Frankly.

Matthew was resistant to this spell.

He briefly checked the description of the spell, and he felt that the evil sect was so powerful that it even made people feel creepy!

Unlike the traditional spells of the Eindor world, all the principles of casting spells are clearly visible, and the underlying logic is also clear.

The spell of the parasitic skull seems to have a somewhat plausible flavor.

Even Ekmond.

I also know it, but I don't know why.

If it weren't for practice, this spell would be able to be applied and quite effective.

Matthew would even suspect that it was a fake spell!

He was determined.

Take a closer look.

It was discovered that if you want to practice this spell, you must use the power of the aether and your own blood to "enlighten" a specific head.

The so-called enlightenment.

It's also a ritual magic from the Otherworld.

The purpose is to awaken a part of the spirituality in the skull, which in turn is related to eating.

As long as you can wake up successfully.

Then the cultivation of this spell is close to completion.

And in terms of the choice of heads.

Mentioned in the Magic Book.

The best thing is to cultivate your own head.

In this case.

Once the Parasitic Skull is successfully cultivated, your head can be separated from your body at any time, not only in terms of casting efficiency, spell strength, and casting accuracy.

And it's equivalent to having a second life.

The parasitic skull naturally has many means of escape, making it almost impossible for the enemy to catch it.

And as long as the parasitic skull can escape.

All you need to do is keep eating away at living creatures to get a new body!

"It looks a bit like the cultivation method of the incarnation in Xianxia......"

Matthew scratched his head.

It's worthy of being an otherworldly spell.,The painting style is really different.。

But if he chooses for himself.

He still won't cultivate his head easily.

After all, the book makes it clear.

In order to initiate the head, it is necessary to cut off one's own head, hold it in one's arms at a certain time, and chant mantras that conform to the ritual......

That scene was terrifying when Matthew thought about it.

Moreover, he cultivated this spell only to resist the invasion of the Void Bloodline.

There is no need for him to put himself in order to pursue the power of spells.

And if you choose someone else's head as a carrier of the parasitic skull.

Then there are two rules here -

The original owner's spirit must not be separated, otherwise there may be a backlash during the spell casting;

The higher the strength of the original owner of the skull, the more powerful the parasitic skull can exert.

The above two points are not too big a problem for Matthew.

Necromancers are naturally spiritually sensitive, and finding a clean and hygienic skull is a breeze.

As for whether he was strong enough in his lifetime.

Matthew also has a way of making rough judgments.

"Anyway, it's only used to replenish elements regularly, and if there are other ways to replenish elements in the future, this spell can be sealed......"

He still doesn't like the parasitic skull.

The main thing is that this thing is too evil.

The life eaten by it has almost completely erased the traces of its existence and birth.

Its elements are devoured and wiped clean by the caster, leaving no leftovers of the soul.

This is a bit of a cross line for Matthew.

And at this point.

The spell of the Parasitic Skull is actually similar to the Seizure of the Changeling.

However, according to the description of the spellbook and Ekmond's notes.

Parasitic Skull is a spell that has a strong ability to grow.

In fact, it is very suitable for mages to cultivate as a signature spell.

"Let's look at it later......"

He closed the spellbook and immediately expressed his sincere gratitude to Ekmond.

One way or another.

It's all a priceless magic book.

In the case that Matthew had rejected Ekmund before, the other party was still willing to help him, which was already quite generous.

"You don't have to see me, Matthew."

"I'm actually glad that there are people like me in the Alliance, even though you are forced to do so, and I do it voluntarily."

Ekmund smiled and handed a dark purple talisman into Matthew's hand:

"This is a concealment talisman, which can cover the abnormal aura on your body, and when you learn the parasitic skull, you can suppress the void bloodline by filling in the elements, and no one will be able to find out at that time."

"Until then, I suggest you wear this amulet, it will save you a lot of trouble."

Matthew thought for a moment, then obediently took the amulet, and thanked Ekmund again.

The latter smiled and continued the previous topic:

"After all the troubles, the next thing is the benefits that the Void Bloodline can bring you."

"First of all, it strengthens your body in all aspects.

The Void Bloodline increases your limb flexibility, energy recovery, alertness to danger, sensitivity to anomalous smells, and more.

Secondly, it can make you more focused, and if you quantify it, the Void Bloodline will at least add a little extra focus to your daily work, don't underestimate that, it can create extra wealth for you over time.

Finally, and most importantly.

I suspect that the Void Bloodline is a stepping stone to the Aether Realm, and since I had the Void Bloodline, it was as if I had opened my mind, learning magic and mastering the realm countless times faster than before!

