A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 94 The Truth

  …

  When the pair of sloping, slender dragon horns on the dragon head appeared in Matthew's field of vision, his first reaction was to be taken aback:

"Red Dragon?"

   No, not right.

   Soon, he realized that the dragon in front of him was far from the real red dragon.

  His head and horns resemble a red dragon, but below the neck, the painting style changes drastically. Under the fine and rough scales, this guy's bloated and short neck is almost integrated with his fat body.

  It is not difficult to see through the gaps of the collapsed buildings.

   This dragon almost became a flat meat ball!

  His frail forelimbs were completely buried in the fat pile on his chest, while his hind limbs were hidden in the building, making it hard to see clearly.

   Matthew immediately settled down.

   This is a standard sub-dragon with at least 1/4 of the blood of the red dragon. Judging from the appearance, it is likely to be a sub-dragon hybrid of the red dragon and the ground dragon.

   That is, a real fire dragon.

   This kind of monster is certainly not to be underestimated, but it is far from a real dragon.

  After the dragon chant.

  A large number of rainforest creatures were scared away.

  The head of the fire dragon hangs limply on the only remaining wooden shelf.

  His golden vertical pupils stared at Matthew and his party.

   Immediately after.

  A very majestic voice sounded in everyone's ears:

   "Help!"

   "Help me!"

  Matthew looked back at Bai.

  The Elf Warlock shrugged:

  "They never let me in here, they only said it was a secret place, but I heard Blinken mention that he caught a fire dragon and put it in for breeding."

   Breeding?

  Matthew looked at the fat Fire Dragon again.

  The latter cried out with snot and tears:

"That's right, Blinken's **** **** necromancer locked me in the desert for five full years, five years, do you know how I got here? Every day when I open my eyes, I eat, breed, eat, Breeding, I'm about to be driven crazy by him!"

"Don't look at me as fat. In fact, I wasn't fat at all before. I was flexible. It was because of Blinken's conspiracy and the pressure of breeding in recent years that I didn't manage my body shape well and became the ghost I am now. look!"

   "Everything is blamed on that **** Blinken! Well, you brave men can appear here, that **** Blinken must have been wiped out by you, right?"

  Matthew looked at him curiously:

   "You speak the common language fluently."

"Thanks."

  Earth Charmander responded politely:

"My name is Alutron. My grandfather is a powerful red dragon. My father is not good. He is just an earth dragon who only knows how to fight and heat. Fortunately, my mother who is a goblin is smart enough. Just in time to save my lineage, she made me wiser and more attractive—and you'll see when I'm down, I'm not bad looking."

   As he spoke, Aru stretched out five paws, trying to scratch his chin.

   As a result, because he was too fat, his claws couldn't reach him no matter what, Alu ran around in a hurry, and in the end it was Matthew who accurately shot five arcane missiles to relieve him of his urgent need.

  Matthew turned around and discussed with the team for a while. Everyone felt that the fire dragon was not a threat, so they planned to enter the central tower to check the situation, and then decide whether to release this dragon with mixed blood and intelligence.

  Although part of the tower has collapsed, the rest is still solid.

  Matthew and others walked in cautiously.

In the tower, they found the fatter lower body of the earth fire dragon Aru. His stomach and buttocks occupied almost 2/3 of the space inside the tower, and the remaining feet, tail and short wings could only be squeezed in Tie it under the belly and on the flanks, it really looks like a ball.

   Alutron's body was pierced with more than thirty thick iron chains.

  These chains also have magical incantations affixed to them.

   "Are these spells used to restrict your actions?"

   Matthew asked.

   "No, part of it is used to assist my movement. As you can see, I am too fat now, and I can't even turn over with my own strength."

  Despite being locked up as a breeding tool for five years, Aru still looks optimistic:

   "And the other part, uh, is the ones that stick on my stomach and tail, please help me get rid of them, they are used to arouse emotion."

   "Damn Blinken, you can't imagine what he did to me!"

   While checking the situation in the high tower with his companions, Matthew chatted with Alu:

   "How did you get caught by him?"

