A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 221

Chapter 221 The Land of the Sun and the Art of Retarded Mentality

Peggy looked at the tauren spirit hesitantly:

"you know me?"

Sanger said while wiping away tears:

“I am Sanger, the fastest Sanger, don't you remember me?”

Peggy looked confused.

Sanger was silent for a while, seeming to realize something.

 He looked at Matthew with complicated eyes:

 “Are you a necromancer?”

 “It was you who gave the high priest new life?”

 Matthew shook his head.

He knew that Peggy must have a big background. As a war angel under the sun god, she must have been related to the fate of many people.

 It's just that the fall of the sun **** was already a legend two eras ago.

The gods who besieged the Sun God have now been banished by the Scourge Mage.

 Things on this land have long been changed beyond recognition.

 He thought it would be difficult to find anything related to Peggy's previous life.

I didn't expect that there are still living beings in the underworld who know Peggy.

“Before she met me, Paige had awakened to her sense of self as a minotaur skeleton.”

Matthew introduced briefly.

Hearing this, Sanger's eyes showed the spark of hope again:

“Then it's still possible that you're not dead, right?”

 “It just continues life in this form...”

Peggy seemed a little uncomfortable with the earnestness in Sanger's eyes.

She subconsciously took half a step back, but there was still traces of curiosity in her soul fire:

“What does the high priest you are talking about do?”

 “What do I have to do with you?”

 “Where are you from?”

Sanger said quickly:

“You are the most outstanding warrior among the tauren tribe of Tianqing Prairie. Because you were selected by the great Sun God, you eventually entered the Sun God Palace and became an angel.

At that time, the world of heaven and earth were not as distinct as they are now. Gods and angels often walked on the earth, so you spent most of your time on the Tianqing Grassland.

You are the most prestigious being on the grassland. You spread the knowledge obtained from the Sun God day and night. All the tauren tribes on the grassland are singing praises to you and the Sun God.

At that time I was just an inconspicuous little character, but because I ran relatively fast, I became the fastest tauren on the grassland for three consecutive years, so I was recommended to you.

At that time, you planned to promote me to the position of messenger in the Sun God Palace. However, before this matter could be arranged, turmoil broke out in the Sun God Palace.

At that time, there were actually unstable factors on the grassland. You told us that you were going to the heaven to assist the Sun God in quelling the war. If something went wrong on the Tianqing Grassland during this period, let us go to the underworld to find the God of Death for help.

 After saying this, you left.

Not long after you left, our tribe was attacked by the "Dark Side" army, and many tauren died on the grassland.

I remembered your teachings, took your token and ran as fast as I could, and finally succeeded in running to the underworld.

 But Death does not want to see me.

He not only rejected my request for help, but also trapped me in an endless maze. He told me that I could only find a way out by running continuously.

 So I kept running and running.

Finally one day.

 I ran to the exit of the maze, but by that time the God of Death had disappeared.

I returned to the human world, but I couldn't find Tianqing Grassland.

 A lot of changes have taken place in the land.

I heard that the gods have retired, and the God of the Sun and the God of Death fell one after another I don't know how many years ago.

 I can't find any tauren.

 So I can only retreat to the underworld.

It was then that I noticed that my body structure had changed since then. My body was no longer pure, and time could not leave traces on me.

 I have become a half-living, half-dead person.

 In the end, I buried my body in a place that coincided with the location of Tianqing Grassland in my memory.

 And I myself became a spirit.

Since then, I have lived in the underworld, and over time, I have my own territory in the underworld.

 I became the lord of the underworld.

 In my territory, there are many people like me gathered. They have been forgotten by history and the world, and are the loneliest souls in the world.

As undead, we yearn for the sun and dream, so we finally weave a place where dreams and death meet.

That's my territory—

 "Land of the Day".

The Land of the Sun is a very magical world, where you can fantasize as much as you want, and all your fantasies can become reality.

Of course, we also know that this is a kind of self-paralysis.

It's just that for immortal beings like us, being able to self-paralyze is a luxurious and happy behavior. "

 The tauren spirit introduced it eloquently.

