Feeling the unusual heat in Beanna's eyes, Matthew couldn't help but want to reply:

"It's normal for men to like high-intensity roles, right?"

Immediately he realized.

His original conjecture about Abyss Deathmatch was correct - indeed Sif killed those fallen angels who were level 20!

Bato's blood is terrible!

Matthew immediately responded:

"So those monsters were indeed killed by Sif?"

"You just used the word shredding - how did she do it?"

Beanna's mouth was deflated, her cheeks bulging slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Matthew's way of forcibly changing the subject.

But about what happened in the Abyss Deathmatch.

The two girls probably had a tacit understanding in private.

Beanna knew that she had slipped her mouth, so she chose to remain silent.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Matthew wasn't so eager to find out what happened to Sif when she became the daughter of Purgatory.

After taking the opportunity to divert Beanna's attention.

He spoke again:

"I respect your decision."

"But you have to be safe at all times, I don't think Terast is in a precarious situation at the moment, yes, his attention is all on his people at the moment, but I don't know when he might turn the finger at outsiders - I'm not sure if the master-apprentice relationship between him and Ling is as strong as you think, it's up to you to judge."

Between words.

He took three spell scrolls out of his bag and handed them to Beana.

These are all spells used to escape, which are not top-notch, but if you are prepared in advance, even if you face Terast, you should be able to fight for a glimmer of life for Beanna.

This is where spells are superior to melee classes.

Before.

Most of the time, Beanna won't take Matthew's stuff.

But this time she chose to accept it with a smile.

Matthew could clearly feel the change in the girl's heart from the other party's eyes.

Compared to the impressive confession when leaving Rolling Stone.

Now Beanna is indeed much more mature.

She clearly had an idea of her own.

This made Matthew appreciate it even more.

"I'm going to protect myself, I've been learning these things since the moment I left Rolling Stone."

Beana's tone was light and cheerful, as if she had received something remarkable when she put away the scroll.

On the contrary, Matthew suddenly became a little uncomfortable-

He had come here mainly to find out about Terast's condition from Terani.

From the standpoint.

Terrani knew very little.

Maybe this poor guy was hypnotized by Beanna most of the time.

Usually I don't see his old father at all.

On the contrary, it was Beana, who unknowingly became a disciple of Terast.

Think of it.

Matthew had just wanted to ask Beanna if she had any information on where Terast had stayed.

The latter said with a sense of clarity:

"Every day at four o'clock in the morning, I will go to Fengqipo to learn the bamboo stick swordsmanship from Mr. Teras for about an hour."

"Fengqi Slope is the small hill near the southern city wall, there is a bamboo forest on it, I took you through it before."

"If there's anything you have to say to Mr. Terast, I can tell you that - he knows about our relationship, well, I mean he knows we're both from Rolling Stone."

Matthew weighed the two troll relics in his hand and said slowly:

"That's just right."

"You tell me about it, just say that I have two treasures from the era of the Troll Empire, I hope he can help me appreciate them, and if you can, I will send them over in two days."

Both the Holy Grail of Sin and the Crown of Sin are treasures that are extremely sensitive to the elements of evil.

The feedback on mental changes is particularly clear.

If there are traces of a distorted mind or a disturbed will on Terast's body.

No matter how clever their methods are, it is impossible to hide these two holy relics.

Beanna was full of promises.

Next.

Prancing Horse Hotel in the same room.

Beanna brought a message from Terast:

"Mr. Terast let me tell you that he is engaged in something very important, and he does not want to be distracted at this juncture."

"If there's something more important, he's willing to take the time to see you, but just look at the artifacts."

"Also, he said to rest assured that he won't hurt Ms. Ailan, and if you are not at ease, you can send a messenger to write to Ms. Ailan."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

It seems that Terast is very aware of his intentions-

As long as you don't hurt Ai Lan and don't involve the alliance, then everything is easy to say.

Since the other party has given enough face.

Matthew's side is naturally not easy to entangle.

When he returned, he immediately sent the barbarian Sanger to send a letter to Ellen.

The letter arrived as promised.

Ellen also wrote a reply to Matthew.

The reply was short, as Arashi stated to Matthew that she was safe and unharmed, and on the other hand, she expressed her hope that the Alliance would intervene and stop Terlast's actions.

She thinks that Terast is completely on the opposite side of the elven society by doing so.

The Wood Elves are young and old.

No one will support him.

