The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 7 The Eye of the Jungle and the Wind of the Oak

……

"Wild Transformation: You have mastered the introductory skills of a shapeshifter, and you can transform into an animal blessed by the wilderness without using a spell-casting action or singing posture.

You can choose one of the following animals as your wild form—

skunk;

Raven;

Dugron

……

Isn't transformation into the wilderness a unique skill for druids?

Matthew was quite pleasantly surprised.

This is probably another moth made by those two game systems that compete with each other.

finally.

Matthew chose "Raven" as his wild form.

This is for the sake of making up for shortcomings.

The three animals are all small beasts, and they don't occupy a high ecological niche in the food chain, so their fighting abilities are all average.

……

Skunks are more agile.

In some more complicated mountains or woods, turning into a skunk may help escape, but other than that, it has no obvious advantages.

Matthew would never turn into a skunk and squeeze musk for himself.

……

Dugelong is a small dragon beast with a body similar to a hound.

It's just that the dragon blood in this small animal is weaker than that of the kobolds.

Longwei and spells are naturally out of the question.

Du Gelong has a certain storage capacity, and there is a natural dimensional space in its belly.

The size of the space is linked to Dugeron's level.

The newborn Duglong cubs have one grid of dimension space, and there will be one more grid for each level up.

Each dimensional space is about the size of a medium-sized pumpkin and can store a lot of things.

If it is to choose an animal partner, Matthew will choose Duglong without hesitation.

But this is Wilderness Transformation.

Turning it into a mobile storage space would make Matthew feel insecure.

……

Compared with the above two animals.

The advantages of Raven are self-evident——

That is to fly!
And the speed is still very fast!
Matthew is worth the money just for running or escaping, not to mention that Raven also has extremely good scouting ability.

The only downside to this animal is its thin blood.

Ravens only have 1 health point

After being discovered by an enemy with anti-air capabilities, it is easy to be knocked out of the wild form all at once.

"There is no perfect option..."

Matthew is quite pleased with the new ability.

in his impression.

Many powerful mages turn into ravens.

This is a good sign.

He checked the taskbar.

The reward of "Wild Transformation" comes from "Follow-up Mission 2: Maintenance is also very important!".

In addition to new abilities.

He also earned 200 XP.

The tasks themselves have not changed.

That means it's a long-term, repeatable task like planting a tree.

"As long as there is a threat and the protection is successful, you can get rewards? Can you artificially attract threats... so that you can earn rewards repeatedly."

This is what Matthew thought about.

After all, he has no way to determine the judgment mode of the system.

If you mess up, you're bloody.

And at the character level.

In fact, Matthew doesn't like to fight, kill, or engage in any coquettish operations.

He prefers to grow trees slowly and passively defend.

It is enough to reap stable happiness.

……

"twitter!"

The Oak Goblins appeared.

They sang high-pitched praises around Matthew, praising his feat of fighting to drive out the arsonists.

Goblins hate skeleton soldiers.

But they liked Matthew very much.

This may be the effect of the incomparably high natural affinity on Matthew.

……

"You have been blessed by Fairy Princess Lulu!

You got a semi-permanent status: Eyes of the Jungle!

You have gained a semi-permanent status: Wind of the Oak!

……

Eyes of the Jungle: When you are in the jungle, your vision is greatly improved and you can see things behind you.

Wind of the Oak Tree: When you approach an oak tree actively, it will actively release the power of nature to heal your wounds and soothe your soul, and your mana recovery speed will also be greatly accelerated.

When the oak is inhabited by an oak goblin, the effect of the oak wind is doubled.

... "

……

Fairy princess?

Matthew looked curiously into the pile of goblins.

As a result, I only saw a flickering shadow——

Lulu is very shy.

Before that, Matthew had only heard her name from other goblins, but had never seen her.

Even tonight.

Lulu took the initiative to show up and bless Matthew.

But Matthew couldn't see her face clearly either.

"Thank you."

Matthew expressed his thanks to the place where the white light disappeared.

"Eye of the Jungle" and "Wind of the Oak" are both very useful states.

And the prefix 'semi-permanent' means as long as the fairy princess Lulu is alive.

They will work.

According to Matthew's inference.

Lulu should have just been promoted to Fairy Princess.

She is still young.

There is also a chance to advance to a more powerful and longer-lived Fairy Queen.

As long as nothing happens to the oak forest.

There is no difference between these two states and permanent.

……

Matthew calmed down the goblins who had been frightened before.

Then go down the hill.

The edge of the farm.

