Hukes looked at Matthew with surprise in his eyes:

"Is that your first reaction when you learn that there is a way to live forever in this world?"

"You don't really look like a young man."

Matthew smiled:

"Maybe Your Excellency underestimated the young man?"

"And young people have a lot of ......"

Hux shook his head:

"No, in most cases, mastery always takes time."

"Your reaction was too calm, as if you had rehearsed it in advance, or did you encounter a similar scene elsewhere?"

"Anyway, you don't behave like a soul under thirty years old......"

Although Hux did not hide his surprise in his words.

But Matthew also had to sigh in his heart -

The eyes of these legendary mages are so vicious!

It was indeed because of the lessons of the Immortal Immortal Orchid that he was able to remain as calm as he is now.

And Matthew's soul is indeed not as young as it seems.

It stands to reason.

Hux has lost the power of a legendary mage.

But her instincts and perceptions are still so sharp.

This amazed Matthew.

However, he did not dwell on this topic for too long, but quickly cut to the topic:

"Tell me what you people from White Rock City did back then, right?"

"I heard that the lord of the city, the Pale King, Dickens, intended to resurrect the Scars of the Dead into a ghostly touch?"

Hux nodded:

"Here's what we're presenting to the Alliance."

Matthew asked curiously:

"Are you planning to replace ash energy with negative energy?"

Hux said solemnly:

"It's overlay, not replacement."

"The energy left by the Void Master cannot disappear out of thin air, and it is almost impossible to digest this energy with the means of the material world, so the best way is to cover, as long as it is properly covered, it can ensure that those energies from the Void do not overflow, and then have the effect of sealing."

"If the alliance approves it, we're going to do it."

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, from the necromancer's point of view, this plan does have a certain degree of feasibility.

But here's the problem.

Doing so is tantamount to handing over the Traces of the Dead, a mobile bomb, into the hands of White Rock City—

The resurrected Dead Ghost Touch will be an independent Undead Lord.

It will be the servant of the necromancer of White Rock City.

The scars of the dead are in its belly.

Theoretically, it's pretty solid.

But in reality?

And the alliance obviously didn't trust White Rock that much.

Therefore, this plan was eventually rejected by the Alliance.

"Subsequently, we studied the traces of the dead from several other directions."

"We've found a way to extract the power of the ashes, and we're ecstatic to have access to a large number of soul crystals through a simple energy conversion and a bit of ancient alchemy ritual."

"We are also well aware of the Alliance's distrust of us, and there is no way the mages will allow us to stay near the Marks of the Dead for an extended period of time."

"So it didn't take long for a consensus to be reached within White Rock City, and all the necromancers joined forces to transform the power of ash into high-purity soul crystals - we were working almost day and night during that time......

Mention that past tense.

Hux's face was full of remembrance.

Matthew pinched his nose.

Really.

Necromancers are a virtue when faced with high-quality soul crystals!

"And then you were expelled by the Alliance?"

"The Wood Elves hate you because you did capture nearby creatures and throw them into the Traces of the Dead in order to carry out the evil deeds of artificial soul crystals, right?"

Matthew guessed.

Hux sighed:

"That's what you think."

"Necromancers are a bunch of short-sighted scum, they have no honor at all!"

"I thought I could persuade Tanya and Dickens to stop this kind of fishing, but they promised well in words, and they did it even more ruthlessly in private."

"I didn't bother to be with them, and I was going to leave, but at this time, Tanya told me that in the process of refining soul crystals at high speed, she accidentally discovered an incomplete transformation product-

She named the substance Ember Blood Crystal.

The appearance of the ember blood crystal shook my position......"

Speaking of which.

Hux bowed his head in shame.

Matthew realized that this ember blood crystal was probably the key to what Hux had previously mentioned about immortality:

"You have spied into the realm of eternal life from this substance?"

Hux nodded:

"After experiments, we found that all living beings will immediately burn themselves after ingesting an ember blood crystal, and their souls and bodies will be reduced to ashes together."

"But as long as this ash is carefully kept, after seven days, a new life will crawl out of the ashes, and if it is the ashes of a human being, then out of the ashes is a newborn baby; If it's a bird or a dragon, an egg will emerge from the ashes......"

