……

Access to the realm is a wonderful thing.

Rao is that Matthew has been in and out of so many fields, and it is difficult to accurately summarize their commonalities.

Some fields are enthusiastic and unrestrained, while others are as cold as icebergs.

In terms of access speed and degree of exploration, there are also differences between domains.

Some realms are gentle, and Matthew can choose when to enter, such as the "Necromancy" that he has just developed, and he is still grinding outside the door;

In some fields, monkeys are in a hurry, and they often pull people into it without saying anything.

The field of "contracts" is representative of this type of field.

Matthew not only goes in fast, but also comes out fast.

In just a flash of effort, a lot of knowledge about the contract popped up in his mind.

In addition, his sensitivity to contract rules has also increased dozens of times.

Nothing else is a special experience.

His attention returned to the three options in front of him.

Choose two out of three.

It's simpler.

First of all, the "Contract Supremacy" must be won, which is a cornerstone ability that can greatly expand the scope of the contract field.

There you have it.

Matthew can also rely on the realm of contracts in the main material realm to achieve some ulterior purposes.

Of course, Matthew, who has a deep knowledge of the field of contracts, knows that "contracts above all else" is itself a lie.

The contract itself is full of loopholes.

Hell if you can really be above all else.

It is a well-known fact that devils are born to be masters of playing with words.

When they sign a contract with humans, they always set traps in some inconspicuous corner, so that the signer of the contract can jump into a fire pit from which they will never recover.

Because there are so many cases like this.

So much so that people have a stereotype of the devil -

This evil race from purgatory has always appeared in people's imagination as a gentleman.

It's as if the devil will only calmly discuss contracts and deals with you.

As long as you can resist greed and restrain your desires, you will always be invincible in the confrontation with the devil.

But in fact, this could not be more wrong.

The devil will only negotiate deals and make contracts with powerful people in peace.

And in the face of the weak.

They will not hesitate to show their most hideous faces, and quickly eat them clean.

In the matter of bullying.

The devil is no worse than the next-door neighbors, the demons.

The contract is just one of the tools the devil uses to walk in the world.

And because of that.

Matthew's act of "drawing inferences from one another" will be appreciated by Bato, the Lord of the Nine Prisons.

And in the remaining two abilities.

Matthew didn't hesitate to opt for the "Overlord Contract".

This ability can effectively strengthen the power of the contract, and at the same time has a certain coercive effect.

Ideal for dealing with infernal creatures.

Matthew likes to play coercion.

As for the "stealing concept".

Even if he didn't have the ability, Matthew could have tried to do it himself.

The ability is nothing more than to enhance the guaranteed effect of the contract, which is slightly insufficient compared to the mandatory effect of the overlord contract, so it was finally abandoned by Matthew.

After a quick decision.

Matthew just wanted to turn his attention back to reality.

But at this time.

A gentle force teased him.

It seems to be inviting him to explore deeper.

……

"Hint: You have officially set foot in the field of "Contract", and you have explored the equivalent of 2 times so far.

Batow Consciousness invites you to explore the depths of the realm!"

……

Matthew didn't hesitate to refuse.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Although the contract realm has also been washed by the Scourge Mage, and the theory is quite clean, Bao Buqi Bato buried a mine for himself in the deeper part of the realm.

After all, the Lord of the Nine Hells is, in a sense, a single being more powerful than the gods.

Matthew really doesn't want to deal with these top bosses.

But just one refused.

A faint gaze locked on him.

"Barto's eyes are always on you!"

"Hell!"

"Isn't this buddy sealed under the Bridge of Living Beings by the Scourge Mage? How did he look at me? ”

Matthew only felt a chill in his back.

Right now.

Margaret was keenly aware of his strangeness.

She asked in surprise:

"You've just entered the realm?"

Matthew nodded hesitantly.

Margaret asked incredulously:

"Just, just because of what you just did?"

"What field did you go into – rape or coercion?"

Matthew told the truth:

"Contract."

Margaret screamed:

"Why didn't I get in!?"

"Obviously, your contract was written by me one by one."

"I'm so angry!"

Matthew coughed, and could only comfort:

"Maybe you're too expensive......"

Margaret stopped talking.

She just looked at Matthew suspiciously with a pair of big eyes, and her cheeks were bulging on both sides.

If you let her know that you can still enter the realm of necromancy at any time.

She didn't have to go mad yet.

