A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 102

  Chapter 102 Retaliatory Tree Planting!

  Although he remembered all the rumors about Howard circulating in the town, Matthew still shook hands with him.

  Rumours, they can't be completely taken seriously.

  The two then chatted politely for a few words.

   It's just that Howard looked worried, and kept looking out of the carriage window, so Matthew stopped talking.

   Twenty minutes later.

  The carriage successfully arrived at the "South Trading Station" located in the south of Rolling Stone Town, bordering the two territories of Golden Fertile Field and Gaoyeling.

  Howard thanked a few words and got out of the car.

  He wanted to pay the fare, but Matthew refused, and then gave the driver a few loose coins, and hurriedly walked towards the inside of the trading station.

  South Trading Post is a large market built on the plain.

  It provides a resting place for merchants and travelers traveling from north to south, and is also compatible with the function of the wholesale market. You can get a lot of food, textiles, handmade crops, and some gadgets here at a lower price.

   There are also some sheds built on the north side of the trading post, where there are many small workshops transferred from Rolling Stone Town.

   Matthew wanted to lead Laila to the trading post for a walk.

   But Laila said she had her own way of spotting.

   Matthew let her go alone.

  Since entering Rolling Stone Town, Laila has wrapped herself up in thick robes, covering any areas involving black skin, and only revealing the severely albino areas.

   It made her look weird.

   But at least it keeps people from associating her with the evil subterranean drow.

   About half an hour passed.

   Lyra is back.

  So the carriage bypassed the trading post and continued northward.

  In the carriage.

   Matthew asked:

"How about it?"

  Leila said calmly:

   "I basically understand everything."

  Matthew asked again:

   "Is there any news worth noting?"

  Laila thought for a while:

   "There are two messages, the first one is related to the passenger just now.

  The reason why he looks so anxious is because the workers in the textile workshop under his name are on strike.

  The reason is said to be related to haunting. There are several stall owners who sell goods in the trading station are discussing this matter, and they are also discussing whether to close their business for a few days to avoid bad luck. "

   Haunted?

   Matthew didn't pay much attention:

   "What about the second one?"

  Leila said:

   "Several merchants from the south are discussing the coup in Hongtu Mountain, which is what happened in the territory we passed yesterday.

   There are rumors that the son of the lord of Hongtu Mountain killed his father and became the new lord.

   On the first day he became a lord, he announced that he would increase taxes on incoming caravans.

   Not only that, he also set up a special patrol team to catch smugglers.

  Although the specific decree has not yet been issued, businessmen have confirmed this from multiple channels.

  The convoys entering and leaving Hongtu Mountain have sped up their operations in the past few days. They are worried about this, and they are worried that the move of Hongtu Mountain will affect the flow of people at the South Trading Station. "

   Speaking of which.

   She added:

   "However, these have little to do with us. No one dares to provoke you, and the tax checkpoints in Hongtu Mountain can't be collected from me. At worst, I walk the mountain road, and they can't catch me."

  Matthew nodded.

  Hongtu Mountain is the only way for Rolling Stone Town to develop trade in the south.

  The main reason is that the "Shadi River" that traverses east and west in its territory is really delicious.

  The non-stop carrying capacity of the Shadi River throughout the year has attracted countless cargo flows, and Hongtu Mountain has thus prospered.

  There is a large cargo flow.

   Naturally, there are many smugglers.

   Even Matthew, who has been planting trees in Rolling Stone Town, has heard about the rampant smuggling in Hongtu Mountain.

   Now that a new lord has come to power, it seems that there is no problem in wanting to increase taxes and crackdowns.

  So he opened the car window to blow some air, cleared his mind, and changed to a book to read carefully.

  The time in the carriage was long.

  Although the South Trading Station is located in Rolling Stone Town, the area of ​​Rolling Stone Town is about 17,000 square kilometers, equivalent to a city in Matthew's previous life.

   Another full two hours passed.

  The scenery outside the car window gradually became familiar.

  The carriage drove all the way into the town.

  Matthew didn't go home immediately, but went to the Lord's Mansion to report on his duties.

  The result surprised him.

  In the administrative hall of the Lord's Mansion today, Zeller, who has always been known as a workaholic, was not there. Only Rega was sitting there drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

  After hearing that Matthew was going back to work.

  Rega put down his coffee cup and raised his eyebrows:

   "Are you sure you won't take a two-month break?"

  Matthew smiled:

   "Enough rest in the carriage."

  Rega pursed his lips, stood up reluctantly, led him to a small room next door, and introduced:

   "This is the office that Zeller arranged for you. He hopes that you can come and sit more when you are free."

