The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 80 Why Am I Still Upgrading?

……

"why?"

Matthew asked the voice back in his heart.

However, the other party did not answer for a long time.

Matthew looked up at Su Ya, who was sitting on the throne with a sacred expression, as if neither the mission issued by Xio Yi nor the voice in Matthew's heart had anything to do with her.

"What is this? Are you still holding the airs of the soul of the rainforest?"

Matthew suddenly laughed in his heart:
"Because I can't be ashamed to ask someone to expel the Dragon Lich Cult, so why don't you just hand over the entrustment to the people of the Seven Saints Alliance?"

He sees clearly.

Xiu Yi must be a member of the Seven Saints Alliance, but he clearly mentioned that his mission is to "monitor Blinken", and the surveillance mission is something that can't be done at leisure.

According to Xiu Yi, he couldn't contact the alliance at this time, so he had no reason to make his own claim.

In this way, the real client of this task is ready to be revealed.

When thinking about it.

There was also a hint of playfulness on Matthew's smiling face.

However, he soon stopped laughing——

Because that little foot that had been rubbing and rubbing suddenly kicked him!
And the location is quite deadly!

At that time, Matthew almost "hissed" and rubbed his thigh subconsciously with his hands.

next second.

Matthew met Bobo's suspicious eyes:
"Are you in a daze? Hurry up and talk about your opinions, we have already expressed our views."

Matthew coughed, and looked at Xio apologetically:
"Sorry, I was really distracted just now, what did you all say?"

Bobo was dissatisfied and said:
"Lumiere and I both decided to take over his commission. People from the Dragon Cult should go to hell sooner or later, but at the same time, we also want to hear your opinion. After all, in terms of cunning and cunning, we are probably not as good as undead Mage."

Lumière nodded in agreement with Popo's statement.

Both looked at Matthew.

The latter immediately muttered:

"I need more information. The existing information does not allow me to make a judgment. Blinken is a level 20 necromancer. He is too dangerous."

Hugh immediately said:

"In fact, that's just the level on the surface. Blinken has been squeezed by the book of blasphemy for a long time, and his strength has dropped a lot. Now he has to spend part of his power to suppress that demigod at all times, so his The real combat power is only around level 18."

"If you feel that it is difficult to track Blinken, I can provide a little help in this regard. This is my job."

As he spoke, he took out a chubby, chubby elf from the small cloth pocket on his back waist, then knelt down on one knee, and placed the elf on the ground.

"I don't know!"

Immediately after the elf landed, he showed a pitiful expression.

Its skin is light blue, with water and ripples slowly flowing on it.

"Hey, I don't know, just give it a shot, it won't hurt very much."

Hugh said softly.

Hearing this, the little elf immediately hugged his eyes with both hands, but his hands were too short, and he could only cover the corners of his eyes. The rest of his eyes were watery, which looked really pitiful.

Xio Yi raised his right palm and slapped the elf on the forehead. At the same time, he also shouted the name of the priest of the Dragon Worship Cult:

"Blinken!"

Snapped!
The little elf was shattered by this slap, and its body turned into a huge pool of water.

In the middle of the water stain, a clear picture quickly appeared——

……

The brilliance of the morning sun penetrated the dense rainforest and hit the huge banana leaves. A few crystal clear dewdrops could be seen rolling back and forth on the leaves.

Suddenly, a big hand impatiently pushed away the banana leaf, and the dew immediately rolled down from the edge.

The perspective moved up quickly, and then looked down at the sparse team below with a condescending attitude.

That was one Dragon Worshiper after another!

Looking down from this angle, the composition of the team can be seen at a glance. The one in the front is the black-robed man Blinken, followed by four well-equipped dragon blood warriors, followed by more than 20 people in brown robes. Dragon worshipers.

The members of the fourth echelon are all earth fire dragons, and the one who drives them away is a dragon blood warrior at the end.

The whole marching team can be described as methodical when crossing the rainforest.

Even the earth fire dragon, which is the most prone to mistakes, seems extremely spiritual.

It can be seen that Blinken has worked hard in team management.

while walking.

The man in black suddenly raised a hand:

"stop!"

