A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 314: The Well of the Burner and the Skeleton Prince Lirik

 …

 The coffin lid was slowly moved away.

The torch illuminated everything in the coffin.

Seven or eight fearless drow stood beside the coffin, all looking inside.

But they saw a handsome young man looking at them doubtfully.

The other party said politely:

“Please close the coffin lid, thank you.”

 “Push me back again, okay?”

The drows looked at each other, and two of them boldly stretched out their hands and pulled Orolin out of the coffin!

 Their actions were quite rough.

Oluolin was dragged and stumbled, shouting:

 “What are you doing?”

 “Don’t pull my clothes so hard...I only have one piece of clothing!”

“I just want to take a nap, right, where is Matthew? I want to talk to Matthew!”

  The drow looked at each other after hearing this.

One of them asked:

 “Who is Matthew?”

Oluolin was stunned for a moment:

 “You don’t know Matthew?”

Zhuoer sneered:

 “Why should I know?”

“What is your relationship with this cemetery? Why do you lie here?”

 “Be honest!”

Oluolin was stunned again.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the cemetery, but saw that the space on the third floor of the cemetery was already a chaotic scene:

The remaining skeleton soldiers and zombies were chased and beaten by a large number of kobolds and bugbears.

 The cemetery gate has been demolished.

The fence next to it was also flattened, and the nearby Black Locust was trampled mercilessly by many underground creatures!

 “You are intruders!”

Oluolin exclaimed.

The drow impatiently grabbed his collar:

 “Nonsense!”

 “Otherwise, what else would I be doing here?”

“Damn it, I’ve been pulling on this dress for a long time without tearing it. I guess it’s a good thing. Come here and hold it down for me. I’ll take it off first!”

The other drow immediately responded and stepped forward.

 In the blink of an eye.

 Oluolin was pinned to the ground by seven or eight drow!

 He looked defenseless.

This makes the drow quite satisfied, but what makes them unhappy is that for some reason, they can't take off the clothes on Olorin!

 And it’s in the process.

One of the drow suddenly saw Orolin's lips moving slightly.

He immediately leaned over and asked while listening:

"what are you saying?"

Oluolin answered honestly:

“Oh, I’m reciting the fireball spell.”

Zhuoer laughed and said:

 “In this case, did you focus on casting spells?”

 “Then why don’t you continue reading?”

Oluolin said honestly:

 “Because I’ve finished reading it!”

The drow laughed even louder.

 In his short life, he has never seen such a funny creature!

However, just when he was about to share this joke with his other companions, he suddenly felt that the air around him became hot.

Blazing fire surged from around them.

 They felt as if they were in a heat wave.

That moment.

 Everyone saw a bright light that was impossible to see directly.

 And a blazing ball of fire.

"damned…"

 The fireball melted the drow's vocal cords and throats.

 At the last moment of life.

 They seemed to see...

sun.

 …

ten minutes later.

 The second floor of the cemetery.

Matthew listened to Ali’s report with a calm expression.

"The third underground floor fell? Fortunately, the third underground floor is currently under development. There are only a few skeletons and zombies active. Even if all are destroyed, the loss will not be huge."

"Nothing has been heard from all the Ghostfaces sent out? Are the anti-reconnaissance methods of those drow so powerful?"

"The enemy is very calm. They have clearly occupied the third floor, but they have not attacked the second floor for a long time. They are moving step by step. It seems that they have premeditated it."

 After listening to Ali’s summary.

Matthew quickly came to various conclusions in his mind.

 “Your previous decision was quite correct.”

“But now that I’m back, there’s no need to be so nervous. I’ll take people down to have a look first!”

 After finishing speaking.

 He led everyone to the entrance of the third floor.

 “Remove the stone!”

  Matthew commanded.

In order to prevent enemies from attacking on the third floor, the entrance to the tunnel between the floors has long been blocked by huge stones from the quarry. This is also a mechanism that Matthew deliberately left behind when he designed the cemetery, so that one day the tomb can be opened. When the garden is attacked, each layer can be effectively isolated.

Xinwak immediately stepped forward and moved the stone away.

 “Zizzizi!”

 A large amount of white gas came out of it.

Matthew was surprised by the heat that hit his face - this kind of battle couldn't be a monster like a Balrog, right?

 But when he saw clearly what the third layer looked like through the fog, his surprise was magnified countless times!

 Burned corpses all over the ground;

 Large areas of glass appear on the rock walls around the cave;

 The further you go outside the cemetery, the higher the residual heat and the lower the density of corpses on the ground.

 There were many crystal clear vitrified crystals on the surface in that area.

 The temperature looks very high from a distance!

 “The caves were baked into glass houses…”

 “What’s going on here?”

