The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 140
……

The official post house is not far from the Lord's Mansion.

Matthew's footsteps were flying, and he soon came to the gate of the post house. He was about to rush in, but after thinking for a while, he calmed down and chose another way.

In an unnoticed corner, Matthew turned into a raven and spread his wings and flew over the high wall of the post house. The weeds by the wall and the dust on the ground came into view.

Several stone statues were piled crookedly at the corner of the corridor.

On the cornice of the second hall, the statues of gargoyles were stunned, and it seemed that they were made by apprentices.

Matthew flew near the courtyard, and soon found two figures, one black and one white, playing with each other.

He stopped on a higher cornice, silently watching the scene below.

Heitantou is teaching the little white cat how to deal with mice.

But seeing his agility, with a stride, he slapped a fat and oily mouse to the ground.

The little white cat shook its tail and squeaked unconvinced.

Heitan tilted his head and meowed a few times, then he slowly let go of his paws.

Swish.

The fat mouse showed a lightning speed that was not commensurate with its body, and rushed past the little white cat.

The latter chased after him not to be outdone.

Her speed was obviously not slow either, within a few bursts of breathing, she was about to catch up to the mouse.

However, at the critical moment, Fat Mouse made a flexible turn, allowing himself a little room to survive.

Immediately afterwards, it slammed into the grass.

The little white cat rushed over eagerly, but bumped into a rock with a bang.

She was knocked into a daze, and a lump quickly swelled up on her forehead.

Heitan showed an expression of "I really can't help you".

While the little white cat was coquettishly moaning on the ground, he quickly went around behind the grass, where there was a shallow nest.

He didn't care how deep the nest was, he swung his paws and slapped it indiscriminately, then reached in and dug it out for a while, and actually pulled out the fat mouse directly!
There are five or six wings!
These fat rats were cornered by Heitantou, and they wanted to fight desperately with their teeth and claws.

As a result, Heitantou raised his paw and slapped each of them.

They all fainted.

By this time.

Only then did the little white cat take graceful steps, and approached aggrievedly.

Heitan straightened his chest.

The little white cat meowed.

As if praising his strength and wisdom.

The summer sun shines on them through the gaps in the leaves.

A few cat hairs shook off, were swept up by the breeze, and flew to an unknown distance.

This scene is so warm and harmonious.

Matthew watched all this silently, then flapped his wings and flew away.

He couldn't bear it.

It's too cruel for Eli to get over the pain of being in love with a man, and then tell him that he's in love with another enemy.

But the shadow of the Wither Order still lingers.

This made Matthew a little upset.

The Scourge Cult aims to destroy everything, except for the tricks of the Scar of the Dead, there is no targeting of anyone;

The Brotherhood of Silver Frost set fires not only to the woods, but also in cities;

Only the Blighters of the Blight Order!

They are the enemies of nature.

As a Necromancer, Matthew would never allow Blighters to appear near his territory.

If it appears.

You have to kill them all!
That little white cat was clearly not a Blighter yet, and if it was, Eli would have smelled it by now.

Matthew speculates that the Blight have changed their ways.

They still think about their oak forest, but they want to accomplish this goal by corrupting Eli.

Matthew thought they were delusional.

He has faith in Eli.

No matter how much pain this child endures, he will never vent his anger on others, let alone the nature he loves.

"If this white cat has no bad deeds before, it's better to find a way to dig it up. Whether it's dealing with the Wither Cult, or being happy with Eli, it's all valuable."

Matthew secretly thought.

It's a pity that the other party is not undead, otherwise his instigation would have already been on the other party's head.

He paced back and forth outside the posthouse.

It didn't take long for Lorraine to rush over:

"You're going too fast, Matthew, you haven't heard my ballad--

There is also a necromancer in the story who turns into a raven.

He couldn't bear to hurt his companion again.

So the beloved bard came to the rescue.

The clever Lothoren played tricks.

The conspiracy of the Blighters is about to fail!
Haha, how is my singing? "

Matthew forced a smile:
"You sang well, but next time you're on the street, it's better to cover up your chest hair. The atmosphere in Rolling Stone Town is relatively conservative, so don't let others misunderstand."

As he spoke, he noticed the content of Lorraine's singing, so he asked again:

"Do you have any plans?"

