A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 73 Can I touch your one?

  …

   Not in a spacious hotel room.

  As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lumière began to regret it. He just didn't understand the outside world, and he wasn't really ignorant of world affairs.

  He hastened to explain:

   "No, I didn't mean that, I just don't know how to express in common language, don't get me wrong."

   As he spoke, he uttered a few words in aboriginal language.

   "In short, Matthew is normal, lady, you can rest assured."

   Lumiere specifically emphasized to Bobo—

  In his view, the two of them shared a room at night, so there must be a close relationship.

  Bobo's eyes lit up when he heard the words:

   "Can you tell I'm a lady?"

  Seeing that the topic had been changed, Lumiere immediately said with a smile:

   "It's obvious."

  Bobo proudly raised his chest and looked at Matthew:

   "Look, it's not my problem that someone's blindness is there. There are still a lot of discerning people in this world."

  Matthew smiled wryly.

  His perception is actually quite sharp, but it is naturally not comparable to a fifth-order boss like Lumiere.

   At the moment, he exchanged a few words with Lumiere.

  During the conversation, Lumiere had an idea, and said that he had driven for a day and his stomach was empty, and hoped that the two of them could get him something to eat.

  Seeing the darkness of the night, Matthew estimated that Lumiere would not be able to find another place to live for a while, so he looked at Bobo with a consulting look.

  Because of being able to accurately identify her own female features, Popo's impression of Lumière has been greatly changed.

  She nodded coolly at Matthew.

  The next moment, Matthew smiled and led Lumiere into his private room.

   After the two went in, they didn't come out for a long time.

   Only Bobo, who was woken up in the middle of the night and lost sleepiness, was bored, so he had to wipe his armor again and again.

  …

  The next morning.

  Matthew calmly walked into a magic supply store in the North Trading District.

  He wants to add some supplies for the trip to Dalong Lake, the most critical of which is the "underwater breathing potion".

  After drinking this potion, the user will form two pairs of gills on the skin on both sides of the neck, thus gaining the ability to breathe freely underwater.

  Aquabreathing potion is a kind of potion that is widely used and spread. Although the production habits and processes are different in different places, the effect is often the same.

  Matthew is not worried that he can't buy good potions, but that the price will be too expensive.

  The activity funds on hand are far from enough to be squandered at will.

  However, when Matthew walked around this store named "Desert Light", he almost couldn't hold back the excitement and joy in his heart!

  He came to the counter and asked calmly:

   "How to sell underwater breathing medicine?"

  The store proprietress is a hobgoblin wearing a pince-nez and knitting.

  Her figure is much taller than ordinary goblins, but still only about 2/3 of a human.

  Hearing Matthew's question, she immediately put down the woolen rack, and introduced very gently:

   "A set of 12 gold coins, it is written on the label."

  Her lingua franca is very standard, except for her appearance, she seems to be no different from a human female.

  Matthew pretended to be casual and asked:

   "12 gold coins? Why is this price?"

  The female hobgoblin replied slowly:

   "Do customers think it's expensive? This is already the result of the price reduction. Underwater breathing potions have always had a stable market, not to mention that they come from the hands of deep sea naga, and their quality is trustworthy.

  To tell you the truth, the price of this potion was originally going to be raised—the Nagas had always thought that they were selling it too cheaply, but as soon as they proposed the idea of ​​raising the price, civil strife broke out within themselves.

   It is said that it was because of jealousy, and the object was an incredible poet.

   This is good, the magic craftsmen of the Naga tribe have also been divided into several factions, and there is no way to increase the price.

   And in order to seize the market, our store also lowered some prices yesterday.

   I can give you a discount if you can buy more.

  The discount is not much, just to express our gratitude to you for supporting the "Eternal Night" tribe. "

  Matthew took an underwater breathing potion from the shelf, and found that the label of the "Eternal Night" tribe was indeed on the back.

   At this time, his heart suddenly became clear.

"No wonder it's so cheap. It turns out that foreign products have flooded into the market. The monopoly of mages and a small number of alchemists has been destroyed. Naga's products are not only cheap but also effective. Local mages probably won't be able to eat this bowl at all. It's time for dinner."

   "Also, how can I hear about Lorraine wherever I go?"

   Matthew was amused.

  He pondered in his mind for a while, then with a big wave of his hand, he bought 20 sets of underwater breathing potions, and 10 sets of "Frogman Potions" that cost 18 gold coins and were more effective.

   In this way.

  The cash on him is only more than 100 gold left.

  But Matthew didn't panic at all.

