A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 402: Do you want some more?

Chapter 402 Do you want some more?

…

The plane of negative energy.

The land of six rings.

Valley of the Kings.

The dark moon rises high into the sky, casting a bright and flawless silver light.

The valley seemed to be covered with a silver carpet.

The carpet spreads deep.

When it comes to a certain shadow, it suddenly disappears.

Matthew flew over and stopped steadily about two or three meters above the shadow.

In the shadow.

A large amount of violent negative energy is rolling violently, and lightning and thunder can still be vaguely seen.

The soil near the shadow shows signs of slight corrosion.

From time to time, you can see some acid splashing out from it, eating away a large piece of the mountain or rock.

Except for bone pigeons.

The undead are hiding far away.

Their spirituality is limited. They only know that the great immortal king is sleeping, and they dare not get close at all!

Matthew did not approach the shadow easily.

He felt the power of the realm, which was Xiaobo's self-protection during his transformation.

Even Matthew, if he gets close easily, may cause a rebound in the field itself.

Equilibrium perception starts.

His gaze became deeper, with deeper perceptions.

Matthew finally saw Xiao Fei’s current situation clearly—

The huge ghost bone dragon is now lying on the ground sickly, the soul fire in its pupils is beating lightly, as if it may be extinguished at any time.

Black smoke was emitting from his belly. Through the black smoke, Matthew could see a lot of flames, molten iron that seemed to be molten metal, and some hot juice.

Part of the juice splashed out from the gaps between his bones, creating the bumpy ground outside the shadow.

Matthew can sense it.

Pheloleus seemed to have a huge furnace in his belly.

　　He seemed to have suddenly transformed from a ghost bone dragon into a small movable volcano!

　　Gurgling grunting!

Philaeus's abdomen made strange sounds.

　　followed by.

A large amount of smelly gas came out from between the bones.

Matthew quickly retreated to windward.

But even so.

He also smelled a strong smell of sulfur.

For a moment.

Matthew’s head is even a little dizzy!

“It’s so toxic…”

“The bone pigeon said he had a bad stomach, but his assessment was accurate.”

Matthew thought to himself.

He called the little thing over:

“How did your master become what he is now?”

The Bone Pigeon didn’t show any stage fright, and immediately screamed:

"A few days ago, a young and energetic black knight came nearby, which made the master very unhappy. He wanted to use the excuse of patrolling the territory to cause trouble for the black knight, but I don't know if the news was leaked. The master brought When the team was traveling, they didn’t bump into the black knight at all.”

"However, this inspection also had an unexpected surprise. We discovered a huge sulfur mine in a hidden cave not far from here. For the undead, sulfur is also a good nutritional supplement. The owner immediately I ate half a seat like crazy.”

“This was no problem at first, but when he was eating, he discovered that there was an associated chromium gold mine deeper in the sulfur mine!”

“I advised him not to worry, and to take it home and smelt it before eating it, but the owner seemed a little impatient, and he ate all the chrome gold ore in one go.”

“He seemed fine after eating for a while, and walked back to the valley by himself.”

“But just when he was sleeping soundly, I suddenly discovered that all the black feathers on his body had fallen out, and the row of feathers that grew out turned out to be silver, as if they were made of silver..."

Matthew listened to the Bone Pigeon’s narration while comparing the traces left on the data column.

Probably figured out the reason for Xiao Bo's promotion.

"He was already on the verge of promotion. High-purity sulfur ore is a super tonic for the immortal king. He entered the promotion state after swallowing it in one breath. The chrome gold ore was just an accident. What was added was his evolution. Directional variables…”

Matthew observed.

Xiao Fei probably voluntarily gave up his flying ability and certain mobility, and chose to enhance his defense capabilities through chromium-plated bone armor.

If he could really convert the entire exoskeleton and feathers into chromium.

Then he will become an indestructible mobile fortress!

“Do you know that I thought he was fragile before?”

“Are you planning to develop into a super tank?”

Matthew was filled with joy.

It is true that he is not so lacking in the front row now, but who doesn't love a majestic summon like the Alloy Bone Dragon?

besides.

Xiao Bo's breath will also increase the damage of fire and poison given by the sulfur ore after being promoted successfully.

The range of the breath will also be expanded to three times the original size.

This will greatly improve Xiaobo’s attack efficiency and range!

“I gave all three key elements of Xiao Fei’s legendary way.”

“The level of practice of these two elements, loyalty and diligence, has far exceeded the minimum standards, and has long met the standards for promotion.”

