A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees
Chapter 969: Redefine Grave Robbing

"After that, the Evil Crown changed owners a few more times.

"However, the story behind it was lacking.

"Throughout history, there were many ambitious people who tried to replace the Evil Crown.

"They were not coveting the power within, but they had heard a rumour.

"It was said that the prince who took the crown had been determined to restore the country for the rest of his life.

"For this reason, he had buried a huge amount of wealth and resources in the treasury of the Giant Demon Holy Land, Blood-Drinking Mountain.

"And the only key to open this treasure vault.

"It is the Crown of Sin!"

After Linden finished speaking.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Matthew glanced at Lorraine, who nodded at him, indicating that Linden was telling the truth.

"If that's the case, the Green Dragon Fattina entrusted us to replace the Evil Crown. It's very likely that she's going for the Blood-Drinking Mountain's treasure vault!

"But she doesn't seem to care if we can really replace the crown. Could it be that for her, as long as we enter the tomb to replace the crown, we can achieve our goal?"

Matthew frowned in deep thought.

He recalled the news about the establishment of the Troll Kingdom in the North.

Matthew deeply suspected that the Green Dragon Fattina might have already established a connection with the Troll Kingdom!

The people of the Troll Kingdom definitely knew more about the Sin Crown than Linden.

Perhaps they had some way to obtain this treasure through all kinds of unimaginable methods.

As for the grave robbers recruited by the Green Dragon.

They would probably become a stepping stone for others.

" But this has nothing to do with us. We're only here to explore the ancient aura. We don't really intend to help the green dragon replace the Evil Crown."

Matthew composed himself.

He glanced at Linden.

Although this guy was crazy, he did have some real talent.

After all, there were very few historical records left behind by the Troll Empire.

Most of the information was passed down through the long-lived race's mouth to form a secondary processing.

But Linden was different.

He had the ability to listen to historical echoes. This was an extremely unique ability. He could understand his origins and related history from the whispers of ancient objects.

" This guy's Perception is definitely not lower than 19 points!"

Matthew looked at Linden deeply, and then another doubt rose in his heart.

" 19 points of Intuition and 15 points of Intelligence. Why didn't such a person become a mage?

"Isn't this a little unreasonable?"

Matthew sized up Linden seriously and secretly threw various identification methods at him.

Not long after.

On the data panel.

..

[Hint: You have noticed that Linden's soul has been imprinted with a special brand, 'Ether Outcast'!]

[Ether Outcast: This person is deeply hated by the ether. He will never be able to use magic!]

..

Matthew was slightly shocked. ϺᏙᒪΞϺƤΥƦ.ϽΘᎷ

What did this guy do to be blacklisted by all the ether?

" Playing with elemental lifeforms?

" Not to that extent. Many mages are very open and even abuse elemental creatures. I've never seen them being blacklisted by Ether to this extent."

Matthew was puzzled.

As if sensing Matthew's gaze, Linden turned around.

Fortunately, due to Camela's tyrannical power, he looked at Matthew with fear in his eyes. He only took a glance and did not dare to look at him anymore.

"He doesn't seem to be a very courageous person. Could it be that this mark is innate?"

Matthew thought to himself.

The group of people talked as they walked, and they passed through the stone house area smoothly.

Along the way.

They also found many tools left behind from the Troll era.

Unfortunately, most of the tools had no spirituality. They could only be said to have some historical value, but they were not worth much.

Occasionally, some gold could be found in the corners of the ruins.

However, they were extremely rare.

And most of them had been cleaned up by Matthew's Undead.

The others had almost no chance of getting their hands on it.

The further west they went, the higher the terrain became. After leaving the stone house area, they came to the surface from the semi-underground space.

It was not difficult to deduce.

In a long period of time, at least half of the Jade Capital City had sunk underground.

However, the remaining space that had not sunk underground was also shrouded in darkness.

Matthew looked around.

As far as the naked eye could see, other than ruins, there were endless green vines.

This vine was the green barrier they had seen before, and it was also the ritual ground used by the wood elves to seal the Jade Capital City.

Under the cover of the barrier that covered the sky.

There was only an extremely narrow hole left in the sky. Occasionally, sunlight would seep in from above, but it could not dispel the shadow that had been accumulated for thousands of years.

Fortunately, although the environment here was oppressive and humid, it did not seem to breed particularly powerful monsters.

Along the way.

They only encountered two Treasure Chest Monsters, a well-hidden Trapper, and a group of Man-eating Vines mixed in with the vines.

Of course, these monsters could not stop them from advancing.

In fact, the others didn't even need to make a move.

Matthew's undead was enough to settle all of this.

Just like that, an hour passed.

The group arrived at the entrance of the Giant Demon Underground Palace.

Compared to the graceful and elegant buildings of the elves, the houses built by the trolls were mainly majestic.

The first thing that entered his sight were eight stone pillars that soared into the sky.

It was a familiar cylindrical shape.

It was similar to totem worship.

At the top of each pillar was a corresponding stone ring.

The entrance to the underground palace was a cemetery. There were dense pine and cypress trees planted on both sides, but these plants had died over a long period of time and became nourishment for the strange vines.
