Chapter 273: Mordenkainen l s Scalpel and Entrance Examination

“If he breaks his promise, I will personally deal with him.” After saying this.

He tapped the top of his cane lightly and straightened his back.

“Then, gentlemen, there should be nothing else here. Please allow me to leave early. The Council of Five still has several topics to discuss tomorrow morning.

“Right, you guys should be careful with these people. Although Setrunk swore to me, I can’t guarantee that he didn’t have other plans for these people.” Richard pointed at the Brotherhood members who were tied up and reminded them.

Rheagar’s expression was very serious.

“I understand what you mean. I will strengthen the supervision of the prison.”

Matthew nodded.

The members of the Brotherhood scrambled to get into the prison.

They couldn’t really be here to eat and drink for free.

After Richard left.

Matthew continued to pay attention to the situation of the Scar of the Dead.

A few days later.

He had already settled down in a small hut in the forest.

Since he didn’t need to go to work and slack off, he had a lot of time to plant trees, learn spells, and prepare for forbidden rituals.

After being held back by the undead.

The Ash Creatures in the Scar of the Dead were still quite enthusiastic.

With the perfect cooperation of Renesme and Soldier, none of them were able to escape.

None of the Ashen Warriors survived for more than eight seconds.

The next day.

The refresh rate of the Ashen Warriors was greatly reduced.

On the third night.

Under the brutal slaughter of the Undead..

Not to mention the Ashen Warriors that respawned slowly. Even the Ashen Pawns that respawned every few seconds were nowhere to be seen.

After that, Matthew observed for another two days.

He realized that the Ash Creatures had really stopped appearing.

This made him somewhat regretful.

In the end.

He counted the spoils of war. There were a total of 28 Soul Crystals. Matthew rewarded them according to their contributions, while Renesme and Soldier each received two.

Soldier was fine.

Renesme received the reward, and her loyalty increased to 90. At the same time, she shared a new ability with Matthew.

[Deck Steps: When you walk on the deck that is shaking violently due to the storm, you have the balance of walking on flat ground.] This ability was not bad.

Matthew could use it when he went into the sea.

Other than Matthew.

Rheagar and his Lord’s Guards had been patrolling the Scar of the Dead for the past few days.

At the moment.

The first round of attacks from the Lord of Ashes was finally resolved.

Matthew’s progress in the taboo ritual was also very smooth.

Scorched Earth of Death was actually a very simple ritual. Its taboo was that no normal person or organization would allow a necromancer to transform the earth into soil similar to the negative energy plane in their territory.

He only spent two days to grasp the essence of it. What he lacked was actual experience.

Everything was going smoothly.

The progress of Malicious Shapeshifting was advancing…

At the moment, Matthew could only transform creatures about the size of a goat…

For example, pigs and dogs would become pigs and dogs covered in wool.

There was still a long way to go before he could truly cast Malicious Shapeshifting.

Therefore, after he finished studying the Scorched Earth of Death ritual, he immediately threw himself into the study of the Transfiguration spell.

This time, Matthew put in a lot of effort.

He bought three goats and brought them with him.

His goal was only to further sense the goat’s aura.

On the afternoon of the fourth day.

Matthew had just finished planting today’s oak trees and was playing with the goats in the forest.

Suddenly.

The bell on his waist rang.

This was a low-level spell that he had successfully mastered in just half an hour.

[Bell spell].

This spell is used to alert or notify things within a 20-kilometer radius.

Usually, it would only alert Matthew to important things.

Peggy would ring the bell in her house in Rolling Stone Town to inform Matthew if something happened.

Matthew didn’t dare to be negligent.

He greeted a knight who was in charge of keeping an eye on the Scar of the

Dead.

He rushed to the town.

“Entry assessment? Is it so sudden?”

In the living room, Matthew looked at the man and woman on the sofa in surprise.

The man’s name was Fandral, and the woman’s name was Alice. They claimed to be examiners of the Seven Saint Alliance. Matthew had seen their magic certificates, and there was no problem with them. “I just came back from outside. Can I take a shower first?”