Dangerous thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

Immediately, he told the crisis he was facing:

"This time entering the realm may not be a good thing, I seem to be targeted by the remnant consciousness of the Lord of the Nine Prisons!"

"Even if I refused to go further in the field, his eyes were fixed on me."

Margaret's eyes were about to pop out:

"Can you go further?"

Matthew smiled helplessly.

I'm afraid that this chick is already sour, and she can only hear the topic of the field in her own words.

At the moment, he silently felt the faint gaze.

But the presence of the white mist always disturbed his perception.

Matthew couldn't tell where his gaze was coming, it seemed to come from all directions, and he couldn't escape Bartow's gaze wherever he went.

It's anomalous.

Matthew looked around with his left hand for a moment, then suddenly motioned for Margaret to protect himself, and he quickly closed his eyes.

Airplanes!

A silent ripple rippled out around Matthew.

That moment.

The white mist in the burial chamber also drifted with it.

……

"Hint: You activated the 'Grave Field'!

Detects that the realm perfectly matches the current environment, and you temporarily gain a terrain bonus based on the grave realm -

1. Your perception is +2;

2. Increases your movement speed by 30%;

3. A small increase in all "sport" related judgments;

4. Your ability "Wall Piercing Technique" has been greatly enhanced, and the effect has been increased as follows:-

You can pass through walls or obstacles up to 3 meters thick (previously 1.5 meters);

-

Increases your movement speed through walls to 2/3 of normal (up from 1/3); -

If you are disturbed by insects or attacked while passing through the wall, the process will be interrupted immediately, and you will appear intact at the location before the wall.

You perceive (+2) the "Observer Painting"!"

……

Matthew Huo Ran opened his eyes.

With the strengthening of the Tomb Realm, his ability to control everything around him has improved a lot.

They were now in the aisle leading to the tombs and between the sacrifices.

Three meters away, in the corridor on the left, there is a strange oil painting.

Matthew strode over.

In the center of the painting is a large eyeball, and below the eyeball is a slit full of sharp fangs.

There are four stout stalks on the back of the eyeball, and each stalk has tiny eyeballs at the tip.

This is an "observer eye".

Matthew understood that the demon on the painting was the source of that dark gaze.

He tried to remove the frame from the wall.

The observer in the painting remains motionless all the time, as if it were just an oil painting.

Matthew just wanted to reach out and touch the surface of the painting.

Margaret, who came over, directly and rudely inserted her hand into it!

Syllable!

As soon as she grabbed the observer in the painting, the latter screamed, and Margaret was taken out of the painting!

The green devil struggled wildly in Margaret's hands.

Sticky juice flowed down her wrist.

Matthew looked down.

The landscape in the painting is still there, but the observer in the painting is empty.

"Voyeurism is not a decent thing to do."

"You're not the eyeliner of the Blood Banner family...... Well, you work for Bato? ”

Margaery's trait asked the observer in her hand.

The latter, however, was indifferent, and only made a hoarse voice with his teeth and claws:

"Let me go!"

"If not, there will be no place for the Nine Prisons!"

Margaret showed a frightened expression:

"Okay."

Then the green tendons on the arm suddenly burst out.

Syllable!

Her five fingers gripped hard.

This observer demon was choked alive by her!

……

"Hint: Your companion Margaret killed the Observer Eyer.

You no longer suffer from Barto's gaze;

-1 Purgatory Opinion for you and your companions;

You acquire the corpse of an "Observer Eye", do you summon it as a new undead?"

……

Matthew chose no.

He stuffed the corpse of the Beholder into the painting, found a shroud to cover the frame, and after making sure Margaret was not interested in it, stuffed it into his bag.

The current itinerary is too rushed, all kinds of good corpses harvested this time, let's go back and enjoy it slowly!

"Bato's eyeliner actually appeared in the graveyard of the Blood Banner family, how did you see the gate?"

Margaery's trait asks the undead guard who has just been signed by Matthew.

The latter looked dazed:

"I don't know when it came in."

Matthew asked curiously:

"What do you know about Barto?"

Margaret pondered:

"It's not too much, at the level of the Lord of the Nine Hells, the knowledge related to them will become very expensive, and there is also a consideration in protecting the weak.

All I know is that Bartow is the Lord of the Eye, and although he always shows himself with one eye, he actually has 100 million eyes.

It is said that every eye is a life.

Therefore, Barto cannot be killed.

In the Age of Enlightenment, there are also records of the gods fighting Bato, but he was almost able to exit as a winner.

