291 The Black History of Lorain and the Secrets of the Crown of Sin
……
Matthew chose OK.
Of course, such a simple and crude promotion must be won directly, although the title of a civil war insider is not very good, but compared to the direct increase in combat power, this is nothing.
"It turns out that the title is also part of the combat power, no wonder Loren has so many suffixes ......"
Matthew was thoughtful.
He doesn't have many titles at the moment, and the only ones with a certain level of legend are the Tree Mage, the Dragon Slayer Warrior, the Nature Mentor, and the Civil War Rising Star.
Among them, only the Civil War Nova is the most intuitive and noticeable.
Damage increased by 30%.
This thing still ignores magic armor!
In this way, Matthew, who was already very proficient in the civil war of necromancers, had a better grasp when fighting against other peers.
And in addition to the increase in combat effectiveness.
Taking this opportunity to enter the combat field is even more unexpected.
The only regret is that he entered the combat field limited to mages, not all classes.
This is equivalent to entering a subfield.
There is still room for improvement in terms of priority.
Besides.
Probably because he entered with elements of the civil war, he also did not have the right to choose one of the three in terms of domain ability.
It's more gratifying.
This ability has a chance to evolve into an authority after being titled.
In a way, it is more beneficial than the right to choose freely.
After successfully killing the necromancer Kunsa.
Matthew's ability to rebel took over all the remaining undead forces in Kunsa.
……
"Hint: Your ability to counteract, continuous counter, and enhanced countermeasures is in effect.
You've gained a makeshift summon formation!
Here's what you can do with this summon formation -
Disband;
Destroy;
Control;
Convert;"
……
To dissolve is to make this group of undead undead;
Destruction is the direct annihilation of the existence of the undead from the level of contract and soul;
Control is to gain control of them for a short period of time, and to carry out commands and requisitions for a period of time;
And the transformation is to take this group of immortals for their own use.
Matthew did not hesitate and directly chose to transform.
Should it be said or not.
The undead left behind by Kunsar are quite useful.
Especially the four mummies.
Matthew touched them left and right, looking like he couldn't put it down.
Mummies are excellent undead classes.
They are extremely powerful fighters, with good sword skills and strong frontal breakthrough ability;
The bandages wrapped around their bodies gave the mummies super high magic resistance, and Matthew checked it, and these four mummies in Kunza were directly immune to the vast majority of magic below the fourth order!
Mummy's bandages have many properties, some can be suddenly released to wrap around enemies, some can also pull enemies towards themselves, or catapult out to crash themselves into enemies, and some can even be eaten to restore the health of the undead.
Besides.
The mummy also possesses not low innate armor and an excellent health bar among the undead, and can be said to be the most perfect existence among the mid-level undead.
In a way, this thing is also a spellcaster's nemesis and a weapon for fellow civil wars!
It's a pity that what they encountered was a rebellion!
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause Matthew a lot of trouble.
"These four mummies must be taken home, Kunsa's storage prop is a gray ring, but unfortunately it has a secret lock, I have to wait to bring it back to Richard to see......"
Between thoughts.
Matthew took out a large tombstone and placed it in the middle of the road, and then ordered the makeshift summons to touch the surface of the tombstone one by one to complete the transformation ritual.
This is the registered tombstone.
Using this as a medium, Matthew can include this group of summons in the formation of the cemetery.
The current Death's Graveyard has the ability to hold summons on its own.
This ability is tied to Matthew's strength and the level of the ritual field.
At present, the maximum number of summons that can be accommodated separately in the cemetery formation is 480, which is the same as that of Ma Xiu.
Other words.
With the addition of the Necropolis, the total number of summons he could maintain for a single type brought to nine hundred and sixty.
This is already a very formidable existence among non-legendary necromancers.
"It's a pity that except for the mummies, the other zombie skeletons are much worse in color......"
Matthew had a hint of regret on his face.
But soon this regret disappeared:
"Anyway, these zombies are brought back and handed over to the mother of coolies to practice, and they don't need to fight in normal times."
"It's a pity that the skeleton talent is a little worse, although the skeleton assassins brought out by A Bing are a little useful, but the number is too small to have the feasibility of large-scale promotion, I don't know if the mother of coolies can cross the class and train the skeletons as well?"
