Chapter 285 The girl who brought disaster! (Ask for monthly ticket)

 …

 In the office.

Roland, who was on the verge of collapse, began to go crazy.

 He began to try all kinds of weird things -

 Take off your clothes and run around naked;

Hold the hard solid wood table and chew on it;

　　Sitting curled up on the floor, pulling out hair one by one;

　gluing;

 Handstand with one hand;

 Handstand with one hand to apply glue;

push-up;

 Perform push-ups and glue at the same time;

 …

 “No inspiration!”

 “No inspiration!”

Loland pressed his thumbs with both hands against his temples.

 That is so.

His originally shining eyes still looked extremely gray.

“Origin story… shovel… tree planting… Matthew… scumbag… dark history…”

His lips trembled from time to time.

 Single words pop up one after another.

Gradually.

 The color was gone from his face.

 But there was a hint of energy in the bloodshot and slightly protruding eyeballs.

 “Yes!”

 He smiled cruelly.

 “Matthew, don’t blame me for being ruthless in my writing...”

“Ah, this ray of inspiration is still short of the final inspiration. Following this clue, this is it, this is the direction of development!”

 He sat on the floor.

 He began to twist his thigh muscles excitedly.

 He can feel it.

He has already touched the most critical edge of inspiration. With just a light touch, he has the opportunity to quickly complete this gorgeous and cruel story.

 However, at this time.

 Just when Lorraine's inspiration was within reach.

　　A banging sound.

The office door was pushed open—

 “Mr. Lorraine…”

The woman in black uniform said as she walked.

However, Lorraine interrupted her angrily:

"Shut up!"

"ah…!"

 “You’ve squeezed my inspiration! Don’t talk, don’t talk, he’s right here, right under your feet, don’t move!”

 While speaking.

The crazy-looking Loren was like a reptile, circling around the woman on the floor.

The woman raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

 However, Lorraine circled her several times, and the inspiration that was so close just now was gone!

"No!"

Loland scratched his head in pain, tears and snot streaming down his face.

At this time, he was naked and crying like a child. However, the floor was still covered with unknown liquid. The entire office gave people a feeling of decadence and malaise.

 The woman in black’s nose twitched slightly.

She dexterously threw a cleaning spell to Lorraine, and then used other means to make the entire office look brand new.

 In the blink of an eye.

The depressed atmosphere in the office has become much lighter.

 “Mr. Lorraine…”

 The woman in black was about to speak.

But at this moment, Luo Lan, who was crying just now, suddenly jumped up like a wild beast!

His hands held the woman in black's shoulders like iron hoops, and then pushed her back hard.

boom!

 The woman was pressed against the wall, with a look of pain on her face.

 “You’ve taken away my inspiration!”

Laurent seemed to have lost his mind:

 “You have to make amends!”

His body kept getting closer to the woman in black.

However, the latter just calmly pushed up his glasses.

She gently leaned into Luo Lan's ear and whispered:

“If I don’t agree, I can sue you and annihilate you…”

 The next second.

Roland, who was as hard as a rock just now, suddenly softened.

 He slumped to the floor again like a mollusk.

　　　I refused to get up no matter what.

 “I’m sorry, Mr. Lorraine.”

Seeing this scene, the woman in black, who had always had a cold expression, couldn't help but have a smile on her eyebrows:

“I didn’t mean to disturb your creation, but I came here mainly to bring you good news.”

As she spoke, she waved another letter in her hand.

 Then he said apologetically:

“I just read the first letter, and I hastily arranged the next work for you.”

“But in fact, Mr. Matthew invited you to explore the ancient atmosphere in his second letter..."

 “Are you interested in going?”

Roland, who was lying on the floor, raised his head, with a slightly confused look on his face:

 “I don’t remember that I…”

 “Wait a minute! I’m very knowledgeable about ancient auras!”

Loland's tone suddenly became excited!

 He jumped up from the floor like a carp, and then looked at the woman in black expectantly:

 “Can I leave here?!”

 The woman pushed up her glasses again:

“Since it’s Lord Matthew’s invitation, I definitely have no reason to stop it.”

“But you’d better really do some research on ancient auras…”

Roland patted his chest confidently, and his chest hair trembled rapidly:

 “Of course, I’ve always been known for my honesty.”

 The woman folded her hands on her chest, her eyes subtle:

“Theoretically, a deceitful demigod could indeed achieve a reputation for honesty.”

