The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 136 Domain: Transformation! (seeking a monthly ticket)

……

It was almost four o'clock in the morning, and there were already people shouting for fresh vegetables in the produce street behind the post house.

It is obviously not the same thing that everyone is staring at the street.

So at the suggestion of Zeller, who was driven out after hearing the news, a group of people came to the office hall of the Lord's Mansion.

Based on Matthew's understanding of Zeller, this arrangement is probably waiting for the negotiation of the affairs here, and it can be seamlessly connected to the morning meeting for a while.

He was so sleepy that he yawned violently, but the current situation could only make Mrs. Wesley, who had been woken up in a hurry, order a few more cups of coffee.

In the office hall.

The atmosphere is a little subtle.

The three giants in Rolling Stone Town each performed their duties, and Lorraine sat in the guest seat generously.

Richard, leaning on the cane, was the only one not seated, claiming he preferred to stand.

The confrontation between the two legends couldn't be more obvious.

But Lei Jia and others are obviously happy to see the result.

Matthew knew that the appearance of Lorraine was still a bit of pressure for them. Without Richard, they might be at a disadvantage before the negotiation started.

But even Richard, Rhaegar usually can't handle him, the elderly gentleman seems to only care about the work of the five-member committee.

Of course, he didn't do little to catch thieves on weekdays.

Matthew suspected that the law and order in Rolling Stone Town was so good, besides himself, Richard also contributed.

The silence was broken by Lorraine first.

He smiled and looked at the others:
"Don't look at me like a poisonous snake, Matthew and I are very good friends, and after fighting side by side last night, I thought I was already half of my own. "

Everyone looked at Matthew with consulting eyes.

Matthew nodded slightly, and then he asked Lorraine:
"Do you still need to play Ms. Aliena?"

"It's not really necessary, the assassin of the "Devil Cult" has been arrested, and Aliena's side has probably launched an operation against the situation in Deep Blue Harbor, so my performance should be able to come to an end. "

Lorraine explained:
"The God Sect is one of the more active criminal organizations on the east coast. They are also very interested in Rolling Stone Town. I came here to warn you, but since there is a silver snake, everything is unnecessary."

As he spoke, he couldn't help complaining again:

"Matthew, you should have told me that there is a silver snake, so I don't have to be so nervous.

After all, Silver Snake is a legendary profession of rogues, and its biggest feature is that it is good at targeting its own people—I mean rogues in the field.

After all, wanderers are little mice, and what Silver Snake is best at is eating mice.

In places where silver snakes live, thieves within a hundred miles are extinct. Am I right? "

As he spoke, he glanced at Richard provocatively.

Richard's expression was calm, and he said calmly:

"Coincidentally, I also know some abilities of the Twilight Singers, I heard that they can draw strength from the destruction and loneliness of grand events.

Wherever bad things happen, you will rush there. Although the bad things are not caused by you, no one welcomes your arrival.

So in the Age of Enlightenment, the gods called you crows.

And I have a more vicious conjecture, since you can draw strength from destruction, why don't you create destruction yourself, you say? "

Lorraine showed a frightened expression:

"Snakes are indeed the most vicious life, opening their mouths is slander.

Indeed, I can draw strength from the destruction and ending of great people, great organizations, and even the world, but the core element of a chant is to observe, chant, but never participate.

If you're going to accuse me of bringing disaster to Rolling Stones, I'd say you're dead wrong.

But I can understand, after all, the brain capacity of snakes is generally not large. "

Richard sneered and said:
"But your demigod domain is deceit and acting. Even if I suspect that these drows are also directed and acted by you, it's not too much!"

Lorraine showed no sign of weakness:

"Really? Do you think you are worthy of being cheated? Acting is also very labor-intensive. I don't think you are qualified to be my audience and be cheated by me."

"Two, don't get angry."

