MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 185 Margaret's Elimination Method!

  …

   "What... Sif?"

"etc!

   This voice is—Matthew?

  Why are you here?

  Wouldn’t it be a sister who became like you? "

  In the fishing net.

   Rhaegar turned his head sideways with difficulty, trying to look at Matthew through the gap in the net.

  Matthew said with a smile:

   "It seems that your sister has left a deep shadow on you."

   During the conversation.

  The fishing net continued to shrink, turning into a pair of fishnet stockings wrapped around Rhaegar's arms.

   Rega breathed a sigh of relief.

  Matthew cut out a dagger, easily cut off the fishnet stockings, and then helped Rhaegar up from the ground.

  He looked back at Margaret.

   The female devil she fought with has disappeared at this time, no wonder the opponent's binding spell has failed.

   "We have received some bad news. Jr. Patton even thought you were dead. In order to confirm in time whether the lord handover ceremony in Rolling Stone Town should be held, I came here to see you."

   Under Rhaegar's surprised eyes.

   Matthew explained lightly.

  Regar immediately showed gratitude.

   Then the next second.

  Most of this gratitude disappeared.

   "Zeller said that this trip to the plane can be reimbursed, you should have no objection?"

   Matthew Road.

   Rhaegar murmured twice:

   "I think you should be more calm, don't have to come and see me, look, am I alive and kicking?"

  Matthew just wanted to say something.

  Margaret has returned to the two of them.

   "She ran away."

   "We have to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then leave here. I guess at most fifteen minutes, this place will be surrounded by the troops of the Bru tribe and the Blood Banner Kingdom."

   Finish these.

  She snapped her fingers, and with a flash of white light, a goblin with wicked eyes, a white backpack, and exaggerated gold earrings appeared on the spot.

"speed."

   Margaret gave an order.

  The goblin trotted all the way and began to touch the corpse on the battlefield.

  Its technique is extremely skilled, its movements are as fast as lightning, and it can almost wipe out all valuable things on a corpse every three seconds.

  Matthew recognized the creature.

   This is a treasure goblin.

  Treasure goblins are highly intelligent creatures, so named because they like to collect loot and always have good things in their backpacks.

  In fact, they just look similar to goblins. They are essentially a kind of advanced fine creatures, who have mastered a small amount of magic and space-related abilities.

  In Aindor, there are many idle adventurers who dream that they will bump into a treasure goblin and rise to prominence.

   And for mages, this creature is also very suitable as a pet or servant.

   It was the first time that Matthew saw a live and alive treasure goblin.

   Have to admit.

   There is a specialization in the art industry, this guy is much more efficient at cleaning the battlefield than Ah Bing.

  But Matthew didn't feel the nerve to touch the spoils.

   After all, Margaret committed suicide herself.

   At best, he would pick up some things she didn't want.

   "Are you interested in these corpses?"

  Margaret noticed Matthew's gaze.

  Matthew nodded:

   "The corpses of demons, devils, and vampires are rare in the Material Plane."

  Margaret waved her hand generously:

   "Then they're all yours!"

   "Just let Blinken pretend for you!"

  Matthew was slightly taken aback:

   "Blinken?"

   Immediately he reacted:

   "You call that treasure goblin Blinken?"

  Margaret took out a large bag of magic biscuits and tore them open, chewing them.

   She answered vaguely:

   "Yes, yes, yes."

   "Not just Blinken, every ex-boyfriend can occupy a slave's name with me—

  I'm still quite affectionate, aren't I? "

   said.

  She suddenly condensed a long whip from the void, and slapped the treasure goblin's emaciated back fiercely.

Snapped!

   "Blinken, come back and ask this lord to take orders!"

  The goblin trembled all over, but he didn't dare to neglect his feet, and rushed to Matthew in front of Matthew.

   "Pack up all the corpses for him! If you miss one, you can lie down on it yourself."

   Margaret ordered without a doubt.

  Under the flattering gaze of the Booty Goblin.

  Matthew handed the body bag to the other party.

  Look at the diligent work of this treasure goblin.

  Matthew couldn't help but curiously said:

   "How many ex-boyfriends do you have?"

  Margaret chewed vigorously the magic biscuit used to replenish mana:

   "Why are you asking this?"

   "Do you want to join too?"

  Matthew smiled dumbly.

   When he looked back, Rhei Jia had already taken care of his appearance, and he was no longer in a mess like before.