   You only need to transport this batch of potions to the big cities near Rolling Stone Town: White Rock City, Jade Cangting, Rapids City...anywhere can sell for more than 8 times the price!

  This profit is too exaggerated.

   Matthew can't wait to build a portal in Kordo City, running back and forth every day!

  But the portal is obviously unrealistic, and the cost of ultra-long-distance transmission can easily wipe out the profits of the running business.

  The idea of ​​running a business seems to be only a fantasy.

   "Wait, it's not completely impossible. I can find a safe spot in the wild and build a shrine for the Moonlight Goddess."

  Matthew pondered over possible strategies.

  In his opinion, the Moon Obscure Forest is actually a springboard for long-distance freight with great potential.

   It's a pity that the southernmost point of Assia's divine power has not yet reached Zeshui City.

A high-level favored person like Ayla can return to the Moon Obscure Forest under the moonlight at any place in the main material world, but being able to go back does not mean that he can return. If there is no shrine, altar, etc. as coordinate anchors, return to Moonlight in the Moonglade is destined to be just a one-way ticket.

  Matthew seriously considered the feasibility of building a shrine in Kordo City.

  The geographical location of Cordo City is actually very superior.

  It is the central section of the North Shore of the Gold Coast, and there is a large flow of people both at sea and on land.

   At the same time, it is located in the center of the four terrains—

   To the north are mountains, the mountains are El Kaohsiung Peak and the Millennium Mountains. The latter is a natural barrier that spreads for nearly a thousand miles, cutting the vast land in the south into east and west.

The Millennium Mountain Range is a dangerous place that can make many advanced adventurers hate. In addition to the terrifying and dangerous terrain factors, the mountains are unevenly distributed with eagles, air elements, mountain giants, green-footed dragon snakes, salamanders, ghosts, The habitat of red-robed monsters, etc., is said to have active traces of Lich and Twilight Creation, in short, it is very dangerous;

  The sea is to the south, and the sea is the Alune Sea. The port of Kordo City is very large, which is very suitable for doing business with Naga, the overlord of the deep sea;

  The east is the rain forest, which is dominated by the Jango people;

The west is the endless poplar desert, and there are a lot of oases in it. These oases feed 99% of the desert population. Merchants in Kordo City are willing to go to the oasis to do business, but later someone claimed that the poplar desert lives With an adult blue dragon, he always likes to block the road and rob.

   Gradually, the commercial road that traversed the desert and connected to the oasis fell into disrepair.

   Not to mention the highway along the coastline, the geographical advantages of Kordo City are already on paper.

   "When Ella comes back from her long rest in the Obscure Moon Forest this time, ask her about how to support the shrine!"

  Matthew secretly made up his mind.

  Thoughts are set.

   While the goblin proprietress was packing the goods, Matthew asked casually:

   "Are you knitting sweaters for your family? But the weather in Kordo City is so hot, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear them?"

  The other party replied with a smile:

"My son Quint served as a vanguard for the Black Dragon Lord in the extremely frozen city underground in the north. I haven't seen him for many years. I received a letter from him this year, saying that he has a child. My husband and I plan to save a year." A sum of money, so I can go and visit them."

   “This sweater is knitted for my grandson, whom I haven’t met yet, and for this purpose, I learned some superb techniques from the Sioux next door.”

  Matthew took the packaged item box and after confirming that it was correct, he greeted the proprietress and left.

   It can be seen that hobgoblins have lived in human society for a long time, and they have basically been assimilated. What humans value, they also cherish, and human customs have gradually become their customs.

   Dealing with them can indeed ignore their race to a certain extent.

   Leave the store.

   Lumière followed immediately.

  After barely fooling around last night, Lumière has been thinking about excuses.

   Until now, his thoughts were finally cleared up. He decided to stay with Matthew first, and after gaining the trust of the other party, he would find a way to lure him back to the rainforest without disturbing the other party.

   Then he said to Matthew:

   "Since I entered the advanced stage, my legendary path has also opened.

  My instinct told me it was outside the rainforest, so I left the rainforest.

   It’s just that I’m too unfamiliar with the outside world, and the smell on your body just happened to impress me, so I walked over without knowing it.

  I actually don’t know what to do next. I’m full of curiosity and a little fear of the outside world. Maybe this is the adaptation period.

  Matthew, if possible, can I be by your side during this time?

  Don't worry, I won't live for free, I'm very capable, you can ask me to do anything. "

  After hearing this, Matthew showed regret:

   "So that's the case? Lumiere, I'm happy to help you. But unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk with you for the next period of time."