The team of nearly [-] units was in the complex terrain of the rainforest, but with Blinken's order, each unit stopped in place within two seconds!
Matthew saw a fire dragon sinking into the mud because of sudden braking.

But even so, it remained motionless, allowing the mud to gradually submerge its obese body.

Blinken looked around and said coldly:
"Rest on the spot for 8 minutes, and then prepare for battle."

With that said, he rushed to the ground fire dragon and pulled it out of the mud!

"Too careless!"

Blinken seemed to reprimand harshly, but in the next second he threw a "cleaning technique" on Fire Dragon.

The Fire Dragon let out a howl, lying on the ground and kissing Blinken's upper.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Everyone is resting in place.

Only Blinken himself kept walking back and forth, his eyes sometimes looking around and sometimes sweeping across the crowd.

suddenly.

His eyes froze on a Dragon Worshiper for three seconds, and then he walked towards him quickly.

The Dragon Worshiper suddenly panicked.

He stood up from the ground, and just about to say something, Blinken had already grabbed his collar.

next second.

Blinken carefully tidied up the folds of his neckline, and fine-tuned the inclination angle of the Dragon Cult emblem on his chest.

"Remember, no matter how big the crisis is, people must not panic or forget to take care of their appearance. This is the biggest difference between us as humans and animals."

"Next time if I still find that you still have a problem with the angle of wearing the badge, I will immediately expel you from the Dragon Worship Cult!"

The believer opened his mouth excitedly:

"Master Blinken, I, I..."

After Blinken straightened his appearance for him, he patted him on the shoulder again:

"Don't talk, work hard."

After he finished speaking, he walked away quickly, and his eyes turned to other places.

After a few minutes.

Blinken led the team to set off again.

This time the angle of view failed to keep up, but watched them leave the woods and came to a relatively open highland.

……

On the ground, the water stains slowly collected.

From the beginning, a big beach gradually turned into a small ball, and in the end, all the water stains re-merged into a round meat ball.

"I don't know!"

The elf put her hands on her hips angrily, as if scolding Xiuyi.

Xio Yi, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took out a lead weight from his waist and handed it over.

The elf grabbed the lead and swallowed it raw.

grunt.

A lump of lead appeared in its translucent stomach, bubbles burst out one by one, the elf hiccupped contentedly, and the lump of lead also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I don't know is a scout elf, but its scouting method is a bit tragic. "

Xio smiled shyly, and put the elf away.

Matthew nodded. The pictures just now were indeed very clear, and Blinken, who was a quasi-legendary, hadn't noticed it. This shows that the elf's detection ability is very good.

He extracted three pieces of information from the paragraph just now.

First, Blinken does have a strong ability to lead the team. The cubs of the evil camp are often difficult to train, but he can make every subordinate follow orders obediently. Of course, there are reasons for his strength. But Blinken's personal charisma and governance skills also account for a large proportion.

In front of Blinken's troops, the underground coalition forces of the Scourge Religion were nothing more than a group of scattered warriors, not worth mentioning.

Second, Blinken seems to have a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is no wonder that he was so angry at Su Ya's slip of the tongue when he was evacuating the Black Banyan Dreamland.

Thirdly, after Blinken withdrew from the Black Banyan Dreamland, the direction of his march seemed familiar. Matthew thought for a while, and confirmed that the highland they were about to reach was the place where he had fought side by side with the old Jitou and Lorraine before.

That's the edge of Brine Marsh.

Judging by his posture, it seems that he is going deep into the Bitterwater Swamp. If Matthew hadn't known that the former owner of the swamp was named Dania, otherwise he would have really connected Blinken with the legendary necromancer.

"What's the use of the green branch?"

Matthew asked Su Ya.

Su Ya said calmly:

"It is one of the 'roots' of the rainforest. With it, Dragon Worshipers can come and go freely in the rainforest to a certain extent, reducing the risk of encountering poisonous insects and beasts. At the same time, it is also a natural god. It's a dream thing for druids, rangers, and spirits of nature."

Matthew thought for a while:

"So Blinken snatched the green branch to fight a protracted battle in the rain forest. He didn't intend to do it once and for all, or he didn't have the ability to do it once and for all."

