A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 316 The Finger of Desire and the Barb of the Rock

 …

 Chthonism?

Matthew couldn’t help but feel something in his heart.

Fan Viscount had indeed entrusted him with investigating the soul theft incident before, but this matter was obviously not done by an organization.

Matthew accidentally uncovered the Order of Blight.

 But this does not mean that the people of Hades are clean.

In fact, Matthew also noticed that this evil organization, which was originally only active on the east coast, has recently been developing and growing.

 They even organized manpower to enter the large tomb complex where Olorin was located.

 This shows that the power of Hades is indeed growing.

 “What news?”

After saying hello to Viscount Fan, Matthew looked attentive.

Fan Zijue said in a deep voice:

"I got reliable information from an informant that people from the Hades Cult have occupied a secret island in the Free Islands. They internally call that island Shenlong Island."

 Shenlong Island?

 Matthew raised his eyebrows.

Fan Zijue’s wording is quite precise. He is not referring to the giant dragons in the Western Continent, but the dragon clan in the Eastern Continent.

“It is said that the people of the Hades Cult imprisoned many divine dragons from the east on the island. They plan to use the souls of the divine dragons to refine an artifact. The large number of souls lost in the south are also related to this matter.”

Fan Zijue said:

"Just at this time, I heard you calling for the dragon soul, so I came over to take a look and wanted to hear your opinion."

“After all, if you can inject the soul of the divine dragon into the body of the bone dragon, then you may get the legendary “Heroic Bone Dragon”. "

 “You must know that the starting level of the heroic bone dragon is legendary!”

  Matthew was undecided.

He didn't believe that things were really such a coincidence, but he definitely couldn't hide it from Fan Zijue's eyes when he deployed the soul-summoning array in the underworld.

The other party has guessed that he currently needs the dragon soul, so he wants to do a favor?

 Matthew felt that things might not be that simple.

“What do you want me to do?”

 He asked bluntly.

Fan Zijue smiled:

"You also know that I have always been unwilling to interfere with the operation of the material world, so I can only entrust others to handle the matter of Shenlong Island this time."

“I hope you can board Shenlong Island with my informant to destroy the plans of the Hades Cult, and even directly eradicate these cult members!”

This commission sounds quite normal.

Matthew was about to agree, but after two seconds, he came to his senses and his eyes became sharp:

“That informant of yours couldn’t be Sen’er, right?”

Fan Zijue nodded:

"it's him."

"Sen'er also has a grudge against the Hades Cult. He is planning to go to Shenlong Island to find a death flying knife that has fallen into the hands of the Hades Cult; and for you, the dragons or dragon souls on Shenlong Island are of immeasurable value. the value of."

"If you can complete this cooperation, I will give you each an extremely generous reward."

Matthew refused coldly:

"Thanks."

 “But there’s no way I’m going to work with a murderer.”

　　Sel the Scarlet Letter Hunter.

　　He is notorious throughout the entire Iron Dor continent, let alone the southern region.

Countless innocent people died at his hands.

 Most of them were unarmed civilians.

This seriously touched Matthew’s bottom line.

 It is impossible for him to cooperate with the other party.

Fan Zijue’s voice revealed a hint of confusion:

 “I don’t quite understand.”

 “You said you couldn’t work with a murderous maniac.”

 “But you can have a teacher who is also a murderer.”

“As far as I know, more people died at the hands of Ms. Isabel than Senel…”

Matthew said in a deep voice:

“Indiscriminate killing of innocent people and excessive killing are two different things.”

Fan Zijue thought for a while:

“You mean that most of Isabel’s killings were premeditated or out of necessity, but Sener’s was not?”

 “But in my opinion, there is no difference between the two.”

Matthew smiled slightly:

 “So I’m not trying to convince you.”

Fan Zijue nodded slightly:

"All right."

 “I don’t agree with it and I can’t understand it, but I will respect your opinion.”

