The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 28 The Domain: Temperance

……

"Description: When this staff is fully charged, it can instantly cause up to three targets to cough violently.

……

Remarks: In the coughing state, the target's "focus" will be reduced by at least 10 points;
If the coughing unit is located in the crowd, it may quickly cause small-scale infection;

Cough duration depends on the target's "Level" and "Immunity";
You cannot put legendary units, undead creatures, construct creatures, etc. into coughing state;
This staff can ignore legendary protection spells below;
The cough state has a certain probability of being dispelled by the senior priest..."

……

Little artifact!
At the first sight of the description.

Matthew knew that this high-level appraisal scroll was already worth the money.

"This thing is simply the nemesis of spellcasters!"

He fondled the smooth sides of the staff.

"Concentration" is the most important spellcasting attribute. If you lack focus, you are very likely to fail to cast a spell, and the consequences of a spellcasting failure are often extremely tragic.

Let's imagine.

A high-level mage had carefully protected himself, and was impassionedly chanting a certain high-level spell that could turn the tide of the battle. Suddenly, his throat itched, his eyes turned white, and his thigh kicked——

The spell stuck turned into a cough!
Then next.

In the case of being concentrating on madness and being shaved, he still has to bear the terrible spell backlash!

It's not just mages and warlocks that are affected.

It also interrupts Druid's "Higher Form Transformation", Shaman's "War Song" and Bard's almost all tricks!

Go further.

A rogue who requires high-precision movement to maintain a menacing presence in combat is also frustrated.

Except for resistant monsters such as high-level fighters, monks, and sword masters, who can cough and cut people at the same time.

Everyone else will be affected to varying degrees.

As for the pastor.

"In this era when the gods are gone, it is not so easy to meet a priest."

"It's no wonder the Antu Empire is so crazy, spiritual energy does have merit!"

Matthew held the psionic staff tightly in his hand.

After being excited for a while, he frowned slightly again.

Because on the next line of the description, there is this sentence:
……

"Staff charging method: unknown (insufficient knowledge of psychic power)"

……

Even the high-level appraisal scroll failed to find out its full picture, which shows the rarity of spiritual knowledge.

But Matthew is not in a hurry.

This scroll has determined the direction of information retrieval for him, and then he just needs to find a way to search for knowledge such as "how to charge spiritual items".

"It seems that I have to find time to go to the "Crucible House". By the way, I will find out about the current situation of the great mage Ronan. "

Think so.

Matthew put away the spiritual staff properly.

Then, according to the usual practice, we began to review what happened tonight.

……

"In the case of a sudden encounter with a large number of enemies, it is no problem to abandon ordinary skeleton soldiers;

But I can do better in terms of distance control. The clothes are all splashed with blood. It's not decent to ask Peggy to do the laundry and be nagged by her. "

……

"The magic protection effect on the Guardian Psalm is really good. The second-level infected body can't make any progress at all, and it is estimated that it can resist the third-level Kuangse guard several times;
There are still some blank pages at the back of this book, which seem to be able to fill in some protection system and other spells.But such spells are often one-off. I don't know how much a protection-specialized mage will charge when transcribing a one-time spell? "

……

"The existence of the Antu Empire proves that I have indeed come to a real world with a world view similar to that of the game.

Psionic items are very powerful, but I can't develop too much greed. I should do my old job well first, and then delve into other things after I have enough energy.

Well, set a small goal first, and expand the oak forest to about 1800 trees before summer comes! "

……

The nib of the quill, dipped in mineral graphite water, was drawn quickly across the cheap papyrus.

Writing replay manuscripts is a small habit that Matthew has developed since traveling. At first, he just recorded the difficulties of planting trees and some knowledge points that need attention on these papyrus. Later, he also used this to vent his longing for his hometown. And record some thoughtful content.

Anyway, he used Chinese characters, and the handwriting was so scribbled that only he could barely recognize it.

He sees this as a unique way to decompress.

During this time.

Matthew's brain tends to jump back and forth between extreme emptying and high-speed operation.

Brush brush!
There was a pleasant writing sound.

Matthew picked up his pen and quickly wrote the last paragraph.

……

"As for the words I said before I left, Samantha should have been touched. Very well, she will be the first subject for me to explore my own unique way of legend. Maybe that Eli also has potential.

But I still have to be careful not to hurt them.

Although these two druids are old-fashioned, they are both kind and upright. "

……

"Immortal" and "Nature".

