The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Feeling the burning pain coming from the lower back.

Matthew couldn't help but take out a mirror and look at it.

So-called prey branding.

Its appearance looks like a scar scratched by a beast with three claws.

Different from ordinary scars.

These three scars were still shining with dark red blood.

Matthew covered it with his hand.

It's quite hot.

A long, long time passed.

The hot scar slowly faded away and gradually turned into something like a tattoo.

Matthew frowned.

He could feel that this thing was a bit like Suriel's enchantment spell, and it had become a permanent part of his body.

It seems a bit difficult to clear.

at the same time.

He also sensed the hidden properties of the prey's brand.

…

"Additional effect: When the prey brand is activated, your resistance to the command and charm spells of other members of the opposite sex is increased by 100%!

At the same time, your resistance to the command and charm spells of Sif, the Daughter of Purgatory, is reduced to 10% of normal conditions!

When anyone of the opposite sex has intimate physical contact, mucous membrane contact, or exchange of bodily fluids with you.

The brand will automatically enter the active state.

At this time, you can feel slight pain and gain the attribute improvement of "temporary concentration +1"! "

…

Matthew's expression gradually became subtle.

Sif...

"Are you treating me purely as a private property?"

Deep down he felt an offended dissatisfaction.

But vaguely.

He became slightly interested in Sif, who had changed so drastically.

"Perhaps I am also a strong admirer at heart, and it is inevitable that I will be somewhat interested in powerful power..."

Matthew smiled bitterly in his heart.

If there is no way to remove this mark, then I will definitely lower my head when facing Sif in the future.

"The blood of Baator is indeed one of the most powerful sources of power in Purgatory. No wonder I couldn't resist her command spell just now."

Matthew had mixed emotions.

This power is indeed terrifying, no wonder Rhaegar is so anxious.

My well-behaved and gentle daughter is suddenly at risk of losing control, but she is still completely unable to control it. It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.

But for Matthew.

The biggest reminder to him from what he just encountered was——

"From now on, we must put those two divinities in a place where they can be obtained at any time!"

"If I had held those two pieces of divinity just now, Sif's command technique would definitely not have succeeded, and I wouldn't be as embarrassed as I am now."

Matthew scratched his head, suddenly not knowing what to do next.

According to the plan he originally discussed with Fei Liwen.

He planned to secretly escort Sif to the Far North Floating City, but now that something like this happened, Matthew suddenly felt embarrassed.

So he sat on the magic carpet.

I quickly picked up the pen and wrote two letters.

One of them was for Hibbert, and the other was for Feliwen.

There are even more words for Feliwen.

The main reason is that Matthew has also noticed that no matter what kind of help he entrusts Hibbert to do, it is probably Feliwen who will take action when the time comes.

Rather than this.

It's better to trouble Feliwen directly.

Hibbert, who was also in the province, relayed what was wrong.

The content of the letter is actually relatively simple.

I just briefly explained Sif's situation, and then hoped that Hibbert and Feliwen could find a good teacher for Sif.

As for the cost.

Matthew said that if they could find anything useful, just ask.

He will send it to them when the time comes.

certainly.

This money must have come from Rega.

Thinking of Rhaegar.

Matthew couldn't help but have a headache again.

But things must be done from beginning to end, and I have already agreed to it. Now that I have sent Sif away, I still have to explain something.

Half an hour later.

Lord's Mansion, Office Hall.

"So, you just let her go?"

Rhaegar jumped up from the sofa.

"if not?"

Matthew licked his injured lips unnaturally:

"You have to let her learn to be independent, right?"

Rhaegar clenched his hands into fists:

"Besides asking you to apologize to me, does she have nothing else to say to me?"

Matthew thought for a while:

"Sif is now like a child who has just entered the rebellious stage. She has great emotional ups and downs. She would rather keep many things in her heart than say them publicly. This is normal."

Said.

He licked his lips again.

Rhaegar frowned, then sighed deeply:

"But it always hurts my heart to let her go like this."

Matthew licked his lips for a third time.

no way.

A little pain.

It was purely an unconscious move.

He continued to comfort Rhaegar while licking:

"You have to let her go out and see the world. Maybe the real world is far less beautiful than she imagined. Maybe she can think of her father when she encounters difficulties?"

Hear this.

Rhaegar nodded slowly.

"You have a point."

But then he looked at Matthew with suspicious eyes:

"What happened to your lips?"

"Don't tell me that you fell off the magic carpet?"

Matthew instinctively wanted to hide it.

But then he thought about it.

Sif has changed so much. As Sif's father and her friend, Rhaegar seems to have the right to know all this.

So Matthew said calmly:

"Sif bit it."