Any policy that lacks a mass base and is forced to do so with extraordinary power will only lead to even greater disaster.

In this regard, Matthew actually agrees with Ailan's point of view -

Terast's steps were too big, and it was no longer a matter of pulling eggs, but stabbing himself directly in the heart three times.

But he, like Ailan, couldn't do anything about it.

He wrote another letter to reassure Alain, saying that he would do his best to report the situation to the Alliance, hoping that the Silver Council would make the right decision.

And in the exchange of letters.

Matthew also learns through the messenger Barbarian Sanger that Ellen is under house arrest by Terast on a hillside known as Trade Winds Cliffs.

It was located at the second highest point of the Jade Garden, the scenery was good, and she herself was fine, but she was not in good spirits.

Presumably worried about the future of the Wood Elf community.

Soon.

The owl sent a reply from the Silver Council.

As Matthew had expected, the Silver Council wanted him to keep an eye on Terlast's mental condition, but not to interfere with the elves' internal decisions and actions.

It is said that a special committee has been formed within the parliament, and during this time the question of the jade court is being discussed fiercely and eagerly.

They will give a clearer answer as soon as possible.

Matthew read the reply several times, and only read a summary of "watch the excitement, don't get in the way" from it.

Hood then told him the truth behind the reply:

"The Seven Saints and Lord Ekmund are not here, and several legendary mages are also busy, and no one in the Silver Council can take care of this."

"What's more, it's not a bad thing for them to die some elves."

"They did set up a committee about the Jade Court incident, but the committee was full of 20-level senior fifth-order mages, and most of the time they could only discuss the appearance and figure of the wood elves, and the few times they were studying how to benefit the alliance from the catastrophe caused by Terlast, in fact, for their own benefit, but as soon as someone asked who was going to stand in front of Terlast, the group began to discuss serious topics such as adjournment and what to eat for lunch......"

This is the Silver Council.

Matthew is not unfamiliar with this, most of the awesome mages are in their own right, even a more scientific but powerful legend like Mu Lan has his own mage tower, and there are few people from the Silver Council.

The rest are in the Parliament.

Either it's the mouthpiece of the Seven Saints and Ekmond, or it's simply a mascot.

And it is indeed a bit embarrassing to expect a group of unlegendary old men to discuss how to solve a high-ranking legendary sword master.

Looked at.

Matthew also pushed the boat along the way, strictly following the guiding spirit of the Silver Council, turning a blind eye to what was happening in the Jade Court.

But at the same time.

He has also managed to keep a close eye on the situation of Terast.

He would go to Beanna every day for a short chat.

Originally, he thought.

Terast's acceptance of Beanna as an apprentice was only perfunctory.

But after these days of understanding.

Matthew realized that Terast must have put some thought into teaching the way of swordsmanship.

This is not difficult to see from the fact that Beanna complains almost every day that it is difficult to practice swords, but her sword moves are becoming more and more exquisite, and even has a trace of indescribable charm.

"Does Terast really want to take Beanna as an apprentice?"

"Could it be that this little girl really has a talent for swordsmanship?"

Matthew couldn't help but be impressed by her.

And a few days down.

Beanna also told Matthew that the swordsmanship she was practicing now was the Destiny Swordsmanship created by Terast after he encountered the Apocalypse!

The Heavenly Mandate Sword Technique is said to be divided into three stages.

In the first stage, bamboo sticks are used as swords, because bamboo sticks are hard and brittle, and it is difficult for novices to control their strength.

Using it as a weapon is best for exercising mental power.

After reaching this state of freedom, you can enter the second stage of learning.

The second stage focuses on the cultivation of various types of real swords, paying attention to the accumulation of a large amount of actual combat experience, and it is necessary to achieve the proficiency of each type of sword to the realm of perfection.

There are no shortcuts at this stage.

You can only practice hard.

The third stage is preceded by an apocalypse.

Only after that apocalypse.

In order to reach the realm of "everything can be a sword" like Terast.

Matthew is intrigued by the apocalypse in Terast's mouth.

He wanted to knock on the side.

Unexpectedly, Beanna said it directly:

"The teacher once said that the swordsmanship he practiced came from the jade phoenix swordsmanship left by Shenfeng back then, but it has surpassed it."

"In the process of practicing that set of swordsmanship, he gradually comprehended a realm similar to the unity of heaven and man in the mouth of a warrior monk."

"When he encountered the apocalypse, he saw many scenes, some of them images of unknown lands, and some of them were end-of-life scenes in the Far East."