Matthew asked.

Fandral, who had blonde hair and a warm smile, replied with a smile, “Sorry, this is the rule of the alliance. The recruitment assessment must be completed without the new member knowing. You can make some preparations, such as drinking a cup of tea to calm your mood, but there’s no need to take a shower.”

As he spoke, he took out his magic staff and cast an ” Untainted ” spell on Matthew.

Matthew looked down and found that he had become completely clean.

Seeing Fandral and Alice’s serious attitude, he didn’t say anything.

“I’m ready. Do you have any requests?”

Fandral said intimately,

‘ You only need to tell us the truth. We will write down appropriate comments on your answers. In the end, our high-level mages will give you a score. This score will not only determine whether you can join the Seven Saint Alliance but will also affect your first rating after joining the Alliance.”

As he spoke.

He patiently explained to Matthew the title system within the Alliance.

From bottom to top, they were D, C, B, A, and S.

Apart from [S] class, the other classes were further divided into two grades, 1 and 2.

Only [S] class had three grades: 1, 2, and 3.

In this system, the lowest rank was DI and the highest was S3. There were a total of eleven ranks.

The rank of a mage determined their status and resources in the Alliance of Seven Saints.

When one dealt with confidential information, one’s rank was also very important.

After listening to Fandral’s explanation.

Matthew’s nervous heart immediately relaxed.

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, if it was uncertain whether he could join the Alliance, there was no need for Fandral to go through so much trouble to explain the rank level to him.

Combined with Tower Genie 177’s words.

Matthew realized that Fandral was hinting that the process of the recruitment assessment was just a formality.

Thus, he relaxed.

At this moment, the brown-haired lady with slender eyes asked gently,

“Can we start now? Mr. Matthew.” Matthew nodded.

“Please ask your question, Miss Alice.”

Alice asked her first question.

“I found out from your resume that you are a necromancer, but after communicating with your summoned creature, the Tauren lady, I learned that you have been learning Malicious Shapeshifting recently.”

Matthew smiled bitterly and answered truthfully,

“My talent in shapeshifting seems to be rather average. I haven’t fully mastered it yet.”

Alice nodded, then spread out a piece of paper in front of Matthew. Matthew could clearly see what she was writing on it.

” Although Mr. Matthew is a necromancer, he also has a longing to study other schools of spells. He often uses his spare time to learn spells in other fields, such as Malicious Transfiguration.

“According to my observations, Mr. Matthew’s Malicious Shapeshifting Spell has already reached the point of perfection. This is rare even among the Tier 3

Mages in the Alliance.”

Matthew felt a little embarrassed.

“This, this isn’t very good, right? My shapeshifting spell is rather average.”

Alice very naturally looked at Matthew.

“Your malicious form is a goat, right?”

Matthew nodded.

Alice said straightforwardly,

“Now is the time to practice the spell. Please use Malicious Transformation on it. We want to evaluate the effect of your spell.” Matthew followed her finger and looked over.

In the end, he found a muddle-headed goat.

He hesitated for a few seconds.

He raised his hand and cast a Malicious Shapeshifting spell on the goat.

Bang!

The spell failed.

The goat did not move at all.

Fandral exclaimed,

“What an outstanding Malicious Shapeshifting Spell. I can’t even tell the difference between it and a real goat!”

Alice also quickly wrote.

“I saw with my own eyes that after the target was hit by Mr Matthew’s spell, it looked the same as a real goat. Considering his age, this is really rare. As expected of Mr. Ronan’s highly recommended candidate.” Then, they asked Matthew a few more questions.

No matter how Matthew answered.

They had written all kinds of good reviews on the paper.

Until Alice asked the last question.

“What is the spell ritual that you have recently been researching or completed?”

Matthew still chose to answer truthfully,

“Scorched Earth of Death, a ritual in the domain of the undying.” Hearing this.

For the first time, Alice and Fandral’s eyes became serious.