Hugh echoed:
"What you said is very reasonable. Blinken is a very intelligent person. He never does impulsive things. This time rushing into the rainforest is the most impulsive thing I have ever seen him do, but he handled it He’s also well-organized and organized. To be honest, if he wasn’t an enemy of the Alliance, I would have kind of wanted to make friends with him.”

Matthew nodded slightly.

It is not easy for the watchers to feel admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

This kind of brave and strategic enemy is the most troublesome, and Matthew is not willing to be his enemy unless it is absolutely necessary.

"My suggestion is that we can track down Blinken and try to prevent him from destroying the rainforest ecology. If there is a chance, I am even willing to start negotiations with him. It is the best way to persuade him to leave the rainforest without using force. Good option."

Matthew explained seriously:

"Mages at level 20 are already powerful. Blinken once worked in the Seven Saints Alliance, but then defected alone and joined the Dragon Cult. His background is incalculable.

It's not that I lack the courage to fight, but I don't want anyone present to make any mistakes.

Of course, if the planned results are still not achieved after negotiating with him, the use of force is also an option.

I believe that with our strength and cooperation, killing him is by no means impossible. "

Hugh thought for a while:
"But how do you plan to persuade him? Although Blinken is very smart, he is also very stubborn. He has already determined that the Tomb of the Dragon is real, and he will never give up."

Matthew asked:
"Don't you think it's strange? I mean the news about the Dragon's Tomb and the Wind and Sand Thieves."

Xio was taken aback for a moment, and then became serious:

"Please advise."

Matthew turned to look at Bobo:

"I remember that Yu Lian told us that day that civil strife broke out recently among the Wind and Sand Thieves Group. The two sides kept fighting inside and outside the city. As a result, they got the wrong target several times, and the dead were all outsiders, right?"

Bobo nodded vigorously:
"So what?"

Matthew chuckled lightly:
"The thieves group mistakenly assassinated the target? Are you kidding me!"

"If they are knights, fighters, or warriors, I can understand them all, but I can't understand the thieves group that is famous for intelligence investigation and precise assassination!"

Bobo suddenly realized:

"So that big fat man lied to us!"

Xio coughed when he heard the words:
"Well, he probably didn't lie to you. I have also verified this information. It is true. The places where the two sides exchanged fire were both inside and outside Cordo City. It is true that most of the dead were outsiders who were accidentally involved."

Matthew directly gave the conclusion:
"I think that the internal turmoil of the Wind and Sand Thieves Group may be acting. Yu Lian once told me that besides me, he also sold the news of the undersea tomb to another tomb robber, which means that someone may be interested in that tomb. The undersea tomb was interested, but he didn't dare to risk himself, so he found the Wind and Sand Thieves to perform such a play, with the ultimate goal of encouraging the Dragon Sect to explore the way first.

Of course, this is just one of the guesses. There are many real situations, and my guesses also have many immature places.

For example, if the Dragon Worship Cult is strong enough to directly take down the undersea tomb, the mastermind behind the scenes may have nothing to gain. This is not in line with common sense.

For another example, the possibility that Blinken, who is so smart, will be obediently hooked just because of the civil turmoil in the Wind and Sand Thieves Group is also doubtful.

In short, there are indeed many loopholes in this matter. We have not yet found out the truth, but we can use these to negotiate with Blinken first.

Judging from the fact that he evacuated the black banyan dreamland in time after he snatched the green branch, he is a sensible guy.

As long as he is rational, no matter how evil he is, he can still negotiate. "

After saying this, Matthew was a little thirsty, so he picked a leaf and twisted it into a funnel shape, rubbed himself a glass of water, and asked everyone while drinking:
"Do you have any ideas?"

Su Ya rested her chin and looked at Matthew with relish, and by the way, changed her foot and crossed her leg.

Lumière shook his head silently.

Bobo seems to have gone into a shutdown state.

Only Xiu Yi exclaimed:
"Your thinking is really clear, and you can grasp so many key points at once. I think you are more qualified for spy work than me! Why didn't you join the Seven Saints Alliance with such an excellent mage?"

