……

Half a day later.

Matthew walks out of Surreel's Crystal Palace.

His body didn't look the same as before.

Only he knows.

The wrists of the left and right hands, as well as the gaps in the shoulder blades behind the back, were implanted with three imperceptible spell carriers.

The three spell carriers were the size of a little finger.

They had now become one with Matthew's subcutaneous fat, and there was not a trace of it from the outside, not even a trace of similar bruising.

And with the help of Suriel, Matthew's harmony with the spiritual power of the spell carrier also went very smoothly.

When he walked out of Surreel's workshop.

He was already able to use these three spells with ease.

The three spells are "Spell Reflection", "Body of Steel", and "Any Gate".

On the square outside the palace.

Matthew couldn't hold back the itching of his hands and made a slamming door-

Enhancing the conditioned reflex of mental instructions through the form of action coordination is also a kind of common sense in spell casting.

Many mages do this when opening any door, which does not mean that this action is necessary, but only to make it easier to awaken the relevant memories.

Magical energy completes dispatch in an instant.

A portal appeared in front of him, and the other end of the portal was a hundred meters away from the square.

The view is wide and unobstructed, so it's a great place to practice any door.

Matthew happily shuttled back and forth between the two doors.

Any Gate is actually a classic panacea spell that can be used not only for escape, but also for other purposes.

Matthew's door lasts for a full 80 seconds.

During this time, he can move around at will.

If you throw eggs and stones (throwables), fireballs, or water jets (ballistic sculpting spells) at any door, they will also be thrown from the other end.

Matthew had purchased a copy of the "Anygate Development Guide" from the Spell Library.

There are more than 300 ways to play any door.

In addition to the usual sinister use of the Door Drop spell, preparing traps behind the door, and throwing teammates at any door.

What impressed Matthew the most was the author's gameplay about the card position -

According to research, the 0.02 seconds that any door teleports to a character is considered invincibility.

Skilled mages can use this invincibility time to repeatedly get stuck with enemies, and the most basic way to use it is to enter any door first, and when the enemy also steps through the door, they will immediately drill back into it, and then close the door.

In the process, the two sides do not meet.

If you play well with your card position, you can even play with enemies repeatedly for the duration of any door.

When an enemy gets angry and starts attacking any of your doors, the Mage can shoot them as a live target.

Of course, the author also states in the guide that any door is essentially a means of escape, and if you rely on the audacity of the artist to want to show off the operation, there is also a risk of violent death.

Go through this guide.

Matthew deeply felt the selfless research spirit of the mages.

At the end of the guide, there are some tidbits from the study of any gate, the most interesting of which is this-

In order to thoroughly understand the mechanism of the Arbitrary Gate, the author, who signed Martin, recruited two volunteers, a man and a woman, to stand on either side of the Arbitrary Gate.

The man and woman were separated by a black wall, and they couldn't see anything of each other.

Martin ordered them to touch each other through any door.

The results of the experiment were quite interesting.

For a split second, the man claimed that he hadn't touched anything.

The woman insisted that the other party not only touched it, but also had a strong texture.

In fact, the two sides did meet, but that was a few seconds after the man's point of view.

The result is confusing.

In search of the truth.

Martin changed hundreds of sets of men and women, women, men and women, men and women, humans and dwarves, humans and half-elves...... and other combinations of volunteers.

Supported by experimental data in tens of thousands, Martin finally found the truth behind this delay phenomenon -

That is, the time in the vicinity of any door will be slightly distorted when a living creature enters.

The degree of time warp depends on the mass of the object entering any door.

This experiment further confirms that there is a correlation between space, time and mass.

Martin himself wrote at the end of the case:

"One of the things I'm most satisfied with is that I've found that exercising through any door is effective in extending time......

Matthew was stunned after reading it at the time.

After reading the entire guide, he suddenly realized that Loren's magic might be stillborn.

Because Matthew finally found out.

Loraine's whimsy is just a common thing for mages!

That's what they did!

And it's far more outrageous than Loren imagined!

"In the future, I will buy more of this kind of data that records the experimental process!"

"The ability of the mages of this world to innovate cannot be underestimated!"

Matthew thought to himself.

And except for any door.

The Iron Body and Spell Reflection have 10 and 5 daily uses, respectively.

