The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 160 The World Is Like a Dirty Fish Tank
……

"What's the matter, you said."

Matthew asked curiously.

"A world tree has appeared in your woods! Didn't you notice?"

Eli's tone was full of excitement.

Matthew was silent.

How long has it been since you came to Oak Forest!

As for reacting now?

He really wanted to ask the other party just like that.

But in the end, Matthew replied calmly:

"I noticed, I planted it, what's wrong?"

Eli took a deep breath:

"That's World Tree! Matthew, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Matthew said helplessly:
"I haven't seen your figure recently, and I don't want to disturb you."

Eli said carelessly:

"Don't be so polite, if you need help, just call me."

As he said that, his face became serious again:

"There is one more important thing."

Matthew snorted and motioned for the other party to continue.

Eli said:
"A few days ago, when I was the saddest, there was a little white cat who stayed with me all the time.

I had a great time with her.

For a moment I forgot the fact that I was born human.

Sometimes I even think that a kitty is not bad just doing that.

I really like her.

She also likes me very much.

I had already established that we were in love with each other.

Yet just yesterday.

She actually turned into a human in front of me, and told me frankly that she was a spy sent by the Wither Sect!
that moment.

My heart is unacceptable. "

Matthew was a little surprised.

The little white cat actually revealed his identity?What kind of trick is this playing?Playing hard to get?

Immediately Matthew asked:
"Can't you accept that she is a spy of the Wither Cult?"

Eli sighed:
"Compared to this, I can't accept that she is actually a human being. The moment the little white cat became a human, I completely lost interest in her. Let alone talking to her, I didn't even want to look at her !"

"Matthew, I'm a little worried now, do I have a tendency to become a pervert?"

Matthew blinked:

"It's not necessarily a tendency."

"Probably already."

Eli's eyes widened.

Matthew smiled easily:
"Just kidding, it's normal that you like kittens more than humans. After all, cats are so carefree, but humans are much more complicated."

Eli nodded:

"What you said makes sense, and I think so too."

Immediately he was a little surprised and asked:
"Wait, why aren't you surprised at all? She is a spy sent by the Wither Sect! Did you already know?"

Matthew shrugged:

"Not only did I know it long ago, but I also killed all the people of the Wither Cult. You can tell that little white cat, if she wants to stay, she can stay, but don't do stupid things, the Wither Cult The people who are here are lessons from the past.”

Eli looked at Matthew with complicated eyes.

half an hour.

He murmured:

"So you always knew."

"That's why you asked Brother Lorraine to come and accompany me."

"So from the beginning to the end, it wasn't the little white cat who was with me, but you were with me."

Matthew thought about it:
"It's almost like this. I am very worried about your emotional state, but now it seems that your endurance is far stronger than I imagined. You are worthy of being the legendary ancient tiger!"

His eyes were full of encouragement.

Eli smiled, and scratched his head in embarrassment:
"I've chased the little white cat away.

I really lost interest after she became human.

I don't know why, this disillusionment didn't bring me much pain, but a sense of relief.

Perhaps I have learned how to control my emotions and how to be comfortable in the fluctuations of emotions.

I already have the potential to become a mature man in the mouth of Lorraine's boss.

I think from now on, I really won't fall in love with other women again.

I have learned how to bury my emotions deep inside.

This has been of great benefit to my legendary path. "

Seeing Eli's confident and eloquent appearance.

Matthew felt relieved for him, and felt that this scene seemed similar.

"By the way, Boss Lorraine went to Gao Yeling, and he asked me to say hello to you."

Eli Road.

Matthew nodded:

"I see."

Eli is the boss of Lorraine, and Matthew is not unusual. With Lorraine's experience and skills, it is really easy to handle an Eli.

It seems that Lorraine also taught Eli a lot of his scumbag experience.

I just don't know if Eli has really understood the essence of it.

"By the way, I'm going to find something to do now. After seeing the descendants of that World Tree, I think the problem we discussed before must be resolved immediately."

