The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 9 Warlock Camp

……

"Grow fast?"

Matthew looked happy.

This is also the Druid's signature spell.

The "growth green sap" he had previously used to plant trees was the potionization of this spell.

Because it has been chemically treated.

So the effect will be discounted.

If you can master this spell proficiently.

His ability to plant trees will be comparable to that of a real druid!

……

"Wild transformation and rapid growth are both Druid's signatures, so it seems that the rewards provided by the task of 'Maintenance is also very important' are all abilities on the Druid side?"

"No, maybe it has nothing to do with the task, but with the means to complete the task—whether it's dealing with the arsonist or the further Scourge Cult, blood will inevitably be seen."

"In this way, the mode of system rewards is the reverse operation? Planting trees, a peaceful act of loving nature, is given to the bone dragon of the necromantic system, while the rewards involved in killing and confrontation have become the druid side. of?"

……

Matthew thought with interest.

The current sample is too small to draw conclusions.

But this does not prevent him from making bold assumptions.

He glanced under the task bar.

There are new changes in Tai Chi symbols——

The green light spot on the left has completely exceeded 2/3.

It's not far from being fully charged.

Just don't know what will happen when it's full.

Worth mentioning is the right side.

The gray spots are still very light though.

But it is much better than the previous state of a pool of stagnant water.

Matthew has sharp eyes.

He could see the gray dot at the bottom trying to surge upward.

Swish!
The light spot rushed to the 1/3 position in one breath.
……

"The Heart of Nature and the Way of the Necromancer."

Matthew guessed.

The rapid increase of gray light spots should be related to tonight's battle.

The operating mechanism behind it has yet to be explored.

But not now.

near the farm.

Someone has already discovered the disaster here.

People came from the direction of the town and the countryside one after another.

Matthew led the team back to the oak forest.

He sent the skeletons back into the burrow.

Then said to Peggy:

"I have to trouble you to walk back by yourself."

Paige exclaimed:
"It's so dark, let me walk alone at night? People will be scared!"

Matthew coughed:
"Then shall I summon another skeleton to accompany you?"

Peggy bitterly said:

"If I don't pay overtime pay and I have to walk home by myself, the conscience of your Necromancers is indeed completely corroded by negative energy!"

Matthew's hand:

"The time for reverse summoning has passed. I'm not a very capable person. You have to be considerate of me, Peggy."

Peggy softened her heart:

"Okay, okay, I'll go back alone, but next time I work the night shift, you have to give me at least one "soul crystal". When we signed the contract, you said it was too hype..."

Send away the chattering tauren skeleton.

Matthew looked north.

The ghost of the trader mentioned the chaos in the Hag's Keep.

Combining the content in the secret letter.

Even if the stronghold of the Scourge Cult is not in the Hag Fort, it should be nearby.

Time is tight.

Matthew intends to root out the threat as quickly as possible.

So he jumped.

call!
A raven flitted across a moonlit branch.

Go northeast.

……

"The divination result is out, the enemy's location has been determined, and it's in a valley near the Hag's Castle."

In the lord's hall.

A heavily armed middle-aged man with a thin face patrolled the surroundings calmly.

Stung by his scorching gaze, some of the people present moved their heads unnaturally.

Others raised their heads excitedly to meet each other's gaze.

They longed for a chance to gain the approval of the Lord of the Blood Banner.

"Brad and Ann, each of you lead a team to outflank the area from the southwest. Be fast and be careful in ambush!"

"Mr. Zeller, please continue to contact the senior mages in White Rock City or Strom City. If anyone is willing to help, no matter what the conditions, promise him!"

"As I expected, our enemies are not robbers and robbers who are dazzled by money at all, they are a group of lunatics, scum and heretics!
As I said before, the Blood Banner family will never compromise with such evil scum, and your mission may be to kill every villain you see.

That's all. "

In the quiet hall.

The voice of the Lord of the Blood Banner was resounding.

Strict and tough orders came down one after another.

Those who received specific tasks were all overjoyed.

But gradually.

Some people also had doubts on their faces.

"My lord, will our radical actions irritate the other party? After all, Miss Sif is indeed in their hands."

An unusually handsome young man in robes spoke.

This also revealed the doubts of other people present.

The Blood Banners are indeed known for their toughness when dealing with their enemies.

But now the problem is.

The eldest lady is in the hands of those villains!
Follow the approach of the Blood Banner Lord.

Sif's survival rate is probably appallingly low.

Everyone stared at the blood banner lord in puzzlement.

The latter said coldly:

"It is precisely because Sif is in their hands that we are doing this."

He didn't explain much.

Instead, he said to the handsome man:

"Mr. Zeller, in addition to contacting the senior mage, please also pay attention to the clues we found before. Sif cannot be kidnapped out of thin air—you should understand what I mean."

Zeller nodded solemnly.

"Everyone, please act, use your fastest speed, use your strongest strength, please!"

The Blood Banner Lord waved his hand.

The people in the lord's hall gradually dispersed.

At last.

Only the Lord of the Blood Banner was left alone.

He paced to a window.

Soon.

An owl flew in.

"To be honest, I don't really understand the men in your Blood Banner family. They are clearly worried that their daughter will die, but they have to make decisions that may endanger her."

Owl spoke suspiciously.

The Blood Banner Lord took a deep breath:

"In front of everyone, my identity will always be the Patriarch of the Blood Banner, nothing else.

Everything I say speaks for the family.

And the Blood Banner family will never compromise with evil.

This is our motto. "

The owl was even more puzzled:

"Then why did you call me here?"

