Chapter 275 Origin of the legend: Father Matthew!

 …

Matthew read the description of the Fist of Chilling in detail and discovered that this thing not only has a range attack, but also has a spell correction effect.

 That is to say.

As long as Matthew's fist hits any place within a space of thirty centimeters from the target unit's body.

 The effect of reducing intelligence will have a chance to be triggered.

 The effect of spell correction ensures that there will basically be no spell deviation.

This also greatly improves the success rate of fists.

“Even if you don’t hit the enemy, it’s a good control skill to use a feint shot.”

“It’s just a pity that it can’t be used together with the Pale Hand. I am a mage after all, and melee combat is not my specialty, so there are still some limitations...”

Matthew silently pondered the position of the Fist of Jiangzhi in his mind.

 This ability can be used offensively or defensively.

 But considering your own style, it should be more appropriate to use it for defense.

 In addition to the Fist of Jiangzhi.

 The Hand of Balance itself has also been greatly improved. The instant death judgment of the Pale Hand has been slightly improved, while the base damage caused has been greatly increased.

In this way, when Matthew uses Pale Hand, he does not have to rush for immediate death. The damage of this ability itself is very powerful.

 The effectiveness of Healing Hands has also been improved.

  Previously, Matthew could only treat minor injuries. After the upgrade, he can now continuously output an effect that is roughly equivalent to treating moderate injuries or even serious injuries.

 It can even repair hidden injuries, relieve organ damage, and treat subcutaneous bleeding and minor fractures.

Thus.

As long as he accumulates enough life energy, he can even serve as the main wet nurse in a battle!

“Necromancers are good at healing, which makes perfect sense.”

Matthew put away his increasingly strong right hand with satisfaction.

 The biggest beneficiary of the writing of domain contracts is the balanced domain.

 Matthew noticed.

 I can say that I have made rapid progress in the field of equilibrium.

 The level of exploration has been directly raised to the level of a veteran.

  But in this process.

 He did not gain additional domain abilities.

 Except for the heart of the realm.

 Another reason is that he found that a power was brewing in his balanced field!

 This discovery made Matthew extremely looking forward to it.

To know.

  Within the scope of the domain’s influence, authority is something more powerful than ability!

special.

 After gaining power, it will be difficult for competitors in the same field to threaten themselves.

"I hope that the realm of balance will give birth to a powerful authority. In this case, I will have the opportunity to further expand the legendary way and try to balance other realms besides life and death..."

Matthew secretly longed for it.

all in all.

Hassmann’s arrival has filled in the last piece of the balanced puzzle for Matthew.

Next, he only needs to use the three major ceremonial grounds on his own territory and work hard to carry it forward, and there is almost a 95% probability of surviving the storm stage.

 Becoming a legend is a sure thing!

　　When I think about it like this.

Matthew suddenly sensed that an ancient tree house was rising from the ground in the direction approaching the World Tree.

 It is different from the original tree house in the forest.

The surface of the ancient tree house is closer to dark yellow, which is the color of the earth.

 After the formation of the ancient tree house.

A strong and powerful man walked out of it. He only covered his waist with a leaf skirt, and the rest of his body was completely naked. His muscles were shiny and protruding one after another. His ferocious eyes gave people a very untouchable look. Feel.

 “Children of the forest!”

 “Yggdrasil actually summoned such a noble existence!”

Members of the nearby centaur tribe couldn't help but exclaimed in exclamation.

The son of the forest strode up to Matthew, then knelt down on one knee, his forehead pressed to the ground, and murmured in his mouth.

 But Matthew didn’t understand it at all.

He looked at the opponent's appearance. In addition to the devil's muscular body, Matthew found that the son of the forest had three blow darts hanging on his waist and two short spears hanging on the back of his thighs.

 The appearance of the Children of the Forest reminded Matthew of Lumière and the Rainforest Tribe.

 The temperaments of both parties seem to be exactly the same.

 …

 Hint: You successfully recruited the Son of the Forest "Eugene" (lv20/elite/professional mentor)!

 Eugene expresses his loyalty and desire to you!

 He will swear to protect this forest with his life in return for your kindness in sharing this place with him as a place to live!

 Eugene signed a homeland contract with the Sanctuary of Life.

Homeland Contract: This land was recognized by Eugene, the son of the forest, and became the hometown of the son of the forest.

From this moment on, your Sanctuary of Life automatically gains the ability to switch classes to ranger and druid.