“Currently only the keyword miracle is gray.”

“As long as a miracle can be guaranteed to happen, even if it is a smaller one, then Xiaobo’s promotion to Legend this time will definitely be a sure thing!”

Matthew’s mind was spinning very fast:

“How do you think you can create a small miracle on your master?”

He asked Bone Pigeon casually.

Although small things are not very reliable, there are still many crooked ideas.

But this time.

The Bone Pigeon did not answer him directly, but pointed in the direction of the valley.

Matthew looked up.

A lonely figure is looking at him in the distance with a humble attitude.

　　It is Symphran, the Banshee King.

Matthew glanced at Bone Pigeon, who lowered his head with some guilt.

“Let her come.”

Matthew said calmly.

The Banshee King flew over lightly:

“The resurrection of the Infernal Dragon from the dead is a miracle in itself.”

“Mr. Philolius is now at a critical point in his promotion. As long as he can successfully be promoted to legend, he will be even more powerful than before!”

"According to my experience, things related to his previous life may have a stimulating effect. This stimulation can release the potential in his soul and reappear some parts of the Infernal Dragon in this body, and then Meet the miracle criteria and complete the final promotion.”

Synphora showed enough sincerity as soon as she came up and told everything she knew in one breath.

Matthew muttered:

“Then what kind of things related to his previous life do you think can have the greatest stimulating effect?”

Sinfulan said without hesitation:

“Blood of the Demonic Dragon!”

“Feloleus was the King of the Demonic Dragons of Purgatory during his lifetime. The blood of the dragon itself contains memory and power. I think just one or two drops of the blood of the demonic dragon are enough to ensure the success of promotion.”

Matthew thought for a while:

“What about the blood of Baator?”

Sinfulan was stunned for a moment:

“Of course that’s more effective!”

“The blood of Kebato is the supreme bloodline of Purgatory, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with it.”

Matthew didn’t explain much, he just asked another question:

“Then is my blood of any use?”

Simphran came to him before.

It is suspected that Matthew and the Sun God are inextricably linked.

Matthew felt that he had a closer connection with the God of Death during this period.

No matter what.

He also realized that he seemed to be extraordinary.

“Might be useful.”

Sinfulan answered cautiously:

“But you have not made a **** now. Even if you give the blood of a god, it will lose its original effect due to the lack of spirituality in the blood.”

Matthew nodded.

He was just asking.

Although Xiao Fei's current situation looks scary, in fact, the process of transformation and promotion is very stable.

Even without external help.

He may just need more time to complete the promotion.

Matthew had always felt at ease with him.

Soon he turned his attention to the Banshee King Sinfulan:

“You asked the bone pigeon to come to me, right?”

Haven't waited for Sinfulan to answer.

Matthew looked directly at the bone pigeon:

“What benefits did you receive from her?”

The Bone Pigeon lowered his head and said calmly:

“It’s no good.”

Matthew sneered:

“Would you do something that is not beneficial?”

Bone Pigeon coughed:

“Does it count if she calls me little cutie?”

Matthew slapped him:

“If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll make you into bone meal!”

The bone pigeon was immediately frightened and howled:

"I just collected some soul crystals to send a message to this woman."

“And the master is indeed in trouble, so it’s reasonable for you to come and take care of me!”

Having said that.

His tone was unusually guilty.

Matthew continued the torture:

“How many soul crystals?”

The bone pigeon over there is still dawdling.

The Banshee King smiled happily and said:

“Not much, three kilograms.”

Gan!

So rich?

Matthew was extremely surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm.

He looked at the bone pigeon seriously:

“Those who see it have a share, so take it out and divide it.”

Bone Pigeon lowered his head and walked towards the valley next to him, and asked in fear:

“You don’t want half directly, do you?”

After saying this, he began to dig a hole in the ground.

Matthew sneered:

“Half of half!”

Bone Pigeon breathed a sigh of relief.

He accelerated the digging of the pit, and it was only when he saw the soul crystal at the bottom of the pit that Matthew said decisively:

“Half and half are for yourself!”

“Bring up whatever is left!”

The bone pigeon suddenly felt like mourning his heir.

But he still reluctantly handed over all the soul crystals to Matthew.

As promised, Matthew allocated 1/4 to the bone pigeon and kept another 1/4 in his pocket.

The remaining half of the soul crystal.

He threw them all into Xiao Fei's belly!

