A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 116

  Chapter 116 Philoreus applies for battle! (Ask for a monthly pass!)

  Matthew raised his head unnaturally:

   "I don't have a girlfriend yet, as for the second question, can I not answer?"

  Isabelle said grimly:

"Can't!"

  Matthew said in amazement:

   "Why do you ask me to answer this kind of question?"

  Isabel looked a little impatient, and there was a trace of contempt in her eyes:

   "Because I want to evaluate your desires, people who lack desires often do not succeed."

   "For all male humanoids, self-defense is the simplest and most intuitive indicator for judging. According to historical experience, people who have less than three times a day have basically no possibility of success, because they are too easy to be satisfied with the status quo."

   "Whether you are a mage or a mortal, you can only keep moving forward if you are always hungry and thirsty. Desire is the most powerful weapon bestowed by God on human beings. Do you understand now?"

  Matthew was silent for a while, then bit the bullet and replied:

   "I learned about the field of temperance a long time ago, so I'm afraid this theory doesn't apply to me."

  Isabelle looked down upon him contemptuously:

   "Peacock even knows that a bright **** attracts the opposite sex, but you are always evasive. Unfortunately, your rating in my heart has been lowered again."

   Matthew was speechless.

  Isabel quickly said:

   "Based on the domain you have mastered, I will give you three suggestions, whether you accept it or not is up to you—

  First, abstinence is meaningless if it is not for better catharsis.

Second, stay away from nature. This distance is not to let you stay away from it completely, but to be careful not to be assimilated by it. Nature is one of the most terrifying fields. It looks gentle, but in fact it hides murderous intentions. It is related to nature in history. Many of the gods did not end well.

  Third, the road of the Sioux people is doomed to be rough. If you insist on going, it is not impossible, but before entering the legend, you have to explore at least six or more fields to the entry level.

  Remember, the situation where there are only two forces in stalemate is not called balance. The real balance must be between all things and transcend all things. "

   Matthew was stunned when he heard this.

  He savored every word Isabel said carefully.

   But the instructor's pace was too fast. Before Matthew came back to his senses, she hurriedly urged:

   "Bring up your detailed plan for dealing with the Scar of the Dead, and I'll help you take a look."

  Matthew quickly handed over a more detailed action plan.

  Isabel stretched out a small hand, and with a single move, the information penetrated time and space and reached her palm.

   After a few seconds.

   She frowned:

"That's it?"

   "Boring, not as good as Mordenkain's scalpel!"

"Forget it, at your current level, it's a miracle that you can think of such a method. How about it, you go buy an memory crystal and record the whole process of the ceremony. I'll check it after I'm done. Now I'm going to sleep, you let's go."

   As she spoke, she stood up, and her view was drawn to the bed on one side.

   She looked back at Matthew as she walked:

   "Are you still leaving? Do you want to watch me sleep?"

  Matthew looked at the small mountain-sized heart in the room with some helplessness.

  How do I take this thing away?

   didn't wait for Matthew to ask.

   All the pictures about Isabel disappeared, and a white-robed mage came through the portal on the other side of the small black room.

   "Let me help you, kid."

  The white-robed mage slightly tapped his index finger, and the huge devil's heart shrank sharply, becoming only the size of a tennis ball, and the tubular section on the heart no longer bleeds.

  The white-robed mage took out a large piece of maltose-like thing from his pocket, and he pasted the "maltose" on the heart, which was completely wrapped.

   "Here, it will be convenient to save."

  The white-robed mage introduced himself with a smile:

   "My name is Eckmonde, you should have heard of my name."

  「Reminder: Ekmond used a hundredfold reduction technique on the demon lord's heart!

  Ekmond used the shaping amber to seal the spirituality and mana of the demon lord's heart!

  You have obtained an extremely precious abyssal relic (devil heart). "

  Matthew's heart was pounding. Although he was a country mage, he also knew that this heart was truly priceless, and he might be able to buy the entire Rolling Stone Town!

  Even the shaping amber used by Ekmond to seal the heart is an extremely precious high-grade magic material.

  This unprecedented sense of luxury made his hands tremble slightly.

   "Be careful, kid."

  Ekmond laughed softly:

   "It is indeed very precious, but since the teacher gave it to you, it shows that in her mind, you are much more important than these, and you should be proud."

  Matthew looked at Ekmond gratefully:

   "Thank you, Master Mage."

