Matthew took a closer look and found that "Stealing Life" can be used to suck a large amount of blood;
"Soul torture" is the torture of the soul to extract confessions;
"Stealing experience" refers to an ability that can obtain the soul in a short period of time;
"Will Abuse" can reduce the opponent's resistance and is best used to deal with weak enemies;
The final "Eye of the Dead" can even enter a coordinate deep in the opponent's memory, and then check the situation around the coordinate to facilitate tracing clues.
More importantly, these options are not single-choice and can be used repeatedly.
As long as the target's soul is imprisoned in the cage, the option can be used up to 6 times!
"This is more like the ability of a necromancer than a warlock. Perhaps the God of Midnight also controls a small amount of the realm of death."
Matthew thought this way.
The Moonlight Goddess mentioned before that the number of warlocks in the continent of Irondor will increase.
Referring to the situation of the God of Midnight, it is not difficult to know that the gods who are not willing to be lonely will probably create evil clones in the outer planes, bypassing the restrictions of the Tianlun Palace as the masters of evil arts, thereby indirectly gaining influence on the mortal world.
force.
If you look at it this way, many new sorcerers are actually priests of the Righteous God!
Their abilities also began to deviate from the category of traditional magicians, and their style of painting became all kinds of strange.
Matthew realized that when he meets a magician in the future, he must not hold stereotypes, otherwise he may die miserably!
In addition to the advantages.
The cost of activating a Soul Cage is quite high.
A full 100 gold coins!
With Matthew's current net worth, he can only keep one Mind Stone as a spare, but he can't afford any more.
"Edson did not use this ability at that time. On the one hand, it may be because the conditions were not sufficient, and on the other hand, it may be because he did not have a "Heart Seizer" on him?"
"It is said that the casting materials required for many advanced abilities are very expensive. Many times, advanced spellcasters die not from lack of combat power, but from poverty!"
"When the advancement is completed, I must find a way to make a fortune!"
Thinking of this, Matthew closed the document and lay down to rest.
Even though we were close to the city, it was still not safe to camp in the wild, so Matthew slept lightly, but this night was unexpectedly peaceful.
The convoy started smoothly the next day, and in the evening, the group arrived at Zeshui City.
Matthew and the convoy parted ways at the gate of the city.
Zeshui City is built on the mountain. It goes up layer by layer. The farther you go towards the inner city, the higher the terrain becomes. On the road leading to the inner city, there are layers of fortresses and stone gates. If you want to walk from outside the city to the top of the mountain,
The "Feathered Serpent Holy Spring" requires passing through 196 stone gates.
Therefore, this place is also called the City of Ten Thousand Gates.
The permanent population here is mostly humans, mixed Jango people, orcs and half-orcs, with occasional traces of Sioux and sea elves.
When passing by the 4th stone gate.
Matthew ran into a group of people coughing crazily.
They looked sallow and thin, and their eyes were out of focus, but for some reason they were still walking aimlessly on the street wearing a layer of grass clothes made of reeds.
While walking, I was still coughing violently.
The patrolling guards didn't dare to stop them when they saw them. They just scolded them from a distance and quickly avoided them.
Upon seeing this, Matthew put on his mask decisively and waited in the alley next to him for a while. He waited until the group of coughing people left before he quickly passed by.
More than twenty minutes later.
Matthew came to the "Jungle Dance" hotel located between the 11th and 12th stone gates.
This is a place that Li Weiqi strongly recommends.
It is said that not only is the price-performance ratio extremely high, but if you really have no money, the hotel owner will allow you to work in the hotel to pay off your debts.
It's not that Matthew is looking for cheap.
He just trusted Li Weiqi's vision, not to mention that this hotel also provided guide services.
After passing by the coughing marchers.
He just wants to find the guide as soon as possible and leave here!
That night, he entered Jungle Dance and chatted with the half-orc boss named Truger for a while.
When the latter learned that Matthew needed a guide to cross the rainforest, he patted his chest and made sure that he would bring him the best guide in Zeshui City tomorrow.
Matthew was relieved about this.
Seeing that there were many people coughing in the hall, he declined the enthusiastic Orc boss's invitation to dine in the hall and ate alone in the room on the second floor.
The climate in Zeshui City was hot and humid, and Matthew had no appetite at all, but he still tried to eat a little for the rest of the journey.
