The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

"Growth fast?"

Matthew looked happy.

This is also the Druid's signature spell.

The "Growing Green Liquid" he used to plant trees before was the potion version of this spell.

Because it has been treated with chemicals.

So the effect will also be discounted.

If you can master this spell skillfully.

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

…

"Wild transformation and rapid growth are Druid's signatures. So, it seems that the rewards provided by the task 'Maintenance is also important' are all Druid abilities?"

"No, maybe it has nothing to do with the mission, but with the means to complete the mission - whether it's dealing with the arsonist or the deeper Scourge Cult, there will be bloodshed."

"So, the system reward mode is a reverse operation? Planting trees, a nature-loving and peaceful act, is given to the necromancy-type bone dragons, while for those involving killing and confrontation, the reward becomes the druid side. of?"

…

Matthew thought with interest.

The current sample size is too small to draw a conclusion.

But that didn't stop him from making bold assumptions.

He glanced at the bottom of the taskbar.

Tai Chi symbols have new changes——

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

It's not that far away from being full.

I just don’t know what will happen when it’s full.

It’s worth mentioning the right side.

The gray spots are still very light though.

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

Matthew has sharp eyes.

He could see gray points of light at the bottom trying to surge upward.

Whoosh!

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

…

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

Matthew guessed.

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

The operating mechanism behind it remains to be explored.

But not now.

Near the farm.

Someone has already discovered the disaster here.

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

Matthew led the team back to the oak forest.

He sent the skeletons back to their burrows.

Then he said to Peggy:

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

Peggy exclaimed:

"It's so dark and you want me to walk alone at night? People will be scared!"

Matthew coughed:

"Then I summon another skeleton to keep you company?"

Peggy said bitterly:

"I don't have to pay overtime and I still have to walk home by myself. The conscience of you necromancers is really corroded by negative energy!"

Matthew spread his hands:

"The time for counter-summoning has passed, and I'm not a very capable big shot. You have to be considerate of me, Paige."

Paige softened a little:

"Okay, okay, I'll go back alone, but next time I work night shift, you have to give me at least one "Soul Crystal". What you said when we signed the contract was just ridiculous..."

Send away the chattering tauren skeleton.

Matthew looked north.

The merchant ghost mentioned the chaos in Hag Po.

Combined with the content in the secret message.

Even if the Calamity Cult's stronghold is not within Hag Po Castle, it should be nearby.

Time is running out.

Matthew intends to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible.

So he jumped.

call!

A raven flitted across the moonlit branches.

Heading towards the northeast.

…

"The divination results are out. The enemy's location has been determined. It is in a valley near Ghost Po Castle."

In the Lord's Hall.

A heavily armed, middle-aged man with a thin face looked around calmly.

Some of the people present were stung by his burning gaze and moved their heads away unnaturally.

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

They longed for an opportunity to gain recognition from the Blood Banner Lord.

"Brad and Ann, you each lead a team of troops to outflank us from the southwest. You have to be fast, but also be careful of ambush!"

"Mr. Zeller, please continue to contact the senior mage in White Rock City or Rapids City. If there is anyone who is willing to help, no matter what the conditions, agree to him!"

"As I expected, our enemies are not robbers who are blinded by money at all, they are a group of lunatics, scum and cultists!

As I said before, the Blood Flag family will never compromise with such evil scum. Your mission is to kill every villain you see.

That's all. "

In the quiet hall.

The Blood Banner Lord’s voice was resounding.

Strict and tough orders were issued one after another.

Everyone who received a specific task was very happy.

But gradually.

There were also doubts on some people's faces.

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

An unusually handsome young man wearing a robe spoke up.

This also revealed the doubts of others present.

The Blood Banner family is indeed known for their tough attitude towards their enemies.

But now the question is.

The eldest lady is in the hands of these villains!

Follow the Blood Banner Lord's approach.

Sif's survival rate is probably appallingly low.

Everyone stared at the Blood Banner Lord in confusion.

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.

People in the Lord's Hall gradually dispersed.

at last.

The Blood Banner Lord was left alone.

He walked to a window.

Not long after.

An owl flew in.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand the men of your Blood Flag family. You are obviously worried about your daughter to death, but you still have to make decisions that may endanger her."

Owl spoke doubtfully.

The Blood Flag Lord took a deep breath:

"In front of everyone, my identity will always be that of the head of the Blood Flag family, nothing else.

Everything I say speaks for the family.

The Blood Flag family will never compromise with evil.

This is our motto. "

The owl became even more puzzled:

"Then why did you ask me to come here?"

Lord Blood Flag said:

"I knew you would turn into a giant eagle."

The owl nodded:

"yes."

"Take me to Hag Po Castle, and the favor you owed me will be wiped out."

