Matthew obviously couldnât learn this.
In theory, necromancers seemed to be the best job class to trigger traps with their bodies.
However, the actual operation was not that simple.
Whether it was skeletons or zombies, their lives were too fragile. A low-level undead could only trigger one trap at most.
As for areas like the Spider Tunnel, where traps were concentrated, it would take a lot of effort to use summons to explore them one by one.
As for the high-level undead, the average necromancer would not bear to let them use their bodies to withstand the damage of the trap.
Therefore, Margaretâs elimination method was not suitable for Matthew at this stage.
If he had the time, he might as well recruit a rogue who was proficient in dismantling traps.
This way, the cost would be lower.
However, to Margaret, the power of 4.6 million gold coins allowed her to completely ignore any traps below Legend rank.
Immediately.
Margaret took the lead.
Matthew followed from afar.
After passing through the area where the traps were triggered, he followed Margaretâs footsteps again.
The path in the Spider Tunnel was not difficult to walk on.
The two of them walked side by side.
Time passed by.
As the journey was too boring, the two of them unknowingly started chatting.
Matthew asked Margaret how much she knew about the Suki Kingdom. The latter immediately spoke with assurance,
â The history of the Kingdom of Suki is recorded in great detail within the Alliance. There is even a small section in the library that is dedicated to storing books related to the Kingdom of Blood Flag.
âThe earliest founder of this country could be traced back to a man named Mophisto.
âHe was a high-level demon from the third level of Purgatory, the Seamless Secret Cave. He was the lover and guard of the Demoness of Desire, Glasia.
âAfter the ascension of the Heavenly Palace, the Calamity Mage visited Purgatory once, and she had beaten up the Master of the Nine Hells at that time, Barthor, to the bottom of the Bridge of All Life on the ninth level of Purgatory, sealing him together with the Abominations.
âBarthorâs half-fall triggered the distortion and fission of the purgatory plane.
âHundreds of years later.
âEvery layer of the purgatory was very unstable. There were many folds between the layers, and these folds caused the relatively unified Nine Hells to develop into many branch planes like the Endless Abyss.
âAfter the initial incubation period, these branch planes quickly entered the â fission period,â which was the period of rapid expansion and extension. âThe Escana between the planes we are currently in was formed during this stage.
âIt was a sub-material realm formed after the folds of the Nine Hells fused with a certain layer of the Endless Abyss.
âAt the beginning of the fission of the Purgatory.
âAfter witnessing the ascension of the Heavenly Palace and the sealing of Barthor, the high-level demon, Mophisto, was born with great ambition.
âHe tried to convince the Queen of Desire, Glasia, to bestow him with an army of demons through pillow talk.
âMophisto told Glasia that he would lead this army to the new plane and defeat all enemies. He would also find the three drops of Blood of Barthor that Barthor, the Lord of Nine Hells, had lost in Purgatory when he was injured by the Calamity Mage.
âOne had to know.
âThe Demoness of Desire, Glasia, was Barthorâs biological daughter. With these three drops of Barthorâs blood, she would have a chance to become the new Lord of the Nine Hells.
âIn addition, she trusted her lover very much, so she agreed to Mophistoâs request.
âJust like that, Mophisto led the demon army to the newborn Escana, which was the land under our feet.
âIn the beginning, Mophisto had indeed done his best to help Glasia conquer the world.
âHe had fought fiercely with the demon army from the abyss for decades, and the number of demons who had died by his hands was more than ten million.
âHowever, there was no end to killing demons.
âNot only that but under the leadership of a Greater Demon Lord called Bru, the demons actually united and resisted the invasion of the demon army together. âAs a result, the Purgatory forcesâ battle in Escana became very tense.
âHe had no choice.
âMophisto had to compromise. He reached an agreement with the Purgatory Humans who had wandered over from who knew where.
âThe two sides would not invade each other and help each other for the next thousand years.
âIn the end, the day after the agreement was signed.
âThe leader of the Purgatory Humans, the woman whose name had not been recorded in history, showed the blood of Barthor that she had obtained in front of Mophisto.
âIt turned out that the leader of the Purgatoryâs Human Race had obtained a drop of the Blood of Barthor that Monphisto had painstakingly searched for for more than ten years.
âOf course, Mophisto coveted the Blood of Barthor.
âHowever, both parties had just signed a contract.
âAnd it was the most serious kind of contract for demons. He couldnât force them to hand over Barthorâs blood.
âIt wasnât just him who couldnât do anything about it. Even the other abominations of the Purgatory serving under him couldnât violate the alliance with the Purgatory Humans.
âAfter thinking hard and failing to find a solution, he reported the matter to the Queen of Desires.
âThe answer that the Queen of Desire, Glasia, gave him was:
âSeduction.
âGlasia persuaded Mophisto to charm and coax the human leader into submission and make her willingly hand over Barthorâs blood.
âAt first, Mophisto was a little resistant to the idea.
âHowever, under Glasiaâs repeated persuasion, he still agreed.
âMophisto had made a hundred preparations in advance, planning to seduce the human leader.
âIn the end, both sides hit it off.
âIn the spring of the second year, the human leader gave birth to a pair of
twins..â
