……

Deep in the oak forest.

Four stones engraved with the emblems of wind, earth, water, and fire enclose a tall oak tree in the center.

Now.

The oak tree glowed white all over its body.

Its canopy is spread wider than other oak trees.

A divine aura spread from it.

This is the natural medium that Eli and Obest use to construct the sanctuary of life.

The oak tree itself is a symbol of nature.

It is also logical to use the oak tree as a medium for the sanctuary of life.

Similar to the fountain in the cemetery that communicates with the negative energy plane, this oak tree also bears the burden of communicating with the natural realm.

Through it, the elements of life flow into the earth where the oak forest is located.

Flowers and trees that can coexist with oak forests will also appear in the forest.

Matthew could already have foreseen the moment when his oak grove would come alive and the birds would be singing!

But now is not the time to soak up the wonderful atmosphere of the sanctuary of life.

Matthew walked briskly past Eli and the centaur.

He entered the sanctuary, pressed his hands on the medium of nature, and turned back and said:

"Take the reins and give it to me."

Eli has no comments:

"It was yours."

"I activated it with the Oak Realm."

His oak field comes from Matthew.

This made Matthew take over extremely smoothly and go in all at once.

Obest stood silently, looking like he had something to order.

"It's too close, and the two ritual fields are still clashing."

After becoming the master of the sanctuary of life.

As soon as Matthew sensed it, he determined that the two ceremonial fields were adding to each other's weight-for-tat.

The cemetery is on the land bordered by oak forests.

The clash of forces in the ritual field almost caused the air in that area to distort slightly.

Life energy and negative energy hedge wildly.

And so it goes.

Both ritual fields will quickly run out of energy.

Matthew had to step in to coordinate.

At the moment, he activated the class characteristics of the Equalization Emissary-

"Supreme Harmony"!

This trait is usually used to reconcile internal power imbalances, but now that the two ritual fields are under Matthew's control, the principles of reconciliation are naturally highly similar.

A moment later.

Matthew felt as if he was in the place of conflict in the ceremonial arena.

Forces from all sides almost crushed him!

"Calm down!"

"Relax!"

"Obedient~"

The first time he dealt with the conflict between the ritual fields, Matthew didn't have much experience to learn from, so he could only coax the instinctive spirituality of the ritual arena like a child.

But this move has had little effect.

Half an hour passed.

Caught in the middle, Matthew was dizzy.

The lively sanctuary of life and the grim cemetery did not give him much face.

Far from easing the conflict in the ceremonial arena, the conflict has a tendency to intensify.

"Pure harmony really doesn't work."

Matthew took a half-step back and pondered:

"Isabel said that there is no point in balancing two forces, and that balancing all things is truly equilibrium."

"This may not be what I first understood."

"If everything is balanced, where is there still balance, isn't that above all things?"

Follow this line of thought.

He tried to convey his will with supreme tone and said:

"Stop it!"

"If you don't stop it, I'll just dismantle it!"

As soon as this signal is issued.

The two ceremonial arenas that had just been fighting suddenly became gentle.

Although there is still an undercurrent at the border between the two sides.

But it's so much better than before!

"Hint: If the initial mediation is successful, your "Coordination" element +5!

+10 for your "Threat"!

If you have detected that you have accumulated enough relevant elements, do you enter the realm of "balance" as "coordination" and "threat"?"

"There is still an element of "threat" in the way of equilibrium?"

Matthew thought about it, too, if he is not strong enough, how can he balance everything?

Whether it is a threat or a coordination, it is only a means to achieve a balanced goal.

As long as he can distinguish between these, then his legendary path will not be crooked.

This time, however, he still rejected the idea of equilibrium with these two elements.

Matthew could feel it.

This remains an incomplete equilibrium area.

He wants to accumulate the elements more comprehensively and break through them in one fell swoop.

The equilibrium realm is very important to Matthew, and he doesn't want his realm to be imperfect in the future due to impatience!

"Hint: If you detect that there is still friction at the edge of the two ceremonial arenas, do you consume 10 points of "coordination" to ensure that the ceremonial arenas are safe in the short term?

