……

"It's also a talent ......"

After a cursory reading of Li Rick's origin information, Matthew nodded slightly:

"Your conditions can be met, but that layer of the cemetery needs to be opened up by yourself."

Li Rick is also refreshing:

"No problem."

"On top of that, I need five soul crystals every month as a basic reward."

Matthew looked at Li Ruike without changing his face.

The latter was calm, his head raised upward, and his black hole was at eye level with Matthew.

Matthew could feel a strong sense of confidence from the other party's soul fire.

The salary of five soul crystals is really not low.

The whole cemetery.

At present, only the mother of coolies, Miao Saqi, receives this salary.

But Miao Saqi has already fully demonstrated her worth.

The entire labor system of the Death Cemetery was supported by her own efforts.

Compared to normal zombies.

The creeper zombies and farmer zombies provide three or five times as much labor!

"Yes."

Matthew groaned and said:

"But if you don't show your value for a long time, I'll let you go."

Li Rick raised his chin proudly:

"You'll see what I'm capable of soon."

Matthew nodded, and he called Ali, the White Ghost, and introduced him to Rick:

"This is Ali, the director of the Death Fear Cemetery, just ask him if you have any needs."

"If you want a separate cemetery, then you can discuss with Ali to open up the fourth floor of the cemetery under the third layer, that is, the space with the underground river, and remember to give me a report before you start, and you can officially start construction after my approval."

Matthew instructed Ali and Leric.

There was no objection between them.

Matthew thought about it, and then told Ali separately that when he was exploring the fourth layer, he would explore the deeper underground space by the way.

This is to prepare for the opening of the fifth and sixth floors in the future.

Of course.

Throughout the exploration process, Matthew told Ali to strictly abide by the 300-meter rule.

No depth of more than 300 meters is allowed.

This is the iron law of the Seven Saints Alliance.

Matthew naturally doesn't break it easily.

What's more, with the continuous improvement of his strength, Matthew also gradually felt the unique rhythm and pulse in the depths of the earth.

He always remembered Melinda mentioning that something terrible was buried beneath Rolling Stone.

Matthew wasn't convinced before.

But then he gradually realized that Melinda might not be talking nonsense.

In short, there is no big mistake in being careful.

A six-story cemetery of the Dead.

At least enough before Matthew Legends.

Taking this opportunity, Matthew carried out a round of redistribution of positions and responsibilities within the cemetery.

In addition to the official appointment of the White Ghost Ali as the head of the Death's Fear Cemetery.

Matthew also has a different supervisor and deputy supervisor on each floor.

On the basement floor, he is in charge of the shield of the strange mountain, Agus, and also serves as the patrol leader; Deputy Director Renysme, in charge of a handful of zombies.

On the second basement floor, the supervisor was confirmed by the white ghost Ali, and the deputy director was the death knight 47, don't look at the 47 love horse, it looks a little unreliable, but recently Matthew has discovered that this guy is the one with the strongest comprehensive ability among the undead in his contract slot except for Peggy.

The downside is that it seems to be a bit of a stealing chicken.

Since he joined the cemetery, there have been frequent reports of horse thefts from nearby farms.

And there will always be a few more bone horses in the cemetery.

Matthew had to pay an extra fee for this.

The supervisor of the third basement floor is Paige for the time being.

Because she is one of the few necromancers who are not afraid of fire, and the deputy director is the human arsonist.

If there is a suitable candidate among the newly converted firefighters in the future, Matthew will also quickly adjust the appointment.

The fourth layer is naturally the new skeleton prince Li Ruike, and the deputy director is Ah Bing.

As Matthew's henchman.

A soldier has no management or communication skills at all, but he is good at loyalty and individual strength.

The appointment of Ah Bing as deputy supervisor is mainly to play the role of surveillance and deterrence.

After all, Li Rick is a newcomer.

Matthew didn't know him yet, so he had to be more or less on guard.

As for the next five or six floors, let's talk about it.

With the increasing number of elite immortals in the cemetery, the materials available under Matthew's hands are no longer as stretched as before.

He believes it won't be long.

Your own cemetery will become an impregnable fortress.