  Of course he knew Ekmond's name. In the league, the top figure was none other than the Seven Saints at that time—the Big Three of Babel + Guardian of the Four.

   In addition to these seven big brothers, the one who symbolizes the highest level of strength and honor is the white-robed mage recognized by the alliance headquarters in the extreme north floating city.

  Ekmond is the leader of the white-robed mage, a figure who is under seven in the alliance and above ten thousand.

  Because he is generally responsible for managing the mages of all alliances, he is also called "Mage Master".

  Ekmond said to Matthew gently:

  “You are young, you are very talented, and being a teacher's student is your opportunity, but it is also a challenge.

   But you don't need to be nervous. Many people in the league have experienced this kind of challenge. I, Ronan, have doubted myself under the high-pressure teaching method of the instructor.

  But until the end you will find that the study plan she arranged for you and the suggestions she made for your personal situation are flawless.

  Ms. Isabel is not only the most powerful mage in the alliance, but also the only super genius who is proficient in all fields.

  Being her student is equivalent to getting the legendary ticket in advance. This is one of the reasons why I arranged A1 for you. Ronan arranged B1 for you, ha ha.

   But having said that, Lady Isabel's current mental state is not very stable.

  When you communicate with her, try not to stimulate her, and don't be too submissive.

  The kind about teaching, you have to listen to her all;

  In addition to teaching, you have to listen selectively.

   Especially her weird "world is dead" theory, you better go in one ear and out the other, or you might drive yourself crazy.

  I'm not kidding, you gotta pay attention to this, Matthew. "

   When it comes to the back.

  Ekmond's eyes were extremely serious.

  Matthew nodded lightly:

   "I actually don't understand that theory at all."

  Ekmond smiled dumbly:

   "But you will understand one day. Don't make the same mistakes as Blinken. He is also a genius, but he just went astray."

  Matthew curiously said:

   "Is Blinken's rebellion related to Teacher Isabel?"

  Ekmond shook his head:

   "There is no connection on the surface, but I can't say exactly."

  His eyes flickered:

"In short, you have to pay attention to her mental state at all times. If one day you feel that something is wrong with her, please report to me at any time—you should keep this bell well. If the teacher's state is not right, you can use it to contact me immediately, don't Hesitating, not delaying, is equally important to her treatment."

   As he spoke, he handed over a silver bell.

  Matthew thought about it, but didn't take over:

"The contact between me and the teacher should have happened in this small black room. You watched the whole process, right? If there is any problem, I can call your name directly in the room, and there is no need to use such troublesome things as bells." .”

  Ekmond was stunned for a moment, then put the bell away, and said with a smile:

   "Yeah, yeah."

  Matthew was about to leave the small black room, but before that, he asked Ekmond another question:

   "Why does the teacher have mental problems?"

   Eckmond sighed and said:

   "No one knows the answer to this matter, but I guess it may have something to do with the Scourge Mage.

  Master is the one who has been with the Scourge mage the longest and has the closest relationship among the living mages in the Alliance.

  Before the natural disasters came, the Seven Saints Alliance took shape. At that time, the teacher was the most powerful mage in the alliance.

  After the natural disaster, she became the second.

   This may be an unacceptable blow to her.

  Especially after this, she found that she was still unable to break through the upper limit of the divine mage, let alone come and go freely in various universes like the Scourge mage.

   So her spirit quickly collapsed.

   You must have heard of what happened later.

  I can only say that every mage in the alliance should pray that the teacher's mental state can always remain stable.

  Only in this way can the world be peaceful in Aindor. "

  Ekmond's statement seems to be fine.

   But Matthew sounded a little harsh.

  He didn't continue to ask. After saying goodbye to Ekmond, Matthew strode out of the small black room.

  When he returned to the front desk, 177 had disappeared.

   After saying hello to David, Matthew went to the alliance's shopping mall on the 15th floor alone.

According to David, the prices here are much cheaper than those in the Crucible House official mall. Of course, the prices on the surface are similar, but that is because of the mandatory requirements of Crucible House. In fact, the prices here are all available through "Negotiation" and "bargaining" to obtain substantial discounts.

   Matthew walked around the 15th floor for two hours and chatted with a few shop assistants for a while, and he had a rough idea.

   But he didn't buy anything.

   Instead, he stepped on the magic elevator to the 16th floor.