So to speak.

As long as you have the Void Bloodline.

Even if you're just an ordinary person, you'll turn into a magical genius.

And your magical genius is all-encompassing, all-domain!

As long as there are enough resources.

You may be touching a ceiling that ordinary people dare not imagine.

Of course, this increase in magical talent is not unlimited.

As far as I observed.

It will only raise your all-domain talent to the level of an ordinary genius.

But it's impossible to catch up with the real super genius.

In other words.

It can only rigidly push your talent to a fixed level, rather than adding to your original level. ”

Matthew nodded.

Ekmond made it clear.

Even if he added seven or eight Void bloodlines, it was estimated that he would not be able to catch up with a demon like Hibbert.

But this thing can at least make up for Matthew's shortcomings in some areas.

In fact.

It's true that his magical talent isn't very high.

If it weren't for this sick system.

Matthew couldn't have come this far!

Finally.

Ekmond sighed:

"My talent is probably the worst of all the high-ranking legendary mages, but I still have the realm fruits of the ten magical realms, second only to Lord Isabel in terms of comprehensiveness."

"The Void Bloodline has played a big role in this."

"So you don't have to be too resistant to this, after all, there is no right or wrong power itself, sometimes you don't need to investigate its source, just think about how to use it."

Matthew suddenly looked teachable.

Immediately, he suddenly couldn't help but ask:

"The teacher is more versatile than you?"

"Then will she ...... too?"

Ekmund shook his head with a sneer:

"You're thinking too much."

"She's a real genius."

"If there is no natural calamity mage, she is the supreme of mages, the kind that shines through the ages."

Matthew laughed dryly and quickly dispelled the absurd thoughts.

Also.

If even Isabel had Void blood.

What is the Lord of the Void doing?

Just wait for the other party's boss to vote!

The two chatted for a while.

Matthew took a chance and asked:

"You've helped me so much, I want to do something for you."

"Is there anything I need to work for?"

Ekmond looked at him with a smirk:

"Will it be okay to join Snake Mountain?"

Matthew suddenly smiled wryly:

"It's not that I don't want to join the Snake Mountain Club, it's just that I really don't have more energy to distract from other aspects now......"

Ekmond didn't seem to mind:

"Just kidding."

"There's nothing I need you to do here, if you have the heart, say a few nice words for me in front of Ronan."

"By the way, find a time, you can return these things to Ronan - remember to pick when he's in a good mood."

Between words.

Several wooden boxes appeared in front of Matthew.

Ekmond waved his hand.

The box opens automatically, revealing bold and well-made women's clothes inside......

Matthew was taken aback:

"What are these things?"

Ekmond said without changing his face:

"Oh."

"These are the clothes I borrowed from Ronan's house, and I haven't had time to return them to him, so please pass them on on my behalf."

Matthew was silent.

Ekmond was silent.

After a while.

Matthew said with some difficulty:

"A relic of the goddess of magic, Yeli?"

Ekmond smiled and nodded:

"That's true."

"Yeli is an unprecedented conspicuous bag, both in life and after death, she longs for everyone's eyes to be on her, especially men, she wishes all men were engrossed in learning her magic while working, and in heat all the time in leisure......"

"That's why she's stuffed her underwear with magical mysteries and seductive illusion traps, and honestly, it's not easy to get Yeli's rewards through these traps."

"I was a guest at Ronan's house and accidentally brought them back."

"Hey, I really didn't mean to, I just wanted to improve myself......"

Matthew looked at the boxes of intimate clothes, and his mind was already thinking about how to refuse Ekmond.

Ekmond winked at him:

"You can pick a few of them and take them with you."

"The Goddess of Magic's intimate clothing is not something that anyone is qualified to touch, so maybe you can learn the meaning of magic from it?"

"Don't worry, I have reached a tacit agreement with Ronan, he will never be angry with you because of this, it really can't be done, you can transfer it to him through Qin Wuyue."

"Matthew? You're willing to help with this little favor, right? ”

Matthew sighed helplessly.

He had vaguely guessed that Ekmund might have stolen something from Ronan.

I didn't expect it to be the Goddess of Magic's Vault!

Ecmond may have compensated Ronan in some other way.

But this incident must still make Ronan very unhappy.

Matthew didn't want to get involved.

But Ekmond had said it all, and it would be a bit unthinkable to refuse.

At the moment, he could only put away all the boxes, and turned around to hand them over to Ronan through 177-

Even if he didn't have any brains, he wouldn't have passed it on through Qin Wuyue according to Ekmond's words.

