Chapter 247: Overseas Overlord and Two Divinities

 …

 White hair, red robe, eyes that gradually turn gray, impeccable appearance and figure...

These elements were quickly assembled in Matthew's vision like fragments.

 Follow.

 All areas are automatically dispersed.

 Where Isabel stood, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Her voice was neither gentle nor sulky.

But no one of the three people she questioned dared to answer.

Even Matthew couldn't help but swallowed.

 A strange feeling arose in his heart.

 The woman in front of me should be Isabel’s true body!

 She actually left Ekmund’s imprisonment and ran away from the floating city in the far north!

 This is of course good news for Matthew now.

 But he soon became vaguely worried about the situation of the alliance.

Ekmund once clearly told him that Isabel is an extremely unstable factor. Now that the former has taken the initiative to release the teacher, does it mean that the alliance needs an unstable factor to protect it?

 The answer is self-explanatory.

But this level of decision-making naturally has nothing to do with Matthew.

He took a deep breath and waited for Isabel's performance.

 “You don’t even speak, are you pretending to be dumb?”

 “Then I’ll visit them one by one.”

Isabel turned her face sideways and waved to Matthew calmly.

Matthew hurriedly walked over.

 A few steps later.

 He could feel as if he was stuck in a quagmire!

That moment.

 Everything around him became extremely dark, and his feet seemed to turn into an endless swamp.

 The dark block of color swallowed up everything.

 The deepest black, the coolest shadows, and the pale fragments active in the shadows constitute everything in the world in front of us.

 This is the plane of shadow!

 Matthew reacted immediately.

And it’s not a shallow area that I’ve been to several times. This is probably the core of the Shadow Plane, a forbidden place that even legendary mages would be intimidated by!

But he just walked in out of thin air, without any obstruction, without a trace of restraint, not even fear!

 “Is this the teacher’s area of ​​protection?”

Matthew could feel the protective power in his body slowly taking effect.

 In that deep darkness.

There are countless beasts and monsters lurking. They are grinding their teeth and sucking blood in a low voice. A pair of terrifying eyes are locked on Matthew's back and neck, as if they may choose someone to eat at any time.

 Such an eerie atmosphere, without Isabel's guardianship, Matthew could not imagine his embarrassment at this time.

 It can be done now.

 He listened to the roars and dissatisfaction of the shadow creatures, and there was no trace of panic in his heart. Instead, he felt that they were a bit ridiculous.

 “Is this what it feels like to be incompetent and furious...”

Matthew could vaguely sense the emotions of the beasts surrounding him.

 A few seconds later.

 Isabel, in red robe and white hair, appeared in front of him.

 The entire shadow world is dull and colorless.

 But only Isabel’s body was so brightly colored.

not only that.

She even has a special light effect on her body. Wherever she goes, the darkness will be dispelled.

“It seems that you are very adaptable to the environment here. Do you want me to take away the power of protection and experience it for yourself?”

 Isabel asked casually.

Matthew quickly shook his head and said:

 “No need, I’m afraid I can’t bear it.”

Any shadow creature in this ghost place is a quasi-legendary, and it has domain suppression. A fourth-level kid like me should not let it go.

Isabel glared at Matthew with some dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything.

 She looked back into the shadows:

“Slug, your achievements in the field are very good. The shadows here have improved a lot compared to the past few eras.”

“But the field is never the whole of strength. You have limited yourself too much. How can a completely flawless shadow appear deep and profound without a little light to set it off?”

 While speaking.

Her gray-white eyes flashed slightly.

 An ordinary mage's fire appeared beside her.

 Matthew blinked.

 He was not mistaken.

This is indeed the lowest form of cantrip: Mage's Fire.

Matthew is extremely familiar with this spell. When he was still very poor, he often used this spell instead of candles to meditate at night.

However, even the lowest level of magic is completely different when performed in the hands of a divine mage.

Matthew could clearly see that the orange light of the Mage's Fire was constantly dancing. The small flame seemed to be blown out by a gust of wind, but it forced the surrounding darkness to recede like a tide.

 In an instant.

  The mage's fire illuminated an area of ​​at least several hundred meters in radius.

 All the shadow creatures fled in panic.

