A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 306 The Unlucky White Dragon

 …

 The red and white rockets pierced the sky.

 When it reaches its highest point.

 Suddenly exploded in all directions.

　　followed by.

 A huge mushroom cloud rises above the starry sky.

Since the previous burst of white light illuminated the sky as bright as day, the shape of this mushroom cloud was clearly and completely displayed in front of everyone.

It’s not just Rolling Stone.

 There were people within hundreds of miles who witnessed the birth of this unique firework.

 The white light gradually dissipated.

 The sky was once again covered with the background of a starry night.

 But the effect of fireworks does not stop there.

 A white meteor shower suddenly burst out from the mushroom cloud.

The dense meteor shower streaked across the night sky of Rolling Stone Town, quickly weaving into a river of stars.

 The other side of the star river.

 A herd of white horses galloped past.

 The white horse waded across the river of stars.

 After a while, he ran to not far from the top of Rolling Stone Town.

　　A carriage rushed out from the group of white horses.

 A figure got off the carriage.

Although the figure was a bit blurry in general, everyone recognized the other person’s identity at a glance—

That’s Rhaegar!

 After Rhaegar's shadow appeared, the white horse and Xinghe disappeared one after another.

 Only his shadow lingered in the night sky for a long time.

 Repeating some mighty and domineering movements.

This scene was seen by everyone.

 Everyone at the banquet was shocked.

Including Rega himself was extremely shocked. He knew that Bobo was not an ordinary person, but he did not expect that this seemingly malnourished girl would reach such a state as soon as he took action!

soon.

This shock turned into elation.

Rhaegar's ears were filled with the chatter of everyone at the banquet. Everyone was staring at the shadow in the night sky that kept repeating various actions.

 As for the sporadic fireworks that occasionally bloom under the shadow.

　　has been completely ignored.

 Wait until everyone comes to their senses.

 The mechanical Titan is long gone.

 However, the shock it brought has become the only topic of concern:

“What was that thing just now? It’s so big and looks so mighty!”

“It seems to be a strange item brought by Rhaegar’s friend, right?”

 “Why don’t you call me Rhaegar? Call him the king quickly.”

 “I just seemed to see a person under that huge thing...”

 “Are you dazzled?”

“No, that person only has one hand, and he appeared at the banquet tonight with that short, flat-chested but hugely edible girl…”

 “Remember, is it the big guard?”

"He is obviously not a guard, didn't you hear just now? Those two are Rhaegar, no, friends of the king."

These discussions, which were either deliberately suppressed or unbridled, naturally flowed into the young man's ears.

At this moment, he was holding the goblet hard with his right hand. His face turned red and white, and the muscles all over his body were tense.

“Master Penster, we still have a big firework, do you want to set it off?”

 A mage apprentice came over to ask.

 “Put what?!”

 “Get out!”

Penster cursed angrily.

 The next second he felt a little regretful——

I shouldn't be so ungraceful in public.

But in a flash, he realized that his rude move was not noticed at all!

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Rhaegar's fireworks flashing in the sky.

 No one pays attention to themselves.

This made Pengster feel lucky and sad at the same time.

after awhile.

A lazy voice came from the crowd:

 “No, Rhaegar, why don’t you come down?”

"How long do you want to stay up there? You won't have to stay all night..."

 Everyone looked back.

 The person who spoke was clearly little Paton with a lazy look on his face.

 In Ms. Liz’s annoyed gaze.

Little Paton shrank his neck:

　　“I just feel that my neck is a little sore from keeping my head raised.”

“And what does this action he keeps repeating mean?”

As soon as this statement came out.

 Everyone was also attracted by the most repeated movement in the sky—

 In the screen.

Rhaegar knelt on one knee and felt around his feet.

 Others were also curious.

 So they all turned their attention to Rhaegar.

Rhaegar picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, then smiled and said nothing.

 …

 On the high-speed flying mechanical Titan.

Matthew tightened the passenger seat belt, and then made a joke to Bobo above his head:

“For a moment, I thought you were going to blow up Rolling Stone…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ttle

I don’t know whether it was the effect of the alcohol or Bobo’s eagerness, but for a moment she seemed to have a big tongue.

Bobo quickly patted his helmet.

