The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 94 The Truth
……

When the pair of slender dragon horns leaning back on the dragon's head appeared in Matthew's field of vision, his first reaction was to be taken aback:
"Red Dragon?"

No, not right.

Soon, he realized that the dragon in front of him was far from the real red dragon.

The horns of his head resembled a red dragon, but below the neck, the painting style changed drastically. Under the fine and rough scales, the guy's bloated and short neck almost merged with his fat body.

It is not difficult to see through the cracks of the collapsed buildings.

This dragon is almost fat into a flat meat ball!

His frail forelimbs were completely buried in the fat pile on his chest, while his hind limbs were hidden in the building, making it hard to see clearly.

Matthew immediately settled down.

This is a standard sub-dragon with at least 1/4 of the blood of the red dragon. Judging from the appearance, it is highly likely to be a sub-dragon hybrid of the red dragon and the ground dragon.

That is, a real fire dragon.

This kind of monster is certainly not to be underestimated, but it is far from a real dragon.

After the dragon chant.

A large number of rainforest creatures were scared away.

The head of the fire dragon hangs limply on the only remaining wooden shelf.

His gilt vertical pupils stared at Matthew and his party.

Followed by.

A very majestic voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"Help!"

"Save me!"

Matthew looked back at Bai.

The goblin warlock shrugged:

"They never let me in here, they only said it was a secret place, but I heard from Blinken that he caught a fire dragon and put it in for breeding."

breeding?

Matthew looked at the fat Fire Dragon again.

The latter cried out with snot and tears:
"That's right, Blinken's god damn necromancer locked me in the desert for five full years, five years, do you know how I got here? Every day when I open my eyes, I eat, breed, eat, Breeding, I'm about to be driven crazy by him!"

"Don't look at me as fat. In fact, I wasn't fat at all before. I was flexible. It was because of Blinken's conspiracy and the pressure of breeding in recent years that I didn't manage my body shape well and became the ghost I am now. look!"

"Everything is blamed on that bastard Blinken! Well, you brave men can appear here, that bastard Blinken must have been wiped out by you, right?"

Matthew looked at him curiously:
"You speak the common language fluently."

"Thank you."

Fire Dragon responded politely:

"My name is Alutron. My grandfather is a powerful red dragon. My father is not good. He is just an earth dragon who only knows how to fight and heat. Fortunately, my mother who is a goblin is smart enough. In time to save my lineage, she made me wiser and more attractive - and you'll see when I'm down, I'm not bad looking."

As he spoke, Aru stretched out five paws, trying to scratch his chin.

In the end, because he was too fat, his claws couldn't reach him no matter what, Alu ran around in a hurry, and in the end it was Matthew who accurately shot five arcane missiles to relieve him of his urgent need.

Matthew turned around and discussed with the team for a while. Everyone felt that the fire dragon was not a threat, so they planned to enter the central tower to see the situation, and then decide whether to release this dragon with mixed blood and high intelligence.

Although part of the tower has collapsed, the rest is still solid.

Matthew and others walked in cautiously.

In the tower, they found the fatter lower body of the earth fire dragon Aru. His stomach and buttocks occupied almost 2/3 of the space inside the tower, and the remaining feet, tail and short wings could only be squeezed in Tie it under the belly and on the flanks, it really looks like a ball.

There are more than 30 thick iron chains running through Alutron's body.

Magical incantations were also affixed to these chains.

"Are these spells used to restrain your actions?"

Matthew asked.

"No, part of it is used to assist me in my movements. As you can see, I am too fat now, and I can't even turn over with my own strength."

Despite being locked up as a breeding tool for five years, Aru still looks optimistic:

"And the other part, uh, is the ones that stick on my stomach and tail, please help me get rid of them, it's for aphrodisiac."

"Damn Blinken, you can't imagine what he did to me!"

While checking the situation in the tower with his companions, Matthew chatted with Alu in a non-conforming manner:

"How did you get caught by him?"

Arulant complained:

"At first, I lived in the depths of the Underdark without any worries, but one day the little black dragon in the Frozen City went crazy and wanted to double the tribute from all the living creature's nests around us. At that time, I couldn't even feed myself Difficulty, what to take to pay tribute?

As a last resort, I moved three times toward the surface.

Not long after my last move, I met Blinken.

At the beginning, he pretended very well, seeing that I had a big appetite, he kept tempting me with a lot of blood of cattle and sheep.

I couldn't resist his temptation, the more I ate, the fatter I became, and he became good friends.

In about half a year, I ate from a healthy handsome guy to a round meatball.

At this time, Blinken finally showed his ugly face. He forced me to breed him. Of course I was unwilling, but at that time, I completely lost my fighting power because I was too fat. captured.

After that, I was imprisoned in the territory of the Dragon Worship Cult, and I was tortured by them day and night.

