A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 920: Margaret's Funeral

" I've read your previous report. The ashes in the Scar of the Dead will drop their life force after death. This is also worth studying. If we can include it as part of the balance and cycle, we might not only be able to control the Scar of the Dead, but we might even be able to devour it instead."

Matthew's eyes lit up.

Isabelle was indeed a brilliant teacher. Her thinking and reaction were astonishingly fast.

However, what she said…

It wasn't that Matthew hadn't considered this before.

However, he was worried that doing so might completely enrage Yurkus.

After all, many documents believed that the Scar of the Dead was a tentacle of Yurkus.

The purpose of Project Umbrella was to imprison him.

The nature of this thing was different from devouring it.

Matthew told Isabelle about his worries.

Isabelle gave a rare look of approval.

"The fact that you've thought so much shows that you've put in a lot of effort on this project.

" Yurkus is a worthy opponent, but his tentacle has been dead for many years. Theoretically, it is only left with instinctive spirituality and cannot be controlled by his true self in the Void.

" If you're worried about that, you can try to get in touch with the people from the Order of Calamity. If necessary, you can exchange some benefits with them to ensure that the people from the Order of Calamity won't cause trouble when you're carrying out Project Umbrella.

" But you have to understand that this is only a temporary measure. The disciples of the Calamity also have evil intentions. Some of them are even greedier than the gods of the Heavenly Palace. When you do these things, it's best not to appear personally. Find an irrelevant spokesperson. Then, if something happens, you can get away with it."

Matthew nodded in his heart after listening.

But very quickly.

He was suddenly a little surprised.

Isabelle's words to him today, her perspective, her way of thinking, and her methods of dealing with it…Why does she appear so much like Edmond?

Logically speaking.

Didn't his teacher betray the Alliance long ago, clamouring to kill Edmond and overthrow the Alliance of Seven Saints?

Why did she suddenly change her mind?

The things and content of the instructions were as if they were the leaders of the Alliance.

Wasn't this too different from before?

"Is it because of the massacre in Cross City?

" Or is it because Edmond has already released her from her imprisonment? She could have been happy and crazy before, but now that Edmond has gone out and it's her turn to be the one in charge, she has changed her mind?"

Matthew could not understand the game between the master and disciple, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

Not long after.

Isabelle returned the draft to Matthew.

"Hurry up and verify the feasibility.

" After the verification, apply for the project. I want to see the results before the end of this winter!

"Otherwise, I'll see you at Black Suo Mountain."

As she spoke, she looked like she was seeing the guest out.

Matthew's body tensed up, and he hurriedly left the small dark room.

It was already mid-December.

Winter in the south would last until the beginning of March.

Theoretically, there was still enough time.

However, the Scar of the Dead in Jade Court was said to be extremely vast, and it was one of the few territories in the south that was not under the control of the Seven Saint Alliance.

Even though Alan was in charge of receiving them.

However, Matthew still had to leave more buffer time for himself.

" The Scar of the Dead has different characteristics in different areas. I can't forcefully copy the experience of Rolling Stone Town to Jade Court, so the feasibility test must be carried out there as well."

Matthew thought for a while.

Then, he solemnly drafted a few documents.

One of the documents was to be submitted to the Silver Council. It was an application for the S-rank project Umbrella Project (Scar of the Dead).

As for the other two documents, one was to be handed over to the Willow Branch of Jade Court, which was in charge of diplomacy.

After Willow Branch had approved Matthew's application.

Only then could he conduct magic experiments on the land of the wood elves.

In the end.

The identity of a necromancer was still a sensitive topic for Jade Court.

The other was a letter to Winter Moon, Alan. In the letter, he expressed that she was about to visit the Wood Elves 'Kingdom and hoped that she could help build some connections so that he could obtain permission from Willow Branch as soon as possible.

Don't underestimate the paperwork.

They had spent at least half a day on Matthew.

After he finished writing, he stretched his body tiredly.