Looking at this scene, Gu Ge was heartbroken:

“Confused! Master of masters!”

“With Master’s strong physical condition, there is no need to feed soul crystals at all. Little cuties like me are the ones who need feeding the most!”

Matthew didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Of course he knew that the soul crystal's bonus to Xiao Fei was no longer great.

But Xiaofei is now at the juncture of becoming a legend, and Matthew must of course give him as much push as possible.

These soul crystals are just appetizers.

He hasn’t had time to prepare for the more important things!

Finish all this.

Matthew then turned his attention back to the Banshee King:

“You asked Bone Pigeon to come to me. Is something going to happen?”

“The ladder to the sky has appeared?”

Synphora, the Banshee King, mentioned before when she presented Matthew with the sickle of the God of Agriculture—

Once the number of kings in the land of six rings reaches six.

It will be possible to lower the ladder leading to the Five Rings.

Introduction, immortal kings will be forced to climb the ladder to heaven, and then encounter very terrible things.

"yes."

Sinfulan replied calmly:

“Recently, a very active black knight has appeared in the land of the Sixth Ring. He is holding a bare spear and wearing armor like an iron barrel. The mount on his crotch is also a strange horse hidden under the steel armor.”

“The black knight challenged more than a dozen small bosses one after another, with remarkable results.”

“I fought with him for two rounds and found that his strength is quite amazing and he definitely has the potential to be promoted to king. The demigod lich also tried to intercept him, but in the end the black knight escaped.”

“Once he becomes a promoted king, the ladder to heaven will come immediately, and he won’t be able to leave even if he wants to.”

Matthew looked at her thoughtfully:

“So you’ve made your decision?”

Sinfulan nodded:

"As long as your Excellency is willing to nod and agree, I will immediately give up my position as king and leave here with you."

Bone Pigeon interjected:

“Why should I call you Your Excellency? Just call me Master!”

The Banshee Queen seems a little shy.

However, she hesitated for a moment and still shouted out with difficulty:

"Owner…"

Matthew waved his hand:

“Don’t shout so urgently yet, I still have a few things to ask you.”

“Where is the dark general you mentioned before?”

“Is he leaving with you too?”

Sinfulan shook her head:

“He changed his mind.”

"Actually, the reason is very simple. After I leave, the position of king will be vacant. Even if the black knight is successfully promoted, there will only be five kings in the land of six rings, and nothing will happen immediately."

"My departure is equivalent to making room for the existence of other kings. Of course he has a reason to change his mind."

"But this is normal. Compared to others, I am less courageous, and who knows if other kings will be born besides the Black Knight?" Matthew nodded.

Then he chatted with Sinfulan about the current layout of the Sixth Ring Land.

The world of the undead is a completely independent existence from other planes.

There are unique operating rules here.

With a senior native like Sinfulan leading the way, Matthew's understanding of the Sixth Ring Land suddenly improved by several levels.

In addition, I have already accepted the emerald sickle from others.

Matthew finally took the Banshee King, who was also the immortal king, under his command.

Synphora's level is level 20.

After signing the contract, she told Matthew that due to congenital deficiencies, she would never be promoted to legend in this life.

This is also the fundamental reason why she is in a hurry to leave the Sixth Ring Land.

To her, being able to become a king by chance was already the pinnacle of immortality.

Staying any longer here will only lead to disaster.

Matthew didn’t think much of Synphora’s potential.

What he was interested in was Sinfulan's processing and management abilities.

After taking over Synphora this time.

Matthew had more than 300 more banshees under his command.

These banshees will follow Synphora out of the negative energy plane.

The new home that Matthew arranged for them is the cemetery in the sampan plane.

First of all, Matthew doesn’t trust Sinfulan enough;

Secondly, the cemetery at the base camp was indeed overcrowded;

Placing Synphora in the new cemetery will not only facilitate the assessment, but also give the former immortal king more room to display.

“Let’s see how well she can manage the sampan cemetery!”

“I have more and more cemeteries under my command, and I need to optimize the management structure later!”

Matthew thought so.

At present, the number of cemeteries under his control has reached four.

In addition to the Rolling Stone Town base camp.

There are also the Icefield Cemetery located in the Ancient Land, the Undersea Cemetery located in the Arun Inland Sea, and the newly established Sampan Cemetery.

With the dramatic expansion of the number of cemeteries and the undead.

Matthew does need more talents with rich management experience like Sinfulan.

…

Get settled with Synphora and the banshees.