 After listening to it, Peggy only became slightly interested in the Land of the Sun.

 But she seemed to have no feeling at all about the past events in Tianqing Grassland mentioned by Sanger.

"I'm sorry, what you are talking about must be about my previous life. At that time, I may have been a battle angel under the Sun God, but now I am just a little cook next to Matthew."

Peggy said to Sanger seriously:

"I am somewhat interested in the memories of my past life, but that's all. When my consciousness awakens as a tauren skeleton, I will be who I am in this life, not a shadow of my past life. I hope you can understand this. "

Matthew was not surprised to hear this.

 In fact, Peggy has already shown a tendency in this regard before.

 She is not interested in memories of past lives.

 After becoming a demigod.

 She immediately put aside the power of the battle angel state, and spent the whole day pulling Sif and Qiuka to study new recipes.

 She seems to have no desire to continue to explore her own strength.

Matthew felt what she was thinking then.

“Perhaps it was when she awakened last time that the washout of memories from her previous life gave her a sense of crisis in her independent consciousness?”

Matthew thought to himself.

 “But you are the high priest…”

Sanger couldn't help but knelt down again. He was obviously an undead creature, but he didn't know where his tears and snot fell on the floor.

Peggy rolled her eyes with soul fire:

“The sun **** is gone, and the Tauren tribe has been extinct for thousands of years. Who should I sacrifice to?”

 “Just go and do what you have to do.”

 Said.

She turned to look at Matthew and asked softly:

 “What do you want to eat tonight?”

“Would you like to try my newly researched snail soup?”

Matthew looked alert.

Peggy has been trying new dishes every day these past few days, some of which are completely dark cuisine, and his stomach can't handle it.

 You can feel Peggy's earnest eyes.

 He had to say carefully:

  “You can try it.”

“But it's better to add a bowl of mushroom fried noodles, the kind you are best at. Well, I'll eat it if I'm hungry at night.”

"okay!"

 “I'm going to prepare your favorite snail soup now!”

Peggy said and left with satisfaction.

Matthew and Sanger were left looking at each other.

“Would you like to stay for some snail soup?”

Matthew's face remained unchanged as he issued an order to expel guests.

Sanger suddenly puffed up his chest:

 “I'm here to apply for a job as a messenger!”

“I was good at running when I was alive, and even faster after my death. I am a natural messenger. For the sake of the high priest, I don't charge a penny to send you a message, as long as I can see the high priest occasionally!”

Matthew reminded me kindly:

 “But she may not be happy to see you.”

Sanger looked sad:

"Then I'll just hide aside and watch her quietly. You don't understand what the high priest means to us tauren..."

"But what she said is right. The Tauren tribe has been extinct for thousands of years, and many things are meaningless. But for old immortals like us, we must grasp some meaning to survive, otherwise it would be too boring to live half-dead. "

Matthew raised his eyebrows:

 “Like a swingers club?”

Sanger coughed:

 “I haven't gone yet…”

"By the way, aren't you going to deliver a message? Where to send it? I'll show you my powerful messenger talent!"

 Matthew took out the letter:

 “Send it to the Jade Cangting…”

　　Whoosh!

Sanger snatched the letter away and ran wildly to the north. After delivering it, he disappeared.

Matthew didn't even have time to stop him!

one hour later.

Matthew looked at a series of dishes on the table including escargot lettuce and snail soup, fried snails with carrots, steamed snails, and enoki mushroom snail rolls.

 Then he silently hugged his mushroom fried noodles.

 In Peggy's questioning eyes.

 He could only reach out and grab the spoon.

 At this time.

Sanger's figure suddenly appeared, and he was panting and said:

“Emerald Cangting, Emerald Cangting…I arrived at Emerald Cangting and realized that I had forgotten to ask who I wanted to give it to.”

 Matthew coughed:

 “A human girl named Beanna, she...”

 The words have not yet finished.

 Sanger disappeared again.

Peggy silently watched Sanger's leaving figure:

 “This guy is so fast. Is it your new mount?”

Matthew shrugged, changed the subject, and concentrated on the fried noodles in front of him.

after dinner.

 Matthew is taking a walk.