   Lumiere asked in a voice:

"Why!?"

  Matthew said with great regret:

   "Because I'm going into the rainforest next, and your legendary way is outside the rainforest, I'm afraid we have to part ways."

   As he spoke, he walked towards the hotel.

   Only Lumière was left dumbfounded.

  …

  Back to the guest room, Matthew smelled a burning smell.

  Looking down, the little dwarf was sitting on the floor and meticulously playing with a brick.

   "Where did you get the bricks?"

  Matthew asked curiously.

   "When the artificer is injecting items, it's best not to distract him, so as not to cause an explosion tragedy."

  Bobo didn't raise his head, and his tone was cold.

after awhile.

   When Matthew saw the brick start to glow red crazily, his eyelids twitched, and he was about to back away. Fortunately, the red light subsided after a short while, but there was an irritable smell inside the brick.

  …

  「Hint: Your artificer buddy Popo successfully made a brick bomb!」

  …

  Matthew's complexion changed:

   "Are you making a bomb?"

  Bobo snorted softly:

"if not?"

   "I can't just go out and take risks with a bomb on my back, that would be too insecure. How can an artificer be so perfunctory when he goes out?"

  Matthew said in a deep voice:

   "You promised me that you would not blow up the tomb!"

  Bobo looked at him suspiciously:

"Yeah!"

   "But what about the periphery, the tomb passage, and the monsters that don't open their eyes, don't you use bombs?"

  Matthew rubbed his temples, he suddenly understood Yu Lian's performance yesterday.

   "Bombs are not impossible to use, but there are not so many occasions where they are used."

  As if coaxing a child, he said softly:

   "My summons and spells are enough to deal with most situations, not to mention that we have reinforcements. The man you saw yesterday, although his behavior is a bit weird, is actually not bad, and his strength is also very strong."

   "Just take this brick, there is no need to make more."

  Hearing this, the expression on Bobo's face remained unchanged, but two antennas suddenly erected on both sides of the helmet, and a slight red light flickered at the top of the antennas.

"What does it mean?"

  Matthew stared at the antenna.

   "It means very happy."

   Bobo replied coldly.

   Immediately, her voice was a little shy again:

   "If you promise me one thing, I can change the happy red light into a more happy yellow light."

   Matthew asks:

"What's up?"

   "Can I touch that one of yours?"

  Bobo raised his head, widening his longing eyes.

  She pointed to Matthew's right hand and said:

   "It's this glove. I can feel the wonderful power it exudes. There is a kind of terror that destroys everything, and it's exciting. Let me touch it, and I won't care about it with you."

  Matthew realized that it was the negative energy emitted by the pale hand that eroded part of the glove.

  In the eyes of artificers, everything can be infused, and item infusion is their most basic professional ability.

  Each item will produce different reactions after being infused, and of course the most common ones are explosions.

  If what Bobo wants is ordinary things, that's all. This glove is a first-class dangerous item.

  So Matthew shook his head and refused:

   "Sorry, this glove is related to my privacy, so I can't give it to you."

"oh."

  Bobo's little face immediately collapsed, and the red light on the antenna became even more dazzling.

  Seeing this, Matthew hurriedly took out a biscuit from his bag and handed it over: "Why don't you try this?"

  Bobo glanced at the biscuit with some disdain, but still took it.

  She put the biscuit in the palm of her hand, and after a slight arcane fluctuation, a burst of blue light appeared on the biscuit!

  …

  「Hint: Your artificer partner Popo has item-infused the biscuit.

  Bobo successfully made a magic biscuit (20% of the mana value will be restored instantly after taking it, and the mana standard is taken from the average value of the third-order mage)”

  …

  Cookies that instantly return to blue?

   Matthew was stunned.

  Bobo put the biscuit in his palm and asked Matthew with a blank expression:

   "Want it?"

  Matthew nodded.

   click.

  She stuffed the biscuit into her mouth very quickly, chewed it, and provocatively said:

   "No more!"

  Matthew was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed helplessly.

  …

  「Hint: You have seen through Bobo's trick of "Crossing the Sky", and you found that Bobo has hidden the real magic biscuit in her palm."

  …

  Matthew didn't ask for the cookie.

  He knew that although Bobo's thinking was unique, she was not someone who couldn't communicate. If there was a need along the way, she would definitely be willing to show it.

  The two prepared for a while.

   Lumière arrived late.

  He found Matthew with a troubled face:

   "Um, Matthew, I think I may have misremembered, my legendary way seems to be in the rainforest."

