A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 31 Taling

  …

   Early morning of the next day.

  At 3:50, Matthew opened his eyes on time. After a hasty wash, he went to the kitchen to grab a piece of bread, and then left home amidst the sound of birdsong in the morning light.

  He didn't leave the mage area as usual.

   Instead, walk towards the center of the inaccessible mage area.

  The morning sun in early spring is still cold.

  Matthew walked side by side through a neatly manicured bush. Drops of dew swirled along the leaves, and a few drops even sprinkled on his shoes.

A few minutes later.

  He had wolfed down the bread and stood in front of a two-story bungalow in the center of the mage district.

   "Boom boom boom!"

  Suddenly, such a bell sounded in the bungalow.

   This means that the time has come to four o'clock.

  Matthew stepped forward quickly.

  He lightly knocked on the door with his right hand, until a flamboyant strange face appeared on the door, and then he said the password:

   "The best plan for a day is in the morning."

  The strange face split open quickly, revealing a dark, arched entrance.

   "Good morning, Matthew, and welcome to The Crucible. "

   "I'm waiting for you on the top floor, remember to press the acceleration button of the elevator several times, you will experience an extraordinary pleasure."

  A mechanical sound came from inside.

  Matthew bowed his head and walked in.

   What unfolded in front of him was an extremely vast space.

  The floor is paved with a strange material like mercury, the dome of the sky that lists the rituals of the stars, six marble columns rise to the sky, and a sculpture-like structure on both sides is waiting.

   This is the Crucible House.

   is a part of a mage tower made public by Grand Mage Ronan.

  You can buy magic props and materials here, borrow magic books, rent spell laboratories, create magic equipment, publish team requirements, and more.

   It's a bit like the Adventurer's Guild in many online games, except that the Crucible House only serves mages.

   And its entry time is very strict, only 15 minutes from 4:00 am to 4:15 am. If you miss it, you can only come back the next day.

   There are at least four places south of Eversong Forest where there are entrances to the Crucible House.

   But every time Matthew came here, he didn't run into anyone.

  He speculated that on the one hand, it may be because there are still too few spellcasters in this world, and on the other hand, the reason is that the Crucible House charges an entrance fee.

   30 gold coins each time, not too expensive, but the size is also an expense.

  Take Matthew as an example.

  If he hadn't requested to borrow books, he would never have come to the Crucible Room on his own initiative.

  How about the things and services here—high quality and high price.

  The materials and props provided by Archmage Ronan are much better than those outside.

  But if Matthew has a choice.

  He is still willing to travel hundreds of kilometers to Baiyan City to find a familiar businessman to buy.

no way.

  This is the kind of place where even if you don’t have a lot of money, you will bend down unconsciously when you enter the door.

  …

Matthew walked to the marble column closest to him—this is actually a magic elevator hidden in the column. You can go to the floor you want according to your needs. Different floors have different structures to serve you. Of course, you can also Choose manual reception, but you have to pay more.

   When Matthew approached, he unexpectedly discovered that there was another woman wearing black-rimmed glasses and a traditional robe that was so dirty that it was dregs waiting anxiously.

"Ding!"

  The pillars rotated to both sides, and the car of the magic elevator appeared in front of the two of them.

   "Ah, why don't you go first!"

  The female mage said to Matthew unnaturally.

   She seemed particularly cramped.

  Matthew looked at her a few times, shook his head and said:

   "No, you should go first, I'll wait for the next shift."

  The female mage was a little surprised.

  But after seeing Matthew's determined expression.

  She nodded quickly and whispered a few words of thanks.

   Then trotted all the way into the car.

   "By the way, if there is a voice asking you to press the acceleration button, remember to reject it sternly!"

  When the elevator doors are about to close.

  Matthew smiled again and gave his advice.

   In the gap.

  The female mage tilted her head in confusion.

  The elevator went up in an instant.

  Matthew waited patiently for a few minutes.

  A brand new car unfolded in front of him.

  He walked in calmly.

  As a relationship with Ronan who talked and laughed many times.

   His privilege in the Crucible House was the sole service of Tarling 177.

  This will greatly facilitate him to find what he wants in the vast ocean of knowledge.

   There is no need to pay labor costs.

   Matthew is very grateful for that.

  The elevator door slowly closed.

  He could feel himself rising at a slow and comfortable pace.

   About a few seconds passed.

  A stiff voice sounded beside his ear:

   "Sir, according to the current speed, you still need 29 hours and 7 minutes to reach the floor you want, so do you need to speed up the service? I am your intimate companion, No. 247, Taling."

   Matthew immediately rejects:

   "No, I don't need it, stop playing this kind of trick, 177, it's boring to repeat the old tune."

