A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 168

  Chapter 168 Spirit Touch Hall and Huang Yulong

  In the endless darkness, Matthew seemed to have turned into a flying insect.

  The world is made of black and white.

  Pieces of mottled tones gradually solidified, and he moved forward instinctively, but encountered one after another fork in the road.

  This place seems to be a maze.

  Matthew tried to look up, but could only see a short view.

  He couldn't even control his body, so he could only follow the weak air current.

   After a while.

   He stopped on a stone wall.

  In the maze not far away, there is a huge locust tree.

  On the branches of the locust tree.

   Sitting there are two guys wearing black cloaks and white masks, and their lower bodies are so empty that they are almost invisible.

  Matthew couldn't see any more details.

  But they can clearly hear the conversation between them.

  One of them said:

"The blood of the thousand changers is recovering, and the troll empire and barbarian tribes in the north are also rising again. Although evil dragons are difficult to achieve, the nutrients that are overturned in the ruins on the clouds are enough to breed more evil. The upcoming situation , I am afraid that it cannot be controlled by the Seven Saints Alliance."

  The voice of the other person is more immature:

   "What about the giant beasts? Isn't it said that they are also fast?"

  The older one said:

   "I heard that the giant beasts are not so fast. They will be changed after the odd number of days, but the odd number of days will still take time. The most important thing is to look at Ronan."

  The other person asked:

   "What's the situation with Ronan now?"

  An older answer:

   "I don't know. Before that, no one knew which force was responsible for Ronan, but the news from the Seven Saints Alliance seems to be that Isabel did it."

  Young man is amazed:

   "Why did Isabel attack her own students?"

  The elderly seem to be familiar with it:

   "I have said that it is just hearsay. The rumored news is not guaranteed to be false. Even if it is true, it is not uncommon. If a person who has been in a high position in the world for a long time cannot break through for a long time, he must be crazy.

  Isabel is probably the same as the Sun God back then. She has been a divine mage for too long, and has seen the power of a natural disaster mage, so she is naturally unwilling to be lonely.

  But no one can tell how to move towards natural disasters.

  The dilemma of the Seven Saints Alliance also lies in this.

  Their situation is actually the same as that group of poor people in Tianlun Palace. The difference is that the mages have not had time to grow to the top of the world, and they are going completely crazy one after another. "

  The young man clicked his tongue and said:

   "It seems that in the face of the changing situation of the next era, we have a great opportunity to touch the synagogue."

  The elderly proudly said:

   "Of course, the Spirit Touch Hall is the most powerful force in the Ravenloft Demon Territory. With Viscount Fan here, we are bound to unify the Demon Territory within a few years."

   "Fan Zijue summoned 10,000 night canopy ghosts, 3,000 vampires, and countless other creatures. He is the most powerful king of the demon realm!"

  The young man also raised his chest:

   "It's really an honor to think that we are also working under Fan Zijue! Hey, you say..."

  He didn't finish his sentence.

  An angry curse came from a distance:

   "You two little ghosts are being lazy again? Why don't you hurry up and deliver today's evening mail?"

   "If Fan Zijue's business is delayed, I will definitely beat you to death!"

  The two little ghosts disappeared from the locust tree immediately.

Soon after.

  Matthew saw a headless horseman driving a carriage descending from above the maze.

  He stayed on the locust tree for a while, and looked around vigilantly for a week. After a while, he turned towards the direction of the carriage and said respectfully:

   "Princess, please get out of the car."

  The car curtain was lifted by a white hand.

   Before Matthew could see the whole picture of the princess clearly, the headless horseman suddenly turned towards Matthew:

"who?"

   "A little bug?"

  In an instant.

  A powerful force hit Matthew's face.

  He only felt a pain in his forehead.

   There was a "huh" in my ear—it was a pretty female voice.

   Immediately after.

  His consciousness returned to the body.

   "Hint: You have set foot in the field of necrosis, and have heard information about the "Spirit Touch Hall" by accident.

   In return for stepping into the field, you will gain two of the following three abilities—

  1. Necrotic Fire: Designate one of your fingers as the transmitter of the Necrotic Fire, and then you can release a flame with Necrotic energy from the tip of the finger without singing.

  The flame can cause a large amount of magic damage in an instant, and within ten minutes thereafter, it will cause 2~3 points of necrotic damage per minute to the enemy.

  Remarks: There is no daily casting limit for Necrotic Fire, but when you cast it too many times, your finger may turn black and stiff.

  2. Intoxicating Whispers: You can whisper whispers to a target through the Necrotic Domain. If the opponent fails the save, he will enter a state of drunkenness.

