The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 195 Howl of Broken Bones, Synchro Complete!
……

Following the natural induction of the question, Matthew came to the edge of the woods quietly.

Neither is required to start the realm.

The surrounding oak trees scrambled to report the location of the field mouse to Matthew.

It was hiding in a cave on the hillside at the moment, and a pair of faint little eyes drifted towards the woods from time to time.

obviously.

This is someone spying on every move of the oak forest through this magic pet.

Because it hadn't entered the woods, Matthew couldn't feel it either.

Matthew didn't say anything, he quietly put a "hunting mark" on the field mouse, and then backed away.

Asking questions is indeed a very useful ability.

Except Peggy and the field mouse.

Matthew also got lots and lots of character profiles, and other information.

However, the reason why the information displayed this time is so comprehensive is also related to the fact that this is Matthew's territory.

Waiting until a place where I am not familiar with life.

The quality and quantity of information may be greatly compromised.

But even so.

Asking nature is still a very valuable ability.

Matthew read the information quickly and copied useful content on the manuscript from time to time.

The night is getting darker.

Suddenly, the highlighted mark in his field of vision began to move.

Matthew immediately left the cemetery, turned into a raven, and followed the field mouse far away.

A familiar is a magical being.

Although they can perform the monitoring tasks of their masters, their masters must regularly feed them mana.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the magical life to continue working for a long time.

Matthew wondered how long the field mouse had been watching the oak woods.

But it is not difficult to see from the opponent's familiar return route, at least it is not the first time to return to Rolling Stone Town from the oak forest.

The voles entered Rolling Stone and swarmed into the business district.

Matthew's raven calmly stalked the field mouse.

Soon.

As he passed through a busy neighborhood.

The field mouse stopped moving.

The highlighted hunting markers showed that the opponent stopped on the third floor of a conspicuous building.

Matthew landed on the fence on the side of the road.

The words Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce are hung on the main entrance of that building.

He couldn't see the vole interacting with its owner, but that Thomas was probably inside.

"The Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce is Lei Jia's property, so is it Lei Jia's?"

Matthew shook his head secretly, pushing this ridiculous thought out of his mind.

He waited outside for a while.

After about an hour.

Satisfied, the field mouse climbed out of the building, and once again ran diligently towards the oak forest.

The Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce is full of people.

Even at night, there were quite a few people coming and going from the direction of the main entrance, and Matthew was unable to find the owner of the field mouse.

After a while.

He flapped his wings and flew to the Lord's Mansion.

As Matthew had expected, the office hall was still brightly lit under the night.

Zeller is still busy.

Matthew knocked on the door and walked in.

"Are you here to ask me for reimbursement?"

"Then you have to act quickly, because in a few days, Rhaegar's small treasury will be squandered by me."

When Zeller saw Matthew, the tiredness on his face eased a lot. He rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and his eyes became clearer.

"Of course reimbursement is a top priority, but I have something more urgent to ask you. Is there a warlock named Thomas among the members of the Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce?"

Matthew asked tentatively.

Zeller nodded and said:
"There is such a person.

He is the Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce's deputy for the Western Trade Route, second only to director Andre.

They are jointly responsible for the trade between the Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce and several western territories.

The previous cotton agreement between Rolling Stone Town and Gao Yeling was facilitated by Andre.

The middle-aged man named Thomas is said to have contributed a lot. "

"But in my impression, he is just an ordinary person, not a warlock at all."

Matthew asked:
"So when was the last time you saw Thomas?"

The first thing he suspected was the thousand changers!
As a high-level warlock, Zeller has no reason to be unaware of his lower-level warlocks.

So Matthew suspects that Thomas has been taken over by someone. Because the Thousand Changeer has the previous profession and ability, so the warlock profession that does not belong to Thomas has also been inherited.

Zeller replied with some surprise:

"Has it been two or three months?"

"I don't meet the person in charge of the Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce very often, and Rega only sees them about once a month."

Matthew told him what he had found.

Zeller suddenly became serious:

"If he's really a changer, it's a great opportunity."

