The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 34 is a bit unacceptable! (5K)

……

As far as Matthew knows.

Zeller's position in the Lord's Mansion is the head of intelligence and the person in charge of adventurer-related affairs.

This man was deeply trusted by Rhaegar.

This can be seen from the fact that Rhaegar handed over the picketing of the traitor to Zeller during the kidnapping of Sif.

And Zeller is also worthy of Rhaegar's trust.

He rarely appeared in non-working places, but he was inseparable from Rhaegar. As long as the owner of the Blood Banner appeared, he could often find Zeller within ten steps.

It's been a long time.

So much so that there was even an extremely outrageous rumor in some small circles in Rolling Stone Town-some people said that Zeller was the new love that Rega found after being betrayed by his wife and changed his orientation in a fit of anger.

But Matthew felt that this was pure nonsense.

He didn't find even the slightest sign of a couple between the two.

not to mention.

From what Sif said, Matthew already knew that Zeller followed Rega before the latter got married and had children. The two should have accumulated a pure and profound friendship during years of fighting side by side.

The person who fabricated that rumor was probably jealous of Zeller's transcendent status in the Lord's Mansion and his face that could bring disaster to the country and the people.

……

"Thanks for reminding."

Hearing this, Matthew clasped his hands together and muttered:
"So it's the lord's intention that Your Excellency's visit tonight is?"

Zeller smiled softly:
"No, that's what I meant. Rhaegar was not happy to let a necromancer intervene in Rolling Stone Town's intelligence work, but I convinced him."

Matthew lightly squeezed his finger bones:

"what do you want to do?"

He heard what Zeller meant.

Zeller stretched his right hand into the sleeve of his left hand, and between the index finger and middle finger, there was an extra high-quality kraft paper envelope.

He put the envelope in front of Matthew, and said unhurriedly:

"This is the whole content of the information. I will tell you while you read it."

Matthew didn't hesitate.

The envelope was not sealed, and when the red string on it was untied, several sheets of thin paper slipped out.

Matthew glanced roughly, and frowned slightly.

"It's tricky, isn't it?"

Zeller took a sip of cold ginger water:

"It's fine if there is only one Scourge. I never thought that Rolling Stone Town would be targeted by three notorious evil organizations at the same time. The timing is too coincidental. I'm afraid that none of them organized Not even Brad would believe it."

Matthew looked at the three organizations mentioned in the intelligence that may attack Rolling Stone Town in the near future—

Cult of Scourge;

Brotherhood of Silver Frost;
Cult of Blight;

"What is even more ironic is that these three organizations have sent us threatening letters or letters of challenge in their respective names!

I even wrote down the approximate time and place of the hands-on, what should I say?

Is it time to admit that the current thinking of the leaders of criminal organizations is really unconventional?

Or should I lament that Lei Jia has kept a low profile for so many years, so that the outside world has forgotten the tyranny and terror under the gentle appearance of the Blood Banner family? "

Zeller's speech rate is very flat and steady.

But when it comes to the last sentence.

Matthew felt a gushing anger.

"He does seem to regard himself as a member of the Blood Banner family?"

Such thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

His eyes quickly scanned all the words.

Soon.

Matthew knew all about it.

"As you can see, the Southern Patriarch of the Scourge asked us to hand over the murderers who killed their members and pay 50% of the annual tax as an annual tribute, otherwise they will burn the town of Rolling Stone to the ground;

The big boss of the "Silver Frost Brotherhood" asked us to hand over the two arsonists who are currently in Rolling Stone Town Prison, and to pay 60% of the annual tax as an annual tribute, and to provide the Silver Frost Brotherhood with a stronghold for training reserve players , in the end, they even asked us to send 50 women every year to solve marriage problems for their members;
As for the "Withering Cult", ah, they are the best at talking. As long as we pay 30% of the tax, the request is only to let them destroy the forests you planted around the town. "

Zeller still had a gentle smile on his face:
"These bandits probably know better blackmail than the devil in Purgatory."

Matthew's expression was a little serious:
"Can Rolling Stone Town deal with the invasion of three evil organizations at the same time?"

Zeller quickly said:

"Resisting invasion is fine, but controlling harassment is not."

Matthew understood in seconds.

The most troublesome thing when a territory encounters an evil organization is that the other party will not play the game of two armies against you.

If the other party is determined to play harassment tactics with you regardless of loss.

A hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.

The law and order situation in the territory will take a turn for the worse in a short period of time!

Not to mention Rolling Stone Town, even a medium-sized city like Rapid City dare not say that they will come and go.

Among the nearby cities, only Baiyan City and Jade Cangting have such strength.

"Two of the three organizations are targeting me, and the remaining one has nothing to do with me."

Matthew pouted.

"It looks like this on the surface, but in fact, without you, they will all launch vicious attacks on Rolling Stone Town."