   After a few seconds.

  The voice said again:

"The No. 177 tower spirit has been replaced by my murder, and now the crucible house is my No. 369 world, boy, if you don't want to fall halfway, you'd better be honest, press the acceleration button next to it, it can make people hapiness."

  Matthew laughed:

   "It does make you happy, but I'm sorry, I've already vomited once, and after that I swear I'll never fall for your tricks again."

  The voice sneered:

"No oil and salt? It's okay, Matthew, you've got the skills, you don't think that whether the magic elevator speeds up really requires you to order it yourself, I am the greatest tower spirit in history, who am I? The king of the crucible house! If you don’t know what’s good and what’s wrong, I’ll personally help you speed up!”

  Matthew grabbed the elevator handrail: "I'm ready."

  Taling's voice suddenly became evil and ghostly.

   "Are you really ready?"

   "Hey, Matthew, I'm going to speed up..."

  Matthew closed his eyes and pulled the armrest tight.

   "Don't be afraid, I will be very gentle, Matthew, I really want to speed up."

  Taling is still threatening.

  Matthew suddenly opened his eyes.

   "Are you scared at last, Matthew?" Tarling said triumphantly.

  Matthew let go and looked towards the elevator door:

   "The top floor is here."

  The door opened in response.

  Matthew stepped in.

   The topmost floor of the Crucible House is a large open space.

  Overhead is the endless starry sky.

   On the clearing.

  A construct with a height of more than 3 meters, a body made of clay, and an exaggerated suit is walking towards Matthew.

  It doesn't look **** off by the failed prank.

   Instead, he greeted Matthew in a humble tone:

   "Good morning Matthew, welcome to the Crucible House, where your humblest servant Tarling 177 is at your service."

  However, Matthew didn't dare to put on airs in front of him.

   You must know that this construct with a bad personality, longing for a spouse, and lonely has 23 occupational levels!

   It is said that it is the only legendary structure in the known city-state territory of the human country.

   Matthew's strongest bone dragon is not enough for him to punch in front of him.

   "Dear Mr. 177."

   Matthew cut to the chase:

   "I want to find and borrow books in both directions."

"Key words."

   The 177 words to enter the working state are concise and to the point.

  "The first keyword is psionic energy, and I want to find books and materials related to "charging psionic items". "

  Matthew said quickly:

   "The second keyword is the country of Su, and the secondary keywords may include "emperor", "Great Wall", "Yufeng" and the like. "

  177 'thought' for 3 seconds after listening.

  Then replied:

"Pure psychic research books are very rare, but there are still some related to the charging of psychic items. I am just a little dabbled in the field of psychic energy. If you can clarify the problem, I will Maybe I can answer it directly for you, so you can avoid a loan fee."

  Matthew looked at him suspiciously:

   "Will there be an extra consulting fee?"

   He couldn't help being careless, in the Crucible House, borrowing is much cheaper than consulting!

   "You worry too much, Matthew."

  177 calmly said:

   “Originally there would be a consulting fee, but it has been offset by the problems caused by the second keyword.”

"I'm sorry to inform you that the information about "Su Country" belongs to the eleventh level of confidentiality. In the entire Seven Saints Alliance, only the Guardians of Sifang and the other three Masters of Tongtian are qualified to know. If you really want to know about this aspect , The suggestion to you here is to kill Ronan, that bad old man, and replace him as the guardian of the south, so that you can do whatever you want. "

   Matthew wasn't particularly surprised by this.

  There must be a reason why the country of Su is rarely known on this continent.

  The Seven Saints Alliance deliberately blocked news in this regard must also have their considerations.

  With my current strength, there is really no need to rush to collect information in this regard.

   Then he sighed:

   "So you canceled my consulting fee out of sympathy?"

  177 sternly said:

   "No, I did it out of outrage.

who I am? Greatest Tarling ever!

   King of the Crucible House!

  I worked hard and worked tirelessly for Ronan, but when I went to look up information about "Su Guo" just now, I was denied access!

  How dare the old men of the League of the Seven Saints reject the Crucible House's—well, that sub-keyword you mentioned earlier is good, and now it's mine—reject the Crucible House Emperor! ?

   Of course I want to take revenge on him.

Not only is the consultation fee free, but you will come down with me later, and you can take whatever you like, don’t worry, I will support you in everything, and the best result is that Ronan dies in the star realm, and I, Taling 177, become the Southern Guard and enjoy the beauty of the world! "

   Matthew immediately fell silent after hearing 177's rhetoric.

   "How did Archmage Ronan train Ta Ling? Why is 177 so rebellious..."