 Zizzizi.

 Several electric currents shot through the helmet's surface.

 In the blink of an eye.

Bobo straightened his tongue.

However, her face became more rosy:

“Because she is on a drill mission this time, the lady is equipped with drill modules and does not have actual combat equipment.”

“The fireworks bomb just now was originally going to be saved for release on the Yunshang Plateau, but I have already promised that funny uncle, and of course I can’t go back on it.”

Matthew smiled:

“That Rhaegar just now was quite handsome.”

 Bobo said proudly:

"Those actions and pictures were all improvised by me! How about it? Are you creative?"

Matthew was not stingy with his praise and spoke highly of the big fireworks just now.

These are also Matthew’s true words.

  The abilities of artificers are indeed more unstable than magic, but because of this, artificers usually have more explosive creativity.

 The fireworks just now are a good example.

 The fireworks themselves are made in advance.

  But the illusion pattern produced after the launch requires the whimsy of the wave itself to be injected into it.

The images of Pegasus crossing the river and Rhaegar anointing him with oil all come from Bobo's imagination.

 Maintaining this kind of imagination consumes concentration in itself.

 Considering that Bobo was a drunken firework and could have such an effect, Matthew deduced that her concentration must be extremely high.

 In addition to concentration.

 She did show some artistic talent.

So Bobo’s previous comments about artificers and mages are not unreasonable.

  Matthew partly agrees.

 The main reason is that the mage group is so huge that it is difficult to use a median case or average to represent the creativity of the mage.

 Archantists may be naturally linked to art.

  However, the creativity of some individual mages may exceed the imagination of all intelligent life forms.

 In the midst of thoughts.

 Matthew lowered his head and twisted his neck.

His current position is the co-pilot. Compared to the main driver in the center, the co-pilot's position in the cabin is a little lower.

 Because the Mechanical Titan has switched to a flat mode that is most suitable for flying.

So Matthew is now leaning forward, lying on the passenger seat at an angle of about 135 degrees and 50 degrees.

  Bobo was lying twenty centimeters above his head.

 The two of them were lying on top of each other.

to be honest.

This position is not comfortable.

 When Matthew was talking to Bobo, he would subconsciously raise his head and twist it upward.

  Can be viewed from this perspective.

 He could only see the main driver's seat, as well as the exposed half of Bobo's face and his chin covered by a helmet.

Worse.

 From time to time, strong winds leaked in through the gaps in the mechanical parts.

 They slapped Matthew randomly on the face.

 It was like a baby's fist being punched one after another.

 It doesn’t hurt even if it hurts.

 But it is indeed suffering.

 “So fast…”

 After gradually adapting to the high-speed flight, Matthew had time to observe the indicators in the cabin.

 Speed ​​is one of the few indicators he understands.

 At present, Bobo has pushed the operation feeling representing speed to two-thirds.

 The groove further forward was spray-painted with red spray paint.

 He looked at it.

At present, the mechanical Titan flies faster than most dragons, much faster than the speed of sound!

 This makes Matthew quite worried about Lumiere's current state.

 After all, I am not very comfortable in the cabin.

 What's more, there is a brother who holds the ticket.

 “How is Lumière doing now?”

Matthew asked immediately.

Bobo performed three simple operations on the console directly in front.

 Not long.

 A crystal plate slid down from above.

An outline of a human appeared on the panel. The opponent was holding the mechanical Titan's tail with one hand, and the whole person was blown by the wind like a straight salted fish.

 Beside the outline.

 A large amount of data appears.

"he's good!"

Bobo replied with some surprise:

“His body surface temperature is very low, but because his pores have been completely tightened, his heat dissipation rate is very slow, and there is almost no risk of hypothermia.”

“Other than feeling a little bumpy, Lumiere should be able to adapt to the current flying attitude and speed.”

Matthew looked at the data carefully.

 “His physical fitness is stronger than before.”

Bobo said suddenly.

 Matthew nodded slightly:

"I noticed that too."

 After recovering from the Yelangshan massacre.

Lumière's physical body seems to have undergone a slight evolution. This evolution is not obvious to him, but it does exist.

 The reason why he may not feel it himself.

 Mainly because one hand is missing.

 Hands are the most important weapons for anyone.