I really regret it all these years.

Would I have been able to run a little faster if I had taken a smaller bite, and escaped the clutches of that goddamn necromancer?
Why! "

His tone was full of regret.

Matthew smiled, and asked curiously:
"What animal did Blinken let you breed with?"

"Oh, that's too much. At the beginning, I tried mammoths, rhinos, crocodiles, giant camels... I tried them all, and I was quite happy during that time. I felt that although I was fooled, life was not so good. Oops, but soon, my nightmare came. One day, he brought back two terrifying creatures. A few days later, he told me that I would have to keep breeding with those creatures. It really pissed me off!"

"If that's the case, it's fine. What's even more hateful is that they are always demanding. Sometimes I feel that what they squeezed out is the fat on my body, but I haven't lost any weight. This is too hateful!"

Aru complained.

"In short, I don't want to mention the name of that disgusting creature at all, anyway, you will see it soon."

What Aru said was true.

Soon.

In a large number of giant cages at the bottom of the tower, the group saw ugly creatures with eight legs, short hairs, and densely packed compound eyes.

……

"Breeding spider (LV11/giant creature/ancient creature): good at participating in the reproduction and reproduction of any species, and most of the offspring born inherit the ability and form of the paternal line; the reproductive methods of the offspring are also passed down from the paternal line"

……

With just one glance, Matthew understood why the Fire Dragon driven by the Dragon Cult was more like a spider in size.

"It's actually a product of large-scale hybridization of fire dragons and spiders."

Matthew can basically conclude.

Blinken used the technology he mastered to continuously extract the reproductive potential of Alu and the breeding spider, thus obtaining a large number of cheap and low-quality dragon eggs.

After these dragon eggs were quickly ripened and hatched, most of the young dragons were reduced to dragon mountain ash in the black pit.

Blinken collected a large amount of this material, and if it was just for the preparation of the dracolich transformation ceremony, hundreds of dracolich could be produced in batches.

There must be other uses for this thing.

And those young dragons who survived the deep pit by chance are eligible to become members of the Dragon Worship Cult, and they will be raised and tamed by special dragon trainers, so that they can be driven by the Dragon Worship Cultists when they burn, kill and plunder.

Although those ground fire dragons are not worth mentioning with the cooperation of Matthew and Bobo, they are still very difficult for ordinary adventure teams.

What's more, the targets of the Dragon Worship Cult's plunder are usually ordinary people.

"According to the number of dragon eggs in the Dragon Farm, although it has only been built for a short time, it is indeed preparing for a protracted war. But I don't know what happened later, and Blinken completely dismissed it. With this kind of thought, he directly abandoned the Dragon Farm, and then disappeared."

Matthew walks outside the breeding spider's cage.

These spiders looked dull and unresponsive, as if they were natural reproductive machines.

"They don't seem very intelligent, or even biologically instinctive."

Matthew asked suspiciously.

"That's right, so it's not interesting to breed at all——

I mean, "breeding spiders" are indeed not normal creatures. When Blinken introduced them to me, he once proudly stated that he got this creature from a big man from the Seven Saints Alliance.

If you ask me, this must be another ghost made by some mage in the laboratory!
It is impossible for such a pure machine to be born in nature. "

Aru said so.

At this time, Li Weiqi, who also checked the cage for a long time, said seriously to Matthew:

"He is right. The breeding spider is not a natural creature, at least not a creature that should be in the current natural world. I sensed an uncoordinated "Qi" on it, which means that it has traces of artificial synthesis. "

"Not the current creature? You mean?"

Matthew doesn't know why.

"It is the product of ancient creatures revived by using magic, but magic can often only revive a small amount of characteristics of ancient creatures. This defect often produces many fatal sequelae."

Li Weiqi looked at the weak Xiuyi:

"I heard that the Seven Saints Alliance has conducted several rounds of experiments on "Ancient Mythological Creature Revival". Is there such a spider among them? "

Xio spread his hands when he heard the words:

"I'm just a non-staff in charge of running errands. I will do whatever the master asks me to do. Even if this kind of project exists, it's not my turn to know."

Matthew's heart skipped a beat.

He had heard about this project from Taling 177.

Next.

Everyone quickly checked and counted the supplies in the tower.

Except that Matthew found in the storage room that a jar that seemed to have contained a large amount of Longshan ash had just been taken away.

The rest of the things are basically in line with everyone's perception of Dragon Worship.

These more than 30 brooding spiders have high magical scientific research value. Matthew planned to transport them all back to Rolling Stone Town, but it was a pity that Alutron told him that these spiders must be regularly fed with Blinken's mana and blood to survive.

Blinken hadn't returned for a few days, and many of the spiders' lives were showing signs of decline, and it wouldn't be long before they all died.

This made Matthew regretful.