 Only some white or dark outlines of buildings and natural objects are left.

 And a figure kneeling on his knees with his hands tied behind his back.

 “Laila?”

Matthew exclaimed.

Isabel walked over and glanced at the drow warrior casually:

 “Your woman?”

Matthew wanted to deny it, but he hesitated in an instant—

With Isabel's indifferent character, if she were just her friend, she would most likely die without saving her.

So he gritted his teeth:

"Yes."

Isabel gave him a joking look:

 “But you don’t have her breath on you.”

 Matthew was suddenly speechless.

"However, you are smart and know how to answer so that I can help save people."

Isabel snorted softly:

“But men should be domineering and decisive. Being good at calculation is not a bad thing, but over time, they will inevitably become petty.”

“Especially considering your origin—the profession of Necromancer naturally carries the aura of poverty, which will affect your layout and vision, so sometimes, it is best to be more decisive.”

“If you have the chance, get close to Suriel as much as possible. I don’t mind that. If you can make money from her one day, I’m even willing to give you a small reward.”

What else could Matthew say?

 Naturally, I can only nod my head in agreement.

 After saying that, Isabel came to Laila.

 She stretched out a white hand to the drow warrior:

"stand up."

There was an unmistakable quality in her voice.

Laila hesitated for a moment:

 “Madam, I carry the oath of Galan on my back...”

 Isabel said lightly:

 “An oath is something used to bind the weak.”

 “I can undo it easily, even...”

 She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Several black lights suddenly lit up on Laila's body. At that moment, the twisted shadow power in Laila's body turned into butterfly-like shadows and dissipated.

 Follow.

 A strong and pure shadow power is injected into the body of the drow warrior.

 Under the restoration of this power.

The white scars on her body all disappeared.

Laila stood up excitedly. She was helpless and touched her smooth and flawless skin. She was so surprised that she couldn't say anything.

 “You’re pretty fast, Slug.”

 Isabel chuckled lightly.

Matthew glanced at the data column.

 …

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifier: Your mentor Isabel tried to use her sublimation ability to "turn her back on the guest's main role," and Galan took the initiative to lift Laila's oath!

 Reverse the subject and object of the oath or contract: This sublimation ability will be able to reverse the subject and object of the oath or contract.

 You realize that if Galan had not broken off the oath in time, he would most likely have become Laila's servant! "

 …

 Make a dusk creature a servant of mortals?

 Is the Divine Mage really such an exaggeration?

Matthew stared at Isabel’s back with great fascination, but unfortunately from this angle he could only see her floor-length white hair.

 However, this does not affect her majesty and charm at all.

 In Matthew’s eyes.

Every white hair of hers seems to be shining with arcane brilliance!

“Your qualifications are pretty good, I’ll give you a career.”

 Isabel waved her hand.

 A scroll quickly appeared in front of her. Under her gaze, Laila took the scroll obediently, bit her thumb open with her teeth, and then pressed her thumb print on the blank space of the scroll.

“By reading this document, you will be promoted to a shadowwalker, possessing the abilities of a drow warrior and a shadow mage.”

"But you need to serve one person as the master. This is the fate of the shadow walker. That person must have mana and enough domains."

 Isabel made it so obvious.

 Laila, who is well versed in the ways of the world, will naturally not understand.

 She ducked in front of Matthew, knelt down on her knees, and began to read the documents on the scroll aloud.

Leila was chanting in a language that Matthew didn't understand, and it seemed to be related to the shadow realm.

But this does not affect Matthew's acceptance of the other party's service ceremony.

 Two minutes later.

 The scroll is automatically burned.

Under Laila's expectant gaze, Matthew also bit off his left thumb and pressed his **** fingerprint between Laila's eyebrows.

that moment.

An invisible link connects the two people.

Matthew can also feel that there is more power from the shadow realm in his body!

 …

 Requirements: The knife weapon in your hand must be edged and cannot be a short weapon or an odd-shaped weapon. "

 …

A new part-time job has appeared out of nowhere?

 Matthew glanced at Isabel curiously.

 The latter said impatiently:

 “Let’s go back and think about what abilities were given to her.”

 “Now come with me to meet the slug!”

