A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1165: Undersea Know-it-all and Lady Sea Snake

..

Wherever there was civilization, there would be a cemetery.

It was the same in the underwater world.

Before this trip, Matthew had done his homework on the Naga.

He even had a deep understanding of the funeral customs of the Nagas.

Generally speaking.

After a Naga died, its corpse would be stored in a special shell.

This kind of shell would often secrete a corrosive mucus.

Under the effect of the mucus.

The Naga's corpse would continue to corrode, and eventually, only a small amount of bones would be left.

After a period of time.

The Naga's relatives would open the shell. At this time, in addition to the bones that had not been corroded, they could also harvest a pearl mixed with the flesh and blood of the Naga's corpse.

This pearl was often worn by close relatives.

Until they also died.

Therefore, if one wanted to know if the family of a Naga had a long history.

Just look at the number of pearls hanging around his neck.

These pearls were not only traces of the existence of the Naga ancestors, but they also had a slight spirituality. Some of the stronger ones could even be used as magic items.

Of course.

There were also many Nagas who would treasure these pearls and would not show them to others easily. They would only take these pearls out one by one during major festivals that required sacrificial ceremonies.

While he was reading the information.

Matthew had already realized why the Holy Church of Darkness Source had gradually lost control of the Naga.

On the one hand, the original body Naga's blood was constantly diluted, and the higher-ups of the Naga were no longer directly controlled by the World Ending Twin Snakes.

On the other hand, it was also because of the ancestor worship hidden in the Naga culture.

In a sense, this special funeral ceremony and ancestor worship satisfied the needs of this intelligent race in the sea.

There were many similar examples in the history of Aindor.

The Age of Enlightenment.

The gods found it difficult to promote their beliefs in tribes that worshipped their ancestors.

This was because the people they called uncivilized were more willing to worship their ancestors.

Not the high and mighty gods.

In comparison.

After the elves died, most of them would be reincarnated into the Myriad World Tree Sea through the Light Transformation Pool.

Therefore, most elves did not worship their ancestors.

Therefore, from an objective point of view.

It was also reasonable for the elves to worship the Gods.

Matthew only felt a little emotional when he compared the two races.

Compared to the kind and elegant wood elves…

The evil and vulgar Nagas seemed to be better at resisting the infiltration of Evil Gods.

This was based on the fact that the Nagas were created by the Twilight Creature, Brook.

It was also because of this.

Matthew had actually changed his opinion of Naga a lot.

However, changing his opinion was just changing his opinion.

He still had to go to the cemetery.

If a necromancer had no interest in the cemetery, that was the greatest disrespect to your race!

"Do you want to go to the cemetery with them?"

Sumi's voice was slightly hesitant.

Matthew said frankly,

"I've never seen a cemetery at the bottom of the sea. I want to go and take a look.

"No matter what, I am still a necromancer."

Sumi became even more hesitant.

"You'll make me look like I'm blaspheming my ancestors…"

Matthew quietly activated the Holy Authority.

Every word he said seemed to be extremely reasonable.

" Are you or your tribe's ancestors buried in the cemetery they are going to?

"If that's the case, I can choose not to go."

A strange look flashed in the green-skinned Naga's eyes.

She said hesitantly,

" The cemetery they're going to now should be the one near the city.

"That place used to belong to the Red Scaled Tribe. It has nothing to do with our Eternal Night Tribe.

"The cemetery behind is occupied by the Holy Church of Darkness Source. Ever since Zina became queen, all the Naga tribes have been scattered. Currently, there are only three classes left in the Naga society.

"The original nobles;

"The members of the Sacred Church of Darkness Source;

"There are also ordinary Naga warriors."

Matthew snorted softly.

He didn't continue to persuade Sumi and just waited for Sumi's decision.

"Speaking of which, before the Darkness Source Holy Church infiltrated, the Red Scaled Tribe and our Eternal Night Tribe were actually sworn enemies…"

At this point.

Sumi seemed to have found an excuse for herself.

"If you really want to go, I can bring you there."

Matthew skillfully wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Then let's set off!"

Crackling.

Sparks flew from Sumi's upper body, from her waist up to her fair and flawless neck.

"Uh-huh…"

Sumi's neck turned slightly red. She complained in a trembling voice,

"You electrocuted me again!

" It's not safe for us to just follow them. There must be experts in the team that sent the bodies of the important figures to the cemetery.

" Moreover, the route they're taking will circle around Dark Void City. This process is very time-consuming. Yes, I know a small path that can directly reach that cemetery…"

As she spoke.

Sumi quickly twisted her powerful snake tail.

She brought Matthew along and swam agilely in the underwater world.

Sometimes, they would appear between white sand and coral.

Sometimes, they would pass through the dark and narrow path.

Sometimes, they would climb along the rapidly rising seabed.

Sometimes, they would dodge the sudden eruption of a small underwater volcano.

During this process.

Matthew realized that Naga was actually quite close to the image of mermaids in people's minds.

Minus a few scales.