At the moment, he can only continue to keep these spiders in the iron cage, and take away the corpses after they die. At least they can be used as materials for subsequent summoning of high-level undead creatures "Spider of Hades" or "Frost Death Spider".

The work of freeing Arulant was long and laborious.

Fortunately, Lumiere called a large number of Jangos.

Even so, with the combined efforts of many people, it would take several hours to remove an iron chain that runs through the Fire Dragon's body.

Fortunately, Arulant was very patient.

The Jango people here are still unloading the iron chain for him, while the fire dragon's head over there is already snoring everywhere.

It seems that what he said is true.

After leaving the tower.

Matthew inspected several other buildings in the Yulong Farm.

After collecting everything that should be collected.

Next.

Destroying the Dragon Farm is just a matter of setting fire to it.

……

In the afternoon, the entire Yulong Farm except the central tower had been demolished.

After Alu successfully escaped from the trap, this place will also be set ablaze.

From then on, the threat of Dragon Worship to the rainforest will be lifted temporarily.

Matthew discussed with Rhaegar and Li Weiqi for a while, and jointly decided on the treatment plan for the captives of the cultists.

After breaking through the Dragon Breeding Field, there were about [-] Dragon Worshipers in their hands, including three high-level ones: Necromancer Potter, Dragon Blood Warrior Kumbo Thotra, and Elf Warlock Bai.

Combined with Xiuyi's recommendation, Matthew planned to send all these people to the "Fortress of Hesuo Mountain".

It is the place where the Seven Holy Alliance judges and detains prisoners.

The reason for making this choice was partly because Xiu Yi said that although he could not contact the alliance headquarters, he could reach the "Mount Heisuo Fortress" in the west of the desert.

According to the practice of the alliance headquarters, if these cultists are caught, they will be sent directly to Hesuo Mountain or a similar institution. This is in line with official procedures.

On the other hand, it was because the Seven Saints Alliance had offered quite a reward to members of the Dragon Worship Cult.

For members of the Dragon Tooth level, the reward for catching alive is usually between 2000 and 2500 gold coins!
And killing a dragon tooth can only receive about 500.

Ordinary Dragon Worshipers will reward about 50 gold coins each.
Even out of interest and value considerations, they did not intend to kill these people directly.

Matthew estimated that these captives could probably provide them with a bounty of around 7500~9000.

This bounty is almost as good as the magic crystal they got in the dungeon!
The only hiccup is.

When checking the list of captives, Xiu Yi said that the existence of Elf Warlock Bai is very embarrassing, because she joined only recently, and the alliance did not offer a reward to her. If she is to be handed over to prison, she can only be regarded as an ordinary believer calculate.

At this time, Bai said very politely that she was willing to pay the ransom herself.

Matthew was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he finally planned to hand over the goblin warlock to the Seven Saints Alliance.

However, he suggested an alternative approach.

the next few days.

A group of people lived in the central tower.

Those empty iron cages also became the temporary cells of the Dragon Worshipers.

While they were rescuing Alutron, they waited for the field personnel of Hesuo Mountain Prison.

At the same time, they are also secretly guarding against Blinken who may still appear.

Soon, two days passed.

As the rebellion was about to expire, Matthew transformed Miss Zombie and Bone Dragon into his summons.

The difference is that the former is just a normal summon, even after the conversion ceremony, she still doesn't get the bonus of Silvermoon Zombie, which makes Matthew feel a little pity.

The latter occupied a contract slot and became the undead of Matthew's fifth contract.

However, compared with Philoreus, this Skull Dragon is average in appearance and inferior in attributes. Xiao Bo can almost beat two of them with one.

After signing the contract, Matthew threw it into the negative energy plane and let it pick up the bones by itself.

But it doesn't matter whether the skull dragon is powerful or not.

Its existence itself is the greatest meaning to Matthew.

Besides.

The task of expelling the Dragon Worshipers received in the black banyan dream before also showed that it had been completed.

It may be because Matthew didn't kill very fiercely in the follow-up.

In the end, only three more druid spells were taken.

……

"Beast Sense: You touch a willing beast. When the spell is in effect, you directly experience the senses of the subject beast, including its special senses, but at this time your body is considered to be equivalent to blindness and deafness."

"Plant location technique: You call the name of a certain plant, and the plant will respond to you within 10 kilometers."

"Blooming Leaves: You grab a large piece of any plant's leaves and wither them in about 5 seconds. During this period, you or your companions will recover a certain amount of health.

Too much use of this spell can lead you astray, so use it with caution!
Available times per day: 5"

……

All three spells are useful to some extent.

Especially "Mi Ye Shenghua", this is the first healing spell that Matthew has obtained, and he can finally breastfeed when his teammates fight in the future!
As far as mentioning this spell in the description is easy to go astray.

Matthew stated that he is a necromancer.