Zeller tapped the left and right knuckles with the tip of his right finger, and said briskly:
"It's better to say that you have resolved an attack from them for us,"

"And with you here, Rolling Stone Town's ability to resist evil has increased, so you don't have to think about it—as long as you are a resident of Rolling Stone Town, you will be protected by the Blood Banner Family, and the Blood Banner Family will always be there." Will not compromise with evil."

Matthew nodded.

He believed Zeller's words.

"If it is said that the three major organizations' hands-on time was mentioned in their letter, then their number of members, position structure, and estimated military strength—where did these detailed data come from?"

Matthew asked, pointing to the rows of numbers on the information.

"That's the work of divination and spies."

Zeller explained:
"Where there is any change, there must be traces. In fact, before I received the letter, I had ordered spies to collect information in surrounding cities. At that time, I found some clues-such a large number of people's movements cannot be done quietly. They need food, shelter, and equipment."

Matthew looked at him curiously: "How did you think of sending people to investigate in other cities?"

Zeller patiently recounted:

"That's why I have to mention the rape case that I was entrusted by Rhaegar to investigate."

Matthew came to some spirits:
"Have you found the traitor?"

Zeller definitely said a name:
……

"Vic Bamo, known as Little Bamo, is the son of Old Bamo, one of the nine knights who fought with Rhaegar in purgatory.

Bamo Jr. is the same age as Sif, and he looks like a very simple and honest little fat man. He has followed Sif since he was a child, and he regards himself as a follower, so he has a good relationship with her.

After he grew up, little Bamo was taken by his father to train in the manor in the west, and he had less contact with Sif.

In the spring of this year, he suddenly wrote a letter to Sif, inviting her to play in the countryside.

On the way, Sif had an accident.

This guy or the mastermind behind him is very cunning and set up many wrong options for me to track down.

Half a month had passed when I actually locked him in. When I sent someone to Old Bahmer's manor, I was only sorry to find that there was no one alive in the whole manor.

The original farmers, maids, gardeners, cooks in the manor, and even the whole family including Old Bahmer—all of them have become creatures of trickery.

My men had to clean up the manor, and I found some manuscripts of the wizard in Little Bummer's bedroom, and I'm pretty sure he's the culprit.

To be honest, I hugged little Bamer when he was born.

His honest appearance was too deceiving.

No one expected that he would be able to come into contact with sorcery, and the first thing he did after becoming a sorcerer was to refine his father into a deceitful creature!

I heard that old Bahmer was very strict when training his son.

Perhaps little Bamer's hatred comes from this.

But he's a beast anyway.

Too bad he ran away.

It was when my people were looking for the whereabouts of Little Bamo that they accidentally learned that an evil organization was recruiting soldiers in Strom. This news became more comprehensive after I confirmed it through divination. Of course, the value of this information soon It was greatly reduced, because they directly issued the gauntlet. "

……

Zeller calmly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

the end.

He added earnestly:
"Old Bamo is a very good person, loyal and brave, but he is too old, Rhaegar and I are negligent. If we pay more attention to his recent situation, he may not be harmed by his rebellious son."

Matthew also had anger on his face:

"So, not only is that little Bamer still alive, but he may even return to Rolling Stone Town when the next three major organizations take action?"

Zeller nodded lightly:

"Theoretically, there is this possibility, maybe he was the one who lured the Scourge here from the beginning, or maybe he was just the most suitable breakthrough point that the Scourge found in Rolling Stone Town.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is what do we do next?

Before sharing my solution.

I need to ask for your opinion. "

Matthew thought for a few minutes and replied:

"Since these three organizations sent letters of war separately, it shows that they are not monolithic internally, and the best response strategy is to divide and break down one by one.

The "Withered Cult" has the most concentrated targets, just make a fuss around the oak forest to lure them into the bait;

Didn't the Brotherhood of Silver Frost still have two arsonists in prison?Just find a suitable time to let them escape successfully. There is a high probability that they will go to the organization after they escape, and we can follow the clues;
I have no idea about the "Society Order". They dared to come to me after Finn's death, proving that they have the ability to fight against bone dragons. Warlocks are evil and hard to defend against. But one thing worth noting is that they are very concerned about the blood flag The blood of the family, so Sif and Rhaegar are the focus of protection, and they can also be used as bait to lure the snake out of the hole, but there are risks in doing so. "

Zeller showed a look of approval after listening:
"Your responses and ideas are top-notch, and most of your ideas coincide with my plan in the "Phase Two". "

Matthew was a little surprised:

"Phase two?"

"Yes, what you said, we will do it, but not now."

Zeller explained:
"At this stage, people from the three major organizations are estimated to be infiltrating in batches. At this moment, they must be extremely vigilant and not easy to take the bait.

Evil forces are gathering towards Rolling Stone Town.

At the same time.

Our rescuers are on the way—

……

Only three of the nine knights that Rhaegar fought in Purgatory stayed in Rolling Stone Town, one of them died, one retired, and only one was left to fight, and the rest went outside to make contributions.

We have written to them for help, and as long as these people receive the letter, they will definitely come back.