Matthew immediately returned to Rolling Stone Base Camp Cemetery.

He talked with Ali for a while and learned about other recent events in the cemetery.

In general.

Ali did a pretty good job as a housekeeper.

The whole cemetery is in order.

Even the prisoners who were busy making hot glue looked very motivated.

According to Ali’s report.

Matthew learned that the number of cremators on the third floor had now reached a full one hundred and eighty-six.

Taking into account the fireman's super combat power.

This is already a very scary number.

Nearly two hundred undead who can throw fireballs formed a column.

When facing a bomb head-on, it can exert firepower comparable to 4 to 5 level 5 mages in a short period of time.

Unfortunately.

Just last week on Wednesday.

The flames in the Well of the Undertaker have gone out, which means that the well can no longer continue to produce elite undead like the Undertaker.

But after Matthew’s inspection.

He discovered that the ceremonial site at the Well of the Undertaker had not completely disappeared.

It seems that the disappearance of the fire in the well caused the overall silence of the ceremony place.

While Matthew was observing.

It was discovered that there were dancing flames and some special substances similar to carbon deposits at the bottom of the well.

It seems that just enough fuel is needed to keep igniting.

After testing.

Ordinary fuel and fire cannot relight the Well of the Pyromancer.

Matthew was not discouraged.

“When Oluolin wakes up, let him operate it, maybe he can activate this well a second time…”

He asked Ali to pay attention to the carbon deposits at the bottom of the well.

And continue to isolate the entrances and exits between the third floor and other floors.

After all, the nature of the cremator is too special. The living environment that makes them feel like a fish in water is, for other undead, a trap where they may die suddenly at any time.

Except for the Fire Burner and the Negative Energy Power Furnace.

The biggest change in the Cemetery Headquarters comes from the Skeleton Prince Lirik and the Skeleton Axeman led by him.

According to Ali statistics.

These days, the number of skeleton swordsmen and axemen Li Rick has trained has exceeded 2,000!

This is a very impressive number—

To know.

The combat effectiveness of a skeleton swordsman is almost three times that of an ordinary skeleton!

Matthew also noticed.

The soul fire of the skeleton sword and axe-hand is more solid, and he walks like a tiger with a strong wind. In terms of energy and spirit, he is completely different from ordinary skeletons.

Matthew could feel that there was an element of revenge in their soul fire.

This seems to have been artificially added by Li Rick through some kind of ceremony.

Matthew had no intention of intervening.

In fact.

This is what a regular necromancer does—

Hate is the cheapest motivational emotion for the undead.

This element can best stimulate the energy in the undead soul fire.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Necromancer’s fifth-level must-learn spells include a halo of hatred.

no matter what.

Skeleton Prince Liric is indeed impeccable in training his soldiers.

Each Skeleton Axeman was personally trained by him.

This means that a lot of effort and time must be spent.

Ali told Matthew.

Since settling on the fifth floor.

Liric was training soldiers day and night.

He divided the soldiers into four groups, and each group trained for six hours. After one group was trained, the other group came on top, but he himself did not rest at all!

For this kind of employees.

What could Matthew do but stand in awe?

Compare with Lyric.

Xiao Fei has to accept the defeat!

However, the Skeleton Prince’s contribution does not stop there—

Subsequently, Matthew obtained a very complex set of underground cave charts from Ali.

This set of charts includes all underground passages, caves, rivers and special terrain in the Gold Prospector Basin where the cemetery is located.

This set of maps was drawn by Li Rick when he led his army to cooperate with Eugene, the son of the forest, to defeat the devil.

Li Rick did not lie as expected.

He does have superb military talents and drawing talents.

Similar maps Matthew had seen in Rhaegar's office.

Also from the Gold Prospector Basin underground system.

But compared with the one drawn by Lyric, the one drawn by Rhaegar is too rough!

Except for the caves and terrain in Gold Digger's Basin.

He also recorded every entrance to the Underdark in detail!

With this map.

Matthew can be said to be able to travel underground unimpeded!

“Is there an extension?”

“Huh? According to the pattern of this map, the tunnel in the Gold Digger Basin turns from here to a secret passage in the northern cave. The end of the secret passage is actually the Jade Cangting Garden?!”

“Is there an underground cave here that extends to the north of Strom?”

“Is there such a tunnel?”

Matthew’s eyes were also opened.

Looking at those tunnels, his brain was working rapidly.

“These tunnels should be safer, right?”

Matthew asked casually.

