A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 136

  Chapter 136 Domain: Transformation! (seeking a monthly ticket)

  It was almost four o'clock in the morning, and there were already people shouting for fresh vegetables in the produce street behind the post house.

   It is obviously not the same thing that everyone is staring at the street.

  So at the suggestion of Zeller, who was driven out after hearing the news, a group of people came to the office hall of the Lord's Mansion.

  Based on Matthew's understanding of Zeller, this arrangement is probably waiting for the negotiation of the matter here, and it can seamlessly connect to the morning meeting for a while.

  He was so sleepy that he yawned violently, but in this situation, Mrs. Wesley, who was hurriedly woken up, could only order a few more cups of coffee.

  In the office lobby.

  The atmosphere is a bit subtle.

  The Big Three in Rolling Stone Town each performed their duties, and Lorraine sat in the guest seat generously.

  Richard, leaning on the cane, was the only one not seated, claiming he preferred to stand.

  The confrontation between the two legends couldn't be more obvious.

  But Rhaegar and others are obviously happy to see it happen.

  Matthew knew that the appearance of Lorraine was still a bit of pressure for them. Without Richard, they might be at a disadvantage before the negotiation started.

   But even Richard, Rhaegar can't control him at ordinary times. This elderly gentleman seems to only care about the work in the five-member committee.

  Of course, he didn't do little to catch thieves on weekdays.

  Matthew suspects that the law and order in Rolling Stone Town is so good, besides himself, Richard also contributed.

   The silence was broken by Lorraine first.

  He smiled and looked at the others:

   "Don't look at me like a poisonous snake, Matthew and I are very good friends, and after fighting side by side last night, I thought I was already half of my own. "

   Everyone looked at Matthew with consulting eyes.

  Matthew nodded slightly, and then he asked Lorraine:

   "Do you still need to play Ms. Aliena next?"

   "It's not really necessary, the assassin of the "Death Sect" has been arrested, and Aliena's side has probably launched an operation against the situation in Deep Blue Harbor, so my performance should be able to come to an end. "

   Lorraine explained:

   "Death Cult is one of the more active criminal organizations on the east coast. They are also very interested in Rolling Stone Town. I came here to warn you, but since there is a silver snake, everything is unnecessary."

   As he spoke, he couldn't help complaining:

   "Matthew, you should have told me that there is a silver snake, so I don't have to be so nervous.

   After all, Silver Snake is a legendary profession of rogues, and its biggest feature is that it is good at targeting its own people—I mean rogues in the field.

   After all, wanderers are all little mice, and what Silver Snake is best at is eating mice.

  Where there are silver snakes living, thieves within a hundred miles are extinct. Am I right? "

   As he spoke, he glanced at Richard provocatively.

  Richard had a calm expression, and he said calmly:

   "Coincidentally, I also know some abilities of the Twilight Singers. I heard that they can draw strength from the destruction and loneliness of grand events.

  Wherever bad things happen, you will rush there. Although the bad things are not caused by you, no one welcomes your arrival.

  So in the Age of Enlightenment, the gods called you crows.

   And I have a more sinister conjecture, since you can draw strength from destruction, why don't you create destruction yourself, you say? "

  Lorland showed a frightened expression:

   "Snakes are indeed the most vicious of life, opening their mouths is slander.

  It is true that I can draw strength from the destruction and ending of big people, big organizations, and even the world, but the core element of a chant is to observe, chant, but never participate.

   If you're going to accuse me of bringing disaster on Rolling Stones, I'm dead wrong.

   But I can understand, after all, the brain capacity of snakes is generally not large. "

  Richard sneered and said:

   "But your demigod domain is deceit and performance. Even if I suspect that these drows are also directed and acted by you, it's not too much!"

  Lorland showed no sign of weakness:

   "Really? Do you think you have the value of being cheated? Acting is also very labor-intensive. I don't think you are qualified to be my audience and be cheated by me."

   "You two, don't get angry."