  He doesn't have any magic items that he needs to buy urgently, and he doesn't have a lot of money. He only has a lot of knowledge points. Therefore, the "Isabel Laboratory" on the 16th floor is Matthew's real destination.

   Isabelle Lab.

   is the name of the institution that the alliance's self-developed spell library is open to the public.

  Here not only provides the latest spell research data query and purchase, but also has registration channels for various spell training courses.

  Matthew got off the elevator, and what he saw was an oval building. The shell of the building looked like a huge dinosaur egg, and the pattern on the ceiling was endless ouroboros.

  He walked into the laboratory, and immediately a female mage greeted him enthusiastically.

   Judging from the badge on her chest, she should be a staff member of the laboratory.

   "Hello, are you here to buy spells?"

  The female mage smiled sweetly:

   "My name is Susan, I guess you must have just registered today? You look young after all."

  Matthew smiled back:

   "Yes, my name is Matthew."

   "Then you must be a prospective graduate of the Southern Art Institute!"

  Susan smiled more cordially:

   "I also graduated from there, so I can be regarded as your senior sister!"

  Matthew nodded in embarrassment.

   "Don't be nervous, I was at a loss when I came here for the first time, come with me."

  Susan seemed really enthusiastic.

  She led Matthew to a service counter, pointed to the magic blackboard behind and said:

  "The knowledge points required to redeem a popular spell will be randomly displayed there. If you want to know the price of each spell in detail, you have to go to the counter and ask the all-knowing Scroll Dragon.

  These little dragons are not bad tempered, but they are greedy for money.

  Everyone has only one chance to consult the Scroll Dragon for free every day.

  So if what you want to consult is a hot issue, it is best to communicate with other people in advance, so as to save the number of consultations as much as possible. "

   Under the introduction of Susan.

  Matthew noticed the little dragons with pince-nez and blue scales sitting behind the counter.

  They are the "Book Dragons" who live by absorbing knowledge elements.

  Scroll Dragon is a kind of fairy dragon, a hybrid of real dragon and goblin. They have all the characteristics of a real dragon except their size, but in terms of personality, Scroll Dragon is closer to a goblin.

   In most cases, scroll dragons are very quiet, but once in contact with people, they will show the stubborn nature inherited from the goblins.

"Thanks."

   Facing Susan's enthusiastic explanation, Matthew is still very grateful.

   "If you just completed the pre-registration, you only have 1 pre-allocated point in your license, right? This is very important, and you can't spend it indiscriminately."

  Susan said seriously:

   "My suggestion is to buy spells from the "Get Rich Quick" series! "

  Matthew curiously said:

   "Get rich quick?"

  Susan introduced with a smile:

  "This is a general term for spells with high economic benefits after learning, the most famous of which is "Dragon Root Sword Oil Making Technique". "

  Matthew asked inexplicably:

   "Since it is that kind of effect, why is it called sword oil?"

  Susan said generously:

   "In order to take care of the privacy of customers, of course we have to give a confusing name!

   And it was indeed a kind of sword oil in the first place, but someone later discovered that it was not very effective as a sword oil, but it can shine in other fields.

  I strongly recommend that you learn this, the most lacking thing for a mage during his apprenticeship is economy.

  Don't be too arrogant, spend a few months to make a batch of such props and sell them before you have the confidence to think about what to do next—

   Don't worry about sales either, sword oil is a very popular magic item, and the main buyers are dignitaries and lords in various territories, they need this very much.

   In the market, this kind of sword oil has been in short supply for a long time. "

   After listening.

  Matthew finally realized:

   "I said why Lei Jia refused to sell it, so he bought it back!"

at the same time.

  He also silently regarded Susan as a shopping guide for his own spells.

  So Matthew said:

   "Sorry, I don't want to learn this, I'm here to learn combat spells."

  Susan was surprised:

   "Battle spells? That can't be bought with 1 point."

  Matthew said euphemistically:

   "I have more than one knowledge point."

  Susan rolled her eyes:

   "Is it a gift from your parents?"

   Matthew is vague:

"Roughly the same."

  Susan said enviously:

"Lucky you!"

   "If what you want to learn is combat spells, I'll just take you to the counter to apply."

   After finishing speaking, she led Matthew to an official counter.

   "Right here, Henry, show me the price list of combat spells and the recent classes you can enroll in."

   After speaking, Susan smiled and waved to Matthew.

   "Then, see you next time!"

  She turned around full of energy and left, and took the initiative to greet the next mage who came out of the elevator.