Matthew immediately gave Laila a wink, and she left knowingly after regaining her freedom.

quickly.

Matthew felt in his heart that Laila had returned to the main material world.

 This should be the reaction of the patriarch towards his disciples.

 He quickly caught up with Isabel.

 But at this time.

 A deep voice sounded in their ears:

 “That’s enough, don’t go any further, Ms. Isabel.”

"I have released Laila and shown enough sincerity. Don't try to play with fire."

Yet Isabel was unmoved.

She seemed to think Matthew was walking slowly, so she suddenly picked up Matthew's back collar, carried him and flew forward.

in a blink.

 They came to a huge valley.

As soon as he landed, Matthew discovered that this valley was different from other places in the shadow world.

This place is also filled with only black and white.

  But the difference is.

 There seems to be a sticky brown flowing among the black here.

“This is the Valley of Noon, where the sun sets.”

Isabel introduced calmly:

 “Of course, I’m talking about the sun of the shadow world.”

Matthew asked humbly:

 “Is there also a sun in the shadow world?”

 Isabel nodded:

"Of course, the shadow world and the main material world are originally twins. In the early days of the birth of the universe, these two worlds began to compete for dominance. Whoever can win on both sides can become the real world, and the loser One will become a shadow."

“Eventually, our world stood out and became the real material world. From that moment on, the sun of the shadow world fell, and all the creatures that originally lived in this world turned into monsters that could only hide in the shadows.”

“This is why the natives of the Shadow World always harbor resentment and malice toward the creatures of the Material Plane.”

“They had the chance to live under the sun, but it’s a pity that the world is so cruel.

I don’t want to tell you pretentiously that they also have the right to survive. I just hope that you can clearly understand: if we fail in any struggle, we will be like these monsters in the shadows and can only curl up in the corner and grind our teeth and **** blood. , whispering curses. "

 Matthew nodded silently.

By this time they had reached the depths of the Noon Valley.

 The pocket-shaped valley bottom suddenly extended a dark outline.

The outline is as high as a mountain range and stretches endlessly.

It almost fills the entire bottomless Noon Valley.

 “This is where the slug is hiding.”

　　With Isabel’s sneer.

 The mage's fire suddenly exploded.

That moment.

Matthew clearly saw that the mountain-like outline was actually a huge blood-red slug!

That slug is so huge.

  Intimidating.

 “Is it big?”

 Isabel asked.

Matthew sighed:

"too big."

 “It’s different if you change the angle.”

 Isabel said lightly.

 She whispered a set of spells.     In an instant.

Matthew only felt that his body was being stretched infinitely. His whole body was like a shadow reflected on the wall. In just an instant, his head reached the sky of the shadow world!

 He looked at his and Isabel's bodies in surprise.

 The two of them seemed to have grown billions of times larger.

However, Matthew's horizons did not expand as a result.

 Looking around, he could only see darkness.

He lowered his head, and it took him a long time to find the Wushi Valley and the **** slug crawling at the bottom of the valley!

 At this time.

The slug moved a little.

Countless huge iron chains emerged from the darkness and locked it back tightly!

 “Is it still big now?”

 Isabel asked.

Matthew said thoughtfully:

 “Of course not, because now I am bigger than him.”

 Isabel asked again:

 “Would you like to bend down and touch it?”

Matthew subconsciously planned to do so.

Unexpectedly, Isabel grabbed him:

 “You really dare to touch it?”

 Matthew scratched his head:

 “I thought this was your order.”

Isabel smiled maliciously and said:

“Will you follow my orders?”

 “Aren’t you afraid that he will retaliate against you in the future?”

 “I’m not looking at you all the time.”

Matthew instantly felt the undisguised malice coming from the teacher.

 He said with a grimace:

 “I haven’t reached this level yet, right?”

“A big boss like Dusk Creation wouldn’t care about a small character like me, right?”

Isabel smiled even more ambiguously:

 “Do you think he will?”

“For hundreds of years, you are one of the few mortals who have seen his miserable appearance.”

 “If I were him, I would definitely kill you.”

 Matthew went numb instantly.

This feeling is so familiar!

　　She did a similar operation when she gave herself a patron saint!

 “I won’t give you any trouble, Matthew.”

