304 A Lich Who Can Only Fireball
……
Raven Pavilion?
Eurolin?
Here again?
Matthew was surprised.
He had wanted to visit this place again, but he couldn't get in the last time he was exploring the Tomb Realm.
On the contrary, this time I entered when I set foot in the soul realm.
This shows that the narrow burial chamber in front of you involves both the realm of the tomb and the realm of the soul.
Considering that this burial chamber is located in the large tomb complex of the Raven Pavilion Demon Domain.
And that's where the Secret of Life is located.
Matthew doesn't think it's that simple.
At that moment he flew up lightly and came to the coffin in the center.
His spirit body passed through the coffin board, and he heard a familiar voice in surprise:
"Hah!"
"I knew it was you!"
As before, the coffin was pitch black, and it was theoretically only possible for Matthew to see the silhouette and a few details of the other party by relying on spirit instinct.
This time, though, it seems to be a little different.
When Matthew entered, he found that he could see what Eurolin looked like!
It was a handsome little man with a thin face.
He had a distinct scar on his neck, and his expression looked a little melancholy, but his voice seemed very optimistic:
"Come and help me see what's going on!"
Matthew noted.
At this time, Eurolin was leaning his back against the top of the coffin board, as if lying on the lid of the coffin.
It seemed that a force was pushing his body upwards.
The frequency with which Eurolin was lifted by that force was also fast and slow.
Sometimes it's gentle, it's slow.
Sometimes it comes so suddenly that it can even lift the coffin board a little crack!
He himself looked very uncomfortable.
It's also different from what Matthew saw before.
"What's going on?"
Matthew asked softly.
Eurolin shook his head:
"I don't know, didn't you leave after you left, I took a nap for a while, and when I woke up, I found myself stuck to the ceiling!"
"At that time, a voice asked me: I have been trapped for so long, do I want to go out?"
"I told him I didn't want to at all, and that it was comfortable to lie down."
"The voice tried to convince me at first, but after I listed the many benefits of lying in a coffin, he was speechless."
"Then I lived a quiet day, but not long after, the voice sounded again, and he told me that I could not lie here for the rest of my life, and after that, this abnormal power appeared—
My body seems to have been subjected to anti-gravity magic.
No matter what you do.
In the end, the target that was led to this coffin board was this coffin board!
I can't sleep at all!
How can anyone sleep upside down on the lid of the coffin! ”
Eurolin complained loudly.
Matthew carefully observed the situation, and since he was now in a spirit state, he was free to move in and out of the coffin.
He did perceive an arcane power in Euroline's body.
It's just that the other party's attainments in magic are obviously higher than his own, and he is not in his heyday, just a wisp of consciousness pinned on the field, so naturally there is no way to interpret more information.
"Eurolin shouldn't be able to lie, that voice should be real, which means there may be a third person nearby!"
Matthew was secretly vigilant.
However, he was not worried, after going in and out of the major fields for so long, Matthew gradually understood that this state of fugue in the realm was relatively safe.
Although his current body is a spirit body, the outer periphery of the spirit body is guarded by a powerful circle of realm light.
As long as the realm of his wandering was not destroyed, Matthew would be able to get out of it.
So when in the iQue realm.
Matthew could have been a little more profligate than usual.
Of course.
He wouldn't do that.
"I can only detect the magic on you, but I can't find anything else."
Matthew looked at the uncomfortable Eurolin with some sympathy.
"Can you turn the coffin over?"
Eurolin whimsized:
"Maybe then I'll be able to lie down and sleep."
Matthew shook his head with a smile and said:
"If it's gravity-defying magic, then even if you turn the coffin over, you'll still be sucked to the top."
"And I'm just a spirit now, and it's easy to get in and out, but there's no way to flip the coffin for you, it's too heavy for me."
Spirits can usually only pick up 2 to 3 kilograms of items.
This request of Eurolin was obviously a fantasy for Matthew.
"Damn, why is it so hard to get a good night's sleep?"
Eurolin sighed.
Matthew muttered:
"If that voice has cast anti-gravity magic on you, then the other party's purpose is most likely to force you out, do you want to try to leave this coffin?"