At this time, Luo Lan walked over with a complicated face.
He looked at the undead who were queuing up to register their accounts, and then at the corpse of the necromancer Kunsa, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"It seems that you really learned from the silver snake!"
Matthew smiled and asked rhetorically:
"Can't I be self-taught?"
Lorain also laughed:
"Then I have to wonder if you are outstanding people in Rolling Stone, specializing in cultivating civil war experts."
The red-robed priest walked over, and she said seriously:
"If you want to reach the top in your respective fields, then it is inevitable to become the king in the civil war."
"It's a natural consequence of screening within the field, and it's not something to be ridiculed."
"I don't believe you don't have a trick up your sleeve."
Luo Lan spread his hands:
"No tricks."
"But there's a whole bunch of killer features."
Carmella rolled her eyes.
Matthew took the mold that held the gold water and the crucible next to it.
"This crucible can also be sold for some money......"
Matthew gently patted the mold and listened to the echoes inside:
"It seems like there's more than four thousand gold coins in here."
It was at this time.
Originally in the group of people in Jewel Bay, who were watching from the sidelines.
Lyndon suddenly took a step forward, and he said to Matthew:
"There's a thousand gold coins in here!"
Matthew turned his head sideways, looking at Lyndon and the others with interest.
Stanley's face tightened, he pulled Linden and reprimanded in a low voice:
"What are you doing?"
Lyndon smiled disappreciatively:
"My perception tells me that they look like good people."
"Especially the little white face with a shovel, they won't do anything to me!"
As he spoke, he was still moving forward:
"Hey, give me the money back!"
After a few steps.
A red shadow suddenly flashed.
But seeing Carmela suddenly rush in front of Linden, she grabbed Linden's right arm with one hand, pressed his shoulder with the other hand, and then pulled down hard-
A terrifying scene has appeared!
The sound of bones breaking and clothes tearing sounded at the same time, and everyone watched in amazement as a large amount of blood splattered from Linden's shoulders!
In the midst of Lyndon's pig-killing screams.
The red-robed priest actually ripped his arm off his body!
"Quiet."
Carmella said.
Lyndon still howled in place, but his voice disappeared instantly.
The crowd was terrified.
With a flick of Carmela's fingertips, a white light enveloped Lyndon's wound, who was sweating profusely and still looking pained, but the bleeding had stopped.
"You're injured now, you've lost an arm."
"But you're lucky to have met me, I happen to be a priest, and I can just help you with this arm, but you'll have to pay for it."
"I won't ask for a lot of money, how about a thousand gold coins?"
Carmella stared into Lyndon's eyes with a serious expression.
A look of fear crossed Linden's face.
He nodded profusely, and his lips seemed to be saying something, but unfortunately because of the silence, everyone could not hear anything.
"Very good."
Carmela pressed the arm back into Lynden's with a blank expression.
The next second.
The white and flawless brilliance of the magic bloomed again.
The broken cut of the arm and the wound of the shoulder fit perfectly.
Just half a minute later.
Except for the fact that his coat and sleeves were torn apart, Linden's flesh had been restored to its original state!
Everyone silently looked at the completely invisible wound, and their hearts were amazed at the magic of the divine arts.
Lyndon glanced at Carmela in fear, then quickly retreated behind Stanley.
"Isn't that okay with you?"
Lorraine walked over.
Carmela said calmly:
"What's the problem? I hate this kid's face, and I hate being called a good person. ”
"What he just said brought back some bad memories in me."
"Although I am indeed a good person, it does not mean that he can use this identity to kidnap me."
Lorain shook his head:
"I mean, you could have dressed him backwards when you picked up that arm."
"Then you can take the opportunity to collect another thousand gold coins and get it right."
"Don't worry, the identity of a good person can't kidnap me, and if I have such magical medical skills as yours, this kid will be removed from more than his arms."
said.
He gave Lyndon a malicious look.
Lyndon was frightened and took another step back.
This time, he simply retreated behind Daisy.
Matthew couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw this scene behind him.
The wicked need to be grinded by the wicked.
They had already seen the dispute and encounter between the people of Jewel Bay and the others just now.
Lyndon is a rare guy who makes the two legendary bosses feel disgusted in unison.