   Zeller took the initiative to act as a peacemaker:

   "I would like to believe that Mr. Lorraine has no ill intentions towards Rolling Stone Town. If it weren't for Mr. Richard, the information he brought is very likely to come in handy."

   "I just received a secret message from the frontline scouts + at about three o'clock in the morning, the army displayed on the border of the South Trading Station in Hongtu Mountain withdrew."

   "This is most likely due to the arrest of the drow assassins. There are about 300 people in that army. If they really attack the South Trading Post, we may suffer certain losses."

   As he spoke, he unfolded the note in his hand.

  Matthew noticed that when Zeller entered the office hall with him, he did not have this note in his hand.

   It seems that there is a secret communication method between Zeller and the scouts under him, and the timeliness is quite high.

   "More than three hundred people! So many?"

  Rega was surprised.

   Zeller nodded solemnly.

   Regarding the current situation in the south of Aindor, an army of 300 people, if well equipped and morale is good, is a force that cannot be ignored.

  The real elite of Rolling Stone Town is only about 40 members of the lord's guard, plus at most the same number of garrison members, the total is less than 100 people.

   Others, like the squires of the lord's guard, numbered one hundred and seventy;

  The militiamen in each village together have more than a hundred people.

  Considering that the permanent population of Rolling Stone Town is between 6,000 and 8,000, including the border villages, it can barely exceed 10,000.

  Without considering the factors of the purgatory portal, about 1,000 people is a threshold for a regular army increase.

   It's not that it's unaffordable to go further up, but it will be very difficult.

  The size of Hongtu Mountain is three to five times that of Rolling Stone Town, and the same is true for its affluence.

  Combined with the previous intelligence, their main force is attacking the Gaoye collar and sweeping the golden fertile fields, and only a quarter of the people threatening the South Trading Station are at most.

  Looking at it this way, the new lord of Hongtu Mountain organized a regular army of more than 1,200 people in a very short period of time.

   This is not an easy task.

   It can be seen from this that even if an army from Hongtu Mountain is scared off this time, there will still be many hidden dangers in the follow-up.

"The war potential of Hongtu Mountain is terrible. The fall of Golden Fertile Field will lead to a sharp rise in grain prices in the south this year. If Gaoyeling is also occupied by them, the economy of Rolling Stone Town will be severely affected. Of course, the more important Or is it their own threat to us, even with the deterrence of legendary mages, they may still test us from time to time, which is very troublesome."

   Zeller concluded solemnly.

  The other three also looked stern.

   Only Lorraine still looks calm:

   "An army of three hundred mortals? It's nothing more than chickens and dogs. I can drive them all away by myself!"

  Richard asks:

   "By mouth?"

   Lorraine shrugged:

   "Occasionally you have to use your hands."

  Rega asked in doubt:

   "If your Excellency is really that powerful, why didn't you just pacify Deep Blue Harbor for Aliena?"

  Lorland answered as it should:

   "I'm just her cousin, not her father, and I have no obligation to settle everything for her.

After entering the legend, you will understand that in addition to many necessary entanglements, the less mortal things touch the better, it will distract you and become your drag, and I personally hate fighting, That's not elegant at all. I prefer clapping and singing to fighting.

   Speaking of which, I almost forgot, I am here to negotiate with you on Aliena's behalf! "

   Zeller and Rhaegar exchanged glances:

   "Tell me about your conditions?"

   Lorraine immediately began to talk endlessly.

   After Zeller finished listening, he replied three or four sentences cautiously.

   Lorraine gave another long speech.

  Zeller replied a lot more this time, but most of the content was vague and ambiguous.

that's all.

  The two of you come and go, with a lot of tongues.

  Don't talk about Matthew.

  Richard and Rhaegar also couldn't get in a word.

  The two big men's verbal swords are naturally nothing to watch.

  Matthew stretched his waist and quietly came to his office.

  He believes that the two of them can negotiate a good result.

  So decided to take advantage of this time to continue learning spells.

  Recently, Ma Xiuxiu is learning two spells, namely the "mind-taking gaze" in the realm of necromancy, and the "petrification" in the realm of transformation.