"Looks like I really have to hire an assistant for myself!

"The undead are really not as useful as the living in this aspect. Coincidentally, the S-rank project is about to be established. We can take the opportunity to recruit a few apprentices."

Then, he summoned the Tauren spirit.

He ordered the messenger to deliver the two letters from Jade Court.

After that, he only needed to wait for the response from Jade Court.

" Speaking of which, didn't Zeller mention that Jade Court sent a few Shadow Leopards to take the arsonists? Why is there no news after that?"

Matthew thought casually.

Then, he stretched and went out.

It was already winter.

There was a chill in the oak forest.

He could feel the bleak aura of everything.

However, this did not stop Matthew from pulling a few zombie farmers from the team responsible for clearing the wasteland.

"Before we head to the Emerald Jade Court, try to plant a few more trees!"

He didn't know why.

Although the weather was cold, Matthew's entire body felt warm as long as he held the shovel with both hands, as if he was filled with endless energy!

Plant trees mission.

Activate!

..

At noon the next day.

Matthew sent Lumiere, who had recovered his energy, away.

Deep Blue Port and Lion City did not have a portal.

Therefore, he sent Lumiere to a teleportation point in the wild north of Deep Blue Harbor through the Cauldron House.

This was the Seven Saint Alliance's safe house.

After leaving the safe house, Matthew sent Peggy and the Death Knight 47 to accompany Lumiere to ask for money.

At first, he had wanted to use his influence to help Lumiere resolve this matter.

But think about it carefully.

He was not only representing Rolling Stone Town but also the Alliance in a sense.

Although they had encountered the tragedy at the Wild Wolf Mountain.

Golden Lion Barton's influence in the South was still not bad.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Matthew used a roundabout method.

He didn't show up directly.

Instead, he sent two undeads to follow Lumiere.

As long as the Golden Lion King was not an idiot, he would not cause any trouble.

Lumiere did not refuse Matthew's kindness this time.

He watched as the three of them headed south towards Deep Blue Harbor.

Matthew left a spell imprint beside the safe house.

"This way, the next time I want to come to the East Coast, I can directly open the portal without spending money.

"Speaking of which, the teleportation fee of the Cauldron House is really expensive…"

However, he did not return to Rolling Stone Town directly.

Instead, he used the teleportation portal to return to the crucible house.

In the reception area on the third floor of the Mage Tower.

At this moment, a young, fair-skinned man was already waiting in the booth.

Matthew walked over.

This was the Alliance Array Master, Lele, whom he had made an appointment with.

The two of them had met once before. This person was also an array master that Margaret had strongly recommended, and he was extremely skilled in the field of arrays.

Before heading to the Jade Court.

Matthew planned to set up a super-large magic array that could block the vision of the gods, prevent prophecy spells, and cut off any means of peeping.

This kind of thing would have to be done by a professional, and it would probably cost a lot.

However, Matthew had plenty of money at the moment.

In addition to the million gold coins that Hood had given him, the reward promised by the Silver Council for resolving the incident at Cross City had also arrived.

Currently, his pockets were full. Setting up a large-scale array formation should be easy.

"Hello,"

Matthew smiled and went forward to greet him.

However, when the other party looked up, Matthew saw that the young array master's face was covered in tears.

" Margaret is dead. Have you heard?"

Lele's face was filled with sadness.

Matthew was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.

In the next second.

However, he heard the other party mutter to himself,

"A while ago, I heard that she was killing everyone in Inferno Hell. I'm happy for her from the bottom of my heart.

"But who knew that in the blink of an eye, she would die at the hands of those hateful demons!

"How unfortunate!

"Wuwuwu... I used to have a crush on her, but I was afraid that she would hit me, so I didn't dare to say it. After hearing the news of her death these few days, the more I thought about it, the sadder I became.

"Even the debt she owes me doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

" By the way, her funeral is the day after tomorrow. Did you receive an invitation to attend the funeral?"
