Chapter 246: Lord of the Ashes
The tiredness on his body instantly disappeared, and the annoyance accumulated from the journey a while ago also dissipated a lot.
Matthew’s body and mind were greatly relaxed.
Suddenly.
He suddenly realized that his forest was already very big.
It spread from the eastern part of the town to the northern part of the private territory that used to belong to Rheagar.
Further north.
Many neatly arranged holes had already appeared.
That was the result of the hard -working zombie workers working all night.
Matthew was very pleased with this.
However, he did not plan to plant them according to these holes.
This was because Matthew had only roughly estimated the bearing capacity of the earth before.
After returning from the South.
Matthew now had the ability to feel the earth’s pulse more directly.
[Equalized Perception]!
In an instant.
The world changed colours in front of Matthew.
Elemental Field.
Aether Field.
In the material world.
The structure of the plane seemed to unfurl in front of him.
He could clearly see the energy flow in every corner!
“What? In the past three and a half days, I’ve planted 100 trees, and I’ve almost drained the ‘Essence of Life’ in the forest?!
“No, it’s not just that. It’s probably because the oak forest is expanding too quickly. This piece of land is almost being drained dry.”
Matthew’s expression was solemn.
Matthew felt a pain in his temple and instantly exited the state of equalized perception.
“Hiss! ”
Matthew held the oak tree and gently rubbed his temples to calm the pain.
[Warning: You have discovered the secret of the Scar of the Dead, the Lord of Ashes who is active in the Elemental Plane!]
[The Lord of Ashes has sensed your gaze and is about to send its generals and troops to eliminate you!]
[It was estimated that there were still 720 hours before the first wave of troops arrived.]
The Lord of Ashes...
Was this the source of the Scar of the Dead’s expansion?
Matthew frowned.
He knew that he would never be able to avoid the Scar of the Dead. This time, he was prepared to deal with the expansion of the Scar of the Dead.
However, he did not expect the other party to strike first.
The reason was simply because he had taken a look at the monster.
However, Matthew was not worried. He had seen similar cases in the information of the Seven Saint Alliance.
In theory, the Scar of the Dead’s effect on the material world was limited to harming the creatures close to the scar. If one stayed far away enough from the scar, one wouldn’t be affected that much.
If this rule hadn’t changed, the troops it sent out should not be too powerful.
That being said.
Matthew returned to his home in town immediately.
He came to his familiar desk.
Matthew first wrote a reply to Lorraine, telling him that although he did mind being cheated. as long as Lorraine could guarantee that there would be no more deliberate deception, the friendship between the two sides would have a chance to continue.
Then he handed the letter to the albatross who had been standing guard in the garden for the past few days.
The sweet girl pecked the letter and flew away without looking back. Matthew didn’t even have the chance to hand over the porcelain bottle in his hand.
“Next time then.”
He thought with a clear conscience.
Soon after.
Matthew returned to the basement, took out the thick document, and read it carefully..