　Don’t look at it, it’s just that one arm is missing.

 The impact is all-round and far-reaching.

“His physical fitness is really suitable for a Titan technician!”

 “Hey hey hey…”

 Bobo’s voice suddenly sounded a little strange.

Matthew looked up in astonishment.

 But seeing Bobo's face flushed at this time, her eyes were sometimes blurred and sometimes crazy.

soon.

Matthew then discovered the problem.

In order to sober up quickly, Bobo constantly stimulated her brain with electric current. It did help a little at first, but she seemed to have stimulated it a little too much.

 Under the dual stimulation of alcohol and electric current.

This flat-chested girl who is usually taciturn suddenly began to talk nonsense:

 “Wait a minute Matthew!”

“When I become the most powerful artificer in the world in the future, I will order four of these muscular Titan technicians!”

Matthew suddenly felt confused:

 “What does this have to do with me?”

 He looked up at the upper bunk.

It turned out that the sister on the upper bunk had a lunatic look on her face and was almost drooling!

 “Of course it does matter.”

“We are good friends. If I order four for myself, I will order four for you too!”

 Said Bobo generously.

Matthew laughed dryly and was about to say "No need!".

  It can be used in the next second.

Bobo suddenly pushed the joystick representing speed to the deepest position!

 “It’s too slow!”

 She slapped the main driver's cockpit hard:

 “Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up!”

 There was no time to write down Bobo’s drunken gaffe.

Matthew just felt like someone was hammering his waist and **** crazily!

One pushing sensation surged up from the soles of my feet.

 Following this are the calves, thighs, buttocks and back!

 In an instant.

 He just felt like his soul had been pushed out of his body!

 Hurrah!

 The wind flowing in between the gaps became stronger.

 The baby’s fist has become several times heavier!

 In the dark cockpit.

 All indicator lights turn red.

From time to time, I can still think of the beeping alarm sound!

 “Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up!”

Bobo pushed the other joystick next to it to the extreme.

 The next second.

 A yellow progress bar appeared on the original crystal board.

 As the progress bar continues to accumulate.

 A loud siren sounded.

"etc…"

As soon as Matthew opened his mouth, the strong wind filled his mouth!

Bobo slammed the button in front of him.

 Suddenly.

 A strong feeling of weightlessness came over me!

 There were two or three seconds.

Matthew seemed to be suspended for a moment in complete weightlessness.

 Then he returned to the real world.

 What greeted him was an even more violent push on his back!

 …

“Tips: The “Mechanical Titan (Lady)” you are on has made a short jump.

 The jump distance is 13 kilometers. "

 …

Leap?

 Hence before Matthew could react.

 The yellow progress bar on the crystal board has reached the end again.

Bobo pressed the button again without hesitation.

 This time.

 Matthew, who had been well prepared, became much more adaptable.

 After the brief feeling of weightlessness passed, he consciously pressed his forefoot against the metal plate behind him, and his whole body adapted to the impact very naturally.

quickly.

 Mechanical Titan has entered this rush mode of high-speed flight and regular jumps.

 Matthew has also gradually adapted to the cold wind.

He spoke with difficulty:

 “Have you mastered the jump technology?”

 Bobo thought for a while:

 “What is jump technology?”

Matthew waited for a moment, and when the feeling of weightlessness hit him, he immediately spoke:

"It's now!"

Bobo suddenly realized:

 “You call this a jump? That’s quite an appropriate word.”

“At Cyberron, we call it ‘popping your butt’, because every time you push your butt, you’d better stick your **** up so that you can better protect your spine…”

Matthew thought for a while:

“The name you gave me is more appropriate.”

 Bobo happily explained:

“In Cyber ​​Dragon, a proverb is used to explain this phenomenon—

 The faster you go, the faster you get!

How about it? It’s easy to understand, right? "

Matthew shook his head honestly:

 “I didn’t understand.”

 Bobo said patiently:

"According to the research of Cybertronian mechanics, when an object flies at high speed, it will often have violent friction with the air. At certain special friction nodes, the surface of the object will produce a type of particles called speed particles. s things."

“If you can absorb or collect these fast particles and release them at specific nodes, then you will have the ability to stick your **** out.”

