A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 9: Warlock Camp

Chapter 9 Warlock Camp

…

"Rapid growth?"

Matthew looked happy.

This is also the Druid's signature spell.

The "growth green sap" he used to plant trees before is the potionization of this spell.

Because it has been chemically treated.

So the effect will be discounted.

If you can master this spell proficiently.

His ability in planting trees will be comparable to that of a real druid!

…

"Wild transformation and rapid growth are both Druid's signatures, so it seems that the rewards provided by the task of 'Maintenance is also very important' are all abilities on the Druid side?"

"No, maybe it has nothing to do with the task, but with the means of completing the task—whether it is dealing with the arsonist or the Scourge Church at a deeper level, blood will inevitably be seen."

"In this way, the mode of system rewards is the reverse operation? Planting trees, a peaceful act of loving nature, is given to the bone dragon of the necromantic system, while the rewards involved in killing and confrontation have become the druid side. of?"

…

Matthew thought with great interest.

Currently, the sample size is small, which is not enough for the following conclusions.

But this does not prevent him from making bold assumptions.

He glanced at the bottom of the task bar.

Taiji symbols have new changes—

The green light spot on the left has completely exceeded 2/3.

Not far from full charge.

Just don't know what will happen when it's full.

It is worth mentioning the right side.

The gray spots are still very light though.

But compared with the previous state of a pool of stagnant water, it is much better.

Matthew has sharp eyes.

He could see the gray dot at the bottom trying to surge upward.

Whoosh!

The light spot rushed to the 1/3 position in one breath.

…

"The Heart of Nature and the Way of the Necromancer."

Matthew guesses.

The rapid increase of gray light spots should be related to tonight's battle.

The operating mechanism behind it has yet to be explored.

But not now.

Near the farm.

Someone has discovered the disaster here.

People came from the town and the countryside one after another.

Matthew led the team back to the oak forest.

He sends the skeletons back into the burrow.

Then said to Peggy:

"I have to trouble you to walk back by yourself."

Peggy exclaimed:

"It's so dark, let me walk alone at night? People will be scared!"

Matthew coughed:

"Then shall I summon another skeleton to accompany you?"

Peggy bitterly said:

"If I don't pay overtime pay and I have to walk home by myself, the conscience of your necromancers is indeed completely corroded by negative energy!"

Matthew's hand:

"The time for reverse summoning has passed, and I'm not a very capable person. You have to be considerate of me, Peggy."

Peggy softened her heart:

"Okay, okay, I'll go back alone, but next time I work the night shift, you have to give me at least one "soul crystal". When we signed the contract, what you said was hype..."

Send away the chattering tauren skeleton.

Matthew looks north.

The ghost of the merchant mentioned the chaos in the Hag's Keep.

Combine the content in the secret message.

Even if the stronghold of the Scourge is not in the Hag's Castle, it should be nearby.

Time is running out.

Matthew intends to root out the threat as quickly as possible.

So he jumped.

Hoo!

A raven flits across a branch under a moonlit night.

Heading towards the northeast.

…

"The divination result is out, the enemy's position has been determined, and it is in a valley near the Hag's Castle."

In the main hall.

A heavily armed middle-aged man with a thin face patrolled the surroundings calmly.

Some of the people present were stung by his scorching gaze, and moved their heads unnaturally.

Some people excitedly raised their heads to meet each other's gaze.

They longed for a chance to gain the approval of the Lord of the Blood Banner.

"Brad and Ann, each of you lead a team to outflank the area from the southwest. Be fast and be careful in ambush!"

"Mr. Zeller, please continue to contact the senior mages in White Rock City or Strom City. If anyone is willing to help, no matter what the conditions, agree to him!"

"As I expected, our enemies are not robbers and robbers who are dazzled by money at all, they are a group of lunatics, scum and heretics!

As I said before, the Blood Banner family will never compromise with such evil scum, and your task may be to kill every villain you see.

That's all. "

In the quiet hall.

The Lord of the Blood Banner's voice resounded everywhere.

Strict and tough orders came down one after another.

Those who received specific tasks were all overjoyed.

can be gradually.

Some people also had doubts on their faces.

"My lord, will our radical move irritate the other party? After all, Miss Sif is indeed in their hands."

An unusually handsome young man in a robe spoke.

This also revealed the doubts of other people present.

The Blood Banner family is indeed known for its tough attitude towards enemies.

But now the question is.

Missy is in the hands of those villains!

Follow the practice of the Blood Banner Lord.

Sif's survival rate is probably appallingly low.

Everyone stared at the Lord of the Blood Banner in puzzlement.

The latter said coldly:

"It is precisely because Sif is in their hands that we have to do this."

He didn't explain much.

Instead, he said to the handsome man:

"Mr. Zeller, in addition to contacting the senior mage, please also pay attention to the clues we found before. Sif cannot be kidnapped out of thin air—you should understand what I mean."

Zeller nodded solemnly.

"Everyone, please act, use your fastest speed, use your strongest strength, please!"

The Lord of the Blood Banner waved his hand.

The people in the lord's hall gradually dispersed.

at last.

Only Lord Blood Banner was left alone.

He paces to a window.

not long.

An owl flew in.

