The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 196 "Tree Planter", the dragon strikes!

……

July seventeenth.

morning.

Rolling Stone Town Civic Square is crowded with people.

Different from the grand occasion of other celebrations, the roar of people in the square was mixed with a lot of barking dogs.

The barking of dogs one after another seems to be the powerful drumbeat in the summer sonata, imperceptibly urging the official start of the dog fighting competition.

But before that.

The residents of Rolling Stone Town were also informed that today is the day when the first Rolling Stone Town Outstanding Citizen Medal is issued.

The names of the winners have already been circulated in a small range among the people.

Therefore, in addition to fiercely arguing about which dog can stand out and become the final winner, the people who came to participate in the competition or watch the excitement also had a considerable number of people who were very curious about this "excellent citizen".

"Thompson, have you heard? The first outstanding citizen is the mage who planted the man-eating tree!"

"Isn't the legend of the man-eating tree a rumor?"

"Who knows? Anyway, except for the Great Master Ronan, I don't believe anyone. How could there be a real master master in a small place like Rolling Stone Town..."

Two young men in hats were each leading a fierce hound and were whispering.

And right now.

Suddenly, a handsome gentleman stepped up from the platform built in the center of the square.

The gentleman was wearing a thin white shirt, jet black trousers, and spotless leather shoes. His hair was well groomed, and his waist was straight.

As if no matter what the scene.

He will not lose his elegance, calmness and rules.

"It's Mr. Richard!"

"Richard!"

"Boss Richard!"

A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd.

Most of the responders are young and middle-aged men who are engaged in craft work in Rolling Stone Town, but a large part of the cheers come from people engaged in other industries.

As the most junior member of the committee of five.

Richard has extremely high popularity and prestige among the residents of Rolling Stone Town.

The gentleman is known for his meticulous handling and fair and impartial decision-making, but he rarely appears in public, and today is the first time.

Richard enters.

The scene suddenly became much quieter.

He faced the crowd, and after bowing a few times, he began to follow the procedure step by step.

"Everyone, before the start of the dog fighting contest, the committee of five decided to award this year's Outstanding Citizen Medal.

As we all know, since the establishment of the Excellent Citizen Award, it has been shelved year after year due to relatively high controversy.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to award a single medal in the past few years.

It is also very lucky that Rolling Stone Town can welcome the first outstanding citizen worthy of a medal this year.

I believe that you can't wait to know who the winner is—I don't want to be too secretive. After the resolution of the five-member committee and the approval of the lord himself, the first person to be elected as an outstanding citizen of Rolling Stone Town is——

The "Tree Planting Master" that is popular among everyone.

Mr. Matthew! "

The crowd cheered and whistled.

Although most people at the scene still had doubts about "Who is Matthew?"

in the cheers of the crowd.

Matthew took the stage with a smile to receive the award.

His clothes today have been dressed up, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes. He put on a fashionable and neat new clothes, got a fashionable and trendy hairstyle, and added Matthew's already extremely attractive charm.

This made him win the favor of most people as soon as he appeared on the stage!

Girls may also try to make their eyes look more reserved.

But the middle-aged women did not restrain the ambiguity in their eyes at all.

Matthew stood behind Richard.

Richard shook Matthew's hand, and then began to talk about Matthew's "contribution":
"In the past three years, Matthew has single-handedly made an indelible contribution to the greening of Rolling Stone Town..."

"Although he is a necromancer, his love for the way of nature far surpasses any of us..."

Richard's eloquence is actually quite good.

But the content of this part is indeed a bit long-winded.

At first, everyone was surprised when they were suddenly informed that "the trees around them were actually planted by the handsome man on stage" and "there is actually a necromancer in Rolling Stone Town".

But later.

The mood underneath became a little dull.

Fortunately, Richard did not introduce too long.

After speaking.

The five-member committee represented by Richard held a brief award ceremony for Matthew.

And when the heavy medal was really caught by Matthew.

The audience in the audience was already a little distracted.

Then came the moment of Matthew's award speech.

Holding the medal in his hand, he walked quickly to the center of the stage, suddenly his expression became serious, and a gloomy aura emerged from his body:
"For those of you who didn't applaud just now, I will turn you all into immortal slaves!"

Suddenly.

Everyone in the audience was excited.