Consumption success!

Your ceremonial ground: The cemetery completes further coordination with the sanctuary of life, and forms a temporary "elemental depression" with the bordering grounds.

You've done a deeper level of coordination, and you've got +10 for the coordination element!

There are very small signs of element circulation in the element depression.

+1 to your cycling element!"

"Perpetual motion machine, huh?"

Matthew felt the harmony of going and returning.

But what surprised him the most was the further compromise reached between the two ceremonial venues.

They form a circular element depression at the entrance to the cemetery.

There are very few elements there, but the only remaining elements actually show signs of cyclic transformation, which is a scene that can only happen at the element layer!

The emergence of circular elements means that the road of great coordination is possible.

The next thing to do is to see Matthew's efforts.

Present.

Matthew calmly opened his eyes.

Obest suddenly pointed in the direction of the World Tree in surprise and said loudly:

"Look!"

Matthew looked in the direction he was directing.

But I saw that on the branches of the World Tree, a full moon of gray fluttering appeared.

The full moon was exactly the same as what Matthew had seen on the negative energy plane.

It hangs like an ornament from the branches of the World Tree.

It doesn't look obtrusive at all.

Meanwhile.

A whining wind came from the entrance to the cemetery.

Matthew hurriedly walked over, and there was a golden light underneath him—

Just near the negative energy fountain, a golden oak tree rose from the ground, and its body sparkled, illuminating this underground space transparently!

That moment.

Matthew only felt that the undead and the oak realm on his body trembled slightly!

……

"Hint: The resonance and fluctuations of the ritual field and realm have created two visions, the "Stygian Moon" and the "Golden Tree", which will be captured by the following people-

1. Farm area and residents who play an active part in the neighborhood.

2. Bards who perceive above 18 and are in the South.

3. Spellcasters who are proficient in prophecy.

……

Your friend "Singer of Dusk: Loraine" intercepts this vision and uses "Ability: Statement Far" on it.

Because there are no bigger events happening in the near future.

Your vision has spread quickly, and a new group of people have been added who can capture it—

4. Gods and creatures of the outer planes who are concerned about the lands of the South.

5. Editors of Alliance Weekly.

Your enemies, the Lord of the Evil Spirits: Omadoki, the Great Demon Trier, and the Queen of Evil, have paid attention to this vision;

Your follower "Queen of Midnight (Arcane Wilds/Elven Overlord)" intercepted this vision, and she, pleased with the content, distributed the message in the form of a telematica to the rest of the Arcane Wilds;

Your follower "Moonlight Goddess: Athea" intercepted this vision, and she easily shared the content of the vision to Tianlun Palace;

Your friend "Spirit of the Rainforest: Suya" intercepts this vision;

Your buddy "Bobo. Wilkins "intercepted the vision through the "Wizard's Steel Crystal Ball";

……

The visions of the Stygian Moon and the Golden Tree were widely spread.

+1 for your World Legend (Aindo)!

You have exceeded one of the prerequisites for Legendary Path: Perfect Promotion: Fame."

……

It's numb.

General anesthesia.

Matthew never expected that he would just squat at home to plant trees and repair graves, and by the way, let his younger brother help build a ceremony field, and make such a big battle!

"Loraine!"

"He wouldn't think I'd thank him!"

Matthew had a terrible headache.

Although even if Loren did not contribute to the trouble, this abrupt vision would surely attract widespread attention.

But the process will at least be a little gentler than it is now.

However, today's data column is particularly active.

Before Matthew could digest the information in front of him, something new came in an instant.

……

"Hint: Based on your world-class lore, you're first in the realm of 'celebrity'.

In return for your involvement in the field, you will gain two of the following three abilities –

1. Scream back (If you burst out with a scream, you can take at least three steps back from all living creatures.) The effect of retreat depends on the level of your reputation, and the higher your reputation, the stronger your ability to retreat. ）

2. Girl nemesis (as a world-class celebrity, you can gain the unconditional support of girls by telling or even boasting about your deeds, even if it turns out that what you say does not match the facts, it will not affect your magnificent image in their hearts)

3. World events (you will initially master the ability to capture world-class, regional-level visions, that is, when an event occurs in a certain place that is enough to affect the fate of the world or the regional situation, you will have a certain chance of obtaining relevant information or clues)"

……

All right.

