A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 161 Dark Life Contract and Second Tauren!

  …

   Half a day later.

  Matthew walked out of Suriel's Crystal Palace.

  His body doesn't look any different from before.

  Only he knows.

  Three imperceptible spell carriers were implanted under the skin between the wrists of the left and right hands and the gap between the shoulder blades on the back.

  The three spell carriers are only the size of little fingers.

   At this time, they have merged with Matthew's subcutaneous fat, and there is no trace of trace from the outside, not even traces similar to bruises.

  With the help of Suriel, the spiritual power synchronization between Matthew and the spell carrier also went very smoothly.

   When walking out of Suriel's workshop.

  He can already use these three spells freely.

  These three spells are "Spell Rebound", "Man of Steel" and "Different Door".

  On the square outside the palace.

  Matthew couldn't hold back his itchy hands, and made a movement of pulling the door—

  It is also a common sense of spellcasting to enhance the conditioned reflex of mental commands through the form of action coordination.

  Many mages will do this action when opening any door. This does not mean that this action is necessary, but it is just to make it easier to wake up related memories.

  The magic energy completed the scheduling in an instant.

  A portal appeared in front of him, and the other end of the portal was a hundred meters away from the square.

  The view here is wide and unobstructed, so it is an excellent place to practice any door.

   Matthew happily shuttled back and forth between the two doors.

  Any Door is actually a classic panacea spell, it can be used not only for escape, but also for other purposes.

  Matthew's arbitrary door lasts for 80 seconds.

   During this period, he can shuttle freely.

   If eggs and rocks (throwable objects), fireballs, or water jets (ballistic evocation spells) are thrown into either door, these will also be thrown out the other end.

  Matthew bought a copy of "Any Door Development Guide" in the spell library.

  It lists more than 300 ways to play any door.

  In addition to the insidious usages such as conventional throwing spells through the door, preparing traps behind the door, and throwing teammates through any door.

   What impressed Matthew the most was the author’s play on card positions—

  According to research, the 0.02 seconds when any portal is used to transmit characters is invincible time.

   Skilled mages can use this invincible time to repeatedly get stuck with the enemy. The most basic usage is to enter any door first, and when the enemy also steps into the door, they will immediately go back and then close the door.

  In this process, the two parties will not meet.

   If the card position is played well, you can even play with the enemy repeatedly during the duration of any door.

  When the enemy starts to attack your arbitrary door in a panic, the mage can shoot the opponent as a living target.

  Of course, the author also stated in the guide that any door is essentially a means of escape, and if someone with a high level of art dares to show off the operation, there is also the risk of sudden death.

   Go through this guide.

  Matthew deeply felt the selfless research spirit of the mages.

  At the end of the guide, there are some tidbits in the research of any door, and the most interesting one is this—

  In order to thoroughly understand the mechanism of any door, the author, signed by Martin, recruited two volunteers, a man and a woman, to stand on both sides of any door.

   There is a black wall between the man and woman, and they can't see anything from each other.

  Martin ordered them to contact each other through any door.

  The experimental results are quite interesting.

   For a brief moment, the man claimed that he hadn't touched anything.

  The woman insisted that the other party not only touched, but also had a strong texture.

  In fact, the two sides did meet, but that was after a few seconds from the man's perspective.

   This result is confusing.

  To seek the truth.

  Martin successively replaced hundreds of volunteers with combinations of men and women, women and men, men and men, humans and dwarves, humans and half-elves...etc.

   With the support of tens of thousands of experimental data, Martin finally found the truth behind this delay phenomenon——

  That is, time near any door will be slightly distorted when living creatures enter.

  The degree of time warp depends on the mass of the object entering any door.

   This experiment further verified that there is a certain relationship between space, time and quality.

   And Martin himself wrote at the end of the case:

   "And the research result that I am most satisfied with is that I found that exercising through any door can effectively prolong the time..."

   Matthew was stunned after watching it.

  After reading this guide, he suddenly realized that Lorraine's magical book might be dead.

  Because Matthew finally found out.

   Lorraine's whimsical ideas are just commonplace for mages!

   That's what they did!

   And what he did was far more outrageous than Lorraine imagined!

   "In the future, I will buy more materials that record the experimental process!"

   "The innovative ability of mages in this world cannot be underestimated!"

   Matthew secretly thought.

   In addition to any door.