 Gelan responded mildly:

"Actually, there are some misunderstandings between us. I just want to communicate with you on an equal and friendly basis. I noticed that you have unique insights in the field, so I want to ask for advice. I have no other intention."

 Isabel looked at Matthew:

 “Do you believe his bullshit?”

Matthew said bravely:

 “I can believe it.”

There was a smile in Gai Lan’s voice:

“I feel your kindness, Matthew. Believe me, if we cannot get along happily, at least we will not become enemies.”

 Isabel chuckled:

“Since you have such a broad mind, you might as well give something to my students.”

 The next second.

She suddenly bent down and reached for the slug's head with her huge hand.

 The latter dodged for a while, but failed.

 In an instant.

 At noon, Gai Lan's low sound of air-conditioning could be heard from deep in the valley.

Matthew only felt that his body was shrinking.

  Eventually restored to its original state.

“Here, I’ll give this to you as a slug greeting gift.”

Isabel naturally handed a touch of bright red to Matthew's hand.

 Matthew looked down.

That's a red tentacle.

The tentacles were still curling up involuntarily, and Matthew could feel a gentle and twisted force from them.

“This is Galan’s tentacle, which contains a divinity. When you are promoted to legend, this thing will be of great benefit to you.”

"Remember to integrate that ray of divinity into a certain area of ​​your life, not your body. There is a big difference. You can check the information yourself in the future."

“In short, godhead does us more harm than good, but divinity is a good thing, even if it is a mage, the more the better.”

 Isabel said happily.

　Judging from the satisfied expression on her face, the purpose of this trip should have been achieved.

 But Matthew looked a little sad while holding the antenna.

 On the data column.

 …

“Hint: You have witnessed the true form of the dusk creation “Blood Slug-Gailan”.

 Your Shadow Realm resistance +5.

 You snatched an Oathbreaker from Galan and became your disciple.

 Your Tauren element is +30, and you can explore deeper areas of the Tauren realm!

　　Warning: Gaelan’s hatred for you +10! "

 …

“Don’t be downhearted, you young people always need a little pressure, otherwise you will be satisfied with the status quo.”

Isabel said brightly:

“Besides, Gai Lan is not a good guy. He and the creatures in the shadow world will attack the main material world sooner or later. In this case, it is better to make enemies as early as possible, so that it will be easier to fight in the future, right?”

 Finish this sentence.

 She took Matthew and left the world of shadows.

 The moment the two of them left.

 An extremely angry voice sounded in the endless shadows.

 The entire shadow world has fallen into a panic like a volcanic eruption!

 …

 In the garden of Hollyoaks.

Laila was waiting respectfully beside her.

 The power of the shadow under the old locust tree has long since disappeared.

 Matthew turned around.

The little light demon holding an alarm clock is still where he is.

It's just that her face was filled with a stiff fake smile.

  As if someone had used a body-fixing technique to immobilize him.

 The realm of madness behind her has not receded.

 Isabel walked over.

　　With a gentle click, she released the binding technique on the small stream.

However, Isabel's aura is too strong.

  For a creature like the Fairy of Light, it is even more trembling.

 Just after the immobilization spell was lifted.

Matthew heard the ticking sound clearly.

 Good guy.

 It has really become a small stream.

 “I, I, I…”

 The small stream was frightened into a small stutter.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to tell me the story of Crazy Second Hand?”

Isabel said calmly:

"I am listening."

Xiao Xixi suddenly turned his eyes white, his legs twitched and he fainted.

 At this time.

The alarm clock in her hand automatically floated up, and a magnetic voice sounded:

 “Don’t embarrass her.”

 “She is just an ignorant little elf.”

Unexpectedly, Isabel showed an expression she had never seen before, and she snorted heavily:

 “It’s going to be difficult!”

 “What? Are you feeling distressed?”

Crazy Miaozhen said with emotion:

“A small creature like her is like a passing cloud to us;

 I feel sorry for this luxurious feeling, I haven’t experienced it for a long time.

 Esa, give me some face, at least we had a good time. "

 Hear this.

 Matthew couldn't help but be surprised.

 What's going on with this strong smell of gossip?