Eurolin said helplessly:
"I can't get out!"
"I've tried, and I can't get out of this coffin board even if I try my best!"
"Although this thing is wood, I don't know why it's so heavy, maybe it's because I'm not a zombie, I've heard that zombies are infinitely powerful, not to mention this kind of wooden coffin, even the sarcophagus may be uncovered!"
Matthew looked around.
Immediately, his eyes lit up.
"There it is."
The burial chamber was indeed empty, and there was nothing.
Standing in the narrow passage leading to the outside world, Matthew found a large pile of white bones.
I don't know what year these white bones are, and they haven't turned into bone meal yet!
And the quality doesn't look low.
"I'll see if I can figure it out for you!"
Matthew manipulated the spirit to float to the edge of the tomb.
Got closer.
Matthew discovered that there were an astonishing number of white bones here, and the entire tomb was filled with similar bones on both sides, and some of the bones even shimmered with golden luster!
This is......
Divine bones!
Matthew's eyes straightened in an instant!
"Don't be like that, your eyes scare me, like a dog sees a bone."
The faint voice of Eurolin came from the coffin.
"Can you see my eyes?"
Matthew asked curiously.
"I can't see it, but I feel it, have you found something valuable?"
Eurolin's voice was a little apprehensive.
Matthew nodded slightly:
"I've found some bones of gods or angels, I can try to summon some undead with them, and then lift your coffin."
Eurolin was frightened:
"You don't want to turn me into a zombie, do you?"
Matthew smiled:
"Don't worry, it won't."
Only then did Eurolin breathe a sigh of relief:
"Then you can do it."
"It's not a problem for me to go on like this, I'm sucked on the coffin lid all day, and sometimes I feel like a gecko......"
When Eurolin nagged.
Matthew had already chanted the spell of the Necromancy.
He is now in a restricted spirit state, and he doesn't have much mana to mobilize, but fortunately, summoning skeletons is the most basic spell, and the consumption is also very low.
Soon.
Eight decent skeletons crawled out of the pile of bones.
Matthew looked at the data bar.
……
"Hint: You have obtained the new Undead "Divine Bone Skull" (LV14).
Your Necromantic Summoning has been updated with a new target: Bone Skeleton.
Summoning a Divine Bone Skeleton requires the precondition "at least one Divine Bone".
You have retrieved the Divine Bone*23......"
……
In fact.
According to Matthew's estimates, there are definitely more than 23 bones in the tomb.
It's just that his vision is limited, and he only sees 23.
"The next time I have the opportunity, I have to take these divine bones away, which can be used to arm Xiao Boiling and Peggy, or you can summon the divine bone creatures alone."
Matthew thought to himself.
Although the Divine Bone does not possess divinity, due to its excellent basic attributes, the Divine Bone Skeleton naturally has more resistance and combat power than ordinary skeletons.
And if a skeletal undead is made entirely of divine bones, then its threat will increase exponentially.
Matthew didn't know exactly how far it would go.
Because he's never used such rich materials before!
"Wait, I'll get it for you right away."
At that moment, Matthew controlled the eight skeletons to the coffin.
The coffin was not actually nailed, and the connection between the lid and the box was filled with a pitch-black gas.
Matthew had eight skeletons work at the same time.
Then he came to the junction, bent down, sniffed, and inhaled hard.
Suddenly.
All the black gas was absorbed by Matthew's spirit.
……
"Hint: You absorb a certain amount of 'Death Aura', and your soul strength is increased by 30%!
Your energy and focus have also increased by 30% and 10% respectively.
Stimulated by the breath of death.
You have gained a new ability, "Soul Trick"
Soul Trick: When a soul is out of body or in a spirit state, you can transform into a spirit of any shape or race, and initially possess the attributes and characteristics of that spirit."
……
Without waiting for Matthew to take a closer look at the unexpected surprise.
There was a soft thud in my ears.
The lid of the coffin was lifted.
The skeletons honestly lifted the lid of the coffin to the side.
The result is the next second.
A figure slammed into the coffin and slammed into the ceiling!
"Ouch my mother!"
Eurolin was hit by the ceiling and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Matthew hurriedly flew over and let another skeleton lift him up.