   Man of Steel and Spell Reflex have 10 and 5 daily uses respectively.

  Matthew is quite satisfied with this number of times.

  I am a mage, and the ability of the Man of Steel to be immune to physical damage, if I can use up the number of times in a day, I probably have no way to survive.

  Spell rebound is the same.

  As for the remaining three spells, it will take half a month to be implanted.

  Suriel told him it was for his body.

  Because it is the first time for Matthew to accept spell solidification, the body needs a period of adaptation. If too much solidification is done at once, it may cause the body's rejection reaction.

  So she divided the six spells into two groups for solidification.

   Matthew has no problem with this.

  In order to make it easier for him to come next time, Suriel also gave him a third-level VIP card of the Crystal Palace.

  With this card, you can take two free rides to the Alliance Portal to Crystal Palace every month, no matter how far away.

   After returning to the Crucible House.

   Matthew asked David and Margaret to bring a message, saying that it would be inconvenient for him to attend class within a month because of the solidification of spells, and he hoped to move the remaining class hours to next month.

no way.

  Margaret's crash course in tactics is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part.

  The theory class was finished last time.

  The next step is to practice.

  According to Margaret, her practical class is very intense, and **** battles will inevitably break out.

   Matthew can throw a few spells now, but he can't engage in high-intensity battles.

  I can only wait for this month to pass before training for the remaining courses.

  …

   One week after.

   Rolling Stone Town has returned to its previous tranquility.

  Matthew reads newspapers at work every day, plants trees after get off work, repairs graves at night, takes time to learn spells, and occasionally polishes the black warrior.

  The days are quiet and fulfilling.

  Recently, he started to learn the third-order spells in the realm of the undead. I don't know if it's because of the realm of the undead, but his learning speed is so fast.

  Just seven days.

  Matthew managed three necromantic spells.

  The first one is "Group Undead Summoning".

   It is a group advancement of necromancer summoning, which can take effect on multiple corpses (3~7) at the same time, which means that Matthew does not need to pull people one by one in the future.

   This greatly improves the efficiency of necromancer summoning younger brothers.

  The second is "Dark Life Contract".

   This is a passive spell with auxiliary properties.

  The necromancer signed a contract with the supreme consciousness of the negative energy plane to increase the health of the summoned objects.

   is more interesting.

  The dark life contract can be superimposed repeatedly.

  A layer of dark life contract can increase the health of all undead under Matthew's name by 1%.

  Matthew has stacked 3 layers these days.

   That is, the life of the undead +3%.

  The method of stacking dark life contracts is also very simple. It is to find a place with abundant negative energy, preferably a node that can communicate with the negative energy plane, and constantly write specific contract papers.

   Matthew's cemetery has negative energy fountains, death beacons, there is no shortage of such places.

  This is also the benefit of building a cemetery early.

  It is extremely helpful for practicing many negative energy spells.

  The success rate of contract writing is about 5%.

   Matthew used papyrus, which is cheap and of poor quality, so it is easily damaged.

  He reckoned that if it were replaced with parchment or higher-grade paper, the efficiency would be higher, but the cost would also increase.

  Dark life contract is a very real spell.

   Matthew intends to stack its layers as high as possible.

   It's just that it is said that if this spell is stacked too much, it is easy to be backlashed by the negative energy plane.

  Every 20 layers of contracts, there will be at least one powerful elite monster driven by the will of the negative energy plane to attack Matthew.

  The will of the negative energy plane is not a cute little fox like the soul of the rainforest.

   Matthew has been inconvenient recently, so the folding of the contract is relatively restrained.

  But once he has recovered his full combat effectiveness.

   It's time for him to test the quality of the elite monsters on the negative energy plane.

  The third spell is called "Iowa's Scissors", also known as "Deadly Scissors".

  The effect of this spell is to condense a pair of huge negative energy scissors in the target area, and cut three consecutive times at a specific space.

   The damage for the first time is average, equivalent to a level 11 evocation spell.

  The second time the damage was much higher, almost the strength of a fourth-order evocation spell.

   And the third time, it is said that it is comparable to the power of a level 20 spell, and it can even cut off the head of a dragon!

  But this spell is special.

  Its release speed is very slow, it takes a full 20 seconds to chant, and it does not enjoy any auxiliary ability bonus.

   And the three consecutive cuts of the deadly scissors are getting slower and slower.

  The first time was the click when it appeared.

