……

The Heart of Nature and the Way of Immortality

These are the names of the two systems that complete the seamless hybridization in Matthew's body.

From the very beginning, Matthew's goal was to reconcile the two, at least to remove the watermarks that overlapped infinitely on each other.

However, both concepts are too big.

Matthew wants to complete the fusion of the Heart of Nature and the Way of Immortality at least.

in this world.

All concepts are artificially given, and many of them have changed and distorted to this day.

Behind this is the alternation and change of power.

As far as Matthew knows.

Some High Legends and Gods have direct "editorial power".

That means as long as you're strong enough.

You can force the whole world to accept your point of view.

You can point to the sun and say that it is the moon, or you can easily point to a deer as a horse and say that a ghost is a human.

The realm is no different from the Internet encyclopedia in front of the real powerhouse.

It's just an object to be ravaged and written about at will.

Of course.

The premise of all this is logically self-consistent.

If it is too blunt, it is very likely to encounter resistance from the pan-consciousness of the plane.

And for Matthew.

He had conceptually prepared for that step early on, and all that was lacking was strength.

Fortunately, the communication in the ceremonial arena is not a change in the world.

The influence of the field deed is only in Matthew's own acre and three-point land.

So he can play to his heart's content.

Therefore, in the first paragraph of the deed, he boldly gave new definitions to some fields according to his own ideas.

He interprets "immortality" as a realm that transcends death, and assigns the realm of "eternity" to this realm to increase its momentum.

This is his supreme pursuit in an ideal situation.

It is the ultimate person who transcends the existence of the god of death—

All beings withered and I didn't die, so much so.

Later, Matthew elevated the concept of "nature" infinitely, to the point that it was enough to encompass all things, and even included part of "death", and the field of "life" was directly swallowed up.

Nature is the most unique concept.

The chaos of heaven and earth in the Dark Ages was nature, the animism of the Enlightenment was also nature, and the idyllic songs of the Age of Exile were nature.

If one day Eindo enters the era of industrialization, why can't the roar of machinery and high-rise buildings be called nature?

And in the subsequent instructions.

Matthew also introduced the concepts of "microorganisms", "spores", "fungi", and "decomposers".

As decomposers, parasites, and transformers, microorganisms are an indispensable part of building the framework of nature and death.

The living die and turn into corpses, which are decomposed by microorganisms and turned into elements of life and returned to the earth.

It's part of the intersection of life and death.

The living die, turn into corpses, the corpses are awakened into the undead, the undead will die again one day, it will also be disposed of by the decomposers and returned to nature.

This means that the undead are not the natural opposites.

It's a continuation of nature!

This is one of the core tenets of the Spore Society, and it is also in line with Matthew's understanding of the spore field.

And so it goes.

Life and death are blended and transformed into each other.

The "undead" belonging to the realm of death is the continuation of "life" belonging to the realm of nature.

Matthew's big frame is partially complete.

The second deed.

He applied this theory to "oaks", "spores" and "immortals".

With theoretical guidance.

It is also a matter of course to apply the formula to the interpretation of specific cases.

Soon.

The boulder was covered with dense words.

After writing the second paragraph, Matthew could sense that the collision of the elements of the two ritual fields had become more intense.

This is a good sign.

At worst, it will be ignored entirely.

There are reactions, both positive and negative.

All of them show that the deed of the field they write is stimulating to them.

All that's left is to increase the excitement.

Matthew took a break.

Then he finished writing the third part of the pact on the stone.

Accompany this process.

Matthew could feel the realm inside him gradually becoming restless.

He held his breath, refreshed his focus, and wrote the final note in one go.

After a few seconds.

He checks the text completely.

Then inject a little mana into the boulder.

The magical words on the boulder flickered like fluorescent, and for a moment, they seemed to fly off the surface of the stone.

That moment.

A golden tree has once again appeared in the cemetery!

The World Tree also hung the magnificent Dark Moon!

But the vision lasted less than half a second.

Bang!

After a soft sound.

The boulder collapsed inward, shattering into stones in the blink of an eye!