Lorraine shook his head:
"I haven't figured it out yet. The phrase 'Lothoron's tricks' is for the rhyme, otherwise people will think that I'm the kind of bard who can't even rhyme well."

"Why, didn't you confess to your little brother?"

Matthew sighed:

"He's suffered a lot—or, he seems to have been suffering since he's known me.

Sometimes I think Eli would be happier if he stayed away from me. "

Lorraine nodded half-understanding:
"It sounds complicated, how did you know each other?"

Matthew recalls:
"Through his ex-girlfriend."

Lorraine's eyes brightened:
"understood."

Matthew is full of question marks:

"What do you understand?"

Lorraine showed an ambiguous smile.

Fearing that he might misunderstand, Matthew told the story of himself and Eli.

Lorraine suddenly realized after listening.

Then he slapped his thigh:
"I could have played him hard!"

"Matthew, you shouldn't expose my identity."

Matthew was surprised:
"Are you the devil?"

Lorraine shook his head and explained:

"In my opinion, the biggest reason why your little brother is still so easily tempted is that his experience is not painful enough!"

"Based on my experience, young boys will more or less have this problem, but as long as they experience a real pain, they have a chance to wake up."

"Give him to me, Matthew, I'm good at helping boys grow - in my own way."

Matthew looked at him suspiciously:
"You won't mess around, will you?"

Lorraine showed a dissatisfied expression:
"Have some confidence in me, okay? I'm the most reliable one among the southern demigods!"

Matthew hurriedly asked:

"How many demigods are there in the south?"

Lorraine said uncertainly:
"Two and a half?"

Matthew wondered:
"Why is there half of it?"

Lorraine explained:
"Half that one has gone mad, wandering the barren lands of the southwest, talking stupid things about the end of the world all day long."

Matthew asked again:

"Then there is another one? Why do you think he is not as reliable as you?"

Lorraine smiled and said:
"Oh, the mental state of the other demigod is not stable, he has a wrong perception of his racial identity.

He lives in the woods south of Eversong Forest.

In recent years, he has often met outsiders with a half-deer, half-human appearance.

He sometimes claims to be a human. "

Matthew said worriedly:

"Sometimes? In other words, he thinks he is not a human being at other times?"

"Did he lose his awareness of being a human because he turned into a deer for a long time?"

Unexpectedly, Lorraine shook his head and said:
"No, in fact he has nothing to do with humans, he's just a deer!"

Matthew: "..."

Your demigod circle is really chaotic!

Now he discussed with Lorraine for a while, and the latter swore to Matthew with his godhead that he would give him a "secret teaching" for boys without hurting Eli.

In the end, help Eli complete his growth.

Although Matthew was still a little worried, hospitality was hard to come by after all.

He also considered that Lorraine is indeed well-informed, and his strength is still a demigod. If he can really enlighten Eli successfully, it would be a good talk.

Finally Matthew agreed.

After that, he asked Lorraine if he knew the trace of the Wither Order.

Matthew temporarily let the little white cat go, but he didn't intend to let go of the mastermind behind her.

Unfortunately.

There is a certain randomness to Lorraine's gossip, and the content of the news has to be dramatic.

The rest of the Cult of the Blight don't seem to have much to talk about.

So Lorraine couldn't get any more useful information.

But Matthew was not discouraged.

He intends to use other methods to find the group of Blighters!
The second half of the day is still planting trees and repairing graves.

During this period.

Leila came to the cemetery to say goodbye to Matthew.

She is carrying a cargo bag, which contains four main items of the Oak Chamber of Commerce:
"Green Potion".

"Sulfur Essence".

"Dust of Appearance".

"Scroll of Ice Storm".

In addition, there is a set of sword oil for Regat.

Most of these are sold cheaply near Rolling Stone Town, but you can sell high-priced things in Cordo City.

Among them, herbal potions can significantly increase a person's vitality.

Sulfur Essence is the extract of sulfur, which is also an essential material for many evocation spells, especially those related to fire. The Gold Coast is seriously short of sulfur, and this thing will be the key product of the Oak Chamber of Commerce.

Both the Dust of Appearance and the Scroll of Ice Element were bought by Matthew from the Alliance Mall.