Rhaegar was stunned for a moment.

Then without saying a word, he slipped into the back room.

Soon.

He came out angrily holding a big sword:

"You beast, you bullied my daughter!"

"I'll kill you...!"

Matthew was calm at first.

He threw a Hold Human spell at Rhaegar and explained:

"Calm down a little first..."

But the next second.

Rhaegar's body glowed red.

His eyes also burned with scarlet flames!

that moment.

He was exempted from Matthew's body-holding spell!

"etc!"

"You won't open your second form to kill me for this kind of thing, right?"

"Is this the resistance of devil blood?"

Matthew was stunned.

He quickly took a few steps back, opened a random door, and then instinctively fired a feint.

Taking advantage of the situation, Rhaegar, who was furious, was attracted by any door.

Matthew quickly distanced himself.

He threw a malicious transformation spell at Rhaegar who was madly venting his anger on any door!

fine!

Matthew's malicious transformation is still very good.

In the process, he was even forced to use the effect of spell upgrade.

Only then did Rhaegar successfully turn into a goat!

However, it is different from before.

Rhaegar, who turned into a goat, also did not lose his aggressiveness.

He held his sharp goat horns in silence.

Come straight to Matthew's lower body!

In a hurry.

Matthew couldn't dodge and was chased by Rega.

The desks in the office hall fell to the floor.

The vase and other objects were even broken into large pieces.

Mrs. Wesley, who heard the sound, popped her head out of the corridor:

"Boys, if you feel your energy is too high, go find the girls to vent your energy instead of fighting with each other..."

"Rhaega, do you think my work is too leisurely?"

But no one could answer her complaints.

this moment.

Rhaegar apparently vented his long-simmering frustration on Matthew.

A pair of huge goat horns topped wildly.

Matthew didn't spoil him either.

After being chased for a while, he simply transformed into a moon bear and slapped the goat to the ground!

The goat stood up and continued charging.

After being slapped against the wall by Matthew twice, the effect of the malicious transformation technique disappeared.

Rhaegar charged again with the great sword.

Matthew fought with him for several rounds and finally managed to subdue him.

By this time he was sweating profusely.

Rhaegar was also panting.

He was pinned to the ground by the huge bear's paws, and his eyes gradually regained their composure.

Matthew slowly let go of his hand.

He knew that Rhaegar actually just wanted to vent. If he really wanted to fight, his moon bear form should not be able to defeat the opponent.

But on the surface.

He still couldn't help but angrily said:

"Have you calmed down?"

"Can you listen to me explain the whole story?"

Rhaegar said nothing.

Matthew said slowly:

"Sif took the initiative and I was passive the whole time!"

"I'm the victim!"

Seeing Rhaegar's eyes widening.

Matthew pressed the bear's paw back again, and then continued:

"She seems to have changed into a different person. She is full of aggression and makes people feel very dangerous. I have no ability to fight back at all!"

"Although it sounds a bit false to say this, your daughter does have the strength to fight against a fifth-level mage now!"

"And you know me, I can't do anything to bully a little girl!"

The murderous intent in Rega's eyes gradually disappeared.

after a long time.

Only then did he forcefully push Matthew's paw away and sit down on the sofa again.

"So, she kissed you before parting?"

Rhaegar's voice was filled with despair.

Matthew corrected:

"It's a bite, not a kiss!"

"Well, it was a kiss for a moment, but most of the time it was just biting."

Rhaegar's eyelids jumped wildly, and his right hand involuntarily pressed on the big sword again.

Matthew quickly changed back to human form and showed his lower back to Rega:

"Look, she also left such a humiliating mark on me. This is all your daughter's fault!"

"I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

Rega's expression changed drastically when he saw this.

There was actually a trace of guilt in his eyes.

"This kind of branding is called the slave branding in purgatory."

"Generally speaking, only the lover or male slave of the Devil Queen is qualified to be marked with this kind of mark..."

"And once it's hit, you will never be able to escape her control for the rest of your life..."

"Sif, how did she become like this?"

Rhaegar put his head in his hands.

Matthew was quite calm.

He doesn't believe that a brand can do anything to him.

Now that he is a famous mage, how could he not escape the control of a little girl?

He said calmly:

"Sif is full of contradictions now, but at least we see the dark side hidden deep in her heart. She may hate this from the bottom of her heart, but she may also be vaguely looking forward to it, whether she is gentle and well-behaved or crazy. Wild and domineering, they are all part of Xifu.”

"I hope she can reconcile with herself soon, but it will take time, opportunity, and her own efforts."

"We have done everything we can. We don't require perfection in everything. Rhaegar, please look at it."

Rhaegar took a deep breath.