After leaving the coffin.
Matthew was able to see Eurolin's face clearly.
This guy looks even more handsome than in the coffin, and his charm is definitely on par with Matthew's own!
The other party's condition is quite good.
If you don't look closely, you might even mistake Eurolin for an ordinary human!
"Huh?"
"Is the anti-gravity magic on me really gone?!"
Eurolin touched her up and down for a moment, then looked ecstatic.
Even as he grabbed Matthew's hand heavily:
"Thank you!"
"Thank you very much!"
"Uh, I don't know your name yet?"
Matthew smiled:
"Just call me Matthew."
He noticed that Eurolin could grasp his own hands, and that he was now an Spirit!
"This guy is really not that simple......"
Even if it's on the data bar.
Matthew also couldn't see the information or attributes of Eurolin at all.
"But his previous performance doesn't seem to be acting, maybe he, like Carmela, is a very special ancient person."
Matthew made up his mind to learn about the origins of Eurolin in the future.
However, to his surprise.
As soon as the two of them had just spoken a few words, Eurolin couldn't wait to jump back into the coffin!
"Excuse me, put the lid on my coffin again!"
"I'm going back to sleep!"
His voice was filled with unadulterated happiness.
Matthew was stunned and said:
"Aren't you going to go out and have a look?"
Eurolin straightened up and lay back in the coffin completely:
"What's there to see out there?"
"There's nothing new under the sun, it's better to lie down and sleep, how comfortable it is."
"No one can stop me from sleeping......"
Matthew saw this.
He continued to order the skeletons to close the coffin board of Brother Eurolin.
However, at the moment when the coffin board touched the box.
A huge burst of energy erupted from Eurolin's body—
There was a muffled bang.
Several waves of air rolled out of the small burial chamber one after another.
Several skeletons disintegrated in place.
Even Matthew was pushed to the ground.
After the dust settles.
Matthew was surprised to find that only the messy fragments of the coffin were left on the ground.
Eurolin sat blankly on the shards.
Soon.
Then he put his head in his hands, and wept bitterly:
"I don't have a home anymore!"
"Woo woo woo ......"
He cried like a helpless child.
Matthew floated beside him, not knowing how to comfort him.
"At least you're alive."
Matthew said.
Eurolin wiped away his tears, but Matthew found that when his tears fell to the ground, they turned into diamond-like things!
"Don't lie to me, Matthew......"
"Who can live that long?"
"I already knew that I was a dead man, and I don't want to be alive, I just want to get the rest that a dead man deserves."
Eurolin sobbed quietly:
"When I was alive, the old people always lied to me that I could rest after I died."
"But I didn't rest long after I died......"
Matthew coughed:
"At least you weren't turned into a zombie by a necromancer."
This topic is obviously quite sensitive for Eurolin.
He stopped crying immediately.
And all at once he stood up from the ground:
"You're not going to do that, are you?"
Matthew laughed:
"First of all, my current state is not convenient for controlling a zombie."
"Secondly, a dead person with a spirit like you, there is no way I can turn you into a zombie without your consent."
"Third, I can feel that your situation is very special, even if you become an immortal, you need to sign a contract separately, don't you just sign a contract with me?"
Matthew's words are well-founded and sincere.
Eurolin finally believed.
He was a little embarrassed and said to Matthew:
"I'm sorry, I have some stereotypes about necromancers."
Matthew waved his hand absentmindedly:
"It's okay, it should be."
Taking advantage of the divergence of Eurolin's attention, Matthew pointed to the bones beside the tomb and asked:
"Do you know where these bones come from?"
Eurolin shook his head:
"I don't know, I've been in the coffin since I woke up, and I haven't left the coffin since then."
"So when the coffin broke, I was so sad that something very important was forever gone......
Right here and now.
Matthew's attention was suddenly drawn to the coffin fragments.
He flew over, bent over the ground, and looked at the pieces very carefully.
"If only I could take these things with me."
Matthew muttered.
Eurolin leaned over curiously:
"So my stereotype is at least partly right?"
Matthew looked up for some reason:
"Huh?"
