A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Sign Language Spellcasting and Letters from Watcher's Heights

Matthew did not rush to explore the field of magic, but carefully interpreted the new special enhancements of the signature spells.

 Overall, the effects of this batch of enhancements are very good—

 "Silence Halo" combined with the deceleration field may be a bit disgusting from the enemy's perspective;

“Pairs” increases the coverage area of ​​the spell in disguise. Since the newly added pair of scissors can also enjoy the effect of 10 times the size, it is equivalent to doubling the original casting area;

“Blood Sphere” can provide a recovery effect. Matthew himself will probably not be able to use it, but it can be used on summons, which is also a pretty good enhancement;

“Soul Echo” and “Wound Infection” are both auxiliary abilities, and their help in combat is relatively average. They can only be said to be better than nothing;

“Lord of the Undead” is very powerful. Although I don't know how many creatures it takes to summon an elite undead, as time goes by, Matthew will definitely have more and more elite units.

 The most important thing is that it does not occupy the contract slot and permanent loyalty.

 This is the dream of every necromancer.

With the elite undead obtained through the Lord of the Undead and Matthew's contract partners, given time, he will definitely be able to form an elite team composed entirely of undead.

This team may not be as good as the special operations team from the Battle of Moss Green Hills.

 But after all, it is the influence brought by Matthew alone, and it is enough to frighten a battlefield.

It can be said.

 With the continuous improvement of strength.

Matthew can clearly feel that he is getting closer and closer to his dream goal of "one person is an army".

This feeling fascinated him.

  Quickly memorize the 6 special enhancements in your mind.

Matthew went back to look at the basic attributes.

 The properties of the final version of Deadly Scissors are as follows—

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 shut down

Chant: 3S

 One period (released in seconds) (damage equivalent to level 16 evocation spell)

Stage 2 (charge 1S) (damage equivalent to level 20 evocation spell)

 Three stages (charge 5S) (damage equivalent to level 24 evocation spell)

 Special enhancements: Slowing force field/ten times size/virtual and solid/disintegrate armor/legendary power/invisibility casting/silence aura/pairs/blood sphere/soul echo/wound infection/lord of the undead”

no doubt.

 This spell can now be described as metamorphosis.

 Just three seconds of chanting speed can turn an area into a dead land!

The mixed spell characteristics of the Necromantic Ability Field also make ordinary spell resistance defenseless against the deadly scissors.

 This is a spell that is enough to make even giant dragons fearful.

 Let alone ordinary creatures.

 The key point is that the mana cost of Deadly Scissors has not increased due to the increase in power.

 With Matthew's current mana, he can throw 4 deadly scissors in one breath without taking a breath.

 The fifth one is a bit reluctant.

It's not that I can't keep up, but that I'll feel empty for a period of time—

 For higher level spellcasters.

 Concentration may be a more important attribute than mana.

  Normal people will enter a state of lack of concentration after each spell is cast.

 This will take some time to make up for.

 Even to the level of legend.

 How to effectively improve concentration during combat is still a very important issue.

  But even so.

 Releasing four deadly scissors in one go is enough to knock most enemies out of their wits.

certainly.

Matthew was not complacent about this.

 Because he knows that it is still very difficult to succeed all over the world with one move.

Ordinary monsters and even giant dragons cannot resist their own deadly scissors, but other mages in the alliance cannot be defeated by just one deadly scissors.

 The confrontation between mages is full of variables and can be said to be extremely complex.

  Sometimes a simple counterspell, an insidious spell reflection, or a disgusting spell offset is enough to destroy the signature spell you have carefully prepared for a long time.

 Matthew had heard Margaret mention it.

 There is such a group of specially trained mages in the North. What they are good at is spell cancellation.

 No matter what spell you cast.

 The opponent can offset it for you.

 The main theme is disgusting.

 Hence, when facing mages, more flexible and changeable methods are more important.

 So while Matthew was working hard to plant trees, he also did not forget to learn spells day and night.

 In the past half month.

 He successfully learned the "Necromancer" and "Clone Technique".

 As for the third spell "Create Demiplane", there has also been progress.

It's just that he is relatively unfamiliar with the field of conjuration.

 So more time is needed to study.

“With the strength I have now, as long as I don't encounter any mages within the alliance, I can almost crush them from legend to below.”

“But it's completely impossible for someone like Margaret to challenge the legend as a fifth-level person!”

“So compared to a truly powerful mage, my background is still too shallow and I need to study harder!”

Matthew encouraged himself secretly.

At that moment he composed himself.

 Choose to enter the realm of magic.

He originally thought that as a mage, when he entered the field of magic, he would experience the same process of wandering into the world as he entered those larger fields.