 When a rogue who has gained a friendly reputation in the Sanctuary of Life, met a certain level of contribution, and has a level of no less than level four enters the woods.

 He will have the opportunity to complete the tasks given by Eugene, the Son of the Forest, and then change his profession to a ranger or a druid! "

 …

 The first son of the forest recruited is a professional mentor?

In the future, Sanctuary of Life hopes to mass-produce druids and rangers?

Matthew’s eyes lit up.

 Eugene is a very neat person.

 He seems to dislike being watched.

So after a brief report to Matthew, he retreated into the woods very politely and disappeared in an instant.

 But Matthew could sense Eugene's movement in the forest.

 “He actually mastered the tree leaping technique!”

 “So fast... He seemed to be checking the condition of every oak tree.”

 Matthew noticed.

 Children of the forest seem to have more powerful talents and abilities than centaurs in guarding the woods.

Among the onlookers who heard the news, a centaur tried to follow the movement of the Son of the Forest, but was quickly thrown away by Eugene.

 “This guy is a real forest assassin!”

Matthew secretly admired it.

There is no doubt that if more children of the forest join their own woods, the safety factor of the oak forest will be greatly improved.

At that time, the dryads and war guards will be responsible for taking damage in the front row; the centaur archers and tree shepherds will provide long-range damage support; and the children of the forest will transform into devil assassins who will make the enemies fearful.

 As Oak Forest's military system becomes increasingly complete.

Matthew’s sense of security is also growing day by day.

 He even began to have a sudden thought:

“If there were a fight between Oak Grove and Deathdread Cemetery, who would win?”

 But Matthew soon shook his head.

The current Sanctuary of Life is still too far from the Cemetery of Fear of Death.

 Don’t say anything else.

 One Philoleus and one Peggy are enough to sweep through the Sanctuary of Life.

“The cemetery is indeed faster than the forest in the early stage, but with the continuous exploration of the potential of the World Tree, and with the blessing of the Heart of the World Tree, there is no chance of catching up..."

 Matthew thought secretly.

 From beginning to end, he has been practicing his own way of balance.

 The reason why the Heart of the Domain is handed over to the Sanctuary of Life is also based on this consideration.

 At present.

 The two major ceremony venues will form a good trend of going hand in hand.

 This is the scene Matthew is most happy to see.

 “Lord Matthew…”

After the Son of the Forest left, Obest came over with several strong centaurs to greet him.

Matthew exchanged a few words with them. From their puzzled eyes, Matthew knew that they were uneasy because of the changes in the World Tree.

 So he informed Obest of the existence of the Heart of the World Tree.

 And asked the centaur tree herder to try his best to cooperate with the actions of the heart of the world tree.

Obest came to a sudden realization after hearing this, and vowed that he and the Centaur tribe would perfectly implement the instructions of the Heart of the World Tree.

 Then there was an embarrassed expression on his face again.

Matthew now knows Obest quite well.

He knew very well that the proud centaur was very repulsive to those who asked for help in a humble manner, but no matter how the situation was better than others, he always seemed to be in a situation where he needed help from Matthew.

 It took several twists and turns.

Obest’s arrogant character has been completely polished off.

 But the embarrassed expression when asking for help was still exactly the same as at the beginning.

Matthew saw Obest's embarrassment and planned to take the initiative to ask about his difficulties.

But just at this time.

 A lively and cute little light demon jumped out from behind Obest.

 She greeted Matthew generously:

“Hello, Lord Matthew, I am Little Pineapple, Obest’s closest friend!”

“Our clan still has many companions who are suffering in the sea of ​​trees, so Obest asked me to ask you for help. Can you bring more compatriots to this forest?”

“And there’s more! The centaur tribe doesn’t carry much food anymore. They’ve been starving every day recently. Obest hopes to help them with some food. As long as we get through this winter, we can find a way on our own!”

 Little Pineapple has just finished speaking.

Obest scolded him with a red face:

"what are you saying?"

“We have already caused so much trouble to Lord Matthew, why do we have the nerve to continue to make demands?!”

 “We will solve the food problem ourselves…”

　　That's what it said.

But his eyes did keep looking at Matthew's expression uneasily.

Matthew was both laughing and crying.

Although Obest is awkward, he is indeed a guy with no bad intentions.

He was probably really worried about causing trouble to Matthew, so he didn't even say anything when there was insufficient food in the tribe.

Matthew immediately asked:

 “How many days of food rations does your tribe have left?”