"We can't startle the enemy. Next, I plan to send the most elite scouts to monitor Thomas and try to dig out more information."

Matthew hesitated:
"Are you sure your scouts won't be discovered by him?"

Zeller smiled faintly:
"Can you find my scouts in Rolling Stone Town, Nuo Da?"

Matthew's heart skipped a beat.

Don't look at Zeller doing so many administrative tasks. In fact, his nominal position is the intelligence chief. The intelligence system of Rolling Stone Town is completely in his hands.

Matthew was also curious about who Zeller used to complete the formation of the intelligence network.

Yet the magic is.

With Matthew's keen perception and comprehensive collection of natural information, he couldn't even detect where Zeller's scouts were!

This is enough to prove the concealment of Zeller's men.

Even Matthew couldn't find it, so it would be even harder for others to find it.

"it is good."

"If you need my cooperation, feel free to mention it. I'm very interested in the forces behind the Thousand Changes."

After thinking for a moment, Matthew chose to believe in Zeller.

Zeller smiled gratefully.

The two talked for a while.

Matthew asked about the status of the surrounding territories recently, and the most frequently mentioned word in Zeller's mouth was Gao Yeling.

"The situation in Gaoyeling is changing day by day. Just yesterday, the black dragon lord officially appeared. He promised to protect the people of Gaoyeling from the war. After that, he threatened these people—if they don't want to become If the subjects of one giant dragon, then they are likely to welcome the wrath of another giant dragon.

"Only a dragon can stand against a dragon."

This is what the black dragon said himself.

In front of Long Wei.

Naturally, no one dared to refute his authority.

It is worth mentioning that.

We originally thought that the black dragon in Gao Yeling was related to the two black dragons in the Underdark, either the little black dragon in Extremely Frozen City or the old black dragon in Black Dragon City, but we only found out after yesterday that this black dragon is not one of them, but a black dragon. A wild young black dragon that came out of nowhere.

His name is "Meonogas".

We had never heard of this name before. "

Speaking of it.

Zeller couldn't help but cough again. He immediately drank two sips of ginger water and his breath gradually calmed down.

"There have been several fights between the black dragon Mayonogas and the red dragon Kusules. The two sides have no winners and are temporarily in a state of confrontation. But I worry that this state will not last long. Once the two dragons reach a consensus , then they are very likely to enter Rolling Stone Town at the same time.”

Concern washed over his face.

Matthew is feeling the pressure, too.

Given the current situation in Rolling Stone Town, it doesn't mean that it can't deal with the giant dragon at all.

But when fighting with such a behemoth, many people's lives will definitely be sacrificed.

A dragon is enough to cause headaches.

Not to mention that there are three heads around Rolling Stone Town!

"The year the dragon was active..."

"Why do you feel like you're targeting Rolling Stone?"

Matthew only felt evil.

He wondered if Rhaegar's taunt ability was passively effective.

"So I think there are times when you have to act first."

Matthew said:

"If we really want to start a full-scale war, we must often move the war to the border or even the enemy's territory, so as to ensure the safety of Rolling Stone Town to the greatest extent."

Zeller nodded and shook his head.

The main idea is to agree with Matthew's statement, but feel that it is too difficult to implement.

"Where's Li Weiqi? Hasn't he been wandering around Gao Yeling? Has he found anything?"

Matthew asked.

Zeller smiled:
"Most of our information about Gao Yeling was provided by Li Weiqi.

He wrote yesterday to say that he is depressed now—

The traces of Beaulieu turned out to be a lie created by a merchant in order to peddle fakes.

He found nothing at Alpine Reservoir and is currently on his way back to Rolling Stones.

But I guess he won't stay in Rolling Stone Town for too long. Li Weiqi has a restless temperament, and he has stayed in the interior for too long, and he hasn't eaten sea turtles for a while, so he probably got hungry long ago.

I'm guessing he's headed to the east coast eventually, probably before winter sets in, and he's headed down Jewel Bay to the Northland.

The North may be his only hope of advancing to legend.

He also told me.

During these days in Gao Yeling, a poet who likes to show his chest hair has been harassing him, saying that he wants to interview his deeds and write a novel.