  For the second time, charge for 5 seconds.

  The third time was even more outrageous, and it took a full 30 seconds to charge.

  In actual combat, no one will stand stupidly and ask you to cut.

  Due to the powerful tasteless attributes, the deadly scissors and the sky of death are ridiculed by mages as the two major traps of the third-order necromancy.

  Matthew also found it difficult to cut the third cut.

  He learned this spell purely because there is nothing else to learn about the third-order necromancy spell. This spell can have a very high explosion, and if it can be used once, it will be blood money.

  The content of the Necromancer Domain is relatively monotonous, mainly consisting of three parts:

   Summon and craft undead;

  Negative energy-related spells (various debuffs, debilitating, blood-sucking, instant-death spells);

  Ceremony field magic.

   Among them, the negative energy-related spells are full of a lot of **** and evil content that is not necessarily powerful.

  Matthew's current approach is to focus on the undead and minor in negative energy.

   Once the foundation is solid, he will advance more to the magic of the ritual field.

  He didn't forget either.

  Spells are just a pre-requisite tool for the domain.

  The ritual field magic, which is closer to the profound meaning of the field, is the prerequisite ability that is more suitable for him to expand the legendary road.

  …

  Night.

  Matthew put the bacon that had been brushed for ten days—no, it was the black warrior who put it on the ground.

  The oiling session is over.

  The five black warriors in front of them are all full of color and shiny.

   Picked up alone is the prototype of a small best.

  Matthew intends to strike while the iron is hot and complete the third step—

   Anti-binding ceremony.

  The so-called anti-binding is to use spells and rituals to awaken the residual spirituality on the body of the Black Warrior. In the process, Matthew will also call the souls wandering in the world to enter the body of the Black Warrior.

  When the ritual progresses to this step, the space he is in will briefly overlap with the underworld.

  Matthew must use mental power to project the ancient artifact that has been repeatedly remembered in his mind, the Furnace of Soul Forging.

   In order to attract those unconscious souls into the body of the black warrior.

  This can further strengthen the power of the Darth Vader.

  When the body of the black warrior contains enough spirituality, he will also complete the final binding and sealing in the form of spells.

  After successful anti-binding.

   There will be a lot of spirituality active in the body of Darth Vader.

   They will fight each other, fighting for control of the body.

  The consciousness that survives in the end.

   will become the dominant consciousness of the black warrior.

  Other failed souls will become the source of power for the Black Warrior.

   It is precisely because the birth process of the Black Warrior is full of fighting and pain.

   This kind of undead will also want to self-mutilate day and night after taking shape.

   This instinct of self-mutilation can comfort his soul.

  Matthew made a lot of preparations for tonight's ceremony.

  He first found an open space in the cemetery, and carefully constructed all the materials, rituals and media needed for the anti-binding ceremony.

  Secondly, he is also ready to fight.

  A Bing, Renee Smee, and even Peggy are always on call.

  His imaginary enemy is a messenger from the underworld.

  The production process of the black warrior will slightly violate the authority of the underworld. Although those souls are scattered in the world and no one wants them, sometimes these little officials working in the underworld just don’t want to see the necromancer picking up things they don’t want.

usually.

  The level of the messenger of the underworld will not exceed level 16.

   Matthew's formation should be able to be dealt with calmly.

besides.

  He also held Ursul's scolding in his hand.

  This treasure also poses a great threat to spirit bodies.

   Can be used just in case.

  After finishing all these preparations.

  Matthew started a long chant.

  The anti-binding of the black warrior is also a kind of ritual magic, but due to the exploration of the senior mages, this ritual has become very mature.

  Matthew selected a set of anti-binding rituals with the lowest risk from the alliance spell library.

   I have to admit that the quality of spells tested by the alliance is high.

  Although Matthew is the first time.

   But singing it once is also very smooth.

   In the blink of an eye.

   Accompanied by the ringing of bells.

  The corpses of the five black warriors coincidentally began to emit a faint green light.

   This green light is even more dazzling and bright after being covered with the pre-prepared strong color potion.

   This step can facilitate the necromancer to better judge the gathering of souls.

  When a samurai green glows.

   It's almost time to finish.

   There is a wind blowing through the cemetery from underground caves.

  The bell jingled.

   Matthew is nervous.

   Keep an eye on the changes around you.

   And with the passage of time.

  The soul casting furnace he projected also began to dissipate slowly.