However, Carmela's approach to governance is not ingenious.
Matthew asked himself if he had changed to himself, and there might really be no better way to remediate it for a while.
You can't really turn people into immortals.
That's not exquisite.
Look at the menacing trio.
Stanley, the leader of the group in Jewel Bay, felt a pressure.
He protected everyone behind him, and then said in a deep voice:
"Let us go, we can pay."
Matthew walked over and shook his head.
Stanley's face tightened:
"Do you have to push us to the brink of extinction?"
Matthew smiled kindly:
"No, we just want to work with you."
Just as Lyndon's conduct disgusted all three, Stanley's actions were unanimously approved by all three.
It's hard to see such a sophisticated thief these days.
Of course.
The reason why Matthew and the three of them plan to cooperate with each other.
And more importantly, here's what's more.
Stanley, the thief in white, is an old acquaintance of Loren.
At the moment, under Stanley's puzzled gaze, Loren withdrew his disguise.
"Losolon, is that you?"
Stanley looked at Loren with a look of surprise on his face.
The latter's face was also a little complicated, and he took the initiative to extend his right hand to Stanley:
"Long time no see."
"Is Julie okay?"
Stanley hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly shook Lorraine's hand:
"She's fine, huh...... She was pregnant, and we had two children before that, and this is the third. ”
His voice seemed a little nervous, and his gaze at Loran was full of vigilance that he had never felt before.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to pry your corner."
Luo Lan laughed and said:
"To be honest, I almost forgot what Julie looked like, I just remember that she was the one with bigger breasts among my ex-girlfriends......"
Stanley's eyes gradually became unfriendly.
Loren coughed:
"She is very discerning, and she will indeed suffer a lot less with you."
"But why are you here?"
"Tomb robbing is not a job that a good husband or father should do......
Stanley's eyes were open:
"Life always costs money, doesn't it?"
"I don't have any other skills, the money I earned before I washed my hands was distributed to the poor, and if I only supported Julie and me, it would be more than enough, but if I want to raise children, it is not enough in the precious land of Jewel Bay."
As he spoke, he changed his words:
"What about you?"
"The eldest young master of the Ranchi family, I heard that you have been promoted to legend, but you are wanted by Cyberdragon and Cloud City."
"I was worried about you...... So why are you here? ”
Luo Lan smiled slightly:
"Wanted? That's all in the past. ”
"I'm part of a big organization now, and my status is different from what I used to be, so you don't have to worry about me."
"I'm so happy right now......"
However, he was not finished.
A heavy notebook with a black cover suddenly flew out of Lorraine's collar.
The book opened automatically.
A cold female voice came from the book:
"Mr. Loraine, I'm sorry to disturb your vacation."
"I have compiled the much-needed content into the Book of Hebrews, and I ask you to complete three manuscripts of no less than 1,000 words within two days."
The smile on Luo Lan's face suddenly froze.
He cleared his throat:
"I'm on vacation, Rosie!"
The other party said in a calm tone:
"Yes, I know, so I apologized at the beginning."
Loraine has green tendons jumping on her forehead:
"So it's okay to apologize?"
"Or else?"
The cold female voice continued:
"If you can't meet the deadline, the publication we planned will still be released as scheduled."
"It's just that the quality may not be guaranteed."
"Huh?"
Luo Lan snorted coldly:
"So, what does it have to do with me?"
Rosie said lightly:
"In order to avoid this from happening, I plan to replace the layout of your manuscript with a photo of you gluing in your office......"
"If you don't want that to happen, just work hard to write it!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Loraine, I wish you a happy overtime!"
Smack.
The Book of Hebrews slammed to the ground.
There was silence all around.
Everyone looked at Luo Lan with different eyes.
And Stanley looked at Loren with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
"You're not going to kill us, are you?"
Carmella glanced at Loraine.
The next second.
Expressionlessly, Loren took out the turquoise piccolo and put it on his lips.
Beautiful music sounded.
An extremely strong feeling of vertigo began to stimulate everyone's brains!
Matthew hurriedly took out the divinity.
With the power of divinity, he successfully exempted Loraine's music.
Carmela bowed her head and folded her hands.