Lord of the Blood Banner said:

"I knew you would become a giant eagle."

Owl nods:
"Yes."

"Take me to the Hag Fort. The favor you owed me at the beginning will be written off."

The Lord of the Blood Banner said decisively.

Owl thought for a while.

Nodding and saying:
"can."

"But it seems that the Patriarch of the Blood Banner family shouldn't risk his life."

The Lord of the Blood Banner clenched the sword around his waist when he heard the words:
"Now, I am Sif's father."

……

after an hour.

The raven flew over the barren hills under the moonlit night.

Occasionally, one or two ghostly screams could be heard in the distance.

The Hag's Castle stands high on the barren hills.

The fog around it lingers all year round.

Even if the moon hangs high tonight.

Matthew could only vaguely catch a glimpse of the outline of the castle.

Gazing at the mountain fog.

He's feeling bad.

It was as if there was always a pair of gloomy eyes staring at him in the fog.

……

"It is said that before the ancient castle was abandoned, it was the former residence of a hero of the human kingdom. One can tell what happened."

"It's not that no one has explored it later, but the adventurers who dared to break into the gate of the castle failed to come out in the end. They seemed to be swallowed by the fog."

"The last time someone explored the castle was a well-known necromancer in White Rock City. He didn't know where he got the news, and he publicly declared that the 'Law of Immortality' was hidden in the castle, and he insisted on entering it.

The last necromancer was no exception.

And when he was exploring the old castle, he once had a fierce battle outside the gate with a group of monsters "old hags" from the lower world, so the old castle was also called "Hitch Castle". "

……

The words from the chat with Brad came to mind.

Matthew suddenly had a chilling feeling.

Perception told him.

This old castle is not something that I can explore now.

Fortunately, his destination tonight is not at the Hag Fort.

Bypassed the weird fog.

Raven leaned westward.

Soon.

Sporadic fires lit up halfway up the mountainside of the barren hills ahead.

It was a dangerous valley.

Taniguchi is guarded.

However, the attitude of the guards seems rather loose.

Matthew lowered the height naturally.

By the way, he glanced at the taskbar.

……

"The quest progress has been updated: you found the 'Warlock Camp'!"

……

Matthew didn't fly in hastily.

The mission target is a warlock.

This class usually has a very high perception.

A sudden appearance of a raven can easily startle a snake.

He flew low around the mouth of the valley, and skillfully stopped in the bushes beside the mountain road.

"There have been fights here, and more than one."

There are many bones on the mountain road.

There are human ones.

There are also smaller humanoids.

——It's a "lizard monster"!
Matthew made a judgment based on his 'knowledge'.

"The wilderness is convenience. For necromancers, the corpse of the owner is naturally the home of the virtuous..."

He decisively changed back to human form and began to summon skeletons.

The sound of incantations and Matthew's mana injected a ray of mystery into the messy pile of corpses under the moonlit night.

Skeletons stood up from the pool of blood one by one.

Their state is very ordinary - the soul fire in their skulls is on and off, and the bones on their bodies are even more scattered. Some of them are a mixture of lizard monsters and humans, which look very weird and terrifying.

This is the lowest level of cannon fodder skeletons.

It is incomparable with the elite group that Matthew hid in the cellar.

But enough to scare the layman.

……

The obvious magic fluctuations of the summoning of the undead quickly attracted the attention of the camp.

A fat man over two meters tall moved over surrounded by a group of minions.

He was covered in heavy armor.

Behind him were two teams holding a huge battle ax and a meteor hammer for him respectively.

"Hey! Necromancer? What are you doing?"

The fat man looked at Matthew rather apprehensively.

Matthew is still summoning skeletons on his own:

"Don't you have eyes? I am giving these dead souls a new life."

The fat man sullenly said:

"They are my people! Even if they die, they are still my corpse!"

Matthew said arrogantly:
"Not now."

boom!
The fat man stomped his feet angrily.

There was a faint shaking on the already loose mountain road.

"You want to be my enemy?"

Matthew stared at each other with a half-smile:

"Your body oil can refine a lot of corpse oil, but I will not consider making you my servant, because your skeleton must have been worn out to support your body during your lifetime. I don't like defective products."

"kill him!"

Seeing that the fat man was about to make a move.

Suddenly a majestic voice came from the camp:

"enough!"

Fatty was so angry that his whole body was shaking:
"Fin, you asked me to kill him! How dare he laugh at my figure! No one dares to do that!"

However, the little minions beside him quickly dispersed.

A man in a silver robe appeared in front of Matthew.

He looked about 30 years old, blond and blue-eyed, with a good appearance, and he seemed to be a decent person in temperament.

"Tell me why you came, Necromancer, or don't blame us for doing it."

Finn looked down at Matthew.

"You are Finn?"

Matthew was also examining him.

"I killed an arsonist and found this. I'm interested in the cause you mentioned, so I found this here."

He threw the secret letter over.

Finn glanced at the secret letter.

Suddenly laughed:

"You killed my friend, how dare you come to me?"

His original face, which was biased towards the majestic and square, also became a little strange because of this smile.

"If that trash can be called a friend by you, then I should be disappointed."

Matthew said bluntly.

Finn laughed loudly when he heard the words:

"He used to be, but not anymore."

"You killed him, so it makes sense to be part of our cause in his place."

"Come on first, my friend, as long as you are interested in the great cause of the Scourge, then we will get along very well."

　Thanks to the book friend [Earth's Dirty Demon King] for the rewarding rudder master!