He guessed that the picture of that part of the unknown land might come from the Eastern Continent, and the apocalypse he encountered seemed to be inspired by the incarnation of the Heavenly Dragon......

The Apocalypse of Terast is actually from the Eastern Continent and the Celestial Dragon?

This is something that Matthew never expected.

For a while, he suspected that the elven old man was bewitched by the Lord of the Void!

At first, Matthew was a little unconvinced.

Until Bena showed one of the moves in the Heavenly Destiny Sword Technique in front of him.

Beanna's moves are quite standard, and it seems that she has indeed experienced the guidance of famous teachers.

But the most important thing.

It was the charm of the moment when she came out of the sword that made Matthew feel a little different.

He had sensed the soul of the Celestial Dragon on Junliu Island.

It's quite sensitive to the breath of the heavenly dragon.

Therefore, he could be sure that the other party's sword moves were indeed related to the Celestial Dragon.

Meantime.

Matthew also reacted -

No matter how strong Beanna's swordsmanship talent was, it would not be possible to integrate it so quickly.

The sword she revealed to herself.

I'm afraid it's also showing the power and charm of Terast!

The elven old man is indeed an old fox, and he is obviously very aware of Matthew's concerns, so he constantly sends good signals to Matthew in various ways.

There was certainly no way he would release Ellen anytime soon.

Because the latter would be a stumbling block to his plans.

But he could never go against the alliance.

He knows exactly where the balance is.

After thinking about all this, Matthew had nothing more to say.

Since Terast is determined to shoulder the fate of the Wood Elves alone.

He can only greet the next wave as a spectator.

But this incident touched Matthew on another side -

the twinkle of the seven stars of the abyss;

Apocalypse of Terlast;

Yu Yao's call from the Far East;

As the odd number of days is getting closer, the once dusty power of the Eastern Continent seems to be overflowing.

That unknown land may be ushering in a new round of recovery.

This feeling is not unfounded.

Since Matthew solidified the equilibrium node, he has a hazy ability to grasp luck and even fate.

This ability to capture is still relatively shallow.

But he believes he can see a little bit of the big picture.

"Northland, Eastern......"

In the dark.

Matthew looked northeast—

Beyond the Helen Mountains and fertile black sand plains, north along the Continental Highway, past Swordwinter and the Twin Bays, and across the Death Delta, where snow and murder sway, are at the end of the desolate road, the devastated Far East.

Now.

Matthew saw streaks of red and purple steaming.

He saw disaster, war......

And the new students!

"It's no wonder that Lee Wich finally chose to give it a go to the north."

"There may also be traces of Beausaurus active in the far west, but if the eastern continent really ushers in some chance of recovery, the Far East will inevitably usher in a new transformation."

"Maybe he really has a chance to become a legend......"

The lines in the field of vision slowly fade away.

Matthew then withdrew his gaze.

The whole world is being turned upside down.

And all he can do.

Only hard work and waiting.

The next period of time.

Matthew no longer bothered about the Jade Garden, and at the same time strictly restricted the scope of the mages' movements.

In addition to the implementation of the umbrella program.

No one is allowed to approach the city of Jade Garden.

Terast is also very face-saving.

The few Wind Chasers who remained loyal to him were sent out to maintain order near the Marks of the Dead.

Matthew's project went exceptionally well.

He even has time to take care of things on the sampan plane.

After taking Windward Valley.

Almost immediately, Matthew built a huge cemetery outside the troll corridor.

The number of immortals in the new cemetery is small, but the aura of negative energy is very strong.

The main reason is that Matthew is rich now, and he is willing to spend the cost, just to cultivate the atmosphere of the negative energy crystal clusters, he directly arranged two boxes to go down, and other things such as the underworld black locust, dead man's stake, high-grade tombstones, etc.

In order to facilitate trade in the future.

Matthew also carved out a trade route in the middle of the cemetery.

The opening and closing of this trade road is controllable.

When closed, it is part of the cemetery, and when opened, it can be independent and free from the influence and erosion of negative energy.

And when the caravan walked through the trade lane, it was inevitable to bear pressure from both sides of the cemetery.

This is also a little bit of Matthew's careful thinking.

The sampan plane is the transit port between the main material realm and the astral plane.

As long as it's done right.

Profits are bound to roll in.

Matthew pulls people from all walks of life off the field, and at the same time, he also has to determine his dominant position.