  Drunken state will last for thirty minutes.

  3. Spell Cancellation: You can spend the same amount of mana to simultaneously cancel a spell that the target is casting.

  Note: The level of this spell cannot exceed one level of your own level.

  Available twice a day. "

   "The spirit touched the synagogue?"

   "It sounds like an organization from Ravenloft. Is their leader a Viscount named Fan? Is there a title in Ravenloft's social system, or is he a vampire?"

   "Furthermore, the materialization of the Necrotic Realm and the Tomb Realm are located within Ravenloft..."

  Matthew silently wrote down what he had just heard.

   Then he looked at the data bar.

   Today's luck is simply overwhelming.

   Not only has he entered the field in one fell swoop, but he has also gone deeper, gaining two abilities.

  Matthew pondered for a while, and chose one and three.

   "Fire of Necrosis" is a cost-effective offensive spell ability. Compared with the direct damage it can cause, Matthew pays more attention to the continuous life deduction brought about by necrotic damage.

   Although not much, it can also enrich his offensive strategy.

   "Spell Offset" Needless to say, although it is a little worse than counter and rebound, it is also a very good second-hand method, there is no reason not to win it.

   As for "Intoxicating Whispers".

  This ability is actually a bit interesting. Matthew learned from it that the field of necrosis seems to include elements such as "drunkness", "alcohol", and "sleep".

  This field is relatively unpopular.

   Correspondingly, when using abilities in unpopular fields, you can also reap more unexpected effects.

   In addition, exploring the Necrotic Field also brought Matthew a permanent status.

  「Necrotic resistance: Your body's resistance to necrotic damage is +10;

  Drunk resistance +5;

  Sleep Resistance +5」

  Matthew looked at the Necrotic Orb in his hand.

  The negative energy radiance on it has dimmed by about one-third.

  After tasting the sweetness, he changed his mind and planned to play with it often in the future.

  Matthew is not only going for the domain ability, he is more concerned that his consciousness can enter the Ravenloft Demon Realm relatively safely when exploring the domain.

   This time it was attached to a small bug. If it is attached to a creature with stronger mobility next time, maybe there will be more gains.

  When Matthew came back to his senses.

  Margaret was standing in front of him eating melon seeds, and the melon seed husks were scattered all over the ground:

   "This has comprehended a field?"

  Matthew nodded.

   "I really admire geniuses like you."

  Margaret made no secret of her envy:

  “At first I also thought that I was a genius, and I wanted to rely on my own strength to comprehend the field and ability, but later I realized that I was thinking too much.

  Some people can enter the field casually, no different from visiting a brothel;

  But I worked so hard, but I could only get halfway in, and I had to ask someone to help me push it.

  If it weren't for this, I wouldn't choose to start with a debt of two million. "

  Matthew coughed lightly:

   "Just luck today."

   "Just today?"

  Margaret knocked a few melon seeds hard, as if it was Matthew who was biting in her mouth:

   "Forget it, don't be envious, if you don't have some talent, how can you be attracted by Ms. Isabel?

  Let's go straight to the review session.

  First of all, I need to point out that in the stage where you and the old bone dragon are pulling, any door is an unnecessary link.

   What did you gain from any door?

No.

  You waste a shoe and a sock instead.

   This kind of provocation seems to me to be superfluous.

  You can just kill him. "

  Matthew nodded humbly:

   "That's right. But I have never used any door in actual combat, so I want to borrow him to practice my hand."

  Margaret rolled her eyes:

   "If this is the case, it is understandable, and I can't find much fault in other aspects.

   But I can recommend some spells to you. If you can master and use these spells proficiently, you will be more able to deal with the bone dragon just now.

   The first one is "flying". The importance of flying skills is unquestionable, low-level flying skills can be learned at the second level, but the effect is very poor.

  Intermediate flying technique requires level 3, and the effect is also mediocre.

   If your level will increase soon, then I suggest you learn "Isabel Flying Technique" directly after the fourth level.

  That kind of experience, after you try it, you will never forget it.

  The second one is a fourth-level spell called "Howl of Broken Bones". As long as you master the field related to undead, you should be able to learn it in advance.

   This spell is specially used against undead creatures of the skeleton type.

  If it is a full-effect Boneshattering Howl cast by a fifth-level mage, it can directly blast the bone dragon into pieces.

  Conversely, as a necromancer, if you rely on the combat power of the skeleton-type undead creatures under your command, then you have to find a way to enhance their resistance in this respect—

   Mainly the resistance to sound waves.

  The third is not a spell, but an ability called "Natural Casting".

   I see that you have the wild form of the Aeolian pterosaur, which is good.