The image of Sanger panting appears again:

“I, I arrived at Jade Cangting, only to realize that I forgot to ask for the specific address!”

Matthew said helplessly:

“Jade Cangting Shangdong District, Prancing Horse Hotel, second floor between the moon and the moon, remember to knock on the door.”

Sangge gave a thumbs up and set off again.

“You're running so fast, how can you go back and forth just like Jade Cang Ting?”

 Matthew discovered the virtues of Sanger.

Although this guy is careless, he is really fast!

“But as a messenger, I'm afraid I have to correct my shortcomings.”

　　thinking so.

 He bent down and picked up the letter from the ground, and then smiled dumbly.

“When he comes next time, I must explain the details to him clearly.”

However surprisingly.

Matthew didn't wait until Sanger appeared in front of him again.

 The whole night passed.

Sanger disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.

 Early the next morning.

 Matthew came to the office and sat in Rega's seat.

Rhaegar has been very busy recently.

 So the most important job in Rolling Stone Town—reading newspapers—falls on Matthew.

 He grabbed a newspaper and flipped through two pages, his eyeballs became slightly protruding.

But I saw this news clearly written on one of the pages—

“According to "Winter Moon" Ai Lan, the registered mage of Jade Cangting, a creature from the underworld of unknown origin broke into Jade Cangting at night and seemed to be trying to attack a human girl who came to learn elf culture at night.

 At present, the underworld creature has been arrested and is being held in Stone Forest Prison.

Although this creature claims to be a messenger, he does not have any tokens of identity on him, not even a letter. It is difficult not to suspect that this is another temptation from the underworld to the main material world.

 In recent years, creatures in the underworld have become more and more active, and among them the leader of the Spirit Touch Hall, Fan Zijue, is the most active. (Turn left to page 3-1 to view Fan Zijue's detailed information)

Winter Moon is a friendly reminder, if there are signs of abnormal activities of underworld creatures in the territory around you, please report it to the alliance in time..."

Matthew was speechless.

Unexpectedly, my courier was arrested on his first trip out...

 “It seems that we need to provide him with identification.”

　　thinking so.

 An owl flew over.

 It brought a letter from Jade Cangting.

The sender is surprisingly Ms. Ai Lan of "Winter Moon" who is also a registered mage of the alliance.

The other party mentioned in the letter that Sanger claimed to be Matthew's messenger. Although she did not believe Sanger's words at all, for the sake of safety, she still sent a letter to Matthew for consultation.

If Matthew states that Sanger has nothing to do with him, then the other party will be sent to Mount Hesso Prison.

From the news in Alliance Weekly, it is not difficult to see that Ai Lan probably really thinks that Sanger is lying. Also, how can a messenger go out without bringing a letter? ?

Matthew's cheeks felt hot when he thought of this.

 He really wanted to cut ties with Sanger.

 But he turned around and started writing the letter seriously.

 In this letter, he quickly introduced the ins and outs of this incident and explained that Sanger was the result of an experimental summoning by him.

　　It can barely be considered a success.

 It is well known.

 It is normal for mages to make mistakes when conducting experiments.

 Although the spell of summoning a messenger is already very mature.

 But mature spells cannot prevent mages from getting into trouble.

 After entrusting the owl to send the letter back to Ms. Ai Lan in Winter Moon.

 It takes less than half a day.

Sanger reappeared in front of Matthew.

 As soon as I saw Matthew.

 He smiled unconsciously, obviously knowing that he had done something stupid.

 “I'm not always so reckless!”

Sanger emphasized:

“Yesterday, it was because I met the high priest that I was confused, so I seemed a little brainless.”

"But I firmly believe that I am qualified to serve as a messenger!"

 Matthew didn't pay much attention.

He just told Sanger the rules for walking in the main material world, and then registered his name and image within the alliance as a messenger.

after.

Matthew gave Sanger a magical document proving the identity of the messenger, and told him to carry it with him.

So far.

Matthew finally had a messenger who came and went like the wind.

  As a creature of the underworld.

Sanger cannot stay in the main material world for a long time, but he can deliver messages extremely fast and efficiently.