"Huh?"

"Not recognized by the natural realm?"

The sudden change caught Matthew off guard.

He was slightly startled.

But then he reacted:

"No, the will of nature is recognized, as are the realm of the undead and the realm of spores."

He focused on it for a moment.

Soon after.

There's finally a reaction on the data bar.

……

"Hint: The stone you have chosen cannot withstand the contents of the Deed of Realms!

Domain Contract: You have completed the initial communication between domains.

There is a slight overlap between your realms "Oaks, Spores, Undead......

……

It turned out to be a material issue.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

The stone he had chosen was already a very strong one, but it still couldn't withstand the level required by the Realm Pact, and it seemed that he had to find a more advanced carrier.

"The stubborn stone of purgatory, the bamboo heart of the celestial bamboo, and the base of the legendary scroll made of real dragon skin tanning......"

The prices of several high-grade materials flashed through Matthew's mind.

His heart couldn't help but ache slightly.

But at this time.

The changes from within him attracted more of his attention.

Matthew suddenly "saw" his internal organs very clearly, saw the blood flowing in the blood vessels, and saw the heart pumping a large amount of blood powerfully.

He saw the negative energy and life energy evenly stored in his organs, which were blended with his mana, regardless of each other.

He saw the mental power concentrated in the back of his brain.

He saw eleven balls of light revolving around his body.

These balls of light can be large or small, and vary in color.

Only when his "gaze" is focused on the ball of light can he clearly see the floating points of light inside, they are-

Oak, Undead, Temperance, Dragon Slaying, Plague, Transfiguration, Minotaur, Grave, Erodation, Spore.

and "Balance"!

Before he knew it, Matthew had already entered eleven realms.

That's more than the basic needs of an advanced legend.

Legend's demand for the field can be roughly divided into three levels:

The first tier, single or dual realm legends, this situation usually requires you to become a realm veteran and accumulate enough on the path of legends, plus the higher ecological niche in the upper realm is not occupied by anyone, you can be promoted to legend.

But this saga is often considered a type of water saga.

A single domain means that it is not comprehensive enough, that there is a lack of change, and that it is easy to catch weaknesses and kill them.

More than seventy percent of the legends recorded in the history of the alliance are water legends in single or double realms.

The second gear is a legend in three fields.

The third gear, the legend of the six fields.

It is said that the second tier has a more than five times the enhancement coefficient of the first tier when promoting to legend.

And because the third gear is relatively rare, there is not much news coming out.

Matthew only knew that the minimum requirement for the Guardians of the Four Directions of the Alliance was "Legend of the Three Realms", while the requirement for the three major Mages of Tongtian was "Legend of the Six Realms".

This means that Surrell and Isabel are both ruthless in third gear.

Among them, Isabel was revealed by Ecmond to be a master of all fields.

Matthew estimates that she will not have less than eight legendary realms in her hands.

It can be said that in terms of the number of fields, Matthew has accumulated enough capital.

But on the one hand, he knows that his path is different from others, although he also uses the field as a tool, but Matthew's equilibrium approach requires much more tools than others.

Correspondingly, he is far inferior to others in terms of depth of field.

Therefore, he must further explore the potential of the existing field while expanding the boundaries of the field.

On the other hand, the more realms there are, the stronger the power after being promoted to the legend, and the greater the resistance you will encounter when you are promoted.

This is almost a mage's general knowledge.

And the only way to better face these resistances is to accumulate.

Accumulation is always the first criterion for mages to advance.

That strange perspective lasted about a minute and a half.

Matthew eventually saw that the three realms of the oak, the undead, and the spores were glued together, and from a plane perspective, they resembled three rings.

The rest of the circles are still relatively scattered.

Only the latest equilibrium circles are very active.

It actively touches all fields, and although it bounces off quickly in most cases, this does not change its active nature.

When Matthew's peculiar perspective ends.

I saw the balanced ball bumping between fields like a bouncy ball.

Kind of like -

A courtesan who has been rejected everywhere but is still trying?