   "This is Rhaegar, the lord of Rolling Stone Town, the prince of the Blood Banner Kingdom, my friend."

   "This is Ms. Margaret, a fifth-level mage, a rare opponent under the legend, and she can be regarded as half of my teacher."

   Matthew quickly introduced.

  The two nodded to each other and exchanged a few pleasantries, and the treasure goblin over there settled the battle situation.

  Rega offered to say:

   "I know a safer place, let's go there and talk."

  Matthew took over the heavy body bag from Margaret, and his heart was full of joy of harvest.

   "But if we leave on foot, won't it be easy for people to catch up?"

   he asked with some concern.

  Margaret waved her hand, she pointed to a biological airship that was still smoking not far away and said:

   "Which one can still sail."

   Matthew is:

"Really?

   But there are three of us.

   And there are only two seats on the airship.

   Or Rhaegar...

  Are you wronged? "

  Rega patted his chest:

   "Do you want me to squeeze?"

"it does not matter."

   "I can cooperate."

   One minute later.

  The bio-airship with blue smoke from its tail suddenly sailed away from the inner surface.

  In cabin.

   Matthew and Margaret huddled together as before.

   Rhaegar was wearing a safety rope around his waist.

   was silently hung under the airship.

   Fortunately, this trip did not last too long.

   About twenty minutes later.

  The biological airship flew straight towards the sky.

  Margaret held Rhaegar in her left hand and Matthew in her right hand, and landed on the ground using the flying technique as usual.

   The dizzy Rega slowed down for a while.

  Finally found the safe spot he mentioned after a while.

   That is an underground spider tunnel.

  After passing through a secret door.

  The humid air is blowing towards the face, mixed with a strong smell of sulfur, which makes people feel a slight sourness on the face.

boom.

   Several groups of mage's fire floated in the air.

   revealed everything in the tunnel.

   "Matthew, let's go inside and talk, I have something to tell you."

   Rhaegar played a trick on Matthew.

  The two of them were just about to lift their feet and walk in.

   Margaret took a step outside:

   "It's okay, you can just talk here, I will go outside to check the situation, there must be someone following me."

   said.

  Her figure disappeared behind the secret door.

   "Your teacher is quite reasonable."

   Rhaegar praised.

  Matthew nodded:

   "Margaret is indeed different from ordinary alliance mages."

   "So you're interested in being an ex-boyfriend?"

   Rega smirked.

   Apparently he's also heard where the Booty Goblin's name came from.

  Matthew rolled his eyes:

   "Let's take care of yourself first, and go home easily as promised, how did it become like this?"

  Rega sighed softly:

   "It seems that the message I sent to Zeller was intercepted."

   "The thing is, I was going to keep a low profile and suddenly return to Red and Black without notifying anyone.

   Actually I did that too.

   When I dived into the red and black no one knew.

  After him, I got in touch with several old guys in the castle. They are all loyal to my father and are unlikely to leak secrets.

  I learned the secret behind Sif's awakening from them and the castle's collection.

  My fears came true.

  Sif's awakening is not normal.

  She is now facing unprecedented danger! "

  Matthew said in a deep voice:

   "What danger?"

   Rhaegar said with a sad face:

"She may fall into a long-term deep sleep due to the failure of awakening. This kind of deep sleep is almost endless. No one can say when the symptoms of deep sleep will disappear. It is more likely that after a long period of time, she will go back to sleep again. won't wake up either."

  Matthew said in amazement:

   "Why is this happening?"

  Rega shook his head:

"is my problem."

   "Because of her childhood education and the environment she was exposed to, Sif is a little too pure and kind."

   "Devils are inherently evil, and the awakening of the devil's blood must also require some evil elements to assist."

   "But Sif doesn't have these things."

   "She is so kind, she may be so kind that she doesn't even have evil thoughts."

"Under such circumstances, the blood from the ancestors has changed from a gift to a curse. This curse crazily takes the evil elements from Sif. Her weak body can't support it at all. In the end, she can only temporarily avoid it through deep sleep. a little."

   "But after all, deep sleep can't fundamentally change this situation, she needs evil power!"

   Matthew understood.

  He said solemnly:

   "So, if Sif now kills a few people and does a few bad things, is it possible to meet the needs of the evil element?"

