The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 131 Little Tiger's View on Love
……

In the southeast of the oak forest, the two sides of the official road in the farm area are very lively.

News of the visitors to Deep Blue Harbor spread like wildfire, attracting a group of residents who love to watch the excitement.

Most of them gathered at the head and tail of the "Golden Lion Bridge" - it is one of the few bridges in Rolling Stone Town. It was built in Rega's father's generation. It is said that on the day it was built, there was a golden lion all over its body Pop up and drink water by the bridgehead river.

Hence the name.

There are several tall water banyan trees planted on the bank of the bridgehead of the Golden Lion.

In midsummer evening, many people enjoy the shade under the banyan tree.

The "Old Lady River" crossing the arched stone bridge forms a small shallow bay in that area. The river surface is stable and the water is not deep. Therefore, nearby farmers can often be seen swimming in the river with their children.

It was an early summer afternoon.

The banyan tree was crowded with people.

Because of Peggy's identity, Matthew and the three did not get too close, but found a hidden place in the oak forest and looked out from a distance.

"I heard that the convoy from Deep Blue Harbor passed the checkpoint on the east side at noon. It can take ten minutes or half an hour. They will definitely pass here."

Paige said expectantly.

Matthew didn't ask her where she heard about it. After all, Peggy is really good at intelligence, and the entire Rolling Stone Town can hold her head in this regard. I am afraid that only Zeller, who can grasp the big and small things in the town, is the only one.

Season in mid-May.

The sound of cicadas gradually sounded in the wilderness.

in the shade.

Matthew moved a small mat and sat down.

A hot breeze brushes the eyelids and chin.

Residents not far away gathered together and chatted about something.

There were idlers pushing and shoving by the river, and suddenly, someone screamed, and the water splashed by the river——

An unlucky young man was pushed into the water. He obviously knew how to swim. He jumped a few times in the water, cursing.

People crowded around nervously at first, and after finding out that there was nothing serious, they each laughed for a while.

Matthew watched this scene silently, feeling a little touched in his heart.

The cloud of war is approaching step by step, but most people in Rolling Stone Town are still unconscious.

Perhaps, the moment before the Red Earth Mountain army entered the golden fertile field, the people living on that land were also the same as this group of people in front of them.

When peace becomes the norm.

The scars of war will become more and more visible.

"No wonder Rega has been under so much pressure recently. This kind of choice is really not that easy to make."

Matthew sighed softly.

With his elbows on his knees and his chin resting on his palms, he seemed to be looking into the distance, but his eyes gradually lost focus.

Until a strange flag with a blue background and a red cloud appeared at the end of the official road.

People on both sides of the bridge cheered.

Matthew woke up suddenly.

"I'm coming!"

Peggy looked excited:
"Matthew, hurry up and see how beautiful the little princess in Deep Blue Harbor is. If she is half as beautiful as Sif, let's take her home and make her your second wife!"

There are too many slots in this statement.

Matthew couldn't take it.

Only Eli replied in a daze:
"Matthew already has a big wife?"

Just as Matthew was about to explain, at this moment, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from the woods behind him!
"Sure enough, you are here to watch the fun!"

A low voice came from the horseback, and Matthew looked back. It was the captain of the garrison, Brad the beard.

Brad did not dismount, but said hastily:
"Matthew, hurry up, get on the horse with me!"

"Rega is looking for you, he looks very anxious!"

Peggy said dissatisfied:

"Is the lord afraid that Matthew will forget Sif after marrying his second wife, and ask him to go to work at such a critical moment? Will he be paid overtime?"

Brad smiled awkwardly, but he also has a way of dealing with aggressive women like Peggy:
"I'm just a messenger."

Matthew stretched his neck with a little regret.

The convoy was not moving fast, and it was estimated that there were still five or six minutes before they would cross the bridge, and it would be even slower when they reached the edge of the woods.

"I'm afraid I have to go first."