Matthew is already quite happy with this number.

I'm a mage, and the Iron Body's ability to resist physical damage, if I can use up the number of times in a day, I guess I'll be out of life for a long time.

The same goes for spell reflections.

As for the remaining three spells, they need to be implanted after half a month.

Surrell tells him that it's for his body's sake.

Because Matthew is receiving spell curing for the first time, the body needs an adaptation period, and if it is cured too much at once, it may cause the body's rejection reaction.

So she split the six spells into two groups to solidify.

Matthew has no problem with that.

In order to facilitate his next visit, Suriel also gave him a third-level VIP card from the Crystal Palace.

With this card, you can ride the Alliance portal to Crystal Palace twice a month for free, no matter how far away.

After returning to the Crucible House.

Matthew told David and Margaret that he was unable to attend classes in a month because of the need to solidify spells, and hoped to move the remaining class hours to the next month.

No way.

Margaret's crash course in tactics is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part.

The theory class was already over last time.

Now it's time to get into practice.

According to Margaret, her practical classes are very intense, and a bloody battle will inevitably break out.

Matthew is okay to throw a few spells now, but he can't engage in high-intensity combat.

I can only wait for this month to pass before I can train for the rest of the course.

……

A week after that.

Rolling Stones has returned to its former tranquility.

Matthew reads the newspaper at work every day, plants trees after work, repairs graves at night, finds time to study spells, and occasionally paints oil on the Black Warrior.

The days are quiet and fulfilling.

Recently, he began to learn the third-order spells of the Necromantic Realm, and I don't know if it was because of the Undead Realm, his learning speed was so fast that he soared.

In just seven days.

Matthew managed three necromantic spells.

The first is "Mass Necromancy".

It is a group advancement of necromancy summoning and can be applied to multiple corpses (3~7) at the same time, which means that Matthew does not need to pull people one by one in the future.

This greatly increases the efficiency of the necromancer in summoning the younger brother.

The second is the "Dark Life Pact".

This is a passive spell with a support nature.

Necromancers make contracts with the supreme consciousness of the negative energy plane to increase the health of their summons.

It's more interesting.

Dark Life Contracts can be stacked repeatedly.

A layer of Dark Life Pact increases the health of all undead in Matthew's name by 1%.

Matthew has stacked 3 layers these days.

That is, +3% of the undead's health.

And the method of stacking the dark life contract is also very simple, that is, to find a place with abundant negative energy, preferably a node that can communicate with the negative energy plane, and constantly write a specific contract paper.

Matthew's cemetery has negative energy fountains, death signs, and there is no shortage of such locations.

This is also the benefit of building a cemetery early.

It is extremely helpful for cultivating many negative energy spells.

The success rate of contract writing is about 5 percent.

Matthew used papyrus paper, which was inexpensive and of poor quality, so it was easily damaged.

He estimated that if he switched to parchment or higher-grade paper, it would be more efficient, but the cost would also go up.

The Dark Life Pact is a very real spell.

Matthew intends to stack his layers as high as he can.

It's just that it is said that this spell is stacked too much, and it is easy to be counterattacked from the negative energy plane.

Every 20 layers of contracts, at least one powerful elite monster will come and attack Matthew driven by the will of the negative energy plane.

The will of the negative energy plane is not a delicate little fox like the soul of the rainforest.

Matthew has been inconvenient lately, so the stacking contract is also more convergent.

But once he regained his full combat effectiveness.

It was time for him to detect the Elite Monsters of the Negative Energy Plane.

The third spell is called "Iowa Scissors", also known as "Lethal Scissors".

The effect of this spell is to condense a large pair of negative energy scissors in the target area, and cut three times in a row at a specific space.

The damage of the first time is average, which is equivalent to a level 11 plastic spell.

The damage of the second time was much higher, almost the strength of a fourth-order shaping spell.

And the third time, it is said that the power is comparable to that of a level 20 spell, and even the head of a giant dragon can be cut off!

But here's what's special about this spell.

It is released very slowly, taking a full 20 seconds to channel, and does not benefit from any perk bonuses.

And the three consecutive cuts of the deadly scissors are also getting slower and slower.

The first time was a click on the appearance.

