The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 181 Mage Killer and World Events
……

After reading the letter, Matthew couldn't help but smile.

Lumiere is such a genius—

He even thought of asking a necromancer to collect a large number of homeless corpses.

In a sense, it is also a way to solve the problem.

It's just hard to say whether it can be buried in the ground.

He recalled.

The Apple Avenue is a rich road running between the east coast and inland territories such as the Red Mountains.

The terrain in that area is mostly hilly, and it is famous for the many apple trees growing on both sides of the road.

Apple Avenue is north of Deep Blue Harbor and south of Lion City, and a certain section is indeed a buffer between the two sides.

It is not surprising that there will be a large number of corpses temporarily piling up on the East Coast.

But if there is no one to deal with it for a long time, there will be a problem.

"You can find a day and ride a Pegasus to have a look."

With so many corpses, Matthew would be lying if he said he was not moved, but if some of the soldiers' corpses were claimed by their families, he would be ashamed to take them away by force.

He was, after all, a fine necromancer.

After folding the letter, Matthew didn't rush to write a reply, because Lumiere didn't mention this in this letter.

Instead, he claimed that he would continue north, and that if Matthew wanted to write a letter, he didn't know where to send it.

Let's wait for the future king of the rainforest to settle down again.

At the moment he took out a sketched map——

He still copied this map from Lei Jia, and the proportions are terrible, so he can only look at it roughly.

After roughly determining the location of Apple Avenue.

Matthew began to wonder when exactly he was going to make the trip.

two hours later.

He saw the energetic little Patton in the closed sulfur mine.

He seemed to be in good condition, and even changed into a decent leather uniform. He was taller and mightier than the ordinary Minotaur.

"How about it?"

Matthew was concerned about his experience in Bigfoot that day.

Little Parton said confidently:
"I have successfully joined Stu Luke Industry and served as the workshop director of the third workshop of the explosives factory."

Matthew was a little surprised:
"You found that demon man named Simmons?"

Little Patton shook his head:
"That Simmons looked like a shrewd ghost. I didn't want to deal with him in this state, so I found another way to join Sturuk Industries."

Matthew looked at him with interest, handed him a glass of milk, and motioned him to continue.

Little Patton drank the milk in one gulp, and said while frothing the milk:
"After I returned to Bigfoot, I first went to find a few minotaur homeless men on the side of the road. Didn't the minotaur ranger named Conley tell us that these homeless men were once employees of Sturuk Industries? I just asked them to find out."

Matthew asked:

"As soon as you asked in the past, they were very cooperative?"

Little Patton waved his hand:
"Of course not. Those people are hopeless guys. They have been ruined by Stulluk Industry, but they dare not even complain publicly. If there is no benefit, how dare they tell the situation in the factory? "

"However, this kind of person is easy to deal with. I promised to help them get sulfur after I went in. Their eyes lit up when they heard it, and they immediately said everything."

"After one night of asking, I even knew how many meat toilets there are in the house of the director of a certain branch factory."

"So the next morning, I went to the factory with the most complete information in my hand. That factory has a good position in the Sturuk industry and is responsible for the initial production and processing of explosives."

"When I went to report in the morning, a female demon saw that I was strong, so she asked me to work in the workshop she managed. I naturally wished for it."

"Just this morning, the original workshop director was late because he slept late. The female demon was furious and dismissed his position and let me take care of him temporarily. So I became the workshop director on the first day of work. Six assembly lines for the production of explosives."

"I spent the whole morning observing and studying the content of the assembly line. I found that the factory of Stuluke Industry was not as perfect as I imagined. There is a lot of room for improvement in their product line. I secretly put these points It's all in my heart."

"In the afternoon, the female demon asked me to go to her room to talk.

In her room, I took the opportunity to present my ideas for improving the product line.

And when I leave her room.

He has become the official workshop director. "

Matthew was taken aback when he heard that:

"Do you have a unique talent in workshop management?"

"That's not it."

Little Patton spread his hands helplessly:
"She scoffed at my ideas for improvement."

"But she repeatedly praised my massage skills and hinted that I would often go to her office in the future."

"Ahem, these details are not important. The important thing is that it took me only one day to gain a firm foothold in Stulluk Industry. I was safe before that female demon ate me up. So you don't have to worry about my safety."

Matthew said nothing.

He changed the subject:

"Then did you find any major discoveries in the factory of Sturuk Industries?"