 Could it be that…

But Isabel said coldly:

“Yeah, Loa, that was true before you cheated.”

 Loa's tone was a little helpless:

"There's no way around it. I'm the crazy second hand and the **** of luck. Neither my personality nor my godhead allow me to remain loyal to one person, otherwise I'd be indifferent to others."

 “You should be able to understand me.”

Isabel sneered:

 “Of course I can understand, after all, you are just a second hand.”

Loa’s tone suddenly became urgent:

 “You can’t say such irresponsible things!”

Isabel walked forcefully to the area of ​​madness:

 “Open the door for me!”

 Loa also did not lose in terms of momentum:

 “It just won’t open!”

 “You have the ability to cut it open yourself!”

 “Or come to me in the Arcane Wilds!”

 Isabel’s tone suddenly rose a lot:

 “Are you serious?”

Crazy Miaozhen was silent for a while, and his tone began to soften:

“Well, can we all calm down? Don’t make a scene like a madman, it’s bad for our image.”

"Isa, I swear to God, I didn't want to do anything to your student at all. I just felt that he smelled familiar."

Isabel turned back to Matthew and said:

 “Remember the important point, it feels familiar—that’s how he approached me at the beginning.”

Matthew heard this and felt a chill all over his body.

no.

What is going on with these big guys?

He lowered his head and glanced at the ground. The poor little stream was still twitching on the ground.

Matthew suddenly felt that he was not much different from her!

"I don't!"

Loa argued loudly:

“If I wanted to hook up with Matthew, I would have had a way to get him to crawl into my bed as early as the Fairy Garden!”

Isabel warned Matthew seriously:

“Remember to take protective measures next time you go to the Fairy Garden.”

 “Loa’s tricks are beyond your imagination.”

“Stay away from this guy anyway, he’s a scumbag.”

Loa said angrily:

“I’m not a scumbag, I’m just out of control. Come on, I’m a creature of dusk! The madness factor in my body is worse than your Chaos Mystery Lock. You should be able to understand me!”

 Speaking.

 He couldn't help but complain to Matthew:

“Your teacher is not a good person either. Not only is she a crazy bitch, she also has a serious fetish!”

“Who else would fall in love with an alarm clock?”

Isabel’s face changed:

 “I should have torn you down in the first place, but fortunately it’s not too late now!”

 As she said that, she was about to take action.

 But Loa stopped him in time and said:

 “Wait a minute, I’ve prepared a greeting gift!”

 The next second.

The alarm clock automatically flew into Matthew's hand.

Isabel grabbed it and checked it before throwing it to Matthew with confidence.

"good."

 “The taste is very pure.”

 She commented.

Matthew could feel that this alarm clock also contained a divinity.

 As for Isabel’s evaluation.

Matthew guesses that it refers to the pure insanity factor?

 “Did you see? I am much more sincere than that guy Gai Lan!”

Loa proudly said:

“I gave Matthew a small gift before. Do you remember, you will win every three times?”

 Isabel's mood calmed down:

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ify by your knowledge.

 The two of them suddenly fell silent.

Matthew felt very awkward standing there.

He always felt like a light bulb, and the wattage was not enough, so he could be burned at any time.

after awhile.

Loa suddenly said:

 “How about we get back together?”

“Together we might be able to save the world.”

 Isabel raised her eyebrows:

 “Are you serious?”

Loa was silent for a while:

 “I just said it casually.”

Isabel warns:

 “Don’t seduce my students.”

Loa tried a sentence:

 “Then can I seduce you?”

Isabel squinted her eyes:

 “Don’t even think about it!”

“But sometimes I miss your little clockwork.”

There was a hint of embarrassment in Loa's tone:

 “What you said is too explicit, Isa, can’t you be more subtle?”

 “There are children next to me.”

 Matthew thought for a while.

  Simply gave himself a petrification spell.

 However, his move was easily countered by Isabel.

“I want to pretend to be dead before I even receive the greeting gifts. Why are I so thin-skinned?”

She couldn't help but scolded.

 Said.

She took Matthew and walked in the direction of the bear.

 The latter showed a naive smile:

 “Long time no see, Ms. Isabel.”

“Um, do you want to come in and sit down?”

 …