Pointing to the fragments, Eurolin said:
"The necromancer really won't let go of any coffin board."
Matthew laughed to himself.
Then he picked up a fragment, pointed to the text on it, and said:
"Do you know these words?"
Eurolin nodded and shook his head:
"Yes, but they don't seem to make sense together."
Matthew bowed slightly.
He quickly examined the other fragments, and confirmed that the words written on the inside of the coffin were exactly the same as the handwriting on the Maibalon slate that Viscount Fan had given him!
And Maibalon as the second son of the Grim Reaper.
His every move in many cases represents the will of the Grim Reaper.
"Eurolin is indeed the one who is on the radar of the Grim Reaper."
"Perhaps, the reason why the Tomb Realm Soul Realm led me here is not because of how special this tomb is, but because the person or coffin in the tomb is most likely a projection of the Death Realm."
Matthew pointed to the debris on the ground and said:
"Can you collect them first and wait for me to come and pick them up next time?"
Eurolin nodded briskly:
"Absolutely!"
"You've helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you!"
As he spoke, he patiently bent down and stacked all the pieces in the corner of the chamber in turn for later use.
Do it all.
Matthew invites Eurolin to the exit of the tomb:
"Going for a walk?"
Eurolin glanced at Matthew:
"Is it possible for you to leave at any time?"
Matthew admitted:
"Yes."
Eurolin immediately shook his head like a wave:
"Then I'm not going."
"What if there's a monster out there?"
"When the time comes, you pat your ass and leave, leaving me alone, won't you be a sheep?"
It's not for nothing that Matthew thinks about it.
If you want to convince Eurolin to join you in exploring the large tomb complex where the tomb is located, you must at least ensure the safety of the other party.
You can get here by entering the realm fugue.
Not only was Matthew's strength not being able to be brought into play.
The length of his stay here has also been quite precarious.
You can leave at any time.
"We have to find a way to build a portal here, but the portal to the underworld can be easily blocked, and it will also be targeted by the messengers of the underworld or other underworld creatures, at least multiple springboards will be needed as a buffer ......"
Matthew thought to himself.
Eurolin walked to the other corner and slowly crouched down with his hands on his chest.
"What's next for you?"
Matthew asked with concern.
"Go back to sleep."
Eurolin stretched out indifferently.
His movements seemed so nimble that Matthew even suspected that he was a living person!
"Sleeping in a coffin is also sleeping, sleeping outside is also sleeping, as long as I am adaptable enough, I can sleep in this burial chamber as a larger coffin!"
Eurolin said with a yawn.
Matthew was sideways.
I have to admit that this old brother is indeed enough to be at ease with what happens.
"By the way, the next time you come to pick up the coffin fragments, will it be inconvenient for you to bring me a new coffin?"
Eurolin asked.
Seeing Matthew's thoughtful expression.
Eurolin immediately took off a large gold necklace from his body and handed it over:
"Don't worry, I won't take you for nothing, don't look at this necklace black, that's because I've slept with me for a long time and got a little dead popularity, maybe it's good to go back and bake it on the fire, it's all pure gold......"
Matthew waved his hand in refusal:
"No, I'm just thinking about how to bring things over......"
His voice stopped suddenly.
Followed by.
Matthew asked with a serious face:
"Did you hear a burst of footsteps just now?"
He heard it.
It's subtle but it's real.
It's from the end of the tombway!
Eurolin's nerves tensed!
"I think I heard ...... too"
The two of them came to the tombway.
Matthew pressed his ear to the wall, and Eurolin followed suit, and the faint voice became clearer.
In addition to the sound of footsteps, there was even a dialogue-
"Fisher, are you sure this is the tomb where the Prophet of Death sleeps?"
This is a young female voice.
"It's true, I heard that he is a terrible lich, very hot-tempered, and at every turn he will peel off human skins and make human skin kites! We'll see him in a moment, but be careful what you say......"
It was a relatively calm middle-aged man's voice that answered.
Eurolin immediately looked at Matthew worriedly:
"Did you hear what they said?"
"Oh no, there's a bad-tempered lich living here!"
"If we bump into him, we won't be made into a skin kite, will we? Even though I'm dead, it's hard to accept the thought of being skinned! ”
Matthew's complexion was a little complicated.