Eli said seriously:

"We must arrange a life sanctuary ceremony for the oak forest. Although the world tree directly draws power from the sea of ​​trees, its own existence will bring a burden to this land. Coupled with the single problem of species, it will take up to three years , a series of minor problems will break out.”

Matthew is also very distressed about this:
"I know, and I'm always paying attention to this, but aren't you incompetent for the Sanctuary of Life?"

Eli said:
"It's not impossible at all. If someone helps me, I will try my best to make it work."

Matthew rolled his eyes:
"Someone help you?"

Eli smiled proudly:
"Matthew, I plan to introduce you to an expert!
If I join hands with him, I am confident that the preliminary layout of the Sanctuary of Life will be completed within a month.

That is a big shot from the Sea of ​​Trees in Myriad Worlds.

You will definitely thank me!

By the way, when you see him later, you must be respectful.

Big people have tempers more or less, you have to bear with it.

do you understand? "

Matthew nodded with a strange expression.

At the moment, Eli led Matthew to the north of the oak forest.

There, a centaur was walking anxiously back and forth in a small circle.

"Mr. Obest, this is Matthew, the lord of the oak forest here. Although he is a necromancer, he unexpectedly loves peace and nature. You must not prejudice him just because of this."

Eli said seriously.

Obest hurriedly said:
"Dare not dare, no prejudice."

Seeing this, Eli said with emotion:
"Myriad Worlds of Trees is indeed the source of nature. I heard that the creatures there are full of arrogance, but now it seems to be all rumors. Mr. Obest is very kind!"

talking.

He looked back at Matthew, and found that Matthew was standing far away with a calm expression.

Eli said anxiously:

"Matthew, come here."

However, at this time, there were four consecutive kneeling sounds from behind him.

Eli looked back and found that Obest was kneeling on the ground with all four legs.

"Mr. Obest, what's the matter with you?"

Eli was shocked.

Obest buried his head deeply:
"I've seen Master Matthew!"

Eli hurried forward and tried to lift him up, but found that he couldn't help Obest.

He turned back and complained:

"Matthew, what are you doing standing there, how impolite you are."

Obest hurriedly pulled Eli and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, big people have a temper more or less, I can bear it."

Eli stared blankly at Obest's guilty expression, and then realized that there seemed to be another story between the two.

At this time, Matthew walked over slowly:
"I really need a sanctuary of life, but this oak forest can only have one owner."

Hearing this, Obest pressed his head deeply on the ground.

"If you are willing, then from now on, you are my master."

Said the proud centaur.

Matthew turned around without saying anything:
"Get up, get out of the ceremony with Eli first, and I will decide whether to stay or not based on the result."

Obest was grateful on the ground.

Saw this scene.

Eli's face was full of confusion, and his heart trembled.

He looked up at the towering canopy.

Only then did a hint of enlightenment arise in my heart.

……

The Sanctuary of Life was handed over to Eli and Obest to prepare.

Matthew just paid a small amount—

Compared with the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of expenses within the alliance, the ceremony of the natural department is really too economical.

When Eli carefully suggested that the Sanctuary of Life might cost hundreds of gold coins, Matthew almost thought he was wrong about a few million.

But that's what it is.

Breaking free from the alliance's exaggerated style, Matthew returned to his peaceful state of mind when planting trees and repairing graves.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

On the third day, it was the eve of going to the Crystal Palace to accept the spell solidification.

Matthew was sitting on a chair in the workshop of the cemetery, flicking two gold coins with his right thumb without interruption.

The portraits of Eckmond and Roderick were bounced into the air in a circle, and then fell down in a whirl.

Snapped!
Matthew stretched out his left hand and put two gold coins on the back of his right hand.

He didn't try to guess which side it was.

They just feel hot to the touch.

Three days ago, Ekmond sent the gold coins to Matthew in a bet.

Still in front of another legendary mage.

This left Matthew no room to refuse.

But this does not mean that he has no doubts about these two gold coins.