Even someday.

He believed that the directors of every floor of his cemetery were legendary immortals!

Although it is still a little far from this dream.

But Matthew could clearly feel that he was moving towards that goal step by step!

"I don't know when Eurolin will be back."

In fact, Matthew on the third floor was originally intended to be handed over to Eurolin.

The Lich Brother is the first person in the cemetery in terms of rank and combat effectiveness.

It's a pity that this guy has been gone for so long and still hasn't heard from him.

Matthew can only conclude by contract that he is still alive.

I just don't know where to run.

"Probably lost, right?"

Matthew laughed to himself.

He did a quick calculation, and as he calculated, his brow furrowed:

"Soul crystals aren't enough."

Soul crystals are the most powerful resource used by necromancers to entrap elite undead.

Since Matthew entered the realm of necromancy, with the ability to control meditation enhancement, he has obtained three times the number of soul crystals through daily meditation.

It is precisely because of this super ability to obtain soul crystals.

so that he can afford to raise so many elite immortals.

can be accompanied by the arrival of Li Rick.

The gap in the soul crystal suddenly stood out again.

If Matthew wants to recruit more elite immortals in the future.

Then this gap is likely to continue to expand!

"The mother of coolies' salary is inconvenient to deduct, she has a good working attitude, even the god of war dares to smoke, and she is also a top dog, she can't chill her heart OK......"

"Last time, I promised to give Peggy a salary increase this month, and it's really inconvenient to repay the bills anymore."

"I have to find a way to open source ......"

Matthew sighed.

"It's still Xiao Boiling sensible, and after becoming a king, I never asked for soul crystals again."

Ordinary necromancers can only obtain soul crystals through meditation.

Only a very small number of people with high mana power dare to find another way in the negative energy plane to find the source of the soul crystal.

"On the King's Mountain in the Land of the Six Rings, those Necromantic Sovereigns must know how to find soul crystals."

Matthew settled.

This is the first avenue where it is possible to find additional soul crystals.

As for the second.

He took a pen and wrote down the words "traces of the dead" on paper.

The Ember Bringer had burst out of a lot of soul crystals!

The Traces of the Dead in Rolling Stone Town is just an extension, and Matthew still makes a small stroke.

If you can come up to the main vein of the mark of the dead, then a knife.

How many surprises will there be?

Pity.

It is not convenient for him to meddle in the affairs of the Jade Court for the time being.

Matthew thought about it, though.

Although Jade Cangting politely refused to enter the country.

But it's not like you can't sneak in.

It's a big deal to use camouflage spells, and you can just blow up a pseudonym for everyone.

Matthew couldn't help but think of the last time he met Jasmine, the white tiger elf in the Garden of Fallen Leaves.

As the moon in the Wind Chaser.

She must have some knowledge of the current state of the Marks of the Dead.

It's a pity that the last time we met, because of the sensitivity of tomb robbing, Matthew chose to lie about his identity.

I'm afraid this line won't be needed.

Matthew thought for a moment.

Then he pulled out a stack of blank paper and wrote two letters.

One letter to Ai Lan in the winter moon.

The other was addressed to Beanna.

The letter to Ai Lan is a formulaic politeness, and Matthew also knows that Ai Lan is embarrassed now.

She has both the identity of an elf and an alliance mage, and under the increasingly delicate relationship between the elf clan and the Seven Saints Alliance, it is inconvenient to speak out about many things.

Therefore, Matthew just asks casually, as a daily greeting between friends.

The letter to Beanna was much longer for him.

On the one hand, the two are indeed more familiar.

On the other hand, because the place where Beanna lives seems to be very close to the traces of the dead, she should have a lot of first-hand information.

Matthew plans to see if he can catch some surprises.

On this year's Mudon Festival, although Beanna did not send a red scarf to Matthew, she actually wrote him a letter.

However, the letter was delayed for several days due to traffic problems before it arrived in Rolling Stone.

The above is much more concise than before.

Matthew could clearly sense that the girl's mentality seemed to have changed drastically.

As for the reasons for the change.

I'm afraid it had something to do with the abyss deathmatch she experienced with Sif.