As long as Matthew gives an order, Sanger will appear in front of him immediately. This kind of ready attitude is enough to make up for his carelessness.

not to mention.

Sanger is also very powerful.

 He himself is level 18.

　　The reason why he was arrested by Jade Cangting last night was because he did not want to conflict with the other party, so he gave up resistance.

 Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, the declining wood elves may not be able to capture Sanger.

 After completing this series of procedures.

Sanger went to Jade Cangting again with Matthew's letter, and this time he finally handed the letter into Biana's hands.

at the same time.

 He also brought Matthew's letter of apology and the local specialties from Rolling Stone Town to Winter Moon.

Winter Moon is also quite enthusiastic.

 She asked Sanger to bring Matthew many fruits and hand-knitted items from Jade Cangting.

 The former is charmingly fragrant, fresh, sweet and crisp;

 The latter is exquisite and unique in its craftsmanship.

 This time comes and goes.

 Matthew also became involved with the Winter Moon.

  The latter in his letter was full of praise for Matthew's idea of ​​a protective umbrella for the Mark of the Dead. She took the initiative and hoped that Matthew could come to Jade Cangting to help solve the problem of the growing negative influence of the Mark of the Dead.

 According to Winter Moon.

 The Mark of the Dead near Jade Cangting has been quite active in recent months.

 At least three wood elves or half-elves died as a result.

 She hopes that Matthew's S-level project can be carried out as soon as possible.

“If the “Umbrella Project” can be extended to the surrounding areas of Jade Cangting before winter comes, that will be great news for the wood elves, and all the creatures in Jade Cangting will be grateful to you. "

 These are the original words of Winter Moon.

Matthew has certainly considered continuing with his own umbrella project.

 But he had too many things on his hands.

Moreover, the problem of traces of the dead in Jade Cangting is much more serious than that in Rolling Stone Town.

 He must be well prepared to solve the problem first.

 Hence, he pledged in his letter that he would continue to implement the umbrella plan.

  However, the specific implementation time still needs to be discussed.

 Winter Moon expressed understanding when he wrote back again.

 She also sent Matthew a thick document, which was all about the research on the Mark of the Dead.

The two of them had a good time chatting with each other.

 In the process, Matthew also learned about Ms. Ai Lan's background—

 She herself is a level 20 elf mage.

 The reason why she is respected as the Winter Moon by the elves is because she is proficient in the two fields of winter and moonlight.

 Her father was a stag, who was also the most powerful natural spirit in Jade Cangting.

 The mother is an incarnation of the moon goddess Asiya who once walked on earth.

Since his birth, Ai Lan has acquired the demigod status of his father, and has the two major realms given by his mother. Although he is not a pure-blood supreme god, he is still a proper second generation god.

 But because of her special growing environment.

 She did not turn to her mother in the end and became the anchor point of Tianlun Palace in the main material world;

He has not integrated into nature like his father, and has become a "willow leaf believer" who regards the interests of elves above all else;

 She joined the Seven Saints Alliance and became a powerful mage.

ˆAi Lan's legendary background and identity caught between several forces have made Ai Lan the focus of many people's eyes.

But this lady herself is very low-key.

Ever since she became a registered mage of Jade Cangting, she has not left her mage tower all year round, and she is also one of the best among the otaku mage.

 Ai Lan has a unique understanding of magic.

Matthew also found some inspiration in her thinking.

 So he also tried to ask Ai Lan for spells.

 The latter is very patient in answering every time.

 This made Matthew's affection for her greatly increase.

 Later.

Even Sanger inevitably complained:

“If you are looking for a messenger just to communicate with a certain person every day, then a pigeon can do my job.”

Matthew's reaction to this was just a faint smile:

 “Then I change to a pigeon?”

Sanger glanced at Peggy who was busy next to her.

Without saying a word, he put his tail between his legs and went off to deliver the letter.

The days passed like this day by day.

 During this period Matthew also received a letter from the Silver Council of the Alliance.

 mentioned in the letter.

 The specific arrival time of the second batch of visiting delegations of the Umbrella Project has been determined, which is September 20.