Little Pineapple answered quickly:

 “I finished it half a month ago!”

Matthew looked at the centaur in surprise:

 “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Obest’s face was filled with shame:

“It’s a great kindness that you provide us with a place to live. It’s our own problem to find food.”

 “Also, and our demand for food is not that high, centaurs are a race that is very resistant to hunger!”

 When it comes to the last sentence.

 He couldn't help but puff out his chest.

Matthew asked with great interest:

 “How hungry are you?!”

Obest hasn’t spoken yet.

The young men behind him already rushed to answer:

“Master Matthew, I can go hungry for nine meals in three days!”

"What do you mean? As long as there is dew, I can starve for twenty meals in six days!"

“I haven’t eaten for ten days, but I can still correct you with a clear mind. Based on three meals a day, six days is actually twenty-one meals. You must have eaten one secretly..."

 Looking at the proud, clear and hungry eyes of several centaur youths.

Matthew hurriedly asked someone to borrow some food from Rhaegar.

 Make sure these centaurs can eat for the time being.

He asked Obest with some surprise:

“So you centaurs starve when you can’t find food?”

Obest nodded proudly:

“This is a very practical racial talent, and it is also an important reason why centaurs have not become extinct.”

"As we all know, we play the roles of protectors and predators in the forest. Our mission is to protect the forest and repel all evil forces. Occasionally, we will kill some predators in the forest and make them our food. .”

“We are not picky. We eat the berries from the bushes, the dew on the leaves in the morning, and even some non-thorny thorns.”

“But there is currently a shortage of these things in your woods, and we can’t find any large prey, so we can only starve..."

 Matthew nodded slightly.

From Obest's narrative, he roughly understood the predicament the Centaur tribe was currently facing.

  Centaurs are a race that does not know how to farm at all.

 They are a half-hunting and half-scavenger force.

  If they couldn't hunt or find enough berries to fill their stomachs, they had no food source at all!

 Matthew looked Obest up and down.

 Soon he realized that it wasn't entirely the centaur's fault that he couldn't farm.

 Their body structure is completely unsuitable for farming!

“In the long run, your tribe’s food pressure is indeed not small.”

Matthew pondered:

"As the owner of the forest, I can buy some of the food for you. However, due to the war in the south this year, food prices have generally risen. In addition, there are more of you coming, so buying food in the long term is definitely not a good idea."

 “Speaking of which, do you know how to have a “harvest feast”? "

  Harvest Feast is a ritual spell.

The druids of the Earth Society are very good at this. This spell can quickly mature crops on a large scale to ensure the stability of the food supply in the region.

Of course, this spell also has side effects and is not suitable for long-term use on a piece of land.

Obest shook his head when he heard this:

"I don't know how. Tree shepherds don't have the ability to produce food, but we elders should know this spell."

“But the problem is, I remember that the Harvest Feast spell requires very stringent prerequisites. It can only work after a large area of ​​farmland has been reclaimed, the soil has been plowed, and crops have been sown and sprouted.”

“Where can we find a large area of ​​farmland with a certain prototype?”

Matthew thought for a while:

"Farming is not a problem. As long as you can provide the ritual spell of Harvest Feast, I can help you open up a sufficient number of fields in the northern part of the forest and let people be responsible for cultivating and sowing."

 Obest immediately shook his head:

“But this requires hiring a lot of human farmers, right? We have already spent a lot of your money, and we can’t let you spend any more.”

Matthew smiled:

“It’s not too expensive, it’s just a little experiment for me.”

“As for the manpower for farming, you don’t have to worry about it. There are many such talents in my cemetery.”

 Said.

 In Obest's surprised eyes.

 Matthew recruited Mussage, the mother of coolies.

When the latter heard Matthew’s narration, he immediately beat his chest loudly:

"Farming? No problem at all!" "As long as the climate is suitable, I can grow as much food as you want. You can just build warehouses. I can fill up as many warehouses as there are before next winter." !”

"And we undead don't like to eat this. We grow this stuff purely because of our hobby. You can even customize the shape of the grain. Do you need heart-shaped rice? Or glowing wheat? Or even barley that will be poisoned by eating it. , I also have planting experience!”

 Miaosakhi, the mother of coolies, had eyes shining.

Matthew quickly stopped:

"Just normal food will be fine. Plant some barley, wheat, and rice. It's winter now. I plan to use magic to ripen the food. It doesn't need to be a large area, just enough to eat."

