nThe Dark Knight and the Order of Calamity
n..
nCleaning up the battlefield was hard work.
nHowever, if there were rich spoils of war to take.
nThe situation was different.
nMatthew grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them into a small mud jar, then placed them into the dimensional space of the Magical Bag. The pleasant sound of metal rolling could be heard throughout the entire process.
n“There is no sound more pleasant than this.”
nThe arsonist was extremely wealthy.
nIn addition to the one he took from the cellar.
nMatthew had earned more than 500 gold coins overnight!
nIn the past three years.
nEven when his financial situation was at its best, it was less than one-tenth of what it was now.
n“This money can be used to buy a lot of green liquid. Perhaps I can consider buying a higher-level catalyst tool…This meant that many more trees could be planted this spring!”
nOther than gold coins, the wealth of items on Heiss blinded Matthew, a poor villager.
nBlazing Glue, Molotov Cocktail, Fiery Dragon Oil…These were all good materials for arson.
nIn a low-level encounter.
nThese items could unleash unimaginable power.
nWithout these items, Matthew would have flattened them long ago!
nNow.
nThe remaining items were in Matthew’s hands.
nOf course, he wouldn’t use them recklessly because the undead were naturally afraid of fire.
nIt was just that he had to be more careful when using it.
nIt wouldn’t be good if he hurt his underlings.
n..
nYou have used Identification on the Ring of Invisibility (Unidentified)!
nThe appraisal was successful, and your identification skill proficiency 10.
nRing of Invisibility (Level 1 Rare Item): Wear this on your index or middle finger, and you can enter an invisible state at any time. Can be used nine times per day.
nAttribute: Perception 1
nRemark 1 1: When in stealth mode, you cannot move, attack, or cast spells. Otherwise, the invisibility effect will disappear.
nRemark 2: You still have the ability to collide with the target when you are invisible. If you collide with someone else, the invisibility effect will disappear.
n..
n” This is more like a ‘concealment ring’.”
nMatthew looked at the silver-white ring with a black snake pattern with great interest.
nThis wondrous item was still far from being a true Ring of Invisibility.
nHowever, it could be used more often and did not require any casting actions.
nPerception 1 attribute upgrade is also worthy of the identity of a first-grade strange object.
nHe polished the ring.
nThen, he put it on his middle finger.
nThe rest of the things were a little lackluster.
nThere was still half a bottle of Advanced Sprint Potion left. He could use it for himself in the future.
nHe did not know which city the Silver Frost Brotherhood was from, nor did he know the importance of this token. It was too troublesome to throw it in the junk pile.
nAs for those illusion scrolls, they were even more comical.
nMatthew did not expect Heiss’ shiny muscles to be the effect of an illusion.
nThis guy was actually less than 1.7 meters tall.
nThe flesh on his body was also loose.
nThere were no signs of training at all.
n“Perhaps he thinks that kind of appearance will help him burn, kill, and pillage…”
nMatthew looked up at the arsonist on the ground.
nHeiss still had the same horrified expression on his face when he died.
nThe knife marks on his shoulder and the hole in his chest made the corpse look even more terrifying.
nOn the surface of the corpse.
nThe dark red spots were still spreading tirelessly.
nIt was the ” Rotten Spore ” that Matthew had previously scattered into the air.
nAfter these spores were inhaled by people, it would rapidly form an extremely itchy sac of decay on the surface of the human body.
nThe Sac of Decay was a creature from the Negative Plane.
nIt could replenish negative energy for necromancers in battle.
nMatthew currently has the ability ” Rotten Sac Mastery “.
nWhen the level was high, he could also detonate the Sac of Decay, control the Sac of Decay, and control the infected through the Sac of Decay!
nThis was the terrifying aspect of necromancers.
n..
nHeiss’ Toughness and Immunity were ridiculously high.
nHis followers had long since succumbed to the infection, but the sacs only appeared on Heiss’ body after his death.
nCrackle!
nThe sacs on Heiss’ body popped like fireworks.
nLow crisp sounds rose and fell.
nMatthew immediately stopped reading the secret letter.
n“We have to deal with it first, or it will be too ugly.”
nHe took out a dark green bottle from his Magical Bag.
nPuff.
nThe cork was pulled out.
nA group of butterflies that were flickering with green light flew out.
nThey flew around Matthew a few times.
nThen, they impatiently stopped on Heiss and the other corpses.
nAs the green light moved across the surface of the corpse.
nThe dark red marks were mostly gone.
nThis was the Phantom Butterfly, a creature from the negative energy plane.
nThe Phantom Butterfly fed on the Sac of Decay and its spores, making it a good scavenger.
nMatthew rarely used the Sac of Decay.
nEvery time he used it, he would definitely use the Phantom Butterfly to clean up the surrounding environment. This had nothing to do with the system. It was purely his own little obsession with cleanliness.
nIf the rotten spores were allowed to spread, the environment there would soon become similar to the negative energy plane.
nThis was the reason why most necromancers lived in terrible environments.
nThey were not as particular as Matthew.
n..
nThe Phantom Butterfly only fed on the Sac of Decay.