“The lady’s outer armor has a special coating, which is specially designed to absorb such fast particles. Do you see this yellow energy bar?

 As long as you absorb a certain amount, you can stick your **** out once.

If you have unlimited speed particles, then theoretically, you can stick your **** out anytime, anywhere..."

 Matthew was silent for a moment:

    “Maybe we should refer to it as a jump.”      But he is also quite interested in the theory of cyber dragons.

He wanted to know how these artificers understood magic:

“So from the artificer’s point of view, this is how the jump occurs. Can you interpret this phenomenon from a magical point of view?”

Bobo immediately replied:

"Of course!"

“From a magic point of view, it’s even simpler, because the act of flying at high speed can accumulate speed elements. Although these elements cannot allow you to directly enter the space realm, they satisfy some special rules of the space realm.”

“These rules may be set by people, or they may be the original appearance of the world. In short, under a certain rule in the space field, as long as you meet the conditions, you can release the field ability once.”

“And this domain ability, to the outside world, is what you call a leap.”

Matthew couldn’t help but admired:

“I didn’t expect artificers to know magic so well.”

Bobo patted his chest proudly:

"of course!"

“However, not all artificers are well versed in magic.”

“There is only one human artificer in Cyber ​​Dragon who is as diligent and eager to learn as I am!”

 While speaking.

She adjusted the direction slightly, and then pulled the upper direction lever:

 “Put your **** out.”

 “I’m going to start increasing the jump intensity!”

 “Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up!”

 In Bobo’s excited voice.

Matthew pressed his feet against the metal plate behind him.

 It was too late for him to worry about Lumière.

 The powerful feeling of weightlessness and tearing made him feel slightly dizzy.

 He can only give priority to maintaining his own state.

This pattern of violent flying lasted for about twenty minutes.

Soon after.

 The outline of the Mechanical Titan appeared on the crystal plate.

 The outline has several layers.

　　are represented by different colors.

Matthew took a breath, then looked up and found that the outermost layer had turned bright red.

 Then came the beeping sirens.

"What's wrong?"

 Matthew is a little nervous.

 Honestly speaking, the experience of flying in a different world for the first time was not a good one.

 He was ready to run away at any moment.

“The outer armor coating can no longer absorb the rapid particles.”

 Bobo said calmly:

“But it doesn’t matter, we have arrived at the Yunshang Plateau.”

“Next, switch to patrol mode. I have to retrieve the signal source that I collected earlier.”

　　　哐丁吐动.

 The sound of changing forms came from inside and outside the mecha.

A force pushed Matthew upward.

Then the co-pilot's position was switched to a seat, which was flush with the main driver's, and the two positions were merged together in a horizontal position.

 Matthew let out a long breath.

 Finally feeling more comfortable.

Bobo skillfully controlled the operation on the console, and after eight seconds, the form switch was completed.

 The metal cover in front of them slowly disappeared.

 Instead, there is a transparent cover with high definition.

Matthew looked around.

 It is dark outside.

 Even the outline of the Helen Mountains can’t be seen clearly!

 He felt a little scared.

 He did not find a radar or similar device in the cockpit.

Before I dared to express my feelings, Bobo was flying rapidly without any vision!

Matthew quickly asked:

“So what module does Lady use to identify directions and air units?”

 Bobo replied while operating:

 “The direction is very simple.”

“Lady comes with a magnetic field module, which can determine the direction based on the magnetic field or astrology.”

“There are also electromagnetic transmitting towers on Cyber ​​Dragon that can point us in the direction.”

Matthew heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.

 My worries seem to be unnecessary.

Think about it too.

Cyberron can create behemoths like mechanical titans, and communication and navigation are naturally not a problem.

 There should also be radar.

But the next second.

But I heard Bobo happily continue:

“As for identifying air units, I haven’t considered this function yet!”

Matthew's cold sweat broke out again after he pressed it down:

 “What if we bump into someone?”

Bobo said disapprovingly:

“Who would be flying around outside in the middle of the night?”

As she spoke, she pulled the steering wheel:

 “Found them.”

 Mechanical Titan suddenly accelerated again.

 Swooped toward the northeast in a mighty manner.

 …

 Yunshang Plateau.

 At the foot of the sacred snow-capped mountains.

 The endless layers of frozen soil.

