A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1993: 575 Skeletal Gel

…

Clean and tidy street.

The bustling sounds were suddenly overshadowed by a call from the plaza.

Lulu’s ears perked up, and she looked delighted:

“It’s the Feast Sect Lodge!”

“I’ve heard that the food there is really delicious and it can even enhance your mana!”

“Matthew, Matthew, let’s go and check it out!”

As she spoke.

Others around the street corners heard the shout and immediately joined the wave, crazily rushing towards another avenue.

“Where is it? Where is it?”

“Over there, over the square, at the big cathedral. Many people have already gone over to queue up, they say once the food is gone, it’s gone…”

“Everyone, remember to queue up!”

“Hey, hey, don’t push me…”

The orderly small town suddenly became a bit chaotic.

Almost everyone who heard the name of Feast Sect Lodge was drawn over.

There was even a vendor holding a large bowl of candies for sale, who upon hearing the news immediately abandoned his goods, then showcased Sprint-like speed, dashing through half the street within seconds, surpassing countless people in the process!

“Matthew?”

Lulu picked a candy off the ground and tasted it:

“Wow, so sweet. Do you want to try?”

Matthew chuckled lightly and shook his head:

“Come on, let’s go see the excitement.”

They moved with the crowd across the plaza and then arrived outside a bustling cathedral.

The word was out that there was free food to be had, and indeed, many people turned up.

They were chattering noisily about what kind of magic food might be handed out today.

Matthew and Lulu were at the back of the line.

He silently listened to the conversations of the people queued in front and behind them—

Initially, those people were using the common language of Aindor;

Then, somehow, they started unpredictably using the astral common tongue;

In the end.

Everyone was still there cheerfully talking loudly.

But Matthew and Lulu couldn’t understand what they were saying!

“What’s happening?”

Lulu finally sensed something was amiss.

She even cast “Language Proficiency” on herself, yet still couldn’t comprehend the conversations.

“Illusion?”

Lulu’s eyes grew sharp.

But swiftly, she looked puzzled again:

“Yet, that piece of candy just now was clearly real!”

“And that sprinting merchant showed no flaws at all…”

Matthew stated calmly:

“Because the candy and merchant were played by real people.”

“Due to the illusion’s inherent lack of power, using real people to perform in some key scenes matching the illusion evidently enhances its realism significantly.”

“But doing this undoubtedly exposes issues in lots of coordination aspects.”

“You didn’t notice earlier, that merchant dashed several times straight through other people’s bodies…”

As Matthew explained, his eyes also revealed a hint of amusement.

In terms of combating illusions.

He was quite experienced.

Even the Evil Priest Lance and Mirage Dragon couldn’t handle him, this small Arcane Wilderness unknown spellcaster couldn’t easily deceive Matthew’s sharp eyes—

In fact.

His powerful mental power had already sounded an alarm the moment he stepped behind the curtain.

What surprised Matthew was.

Lulu hadn’t detected anything.

This was quite unusual.

Because fairies themselves are experts in illusions, they are very sensitive to illusions and can capture details that ordinary people overlook.

Yet, Fairy Princess Lulu was nearly fooled under this scenario.

“There are only two explanations for this—”

Matthew looked at Lulu and spoke very plainly:

“First, your Insight is too weak to stand alone, and you’re unable to dispel such an illusion, I’m concerned about whether you can independently complete the Legendary Advancement, even though your power has already reached it.”

“Second, this illusion is specifically optimized against fairies, possibly even the spellcaster himself is a fairy!”

Lulu immediately responded:

“It must be the second one!”

“Initially, when I came in, I sensed something was off, but for some unknown reason, after hearing the flute player’s music, I felt a warm familiarity, like that of a hometown…”

“After that, it seems I got trapped.”

Her face was full of indignation.

Matthew nodded slightly:

“That flute player is also real.”

“Indeed, it seems like the illusion was optimized for fairies…”

Unfortunately, despite Matthew’s appearance as a fairy.

In essence, he remains a spellcaster with overwhelming mental power, backed by numerous divine attributes and divine artefacts like Lost Paradise, such a mere illusion can’t trouble him.

Lulu was about to cause a stir.

Matthew held her back:

“Since we’re here.”

“Why not see what performances are on offer?”

“Most of this illusion is quite realistic, if I’m not mistaken, a similar scenario might have occurred in this town at a certain moment in the past…”

The pair did not wait long.

The crowd ahead of them disappeared through the cathedral entrance at an unmistakably abnormal pace.

Even more outrageous.

Once inside, not a single person came back out!

This led Matthew to a deep questioning:

“Can such an illusion truly deceive people?”

Soon.

It was Lulu and Matthew’s turn.

At the grand and magnificent cathedral entrance.

A beautiful nun wearing a long black robe, whose figure was strikingly voluptuous, with casually revealed tattoos in colors adorning her wrist, waist, and ankle, greeted them.
