008 Black Warriors and the Scourge Order
……
Cleaning up the battlefield is hard work.
But if there is a good loot to be gained.
It's a different story.
"Whoa~"
Matthew grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them into a small clay jar, then placed them in the folded space of the magic bag, and the melodious sound of metal rolling could be heard the whole time.
"It doesn't get any better than that."
The net worth of the arsonist is extremely rich.
Plus the one taken from the cellar.
Matthew harvested more than 500 gold coins overnight!
And in the last three years.
Even at the best of his economic situation, he was less than one-tenth of what he is now.
"This money can be used to buy a lot of green liquor, maybe consider buying more advanced catalytic items...... That means a lot of trees can be planted this spring! ”
In addition to gold coins.
The abundance of props on Hesse's body also blinded Matthew, a poor family in the countryside.
Blazing glue, Molotov cocktail, dragon oil...... These are all good materials for arson.
In low-level encounters.
These props can exert unimaginable power.
There are no such props.
Matthew had bulldozed them a long time ago!
Right now.
The rest of the props went to Matthew.
Of course, he wouldn't give up using it because the necromancer was naturally afraid of fire.
It's just that the timing of use does have to be more careful.
It's not good if you hurt your little brothers.
……
"You used forensic techniques on the 'Invisible Ring' (unidentified)!
If the identification is successful, your Identification Proficiency will be +10;
Invisibility Ring (First Order Artifact): Wear this item on your index or middle finger to become invisible anytime, anywhere. Can be used 9 times a day.
Attribute: +1 per Perception
Note 1: Do not move, attack, or cast spells while invisible, otherwise the invisibility effect will disappear
Note 2: You still have the collision volume while invisible, if you collide with others, the invisibility effect will disappear."
……
"It's more of a 'hiding ring.'"
Matthew looked at the ring with great interest, with a silver and white background and a black snake motif.
This strange object is still a long way from a true invisible ring.
However, it is better to have more playable times and no spellcasting animation.
The attribute increase of "Perception +1" is also worthy of the identity of a first-order strange object.
He polished the ring.
Then it was carried over the middle finger.
The rest is a little lackluster—
There is still half a bottle of "Advanced Sprint Elixir" left, and you can use it yourself in the future by wiping the bottle mouth;
The "Brotherhood of Silver Frost" doesn't know which city it is, and they don't know what the weight of this token is, and it will be in the way if it is thrown in the clutter;
As for those illusion scrolls, it's even more ridiculous.
Matthew didn't expect that Hesse's shiny muscles were actually the effect of illusion.
This guy is actually less than 1.7 meters tall.
The flesh on the body is also loose.
There is not a trace of training in sight.
"Maybe he thinks that kind of appearance is helpful for burning, killing, and plundering......"
Matthew looked up at the arsonist on the ground.
Hesse's face still had the horrified look on his face that he had died.
The scar on his shoulder and the hole in his chest added a horror or two to the corpse.
The surface of the corpse.
Patches of dark red marks are still spreading tirelessly—
It was the "spore of putrefaction" that Matthew had sprinkled into the air.
These spores are inhaled.
It rapidly generates itchy sacs of putrefaction on its surface.
The sac of corruption is a creature of the negative plane.
It replenishes necromancers with negative energy in battle.
Matthew currently has the ability to "Rotten Bag Mastery".
Wait until the level is higher.
He can also detonate the sac, dominate the sac, and manipulate the infected through the sac of corruption!
That's the scary thing about necromancers.
……
Hesse's "tenacity" and "immunity" are outrageously high.
The rotting sacs on his entourage had long since run out, but he was able to hold it down.
Until now, after his death, the sac of corruption in his corpse has been everywhere like fireworks.
'Crackling'!
The low crunch came and went.
Seeing this, Matthew immediately paused his efforts to read the secret letter.
"You've got to deal with it first, or it's going to be too ugly."
He pulled out a dark green bottle from his magic bag.
Burst.
The cork is pulled out.
A flock of butterflies that shimmer with a faint green fluorescence flies out of it.
They flew around Matthew a few times.
Then he couldn't wait to stop at Hesse and several other corpses.
With the patches of green light moving across the surface of the corpse.
Most of the dark red marks were gone.
This is the "Phantom Butterfly", and it is also a creature from the negative energy plane.
Phantom butterflies feed on the sacs of decay and their spores, making them good scavengers.
Matthew rarely uses the bag of corruption.
After each use.
He'd be sure to use Phantom Butterflies to clean up the neighborhood - it had nothing to do with the system, it was just a little bit of his own cleanliness fetish.
If you let the spoilage spores spread.
The environment will soon become similar to the negative energy plane.
That's why the environment in which most necromancers live is always so bad.
They weren't as particular as Matthew.
……
Because the Phantom Butterfly feeds only on the sac of corruption.