He could perceive the extraordinaryness of these two gold coins, but what was the mystery contained in them was obviously impossible to detect with Matthew's strength.

How to deal with these two spell gold coins has become a problem that bothers Matthew.

"It's not without solutions."

Between thoughts.

He took out a magic bag specially used to store a large amount of gold coins.

There are a full [-] gold coins in it, which is also the balance that will be delivered to Suriel.

Matthew took out two gold coins from it, and then threw in the spell gold coins with the heads of two legendary mages printed on them.

As such.

They were in Suriel's hands.

She may be one of the few people in this world who is not afraid of Ekmond at all.

But in a few seconds.

Matthew took out the two spell gold coins again.

"inappropriate."

"Legendary mages are all human spirits, and divine mages know almost everything. It's too risky to play tricks in front of her. It's better to be sincere."

Matthew rubbed his temples.

finally.

He put the two spell gold coins in his jacket pocket.

after this action.

Matthew stared hesitantly at the magic bag containing thirty thousand gold coins.

After staring at it for more than a minute.

Matthew put the bag in a cabinet in the corner of the workshop.

He thought of another solution.

……

"Huh? You want to borrow money from me?"

Crystal Palace, reception room.

Suriel wore a beige ensemble today, giving it an autumn-like crispness.

She folded her arms on her knees with a smile:

"Didn't you say that the [-] gold coins will be collected when you go back?"

Matthew said sincerely:

"Sorry, I couldn't make it up, so I can only borrow it from you."

Suriel narrowed her eyes when she laughed, but she still reminded her:
"Borrowing money from me requires paying interest. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Matthew said calmly:

"I'm sure."

In addition to interest payments, borrowing money from Suriel actually has many potential benefits.

The most direct point is that the two parties have formed an unbreakable creditor's rights relationship.

Unlike spells that are solidified for one service and there is no chance to communicate again, once the debt is owed, Matthew has no plan to pay it back in the near future.

With this bond, at least the two parties are not strangers.

And being able to get in touch with a divine mage, even if you owe money, is actually useful.

If Matthew understood this interest as Suriel's public relations fee.

If you think so.

He felt less uncomfortable.

Suriel looked at him contentedly:
"Clever lad."

"Everyone who owes me money will come into my sight, and that will do more good than harm to you young people."

"But you didn't think so three days ago. What changed your mind?"

Her eyes scrutinized Matthew unscrupulously.

After a few seconds.

Suriel smiled:
"It turned out to be them!"

Matthew only felt a heat in his chest.

The two spell gold coins automatically flew out of his pocket and fell into Suriel's hands.

"Eckmond and Roderick?"

Suriel snorted lightly:
"I probably understand your concerns. You are too cautious, kid. Is even the beloved mage the object of your suspicion?"

Matthew quickly denied:

"I do not have."

"But you're not wrong to suspect that Ekmond is indeed not a good guy."

Suriel tapped one of the gold coins, and the latter turned into a golden voucher with a bang:

"The magic gold coin that Roderick gave you hides a voucher, which can be used in any magic item store produced by Roderick's factory. The amount is 50 minus [-]. This old man is still as stingy as ever."

Then she flicked Eckmond's gold coin, which immediately turned into a dark green gem:
"This is the back door that Ekmond left for you - the dark emerald. Hold this token and you can enter the secret organization "Snake Mountain Society". If Kermond does things, Eckermond will also give them enough benefits. "

Matthew pondered:
"Are these people including Blinken of the Dragon Cult?"

Suriel nodded:
"The Snake Mountain Society needs someone who does black work. Blinken is the former vice president of the Snake Mountain Society."

"Join this organization, Ekmond will help you grow quickly, don't you feel tempted?"

Matthew shook his head:

"I just want to go my own way."

Suriel snapped his fingers:

"Understood, in return for you taking the initiative to borrow money from me, I will dispose of this dark emerald for you. If Ekmond comes to you later, you can say that I took the initiative to steal your spell gold coins. "

"He dare not do anything to you."

