The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 2 Undead Summoning: Bone Dragon
……

The next day.

Matthew got up early in the morning.

Today is Saturday.

He didn't need to go to Sever School during the day.

Just in time to complete the final task indicators.

He carried a few bags of saplings from the greenhouse and hurried out.

Peggy is really meticulous in her work.

In addition to everything needed for planting, she also put a lunch box and water bag on the shelf next to the sapling bag-this means that she not only guessed that Matthew was going to have a big job today, but also guessed that he had a high probability Will forget to take food from the kitchen.

This carefulness is a miracle for a low-level undead creature.

Sometimes Matthew felt that it would be okay to let Peggy plant trees instead of him.

But he also just thought about it.

Although Rolling Stone Town is not a remote place where magic is extinct, and necromancers are far from the point where everyone screams and beats in the world of Aindor, a walking skeleton will always attract many strange looks.

Not to mention that Peggy is a rare skeleton transformed from a dead tauren.

The Arabian Nights of 'skeleton planting trees' is bound to attract all kinds of criticism in a small place like Rolling Stone Town.

It's troublesome just thinking about it.

……

Oak Grove North.

Matthew patrolled the land ahead with steady steps.

He is choosing a site for the saplings.

Planting trees has never been easy—

selection;

germination;

Foundation soil configuration;

fixed planting in greenhouse;

site selection for tree pits;

Transplantation and maintenance;
……

This series of steps has been mastered by Matthew over the past three years.

But at the practical level, there are always all kinds of troubles to be solved.

For example, now, Matthew obviously has prepared saplings and tools, but he has been unable to start work due to difficulties in selecting a site.

"Rolling Stone Town is really not a good place to plant trees."

Watching the billowing black smoke from the west.

Matthew was so emotional.

The Gold Digger's Basin is famous for its various mine pits. The land here has been dug back and forth several times by humans and kobolds, both above and below ground. Most of the places are not suitable for the survival of plants.

Just man-made pollution.

Even more terrifying is the big scar in the north!
Matthew stands high on a mound looking north.

"It's close again."

He looked at the black scar that was spreading from the north with a complicated expression.

……

"Scar of the Dead"

……

It was a scar left on the earth by a natural disaster many years ago.

It starts from Jewel Bay in the east, passes through Jade Cangyuan and Eversong Forest, and ends at the Duchy of the Human Kingdom and the Gold Digger's Basin.

Near the Scar of the Dead.

Extinction of life.

Even undead creatures have difficulty surviving.

That is the purest and most violent force of extinction.

Mortals are invincible.

……

"There are many similarities between this world and the game world, but there are also many differences; there is no trace of the dead in the game world, and I have never heard of Rolling Stone Town and Jade Cangting—maybe it is a universe, but it is not in the same plane? "

……

Look back.

Matthew walked down the hill.

Behind him is the growing oak forest, in front of him is a barren and barren land, and behind the oak forest is the red-roofed and yellow-brick Rolling Stone Town.

The three areas are distinct.

Sometimes Matthew felt that the tasks issued by the system might be related to the Scar of the Dead.

Because the more he looked at the oak forest, the more it looked like a shield against Scar of the Dead.

pity.

"Just relying on an oak forest can't stop the spread of the scar of the dead."

he thought casually.

……

Matthew made a long circle down the hill.

Finally found a few suitable pits.

Although this place is beyond the scope of his plan, there is still a distance from the scar of the dead, and the planted oak saplings will not fail to survive.

Restricted by his physique and strength, Matthew's work can't be regarded as vigorous and decisive, but he is better than experienced.

He maintains a certain rhythm and speed.

until the sun rises high.

The young saplings in the sacks have settled down at the foot of the hillside.

Matthew wiped his sweat, took out a bottle of green liquid from his arms, and sprinkled it on the oak saplings one by one.

This is the "growth green liquid" he entrusted someone to buy at a high price from the druids of the watcher's highlands. It has catalytic and strengthening effects on plants, and long-term watering can support natural growth for 20 years in a year.

Unfortunately, this is the last bottle Matthew has on hand.

these three years.

Matthew invested almost all his savings in the vigorous tree planting business.

Now it's finally time to harvest.

His hands trembled slightly.

puff.

Drops of green liquid fell.

The little sapling that was still wilting just now branched out instantly!
that moment.

Matthew's eyes also glowed.

……

"Successfully planted 5 oak trees, your natural affinity has been slightly improved

Cumulative number of oak trees planted and survived: 1001
……

You have completed the primary objective of 'Main Quest: Planting Trees'.

You got the reward 'Summon of Necromancer (Bone Dragon)' & 'Lots of XP'! "

……

"Your level has been raised to level 8!
(Cannot continue to upgrade, the remaining XP has been credited, please advance as soon as possible)
……

The spell level of your Undead Summoning has been raised to level 8, and a contract slot has been added!

Your intelligence +1
Your perception +1
……

You have gained a new ability 'Instant Summon'!
You have gained a new ability 'Fall Down'!
Your ability 'rot capsule mastery' has been upgraded to 'rot capsule proficiency'!
You can learn more advanced spells!

... "

……

A dense amount of information drifted past Matthew's eyes.

A great sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

The improvement of attributes and abilities did not exceed Matthew's expectations.

But in terms of experience, there is still a surplus after going up to 3 consecutive levels, which can be said to be very rich!
This is much more experience than he gained through necromeditation every day!

but.