Li Weiqi didn't like this very much, but he couldn't get rid of the poet no matter what.

And that poet claims to be your best friend, Li Weiqi plans to come back and ask you what's going on.

You can prepare your answers ahead of time. "

Matthew smiled dumbly.He knew that Li Weiqi and Luo Lan were both in Gaoye Ling, but he didn't expect that the two of them would be entangled with each other every day.

But with Lorraine's style of acting.

Matthew seriously suspected that this guy wanted to arrange some script for Li Weiqi.

It's just that Li Weiqi was not fooled.

"If that friend of yours is here, our confidence in slaying the dragon will be much greater."

"Li Weiqi himself admitted that Luo Lan is much better than him."

Zeller crossed his arms and looked at Matthew expectantly.

Matthew said uncertainly:
"Loran's character is very out-of-the-box and his thinking is difficult to figure out. I will try my best to invite him to help, but I am not sure whether he will really help."

Zeller nodded.

Immediately he stood up from his chair:
"I'll show you another thing."

The two left the office hall, and through the side door of the lord's mansion, they came to the barracks next door.

Zeller took Matthew to a remote warehouse.

After lighting the candle.

Matthew saw something covered by a thick tarpaulin in the center of the warehouse.

He lifted a corner of the tarpaulin.

A thick and sharp metal pole appeared in his eyes.

below the metal rod.

It is a tool exuding a strong killing intent!

"Ballista?"

Matthew exclaimed softly.

"This is not an ordinary ballista, this is a dragon crossbow specially used to deal with super-large creatures!
It was born before the Age of Enlightenment.

In history, dragons, titans, giants, Beamon...

Many giant creatures have died at its hands. "

Zeller calmly introduced:

"If there are twenty dragon crossbows, even if two giant dragons attack at the same time, I'm sure that they will be enraged."

"Too bad we only have one."

Matthew gently stroked the cold and rough mechanical surface of the dragon crossbow and couldn't help but ask:
"Is there no way to imitate it?"

Zeller shook his head and said:
"The industrial base of Rolling Stone Town is too weak to imitate the dragon crossbow on a large scale, and the production of such things must be done quietly, otherwise it will attract the perception of giant creatures, and then the dragon crossbow may be destroyed before the dragon crossbow is completed. disaster."

"The dragon crossbow was invented by the dwarves at the bottom of the Helen Mountains, but soon the tribe where the dwarf inventor belonged was wiped out by the dragon fire."

"I'm showing you this because I want you to inquire through the channels of the Seven Saints Alliance whether there are still dragon crossbows available in the market."

"In addition to this, the preparations for other war materials also need to be carried out intensively. I also plan to rebuild the city wall of Rolling Stone Town——

Alas, in the face of war, even if Rhaegar's coffers were drained, everything seemed stretched. "

Speaking of this, Zeller sighed sadly.

Matthew asked silently:

"So do you blame Rhaegar - I mean his decision not to cooperate with the Blood Banner Kingdom?"

Zeller blinked:

"No, of course not."

"Our situation will not change much because of Rhaegar's decision. If he really decides to introduce the power of the devil to fight against the dragon, then there is no doubt that what we are studying now should be specifically targeting the devil. props."

"Since devils can kill dragons, they must be something more terrifying. This is obvious."

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll leave the Dragon Crossbow to you."

"Thomas, I will notify you if anything happens."

Zeller said.

Matthew quickly left the barracks, and Zeller returned to the office hall as always.

quickly.

There was another occasional coughing sound in the corridor.

……

the next few days.

Matthew has been living in the cemetery, turning a blind eye to the surveillance eyes outside the oak forest.

Under Matthew's focused efforts.

A lot of stuff on the backlog gets closed or updated.

The first is the "Dark Life Contract".

Matthew used the negative energy fountain in the cemetery to increase the number of layers of this spell to the 19th level.

This means that the health of all undead under his command has increased by 19%.

This is an extremely impressive number.

An increase of [-]% HP not only means an increase in frankness, but also indirectly increases the fault tolerance rate and the ability to cause damage.