"I understand, I understand the truth."

Immediately he looked at Matthew:

"So, is this why you came to me specifically to talk about this?"

"To show off to a father that he was forced by his daughter?"

"uh-huh?"

Matthew shook his head:

"no."

As he spoke, he pointed to his lips and waist, and then said seriously:

"I just want to tell you that both of these are considered work-related injuries."

"You have to reimburse me."

Rhaegar's eyes widened in disbelief, and his trembling right hand pressed on the hilt of the great sword again.

Matthew laughed.

Escape.

On the way back to the cemetery, Matthew was still thinking about the look on Rhaegar's face.

no way.

Who said he was really bullied by Sif?

I couldn't find a place with my daughter.

She can only bully her father.

"Why does this plot sound so weird..."

Matthew laughed and shook his head.

After returning to the cemetery.

He ate something and meditated for a while before he had enough energy to continue exploring the realm.

After the fox pretended to be the tiger's power, he won the battle between gods.

Matthew was given a small portion of the breeding territory.

This realm gave him a new ability.

…

"Aura of exuberance: The fertility rate in your area will be significantly improved.

People will be more eager to reproduce, pregnancy rates from a single exchange of bodily fluids will be higher, and birth control measures will be three times more likely to fail.

Affected by the aura, the children you give birth to will be unable to help but become closer to you as they grow up.

They will at least become your advocates.

Some will sincerely want to recognize you as their godfather.

This will help increase your paternal authority.

But at the same time.

You may also be slightly affected by the aura yourself.

Warning: It has been detected that you own the moderation realm.

There is a slight conflict with the reproduction field. Please coordinate within three hundred and sixty days, otherwise you will lose at least one of the two major fields! "

…

How can I describe this exuberant halo?

Matthew felt he still had value.

In troubled times or when the population is insufficient, this halo will help increase the population in the territory.

Although it also has an impact on myself.

But the good news is that this halo can be turned on or off freely through authority.

"The current range of influence of the halo is an area within a radius of 100 kilometers. Rolling Stone Town seems to be quite short of population, so let's open it first..."

Matthew thought so and made a decision happily.

As for the conflict in the field, Matthew is not surprised.

The field of moderation itself conflicts with many fields.

Can serve as a bringer of balance.

If he can't settle this, then there is no need to consider entering several conflicting fields in the future.

Matthew was in no rush to coordinate the field.

Instead, continue to choose to open up the tauren field.

In the past.

What he chose was vertical development, that is, in-depth exploration of a single element.

But in this divine war, when he launched the war, he used the Tauren domain as his base and launched a declaration of domain expansion.

This way.

Matthew had no choice.

He can only expand horizontally.

…

"Tip: Your tauren domain has officially annexed the reproductive domain, and expanded the plunder elements horizontally!

The current tauren realm contains the following elements -

Reproduction (twisted)

Plunder (comprehensive)

Tauren (race)

Instigate rebellion (undead)

Others (temptation, degradation, seduction)

…

Your tauren domain gains broader definition, and you will have higher priority in determining the wider domain.

In the process of horizontal development.

You gain the new ability "Blade Seizing" from the Plunder element

Seize the Blade: You can use your hand, mage hand, or equalizer hand to perform a tactical action to seize the target's weapon.

Prerequisite: To use Seize Blade, your hands must be unequipped with any weapons, except for gloves.

Note: When the target launches a close-range attack with a weapon in hand, the success rate of seizing the blade will be increased to more than 95%!

The closer the distance, the higher the success rate!

It is detected that you have a similar ability in the field, "Lend it to me for fun!", do you want to choose ability fusion? "

…

Matthew thought for a moment.

In the end, fusion was not chosen.

These two abilities are indeed similar. They are both used against enemy weapons, but their uses are actually different.

Lend me to play requires you to prepare the same type of weapons in advance, which is more suitable for taking the initiative.

Seizing the Blade is different, it's more like a defensive counterattack ability.

The integration of domain capabilities is a serious matter.

If one is not integrated well, the respective characteristics of the two abilities may be lost.

Might as well keep it.

In this way, no matter what situation he encounters in the future, Matthew will have his own ability to deal with it.

In general.

The ability to seize the blade gives Matthew a more calm way to deal with melee professionals, especially assassins.

"I'm a mage, so it's normal for me to learn how to grab a white blade with my bare hands, right?"

When I think of that image.

Matthew couldn't help but look forward to it.

The opening up of the field ends here.

The next period of time.

Matthew first checked the development of the demiplane.

Not seen for a few days.

The demiplane changes little.

Matthew knew this was because he had entered a settling period.

The only thing that surprised him was.

Several wooden boxes appeared on the edge of the demiplane in a beach-like area.