   Arulant complained:

"In the beginning, I lived in the depths of the Underdark without any worries, but one day the little black dragon in the Frozen City went crazy and wanted to double the tribute from all the living creature's lairs around us. At that time, I couldn't even feed myself Difficulty, what to take to pay tribute?

   As a last resort, I moved three times toward the surface.

   Not long after my last move, I met Blinken.

  In the beginning, he pretended very well. Seeing that I had a big appetite, he kept tempting me with a lot of blood of cattle and sheep.

  I failed to resist his temptation, the more I ate, the fatter I became, and I became good friends with him.

  In about half a year, I went from a healthy handsome guy to a round meatball.

At this time, Blinken finally showed his ugly face. He forced me to breed him. Of course I was unwilling, but at that time, I completely lost my fighting power because I was too fat. captured.

  After that, I was imprisoned in the territory of the Dragon Worship Cult, and I was tortured by them day and night.

  I really regret it all these years.

   If I had taken a smaller bite, would I have been able to run a little faster later, and escape the clutches of that **** necromancer?

Why! "

   His tone was full of regret.

  Matthew smiled and asked curiously:

   "What animal does Blinken let you breed with?"

"Oh, that's too much. At the beginning, I tried mammoths, rhinos, crocodiles, giant camels... I tried them all, and I was quite happy during that time. I felt that although I was fooled, my life was not so bad. , but soon, my nightmare came. One day, he brought back two extremely terrifying creatures. A few days later, he told me that I could only continue to breed with that kind of creatures. At that time It really **** me off!"

   "If that's the case, it's fine. What's even more hateful is that they are always demanding. Sometimes I feel that what they squeezed out is the fat on my body, but I haven't lost any weight. This is too hateful!"

  Aru complained.

   "In short, I don't want to mention the name of that disgusting creature at all, anyway, you will see it soon."

   What Aru said is true.

   Not long.

   A group of people saw ugly creatures with eight legs, short hairs, and dense compound eyes in a large number of giant cages at the bottom of the tower.

  …

  「Breeding spider (LV11/giant creature/ancient creature): Good at participating in the reproduction and reproduction of any species, most of the offspring born inherit the ability and form of the paternal line; the reproductive methods of the offspring are also inherited according to the paternal line.」

  …

  With just one glance, Matthew understood why the Fire Dragon driven by the Dragon Cult was more like a spider in size.

   "It's actually a product of large-scale hybridization of charmanders and spiders."

   Matthew can basically conclude.

  Blinken used the technology he mastered to continuously extract the reproductive potential of Aru and the breeding spider, thus obtaining a large number of cheap and low-quality dragon eggs.

  After these dragon eggs were quickly ripened and hatched, most of the baby dragons were reduced to dragon mountain ash in the black pit.

  Blinken collected a large amount of this kind of material. If it is just for the preparation of the dracolich transformation ceremony, it can produce hundreds of dracolich in batches.

   There must be other uses for this thing.

   And those young dragons who survived in the deep pit by chance are eligible to become members of the Dragon Worship Cult, and they will be raised and domesticated by special dragon trainers, so that they can be driven by the Dragon Worship Cultists when they burn, kill and plunder.

  Although those ground fire dragons are not worth mentioning with the cooperation of Matthew and Bobo, they are still very difficult for ordinary adventure teams.

   What's more, the targets of Dragon Worship Cult's plunder are usually ordinary people.

"Judging from the number of dragon eggs in the Dragon Farm, although it has only been built for a short time, it is indeed preparing for a protracted war. It's just that something happened later, which made Blinken completely dismissed With this kind of thought, he directly abandoned the Dragon Farm, and then disappeared."

  Matthew is walking outside the breeding spider's cage.

  These spiders look dull and unresponsive, as if they are natural reproductive machines.

   "They don't seem to be very intelligent, and even lack biological instinct."

  Matthew asked suspiciously.

   "It's like this, so it's not interesting to breed at all—

  I mean, "breeding spiders" are indeed not normal creatures. When Blinken introduced them to me, he once proudly stated that he got this creature from a big man in the Seven Saints Alliance.