Matthew said to Eli with apologetic eyes.

Eli didn't wait for a reply.

Peggy put her arms around Eli's small shoulders carelessly:

"It's okay, you go, Matthew, I will take good care of your little brother."

There was an unnatural look on Eli's face:
"Well, you are busy with your work."

Matthew immediately climbed onto the horse and followed Brad and galloped towards Rolling Stone Town.

Seeing Matthew's back disappear into the woods.

Eli struggled unnaturally:
"Peggy? Can you relax?"

However, as if she didn't hear what he said, Peggy walked towards the stone bridge down the hillside with her arms around Eli:
"Go! Let's go over and have a look, you cover me, I will sneak, they can't find me!"

You a two meter tall tauren stalking in broad daylight?
This is ridiculous!
Eli wanted to yell at her.

But for some reason, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

The two quickly came to the side of the road.

Eli was ready to explain when someone found out, but soon he found that the people around him didn't notice him and Peggy at all!
Everyone is looking forward to it.

at last.

The convoy with the flag on the blue background crossed the stone bridge with a pleasant rhythm.

At the forefront are two knights who opened the way.

Then came three luxurious carriages.

When the carriage crossed the bridge, the speed was very slow, and everyone could see clearly——

The windows of the first carriage were closed.

The windows of the second carriage were open, but no one seemed to be in it.

There were people sitting in the third carriage, but the windows were half covered, so people could only have a vague look.

that's it.

Three carriages followed by two ox carts crossed the bridge one after another.

The crowd followed a few steps in disappointment.

Peggy shouted even more anxiously:

"Where is the lady of the city lord? Where is the little princess in Deep Blue Harbor? Can't you just say it and see it?"

Others made similar complaints.

Eli couldn't help but give Peggy a hand:
"Be careful, don't expose yourself, it doesn't matter if you can't see anyone."

next second.

The people in the third carriage seemed to have heard the call from the people outside. The windows on both sides were pushed open, and a young and pretty face flashed by the window, her face was still a little shy .

"Okay, Judy, say hello to everyone and go, we have to get to Rolling Stone Town before sunset, I want to take a good bath."

A lazy woman's voice came from the carriage.

The girl named Judy stretched out her little hand excitedly, greeting people on both sides of the road.

People cheered enthusiastically.

A few bums followed the carriage for a while, whistling crazily. It seemed that they would go to pick up the carriage if they were not guarded by the knights.

The convoy drifted away.

Peggy dragged Eli back to the oak forest.

"Wow! That girl named Judy is too cute!"

"She should be the little princess of Deep Blue Harbor. Although she is not as good as Sif, she is barely qualified to be Matthew's second wife."

"What do you think of her? Aren't you Matthew's friend? Give Matthew a check!"

Paige spoke to herself.

Suddenly.

She noticed that Eli hadn't spoken the whole time.

So she poked him:
"what happened to you?"

Only then did Eli come to his senses, and murmured in a dazed state:
"it's okay no problem."

Peggy said suspiciously:
"You don't like Judy, do you? It's a bit dishonest."

Eli blushed, and he retorted loudly:

"how is this possible!"

"If it was the woman Matthew had his eyes on, I would definitely not take another look!"

"I'm not interested in that Judy at all!"

Peggy nodded upon hearing this, and let go of her hand in relief.

After a while.

She heard Eli ask cautiously:
"Well, I want to ask, don't think too much, I just want to know who is the older woman next to Judy?"

……

"You look a little distracted?"

The next morning.

Matthew is going to plant trees, but meets Eli who is wandering aimlessly by the woods. Eli volunteers to help, and Matthew will naturally not refuse.

As a result, before the two of them planted a few trees, Eli inserted the two saplings in the same hole out of his mind.

This scene seems familiar.

"Oh, sorry, Matthew."

Eli hastily pulled one of the saplings out, scratching his head, looking distressed.