Ali nodded:

“At least the underground caves in Gold Digger’s Basin are calm for now.”

"The underground races from the Underdark are all peaceful. Of course, the restless ones have died under Lord Orolin's fireball."

“Master, what do you want to do with these tunnels?”

Matthew replied:

“Open up business routes.”

"Look here, if this tunnel can lead a little further to the north, we can transport the goods directly underground to the Windward Valley of Jade Cangting. There is an entrance to the outer plane there, and it is now my territory. ”

Matthew’s eyes flickered.

In Aindo, there are no means of transporting large amounts of supplies over long distances, but most of them are very costly.

At present, the lowest cost and most efficient one is the Magic Hot Air Balloon of the Seven Saints Alliance.

However, the safety factor of hot air balloons is low. Once they are dropped or encounter extreme weather, they will not survive.

In fact, underground spaces are not safe either.

However, Oluolin was so brave that he just swept out a bright blue sky from the underground!

Matthew can occasionally use long-distance teleportation arrays when transporting summons or corpses.

But if everything uses teleportation array.

That cost is too high!

The simplest example.

The skeleton sword and ax wielders currently trained by Li Rick are seriously lacking in equipment!

The current forging system in Rolling Stone Town cannot even supply the armaments for Rhaegar's newly expanded Lord's Guard.

Let alone equip Matthew’s undead.

It just so happened that Matthew obtained tens of thousands of pieces of equipment in the sampan plane, many of which were complete sets of standard weapons and armor.

If you can transport these things back to the cemetery and arrange them for the undead.

The Skeleton Axeman's combat power can also be improved.

But how to transport this batch of equipment is also a very real problem.

It is too expensive to use the teleportation array directly;

Stuffing them all into the demiplane and bringing them back will be a serious squeeze on Matthew’s mental and mana;

The best way is to let the undead go over, put on the equipment yourself and then walk back!

But having so many skeletons strutting around on the ground can easily cause trouble.

It will be much better if it is authentic.

Especially as long as he can get through it at once, Matthew can order some elite undead to lead the team, and then form an undead caravan that travels between Windward Valley and Rolling Stone Town through the tunnel!

The skeletons can't carry much.

But their physical strength is almost unlimited!

Is there any other caravan that can be cheaper than the skeleton transport convoy?

Matthew described his thoughts to Ali.

Ali repeatedly expressed his approval.

He then added:

"This matter can also be left to Li Rick. He trains soldiers who have to trek long distances occasionally, and at most add some weight."

“But there are still some details that need to be dealt with in implementation.”

"The most critical point is that many tunnels are not easy to walk through. You can even crawl through some places. You also know the physical constitution of skeletons - our cemetery has sufficient negative energy spring water, and the physical constitution of skeletons is generally higher than that of wild ones. , but even so, it is difficult for them to pass through some difficult terrain. "

"It's okay to waste a little time. If it delays your business, that's not a good thing."

As soon as Matthew heard this, he knew that Ali must have a countermeasure.

as expected.

Ali continued:

“I suggest that you send someone to Duradin to buy two burrowing worms. These burrowing worms can open up tunnels and make them easier to pass through.”

“By the way, Duradin is a gray dwarf city located in the Underdark. Its location is approximately directly below the Emerald Cangting. Well, it’s right here on the map—

　　Li Rick and Red Flame Nightmare had some contact with the gray dwarves there when they went underground to explore the path.

The duergar of Duradin seem to admire your reputation and are very polite to Lyric.

Hence, I think it shouldn't be a problem to buy two Diggers. "

Matthew weighed it up.

Finally adopted Ali's proposal.

But he did not let Lyric, the Skeleton Prince, go to Duradin, the city of the gray dwarves.

Instead, this responsibility was assigned to "Justin the Male Demon"—

The latter, as a rare male banshee extracted by Matthew from the zombies in the troll underground palace, has recently been serving as the treasurer of the cemetery.

Matthew looked at it.

Justin has been doing well lately.

　　Then he handed over the procurement task to the other party, and then ordered Death Knight 47 to serve as Justin's deputy.

The two of them quickly headed to Duradin, the gray dwarf city.

Matthew then took care of the chores that had accumulated over time.

Wait until these trivial matters are taken care of.

　　It has become very dark.

Matthew hesitated for a moment and returned to Rolling Stone Town.

He entered the lord's mansion and found Sif.

“Can you give me a drop of your blood?”

Matthew was just about to explain the purpose of his request for blood.

It can be used in the next second.
