MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 186 The third mystery lock

  …

   Matthew obviously can't learn.

  Theoretically speaking, Necromancer seems to be the best profession for bodily trapping.

   But in practice it is not that simple.

  Whether it is a skeleton or a zombie, their lives are too fragile. A low-level undead can only trigger one trap at most.

  As for the concentrated area of ​​traps like the spider tunnel, it would take a lot of effort to use summoned objects to explore one by one.

  As for the high-level undead, ordinary necromancers are also reluctant to let them use their bodies to bear the damage of the trap.

  So the Margaret exclusion method is not suitable for Matthew at this stage.

   Have this skill.

  He might as well recruit a thief who is proficient in dismantling traps in advance.

   This way the cost is even lower.

   But for Margaret, the power of 4.6 million gold coins allows her to completely ignore any traps below legend.

  The job of an engineer is completely overqualified.

   Now.

   Margaret took the lead.

  Matthew followed far behind.

   After passing the area where the traps were densely triggered, he resumed following Margaret's pace.

   The road in the spider tunnel is not difficult.

  The two walked side by side.

   Time passed by one minute and one second.

  Because the journey was too boring, the two started chatting unconsciously.

  And when Matthew asked Margaret how much she knew about the Blood Banner Kingdom.

  The latter immediately spoke with eloquence:

   "The history of the Blood Banner Kingdom is well documented within the alliance, and there is even a special small section in the large library to store books related to the Blood Banner Kingdom.

  The earliest founder of this kingdom can be traced back to a man named Memphis.

  He is a high-ranking devil from the third layer of Purgatory, the "Secretless Cave", and is the lover and bodyguard of Gracia, the queen of **** demons.

  After Tianlun Palace ascended to the palace.

  Master of Scourge visited Purgatory once, and beat Barto, the Lord of Nine Hells at that time, to the bottom of the "Bridge of All Beings" on the ninth floor of Purgatory, and sealed it with the gods and evils.

  Bator's half-fall caused the distortion and fission of the Purgatory plane.

  Hundreds of years after that.

  Each layer of purgatory is very unstable, and many folds are formed between layers. These folds make the relatively unified nine-layer purgatory develop many branch planes like the endless abyss.

  After the initial gestation period, these branch planes soon entered the "fission period", which is the period of rapid outward expansion.

  The Escana between the planes we are in was formed at this stage.

   That is the submaterial world formed after the folds from Nine Layers of Purgatory merged with a certain layer of the endless abyss.

   And at the beginning of the fission of purgatory.

  Witnessed the ascension of Tianlun Palace and the sealing of Bator, the high-ranking devil Mephisto had great ambitions.

  He tries to convince Gracia, the queen of **** demons, to grant him an army of demons through Pillowwind.

Memphis told Gracia that he would lead this army to the new planes, defeat all enemies, and find the three drops of "Bator" that Bartor, the Lord of the Nine Hells, lost in Purgatory when he was injured by the Scourge Mage. blood".

To know.

  Grasia, Queen of Eros, is Bator's own daughter. With these three drops of Bator's blood, she has a chance to become the new Lord of the Nine Hells.

   Coupled with the great trust in her lover, Gracia agreed to Mephister's request.

   In this way, Memphis led the army of demons to the nascent Escana, which is the land under our feet.

  In the beginning, Memphis did his best to conquer the world for Gracia.

  He fought fiercely with the demon legion that came here from the abyss for decades, and more than ten million demons died in his hands.

   But the devil is endless.

   Not only that, under the leadership of a great demon lord named Blue, the demons actually united together to resist the invasion of the demon army.

   As a result, the battle of the purgatory forces in Escana became very tense.

   Forced by desperation.

  Memphis had no choice but to make a compromise. He reached an agreement with the Purgatory Human Race who wandered from nowhere.

  The two sides will not invade each other and help each other in the next thousand years.

  As a result, the day after the agreement was signed.

  The leader of the Purgatory Human Race, the woman whose name was not left in history showed the blood of Barto that she had harvested in front of Memphis.

  It turned out that Memphis had searched hard for more than ten years for Barto's blood, and one drop of it was obtained by the leader of the Purgatory Terran.

   Of course, Memphis is extremely greedy for Barto's blood.

   But the two parties just signed the contract.

   And it is the most serious contract for the devil, he cannot force the other party to hand over the blood of Bator.

   Not only Memphis can't do anything, even the other devils in the third purgatory behind him can't violate the covenant with the purgatory human race.

   Memphis tried hard to find a solution, so he reported the matter to the Queen of Eros.