It seems that the world-class lore is not all bad news.

Lose one of the three abilities.

Matthew undoubtedly chose to lose "Girl Buster".

He had no interest in it.

The other two abilities are useful in their own right.

The former is a useful defensive ability that can be used to push away those who rush into it.

Compared to defensive spells.

"Shouting back" is based on the release of the voice, as long as the voice is shouted, it will take effect immediately, which is more in line with human instinct than protective spells.

The latter, on the other hand, gives Matthew the ability to resemble Loren's gossip or catch the wind.

Of course, his ability must be much worse than Lorain's, after all, this is a primary field ability, and the bard eats this bowl of rice professionally.

In addition to two areas of competence.

The celebrity realm also gave Matthew a permanent status.

"Celebrity Effect: As a world-class celebrity, you will get a higher value in related areas such as negotiation, bluffing, and intimidation."

This ability makes it easier for Matthew to persuade, deceive, and even scare his enemies.

It is the shadow of the so-called name tree of man.

Fame is still very effective for the blessing of daily skills.

Matthew came to his senses.

Eli and Obest were still immersed in surprise.

Fortunately, the Stygian Moon on the World Tree and the Golden Tree in the Necropolis have all disappeared.

Otherwise, the vision would have hung there all day long.

Matthew really had to find a place to hide.

The next period of time.

He couldn't be more low-key.

Every day, in addition to planting trees and building graves, I don't even touch the ceremonial field.

He spends most of his time in the cemetery.

Go out for a walk once in a while.

It's also to check if the arsonists who have just moved into the dungeon are doing well, whether the food is fragrant, and whether they are seriously making fiery glue.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the beginning of June.

The turmoil caused by that vision was not as great as Matthew had imagined.

These days, there are some good people outside the oak forest who come to see the excitement.

But they were all driven away by the mighty and tall Eli and Obest.

It's rumored there.

Rhaegar told him about the vision in the weekly League report.

The residents of Rolling Rock are not so enthusiastic about it.

Maybe it's because the legend of the man-eating tree is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

All in all.

It seems to have passed like that.

Matthew reasoned afterwards that in the end they were only concerned with the Stygian Moon and the Golden Tree.

I may have been seen by the way.

Big things happen every day in this world.

I don't know if the next day these people will focus on other things.

The fact that Rolling Rock has been calm so far is a testament to this.

Think of it.

Matthew's heart finally settled.

Two more days passed.

The five black warriors not only completed the counterbondage, but even the spell seal ceremony made Matthew, who stayed in the cemetery every day, take time to do it.

The afternoon of the day.

Matthew intends to perform a final confession on them.

In fact, the ritual of confessing the Lord is the simplest.

After the entire production process of the Black Warrior, he and the undead have accumulated a deep tacit understanding.

The confession ceremony was just a way to make Matthew remember all the traits of Matthew through the dripping of blood, the contract, and the burning of hair and nails.

The whole ceremony was done in one go.

Less than thirty minutes.

The five Black Warriors knelt down on one knee in front of Matthew.

One by one, the spirituality in them awakened.

Look at the strong black warriors.

Matthew was deeply comforted.

He began to inquire about the attributes and abilities of the Black Warriors one by one.

The first thing to look at is naturally a black warrior transformed from a half-dragon spell swordsman.

……

"Dark Priest (Half-Dragon/Black Knight/LV15)

Normal Attack: Ball of Darkness (The right hand condenses a magic ball containing negative energy and shoots it towards the target)

List of Competencies –

-

Powerful Resurrection (When the Dark Clergy is completely destroyed, he will have a chance to respawn, after which his health will be restored to 50%) (Immortal Fountain Effect) -

Dark Leader (Elite template, in the process of making the Black Knight, due to the accident of spiritual integration, the Dark Priest who awakened early transformed three dragon-blooded warriors into his own servants of darkness.