Zeller took the initiative to act as a peacemaker:

"I would like to believe that Mr. Lorraine has no malice towards Rolling Stone Town. If it weren't for Mr. Richard, the information he brought is very likely to come in handy."

"I just received a secret message from the front-line scouts + at about three o'clock in the morning, the army on the border of the South Trading Station on Hongtu Mountain withdrew."

"This is most likely due to the arrest of the drow assassins. There are about 300 people in that army. If they really attack the South Trading Post, we may suffer certain losses."

As he spoke, he unfolded the note in his hand.

Matthew noticed that when Zeller entered the office hall with him, he did not have this note in his hand.

It seems that there is a secret communication method between Zeller and the scouts under him, and the timeliness is quite high.

"More than 300 people! So many?"

Rhaegar looked surprised.

Zeller nodded solemnly.

For the current situation in the south of Aindor, a 300-man army, if well-equipped and well-moralized, would be a force to be reckoned with.

The real elite of Rolling Stone Town is the lord's guard of about 40 people, plus the same number of garrison members at most, the total is less than 100 people.

Others, like the squires of the lord's guard, numbered 170;

There are more than 100 militiamen in each village.

Considering that the resident population of Rolling Stone Town is between [-] and [-], including the border villages, it can barely exceed [-].

Without considering the factors of the purgatory portal, about 1000 people is a threshold for a regular army increase.

Going up is not unaffordable, but it will be very difficult.

The size of Hongtu Mountain is three to five times that of Rolling Stone Town, and the same is true for its affluence.

Combined with the previous intelligence, their main force was attacking the Gaoye collar and sweeping the golden fertile field, and only a quarter of the people threatening the South Trading Post were at most.

Looking at it this way, the new lord of Hongtu Mountain organized a regular army of more than 1200 people in a very short period of time.

This is not an easy task.

It can be seen from this that even if an army from Hongtu Mountain is scared off this time, there will be no small hidden dangers in the follow-up.

"The war potential of Hongtu Mountain is terrible. The fall of Golden Fertile Field will lead to a sharp increase in food prices in the south this year. If Gaoyeling is also occupied by them, the economy of Rolling Stone Town will be seriously affected. Of course, what is more important is their own threat to us. Even with the deterrence of legendary mages, they may still test us from time to time, which is very troublesome."

Zeller concluded gravely.

The other three also looked stern.

Only Lorraine still looks calm:
"An army of three hundred mortals? It's nothing more than chickens and dogs. I can drive them all away by myself!"

Richard asked:

"By mouth?"

Lorraine shrugged:

"Occasionally you have to use your hands."

Rhaegar asked suspiciously:

"If Your Excellency is really that powerful, why didn't you just pacify Deep Blue Harbor for Aliena?"

Lorraine replied as it should:

"I'm just her cousin, not her father, and I have no obligation to settle everything for her.

After entering the legend, you will understand that in addition to many necessary entanglements, the less mortal things touch the better, it will distract you and become your drag, and I personally hate fighting and killing, which is not elegant at all. Compared with fighting, I prefer to applaud and sing.

Speaking of which, I almost forgot, I'm here to negotiate with you on Aliena's behalf! "

Zeller and Rega glanced at each other:
"Tell me about your conditions?"

Lorraine started talking immediately.

After Zeller finished listening, he replied three or four sentences cautiously.

Lorraine gave another long speech.

This time Zeller replied a lot more, but most of the content was vague and ambiguous.

that's it.

The two of you come and go, with a lot of tongues.

Say no to Matthew.

Richard and Rhaegar couldn't get in a word either.

Naturally, there was nothing to see in the verbal confrontation between the two big men.

Matthew stretched, and quietly came to his office.

He believed that the two of them could come to a good result.

So I decided to take advantage of this time to continue learning spells.

Recently, Matthew has been learning two spells, namely the "Mind Gaze" in the Necromancer Domain and the "Petrification" in the Transfiguration Domain.

The former Matthew mastered very smoothly.