Some say that His 100 million eyes can see what is happening in all the timelines of the past and the future.

And what I just want to know is.

Before the Scourge Mage arrived.

Did He see himself being beaten? ”

Matthew smiled dumbly.

The Scourge Mage is indeed the pride of the Alliance.

Her record of violently beating the entire universe at the beginning was so amazing that now, many years later, even if the younger generation has not seen the Scourge Mage himself, they no longer worship those originally high-ranking beings because of her.

There's even a hint of contempt.

That's what human nature is.

When you're invincible, everyone thinks you're invincible.

But if you lose once.

will send an extremely strong signal to the outside world:

That is, you can be defeated.

There is a first time, and there is a second time.

It was based on this psychology that the alliance mages treated the gods of Tianlun Palace and the Lord of the Nine Hells equally.

It's almost like "I know you're awesome, but you're not that good."

After the hiccup, the two moved on.

The undead guards were driven by them to explore the way.

And after opening the realm of the grave.

Matthew could clearly feel that the tension from before had disappeared a lot.

Perhaps the tension comes from the unknown.

After all, the previous perception was weakened too much, which is equivalent to a blind person exploring in a strange place, and the pressure will be magnified exponentially.

Fifteen minutes later.

They silently walked through the corridors and underground halls of unknown purpose.

According to the map.

It was only one step away from the sacrifice.

It went a lot better than they expected.

The number of undead guards in the catacombs is very small, and there are traps, but they are relatively easy to detect.

Margaret didn't go to dismantle the trap, and the two chose to avoid it.

But the reason why the two of them sneaked in here so smoothly.

Rhaegar's map is the first to be credited.

Without the cooperation of this filial son and grandson.

Matthew and his wife could never have been so easy.

In front of us is the gate between the sacrifices.

It was an extremely magnificent stone gate, seven or eight meters high, the thickness of which was not visible, but it was certainly very stocky.

Margaret took a step forward.

She silently read the words on the door:

"This is the place where the blood flag is sacrificed, and it is also a place where treasures are dusted."

"If you want to enter the door, you can knock on the door three times."

There seems to be no trap.

After the two of them used spells to survey repeatedly.

Margaret motioned for Matthew to take a few steps back.

Then he knocked lightly on the stone door.

There was no movement at the stone gate.

But the space in front of the two of them suddenly distorted.

A sphinx-faced monster suddenly appeared in front of them.

When the monster saw them, he asked coldly:

"Who among you will answer my question?"

Margaret's eyes lit up:

"Sphinx?"

Matthew had also heard of the legendary keepers of the treasures that often appeared in dungeons, tombs, or labyrinths.

Every Sphinx possesses at least quasi-legendary strength, a strange race with a little power over time.

Between the Sphinx and the timeline, there is an untold promise.

Only a handful of powerful beings can make a pact with the Sphinx to keep their treasures in check.

And those who try to covet these treasures have only two choices when faced with the Sphinx.

Either answer the Sphinx's question, and the correct answer will only pass;

If you answer incorrectly, you will be hunted down to death by the Sphinx;

Of course, you can also choose not to answer the question and leave where you are.

Most of the Sphinx are fairly talkative, and are usually willing to forgive those who have lost their way.

But if you're unlucky and bump into a handful of grumpy sphinxes.

You may only be able to bite the bullet and answer the question.

Of course, there is actually another option here, and that is to blow him up.

Matthew glanced at Margaret.

Boy.

A look of being ready to move.

Is 4.6 million so inflated in self-confidence?

He gently pulled Margaret:

"Why don't I answer first?"

Margaret could just think about it.

So Matthew came to the Sphinx:

"I'll answer, you ask."

The Sphinx looked at Matthew silently, he thought for about three minutes, and then suddenly spoke:

"Suppose you are a devout believer and an unbeliever asks you this question—

Do you believe that the God you believe in is omnipotent?

If it's omnipotent.

So what you believe in is whether it is possible to create an being that can defeat himself?

What should you do? ”

If it is a devout believer.

Then you must be convinced that your gods are omnipotent.

So wanted to answer this question.

It seems that he has to face the strange circle of "can the gods create an existence that can defeat them".

Margaret's brow furrowed immediately.

The Sphinx said mildly:

"I know this question is a little too difficult, so I can give you thirty minutes in which you can use all your resources or connections to find answers to your questions."

"In thirty minutes, I'll kill you."

Matthew's eyes rolled:

"It doesn't take as long as thirty minutes."