Although the probability of being accidentally kicked out of the game is very small.

But you have to add a little bit of presence to yourself, don't you?

Through the Fourth Necropolis in Windward Valley, Matthew also transported the bones of Mammoth, Bone Dragon, and Beamon to the Sampan Plane.

The latter is currently strong in negative energy.

Especially near Tyrannosaurus Town, it has simply become an enclave of the negative energy plane in the outer plane.

Matthew intends to carve out a giant necromantic transformation site in this area.

In fact, there is no need for special management of a ceremonial hall like this.

The undead plague creates a climate that is strong enough for it to function on its own.

Matthew just needs to make sure this sub-plane is under his control.

In his planning.

There will only be two cities on the Sampan Plane in the future-

One of them is the resting town built on the ruins of Tyrannosaurus Town.

The town of Rest is positioned as Matthew's city of the undead.

It will not be open to living people from the outside world.

A large number of cemeteries will be built here for the undead to rest, as well as other necromantic units from all major planes.

The remains of mammoth bone dragons and the like are buried near here.

Matthew plans to let them transform on their own, and it will save them a lot of effort.

The other is Oak Town, built on the ruins of the Night Angel City-

Matthew plans to plant an oak forest there as a way to dilute the negative energy atmosphere of the new city.

Oaktown is responsible for foreign business, and when it becomes prosperous, it should also attract a part of the Astral population.

But that's all for later.

Matthew still has a lot to do at the moment.

The first thing he had to do was to dissolve this wave of undead scourges.

It was also thanks to Viscount Fan who helped in advance and digested the projection of death.

When Matthew hurried back to the sampan plane.

The self-rolling canopy of death has controlled more than 70,000 undead!

Even if the authority is in hand.

Matthew also sensed the ambition of the Death Canopy that was unwilling to stop there.

And that's not all.

The other party also turned into all kinds of evil thoughts and constantly persuaded him, and through the excellent mobility of the sampan plane, he used the undead natural disaster to devour the creatures of other secondary planes.

This can make Matthew's power even stronger.

The temptation is truly straightforward and striking.

Fortunately, Matthew is determined.

It took two and a half days.

Step by step, Matthew unleashed the ritual spell of the Scourge of the Dead.

At the moment when the curtain of death dissipated.

Countless resentments and resentments rushed straight into Matthew's soul!

It's a pity that Matthew is determined and unmoved, and he still has the lost lantern in his hand, so he directly put away those scattered grievances.

Although these resentments are not souls, they can be extracted into spirituality.

Matthew wasn't going to do that.

It's more cost-effective to leave it to a professional like Viscount Fan.

After all.

He's still thinking about the Sun God Spear in the other party's hand!

After the Undead Scourge is resolved.

The question of what happened to the more than 70,000 immortals became a question.

The elite of them will of course be co-opted by Matthew into the regular army.

But most of the undead are shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

The precious slots of the Necronomicon will not be wasted on them.

And theoretically.

The Death Canopy has been lost as a source of power.

Sooner or later, they will dissipate on their own.

It just takes a little time.

But Matthew is well aware that these uncontrolled undead can brew disaster, and it would be a waste to let them disperse

For a better aftercare.

He had to personally use the repose technique to bring down the undead one by one.

He doesn't pay much attention to this.

Because the entire sampan plane is a huge cemetery in his plan.

These resting immortals love to lie down wherever they want!

Of course.

In order to ensure that their bones will not lose their spirituality and become fragile under the wind, sun and rain.

Matthew would still send some of the undead to bury their fellow citizens on the spot.

Because the number of the undead in this group is too large.

Matthew had to make a symbolic tombstone from 100 undead.

Tombstones can be used to mark these resting spirits.

Someday.

If Matthew wants to reawaken them, he only needs to activate the spirituality on the tombstone.

After resting, most of the undead will slowly be corrupted and become part of the earth again.

If it is in the main material realm.

Matthew estimates that in 10 years, less than three of the 70,000 immortals will remain.

But the negative energy of the sampan plane is strong enough.

In 10 years, at least eighty percent of the soldiers will still be able to get up and go home to work.

If Matthew is willing to do more in-depth maintenance.

This time can be extended even longer.

That's it.

Matthew hurried back and forth between the Sampan Plane and the Windward Valley.

It's the end of May.

Good news from the mage camp in Windward Valley.

The extension of the Umbrella Project 2.0 has been completed.