Sitting on a soft chair, he crushed a squirrel's spleen. In the next second, his eyes seemed to turn into two terrifying black holes.

……

"Hint: You have used the spell "Mind Gaze".

Eye-catching gaze: During the effective time of the spell (60 seconds), your eyes will become hollows full of terrifying power. You can designate a unit within 18 meters that touches your gaze to make a perception judgment. If the save fails, you can force him to enter one of the following three results——

1. Slumber: The target falls into a comatose slumber until he is damaged or shaken violently by another creature.

2. Fear: The target falls into uncontrollable fear, he will lose part of his sanity, and run wildly away from you.The fear effect doesn't wear off until it's out of your line of sight.

3. Illness: The target falls into a disease-like weakness, and all action checks will suffer severe penalties.

In the diseased state, the target will make an additional perception judgment every 60 seconds. Once the save is successful, it can get rid of the diseased state. "

……

This is a powerful single target crowd control spell, mainly used against rushing units.

But Matthew felt that he had turned into a wilderness form, and it would be good to rush to the enemy to have a seductive look.

After a period of practice, Matthew has been able to calmly control the switch of Sexin's gaze.

It's just that the casting materials for this thing are not easy to find. You have to use the spleen of a squirrel. The only good news is that a piece of spleen can be used repeatedly.

In comparison, the study of petrification is not very smooth.

But Matthew didn't care.

He is now full of confidence in the spells of the transformation field——

Not to have confidence in oneself, but to have confidence in Rhaegar!
Immediately, he took out a piece of meat and tried to petrify it.

After several failures, he calmly glanced outside, and found that Zeller and Lorraine were still arguing, and Rhaegar was listening on the surface, but was actually drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

So he raised the volume:

"Rega? Is it convenient to come in?"

Rhaegar said without raising his head:

"Add money."

Matthew thought about it:
"It's about Sif, I want to talk to you."

Rhaegar immediately put down the newspaper and rushed to Matthew's office.

"What happened to you last night?"

He fixed his eyes on Matthew, as long as Matthew answered incorrectly, he might have to go back to his room to get the big sword.

"No, I just noticed that Sif has been yawning, has she slept a lot recently?"

Matthew asked.

Rhaegar breathed a sigh of relief:

"I thought it was something! It's the influence of family blood, it's not a big problem."

Matthew asked curiously:

"Is she going to awaken the ability related to purgatory? That's why you don't let Sif touch spells?"

Rhaegar nodded:
"For members of the Blood Banner family, it is harmful to take the initiative to learn spells. The power of the upper devil flows in our blood, and as long as the time comes, this power will automatically awaken. In a sense, we are no different from warlocks."

"I see."

Matthew nodded reassuringly, and then skillfully patted five gold coins on the table.

"Come here, come and practice a spell with me."

After a few minutes.

Mrs. Wesley walked in from the corridor with a broom. She came to Matthew's office and looked at the stone statue in the middle of the room in surprise:

"My God, is this the statue you carved for Rhaegar? It's really lifelike."

As she spoke, she patted the stone statue's face lightly, and pulled the stone statue's ears vigorously.

Before Matthew could speak, she hurried out:

"Don't move the stone statue away, I'll ask Sif to come over and watch the excitement!"

Upon hearing this, Matthew hurriedly canceled the petrification technique, and said:

"If the case is solved, I will say that Sif was not arranged by me."

Rega touched his red ears, and said angrily:

"I knew it was her who did it. This old woman is really disgusting. I have to get rid of her!"

Matthew already heard cocoons in his ears.

He asked:
"When will you resign?"

Rhaegar said emphatically:

"Next Mon!"

"Let her get another week's pay."

"the last week!"

……

When Matthew left the Lord's Mansion, the battle between Zeller and Lorraine had not yet come to an end.

Matthew couldn't get in on the matter.

He was anxious to go back to plant trees and repair graves, and finally asked for leave in advance and left.

