Chapter 257 Opened up three times, the tauren territory!

 …

Matthew immediately showed a vigilant look after hearing this—

 Want to make more money from me?

 It’s enough to lock up a woman!

 You still want me to lock up two more?

At that moment he immediately refused and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I have already let that woman go, and I can't possibly pay a penny for her!"

 Alexander shrugged on the spot:

"Then I will send her away again, and this time I will change her release location. As for what will happen next, it has nothing to do with our Heisuo Mountain."

 Matthew nodded with satisfaction.

 Next, according to Melinda's standards, he also customized a prison package for Queen House at Mount Blackso.

 After checking the relevant items.

Matthew specifically warned:

 “The woman I brought this time is a psychic master, you must be careful!”

Hearing this, Alexander glanced at the woman on A Bing's shoulder in surprise:

 “Psychic?”

 “This is a bit difficult to handle.”

Matthew asked calmly:

 “How much more will it cost?”

 Alexander shook his head:

“Mr. Matthew, you misunderstood. This is not something that can be solved by adding more money.”

"Hesuoshan Prison is specially used to imprison spellcasters and magic-related monsters. As you can see, there are anti-magic force fields everywhere, but in terms of psychic targeting, frankly speaking, what we do not so good."

“I’m afraid there is only one room in the entire Heisuo Mountain Prison that can meet the needs of imprisoning psychic masters.”

 Matthew frowned.

 He originally thought Alexander wanted to raise the price on the ground.

I didn’t expect that this matter would be really difficult to handle.

Just listen to Alexander’s wishes.

It was difficult but not impossible, so Matthew still said calmly:

“You continue, is there anything to say about that room?”

 Alexander spread his hands:

 “That was Hera’s chamber.”

 Hera?

Matthew's mind immediately conjured up the image of a construct that resembled a golden retriever.

The legendary construct who claimed to be his senior gave Matthew an extremely dangerous feeling.

 “Can she suppress a psychic master?”

 Matthew asked for details.

 Alexander nodded:

"I wanted to explain the mystery to you, but Hera has already come over, so it is better to let her talk to you herself."

 While speaking.

The small window of the ventilation duct next to the office was suddenly poked open from the inside!

 Follow.

 A mass of mercury-like object emerged from it.

 Under Matthew’s surprised gaze.

The ball of mercury quickly formed the image of a woman.

 In the blink of an eye.

There is a mercury woman with **** **** in the office.

 Her appearance has all the characteristics of a construct, but it is really very similar to humans.

 It’s strange.

This scene did not trigger the uncanny valley effect.

Matthew did not feel that the woman in front of him was scary. Instead, she gave him a sense of elegance and tranquility.

 “Hera?”

There was a hint of surprise in Matthew's voice.

 “That one wasn’t your real person last time?”

 He also reacted now.

 On the data column.

 …

“Hint: You encountered the legendary construct Hera.

 Knowledge (Astral Plane): You discover that Hera's body is made of liquid silver, which is known as an astral treasure.

 Liquid silver is an extremely rare magical material with incredible ductility and plasticity.

 A piece of liquid silver the size of a baby's fist was once auctioned for the price of a city-state in the history of the Alliance.

 Hera’s body is entirely made of liquid silver!

 You realize how expensive Hera is! "

 …

 “More expensive than a Margaret!”

Matthew's reaction was quite sharp, so his expression when he looked at Hera was suddenly full of respect.

 That’s a nod to money.

 “We meet again, my dear little brother.”

Hera smiled softly:

“Don’t be surprised by my changeability, this is just another small hobby besides my love of arguing.”

"After all, as the most perfect construct in the world, you can't ask me to travel in this world in only one form."

"I said when we last met that my life form has surpassed most of the creatures in this world in terms of level, and of course the same is true in terms of material form. In the entire Iron Dor, perhaps there is only one trapped person. The Thousand Changer Lords in Eversong Forest can rival me in terms of change.”

Hera’s tone of voice today was a little different from last time.

Matthew looked at her flawless body and his expression changed subtly.

At this moment, he also noticed with his peripheral vision.

From the moment Hera appeared, warden Alexander moved his eyes to the side, not daring to look at Hera at all!

 “It’s all bragging, could you please stop climbing into my ventilation duct next time?”

Alexander tilted his head and coughed:

“Also, even if you want to become a woman, can you change your image?”

Matthew couldn’t help but tilt his head.

 What Alexander said makes sense.

The human form transformed by Hera has mercury-like skin, but its appearance is 80% to 90% similar to that of Isabel.

