Chapter 740: The Original Believer and the Lotus of the Mother
Translator: Lonelytree
“So, why are you telling me this?”
Mary Joshua smiled at him.
“I hope you can help us control the gods after reincarnation!”
Matthew looked troubled.
” But I’m just a mage who became a necromancer halfway through. I’ve indeed mastered the cloning spell, but my spells are probably not worth mentioning in front of the gods.”
Mary Joshua suddenly leaned over.
She sized Matthew up with an ambiguous look, and the tip of her nose almost touched Matthew’s lips.
“Don’t be so humble, mentor.”
She emphasized the word mentor.
In the next second.
Mary Joshua whispered in his ear in a soft voice,
“Send my regards to Mr. Edmond.”
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.
” His Snake Mountain Order and the Order of Calamity had a few tacit operations before, and we had a very pleasant cooperation.
” As for you, there’s no need to be so surprised. The Tree Mage is also a famous character in the South. We can’t possibly not be wary.
” Your concealment is perfect, but the Sun God Battle Angel of the past couldn’t conceal her temperament.”
Mary smiled and said,
“The only thing I’m not satisfied with is that your control of negative energy is too superb. I really didn’t feel anything that night.”
Matthew took half a step back and shook his head with a smile.
He looked embarrassed on the surface, but in fact, he was already on guard.
He didn’t let his guard down because of Mary’s friendly attitude. He was in a den of thieves, and no matter how wonderful Mary described the vision of the original believers.
Matthew wouldn’t let his mind go.
“I’ve already disguised the Tauren skeleton as a barbarian skeleton. I didn’t expect to be discovered.”
He pretended to shrug his shoulders indifferently.
“Next time I join your organization, I’ll remember to let her stay at home.”
Mary Joshua smiled gently.
” Our organization has always been open to you and Your Excellency Battle Angel.
” As long as this cooperation can be achieved, we are willing to pay unimaginable chips for you and the Battle Angel.
” More importantly, if we work together, we can personally bury those vermin of the Heavenly Palace. Isn’t that a great thing?”
Matthew shook his head.
“I don’t know anything about reincarnation techniques, and I’ve only grasped the basics of cloning techniques. I’m afraid it’s very difficult for me to help.”
Mary Joshua said without a change in expression,
” But either Lady Isabelle or Lady Suria is fine.”
Matthew pondered and said,
“I need to talk to them.”
Mary Joshua said calmly,
” We have plenty of time for you to exchange opinions with the two Holy Masters. We can even offer you a higher level of sincerity.
” No one knows the source of the chaos in the Watcher Highland better than we do. All the information you want to know is in our hands.
” Cooperating with us is beneficial to the Alliance. We all hope that the gods will fail in their reincarnation. At this critical juncture, the Seven Saint Alliance also needs a victory to boost their morale. What do you think?”
Matthew nodded slightly.
“I will pass on your opinion to them.”
No matter what, he had to agree first.
As for whether or not to cooperate with the Order of Calamity, Matthew himself was definitely inclined to deny it.
Who knew how much of the truth these cultists were speaking?
However, this did not stop him from putting on a show.
” Since you’re willing to show your sincerity, I want to know why the three evil organizations attacked the Druid Church’s sacred land.”
Matthew took the opportunity to raise his conditions.
Mary was quite generous.
She immediately said,
” The mission of the Order of Calamity is to occupy the Underground Sanctuary and seize the souls of nature sealed inside to be used as vessels for the sea elf reincarnation spell by the gods.
” Some evil art masters who believe in the gods will risk their lives for this, but we original believers are not interested in it. We are even willing to drag them down. It would be best if we could make the gods fail in their reincarnation.
” The Church of Wither’s goal is even simpler and cruder.
“They wanted to completely destroy the Druid Order and obtain a change in the legendary path of the natural domain!
“This was a conflict of collective fate.
“It was a natural conflict between the Withered and the Druids.