  Rega hesitated for a while with a complex expression, and then said uncertainly:

   "Not necessarily, it may be too late to do something evil now, and Sif won't do that."

   "Don't look at her temper is always soft and weak, in fact she is a very stubborn girl, if you ask her to kill people to survive, she may not agree."

  Matthew thought for a while:

   "Is it possible that she is just stubborn with you?"

   Rhaegar stared at him with bull's eyes.

  Matthew quickly waved his hand:

   "I just made a joke to lighten the mood."

   "But what does this have to do with your current situation?"

   Rega explained:

   "I know there is another way to solve Sif's problem. In the blood banner family's castle, there is a treasure called the Holy Grail of Sin that can provide the evil elements needed for Sif's awakening.

   But I am not qualified to take this item, not even to borrow it.

  The members of the Blood Banner family took strict precautions against it, and the nearby guards were so tight that even a fly could not fly past it.

   It is almost impossible to get.

   Forced into desperation.

  I can only choose to give it a go.

  I left the castle, exposed my whereabouts, and attracted people from the Blood Banner Kingdom to come to me;

  In order to deal with them, I privately notified the people of the Bru tribe.

  Anyway, the two of them are old enemies, and they will fight if they don't fight now.

  At that time, I had been avoiding the pursuit of both sides, so as to attract the attention of most people in Escana, and the most important thing was to lure away the legendary devil Lysia who was sitting in red and black.

   Looking at it so far, this plan is only half successful. Indeed, many tieflings left the Red and Black Castle to find me, but Lutia did not show up.

   But it shouldn't be far away.

   I guess after Lilith misses, she will come to me!

that time.

   It's time for Asma and Dulin, who are lurking in the depths of the castle, to do it! "

   Rhaegar explained his plan in a low voice.

  Matthew frowned:

   "Are you going to steal your own treasures?"

   "Is your relationship really that bad?"

   "I think they still value you very much, can't you sacrifice your body and discuss a lease plan with them?"

  Rega sighed:

   "If only it were that simple, the Holy Grail of Sin is not an ordinary treasure."

   "It is a funerary object of the ancestors of the past generations. It was buried in the cemetery on the hill behind the Red and Black Castle, and was placed together with other treasures in the legendary sacrifice room of the Blood Banner Kingdom."

   "Only members of the Blood Banner royal family after death are eligible to enter the cemetery. Trying to break in under any other circumstances will be regarded as a heinous crime!"

   "I know them very well, including those old retainers. It is impossible for those old-fashioned guys to agree to let me go to the cemetery."

   "So I can only find a way to sneak in by myself."

  Matthew's complexion is also very dignified:

   "But the two knights, Asma and Du Lin, don't seem to be good at thieves."

  Rega said helplessly:

   "I have no better way in a hurry."

  Matthew frowned.

  He asked a few more detailed questions.

   Rhaegar answered exactly.

   At the end.

   Rhaegar suddenly asked:

   "Your mentor, she looks like she can fight, can she deal with legends?"

   didn't wait for Matthew to answer.

  A loud voice suddenly came from outside the secret door:

"Can!"

  Matthew looked in the direction of the secret door with some amusement:

   "Are you eavesdropping?"

   There was a moment of silence outside.

   It was a long time before Margaret's voice came:

   "No eavesdropping, your voice is too loud..."

   The two looked at each other in blank dismay.

   By coincidence, they walked towards the depths of the tunnel for a while.

  Rega said:

   "In short, I have to continue to run around the border. To attract the attention of both sides, I must attract Lutia to come over, and then escape and return to the main material world at the right time."

   "I hope Asma and Du Lin can succeed."

   However, his words were not finished yet.

  A blood-colored phantom quickly formed in front of Rega, and a very gentle voice came from within the phantom:

   "Did you come back?"

   "My dearest brother, Rhaegar?"

   "These two servants of yours are really restless. They actually sneaked into the castle. Don't they know that the realm of the legendary devil is very sensitive? Hehehe..."

   That's all for now.

   Two screams came from the blood shadow.

  Rega's complexion turned pale immediately:

   "It's broken! It's Asma and Dulin!"

   "Yes, they are."

  The gentle voice said again:

"Don't worry, they are registered guardian knights of the Blood Banner family. I won't hurt them. I just can't guarantee whether they will change their allegiance after a long time. After all, I am the most outstanding generation of the Blood Banner royal family." character."