"Have!"

Little Patton said in a deep voice:

"I found out that not only are they using sulfur ore to make a lot of explosives, but they're also making a cannon called Mage Killer!"

Mage killer?
The name is quite deceiving.

Matthew hurriedly asked:

"What does that artillery look like? What's its function?"

Little Patton took out a brand new silver silk sac from his waist and handed it to Matthew:
"I stole a door and you can take a look."

Matthew was surprised:

"Can you actually steal their product?"

"Also, where did you get the storage props?"

Little Patton let out an "oh" and explained:
"I sneaked into their warehouse after get off work, and Stu Luke Industries was tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

Warehouses are unattended.

I see that several similar storage props are thrown in the corner and no one wants them.

Just took one casually.

So does artillery.

There is a whole half of the warehouse, the number is too large for me to count, and it is estimated that no one will know if a door is stolen.

I also touched some gunpowder and more sulfur ore.

Don't say it yet.

This storage item is really big, even bigger than the storage ring Rhaegar often brags about! "

Matthew took the silk sac and took a look.

This thing is really big.

There are four grids inside.

A cannon was stuffed into one of the grids, and there was a surplus beside it.

The other three grids are filled with explosive barrels and sulfur bags.

He weighed the silk sac, and it was worth more than two thousand gold coins.

Little Patton really has a bit of ability to exploit.

"It's not suitable to use artillery here, let's go to the surface to see."

While talking, Matthew took little Patton out of the ground, and came to the north of the oak forest and near the scar of the dead in the northeast of the protective umbrella.

He took out the cannon and placed it on the top of the hill, facing the direction of the Scar of the Dead.

on the data bar.

……

"You got the mage "Killer Seventeen (Screaming Cannon)".

Screaming Cannon: After using this cannon, mages in a certain area can lose the ability to cast spells. "

……

"Manufacturing the forbidden area? So powerful?"

Matthew signaled Patton Jr. to fire.

The latter spent a day in the workshop of Stuluke Industry, and he has already mastered the relevant knowledge by heart.

At that moment, he slightly adjusted the barrel, threw a ball of burning dry grass into it, and then slammed down the wrench next to it.

boom!
A loud noise louder than thunder rang in the ears of the two of them.

A flame burst out from the barrel.

However, no damage was seen to any buildings in front of them.

when it is.

Matthew couldn't help covering his ears with his hands, and he walked a few steps in a twitch.

It took me a long time to recover.

……

"Warning: You suffered scream damage and your hearing was temporarily reduced to 10%!

Your concentration is temporarily deducted by 80%.

Duration: 15 minutes. "

……

"Grass!"

"What artillery, it's just a noise maker!"

Matthew now finally understands how it works.

If you dare to love the Antu Empire, you should use noise to greet the Master, right?

Have to admit.

This is actually a way of thinking for mages.

Concentration is the lifeblood of a mage.

Any action that can weaken concentration has the potential to cause great harm to the mage.

Especially in the case of information asymmetry, a large number of screaming artillery is very likely to have a final effect in attacking places where mages gather.

"But in theory, such intense sound waves can also cause great damage to undead creatures. Behind Stulluk Industries is a space necromancer army. They dare to use this method to deal with mages, and they must have self-protection means. "

Matthew pondered for a while.

If you know the function of this thing, it is not difficult to prevent it. It will be much better to plug your ears with cotton.

Not to mention the sound insulation spell.

"It seems that the learning schedule of the sound insulation spell has to be moved forward."

Matthew and little Patton stared at each other.

Both of them went back to the oak forest while picking out their ears.

along the way.

Little Parton also took out a light bulb from his crotch and gave Matthew strokes.

Matthew originally wanted to use a thunderbolt sword to see if the current stimulation could light up the light bulb, but his concentration was too low to use it at all, so he had to give up temporarily.

The two did not go far.

A few figures approached from the side of the oak forest.

Matthew took a closer look.

It turned out that Zeller had sent Sif over.

"Starting tonight, Sif will be in your hands."

"I hope to keep him safe."

Zeller seriously pushed the blushing Sif to Matthew's side.

Little Patton was dumbfounded and pulled out his ears:

"Wait, are you just living with my cousin?"

"I haven't prepared your wedding gift yet!"

Matthew couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, so he just nodded:
"Okay, I know."

Sif blushed even more now.