 The visit will last three days.

Perhaps due to the influence of the War Secret Order, there were not many mages joining the group this time, only 9.

 Matthew was not unhappy about this.

Last time, many people actually came because of Ekmund's face. Now that the relationship between himself and Ekmond has been cleared, and the current situation is turbulent, it is good to have 9.

Most of these nine people came here sincerely for the follow-up projects of the Umbrella Project.

Matthew decided to treat everyone equally and just copy the previous operation.

 If you can make a fortune, it's a fortune.

“But wait until the second group of visiting delegation leaves.”

“It is estimated that the Silver Council will urge me to carry out the next stage of the project, at least it should be established.”

“It seems that before winter comes, I need to go to the Jade Cangting.”

Matthew thought secretly while adjusting his itinerary.

  One week later.

 September 17th.

 In the northern wasteland, under the influence of rapid growth, a pine sapling kept growing taller and grew into a towering tree.

 The nearby pine forest has grown to a small scale.

Matthew was packing his things while sensing the changes in the land.

 As he perceived it before.

 The life elements of this land are indeed inactive.

  But in the process of planting trees.

Matthew gradually discovered that this inactivity did not affect the planting of the pine forest at all.

 Because it's just inactive.

  rather than non-existence.

 Even this land is quite rich in life elements.

 They are just more passive.

When the root system of the pine tree penetrates into the earth and absorbs water, it also activates some life elements.

 This resulted in the survival and growth status of the pine forest from the beginning being much better than when Matthew opened the oak forest.

This phenomenon surprised Matthew.

He speculated that in addition to the trace of the dead, it should also be related to the thing buried in the ground.

 While the work on the surface is progressing smoothly, the opening of underground caves seems a bit difficult.

 Zombies are good at work.

 But digging holes is actually a technical job.

 During the process of opening up the second cemetery, there were several landslides.

After burying zombies in some places, Matthew couldn't even find them afterwards!

 That is to say, the lives of zombies are worthless.

 Otherwise, there is really no way to proceed with this work.

But no matter what.

Matthew's plan is always progressing in an orderly manner.

There are now more than 400 pine trees in the forest.

　Looking from a distance.

 It can already give people a feeling of green trees.

So far.

 At the end of the work week.

 Matthew accumulated 10 strengthening points in one breath, which can be used to strengthen signature spells 10 times.

 Return to the newly built wooden villa.

Matthew was drinking clear spring water while determining the final signature spell.

 There were many alternative spells on the list in front of him.

 Detailed advantages and disadvantages are listed next to it.

  For example, "instigating rebellion".

This spell actually has a high priority in Matthew's heart.

  But the problem is.

 In the final analysis, instigating rebellion is still the ability of a disgusting person.

 Whether it's sneaking around or robbing someone in person.

 Belonging to the wind, it can make people sick to death.

 It is a spell that has little effect against the wind.

 After all, it is difficult for a truly powerful character to be instigated.

Moreover, this spell is also restricted by the realm of necromancy.

Matthew summed up some experiences from strengthening A Bing and others, and these experiences may also be applicable to the field of magic.

 That is, it is difficult for the strengthened object to exceed its original limitations, and at most it can tap into its potential.

 There may be some potential for instigating rebellion.

 But it is still too restrictive.

 Matthew shook his head.

 Delete this spell from your presence.

after this.

 He deleted "Hand of Balance" again.

  No matter how powerful instant death spells are, they cannot escape the limitation of instant death.

 Powerful creatures are resistant to instant death.

Matthew is not so optimistic that he can strengthen an instant-death spell that ignores instant-death resistance.

 This is against the laws of the plane.

Matthew has a very clear understanding of this.

 Thereafter.

For different reasons, he successively deleted "Flying Technique", "Any Door", "Dead Soul Summoning Technique", etc.

finally.

  There is only one spot left on the spell list.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　gers.

 Scientific name "Iowa scissors".

 This spell and "Death Canopy" are called the two useless spells of the Necromancer.

 It has powerful damage-causing ability.

 But the shortcomings are also very prominent.