There was a faint divine brilliance on her body, and she also successfully resisted Luo Lan's hypnosis.
But the rest of the people were not so lucky.
Everyone, including Stanley, fell asleep!
Three minutes passed.
When Lorain put down the piccolo with relief, they suddenly woke up one by one.
"What's going on, brother-in-law?"
"I just had a dream that I was ...... by a group of monsters"
The young man next to Stanley was chattering.
The rest of the people also showed expressions as if they were separated from this world.
"Losolon?"
Stanley stared nervously at Lorain:
"You just hypnotized us? What have you done to us? ”
Luo Lan waved his hand easily:
"It's just a little bit of a necessary secrecy."
"Let's continue with the topic we just talked about, we want to work with you to explore the Troll Dungeon together."
"I noticed that there is a man in your ranks who is well versed in history, and I hope that he will share with us all the information he has learned."
"He should be willing to cooperate with us, after all, all three of us are good people."
He smiled at Lyndon as he spoke.
Lyndon was frightened and took two steps back, but this time Stanley didn't give him a good look, he grabbed Lyndon to prevent him from escaping, and then said to Lorraine:
"Yes."
"I will ask Lyndon to translate all the historical content he sees on the spot, but I ask that your people must protect us properly throughout the exploration of the dungeon, and must not harm our lives in any way."
Loraine nodded briskly:
"No problem!"
But Stanley still looked a little skeptical:
"I hope you keep your promises."
"You didn't have a good reputation before."
Loren smiled kindly:
"I've now cleared my name, and my credit is certainly impeccable."
"Speaking of which, how is Gem Bay doing? I've been hearing negative news before. ”
Stanley shrugged:
"That's it."
"Law and order in some areas is a bit fluctuating, but it's still generally calm. People only care about their immediate life, and do not care about disasters that seem to be far away. ”
"By the way, when I went to Fitz's Bar last week, the owner told me he missed you."
"He said that in so many years since you left, I haven't met a stripper as good as you......"
"Wait, what are you doing?"
Feel the strange gaze of everyone.
Lorraine put the piccolo to her lips again with a blank face.
After a lullaby.
The group of Jewel Bay woke up in a daze again.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, why do I seem to have another dream!"
"This time the dream has become more real and terrifying, and the monsters in the dream have become a bunch of very fat women......"
The subordinates are still chattering.
Stanley had already taken the lead in looking directly at Lorraine:
"What did you do to us?!"
Lorraine said bluntly:
"Now that we've talked about cooperation, it's time to head to the Troll Dungeon!"
"Don't forget that we have two other teams of peers, and I'm afraid we won't even be able to share the soup if we go late!"
"Let's go!"
Stanley gave Loren a suspicious look, but finally agreed to the request to go.
So the group walked west along the damp street.
One after the other.
They could see the ruins on both sides of the street.
Everywhere there are green climbing vines and black and purple moss.
The sound of the water is endless.
Occasionally, elven texts and some totems can be seen, but it is difficult to discern their specific directions and meanings due to the corroded carriers.
As they walked down the street, they could barely hear anything except footsteps and droplets.
Time seems to have been frozen here.
Even the wind is frozen.
They didn't encounter any monsters along the way.
It seems that this is just a city forgotten by time.
The end of the line.
Matthew manipulates the newly arrived undead to scatter around, in response to a potential surprise attack.
He glanced at the people in Jewel Bay in front of him.
Then he stabbed Loran with his elbow and said in a low voice:
"So, stripper, is it true?"
Loren glared at him dissatisfied:
"It's just a matter of material!"
"Writers need inspiration, you know what!"
Right now.
Carmela walked leisurely past the two of them.
She didn't know where to take out a gold coin, spun it around her thumb for half a circle, and then pinned it securely to Loren's belt:
"Let's take a while."
Luo Lan's face darkened:
"One gold coin is not enough!"
"Gotta add money."
……
Half an hour later.
In an underground space filled with the smell of damp decay.
The group came to the end of the street.
This is already the outskirts of the Emerald King City, far from the core, so the main body of the roadside ruins has also quietly changed.
From the perishable treehouses where the elves live.
It has become a lot of stone houses made of older materials and more durable.
"This is the area where the trolls once lived, and the area in front of it, if I'm not mistaken, should be the camp of the Troll Empire in the Emerald King's City."
