âIf your project were popular enough, they would even take the initiative to pay to join the project.
âAfter all, this kind of resume was very important to the ranking within the
Alliance.â
While talking to Matthew, Fandral used magic to write on the paper.
âIn order to fight against the Scar of the Dead, Mr. Matthew did not hesitate to risk his life to study the taboo ritual. This shows that he has a selfless spirit of sacrifice.â
Alice glanced at the floating piece of paper, subconsciously clenching her evaluation paper.
After a long time, she slowly let go.
The group passed by the oak forest.
Fandral couldnât help but praise,
âThe air here is filled with a fragrant smell. I just saw a sign outside.
Matthew nodded.
Fandral praised,
âYou really have good taste. You bought such a refreshing forest.â
Even Alice couldnât help but say,
âThe vitality of these oak trees is unbelievably abundant. Itâs indeed a very good forest.â
Matthew thought to himself, how could these oak trees not have enough vitality after draining the earth?
He didnât explain further. He just smiled and led the two of them through the forest to the northeast near the Scar of the Dead.
The moment they left the oak forest.
Alice and Fandral were shocked by the number of undead in front of them.
But very quickly.
Their attention was attracted by the Scar of the Dead.
Matthew led them through the zombie horde and arrived at a small hill about 30 meters away from the Scar of the Dead.
He pointed to the long strip of land marked with branches and said,
â Thatâs the experimental field where I plan to hold the Scorched Earth Ritual of
Death.
âItâs about 10 meters long and 2 meters wide. Itâs at the forefront of the Scar of the Deadâs expansion.
â Both of you should know that the Scar of the Dead has been expanding, but compared to the past few years, it has become more active. According to the current progress, it will soon threaten Rolling Stone Town. If we leave it alone, the residents here may have to leave their homes. It will be a disaster.â Alice seriously looked at the ground for a while.
She found many pre-made symbols related to necromancy on that piece of land.
âWhatâs with that blank spot?â
She suddenly pointed at a gap in the experimental plot and asked.
Matthew glanced at it.
âThat is used to place the Realm Heart Stone. The ceremony still needs to be approved by the local lord. Before that, I will not act rashly.â Aliceâs tone softened a little.
âDo you have a good relationship with the local lord?â
Matthew thought for a moment.
âItâs alright, but I heard that he took away the honour of being an outstanding citizen that should have belonged to me.â A hint of doubt appeared in Aliceâs eyes.
At this moment.
Suddenly, there was movement in the Scar of the Dead.
An Ashen Pawn suddenly crawled out of the scorched earth and rushed towards Matthew and the others!
âGet out of the way!â
Fandral nervously took out his staff.
However, someone was much faster than him.
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow pierced through the soldierâs chest. The soldier wailed and suddenly turned into a pile of black dust and sparks. Just as Fandral and Alice heaved a sigh of reliefâŠ
Matthew scolded unhappily,
âRenesme!
âHow many times have I told you not to shoot the pawns with white feather arrows? Let Soldier handle them!
âArrows cost money!â
Renesme put down her elven longbow and looked at Matthew innocently. She could not help but drool.
Matthew frowned, took out a towel, and quickly went forward to wipe the corner of her mouth clean.
âSoldier!â
He shouted,
âGo get the arrow for her!â
When Soldier, who was slacking off, heard this, he helplessly disappeared into the air.
A few seconds later.
The white feather arrow with a slightly blunt arrowhead appeared in the quiver that Matthew had given Renesme.
âDonât forget your arrow maintenance skill!â
Matthew gave a few instructions before returning to the assessment team.
âIâm sorry.â
Matthew apologized.
Alice shook her head, then looked curiously at Matthew.
âMr. Matthewâs way of getting along with the undead seems a little special.â She couldnât help but recall the Tauren skeleton she saw at Matthewâs house.
Matthew was surprised.
âIs there? I donât know. Iâve never interacted with other necromancers. âSpeaking of which, are there many necromancers in the Alliance?â Fandral shook his head and said,
âVery few. This is mainly related to the history of Baiyan City.
âThe first castellan of Baiyan City was originally a high-ranking member of the Alliance, but he had a conflict with the seven Great Mages at that time and ultimately chose to leave.
âLater, he founded Baiyan City, gathered a large number of necromancers, and created the advancement of necromancers with the help of the divine weapon Human Desire Chain. He also issued the famous City Lord Code.
âMatthew, you should know this better than us.
âDue to some unknown reasons, the Alliance had been hostile to Baiyan City for some time in history.
âAlthough they had reconciled, and each generation of Baiyan Cityâs City Lord would have a virtual position within the Alliance, other necromancers would not join the Alliance, and the Alliance would not take the initiative to recruit necromancers.
âThis was probably a tacit agreement between the higher-ups and Baiyan City.
âYou are obviously an exception.â
After Fandral finished speaking.
Alice suddenly gave Matthew a deep bow.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Matthew. I was too impulsive before. I misunderstood you.. I thought you were like the Necromancers in Baiyan City, always doing evil things under the banner of justiceâŠâ
