The Dark Knight and the Order of Calamity

..

Cleaning up the battlefield was hard work.

However, if there were rich spoils of war to take.

The situation was different.

Matthew grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them into a small mud jar, then placed them into the dimensional space of the Magical Bag. The pleasant sound of metal rolling could be heard throughout the entire process.

“There is no sound more pleasant than this.”

The arsonist was extremely wealthy.

In addition to the one he took from the cellar.

Matthew had earned more than 500 gold coins overnight!

In the past three years.

Even when his financial situation was at its best, it was less than one-tenth of what it was now.

“This money can be used to buy a lot of green liquid. Perhaps I can consider buying a higher-level catalyst tool…This meant that many more trees could be planted this spring!”

Other than gold coins, the wealth of items on Heiss blinded Matthew, a poor villager.

Blazing Glue, Molotov Cocktail, Fiery Dragon Oil…These were all good materials for arson.

In a low-level encounter.

These items could unleash unimaginable power.

Without these items, Matthew would have flattened them long ago!

Now.

The remaining items were in Matthew’s hands.

Of course, he wouldn’t use them recklessly because the undead were naturally afraid of fire.

It was just that he had to be more careful when using it.

It wouldn’t be good if he hurt his underlings.

..

[You have used Identification on the Ring of Invisibility (Unidentified)!]

The appraisal was successful, and your identification skill proficiency +10.

[Ring of Invisibility (Level 1 Rare Item): Wear this on your index or middle finger, and you can enter an invisible state at any time. Can be used nine times per day.]

[Attribute: Perception +1]

[Remark 1 1: When in stealth mode, you cannot move, attack, or cast spells. Otherwise, the invisibility effect will disappear.]

[Remark 2: You still have the ability to collide with the target when you are invisible. If you collide with someone else, the invisibility effect will disappear.]

..

” This is more like a ‘concealment ring’.”

Matthew looked at the silver-white ring with a black snake pattern with great interest.

This wondrous item was still far from being a true Ring of Invisibility.

However, it could be used more often and did not require any casting actions.

[Perception +1] attribute upgrade is also worthy of the identity of a first-grade strange object.

He polished the ring.

Then, he put it on his middle finger.

The rest of the things were a little lackluster.

There was still half a bottle of [Advanced Sprint Potion] left. He could use it for himself in the future.

He did not know which city the Silver Frost Brotherhood was from, nor did he know the importance of this token. It was too troublesome to throw it in the junk pile.

As for those illusion scrolls, they were even more comical.

Matthew did not expect Heiss’ shiny muscles to be the effect of an illusion.

This guy was actually less than 1.7 meters tall.

The flesh on his body was also loose.

There were no signs of training at all.

“Perhaps he thinks that kind of appearance will help him burn, kill, and pillage…”

Matthew looked up at the arsonist on the ground.

Heiss still had the same horrified expression on his face when he died.

The knife marks on his shoulder and the hole in his chest made the corpse look even more terrifying.

On the surface of the corpse.

The dark red spots were still spreading tirelessly.

It was the ” Rotten Spore ” that Matthew had previously scattered into the air.

After these spores were inhaled by people, it would rapidly form an extremely itchy sac of decay on the surface of the human body.

The Sac of Decay was a creature from the Negative Plane.

It could replenish negative energy for necromancers in battle.

Matthew currently has the ability ” Rotten Sac Mastery “.

When the level was high, he could also detonate the Sac of Decay, control the Sac of Decay, and control the infected through the Sac of Decay!

This was the terrifying aspect of necromancers.

..

Heiss’ [Toughness] and [Immunity] were ridiculously high.

His followers had long since succumbed to the infection, but the sacs only appeared on Heiss’ body after his death.

Crackle!

The sacs on Heiss’ body popped like fireworks.

Low crisp sounds rose and fell.

Matthew immediately stopped reading the secret letter.

“We have to deal with it first, or it will be too ugly.”

He took out a dark green bottle from his Magical Bag.

Puff.

The cork was pulled out.

A group of butterflies that were flickering with green light flew out.

They flew around Matthew a few times.

Then, they impatiently stopped on Heiss and the other corpses.

As the green light moved across the surface of the corpse.

The dark red marks were mostly gone.

This was the Phantom Butterfly, a creature from the negative energy plane.

The Phantom Butterfly fed on the Sac of Decay and its spores, making it a good scavenger.

Matthew rarely used the Sac of Decay.

Every time he used it, he would definitely use the Phantom Butterfly to clean up the surrounding environment. This had nothing to do with the system. It was purely his own little obsession with cleanliness.

If the rotten spores were allowed to spread, the environment there would soon become similar to the negative energy plane.

This was the reason why most necromancers lived in terrible environments.

They were not as particular as Matthew.

..