"The newborn is pure white at the beginning of birth, and then when it grows to a certain age, it will suddenly awaken the memory of the previous life and restore the personality of the previous life."

"Theoretically, as long as you have an infinite amount of Ember Blood Crystals, you can repeat the process from infancy to old age indefinitely."

"Of course it's a kind of eternal life!"

Matthew remained unmoved:

"I'm still wondering what are the side effects of taking Ember Blood Crystals to regenerate from them?"

Hux smiled helplessly:

"We only completed one phase of the experiment on humans, and then we were investigated by the Alliance."

"Even though we had destroyed all the relevant materials beforehand, Linde and Isabel, who were in charge at the time, sensed something, and they thought that our actions violated the Alliance's manuals, and suspected that we were secretly carrying out forbidden experiments, and then they pursued the three of us severely."

"In line with the previously agreed secret contract, I didn't let go, and I didn't reveal any information about the Ember Blood Crystal."

"However, the two scum, Tanya and Dickens, immediately shifted the blame to me."

"In this way, I became the scapegoat for the Ember Blood Crystal Project and for White Rock City's previous act of throwing living people into the Traces of the Dead."

"Because I didn't resent this matter, I fought with those two bastards, but I became a traitor to the so-called White Rock City, hehe......"

Hux's expression was mocking.

I don't know if she was laughing at the two companions at the beginning, or if she was laughing at herself.

"And then?"

Matthew asks:

"What happened to the two of them?"

Hux sneered:

"Linde and Isabel are not fools, they thought that by putting the responsibility on my head, they would be able to get along well, but they were not caught and filled the hole in the Tianlong battlefield!"

"I took all the charges on my shoulders, and in the end I just had to bear the taste of being forgotten and then go to jail for decades."

"I don't care about that."

Her eyes sharpened:

"Listen, boy."

"If you can find my son's ghost and bring him to me, I'll give you a complete Ember Blood Crystal!"

"I can even tell you the specific method of refining the Ember Blood Crystal, is the mark of the dead not in your hands now? You're a member of the Alliance, who's going to check on you? You can do it yourself! ”

"As long as you can find my son!"

Matthew was slightly moved.

He didn't want eternal life, but he was instinctively curious about these mysterious substances.

"Why don't you go yourself?"

"This prison shouldn't hold you, right?"

Matthew asked suddenly.

Despite the fact that Hux seems to have lost all of his power, Hessoyama is also the most famous prison in the Alliance.

But Matthew still felt that this place should not be able to trap Hux for so many years.

on this.

Hux's reaction was calm:

"I can't get out of here yet, it's not time yet?"

Matthew's heart pounded.

Really!

Judging by Hux's tone, she must have a way to leave!

So he went on to ask:

"What kind of timing are you waiting for?"

Hux said calmly:

"When my sentence is over, I will naturally leave."

Matthew was stunned.

"Obey the verdict of the Coalition's laws, and honestly go to jail—that's my promise to the man who captured me."

Hux said with a solemn expression:

"Of course, I have to keep my promise, even if the necromancer has no honor to speak of, but I was born as a human being, and I should have the dignity of being a human being."

Matthew was in awe.

He could actually feel the difference in Hux.

She's a bit of an ascetic or a knight among necromancers—

It is a rare caster who cares about his own honor.

Of course.

The premise of all this is based on the fact that she is not lying.

"I'm going to end my sentence in three months."

Hux sighed softly:

"It's like a long dream."

"I don't know what I'll see when I see the light of day again in three months?"

Matthew still finds it strange:

"Shouldn't you be sentenced to decades in prison for taboo experiments alone?"

Hux glanced at him and said lightly:

"Oh, I killed some mages while resisting the Alliance's enforcement."

"Some of them are people who are considered by the Silver Council to be the pillars of the next generation."

"I didn't care about that kind of scraps when I killed them, and there is no need to deliberately mention ...... now"

Matthew was momentarily speechless.

Really.

Still can't expect too much from the moral qualities of the necromancer......

Hukes is already frank in his estimation.

"What comes out of the mouths of these old foxes, just listen to it, and you must not be gullible!"

Matthew was secretly vigilant.

He told Hux that Lorraine. He will do his best to do the things of the square tower.

But we don't know exactly what the results will be.

He then talks about the origin of the Killing Sword, hoping to get more secret information from Hux.