Matthew smiled modestly:
"If you switch to another mage, you may be able to analyze it more thoroughly than me."

Several people discussed for a while.

In the end, even Su Ya acquiesced to Matthew's plan.

Matthew asked the others to rest for a while.

I said that I need to find a place to write two letters.

Although he has confidence in his plan, he is also worried that he is too young and inexperienced, and the plan he formulated may have hidden dangers.

So he planned to write to ask the experienced bigwigs.

Originally, Archmage Ronan was the best consultant.

It's a pity that he is not here now, so Matthew is going to write to Zeller, hoping that several seniors including Zeller, Richard, and Li Weiqi can give him some advice.

The other letter was intended to be written to Peggy. Although he had completed the advanced stage, it was obviously not Matthew's style to leave immediately without worrying about the matters of the Dragon Lich.

In this way, he may stay in the south for more than a month, and many things need to be re-advised.

Go over what you are going to write in your mind.

Matthew took out the letter paper and pen from the package and looked up to find the location.

At this moment, Su Ya's voice sounded in his ear:
"follow me."

Then Matthew saw a beautiful figure quickly disappear into the woods on the left.

He stood up calmly and walked in that direction.

But Matthew didn't know.

This scene still fell into the eyes of Bobo and Lumiere, who had long noticed his abnormality.

The two looked at each other, and then looked at the throne again, but there was no trace of the soul of the rain forest on the throne at this time?
Lumiere looked complicated and did not speak.

Popo suddenly asked:
"If a human and the spirit of nature mate, will she give birth to a human or a spirit of nature?"

Lumiere was dumbfounded at the time:
"Uh, they shouldn't have reached this level yet, right?"

Bobo looked at him with contempt:
"Obviously exceeded."

Lumière was embarrassed to scratch his head:
"Sorry, this question is beyond my cognition. I really don't know what will happen. After all, I'm just a country bumpkin who hasn't been out of the rainforest."

Bobo said seriously:

"But don't say that."

Lumiere's heart warmed.

next second.

But listen to Bobo seriously:
"The bumpkin may have more knowledge than you!"

Lumière's face froze.

"Here, I'll give you one, don't be downcast anymore."

Bobo randomly found a colored candy and an alarm clock from the package. She put the alarm clock on the ground, then tapped the button on the top, and the hands of the alarm clock started to move slowly.

Then she handed the colored candies to Lumière:

"Please eat "smart candy", you will become smarter if you eat it. "

Lumiere accepted the candy gratefully, but he did not eat it, but put it in his breast pocket.

After finishing all this, Bobo began to polish her armor silently.

Lumière pointed to the alarm clock on the ground and asked:
"What are you doing?"

"Oh, time Matthew."

Bobo casually said:

"Don't you wonder how long it takes him to—I mean, write letters?"

……

in the woods.

Su Ya casually arranged the next layer of obscurity enchantment.

She gracefully walked to a round tree stump and stopped, looking back at Matthew:

"You can write letters here."

"But before that, I have to ask you—why didn't you follow my advice?!"

Her expression became stern and fierce, as if the irascible spirit of the rainforest had returned.

Matthew said calmly:

"There must always be someone to deal with the matter of the Dragon Worship Sect."

Su Ya said coldly:
"Lumiere can take care of him."

Matthew shook his head and said:
"It's too dangerous, I can't let him go alone."

Su Ya paced back and forth angrily with a sullen face.

After a while, she suddenly let out a low sigh, and the anger on her face disappeared, replaced by a deep sorrow.

With her legs together, she slowly sat on the stump.

"I'm very weak now. The book of blasphemy has polluted the root of the black banyan dream. I need to devote a lot of energy to purify it, not to mention that I have to promote so many souls of nature."

"I need protection, Matthew."

This was the first time Matthew saw a plea in Su Ya's eyes.

Matthew pondered:
"If it's just protection, Lumiere or others are also fine."

"No."

Su Ya said decisively:

"I don't trust him."

Matthew was stunned for a moment. He had thought about the various reasons why Su Ya looked at him differently, but he didn't expect the other party to say such a reason.

"I myself came from fighting in the rainforest, so I know exactly what is etched in the blood of every creature here. I distrust every one of them equally, including your partner Lumière."