The ghost knows if Qin Wuyue knows that Ronan's secret treasure of the goddess of magic is these things!

In case the two couples do not get along because of this.

You're definitely going to be out of luck!

When the time came, she lost the blue eyes of Ronan and Qin Wuyue, and Isabel rarely cared about trivial and specific things.

Won't Matthew just turn his head to Ekmond?

"This old man really has a hundred hearts!"

"You have to be careful!"

Matthew secretly made up his mind in his heart, and responded respectfully on the surface:

"I'll try."

He then shifted the conversation to the processing and subsequent development of the sampan plane.

As an experienced legendary mage.

Ekmond really gave Matthew a lot of useful advice.

When Matthew invited him to participate in the development of the sampan plane, Ekmund readily agreed, and told Matthew that he could lend him a group of people for emergencies.

Wait until Matthew's own men are in place.

Just put those people back.

After Matthew expressed his gratitude again, he said that he would make a decision depending on the situation.

After all.

He was not the only one who wanted to invite Ekmond.

As has been the practice in the past.

Qin Wuyue and Ronan's Southern Mage Legion was the main force in the subsequent development of the sampan plane.

It's also a small reward from Matthew for these two legends who take good care of him.

Pull so many legends into the game.

This means that the profits that Matthew can make on the sampan plane will be greatly apportioned.

But he also knew it in his heart.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Only in this way can he sit back and relax and continue to grow his strength.

Anyway, he'd already earned enough in the process of attacking the sampan plane.

for the benefit of subsequent development.

He's not so greedy, just have some points!

After leaving the Snake Hill Castle.

Matthew immediately returned to the Jade Court to check on the situation.

In the Winward Valley.

It's a depression.

Everywhere you look, the soldiers of the Wind Chasers are maintaining order.

It's just that the situation here is not as chaotic as Matthew imagined.

Most entertainment establishments are out of business at this time.

It is said that a group of troublemakers have been arrested, and the remaining people either obediently cooperate with the search, or hide in their homes without leaving the house.

The investigation of the alliance mages led by Hood in Windward Valley can be described as surprisingly smooth.

They didn't even face much resistance from within the elves.

The reason is also very simple.

Compared to the search for fellow sorcerers in Windward Vale, which erupted due to the attack on the alliance mages, the drama that was unfolding elsewhere in the Jade Court attracted the attention of the elves even more.

The former Generalissimo of the Wind Chaser, the former regent of the Elven Clan, and the Sword of the Apocalypse, Saint Terlast, are slaughtering the remnants of the Willow Leaf Mechanism and the Council of Elders!

And the executor of the killing.

Throughout the time, there was only one Terast himself!

Matthew had already learned about this from Hibbert.

But he still felt a little strange.

Therefore, after returning to Windward Valley, he immediately went to verify the matter.

Soon.

Matthew found Hood in a circle of King Kong golems.

"What's going on?"

"I heard that Terast has gone berserk suddenly?"

He asked Hood with a puzzled expression.

Hood was also overjoyed to see Matthew.

He wanted to inquire about the situation on the sampan plane, but when Matthew asked like this, he quickly replied:

"Yes, just the night before yesterday, Terast, who originally claimed to be going to slay dragons, suddenly returned to the Jade Garden."

"At dawn that day, twelve members of the former Presbyterian Church died, and those corpses were all killed by bursting heads, and the murderer's methods were crisp and neat, and they were completely killed with one hit."

"There were many theories circulating during the day that day, because the murderer's methods of crime were very similar to those of the Bamboo Stick Party back then, but the degree was much more serious, and some people suspected that it was on the head of Terast, but it was still a minority after all."

"But the next night and last night, Terast went into action again."

"This time, he killed nearly two hundred wood elves in one go, some of them were members of the Council of Elders, and some were members of other elven organizations that held high positions in the Willow Leaf Agency."

"Because there were so many people involved, the footage of Terast's murder was seen by more than one person, which eventually triggered accusations and panic throughout the process."

"Yesterday afternoon, Tyrani went door-to-door with the Wind Chasers to calm the emotions of the civilians, and she was still clarifying that it must be a misunderstanding, or someone framed it."

"But this morning, Terast openly confessed that he was the one who killed the elven clans."

At the same time, he also made public a plan that he was about to move forward with -

That is, starting from the 1st of the next month, all wood elves who have reached the age of six hundred must take the initiative to leave the Jade Court and enter the ancient elf sanctuary called the Secret Light Jungle, where they will spend the rest of their lives.

The news has already come out.

The entire jade court exploded.