   "Ni's office is very close to me. This is also Zeller's arrangement. He hopes that the two of us can exchange more feelings. Of course, this is his wishful thinking. Except for official matters, I will not exchange any feelings with you."

   Matthew asked:

   "What about the Oak Chamber of Commerce?"

  Regar rightly said:

   "That's another matter. As one of the shareholders, of course I will also care about the development of the Oak Chamber of Commerce."

   said.

  He pointed to an old lady who just passed by the corridor and introduced:

   "This is Mrs. Wesley. Usually you can call her to do any chores, but remember to speak louder. She is deaf and can't hear very well."

   "Just remember it... Forget it, there is no need to remember it too clearly, because I will fire her next week."

   "Don't look at her looking old, her new boyfriend is only 34 years old."

   Immediately, Mrs. Wesley cursed from the other end of the corridor:

   "Accumulate points, Rega! Isn't it because the coffee poured for you in the morning didn't filter clean?"

   "You are fifty years old, don't be so narrow-minded!"

  Rega suddenly jumped and said:

   "Are you admitting it? Is that not filtered? It tastes like I'm drinking a cup of boiling slush!"

   "Look, when I talked to her in the morning, she just pretended not to hear!"

   "In the future, if Mrs. Wesley ignores you, just remember to say a few bad things about her."

  After a round of face-to-face instruction.

  Rega stretched his waist:

   "That's all, you can get used to it yourself, if you have other questions, don't ask me, I'm very busy."

   As he spoke, he walked outside.

  Matthew joked:

   "Busy reading the newspaper?"

  Rega turned around and corrected seriously:

   "No, it's time for a more important nap."

  It was already afternoon when I came out of the Lord's Mansion.

  The carriage drove into the mage area and stopped slowly.

  Matthew jumped out of the car.

Laila followed closely behind carrying the luggage—the biggest luggage was three body bags, which Matthew bought from White Rock City before departure, each body bag could hold 8 corpses, and they could be transported in a short period of time. Quality and freshness inside.

  The treasures in the body bag are Matthew's biggest gain from this trip to the south besides the part-time job, advanced and plague fields.

  Matthew just opened the door.

   Peggy rushed out of the house.

  She looked at Matthew in surprise and gave him a warm hug.

   "Okay, Paige, okay, your breastbone is hitting my head."

  Feeling Peggy's joy up close, Matthew was very moved, but a little helpless.

  The tauren skeleton is too tall and powerful.

  Holding her own master in her arms is like a little bird.

   "Oh, Matthew, glad to see you alive!"

   "A lot of things happened after you left, I have to talk to you in detail, but before that, I have to tell you a secret, hehehe, you must not guess it."

  Peggy said proudly.

  Matthew looked up and asked:

   "Are you upgraded?"

   Peggy's swaying soul fire stopped shaking immediately:

"How did you know?"

   Matthew shrugged.

  Peggy still wanted to ask more questions, but at this time, Laila had already followed in with three body bags on her shoulders.

   "Matthew, you can't bring back a woman once you go out. You know, the number of women in our family has exceeded the standard!"

   Seeing Lyla, Paige quickly raised her voice, looking wary.

  When did Matthew Xindao have a number of women in his family?

  He introduced himself:

   "This is Lila, and she's going to work for me. Lila, this is Paige, well, Paige means me in most cases."

   Lyra looked a little embarrassed.

  At first, her eyes were full of surprise when she saw Peggy, but she was relieved when she thought of Matthew's identity later.

  At this moment, facing Peggy's condescending gaze, she put down the body bag and greeted with a low eyebrow:

   "Good afternoon, Mrs. Paige."

   As soon as this remark came out.

  Peggy was elated immediately. She threw away the vigilance and rejection just now, took Lila's little hand and walked into the room:

   "Oh, don't call me Mrs., we are all friends, I will show you around."

   Only Matthew was left alone, looking at the heavy body bag on the ground, lost in thought.

  A long while.

  He shouted helplessly:

   "Bing, work."

   Go into the house.

   A familiar and warm feeling came over me.

  Matthew slumped on the sofa regardless of his image.

   Huge exhaustion welled up in my heart, and my eyelids began to fight crazily.

  Matthew fell asleep without resistance.

   Until half an hour later.

  He was awakened by Peggy's vigorous shaking:

   "Pay attention to your image, Matthew, stop drooling! Get up and eat."

  Matthew rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the dining table.

  I found that in addition to Peggy's freshly cooked meals, there were some strange dark dishes beside them, which looked like a mixture of mushrooms and fish heads.

  So he asked curiously:

"what are these?"

  Peggy replied:

   "This is the invention of Sif and I, a soup that can quickly upgrade the undead."