Su Ya said coldly.

Matthew didn't refute, but was just thinking about whether the words were correct or not.

"I'm just the soul of the rainforest, not the god of the rainforest."

Su Ya said softly:

"Do you think I like to pretend to be grumpy every day?

But if I don't, they will immediately feel that I am weak and that I have an opportunity to take advantage of.

I will be pushed down and destroyed in an instant!
Today, the Dragon Sect attacked the Black Banyan Dreamland. I summoned many animals, but I didn't summon the spotted giant crocodile. Do you know why?

I'm afraid it will eat me when it comes in!

Believe me, it will not miss this opportunity.

Not only it, but also Tyrannosaurus and Aeolus pterosaurs. Every beast in the rain forest cherishes the opportunity to climb up.

So I can only have some sense of security when they are promoted to war beasts after they die.

Just because I was born surrounded by wolves!
Matthew.

Can you understand this feeling? "

Matthew looked over.

Su Ya's expression was still stubborn, but there were tears in her eyes.

"Lumiere should not be that kind of person."

Matthew said.

Su Ya smiled:

"Look, you used 'should', which means you've been convinced by me."

Matthew was noncommittal.

"Then why do you trust me?"

he asks.

"Because you come from the civilized world, and you also have the approval of the oak forest."

Su Ya said softly:
"The oak forest is not a good thing, but she has always been very accurate in seeing people-even if the oak forest related to you has not been officially promoted to the soul of nature, I still firmly believe in this."

After listening to this, Matthew probably understood Su Ya's current situation.

It's just that he still looks apologetic:
"But I can't let them go by themselves, I don't worry about their safety."

Su Ya looked at him resentfully:
"So you are worried about my safety?"

Matthew scratched his head:
"At most, I'll leave you a bone dragon?"

"roll!"

Su Ya suddenly changed her face:
"Who wants your bone dragon, foul-smelling necromancer!
You and your summons are best kept far away from me!
I don't want your protection! "

Matthew raised his eyebrows. He realized Su Ya's little trick, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled playfully:
"It's not a good thing to lose the temper of the soul of the rainforest now, after all, you have exposed your weakness."

Not to be outdone, Su Ya slapped the stump between her legs with her right hand:
"come!
Come here if you have the ability!
Don't you want to write a letter?

I just sit here and won't leave.

Either you write elsewhere.

Either you take me from here.

If it's a man, you choose one..."

Matthew rushed over immediately when he heard the words.

After some tossing.

He successfully subdued Su Ya from an extremely tricky angle.

Su Ya was half kneeling in front of the tree stump, her face full of disbelief.

Matthew said leisurely:
"Okay now, I dictate and you write for me."

As he spoke, he slapped the letter paper and quill on the tree stump.

Su Ya suddenly screamed:
"Are you still a man?"

Matthew said calmly:
"Write or not?"

Su Ya gave up on herself and said:

"Write! I write! Let go!"

Matthew let go of her hand defensively, but she did grab the quill and letter paper.

"Say."

Su Ya suppressed her anger and said.

Matthew cleared his throat:
"Dear Zeller..."

"Honey?!!!!"

Su Ya raised her head and almost dropped her pen.

Matthew directly pressed her head down:

"You write yours, don't ask too many questions."

Su Ya snorted softly, her face flushed slightly, and she began to write obediently.

……

"Hint: The favorability of the soul of the rainforest +1+1+1..."

……

Matthew looked at it and smiled slightly.

Two letters were quickly written.

Matthew quickly left the dreamland of the black banyan tree, summoned Ella who was taking a long rest from the Moon Obscure Forest, and asked her to bring the two letters back to Rolling Stone Town.

Then he recuperated for a while in the black banyan dreamland.

after an hour.

Just when the group was about to set off to negotiate with Blinken.

Such a piece of news that surprised him suddenly appeared in front of Matthew.

……

"Reminder: Since you have successfully completed the advanced stage, the power restriction of your contracted summon (Tauren skeleton) will be passively released within 24 hours. more power."

……

"Is there such a thing? I actually limited Peggy's strength? Why didn't we know when we signed the contract?"

