Chapter 90: You Can ‘t Watch What’s Next!
Translator: Lonelytree
In the small room, Li Weiqi drank a cup of water and said with confidence,”
‘ During the years I was pursuing the Coiled Dragon, I had dealings with many Sus. Some of them had advanced professions that were different from those in Aindor. An elder of the Su told me that in an even more ancient era, there was an elite profession in the Eastern Continent that had the ability to transcend life and death. Its name was ‘Daoist’.
“It was a pity that the group of Su people who came on the ship did not master all the Daoist heritage. Some of them used their professional skills and combined the power of the native shamans of the Barbarian Tooth Peninsula to create a new path that balanced life and death.
“That high-level path was called the ” Envoy of Equilibrium “. Among the Su, only adventurers above Tier-8 could advance.
“However, Envoy of Equilibrium are rare. I’ve only heard of similar professions on a remote island in the Arunay Sea.
“The Su people on that island are very reclusive and live an isolated life. I helped them kill a sea monster and was lucky enough to gain their recognition, but I still didn’t have the chance to come into contact with the real Envoy of Equilibrium.
“Perhaps this was just a legend among the Su. Controlling life and death at the same time was against the common sense of the Aindor Continent.” Daoist priests and shamans fused to become Envoy of Equilibrium?
Matthew suddenly had a great interest in this profession.
He had studied the information Samantha had given him about the Su Nation, but most of it was just groundless rumours or a map of how to get to the Su Nation.
There was very little information about the secret treasure that the captain’s son had mentioned to her.
Under such circumstances, Matthew had planned to take a safe and stable path, which was to advance to a ” high-level necromancer.”
After all, whether it was the Lord of Paleness or the other advanced undead profession, they would more or less gradually lean towards the evil camp. Only the necromancer’s advancement could maintain a delicate balance.
It was not difficult to become a high-level necromancer.
Matthew only needed to find a few unfamiliar immortals in the wilderness and have a heart-to-heart talk with them all night.
Before daybreak, one could complete the ” Night of the Undead ” ritual and obtain the title of a high-level necromancer by obtaining the recognition of the unfamiliar undead by any means.
However, this method of advancement was relatively mediocre, and there was almost no additional increase in strength.
It was Matthew’s last choice.
However, things were different now.
He accidentally learned about the Envoy of Equilibrium.
Whether it was a shaman or a Daoist, they should be walking the path of a mage. A necromancer trying to advance should not be unable to meet the prerequisites.
Of course, all of this was just Matthew’s imagination. According to Li Weiqi, it would be extremely difficult to advance to become an Envoy of Equilibrium.
Matthew only wanted to give it a try.
If it didn’t work, he would return to his original plan and advance to a
high-level necromancer.
Since he had the Path of Life and Death and the support of his domain, his combat strength was several times that of an ordinary person. He did not have that much desire for the additional boost brought by the special advancement.
Then, Matthew and Li Weiqi talked about the small island of the Su.
When he found out that Matthew was interested in advancing to the Envoy of Equilibrium, Li Weiqi asked Matthew to find a pen and paper without saying anything. He wrote a recommendation letter for Matthew.
This moved Matthew.
Before he could voice his doubts, Li Weiqi laughed and said, ” The oak trees have already told me what you’ve done here. Matthew, you’re a person who loves nature. I don’t want you to lean towards evil in the future. The Envoy of Equilibrium is the most suitable advancement for you.
“It’s just that you can’t have too much hope. When I was walking on the island, I realized that the Su didn’t have any special abilities. They might have completely lost the inheritance of their ancestors. This wasn’t surprising. No matter what race they were, they would lose a lot in the long dark years.”
After writing the recommendation letter, Li Weiqi said, ” And I’m not helping you for free. For the next few days, I’ll be living in the mayor’s house of Rolling Stone Town. The bustling town is not suitable for me. Only your oak forest is more suitable as a cultivation residence. I hope you can agree to let me live in the forest for a long time.”
How could Matthew disagree?
After Eli left, he was about to go out to look for an opportunity to advance. Coincidentally, a Tier 5 big shot took the initiative to come and take his place.
Although Li Weiqi was most likely staying here to monitor the Underdark for Rheagar.
However, Matthew, as the beneficiary, was still relieved.
At least for the time being, the oak forest was safe.
The two of them chatted for a while.
Finally.
Li Weiqi suddenly said seriously, “Matthew, it’s best if you don’t leave this place for too long.”
Matthew said solemnly, “What do you mean? Will something big happen here?”
Li Weiqi nodded and said, “It’s a very serious matter. I’m afraid that if you leave for too long and I take over your harem, your harem will fall in love with me!”
Matthew was shocked.” Harem?” Li Weiqi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Your oaks!
“You didn’t expect it, did you?”
Matthew laughed dryly.
As expected, monks were hard to understand!
After getting the clues about the Envoy of Equilibrium from Li Weiqi, Matthew began to speed up his preparations before his advancement.
Apart from the necessary items to purchase, information was more important.
Li Weiqi’s information was not clear enough to be used as a basis.
So, at four o’clock the next morning.
Matthew walked briskly to the Cauldron House.
He moved to the top floor.
Matthew saw the mild-tempered tower spirit 177.
“Good morning, Matthew. You look very pleased with yourself. As someone who has been through it before, I guess you’re in love! And I’m quite satisfied with my life with my partner. Oh, just like me and Little Blossom in the past.
