Chapter 402: Why Do You Mages Learn Everything

Translator: Lonelytree

The larvae would stay in the pond as tadpoles for a full 90 days. During this period, the temperature of the pond must be kept warm enough. Otherwise, the tadpoles would have the possibility of freezing to death.

In these 90 days, the tadpoles would complete their abnormal development and transform into young frogmen, and they would be able to go ashore.

However, young frogmen usually needed 18 to 24 months of care to grow into young frogmen.

After that, they needed to spend the same amount of time before they could enter the breeding period.

Compared to the Kobolds, Gnomes, and Gnolls, the cost of reproduction for the Frogmen was relatively high.

It was no wonder that the female frogman would go crazy.

‘ Master Mage, our Shaman said that he saw this woman with another Mage through the tracking spell. They had planned this.” The warrior leader looked at Matthew nervously.

Matthew replied firmly,

If there really were mages involved, it would definitely be rogue mages, not mages from the Alliance.”

The warrior leader forced out an ugly smile.

“That’s for sure, that’s for sure!”

Matthew wasn’t just messing around.

He now had a good understanding of the Alliance’s style. If they needed something like this, they wouldn’t steal it.

They would directly snatch it.

At this moment, the woman’s Immobilizing Spell had worn off. She was firmly suppressed by Rheagar and could only shout at the top of her lungs,

“They’re lying! Those monsters are lying. Please don’t believe them. They are evil monsters. As for me, we are all humans. We are compatriots. Shouldn’t the words of compatriots be more credible? They are deceiving you!”

Matthew looked at her calmly.

“I will only give you one chance. Tell me who is lying.

” You should know that ‘lie detection’ is a common spell for every mage.

By the way, let me introduce myself. I’m a necromancer. If you dare to lie to me, you should know the consequences, right?”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Soldier slowly emerged from the shadows. The exposed bones made the woman tremble in fear.

The Mad Frogmen were also frightened and started to chatter.

“Now, answer me.”

At this moment, in the woman’s eyes, Matthew was filled with an evil aura.

She could only plead,

I’m sorry, sir. I had no choice. I didn’t want to do this. It was Master Spencer who instructed me to do this. If I didn’t listen to him, he would…”

The begging stopped abruptly.

Rheagar took out a rag from somewhere and stuffed it into her mouth.

“The truth is out! How do you plan to deal with it?” he asked.

Matthew muttered,

Hand her over to the mad frogmen and let them deal with it themselves. The crime of stealing a child is unforgivable to any race.”

Rheagar grabbed the woman and dragged her over without any mercy.

Rheagar handed the woman to the frogman.

The warrior leader looked grateful, and the rest of the frogmen nodded and bowed to the two of them.

Matthew asked,

“Are there any particularly big trees nearby?”

After entering the moss-green hills.

Enemy of the Forest’s tracking effect was greatly reduced.

This did not mean that the effect of the ritual magic had lost its effectiveness, but it was interfered with by another kind of magic power.

It was obviously from the Witherers.

This was normal.

Prophecy and tracking spells were often disturbed by the target.

The Witherers didn’t necessarily realize that Matthew had targeted them, but as a criminal organization that wasn’t welcomed by mainstream society, they would probably update the anti-reconnaissance spells around the camp from time to time.

The coordinates in Matthew’s mind were becoming more and more blurry.

What he could vaguely see was a very rare tree in the hilly area.

It was most convenient to ask the natives about this matter.

As expected.

The warrior leader immediately replied,

“Walk in this direction, and after passing through nineteen mountains, you will see a very large tree. That is the ‘Falling Snow Tree’, also known as the’ Ominous Tree’. Lord Shaman warned us not to go near there. The wild beasts near the ominous tree are more dangerous than ordinary ones.” The Tree of Falling Snow?

Matthew felt a little strange and asked about the origin of this name.

The warrior leader replied,

” That tree has snowflakes all year round. However, those snowflakes are not cold. They are wet and hot. It is very uncomfortable when they fall on the skin. It makes people irritable and makes them want to hug or fight.” It might be the Witherer’s warning method.

Matthew thought that he had found the right direction.

However, he asked, “Are there any monsters near the Moss Green Hills?” The warrior leader thought for a moment.

“Most of the areas don’t have them. At most, there are some mountain wolves and leopards.

“It was said that there was a Chimera living on a high mountain in the north of the hills. However, it usually moved further north. That was the human’s mountain pasture, and there were many sheep for it to eat.

“Then, there was a monastery on a strange hill in the northwest. The mages of the Alliance had blocked the area with Rune Wolves, and there were many monks and knights wandering around.

“Finally, there was the Tree of Falling Snow. There were some monsters nearby.

“Some are very powerful, some are just average. If you want to go there, you must be careful.”

Matthew nodded in his heart. What the warrior leader said was basically the same as what he had researched in advance.

The monastery was called the Sunset Monastery, and there were some Death Monks and Death Knell Knights active inside..