The pale light source was shaking randomly in the darkness, and the violent breathing sound revealed the panic of the owner of the light source——

 Three cloud elves are back to back.

Hand held tightly a blue weapon similar to a spray gun.

The equipment on them exudes a blue light and looks extremely cool.

But only they themselves know.

 Under the intervention of some mysterious force, most of the equipment from Cloud City and Cyber ​​Dragon are no longer usable.

The only remaining module is the lighting effect.

Light certainly has a certain deterrent effect on ordinary beasts.

 But they also know it.

 The ones that hunted him were no ordinary beasts.

 They are a group of professional, cruel and primitive hunters!

 “Woo woo woo…”

 The sound of wolves howling was heard in the darkness.

 Then there was a series of soft fur footsteps on the frozen soil.

 The wolf pack is just one of the members participating in the hunt.

Honestly, in the darkness swept by the light source, you can still see other figures from time to time—

 A skinny ice bear;

 The apex predator called the ferocious dragon;

 A man-eating deer that runs extremely fast;

 However, among these beasts that make the indigenous people fearful.

What made the three cloud elves despair the most were the humanoid creatures wearing animal skins.

They were in small groups, hiding among the wild animals;

Muttered shouts came from their mouths, and those weird syllables seemed to be praying to the evil gods for help;

  And further away.

 The wind brought melodious singing like a hymn.

 They know it very well.

 That is the shaman in the hunter clan who is summoning more beasts.

 They are not a deliberately targeted group.

 In fact.

As soon as they entered the Yunshang Plateau, the World War Troops discovered that the God of Hunting had issued a divine oracle. Under the command of this divine oracle, these vicious men called the Sons of Hunting launched a ruthless campaign against all outsiders on the plateau. Differential hunting.

 Due to generations of living and hunting.

This clan has domesticated a large number of wild beasts on the Yunshang Plateau, and they also follow the call of the God of Hunting.

Even hibernating bears crawled out of their caves to join in the hunt, not to mention other beasts.

 The three of them knew it very well.

This carnival is probably just the beginning.

 The God of Hunting and his people will never allow the cloud elves to leave this plateau alive.

  This is a sacrilege to the ritual!

in the dark.

 The howling of the wolf became more mournful.

 Suddenly a ghostly figure flashed in front of them.

One of the cloud elves panicked and flicked the light over, but it turned out to be empty.

 There seemed to be nothing in the darkness.

 But the roar of beasts that sounded in their ears made them feel unprecedented pressure and malice.

“They are draining our energy, which is one of the common hunting tactics.”

 A relatively calm voice sounded.

That was an older cloud elf.

He raised the light source in his hand:

 “It can’t go on like this.”

"We must find Ms. Bobo as soon as possible. The large army has been surrounded by a hunting frenzy. At this juncture, I am afraid that only her Lady can make contact with the space ship."

 “Execute the retreat plan No. 37!”

 The cloud elf's voice was full of determination.

"team leader…"

Others wanted to persuade him, but he pushed him back:

 “Do you still remember that I am the captain?”

"implement!"

The words just fell.

 Suddenly a wild wolf jumped out of the darkness.

Just when the cloud elves were about to make a move, the wild wolf suddenly softened its limbs and fell to the ground!

"Um?"

 The cloud elves were all a little surprised.

 They thought it was a scam at first.

 It can be very quick.

As the light source continued to shine, they were surprised to find that the beasts around them fell to the ground one after another.

Not only that, their bodies were still shaking, and they seemed to be very frightened.

 A gust of wind suddenly blew from the direction of the snow-capped mountains.

 There is an awe-inspiring and inviolable atmosphere in the wind!

That is…

"dragon!"

 The cloud elves reacted.

 Not long.

 In the wail of beasts and the howling of the wind.

 A white dragon swooped down from the sky and disdainfully used its wings to fly away some wild beasts that stood in front of him.

 The cloud elf captain looked happy.

 He recognized this white dragon.

The other party's name is Adams. According to World War II's information, this adult white dragon has recently built a nest on the Yunshang Plateau.

 Adams had a bad reputation.

 Before nesting.

 He also sacked some human villages in the southwest.

But now the cloud elves don't care whether the white dragon's reputation is good or bad. If they can disrupt the hunter clan's hunting plan, they will be their own savior!