The second time you have to charge for 5 seconds.

The third time was even more outrageous, charging for a full 30 seconds.

In real combat, no one will stand stupidly and let you cut it.

Due to their powerful chicken rib attributes, the Deadly Scissors and the Death Canopy were ridiculed by mages as the two major traps of third-order necromancy.

Matthew also found it difficult to cut a third stroke.

He learned this spell purely because there was no other third-order necromancy spell to learn, and this spell could have an extremely high burst, and if he could use it once, it would be blood.

The content of the necromantic realm is relatively monotonous, and there are three main pieces of content:

summoning and crafting the undead;

Negative energy-related spells (various debuffs, debuffs, vampirism, instant death spells);

Ritual field magic.

Among them, negative energy-related spells are full of a lot of bloody and evil content, which is not necessarily powerful.

Matthew's current path is to focus on the undead and minor in negative energy.

Once the foundation is solid, he will advance more to ritual field magic.

He didn't forget it.

Spells are just a precursor to the realm.

The ritual field magic, which is closer to the mysteries of the realm, is the precursor ability that is more suitable for him to expand the path of legend.

……

Night.

Matthew put the bacon—no, the Black Knight—on the ground that had been brushed for ten days.

The oiling process is over.

The five black warriors in front of him were all full of color and shiny.

Individually taken out is the prototype of a small superlative.

Matthew intends to strike while the iron is hot and complete the third step -

Anti-bondage ritual.

The so-called anti-binding is to awaken the residual spirituality on the body of the black warrior through spells and rituals, and in the process, Matthew will also call the soul wandering in the present world to enter the body of the black warrior.

At this point in the ritual, the space he is in will briefly overlap with the underworld.

Matthew must use his mental power to project the Furnace of Souls, an ancient artifact that has been repeatedly remembered in his mind.

In order to attract the unconscious spirits into the body of the Black Knight.

This will further strengthen the power of the Black Warrior.

When the Black Warrior's body contains enough spirits, he will also complete the final binding and sealing in the form of a spell.

After a successful counterbond.

There will be a lot of spirituality active in the body of the Black Warrior.

They will fight each other for control of their bodies.

The consciousness that survived in the end.

It will become the dominant consciousness of the Black Warriors.

Other failed souls will become a source of power for the Black Knight.

It is precisely because the birth process of the Black Samurai is full of fighting and pain.

This kind of undead will also want to harm itself day and night after it is formed.

This instinct for self-harm can be a source of solace for his soul.

Matthew had done a lot of preparation for tonight's ceremony.

He first found an open space in the cemetery and carefully constructed all the materials, rituals, and mediums needed for the anti-binding ritual.

Secondly, he was also ready to fight.

Bing, Renysme, and even Peggy are all on standby.

His imaginary enemy is an emissary from the underworld.

The production process of the Black Warrior will slightly infringe on the authority of the underworld, although those souls are scattered in the world and no one wants them, but sometimes these petty officials who are on errands in the underworld just can't see the necromancer pick up what they don't want.

Generally speaking.

The level of the Emissary of the Underworld will not exceed level 16.

Matthew's battle should be handled calmly.

Besides.

He also held Ursul's rebuke in his hands.

This artifact is also a great threat to spirits.

Can be used just in case.

After all this preparation.

Matthew began the long chant.

The Black Warrior's counterbinding is also a type of ritual magic, but due to the exploration of the previous mages, this ritual has become very mature.

Matthew selected the least risky anti-binding ritual from the Alliance's arsenal of spells.

I have to admit that the quality of the spells that have been tested by the alliance is high.

Although Matthew was the first time.

But it's also very smooth to chant over and over again.

In the twinkling of an eye.

With the ringing of bells.

The corpses of the five Black Samurai began to glow faintly green.

This green glow was even brighter when the potion of strong colors had been prepared in advance.

This step allows the necromancer to better determine the gathering of spirits.

When a black samurai green glows.

It's almost time to wrap up.

There is wind blowing through the cemetery from underground caves.

The bell is tinkling.

Matthew was nervous.

Keep an eye on the changes around you.

And with the passage of time.

The Soul Casting Furnace he projected also began to slowly dissipate.

Half an hour later.

Even the last of the black warriors shone green.