Matthew froze for a moment.

He didn't hesitate.

Directly choose manual release!
……

A little earlier.

Rolling Stone Town ushered in another morning.

The sky is bright.

On the farmer's street, pedestrians come and go. Housewives or old people with baskets stop and go in front of the stalls, saying good morning to each other, asking prices, and occasionally chatting.

The street was full of voices.

On the corner of the street, at a stall selling white radish.

The owner of the stall, Mary, was tidying up the vegetable stall. Suddenly, her eyes blurred, and the two white radishes disappeared out of thin air!
Ding Dong!

A few loose coins followed and landed on the booth.

Mary took the money without any surprise, and turned her head to her husband who was brushing the donkey cart and said:

"The invisible man actually came to buy white radish today!"

The husband asked in a daze:

"Aren't our white radishes always delicious?"

Mary shook her head and said:
"He bought it once two years ago, but he hasn't bought it since then. He probably doesn't like to eat it. Maybe there are guests at the Invisible Man's house today. The guests like to eat, so he bought it."

The husband put down the brush in his hand, hugged Mary's bucket waist from behind and praised:
"You are so smart!"

Mary was complacent for a while, then as if she remembered something, she said solemnly:

"So don't take chances. I heard that you got a little close to that slut Jenny recently. If you get caught, hum!"

The husband trembled and repeatedly said no.

Mary then kissed him contentedly.

The sun gradually rises.

Soon.

A tall shadow appeared in the alley of the next street.

Peggy carried the food basket and counted the dishes purchased today as if talking to herself:
"White radish, carrot, beef, ox eye, beef liver..."

"The recipe that Sif said should be based on these ingredients."

Soon.

She returned home briskly, only to find that the kitchen was already on fire. She walked over and saw that Sif, who stayed overnight last night, was cooking a pot of delicious soup!

Peggy asked curiously:
"What soup are you making? Baby."

Sif pulled up the chef's skirt of an unknown size, held up a spoon, and smiled back:
"I made soup with the leftover fish jelly and mushrooms from last night. By the way, didn't I always say that I want to try to make dishes that can be tasted by undead?"

"I added something special to the soup today, would you like to try it?"

talking.

She served Peggy a bowl of soup.

Peggy took the soup, no matter how hot it was, she stuffed it directly into her chin.

It's different from Ah Bing.

The hot soup flowed through her neck, before it leaked or dripped out, it was instantly evaporated by her soul fire!

"Forehead……"

She also burps like a human.

"The soup is good, but unfortunately I still can't taste it."

Peggy looked at Sif's disappointed eyes, and patted the girl on the shoulder:

"Don't be discouraged, baby, you're already great."

"When Matthew comes back, he will be stunned by your craftsmanship, hahaha, I can't wait to see that scene."

But the next second.

Sif suddenly widened his eyes.

Peggy hadn't realized what was happening:
"What's wrong, Sif?"

Sif pointed to Peggy's chest and said:
"You were there just now, it turned on, and then you seemed to be completely different."

Paige looked down.

I found a bright white light flashing in my chest!
"I'm about to upgrade!"

Peggy was overjoyed:

"I haven't leveled up since I followed Matthew that bad guy. What's going on today? I can feel the surging power!"

"Wait, is it because of this bowl of soup?"

Sif waved his hand, showing that he didn't know anything.

Peggy just wanted to fill another bowl.

Can be suddenly.

There was another white light in her chest!
"This bowl of soup of yours has such a powerful effect that it can make me go up two levels in a row?"

Paige exclaimed.

Sif was also shocked.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a while.

Peggy's body had two white lights in succession!
"Why am I still upgrading!?"

Peggy ecstatically grabbed Sif's shoulder:

"Son, we may have discovered a big secret!"

"That's your jelly fish mushroom soup, which can quickly upgrade the undead!"

"We got rich baby!"

"I have to share this good news with stingy Matthew, oh, Matthew is not here... Forget about him, I will secretly upgrade and give him a surprise later!"

She caroused for a while between the kitchen and the living room.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door politely:

"Excuse me, is Peggy home?"

Sif opened the door and looked.

Outside is an owl.