 It is normal for Alexander not to dare to look.

“I recently heard a legend among the prisoners at Mount Blackso—every night, the ventilation ducts near the warden’s office would make a clanking sound, as if there were humanoid creatures crawling clumsily.”

 Hera turned and looked at Alexander:

“Shortly after this legend spread, a riot broke out in Hot Spring Prison. Don’t tell me that the person climbing the ventilation duct in the middle of the night was a prostitute you hired temporarily—if that was the case, everyone would be happy.”

 Seeing that Hera suddenly became angry.

 Alexander’s expression was a little ugly:

 “This is not your jurisdiction, Hera.”

 “The matters in Hot Spring Prison are under my control.”

Hera nodded slightly:

 “It’s best that it is so.”

“Because of the incident at Hot Spring Prison, when Watcher Highlands needed support, you only sent three kittens to die. I’m afraid the Silver Council will also hold you accountable for this matter.”

 Alexander frowned:

"When did the Cross City matter become related to you?"

Hera said calmly:

“We have all heard the news about the witch of the Dragon Worship Cult going on a killing spree in Cross City. Since the matter in Cross City is related to her, then this matter is also related to me.”

“Although that crazy woman is always self-righteous and forces me to call her mother every day, which is why I left the Far North Floating City, I don’t like anyone secretly holding her back.”

“It is indeed difficult to distinguish between right and wrong in matters involving Ekmund and her, but I have always been accommodating my relatives, and you should understand me.”

 Alexander raised his hands:

“I will write reports about the Hot Spring Prison to the Silver Council and the Far North Floating City respectively. I swear that Mr. Ekmund did not instruct me to do anything that would hinder the Alliance, and I have no such intention.”

"Speaking of which, aren't you here for Matthew? Why did you suddenly open the tribunal? If you really want to judge me, I am willing to accept your accusation in the Hall of Truth."

 He looked helpless and a little joking.

 But Matthew noticed that Alexander seemed to be really angry.

This conversation is over.

Matthew has a new understanding of the power structure of the Black Solo Prison. The warden is the highest power holder on the surface, but it seems that Hera also has a very high status in this prison.

He remembered that the three people in the evaporation team immediately behaved like little sheep when they heard Hera's name.

It can be seen from this.

 Inside the prison, Hera's prestige may still be higher than Alexander's.

 “This may also involve the dispute between Isabel and Eckmund.”

Matthew sighed secretly.

The relationship between these two people is really complicated. They are both master and apprentice, prisoner and guard, and they are also the leaders of two factions within the alliance.

 Although there is open and covert fighting, there is also a lot of cooperation.

 A little shrimp like Matthew.

 It is better to stay away from this kind of disturbance as much as possible.

 But he also knew it in his heart.

Hera chose to suddenly question Alexander in her presence, which was actually sending a signal to herself.

Matthew could only turn his face away and pretended not to hear anything.

"Of course I'm here for Matthew, huh? You have a new woman?"

 Hera looked at Matthew.

Matthew hurriedly told the purpose of his visit. Considering Hera's position, he also told the story of his encounter in Cross City and the background of Queen House.

 After listening.

Hera's eyes showed a trace of interest:

 “Queen of the Giza people? Interesting.”

“Well, let me share the divinity in you, and I can brainwash this woman into being your slave.”

 Matthew's inner alarm bells rang.

 He said nothing about divinity, but it was perceived by Hera.

But at least it was given by Isabel.

Hera shouldn’t be willing to rob openly, right?

With this thought in mind, Matthew smiled gently:

“I don’t need to brainwash her, I just need to give her some color.”

Hera asked rhetorically:

"what colour?"

 “Yellow or green?”

 Matthew was suddenly speechless.

 He thought for a while and said seriously:

“I just want to know what the Whale Hunters want to do, and what’s going on with the starship they’re chasing?”

Hera said without hesitation:

 “A piece of divinity, I will dig it out for you whatever you want to know.”

Matthew said carefully:

“I’m afraid it’s not convenient for me to give the things the teacher gave me to others.”

Hera smiled and said:

“Is my change not similar enough? I can become more realistic.”

 “Then if you give your divinity to me, it will be returned to its original owner!”

Matthew could only shake his head and smile bitterly:

“If Mount Blackso cannot provide the service to imprison Queen House, then I will have to find another way.”

 Hera suddenly looked unhappy.

  After a while.

She showed an unhappy look:

"Well, as long as you do one thing for me, I will help you get rid of the House Queen."

Matthew nodded and asked:

"whats the matter?"