  The answer given to him by Gracia, Queen of Erin Demon, is:

   Just use the beauty meter.

  Gracia hopes that Memphis can coax the leader of the human race into submission, and let her voluntarily present the blood of Barto.

  At first, Memphis was a little bit resistant to beauty tricks.

  But under Gracia's repeated persuasion.

  He still agreed.

  Mephisto made a hundred preparations in advance, intending to seduce the leader of the human race.

  As a result, the two hit it off.

   In the spring of the second year, the leader of the human race gave birth to a pair of twins for Mephisto.

  The twins are actually the ancestors of your friend Rhaegar and the real founder of the Blood Banner Kingdom.

anyway.

   Gracia saw that the relationship between Memphis and the leader of the human race was warming up day by day, so she urged Mephisto to retrieve Barto's blood as soon as possible.

  However, the human heart is such a miraculous thing.

  After having a child.

  Mephister's ambition faded instead. He didn't want his children to be dominated by the devil. Years of wars made him tired of endless bloodshed.

  When the leader of the human race really gave the blood of Bartor to Mephisto, the latter did not hand it over to the Queen of Eriny, but split it in two and integrated it into the bodies of the twins.

  From this point, it is not difficult for us to understand why the Blood Banner Kingdom can survive in Escana.

   After all, they have the blood of Maharaja Bator, the Lord of the Nine Prisons, flowing through their bodies! "

  Matthew listened with gusto.

   I didn't expect the Blood Banner Kingdom to have such a history.

   "Then what happened next?"

   "Gracia, Queen of Desires, will definitely not let Mephister and the leader of the human race go just like that?"

   Matthew asked.

  Margarita nodded:

  "Of course, when Bartor's blood was fused into the twins, Erinia Queen noticed Mephisto's betrayal.

  Devils are terrible creatures. There is a strict hierarchy between their superiors and subordinates, and the system is orderly.

   Memphis' betrayal made Gracia furious.

  She sent an army of demons to fight across the border.

  Although Memphis at this time has reached a peace agreement with the great demon lord Blue.

  But the devil army he led and the elite of the purgatory human race could not resist the army of the Queen of Demons.

  After a miserable battle of annihilation.

  The leader of the human race who had just been born died on the battlefield.

   Memphis was taken back to the Third Inferno of Purgatory.

   And the twins were entrusted by Memphis to a mysterious monk to raise them.

   Decades later.

  There is no record of the twins within the alliance.

   Instead, it was Memphis.

  He was abused day and night after being captured by the Queen of Desires.

   It is said that one of the favorite things of the Erin Demon Queen is to turn into the leader of the human race and appear in front of Memphis.

   Then, in front of his face, he fought with other devils and exchanged swords with swords.

   Even ask Memphis:

  ‘How wonderful is that mortal woman? '

  ‘Can she do what I do? '

  ‘Give you another chance to demonstrate how you and her do it! '

   and so on.

   In short, it is too much..."

   Hear here.

  Matthew couldn't help wondering:

   "Can even such content be found in the Alliance Library?"

   "Described as if someone was actually there when Erinia tortured Memphis."

  Margaret disagreed and said:

   "Of course, the creator of the "Secret History of the Infernal Cave" that records the ins and outs of this incident is another personal bodyguard of Queen Eriny.

  He witnessed everything that happened at that time.

   Later, he became Mr. Fei Capital's contract devil by chance, so he joined the Seven Saints Alliance and served as the curator of the Great Library.

  伱 Going to the big library now, there is also a chance to meet that gentleman.

  That gentleman has written many books, all of which are famous for their authenticity.

   What's even more rare is that the work of that gentleman is not only highly professional, but also very readable. I strongly recommend that you borrow a few more copies to read when you have time! "

  Matthew curiously said:

   "Why is it called that gentleman? No specific name?"

   Margaret shook her head:

"That gentleman is easy to be hated because he wrote too many secret histories of great people, so his name has been erased. We can only call him that gentleman. As far as I know, the personal bodyguard of the Queen of Demons In fact, it is just an incarnation of that gentleman.

  His incarnations are thousands upon thousands.

  Some people suspect that he is another powerful devil who is close to the Lord of the Nine Hells.

  But so far there is no actual basis. "

  After hearing this, Matthew was quite moved.

  It seems that the big library of the alliance still has to go to it frequently. In addition to learning spells, it is also necessary to learn all kinds of knowledge.

   To avoid future losses in related fields.

   "What about later?"

   "The Queen of Eriny just let the children of Memphis go?"

  Matthew continued to ask.