Miao Saqi suddenly showed a look of regret:

 “Is there really no need to eat barley that can cause corpse poisoning?”

 Matthew decisively refused.

At the moment, he discussed the scale and location of the planting with Obest and Miaosaqi.

 The end.

Matthew specifically asked one more question:

“The zombie who behaved a little abnormally before, how is he doing now?”

Miaosakhi immediately replied:

 “He’s perfectly normal now!”

"Under my training, he has successfully mastered all the skills required by a coolie, and he has also shown strong potential in being submissive. No matter how many times I whipped him, he never resisted. There are signs, even to a certain extent, of joy.”

“Based on my experience, this indicates that this zombie was a guy with unique XP when he was alive...”

 Have you been tamed into a qualified coolie so quickly?

Matthew thought for a while:

 “Assign him to me to farm.”

 “Continue to observe more, I always feel that this kid is not that simple.”

 …

 One day later.

  Confirming that Hasman's clone has adapted to the cemetery environment, Matthew invited everyone to his workshop, and then decisively started this unrestrained reincarnation plan.

 In a simple stone house.

 Matthew was lying on a bed a little nervously.

There is a bed displayed side by side, and on the bed is Margaret's mutilated body.

 The two of them were very close to each other.

Matthew could almost smell the corpse.

That's not the smell of a rotting corpse.

 But the smell of money rotting!

 His eyes looked around.

Red-robed priest Carmela stood quietly on his left side. Her eyes were quiet and pure, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

 The doppelgangers of Dudley and Hussman stand to the right of Margaret's body.

 The former smiled at Matthew and signaled him not to be nervous.

 The latter wore a small mask on his face and seemed not as shy as he was at first.

And Suriel stood coldly in the corner of the room.

Her temperament is completely different from her usual soft and gentle temperament.

obviously.

 She also attaches extraordinary importance to this reincarnation plan.

 “Relax, it will come out easily.”

 The first one to take action was Carmela.

 She stretched out her cold little hand and gently placed it on Matthew's forehead.

 The next second.

 A thick and hot divine power was injected into Matthew's mind, and quickly swept through Matthew's body!

That feeling was like an enlightenment.

Matthew felt that the pores all over his body were relaxing, a bit like taking a bath in a hot spring.

 Under the warmth of divine power.

  The tension in Matthew's heart disappeared, and all the muscles in his body were greatly relaxed.

 Carmela smiled slightly when she saw this.

She raised her fingers, tapped Matthew's forehead gently with her knuckles, and then prayed in a low voice in a very pious tone:

“Good man Matthew should deliver the divine child in his belly in a painless and harmless way.”

 In an instant.

Matthew's eyes flashed with golden light.

He seemed to see a heavenly door opening toward him, and countless little angels with haloes above their heads singing holy songs surrounded him!

 On the data column.

 …

 Hint: Carmella used the "Oracle" on you!"

 …

 Oracle.

Only those favored by powerful gods have the opportunity to master the art of speaking, speaking, and following!

 Matthew only felt that his body became hotter.

 It seems as if a force is pulling on my soul!

 But this force is not rough.

 On the contrary, it is quite gentle.

This situation lasted for ten minutes before slowly receding.

 Matthew raised his head.

  She found that her body had not changed, but Carmela had a little more sweat on her forehead.

“Good man Matthew should deliver the divine child in his belly in a painless and harmless way.”

 Carmela read this sentence with great piety for the second time.

 This time the duration of the oracle has been greatly shortened.

 Just five minutes later.

Matthew felt that his divine power was fading.

 Carmela’s little hand on Matthew’s forehead became hot.

Her eyes were already covered with a layer of mist, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her breathing was somewhat troubled.

 “What a powerful evil queen!”

 Carmela murmured softly.

 Then she prayed hysterically in a resolute tone:

“Good man Matthew should give birth to the divine child in his belly in a painless and harmless way!”

That moment.

 Matthew felt an unprecedented touch!

 In order to help you isolate embryos.

 Carmela does look like she has lost a lot of money!

 You must try your best to repay this favor in the future...

But the next second.

 On the data column.

 …

 Hint: Carmela used Oracle on you for the third time!

Perception: You sensed that Carmela chose to secretly cancel after releasing the Oracle twice!

 You sense the realm of performance and a little element of fraud! "

 …

　Ah this…

 Matthew felt a little bit dumbfounded.

 You are such a devout believer in the God of the First Moon, and you have started to perform on the operating table, right?