But who knew that this process only lasted a second.

　At that moment.

His soul seemed to have left his body and was pressed deeply into it by a powerful force.

 And just when his soul left the body.

 He vaguely saw an extremely complex nebula.

There is a huge head suspended next to the nebula. The head is as big as a planet. It looks like a human but has three eyes, giving people a chilling feeling.

 Soon after, all the images disappeared.

　　Matthew's soul returns to his body.

 Then I felt a severe burning sensation on my left forearm.

 He looked down.

Discovered an extremely subtle magic emblem appearing on the forearm.

Matthew's pupils narrowed.

He knows this magic emblem.

It is exactly the same as the mark on the corner of the Starweaver robe, which belongs exclusively to the goddess of magic in the Age of Enlightenment!

The goddess of magic left a mark on herself?

 But didn't He fall long ago?

Matthew focused his attention on the emblem with some confusion.

 In an instant.

 The scene he just saw appeared before his eyes again.

Following the nebula and the giant head, there was also a set of extremely complex coordinates.

Matthew used the three-legged cat's knowledge of planes to interpret it carefully for a while.

  It is finally determined that this coordinate is located deep in the star realm!

 Hint: You have obtained a nebula map.

The destination guided by the nebula map contains the secrets of the goddess of magic! "

 The secret treasure of the Magic Goddess?

Matthew looked strange.

Hasn't that thing been taken away by Master Ronan a long time ago?

Is it after the fall of the goddess of magic?

 All people who enter the magic realm will receive this emblem?

But what about the fact that the location this thing points to is actually empty?

  Matthew is not sure.

For news of this level, you still have to ask the big guys like Chen, Suriel, Ekmund or Isabel.

 And even if this thing has not been taken away by others.

Matthew will not be traveling to the astral plane now.

 He is very self-aware.

It's okay to occasionally follow the boss to visit the surrounding planes, but it's okay to go deep into the star realm.

 Let's talk about the legend later!

 Matthew gave it a try.

Discovered that this magic mark can be hidden.

 Then I felt at ease.

He recently wore a star-weaving robe, and the emblem of the goddess of magic appeared on his arm, making him look like a star chaser. He didn't want to be misunderstood.

  And on the data column.

 At this time, new content also emerged.

“Hint: You successfully entered the realm of magic and completed a short stay there!

 As a reward for getting involved in the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities -

Transformation Specialization (In addition to Necromancy, you can fix Transformation spells as your second specialization spell school. After that, when you cast or learn Transformation spells, you will enjoy various bonuses equivalent to those of a Necromancer)

Master of Tricks (after mastering this ability, you will automatically master more than 500 tricks. In particular, you will not consume any mana when using tricks, nor will any concentration be occupied) -

 Sign language spell casting (you can use hand gestures to completely replace chanting, thus having a second way of casting spells; at the same time, your finger flexibility and hand speed will be greatly improved

 After reading it.

Matthew suddenly looked hesitant.

 A lot of times he hesitates because the three abilities are **** and there are no good options.

 But this time is different.

  He wants all three abilities in the magic field!

"Transformation Specialization" Needless to say, the second specialization school is almost a free gift. It can horizontally expand the field of magic, which is very useful for him to advance to legend in the future;

"Master of Tricks" also looks very tempting. This thing is equivalent to automatically learning more than 500 new spells, and performing tricks does not require concentration and mana, which can provide great convenience and have unexpected effects even in battle;

 “Sign Language Spellcasting” is even more valuable.

 Mages who have mastered this ability are not so afraid of silence spells.

 And many times you can hide your hands and cast spells secretly.

 Others can't even notice it!

more importantly.

 Sign language spellcasting is the prerequisite ability of "dual-purpose".

Only on the basis of sign language spell casting, Matthew will have the opportunity to chant a spell with his mouth and rub a spell with his hands in the future -

 These two spells are performed simultaneously.

 Under the effect of "dual-purpose", they do not interfere with each other. The only flaw is that they require higher concentration.

 But the "dual-purpose" mage is the most terrifying in battle.

 This thing is not as simple as 1+1 equals 2.

  Sometimes you are caught off guard, and others don't even know which spell to counter!

“Forget it, although the Transfiguration Specialization is very popular, but thinking about it carefully, I actually don't have much need for the Transfiguration Spell and this field.”

“Similar to the magic master, 500 magic looks very powerful, but they are all low-level magic. After all, they cannot compare with the heaven-shattering effect of sign language casting!”

 After thinking about it again and again.

Matthew still chose “sign language casting”!

 After acquiring the ability.