About these.

Hux also replied cheerfully:

"The Sword of Slaughter was the Sun God's weapon, but in this much earlier era, it was part of the Troll God's body, and it only later came into the Sun God's hands."

"After the fall of the sun god, the sword of slaughter fell to the ruins of the clouds with his kingdom."

"And after the soul of the Celestial Dragon under the scar of the dead awakened, in order to get rid of the seal of the ancient astral magician, he summoned this artifact from the ruins above the clouds with the resonance of the killing realm."

"The Soul of the Celestial Dragon wanted to devour the Sword of Killing in order to gain more energy in order to break through the seal of the Astral Sorcerer, but it was discovered by the Lord of the Void, so there was a trace of the dead later......"

Hear here.

Matthew nodded secretly, which was not much different from his own conjecture.

However, he originally thought that the Killing Sword was used to seal the Five-Clawed Celestial Dragon.

Unexpectedly, it was the latter who took the initiative to summon it.

"Back then, the astrologists of the Eastern Continent divided the Soul of the Heavenly Dragon into seven stages according to the location of the seven stars of the Abyssal Continent, three of which were sealed in Aindor, and the remaining four were sealed in the places where the Abyss Mother Body was flooded around the Eastern Continent."

"There is only one section under the gray lake, and I don't know the location of the remaining two sections, but it is suspected that they have returned to their positions some time ago, which will make the remaining part of the Heavenly Dragon Soul even more irritable."

"He will be very anxious to return to the Seven Stars of the Abyss, and He will be willing to pay any price for that."

"The Sword of Killing and the Soul of the Celestial Dragon have a high degree of overlap in the realm of existence, needless to say, the Sword of Slaughter, and the Five-Clawed Celestial Dragon is synonymous with war and killing in any period of history."

"I've read some Sioux classics, and it is said that the Five-Clawed Celestial Dragon believes that only true sword and fire are the cornerstones of civilization evolution."

"The regions and planes in which He is active are suffering from long wars, and the people are afraid of the might of the Dragons, but they are also tired of the Warlike Dragons, so He does not have many supporters on the land, let alone believers."

"Although I don't know the current situation under the gray lake, it is not so simple for the five-clawed Celestial Dragon to devour the Killing Sword, after all, the latter has been with the Sun God for a while, and Gerald's constant imprint is enough for it to resist the Celestial Dragon's soul for a long, long time."

"For you, this is actually an opportunity, the Killing Sword is eager to escape, maybe you can take the opportunity to become its master, but it may offend the Soul of the Celestial Dragon."

Hucks spoke in generalities.

Matthew asked a few more details.

She also patiently answered them one by one.

A moment later.

Matthew leaves the dark room and promises to come back to see her again in order to report back on tracking down Lorraine. The progress of the Ghost of the Pagoda.

Before leaving Mount Hesso.

Matthew went to look at Hera again.

This once-high-spirited legendary constructor is now living a tight life.

Matthew could feel the tension and anxiety that Hera felt as she chatted with her.

Hera says she's still not fit to be a warden.

There is currently a serious deficit in Hesso.

She's done everything she can to make amends.

But the hole is still there.

And so on.

She could only sell the fixed assets of Hessoshan in exchange for cash flow quenching her thirst.

"Next time if there is a way to make money, you must come to me!"

"Otherwise, I'll really have to sell my ass!"

Hera said to Matthew with red eyes:

"I'm very good at fighting, just give a nominal appearance fee of one million."

Matthew scratched his head helplessly:

"Or?"

"Shall I ask Alexandria for you?"

"Well, I can meet him once in a while."

Hera said exhaustedly:

"Please, come back soon!"

"Don't play in the Star Boundary, or we can change positions, I will go to the Star Boundary to lead troops to fight, I will definitely be better than him!"

Matthew smiled dumbly.

It can only be guaranteed that Hera's words will be brought to Alexander as soon as possible.

Matthew pondered that the latter probably didn't want to see the Black Soshan that he had been operating for many years go out of business.

He should be able to help Hera.

After leaving Mount Hesso.

Matthew went to Riptide and found a market and bought two pigs.

He then took him to his own half-plane.

Cast the Parasitic Skull for the first time.

After eating two pigs in one go.