……

"Hint: You have completed the communication of "Oaks, Undead and Spores" using the "Realm Pact", and you have a chance to enter the "Equilibrium Realm"!

In return for your involvement in the field, you gain the trait "Introsight" of the Equilibrium Field.

Inner Vision: You can see the changes in energy, domains, elements, etc. in the body from the perspective of God. (Available once a day)

In addition, you will also gain one of the following three abilities –

1. Flower Bush Veteran (you can always evenly and delicately grasp the time, energy and love given to each person of the opposite sex, and you can greatly reduce their disgust when they know each other)

2. Apothecary Warlock (you will get detailed recipes for several potions, +20 for your knowledge of herbs, +20 for your potions knowledge, and gain the ability "Elementary Alchemy")

3. Go hand in hand (every time you enter one more domain, the integration speed of other domain elements is +3%/domain stability +3%)."

……

"Although the domain contract did not fully take effect, it finally entered the equilibrium field, and it can be regarded as a gain."

Matthew looks back and forth between the three domain competencies with emotion.

A moment of hesitation.

He chose "3".

In fact, Matthew has considered the "Apothecarcer", this ability seems to be very practical, and it gives a lot of knowledge;

However, "going hand in hand" is too suitable for Matthew now.

He has many fields and little time, so it is impossible to do everything.

If you want to maximize the potential of the domain, you have to rely on the automatic integration of domain elements.

This ability can alleviate the contradiction between quantity and quality, and there is really no reason not to take it.

As for the "Flower Bush Veteran".

Matthew thinks it's better to leave it to those in need!

Besides.

The equilibrium realm also gives Matthew a permanent state.

"Gymnast: +10 for your balance (+3 for climbing, jumping, running, swimming, gymnastics, horseback riding, etc.)"

Nice ability.

At least Matthew will be able to better protect himself when riding Pegasus and Nightmares in the future.

"Speaking of which, I still have to buy two good saddles, Pegasus is already a very difficult mount, but it is still a little uncomfortable."

"When the Oak Chamber of Commerce returns some of the funds, I will go to Old Fallon and ask for two sets of saddles, and by the way, settle the accounts of Ah Bing and Renysme."

Matthew stretched and left the mushroom garden.

Although the Realm Pact was not completely successful, the two ceremonial arenas no longer had the tense atmosphere they had before.

This can be clearly perceived from the entrance of the cemetery where Matthew stands at the junction of the ceremonial grounds.

He descended slowly down the stone staircase that had been carved out of the entrance.

Compared to before.

With the blessing of "gymnast".

He's walking noticeably more steadily.

But the makeshift staircase is a bit too steep.

"If only we could set up an elevator here, like a crucible house, from the cemetery to the canopy of the World Tree."

Matthew shook his head in thought.

He had previously asked about the price of the Tower Spirit 177 Magic Elevator.

That's a number he can't afford.

"Speaking of which, there is still a lack of money."

Matthew suddenly began to wonder when the next group of Alliance Mage Visiting Group would come!

Right now.

He suddenly noticed Sinwak sleeping by the stone staircase.

Since the completion of the work of opening the cemetery.

The trolls don't have anything else to do except moan Matthew's tombstones.

Now he is more nourishing than anywhere else.

Get a good night's sleep every day.

There is also vegetarian food to eat when you are hungry.

This made Matthew a little worried about his health:

"Are you going to arrange some exercise for him?"

Say.

Human-powered elevators?

The thought had just crossed Matthew's mind.

Suddenly, a human shouted in the dungeon outside the cemetery:

"Hey, Matthew, it's time for you, I lost the rock you gave me, uh, can you let me in?"

"I don't dare trespass, I'm afraid those zombies will bite me."

Matthew glanced at him, and the cemetery was opened.

The person who came was wearing a mine suit, with a white crystal spotlight on his forehead, and his face was very white.

He was an official sent by Rhaegar to preside over the development of the sulphur mines, and he had several previous relationships with Matthew.