The alliance is not cheap, but Kordo City can sell it at a higher price.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Matthew didn't buy too many of these two things.

Putting a batch of goods in the past to test the water first, and then manipulating the relationship between supply and demand, this is Matthew's way of making money.

Although there are many ways for the alliance to make money, compared to running a business, the money earned is not so rich, but Matthew knows the truth that walking on one leg can't go far.

He encouraged Laila a few words, and gave her an amulet he made himself, wishing her good luck on the road.

This made Laila, who was already determined, even more loyal.

She found a place to rest near the cemetery.

Just wait until it gets dark.

Just go straight to the north of Zeshui City through the Moon Obscure Forest, and after that, it will be a long journey through the rainforest.

She needs to nourish her spirit and ensure her physical strength.

After making arrangements for Laila.

Matthew continued to plant trees and repair graves.

Accompanied by the formation of the necropolis ceremonial grounds.

He could feel that the integration speed of the elements in the undead domain had become much faster.

In the current domain matrix, half of the undead have been integrated.

But the faster one is the oak.

I don't know if it was the reason why he was kicked out by the eagle-faced man before he went in last time.

Unknowingly, the oak tree has reached two-thirds of the position, and will soon be able to carry out the next field exploration.

This time.

Matthew will prepare ahead of time.

The other party blocked him from going deep into the oak tree field twice, and Matthew naturally didn't intend to give him a good look.

He's going to give the Eagle Face a head-on blow!

……

"Hint: You made a tombstone!
A silvermoon zombie got a tombstone as his habitat, he was satisfied and excited about it, and his soul fire grew a little bit.

He intends to carry this tombstone on his back all the time.

You got a new subspecies of undead: Tombstone Zombies!

Tombstone Zombie: No matter where they go, they will carry that tombstone on their backs. The tombstone will provide them with negative energy and also provide them with certain defenses or weapons. "

……

When Matthew was repairing the grave, he accidentally discovered that a new subspecies had been born among the silver moon zombies.

It's just that he looks left and right.

There is nothing unusual about such zombies carrying tombstones.

In normal state.

With their hands behind their backs, they looked like human laborers.

In a fighting stance.

They will use the tombstone as a weapon to smash people, and they can also use the tombstone as a shield.

It looks beautiful, but in the end it is not flexible enough.

Matthew had no interest in promoting the subspecies on a large scale, and after opening a cell for the Tombstone Zombie, he went back to his own business.

Today he plans to take some time to study the psychic items brought back from the laboratory.

Previous research has not progressed.

This is because the psychic flashlight, like the psychic staff, requires an "Advanced Appraisal Scroll".

Matthew's plan to rely on his psychic knowledge to identify it failed.

So he honestly went to the Alliance Mall to buy two scrolls.

Open today!
Magical runes symbolizing knowledge of other worlds circled around the small flashlight.

It sank in quickly.

Followed by.

Lines of information appeared in front of Matthew.

……

"Reminder: Identification successful!

You got the "Casual Look Flashlight"!
Description: You can use this flashlight for general lighting, and you can also use it to spy on the items stored in other people's backpacks or storage props.

1. Lighting: Turn on the flashlight to enter regular lighting mode.

The brightness of the flashlight will depend on how excited you are, the more excited you are, the brighter the light will be.

Remarks: Please do not use this product as a heart detector!Effective but imprecise.

2. Just take a look: Turn on the flashlight and say the activation spell "I'll just take a look" in the local common language.

At this point, you only need to aim the faint red light from the flashlight at the target.

You will randomly get the detailed information of 3~6 items in the opponent's backpack or storage props!

3. Current energy: 1/4 grid (rechargeable)
Charging method: unknown (requires more psionic knowledge)”

……

"That's kind of interesting."

With a move in his heart, Matthew turned on the flashlight and said:

"I'll just take a look."

A red light glowed on the tip of the flashlight.

Matthew swayed casually, and happened to meet Peggy who was drinking.

……

"You found the following items on Peggy—

Carry:

Purgatory food illustration;

Gold coins*347;

Dark Gold Bone Blade;

Dimensional Backpack:

Horn of the Grass Horde (broken);
Tauren Heart (broken);
sacrificial staff;"

……

Matthew was a little surprised.