  Matthew said in surprise:

   "There is such an effect?"

  Peggy said proudly:

   "Otherwise, how do you think I upgraded? It can't be because of you! I haven't upgraded since I followed you!"

   Matthew, who was enjoying the food, almost choked when he heard this sentence.

  Considering that there is Leila next to him, Peggy must take care of face, so he changed the subject and said:

   "Will Sif come here often after I leave?"

  Peggy nodded and said:

   "Here most of the time."

  Matthew frowned:

   "She probably thinks this is her home."

  Peggy said confidently:

   "I let her call this home."

   said.

  She looked at Lyra with regretful eyes:

   "Sorry, this family already has a hostess, and there are more than one."

  Laila hurriedly argued:

   "I'm just a follower of Master Matthew."

   "Really? Are you good at fighting?"

  Peggy came to the interest.

  Laila said in embarrassment:

   "Not very powerful."

  Peggy probably just entered the advanced stage, and her self-confidence was a little inflated. If she insisted on pulling Laila, she would have to fight outside.

   Matthew didn't care about her, but just buried himself in hard work.

   Fortunately, Laila is very measured.

  She repeatedly shirked, excused that she was tired from the journey and lacked energy, and finally dispelled Peggy's idea of ​​being competitive.

  Here are two women at the table, back and forth.

   Matthew over there has wiped out a good dinner fast.

   "Enough, Paige, this is the best meal I've ever had."

  Matthew first offered a few sincere compliments.

  Then said to Lila:

   "You stay at home for a few days first, and learn about the situation in Rolling Stone Town with Peggy, and then I will make other arrangements for you. Relax, Rolling Stone Town is not an underdark area, and it is safe enough here."

  After saying this, Matthew excitedly ran to the east greenhouse.

   After a while, Laila saw him carrying a few sacks and going out with a shovel.

   "Where is Master Matthew going so late? Don't you want to rest?"

   Lyra couldn't help asking.

   "Addicted."

   Peggy commented.

"ah?"

   Lyra was taken aback.

   "Tree Addiction."

  Peggy spread her hands.

   Three days later, at noon.

  Matthew is lying relaxed in the shade of an oak tree.

  He is tired and content at the same time.

  He looked towards the north, and there was a touch of bold greenness on the previously endless land.

   This is the result of his crazy tree planting these days.

   Three and a half days.

  100 freshly baked tall oak trees.

  It not only represents 1000 points of XP, but also symbolizes Matthew's hard work and path.

   "It's a pity that the green growth liquid is used up, and the daily limit for planting trees is locked here."

  Matthew stretched.

   Start thinking about how to further improve efficiency.

  If you want oak saplings to survive quickly, you need "Growing Green Liquid" or "Spell: Fast Growth".

  The former Matthew is out of stock.

  The latter can be used up to 10 times per day.

  Matthew has the oak tree field, which can forcefully break through the 10-time limit, and use it several times a day.

  Adding the additional effects of the domain itself, it was barely possible to achieve 100 trees in 3 and a half days.

   may want to go further.

   You have to break through the limit of "rapid growth".

   "That Jeff guy hasn't shown up yet."

   "It's really impossible to go to Watcher's Heights in person. I now have two transformations of Raven and Fengshen Pterosaur. Even if I encounter danger on the road, I should be able to deal with it calmly."

  Matthew thought lazily.

  But at this moment, domain symbols suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

  Matthew was surprised to find that the "Undead", who had been leading by a large margin, was still standing still.

   And the field of "Oak Tree" was completed for the second time!

   Next second.

   A strange fluctuation surged.

  He came to that strange forest again!

   It's just that Matthew stayed in the field for a shorter time this time.

  He just saw countless birds flying by in a canopy of trees.

   Then, that annoying eagle-faced man appeared.

  He said to Matthew coldly:

   "It's too early for you here."

   said.

  He kicked Matthew.

  Matthew fell backward involuntarily.

  「Reminder: Plant 100 oak trees in 3 and a half days, your outbreak and persistence will gain more oak tree elements, and you will get a second chance to enter the "Oak Tree Domain"!

   Since this exploration is not in-depth, unfortunately, you have not been able to obtain more domain abilities.

  Currently, your exploration progress on the oak field is: Getting started (more than 2 times)

  You got a temporary status: planting trees with revenge!

   Description: During the duration of the state, you can get 1 point of strengthening experience for every oak tree you plant;

  Every 15 points of strengthening experience can strengthen your summoned "Zombie/Silver Moon Zombie" once!

  Duration: 30 days」

   Matthew jumped up from the ground with a jolt!