This is a question that Matthew has been thinking about since time travel.

He knows that these two seemingly different paths are the source of his future strength.

Based on the concept of this continent, the two are almost completely opposite - people don't even want to think why they are opposite, as if this is a natural law.

Matthew asked Archmage Ronan this question.

After the latter thought for a long time, he gave Matthew an answer.

Ronan told him that all the concepts that are common on the mainland today are inseparable from the interpretation of everything in the world by the gods of the "Age of Enlightenment".

In the era when the gods rose up and interfered with the human world with their own might, the gods formed a set of interpretations of the world and concepts under the tacit agreement and compromise of many parties in order to consolidate their absolute authority in their own fields.

This is the worldview inherited by many races on the continent.

This notion has persisted for far too long.

So much so that no one was willing to break it for hundreds of years after the gods left.

……

"For mages, spells are low-level tools, domains are middle-level tools, and concepts are high-level tools; but for the gods of Tianlun Palace, concepts are their lives.

For example, in the Age of Enlightenment, if one day all living beings believe that the one that rises at night is no longer the "moon", then the next day, all the gods related to the "moon" are at risk of falling.

Of course, the situation after "Tian Lun Gong Sheng Que" is very different. The gods are powerless to interfere in the present world. Concepts are still a source of power for them but are no longer fatal. More importantly, they are too weak now.

That's why we can now sit here and discuss concepts without having to think about the mood of the gods.

In fact, they are a bunch of poor bastards who are about to be swept into the garbage dump, but they are stubborn and doomed to never shine in this world.

Next comes the age of the spellcasters.

I really appreciate your views on "nature" and "immortality". If one day you embark on the legendary road, you may really have the opportunity to walk out on an unprecedented supreme road. "

……

These are Ronan's original words.

After hearing this, Matthew was deeply touched.

He is excited that the originally confused road ahead has gradually become clear, and he is also fortunate to have met a mentor like Ronan when he was just starting out.

In Matthew's opinion.

The trend of "immortality" and "nature" going hand in hand in oneself is inevitable.

If the inherent concept is used, then the two will inevitably conflict in themselves.

He even suspected that the initial garbled characters of the system were a manifestation of the conflict.

And to solve this problem, he must come up with a new concept!

But in this new conceptual system, he had to accommodate both immortality and nature.

This is theoretically possible.

After all, the "Negative Energy Plane", which symbolizes the origin of the undead, is innate.

It should belong to nature in a broad sense.

And with the passage of time, nature itself will also have a day of extinction.

The universe shatters and returns to death, which in turn is a sub-realm of the undead.

The two can completely contain and transform each other.

of course.

It's too early to talk about the concept with Matthew's current strength.

He must at least have certain authority over immortality and nature before he can announce the new concept to the world.

But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Convincing the most conservative druids to accept—even if they don't reject their own concept—was a test for Matthew while he was still in his great career of planting trees.

……

After writing the replay.

Matthew didn't put away the stack of papyrus.

He just takes a break.

Then he continued to write eloquently.

What follows is about future plans.

Matthew likes to plan regularly and list the things to do in the future one by one.

The first is to plant trees.

Before the arrival of summer, this is Matthew's main business, and no project can affect his continued success in planting trees.

to this end.

He decided to cut back on the time he spends nights sweeping away the Wilder's nest.

After all, the more you go down, the more dangerous it is. He has to ensure that there are no fish that slip through the net on the upper floors before he considers going to the next floor.

He believed that both Ayla and the Goddess would understand.

The second is the learning of spells and the professional advancement that has been delayed for half a month.

These two are actually not that urgent, leaving aside the spells that can be learned at any time.

Matthew's level is now stuck at LV8.

If you want to continue to improve, you must complete a ceremony called "Night of the Necromancer" to obtain the promotion qualification of "Advanced Necromancer";

Either seek a variety of powerful or partial advanced professions: True Necromancer, Pale Lord, Revenant Lord, Sigh of Mourning, Ancient Tomb Guard... and White Rock City's characteristic advanced "Dead in Chains".

In short, if he does not advance, his level cannot continue to increase, and his experience can only be saved temporarily.

Advancement often takes a lot of effort and time.

After some thought.

Matthew decided to plan the advanced affairs in the first week after the arrival of summer.

This means that he still has enough time to think about which advanced path he should take.