 Hera said:

“Next time you see that crazy woman, just tell me a sentence. Remember, you can’t get a single word wrong!”

 “That sentence is—[I want it too!]”

 Is this asking for divinity from Isabel?

Matthew said doubtfully:

 “Why don’t you ask yourself?”

Hera glared at him:

 “Like to be nosy?”

 Matthew suddenly shook his head.

 He thought for a while and concluded that it wouldn’t be a big problem to paraphrase a sentence, so he agreed.

So far.

 He asked the soldiers to hand over Queen House to Hera.

The latter casually lifted the unconscious House, looked up and down, and showed a satisfied expression:

“Give me a week and I’ll have the answer to everything you want to know.”

Matthew felt reassured:

 “Is one week enough?”

Hera smiled slightly:

"Theoretically, it only takes an hour. I plan to play with her for the rest of the time. After all, she is a queen. Why, do you want to participate too?"

“What I like to play is the plot genre. If you also participate, I can arrange an identity for you as a mistress.”

Ma Modi quickly clasped his hands together:

 “Farewell.”

 When leaving the warden's office.

 There was a friendly reminder from Alexander behind him:

 “Be careful the Giza people go crazy!”

Matthew originally planned to thank him later.

　　But I saw an extremely exaggerated scene——

 It's in the warden's office.

Hera seemed to have used some method to wake up Queen House.

 Just after the latter wakes up.

Hera kept hypnotizing her:

 “You are Matthew’s slave girl!”

 “You are Matthew’s slave girl!”

I don’t know what method Hera used, but I saw that Queen House’s eyes turned white and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

 Just half a minute later.

Queen House murmured to herself:

 “I am Matthew’s slave girl!”

 Hera showed a satisfied expression when she saw this.

 The next second.

 In Alexander's surprised and Matthew's dumbfounded eyes.

 The liquid silver in Hera's body suddenly reorganized.

 Follow.

 She turned into an extremely handsome man!

 “I am Matthew.”

 She said to Queen House.

 Then she lifted Queen House's chin with one hand.

 The latter suddenly showed a hint of shyness, and two red clouds flashed on his cheeks.

 In spite of Queen House's struggles.

 Hera kissed her gently. “If you two are still watching, do you want to join the plot?”

 Hera's voice echoed in the room.

 The next second.

 The door to the warden's office was closed tightly.

 Alexander himself also appeared at the door in a state of embarrassment.

 He and Matthew looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

 Alexander smiled nonchalantly:

“You’re leaving now? Do you want to stay for a cup of tea?”

Matthew made excuses without sincerity:

“No, the yin energy in your Heisuo Mountain is too strong. I really can’t stay too long. See you next time!”

 As he said that, he took A Bing and walked outside.

 …

 After ending the Queen of House episode.

 Matthew left Mount Hesso and returned to Cross City to continue presiding over the disaster relief work.

 He actually doesn’t have much to do.

The real dirty work was handed over to the apprentices from the major magic academies in the south who were transported in the first two batches of disaster relief ships.

 After all, anyone can use the House Repair Scroll.

 And Matthew is mainly responsible for showing his face.

 He stood there with his handsome and upright face.

 It will give the victims of Cross City a sense of safety.

What’s more, many people had witnessed Matthew’s battle in Cross City before.

 The two great druids said a lot of good things for Matthew when they clarified the Earth Spirit incident.

 Hence the cross city.

 The tree-planting mage's reputation has grown rapidly.

 It only took most of the day.

Matthew’s legend in Watcher’s Heights has actually increased!

 This shows the importance of publicity.

 Because Isabel has completely cut off or shocked the source of the disaster, the disaster relief went smoothly.

However, the Alliance's deployment of a large number of manpower to support Watcher Highlands still posed hidden dangers.

 That night.

Matthew heard that there was a big problem on the battlefields of the Three Hetan Towns and Lion City!

In that battle that attracted much attention in the south.

Golden Lion Barton was originally making great progress.

 But at the critical moment.

The people in the three towns of Hetan actually arranged a forbidden magic circle and summoned a demon monarch from nowhere in the bottomless abyss!

 This is of course not allowed by the alliance rules.

 The problem is.

 Most of the mages were drawn to Cross City.

The remaining people were unable to prevent the forbidden magic circle from opening, let alone the demon monarch from going on a killing spree.

 It is said that in as little as 20 minutes.

 Nearly all the soldiers from both sides who participated in this battle were eaten by the demon monarch!

　　Including the mages responsible for judging this battle, there were also small casualties.