   If you want me to say, this must be another ghost made by some mage in the laboratory!

  It is impossible for nature to produce such a pure machine. "

  Aru said so.

  At this time, Li Weiqi, who also checked the cage for a long time, said to Matthew seriously:

   "He is right. The breeding spider is not a natural creature, at least not a creature that should be in the current natural world. I sensed an uncoordinated "Qi" on it, which means that it has traces of artificial synthesis. "

   "Not the current creature? You mean?"

   Matthew doesn't know why.

   "It is the product of ancient creatures that were revived by magic, but magic can often only revive a small amount of characteristics of ancient creatures. This defect often produces many fatal sequelae."

  Li Weiqi looked at the weak Xiuyi:

   "I heard that the Seven Saints Alliance has conducted several rounds of experiments on "resurrection of ancient mythical creatures". Is there such a spider among them? "

  Xiu spread his hands when he heard the words:

   "I'm just a non-staff person in charge of running errands. I will do whatever the master asks me to do. Even if this kind of project exists, it's not my turn to know."

   Matthew's heart moved.

  He heard about this project from Taling 177.

  Next.

  Everyone quickly checked and counted the supplies in the tower.

   Except that Matthew found in the storage room that a jar suspected to have contained a large amount of Longshan ash had just been taken away.

  The rest of the things are basically in line with everyone's perception of Dragon Worship.

  These more than 30 breeding spiders have high magical scientific research value. Matthew originally planned to transport them all back to Rolling Stone Town, but it was a pity that Alutron told him that these spiders must be regularly fed with Blinken's mana and blood to survive.

  Blinken hadn’t returned for a few days, and many spiders showed signs of decay, and they would all die before long.

   This made Matthew feel very sorry.

  At the moment, he can only continue to keep these spiders in the iron cage, and take away the corpses after they die. At least they can be used as materials for subsequent summoning of advanced undead creatures "Spider of Hades" or "Frost Death Spider".

   The work of rescuing Arulant was long and laborious.

   Fortunately, Lumiere called a large number of Jangos.

   Even so, with the combined efforts of many people, it would take several hours to remove an iron chain that runs through the Fire Dragon.

   Fortunately, Arulant is very patient.

  Here the Jangos are still unloading his chains, while the Fire Dragon over there is already snoring around his head.

  It seems that what he said is broad-minded and fat.

   After leaving the tower.

  Matthew inspected several other buildings in Yulong Farm.

   After collecting everything that should be collected.

  Next.

   Destroying the Dragon Farm is just a matter of setting fire to it.

  …

  In the afternoon, the entire Yulong Farm except for the central tower had been demolished.

   After Aru successfully escapes, this place will also be burned.

  From then on, the threat of Dragon Worship to the rainforest will be temporarily lifted.

  Matthew discussed with Rhaegar and Li Weiqi for a while, and jointly decided on the treatment plan for the captives of the cultists.

  After breaking through the Dragon Breeding Field, there were about 20 Dragon Worshipers in their hands, including three high-level ones: Necromancer Potter, Dragonblood Warrior Kumbo Thotra, and Elf Warlock Bai.

  Combined with Xiuyi's recommendation, Matthew planned to send all these people to the "Fortress of Hesuo Mountain".

  It is the place where the Seven Holy Alliance tried and detained prisoners.

  The reason for making this choice was partly because Xiu Yi said that although he could not contact the alliance headquarters, he could reach the "Fortress of Hesuo Mountain" in the west of the desert.

  According to the practice of the Alliance Headquarters, if these cultists are caught, they will be sent directly to Mount Hessus or a similar institution. This is in line with official procedures.

  On the other hand, it is because the Seven Saints Alliance has offered a high price to the members of the Dragon Worship Cult.

  Dragon Tooth level members, the bounty reward for alive capture is usually between 2000~2500 gold coins!

   And killing a dragon tooth can only receive about 500.

  Ordinary Dragon Worshipers will reward 50 gold coins each.