Matthew waited at the entrance for a long time, until the heat had almost dissipated. He drank two bottles of fire resistance potion, and then took people in to check.

 There is no one left alive on the third floor.

Matthew saw the skeletons of drow, kobolds, bugbears and other creatures here.

These skeletons were burned more severely than those left by the Southern French Legion!

 Matthew was on high alert.

 He never realized why this place turned out like this.

 Until his peripheral vision suddenly noticed a huge crystal slab—

The crystal stone slab is very regular and laid flat on the ground.

 Its surroundings and surface were covered with gray sticky liquid.

 The liquid was still glowing with fire, and the temperature had not yet receded.

Matthew glanced at the nearby gap again.

The area was also roasted by ultra-high temperatures and turned into a resinous substance, almost glued together.

 “Oluolin!”

Matthew couldn’t help but think of the dead man’s name.

 Until this moment.

 This information popped up on the data column.

 …

"Hint: You realize that the handwriting here is the handiwork of your contracted undead "Lich Orolin". Ten minutes ago, he released a fireball here..."

 …

 “Fireball?”

Matthew glanced at the scene around him and couldn't help but touch his chin.

Oluolin and his contract are special.

Matthew cannot get news about him in a timely manner through a contract like ordinary summons, so Matthew is also a little worried about Olorin's whereabouts.

But this worry soon dissipated.

Because he saw a set of flaming magic words on the ground not far from the cemetery:

 …

“Matthew, in order to ensure that my sleep is not disturbed, I plan to clean the underground space nearby. I will be back soon!

 By the way, I'm sorry for breaking the coffin you prepared for me!

 I really didn’t mean it!

I will try my best to compensate you. I hope I can have a new coffin to sleep in when I come back! "

 …

“It’s okay, come down and help!”

 After basically figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Matthew summoned more undead to come down to work.

 Mainly tidying up and cleaning.

The invaders left countless charred corpses.

 If it is not dealt with for a long time.

It is very likely to become a hidden danger.

 While Matthew was directing the work of his younger brothers, he lamented the exaggeration of Olorin's fireball technique.

 He could feel that the third floor of the cemetery was filled with fire elements.

 The stickiness on the top of the head, the flow in the cracks, the boiling under the feet...The ubiquitous enthusiasm has almost changed the ecology of the third floor of the cemetery from the source!

 This is definitely not something that ordinary fireball or even legendary fireball can do!

Matthew even suspected that if this place was given another three to five years, it would be difficult to return to its original state.

 The feature layer here has obviously been changed.

  Forming a field of flames.

It’s just that this area is not so overbearing, and it is relatively friendly and blends in with the original area of ​​the cemetery.

 Hence Matthew's ceremonial site was only partially damaged.

 It can be restored with repairs in the future.

 At least the second and first floors will not be affected.

But the third floor... "I'm afraid this place won't be suitable for the undead to live in from now on."

 Matthew smiled bitterly in his heart.

 Why are you so unlucky lately?

 Sudden and playing with fire frequently intersect.

And these people who are playing with fire are all friendly forces...

Matthew couldn't say much.

“We can find a way to set up a negative energy fountain here, which should speed up the restoration of the ceremony site, but the cost is a bit high.”

 While Matthew was thinking.

 He suddenly found a flaming well in front of him!

He had an impression of this well before.

 It was first left by the miners working in the Gold Prospector Basin.

After Matthew took over this place, he blocked the well long ago in order to prevent creatures from deeper places from climbing up.

but now.

 He could feel the drastic changes taking place in the well.

A wonderful power is constantly pouring out from it.

Part of that power comes from the Death Fear Cemetery itself, and the other part is the hot and violent breath of fire!

 He took a step forward.

 Observe carefully.

 …

  Hint: You have discovered a ceremonial site "The Well of the Fireman" that was formed naturally by chance!

The Well of the Burner: This is a forbidden place where the dead and the flames intersect.

 You can put 7 to 14 corpses that have been burned to death by fire into the well.

 A week later, these corpses will have a certain chance of transforming into the rare undead "Burner" who can control the power of fire!

Burners are usually elite spellcasters, and may also be ranged units whose main attack method is throwing fire spears.

  The initial level of the Fire Undertaker is LV12…”

 …

 “Is there such a good thing?”

 Matthew’s eyes lit up instantly.

 Before this, he had almost never heard that the realm of the dead and flames could be combined!

 On the one hand, it is certainly because Matthew’s basic skills are not solid enough.

On the other hand, the undead like the Burner are indeed too rare.

“So, the charred corpses left behind by the Southern Magistrate Corps are also of great use!”

Without saying a word, Matthew directly let the coolie zombies drag fourteen drow corpses and filled them all into the Well of the Undertaker!