The Phantom Butterfly only fed on the Sac of Decay.

Once there was insufficient food, it would quickly die.

Matthew followed the philosophy of ‘go big or go home’.

He didn’t stop until the fluorescent lights all over the mountain were so green that they were dazzling.

Next was the disposal of the bodies of the arsonists.

This was Matthew’s first time coming into contact with such a complete and fresh corpse.

He was still a little nervous when dealing with it.

The followers of the five arsonists.

Except for the one who was smashed into meat paste by Peggy at the beginning.

The other four could be summoned as zombies.

Their physiques were not bad.

Scarface even had a chance to become an elite zombie!

Matthew used ” Corpse Oil ” and ” Secret Water of Negative Plane” to simply embalm their bodies.

After that, he ordered the skeleton soldiers to drag the others into his secret cave.

Zombies were far more powerful than skeletons.

Correspondingly, the process of summoning zombies was much more troublesome than summoning skeletons.

He needed to think about it carefully.

..

The corpse of Heiss the Arsonist was an excellent material.

In Baiyan City.

The corpse of such a 3rd rank adventurer would definitely be sold at a high price by the necromancers.

This was because it was the best material to make a high-level undead summon, the Dark Knight.

Matthew did not have the ability to make dark knights yet.

This was after level 12.

And he had not even advanced to that level yet.

It was still far away.

For now.

The options in front of Matthew were as follows:

..

First, store the corpse and take it out when he had the ability to make dark knights.

Second, transport it to Baiyan City and sell it at a high price.

Third, turn Heiss into a zombie and nurture it into a Zombie King.

Fourth, bury him in the oak forest to see if there were any ‘gifts of nature’.

..

“Let’s eliminate the second and third first.”

Matthew’s eyes flickered.

He did not lack money.

Moreover, it was too wasteful to use a Tier 3 corpse as a zombie. It was not easy to nurture a Zombie King, and there was a 99% chance that it would be a loss.

And between ” Dark Knight ” and ” Gift of Nature ”

Matthew hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he still chose the fourth option.

He wasn’t coveting Heiss’ ability.

More than that, he wanted to explore the mechanism of Nature’s Gift.

“If it really doesn’t work out, I can dig the body out again.

“Granted, that will reduce the integrity of the corpse, and the combat power of the dark knight will be greatly reduced.”

Once he made his decision.

Matthew no longer hesitated.

He found a good place in the oak forest to bury Heiss’ body.

At the same time, he dealt with the victims at the farm.

The skeleton soldiers had average fighting abilities, but they were good at manual labor.

He found a piece of barren land to the north of the farm and buried everyone.

Only then did Matthew have the free time to read the secret letter.

A few minutes later.

Matthew’s expression changed slightly.

..

[To like-minded people:

The Heavenly Change was a foregone conclusion. Yurkus had awakened and was watching everyone on this continent. In time, his great power would make the hearts of the world tremble.

[The structure of the world is changing. In the near future, the heavenly fire and seawater will pour into the inland, and every piece of land we are familiar with will become an endless purgatory.

[I have received reliable news that the Southern Guardian Ronan is trapped in the Astral Plane, the Eastern Guardian and the Evil Dragon in the Sea have both suffered heavy losses, the Western Guardian disappeared many years ago, and the Northern Guardian has never crossed the Heavenly Chasm Mountains.

[Witherer, Evil Art Master, Inheritor of the Path of the Undead, Avenger, Red-Letter Hunter, Voodoo Descendant, Arsonist, Conspirer… Don’t be afraid anymore. This is the time for us to rise up and walk the dark path!

..

[We have established a stronghold in the secret area northeast of Rolling Stone Town, and we welcome every brother and sister who has been summoned to come and join us in this great event.

[Written by Fein, Southern Shepherd of the Order of Calamity.]

..

The above was the content of the secret letter.

There were also many provocative words in the letter. The general idea was to encourage all kinds of evil adventurers to come out and cause trouble. It was as if there would be no chance if they did not cause trouble then.

Matthew was not interested in these things.

What he cared about was…

The person in the letter claimed to have established a stronghold north of Rolling Stone Town.

He was going to hold a blood sacrifice to please the Void Ruler, Yurkus.

And after this blood sacrifice…

He would obtain supreme power and could easily flatten Rolling Stone Town. He would also attract the heavenly fire and burn everything.

“Burn everything?”

Matthew frowned deeply.

This heretic cult believer called Fein was more or less reckless.

The truth was clear.

..

Bloody Robes in the Karst cave;

Sif. Suki’s Kidnapping;

The arrival of the arsonist;

The intercepted merchant;

..

All of this pointed to ‘Fein’ and the Order of Calamity!

Matthew looked at the mission panel.

As expected.

After he finished reading the secret letter.

The mission changed.

..