The flames gradually died down.

The skeleton soldiers dragged the corpses of the arsonist and his entourage together.

Paige was cleaning her bone blade.

not far.

A blue circle of light is drifting blankly.

It was a ghost with a blank expression.

Until Matthew came over.

The ghost's eyes gradually became brighter.

"Matthew... you helped me."

Ghost realizes what happened.

Matthew raised the dead wood staff, and a stream of negative energy poured into the ghost's body, and the latter's almost nothingness regained a little luster.

"Sorry, Mr. Farmer, I couldn't come sooner."

Matthew sighed softly.

Farmer is the owner of the farm.

He and his family should have all died at the hands of those villains.

When Matthew was planning to hunt down the arsonist earlier.

He felt an extremely powerful resentment in the direction of the farm.

This resentment actually continued to grow against the fire.

It sensed the presence of Matthew.

So he begged him for a chance of vengeance.

Matthew naturally would not refuse.

If such a powerful resentment is ignored, it will inevitably give birth to a fierce ghost who kills without batting an eye.

He responded to the other party's plea with the summoning of the dead.

Eventually Farmar's spirit was transformed into a powerful wraith.

The strength of ghosts depends on their own resentment.

After the revenge is successful.

Farmar's spirit body is greatly weakened.

Without external interference.

He will soon be gone.

……

"...Yesterday was Anthony's (Farmer's son) birthday. Our family went shopping in the town for half a day and bought a lot of things that children like: desserts, candies, butter bread, and frosted strawberries..."

"When I went out in the morning, I felt that the omen was bad. The old dog Hunter kept barking, but I thought he was noisy, so I locked him in the warehouse...Damn me, I should have expected that Hunter would not come for no reason. barking, he is very spiritual..."

"...The group of people rushed in directly. They tied Lina and Anthony and killed the others. I only had a pitchfork in my hand, and the other men were defenseless. We relied on the warehouse to resist for a while...I even Damned for not buying them time to escape into the cellar!"

……

Farmer babbled.

Matthew listened in silence.

This is a very responsible middle-aged man.

Almost all he mentioned in his conversations were his family, brothers and farm laborers.

His face is full of nostalgia for life.

But even with the negative energy injected by Matthew, his life as a ghost is about to come to an end.

unless--

"Do you want to continue to exist in this form? I can help you."

See Farmar's condition is getting worse and worse.

Matthew couldn't help but raised his mouth.

Farmer froze for a moment.

He shook his head:
"No, thank you, Matthew, for your kindness, but I don't need it."

"Lina and the kids are waiting for me, I should go with them."

talking.

He glanced in the east direction.

Matthew followed along thoughtfully.

His vision suddenly became gray——

Just outside the burnt blackened stone house.

Six or seven souls clustered together.

They gazed at Farmar affectionately.

That's his family.

Matthew also saw that very cute little girl.

She looked dazed.

Doesn't seem to know what's going on yet.

"I'm leaving, Matthew... There are some savings of mine in the cellar behind the mill, please take them away."

Farmar's figure gradually faded into nothingness.

"I have only one wish - don't leave us dead in the wilderness, okay?"

The gray vision suddenly disappeared.

Farmar and the rest of the souls instantly disappeared.

And Matthew's temples were still heaving violently.

……

"You have mastered the new ability 'Elementary Spiritual Vision' in the encounter and dialogue with the ghost

Elementary Vision: You can see a corner of the ghost world.

Remarks: Using this ability will greatly consume mental power"

……

"Whoo~"

Matthew let out a long breath.

Under normal conditions.

Ghosts have a chance to be seen only when they become strong reality forms such as ghosts and ghosts.

Ordinary ghosts are invisible to people.

Necromancers can use the spell 'spirit perception' to capture traces of the soul body.

But spiritual body perception is a third-level spell.

Therefore, necromancers below level 8 rarely have ghosts as summons.

Farmar actually has a chance to become a powerful ghost.

It's just that his resentment dissipated too quickly.

If Matthew is an evil necromancer, he can force the other party to sign a contract with himself, and then not kill Hesse or continue to deceive Farmar Hesse that he is not dead.

In this way, a ghost with amazing combat power can be harvested.

But give Matthew ten thousand chances.

Nor would he.

……

The next step is to clean up the battlefield and count the loot.

Matthew first set his sights on the body of the arsonist Hesse.

He walked over.

A wild groping that is neither polite nor decent!
……

"You got the spoils—

400GP&80SC;

Blazing glue*3 (group);

Molotov cocktail*1 (bottle);