   Half an hour later.

  Even the last black warrior was shiny green.

  Matthew suddenly began to sing the sealing spell.

   Another three minutes passed.

  The magic circle under his feet slowly dissipated.

  All media and materials are also sublimated into powder.

   Successful anti-binding!

  Matthew looked at the five black warriors full of spirituality, his eyes were full of surprise.

   "It was so successful? No one from the underworld came to bother you?"

   Matthew was a little unbelievable.

   But this kind of smooth sailing and calm is exactly what he expected.

   Not long.

  He put the Darth Vaders in place.

   Only when the final spirituality is determined, he can use the sealing ceremony to strengthen his spirituality and ability.

  The final recognition of the Lord is just a matter of course.

  Because throughout the production process of Darth Vader.

   Matthew has established an inseparable relationship with them.

  The cost of making a Darth Vader is indeed too high, which includes not only time and material costs, but also emotional and energy costs.

   Take away the necromancer's summons.

   Probably worse than killing him.

   One thought of this.

  Matthew couldn't help but think of the god-level instigation again.

   He pondered and opened the tauren domain.

   Previously.

  He has accumulated enough elements from Rhaegar.

   Now it’s time for secondary development!

  …

  「Reminder: You are developing the tauren domain, please choose the direction of development—

  1. Horizontal development (obtain more elements, get involved in more cross fields)

  2. Vertical development (select a certain element to dig deeper)”

  …

   Matthew thought for a while, in such a small field as the tauren, it is still necessary to take a small and refined route.

   Blind expansion is not advisable.

  If it expands to other messy fields, it will lose its own purity.

  So he chose to develop vertically, and the element was to choose plunder.

  …

  「Successful development, as the pioneer of the tauren domain, you will get two of the following three abilities—

  1. Enhance countermeasures (your innate spellcasting ability countermeasures have been strengthened, and the effect has been increased to—

  When you successfully instigate an undead, if there are other undead of the same type around him, you will randomly instigate another undead.

  This enhancement cannot be superimposed with continuous countermeasures. )

2. Hunting mark (you can mark a certain type of creature as your prey, and within 72 hours thereafter, whenever this type of creature approaches you within 300 meters, it will appear in your field of vision with perspective, high bright effect)

  3. Stealing and looting (When you steal or rob, you will get extra attribute determination; and every time you steal or rob successfully, you will get a lot of XP)”

  …

   "If the plundering field continues to dig deeper, will it really develop towards the evil side?"

   “And there seems to be some intersectional territory between predation and hunting.”

   Matthew thought thoughtfully.

  If you choose two of the above three abilities, you will undoubtedly be excluded by him.

   Strengthening instigation is very good.

   Hunting marks are also quite useful.

   It’s fine to steal by chance, he is not someone who likes to steal from others.

   Completed the field development.

  Matthew got up and stretched his muscles.

  The cemetery at night is very lively.

  Recently, not only skeleton soldiers dance hip-twisting dance every day, this trend is gradually spreading to zombies.

  When Matthew passed by a zombie carrying a tombstone.

  The latter actually bent over and twisted his crotch twice.

   Matthew was speechless.

   I am also very curious about the medium through which the trend among the undead is spread.

   And in the process of patrolling the cemetery.

  Matthew also found that many zombies had swollen faces.

   There is no doubt that this is Renee Smee's handwriting.

  Just as he was about to go back and reprimand him.

  Matthew passed by the ghost area.

   When the ghost wolves saw their master passing by, they immediately rushed over enthusiastically, circling back and forth like Erha.

at this time.

  The elite ghost Ali floated over.

  He said to Matthew respectfully:

"Good evening, my lord. It just so happens that I have something to ask you. Speaking of which, I have lived in the cemetery for so many days, and I can feel your kindness every day. My people and I have nothing to repay, but we can only I would like to share with you some of the discoveries I made during my wanderings, in case you can use them, that would be great."

   Matthew thought to himself that this guy finally couldn't bear it anymore.

   It is estimated that both skeletons and zombies have tombstones, and I can’t hold back my face because I eat and drink for nothing every day.

   Finally willing to offer something.

  He asked calmly on the surface:

   "What information?"

   Ali said:

   "We passed many dungeons when we were wandering. On the way, I found an open-pit sulfur mine and a very hidden silver mine."

   "The sulfur mine is not far from the cemetery."

  …
