Chapter 1416 What Is the Price?
Chapter 1416 What Is the Price?
Hearing 177's grand recommendation.
Matthew nodded solemnly.
After leaving the Cauldron House.
Matthew didn't return to Jade Court but came to Black Suo Mountain.
Hera, who was extremely busy, greeted him.
He hurried to the small dark room where Hex was.
It was still the jailer who was in charge of leading the way last time.
After opening the door.
Matthew handed the scroll that Setrunk had given him to Hex.
"Sener personally investigated the cause of Lori Fangta's death. I took a look, and there shouldn't be anything wrong. "
The haggard Hex calmly opened the scroll and read it carefully.
Half a minute later.
The old woman slowly raised her head.
"I can't accept my son being hurt like this.
"I wish to summon his soul and prepare a resurrection ritual. "
Matthew turned around and left.
He did not want to get too involved in this matter.
Hex was once a legendary necromancer, and Matthew was still wary of her.
He had already reached his limit.
However, before Matthew could leave the room.
Hex's voice came from behind.
"Do you want to know what happened in the Scar of the Dead back then?
"Why do the elves hate Baiyan City so much?
"Do you know what kind of terrifying thing is buried under the grave area of the Scar of the Dead? "
Matthew stopped slightly but did not turn around.
Hex's old but powerful voice floated over.
"I can assure you that the secrets I know are things that even the Alliance Mages don't know. Whether it's Isabelle, Link, Soria, or Nameless, none of them are insiders.
"In the entire world, only three mages know what happened when Baiyan City took over the Scar of the Dead project.
" The other two necromancers have left Aindor long ago. I am not afraid to tell you their names. They are Dania, The Nightmare and the Pale King Dickens. "
Matthew's pupils constricted.
Dania the Nightmare was the previous mayor of Baiyan City. She was the original owner of the skill that Matthew had obtained in the rainforest swamp. She was also a member of the Nightmare family, one of the three major families in Baiyan City.
Pale King Dickens was the previous mayor of Baiyan City. Like the current mayor, he was a member of the Ritz family.
The lady in front of Matthew was obviously from the Fangta family.
But Matthew was not more concerned about this.
"Do you know who I am? "
Coincidentally, a cockroach crawled over from the corner of the wall.
Hex reached out her trembling hand and let it crawl along the back of her hand to her ear.
Under Matthew's gaze.
The cockroach got into Hex's ear.
Then, it disappeared.
Hex's low laughter echoed in the small, dark room.
"Thanks to these cute little animals, I can occasionally hear the wind outside.
"From a Tree Master to a Destroyer, your growth rate is quite amazing.
"I haven't seen a necromancer as good as you in years. "
Hex's tone was full of emotion.
Matthew could also feel the pure admiration in her eyes.
But even so...
He did not waver easily.
He just calmly replied,
"You're wrong.
"Besides you, I also know what's under the Grey Lake. "
Under Hex's slightly surprised gaze.
Matthew replied confidently,
"The soul of the sleeping Five-clawed Heavenly Dragon and the Sword of Slaughter, am I right? "
Hex asked in surprise,
"Have you solved the riddle of Ashes?
"This is impossible!
"With your ability, how did you defeat the power of the void? "
Matthew smiled without saying a word.
This made his figure seem unfathomable.
He couldn't possibly tell Hex that he and the Void were family, could he?
Seeing this…
Hex's voice became a little dull.
"I underestimated your ability.
"Without the help of the chains of human desire, you actually managed to spy on the things at the bottom of the Grey Lake.
"But you should be interested in what happened back then. This may be helpful for your next move. "
Even if he wanted to leave, Matthew had to admit that he was very interested in what the necromancers of Baiyan City had done.
He knew very well that he could not follow the other party's rhythm.
Hence, he said,
"Your son cannot be resurrected, and I will not summon his soul.
"But I'll try to contact his wife, Ashe. The last time we met, Ashe was already trying to find Lori's ghost. Maybe she has already found it or has some clues?
"I can help you contact Ashe, but you have to tell me what Baiyan City has done on the Scar of the Dead project. "
Hex was silent for a moment.
Then, she warned,
"You can contact Ashe.
"But don't believe her; don't believe any young and beautiful woman!
"This is something that children of your age need to pay attention to at all times! "
Matthew asked with interest,
"Why? "
Hex said calmly,
"Because I was young and pretty once. "
Matthew shrugged.
"Don't worry, I'll be on guard against Ashe.
Hex still looked worried.
"Take out ten times the vigilance you have against me and keep an eye on that woman!
"I must know the final whereabouts of my son's ghost! "
Matthew said that he could only do his best.
He couldn't give any guarantees.
Hex was straightforward.
After both sides reached a tacit understanding, she immediately said,
"We found something very precious in the Scar of the Dead. "
Experience tales at empire
Matthew asked without hesitation,
"Soul Crystal? "
Hex was speechless.
"Yes...
"I didn't expect your research to reach such a deep level in such a short time.
"But there's an even more important secret. "
Matthew looked at her calmly.
"Please, continue... "
Hex said mysteriously,
"We discovered the secret of immortality in the Scar of the Dead! "
She had thought that Matthew would be surprised or moved.
At least there would be an emotional fluctuation.
However, the young man in front of her had once again exceeded her expectations.
From beginning to end.
Matthew looked very calm.
"Do you hear me?
"That's immortality! "
Hex could not help but emphasize,
"Don't you long for immortality? "
Matthew spread his hands, his eyes bright.
"So...
"What is the price? "
...