It’s really sad to think about it.”
Tower Genie 177 said in frustration.
“That’s not the case. I just found a suitable opportunity to advance.
“I have two things to ask you,” Matthew quickly explained.
” Ask away!” The tower genie waved his hand.” I’ll give you a 50% discount on
the consultation fee before Ronan returns!”
“Won’t you get the consultation fee in full regardless?” Matthew asked curiously.”
A look of grief and indignation immediately appeared on the tower genie’s face. “No, I only have a ten percent cut! In fact, I don’t plan to surrender the consultation fee until Ronan comes back. This way, after giving you a 50% discount, I’ll still earn much more than before!”
It seemed that the Great Mage Ronan was also good at exploiting people.
Matthew tactfully stopped asking.
“Two keywords. The first is the Scar of the Dead. I want to Imow the origin and story of the Scar of the Dead, as well as the potential solution to solve the spread of the Scar of the Dead. The second keyword was the Envoy of Equilibrium. This profession did not involve the Su Country, but it was related to the Su. Please don’t tell me that it was another confidential matter.” He made his intentions clear.
The tower spirit pondered for a moment before suddenly shouting,
“No. 1001! Go and bring me the shining thing on the cabinet!”
Very quickly, a panting little fellow appeared on the other side of the elevator.
It was a construct the size of a Halfling, and its body looked rather thin. At this moment, it was carrying a document bag on its back. The bag was heavy and seemed to contain a lot of content.
“This is all the information about the Scar of the Dead in the Seven Saint Alliance. It’s free. The Alliance welcomes anyone who wants to solve the Scar of the Dead to work hard, but it’s very difficult for you to find the answer you want directly.”
The tower genie handed the folder to Matthew.
Then, he proudly introduced the small automaton, “See, Matthew? This is my new son, number 1001! I’ve always felt too lonely. It’s not a good thing to always look for a partner. Why don’t I find myself a son? What do you think?”
Seeing the small automaton trembling, Matthew could only try his best to smile sincerely. “A great child looks like he has a bright future!”
“I agree, Matthew.” The tower genie was overjoyed.” I knew he had a bright future ahead of him. Look, his eyes are very similar to mine. One look and I can tell that we are father and son. There’s no mistake about that!”
After saying that, he was about to carry No. 1001 up and play with it for a while.
“There’s still the Envoy of Equilibrium,” Matthew hurriedly reminded it.
The tower genie was confused.” Didn’t you say that just now? That’s confidential information. Everything related to the Su country is top secret unless you can kill Ronan and replace him. But you definitely can’t do it now, right, Matthew?
‘ My suggestion is that you can try your luck, but don’t get too involved. I have high hopes for you. After you have successfully advanced, please come to the Cauldron House to find me immediately. I will help you with the procedures to join the Seven Saint Alliance.”
“Me? Join the Alliance of Seven Saints?” Matthew was a little surprised.
The tower genie nodded.” Of course, Ronan has already written you a letter. As long as you reach Tier 3, you will immediately become the existence with the highest authority among the peripheral members. However, after that, you will have to rely on your own hard work. After all, Ronan’s life and death are unknown. The value of your relationship with him will be greatly reduced.”
The Seven Saint Alliance was the most powerful mage organization on the Aindor Continent, so Matthew would not miss out on it.
The various arrangements made by Great Mage Ronan warmed his heart.
“What? Are you going to leave now?”
The tower genie was playing with the small automaton while looking at Matthew casually.
Matthew revealed an embarrassed smile. “Actually, I have another request.”
The tower genie said straightforwardly, “Why the need to be so polite? We are the first two founders of the Ronan Must Die organization. We are inseparable. you nave anytmng to say, just say It!”
Matthew directly ignored the traitor’s declaration in his words.
He took out the glass bottle from his bag.
“I know you’ve been lonely, so I found you a companion. Of course, I have my own requirements. I hope you can train him well. When I return to take him away from you next, I hope to get an obedient little guy.”
As he spoke, he smashed the bottle on the ground. Caw, caw, caw!
After the bottle shattered, a frog jumped out.
The tower genie said unhappily,” Hey, Matthew, what do you think I am? You want me to train some creatures?! Do you think I’m a brothel’s madam?
“Besides, I’m not willing to play with any creature. I have my own interests, hobbies, and preferences. Look at what you’ve brought me. A frog? I’m not interested at all!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the frog’s body expanded rapidly, turning into a ridiculously fat Troll.
“Who was it that woke Sinwak up from his sleep?!”
The Troll roared in dissatisfaction.
There was a crisp bang.
Matthew saw the tower genie smash Automaton 1001 into a wall far away,
“Oh, son, you’re still young. You can’t watch the next training scene.”
Tower Genie 177 stared at the Troll’s fleshy body.
His expression became more and more playful.
Back home.
Matthew wanted to go to the lord’s mansion first to discuss with Zeller about becoming a consultant.
However, just as he was about to leave, the town’s postman unexpectedly brought him a letter.
The envelope was very large, and the edges were decorated with green tree patterns. There was also a beautiful bow tied with silver satin.
The address of the letter was displayed.
This letter came from the Holy City of the Wood Elves, the Jade Court.
Matthew pondered for a moment and opened the letter.
A faint fragrance assaulted his senses.