Zeller also looked at Matthew a little strangely, surprised by his straightforwardness.

However, his attention was more concentrated on Little Patton.

In the eyes of the latter's embarrassment.

Zeller said sternly:

“Come with me, don’t trouble Matthew anymore.”

However, little Patton pulled out his ears vigorously:

"what?"

"what are you saying?"

"Louder I can't hear you!"

So Zeller repeated what he had just said.

But Little Parton still couldn't hear.

He looked at Zeller suspiciously.

The latter mistakenly thought that this guy was pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he picked up Little Parton without saying a word, and was about to push him in the direction of Rolling Stone Town.

Before leaving, he said to Matthew:

"Looks like our tax collector needs to clear his head."

"I'll leave it to you here, remember to plug the crack in time and space as soon as possible."

Matthew still didn't know much about it, but he saw Zeller's mouth shape clearly in the second half of the sentence, so he nodded.

Little Patton was crushed away in a daze.

Sif lowered her head and was led into the darkness by Matthew.

"You will live in my cemetery for the next two days. The environment there is definitely not as good as the Lord's Mansion. I can only wrong you."

When passing an oak tree.

An oak goblin flew out and cast a nature spell on Matthew, restoring his hearing.

He finally got out of that hazy state and was able to communicate with people normally.

Sif bowed his head and said:
"It's okay, it's an extraordinary time, Uncle Zeller told me all about it."

Matthew nodded slightly.

This Uncle Zeller made him feel a little awkward.

But think about it carefully.

Zeller and Rega are both old men in their forties, and they are indeed a little bit lucky with their generation.

And Little Parton and Sif were obviously half a generation younger than him.

"It seems that we still have to talk about each other."

Matthew thought secretly.

Otherwise, wouldn't Sif want to call herself Uncle Matthew?
and many more.

Think about it, what's the matter with being a little exciting?

He shook his head vigorously, quite sure that it was a symptom of lack of concentration, not what he really thought in his heart.

So he opened his mouth and said:

"By the way, where's that little devil named Nini?"

Sif said softly:

"I sealed her up, I don't like Nini, she is a bad woman."

"Matthew, do you like bad women?"

like.

But Matthew didn't have the nerve to say it.

He just coughed and tried to change the subject.

But at this time.

The two of them had already arrived at the cemetery along the stone ladder, not far away was Matthew's workshop, and now he vacated the next bedroom for Sif, while he let the troll Xinwak work overtime overnight, in the A new stone house was built next to it.

"I'm going to find Peggy in the kitchen!"

The cold environment in the cemetery obviously made Sif uncomfortable.

She tried to find people she knew well.

Yet just to the kitchen door.

She saw that besides Peggy, there was another young and beautiful girl here.

Sif silently watched Qiuka.

Qiuka also looked at Sif curiously.

The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became weird.

As soon as Matthew came over, he felt a little regretful.

But seeing Sif smiled and asked:

"Who is this lady? Can you introduce me, Matthew."

Matthew was still figuring out how to introduce Chouka's complicated history.

Peggy came in through another door.

She looked at Sif in surprise, and went to hug her princess and turned around three times:

"Oh, my baby, I heard from Matthew that you have a fever, but why do I think you don't have a fever at all?!"

"It's really great that you can recover your health. I haven't studied the cookbook last time. I just have a few questions for you."

"Come, come, let me introduce you, Qiuka is our family's mascot, who is responsible for catching mice and lice."

With that said, Peggy hugged Sif firmly with one hand, and put the other hand on Qiuka's shoulder:
"Come on Qiuka, make a change and let my precious Sif see the world."

Although the expression looks a little reluctant.

But Qiuka still turned into a little white cat, jumping and jumping on the ground.

The tension on Sif's face disappeared instantly.

quickly.

There was laughter one after another in the kitchen.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

Withdrew silently.

"This kind of thing has to be Peggy, she seems to really please women."

But looking at the scene of the three laughing and laughing.

Matthew suddenly felt a little lost.

He couldn't help but glance at the data bar.

Fortunately.

It's fine if there are no strange elements added to the tauren domain!
……

After settling Sif.

Matthew inspected a circle of underground.

Things are booming in the cemetery.

The arrival of the black warrior Argus has greatly increased the activity here.

This is a guy who can't sit still.

And a sense of ownership.

As early as the first day when Matthew ordered the formation of the cemetery army, Argus was running non-stop in every corner of the cemetery, looking for suitable soldiers.