After nightfall.
A violent coughing sound came from the next room.
Upstairs, there was the sound of a group of men and women enjoying the joy of life.
When he opened the window, a heavy smoke came out. Matthew looked down and saw that someone was burning a wormwood-like plant in the yard on the first floor. The man was mumbling something while burning it. Beside the fire, there was also
There were several people lying on reed mats, uncertain whether they were alive or dead.
Matthew quickly closed the doors and windows and forced himself to sleep.
"Does Li Weiqi regard this place as a place to cultivate one's mind? He strongly recommends it, and he didn't say that there are patients everywhere here?"
He covered his head with a pillow and smiled bitterly in his heart:
"If you find a guide tomorrow, leave immediately. We can't stay here for a minute!"
…
Early the next morning.
There was a crackling sound from the hotel toilet.
After a while.
Matthew walked out with a livid face, clutching his stomach.
"Gan, this is the sixth time."
He endured the dull pain in his lower abdomen, and his forehead and eyelashes were covered with large beads of sweat.
…
"Warning: You have entered the realm of the "King of Plagues" and are infected with fever. Your current symptoms are fever, diarrhea, and cough..."
…
"When exactly did you get tricked?"
When Matthew sat on the dry toilet toilet for the seventh time and ejaculated.
He deeply doubted life.
At this time, he was sweating profusely, and it felt like there were ants crawling in his lungs. The turbid smell in the toilet was a constant reminder of the long night in the past.
Unless you are extremely tough.
Matthew was probably exhausted by now.
"Looks like I have to ask the shop owner to buy holy water."
He rubbed his lower abdomen and frowned, preparing for the eighth impact.
At this moment, Ella's voice came from outside the door:
"Matthew, Matthew, are you ready to go?"
The toilet door was pushed open.
Ella screamed, flapped her wings and flew away:
"Matthew, did you blow up the toilet?"
Matthew said tiredly:
"It's a fever. I'm infected with a fever. You go to the innkeeper and ask him to buy me some holy water for purification."
The door opened for a while.
Only then did Ella appear in front of Matthew cautiously again.
As a nature soul, Ella spent last night in the Moonglade.
Seeing Matthew's miserable appearance, Miss Owl suddenly showed a heart-wrenching expression:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Matthew looked at her in surprise.
"Don't underestimate the soul of nature, I am the goddess's favorite one!"
As she spoke, her chest swelled, and a white light merged into Matthew's body.
…
"Tip: Ella used "Intermediate Dispel" on you.
Dispersal failed!"
…
Ella didn't believe it and came twice in a row, but still failed.
She finally became serious: "A plague that can't be driven away even by intermediate levels? Matthew, this is someone spreading and controlling it in the dark. I smell the power of the domain!"
Matthew nodded slightly.
The Plague King.
He has never heard of this name, but anyone who dares to use such a title without losing his title is most likely a ruthless person.
Zeshui City is indeed not a kind place.
It's just that now he doesn't have the capital to cause trouble.
"Let me try advanced dispelling."
Ella hesitated for a while and said:
"But after using this ability, my mental state will be very bad for the next ten days. I... I may have to lie in your arms!"
Matthew nodded hard.
…
"Tip: Ella used advanced dispel on you.
Dispersal successful!
You are freed from the plague infection. Please replenish water and energy in time.
In view of the night of diarrhea, cough and fever, you have obtained the following elements of the plague field: infection, pain, immunity, cure. Accumulate more elements, and you will have the opportunity to enter the plague field for the first time!"
…
After a while.
Matthew straightened his back and came out of the toilet with a completely new look!
"Matthew, I can't do it anymore!"
Ella fell into his arms.
Matthew caught it steadily, said thank you, then packed his luggage and walked downstairs.
"Like the undead, 'plague' is also a sub-domain of death. If given the chance, I must conquer it!"
Matthew silently wrote down the name of the Plague King in his heart.
When he walked around the corner, he heard someone crying downstairs. When he looked around, he saw that it was the person who was burning mugwort in the backyard last night.
Matthew saw him hugging the reed mat and burst into tears.
The people around him had their eyes closed, their faces were pale, and they had completely lost their vitality.
The flames in the brazier had long since extinguished, leaving only dark red embers.
Matthew took a deep look, walked downstairs quickly without stopping.
