A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1417 The Emperor of the Su Clan!

...

Hex looked at Matthew with surprise.

"Is this your first reaction after learning that there is a way to live forever in this world?

"You don't look like a young man. "

Matthew smiled.

"Perhaps you have underestimated the young man?

"Besides, there are many kinds of young people... "

Hex shook his head.

"No, in most cases, it takes time to be sophisticated.

"Your reaction was too calm as if you had rehearsed it in advance. Or perhaps, you have encountered similar scenes in other places?

"In short, your performance is not like a soul that is less than thirty years old... "

Even though Hex did not hide her surprise, Matthew could not help but sigh in his heart.

The eyes of these legendary mages were really vicious!

He was indeed able to remain as calm as he was now because of the Eternal Immortal Orchid.

And Matthew's soul was indeed not as young as he looked.

Logically speaking.

Hex had lost the power of a Legendary mage.

However, her instincts and senses were still sharp.

This made Matthew click his tongue in wonder.

However, he did not dwell on this topic for too long. Instead, he quickly cut to the chase.

"Tell me about what you people from Baiyan City did back then.

"I heard that the city lord of that year, the Pale King Dickens, planned to resurrect the Scar of the Dead into a Ghost Tentacle. "

Hex nodded.

"This is the plan we presented to the Alliance. "

Matthew asked curiously,

"Are you planning to use negative energy to replace the ashes? "

Hex said seriously,

"It's covering, not replacing.

"The energy left behind by the Void Ruler cannot disappear into thin air, and with the means of the material world, it is almost impossible to digest this energy. Therefore, the best way is to cover it. As long as it is covered properly, it can ensure that the energy from the void does not leak out and then seal it.

"If the Alliance gives us permission, that's what we're going to do. "

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, from a necromancer's point of view, this plan was indeed feasible.

But the problem was…

Doing so was equivalent to handing the mobile bomb, the Scar of the Dead, to Baiyan City.

The resurrected Death Tentacles will be an independent Undead Lord.

It would be the servant of the Necromancer of Baiyan City.

Theoretically, it was still reliable.

But in reality?

The Alliance obviously didn't trust Baiyan City that much.

Thus, this plan was ultimately rejected by the Alliance.

"After that, we studied the Scar of the Dead from several other directions.

"We found a way to extract the power of ashes. Through simple energy conversion and a little ancient alchemy ritual, we can absorb a large number of Soul Crystals, which makes us ecstatic.

"We know that the Alliance doesn't trust us. The Holy Mages won't allow us to stay near the Scar of the Dead for long.

" Therefore, it didn't take long for Baiyan City to reach a consensus. All the necromancers joined forces to convert the power of ashes into high-purity Soul Crystals. During that time, we worked almost day and night... "

When mentioning that past.

Hex's face was filled with reminiscence.

Matthew pinched his nose.

As expected.

Necromancers were all the same when facing high-quality Soul Crystals!

"And then you were expelled by the Alliance.

"The wood elves hate you because you captured nearby creatures and threw them into the Scar of the Dead in order to carry out the evil act of man-made Soul Crystals, right? "

Matthew guessed.

Hex sighed and said,

"That is exactly what happened.

"Necromancers are a group of short-sighted scum. They have no honour at all!

" I thought I could persuade Dania and Dickens to stop this kind of exhausting behaviour, but they promised very well, but they did it even more ruthlessly in private.

" I disdained to associate with them and was about to leave, but at this time, Dania told me that she accidentally discovered an incomplete transformation product in the process of high-speed extraction of Soul Crystals.

"She named the substance Ember Blood Crystal.

"The appearance of the Ember Blood Crystal had shaken my stance…"

Speaking of this…

Hex lowered her head in shame.

Matthew realized that this Ember Blood Crystal was probably the key to eternal life that Hex had mentioned earlier.

"Have you peeped into the realm of immortality from this substance? "

Hex nodded.

"Through experiments, we discovered that all living beings will immediately burn themselves after consuming an Ember Blood Crystal, turning their souls and bodies into ashes.

" However, as long as this pile of ashes is carefully preserved, a new life will crawl out of the ashes after seven days. If it's a human's ashes, then a newborn baby will crawl out of the ashes. If it's a bird or a dragon, an egg will emerge from the ashes...

" A newborn is pure white at the beginning of their birth. When they grow to a certain age, they will suddenly awaken the memories of their previous lives and restore their personality.

"Theoretically, as long as you have an unlimited amount of Ember Blood Crystals, you can repeat the process of growing from a baby to an old age indefinitely.

"Of course, it's a form of immortality! "

Matthew was still unmoved.

"I still want to know what the side effects of taking the Ember Blood Crystal to revive are. "

Hex smiled helplessly.

"We only completed the first phase of the experiment on the human body, and then we were investigated by the Alliance. "
