Chapter 312: Naga Said It Was Good!
Translator: Lonelytree
The first thing that appeared on the screen was a mushroom hut.
There was a group of acolytes near the cabin, looking bewildered.
There was a handsome man standing in the middle of the acolytes, commanding something.
He looked approachable.
Ten seconds later.
The man brought the apprentices to a barren land. He took out a shovel from somewhere and began to dig skillfully.
The acolyte beside him was focused on learning the digging technique.
After a while.
The man took out another twenty shovels and gestured for the apprentices to follow his example.
The scene shook violently.
In the next second.
Everyone saw that the man was planting trees, and there were still many acolytes watching.
At first, the big shots were rather patient. They just silently watched the apprentices watch the man plant the trees.
But gradually, everyone noticed that something was wrong.
Why were they still planting trees after such a long time?
Everyone looked at Isabelle.
Isabelle propped her hands up and pulled back her white hair.
“Don’t look at me. That’s how I finished watching it. Matthew obviously doesn’t know how to use a crystal ball, so he recorded a lot of miscellaneous things.”
The big shots had a subtle look in their eyes.
Edmond reminded,
“Can you fast-forward it?”
Isabelle thought for a moment.
“Yes, but this crystal ball is the cheapest version. It might not be easy to use.”
Edmond heaved a sigh of relief.
“Let me try.”
Then, he extended his right index finger and pointed at the crystal ball. Then, he pulled.
In the next second.
The screen changed to a bird’s-eye view.
They could clearly see a gully that looked like a protective umbrella at the end of the Scar of the Dead.
That was the Scorched Earth of Death! The scene stopped abruptly.
“Is it over?”
Edmond asked in surprise.
Isabelle nodded.
“You fast-forwarded too much. This is the last scene.” Among the six phantoms, someone slowly said,
“Pull it back a little, Edmond. We want to see how it goes.” Edmond slid his index finger again and said confidently, “No problem!
“I can adjust whatever you want to see for you… What.”
The reason why he was interrupted was because…
It was because a woman’s scream suddenly came from the crystal ball.
“Ahhhhh!”
Her voice almost interrupted Edmond.
The next scene was also shocking.
The scene suddenly changed to a dark cellar.
There were many wine barrels in the background, probably the wine cellar of a tavern.
In the centre of the scene, on the shelf of the wine cellar, a man and a woman were indulging in a strange posture.
The man’s expression was tense, and he gritted his teeth.
The woman’s face was twisted, and she looked like she was in pain. “Is this Matthew? Why does he look uglier than before?” a shadow asked.
“It’s time you changed your glasses, Roderick. Fortunately, you didn’t mistake the woman below for Matthew.” Another shadow teased.
Roderick was shocked.
“Is that a woman down there?”
This sentence made everyone silent.
Isabelle looked at the scene with relish and said,
“Test your prophecy, Roderick. If your prophecy is accurate, there is no need to wear glasses.”
Roderick was silent for three seconds before he quickly said,
“The man is called Rheagar, and the woman is called Jenny.
“The location of the incident was a private winery in the Craftsmen’s District of Rolling Stone Town.
“Rheagar was the lord of Rolling Stone Town, and he and Jenny had been lovers for a long time.
“Jenny’s nominal husband was called Brice. On the surface, he was an honest shoemaker, but in fact, he was a spy sent by the Highleaf Territory to Rolling Stone Town. He knew that his wife had an affair with Rheagar, but he had been holding back. His goal was to one day strike gold and make a great contribution.
“Jenny had a bad reputation in Rolling Stone Town. Everyone thought she was a slut. The reason was that every time Rheagar went to have an affair with her, he would pretend to be a different person. Sometimes, he was the coachman of the lord’s mansion; sometimes, he was the coachman; sometimes, he was the cook; and sometimes, he was the gardener.
“Later on, the rumour that Jenny did not reject anyone from the liege’s residence became more and more widespread. There were really people who came to her house in the middle of the night, and the result was naturally that they were beaten up by Jenny and thrown out the door.
“This woman had extraordinary combat abilities among mortals. She had many admirers, but she fell in love with Rheagar. No one knew if she was lucky or unlucky.
“Ah, I say, fate…”
Isabelle stretched out her hand and gestured for Roderick to stop.
The reason was simple. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to listen to the gossip anymore, but the scene had been quickly pulled to the setting ceremony of the Scorched Earth of Death by Edmond.
Very quickly.
Everyone watched the entire process of Matthew constructing the protective umbrella.
“Is it that simple?”
Edmond looked incredulous.
“It’s that simple.”
Isabelle said calmly,
“A Scorched Earth of Death can stop the spread of the Scar of the Dead. You should have thought of this earlier. The Undead and Ashes have always been competing for the position. The Necromancer is the best tool to deal with the
Scar of the Dead.”
Hearing this, a hint of recollection appeared on Edmond’s face.
“Back then, we all thought of it, but someone forcefully stopped the necromancers from getting involved in the Scar of the Dead.”
Isabelle was surprised.
“Who did this?”
Edmond could not help but say,
“It’s you, madam! Weren’t you the one who opposed it the most back then?!
You’ve always claimed that Mordenkainen’s scalpel is a better plan..”