 “You dare to hunt without authorization in my territory?”

 “Are you ready for the poll tax?”

Adams roared at the hunters.

 The beasts were trembling with fear, but most of the sons of hunting still stood stubbornly on the ground.

Hailong became even more annoyed.

 At this time.

 The shaman among the hunters stepped out from the crowd.

 He came to Bailong generously:

 “Dear Mr. Adams.”

 “The God of the Hunt greets you.”

Bailong's head shrank back, and his tone became a little uncertain:

 “Hunter clan?”

 “Why are you crossing the border?”

Shaman said calmly:

"This is the will of the God of Hunting. As a people, we will only carry it out and never ask why."

　Seeing the other person's contemptuous attitude.

White Dragon Adams was naturally quite annoyed.

 But he also knew it very well.

The God of Hunting is one of the three major local snakes on the Yunshang Plateau. He is just here for the first time. Although he has already occupied this territory, if there is a conflict with the hunters, the dragon's nest he has worked so hard to build will soon be destroyed. It's about to change hands.

 “Damn.”

"Why is my eyesight so bad? I noticed a group of people entangled in the territory and rushed over..."

“If you can see someone who is the God of Hunting from a distance, how can I come here to show off?”

 Adams was extremely troubled.

 He intends to retreat.

But I can’t erase this face.

Upon seeing this, the shaman smiled and said:

 “We’ll be leaving soon.”

 “Of course this territory is still yours.”

Bailong breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still said:

“Even if you are hunters, you cannot trespass into my territory.”

"I have a good relationship with your hunting god, and I only give him this face."

 “After killing these elves, leave quickly!”

 Finished.

He didn't want to wait any longer, he flapped his wings and flew upwards!

 The eyes of the three cloud elves were full of despair.

 “Implement Plan 37!”

 “Spread out the action!”

 “I’ll draw most of the firepower!”

 They began to take action.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the hunter's shaman's face:

 “Still thinking about leaving?”

“Tonight, no outsider on the Yunshang Plateau will survive!”

 He gently blew the bone whistle hanging around his neck.

 The beasts, who had recovered from the dragon's power, began to pounce on the cloud elves from all directions!

 But at this time.

 There was a dull sound above them!

　　followed by.

 It was a short whistling sound!

 Hunters raised their heads one after another.

The shaman also looked up with doubts on his face, only to see a black shadow approaching the ground rapidly in the darkness!

 “White Dragon Adams?”

 “Why did he go and come back?”

“Isn’t he afraid of offending God?!”

“Wait, in this posture, is he going to hit the ground?”

 These doubts just flashed through the shaman's mind.

 The wild beasts that had already sensed the danger fled in all directions.

next moment.

 In the astonished gazes of nearby creatures.

The figure of White Dragon Adams hit the ground directly with an unstoppable force!

 A loud bang!

 Several beasts that had no time to escape were instantly smashed into pulp.

 Then there was a terrible shock wave spreading in all directions!

 Period.

 The sky and the earth shook on the plateau, and snow **** flew!

 Everyone looked in the direction of the white dragon's fall in shock.

 It wasn’t until this moment that they discovered—

Hakuryuu actually has a huge machine on his body!

 The unlucky Bailong's head was completely smashed in this sudden collision.

 A pair of tattered wings twitched unconsciously.

　　It already looks like it is impossible to survive!

 The Sons of the Hunt and the Shamans looked at the terrifying machine in shock—

　　Bang.

 A glass cover pops up.

 Then two figures were ejected one after another!

 The two figures did not bounce high.

 They drew two parabolas in the air and fell to the ground in front of the shaman.

 “Who are you?”

The shaman took out his knife and asked the man who was closer to him with a fierce look on his face.

　　The latter barely stood up and took two staggering steps forward.

There seems to be no threat when meeting the other party.

 The shaman put away his knife.

 He walked over, grabbed the other person's shoulders, and questioned him again about what he just said.

 The man's face was quite ugly.

 He was facing the shaman and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

 “If you have anything to say, just say it...”

 The shaman hasn’t finished speaking yet.

Matthew finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and with a "wow" sound, he vomited all over the stunned shaman.

 …