   "You obediently wait for me where you are, and when I take away the contracts on them, I will come to you immediately."

   Finish this sentence.

  The blood shadow disappeared instantly.

  Rega's face was full of depression.

   Immediately this depression turned into tension:

   "It's Luticia, she lied, she is approaching me quickly, **** it, she has mastered the mystery of the Blood Banner's bloodline, she can determine my location at any time!"

   "Ten minutes at most, no, maybe seven minutes, she will find here!"

  Matthew suggested:

   "Let's return to the main material world first, and then think about it in the long run."

  Rega quickly shook his head:

   "No, it's an opportunity for Lutia to leave the castle now.

   It is impossible for Asma and Du Lin to reveal my plan. She probably thought that I might want to steal something from the castle.

  But in fact the cemetery is on the back hill of the castle.

   This is really an opportunity.

  If we can get there now, the guards there must be very lax, maybe an advanced invisibility spell can get in.

  Damn it!

   If only there was a teleportation scroll! "

  Compared to Rhaegar's excitement.

  Matthew maintained absolute sanity:

   "For the time being, we are not enough to confront a legend head-on. Even if you successfully divert the tiger away from the mountain, even if we can reach your ancestor's cemetery, the cemetery is probably extremely dangerous, and the probability of finding the sacrificial place safely is very slim."

  Why doesn't Rhaegar understand this truth?

  He also said with a wry smile:

   "You're right. The most important thing is that we don't have an outstanding thief in our team. It seems that we have to return to Rolling Stone Town and ask Richard to take action..."

   However, at this time.

  Margaret's figure suddenly appeared between the two.

  Her expression looked impatient:

   "Who said you can't rob graves without an outstanding thief?"

   "I have very good lockpicking spells and trap removal skills."

   "If you can really attract that legend's attention and provide me with enough information about the cemetery, Matthew and I can do it for you!"

   The two of them were startled by her, and they couldn't help but each took a step back.

  Matthew looked at Margaret wonderingly:

   "Didn't you say there was no eavesdropping?"

  Margaret said without changing her face:

   "It is true that there is no eavesdropping, but there is a crack in the door, and your voice is leaking from it."

  The two just wanted to look at the secret door.

  Margaret suddenly waved her fist in the air.

  There is a hole the size of a fist on the secret door.

  The wind gushed in from the outside.

  The two looked at each other, both convinced by Margaret's reasons.

"How about it?"

"Do you need my help?"

  Margaret showed a smile that she thought was very kind.

  Rega was caught in a tangle.

  Of course he understands that there can be no goodwill without a reason in this world.

  The reason why Margaret is willing to help is probably because she has taken a fancy to the treasures in the sacrificial room!

   "Can you promise me not to take too many things?"

  Rega asked very hard:

   "That is my ancestor's funeral after all."

  Margaret promised:

   "Of course, if you ask, I can take nothing, after all, Matthew is my good friend."

  Rega's eyes lit up:

"Really?"

  Margaret immediately said:

   "Fake, I just said that to make you feel better."

   "Really, I have to get to the bottom of it!"

   Rhaegar suddenly smiled wryly.

  Matthew looked at Margaret curiously:

   "Can you really deal with legends?"

  Margaret proudly straightened her flat chest:

   "I'm 4.6 million!"

   "I'm not really afraid of ordinary legends."

  Matthew asked with interest:

   "Where's the topaz dragon we met last time?"

  Margaret's face collapsed:

   "Don't mention him!"

   "He is not an ordinary legend. Besides, he has the Mushroom King and the weird microbes beside him. It can be regarded as two and a half legends!"

  In the tunnel.

   Rhaegar paced back and forth.

   Half a minute later.

  He stomped his feet suddenly:

   "Forget it, I will go all out for Sif!"

   "Those old things lying in the cemetery every day should understand me, right? They are all dead anyway, why leave so many funeral objects, it is better to benefit future generations."

   During the conversation.

  He handed a map, three glass bottles filled with blood and an old amulet to Matthew.

   "This amulet can prevent you from being attacked by the undead guards in the cemetery;

  These three bottles of blood belong to me, and the validity period is about seven hours. You can use it according to the situation;

   This is the map of the Red and Black Castle, on which you can find the location of the cemetery and the specific directions between the sacrifices.

  Remember, the treasure that Sif needs is a thing called the Holy Grail of Sin, don't make a mistake!

