, I met you... and your friends."
It looks like.
She was still very wary of these two companions with obvious evil auras appearing around Matthew.
Matthew certainly understands.
Claire is the most upright person he has ever met, even if she is an orc.
Walk with her.
Compared with Sener, people like Mira are much more reassuring!
"I'm glad to meet you in a place like this. I will find a way to help you find Carmela and Samantha."
"Due to some coincidence, this demiplane currently gathers almost all the non-magic strongmen in the south of Irondor. We must work together to get through this difficulty."
Matthew sincerely extended his right hand to Claire.
The latter hesitated for a moment.
Still holding Matthew's hand tightly.
Sen'er next to him couldn't help but whistled:
"So this is the one you like."
"I have to admit, the taste of the Necromancer is indeed a bit strong."
Matthew ignored Sener's malicious teasing.
They waited for Mira for a while, but the latter never appeared.
Not long after.
They decided to move on and visit the so-called guardian.
The path in the forest is not easy to walk.
But for Sener and Claire, the increasingly dense branches and shrubs did not cause any trouble.
The three of them marched through the dense forest for more than twenty minutes.
Then they discovered a huge lake.
There are many animals drinking water leisurely next to the lake.
There are more than a dozen giant rabbits standing on their hind legs, eating carrots and grass!
I saw three people appear suddenly.
One of the rabbits with well-developed chest muscles jumped in front of them:
"Are you here to visit Miss Margaret?"
"I must inform you that Miss Margaret will only accept one visitor per day."
"Only one of you can see her today, how about you discuss it?"
The three of them looked at each other.
While they were still discussing how to decide today's visitors.
A series of ripples suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake.
Immediately afterwards.
A frog stepped on the ripples and floated up to the water's edge.
The frog came to the rabbit, and the latter bent down to listen to what the frog was whispering.
Then Rabbit nodded and said to the three of them:
"You don't need to discuss it."
"Miss Margaret is in a good mood today and is willing to meet you three separately."
"But the first one has to be you!"
"Mr. Matthew, right? Please come with me!"
The rabbit jumped up and down and took Matthew to the lake.
He muttered a few spells.
The lake split to both sides.
A road appeared in the center, and at the end of the road was a small wooden house with a colorful appearance.
Matthew moved quickly along the path.
Not long after.
He came to the wooden house.
There was faint sound of music in the room.
"No need to knock, please come in."
A young female voice came from inside.
Matthew pushed open the door and entered.
The fragrance of butter hit my face, and the air in the living room was slightly hot, probably because of the roaring fireplace, or maybe because of the burning sensation of baking bread coming from the kitchen.
Matthew followed the source of the sound and came near the kitchen door.
He saw a little girl wearing a cook's clothes walking out of it holding a honey cake high.
The girl's face was delicate and lovely, and her appearance and outline really looked like the Margaret that Matthew knew!
"Want to eat bread?"
The little girl looked up and asked Matthew.
Matthew was still in a daze.
Two blushes suddenly appeared on the former's cheeks, and his eyes became a little more complaining:
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"You don't really want me to call you dad, do you?"