  He muttered something in his heart, then quickly changed the subject and explained the reason for coughing the staff.

  177 said decisively:

"It's simple. The grade of this kind of psychic items is not high, and the charging methods are similar. The first way is to find a being with psychic powers to act as your human energy source. Go to the abyss for a few laps. Some demons have Like psionic energies, they may not apply psionic power, but the charge is more than enough.

Here I recommend succubi. At least 1/3 of succubi have a source of spiritual energy in their bodies, but they hardly know how to use them, and they know they are in heat all day long. It is also a cost-effective choice. "

  Matthew rubbed his temples:

   "What about the second type?"

  177 said: "Holding a staff, imagine that you are coughing."

  Matthew was stunned:

"So simple."

  177 nodded:

   "Of course it is simple, but the efficiency of this method is very low. You need to be mentally prepared."

  Matthew memorized the two methods silently, and after bowing and thanking Ta Ling, he offered to leave.

   "Is this leaving?"

  177's tone is a little more vivid:

   "You know, Matthew, I'm lonely."

  Hearing these words, Matthew felt a chill.

   "Aren't there many constructs in the Crucible Room? Are they all hard to catch your eyes?"

   he asked politely.

"Don't mention those vulgar fans. Later, Ronan couldn't even understand the advanced wisdom technique, and the constructs he created were rubbish. I really doubt how he tossed me out. Maybe he lied, I It's not his own at all!"

  177 said unhappily:

   "I have expressed my needs to him many times, but what about him? Once I asked my spouse to be at least big enough, and he caught a dinosaur very perfunctorily!"

  Matthew said in surprise:

   "Dinosaurs? Is this some kind of ugly term?"

  177 glanced at him, shook his head and said:

   "No, in the literal sense - the mother-in-law's Tyrannosaurus rex, who knows how many unethical things he did in the project of "Resurrection of Ancient Mythical Creatures"! "

  Matthew was silent.

   "But that Tyrannosaurus Rex is quite strong."

  Taling added another sentence.

   "Then what happened next?"

  Matthew had to force himself to cooperate with his confession.

"Later? I managed to get along with Xiao Hua—Xiao Hua is the name I gave her. She is not very intelligent, has a bad temper, and perfectly complements me—I have a certain relationship with her, and our lives are no longer so ordinary, but That damned Ronan turned around and took Xiao Hua away, and he also said that the project had a problem and was stopped by other members of the Seven Saints Alliance, even he had to return the test product."

  177 said bitterly:

   "To compensate me, he caught me another Cyclops. The level of that monster has almost caught up to my 17/23. The good news is that I also had some interest in this new love at first."

  Matthew nodded.

   "I guess there must be bad news."

  177 sighed and said:

   "It was only when I couldn't find the entrance for three days and three nights that I realized that Ronan, who suffered a thousand knives, was so careless that he got the gender of the Cyclops wrong!"

  Matthew froze on the spot.

  …

   The sun was high when we left the Crucible.

  Matthew came to the oak forest wearily.

   Take a short nap in the hut.

  He started today's workflow.

  But when he walked to the north of the oak forest with a shovel.

  He suddenly realized that something was wrong!

  The ground in front of it was obviously erased.

  If it weren't for the blessing of the oak tree field.

  Matthew may not even notice this trace.

   "A Bing."

  He silently awakened the knife dancer who had been waiting in the hut before.

  He just wanted to use the domain to communicate with the oak forest.

   At this time.

   Several oak elves flew out.

  They confided in each other.

   "An ugly, fierce and big guy came to the woods last night?"

   "He blocked the attack of an evil Blighter for you? Well, you didn't find out until the Blighter left?"

   "The big guy didn't go far, just hid?"

  Matthew's expression changed one after another.

  In the end, it became a little gloomy.

  He probably knows who the big guy the goblins are talking about is.

   But he cared more about the Blighter.

   This is the druid's depraved class.

   They gain power by destroying forests.

  A forest targeted by the Blight.

   usually reduced to a piece of scorched earth.

   "I see, don't worry, I won't go anywhere until I get rid of that Blighter."

   Matthew said as he clenched the shovel in his hand.

   After a while.

  He continued walking in the direction of work.

  No matter what happens.

  Planting trees is still the most important thing!

  …

   night.

  The moonlight shines brightly.

  When the first ray of moonlight shines on the world.

  The believer badge on Matthew's chest responded.

  …

  「In view of your performance in killing the three Kuangse guards, you have become an official member of the Moonlight Society!

  …

  You got the spell: Moonfire"

  …

   It’s been 39.8 for three consecutive days, I hope I can withdraw it tomorrow... I’m a little less today, I’m really dizzy