This guy can't hide anything in his heart.

Matthew was amused.

Yesterday afternoon, he went to the Lord's Mansion with Brad, and when he bumped into Rhaegar, the latter's state was very similar to Eli's now.

It's just that Rhaegar was not only surprised that Mrs. Aliena came so quickly, but also worried about whether to fully activate the "Gate of Purgatory".

He has been crazy about this incident for the past few days. He is obviously in his 40s, but his face has started to burst into pimples, which shows that he has a serious endocrine disorder.

In this regard, Matthew can understand Rhaegar.

Because once the war machine starts running, it may not be so easy to stop it.

If Rolling Stone Town can eliminate the haze of war with its own power, that would be the best thing.

The demon army in purgatory is really going to kill people.

Rega called Matthew over yesterday to discuss urgently how to deal with the possible request for help from Santo Elena.

Matthew and Zeller gave their opinions respectively.

finally.

The "Big Three" in the Lord's Hall of Rolling Stone Town reached an agreement.

Support is fine, but it depends on what kind of price Aliena can offer.

If there is only the cheapest bargaining chip in troubled times like female sex.

Then she's probably going to be shut down.

However, the subsequent development of the matter was beyond the expectations of the three men.

In the evening, the convoy from Deep Blue Harbor arrived at the official station in Rolling Stone Town.

Rhaegar originally thought that Aliena would be impatient to see him. He even took a shower, changed his clothes in a particularly energetic way, and even sprayed on some perfume.

Who knew that Ms. Aliena sent her knights to send a message, claiming that her mother and daughter were exhausted after traveling for several days, and they couldn't even stand up straight when they arrived at the station. They just wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will visit the honorable lord.

This trick of playing hard to get made the three men see the wrists from the east coast.

Rhaegar looked a little disappointed.

However, Mrs. Wesley led Sif in at the right time, and the latter showed Rhaegar a recent oil painting, and the portrait on the oil painting was Rhaegar himself.

This made Rega very moved, and his mind quickly calmed down.

In the end, when Matthew returned to work in the oak forest, he didn't run into Ms. Alena and her young daughter who was said to be as beautiful as a fairy.

On the contrary, when maintaining the negative energy fountain at night, Peggy jumped out of the pool and shared with Matthew what she saw yesterday.

So when he met Eli in the morning and saw him out of his mind, Matthew knew what he was doing.

The only thing that puzzled him was.

Why not the supposedly prettier Judy, but Lady Alena?
After a small episode happened, Eli's attention was a little more concentrated, and Matthew planted five or six trees in one go, and then gave up.

The weather is getting hotter, the oaks are becoming less active, and the saplings are listless.

Forcibly planting trees in this weather will only be counterproductive.

Matthew will only plant a few trees in the early morning. He is getting closer to the second goal of 3000 trees. He is looking forward to what will happen after completion.

Seeing Matthew packing up his things and walking back, Eli followed suit.

The two came to a place where oak trees were dense.

Matthew patiently checked the growth of these oak trees.

while walking.

Finally, Eli didn't hold back, and asked coldly:
"Matthew, did you say yesterday that there is still beautiful love in this world, if you meet a suitable girl, you might as well give it a try?"

Matthew smiled, turned around and asked:

"But you also swore yesterday that you would never fall in love with any woman again."

Eli blushed immediately:

"But she's different."

"She gives me a very special feeling, her voice is very lazy, and there is a hint of love, a bit like... a bit like..."

He suddenly faltered and couldn't speak.

Matthew asked thoughtfully:
"Ms. Aliena's voice sounds a bit like your mother's?"

Eli was taken aback:
"How do you know I'm talking about Ms. Aliena?"

Matthew shrugged:

"It's obvious that you can't seem to resist older types of women who are good wives and mothers."

"Samantha is actually a little older than you, she looks very mature."

Eli said honestly:
"She's four years older than me."

