A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1848: 513 Bu Ye Devil and Demon Dragon Huang Chen

...

Legendary Trial?

Is Eli about to advance to a legend?

Matthew was secretly astonished.

Of course, he knew Eli had the potential to become a legendary figure.

However, the advancement of ordinary Druids was not as meteoric as Matthew, who seemed to cheat his way to rapid progression.

They needed a more gradual approach.

In fact, Eli's pace of improvement was already not slow.

When they first met, Eli was at Tier 3, and now, after half a year had passed, Matthew thought that reaching the peak of Tier 5 would already be quite impressive for Eli.

As for advancing to legendary...

Without some huge stroke of luck, Matthew felt it was very unlikely.

As a favored child of the Nature Domain,

Matthew naturally knew all there was to know about the Druids' trials for advancement—

The trials set by the Nature Domain were always brutally straightforward.

The tasks given to those Druids favored by the domain were either to maintain the balance or order of a certain area, or to take down some evil big boss within a region.

You either make it and succeed,

or you fail and lose your life.

Generally speaking,

Druids took falling to these evil leaders as part of their martyrdom.

They would embark on their path to advancement with fervor and passion.

Whether they went to their death or achieved success,

it was all a part of a ritual that matched their spiritual aspirations.

But Matthew certainly didn't want his friend being coaxed into confronting some regional big boss for no good reason.

Thus, he inquired with the two Great Druids for details.

"This matter has to start from the Snow Girl Queen herself."

Silver Wolf Cassel cleared his throat:

"As a Demon Warlock, the Snow Girl Queen once had a very powerful demon companion, and his name was 'Bu Ye'."

"In the process of the Snow Girl Queen conquering the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes, Bu Ye can be said to have contributed most of the effort."

"He was invincible in combat, unstoppable in attack, and he established a reputation among Warlocks in the northwest region that struck terror into their hearts."

"But after the establishment of the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes,"

"The Snow Girl Queen and Bu Ye turned against each other for various reasons. Bu Ye tore up his contract with her and embraced the abyss."

"Since then, Bu Ye and the demon army he led have been harassing the southwest border of Asidu night and day."

"In order to protect the citizens of the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes, the Snow Girl Queen has negotiated with Bu Ye several times. Whatever specifics they agreed on, we outsiders would not know, but after the negotiations, Bu Ye indeed withdrew his troops..."

At this point,

Miao Qin suddenly snorted heavily.

Cassel instantly fell silent like a cicada in winter:

"You mean, you mean..."

Miao Qin sneered:

"Although Bu Ye is a cruel demon, he has earned his stripes in the conquest of the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes for the Snow Girl Queen, and everyone knows he is deeply infatuated with her."

"He has fought battles for her most of his life, and in the end, all he received was a hollow promise. Who wouldn't be infuriated?"

"The Snow Girl Queen used Bu Ye up and cast him aside. Although they barely reached an agreement, every few years, the Snow Girl Queen selects a husband for herself, and it doesn't take long before her husbands, filled with righteous indignation, go to fight Bu Ye, with the inevitable outcome being their heroic sacrifice, dying in the abyss..."

"Those foolish men were manipulated by her, thinking they were fighting for the peace of Asidu, not knowing that after their deaths the Snow Girl Queen would at most shed a few tears in public, then comfortably continue her reign as the queen of the Kingdom of Thousands of Lakes for a few more years."

"Although the specifics of the agreement between Bu Ye and the Snow Girl Queen have definitely not been made public, her deceased former husbands must surely be part of it."

"Three men have already died at Bu Ye's hands."

"It's quite obvious that Eli is about to become the fourth."

Matthew mused:

"So you're saying, the Snow Girl Queen selects men as pawns against Bu Ye?"

Miao Qin nodded her head:

"There must be other parts to their agreement, or else Bu Ye would not have compromised so easily."

"I'm guessing Bu Ye gave the Snow Girl Queen four or five chances to find other men to challenge him, and if she loses enough times, then she has to willingly become Bu Ye's woman."

Cassel gave a cough:

"But all this is just speculation."

Miao Qin glared:

"Do you also wish to challenge the Demon King Bu Ye?"

The Silver Wolf immediately withdrew his head.

Seeing this,

Matthew almost laughed out loud.

He then tightened his facial muscles to control his expression and inquired:

"So... why Eli?"

"What about him attracted the Snow Girl Queen to choose him to face the Abyssal Demon King?"

Miao Qin pondered:

"We're not quite sure about that."

"It might have something to do with the Earth Society's situation."

"Or it might be related to Eli's own potential and physical condition. As far as I know, the Snow Girl Queen likes to conduct some strange experiments."

"Her former husbands, before dying in the abyss, were all in good health, sufficient to meet her requirements for certain special experiments..."

Matthew looked discreetly at Cassel.

The latter blinked rapidly and then silently shook his head.

"Does this mean Silver Wolf thinks this might be conjecture from Miao Qin herself?"

"Does she have a grudge against the Snow Girl Queen?"

Matthew suddenly found the issue quite interesting.

He contemplated:

"What about Eli's attitude?"

With a sigh, Miao Qin replied:

"What attitude could that child possibly have?"

"You should know him—"

"He is so delighted with the mere title of fiancé granted by the Snow Girl Queen that he can't contain it. I even suspect that after all this time, she hasn't even allowed Eli to hold her hand..."
