Chapter 1569 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1569: 433 Headless Horseman and Yeager Blade_2 “She’s moving with the Fishmen?” Hayek raised a skeptical question. Sener shrugged: “Who knows, maybe it’s tracking.” Hayek snorted: “I don’t trust trolls anyway. I survived in the Underdark for three years, and after returning to the surface, I’ve warned every intelligent surface-dwelling creature—never trust a troll!” Sener laughed: “Coincidentally, I have a similar piece of advice.” “That is not to trust necromancers.” In the midst of their conversation, the group had already arrived in the city. Even without a high vantage point, Matthew could sense the grandeur and spectacle of the city. The city walls towered like an insurmountable gulf. As for the scale of the city, it was even more astonishing— Rolling Stone City was the largest city Matthew Aindo had ever seen. Although the Extreme North Floating City, headquarters of the Seven Saint Alliance, was intricate and sophisticated, due to extensive use of spatial folding technology and demiplane dimension anchors, it could not compare in outward scale to those truly large cities. And Ancient City of Klarafa. Its area was more than ten times that of Rolling Stone City! This ancient city was not only vast in territory but also featured uniquely styled architecture. Most buildings were tall, presumably to accommodate the large size of the trolls. There were also a few relatively low houses. These houses were usually located on the edge of a district. Probably built for other races living under the trolls’ wing. Though most of the houses were in a state of disrepair, through some of the details, everyone could still feel the past prosperity and refinement of the Troll Empire’s golden age. Thanks to the map given by Margaret, the group entered, and Matthew quickly completed the initial positioning; they headed towards the first district where the little boy had been seen. Along the way, they chatted haphazardly. Matthew wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that Sener was particularly eager to chat with him today: “You took the Purification Staff, aren’t you afraid that Audacia will fight you to the death?” Matthew shrugged: “I thought she wasn’t planning to let me off the hook to begin with.” Sener coughed: “As far as I know, she’s not exactly broad-minded. How about you sell the staff to me? You can’t use it anyway.” Matthew looked at her strangely: “I’m a bona fide spellcaster. It makes sense for me to have a staff, right? Why should I sell it to you?” Sener chuckled: “You’re carrying a shovel, sickles, sticks, a Silver Sword, a spear, skeletons. You have everything except a staff. And you’re telling me you’re a bona fide spellcaster?” Matthew was at a loss for words and could only attack her profession: “Do wanderers need a staff?” Sener smiled bashfully: “You might not believe it, but I did take up spellcasting part-time…” “Even though out of necessity I became a Thief as an adult, my childhood dream was always to become a mage…” Matthew fell silent. But he knew it was impossible for him to sell the Purification Staff to Sener. So for the moment, he could only fob her off with a few words. Seeing Sener with a look of lingering attachment, still coveting the staff, Matthew coughed and changed the subject: “That Legendary Archer who attacked us just now, do you know anything about him?” It was Sener who responded the fastest: “Dawn Star Leon, half-blood with Su lineage. Like Mother of Black Dragon Audacia, he comes from the mysterious nation of the Thorny Flower Sword.” “It’s said that Leon was a famous archer with unerring accuracy even when he was young, but limited by the level cap of the Secondary Plane, he couldn’t advance to Legendary.” “Obviously, like Audacia, he benefited from a plane disturbance that occurred a few years ago in the Thorny Flower Sword, allowing him to break through to become a threatening character.” Just like Mother of Black Dragon? Matthew frowned. How come these high-level fighters from Secondary Planes were suddenly making collective breakthroughs? He felt there must be a reason. Indeed. It was the Traveler God Mo Song who took over the topic: “I know a bit about this too. I just didn’t have a chance to mention it earlier.” “For a very long time, Thorny Flower Sword, as a Secondary Plane, could only support the highest profession’s advancement to LV20. Therefore, Half-Legends were the ceiling for every professional.” “In that kind of plane, 20th-level powerhouses are revered as Holy Realm fighters.” “In fact, these Holy Realm fighters might not be much weaker than the watered-down Legends of the material world during combat in their native plane.” “And True Legends from the material plane would also be restricted by the plane laws when entering Secondary Planes, leading to a downscaling of levels, restricting them to around 20th level.”” “The variable that changed this situation was the Days of Heavenly Change!” “Under the impact of Days of Heavenly Change, the established order of the Multiverse is slowly collapsing, even the individual realms like the Heavenly Family Palace are slowly returning; how could other peripheral laws not gradually loosen?” “Collisions between Secondary Planes and the material plane became more frequent, and amid the continuous collisions and dissolutions of planes, many Secondary Planes’ laws exploded or were rewritten, and professionals’ ceilings were broken through during unforgettable events.” “Thorny Flower Sword is such a plane that perfectly benefited from the Days of Heavenly Change. Audacia and Leon seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, helping their world achieve a half-step energy level jump, thus embedding Thorny Flower Sword more deeply into the material world.” “After that, the highest level in Thorny Flower Sword was raised to LV22, and they were treated akin to Plane Sons in the Secondary Plane, with their strength advancing by leaps and bounds under the promotion of the plane consciousness, reaching the Legendary realm!”