The Blood Flag Lord said decisively.

The owl thought for a moment.

Nodding and saying:

"Can."

"But it seems that the head of the Blood Flag Family shouldn't put himself in danger."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Flag Lord tightened his grip on the sword at his waist:

"Now, I am Sif's father."

…

After one hour.

The raven flies over the barren mountains under the moonlit night.

Occasionally, there were one or two ghostly screams from the distance.

The Ghost Castle stands on the high point of the barren mountain.

The fog around it persists all year round.

Even if the moon is high tonight.

Matthew could only vaguely glimpse the outline of the castle.

Staring at the mountain mist.

He felt bad.

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

…

"It is said that before the castle was abandoned, it was the former residence of a human hero. It was once prosperous and noisy. Unfortunately, after a strange disaster, a large number of people living in the castle died. The survivors fled in a hurry, and no one Tell me what happened."

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

“The last time someone explored the castle, it was a well-known necromancer from White Rock City. He got the news from nowhere and publicly declared that the ‘Law of Immortality’ was hidden in the castle, and he insisted on entering it.

The last Necromancer was no exception.

When he was exploring the castle, he had a fierce battle with a group of monsters from the lower world called "Old Hags" outside the gate, so the castle was also called the "Ghost Castle". "

…

The words he had chatted with Brad were recalled in his mind.

Matthew suddenly had a shuddering feeling.

Perception told him.

This castle is not something that I can explore now.

Fortunately, his destination tonight is not in Hag Po.

Bypassed that weird fog.

The raven leaned westward.

Soon.

Sporadic firelight lit up halfway up the mountainside of the barren mountains ahead.

It was a valley with dangerous terrain.

The entrance to the valley is guarded.

However, the guard's attitude seemed rather casual.

Matthew naturally lowered his height.

I glanced at the taskbar by the way.

…

"The mission progress has been updated: You discovered the 'Warlock Camp'!"

…

Matthew flew in without haste.

The mission target is a warlock.

Perception is usually extremely high in this profession.

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

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

"There was a fight here, more than one."

The mountain road is littered with corpses.

There are humans.

There are also smaller humanoids.

——It's a "lizard monster"!

Matthew made his judgment based on the 'knowledge' he had.

"The wilderness is convenient. For necromancers, ownerless corpses are naturally inhabited by virtuous people..."

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

The sound of spells and Matthew's magic infused a mysterious color into the messy pile of corpses under the moonlit night.

Skeletons stood up from the pool of blood.

Their condition is very ordinary - the soul fire in their skulls is bright and dim, and the bones on their bodies are in pieces. 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 skeleton.

They are incomparable to the elite group that Matthew hid in the cellar.

But it's enough to scare the uninitiated.

…

Such obvious magic fluctuations as the summoning of the dead quickly attracted the attention of the direction of the camp.

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

He was covered in heavy armor.

There were two teams of people behind him holding a huge battle ax and a meteor hammer for him.

"Hey! Necromancer? What are you doing?"

The fat man looked at Matthew with fear.

Matthew is still minding his own business summoning skeletons:

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

The fat man said angrily:

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

Matthew said arrogantly:

"Not anymore."

boom!

The fat man stamped his feet angrily.

There was faint shaking on the already loose mountain road.

"You want to be my enemy?"

Matthew looked at the other party with a half-smile:

"Your body of fat can produce a lot of corpse oil, but I won't consider letting you become my slave, because your skeleton must have been excessively worn to support your body during your lifetime. I don't like defective products."

"kill him!"

Seeing that the fat man was about to take action.

Suddenly a majestic voice came from the camp:

"enough!"

The fat man was so angry that his whole body was shaking:

"Finn, you asked me to kill him! How dare he laugh at my figure! No one dares to do that!"

However, the minions beside him quickly dispersed.

A man in silver robes appeared in front of Matthew.

He looks to be in his thirties, blond and blue-eyed, with a decent appearance and a temperament that looks like a decent man.

"Tell me why you're here, Necromancer, otherwise don't blame us for taking action."

Finn looked at Matthew condescendingly.

"Are you Finn?"

Matthew was studying him too.

"I killed an arsonist and found this. I was somewhat interested in the cause you mentioned, so I found this place."

He threw the secret letter away.

Finn glanced at the secret message.

Suddenly he laughed:

"You killed my friend and you still dare to come to my door?"

His originally upright and upright face also became a bit demonic due to this smile.

"If that loser can be called your friend, then I will be disappointed."

Matthew said bluntly.

Fein laughed loudly after hearing this:

"He used to be, but not anymore."

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

"Come in first, my friend, as long as you are interested in the great cause of the Calamity Cult, then we will definitely get along well."

…

Thanks to the book friend [Earth's Evil Demon King] for the reward!