The lord of the Lion City, the Golden Lion Barton himself, is also unknown about his life or death.

 Period.

 The whole South was in an uproar.

 While the people on the east coast were frightened by the power and cruelty of the demon lord, they were inevitably worried about the future of the alliance.

 Due to the limited number of legendary mages.

The Silver Council had to transfer the legendary mage who was originally hunting the Blighted to the scene of the battle at Wild Wolf Mountain.

 Ending late at night.

Matthew did not get the news whether the legendary mage killed the demon monarch.

 The mage apprentices are naturally panic-stricken.

 Many people are discussing this matter privately.

Even the efficiency of disaster relief has been significantly affected.

 There was nothing Matthew could do about it.

 The Demon Lord is very powerful, and even ordinary legendary mages may not be able to handle it.

 Isabel disappeared after solving the crisis in Cross City, and Suriel, Ronan, Ekmund and others were busy in the star realm again.

  Chen and other top legends are probably also involved in other things.

 That's why such a divisive situation broke out.

 At the end of the day.

 The strength of the alliance is still a bit too weak.

 Throughout the night.

 While Matthew was keeping an eye on the disaster relief situation in Cross City, he learned about the situation on the Wild Wolf Mountain battlefield through the prophecy spell Hibbert temporarily learned.

finally.

 At the break of dawn.

The legendary mage nicknamed the Shield of Gemstone Mountain finally killed the demon monarch on the Wild Wolf Mountain battlefield.

 As soon as the news came out.

The mages inside and outside Cross City finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let Lord Randolph, who is good at protection spells, hunt down the Demon Lord, which is indeed a embarrassment to him.”

Winter Moon saw the legendary mage in the picture using two domain spells, defensive counterattack and damage rebound, to grind the demon monarch to death, and couldn't help but sigh like this:

"For the current strength of the Alliance, the continent of Irondor is still too vast. We are guarding a treasure mountain that is difficult to support. However, due to the glory left by the Scourge Mage, it is impossible to cede this treasure mountain, especially At this moment, every legendary mage is working very hard."

“Sometimes when I think about it, the time before becoming a legend may be the happiest time.”

  Matthew partly agrees with her point of view.

 The top mage in the alliance is indeed a bit too busy.

 But this is not the reason for them to stand still.

“What’s the current situation in Jade Cangting? I mean the Traces of the Dead.”

 Since the overall situation has been decided.

Matthew then changed the subject.

"It's terrible. It's even worse than Watcher's Heights. The Jade Cangting was originally the place most seriously affected by the Warlock incident. The power of the Mark of the Dead is spreading, and the curse of the ancient green dragon is still going on. What's more, the lost The problems left over from the Heart's history are still plaguing the residents of this Jade Cangting."

Ai Lan said worriedly:

“I even suspect that even if I become a legend, I will not be able to solve the many problems that plague Jade Cangting.”

“To put it bluntly, the Immortals’ ability to make trouble is much better than that of humans, so that the Jade Cangting is now in a mess from the inside out. I suspect that the long life span is simply the curse of fate for the elves.”

Hood next to her looked at her askance:

 “Please give me some of this curse.”

The other three couldn't help laughing.

 In this disaster in Cross City.

 Matthew and the other three people have also formed an initial friendship.

 In addition to the time agreed with Hood to go to Rolling Stone to extend his life.

Matthew also made an appointment with Hibbert to go to the Far North Floating City to experience the life of a palace mage.

certainly.

 He and Ai Lan also made an imminent agreement.

 Because the phenomenon of traces of the dead in Jade Cangting is too serious.

Matthew decided to wait until the incident in Cross City was over.

 At most half a month.

He then went to Jade Cangting to completely solve the stubborn problem of the Mark of the Dead.

This means that Matthew is about to officially start the S-class project.

 He felt somewhat uneasy and frightened in his heart.

 But more of it is excitement and excitement.

This is not because you can blatantly make more money.

But solving the problem of the Mark of the Dead has always been the main task of Matthew's garbled system.

 At first, we only solved the problem of the westward expansion of the Traces of the Dead.

 He obtained a demigod person.

If the effect of the Mark of the Dead can be completely offset.

 Wouldn’t it be better to take off directly?

 Period.

 Matthew was full of thoughts.

 …

a.

 The disaster relief work in Cross City has come to an end.

 In fact, the frontline work was completed in the first three days.

Matthew stayed in Cross City mainly to communicate with the Druid Order, and to see if any fish that slipped through the net would cause trouble.

However, Cross City was very quiet in the next few days.