  The former Matthew mastered it very smoothly.

   Sitting on a soft chair, he crushed a squirrel's spleen. In the next second, his eyes seemed to turn into two terrifying black holes.

  「Hint: You have used the spell "Mind-taking Gaze".

Eye-catching gaze: During the effective time of the spell (60 seconds), your eyes will become hollows full of terrifying power. You can designate a unit within 18 meters that touches your gaze to make a perception judgment. Those who fail the save, You can force him into one of three outcomes—

  1. Slumber: The target falls into a comatose slumber until he is damaged or shaken violently by another creature.

  2. Fear: The target falls into uncontrollable fear, he will lose part of his sanity, and run wildly away from you. The fear effect doesn't wear off until it's out of your line of sight.

  3. Illness: The target is in a state of weakness like an illness, and all action checks will suffer severe penalties.

  In the diseased state, the target will make an additional perception judgment every 60 seconds. Once the save is successful, the diseased state can be removed. "

   This is a powerful single-target field control spell, mainly used to deal with rushing units.

   But Matthew feels that he has become a wilderness form, and it is not bad to rush to the enemy to have a seductive gaze.

  After a period of practice, Matthew has been able to calmly control the switch of the eyes.

   It's hard to find the spell-casting materials for this thing, you have to use a squirrel's spleen. The only good news is that a piece of spleen can be used repeatedly.

   In comparison, the study of petrification was not very smooth.

  But Matthew didn't care.

  He is now confident in the spells of the Transfiguration Domain—

   Not to have confidence in myself, but to have confidence in Rhaegar!

  At that moment, he took out a piece of meat and tried to petrify it.

  After several failures, he calmly glanced outside, and found that Zeller and Lorraine were still arguing, and Rhaegar was listening on the surface, but was actually drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

  So he raised the volume:

   "Regar? Can you come in?"

  Rega said without raising his head:

   "Add money."

  Matthew thought for a while:

   "It's about Sif, I want to talk to you."

  Rega immediately put down the newspaper and rushed to Matthew's office.

   "What happened to you guys last night?"

  He fixed his eyes on Matthew, as long as Matthew gave a wrong answer, he might have to go back to his room to get the big sword.

   "No, I just noticed that Sif has been yawning, has she slept a lot recently?"

   Matthew asked.

  Rega breathed a sigh of relief:

   "I thought it was something! It's the influence of family blood, so it's not a big problem."

  Matthew asked curiously:

   "Is she going to awaken the ability related to purgatory? That's why you don't let Sif touch spells?"

   Rhaegar nodded:

"For members of the Blood Banner family, it is harmful to take the initiative to learn spells. The power of the upper devil flows in our blood, and as long as the time comes, this power will automatically awaken. In a sense, We are no different from warlocks."

"I see."

  Matthew nodded reassuringly, and then skillfully took five gold coins on the table.

   "Here you are, let me practice a spell."

A few minutes later.

  Ms. Wesley came in from the corridor with a broom in hand. She came to Matthew's office and looked at the stone statue in the middle of the room in surprise:

   "My God, is this the statue you carved for Rhaegar? It's really lifelike."

   As she spoke, she patted the stone statue's face lightly, and pulled the stone statue's ears vigorously.

   Before Matthew could speak, she hurried out:

   "Don't move the stone statue away, I'll ask Sif to come and watch the fun!"

   Upon hearing this, Matthew quickly canceled the petrification technique, and said:

   "If the case is solved, I will say that Sif was not arranged by me."

  Rega touched his red ears and said angrily:

   "I knew it was her who did it. This old woman is really disgusting. I have to get rid of her!"

   Matthew already heard cocoons in his ears.

  He asked:

   "When will you quit?"

   Rhaegar said categorically:

"Next Mon!"

   "Let her get another week's pay."

"the last week!"

  When Matthew left the Lord's Mansion, the battle between Zeller and Lorraine hadn't come to an end.

   Matthew can't get in on this matter.

  He was anxious to go back to plant trees and repair graves, and finally asked for leave in advance and left.