However, he does not have much objection to this kind of behavior.

As long as Carmela can really help herself.

 It can be done after realizing the other party's intention.

 Matthew suddenly felt that Carmela’s sweaty look was very funny!

He looked at the tired little face of the red-robed priest and couldn't help laughing.

 Smile and smile.

Suddenly he felt his nose was itchy. He rubbed it subconsciously but found it was not enough, so he raised his head suddenly and sneezed hard -

 “Ahem!”

Accompanied by this loud sneeze.

  A feeling of general comfort welled up in Matthew's heart.

 He swore.

 I have never had a more comfortable sneeze than this!

 But in the next second.

Matthew noticed something unusual about this sneeze—

 He pressed his stomach hard and found that the contents inside were gone.

at the same time.

 A golden light spot like a soybean was spinning rapidly half a meter above Matthew's upper body.

  A little bit of nasal mucus can be seen faintly on the soybean.

quickly.

 The soybean grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye!

 In an instant, it took on the shape of an embryo!

Matthew suddenly understood, and then his heart was filled with ecstasy.

 Carmela’s oracle actually works in this way!

 Divinity is indeed one of the most unreasonable supernatural energies!

 “I have completed my mission, please remember your promise.”

 Carmela left with a weak face.

 Matthew nodded gratefully.

at this time.

 Everyone noticed that the embryo grew rapidly.

 Soon it transformed into the image of a baby!

 A strange smile quickly appeared on the baby's face.

 She suddenly jumped on Matthew.

Cryingly shouted:

"dad!"

that moment.

Matthew felt a strong instinct to answer the call.

 But he quickly slapped himself!

 “I’m not your father!”

 Matthew pushed the baby away hard.

An expression of extreme grievance appeared on the latter's face, and the Evil Queen's aura became stronger and stronger:

 “Dad, dad, don’t leave me...”

“Daddy, daddy, let me come into your body, I haven’t grown up yet!”

Matthew found it increasingly difficult to resist the evil queen's temptation.

 Fortunately, it is now.

Suriel, who had been watching for a long time, finally took action.

With a tap of her index finger, she used the legendary holding technique to control the baby's movements.

Matthew took the opportunity to roll away and avoid being caught by the Evil Queen again.

 Suriel took out a very cute golden piggy bank.

next moment.

 The piggy bank flew over the baby and then automatically collapsed.

 Countless gold coins flew out from it.

But under the influence of a mighty arcane power, these gold coins melted into boiling gold water as soon as they appeared!

 Golden water poured mercilessly on the baby's body.

 The evil queen’s embryo made an extremely tragic scream!

Suriel cast his spell without changing his expression—

A great prophecy that costs money!

"Wash away the dirt with golden water, you should be a pure and flawless demigod embryo; merge with the souls of the martyrs, and you should be reborn on the corpses of those who died in purgatory!"

 Nearly one million gold coins collapsed.

The boiling golden water poured down continuously.

  Half a minute later.

 The aura of the evil queen on the embryo becomes lighter and weaker.

Suriel took out the blue porcelain bottle.

 Margaret's soul quickly merged into the embryo.

next moment.

The embryo shrank back into a light spot the size of a soybean.

 Then he dug into Margaret's body.

 “Matthew!”

Suriel shouted in a low voice.

 Matthew also knew that the most critical step was coming!

 He immediately expanded the field of breeding and shared the ability of the breeding machine with Margaret's corpse!

 Fortunately, this process was very successful.

quickly.

 The lower abdomen of the corpse was slightly bulging.

The demigod embryo greedily absorbed all the elements from Margaret's corpse.

She knew that the more she absorbed, the more her soul would be preserved!

 Two minutes later.

 The already mutilated corpse became even shriveled up.

 A golden light broke open the lower abdomen of the corpse.

 Follow.

It is the loud cry of a baby when it falls to the ground!

 See this scene.

Suriel's face showed an expression of excitement and relief.

Matthew also secretly breathed a sigh of relief for Margaret.

 “It seems to have been successful?”

“The Evil Queen doesn’t seem to be able to put up a more effective resistance?”

He couldn't help but glance at the data column.

 …

“Tips: You gave birth to a demigod embryo through sneezing. This move is so shocking that it will be widely disseminated as a vision.

 You get a legendary origin story: Father Matthew!

　　Tips: Your friend Lorraine the Duskcaster intercepted this vision and made a small artistic process.

Have you checked the specific content of the origin story? "