She may have misunderstood Matthew's relationship with Seve .

It's also possible that they're covering up something.

The relationship between the girls is too complicated, and Matthew doesn't bother to clarify them one by one.

His point is simple.

Just be yourself.

After writing the letter, Matthew asked the messenger Sanger to deliver it.

And he himself only rested a little.

He brought a few spell books and spread them out on the table.

One of the most striking of these.

It was Qin Wuyue's "Tainted" presented to him.

For Matthew.

The learning of spells never ends.

He knew that his basic skills were not solid.

So the only thing he can do is to seize every minute and every second, and eagerly absorb the knowledge from the books.

That's it.

More than ten days have passed.

It's mid-January.

There was no new news from the Blood Moon.

Matthew went to 177 for this purpose.

The latter told Matthew.

The current situation on the moon is that a bunch of people are arguing.

All the representatives of the relevant interests present are working together to find a way to save the Blood Moon.

Only Ronan spends his days thinking about smashing the moon down.

on this.

The natives of the moon, the gods of the hunt, and the leaders of the primeval lands have lodged a solemn protest against the Seven Holy Alliance.

They thought Ronan was a heinous crime.

As the author of all this, not only did he not have the slightest repentance, but he also tried to make things worse.

"His destructiveness even surpasses that of the Demon Monarch of Wild Wolf Mountain!"

"He doesn't deserve to be called the Guardian of Aindor!"

This is the indignant assessment made by a top powerhouse above the moon who participated in an impromptu meeting when he left the arena at one point.

Everyone was extremely disgusted with Ronan.

But at their level, the way to think about things is actually very simple.

If they have the ability to kill Ronan.

Then things won't drag on until now.

Since they don't have the power to kill Ronan, they can't sit back and wait for the blood moon to fall.

Then everyone must reason with Ronan in a good voice.

It is said that in recent days.

The heinous Wanderers even spoke to Ronan about truth, goodness, and beauty.

Matthew was an eye-opener after listening to it.

"Are they really so soft?"

"Ronan destroyed the moon's core in front of the god of hunting, and he still has to reason with him?"

He asked177.

And 177's answer was:

"Oh, of course not, they've lost their temper too."

"But because they couldn't kill Ronan, and even two of them were injured by Ronan, they had to compromise with each other in the end."

"In fact, during the entire meeting, they also secretly unified their voices and strongly demanded that the Seven Saints Alliance replace the person in charge of the Blood Moon negotiations."

Matthew asked curiously:

"What about the back?"

"Ronan didn't agree?"

177 shook his head:

"Ronan agreed faster than anyone else."

"It's just that when those people learned that after Ronan left, the next person in charge of the alliance to take over the negotiations was Ms. Isabel, and they invited Ronan back as quickly as possible."

Matthew suddenly smiled dumbly when he heard this.

These people also know current affairs.

"By the way, since Lady Isabel returned to the Far North Floating City, Ekmond's popularity has skyrocketed both inside and outside the Alliance."

"Especially outside the alliance, many people miss him like never before, according to them, although Ekmund is a perverted voyeur, he is already one of the few normal people in the upper echelons of the alliance."

177 concludes so.

Matthew nodded in agreement.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and he used to think that Ekmund was too sneaky and did not have the royal demeanor of a superior person.

But Matthew found out later.

Ekmond came up to do at least something, but the means were quite subtle.

But the other god mages or high-ranking legends, except for Suriel, who got into the eyes of money, are basically half crazy!

But madness is madness.

Matthew also realizes that Ronan's methods have worked, and he has beaten the god of hunting and the Wanderers of the primeval lands at the same time, and no one else can take revenge on him.

Apparently.

He has the power to cause trouble.

It also has the ability to solve the calamities caused by troubles.

After reaching a certain level.

The means are not important.

It's the ability that counts.

……

Cloud plateau, southeast.

In the snow-covered cemetery, Matthew was alone, pacing slowly.

He was inspecting the burial of deep pits.

It was also good luck for him, according to the climate of previous years, this part of the Yunshang Plateau should have been covered with snow a long time ago.