  But when you use Death Shockwave, you must transform into a human form to get close to your opponent. There is actually a little safety hazard here.

  If you can use some spells in the form of Aeolus, then this problem will be solved.

  Naturecasting This ability allows you to cast spells while in wild form.

   But this ability is very rare, even my teacher can't buy it.

  You'll have to go to a veteran archdruid.

  In fact, there are many similar ideas. You can expand your thinking after class. I only provide a few suggestions here. "

  As soon as Matthew listened to the class, he felt something was wrong:

   "Is this the end of the practical class?"

   "The effects of the medicine on my body haven't worn off yet!"

  Margaret ate the last melon seed, and then said leisurely:

   "You see me kill an undead creature, I see you kill an undead creature, and then replay. The above is the whole content of this practical lesson."

   "If you feel that you have finally come to the negative energy plane and want to practice combat for a while, you can increase the clock."

  Matthew tentatively asked:

   "Coins or Points?"

   Margaret asked rhetorically:

   "Do you have gold coins?"

  Matthew was silent.

   "One point, three monsters, including replay and escort, the price is favorable, if you can add a few more hours at a stretch, I can even give you a discount."

  Margaret said with a smile:

   "Didn't the effect of the medicine wear off? As long as I can get five points, I can even go into battle and disperse it for you!"

  Matthew looked at her malicious smile and quickly refused.

   Now he is definitely not Margaret's opponent, but even if the two sides fight to the death, it will probably be a tie.

   After all, he has Isabel's patron saint on him, and 99% of Margaret also has Suriel's patron saint on him.

   Everyone is a student of the magician, let's just be teammates honestly!

  At the moment, Matthew expressed his willingness to add the clock.

  Knowledge points are not that precious to him, compared to Margaret's company and guidance are more important things.

  Matthew felt it when he was fighting the old bone dragon, as if a wonderful power was awakening in his body.

   I don't know if it's due to the effect of the medicine or due to chance.

  In short, today, he must not let Margaret go!

   "Very good, I like a motivated student like you!"

   "Come on, work hard, try to catch up with me as soon as possible, and then support me!"

  Margaret smiled lightly:

   "It's just a pity that there don't seem to be any particularly powerful monsters nearby for you to practice with. Those four guys are undead kings registered in the alliance. If they keep cowarding, it's not convenient for us to attack them."

   "I have to go farther and find you some comparable opponents."

  Matthew shook his head and said:

   "Don't worry, let's go to see the territory of the old bone dragon first, and then I have to help my pet be promoted to the king."

   "After that, let's go."

  Margaret looked at Matthew in surprise:

   "Didn't you say you can't hold it anymore?"

  Matthew honestly said:

   "It's true that I can't hold it anymore. I always want to find someone to fight, but when I think that there may be babies in the territory of the old bone dragon, this impulse is not so strong."

   "Cleaning up the loot is more important, and the fighting can be done later!"

  Led by the bone pigeon, they soon came to the territory of the old bone dragon, which was located at the foot of King King Mountain, a leeward basin.

   Unfortunately, everything here disappointed Matthew.

   Looking around, there is nothing in the basin except for some lowest-level undead creatures.

  Even in the shelter of the old bone dragon, on a hill full of glass shards and ashes, Matthew didn't find anything valuable.

   Except for a soft dragon scale.

  The dragon scale was casually thrown aside, and it was covered with a thick layer of dust. If it weren't for Matthew's sharp eyes, he would have almost missed it.

   This is obviously a dragon scale that has gone through a long period of time, and it may come from the corpse of an old bone dragon.

  Although the dragon scale has deteriorated, Matthew put it away and plans to study the related performance in detail in the future.

   While Matthew and his party were cleaning up the spoils of the old bone dragon.

  Xiao Bo also rushed over.

  He lowered his proud head and looked at Matthew expectantly.

   Matthew took advantage of the situation to fulfill his promise.

  He took out the bottle containing the remnants of the old bone dragon's soul fire, opened it up and let Xiaobo inhale it.

   But Xiao Bo is also very sensible.

   When only half of the suction was left, he stopped this action.

   Immediately after.

   A series of mutations began on his body.

  The color of the virtual dragon scale that was originally attached to the ribs became darker.

  Green green light spread out like water waves, growing rapidly like moss.

   Soon, the virtual dragon scales completely wrapped Xiao Bo's lower body.

   At the same time, long feathers grew on Xiao Bo's back. These feathers were yellowish-white, a bit like duck down but rougher to the touch.

  Matthew stood on Xiaobo's back, observing other changes in the bone dragon—

  The bones became firmer, a thin layer of blood film appeared on the chest, and feathers similar to duck down also grew outside the blood film.