If you don't have enough food, you will die out quickly.
So Matthew is saturated every time he takes care of the aftermath.
He didn't stop until the fluorescent glow all over the mountains was blinding green.
The next step was to dispose of the bodies of the arsonists.
This was Matthew's first exposure to such a complete, fresh corpse.
He was still a little nervous to deal with.
Five followers of the arsonist.
Except for the one who was smashed into meat sauce by Peggy at the beginning.
The remaining four can all be summoned as zombies.
They are in good shape and in shape.
That Scarface even has a chance to become an elite zombie!
Matthew used "Corpse Oil" and "Negative Energy Secret Water" to simply embalm their corpses.
He then ordered the skeletons to drag them into their 'secret caves' first.
Zombies are also far superior to skeletons in combat power.
Correspondingly.
The process of summoning zombies is much more cumbersome than summoning skeletons.
He needs to think long-term.
……
The body of Hesse the Arsonist is an excellent material.
In White Rock City.
Such a corpse of a third-order professional would definitely be hyped up to a high price by the necromancers.
Because it is an excellent material for crafting the high-level necromantic summon "Black Knight".
Matthew doesn't have the ability to make a Black Samurai right now.
This is after level 12.
And he hasn't even advanced yet.
The Black Samurai is still far away.
The current word.
The options in front of Matthew are as follows –
……
One, store the corpse and take it out when you have the ability to make a black knight.
Second, it will be shipped to White Rock City and sold at a high price.
Third, make a zombie and have a chance to cultivate a zombie king.
Fourth, buryed, buried in the oak forest, to see if there is a 'gift from nature'.
……
"Two and three are excluded first."
Matthew's eyes flickered.
He is very fat now, and he is not too short of money;
In addition, it is too wasteful for a third-order corpse to be a zombie, and the zombie king is not so easy to cultivate, with a 99% probability of blood loss.
And between "Black Warrior" and "Nature's Gift".
Matthew struggled for a moment.
In the end, it was still in favor of option four.
He didn't covet Hesse's abilities.
More.
He wanted to explore the mechanism of "nature's gift" in burying corpses.
"It's really not good, if you bury it and there is no news, you can dig it up again......
"Even if the integrity of the corpse decreases, the combat effectiveness of the black warrior will also be greatly reduced."
Once the decision is made.
Matthew didn't hesitate.
He found a feng shui treasure in the oak forest and buried Hesse's body.
Meanwhile.
The people killed on the farm were also housed.
The skeletons are mediocre in their ability to fight.
Coolies are quite good at it.
After finding a wasteland on the north side of the farm and burying everyone.
Matthew then freed up his hand to read the secret letter.
A few minutes later.
Matthew's face changed slightly.
……
"To like-minded people,
The odd days are a foregone conclusion, and Ucruz has awakened, watching over everyone on this continent, and in time His power will send the world to tremble.
The pattern of the world is changing, and in the near future, the fire and sea will be poured into the interior, and every land we know will be reduced to an infernal purgatory.
I have received reliable information that Ronan, the Guardian of the South, is trapped in the Astral Plane, that the Guardian of the East and the Dragon of the Sea have been defeated, that the Guardian of the West has disappeared many years ago, and that the Guardian of the North has never crossed the Trench Mountains for half a step.
Blighter, Sorcerer, Inheritor of the Way of the Necromancy, Avenger, Scarlet Hunter, Voodoo Descendant, Arsonist, Conspirator...... Don't be afraid, this is the time for our generation to rise up and practice the way of legend!
……
We have established a stronghold in the northeast of Rolling Stone, and welcome every inspired brother and sister to join in the event.
Signed: Fain, Southern Shepherd of the Scourge Order"
……
That's an excerpt from this letter.
There are also many inflammatory words in the letter, to the effect that they are encouraging all kinds of evil professions to come out and make trouble quickly, and there is quite a posture that if you don't make trouble, you won't have a chance.
Matthew is not interested in any of this.
What he cared about was.
The letter claimed to have established a stronghold north of Rolling Stone.
He will hold a blood sacrifice to please 'Juggernaut Cruise, Lord of the Void'.
And after this blood sacrifice.
He will be given the power to easily push Rolling Rock and cause the heavens to burn everything.
"Burn everything?"
Matthew's brow furrowed deeply.
This cultist named Fein is somewhat unsure of whether he is alive or dead.
So far.
The context of the truth is clear.
……
the bloody clothes in the cave;
Sieve. the kidnapping of the Blood Banner;
the arrival of the arsonists;
the oral accounts of the intercepted and killed wandering merchants and ghosts;
……
All of this points to this 'Finn' and the Scourge Order behind it!
Matthew looked at the taskbar.
Really.
After he finished reading the secret letter.
The mission has changed.
……