   Also, don't try to pull up my ancestor's dead body! "

   Rhaegar warned Matthew Road.

   Matthew didn't want to go.

   But hear this.

   Suddenly his eyes lit up.

   It seems that it is not impossible to take a trip...

   "What does the Holy Grail of Sin look like? Can you describe it?"

   Matthew asked.

   "You'll know it when you see it!"

   "A treasure of this level will tell you its name, but you have to be careful not to be confused by it, or you may become its slave."

   Rhaegar said hastily:

   "I can feel that Luticia is very close to us, I must run away immediately!"

   "This spider tunnel leads to the hinterland of the Blood Banner Kingdom. It only takes three hours at the fastest, and you can reach Red and Black."

   "But there are many traps in this tunnel, you must be careful!"

   said.

  He patted Matthew on the shoulder, and then quickly left the secret door.

Soon after.

   Rhaegar's aura disappeared outside the secret door.

   "Advanced escape scroll, your lord is really a rich man!"

   "If he has a lot of these high-end goods in his hands, maybe he can really deal with the legendary devil."

  Margaret said with some envy.

   "I just hope that the next time we meet, he isn't tied to the ground by fishnet stockings."

   Matthew shrugged.

  At the moment, Margaret used a repair technique on the leaky secret door, and used methods to clean up the traces of the tunnel entrance and exit.

  The two quickly walked towards the depths of the tunnel.

   With the passage of time.

  The tension in Matthew's heart was gradually diluted, replaced by slight worry.

  It seems that the legendary devil has indeed gone after Rhaegar.

   "It's his sister anyway, I hope it's easier to deal with it."

   One thought of this.

  Matthew couldn't help speeding up his pace.

   Didn't take a few steps out.

  He was suddenly grabbed by Margaret!

   "There is a trap ahead!"

  Margaret quickly threw a trap detection spell.

  For a moment, the ground in front of him, the walls on both sides, the ceiling above his head, and even the air between them were filled with scarlet lines.

   That's the sign to trigger the trap!

   "So many traps?"

   "Isn't it troublesome to exclude?"

  Matthew suggested:

   "Can you open through any door?"

  But immediately he found that the vision of the passage in front of him was dim, and it seemed that he had been subjected to the effect of darkness. If he opened any door rashly, he would very likely get into the wall and cause tragedy.

   "Don't use any door. Countermeasures against mages are usually set up near this trap group."

  Margaret explained as if in a class:

   "The middle way to deal with traps is to find thieves."

   "The worst way is to use trap removal spells to remove them one by one."

  Matthew couldn't help asking:

   "Aren't you going to use the trap removal spell?"

  Margaret shook her head confidently:

"of course not."

   "I have my own trap elimination technique, which is what I call the best method, and I named it "Margaret Elimination Method"! "

   "You take ten steps back."

   Matthew did so without knowing it.

   Next second.

  Marguerite's body lit up with colorful lights.

   First, mana shield.

   Another ball of force field.

   There are also arrow deflection, sword invulnerability, steel body, damage transfer, physical reflection, magic absorption, fire immunity, acid protection... a lot of protective spells.

that moment.

  Matthew suddenly guessed what the Margaret elimination method means!

   Next second.

  But I saw Margaret walked into the trap with her head held high.

   Papa Papa.

  Intense machine sounds sounded in the depths of the tunnel.

  Countless huge fireballs emerged from the stone walls on both sides, followed by dozens of sharp steel spears piercing alternately, and a large number of crossbow arrows shot at Margaret's body from all corners.

   Ma Youfu strong acid arrow.

   Chain lightning.

   Curse of Weakness.

  Poison cloud technique.

   The floor caved in.

  Acid swelling.

  In an instant, countless spells erupted at the same time.

   Even if you are ten steps away.

  Matthew also had to take out the defensive poems and called up the protective spells to resist the aftermath of the explosion of the trap mechanism.

  The place that was really bombarded by various forces.

   Has completely fallen into the maze of colorful colors.

   Matthew couldn't see Margaret.

   Ten minutes later.

   When all is said and done.

  Matthew saw Margaret with a relaxed expression at the end of the tunnel.

  She pulled out the crossbow bolt stuck in her temple.

   Then smiled and waved to Matthew:

   "Look, isn't the trap cleared?"

   "This is Margarita's Elimination!"

"Have you learned it?"

  …