On the way to the Oak Forest.

Matthew suddenly shuddered:
"I just said, it seems that something has been forgotten!"

"Eli!"

Think about this.

He quickly turned back in the direction of the official post house.

When approaching the gate of the posthouse.

A strange force poured into Matthew's body.

He stopped involuntarily.

……

"Reminder: Comprehending the mysteries of the field of transformation many times has allowed you to accumulate a large number of relevant elements. You have successfully set foot in the sub-field of "magic" "transformation" and completed a short stay in it!

In return for getting involved in the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities-

1. Material-free spellcasting (you will not need any casting materials when you cast spells related to the Transformation field below Legendary; materials above Legendary are halved)

2. Two-stage Transfiguration (Your Malicious Transfiguration is enhanced, after turning a target into a sheep, you can apply two-stage Transfiguration on it.

In the state of the second stage of sheep transformation, the target will change back to the state of a stage sheep after receiving the first over-limit damage.

It will completely return to its original form after receiving over-limit damage again.

In addition, in the state of the second stage of transformation, the damage suffered by the target will be proportionally fed back to the entity after its transformation.

Remarks: The difficulty coefficient of the second stage of changing sheep is about three times that of the first stage)
3. Real Transfiguration (Stone): You can transform yourself into a real stone and get the same experience as the stone.”

……

"Material-free casting" is really delicious.

But Matthew chose "Second Stage Transformation" without hesitation.

This ability is too perverted.

Under normal circumstances, the injury suffered in the state of sheep transformation has nothing to do with the target body, but the second stage of sheep transformation is different.

The fact that light can cause damage to the enemy is enough to make Matthew make a choice.

Not to mention that the second-stage transformation of sheep can also play a lot of tricks.

As for "True Shapeshifting".

This thing is also very powerful, it will give a person the ability to completely change into another form.

The druid's wild form can only be said to greatly simulate the animal form, and there is still a certain distance from the real deformation.

It's a pity that it turned into a stone.

Matthew is not Lorraine, and he has no intention of developing with the beauty of the stone element, so he can only give up.

"It's a pity that there is no status reward."

Matthew noticed that the breakthrough rewards in small fields are relatively average, which may also be related to his breakthrough method.

When he entered the oak tree or the undead, he had the experience of his consciousness leaving his body.

Temperance, Tauren, and Transfiguration are not.

Correspondingly, the rewards are much less.

Matthew's eyes shifted from the harvest of the deformation field.

He looked at the gate of the official post house, and instinctively wanted to go inside, but at this moment, an owl flew over.

Matthew took a silver envelope from the owl.

After taking it apart.

Inside was a text message.

……

"Dear Lord Matthew:

Your application for the crash course of combat spells has been passed. The training method is 1V1, and the trainer is Ms. Margaret with the A1 title.

At present, Ms. Margaret has enough free time. If you are free in the near future, please go to the alliance office to contact her as soon as possible.

The contact details are as follows…”

……

The combat spell course that Matthew has been looking forward to is finally here!
He no longer hesitated.

He strode towards the crucible house with strides.

For ordinary mages, the Crucible House is only open at a quarter past four.

But he is A1.

You can go if you want.

"It seems that something has been forgotten."

"Forget it, we'll talk about it when we meet that Ms. Margaret!"

Matthew's back gradually disappeared at the gate of the post house.

And in the glass window of a dressing room in the second hall.

A little black cat is staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds outside.

at the same time.

On a street of agricultural products not far from him.

A woman dressed as a peasant woman quietly put down the white cat in her arms under a corner:

"Go, Choka."

"I feel Eli's weakness and confusion, this is the best time for you to take advantage of it."

"Don't let mother down."

The white cat crawled a few steps on the dirty ground.

She turned her head and forgot to look at the peasant woman, quickly jumped a few times on the edge of the wall, and disappeared behind the high wall smoothly.