With the exception of the most difficult Grey Lake, all the rest of the Dead Scars are planted with death scorched earth with obvious restraints.

The remaining oak groves are still following.

Wait until all the oak forests are planted.

Matthew will personally take the initiative to conclude a large-scale equilibrium contract to better protect it.

In the meantime.

Many of the extensions of Scar of the Dead also show instances of the Ember Monster attempting to fight back.

But because of the advance plan, the mages under Matthew's command were not vegetarians, and they quickly used various means to eliminate the ash creatures.

So far.

The expansion of the Traces of the Dead, with the exception of the Grey Lake, has been curbed.

Matthew can shift his focus to the most important part.

And in the meantime.

Matthew's Spell Guild has also welcomed two new members -

Far away in the Northlands, Lee Weiqi and Carmela joined the Spell Guild on their front and back feet.

And so.

The already bloated union warehouses have been supplemented with new specialties from the north.

What used to be a deserted chat room is now bubbling up almost every day.

Of course.

It was Rhaegar who bubbled the most.

This guy not only used up the number of free chats per day, but also relied on his high contribution to buy a lot of additional chats.

Since the template of the chat room is a bit like Matthew's QQ group in his previous life.

Therefore, Rhaegar has the highest level.

And every time he appears, he has the title of "Guild Veteran".

There is always a sense of uncertainty when I speak.

Most people who don't know him will be bluffed by him.

Fortunately, everyone in the group knows the roots.

I didn't make much of a joke for a while, but Matthew, who likes to watch the excitement, also developed the habit of checking the president's badge once a day.

Generally.

The development of the Spell Guild is quite benign.

The only thing that surprised Matthew was that he had sent out an invitation a long time ago, but Seve had not joined the guild yet.

To be exact.

Ever since Sif traveled to the Warlock Academy in the Floating City.

Matthew hadn't said hello to her.

He specifically asked Rhaegar about this.

Rhaegar claims that the Warlock Academy's classes are easy, and Sif should have been available to join long ago.

Matthew was even more puzzled by this.

Siff's hot and cold attitude suddenly gave him an unbearable feeling of itching.

He kind of wanted to go to the Floating City and ask the other party what was going on!

Fortunately, Matthew restrained himself in time.

"There's a lot of work ahead of me right now."

"Let's wait for the next time I go to Floating City, stop by the Warlock Academy and have a look!"

He thought so.

Matthew is currently working on learning the spell Parasitic Skull, which Ecmond has taught.

He chose the head of a dragon warrior in Tyrannosaurus Town, which perfectly meets the conditions, the spirituality is between strong and weak, and the strength of the skull and the strength of the original owner are also relatively good.

Even so.

Matthew also put a lot of effort into mastering this head.

Otherworldly spells are too evil.

Matthew lacks experience to draw on, and many times the casting paths he normally relies on don't work.

He must re-establish a spellcasting loop.

This is also one of the difficulties of otherworldly spells - it is difficult for people with old minds to master spells from another world.

The good thing is that Matthew is quite flexible.

By the beginning of June.

He succeeded in mastering the parasitic skull, and cultivated the head of the dragonman warrior to scale freely.

Minimal time.

It's even the size of the fingers of the thumb of the foot.

As suggested in the spellbook, you can make a pendant or earrings and keep them around.

Matthew chose a pendant, mainly because it is not easy to lose.

After mastering this method.

He would have a chance to get rid of the amulet given by Ekmond.

However, the situation in the Jade Court is very turbulent.

Matthew doesn't plan to catch creatures in the vicinity to devour.

He had originally thought of catching an unlucky egg near the Garden of Fallen Leaves for an experiment.

But just as he was about to leave.

A mage's apprentice, who was tasked with keeping an eye on the Grey Lake at the southern wall, suddenly arrived:

"Master Matthew!"

"There is an abnormal situation on the side of the gray lake, and it stands to reason that today is not a boiling day, but the lake water suddenly tumbled violently, and the phoenix egg also appeared!"

"Another of my companions also saw the figure of Master Terast next to the Grey Lake, he wasn't sure if it was him, or maybe it was the lost Heartbreaker, but it was the Elf's figure that lingered nearby, and the Grey Lake was unusually boiling......

Gray Lake, Phoenix Egg, Apocalypse in the Eastern Continent?

A strong, uncomfortable premonition irritated Matthew's nerves.

He took a deep breath:

"You go and inform Lord Hood."

"I'll go over and have a look."