It’s fine to hide a small treasury behind her back. Why does Peggy have such things as "Horn of the Green Grass Tribe", "Heart of the Tauren" and "Sacrificial Staff" on her body?
He checked the details.

Discovered that "The Horn of the Green Grass Tribe" can actually summon the tauren from another world!
"Heart of the Tauren" is used to build the Tauren tribe.

The effect of the "sacrifice staff" is unknown.

It is probably an indispensable prop in the sacrificial etiquette of the tauren.

Is this guy trying to plot a comeback behind his back?

"It's not like it?"

Matthew groaned and called Peggy over, and asked straight to the point where the items came from.

Unexpectedly, Peggy looked confused:
"what are you saying?"

"How can I have a heart of a tauren, a horn of a tauren, or a staff of a tauren?"

"and many more!"

"Where did I get the backpack!"

Matthew froze for a moment.

Right.

Paige was empty.

Since we met, she has no habit of wearing clothes, let alone a backpack.

Paige, for all her personality and playfulness, would not lie to Matthew about this.

Matthew quickly realized—

If the flashlight is right.

Then there may be a dimensional backpack on Peggy's body that she didn't even notice!

This may be the special ability of some high-level undead.

Matthew told Paige about this discovery.

Both are very excited.

"Come on Matthew!"

"You can't let the good things hide on me all the time, tear me down soon!"

Paige twisted her thighs off excitedly.

The two of them worked hard all afternoon, even Peggy's skull was almost lifted, but they didn't find any trace of the dimensional backpack!

"Could it be in the soul fire?"

Paige's head bounced on the ground.

"Why don't you, Matthew, cut my soul open to see."

Matthew pondered:
"Forget it, Peggy, I'm afraid that dimensional backpack is not so easy to find."

"Maybe you have to wait until your level is higher to open it."

Peggy said obediently:

"Good Matthew."

"Now, please help me fight back!"

Matthew looked at the bones in the place.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his temple!
……

The next morning.

Matthew came outside the cauldron with dark circles under his eyes.

The first group of mages from the alliance has arrived in Rolling Stone Town, and the leader of the group is the white-robed mage Ekmond who is full of joy.

"Matthew? What's the matter with you?"

Eckmond looked at him strangely:
"Why do you still have half of your pelvis hanging around your neck?"

Matthew stuffed those bones into the bag as if he had just woken up from a dream.

A golden light flashed in Eckmond's eyes, and he said reproachfully:

"How can you play with your skeleton so late?"

"Staying up late hurts the body!"

"Even a young mage like you has to know how to exercise restraint!"

Matthew apologized repeatedly.

Ekmond didn't say anything more, he threw out a large magic carpet, and the group of mid-level mages behind him sat on it without saying a word.

"Take us to the Scar of the Dead to have a look."

Eckmond said kindly.

Matthew followed on the magic carpet.

the next half day.

He led the mages of the Alliance to visit the Scar of the Dead and his own protective umbrella.

As Van Dahl said.

Matthew's project is actually nothing to see, and the introduction is over in half a day.

It was noon.

Eckmond asked about Matthew's arrangement.

Matthew said enthusiastically:

"I arranged a lunch for you at Xigu Farm. Although the food in the country may not suit everyone's taste, it is still a kind of life experience."

Ekmond immediately surrounded everyone with a magic carpet.

A group of people flew in the direction of the South Trading Station on a giant magic carpet.

And the destination of their trip——

West Valley Farm.

A tense negotiation is about to begin.

Negotiators from Hongtu Mountain and Rolling Stone Town have already taken their positions.

The Hongtushan side, which holds the initiative in the war, took the lead in launching an attack and was aggressive:

"With all due respect, I don't see any value in forming an alliance in Rolling Stone Town, but the lord personally gave the order, so I came here to take a look."

"It was really disappointing after meeting!"

"Rolling Stone Town actually only came to you three crooked melons and cracked dates——

A little old man dressed like a dog;

A sissy little boy;
And you, the chest hair is exposed, do you understand the most basic respect between people! "

Opposite the negotiating table.

Richard, Zeller, and Lorraine who were named looked at each other.

Just when they were about to speak.

Suddenly there was a sharp whistle from the sky.

A giant magic carpet.

Slowly landed outside the farm.