nOnce there was insufficient food, it would quickly die.
nMatthew followed the philosophy of ‘go big or go home’.
nHe didn’t stop until the fluorescent lights all over the mountain were so green that they were dazzling.
nNext was the disposal of the bodies of the arsonists.
nThis was Matthew’s first time coming into contact with such a complete and fresh corpse.
nHe was still a little nervous when dealing with it.
nThe followers of the five arsonists.
nExcept for the one who was smashed into meat paste by Peggy at the beginning.
nThe other four could be summoned as zombies.
nTheir physiques were not bad.
nScarface even had a chance to become an elite zombie!
nMatthew used ” Corpse Oil ” and ” Secret Water of Negative Plane” to simply embalm their bodies.
nAfter that, he ordered the skeleton soldiers to drag the others into his secret cave.
nZombies were far more powerful than skeletons.
nCorrespondingly, the process of summoning zombies was much more troublesome than summoning skeletons.
nHe needed to think about it carefully.
n..
nThe corpse of Heiss the Arsonist was an excellent material.
nIn Baiyan City.
nThe corpse of such a 3rd rank adventurer would definitely be sold at a high price by the necromancers.
nThis was because it was the best material to make a high-level undead summon, the Dark Knight.
nMatthew did not have the ability to make dark knights yet.
nThis was after level 12.
nAnd he had not even advanced to that level yet.
nIt was still far away.
nFor now.
nThe options in front of Matthew were as follows:
n..
nFirst, store the corpse and take it out when he had the ability to make dark knights.
nSecond, transport it to Baiyan City and sell it at a high price.
nThird, turn Heiss into a zombie and nurture it into a Zombie King.
nFourth, bury him in the oak forest to see if there were any ‘gifts of nature’.
n..
n“Let’s eliminate the second and third first.”
nMatthew’s eyes flickered.
nHe did not lack money.
nMoreover, it was too wasteful to use a Tier 3 corpse as a zombie. It was not easy to nurture a Zombie King, and there was a 99% chance that it would be a loss.
nAnd between ” Dark Knight ” and ” Gift of Nature ”
nMatthew hesitated for a moment.
nIn the end, he still chose the fourth option.
nHe wasn’t coveting Heiss’ ability.
nMore than that, he wanted to explore the mechanism of Nature’s Gift.
n“If it really doesn’t work out, I can dig the body out again.
n“Granted, that will reduce the integrity of the corpse, and the combat power of the dark knight will be greatly reduced.”
nOnce he made his decision.
nMatthew no longer hesitated.
nHe found a good place in the oak forest to bury Heiss’ body.
nAt the same time, he dealt with the victims at the farm.
nThe skeleton soldiers had average fighting abilities, but they were good at manual labor.
nHe found a piece of barren land to the north of the farm and buried everyone.
nOnly then did Matthew have the free time to read the secret letter.
nA few minutes later.
nMatthew’s expression changed slightly.
n..
nTo like-minded people:
nThe Heavenly Change was a foregone conclusion. Yurkus had awakened and was watching everyone on this continent. In time, his great power would make the hearts of the world tremble.
nThe structure of the world is changing. In the near future, the heavenly fire and seawater will pour into the inland, and every piece of land we are familiar with will become an endless purgatory.
nI have received reliable news that the Southern Guardian Ronan is trapped in the Astral Plane, the Eastern Guardian and the Evil Dragon in the Sea have both suffered heavy losses, the Western Guardian disappeared many years ago, and the Northern Guardian has never crossed the Heavenly Chasm Mountains.
nWitherer, Evil Art Master, Inheritor of the Path of the Undead, Avenger, Red-Letter Hunter, Voodoo Descendant, Arsonist, Conspirer… Don’t be afraid anymore. This is the time for us to rise up and walk the dark path!
n..
nWe have established a stronghold in the secret area northeast of Rolling Stone Town, and we welcome every brother and sister who has been summoned to come and join us in this great event.
nWritten by Fein, Southern Shepherd of the Order of Calamity.
n..
nThe above was the content of the secret letter.
nThere were also many provocative words in the letter. The general idea was to encourage all kinds of evil adventurers to come out and cause trouble. It was as if there would be no chance if they did not cause trouble then.
nMatthew was not interested in these things.
nWhat he cared about was…
nThe person in the letter claimed to have established a stronghold north of Rolling Stone Town.
nHe was going to hold a blood sacrifice to please the Void Ruler, Yurkus.
nAnd after this blood sacrifice…
nHe would obtain supreme power and could easily flatten Rolling Stone Town. He would also attract the heavenly fire and burn everything.
n“Burn everything?”
nMatthew frowned deeply.
nThis heretic cult believer called Fein was more or less reckless.
nThe truth was clear.
n..
nBloody Robes in the Karst cave;
nSif. Suki’s Kidnapping;
nThe arrival of the arsonist;
nThe intercepted merchant;
n..
nAll of this pointed to ‘Fein’ and the Order of Calamity!
nMatthew looked at the mission panel.
nAs expected.
nAfter he finished reading the secret letter.
nThe mission changed.
n..
nFollow-up Mission 2: Maintaining is also important!