He was in no hurry.

It is after an in-depth understanding of the quality and background of each cemetery member.

A complete list was gradually drawn up.

I just met Matthew today, and Argus brought everyone on the list.

Matthew made a quick count.

It was found that Argus selected six black warriors, twelve zombies, twelve skeletons, and 24 ghosts——

And two humans?

Matthew pointed to the two bewildered arsonists and asked strangely:

"They are human beings, can they also be incorporated into the army of the undead?"

Agus explained:

"I think their qualities are very good, and they are very suitable for transformation into undead."

The faces of the two arsonists suddenly turned pale.

They knelt on the ground in unison, trembling:

"Master Matthew!"

"We don't dare to be lazy at work anymore!"

"Please don't kill us."

Matthew hasn't spoken yet.

Argus persuaded with a pleasant face:

"Don't be afraid, becoming an undead is not as bad as you imagined. Look at me, isn't it normal?"

The arsonists trembled even more.

Matthew waved his hand to temporarily stop Argus' wild thoughts.

He asked again:

"Why are there so many ghosts?"

Agus explained:

"Ghosts are more mobile, and their average level is higher. I think they are very suitable for scouting duties."

Matthew's heart moved:
"Can you train different arms separately?"

Argus said modestly:
"know a little."

Matthew immediately waved his hand:
"Okay, that's the list for the first patrol team. You can train whoever you want in the future!"

Argus looked at the two arsonists on the ground, hesitated to speak:

"My lord, then they..."

Matthew said blankly:

"Don't worry, look at the production of Blazing Glue next week before making a decision."

The two arsonists were gratefully escorted back to the workshop.

When Matthew passed by later.

I found that the work inside was in full swing.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the arsonists working, Matthew suspected that if he gave them a sewing machine, they would be able to step on it into a hot wheel!

"It's all good."

Matthew smiled and left the workshop window.

The other residents of the cemetery are quite at ease.

The Scarlet Flame Nightmare went deeper into the dungeon to fight the autumn wind twice in three days. At first, Matthew was a little worried, but after a long time, he let him go.

After all, this guy can step into the "ether plane", and his ability to escape is not low, so there is no need to worry too much.

And not among the skeletons and zombies who were not conscripted.

A game of dice seems to be popular lately.

Wherever Matthew went, he could see skeletons or zombies in groups, throwing dice dug out of stones there.

Needless to say.

This crooked trend must have been brought out by Renee Smee.

It's a pity that Matthew turned half a circle and didn't bump into Renee Smee.

We can only talk to each other next time we meet.

And the good news is not without—

First, Matthew found that A Bing's "training with the same family" finally had an effect.

Two skeleton soldiers transformed into "skeleton assassins".

But these two people don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and they have maintained a stealthy state since they got the assassin template.

This made Argus stunned when he caught the strong men!

Matthew also discovered this change when he came to check the skull heads on a whim.

The level of these two skeleton assassins has been raised to LV10. They have certain intelligence and can hear Matthew's simple instructions. Their strength is quite impressive.

After thinking about it, Matthew sent them to Argus' patrol team.

Let them take charge of the stalking tasks around the cemetery.

Second, Matthew noticed that in some corners of the cemetery, a small amount of "negative energy crystal clusters" grew.

This is a good magic material.

After a little grinding and purification of the negative energy crystal clusters, you can get the expensive "negative energy crystal salt".

Blend crystal salt with underground spring water in a certain proportion.

You can get a potion of "Ansura Suspension".

The Ansura suspension can be used to restore the life and state of the undead, and it can also nourish the soul fire in a small way, which is what the undead dream of.

There are not many negative energy crystal clusters in the cemetery now.

Matthew was not in a hurry to start collecting.

He was afraid that collecting too early would affect the formation of more crystal clusters.

"I remember that Black Locust has a great effect on promoting the growth of negative energy crystal clusters, so we still have to find a way to make more varieties."

Looking at the number of sparse black locusts around the cemetery.

Matthew thought to himself.

Come back from a tour.

The lights in Sif's room next door were turned off.

Matthew bypassed the door and walked into the stone house next to him, planning to review the combat skills he learned a while ago.

But at this time.

His brain suddenly trembled slightly.

Followed by.

A series of magnificent or detailed pictures flooded into his mind like movie clips!
In an instant.

The pores all over his body couldn't help shrinking!

……