The Sphinx looked at him flatly:

"Oh, tell me about it."

He didn't seem to be optimistic about Matthew's answer, and there was a hint of nonchalance in his eyes.

However, the next second.

But listen to Matthew reply:

"I'll kill him right away!"

The Sphinx looked at him with some surprise:

"You, you...... But your behavior is not rational or wise, and it will not solve the problem. ”

Matthew's innocent stall hand:

"You assume I'm a devout believer, is it a bit of a strong man to ask me to be reasonable?"

"When the problem cannot be solved, it is also a forced idea to solve the person who raised the problem."

The Sphinx's expression struggled.

"As reluctant as I am, your answer is logically sound."

"Damn, if I knew there was this method, I would have been able to fight back perfectly against that human when he asked me this question!"

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief:

"So we can go in?"

The Sphinx looked at him deeply:

"You necromancers always open my eyes, go inside, but you two can only take at most one item and leave at once; If I find out that you have taken one more, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth. ”

said.

The stone door slowly opened.

A choking puff of dust poured out of it.

Matthew didn't rush through the door.

He looked at the Sphinx with interest:

"Can I answer a few more questions? I mean, for every extra question I answer, I get to take one more item? ”

The Sphinx said coldly:

"I can't."

Matthew was a little regretful, and then asked:

"Who do you work for?"

"The Blood Banner family came out in such a sacrificial room, obviously to collect funeral goods, why did the Sphinx appear here?"

The Sphinx said quickly:

"The Sphinx likes to ask questions, not answer them."

"But in view of your whimsy, I would like to give you a small piece of information: we Sphinx are here only to protect the most powerful treasures."

"So, get in there, remember, you can only pick one, and you only have fifteen minutes to pick one."

The two glanced at each other and walked quickly to the stone gate.

Behind the stone gate is a large room.

Rows of glass display cases are placed on all four sides of the room.

The lights of the mage fire lit up.

The glass case reflects a bright white sheen.

As Matthew previously described.

The sacrificial intercourse does not feel like a place to bury the funerary goods.

It looks like a large treasure collection room.

The two walked between the display cases.

They can clearly see the style and appearance of each burial object.

But a powerful force prevented their perception from going deeper.

Not even Matthew's Grave Realm could go any further.

……

"Hint: You perceive that all items in the Sacrifice Chambers are immobilized with a legendary spell "Dusty Light".

Dusty Treasure: This is a spell that allows all artifacts to remain in their original form, and you can't feel the mana fluctuations or additional historical information on them.

Everything can only be seen with the naked eye and listened with the heart."

……

Damn it.

The funerary goods here are actually perpetuated with legendary spells.

Rhaegar hadn't mentioned it before.

Walk between sacrifices.

Matthew felt like he was walking in the treasure room of a legendary mage.

It's just too strong.

He even suspected that one of Rhaeggar's ancestors had transformed himself into a lich before running the cemetery like this.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to find something that Siv used to awaken successfully.

But soon he knew he was overthinking.

It's right in the northeast corner of the showcase.

Matthew sees an object that resembles a trophy.

It is made of copper throughout, and the cup is filled with thick blood.

From time to time, the blood seeped outwards and flowed through the walls of the cup, making a rustling sound.

Just looking at it gives people a very evil feeling.

"No wonder Rhaegar said I could find it at a glance."

"This is the Holy Grail of Sin."

Matthew reached out to open the glass case, then held the chalice in his hand.

A great evil thought arose in his heart.

That moment.

He has an insatiable desire to kill, dominate, and brutalize......

Fortunately, in the field of moderation, the mind is like stopping water and taking effect quickly.

Matthew exempted himself from the temptation of the Holy Grail.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and noticed that Margaret was winking at him, so he walked over.

"You took this chalice for your lord, didn't you?"

Margaret whispered.

Matthew nodded.

Margaret said,

"You take one more piece, and we'll leave at once."

"Remember, only one more chalice was Rhaegar's, and I asked for this ring, and the three of us took only one item each."

"I'm not afraid of the Sphinx's pursuit, the important thing is to avoid the traceability of the legend of the Blood Banner family, as long as we don't take more than this number, I have a way to block her traceability."

"In a moment, you come to what you want, give me a gesture, and we'll take it together and run!"

Matthew glanced at what was in front of Margaret's window.

It was a plain-looking, platinum ring.

Margaret used a high-level identification scroll on the ring.