He also sent people to the east to look for an old acquaintance of his, who was a monk whose strength was close to legend. With him, the safety of Rolling Stone Town would be more secure.

In addition, I also used my contacts to call a few old friends to come to help out. Even Mr. Richard couldn't help sending a letter to Beidi when he heard about it.

Look, our network is not weak, all it takes is time. "

Matthew responded quickly:

"So your "Phase [-]" plan is mainly to buy time? "

Zeller said bluntly:
"I want you to pretend to be Archmage Ronan!"

Matthew was taken aback.

Immediately nodded and said:

"It's not impossible."

At this time.

Peggy, who had been eavesdropping for some time, finally poked her head out from under the windowsill:

"Won't Ronan be unhappy when he finds out?"

Zeller and Matthew answered almost simultaneously:

"will not!"

"Maybe he'll find it funny."

The two smiled at each other.

We talked in detail for over an hour.

When the night is thick.

Matthew left from Zeller.

The two walked on the gravel path in the garden.

Zeller, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around with a smile and said:
"Mr. Matthew, please forgive me for playing a little trick in order to gain your trust at the beginning of the conversation-the story about the awakening of the warlock is not my own, but I heard it from another warlock friend. here.

I deliberately made myself miserable, so as to arouse your sympathy and pave the way for persuading you in the future, but now it seems that this is unnecessary, you are the kind of person I like. "

Matthew was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good if you don't, at least you haven't actually experienced such a tragic thing, which is a good thing."

There was a strange light in Zeller's eyes:

"You are such a strange necromancer, and your kindness is heartwarming.

Sorry again that I lied to you earlier.

But speaking of misery, my awakening was actually far more miserable than my friend's. "

As he spoke, he came outside the fence and closed the gate gracefully:
"It's just my story, which I will never tell until I die."

"Good night, Matthew."

……

After sending Zeller away.

Matthew sorted out the information gained tonight in the living room.

Then he hurried back to the oak forest to watch the scene without stopping.

He had to talk to Eli about the "Blight Cult".

The Blight is the druid's nemesis.

Eli must know a lot more about this organization than he does.

But before that.

Matthew still went to the cabin and summoned A Bing.

After a week of hard work.

He has already accumulated the capital for another "ten consecutive draw".

Now a crisis is looming.

It is the time when immediate combat power is needed.

So Matthew threw all the number of enhancements on A Bing.

……

"Reminder: You have consumed 10 reinforcement times, your summoned item "A Bing" has been upgraded to LV12, and the overall attributes have been improved!

……

Your summoned item "A Bing" has obtained 7 keywords, 2 of which are "white", 1 is "blue", 2 is "purple", and the remaining two are "gray"! "

……

"Not very lucky."

Matthew sighed softly.

The two grays are really confusing.

He glanced over.

As usual, look at the blue sky and white clouds first.

……

"Backstab (White): When your skeleton attacks from behind the enemy, its damage and weapon stiffness are greatly improved.

……

Sprint (White): The movement speed of your skeletons in battle is greatly increased.

……

Storm combo (blue): When your skeleton uses a short knife as a weapon and successfully hits the enemy's vitals, it will be able to make a second and third combo in a very short time. This process will cause a lot of damage "

……

The quality of the blue sky and white clouds is surprisingly good.

Not particularly strong.

But the win is solid and useful.

"At least it's not farming skills and cub feeding after all."

Matthew next looked at the purple entry.

……

"Colorful Dance (Purple): When your skeleton uses this dance, it can leave an afterimage wherever it goes. During the dance, no matter what position and state it is in, it can return instantly The location of the afterimage.

Currently, the maximum number of afterimages that can be left is: 4

……

Fake Death (Purple): Your skeleton has learned superb tricks to cheat death, enough to deceive the world in most situations;
And when your skeleton cancels the fake death status, his next three normal attacks will cause a lot of extra damage.”

……

"The painting style is finally back to normal!"

Matthew was very relieved.

One of these purples provides super high mobility, and the other provides insidious killing moves.

Although I don't understand how the skeleton cheated death.

But A Bing naturally has a way if he wants to come.

See here.

Matthew feels that as long as the next two gray keywords are not too bad.

All are acceptable.

……

"Same hands and feet (gray): In the non-combat state, your summoned soldier, Bing, has developed a bad habit of using hands and feet without knowing it."

……

"That's okay too."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second.

His face changed slightly.

……

"Working consciousness (gray): Your skeleton has the consciousness that it is creating value for you. This consciousness is not strong, and even a little humble.

Every 3 months, you need to pay 1 soul crystal as appeasement, which will give it a great incentive. "

……

"This... is a bit unacceptable!"

Matthew subconsciously put his hands on his head.

A Bing next to him stared blankly at him.

After a while.

He also hugged his head with the palm of his bone in a similar manner.

The scene was hilarious and eerie.

Eli flashed out from behind the house, staring at Matthew seriously:

"What is your posture? What evil creature do you want to summon in front of me?"