But this year's weather was a bit unusual.

Until mid-January.

That is, after the framework of the cemetery branch was initially established, the land was covered with a thick silver veil.

The framework of the cemetery division is simple.

Aside from a very hidden fountain of negative energy, there are almost no buildings.

Around the fountain are huge deep pits, the number and scale of the deep pits are very large, that is, in the cloud plateau, where the land is not valuable, if it is replaced by Rolling Stone Town, this area can almost encompass the existing Rolling Stone Town.

The edges of these pits are hastily wrapped in negative energy coatings and runes.

Inside, the body of a mammoth is buried.

And the hunters who were frozen to death or trampled to death by the Super Silver Dragon.

On the periphery of the pit are two circles of one-man high stone walls.

Outside the place is the camouflage formation that Matthew has purchased at great expense.

This formation can greatly improve the concealment of the cemetery.

At least until the beginning of spring next year.

It is unlikely that anyone will find out here.

Ma Xiu walked between the pits, meticulously checking the pits for omissions.

He's doing one last check-up.

Heavy snow hides the mammoth's corpse, and soon the cold realm will descend on the place.

Under the blessing of the dual realm of extreme cold and negative energy.

The carcass of the mammoth will not only be well preserved, but its spirituality will also increase significantly compared to its original state.

Matthew intends to make these mammoths undead after the beginning of spring.

The reason why such a cumbersome process is used.

It was because he wanted to make a batch of "Zombie Mammoths" with extremely cold attributes.

If Matthew chooses to summon it directly, due to the size of the mammoth, the success rate of summoning a zombie mammoth is very low, and it is more likely to get a batch of skeleton mammoths.

As everyone knows.

"The one with the flesh is stronger than the bone frame" is common sense when comparing the undead of the same level.

Coupled with the fact that the larger the size of the skeleton creature, the higher the requirements for the quality of the soul fire, if Matthew wants to make the quality of the skeleton mammoth up to the standard, he must increase the investment in the soul.

This can significantly increase production costs.

Matthew didn't plan to spend so much money and energy on Mammoth.

Therefore, the zombie mammoth is a better choice.

And comparatively.

Dragons are a different story.

Like other creatures, the undead transformed from dragons can be divided into three types-

Bone Dragon;

Ghost Dragon;

Zombie dragons.

Among them, Osthosaurus is the most common.

Ghost dragons are also available, but they are rarer.

Only the zombie dragon has almost never been seen in the world's eye.

This is because of the "Curse of the Zombie Dragon".

The so-called curse of the zombie dragon refers to a mystery in the realm of necromancy-

All of the zombie dragons that have been crafted throughout history have been very short-lived.

It seems that they will be cursed by some force from the moment they are born.

It won't take long.

Zombie dragons will die violently for various reasons.

Unless the zombie dragon can change its attributes in time - for example, Matthew knows that a zombie dragon has taken refuge in purgatory immediately after its birth, giving itself demonic attributes, thus successfully avoiding this curse.

That zombie dragon is still a small lord on a certain level of purgatory.

But his racial attributes are actually more devils than zombie dragons.

As a result, necromancers usually do not have a zombie dragon option when confronted with a dragon's corpse.

And the ghost dragon needs the necromancer to forcibly extract its soul and all of its spirituality from the body when killing the dragon-

It's a tough process, and if you're not careful, you can mess up.

Therefore, the bone dragon is the most suitable choice for necromancers.

Matthew is no exception.

In the past ten days, he has disposed of the corpse of the white dragon Adams, and the materials taken from the white dragon have also been put together with the previous dragon treasure-

About these "Dragon's Treasures".

Matthew plans to wait until he is done with his work, and make a special visit to Roderick's alchemy factory to find a well-known alchemist to work with.

He expects the process to cost a significant amount of money.

So before leaving, Matthew intends to save a large sum of money.

As for the idea of selling the dragon's corpse for money, Matthew hadn't thought about it at all.

You can't sell raw materials for anything!

He would rather borrow money to pay for the processing fee than sell the Dragon Treasure, and several mages in the alliance had contacted Matthew to buy the Dragon Treasure, but due to the lack of sincerity in the offer, they were all rejected by Matthew.