The Servant of Darkness has a similar template to the Dark Clergy, that is, the normal attack is a dark orb, and it is good at spells and cluster spells, and has some melee ability, but it is not trustworthy;

The Dark Clergy can convert more Dark Knights into Servants of Darkness, up to a maximum of ten;

The Dark Priest can command the Servants of Darkness unconditionally;

The Dark Cleric possesses a certain leadership temperament and commanding ability;

The Dark Clergy has the potential to evolve into a heroic template. ）-

Xenoweapon Mastery (Dark Clergy specializes in xenomorph weapons such as giant crosses, flails, and scythes) -

Dark Spells (The Dark Clergy will use the following spells: Negative Energy Healing, Mass Negative Energy Healing, Spurring, Dark Space, Veil of the Sky, Death Orb, Cursed Eye, Blast Wind, Dark Shield, Spell Shift Position, etc.)

……

Look at it.

The smile on Matthew's face faded.

He had long expected that the black warrior transformed into a half-dragon spell swordsman might be a partial method.

But he didn't expect it at all.

This guy actually secretly awakened his spirituality, not to mention that he became a law system, and he also turned the other three dragon blood warriors into law units!

Matthew took a look.

The attributes of the Servant of Darkness are very mediocre, there is no flesh at all, and the melee ability is also a scum.

If you want to say how strong their spells are, they are not necessarily more powerful than Matthew.

The only advantage is that their spells don't cost money, as long as the negative energy is sufficient, and there is no daily cast limit.

Furthermore.

When more than three or more Servants of Darkness gather together and are led by the Dark Priest.

They were given the ability to unleash two types of cluster spells.

The two cluster spells are "Dark Matrix" and "Teleportation".

The Dark Matrix is a powerful ritual field-like spell that is primarily used to seal, weaken, contain, and imprison enemies;

The short-distance teleportation technique is even more useful, and it can teleport up to 30 kilometers away.

Belonging is a spell with some strategic significance.

In fact, putting aside Matthew's obsession with meat shields.

The configuration of the Dark Clergy and the Servant of Darkness is quite good, not to mention that the one who advances has the potential to evolve into a hero.

"But I just want a haven that sheltered from the wind and rain, is it really that hard?"

Matthew had a bad premonition.

Walked towards the last of the Black Warriors.

He was transformed from a Boar Man warrior.

This guy can't be a legal system, right?

……

"Dark Berserker (Boar Man/Black Samurai/LV14)

Normal Attack: Swing the Axe (Equip the corresponding weapon)

List of Competencies –

Innate Berserker (Passive) (Dark Berserker's armor is reset to zero and gains a 200% bonus to physical damage)"

……

Okay.

It's really not a legal system.

However, it is a crispy frenzy with high offense and zero defense!

Matthew wasn't interested in reading the rest of the story.

He looked at the undead who surrounded him with some loss.

One by one, they looked at Matthew innocently or blankly.

"Forget it, I don't blame you."

Matthew thought for a moment.

The mentality is relieved.

"Maybe I really don't have the fate to have a meat shield."

"In that case."

"Just make me the strongest meat shield in the team!"

He wondered if he should give himself a few necromancy or protective passive spells.

The effects of these spells are far less effective than the products of spell ability.

But it's better than nothing.

Just as Ma was considering this aspect of the Eightfold Classic.

Since its inception to the present, the negative energy road mark, which has never moved, has suddenly moved.

In a flash.

A space-time rift from the negative energy plane appeared near the target.

A heavily armored figure, covered in green fire, and holding a huge shield, appeared in front of Matthew.

……

"Hint: Your negative energy signifier has worked.

Argus (LV17), the shield of the Strange Mountain from the negative energy plane, has been inspired by the Dao Sign, and has come to you.

But to gain Argus' loyalty, you must pass his test."

……

The next second.

Argus placed the massive bone shield on the ground and hooked his fingers at Matthew.

He made a hoarse voice:

"Come, up, front, hit me."

……