Due to the dusty light, the effect of the forensic technique only lasted for three seconds before disappearing.

But Matthew's data column faithfully records the relevant information.

……

"Hint: You've found the Ring of Debt.

Ring of Liabilities: A failed item that the legendary mage Fei Capital accidentally harvested while crafting the Kryptonite Ring.

Effect 1: When you wear the ring for more than a year, you will receive 1% of your total debt for each full year.

Effect 2: When you wear the Ring and activate its effects, you will receive an additional Spell Boost, and all of your spells and spell-based abilities will receive the Spell Extension effect.

The higher your total debt limit.

The higher the Spell Hyper Bonus achievement you get.

Spell overmagic effects include, but are not limited to, the following-

Spells are powerful;

Spells are extremely effective;

Spell Expansion;

Multicast;

Spells are instantaneous;

Spell Silence;

Mobile casting;

Legendary Cast (All your spells will theoretically reach Legendary strength) (Total Debt Required: 5,000,000 Gold or more)"

……

Matthew's eyelids jumped when he saw it.

Isn't this a treasure made for Margaret?

He suddenly remembered the scene when Margaret had suddenly interjected himself into a conversation with Rhaegar earlier.

I couldn't help but suddenly realize:

"You already knew there was something you wanted?"

Margaret scratched her head a little embarrassedly:

"I just heard that one of Mr. Fei Capital's rings fell to Escana, and I guessed that at least half of it might have fallen into the hands of the Blood Banner family. This thing is high-level, and normal people can't use it, if it really falls into the hands of the Blood Banner family, it's no more suitable to use it for burial, hehehe......"

"Look for it! The lion man stole us several times. ”

When Matthew heard this, he immediately searched for it in the cupboard.

I'm a little sorry for Rhaegar though.

But no matter how I say it, it's a hard trip, and it's reasonable to take only one treasure as a hard fee.

Now he tried to distinguish the treasures with his forensic skills.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out well.

It seems that only advanced forensics can obtain information for two or three seconds.

It just so happened that he had run out of advanced identification scrolls in his bag.

At the moment, I can only look at these funeral goods, and I can't tell whether they are good or bad.

But it just came at the right time.

The ability given to him by the field of graves "archaeologist" suddenly came in handy.

Matthew's mind.

Some knowledge about the grave and history is surging wildly.

His gaze wandered over the funeral objects.

A moment later.

Matthew locked on an item that matched the knowledge in his mind.

It was a rusty bronze dagger!

"This should be the 'Dagger of Equality', right?"

"It can't be a fake, right?"

Matthew was a little apprehensive.

He glanced at the situation near the gate, and the Sphinx was so focused that he almost stuck his head in.

Margaret, on the other hand, looked at herself with a blank eye, looking like she couldn't bear it.

"Forget it, anyway, I remembered the way to enter the cemetery, as long as I don't get caught this time, I will have the opportunity to go home often in the future."

Matthew calms down.

He gave Margaret a hands-on gesture.

The two of them mouth-shaped at the back of three-two-one.

Matthew grabbed the bronze dagger.

The next second.

Margaret, holding the Ring of Debt, appeared beside him.

The Sphinx at the door let out a sneer:

"You still haven't resisted the temptation of greed!"

"Then let me give you a ride!"

As he spoke, he pounced on the two of them.

But in an instant.

The two of them turned into white smoke and disappeared in place.

What fell into the hands of the Sphinx was only the shell of a smoking scroll of advanced escape techniques.

A few minutes later.

Outside the castle.

Margaret skillfully carried Matthew all the way.

Soon they were on the plains below the volcanic city.

It didn't take long.

A Tiffling riding a giant mechanical bat scurried down beside them.

The Tieflin looked greedily at the two:

"Hit ......"

"Robbery!"

Margaret knocked him unconscious with a fluid punch.

Then he took Matthew and straddled the giant mechanical bat.

The latter's two-wing winch made a clicking sound.

The two slowly rose into the air.

"You're going to open this too?"

Matthew couldn't help but ask.

Margaret confidently replied:

"Of course!"

"This thing doesn't have a gas pedrottle, though."

"But I just have to try to push and pull everything that can move."

Between words.

The mechanical bat struggled for a moment, fast and slow, high and low.

After that, it flew smoothly towards the sky.

It was peaceful along the way.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

He began to carefully compare the dagger in his hand with the knowledge in his mind.

Meanwhile.

The attributes of the Dagger of Equality also slowly emerged in his mind.