   Walking on the way to the oak forest.

  Matthew shuddered suddenly:

   "I just said, it seems that something has been forgotten!"

   "Eli!"

   One thought of this.

  He quickly walked back in the direction of the official post house.

   When arriving at the gate of the post house.

  A strange force poured into Matthew's body.

  He stopped involuntarily.

  「Hint: Comprehending the mysteries of the field of transformation many times has allowed you to accumulate a large number of relevant elements. You have successfully set foot in the subfield of "magic" "transformation" and completed a short stay in it!

   In return for getting involved in the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities—

  1. Material-free spellcasting (when you cast spells related to the transformation domain below legendary, you will not need any casting materials; materials above legendary are halved)

  2. Two-stage Transformation (Your malicious transformation has been strengthened, after turning a target into a sheep, you can apply two-stage transformation to it.

  In the state of the second-stage transformation into a sheep, the target will change back to the state of the first-stage sheep after receiving the first over-limit damage.

   Only after receiving over-limit damage again will it completely return to its original form.

  In addition, in the state of transformation into a sheep at the second stage, the damage suffered by the target will be proportionally fed back to the entity after its transformation.

  Remarks: The difficulty coefficient of changing sheep in the second stage is about three times that of the first stage)

  3. True Transfiguration (Stone): You can transform yourself into a real stone and get the same experience as the stone.”

   "Material Free Casting" is really delicious.

  But Matthew chose "Second Stage Transformation" without hesitation.

  This ability is too perverted.

  Under normal circumstances, the damage suffered in the state of sheep transformation has nothing to do with the target body, but the second stage of sheep transformation is different.

  The fact that light can cause damage to the enemy is enough for Matthew to make a choice.

   Not to mention that the second-stage transformation of sheep can also play a lot of tricks.

   As for "True Transformation".

   This thing is also very powerful, it will give a person the ability to completely change into another form.

  The druid's wilderness form can only be said to greatly simulate the animal form, and there is still a certain distance from the real deformation.

   It's a pity that it turned into a stone.

   Matthew is not Lorraine, and he has no plan to develop with the beauty of the stone element, so he can only give up.

   "Unfortunately there is no status reward."

  Matthew noticed that the breakthrough rewards in small fields are relatively average, which may also be related to his own breakthrough method.

  When he entered the oak tree or the undead, he had the experience of consciousness leaving the body.

   But Temperance, Tauren, and Transfiguration are not available.

   Correspondingly, the rewards are much less.

  Matthew's eyes shifted from the harvest of the deformation field.

  He looked at the gate of the official post house, and instinctively wanted to go inside, but at this moment, an owl flew over.

  Matthew took a silver envelope from the owl.

   After disassembly.

   Inside is a text message.

  「Dear Lord Matthew:

  Your application for the crash course in combat spells has been passed. The training method is 1V1, and the trainer is Ms. Margaret with the A1 title.

  At present, Ms. Margaret is free enough. If you are free in the near future, please go to the alliance office to contact her as soon as possible.

  The specific contact information is as follows...」

   The combat spell course that Matthew has been looking forward to is finally here!

  He hesitated no longer.

   striding towards the direction of the crucible house.

   For ordinary mages, the Crucible Room is only open at a quarter past four.

   But he is A1.

  You can go if you want.

   "It seems that something has been forgotten."

   "Forget it, we'll talk about it when we get back from seeing that Ms. Margaret!"

   Matthew's back gradually disappeared at the gate of the post house.

   And in the glass window of a dressing room in the second hall.

  A little black cat is staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds outside.

at the same time.

  On a street of agricultural products not far from him.

  A woman dressed as a peasant woman quietly put down the white cat in her arms under a corner:

   "Go, Choka."

   "I feel Eli's weakness and confusion, this is the best time for you to take advantage of it."

   "Don't let mother down."

  The white cat crawled a few steps on the dirty ground.

  She turned her head and forgot to glance at the peasant woman, quickly jumped a few times on the edge of the wall, and disappeared behind the high wall smoothly.