The entire south’s attention also shifted from Watcher’s Heights to the Wild Wolf Mountain battlefield.

The reason is that the legendary mage from the Shield of Gemstone Mountain killed the demon monarch.

 But the latter opened a crack leading to the abyss when he was dying.

 A large number of demons poured into Wild Wolf Mountain from it.

In addition, the life and death of Barton, the lord of Lion City who has attracted much attention, is unknown.

 The entire East Coast suddenly became the focus of everyone in the South.

 With the efforts of the druids and remaining mages.

 Cross City gradually returned to calm.

Matthew also officially ended his mission a week later.

 Open the portal.

 Return to Rolling Stone Town.

 This series of operations made Matthew feel convenient and comfortable.

“After you have teleportation, you can go wherever you want. This is the real mage!”

 He returned to the town and said hello to Rhaegar and others.

Rolling Stone is generally peaceful.

Rhaegar's annexation of High Leaf Collar and part of the Golden Fertile Fields also seemed uneventful.

  seems unaffected by the unrest in the south.

So Matthew was relieved.

He returned to his territory and walked around half a circle, teasing the shy Pegasus, looking at Renesmee who was torturing the aloof zombie, staring at the arsonists who were still working overtime, and talking to the frowning Richard, who taught the Changer Chouka the ways of the rogue, said hello...

 After going through this entire process.

 He then calmly returned to the simple workshop in the cemetery.

 Matthew sat on the ground.

 At this moment.

 His heart was at peace.

 The door to the realm opened from his chest.

A unique force called the Minotaur surged into his limbs, and finally gathered at Matthew's heart.

 …

“Hint: You have chosen to explore deeper into the tauren realm!

 As a pioneer in the field, we are about to further develop the tauren field!

 The Tauren elements you have currently accumulated are enough to obtain three development opportunities. Please choose the direction of development—

-

 Horizontal development

-

　Vertical development

 …

Matthew is already familiar with this.

 His positioning on the tauren field is very clear, and he takes a small but refined route.

 Instead of hoping to get involved in more areas.

  Why not just aim in one direction and go in deeply!

 He chose to open up vertically.

 Because the same element cannot be opened continuously.

 So the development elements chosen by Matthew this time are "plunder (face to face, "tauren (race and "incite rebellion (undead!

 …

“Tip: If you successfully open up the field in depth, you will have gone further on the path of the tauren!

Founder: Since you are the founder of the tauren realm, you will receive an additional exploration number bonus. Currently, you are equivalent to the "ruler" in the tauren realm (8 to 11 explorations)

 Based on the development elements you choose, you gain the following three abilities—

1. All strikes (you can order a group of enemy undead to give up obeying the orders of the enemy units in a short period of time. During this period, you can carry out small-scale rebellion against the struck units. At this time, the success rate of rebellion will increase. higher)

  2. Ancestor Sacrifice: You can use tombstones and a sacrificial ceremony to commemorate the tauren ancestors of the Zhan Kuang clan who have disappeared in the long river of history.

  In return.

 The ancestral spirits of the Zhan Kuang clan will favor you.

 You can apply it to your body at specific times, or to someone else.

 Note: This ability requires the prerequisite field "Grave Field"

  3. Lend me some for fun! (When you and a target are holding the same type of weapon and the distance is within 30 meters, you can forcibly replace the weapons in your and the opponent's hands

 …

interesting.

  Matthew's eyes shifted from the data column.

 The three newly acquired abilities to open up the tauren realm are quite useful.

 The "general strike" is obviously an extension of the elements of instigating rebellion.

This thing is simply a peer nemesis when combined with instigating rebellion.

  Matthew feels that he is a bit like a civil war king.

 "Ancestor Sacrifice" is also very practical.

Matthew has no shortage of tombstones.

 At the same time, he meets the prerequisites of the grave realm, which is somewhat harsh for ordinary people.

 He studied it.

Discovering this ability is equivalent to enshrining the tauren ancestors of the Zhan Kuang clan in one's own tombstone.

 You can ask them to come forward at critical moments.

 Although it is not possible to invite legendary level tauren spirits every time.

 But Matthew has personally experienced the ability of ancestor souls to improve the physical body and melee combat.

 Honestly.

 He is even a little obsessed with that feeling!

 As for the last "Lend it to me for fun!".

 This ability is a bit too outrageous.

 “Same type of weapon?”

“Does that mean that as long as I prepare all the weapons and take out any weapons when I encounter the enemy, I will have a chance to plunder other people’s good things?”

　　thinking so.

Matthew’s eyes began to wander around the cemetery.

 …