"To be honest, I don't really understand the men in your Blood Banner family. They are clearly worried that their daughter will die, but they have to make decisions that may endanger her."

Owl spoke suspiciously.

The Blood Banner Lord took a deep breath:

"In front of everyone, my identity will always be the Patriarch of the Blood Banner, nothing else.

Every word I say speaks for the family.

And the Blood Banner family will never compromise with evil.

This is our motto. "

The owl is even more puzzled:

"Then why did you call me here?"

The Lord of the Blood Banner said:

"I knew you would become a giant eagle."

Owl nods:

"yes."

"Take me to the Hag's Fort. The favor you owed me at the beginning will be written off."

The Lord of the Blood Banner said decisively.

Owl thought for a while.

nodded and said:

"Can."

"But it seems that the head of the Blood Banner family shouldn't risk his life."

The Lord of the Blood Banner clenched the sword around his waist when he heard the words:

"Now, I am Sif's father."

…

After one hour.

The raven flew over the barren hills under the moonlit night.

Occasionally, one or two ghostly screams could be heard in the distance.

The Hag's Castle stands on the high point of the barren hills.

The fog around it lingers all year round.

Even if the moon hangs high tonight.

Matthew could only vaguely catch a glimpse of the outline of the castle.

Gazing at the mountain fog.

He feels bad.

It was as if there was always a pair of gloomy eyes staring at him in the fog.

…

"It is said that before the ancient castle was abandoned, it was the former residence of a human hero. Tell me what happened."

"It's not that no one has explored it later, but the adventurers who dared to break into the gate of the ancient castle failed to come out in the end. They seemed to be swallowed by the fog."

"The last time someone explored the castle was a well-known necromancer in Baiyan City. He didn't know where he got the news, and he publicly declared that the 'law of immortality' was hidden in the castle, and he insisted on entering it.

The last necromancer did not become an exception.

And when he was exploring the old castle, he once had a fierce battle outside the gate with a group of monsters from the lower world, the "old hags", so the old castle was also called "Hitch Castle". "

…

He recalled the words he had chatted with Brad in his mind.

Matthew suddenly felt a chilling feeling.

Perception told him.

This old castle is not something that I can explore now.

Fortunately, his destination tonight is not in the Hag Fort.

bypassed the weird fog.

The raven leans westward.

Not for a while.

Scattered fires lit up halfway up the mountainside of the barren hills ahead.

It was a valley with a dangerous terrain.

Taniguchi is guarded.

However, the attitude of the guards seems rather loose.

Matthew lowered the height naturally.

By the way, he glanced at the taskbar.

…

「The quest progress has been updated: You discovered the 'Warlock Camp'!」

…

Matthew did not fly in hastily.

The task target is a warlock.

This class usually has a very high perception.

A sudden appearance of a raven can easily startle a snake.

He flew low around the mouth of the valley, and skillfully stopped in the bushes beside the mountain road.

"There has been a fight here, and more than one."

There are many bones on the mountain road.

There are human beings.

There are also smaller humanoids.

—It's a "lizard monster"!

Matthew made a judgment based on his own 'knowledge'.

"The wilderness is convenience. For necromancers, the corpse of an owner is naturally a place for the virtuous..."

He decisively changed back to human form and began to summon skeletons.

The sound of incantations and Matthew's magic power injected a ray of mystery into the messy pile of corpses under the moonlit night.

Skeletons stood up from the pool of blood one by one.

Their state is very ordinary - the soul fire in the skull is on and off, and the bones on the body are even more scattered. Some are a mixture of lizard monsters and humans, which look very weird and terrifying.

This is the lowest-level cannon fodder skeleton.

It is incomparable with the elite group that Matthew hid in the cellar.

But enough to scare the layman.

…

The obvious magical fluctuations of the summoning of the dead quickly attracted the attention of the camp.

A fat man over two meters tall moved over surrounded by a group of minions.

He was covered in heavy armor.

Behind him, there were two teams of people holding a huge battle ax and a meteor hammer for him respectively.

"Hey! Necromancer? What are you doing?"

The fat man stared at Matthew rather apprehensively.

Matthew is still summoning skeletons on his own:

"Don't have eyes? I am giving these dead souls a new life."

The fat man sullenly said:

"They are my people! Even if they die, they are still my corpse!"

Matthew said arrogantly:

"Not anymore."

boom!

The fat man stamped his feet angrily.

There was a faint shaking on the already loose mountain road.

"You want to be my enemy?"

Matthew stared at each other with a half-smile:

"Your body fat can refine a lot of corpse oil, but I won't consider making you my servant, because your skeleton must have been worn out to support your body during your lifetime. I don't like defective products."

"kill him!"

Seeing that the fat man was about to make a move.

Suddenly a majestic voice came from the camp:

"enough!"

Fat man is shaking all over his body with anger:

"Fin, you asked me to kill him! How dare he laugh at my figure! No one dares to do that!"

However, the little minions beside him quickly dispersed.

A man in a silver robe appeared in front of Matthew.

He looks to be in his thirties, blond and blue-eyed, with a good appearance, and looks like a decent person in temperament.

"Tell me why you came, Necromancer, or don't blame us for doing it."

Fin looked down at Matthew.

"Are you Finn?"