All the elves thought Terast was crazy.

Someone took to the streets.

Others rushed directly to Terast to insult him.

Even the Wind Chasers have seen infighting.

At present, only the two descendant forces of Shadow Leopard and Yueyao are still under the dispatch of Terast.

Even these two forces.

Many of the members were also unhappy with Terlast's atrocities and what was going to happen next.

But what upset the elves were.

At present, Terast's whereabouts are haunted, and everyone knows that he is in the Jade Garden, but no one can keep up with him, and no one can find him!

Even his daughter, Terani, is at a loss for it.

The people of the Willow Leaf Mechanism were terrified.

Terast is like a ghost executioner to them.

No one knows when he will show up and take their lives.

It is also because Terast attracts enough firepower.

Our operations in Windward Valley have instead gone quite smoothly.

As of this morning.

We've identified 113 Wood Elves who have colluded with Lance.

The Wood Elves are all in captivity.

Theoretically, we need to inform the Jade Court and get their consent before we can send people away.

But now this is the case.

You can do whatever you want. ”

Hood's tone sounded a little gloating.

As the boss of Riptide City, who is good friends with the Wood Elves, he seems happy to see such a big mess in the Jade Garden.

Matthew was also a master who didn't think it was a big deal to watch others be lively.

But he is more concerned about the changes in the front and back feet of Terast.

He recalled.

Before leaving the Jade Court, Teras did say that he had a very important plan to pursue.

Come on now.

It's probably a plan to banish elves over 600 years old to the Jungle of Secret Light.

Matthew gets a detailed version of the "Path to Glory" plan released by Terast from Hood.

It describes more accurately how to determine whether it meets the conditions that must be entered into the Secret Light Jungle in practice.

"According to the above statement, after reaching the age of 600, the wood elves can no longer stay in the Jade Court and the nearby forests, and can either choose to enter the shelter to enjoy their old age, or they can only wander in the territory of other races......"

"The only exception is the executor of the Path of Glory, the enforcer of the plan to ensure that the plan is properly run, and the first regulator without exception is Terast himself, who is already over 600 years old, and he cannot banish himself in order to ensure that everyone else can abide by these rules......"

Matthew's brow furrowed slightly.

Terast's plan was a bit too exaggerated and too bold.

As far as he knew.

Wood Elves are 120 years old and adults.

Between the ages of 120~300 is a more active youth, in this period of elves have a strong creative meaning and learning ability, and the ideas are more advanced and trendy.

300~600 years old is the mature period of elves.

At this time, the wood elves not only have a more mature mind and a comprehensive understanding of the world, but also have reached the peak of all aspects of their physical functions, and their acceptance of new things will not be to the point of complete resistance.

And over 600 years old is old age.

According to Hood's cursory investigation.

At present, there are about 60,000 wood elves in the Jade Garden, of which about 18,000 elves are over 600 years old, that is, they meet the banishment conditions of Terast.

That's nearly a third of the population!

Even if it's for Matthew to come.

He didn't plan to optimize one-third of the Wood Elves all at once!

"This elf old man is too extreme!"

The necromancer couldn't help but let out such an emotion.

Hood also nodded:

"There's no way he's going to make it."

"There is a limit to the fear of violence unless he is really willing to kill the more than 18,000 old elves......"

"But then again, he seems to have the strength."

Matthew mused:

"Do you know what happened to Terast after he left the Jade Court?"

Hood shook his head:

"No one can know the whereabouts of Terast."

"The Elven Sword Master is a very unpopular profession, and we don't even know what abilities he is proficient in!"

"Unless the Seven Saints take action in person, the other mages dare not say that they will definitely be able to win against Terast."

"All we know is that he did go to the Court of Fallen Leaves, because the morning after Terast returned to the city, a huge green dragon's head hung directly above the northern gates."

"I've checked it, it's the head of the green dragon Fatina who has been harassing the Jade Court all these years!"

"He really killed the Green Dragon!"

Matthew was a little dumbfounded.

The cunning of the green dragon Fatina is known to the world.

Before, she had been dealing with Jade Cangting for so many years, and she was able to get out of the whole body.

Now Terast has made a move.

The green dragon is directly cold!

"I remember that there was a dragon lich behind her......"

Matthew recalls what he had encountered in the Troll Dungeon.

I always feel that the changes in the front and back of Terast are a little abnormal.

"Originally, Terast succeeded in slaying the dragon, and his prestige in the Jade Court was unparalleled for a while, and the elves supported him from the bottom of their hearts, imagining that he could become the hero who led the Jade Court to prosper, but no one expected the situation to suddenly explode like this."

