…

Hux looked at Matthew with surprise in his eyes:

"Is this your first reaction after learning that there is a way to eternal life in this world?"

"You really don't look like a young man."

Matthew smiled:

"Perhaps your Excellency underestimates young people?"

"Besides, there are many kinds of young people..."

Hux shook his head:

"No, in most cases, being sophisticated always requires time."

"Your reaction was too calm, as if you had rehearsed it in advance, or have you encountered similar scenes elsewhere?"

"In short, your performance is not like what a soul under thirty years old can do..."

Although Hux didn't hide his surprise in his words.

But Matthew also had to sigh in his heart——

The eyes of these legendary mages are so vicious!

It is indeed because of the lessons learned from Yongsheng Xianlan that he can remain as calm as he is now.

And Matthew's soul is indeed not as young as he appears.

It stands to reason.

Hux has lost his legendary mage powers.

But her instincts and perceptions are still so sharp.

This surprised Matthew.

However, he did not dwell on this topic for too long, but quickly got to the point:

"Tell me about what you people in Baiyan City did back then?"

"I heard that the city lord of that year, the Pale King Dickens, planned to resurrect the Mark of the Dead into a ghostly ghost?"

Hux nodded:

"This is the plan we submitted to the alliance."

Matthew asked curiously:

"Are you planning to use negative energy to replace ash energy?"

Hux said seriously:

"It's about covering, not replacing."

"The energy left by the Lord of the Void cannot disappear out of thin air, and it is almost impossible to digest this energy using the means of the material world. Therefore, the best way is to cover it. As long as it is covered properly, the energy from the void can be ensured.

It does not spill out and thus acts as a seal.”

"If the alliance approves, we intend to do so."

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, from the perspective of the Necromancer, this plan does have certain feasibility.

But the problem is.

Doing so is equivalent to handing the mobile bomb of the Mark of the Dead into the hands of Baiyan City——

The resurrected Death Touch will be an independent undead lord.

It will be the servant of the Necromancer of White Rock City.

The Mark of the Dead is contained in its belly.

Theoretically it's pretty solid.

But what about actually?

The alliance obviously doesn't trust Baiyan City that much.

Therefore, this plan was ultimately rejected by the alliance.

"Subsequently, we studied the Marks of the Dead from several other directions."

"We have found a way to extract the power of ashes. Through simple energy conversion and a little ancient alchemy ritual, we can extract a large amount of soul crystals, which makes us ecstatic."

"We are also very aware of the alliance's distrust of us. It is impossible for the divine mages to allow us to stay near the Mark of the Dead for a long time."

"So not long after, a consensus was reached within White Rock City, and all the necromancers joined forces to convert the power of ashes into high-purity soul crystals - during that time, we worked almost day and night..."

Refer to that past tense.

Hux's face was full of memories.

Matthew pinched his nose.

really.

Necromancers are always a virtue when facing high-quality soul crystals!

"Then you were expelled from the alliance?"

"The wood elves hate you because you did capture nearby creatures and put them into the Mark of the Dead in order to carry out the bad behavior of artificial soul crystals, right?"

Matthew made a rough guess.

Hux sighed and said:

"It's just what you think."

"Necromancers are a group of short-sighted scum, they have no honor at all!"

"I thought I could persuade Dania and Dickens to stop this exploitative behavior, but they promised well in words, but they did it even more harshly in private."

"I originally disdained being associated with them and was planning to leave, but at this moment, Daniya told me that while refining soul crystals at high speed, she accidentally discovered an incomplete transformation product——

She named that substance Ember Blood Crystal.

The appearance of the Ember Blood Crystal has shaken my position..."

Speaking of which.

Hux lowered his head in shame.

Matthew realized that this ember blood crystal might be the key to eternal life that Hux mentioned earlier:

"Have you glimpsed the realm of eternal life from this substance?"

Hux nodded:

"After experiments, we found that after taking an ember blood crystal, all creatures will immediately burn themselves, and their souls and bodies will be reduced to ashes."

"But as long as the ashes are carefully preserved, after seven days, a new life will crawl out of the ashes. If it is human ashes, then what crawls out of the ashes will be a newborn baby; if it is a bird or dragon,

, an egg will emerge from the ashes..."

"The newborn is pure white when he is born. Then when he grows to a certain age, he will suddenly awaken the memory of his previous life and regain his personality."

"Theoretically, as long as you have unlimited Ember Blood Crystals, you can repeat the process from infant to old age infinitely."

"Of course it's an eternal life!"

Matthew remained unmoved:

"I still want to know, what are the side effects of taking Ember Blood Crystals to regenerate?"

Hux smiled helplessly:

"We only completed one phase of experiments on humans, and were subsequently investigated by the alliance."

"Although we had destroyed all relevant information beforehand, Linde and Isabel, who were in charge at the time, still noticed something. They believed that our behavior violated the alliance's manual, and suspected that we had secretly carried out a taboo experiment. Then they

The three of us were rigorously pursued."

"In line with the previously agreed confidentiality contract, I refused to let go and did not reveal any information about the Ember Blood Crystal."

"However, these two scum, Dania and Dickens, immediately put all the blame on me."

"In this way, I became the scapegoat for the Ember Blood Crystal Project and White Rock City's previous behavior of releasing human beings into the Scar of the Dead."

"Because I was not angry about this matter, I fought with those two bastards, but I became the so-called traitor of Baiyan City, haha..."

Hux's expression was full of mockery.

She didn't know whether she was laughing at the two companions or herself.

"What happened next?"

Matthew asked:

"What happened to the two of them?"