Before the panic spread, Matthew immediately added a second sentence:

"is just a joke."

Everyone still stared at Matthew in surprise.

While everyone's attention was mobilized, Matthew rushed down the stage and blew a whistle, and a big black dog with pitch-black fur rushed up.

Matthew grabbed the noose around his neck, then smiled and said the third sentence to everyone in the audience:

"I'm just a tree planter, but they told me there's a bounty here, so I'm here, and instead of applauding my past honor, I hope everyone will support me in the next dogfight My "Hank". "

As he spoke, he shook the noose with a smile, and Hank immediately barked at the audience.

What responded to Hank was the barking of hundreds of dogs in unison.

that's it.

Matthew waved his hand, took the medal and Hank got off the stage.

a time.

The audience applauded like a wave.

The originally lifeless square seemed to come alive suddenly.

Everyone is cheering!

"Matthew!"

"Matthew!"

Someone is calling Matthew's name.

This is not because they were overwhelmed by Matthew's charm, but because Matthew's resignation means the official opening of the dog fighting competition.

quickly.

The flow of people in the square began to flow quickly.

With the help of volunteers.

The contestants in the dog fighting competition led their pet dogs to different branch venues.

More intense dog barks sounded from every corner of the square.

Followed by people cheering, cursing and quarreling.

corner of the square.

Below the platform.

Richard looked at Matthew and his dog with some surprise:

"I thought you would prepare a long speech. Didn't Rhaegar want to take this opportunity to dispel people's doubts about you?"

Matthew smiled lightly:
"The scorching heat is unbearable, and it is not a wise choice for everyone to listen to me bragging about my achievements under the sun."

"Besides, I think the effect is not bad now, what do you think?"

Richard looked at several young people who greeted Matthew curiously.

Can't help but nodded slightly.

Although Matthew's acceptance speech was only three short paragraphs, it had a good effect.

The opening joke can go some way to dispelling people's prejudice against the Necromancer.

And then revealing that you are also a dog fighting contestant can shorten the distance between you and ordinary people faster.

People will realize that "it turns out that necromancers can joke and love dogfights as much as we do".

Matthew felt that this was enough.

His purpose is just to eliminate the fear that the residents of Rolling Stone Town have about him.

Instead of getting more people's love.

He just wants to get along with the residents in a relatively normal manner, and there is no need to mingle or be superior.

Just leave a good impression in everyone's mind.

All the previous rumors about the oak forest will be self-defeating.

Since the Outstanding Citizen Medal itself is endorsed by the official Rolling Stone Town, and Richard and Rhaegar, who represent the official Rolling Stone Town, both have strong credibility, Matthew himself does not really need to do much.

Just push the boat along the way.

And the only thing that surprised Matthew in this awards ceremony was.

The outstanding citizen medal is actually pure gold!

Plus a bonus of 300 gold coins.

This amount of money was definitely an extremely heavy income for Matthew a few months ago.

It's just after getting the bone dragon.

Matthew has not only improved by leaps and bounds in strength, but the speed of wealth acquisition has also been raised to another level.

He thought about it carefully.

The bonus of 300 gold coins is a wealth that can only be saved for several months for myself who is still planting trees;

And ever since he got in touch with the goddess of moonlight and figured out the business route to the Gold Coast, the profit of tens of thousands of gold coins is earned by running a business back and forth;

It can be realized in the "Problem-Gold Coin" monetization system represented by the Seven Saints Alliance.

One of his S-level projects is expected to harvest at least 200 million gold coins.

Compare the three together.

They clearly represent the different levels of income brought about by the power and power of the world's ordinary producers, top speculators, and the absolute ruling class.

"It comes down to it."

"In the world of Aindor, magic is the greatest productivity."

Matthew thought with some emotion.

in the afternoon.

Matthew took Hank to a branch venue on the east side of the square.

Here he will officially compete in the potato dog fight.

The content of the competition is actually very simple.

It is to put two dogs in a huge cage, and a small iron cage is placed in the center of the cage, and there will be a piece of cooked meat in the small iron cage.

Two dogs compete with each other, and whoever can occupy the small iron cage in the center of the cage will win the final victory.

And after the game, the winning dog can eat the piece of cooked meat on the spot.

The content of the game sounds boring.