"But we won't care about these details. Mr. Matthew, as the first in the Alliance's Rising Stars program, has the highest priority in the work of our news department, so you can leave now."

“But you have to go find him as soon as possible, and don’t let us find out that there is extra delay. You know the situation in the Department of Information. It will be difficult for the department to operate without you..."

Roland said with a sad face:

“If a department cannot function without one person, is it really necessary for this department to exist?”

The woman in black said coldly:

“This is not a high-end topic that I can touch upon. Didn’t you personally discuss it with Ms. Isabel?”

“She told me that you volunteered to be the Minister of Information, didn’t you?”

Roland replied with dull eyes:

 “Yes, yes, I volunteered.”

The black woman nodded as she should:

“As long as it’s voluntary, the alliance’s rules are very strict and they don’t allow involuntary employees to be hired.”

“Ms. Isabel will find it very difficult if you declare that it was not voluntary.”

Loland showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"That's it. In view of Mr. Matthew's invitation, you will have three days of vacation. During these three days, nothing will disturb you."

As the woman in black spoke, she wrote something in a yellow leather diary:

“But after three days, be sure to be ready to work part-time.

“Please keep this Book of Hebrew Cards with you at all times. I will summarize all the necessary information, and you need to organize this information into a manuscript.”

“Once the work starts, please be sure to reply as soon as possible. After all, you don’t want me to disturb you in person, right?”

 Said.

 She handed a thick notebook with a black cover into Loren's hands.

Roland took a deep breath:

"I see."

 “As long as you can let me out!”

 “Get out of this **** place, even if you work part-time outside!”

 The woman in black nodded:

"you can go now."

So Luo Lan walked swaggeringly towards the door of the office.

 While walking.

The woman in black noticed that he was still not wearing any clothes, so she thoughtfully used magic to change Luo Lan into decent clothes.

 Loland turned around in surprise.

 The woman calmly met the other person’s gaze:

 “You’re welcome, the money for the clothes will be deducted from your salary.”

Roland suddenly became interested:

"May I have your name?"

 “Rosie Herta.”

 The woman informed her generously.

Roland looked at the other party’s beautiful and handsome face:

 “Hurta?”

“Is it the Herta family from the sea kingdoms?”

Rosie nodded slightly.

"But I have nothing to do with my family. My family is not rich or even a little poor. I have just paid off the loan from the Magic Academy, so you don't have to expect to get a lot of wealth by hooking me up."

 The girl said it very straightforwardly.

Laurent took a few steps forward and looked into her eyes.

His voice was soft and subtle, with an indescribable bewitching tone:

 “If I had just forced it, would you really sue me for annihilation?”

"of course not."

Rosie shook her fresh and crisp short hair.

A trace of pride flashed in Luo Lan's eyes.

  It can be used in the next second.

He saw Rosie taking out a glowing magic pen from her arms and saying:

“I will use the weapon Ms. Isabel gave me to complete the painless sterilization surgery for you within tenths of a second.”

“Of course, I’m sure this item will be useless in the end, isn’t it?”

Loland took two steps back sharply.

 Then he smiled:

"certainly."

 “I never force myself on a girl.”

Rosie had a professional fake smile on her face:

 “I believe it for now.”

 “Well, have a nice holiday, Mr. Lorraine.”

 Said.

She came to the hall outside and walked quickly towards her small office with a pile of documents in her arms.

 Dong dong dong!

Black soft leather high heels make a nice sound when stepped on the mahogany floor.

Loland looked at Rosie's young and beautiful back and forgot what to say for a moment.

 Until Rosie walked to the door of the small office.

He then shouted loudly as if he suddenly came to his senses:

 “Happy holidays, Rosie!”

“Also, remember to recruit a few more capable people while I’m away!”

 …

 “I hope there will be good news from Lorraine.”

 Peripheral area on the second underground floor of the cemetery.

Matthew thought in his mind as he used negative energy to repair the wounds on a harpy monster.

 The reason why he suddenly thought of Lorraine.

 It is because the latter signed his first letter to Matthew with the title -

 Amateur tomb robber.

 Considering the special profession of Dusk Chanter.

Matthew suddenly realized that this guy Luo Lan was probably an expert in the field of tomb robbing!

Hold the mentality of giving it a try.

 He directly sent an invitation letter. If Lorraine was not interested, then Matthew also hoped that he could recommend one or two reliable professional thieves to him.

 Elolan’s connections on the east coast.

