The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 5 Arsonist

……

Matthew rushed into the room.

He started changing clothes as fast as he could.

……

"You have equipped 'Mist Robe (+1)'!
Mist Robe (Armor +0): Casting Speed ​​+10%; Slightly Increases Mental Power Recovery Speed
……

You have the 'Witherbark Staff' equipped!
Witherbark Staff (Attack +1): Undead Summoning Level +1
……

You are equipped with a 'magic bag'!
Miaofa Luggage: Contains 8 folding spaces, and the same folding space can store up to 12 items of the same kind.

……

Currently stored items: corruption spores/phantom butterflies/scrolls"

……

After changing into a completely different outfit than usual.

Matthew's whole temperament changed.

If it is said that he is more like a young teacher who is easy to speak.

Well now.

He is a big step closer to the necromancer in the popular stereotype.

"Dinner is ready!"

Peggy came over with a pot of fried noodles with mushrooms.

"Come back and eat!"

Drop this sentence.

Matthew hurried off into the night.

……

ten minutes later.

Matthew's figure appeared at the edge of the oak forest.

He is accompanied only by a mage's fire for illumination.

His face was not very good-looking.

The presence of a suspected arsonist dramatically threatens his most important resource.

He was like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Instantly became furious.

Follow normal logic.

He should go to the police station for help now.

But then Matthew considered that Brad must be so busy with Sif's affairs that he might not be able to free up his hands to take care of his own affairs.

Secondly, he also wanted to personally punish this daring arsonist!
"The forest that Lao Tzu worked so hard to cultivate."

"It's not like any cat or dog can come to touch porcelain!"

The edge of the oak forest.

Matthew stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.

A large area of ​​fire can indeed be seen from here, and the fire has not spread to the oak forest for the time being-thanks to the fact that there is no flammable material in this area.

He settled down and found that the place where the flames ignited seemed to be a farm.

Only a hillside separated it from the oak forest.

Matthew has also met the owner of the farm a few times, and his daughter is very cute.

The fire in the farm was so fierce, but there was no one shouting nearby. It is not difficult to guess the fate of the farmer's family.

……

"Not an ordinary robber..."

Matthew calmed down.

The oak elf told him that there were a large number of arsonists, and they exuded an evil and powerful aura, which indicated that there was a high probability that adventurers did it.

When the enemy's strength is unknown, he cannot act recklessly.

So he waited and watched for a while.

Then he ran quickly to the other end of the oak forest.

soon.

Matthew arrived at the place in memory.

It was a huge haystack.

Below the haystack.

There is a place like a cellar.

The cellar doesn't have much space.

The layout is a bit like the university dormitory in Matthew's previous life.

"puff!"

Matthew opened the iron cover.

A little perception.

Then began to use "Dead Soul Summoning".

Under the guidance of mana.

Suddenly.

A white hand slapped the muddy floor at the exit of the cellar!
Followed by.

One after another, skeletons crawled out of it!
Soon.

On the edge of the haystack, there were 12 more skeleton soldiers with light green soul flames in their heads.

Most of these skeleton soldiers have thick bones, high integrity, and hold weapons and small round shields, which belong to the elite skeleton soldiers.

They are all summons carefully collected by Matthew.

It took him a lot of effort to make them have the mental outlook they have now.

To know.

The summoning of the undead did not come out of nothing.

No matter how powerful a necromancer is, it is impossible to conjure a team of skeleton soldiers out of thin air.

Summoning undead requires materials.

……

Take the skeleton soldiers as an example.

Summoning them requires a certain number of bones.

If the number is insufficient, even if the summoning is successful, the skeleton soldiers you get will still lack arms and legs.

Don't talk about fighting, you may fall apart if you take two steps.

The reason why skeleton soldiers have become synonymous with cannon fodder is because the materials it needs are relatively easy to obtain.

Others like Black Samurai, Blood Demon, Bone Dragon, Soul Eater, etc. are a thousand times more difficult to summon!
of course.

There is also a way to get summons bypassing the casting components.

That is to build a magic circle pointing to the negative energy plane.

Pull people directly from there.

The wealth that can be consumed in this way is even more staggering.

Even high-level mages will weigh carefully before constructing this kind of magic circle.

So in general.

It is not without reason that necromancers with low moral sense prefer to wander in cemeteries and mass graves——

They are really poor and crazy!

And someone like Matthew—who bought almost every bone in the cellar with his own money or found it by accident—was definitely a saint among necromancers.

……

"go!"

Matthew ordered.

The slightly sluggish skeleton soldiers followed his footsteps slowly.

Bursts of cold began to spread.

In the oak forest.

Even the noisy night wind became silent.

It seems that even they are afraid of the coming of the undead.

……

"boom!"

A violent flame exploded in the farmland.

Strong winds fueled the fire.

Seeing the farm gradually disappear in the flames.

Hessen, who was wearing a black vest and showed half of his muscles, smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He suppressed the idea of ​​continuing to set the fire.

He moved his gaze to the dark forest not far away.