These wooden boxes are old and new.

The oldest one has been corroded to a disgraceful state, and there are obvious signs of being soaked in sea water.

The newer one seems to have just been made, and the quality looks pretty good.

Matthew checked it out.

No matter whether the box was new or old, it was empty, which made him a little disappointed.

"These boxes should have accidentally arrived at the edge of my demiplane along with the turbulent flow of the plane. This situation is also normal. The planes are full of turbulent flow that comes and goes. Some of the things in the turbulent flow are... They come from collapsed demiplanes, and some are trash thrown away by incompetent mages, but most of the flotsam is worthless."

"With the continuous expansion of Ecosystem One, this kind of garbage may become more and more abundant. In the future, you may have to find someone dedicated to clean it up."

Matthew put the boxes away.

I chatted with the other nature spirits in the Holy Oak Seeds for a while.

Return to the cemetery.

He began to continue to improve his umbrella plan.

Matthew has not forgotten the agreement he made with Ai Lan in the Winter Moon.

The problem of traces of the dead in Jade Cangting is also very prominent.

This time.

Because he successfully wrote the domain contract.

Matthew plans to upgrade the original plan.

The protective umbrella he used in Rolling Stone——

In other words, the scorched earth of death filled with negative energy still has the risk of spreading.

But after Matthew’s research during this period.

He believes that this problem can be alleviated by planting a large number of black locust trees around the protective umbrella.

at the same time.

He plans to add tree walls and mushroom gardens around the new protective umbrella to significantly alleviate the spread of negative energy.

In this.

Matthew even plans to use the power of the Sac of Corruption.

This thing is a big sucker of negative energy and can effectively delay the automatic expansion of the scorched earth of death.

"After that, we will plant a large number of mushrooms in the mushroom garden, and we can even ask Hasman how to further balance..."

Swish swish swish.

Matthew's writing flew by.

He loved the feeling of making plans.

certainly.

Execution is also important.

Generally speaking, when Matthew is concentrating on something, others dare not disturb him.

But today is different.

Centaur Obest made a rare appearance in the cemetery.

As he advanced, he shouted:

"Master Matthew, Master Matthew!"

"We found a band of demons at the edge of the oak forest!"

Obest's voice startled Matthew.

He quickly put down his pen and activated the Oak Domain.

next moment.

Countless whispers poured into Matthew's ears.

His expression changed slightly.

Half a minute later.

Matthew appeared in the eastern part of the oak forest.

In the buffer zone between the oak forest and the farm area beyond.

Demons screamed and died on the ground.

When Matthew rushed over.

The last demon was having its neck snapped by a slow-moving shadow.

Matthew looked at the demon corpses lying on the ground with a surprised and heartbroken expression on his face.

But I saw the figure slowly turning around.

His face was covered with blood, and his expression was extremely tired.

His eyes were originally full of vigilance.

It wasn't until he saw Matthew that he suddenly relaxed and his eyes became red.

"Matthew, I finally got to you..."

His voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.

Matthew gritted his teeth.

He looked at the empty sleeve under the other person's right arm in disbelief:

"Who caused you to become like this?"

Hear this.

The man's eyes became even redder.

He turned around silently and struggled to pull out a small cart from the pile of demon corpses.

Lying on the cart were the bodies of seven Jango people.

The faces of these corpses were all young.

But the death was particularly tragic.

"I'm fine. Although I lost an arm, after all, I'm still alive."

There was a hint of crying in the voice of the future King of the Rainforest:

"But they, they can't survive..."

"it's all my fault!"

"I thought this was a very profitable business, so I called them out from the tribe. Who knew that I overestimated my own strength and underestimated the intensity of the war."

"They are all dead, they are all dead... I dare not go back to the tribe. I don't know how to communicate. I don't know how to face those women, children and old people."

"When we set out, I told them we were going to make a lot of money, but now..."

"I don't know, I don't know, Matthew!"

As he spoke, he sat down on the cart.

Lying with the corpses of those Jango people.

His body twitched and he sobbed softly.

Looking at the grief-stricken Lumiere.

Matthew slowly opens the healing aura of the oak field.

After a while.

Lumiere's sobs gradually became quieter.

Matthew asked softly:

"You took them to the Wild Wolf Mountain battlefield?"

"Did you hit that demon lord head-on?"

Lumiere did not answer.

Matthew leaned over to take a look.

The other party has fallen asleep.

Matthew sighed lightly, and immediately ordered many of his men to dispose of the corpses of the demons and move them away.

Then he turned into a moon bear himself, slowly picked up the sleeping Lumière, and walked step by step towards the oak forest with scattered sunshine and shadows.

…