I believe this is not difficult.

 While thinking, Matthew turned his attention back to his eyes.

This harpy giant monster has obvious signs of battle, but there is no monster corpse nearby.

　　This indicates that this harpy may have encountered a scout who was extremely skilled in movement.

 After a brief entanglement between the two parties.

 The other party managed to escape.

From the battle traces, Matthew initially judged that the professional level of the scout or scout would not be lower than level fourteen.

“It seems that the enemies targeting the cemetery this time are quite good.”

Matthew thought so.

 After returning, I plan to strengthen patrols and defense in this direction.

 During the past period of time.

Dead Terror Cemetery was attacked by three waves of forces roving from the underground city.

The first two waves were destroyed by the harpy monster.

 The third wave was wiped out by Death Knight Forty-Seven on his own initiative.

These wanderers did not cause even a trace of damage to Matthew's cemetery.

On the contrary, it has slowly and steadily increased the legend of the cemetery to a certain extent.

at present.

  Legends about the Death Fear Cemetery have been spread to a small extent in the Underdark.

 This undoubtedly attracts more attention to the cemetery.

The last few days.

Matthew can clearly feel that the defense line formed by the harpies and monsters is encountering more frequent reconnaissance and testing.

 He was not afraid of it.

With the current strength of the cemetery, if it weren't for the big forces in the Dark Region, they would all come here to give away experience.

certainly.

  Matthew was not careless.

 While the underground alliance had not yet been formed, he devoted most of his energy to the construction of the cemetery.

 On the one hand, he increased development efforts and began to excavate the third layer of the cemetery.

 There are actually not many undead units in the cemetery currently.

The three low-level arms, ghosts, skeletons and zombies, occupy most of the pit positions.

  Medium-level units only have a few black warriors to support the scene.

 This was not enough for Matthew.

 Next, whenever he has free time, he will try to make and summon intermediate undead.

 The third floor of the cemetery to be developed.

This is the pit reserved by Matthew for vampires, mummies, banshees and even some high-level undead.

on the other hand.

Matthew also strengthened the guard force outside the cemetery.

 Except for an additional ghost patrol.

Matthew also comes with a little Grimace for each Harpy Troll!

 Speaking of little grimaces.

 This is an unexpected surprise that the negative energy beacon brought to Matthew in December.

 Just a few days ago.

Negative Energy Beacon has recruited a new elite undead, and it is a very rare unit—

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

 Ghostface is an intermediate undead, on the same level as vampires and banshees.

  but to a rare degree. Ghostface even surpasses the Bone Dragon and rivals the Lich!

 This is an undead creature with only a huge humanoid face.

Its appearance has a terrifying effect.

 When people look at it, their legs will tremble and they will want to run away.

 In addition to the horror effect.

The real trump card of this level 17 elite Ghostface is Devouring!

 Ghostface can send the swallowed person into the negative energy plane through the action of swallowing.

 Until the latter is assimilated by the negative energy plane.

 The soul will give birth to a new ghost face in the ghost face's belly.

 This is the origin of the little grimace.

 The number of little ghost faces depends entirely on how many lives the original ghost faces have devoured.

 They are slaves to the native ghostface and cannot survive alone.

As long as the original Ghostface dies.

 The little grimace will also be wiped out.

  The cause of the original grimace is a mystery even to the Necromancer.

 So this thing is very rare.

　　After entering the cemetery, the native Ghostface showed a very respectful attitude towards Matthew.

Matthew also made an agreement with him for three chapters.

 That’s why Ghostface became a part of the cemetery.

This native ghost face has more than thirty little ghost faces.

 Not a lot in number.

But Matthew discovered that these little ghost faces have super fast movement speed and the ability to pass through walls.

So they were appointed as lieutenants to the Harpy Troll.

 On the one hand, the Little Grimace can make up for the harpy giant's shortcomings of slow movement and sluggish movements.

On the other hand, after encountering an emergency, Little Ghostface can quickly escape through the wall and spread the news.

 Because each little ghost face has excellent information collection and expression capabilities.

Matthew even considered training them into couriers in the future!

But all this requires the cooperation of native ghost faces.

 The other party is new here.

Matthew also has to test the ideological awareness and loyalty of his new comrades.

  But in general.

  Matthew is still very satisfied with the arrival of Ghostface.

Especially after the latter joined the cemetery, he immediately presented a treasure to Matthew.

It is a red mask with a playful and smiling expression.

