A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 498: Storluk Industries

“No need. I’ll tell them that the sound was made when I hit a rock. Combined with the reason I gave for the holiday, they’ll buy it.

“And if you take the initiative to give them money, then they will most likely know that something has happened here. When the rumours spread, it won’t be so easy for you to recruit more workers.

Of course, that is if you plan to only recruit from Rolling Stone Town. If you’re willing to find refugees from the Highleaf Ridge or the Golden Fertile Fields, they won’t complain even if the pay is lower.”

Matthew saw that he had a clear mind, so he no longer interfered with the matter and let Little Patton handle it.

He quickly walked around the scene of the incident.

This time.

He discovered three spatial rifts.

The largest one was located on the ceiling of the mine. It was a six-meter-long hole. It was usually closed, and from time to time, it would open up to two meters wide.

Sulfur ores that often flew into the mine fell from this hole.

However, according to Matthew’s observations, this hole was extremely unstable.

It spat out sulfur ore for a while, and soon, it closed automatically. This hole was also very well concealed. Even a slightly low-level reconnaissance spell could not detect it.

The second crack was located by the underground river deep in the mine.

It was an arched opening. Because it was hidden behind a rock, Matthew had been careless and did not notice that there was something else behind it. The gap was not big and could barely accommodate one person.

Matthew guessed that the two minotaurs had crawled over.

This crack was relatively stable.

Matthew had observed it for a long time, but it did not even have the tendency to close automatically. It was estimated that it would not disappear in the short term.

The third crack was on the gravel beach of the underground river.

This thing was only the size of a fist, and its stability was average. It was hard to say when it would disappear.

Matthew hadn’t seen anything come out of it yet.

After a thorough investigation.

Matthew brought more zombies over and surrounded the three rifts.

And he himself went straight to the Cauldron House.

To him, a spatial rift was both an opportunity and a crisis.

If his guess was correct, this was most likely pointing to the Purgatory Escana that Rheagar was heading to!

This meant that demons or devils from Escana could enter the material world through the rift at any time.

That was no joke.

Matthew immediately rushed to the Alliance’s library to search for information related to the space-time rift.

At the very least.

He had to find a way to close the rift steadily.

An hour later.

After paying a sum of Knowledge Points to the Scroll Dragon in the Great

Library, Matthew received a lot of information about the dimensional rift.

He selectively read a few authoritative works and summarized four ways to deal with the space-time rift.

The first was to let it disappear on its own.

The Prime Material Plane was the most stable world with complete elements, strong barriers, and the most complete laws.

Therefore, even if a space-time rift appeared, if it were not deliberately maintained, it would most likely disappear on its own after a period of time.

Of course, this method was a bit of a test of luck.

The second method was to repeatedly use evocation spells of the fourth rank and above to bombard the spatial rift and its surrounding areas with super-saturated explosions to achieve the effect of blowing up the spatial rift.

According to the introduction of the book titled ” The Occult Machinist Teaches You How to Deal with Space-time Turbulence “.

Using this method, the success rate of closing the space-time rift was as high as 95%.

However, there was a 5% chance that the space-time rift would explode and even attract monsters from the astral world.

However, there was such a point of view circulating among the Occult Machinists.

If the space-time rift couldn’t be closed by the explosion, then the explosion must not have been powerful enough. The only thing one needed to do wasIncrease the intensity.

The third method was the Spacetime Gate Stabilizing Spell. It required an experienced array master to stabilize the crack into a fixed Spacetime Gate. There were many benefits to this method. After it stabilized, this door would become similar to the Portal of Rheagar.

The door could be opened and closed whenever you wanted, and it was relatively safe and stable.

The only drawback was that it was expensive.

Matthew had heard from Margaret about the price of advanced array masters in the Alliance. Their labour costs were astronomical, not to mention the cost of materials.

The fourth method was to create a magic material called ” Giant Tree Amber ” by himself to repair the dimensional rift.

The advantage of this method was that the space-time rift repaired by the amber would not disappear in the short term. During this period, if you wanted to use this rift, you could just tear open the amber.

The disadvantage was that the giant tree amber was a little troublesome to tear apart.

Moreover, there was a low probability that the cracks repaired by this method would be discovered from the other side.

There were four methods.

Matthew was left with only two choices.

He didn’t dare to try the second. He didn’t have the money for the third.

” As for which method to deal with it, I still have to consider the situation on the other side of the rift and observe the stability of the rift.”

Matthew pondered for a while in the library and did not make a decision immediately.

However, he still made a trip to the Alliance’s store and bought a series of materials.
