I Became An Immortal On Mortal Realm

Chapter 720: Void Sermon and Loyalty Test

" There can't be too many secrets between partners. I have to do a check-up on you tonight. Make sure to prepare carefully!"

Mary Joshua pinched Matthew's waist before leaving in satisfaction.

Matthew was left standing alone on the wall.

He silently thought of a countermeasure for the night.

It was alright.

Matthew had always been quick-witted.

That night, he chose to face Mary's examination calmly. However, at the critical moment, he stammered and told her that his body had been seriously invaded by negative energy.

Some of the tissues were already necrotic and could not be used.

Naturally, Mary Joshua was unwilling.

She checked it carefully.

However, with Matthew's control of negative energy, it was not a problem to temporarily freeze the lower half of his body with negative energy.

Mary Joshua went back and forth a few times before letting Matthew leave with a disappointed expression.

On the way back to the room assigned to Matthew by the Church of Calamity.

Peggy gloated,

"Fortunately, she doesn't have any kinks. Otherwise, you might not be able to get away with it."

Matthew was also a little scared when he heard that.

It was alright.

The members of the Order of Calamity were not as insane as the mages of the Alliance.

At the very least, they had no intention of experimenting with the necrotic tissues and organs.

He thought about it.

Matthew couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Why are you walking so fast?"

Peggy was puzzled.

Matthew was silent.

It was not until he returned to his room and used his life energy to expel all the negative energy occupying his lower body that he felt the rebirth of the necrotic tissue and breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time.

A strange feeling surged out from his groin.

..

[Prompt: You have completed a critical conversion between negative energy and life energy in your body.]

Your Conversion Element +10 (Equalization Domain)

[Your negative energy transformation has produced a new effect: You can perform negative energy transformation on a part of your body or organs. As long as you remove the negative energy within three hours and replace it with life energy, the transformed organs and tissues will be as good as new. You may even receive additional improvement.]

..

"Key transformation? Does it mean the reward for taking risks?"

Matthew's eyes lit up.

The improvement of the negative energy transformation meant that his body could directly switch back and forth between the living and the undead to a greater extent.

This would not only provide him with convenience in battle.

There were also many applications in daily life.

Matthew began to think quickly.

In the next few days.

Matthew patiently circled around Mary Joshua.

After the Order of Calamity moved into the City of Cross, they had been rather restrained. Other than going door-to-door to spread the teachings of Yurkus, they did not harass or pillage the ordinary people.

This was a stark contrast to the irrational Withering Disciples.

Therefore, in many people's hearts.

The image of the Order of Calamity was relatively positive.

The number of people joining the sect was also increasing day by day.

However, in terms of professionals.

Mary was very strict.

In the past few days, other than Matthew, only a human ranger named " White Helmet " had successfully joined.

" White Helmet " was obviously just a code name.

However, the ranger was very cautious. He did not want to reveal his name, and Mary did not force him.

What was worth mentioning was…

The guy called White Helmet looked rather sloppy. His beard gave people the feeling that he was in his forties or fifties. His eyes were extremely turbid, and he was a drunkard.

As soon as he joined the Church, he asked Mary for an advance for next month's salary and drank all night.

As a result, he encountered an awkward situation similar to Matthew's in Mary Joshua's room.

Matthew secretly observed.

Not long after.

White Helmet was chased out by Mary Joshua. He looked drunk and did not understand what had happened.

However, he could smell Mary's resentment from the other side of the room.

At that moment.

Matthew, who was hiding in the dark, and the swaying White Helmet looked at each other in surprise.

Both parties had complicated emotions in their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

October 13th.

Mary Joshua suddenly summoned Matthew and the White Helmet to her side.

She informed the two of them.

Tonight, a very important batch of goods would depart from the Underground Sanctuary and be transported to a secret base built by the three major organizations.

It was the new stronghold of the Order of Calamity in Cross City.

Mary and her people did not need to be responsible for the entire process, nor did they need to send the goods to the secret base.

They only needed to escort the convoy on a specific route.

The time was set at 10 p.m.

Mary Joshua ordered the two of them to follow her.

To be honest.

Matthew felt that something was wrong when Mary Joshua was describing the mission.

If it were a secret escort mission, the Dark Temple would have been able to complete it. Why did they need the members of the Cross City Branch to interfere?

If there was a lack of manpower, why did they only need to escort them for a short distance?

Combined with Mary's nonchalant attitude.

Matthew suspected that this was a loyalty test by the Order of Calamity towards him and the White Helmet.

This was normal.

Since they could not recruit many people, all evil cults would often trick people into joining them first, then conduct loyalty tests in batches. After that, they would allocate authority and directional training according to the test results.

For this kind of loyalty test.

Matthew had his own understanding.

First of all, he definitely couldn't betray them.

Secondly, he could not show too much loyalty.

He had to show the selfishness and flexibility that a high-level evil person should have.

Otherwise, others would be suspicious.

Therefore, he had no choice.

While waiting for the mission to begin.

Matthew had already rehearsed hundreds of unexpected situations in his mind.

Night fell.

A dozen figures left the stronghold of the Order of Calamity in Cross City.

Under the leadership of Mary Joshua.

The group arrived at an underground entrance near Cross City. This underground entrance was most likely created by the Order of Calamity itself, and it was different from the one that the Druid Fox had told Matthew about.

The group of people walked into the tunnel.

They walked for about 10 minutes.

The sound of running water could be heard from the underground ahead.

It was an underground river.

Everyone lit up their torches and searched around the underground river for a while. Soon, Mary Joshua found a deer head statue that was close to the stone wall.

She waved her hand, signalling everyone to disperse, but everyone had to look at the deer head statue.

The group of people stared at it for half an hour.

Suddenly.

The stag's eyes lit up!

Its eyes emitted a greyish-white radiance.

Immediately after.

The deer's head fell from the stone wall.

A bumpy portal appeared behind the huge deer head.

Mary Joshua raised her hand.

Everyone perked up.

Immediately after.

The teleportation gate was getting bigger and bigger until it was big enough to accommodate a carriage.

Knock, knock, knock.

Following the sound of horse hooves.

One by one, a special underground carriage appeared in front of everyone.

The horse that was pulled was an underground pony that was unique to the Underdark.

They were not tall but had great endurance. They even had a slight ability to pass through walls, making them very suitable for transporting goods underground.

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

With his dark vision, he saw a rusty cage on the first carriage.

Inside the cage was a twisted monster.

Its current appearance looked a little like a fried dough twist.

" Madam Mary Joshua, your new member looks quite energetic!

"Then I'll leave the rest of the journey to you."

A familiar voice sounded.

Matthew's heart trembled.

A handsome young man walked out from behind the portal.

His gaze casually looked around until it locked onto Matthew, and then it became meaningful.