After all, the longer you live, the more you can cut two more knives.

This principle is applicable even to the lowest level of skeletons.

And the reason why he didn't make the 20th layer of dark life contract was because every 20th layer of this spell would bring revenge from the negative energy plane.

Matthew has been very busy recently, so he doesn't plan to make any troubles.

To break through the level, wait until you are free to do it!
The second is the "Skull of Augustus", the exclusive weapon of the Necromancer.

After Matthew mastered the field of "necromancy".

He has the qualifications to be in tune with Zhuanwu.

After Matthew's unremitting efforts in the past few days, he quickly completed the introduction of coherence.

After getting started, he only needs to take out this weapon for three to five minutes every day.

Up to three months.

Matthew will be able to become the true owner of the head of Augustus, and then enjoy the powerful attributes and effects of this special weapon.

This makes him look forward to autumn.

And the third thing is that Matthew has successfully mastered "Bonebreaker Howl" on the to-be-learned list.

This spell was recommended to him by Margaret.

The prerequisites for Howling of Bones and Augustus' Skull are both Tier [-], but with the support of "Domain: Necromancy", Matthew can master them in advance.

Matthew always learned the spells related to the undead very quickly.

special.

In the process of learning this spell.

His "surrell singing method" has made great progress.

The standard channel time for Howl of Bones is 9 seconds.

Matthew has now squeezed it down to 6 seconds.

Once the "Skull of Augustus" synergy is completed, with a 100% increase in singing speed, this number is expected to be compressed into 3 seconds.

And besides being fast.

Matthew's "Bonebreaker Howl" is also far more lethal than ordinary people.

According to his speculation.

As long as he finishes chanting, the skeleton undead below the fourth level will lie down in almost seconds.

Those above the fifth level can struggle a bit, but it can only be a dying struggle.

This spell is an out-and-out bone dragon nemesis.

With it.

Matthew's tactical package has added a new link.

"When you encounter a bone dragon in the future, try to instigate rebellion first."

"If you fail to instigate rebellion, you can also open the contract field and try the overlord contract."

"The last step is to recover the bones from Howl of Bones."

Matthew stroked his chin.

The flow is perfect.

Just waiting for more bone dragons to be delivered to your door!

And the fourth thing is also related to attunement.

After a long struggle.

Matthew finally succeeded in synchronizing the demigod's undead realm!

Today's demigods gain new effects.

……

"Demigod (Domain: Moonlight/Undead)
1. Moonlight (omitted)

2. Undead——

Current level of mastery: Beginner.

Effect 1: Undead Guard (You can designate 10 undead to be your "Guard", and the Undead Guard will get three times the life value, higher attack power, a ray of shared divinity and higher basic resistance sex)
Effect 2: Undead Army II (The upper limit of your summons is increased to 20 times the current standard, and cannot be superimposed with "Undead Army")
The current limit of your single summoned object is: 360. (order*6*20)

Effect 3: Undead Familiars (You can activate the charismatic power of the personality to recruit a loyal Familiars for yourself, Familiars do not account for the number of summons.)
Effect 4: The depths of the realm (the next time you explore the realm of the undead, this character will turn into a weapon that can take effect in the realm, and has the opportunity to allow you to explore deeper into the realm)"

……

The attunement to the demigod is actually to infuse the power of the domain into it.

I have been pouring for a long time.

Naturally, it can feed back to itself for a more powerful effect.

The most powerful thing about this thing is that it can accommodate different fields.

It's just that the more fields there are, the slower the synchronization speed will be.

"I don't know if I can use the balance field to solve the problem of slow synchronization in the later stage?"

Matthew thought to himself.

After the undead are attuned.

The oak field was put on the agenda.

Considering that Matthew still has more than a dozen fields waiting to be fed.

This godhead cannot escape the fate of being heavily infused by Matthew every day in the short term.

The days passed in such trivial and fulfilling little things.

quickly.

The time has come to July NO.17.

this day.

It was the day of the "Potato Dog Fighting Contest".

It was also the day when Matthew took the stage to accept the commendation of outstanding citizens.