He rubbed his little hands subconsciously, and a magical feeling came to his heart, as if his hands had become his mouth. Whatever magic syllables he wanted to sing, his hands would automatically rub them out.

 Just in this process.

His fingers will rub violently involuntarily, and the skin will definitely become dry over time.

“It seems that when you use sign language to cast spells in the future, you will have to prepare some lubricant for yourself..."

Matthew thought carefully.

 In addition to the ability to choose 1 out of 3.

  The Spell Domain also blessed Matthew with a limited-time status.

“Fire Coverage (limited to three uses): After turning it on, you will automatically receive a random evocation spell. During the duration of Fire Coverage, you will not consume any mana to use this spell, there will be no cooldown, and it will not consume any concentration.

 The status lasts one minute.

The list of random evocation spells is as follows—

  Fireball;-

 touch of ice;

 Ma Youfu acid arrow;

 Powerful Arcane Missiles;

 Violent rock outburst;

　　Blade of Storm;

 Glass ray;》

 Although it is called "fire coverage".

 But Matthew felt that it might be more appropriate to call it spell pouring.

 This state is better than nothing to him.

Perhaps it can be used occasionally to clear monsters in a small area. After all, it can have the effect of a spell machine gun.

 But in front of a truly powerful enemy.

It is also difficult to achieve a decisive effect in this state. In general.

 The formation of signature spells and spell fields means that Matthew's strength has reached a higher level.

 In the past half month.

The already large-scale pine forest quietly opened its arms to him.

The size of the pine field is much smaller than that of the oak field.

 Hence Matthew had no choice.

 He gains an ability and a permanent state from it, as follows -

“Guardian Emblem (Domain Ability): You have obtained the method of making the pine tree of the crest of the pine tree. With the raw materials picked up in the pine forest, you can make up to 9 emblems of the guardian emblem.

 Those who wear the guardian emblem can activate a one-time protective shield when encountering danger.

 This protective shield can resist damage from level 4 spells up to three times.

 The shield will explode after absorbing a large amount of damage. After the explosion, the wearer will receive the final protective halo.

  The final protective aura will last for three minutes and provide the wearer with up to 50% damage reduction effect. "

“Yuyu Cangcang (permanent state): The plants you plant will have stronger reproductive capabilities. Even plants spawned by magic will regain their reproductive capabilities faster.”

 The effect of the Guardian Crest is quite outstanding.

Whether it is a protective shield or damage reduction effect, it may sometimes be able to save someone's life.

 The most important thing is that you can make several more!

 So this ability is acquired.

Matthew went to the pine forest non-stop to collect raw materials - pine bark and a small amount of sap.

 He made 9 protective coats of arms with this.

 Matthew kept one for himself, and took out four more and gave them to Rhaegar, Zeller, Sif and Peggy respectively.

  He keeps the remaining 4 guardian emblems with him temporarily.

 Can be given to partners in need in the future.

 The state of being gloomy and green is also a very practical state.

Matthew's woods are all ripe and have no reproductive capacity at all. It would have taken a long time to repair.

 Now we have this state.

Perhaps in ten or twenty years these woods will reproduce themselves like normal plants.

 It's a good thing anyway.

 After the carnival of early autumn is over.

 The time has come to October unknowingly.

 The town of Rolling Stone has become somewhat autumnal.

 And it was during the days when Matthew was tirelessly planting pine trees.

 There are also several things happening.

 The first thing is the reincarnation contract of the Traveler God.

 After the former comes to the door again.

Matthew ultimately chose to refuse.

The God of Travelers did not hesitate, and he never came to Matthew again.

Matthew was actually very moved by the secret treasure mentioned by the Traveler God.

 But he is very self-aware.

Becoming a teacher to a **** sounds very honorable, but it can also be a source of trouble.

 He did not want to be bound to the traveler **** for no reason.

 Who knows how many enemies this guy has out there?

more importantly.

 The six secrets are too far away for Matthew now.

 It's not that he is short-sighted.

 It's because he fully understands the sin of holding a jade in his hands.

He wasn't sure what the Traveler God had planned, but the more the reincarnation contract seemed to be okay, the more he felt in his heart.

 In this case.

 Just refuse.

With insufficient strength, he will not be able to enjoy the wealth and honor that pours into the sky.

 Matthew has always been content.

 The only thing that surprised him was that his move did not go further in the field of moderation.

This made him a little confused.

  Secondly, Rolling Stone Town and several surrounding territories have been arguing over war reparations for more than a month.

 The high leaf collar part has been determined.

  Matthew received 600,000 gold coins.

 When Rhaegar handed the money to him, Matthew truly realized that war can really make a fortune.

 This is still based on the fact that Rega and others did not try their best to exploit.