After entering the Stone House area.
Lyndon became unusually active, and as he walked, he introduced:
"Just like the current Jade Court has an entire Wind Chaser camp in Riptide City, the Troll Empire back then was in full swing, and all major races also had their own camps in the main cities, and even troops were directly stationed, and their influence far exceeded that of any race or force later."
"Unfortunately, due to the curse of the gods, there are very few historical materials handed down from the Troll Empire, and only people like me who have the ability to listen to the echoes of history have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the scaly claws of the Troll Empire back then......"
Matthew listened patiently to Lyndon's account.
This man's face is indeed ugly, and the fantasy in his head is more like that of a madman.
But Matthew also had to admit it.
He was a true historian.
Lyndon's perception and intelligence are very high, in fact, only people with an intelligence of more than 15 points have a chance to break through the puzzle of intelligence and perceive the real history.
Matthew can even understand Lyndon's madness to a certain extent.
After all, history is a very unpopular subject in the continent of Aiindo.
Except in Rolling Stone, there is no history curriculum at all in non-teacher-related schools.
Archaeologists and history teachers are rare and strange beings in society themselves.
Ordinary people even need to think about what they are all about when they hear the names of these two professions!
Generally speaking.
Both professions will be part-time by mages.
Matthew is a positive example.
And like Lyndon, who has the ability to get in touch with history, but just happens to be unqualified to become a mage, will have a very painful life.
They are a minority of the minority.
Because of the cognitive deviation with ordinary people, they cannot integrate into normal society, and there are some useless knowledge in their minds, and madness is inevitable.
Under Linden's introduction.
The group walked through an area of stone pillars in the stone house area.
There are many murals carved on both sides.
The content of the mural unabashedly expresses the trolls' worship of the second child and the Purple Palace.
"The god that the trolls worship is an ancient being named Poole, and Poole's spokesperson in the human world is the troll priest, who has mastered all the religious rituals related to the gods."
"In this series of ceremonies, the monthly "Psychic Conference" is the most solemn and solemn, and it is also the most absurd in the eyes of outsiders.
"You see, the content of this painting is the Psychic Assembly—
When the assembly is held, the men and women of the entire clan will meet openly and honestly with each other, and they will freely mingle with each other.
They will be united in the spirit and flesh under the witness of the gods, and they will share each other's beautiful bodies without selfish desires. ”
"Under the extreme worship of fertility and the worship of the gods, the trolls have formed a mixed parenting model based on clans.
The male trolls of each clan treat their children equally, and they consider them to be their own, which is extremely rare in the history of civilization of all races......"
"In addition, another characteristic of the Troll Empire is that the priest system does not affect the rise of the magic civilization, according to the normal situation, this extreme god worship will hinder the development of society, and it is difficult to form a strong magic civilization, but the Troll Empire is an alternative, I guess this has something to do with the god Poole, although the gods deny Poole's real existence, but I think he does exist, and it is precisely because of his deliberate guidance that the Troll Empire can magically develop a prominent magical civilization through the theorian system......"
Lyndon gushed out.
Right now.
Stanley's brother-in-law suddenly interjected:
"So what do you mean by talking about anything to do with the treasure we're looking for?"
Lyndon said decisively:
"Absolutely!"
"Do you know what you're looking for?"
"I know! Let me tell you! ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a nearby mural that was similar to what Matthew had seen on the stone wall.
It's all a huge cylinder underneath.
There is an oppressive ring on the top.
The difference is.
The mural is more complete, and Matthew can see a wider and smoother cross-section beneath the cylinder.
"The treasure that the green dragon has entrusted us to find is called the Crown of Sin."
"And in the culture of trolls, 'crown' is a very specific term that refers to one thing precisely, and that is the second male troll, which is the cylinder below."
Linden danced and pointed to the mural and explained:
"And the corresponding to the crown is the pattern above, which is also the ring of the purple palace that symbolizes the female troll, and its technical term is "Holy Grail".
"Look, the crown and the chalice are a pair."
"So theoretically, with the crown of sin, there is the Holy Grail of sin!"
"For they are one."
Hear here.
Matthew's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam.
The Holy Grail of Sin?!