“In this case, I can only find other people to help, but please keep the news about Shenlong Island confidential.”

Matthew affirmed:

"Of course."

 Because it involved Viscount Fan, even if he knew that Sener was about to take action, he would not interfere much.

 Otherwise.

Matthew even planned to have a romantic relationship with Hades.

"By the way, it is difficult to summon dragon souls with a soul-summoning array like yours. Not only the giant dragons have their pride, but also the sub-dragon species. After their death, they already have a place in the underworld. Very few people Will actively respond to your spell."

Fan Zijue reminded him kindly.

Matthew smiled helplessly:

"Of course I know."

 “But there seems to be no better alternative.”

Fan Zijue thought for a while:

"You can try going to the dragon tomb. More dragon souls are dissipated in the dragon tomb. In some older dragon tombs, you may be able to gather several dragon souls of sufficient weight by using the spirit summoning spell. .”

"But you have to find the location of the Dragon Tomb yourself. It's impossible for me to tell you. This goes against the duties of the messenger of the underworld."

  Matthew nodded in thanks.

Viscount Fan left immediately.

Matthew touched his chin. To be honest, it was a pity to reject the Shenlong Island issue like this.

  But it involves the bottom line of principle.

 It is impossible for him to disobey.

Moreover, this kind of cooperation is too risky, and Matthew cannot trust Sener at all.

 “I hope Sen’er misses, then I won’t be sorry for Viscount Fan if I take action again.”

“But if Shenlong Island can make the top rogue in the south miss, the strength of the Hades Cult cannot be underestimated.”

“Forget it, let’s think about Dragon Tomb!”

  For Matthew.

 The Dragon Tomb is indeed an easier shortcut.

 Because according to Yu Lian, there is indeed a larger dragon tomb hidden under the tomb of King Mingtan.

 Blinken is currently staying in the Dragon Tomb.

 If Matthew goes to find Yu Lian.

  It is quite certain that I can ask the other party how to enter and exit the Dragon Tomb.

 It’s just that the Dragon Tomb may be the most dangerous tomb in the world.

　　Exploring it will lead to a narrow escape from death.

Matthew planned to go back and ask Lorraine and Carmela what they thought.

After all, they are part of the underground alliance trio.

 They are the eldest brothers.

Matthew has a very clear positioning of himself as a coolie.

 He composed himself.

  Reconstructed the soul-calling magic circle.

 Then continue the call.

quickly.

 A variety of gray lights lit up above the magic circle.

Matthew glanced over, his eyes gradually becoming less calm—

 The remnant soul of the wild wolf;

 The remnants of wild dogs;

 The remaining soul of a wild boar;

 The remaining soul of the groundhog;

 A quarter of human ghosts and remnants;

 The remnant soul of the demented dragon;

 …

 Sure enough.

 They are all defective products.

 There is no one that works at all!

 For this result, after being reminded by Fan Zijue, Matthew actually had a psychological expectation.

 After all, the Soul Evoking Circle is a voluntary principle.

 At most add a little coaxing effect.

 But how can the ghosts of the underworld be so easily deceived?

　When a person dies, he becomes enlightened.

 Therefore, only these defective products that accidentally passed by the area Matthew was pointing to would come to him driven by instinct.

Matthew looked at the crooked melons and cracked dates.

 My heart gradually despaired.

“Sure enough, the moral bottom line is too high to be a necromancer.”

 He sighed softly.

 For other necromancers, the soul-calling circle is just a matter of luck.

 They also have a more cruel method to find the soul of the bone dragon.

 That means killing living creatures and drawing out their souls.

 Within this category of living creatures, human beings are the most suitable targets.

 First, humans are easy to kill.

 Second, human souls are easy to restrain, unlike dragons which are extremely difficult to control.

 Third, the human soul is extremely adaptable and is not only suitable for being stuffed into the body of a bone dragon, but also suitable for being stuffed into other containers.