   Matthew, who has long seen all kinds of abnormalities in Lumiere, cuts to the chase:

   "Did the soul of the rainforest send you to find me?"

  Lumiere paled with fright, but soon he said with relief:

   "You guessed it yourself, so you can't blame me, right? It is indeed a task assigned by the soul of the rainforest, and I can't understand it."

   Then he described in detail the mission he received from Flying Squirrel.

  Matthew smiled after listening:

   "It's okay, just stay by my side."

  No matter what the spirit of the rain forest thinks.

   Right now, Matthew is going to the dangerous Dalong Lake to rob graves—no, looking for an opportunity to advance, how can there be no reason not to accept the fifth-level macho who comes to his door?

  …

   After lunch, the group of three left Cordo City and headed towards the rainforest.

   When they left Kordo City, they also encountered a few hooligans with bad faces.

  Unfortunately, before they got close, Bobo punched him with a lightning gauntlet, sending them flying horizontally.

  Many people present saw this scene.

  So the follow-up journey becomes very comfortable.

   Nothing happened until entering the rainforest.

   And it is safer to enter the rainforest.

  Lumiere is a real son of the rainforest, and the "Suya's joy" in Matthew has not yet expired.

  The two go hand in hand.

   Let Bobo forcefully give birth to the illusion that this rainforest is quite safe.

   After a day and a half.

  A group of people arrived at the bank of Dalong Lake.

  However, before approaching, Lumière said solemnly:

   "There are sounds of fighting!"

  The three walked forward quietly.

   Not long after, two groups of people were found fighting by the Dalong Lake.

   There are forty or fifty of these people in total, all of them are not low-level, and none of them look like good people.

   "It's the Wind and Sand Thieves and the Scourge!"

  Among the three, Bobo has the most information.

  She excitedly took out the big bomb in her backpack:

   "How do you say, do you want to persuade a fight?"

   Matthew shook his head.

  He led the two of them around the main battlefield where the two sides were fighting, and approached the shore of Dalong Lake from another angle.

   Then he took out three frogman potions, indicating that he was ready to enter the water.

Both Lumière and Matthew took the potion, and soon, gills grew on their necks, and the strength of their legs was also greatly strengthened. They only needed to kick lightly in the water, and they could jump out for a long time. Far!

   Only Bobo refused to take the medicine.

  She jumped to the shore, jumped, and with a bang, she quickly sank into the water like an iron lump.

  The two of Matthew quickly followed.

   After entering the water, the two got used to it for a while, only to find that Bobo had disappeared.

   After a while.

   A strong current suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the water.

  Matthew took a closer look.

   But Bobo's helmet had an extra glass cover at some point.

  Her steel boots, which looked heavy, were blowing backwards.

  She hooked her fingers from the two of Matthew, and sank down with a slam.

  The two quickly followed.

   However, the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

  The swimming speed provided by the frogman potion is already amazing.

   Kebobo is like a high-speed torpedo in the water!

   At the end, probably thinking that the two of them were swimming too slowly, Bobo floated up from the bottom of the water again, then grabbed the clothes around the necks of the two big men, and sank down suddenly.

A few minutes later.

   They came to the bottom of Dalong Lake.

   Far away, Matthew saw a huge statue. The bottom of the statue was covered by a large amount of white sand, and the top was covered with water plants.

  The statue is holding a sword in its left hand and a talisman in its right hand. Its facial features also conform to the image of the Sioux people.

  …

  「Hint: You found the underwater statue of King Ming Tan, knowledge (giant/Sioux) +10;

  Aesthetic +10」

  …

   "It's here, that's right."

  Matthew circled the statue three times and successfully found a secret door at the base.

  He took out the defensive poem, and activated the spell to decipher the secret door recorded above.

   It was beyond his expectations.

  The secret door was instantly unlocked.

  The three looked at each other, and Matthew walked in first.

  After passing through the secret door.

  The feeling of wetness and heavy water pressure disappears instantly.

   What unfolded in front of Matthew was a huge underground square.

   In the center of the square, there is a stone tablet with densely packed tadpole characters.

   Behind the stele, there are more than a dozen smaller stones engraved with carvings and paintings.

  Matthew walked over and subconsciously put his hand on the stele.

   A surge of information broke into his mind.

  …

  「Reminder: You have obtained the inheritance of the Way of Balance, do you want to continue?」

  …

   I was a little tired after finishing the chapter yesterday. I was a few minutes late. I am correcting the typos now. Sorry, please ask for a monthly ticket.

  (end of this chapter)