  The head is also covered with more virtual dragon scales, and the originally empty eye sockets are covered by a white film.

  If it is said that before, Xiao Bo's soul fire could be seen through the eye sockets at a glance.

   Now, from the same angle, only a faint green light spot can be seen.

   And on the data bar.

  The change of Xiaobo is more intuitive—

  「Reminder: Your summoned Felorius has won the battle of kings!

  He has devoured enough soul fire remnants, and is completing the advancement of the king template...

  Philorius' level has been raised to LV18.

  Philorius' strength +1.

  Philorius gained two new abilities: "Lord of Six Rings" and "Shadow Field".

  Lord of the Six Rings: Philoreus has officially become the king of the Six Rings on the Negative Energy Plane, and is eligible to obtain a territory on King Mountain.

  He obtained a "Six Rings Emblem". When the energy on the emblem is full, he will have the opportunity to go to the Land of the Five Rings.

  Shadow Realm: Philoreus first entered the "Shadow Realm" (the junction of shadow and negative energy), and gained abilities such as "Shadow Stealth", "Shadow Summoning", and "Advanced Phantom"!

  Philorius is very grateful for your contribution in the battle of kings.

  His loyalty to you has increased to 105, and he has shared the ability "High Phantom" with you!

  Advanced Phantom (weakened version): You can summon a phantom exactly like yourself, which lasts for 30 minutes.

   During this period, you can control his actions with mental power.

   Phantoms cannot cause substantial damage and must stay within 100 meters of you.

  If you are attacked while the phantom is in effect, no matter how far the phantom is, he will instantly appear beside you to resist the attack for you.

  In the next three seconds, part of your body will be ghosted and get 30% damage reduction"

Well enough.

  Matthew took a look at Xiaobo's original high-level phantom, and found that his phantom can resist three damages, and the damage reduction after phantom is 60%.

  After becoming a king, Xiao Bo is even more majestic.

  His appearance has also taken a big step from the bone dragon to the ghost dragon.

  This is completely against common sense.

  You must know that ghost dragons can only be transformed from real dragons. How can a bone dragon advance into a ghost dragon?

  But the unbelievable things about Xiao Bo didn't stop there.

  Matthew noticed that the down on his back resembled the feathers that ancient dinosaur species had in the early stages of evolution.

   In particular, it is very similar to his Aeolian pterosaur feathers.

  If there is indeed some connection between the two.

  Then Xiaobo's improvement in strength and appearance change is more like an evolution than an upgrade.

   Margaret obviously saw this too.

  She stared fixedly at Philoreus, subconsciously bit her lips twice, and then asked Matthew:

   "Do you want to sell this skull dragon?"

  Matthew skillfully asked:

"Do you have money?"

  Margaret looked at him tearfully:

   "Don't be like this, this skull dragon is quite unique."

  Matthew was unmoved, and reminded:

   "We can get ready to go, and the rest of the things here can be handled by my pet."

  Margaret stomped her feet angrily:

   "Don't look down on people!"

   "When I pay off the money owed to my teacher and best friend, I'll buy your little chic and big chic!"

   "Don't laugh, when I have money, I will buy it with you!"

  Matthew looked weird and tried hard not to laugh out loud.

  Bone Pigeon looked at Margaret affectionately:

   "Ms. Margaret, I'm just waiting for you to redeem me!"

  Xiao Bo immediately looked at him suspiciously upon hearing this.

  The bone pigeon is not afraid at all:

   "What's the matter, Xiaobo? Why are your eyes full of doubts?"

   "Didn't you hear that the master's master and Ms. Margaret are going to hunt down other monsters? Hurry up and present something good, so as not to delay their trip!"

  Xiao Bo immediately shook his head like a rattle, expressing that he didn't have any good things.

  Bone Pigeon hated iron but said:

   "Isn't there a holy spring of immortality in my own territory?

   Quickly dig out all of them and send them over!

  You are now a king, and with these two escorts in the future, are you afraid that you will lack the holy spring of immortality?

  Other undead who want to send them off have no way like you! "

   "Don't stare at me!"

   "Let me tell you, your military adviser, I plan to resign, and I will only hang out with the master's master in the future."

   "Also, don't call me Bone Pigeon from now on, just call me Little Chic!"

   As he spoke, he walked past Philorees arrogantly.

   Come to Matthew and Margaret.

  Bone Pigeon nodded and bowed:

   "Second adults, I know what monster lairs are nearby, and I can show you the way!"

  Margaret rolled her eyes:

   "Didn't it say that there is a holy spring of immortality?"