 This is one of the reasons why the Necromancer is infamous.

 In history, many poor and crazy necromancers have carried out small-scale massacres.

Matthew certainly cannot be like them.

Not only is it impossible for him to use living people as material, he rarely even actively summons ghost-like undead!

Trying to return the souls of fellow human beings to the underworld is one of the principles he has always adhered to as a necromancer.

 He is clearly aware of the loss of these principles as constraints. Your own strength may usher in a short period of expansion.

 But what follows is loss of control and madness.

Especially when you learn about the Chaos Enigma Lock.

 He will not allow himself to do what others do.

 Even if you become someone else in the eyes of others.

 Even though everyone regards this as commonplace.

 It is absolutely impossible for him.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

“Such crazy thoughts pop up in my mind. Is this the influence of the Chaotic Mystery Lock, or is it the evil of human nature hidden in my heart?”

 No one could answer him.

 In addition to the new tooltip on the data bar.

 …

“Tip: You have practiced more deeply in the field of temperance. In return, your authority (oath) has been slightly strengthened and you will gain one of the following three abilities—

  1. Power of Oath (you will obtain the inheritance from the paladin. You can choose to work part-time or advance, thereby obtaining different levels of strength improvement and career expansion)

  2. Patience (after activating this ability, your body's sensitivity to pain, temptation, happiness, and sadness will be reduced by 50%)

3. Finger of Desire (You can pour the desire elements that you usually accumulate through the control field into the target unit by touching it with your fingers into the opponent's body. At this time, the opponent will bear the excess desire elements, which is very dangerous. Possible loss of sanity.

  Note: For the same unit, it can be used up to three times a day)》

 …

 There has also been progress in the area of ​​abstinence.

 This is good news.

 But among these three abilities, except for the first, Matthew wants the remaining two.

 The sensitivity reduction provided by endurance has room for application in many scenarios.

Not to mention the finger of desire.

This thing looks evil, but it is actually a very powerful point control ability.

You can make the opponent lose their mind by lightly touching them with your fingers. Even if the opponent passes the exemption, you can cause elemental disorder in their field or body, and you can also pour out desires that you can't usually use. It can be said to be a small magical skill. !

Matthew thought for five minutes before making a decision.

 He chose the finger of desire.

Although the ability of endurance is also very good, he has two divinities in hand, which can have a substitute effect to a certain extent.

 After acquiring the Finger of Desire.

Matthew quickly felt his fingers become full of energy.

“The Claw of Esdrael, the Pale Hand, the Finger of Desire…my current style of painting is becoming more and more similar to that of an orthodox necromancer.”

He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

 At this time.

The soul-calling magic circle that was still glowing flashed again.

  Matthew took a closer look.

 The person who comes is a rare complete soul!

 On the data column.

 …

"Reminder: The soul of the wild boar king Bottli responded to your call and is willing to be an undead signing with you!"

 …

 It is a wild boar.

Judging from the detailed information, Mr. Botley was a fat and strong white wild boar during his lifetime. He once occupied an underground lair and had a harem of several high-quality underground warthogs. However, he accidentally died in a certain underground den. Under the sneak attack of a goblin tribe.

When Bertili died, he was extremely angry and vowed to kill all the goblins in the world.

 He is not willing to sink into an ordinary undead person.

 So he has been wandering in the underworld with his obsession to this day.

 Matthew's eyes were filled with joy.

Although the Soul of the Wild Boar King is not as good as the Soul of the Divine Dragon, it is a good match with the Bone of the White Dragon.

 Are you really so lucky?

Just as Matthew had this thought in his mind, he saw a magic emblem slowly dispersing from the Wild Boar King's body.

Matthew has seen that magic emblem before.

 Spirit Touch Synagogue.

 That is the power of Viscount Fan.

"Thanks."

 He shouted towards the soul-summoning circle.

 Vaguely.

 He seemed to see a cartoon-like smiling face, but it quickly dissipated.