In the face of Eurolin's concern, he did not squeak, but chose to continue listening.
The female voice from before said:
"I have heard that the Prophet of Death has taken the authority of the Grim Reaper and performed a strange ritual in the place where the Grim Reaper has fallen, at the cost of his own eternal sleep."
"Because of that ritual, this area has become very special."
"Because of this, this area has become the only area in the Raven Pavilion Demon Domain that is not controlled by Viscount Fan......"
The middle-aged man interrupted her:
"Don't mention that name!"
"Be careful, that guy has a lot of skills!"
"I remember it clearly, our goal this time is only the Death Prophet, don't provoke others, there are many unknown undead creatures here, each of them is not easy to mess with, don't make any extraneous branches!"
Hear here.
Eurolin breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's okay, it's okay!"
"They didn't plan to make a fuss!"
Matthew's expression became even more eccentric.
Right now.
The footsteps in the graveyard became clearer and louder.
Eurolin was taken aback:
"Why are the footsteps getting closer and closer, could it be that the Prophet of Death in their mouths lives next door to me?"
The voice fell.
Matthew pointed to the end of the aisle.
The light of the torches was already shining.
A group of sneaky figures appeared in their field of vision.
Eurolin was taken aback.
The reaction from the other side was even more exaggerated, and they drew their swords in unison and took many steps back.
But after a while, he leaned forward a few steps very cautiously.
"You're in the wrong place."
Eurolin said stiffly.
The people on the other side looked at each other, and one of the middle-aged men walked to the front.
He held a torch aloof, and looked at Eurolin and Matthew:
"I don't think we're in the wrong place."
"This is where the Prophet of Death lives."
"Which of the two is the Prophet of Death?"
Eurolin and Matthew looked at each other.
As if suddenly something had happened, Eurolin exclaimed:
"So you're a Prophet of Death?"
Matthew spread his hands helplessly:
"Obviously, I don't live here."
The voice fell.
Matthew's figure disappeared in place.
Eurolin was left alone, stunned.
"That Death Prophet can't be me, can he?"
He smiled dryly at the group across from him.
The middle-aged man took out a scepter that exuded an icy aura and handed it over:
"Following God's guidance, we are here to invite the Death Prophet to join our Cult of Pluto!"
"God tells us that by holding on to this scepter, you, as a prophet of death, will remember everything from the past!"
As he spoke, he fell to his knees.
Crawled over step by step.
He knelt in front of Eurolin and raised his hands above his head:
"Please!"
The rest also knelt down and pleaded with great might:
"Please!"
However, Eurolin clasped his hands on his chest and stepped back again and again:
"Hmph, I don't want it!"
……
"Hint: In return for stepping into the soul realm, you will gain one of the following three abilities-
-
Soul Carapace (Your soul will be encased in a powerful shell that can withstand attacks from soul weapons or other soul levels)
-
Soul Splinter (you can split up to seven Soul Seeds, which can then be parasitic on different targets, monitored or manipulated) -
Super Sleep (your soul control is greatly improved, and after obtaining this ability, you only need to sleep for 2 hours a day, and you can get 8 hours of sleep under normal conditions)"
……
Matthew took a look.
I want them all.
It's a pity that you can only choose one of three.
In the end, he hesitated a little and chose "super sleep".
It's not uncommon for mages to stay up late.
Especially recently, Matthew often feels a little unwell, which may be a sign of lack of sleep and overdraft.
And with this ability.
Matthew can stay up all night in the open.
There was also a lot more time left for him to work hard.
This is more important than anything else to him who was born as a wild mage.
Come back to your senses.
"So Eurolin is what they call the Prophet of Death?"
"A lich who has done a lot of great things?"
Matthew thought it was incredible.
Until now, he had not been able to associate the word "Oroline" with the Lich.
And his body is too non-lich!
"Maybe there's something hidden, but it's a pity that it's time for iQue, and I don't know when the next time we meet......
Matthew's heart was filled with regret.
Thoughts flipped quickly.
The movements under his hands didn't stop.
Whoosh.