  Matthew took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the bone pigeon, with an itchy hand:

   "Stop talking nonsense, lead the way, I can't hold it anymore!"

  The three gradually went away.

   Soon, Xiao Bo's deep gratitude came from the necromantic contract.

   Three days later.

  The edge of the land of six rings.

  In a dark cave.

  Accompanied by a mournful howl, Matthew's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave not long after.

  Margaret followed behind him, cracking seeds while repeating:

   "You can be faster and more resolute when using the magic ineffective enchantment!"

   "It was very good in the past few times, but why is it so slow when facing the nesting banshee this time? Could it be that the banshee looks more to your liking, and you can't bear it?"

   "Should I say it or not, the banshee's lair is still quite fishy..."

  Matthew ignored the invalid information in her words.

   Instead, he carefully analyzed the battle just now:

   "When I was leaning close to her, I did eat the positive charm of the banshee. I was successfully immune to the charm, but for some reason, my thinking still lagged behind at that moment."

   "This is definitely not because of the banshee's appearance or figure."

   "I seem to be generating something in my mind. This kind of thing should be related to the battles of the past few days."

  Margaret rolled her eyes and showed a clear expression:

   "Don't think too much, continue to find monsters to fight one-on-one, and you will find the answer soon."

   "Chic, who's in line behind the Nest Banshee?"

  "Dear Ms. Margaret, in the past few days, the Great Master has successively killed the skeleton giant in the valley, the rotten earth spirit in the dead forest, the great corpse in the rotten lake, and the nesting banshee in the crypt.

   He killed all the enemies with a little weight in the Six Rings.

   If we want to continue looking for our opponents, the shortest way is to pass through a long and narrow corridor, the end of which is the coastline of the Sixth Ring Road.

  There is a place called "Between Planes". "

   Bone Pigeon replied respectfully.

  Between planes?

  Matthew and Margaret looked at each other, and both of them showed joyful expressions.

  The so-called between planes refers to the place where two planes meet, and a unique space is often formed here.

  The planes are not stable, but compared to other places, there are often greater opportunities.

  The Negative Energy Plane is located in the inner layer, and there is a high probability that it borders the Elemental Plane.

  If you are lucky, this trip to Matthew will not only be a great success in actual combat training, but also have the opportunity to harvest treasures from the elemental plane.

  The two immediately let the bone pigeon lead the way.

   But it wasn't long after I walked out of the cave.

  Suddenly a gust of wind blew up in the sky.

   The wind is obviously abnormal.

   It hurts to scratch on a living person, and the bone pigeon was almost blown away!

   Fortunately, Margaret had quick eyes and quick hands, and stuffed him directly into her clothes.

   This made Bone Pigeon a little dizzy.

   "The wind is very strange, it doesn't look like a normal positive wind or a new wind, let's step back a little."

   Margaret prompted.

  The two of them hid in the cave.

  The tranquility here is in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

   "The wind won't stop for a while."

  Margaret took out a tent from the storage props, quickly set it up with spells, and then got in by herself, leaving only a pair of shoes outside the tent.

   "The longer our body stays in the negative energy plane, the more severe the erosion will be. This tent can effectively purify the effect of erosion. Do you want to use it with me?"

  Margaret poked her head out from inside and looked at Matthew expectantly.

   Matthew just moved his butt, wanting to go in, but the next second, he stopped at the door of the tent.

  He asked alertly:

   "Is there a fee?"

  Margaret giggled and said:

   "Benefit 100 gold once."

   "You don't even want to give me a hundred gold, do you? This tent is narrow and warm inside, very comfortable!"

   "If you don't come in, your body will be eroded by negative energy, and you may need to spend more on treatment in the future!"

  Matthew sighed:

   "100 gold is a huge amount of money for me now, thank you for the invitation, but there is no need."

  Margaret changed her face and said:

   "Stingy! See how you solve the problem of negative energy erosion."

  Matthew shrugged, he took a half step back, and used Necromorph to become a bouncing dwarf skeleton.

   Margaret was so angry that her teeth itched, she threw the bone pigeon out, and then slammed the tent tightly.

   Only bone pigeons and dwarf skeletons were left staring in the hole.

  It took about three minutes to touch it.

  Matthew suddenly heard a change in the wind outside.

  He came to the entrance of the cave to observe the situation.

suddenly.

  A trembling whistling sound came from the sky.

   Immediately after.

  A dark cloud covering the sky and the sun passed over the cave.

  Matthew saw a huge monster!

  「Warning: You have encountered a Topaz Dragon (Great Dragon/LV22)!

  You have entered Topaz Dragon's realm of decay! "