The last thing is to add some necessary props and items——

reels to buy;

The weapons requested by A Bing must be made by special personnel;
If there is still money left, Matthew would like to change to a bigger "Miracle Bag";
Also, he had taken a fancy to a ring in the "Crucible House" a long time ago that increased the upper limit of energy.

But he thought about it.

Sighed.

In the end, the latter two were crossed out from the to-do list.

……

It was late at night by the time all the paperwork was done.

Matthew coded the papyrus into categories and placed different weights on it.

He just stretched.

A white light lit up.

Snapped!
A coconut fell into Matthew's arms.

"Wait, where did you get this thing?"

Matthew was amazed.

It's a pity that the oak elf came and went too quickly.

He only saw the other party disappear in a flash of white light, leaving Matthew to enjoy this "gift of nature" alone.

"How should I drive this thing..."

Matthew touched the thick coconut shell with both hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But soon.

His attention shifted from the coconut to the ability of "Nature's Gift".

ponder for a moment.

Matthew put the coconut on his lap, took out another piece of paper and wrote:
"How should I use this miraculous and somewhat evil ability?"

He stopped writing and thought for a moment.

If he is an insatiable person, he will seek to maximize his profit.

He would collect corpses through various legal and illegal channels, and then buried them in his oak forest.

Then he just sits back and enjoys it.

But is that really right?

Matthew shook his head decisively.

Gifts without a bottom line look very tempting, but if you do that yourself, what is the difference from those who do all kinds of evil for the sake of power?
Besides, this ability is just that no hidden dangers have been discovered for the time being.

Matthew didn't think he could always enjoy the gift for nothing.

His intuition told him that abusing this ability might cause quite a problem.

So out of prudence.

Matthew decided to actively control the number of "gifts".

He will not refuse a corpse delivered to his door, but he will not take the initiative to search for objects that can be buried.

……

"In addition, in terms of concepts, I should also control my thoughts. I can't think of burying someone as soon as I see someone has powerful abilities... This kind of insatiable thinking is very dangerous, and may gradually strip me of my humanity."

"The gift of nature, it can only be a gift, and I should not take the initiative to ask for it."

Write down these two sentences.

Matthew let out a long breath.

At that moment, it seemed that something hazy in his heart was broken.

The heart is bright and refreshing.

next second.

He suddenly noticed that everything around him was in a strange distortion.

In a trance.

Matthew saw countless faces immersed in quicksilver. Those faces were either happy or sad, some were greedy and some were indifferent, as if there were pairs of eyes with different emotions watching him.

His skin itched from these gazes.

Just when Matthew couldn't hold it anymore.

All images suddenly disappeared.

A powerful energy injected into his body!
……

"Resolutely rejected an incredible temptation deep in your heart, you have successfully stepped into the sub-field of desire "temperance"!
In return for getting involved in the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities-

……

1. Mind like still water (your will is enough to exempt most of the charms below the legend)
2. Reserve power (after your mana or physical power is completely exhausted, a small amount of vitality will be produced, available times: 10)

3. A heart without regrets (you can choose whether to seal the emotion 'regret', after sealing, you will never be disturbed by this emotion)」

……

After unexpected joy.

Matthew began to think.

These three options actually have their own merits.

"No regrets" can help people get rid of a relatively negative emotion permanently, and it can also be unblocked at any time, flexible and easy to use.

There is a limit to the number of times of "Leave spare power", but the advantage is that it can create a chance to survive from desperation.

but.

Who can refuse "the heart is like still water"?

Out of politeness, Matthew glanced at the other two options, and then chose 1 without hesitation!

……

"You have completed the enlightenment in the temperance field, and the current field situation is: first entry.

……

You gain a permanent status 'Clear Mind'

Clear mind: Every day, as long as you have restrained a certain desire, you can have a clear mind for at least 1 hour. In this state, your learning efficiency is three times that of usual! "

……

"This is easy to use. If you want to talk about desire, then I restrain myself every day!"

Matthew couldn't help murmuring.

next second.

A faint voice came from outside the basement door:

"I knew it! Matthew, I knew that you were actually restraining the urge to violate me every day. You necromancers are all a virtue, aren't you?"

Matthew looked back.

Paige was swinging her long legs back and forth against the door frame.

While shaking her, he was still winking at Matthew.

this scene.

Matthew could only say in his heart, "It's really ecstasy".

"What's up?"

he asks.

"There are three big things I'm about to tell you."

Paige got serious.

……