Without further ado.

Matthew immediately recited the incantation and signed a preliminary treaty with the soul of the Wild Boar King, and then started the fusion ceremony.

 Integration rituals are not difficult.

Because the white dragon skeleton is an ownerless thing, although the spirit on it will repel the soul of the Wild Boar King, this repelling power is quite weak.

 It didn’t take long.

Matthew successfully completed this step.

　　Just when the soul of the Wild Boar King was tossing back and forth in the white dragon's skeleton.

 He glanced at the water glass placed aside.

This water cup and the water in the water cup correspond to the white dragon skeleton and the wild boar king's soul respectively in the fusion ceremony.

 The glass of water is full at the beginning of the ceremony.

 In the process of fusion, more or less water will seep out.

 This can, to some extent, reflect the degree of matching between the soul and the skeleton.

 Matthew went over and took a look.

Soon his face showed surprise.

 The water in the cup actually only spilled a little bit!

“9.5% fitness level!”

“According to this scale, the soul of Bethel, the wild boar king, and the skeleton of the white dragon are simply a match made in heaven!”

 Matthew strikes while the iron is hot.

 At the moment, he wrapped the head of the bone dragon in the chest cavity with two volumes of magic writing.

The two volumes of magic texts are the necromancy texts and the transfiguration texts respectively.

 The so-called Si Wen.

  It is a type of magic material that is extremely common when casting spells or abilities of level 5 or above.

  The three categories of items, Siwen, crystal clusters and amber, can basically cover a high-level mage’s choice of casting materials.

 Compared to crystal clusters, they are mostly used for spells in the fields of energy evocation and enchantment.

 Si Wen is more versatile.

Common magic fields have corresponding magic texts.

 From a qualitative point of view.

Si Wen is actually an alienated version of the scroll.

 Its appearance is a roll of silk, and when unfolded, it is a combination of a large amount of high-purity magic materials and preheating spells.

 One roll of Si Wen can usually cast 3 to 5 fifth-level spells.

It is far more difficult to make than a scroll.

 Coupled with the scarcity of raw silk.

 The price of Si Wen is also very expensive.

 The financial resources of a senior mage can be roughly inferred by the number and quality of Si Wen he holds.

 Matthew's financial situation is stronger than that of an ordinary necromancer.

  But among the senior mage group, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

 After buying these two volumes of Si Wen.

 His pocket became a little shy.

It can be seen that making money is never-ending.

 “I hope I can succeed the first time!”

He silently felt the restless soul fluctuations of Bethel, the wild boar king, and after soothing him for half a minute, he entered the final step of making the bone dragon!

 Light the soul fire.

 Reshape the dead body.

As Matthew's chanting slowly echoed in the valley.

 Suddenly a gust of wind nourishing the soul fire blew in the sky.

 Follow.

The Boar King's howl echoed in the valley.

Magic writing begins quickly.

 A large number of domain elements revolve around the bone dragon at high speed.

 A little fire quickly lit up inside the huge head of the white dragon's skeleton.

 Then the fire started burning brightly.

 It turned into a ball of extremely bright soul fire!

 “Woo…”

 The huge skeleton began to move.

Matthew looked at the data column with joy.

 …

 Hint: You successfully made the first Skull Dragon!

 You have thus gained the opportunity to enter the realm of bone dragons. Do you want to explore now?

 Consuming one contract slot, you successfully signed a contract with the bone dragon you just made.

 Please name this bone dragon!

 The naming was successful!

 You have obtained a new summon - the bone dragon "Wild Boar King"!

 Some information about the Wild Boar King—

Rock Barbs (Balanced Version): You can instantly cover your body with sharp rock barbs to protect yourself for a round. "

 …

I expect to take a day off on the 10th to catch my breath. My mental state has been getting worse and worse recently. I’m afraid it won’t work if I don’t take a break. I’ll try hard for two more days.