Compared with the normal druids, he has gone astray, so let's sprinkle water on this little bit of misdirection.

The evening of the third day.

The floating boat used to escort the prisoners in Heisuo Mountain Fortress finally arrived near the ruins of Yulongchang.

This time, after Heisuo Mountain received Xiuyi's magic message, it urgently dispatched two field law enforcement officers to take the prisoners of Dragon Worship Cult.

The names of these two law enforcement officers are Dave and Macbeth. They are both fourth-order mages. They have worked in Hesuo Mountain for several years and have rich experience.

It is worth mentioning that.

Macbeth actually knew Rhaegar, and the two chatted for more than ten minutes at a dinner held by Archmage Ronan a few years ago. Although they didn't reminisce for a long time after this meeting, with this relationship, the two sides became closer. Believe it, the handover is very harmonious.

Macbeth told Rhaegar that according to the normal process, the prisoners who were taken to Mount Hessus had to pay all the rewards after the trial, and usually only half of them would be paid during the handover;
But this time, Xiuyi specially emphasized the bravery and contribution of the group in the magic message, so Heisuo Mountain also gave special approval and asked them to send the bonus directly.

This is the end.

Matthew and his party took a high reward.

Dave and Macbeth also harvested a group of important criminals as they wished.

Both parties were happy.

However, in order not to delay work, the two sides did not exchange pleasantries for too long.

Ten minutes after putting everyone on board.

The floating boat started up again. During this period, Xio Yi boarded the boat. He grabbed the side of the boat and bid farewell to Matthew and the others, saying that he had to go to Hesuo Mountain to report on his duties due to work needs.

Matthew sent off Xiuyi and the floating boat with a smile.

Until the black shadow dissipated at the end of the desert.

The smile on his face faded away.

"Is it all marked?"

Matthew asked Lee Vicky.

Li Weiqi nodded solemnly:

"It's marked, the ship is confirmed to be the ship of Hesuo Mountain, and the person is also a member of the Seven Saints Alliance."

Matthew's face was a bit complicated when he heard that.

He turned his back to the sunset and sighed softly:
"Tonight at most, the truth of why Blinken suddenly disappeared should be revealed."

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

night.

By a bonfire near the tower.

Li Weiqi appeared in front of Matthew in a hurry again.

Don't wait for him to speak.

Matthew nodded to indicate that he already knew everything.

on the data bar.

……

"Reminder: The "Necromancer Potter" and "Dragon Blood Warrior Kumbo Totra" you marked are dead!"

……

"I'm afraid it won't be long before the news that the Hesuo Mountain airship has crashed for some reason or has been crashed by a giant dragon will reach our ears."

Matthew smiled helplessly at Li Weiqi.

"This world is really complicated and cruel."

Li Weiqi's expression did not change.

He sat down beside Matthew and poked the bonfire meaninglessly with a branch:
"So, the reason why Blinken resolutely abandoned Dragon Worship is already very clear."

"He just wanted to survive."

Matthew nodded slightly:
"I couldn't figure it out at first. Blinken was aggressive when he was negotiating with me. How could he never see anyone again after the negotiation."

"Thinking about it now, during that negotiation, he had seriously misjudged my identity. When he saw Xiu Yi beside me and heard that I was related to the Seven Saints Alliance, he panicked. He thought I was the first step for a big man in the league to test him out, and then, what awaited him was the fate of cutting grass and roots."

"The reason why I haven't thought of this for a long time is probably because I have a little illusion about the Seven Saints Alliance deep in my heart."

"The alliance has allowed the development of Dragon Worship Cult to go unchecked for so many years. I am afraid that internal resistance is a major reason."

"And Xioyi said that he was sent by the alliance to monitor Blinken, but I am afraid that only he himself knows whether it is monitoring or cooperation."

"After all, he has led us to fight Blinken from beginning to end."

"The alliance has always only distributed half of the rewards first. Dave and Macbeth are so enthusiastic this time just to shut our mouths. After all, I have Ronan's Patronus on me, Rhaegar and you are also present, so they dare not Have bad thoughts."

"The Dragon Breeding Farm was wiped out by us, and the members of the Dragon Worshipers fled to the death. Even the boss, Blinken, dared not stand up like a dog in the water."

"In a few days, people will start cheering and celebrating, and there will be one less disaster in the world."

"It's just that who would have thought that the notorious third priest of the Dragon Worship Cult, Blinken, would most likely be the black glove of a big man in the alliance?"

"How much of the dragon mountain ash and other taboo materials that Blinken collected so much was used by himself, and how much was handed over to the behemoths hiding in the shadows in the Seven Saints Alliance?"

"I do not know……"

"I do not know."

The hunting fire reflected on Matthew's face.

His expression was a little sad, a little helpless, and more, there were traces of anger.