 Of course these 600,000 gold coins do not belong to Matthew alone.

 He will only leave around 200,000 at most.

 The remainder will be reasonably distributed with partners who have contributed.

  No matter what you say.

Matthew also has much more money than before.

 Plus the repayment from the Oak Chamber of Commerce.

 The cash in his hand once exceeded 500,000 gold coins.

Matthew didn't let the money rust in his pocket.

 It is very easy for a mage to spend money.

 He casually went to the alliance mall and bought some props like magic bottles and scrolls like Margaret.

More than half of the money left him like running water.

And the cost of learning advanced spells is also very high.

Each of the spells Matthew is currently learning costs about 10,000 gold coins.

 It can only be said that being a lawyer is indeed a profession where money comes in quickly and money is spent quickly.

 He also plans to save some gold coins.

 Then find Suriel to strengthen yourself severely!

 His goal is to accumulate as many basic abilities and spells as possible before the legend.

 In order to make full use of the multiplier effect when promoting to legend!

 The third thing is about Margaret.

 After receiving secret assistance from Matthew.

　　Marguerite is firing on all cylinders, killing everyone in Purgatory.

 Just a week ago.

 A legendary devil in purgatory couldn't hold it any longer.

 He quietly attacked Margaret.

As a result, after three days and two nights of **** battle, Margaret actually killed the legendary devil!

This news not only caused an uproar in Purgatory.

 The entire alliance is encouraged.

There are many pairs of eyes currently staring at Margaret, including malicious glances from the outer planes and eager expectations from the main material world.

 In fact, it's about this.

 Margaret can definitely be promoted to legend.

 She has managed to defeat the weak with the strong, and what she has done is completely in line with the legendary way of a battle mage.

 But she didn't.

Matthew guessed that Margaret didn't just want to be a legend, she wanted to be a leader in the way of legend!

Chen thinks she can become a legendary mage like Ronan who is extremely powerful in combat.

 But what Margaret wants is probably to surpass Ronan at the same time!

to this end.

 She made no progress at all after defeating the legendary devil.

 She is still walking unscrupulously in purgatory.

 She is waiting for a more powerful challenger!

 She will continue to challenge the legend as a mortal!

This move greatly increased Margaret's legend. Not to mention the Alliance of Seven Saints and the Outer Planes, even bards with a little bit of intelligence circles began to sing Margaret's story.

Perhaps this is also the secret instruction of the Seven Saints Alliance.

 After all, Margaret's journey to purgatory is significant.

Where can she go?

 It may even be related to the future fate of Tianlun Palace and the Alliance!

 Matthew is very concerned about Margaret's progress.

 Not only did he list Margaret as a special concern in the ability of world events, but he also often went to the Crucible House to find 177 for deeper information.

If you have a chance.

 He even wanted to watch Margaret when she was promoted to legend.

 After all, this is an extremely rare experience.

 It will be very helpful for him to be promoted to legend in the future.

all in all.

This autumn, whether it is mages or devils, many eyes in the multiverse are attracted to purgatory.

 The entire world of Irondor knew about this girl named Margaret.

 She may not have become a legend yet.

 But her name is already a legend.

Matthew continues to pay attention to this.

 But he himself still goes about his repetitive daily life in a low-key manner.

 Although the carnival mission in early autumn is over.

Matthew still maintains a certain frequency of planting oak and pine trees.

 Before winter comes.

 He still cannot slack off.

 In this way, October 7th came.

 This morning.

Matthew was sitting at Rega's seat in the office hall reading the newspaper.

Tauren spirit Sanger suddenly appeared:

 “A letter from the black-skinned sister!”

 Said.

 He handed over a letter.

Matthew shook his eyebrows and opened the letter.

The writer is Lyra who is traveling to Watcher's Heights.

 She was asked by Matthew to check on Eli.

However, as soon as Matthew glanced at the content of the letter, his expression became extremely serious.

 “The headquarters of the Earth Society was breached?”

“Watcher Highlands is currently full of demons and chaos, and the members of the Blight Order and the Scourge Order are very active?”

 “The Druid Order has currently retreated to the Underground Temple…”

 “In the legend, there are still troll warriors appearing near the underground temple of the Earth Society?”

 “Laila herself was seriously injured?”

“Eli's whereabouts are unknown. He is suspected to have been abducted by a cult called the Whale Hunters?”

 See here.

Matthew stood up suddenly.

Rhaegar just came in from outside at this time. He looked very tanned recently.

As he entered the door, he asked Matthew:

 “Is there any interesting news?”

Matthew said seriously:

 “I'm going to take a trip to Watcher's Heights.”

 (End of this chapter)