   Margaret said:

"Of course not. Since then, the Queen of Evil Demons has sent people to search and arrest the twins in Escana. Unfortunately, they can't find the whereabouts of the twins. Mephisto is also very stubborn. He didn't tell the whereabouts of his children until he was tortured to death. .

   Until three hundred years later.

  On the land of Escana, there appeared a pair of tieflings who respectively control the Lightning Frost and the Forbidden Blood Curse. Their relationship is both siblings and lovers.

  They are the sons of the devil who were born with Bartor's blood.

  Relying on their extremely powerful strength, the two swept away all enemies.

   It took only two years for them to establish the Blood Banner Kingdom on this land.

   It is said that when the Blood Banner Kingdom was at its peak, the siblings even led an army into the third level of purgatory.

   In the end they had a hard fight with the Queen of Erinyes.

   It is also after this battle.

  People realized the excellence of the tiefling race.

  This race can possess the innate power of the devil, but it will not be bound by order for life like the devil.

  The best of the tieflings possess near-human evolutionary potential.

  The Blood Banner Kingdom established by the siblings immediately attracted tieflings from other parts of the multiverse to join.

  During the heyday of the Blood Banner Kingdom.

  They can even compete with the most powerful layer among the Nine Prisons!

   It's a pity that the tiefling didn't inherit the devil's long lifespan.

   So today, more than a thousand years later.

  The Kingdom of Blood Banner's rule in Escana is not as strong as it was initially.

  After experiencing several stormy events.

  It is not too much to describe the current Blood Banner Kingdom with internal and external troubles. "

   Matthew felt something was wrong when he heard it:

   "Wait, more than a thousand years later?"

   "Bator's blood flowing into purgatory happened after Tianlun Palace ascended the palace, right?"

   "The Tianlun Palace is only a few hundred years away from the present..."

  Margaret patiently explained:

   "That's because of the fission period.

   Remember what I said earlier that after Purgatory was sealed in Bator, it went through a long period of outward expansion and extension?

   At that stage, the time flow of Purgatory was greatly accelerated.

  In the main material world, it was only a few hundred years before the Celestial Palace ascended.

   But for Purgatory, more than a thousand years have actually passed.

   Until fifty years ago.

  The fission period is over.

  The time flow rate of purgatory re-fits with the main material world.

   It was also from that period that the devils once again focused their malicious eyes on the continent of Aindor. "

   "Time is actually a very subtle concept, it is not as stable as you think."

   "For example, in our impression, the Tianlun Palace's ascension to the palace happened hundreds of years ago, but it was hundreds of years ago, can you be sure?"

  Matthew froze for a moment.

yes!

   How many hundred years ago?

   Why isn't there a clear description?

  He had hardly thought about it before.

   It seems that the knowledge about this aspect has been completely blocked.

  Margaret smiled slightly:

   "This is not your confusion alone. In fact, no one knows the specific time when the Tianlun Palace's ascension happened, including divine mages like Suriel and Isabel, and they don't have an accurate answer."

   "This is because the Tianlun Palace's ascension to the palace has too far-reaching impact. The Scourge Master released too much energy in the event of exiling the gods. These energies distorted the time domain and blurred the age."

   "To this day, the mages of the alliance have calculated according to various methods, and inferred the time of the ascension of the Tianlun Palace to between 200 and 400 years ago. This is already a remarkable progress."

   "According to my teacher's speculation, if we want to know the specific time of this historical event, I am afraid that we must have the same level of power as the Scourge Mage."

   "This is obviously very difficult to do."

   "So we only need to have this concept in our hearts, and we don't have to get to the bottom of it."

   "Correspondingly, the three mysteries imposed by the gods on the continent of Aindor are also for the same reason."

  "We only need to know its concept and existence, and there is no need to study its content carefully."

   When Matthew heard this, his heart moved:

   "By the way, I only know two of the three major mystery locks so far."

   "One is an intellectual puzzle lock, which blocks the knowledge and history of the gods;

  One is the civilization puzzle lock, which blocks the development of civilization in the Aindor world;

   What is the third one? "

  Margaret said in amazement:

   "You haven't even fully figured out the three major mystery locks?"

  Matthew scratched his head embarrassedly:

   "Our country mages are like this."

  Margaret frowned worriedly:

   "I don't feel at ease with you like this, so I went to purgatory like this."

   "You have to grasp the basic skills hard!"

   "As for the third mystery lock, it is "Chaotic Mystery Lock"! "

  …

   Accompanying the child for the physical examination today took a long time, so it was a little shorter.