 …

“Laughing Mask (advanced magic item/consumable): You can recite the activation spell on a target, then throw the mask out, and the Laughing Mask will stick to the target’s face.

During this period.

The Laughing Mask will cause the target to make a Will save every three seconds.

If the saving throw fails.

 The opponent will laugh wildly for thirty seconds.

 Even if the saving throw is successful.

If the other party tries to take off the mask forcibly, the skin on his face will be torn off too!

 You can chant a spell to remove the Laughing Mask from a target.

If the Laughing Mask is attached to a target for more than ten minutes.

 The mask of laughter disappears.

The target will be transformed into a "Smiley Monster"

 Smiley Monster Attributes: Unknown.

 Remaining available times: 3/7

Note: You must target a humanoid with a face to use the Laughing Mask. "

 …

 In Matthew’s view.

 This is a very evil magic item.

 Evil.

  But it may be useful.

In order to prevent it from leaking out and causing harm to others, Matthew had no choice but to accept it happily.

 In his hand.

 At least there won’t be anything as cruel as turning a living person into a smiling monster.

“Speaking of it, the negative energy plane is indeed a treasure. Many undead people carry magic props from their lifetimes. Those that can still retain their effectiveness under the erosion of negative energy and time must be of the best quality.”

“If you are bored this winter, you can also go and visit Xiaofei…”

 Reschedule and allocate the work of peripheral defense.

Matthew returned to the cemetery with brisk steps. When passing by the Wanderer's Courtyard, he found that today Richard was teaching Qiuka an ancient thief's spell—

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

This thing is actually an illusion in the mage system, but after being integrated into the rogue system, thieves added a huge amount of venom, making it deadly.

 Richard's presentation was quite skillful.

He grabbed a frog in the palm of his hand, then used a brush to brush the venom on the frog's skin, and then chanted a spell. The frog's skin flashed with a lavender magical light, and then disappeared instantly.

"That's it. Remember, after the frog bomb is made, it will last for up to four hours. After four hours, the frog as the carrier will be poisoned and die, and you will lose the effect of moving the bomb."

“Look, I can control the movement direction of the frog through the movement of my fingers. In very ancient times, frog bombs were a very effective way of assassinating people…”

But I saw Richard flicking his fingers flexibly.

The frog suddenly jumped towards Qiuka, who hurriedly avoided it.

A loud bang!

 The frog exploded.

 A large amount of venom filled the air.

Qiuka looked nervously at the venom in the air, and Richard smiled slightly:

“This is just ordinary honey water. Only in actual combat can we use real venom.”

 “Come on, let’s try making your own frog bomb…”

 Said.

　　He took out a cage wrapped in black cloth from the next room.

 A stabbing sound.

 The black cloth was torn apart.

 There was an overwhelming number of "croaking, croaking, croaking" sounds coming from inside.

Qiuka had a look of resistance on her face:

 “I hate frogs!”

Richard shrugged, then he took out the second cage from the room and placed it in front of Qiuka, and said kindly:

 “Spiders will do, too.”

As he spoke, he went to lift up the black cloth.

 Chuka quickly stopped:

"Forget it…"

 “Then it’s still a frog!”

As she spoke, she opened the wooden cage, grabbed a frog out of it, frowned and started practicing.

 This is the first time that she has studied the abilities taught by Richard so seriously.

 Matthew saw this scene.

 Hand Richard looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, he felt something in his heart and turned back to look at the steps.

 But see the entrance to the cemetery.

 A blond man rushed in in a hurry.

 “Lorain?”

 Matthew was a little surprised.

Roland ran straight to Matthew and asked straight to the point:

"When to set off?"

"Set off?"

Matthew was a little surprised, and soon realized that the other party was mentioning tomb robbing.

 “Are you in such a hurry?”

Matthew said with concern:

“You don’t look good and you seem a little tired. Do you want to rest for two more days?”

The other party shook his head decisively:

 “I’ve never been more energetic than I am now!”

“If you come to me to explore the ancient atmosphere, you’ve found the right person!”

 “I am better at avoiding traps than most thieves!”

 Said.

 He also glanced at Richard inadvertently.

 Richard leisurely commented:

“The profession of Dusk Singer can only be obtained by those who often work in the fields.”

 Loland raised his eyebrows:

“So you stepped on the corpses of many colleagues to achieve your current achievements?”

 “The great silver snake?”

 Matthew has a headache.