   "Susan just loves the work of volunteering. She is so enthusiastic about everyone. I hope you don't misunderstand."

  Behind the counter, the male mage named Henry made no secret of his hostility.

  He threw a thin booklet on the counter:

   "Look at the price list yourself."

   Matthew doesn't care about him.

  He opened the booklet and studied it for a while, then said:

   "I want to sign up for a crash course in combat magic, 1-on-1 series, the instructor requires A1 or above, here, this is the package."

  Henry froze for a moment when he heard the words, then sneered and said:

   "Although combat spells are very important, the content taught by instructors above C1 is enough. Even if you have too many knowledge points to spend, there is no need to waste them like this, right?"

   Matthew explained:

  "I'm afraid that the trainers below A1 will be burdened when they guide me 1-on-1."

  Henry looked at Matthew inexplicably.

  Until Matthew handed over the spell license.

  His complexion changed drastically!

   "AAAAA...A1?"

   "Ten thousand points?"

  Henry asked stammeringly.

  Matthew asked calmly:

   "Can you sign up for me? I'm in a hurry."

   "Yes! Of course!"

  Henry suddenly woke up like a dream.

  He quickly completed a series of procedures, and then returned the license to Matthew:

   "It's done! Just wait for the instructor to contact you."

  Matthew looked down and saw that 12 points were deducted, equivalent to the results of 12 C1-level subjects, and it was indeed not cheap.

  He just wanted to leave.

  Henry suddenly stammered and asked:

   "Excuse me, can you shake my hand?"

   "This is the first time I've encountered a living A1."

  Matthew said briskly:

"sure."

  He stretched out his hand and shook it lightly. Henry's palm was cold and sweaty.

  Matthew wiped it on the counter calmly.

   Then left silently.

   Only Henry was left standing in front of the counter with a red face.

   After a while.

  Susan, who was done with her work, came over, and she looked at Henry strangely:

   "What's your expression!?"

  Henry said excitedly:

   "I met a very young A1 adult!"

   "He has 10,000 points in his license!"

  Susan was taken aback, and then said angrily:

   "Why didn't you call me? Hey, it's all my fault. I just went to greet another junior."

   "By the way, what does that A1 look like?"

  Henry swallowed a mouthful of saliva:

   "It's the one you just brought over."

  Susan's eyes widened:

   "Didn't he say that he just registered today... Just registered is A1?!"

  She couldn't believe it.

  Henry didn't answer her.

  He just raised his right hand unnaturally.

  Susan sensed this.

  She asked strangely:

   "What are you doing with your right hand?"

  Henry raised his right hand when he heard the words, and grinned:

   "This is the hand I shook with A1."

   "Hey, Susan, I'm not even going to wash my hands this year!"

   Two days later, south of the Scar of the Dead.

   Near the experimental field, there were many people.

   While preparing for the forbidden ceremony, Matthew took the time to complain to Rhaegar:

   "Aren't there too many people watching?"

  He put the most precious boundary stone in the center.

  Rega looked back and took more than 20 knights, more than a dozen defenders, Zeller, Brad, Richard, and even Li Weiqi, who went to Gaoyeling for fun, was called back!

   In addition, there are two strange knights, a man and a woman. Matthew can feel that their strength is very strong, and they are not inferior to Li Weiqi.

  Rega said that these two are the two of the nine knights who once followed him through purgatory. The male is Asma, and the female is Dulin.

   Their attitude towards Matthew was not very friendly, but with Rhaegar present, they didn't speak during the whole process, but just stood aside seriously.

   "You have to understand me, Matthew."

  Regar rarely has a hippie smiley face:

   "It's too close to Rolling Stone Town, I don't want any mistakes, and I can't afford any mistakes. Your ceremony needs to communicate with the negative energy plane, and you understand the risks involved."

  Matthew rolled his eyes helplessly, then nodded to express his understanding.

  The scorched earth of death does need to absorb negative energy from the negative energy plane. During this process, if one is unlucky enough to be discovered by a powerful undead creature, there is indeed the possibility of encountering an uninvited guest.

  At the moment, he motioned for everyone to be quiet, and he picked up a thin chapter of the undead and began to sing a long song.

  The Chapter of the Undead refers to the spell book that records the rituals of the undead.

  In order to save costs, Matthew used the blank spell book presented by the alliance, and he also wrote the content of the ceremony himself.

