This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 2015 - 583 The Secret of the Chain of Desire and the Spirit of Aversion_3

"But, the matter was exposed.

The Alliance began to investigate, and we shifted the blame onto Hex. Not long after, Isabelle captured her at Black Suo Mount."

"Dickens and I thought the matter would end there, so we hid back in Baiyan City."

"Then one day."

"Edmond arrived at Baiyan City."

"He came to hold Dickens and me accountable. Right from the start, he said he would exile us to the Arcane Wilderness and imprison us in a jail prepared in advance by the Alliance for prisoners."

"Although Dickens and I were on high alert, we thought at the time, with only Edmond, he might not be our match, and there might still be a chance to escape."

"But who could have predicted."

"Edmond simply took out a divine artifact that looked like the Chain of Desire, and completely subdued us both...

After that, this is how you find us, both Dickens and I were imprisoned, until today..."

Something that looks like the Chain of Desire?

Matthew suddenly thought of something.

"Exactly."

Dania said with a bitter smile:

"It was a part of the Chaos Chain extracted from Isabelle’s body."

"She had long known of our plan, so she deliberately used the Chaos Chain to suppress the effects of the Chain of Desire, causing the punishment for breaking our oath to be delayed."

"On the day Edmond came with her Chaos Chain, she directly triggered all the punishments and backlash of the Chain of Desire against us for breaking the oath."

"The backlash was so terrifyingly immense, and of course, we had no strength left to resist Edmond’s exile..."

Such a thing could happen?

Isabelle indeed is an expert at fishing, and Edmond is no good person either!

Matthew rubbed his chin, instinctively replied:

"That was somewhat despicable..."

Dania also complained:

"Who wouldn’t think so?"

"If Isabelle hadn’t suppressed the power of the Chain of Desire, perhaps we wouldn’t have gone so far with the forbidden project."

"If we had been punished for minor violations from the start, then the severe backlash might not have occurred at all!"

"From this perspective, Isabelle truly didn’t regard us necromancers as human."

"In her eyes, we are like grass ready to be harvested, sheep and cattle to be slaughtered at will..."

Watching Dania’s complaints grow increasingly exaggerated.

Thinking of the teacher himself always watching from behind.

Matthew quickly made amends, saying:

"Perhaps she just wanted to test you."

"She wanted to see if you could achieve Temperance with self-discipline and inner strength without the constraint of the Chain of Desire."

Dania snorted:

"That’s exactly what Edmond said."

"That’s their excuse for deliberate indulgence!"

"But in essence, everyone knows it’s to suppress Baiyan City!"

"You have to understand, at that time, Baiyan City already had four legendary necromancers, and even more outstanding young talents were growing strong under the cultivation of the Chain of Desire."

"If it wasn’t with ulterior motives, would the Alliance have put a piece of fat like the Scar of the Dead in our mouths?"

"They’re all sinister at heart, with their so-called good intentions!"

"It’s nothing more than the victor’s history versus the defeated’s fate!"

Matthew almost wanted to applaud her words.

Dania’s thinking perfectly aligned with his own.

He also thought the teacher just wanted an excuse to take action against Baiyan City.

But that wasn’t something that could be said outright.

For now, Matthew vaguely said a few words and shifted the topic back to Dickens.

Dania informed Matthew.

Dickens’ current state was caused by the severe backlash of the Chain of Desire.

He has been completely assimilated by negative energy.

Becoming a humanoid aggregation of the negative energy domain.

A terrifying existence akin to a Domain Soul.

Matthew nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Thank you for clearing my doubts."

"Oh, and regarding that Artificial Legend plan you mentioned earlier, you’re referring to high-dimensional material, right?"

Dania immediately became excited:

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"That’s the stuff!"

"I only need a little bit!"

Matthew replied earnestly:

"I can give you some."

"But I’m sorry, not now."

"I need to observe for a while, and only after ensuring absolute safety will I provide you with enough high-dimensional material."

Dania’s voice suddenly turned sharp:

"Observe?"

"What else do you want to observe?

My project can be open to you, and you can take the files!

You can know whatever you want to know!

Just don’t drag it out!"

Matthew’s tone remained unhurried:

"I understand your urgency."

"But, given that you’re in a state of immortality, you shouldn’t be in such a hurry for time, right?"

"To be frank, I respect you, but I also need to be cautious of you."

"Your achievements in the domain of necromancy far surpass my understanding, and I cannot fully discern and judge them with my knowledge."

"The only way I can build more trust with you is by using enough time for observation."

Dania coldly said:

"How long do you need to observe?"

Matthew replied:

"Ten years, or maybe twenty."

"It depends specifically on the relationship between you and me."

Dania remained silent.

Matthew continued:

"If you’re truly in a hurry, I have an alternative plan."

"And that involves us signing this."

As he spoke.

Matthew unfolded a piece of parchment that already had some text written on it.

Then, using the Mage’s Hand to hold the quill.

He meticulously added a series of provisions and clauses on it.

Dania did not open her eyes.