Matthew manipulated Ali's remnant soul and poured it into the black box at hand.
The box contained black nephrite.
This is the sublimated and solidified version of the dark god oil.
Through the treatment of special temperature and magic, the highly condensed dark god oil became a semi-liquid state, and then fixed with a transformation spell, which became a high-grade material that can be used to nourish the soul-
Black nephrite.
Black nephrite not only has a nourishing effect, but also a confinement function, and is a carrier for the remnant soul when signing a deep contract.
After the remnant soul is gathered.
Matthew closed the box and sealed thirteen incantations on it.
Then he took the silver dagger.
Tied to the box with a red rope.
This dagger is the sanction.
It is specially enchanted and is the nemesis of any spirit.
If Matthew wanted to kill Ali one day, he could use his mental power to control the dagger to pierce the box.
And after Ali's remnant soul was destroyed.
He himself will be wiped out in no time.
That's where the overbearing nature of the Deep Contract comes in.
If it weren't for that, Matthew wouldn't have moved out the Ghost Archon as a promise.
After the binding is complete.
Matthew began to write the contract, because he had already written the template before, and after the official landing, he wrote it smoothly.
Soon.
The deep contract was successfully completed with the blessing of Matthew's contract field.
Although he has the ability to overlord contracts.
But Matthew didn't do anything about the contract.
He gave the deed to Ali for a look.
The latter chooses to agree.
The deep contract is considered to be successfully bound!
……
"Hint: You've earned the number one Deep Pact Partner!
According to the Deep Contract Agreement, you can interact with him more......
Do you inject a lot of XP into Ghost Ali?
Inject successfully!
Ali's level has been raised to LV20!
Ali's template has been upgraded to "White Ghost"!"
……
Accompanied by a large amount of XP perfusion.
Ali's body lit up with a white light.
He looked at Matthew in surprise and delight, he didn't expect that as soon as the contract was signed, Matthew would give him such a rich experience package!
Ali's original level was LV16.
And Matthew directly pushed him to the quasi-legendary realm of level twenty!
That's the beauty of having a lot of XP in your hands.
Ali is grateful for this.
Matthew didn't care.
His experience has actually overflowed a lot.
Since large-scale cultivation.
Every tree planted by the zombie brother gives him XP.
What's more, the growth and breathing of the forest itself will generate XP.
Although there are not many of them.
But the accumulation over the years is not a small amount.
According to Matthew's own estimates.
The XP he has now is enough to sustain three people to attack the legend!
Of course.
It's hard to say that the legend is going up.
That's a higher realm, and it requires a lot of XP.
But Matthew is confident.
I'm sure I won't be bothered by XP.
"Do a good job and don't let me down!"
A few words of encouragement to Ali, who was overly excited.
Matthew got up and left the workshop.
He came to bring the surface.
Find a hole in the ground where there are a lot of animals, and randomly select a small animal to harass -
No.
It's talking.
Here's one of Matthew's daily routines:
"Animal Talk".
Before you know it, the animals that have communicated with Matthew have come to 298.
It's just one step away from completing the mission.
Matthew simply drew one more lucky person.
And after ending a conversation with a honey badger widow and two frogs who were awakened from hibernation.
The task of talking to animals has finally come to an end!
……
"Hint: You're done talking to animals!
You've been rewarded: a lot of XP & Necromantic Summons (Lich)."
……
The next second.
A portal appeared in front of Matthew.
He looked expectantly in the direction of the portal.
Followed by.
A somewhat familiar figure slowly emerged from the portal.
"You ......"
Matthew's voice was full of surprise.
The other party clasped his hands to his chest and shouted impatiently:
"I don't want it!"
At this time.
The figures of Lumière and Bobo appeared in the woods.
Hear the voice.
The two looked at each other.
Silently stepped back again.
Matthew looked at the information on the data bar without saying a word.
……
"Hint: You have acquired a newly signed Undead - "Death Prophet Eurolin" (Legendary Lich/Enigma Template)
Eurolin Details: ???
Spell mastered by Eurolin: Fireball (Unique)."
……
A lich who can only use fireballs?
Matthew looked at Eurolin and tilted his head, not knowing where to start for a moment.
……