The most important thing for Matthew is to summon the bone dragon!
……

"Summoning of Undead (Bone Dragon): You can summon a Bone Dragon to serve you at any time.

Remarks: The level of this skull dragon does not exceed level 15.

Contract Status: Contracted"

……

"It's actually in a contracted state, and it saves me a contract slot!"

Matthew is very satisfied.

Necromancer Summoning is the necromancer's housekeeping skill, and it will improve as the level increases.

And every time you upgrade two career levels, there will be one more 'contract slot'.

This is used to bind specific summons.

Necromancers require less mana to summon a contracted target.

The tacit understanding between the two parties is also higher.

It's been a long time.

Some necromancers even develop feelings for their pacts.

……

Kobold Mine.

In a hidden underground cave.

Matthew held the deadwood staff and tried to summon the bone dragon for the first time.

The spell sounded.

With the support of the new ability "Instant Summon".

When the first syllable came out of Matthew's mouth, an inverse hexagram array pointing to the negative energy plane flickered in the dark cave, and gray bone powder and dark green phosphorous fire floated from the void like snowflakes.

Matthew looked intently.

A giant skeleton beast that was mostly submerged in the darkness was entrenched vigilantly there.

"Boiling~"

The faint blue soul fire lit up from the skull of the bone dragon.

It stared at Matthew indifferently.

Matthew became a little nervous when he saw him.

The sound of "boiling" like a cave leak was constantly heard in the air.

One person and one dragon are in such a stalemate.

Matthew's muscles were tense.

This was the first time he faced a monster whose level was close to twice his own!

The contract concluded made him immune to that faint dragon prestige.

But the huge pressure on the body and the fear brought by the terrifying image cannot be erased.

……

"It's no wonder that people in the world always have prejudices against necromancers. The things in the necromancer domain are more scary than the last one. How many people can face this fear directly?"

Matthew adjusted his mentality.

He waved the deadwood staff and ordered to the bone dragon:

"Bow down."

The bone dragon's movements were slow but firm.

Its slender neck slowly skirted the rocks and ceiling of the cave.

Then it landed firmly on the ground in front of Matthew.

Its mandibles are pressed against the ground.

The faint blue soul fire was pulsating.

Somehow.

Matthew actually felt a bit of nervousness from the spirit fire of the huge monster in front of him.

Matthew was immediately happy.

If the bone dragon is nervous, he will not be nervous.

He boldly stepped on the bone dragon's head.

The latter made a 'woo-woo' sound, appearing very docile.

Matthew was relieved.

He bent down and stroked the bones of the bone dragon.

Dry.

Still rough.

It doesn't look like a precious bone at first glance.

"When we have money, we will definitely replace you with good bones."

Matthew couldn't help but say something.

"Boiling..."

The bone dragon groaned.

……

"Philorius (Bone Dragon)'s loyalty to you has increased to 85!"

……

Happy Matthew.

"So easy to satisfy? Then I will draw a few more cakes in the future."

The bone dragon slowly raised its head.

Its magnitude is small.

Matthew was able to look down on the cave from a higher angle——

This place was originally a paradise for gold diggers. Later, the mine was exhausted and left idle, and was occupied by a kobold tribe.

After the Blood Banner family took control of Rolling Stone Town, the local lord issued several kobold expulsion orders one after another. Only after the surrounding adventurers and mercenaries hunted down this area gradually became deserted.

As far as Matthew knows.

There are many similar caves in the Gold Digger Basin.

These caves are intricate.

There are rumors that some caves are even connected to a wider underground world.

That's where the kobolds really evacuated.

……

Matthew rarely set foot in these areas.

But the size of the bone dragon is too big, and even this underground cave can hardly accommodate it. One can imagine how much trouble it would cause if it appeared on the surface.

He is a low-key and pragmatic person.

He never intended to hide his identity as a necromancer from the outside world.

But I don't want to cause trouble for no reason.

"It's better to play in the cave from now on."

Think so.

Matthew carefully inspected the bone dragon's body.

By the way, I also checked its data.

……

"Name: Philoreus
Race: Bone Dragon (LV15)

属性：力量24/敏捷10/体质17/智力4/意志10/魅力14
Qualities: Blindsense (60 ft.)/immunity to acid/immunity to cold/sensitivity/undead
Abilities: Flattery/First Attack/Necromancer Dragon Might/Dash/Tail Sweep..."

……

"Fawning?"

Matthew was bewildered.

"Did he just please me?"

As if to confirm Matthew's idea.

The bone dragon's "boiling" sound came from under the feet, and it seemed to be a bit flattering to match the emotions conveyed by the leaping soul fire.

In Matthew's mind, the macho image that had just been established because of the tall and mighty bone dragon suddenly disappeared.

He couldn't help stomping his feet:

"Your name is too difficult to pronounce."

"I'll call you 'Xiao Bo' from now on!"

……

Philoreus was dazed for a while.

Immediately, its soul fire shook violently.

Waves of joy surged along the contract.

……

"Grateful for the grace of giving the name, Philoreus (Bone Dragon)'s loyalty to you has increased to 90!"

……

Maybe too happy.

Xiao Bo's head shook too much.

Matthew was almost thrown off by it!

Fortunately, his perception and agility are both good.

A dashing little jump.

Matthew landed firmly in the shadow of the cave.

But at that moment.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

Turn around and look in the direction of the strange feeling on the soles of the feet.

He stepped on a blood-stained piece of clothing.