Matthew thanked you again and again.

"Actually, if your moral bottom line is a little lower, joining Snake Mountain would be a good choice. I don't know how many mages in the alliance want to join, but they suffer from no chance.

I mean, there are so many people working for Eckmond in the Snake Mountain Society.

But Blinken has only one.

As long as you can pass the test in your heart, this secret organization can help you become stronger. "

Suriel expressed regret for Matthew.

Matthew remains steadfast:

"Joining other organizations too early will only distract me. The current daily affairs are enough for me. I just want to go step by step. I never expect to reach the sky in one step."

Suriel nodded:
"It's a good thing to have your own ideas. You are neither attracted by my construction technique nor confused by Ekmond's organization. I believe you will have your own achievements in the future."

"But you don't need to have too much hostility towards Ekmond, he's actually not as bad as you think.

Well, I admit that I know he has done a lot of bad things, but he shouldn't be bad enough.

The existence of Ekmond is the epitome of this alliance.

For money, for power, for knowledge, mages will do anything.

This is also the reason why many taboo experiments are repeatedly banned within the alliance.

A sense of morality is a luxury for mages.

Only when a mage is strong enough can he have enough leeway to show mercy to mortals.

like me.

I don't agree with their approach, but I can understand them.

After all, not everyone can make a living with proper craftsmanship like me.

I say so.

You might think the alliance is hopeless.

However, whenever the world encounters misfortune, it is this group of hopeless mages in the alliance who stand up and support them.

Also take Eckmond as an example.

As far as I know, he caused Blinken to defect, collected forbidden materials such as Longshan ash under the banner of the Dragon Worship Cult, and was also involved in several cases of human trafficking.

All this is to support his nonsense magic research.

There is nothing to wash these.

Just inhumane.

Even heinous.

But 49 years ago, when the star beast Dolora invaded the continent of Aindor and pierced the barriers of the planes, Ekmond was also on the front line.

That battle was fought very fiercely in the star realm.

A large number of mages died in the battle.

Ekmond himself was also seriously injured. His chest was torn open by the star beast's tail, and his heart was completely crushed. He still cannot heal.

At that time, even the legendary restoration technique almost failed to save him.

Even after defeating Doro La.

The remnant power of the star beast still haunts Ekmond's nerves.

He is said to have completely lost the ability to sleep.

I haven't closed my eyes for 49 years.

His soul was permanently scarred by the star beast.

But that day 49 years ago.

What happened on this continent?

It's just an ice storm that has been blowing on the ice sheet in the north for several months.

There were several heavy rains on the south coast.

No one knew what the star beast's successful breakthrough of the plane barrier meant to the continent of Aindor.

We just know.

After Tianlun Palace was promoted, many mages died in foreign battles every year.

The star world, the abyss, evil spirits, purgatory... too many monsters are eyeing our world.

And the world is still peaceful.

Isn't it? "

Matthew was speechless for a long time after listening.

Suriel looked at him with shining eyes:
"I'm telling you this, not to tell you how great Ekmond is, how great the mages are, it's not like that.

Before Tianlun Palace ascends to the palace.

The gods have also paid a lot to protect the world.

It's just that the responsibility now falls on us.

No matter how strong you are.

Still small for this world.

The only thing we can do is to find our own position and try our best to do our part.

The world is like a dirty fishbowl.

We are like fish in a tank.

If you dislike dirty water, you can choose to be alone.

If you have no bottom line, then joining it is just a carnival.

But if you are really ambitious and want to jump above the water to have a look.

Then you have to work hard, learn to distinguish the way forward in the dirty water, and accumulate strength.

Only then will you be able to see the whole picture of the fish tank one day.

By that time.

You might even want to refill the tank.

And if you want to do it.

Do you know what is needed? "

Matthew said seriously:

"Please advise."

"money!"

"money!"

"It's still money!"

Suriel snapped his fingers happily got up and said:

"Let's go to the workshop."

"Take off your clothes first."