……

Inspect all the pits.

Matthew left the snowy plateau in a happy mood.

He returned to the Graveyard of the Dead and made his way to his warehouse.

On the floor of the warehouse, the lines that summon negative energy flow clearly, and a cart of keels is placed in the center in a categorical manner.

Matthew walked over and took stock.

At present, there are seven dragon corpses in his hands, including-

the hapless White Dragon Adams;

Cool Sulus, the red dragon who died in Fei Capital's dragon-slaying spear;

the black dragon Meonogas, who was used as a dragon descending weapon;

Young white, red, green, and blue dragons from the secondary planes;

So stocked.

It's not ungenerous.

In fact, the warehouse that Matthew built on the basement level is a bit overwhelmed!

He understands too.

It's time to start making bone dragons!

Making a bone dragon is the signature of a fifth-order necromancer.

But Matthew has mastered the realm of necromancers, so he can get his hands on it early.

He looked around.

In the end, the skeleton of the young white dragon was selected as the test subject.

There is no other reason.

There is still a certain failure rate in making bone dragons.

And the bones of the white dragon are not distressed to be wasted.

At that moment, Matthew called a team of creeper zombies and asked them to push away several carts loaded with the bones of the young white dragon.

A moment later.

Matthew calls to Philorius.

Under the reverse call of Xiao Boil.

Matthew has once again come to the negative energy plane.

The land of the Six Rings, King's Mountain.

In a deep valley halfway up the mountain.

Matthew felt the extremely strong negative energy around him.

Philorius followed not far behind him.

"The negative energy here is too abundant, and it is the most ideal place to make bone dragons!"

Matthew also saw the body of Beamon in the deep valley.

It seems that Xiao Boiling is still a bit cultural.

Knowing that there is an abundance of negative energy here, it is suitable for Beamon's corpse to transform into an immortal on its own.

It's just that this kind of transformation without external intervention is very slow.

It can take decades or even centuries for a new undead to form.

Matthew clearly doesn't have that patience.

He intended for Beamon to do the same spiritual precipitation here as the mammoths.

Make sure that its flesh does not decay at the same time.

Wait until Matthew has accumulated enough experience in the summoning of large undead on dragons and mammoths.

He came back to perform the resurrection ritual of this head of Beamon.

Although the passivity of the Lord of the Necromancy was interrupted by the God of the Hunt.

But Matthew believes that the undead Beamon, who has been resurrected by his own hands, will definitely be more powerful than the effect of the Lord of the Necromancy!

"Lend you the valley for a while."

Matthew smiled and said hello to Xiao Boil.

He then had the zombies push the cart to the middle of the valley.

Then he walked over and picked up the bones one by one and put them on the ground.

He was going to piece the bones together into the original frame of the white dragon.

It's actually a very difficult process.

It is also the path that every necromancer must go through when making a bone dragon.

It's as if you have to oil a black warrior with your own hands when you make it.

Putting together the skeleton of the bone dragon by hand is also a must for necromancers.

That's the only way.

There is a better tacit understanding between the summoned bone dragon and the necromancer.

And the closer the framework built by the necromancer to the appearance of the bone dragon before its death, the stronger and more potential the latter will be.

Therefore, it is a process in which you cannot skip class or borrow the hand of someone else.

Da-da-da-da.

The crisp sound of bones colliding rang out in the valley from time to time.

Matthew built it very seriously.

He swiftly and calmly went back and forth to the cart, picking up bones and placing them on the ground.

He also carried a bucket of negative energy glue that was bubbling black in his hand-

This glue is usually used to make stitching monsters.

And when reconstructing the framework of large skeletal units.

They also play an irreplaceable role.

After igniting the soul fire.

The bone dragon can certainly use the power of soul fire to tighten the bones of the whole body inward and maintain enough gravitational force.

But before that.

If you don't want the skeleton you have worked so hard to build for a long time to be staggered by a gust of wind.

Negative energy glue is an indispensable prop.

All in all.

