Chapter 838: Which Necromancer Doesn’t Grave Robbing?
He was already prepared to be mocked again.
Who knew that this time.
The skull of Augustus replied seriously,
” Focus is a compulsory course for mages. Not only mages but even gods have headaches because they can’t respond to the prayers of too many believers at the same time. This involves the problem of focus.
“If you want to improve your focus, I have two ideas.
“The first idea was to continuously increase the limits of the human brain.
“This was the case for traditional meditation techniques.
“However, the Meditation Method couldn’t be done quickly. If you wanted to take a shortcut, you could try to use the Sea Elf Meditation Method.
“I’m not sure if the Sea Elf Meditation Technique is still passed down in your era.
“But if you can find the whole book.
“Remember to start from the second part!
“The second idea was to use external tools to increase concentration.
“This idea corresponded to the gods, and the specific application tool was the divine persona.
“A divine persona was not only the proof of a god’s status, but it also had powerful computing power.
“The gods with powerful divinities would reply to most of their believers in unison. In fact, the divinities were taking part in the focus pressure on the gods ‘brains.
“In view of this.
“The great Necromancer Bain proposed the theory of the False Divine Vessel.
“This theory mainly talked about the method of raising gods and plundering divinities to create a False Divine Vessel that belonged to mages.
“I remember back in my time.
“A few Legendary-mages had made great progress in their research on the False Divine Vessel project.
“Now, who knew how many years had passed.
“You can try digging up their graves.
“The Lord of the Underworld Mountain Bain.
“The Bone Monarch Sandro;
“Death Giant Whitty;
“Sprite Trainer Monica;
..”
As he spoke.
He listed out the names of more than ten necromancers and the approximate location of their tombs.
The more Matthew listened, the more shocked he became.
“How do you know so many Necromancer’s Graves?”
Augustus said impatiently,
“These are all things that I was prepared to dig up when I was alive, but I didn’t have the time to do so.
“What’s wrong? Do you have any objections?
“If you haven’t reached the legendary level, shut up and listen to your senior’s advice. Which necromancer doesn’t rob graves?”
After saying this.
Augustus ‘remnant soul quickly dissipated.
Matthew quickly jotted down the names on the list and the locations of the tombs.
He was secretly happy, but he also became a little more vigilant.
“These people were all necromancers when they were alive, so they must have a good understanding of their peers. Their tombs must be extremely dangerous. This guy didn’t instigate me to rob the tomb because he wanted me to die, right?”
Matthew was not blinded by Augustus’s change in attitude.
Even if it was just a Lich’s remnant soul.
Matthew was also vigilant.
“Grave robbing can indeed be put on the agenda, but there’s no hurry. I shall find a few simple places to practice or level up the Grave Domain first.”
In his thoughts.
Matthew then fed other food into Augustus’s skull.
After more than a day of testing.
Matthew confirmed that as long as he feeds it, he will receive 5 minutes of long-range defence, but during this period, he cannot use this weapon to cast spells.
Different foods would trigger different benefits.
Some of these buffs were useless, while others were unexpectedly strong.
For example, Matthew had once fed it a glass of milk.
He received [Luck +1]!
However, there was something that gave him a headache.
The next time Matthew fed the milk.
The feedback from the Skull of Augustus was [Light Penetration].
It could be seen that even if the same thing were fed, it would obtain different buffs at different times.
This was filled with random factors.
In actual combat, this could only be used to try his luck and be a surprise attack.
No matter what.
The power of the Skull of Augustus was self-evident.
At this point.
Matthew finally had a Necromancer’s weapon.
” From now on, I’ll bring this skull out every day. I shouldn’t be mistaken for a Druid, right?”
..
Two days later.
Mage Hood had come to visit.
Matthew knew why he was there, so he went straight to the point after some small talk.
He brought Mage Hood to the oak forest and summoned the oak guard Dom in front of him.
The oak guard slowly walked up to Matthew.
He knelt down on one knee and said slowly and heavily,
“Matthew…Master…”
Hood looked at Dom with a complicated gaze.
There was a hint of nostalgia and guilt in his eyes.
However, both sides had already agreed.
Matthew asked Dom,
” Dom, the mage in front of you is a noble elder. He has done a lot to save the lives of many people in Cross City. Are you willing to sign a symbiotic contract with him?”
Dom tilted his head.
“His life… has already reached the end.
“Are you trying to steal my lifespan by signing a symbiotic contract at this time?”
Hood’s face immediately turned awkward.
Matthew didn’t expect Dom to be so straightforward.
However, in the next second.
Dom still leaned toward Hood affectionately.
“But since it’s Master’s mission…
“Dom is willing to complete it.
“And I like your bald head very much!”
Matthew secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Dom.”
The oak guard’s lifespan was more than 800 years, while Hood was only 160 years old.
After signing the symbiosis contract.
He could live for at least 400 more years.
This would give him a chance to become a Legend.
In the legendary realm, mages had many ways to extend their lifespan.
Matthew’s action was no less than a kindness of rebirth.
Hood was naturally extremely grateful.
Faced with Hood’s many compensation suggestions, Matthew smiled and chose to reject them.
He believed that if he asked Hood to take out all his assets, he would definitely be willing.
After all, it was equivalent to spending money to buy his life.
However, that would be a waste of their friendship.
Hood was not a particularly powerful mage.
However, he was experienced and was also a very suitable ally to rope in.
After signing the symbiotic contract with the oak guard.
Hood’s life and death were actually in Matthew’s hands.
Although the two of them were of equal status on the surface.
But in fact, Matthew was already above Hood.
Both of them were smart people.
Naturally, he was well aware of this.
Hood had tactfully mentioned that he would try his best to form an alliance between Rolling Stone Town and Jiliu City after he returned.
This was naturally what Matthew was happy to see.
Hood was a registered mage in Jiliu City.
His influence in Jiliu City was greater than his own in Rolling Stone Town.
He had managed to control Jiliu City through a Symbiotic Contract.
Of course, this was a profitable transaction.
As for the lifespan brought by the symbiotic contract…
With Matthew’s legendary path and his attainments in the oak tree domain, if he was still worried about things like lifespan, he might as well turn himself into a lich as soon as possible!
He sent off the grateful Hood.
Matthew calmed himself down again to learn spells and modify the protective umbrella.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter in Rolling Stone Town.
December 1st, afternoon.
In a warm classroom with a fireplace at Severn Public School.
A few noble girls were chatting while learning how to weave towels.
They all had faint smiles on their faces.
Sif was the only one sitting by the fireplace. Even if other female companions came to talk to her, she still looked unhappy.
Suddenly.
A figure flashed past the classroom window.
Sif stood up in surprise.
She said to the others,
“I’m going to the toilet. Uh, you don’t have to wait for me later.”
As she spoke.
She lifted her long dress and stepped on her round-headed leather shoes as she quickly walked out of the classroom.