But for Rolling Stone Town, which is seriously lacking in entertainment, this is already second only to the excitement of many competitions during the Spring Festival Gala.

Not to mention, there's plenty of fun to watch during the actual game.

Many outrageous incidents have occurred in dog fighting competitions in the past years.

For example, at a branch meeting in a certain year.

Two fighting dogs that had been fighting violently in their cages suddenly stopped fighting.

Changed to mating.

And the intensity is not inferior to before.

afterwards.

Dog owners on both sides are trying to prove they have won.

Even the referee didn't know what to do.

Both sides have factions of supporters.

Proponents of male dogs believe that male dogs successfully overwhelm female dogs;

Advocates of bitches argue that bitches successfully seduce male dogs.

The incident quickly became a topic of national discussion.

The two sides insist on their own words, each other has a reason, and no one agrees with the other.So much so that the dog fighting contest that year quickly turned into a national debate contest.

In the end, the five-member committee could only settle the matter by adjudicating the two dogs.

It is worth mentioning that.

The two dogs got together afterwards, and the owners of both dogs became friends because of this.

There are many similar things.

In short, the dog fighting contest can always provide a lot of fun for the residents of Rolling Stone Town.

Matthew didn't have much enthusiasm for this.

He just came here to make up the numbers.

Even the hound Hank who accompanied him in the competition was borrowed from Mrs. Wesley's house.

Although Hank looked fierce.

But he is actually a natural coward.

For example now.

During the warm-up period for the first round.

Hank looked at Matthew and said seriously:

"Can I admit defeat as soon as I enter?"

"The other side doesn't look easy to mess with."

Matthew glanced at it. The dog on the opposite side was only two-thirds of Hank's size, but it was indeed fierce in appearance.

"Can I have some water?"

Matthew took advantage of the fact that the dog owner on the opposite side was not paying attention, and used animals to talk, trying to bribe him on the spot.

Unexpectedly, the hunting dog was stunned for a moment and actually agreed:
"I want ten pieces of meat."

Matthew readily agreed:

"make a deal!"

So this round of fighting ended very quickly.

Hank just rushed over and grinned.

The enemy huddled in the corner of the cage.

No matter how loudly his master shouted and cheered, he still looked at Hank timidly.

30 seconds passed.

The referee immediately awarded Hank the win.

Under the puzzled gaze of the dog owner.

The dog barked at Matthew a few times:

"Remember to keep your promises."

Matthew blinked and conveyed in a way that only animals can understand:

"I'll find you at night."

In the end, the dog owner took his dog and left disappointed.

Hank swaggered into the next round.

This battle brought a revelation to Matthew.

Dogs are always the most spiritual animals.

But now, almost all the dogs in Rolling Stone Town have gathered in front of him, and he can seize this opportunity and chat with the dogs like crazy all day long.

In this way, the progress of the task of talking with animals can be quickly improved!

He roughly estimates that there are at least 100 fighting dogs participating in the competition, and the dog fighting competition will be held for a total of three days.

I can hook up all the dogs by myself.

At that time, this task will be advanced to one-third in one breath!

Do it when you think of it.

Matthew's style has always been vigorous and resolute.

Over the course of the ensuing second round, he freed himself by making Hank a quick surrender.

after that.

He took Hank to wander between different branch venues.

See the dog on it.

Because Hank was covering and Matthew was very attentive, almost no one noticed that he was not just watching the fun, but was frantically harassing the contestants.

"Good morning, Mr. White Dog."

"No, it's not good at all. My master only makes me eat leftovers every day. Damn, I really want to let him eat my leftovers every day!"

"You look in good spirits, Mr. Dalmatian."

"My master must be crazy. I'm so cute and he asked me to participate in a dog fight. Can you slap him for me?"

"You're beautiful, golden retriever lady."

"Thank you, can you tell my master not to continue to help me take a bath? Sometimes his eyes make me shudder, and sometimes he will even force it..."

"Nearly made it to the next round, Mr. Hound."

"No, losers have no excuses. I need to exercise stronger to qualify for the next round. Can you make me better? My master will just spoil me blindly. He doesn't even know that I have a The heart of the strong!"

"Uh, excuse me, may I ask what breed of dog you are?"

"Shh, don't tell anyone, I'm not a dog at all, I'm a wolf, but my master dressed me up as a dog to participate in the competition, this is called misplaced competition, I came here to crush this group of trash haha Ha ha……"

After a while.