The process of piecing together the bone dragons was extremely arduous, although Matthew had deliberately kept their corresponding parts when dismembering the dragon's corpses, and had made various drawings in advance.

But when it came time to practice.

He was still dizzy.

It took a week.

He piled up the relatively small white dragon skeleton.

in the valley.

Matthew rubbed his aching neck with one hand, and an infinite sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.

The completion of the construction of the white dragon skeleton is very high.

This laid a solid foundation for the successful completion of the Bone Dragon Summoning.

Even more gratifying.

Due to Matthew's extensive use of the Mage's Hand, the Pale Hand, and Estro's Claws in the process of building the skeleton.

At the end of a week of hard work.

He unexpectedly mastered a new ability!

……

"Hand Kung Fu: The fingers of your biological hand and the fingers of the spell or ability hand have been greatly improved in dexterity and efficiency.

Special.

When you're using the Physiological Fingers, Mage's Hand, Estro's Claws, and Equalizer's Hand.

You will be slightly stimulated by your mental energy.

and to make one's concentration slowly improve."

……

This is not a domain competency.

It's the ability that Matthew has mastered through the accumulation of hands!

This is a very gratifying achievement.

To know.

Matthew has mastered sign language spellcasting!

The more dexterity the finger is, the more effective it will be to cast spells.

What's more, this ability can even stimulate the improvement of concentration.

"You must continue to train your hands diligently in the future!"

"You still can't be too lazy, you can't leave everything to my little brother to do!"

Exhilarating.

Matthew told himself again.

And after the skeleton is built.

This brings us to the second and most important step in making a bone dragon-

Find the right soul.

This is also an important feature of the bone dragon that distinguishes it from other undead.

The soul fire of the bone dragon needs a complete soul to light up.

And undead like the Black Knight.

The necromancer only needs to awaken the spirituality itself on his corpse to ignite the soul fire.

The gap between the two also determines the essential difference between the Bone Dragon and the Black Warrior and other mid-level undead.

The soul fire of the most powerful bone dragon must be ignited by the soul of a dragon.

This was the case with Philorius.

He's so powerful because his massive skeleton contains a true dragon's soul!

And some bone dragons only have fourth-order or even third-order combat power.

A lot of the time it's because the soul fire is too weak.

But this can't be blamed on the owners of those bone dragons.

Where do ordinary necromancers go to find dragon souls?

Most are looking for some alternatives.

For example, the spirits of geosaurs, dinosaurs, wurms, and even some beasts.

The most outrageous bone dragon ever recorded in history was made by a non-necromancer.

The latter used to ignite the soul fire of the bone dragon was the soul of a hunting dog.

The hound was the mage's pet.

To commemorate the pet, the mage killed a dragon and then attempted to stuff the hound's soul into the dragon's skeleton.

He did it.

But he also failed.

The point of success is that the bone dragon actually moved.

The point of failure is.

The skullsaurus only survived in this world for seven seconds.

Thus.

The importance of soul fire strength to bone dragons.

The soul of the wurm species can only be compatible with the body of the bone dragon, not controlled.

Only the soul of a true dragon can be a perfect match!

It's a pity.

Matthew also doesn't have the ability to extract the soul of a true dragon.

This thing is very demanding in the soul realm.

It has to be legendary to be able to do it.

Therefore, he had to settle for the next best.

Trying to summon some wurm or dinosaur spirits from the underworld.

Use this to ignite the soul fire of the bone dragon.

Soon.

Matthew set up a Soul Summoning circle in the middle of the valley.

The circle pointed to the Poison Dragon Island of the underworld.

That's where the wurm species belonged after death.

He was going to try his luck.

Accompanied by the sound of incantations.

The light on the circle gradually condensed into a clear outline.

Just the next moment.

A look of surprise appeared on Matthew's face.

Because the spirits he summoned did not belong to wurms or dinosaurs.

It was a humanoid soul.

"Hello, Matthew."

Viscount Fan smiled at him kindly:

"Forgive me for being uninvited, but I do want to talk to you."

"Tell me about something about the cult of the underworld."

……

Double on the last day, vote for those who have a monthly pass, thank you, I will continue to work hard!