Matthew suddenly began to sing the sealing incantation.

Another three minutes passed.

The magic circle beneath his feet slowly dissipated.

All media and materials are also sublimated into powders.

Counter-binding success!

Matthew looked at the five black warriors full of spirituality, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"How did it succeed? No one from the underworld to bother? ”

Matthew was a little incredulous.

But this smooth sailing calm is exactly what he expected.

It didn't take long.

He set up the Black Knights.

Only by waiting for the final spirituality to be decided, he will be able to use the Spell Seal Ritual to strengthen his spirituality and abilities.

The final confession of the Lord just comes naturally.

Because throughout the making process of the Black Knight.

Matthew has developed an inseparable relationship with them.

The cost of making a black warrior is indeed too high, including not only the cost of time and materials, but also the cost of emotions and energy.

Take the Necromancer's summons.

I'm afraid it's worse than killing him.

Think of it.

Matthew couldn't help but think of rebelling against this god-level again.

He groaned and opened the Minotaur Realm.

Previously.

He's amassed enough elements from Rhaegar to get it.

Now it's time to open up again!

……

"Hint: You're in the process of opening up the Minotaur realm, please choose the direction to open up—

1. Horizontal development (get more elements, get involved in more interdisciplinary fields)

2. Longitudinal development (select a certain element and dig deeper)"

……

Matthew thought about it for a while, and in such a small field as the Minotaur, it is still necessary to take the route of small and fine.

Blind expansion is not advisable.

If it expands into other chaotic areas, it will lose its purity.

So he chose to open up vertically, and the element chose plunder.

……

"Successful development, as a pioneer in the Minotaur realm, you will gain two of the following three abilities-

1. Strengthen the rebellion (Your innate spellcasting ability has been strengthened, and the effect has been increased to-

When you successfully rebel against an undead, if there are other undead of the same type around him, he will succeed in rebelling against another one at random.

This enhancement cannot be stacked with Continuous Countermeasures. ）

2. Hunting Mark (you can mark a certain type of creature as your prey, and within 72 hours, this type of creature will appear in your field of vision if it comes within 300 meters of you, and it will appear perspective and highlight in your field of vision)

3. Steal (When you steal or rob, you get extra attribute points; And every time you succeed in stealing or robbing, you'll get a lot of XP)."

……

"If the plundering realm continues to dig deeper, will it really develop on the evil side?"

"And there seems to be a certain intersection between plunder and hunting."

Matthew thought thoughtfully.

If he chooses two of the above three abilities, he will undoubtedly be excluded from the trick.

It's good to strengthen the rebellion.

The Hunting Mark is also quite useful.

Forget it, he's not someone who likes to steal from others.

Completed the field development.

Matthew gets up and moves his muscles.

The cemetery is very lively at night.

Recently, not only are the skeleton soldiers dancing hip twisting every day, but this trend is gradually spreading to zombies.

When Matthew passes by a zombie carrying a tombstone on his back.

The latter actually bent over and twisted his hip twice.

Matthew was speechless.

I wonder what medium the tide among the undead spread.

And in the process of inspecting the cemetery.

Matthew also found that many zombies had swollen faces.

There is no doubt that this is the handiwork of Renysme.

Just as he was about to go back and reprimand, he was stunned.

Matthew passed by the Ghost Zone.

When the ghost wolves saw their owners passing by, they immediately pounced enthusiastically, and turned back and forth one by one like Erha.

At this time.

Elite ghost Ali floated over.

He said respectfully to Matthew:

"Good evening, my lord. It just so happens that I have something to look for you, and speaking of which, I have lived in the cemetery for so many days, and I can feel your kindness every day. My people and I have nothing to repay but to share with you some of the discoveries we have made along the way, and if you can put them to use, it would be better. ”

Matthew thought to himself, this guy finally couldn't help it.

It is estimated that there are tombstones for skeletons and zombies, and I can't hang on my face when I eat and drink for nothing every day.

Finally, I was willing to offer something.

He asked quietly on the surface:

"What information?"

Ali Dao:

"We passed through a lot of dungeons during our wanderings, and along the way, I found an open-pit sulphur mine, as well as a very hidden silver mine."

"The sulphur mine is not far from the cemetery."