Matthew could clearly feel the emptiness in his eyebrows.

There is a feeling of being filled!

It's pleasant and a little stagflating.

"The parasitic skull does fill in the elements, and sure enough, when it comes to matters of principle, Ekmund can still be trusted."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

At least in the short term, you don't have to worry about the Void Bloodline.

He then returned to the Jade Garden.

The next two days.

Matthew immersed himself in the camp to learn fifth-order spells, including the "weapon master" mentioned before 177.

And in the meantime.

The trees planted by the druids have also kept up with the progress of Deathscorch.

Matthew took a moment off.

The Traces of the Dead Umbrella was specially used to create a balanced contract between the oak forest and the scorched earth of death.

Because there was a precedent for success.

So the follow-up just needs to follow the script.

It only took one night.

He completed the conclusion of the equilibrium contract that was close to 2/3 of the extension.

This process has benefited Matthew immensely.

He's earned a ton of Legend Path Practice Points!

And the practice of his legendary way has officially entered the stage of wind and frost from the departure stage!

So far.

He is about to face what may be the most difficult period of the plateau before the saga.

As long as you can break through the wind and frost period.

After that, the nectar and flowers and fruits are all natural.

And to the last step.

It means that Matthew can condense the fruits of his own domain.

This is the highest achievement of the Mage's Way in the field.

It is also a symbol of the veteran legendary mage!

Matthew was able to reach this level at level 17, and he was already an absolute leader among his peers.

Except for freaks like Hibbert.

It's hard for others to keep up with it.

Matthew wasn't complacent, though.

He's not the fledgling little mage anymore.

He has seen too many geniuses and strong men.

Know that your true strength has not yet come.

Before that.

Stuffy head development is the only thing he has to do!

Matthew's commute between the mage camp and the mark of the dead.

And the Jade Court has also become quiet these days.

It seemed like overnight.

All Wood Elves accepted the result.

Obviously, the whole city is still dead.

But the order that had collapsed before was slowly restored.

It's really incomprehensible.

And in the daily casual conversation with Beanna.

Matthew learns that Terani is one of the few wood elves in the city who still openly opposes Terast.

In order to avoid the escalation of the conflict between the father and daughter.

Beanna had to increase the frequency of the Nightmare Pendant again and again.

Terranie was also sleeping longer and longer.

This worries Beanna.

The Nightmare Pendant is a powerful item, and if Terrani is under its control for a long time, it is likely that she will never wake up after a certain hypnosis!

Beanna actually wanted to give up.

But Terast admonished her.

Before the first group of people over 600 years old entered the Secret Light Jungle.

Terrani must be kept under strict control.

That's what the teachers said.

She could only struggle to accept it.

Matthew could feel her helplessness and worry.

But apart from verbal comfort, Matthew didn't have any good ideas.

Night.

Matthew was lying on his bed in the mage's camp, with a rare amount of insomnia:

"Tomorrow is the day when Terast banishes the first Elven Elders."

"I always feel like something is going to happen......"

Just when he was thinking nonsense.

Suddenly.

His consciousness became blurry and groggy.

Followed by.

Matthew's consciousness seemed to be dragged into a huge space.

Look around.

Beneath your feet are endless mountains and plains.

The low mountains that rise in the distance have characteristics similar to those of the Danxia landform.

When the wind blows.

There was a whimpering sound like a flute in the mountains.

And overhead is a starry sky.

There are seven extremely bright stars in the starry sky.

Soon Matthew noticed.

There are two figures beside him-

One of them was pot-bellied and stunned, and he was the current lord of Kordo City, the spokesperson of Purgatory in the world, and the descendant of the Sioux tribe, Yu Sickle;

The other is an elf with a face as heavy as water, holding a bamboo stick in his arms, and looking like a teenager.

Matthew stared at the elf for a long time.

"Terast?"

He asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, an extremely majestic figure suddenly appeared on the galaxy!

Meanwhile.

A shocking voice sounded in Matthew's heart:

"I am the Emperor of the Sioux Clan."

"A thousand years ago, I led thousands of troops into the galaxy."

"Now we're coming back."

"Wait, would you like to be a pioneer for me?"

Matthew's expression instantly became a little strange.

……

"Warning: You are aware of the 'fraud' realm......