 “From now on, this floor can be completely regarded as the activity area for the cremators!”

“At worst, we can continue to open up the fourth floor and add a special passage between the second and fourth floors!”

Matthew thought with excitement.

Flame is indeed a very rare attribute for the undead. Most undead have a small amount of cold attributes, so the corresponding flame becomes extremely precious.

 In Matthew's knowledge.

Only the two undead creatures related to purgatory, the Flame Knight and the Red Flame Nightmare, are related to fire.

 The others are all guys who are afraid of flames.

If the undead who can master fire can be mass-produced, the strength of the Death Horror Cemetery will surely rise to the next level!

However, there are also hidden dangers in the Burial Well.

Matthew can tell that this thing is a temporary ceremony place, and one day the fire element may not be enough.

 If subsequent operation and maintenance is required.

　　It takes some effort.

"It shouldn't be too difficult. You can go to the Alliance Mall to buy some materials needed for a flame-type ritual venue. If it doesn't work, wait until Olorin comes back and let him take care of the maintenance. Just throw a few small fireballs into it occasionally."

 Matthew thought to himself.

 After finding out the situation on the third floor.

Matthew personally went to the fixed sentry outside the cemetery to inspect the situation.

 He found that the harpy giant was not alarmed.

 This shows that the group of drow came through a tunnel dug separately.

 Considering that there was little movement in the process.

 They must have very advanced burrowing technology or some kind of creature.

 It’s a pity that no one was left alive.

Matthew left the underground space after ordering Argus to increase patrol intensity and readjust the distribution of peripheral sentries and spell traps.

the following few days.

Matthew traveled back and forth between the cemetery and Yunshang Plateau.

 In order to move all the scorched corpses to the cemetery, Matthew had to build a teleportation altar on the Yunshang Plateau.

This cost a fortune.

The teleportation altar can only be used to teleport items, but its advantage is that it has a strong carrying capacity, the cost of a single transmission is low after it is built, and it can operate continuously 24 hours a day.

 Three days to go.

There were more than 1,200 charred corpses with relatively high integrity in the cemetery.

These corpses were members of the hunter clan during their lifetime.

 On the battlefield left by the Southern Division Division.

 There were also many carcasses of wild beasts.

  Matthew will naturally not let it go.

 He wanted to send all the charred corpses to the third level of the cemetery before the heavy snow came.

 And in this process.

  Matthew also had an idea.

 He plans to establish a cemetery branch on the Yunshang Plateau with the teleportation altar as the center!

As soon as this thought arose.

 It spread uncontrollably in his heart.

People say that a cunning rabbit has three holes.

  Ronan is based in Gemstone Bay, which does not prevent him from owning a quarter of the city in Rolling Stone Town.

Although the environment on the Yunshang Plateau is a bit harsh, the resources are relatively abundant.

 No more than that.

 The special nature of the ancient land also makes establishing power here full of challenges.

Matthew can't always do things by shaking people down.

 And as far as Matthew knows.

There is no mage tower belonging to the alliance in the entire ancient land.

This may have something to do with the ancient covenant they talked about.

“You can first build a small cemetery, cover it with spells, and disguise it as a shelter.”

“Let’s go back and ask the Silver Council if we can open a branch mine here...”

Matthew began to develop ideas in his mind.

 The location of this place is also relatively superior.

To the southwest is the Watcher's Highlands, to the south is the Garden of Fallen Leaves, to the east is Eversong Forest, and to the north is the Helen Mountains.

 Once you can gain a foothold here.

 He will have the opportunity to trade directly with the elves.

  You can also use this as a springboard to make contact with businessmen in the Northland.

certainly.

The monster's lair in the ancient land is a place that Matthew misses dearly.

 It is said that the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.

 There is nothing wrong with living closer.

 Between thoughts.

 Matthew returned Bailong’s body to the cemetery.

 Then he ran back too.

It's still not convenient outside. If you want to dispose of Bailong's body, it's more convenient in the cemetery.

But just returned to the cemetery.

 Matthew got new news.

The negative energy beacon is in effect again.

But the undead person who came here this time was actually a skeleton with a proud personality!

 He was standing near a negative energy beacon.

 I don’t pay any attention to anyone who comes to say hello.

 Only when Matthew comes in person.

 The soul fire inside the skull has changed slightly.

 “Give me a separate cemetery.”

 “I can give you an army of skeletons in return, a truly elite regiment!”

 The skeleton’s voice was extremely hoarse.

Matthew glanced at the data column.

 …

“Tips: You encountered “Wandering Skeleton Prince Li Rick” (LV20/Hero Template)

 …

Today I feel unwell, with backache and dizziness. I really can’t understand what I’m writing, so I can only reduce the number of words. I’m sorry.