These two people haven't seen each other for a long time, and they still quarrel when they meet.

 He was about to speak to lighten the mood.

suddenly.

 A sneaky frog jumped over from the side and approached Luo Lan fiercely.

However, Lorraine has quick eyes and quick hands.

 He grabbed the frog and looked around calmly.

 Later, in Qiuka’s shocked eyes.

Roland suddenly raised his right hand holding the frog, and then opened his mouth!

 Snap!

 He stuffed the frog into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.



Green juice flowed from the corners of Lorraine's mouth.

 The latter also smiled at Qiuka.

This scene was so terrifying that Qiuka was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Richard!

Matthew glanced at the data column and couldn't help rolling his eyes at Lorraine.

 “Come on, let’s go have a meal first?”

 He planned to take Lorraine away.

Roland shook his head:

“Take me directly to the pastor mentioned in your letter!”

Matthew looked hesitant:

“She is a bit difficult to deal with and very demanding. Do you want to fix it first?”

 Loland shook his head confidently.

So the two left the cemetery and went straight to the official post house in Rolling Stone Town.

 Until the two of them disappeared on the steps at the entrance.

Only then did Qiuka move his head out from behind Richard:

 “The man with the hairy chest is so scary!”

 “He ate my frog bomb!”

Richard seemed to be in a good mood. He chuckled and explained:

"When he caught the frog bomb, he used the rogue's method of dismantling the trap, and then used a poet's special ability called pot dumping. Finally, you saw him chewing the frog bomb. In fact, it is the most commonly used method by mages. Illusion.”

“That’s what bards are like, they know a little bit of everything, but they’re not proficient in anything.”

 “He’s just scaring you...”

 Chuka suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.

 “Is that so?”

The girl asked:

“What about the frog bomb I secretly released in the first place?”

 “Where was he dumped?”

 Richard shrugged:

 “I don’t know that.”

"The transfer range of the pot-slinging technique will not exceed three hundred meters. It should be nearby. There is no real venom attached to the frog bomb. It will explode soon after losing control. However, there is no one nearby. It should be There will be no accidental injuries.”

 “You just did a good job, but you need to keep practicing.”

 Chuka’s face fell.

　　I had no choice but to continue catching frogs reluctantly.

 At the same time.

 A corner in the oak forest on the surface.

 After a banging sound.

Two avian creatures, one black and one white, stared at this scene with their mouths open.

 Half a while.

 The black peacock finally recovered.

 He said to the slimmer Miss Grouse beside him:

“See, I have said before that not only humans are mutating, but almost all creatures in this world are mutating!”

“Frogs have learned to explode themselves, what else can’t they do?”

 “Accept my confession and stay with me!”

 “Let’s enter a new chapter in Niao Sheng together!”

 Miss Grouse looked a little shy.

She hesitated and said:

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　but...

“You just confessed your love to my sister a few days ago!”

 “And she accepted it, right?”

Black Peacock said without changing his expression:

"yes!"

 “So let the three of us enter a new chapter in Bird Life together!”

 “Is there anything that’s not allowed?”

 …

 Official post house.

 Suite 3.

“...Although Mr. Lothalon Ranch is not a professional thief, as far as I know, he is no less skilled than a professional expert in this area. Madam, please believe me and my friends..."

 In order to convince Carmela, Matthew prepared a lot of rhetoric along the way.

However, he only spoke a few words.

 Carmela nodded happily and said:

"Can!"

 “Just this man!”

Matthew was suddenly a little stunned. He thought that convincing Carmela would be a troublesome thing, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree faster than him!

 Facing Matthew's confused eyes.

 Carmela took the initiative to explain:

 “My God told me that the ancient aura of the poet in front of me is very strong.”

“According to ordinary people, he must have done a lot of bad things...”

 Hear this.

 Loland was not happy:

 “Can you speak well?”

“What I hate the most in my life are stick men. I’m willing to cooperate with you because of Matthew. You’d better be careful what you say!”

“Speaking of which, is it true that there are still priests in the continent of Irondor? What else did your **** tell you?”

 He asked with great interest.

The bald red-robed priest raised his eyelids and replied calmly:

 “My God also told me—”

“You are falling in love, and that girl will bring you disaster in the future!”

Roland’s face changed drastically.

The eyes looking at Carmela became very serious.

 …

Please give me a monthly vote. I have been working very **** the latest update. I don’t recommend it. It all depends on the exposure of the monthly vote list... Please!