“The leader of the Witherers is a guy called the Withered King. I don’t know much about him, but this guy must have the strength of a Legend!
“Behind the Withering King was the mysterious Mother of Decay.
“All the Witherers called her mother.
“The Mother of Decay is suspected to be the same as the Great Evil Demon Trier that our Church believes in. They are both avatars of a certain god of the Heavenly Palace.
“The only difference was…
“The Mother of Corrosion must have used a very extreme method to reincarnate in advance.
“The reason why she didn’t appear in the public eye was that she wanted to exchange for more time to develop.
“If you want to attack the Witherer.
“Then the King of Wither and the Mother of Decay will be two very troublesome enemies.”
At this point.
Mary Joshua paused and said in a hoarse voice,
“I’m a little thirsty. The milk you gave me that night was not bad. Can I have another glass?”
Matthew took out a glass of milk and handed it over.
Mary’s eyes curved as she moistened her throat.
” As for the last one, the Whale Hunters Organization, they have not actually reached a real cooperation with us. The three parties are just acting in tacit agreement.
” The Whale Hunters are a rather mysterious organization. Their higher-ups are cursed from the astral plane, and they control mysterious and powerful psionic powers.
“One of the whale hunters’ goals was to destroy the Void Whale.
“Their queen, Madam Hauss, believed that there was a warship buried under the Druid Church that could allow them to return to their hometown.
“They took action because of this.
“However, the number of whale hunters is small, and their methods are cruel and fierce. Our people have not had much contact with the whale hunters.
“But according to my observations.
“The Druids suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the whale hunters. I’m afraid it’s because they don’t know enough about psionic power.”
A cursed person from the astral plane?
Spiritual energy?
And it wasn’t the space undead army of the Antu Empire?
“People of Giza.”
The name of this proud race appeared in Matthew’s mind.
Then, he was a little puzzled.
If the Order of Withering and the Order of Calamity were acting together under the orders of the gods of the Heavenly Family, was it really just a coincidence that the Whale Hunters Organization had joined?
He had a feeling that Mary was hiding something from him.
Those things were the fundamental reasons why the Watcher Highlands had fallen into this situation!
Matthew was about to continue asking.
However, at this moment, there was some movement outside the house of concealment.
Mary Joshua’s expression changed.
She made a secret gesture to Matthew.
Then, she unbuttoned a few buttons on her clothes, twisted her body, and quickly walked out.
Outside the house.
There was a thick, choking smell.
Within the clouds.
Eternal Night Angel Freiner sneered as she looked at Mary’s dishevelled appearance.
She cursed,
“Stinky bitch!
“Carry my body back!”
As she spoke.
She stumbled and fell.
Matthew leaned over to take a look.
Freiner was already unconscious.
Mary Joshua expressionlessly ordered her men to carry Freiner’s body back into the strange water ball.
A moment later.
A bubble was automatically formed in the water ball and wrapped around it.
After that, they sealed it with oak planks.
The matter finally came to an end.
After that, Mary was busy.
While she ordered the people to repair the tunnel formed by the earth-digging worms, she ordered everyone to continue carrying out the mission.
Matthew passed by Zangula and gave him a look that said he had been exposed.
Just as the latter was stunned.
A hurried voice was heard.
“Lotus!
“The lotus has appeared in advance!”
Matthew narrowed his eyes.
The person who spoke seemed to be a scout.
“What is the lotus flower?” he asked.
Mary Joshua’s voice came from behind.
“The sign of all things withering and crumbling.
” It’s also the time that the Cult of Wither and we agreed to launch the joint attack.
” These bastards, hehe, they actually acted ahead of time. Let’s go up and take a look!”
The group left the underground in a hurry.
Just as they reached the surface from the exit.
Matthew saw a huge yellow lotus flower appear in the centre of Cross City, not far away!
That lotus blotted out the sky and was continuously spitting out balls of yellow meat!
