…

"You know me?"

Matthew looked at Viscount Fan warily.

This guy gave Matthew a very subtle feeling. His entire body was shrouded in a cloak, and the cloak itself seemed to blend into the night.

He was clearly standing there.

But if they don't perceive it in detail, people tend to ignore his existence.

It's not even a question of high or low perception.

Matthew speculated that he probably had some kind of constant spell or ability that made people subconsciously ignore him.

Therefore, it also gives people a very unnatural feeling when talking to him.

It's like...

Talking to the air.

Fan Zijue laughed and took a step forward.

That moment.

Only then did Matthew truly feel his existence.

It was as if he suddenly transformed from air into a real living creature!

"I want to discuss cooperation with you."

Fan Zijue got straight to the point.

Matthew frowned:

"But I don't understand you at all."

Fan Zijue smiled lowly:

"This does not prevent us from establishing a cooperative relationship. I bet that after you hear me talk about the content of cooperation, you will be very willing to cooperate with me."

Matthew showed an expression of willingness to hear the details.

Fan Zijue's voice was full of confidence:

"You should have heard of my name. I have a small influence in the Demonic Realm of Ravenloft."

"But as a messenger from the underworld, it is always inconvenient for me to enter the main material world. Therefore, when I need to carry out activities in the main material world, I have to find some suitable partners."

"I believe you have guessed that you are not the first partner I am looking for, nor will you be the last."

Matthew pursed his lips subconsciously.

A small force?

The Demon Realm of Ravenloft is the largest force in the underworld, and Viscount Fan's "Spirit Touched Hall" is the unequivocal overlord of the Demonic Realm of Ravenloft. If he only has a small power, then there are not many organizations in the world that can be said to be big.

Matthew had heard of Viscount Fan's name before when he entered the realm of eclipse.

After that, he crammed in a lot of knowledge about the underworld.

I also have some general understanding of the current situation in the underworld——

Long before Tianlun Palace ascended to the palace.

The God of Death had a conflict with the Scourge Mage, and was beaten into a strange state where he was about to die.

Correspondingly, the kingdom of Death has also become precarious, and has been in a state of collapse for many years.

The underworld, as the kingdom of death in a broad sense, has also been greatly affected, and many laws have fallen apart.

Hundreds of years later.

Udyr, the eldest son of the God of Death, inherited his bronze city of the underworld. He managed to maintain the order of the city and the underworld by using long-sleeved dance skills to balance the gods and demons.

But this situation is actually not stable.

According to the information found by Matthew, in order to repair the internal loopholes and stability of the "Bronze Hades City" caused by the collapse of the God of Death, Udyr teamed up with the Maidens of Pain, Sisters of Desire, Dusk Creation Gailan, and the Evil Queen from Tianlun Palace

Powerful beings such as Babasha have signed harsh contracts.

This seriously affected the authority of Bronze Hades City.

The most disrespectful thing about Udyr, the eldest son of the God of Death, is the envoys of the underworld who were entrusted by the God of Death in the early years.

Fan Zijue is one of them.

These messengers from the underworld are similar to the separatist princes. Most of them manage the laws of the underworld in their own territories and completely ignore the orders of the Bronze Underworld City.

Fortunately, the laws of the underworld are relatively perfect, and the dead are easier to manage than the living.

Therefore, although the underworld has always been in a relatively loose state, there have been few major disturbances over the years.

And in the process of checking relevant information.

Matthew also learned the whereabouts of the other two of the three sons of Death——

After Maibalon, the second son of the God of Death, failed in his attempt to merge the two realms of nature and death, he sealed himself in his fiefdom "Eternal Death Realm" in an almost half-crazy state, and has not yet communicated with the outside world;

The third son, Tres, is the most powerful one. He firmly believes that the God of Death is not really dead.

So while Tres organized believers in the human world to continue to promote the faith of Death and maintain his fire in the material world, he continued to go deep into the star realm, looking for the location where Death's collapsed form was projected in the star realm, and actively sought a way to rescue him.

However, in this case, he no longer had the energy to help his elder brother Udyr rectify the phenomenon of underworld messengers standing on the mountain.

There are hundreds of "domains" within the underworld itself.

Among them, "Ravenloft Demon Realm" was a prison used to imprison the spirits of heinous people.

The spirit suppressed in the prison was at least a ruthless person who started out as a legend.

From this it is not difficult to speculate on Fan Zijue's strength.

After all, in the Demonic Territory of Ravenloft under his rule, no powerful prisoner has ever been heard of escaping from prison.

The above thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind quickly.

He looked at Fan Zijue calmly:

"I don't object to cooperation with people from the underworld, but I heard that one of your collaborators has a notorious existence, which inevitably makes me a little worried."

Matthew is naturally referring to "The Scarlet Letter Slayer".

The legendary rogue who has been confirmed to be the creator of the "Bander City Massacre", and the "White Poplar Village Massacre" in Jade Cangting are also closely related to Sen'er.

Furthermore, Sener is also the mentor of "Selrunk" who is suspected of being a Thousand Changer.

All kinds of coincidences filled Matthew with doubts.

Fan Zijue thought for a moment and replied:

"If your concern is about the thief named Sener, I can only say sorry."

"But I'm not a living person. I can't use your living people's values ​​​​or concepts of good and evil to measure something or a person."

"The only thing I care about is the order of the underworld, and my cooperation with Sen'er is limited to this. I am not interested in the tragedies he caused in the material world. That is something that should be dealt with between you living people, and me, a dead person in the underworld.

It doesn’t matter.”

Matthew frowned instinctively.

Fan Zijue's words can only be said to be quite sincere.

Matthew asked:

"Is there no basic good and evil in the underworld?"

Fan Zijue replied without hesitation:

"Yes, but it is not my job to judge the good and evil in life."

"As you can see, I just want to complete my duties."

"My understanding of the world is very simple. As long as everyone can perform their duties and do not exceed their limits, the world will not be too bad."

Matthew nodded imperceptibly.

It's not that he agrees with Fan Zijue's philosophy, but he can barely understand the other person's way of looking at things from the perspective of an emissary from the underworld.

"So, the content of your cooperation with me is the same as Sener's?"

Matthew asked.

Fan Zijue nodded:

"I hope you can help me combat the increasingly rampant phenomenon of "soul theft" or "soul retention" in the material world."

"Soul theft?"

Matthew was a little surprised.

This thing sounds like the professional counterpart of the Necromancer, but if you insist on speaking, isn't the Necromancer the biggest soul thief?

After all, ghosts need spiritual transformation.

He looked at Fan Zijue in confusion.