"Now most of the elves in the city are in a panic, some people are scolding Terast, and some people are crying and praying for the fallen elven ancient gods, the order in the city has completely collapsed, everyone has no time to take care of themselves, according to the current trend, it won't be long before the jade court will break out a food crisis and other large and small crises......"

"There are also elves who want to assassinate Terast, and you should be able to guess the result."

"In short, the current situation is very ...... Uncanny. ”

"Ordinary elves can't do anything about Terast."

"They were so desperate that they started writing to us asking for help."

"Look, this is a letter from an elf named Manister, I have read his resume, this guy is an out-and-out elven supremacist, he used to be a die-hard fan of Terest, and he also advocated the overthrow of the Presbyterian Church and the Willow Leaf Institution to establish a new ruling group, but since Terest's announcement of the Path of Glory plan, Manister's attitude has changed dramatically, because he is 650 years old."

Hood handed a letter into Matthew's hands.

Matthew opened it and looked at it, a little ridiculous.

This Manister actually wants the alliance to send someone to uphold justice and arrest Terast immediately!

"It looks like they're really cornered."

Matthew folded the letter again.

Hood shrugged:

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"There are also many Wood Elves who fled to the Eternal Song Forest overnight and asked the Night Elves for help, but the Night Elf royal family was very clever enough to not meet these stowaways, and they drove those Wood Elves back to the border of the Eternal Song Forest."

"If you want me to say, in a little while, the elves will have to turn to Purgatory and the Abyss for help......"

Matthew couldn't help but laugh.

But then his expression became serious.

"I've got to talk to Terast."

Hood reminded:

"Be careful."

"There's a chance that Terast is red-eyed right now."

Matthew nodded.

Immediately he left the Windward Valley and walked on the sparsely populated main road.

Before you know it, it's approaching the end of May.

The phoenix flowers on both sides of the road are particularly blazing.

The bright red color shook Matthew's eyes in the sunlight.

The whole city smells of decay and solemnity.

A whole afternoon.

Matthew is in the city looking for traces of Terast.

However, to his surprise.

Even he couldn't find out where Terast was hiding!

He went to see Terrani and Beana, the former with a sad face, the latter at a loss, and seemed unprepared for the situation.

Evening.

Matthew stands on the southern rampart overlooking the partially completed umbrella.

It was at that moment.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that Terast is not yet hostile to himself for the time being.

Because if the other party wants to attack him, it is impossible for him to hear the sound of footsteps!

"You're looking for me?"

Terast's tone was as calm as ever.

Matthew looked back, and the elven old man's outfit was no different from before, and his temperament became calmer.

He was dressed in civilian clothes and his hands were empty.

It doesn't look like it's been killing spree lately.

"Why?"

Matthew gets straight to the point.

Terast's face sinks like water:

"Because immortality is a curse."

"You humans can live to be a hundred years old at most, but the longest-lived ones among the wood elves may even live to be a thousand years old."

"This means that you humans have a self-healing and renewing mechanism that the elves don't."

"In this case, we can only use external forces to make up for this repair mechanism."

Matthew shook his head:

"You should have known this for a long time."

"I think what I know is, why did you do that all of a sudden?"

Terast's eyes lit up:

"Because I got the apocalypse."

"Apocalypse?"

Matthew had a bad feeling in his heart.

Terast nodded.

"What kind of apocalypse? Can you easily describe it? ”

Matthew stubbornly continued to ask.

He knew that Terlast's profession was the Apocalypse Swordmaster, and he thought that the Apocalypse in this title was somewhat related to the will of the plane or the will of nature.

Now it seems that it may not be.

"It's hard to describe."

Terast's voice was filled with unprecedented confidence and determination:

"It was probably when I was killing the green dragon that I found that killing an evil dragon that had plagued the Jade Court for so many years was so easy for me."

"I seemed to understand something at that moment."

"So I ...... It's so powerful. ”

"I don't have to worry about that much at all."

"Since I have a grand plan in mind, let's use the easiest way to achieve it."

"You're not going to stop me, are you?"

"As a necromancer who has just destroyed a plane with the Necromantic Scourge, I don't think you have the qualifications, the position, or the strength to do this......"

Speaking of the last word.

Terast's eyebrows lifted slightly.

Matthew only felt a sharp edge burn his eyes.

That moment.

Matthew's perception of Teras has changed dramatically.

If the previous Terast was still a piece of jade that was extremely restrained.

Well now.

He's like a volcano about to erupt!

Sharp!