"Fin's information seems to be true. At this time, they are completely defenseless against Rolling Stone Town!"

"Hehe, then let me give them a little more fire shock!"

He strode towards the direction of the hillside.

behind him.

Six followers also followed.

"Everything is arranged?"

Hesse asked lightly.

"Boss, don't worry, no one is alive, they are all burned to death!"

One of the scarred faces showed a ferocious smile.

Hesse nodded with satisfaction.

As an 11th-level "Arsonist", he can feel that his strength has increased a little bit!

not much.

But clearly visible.

In fact.

According to the original plan, he should withdraw after the farm was burned, but the sense of increased power made him extremely intoxicated.

Especially when he noticed the oak forest in front of him, he immediately changed his mind.

He can feel the vitality contained in this forest, and burning this forest will bring him a great power boost!

That's about ten times the return on the farm.

Almost on par with burning a block in a city.

But the risk is much lower than arson in the city!

No arsonist can resist such a temptation.

In particular, Hessen clearly felt that as long as he burned the forest, the legendary road that was originally very vague to him would become clear.

He couldn't hold back his crazy thoughts anymore!
set fire!

set fire!

He wants to burn!
burn!
burn!
……

"stop!"

Go half way up the hill.

Hessen shouted suddenly.

The six attendants immediately surrounded him vigilantly.

"Boss, what's the matter? Do you want to withdraw?"

Scarface asked.

Hessen ignored him, but stared straight ahead with his eyes wide open.

The night wind sent a faint green fluorescence.

There was a faint smell of corruption in the air.

"It's bone fire..."

Hessen was thoughtful as he looked at the line of figures slowly appearing on the hillside.

Skeleton soldiers?
Is it a necromancer?
Hessen's frown immediately relaxed:
"Fin sent you here? Go back and tell him, I will go find him after burning this forest!"

"As for whether to join the cult, it depends on his sincerity."

The skeleton soldier remained motionless.

The person hiding in the dark and manipulating these undead creatures didn't make a sound either.

Hesse laughed dumbfounded:

"You don't want to stop me, do you? Just rely on these skeletons?"

The followers also laughed.

Scarface volunteered:

"Boss, I can kick all these skeletons away by myself!"

Hesse shook his head.

His eyes searched around the hillside.

His eyes were extremely sharp.

But never act rashly.

After a few minutes.

His tense state was instantly relieved.

The two huge muscles in the chest also trembled:

"Stop playing tricks on me, I've found your location—didn't Finn tell you what I do? Hehe, I'm very sensitive to temperature!"

He jokingly said in the direction of the skeleton soldier:

"You necromancers like to hide in piles of miscellaneous fish? How creative!"

However, the other party still did not answer.

Hesse finally became angry:
"If you don't leave, I'll burn you with me!"

talking.

Suddenly there was a glass bottle with fire in his hand!

"I didn't play tricks."

at last.

A voice came from behind a skeleton soldier:

"I'm just waiting for the rot sac to take effect - you just inhaled it."

Matthew stood on the hillside.

A large amount of negative energy gushes out from the tip of the deadwood staff!

……

"Pack of Corruption: Accelerated Infection!"

……

"not good!"

Hesse looked back.

The expressions of the followers were slightly panicked.

They started to realize something was wrong.

"Why is my face itchy!"

"On the arm too!"

"It's so itchy! Something seems to be growing out!"

In their horrified eyes.

Some people developed patches of red bumps on the surface of their skin.

At first the bumps are inconspicuous and feel nothing.

Soon they become extremely itchy.

People simply cannot keep their hands from scratching.

And a scratch.

A large amount of yellow-green pus gushed out of it.

Splash to other places on the skin.

The infection started to become more rapid!
Accompanied by the continuous spread of the infected area.

among the crowd.

The breath from the negative plane is getting stronger and stronger!

"Don't scratch, kill that necromancer and you'll be fine!"

Hesse made a decisive decision and roared angrily.

A group of people charged forward enduring the itching.

Matthew continued to wave his staff.

This time.

He doesn't even need to chant!
……

"Summoning of the Undead: The Object of the Contract!
……

Your ability 'Instant Summon' is in effect!

……

Your ability 'Fixed Fall' is in effect! "

……

on the hill.

A large green circle of light appeared in the area where the group of people were about to charge.

"Quickly open!"

Before Hesse finished speaking.

A tall figure descended from the sky!

boom!
A follower can't dodge.

It was smashed into meat sauce!

People nearby were also affected by the shock wave.

Roll down the mountain one after another.

Hesse looked over angrily.

But I saw the two-meter-tall figure looking around blankly.

Her bones are spotless.

But the most eye-catching thing is the dinner plate in her hand——

"Matthew? Do you want to have dinner? Just in time, I just reheated the fried noodles with mushrooms..."

Paige looked at Matthew happily.

"No, throw away the chow mein, Peggy, I want you to fight for me."

Matthew said.

Peggy's mood suddenly became serious.

She turned to face the arsonist.

Then he said to Matthew:

"Then, please strengthen me!"