Matthew said in surprise:
"Then how old are you this year?"

Eli thought for a while:
"Seventeen, or eighteen, I can't remember."

Matthew scratched his head:

"Remember to call me brother when we meet in the future, I'm probably ten years older than you."

He always thought that Eli was about the same age as himself!

I didn't expect it to be a little kid.

I don't blame Matthew. Eli's appearance and temperament give people a very mature feeling. The wildness and beauty that come from the wilderness actually become the killer of some women.

Matthew even once felt that Eli was older than himself.

"Love has nothing to do with age."

Eli seemed to be very resistant to being told that he was young, so he deliberately said in a thick and magnetic voice:

"I do prefer older women, but I don't remember my mother's voice for a long time, it's just a very vague feeling. I overheard Ms. Alena's voice yesterday, and then I felt Very reassuring."

"To be honest, I am very distressed now, and the natural will tells me that I cannot indulge in love between men and women.

But I really can't seem to control my emotions.

It can't help gushing out when it meets the right person.

I don't know what to do now either. "

Matthew nodded secretly.

He had heard Ella mention what happened to Eli—

Eli is a human being raised by a tigress. Later, he met a druid elder from the Earth Association. The elder was also a man, and he probably behaved rough and savagely in his daily life. For things like raising a baby, he probably just needs to live. level.

Eli obviously lacks the love from his parents, and the lack of maternal love may be even more serious, which has subtly affected his concept of love.

"It's no wonder he likes Paige because of a few meals."

When Matthew thought about it, he felt that the little tiger was really pitiful, and felt pity in his heart.

"As I said yesterday, there must still be beautiful love in this world. Now you should ask yourself whether your so-called liking is real and will continue in the future. If so, Then I have no objection to you approaching Ms. Alena, although the success rate is very low, but bold attempts for your own feelings are worth encouraging, as long as you don’t lose your self and dignity in the process.”

Matthew sincerely gave his advice.

After listening to Eli, he thought about it:
"So the emphasis is on 'daring' and 'trying' right? "

Matthew shook his head:

"Wrong, the emphasis is on 'self' and 'dignity'. "

Eli frowned, lost in thought.

It's been a long time.

He just caught up with Matthew on the other side of the oak forest.

"I figured it out. I will find an opportunity to approach Ms. Alena. I need to confirm my feelings first, and then take action."

He looks excited.

"Of course, I will remember the key points you drew for me, boldness and experimentation—oh no, it's self, and dignity!"

Matthew nodded not unexpectedly.

After learning of Eli's age, he gave up trying to persuade him, even though he knew that Ms. Aliena's rank was enough to kill Eli.

Young people, longing for love is normal.

It is impossible to listen to the persuasion of others without suffering a few more severe beatings.

Matthew wiped his sweat and changed the subject:

"Do you know where I can buy oak seeds?"

Eli thought for a while:
"Oak tree seeds are regarded as one of the most precious plant secrets by nature guardians, and the Earth Association collects a batch of seeds every year for spare use.

A while ago, someone discovered that there was a problem with the seed bank. A considerable part of the oak tree seeds had been stolen and leaked to the market. For this reason, the Earth Association launched a severe rectification.

Originally, you could buy some seeds in Warden's Heights, but now because of this rectification, you have no chance to buy them.

As far as I know, the top management of the Earth Association is very firm this time, and they will strictly control the whereabouts of the oak seeds for several years to come.

If I came forward, I should be able to secretly ask for some of them for you, but definitely not for more. "

Matthew was keenly aware of the hidden information in the other party's words:

"You mean, besides me, there are people buying oak seeds in the market?"

Eli said uncertainly:
"It should be, since someone is stealing, someone should be buying it."

"But you will definitely not be able to buy anything now."

"Over the Watcher's Heights, due to the influence of the lingering veins of the Scar of the Dead, people are panicking and the situation is very unstable. I also encountered a lot of resistance when I went to the south this time. Fortunately, the Great Elder recognized my potential. , it didn’t stop me from pursuing my legendary path.”