His name is Paton, the second son of Lady Liz and the younger brother of Captain Brad, the captain of the garrison, who had previously served as a tax collector in the northern part of the town, but eventually recuperated at home after a conflict with the villagers over a peculiar incident of willow disease.

Recently, his health has improved dramatically, and it just so happens that the mining of sulfur ore needs trustworthy manpower.

So Rhaegar asked him to come over and help Matthew take care of the matter.

As for the development of the sulphur mine, it is now in the implementation stage of the project.

At the specific level, in addition to sending Paton over to preside over the overall situation, Rolling Rock officials also recruited more than a dozen workers in the name of the city hall.

Matthew, on his part, sent more than forty zombies to guard and patrol.

Zombies are very good at this, but when it comes to sorting, transporting, and even refining ores, they don't expect anything at all.

The current process is for eight workers assigned to the mine to sort the sulphur ore in the open pit onto a vehicle.

The cars were then escorted by Parton through an underground passage to a former factory in the Gold Prospector Basin.

The remaining workers were also placed here to complete the initial extraction of the sulphur ore, and further refining.

The extraction of sulfur ore is not complicated, and the sulfur ore discovered by Matthew is extremely pure and only needs to be extracted simply, so there are not too many difficulties in the equipment and process.

This sulphur is produced, and eventually there are three directions of transport.

The first is Matthew's cemetery, where sulfur is an essential material for the production of fiery glue and Molotov cocktails.

However, the arsonists are not very enthusiastic about making related props, and the need for sulfur is small, so there is a lot of redundancy.

The remaining two directions are the Rolling Stones Chamber of Commerce in Rhaegar and the Oak Chamber of Commerce in Matthew.

The former is responsible for the sales in the north.

The latter, in turn, was responsible for selling the sulphur to the south.

Generally.

Rhaegar is still very righteous.

He came forward again and again in this process, but for the sulfur mine after deducting operating costs and labor costs, the final benefit.

He's still only 10 percent.

That's a very low number.

Normally, all the wealth in the territory belongs to the lord himself, and even if others find any minerals and develop them with the lord, the lord naturally has the ownership of the minerals.

The current example in the south is the three-seven cent.

It is very normal for the lord to take 70% of the proceeds.

But Rhaegar is different.

Not only is he generous to Matthew, but he also treats everyone else equally.

More than ten years ago, when the mining industry in the Gold Digger Basin was booming, the condition that Leijia gave the owners of those mines was to take 20%~30% of the profits.

Because of this, the town of Rolling Rock was overheated during that time, and the original name of the land was forgotten and replaced by the gold digger basin, which has a more contemporary background.

"How's it going at the factory? Is the first shipment out? Do I need to send more undead to maintain order? ”

Matthew asked.

Little Parton waved his hand:

"Everything is fine, the first batch will be delivered in two days, and the purity is very positive. The workers were scared of the undead at first, but now they trust your zombies, thanks to my deliberate arrangement. ”

"Deliberate arrangement?"

Matthew looked at little Paton suspiciously.

The latter smiled:

"I found two wild boars, and I wanted to scare them, but before I could get closer, I was driven away by your undead."

"In this way, the workers have a certain trust in the undead."

Matthew frowned slightly, and while Paton's plan worked, he felt it might also exacerbate the panic among the workers.

So he reminded:

"Next time, tell me in advance."

Little Parton shrugged:

"Okay, you're the boss, I'll listen to you."

"I came to you because of the mines—

According to the workers who remained at the mine, they had already picked up a piece of sulfur ore.

The next morning, in the same place, a similar amount, or even more ore, will appear.

Although this phenomenon is a good thing for us, the workers always find it strange.

I had done my best to reassure them, but last night there was a whining sound in the mines, like the grinding of the wind as it blew through a hole.

A worker came to me this morning and said that he didn't want to do it anymore, mainly because he was a little scared.

I think I'll have to report this to you.

After all, you found the mine, do you know what that's all about? ”

Matthew groaned when he heard this:

"I probably know what's going on, so I'll go to the mine myself tonight and see if I can solve the problem at the root cause."
