Chapter 563: Lost Lantern and Prophecy Dice

” As for the remaining spirit bodies, I hope you can let them return to the Underworld.
“This is also good for you.”
Matthew hesitated and said,
“I’m just a small necromancer. How can I guide the soul back to the
Underworld?”
Viscount Fan took out a green lantern that was emitting a quiet glow from his back.
He let go.
The lantern automatically flew in front of Matthew.
” The guiding light emitted by this lantern will automatically attract souls. You just need to walk around with the lantern at night regularly.
Every time you collect a certain number of souls, I will guide you to send them to the Underworld. After that, I will give you a certain reward according to the number of souls.
‘ And this lantern itself is a pretty good magic item. In the era when Death was still around, and the laws of the Underworld were still perfect, Underworld
Walkers carried such lanterns in the material world, guiding lost souls to the Underworld.
“Unfortunately, times are different now.”
Viscount Fan sighed.
Matthew understood what he meant, but he did not intend to ask in detail. He just asked curiously,
“Are you giving me the lantern just like that? “Are you sure I will cooperate with you?”
Viscount Fan smiled.
“Of course.
“Putting aside the fact that this matter is beneficial to you, I still have a bigger card that I haven’t played yet.”
Matthew looked straight at him.
Viscount Fan said in a low voice,
” The second son of the Grim Reaper, Mabarron. You should have heard of his name.
Before he sealed himself in the Eternal Dead Area, Mabarron wrote his entire life’s knowledge on a slate. The content on that slate was considered nonsense because it was too absurd. In the end, I collected it.
“I think you should be interested in the contents of the stone slab, right?”
His voice was filled with craftiness.
Matthew didn’t say anything.
But he was indeed very interested.
Mabarron had once attempted to merge the two realms of nature and death together, but he had ultimately fallen into madness due to his failure.
Of course, Matthew wanted to see what path the second son of Death had walked.
It was obvious.
Viscount Fan had done his homework before coming.
“How can I get that stone tablet?” he asked directly.
Viscount Fan chuckled.
‘ Extradite 1,000 souls, and I will show you the contents of the stone tablet. As for the stone tablet itself, I’m sorry, I’m a collector myself. Forgive me for not being able to part with it.” Matthew didn’t argue.
“Deal.
But I’ll make it clear in advance that our cooperation is limited to the normal extraditing of souls, and it may be terminated at any time.”
Viscount Fan spread out his hands and made a gesture of embracing the air.
“That’s exactly what I want.
“To be honest, I don’t like to have too much to do with you living people either.
“I don’t like the smell on your bodies.
“I don’t think you need me to tell you how to use this lantern. Goodbye! ”
As he spoke.
His figure disappeared into the night sky without any warning.
It was as if he had never appeared.
Matthew stared at the lantern silently.
On the data panel.
[Hint: You have obtained the Lost Lantern.]
You have reached an initial agreement with Viscount Fan (Crow Demonic Realm).
Favourable impression points (Spirit Touch Hall)+l;
Regional Legendary Point (Crow Demonic Realm)+0.5;
[Lost Lantern: A lamp that guides the dead back to the Underworld.]
[Effect 1: Light of Guidance (The light that the lantern naturally emits will give the dead and spirits directions. They will subconsciously follow the direction of the lantern)]
[Effect 2: Shelter (The Lost Lantern can house up to 2000 souls)]
[Effect 3: Crow Demonic Realm Alliance (Those carrying the Lost Lantern are regarded as friendly partners of the Crow Pavilion Demonic Domain. Therefore, any two people carrying the lantern cannot hurt each other.]
[Effect 4: Wings of Dusk (You can summon a “Wings of Dusk” from the lantern to serve you. It is the best mount in the Underworld.]
Viscount Fan was right.
The Lost Lantern itself was a magic item with extraordinary effects. Its natural ability to attract the dead was simply a dream for necromancers.
Just this ability alone.
Matthew was willing to work for this messenger of the underworld.
Not to mention that he had the insights written by the Second Son of Death.
The only thing that worried him was that..
Was Viscount Fan and Sener’s relationship really as casual as he said?
However, his situation should not be so bad that a legendary rogue and the Emissary of the Underworld would work together to plot against him.
Matthew thought for a moment.
He felt that if he had the chance, he should go to Soria. Whether it was under the guise of paying back the money or paying tribute, he had to let her take a look.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
“If only Teacher Isabelle were willing to pay attention to me…”
Matthew smiled bitterly.
After all, he had to spend a lot of money to see Soria. He really couldn’t bear to part with it.
The good news was that Lara would be back soon.
She should have a considerable sum of money in her hands, as well as the Underwater Breathing Potion she brought from Condor City.
After this batch of goods was cashed.
Matthew would have more money.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to see Soria.
He carried the lantern and rode on the pegasus, slowly advancing according to the established route.
In the night.
The army of the dead advanced silently.
Matthew had originally planned to take away the dead in seven villages overnight, but the team was too large. If they continued to drag it out, they might not be able to finish it tonight.