  The advantage of doing this is not only saving money, but also that Matthew can guarantee that he knows this Chapter of the Undead like the back of his hand.

  The disadvantage is that, because there is no standardized spell book as a support, Matthew must be meticulous when performing the ceremony, and any mistake may lead to the wastage of previous efforts.

  At this moment, Matthew's spirit is highly concentrated.

  He forgot all eyes, just chanted selflessly.

  The death scorched earth ceremony has four sections. Even if the venue and the materials required for the ceremony are arranged in advance, it will take 20 minutes to sing alone.

  But for some reason, Matthew's chanting became faster and faster, and he entered a posture of selflessness.

   After a few seconds.

  His soul seemed to have left his body.

  An unprecedented experience grew in his heart.

   That moment.

  Matthew seemed to be integrated into the gleaming boundary stone in the ceremony, and then stepped into the negative energy plane in one step!

over there.

  He saw a scene similar to the one before.

  The hazy sky, the endless potholes, the endless earth, and the miserable full moon hanging above the earth.

   Matthew just took a few steps.

  A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

   That's a Darth Vader!

   Matthew's heart tightened.

  Because he noticed the eyes of the black warrior, it was a kind of undisguised malice!

as expected.

   A few seconds later, the black warrior rushed towards him with heavy steps!

  A sense of crisis welled up in Matthew's heart.

  He is now in a state between the spirit body and the substance, and most of his abilities cannot be used.

  He glanced at the data bar, and found that the only thing that was effective was the summoning of the dead.

  Facing the menacing Darth Vader.

  Matthew didn't dare to neglect.

  He intends to summon a bone dragon to bear the opponent's attack.

  He quickly assessed the combat effectiveness of the Black Warrior, and after realizing that the opponent was only LV13, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief and decided to summon the Nameless Bone Dragon.

   But at this time.

   A strong sense of longing surged into his heart.

  Through the undead contract.

  Matthew seemed to feel that a lonely soul was acting like a baby and asking for help.

  「Reminder: The accumulation of elements is complete, and you have entered the subfield of "death" "undead"!

  You enter a fugue state.

  You were attacked by a black warrior while traveling in the negative energy plane.

  Your summoned Philoreius has applied for battle! "

   They all volunteered, and Matthew naturally couldn't bear to refuse.

   Next second.

  He chose to agree.

  A huge halo formed between him and Darth Vader.

   The first time the aperture appears.

  The black warrior stopped.

  What surprised Matthew was.

   What appeared in front of him was not one bone dragon, but three!

  The front end is naturally Xiaobo.

  This meeting he was much stronger than last time, and his bones all exuded a silver-white brilliance.

  His size has grown a lot, and the soul fire in his pupils has also grown stronger.

   What surprised Matthew the most was that a layer of translucent and semi-green dragon scales appeared on the surface of Philoreus' bones!

   That's a sign of template evolution!

   "I haven't seen you for a while, but you have secretly upgraded to level 16?"

  Matthew looked at Philoreus in surprise.

  Data bar.

  「Historical Records: Through your unremitting efforts, your summoned object, Philoreus, has raised its level to LV16!

  Philorius has defeated Skeletron!

  Philorius and the Banshee Queen have been entangled for seven days and seven nights, regardless of the outcome!

  Philorius has found the holy spring of the undead, and his strength has greatly increased!

  After a series of hard struggles, Philoreus has a territory belonging to him in the negative energy plane, and has accepted a bone dragon (LV14) as his vassal.

  During this period, your other summoned bone dragon (nameless) was also controlled by Philoreus to his territory under the influence of the contract.

  Now Philoreus is leading two bone dragons and thousands of ashes and skeleton soldiers at the same time, and has the most basic qualifications to become the king of bone dragons!

  Your summoner Philoreus is grateful for your permission this time, and he shared with you his hidden ability: Struggle quietly.

  Striving quietly (nerfed): When you work hard in the dead of night and unknown, you will get a higher concentration bonus and a longer-lasting work ethic than usual. "

   Good guy.

   Matthew didn't expect Xiao Bo to be such a hard-working bone dragon!

   This time.

   Completely disrupted his plan to cut wages!

   "He just scared me."

   Matthew pointed to the black warrior and said.

  Philorius suddenly raised his head and roared, raised his feet and rushed forward, and the two bone dragon brothers behind him followed suit.

  The Darth Vader glared at Matthew.

   Then run away.

  (end of this chapter)