Matthew asked curiously:

"What is your legendary way?"

Eli coughed twice, but didn't reply.

A few seconds later, he changed the subject bluntly and said:
"Speaking of which, this oak forest still has the problem I mentioned before. There are only oak trees, not a forest, and there are too few other creatures. In the long run, it will affect the ecological balance."

Matthew nodded and asked:

"Is there anything you can do?"

Eli mused and said:
"Our Earth Association has a ritual field called the "Life Sanctuary", which not only maintains the vitality of the earth, but also slowly enriches the ecology of a piece of land. "

Matthew knows Life Sanctuary.

he asks:

"So can you host one for me? I can pay you."

Eli said awkwardly:

"Sorry Matthew, I am a transformation master who is proficient in the wilderness. The ritual field is not my main content, and it requires a lot of energy to have a chance to build it. I'm afraid I don't have that much time recently."

The implication is that I want to pick up girls and I don't have time.

Matthew was not particularly disappointed, he just checked the last oak tree, and then suddenly jumped into the pothole next to him.

"What are you going for?"

Eli stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down, the gloomy atmosphere below was terrifying.

"After planting the tree, we are now repairing the grave."

Matthew's voice echoed in the underground space for a long time.

……

Repairing the grave is of course a joke.

Matthew refers to "making tombstones". In the past two days, he found that this ability is really useful, and it is very cheap. It requires a lot of stones to be consumed by Shinvak on the spot.

The troll blowjob is pretty good.

The ones that Matthew asked him to chew into squares would not be round.

You can even ask for lace or something.

Of course, Matthew would not be so devoid of humanity. Shinvak actually lived a good life under his hands. He had enough vegetables for six meals a day, slept casually except for construction, and occasionally had milk to drink.

It must be much better than in 177 hands.

Crossing the center of the cemetery past the Negative Energy Fountain, Matthew finds Peggy drinking again.

He couldn't help but joked:
"Don't drink Peggy and save a sip for the zombies next to you."

The negative energy fountain is the favorite snack of the undead, so there are usually a large number of cemetery residents gathered here.

Matthew set a rule for them to drink for up to 3 minutes per person and must line up.

All undead must obey.

Of course, the undead who occupy the contract slot are excluded.

So he can often see Peggy drinking alone at the fountain in the cemetery, while the zombie skeletons line up in the long line behind and watch eagerly.

"Matthew, you've changed!"

Peggy came out of the spring and said sullenly:

"You said before, when you establish the cemetery, let me be the owner of the cemetery, and all the undead in the cemetery must listen to me!"

"You feel bad after drinking a few sips of your water now!"

Matthew skillfully appeased:

"Um, the current cemetery is too small. Don't you think it's a waste of your management skills to have only one or two hundred undead?"

Peggy thought about it, and felt that what Matthew said made sense.

Matthew also followed the lead:

"Sooner or later, our cemetery will become a real city of the undead!"

"At that time, I will let you be the captain of the urban management team. If one person is under ten thousand people, all the undead on the street will have to listen to you!"

Peggy was surprised when she heard the words:

"What is the job of the captain of the urban management team? It sounds so powerful, are you serious?"

Matthew smiled slightly:
"When did I lie to you?"

Peggy was immediately happy:

"Okay, I'll cook for you, what do you want to eat today?"

Matthew pondered:
"Steak, fry a few more eggs."

"okay."

Peggy cheerfully ran to work in the newly built kitchen in the stone house next to her.

Matthew looked in the direction of the fountain, and he was relieved to be sure that the zombies whose skin surface began to crack could finally drink a mouthful of fresh negative energy spring water.

It's hard to be in charge!

He shook his head and walked quickly towards his work area.

Nowadays.

It's the day when Matthew started making Darth Vader!