"Mr. Wolf, how did you get eliminated?"

"I don't know, there must be a problem somewhere, the other side is too fierce, I suspect he is also a wolf!"

Matthew silently looked at the husky-like dog in front of him, lost in thought.

down all day.

Matthew's animal conversation progress has increased to 60/300 in one breath!

This is much faster than before.

It also makes the lich rewarded by the mission seem close at hand.

Matthew, who originally planned to attend for only one day, suddenly changed his plan.

The next three days.

He'll be the courtesan of a dogfight.

It is necessary to communicate deeply with each dog!

That night.

Little Parton found Matthew.

"what?"

"You want to install lights?"

Matthew looked at him in astonishment.

Little Patton nodded excitedly:

"Don't you think the working environment is too depressing?"

"You've seen what's going on in Bigfoot. The ubiquitous electric lights make the city's nights as bright as the day."

"For you mages, doesn't this mean you can get an extra portion of the night out of thin air?"

Matthew shook his head slightly.

In the absence of electric lights, he also relies on mage's fire, candles, and glowstone for light.

It's just that these lighting methods are not as stable and powerful as electric lights.

Back then, when Matthew was poor, he couldn't even afford candles.

With candles in the back, he often felt dry and itchy eyes.

This is because of insufficient light.

Although he has gotten used to it over the years, when Paton Jr. made such a suggestion, his heart was undoubtedly very moved.

"Are you sure you can popularize electric lights in Rolling Stone Town?"

What Matthew cares about is the difficulty of implementing this matter.

"I can run a trial in your cemetery."

"That's why I came to you."

Little Parton beamed and said:
"Remember the things I stole from Sturuk's branch. After that, I stole a lot of things, including a lot of components for making electric lights and energy items."

"In fact, the principle of electric light is very simple. As long as the four links of power generation, storage, transportation and terminal can be solved, more people can enjoy the light."

"I have a small generator in my hand. I need a devil's heart for energy. I can ask Rhaegar for it. He definitely has a devil's heart in his hand, so the power generation is no problem;

Both storage and transportation can be carried out with an astral white crystal from Tulluk Industries.

I also have ready-made raw materials here, just need to temporarily assemble it.

As for the terminal, I also have several light bulbs. In fact, the difficulty of promoting this thing is that our industrial level is not enough to produce the tungsten wires, copper wires, etc. needed in the whole process.

But that’s something to consider later.

I now just want to give what I got back an assembly attempt.

Your cemetery is the best place I can think of to install lights. "

Matthew thought about it.

It doesn't seem to hurt to give Patton Jr. a bit of a kick.

In case he did get the light out for himself.

Maybe there will be more power products in the future.

For example, the elevator that Matthew has been thinking about.

It will be more convenient to enter and exit the dungeon in the future.

Think about it this way.

He agreed to Little Patton's request.

But Matthew also strictly defined the scope of his tossing.

The first electric lights.

It is limited to Matthew's workshop and the workshops of the arsonists.

As for where the generator is installed.

Matthew agreed with Patton's strong suggestion and placed it in an open space near the ghost activity area.

After that, he let Little Patton go alone.

Two days after that.

Matthew focused all his energy on talking to animals.

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

By the afternoon of the third day, when the final dog king was about to be decided, the progress of the animal conversation had reached 112/300.
This was far beyond Matthew's expectations.

At this moment, he stood on the square and looked around.

There is no dog in Rolling Stone Town that he hasn't hooked up with!
His heart was filled with satisfaction.

But at this time.

All the dogs in the square suddenly barked in unison.

Followed by.

All the dogs closed their mouths at the same time.

They rarely ignored the dog owner's noose and abuse, and fled in different directions!

"Help, help!"

Matthew heard the voices of the fighting dogs in unison.

In an instant.

There was also a strong sense of fear in his heart.

However, this feeling of fear suddenly faded away.

after a few seconds.

In the case of people's ignorance.

A shadow suddenly enveloped the sky over Rolling Stone Town.

Followed by.

It is the overwhelming air waves——

That is.

Longwei!

"Hey~~~!"

A strange dragon roar came down from high in the sky.

Sweeping every corner of Rolling Stone Town.

……

"Warning: Dragon is coming!"