After comprehensive consideration, Matthew believes that he lacks a powerful spell that can cause damage. This is actually a common problem among necromancers -

 Summons? Used for cooking.

 Judgment of immediate death? Used to torture vegetables or steal chickens.

Negative Energy? Most of them are auxiliary effects.

 There are too few spells that can seriously deal damage.

Hence Matthew wants to make up for the shortcomings of the deadly scissors so that he can have stable damage-causing capabilities.

 Just do it if you think of it.

 After setting Deadly Scissors as his signature spell.

 Matthew chose 10 consecutive enhancements without hesitation!

 Hint: Strengthening successful!

Your signature spell "Deadly Scissors" has received the following improvements—

 Spell chanting time reduced by 5S-

 The second stage of charging time is shortened by 1S-

 Three stages of charging time are shortened by 3S-

 Period damage increase

 Elite Enhancement (Slowing Field): When you are chanting, a slowing field will be formed under the target area, and all creatures affected by the field will have their movement speed reduced by 50%.

 Three stages of charging time are shortened by 3S-

 Second stage charge damage increased-

 Elite Enhancement (Beautiful): Optimized the light and shadow effects of your spells when casting. Your scissors look smoother and the sound is crisper when they click.

 Period damage increase

 Rare enhancement (10x size): The size and coverage area of ​​your scissors are increased by 10 times!

 That is, after singing, you will be able to control a 20-meter scissors!

 Complete strengthening.

The current properties of Deadly Scissors are as follows—

 Singing time: 15S

 One period (released in seconds) (damage equivalent to level 13 evocation spell)

Stage 2 (charge 4S) (damage equivalent to level 15 evocation spell)

 Three stages (charge 24S) (damage equivalent to level 20+ evocation spell)

 Special enhancement: deceleration force field/beautiful/10 times the size”

good!

 Matthew is quite satisfied with this strengthening result.

 10 times the size with a deceleration force field.

 This thing can already be used as an area spell.

 With subsequent strengthening.

  Matthew is expected to master a powerful and stable signature spell!

 “But what's up with this beauty?”

“Why can spell enhancement also have effects similar to gray keywords?”

Matthew scratched his head in confusion.

 In order to allow the spell to go further.

Matthew next slowed down the pace of his oak plantings.

 Concentrate on pine trees.

 Made Oak Fairy Lulu feel a little dissatisfied with him.

However, Matthew still shed every drop of sweat in the pine forest.

　The days pass by.

 Matthew's heart was extremely full.

 It's just that he always has a strange feeling when he is busy—

 Did you forget something?

 But he could never remember it.

So I simply stopped thinking about it.

Until one day, he saw Sif and Rhaegar quarreling when he was off work.

 Matthew went over and asked why.

Rhaegar explained that Sif wanted to learn magic, but he didn't think it was time yet.

 She has just awakened and needs time to digest the abilities she has awakened.

 The end.

 He said with some emotion:

"This child rarely quarrels with me, but the way Sif lost her temper at me just now reminded me of Melinda..."

that moment.

 Matthew finally realized what he had overlooked!

Hesso Mountain Prison.

 In a superior private room.

 In front of an alloy door.

Warden Alexander opened the door himself. As he opened the door, he explained:

"We have been in custody in accordance with your requirements and ensure that your personal belongings are not violated. Her clothes are handled by the female jailer, as are other aspects of daily life and privacy..."

The voice fell.

 The door is open.

They saw a slender woman wearing prisoner's clothing squatting beside the bed.

 I heard someone coming.

 The female prisoner quickly raised her head.

 She smiled at the two of them.

 While laughing, he was still drooling on the ground.

 Alexander became angry when he saw this and said:

 “Hera!?”

  “How many times have I told you not to use “retarded magic” on prisoners in superior rooms! "

  After a while.

　　A construct that resembled a large golden retriever dog came out of the passage behind the two of them.

She shrugged as she walked and said:

 “You are mistaken, Alexander, I am not using the weak-minded technique.”

Alexander went crazy with rage:

 “Are you still quibbling?”

 “Then what spell did you say you used?”

Hera blinked:

"It's the "legendary mental retardation technique". "