   Even out of interest and value considerations, they do not intend to kill these people directly.

  Matthew estimated that these captives could probably provide them with a bounty of around 7500~9000.

   This bounty is almost as good as the magic crystal they got in the dungeon!

   The only hiccup is.

When checking the list of captives, Xiu Yi said that the existence of Elf Warlock Bai is very embarrassing, because she joined only recently, and the alliance did not offer a reward to her. If she is to be handed over to prison, she can only be regarded as an ordinary believer calculate.

   At this time, Bai said very politely that she was willing to pay the ransom herself.

  Matthew was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he finally planned to hand over the Elf Warlock to the Seven Saints Alliance.

  However, he suggested another way.

  The next few days.

   A group of people lived in the central tower.

   Those empty iron cages have also become temporary prison cells for the Dragon Worshipers.

   While rescuing Alutron, they waited for the field personnel of Hesuo Mountain Prison.

  At the same time, they are also secretly guarding against Blinken who may still appear.

   Soon, two days passed.

  Because the instigation was about to expire, Matthew transformed Miss Zombie and Bone Dragon into his summons.

  The difference is that the former is just an ordinary summoner. Even after the conversion ceremony, she still didn't get the bonus of Silver Moon Zombie, which made Matthew feel a little pity.

  The latter occupied a contract slot and became the undead of Matthew's fifth contract.

  However, compared with Philoreus, this skull dragon is average in appearance and poor in attributes. Xiao Bo can almost beat him two with one.

   After signing the contract, Matthew threw it into the negative energy plane and let it pick up the bones by itself.

  But it doesn't matter whether the skull dragon is powerful or not.

   Its existence itself is the greatest meaning to Matthew.

besides.

  The task of expelling the Dragon Worshipers received in the Black Banyan Dreamland also shows that it has been completed.

  It may be because Matthew did not kill very fiercely afterwards.

   In the end, only three more druid spells were taken.

  …

   "Beast Sense: You touch a willing beast. When the spell is in effect, you directly experience the senses of the subject beast, including its special senses, but at this time your body is regarded as equivalent to blindness and deafness."

  「Plant location technique: You call the name of a certain plant, and the plant will respond to you within 10 kilometers.」

  「Exuberant Leaf Blossom: You grab a large leaf of any plant and wither it within about 5 seconds. During this period, you or your companions will recover a certain amount of health.

  Using too much of this spell can lead you astray, please use it with caution!

  Available times per day: 5」

  …

  These three spells all have certain uses.

  Especially "Mi Ye Shenghua", this is the first healing spell that Matthew has obtained, and he can finally breastfeed when his teammates fight in the future!

  As far as the description mentioning this spell is easy to go astray.

  Matthew stated that he is a necromancer.

  Compared to the normal druid, he has gone astray so far, so let's sprinkle water on this point of going astray.

  The evening of the third day.

  The floating ship used to **** the prisoners in Heisuo Mountain Fortress finally arrived near the ruins of Yulongchang.

  After receiving the magic message from Xiuyi, Heisuo Mountain urgently dispatched two field law enforcement officers to take the prisoners of the Dragon Cult.

  The names of these two law enforcement officers are Dave and Macbeth. They are both fourth-order mages. They have worked in Hesuo Mountain for several years and have rich experience.

It is worth mentioning that.

Macbeth actually knew Rhaegar, and the two chatted for more than ten minutes at a dinner held by Archmage Ronan a few years ago. Although they didn't reminisce for a long time after this meeting, with this relationship, the two sides became closer. Believe it, the handover is very harmonious.

  Macbeth told Rhaegar that according to the normal procedure, the prisoners who were sent to Hesuo Mountain had to pay all the bounties after the trial, and usually only half of them would be paid during the handover;

  But this time, Xiuyi specially emphasized the bravery and contribution of the group in the magic message, so Hesuo Mountain also gave special approval and asked them to send the bonus directly.

   So far.

   Matthew and his party took a high reward.

  Dave and Macbeth also harvested a group of important criminals as they wished.

   Both sides are happy.

  But in order not to delay the work, the two sides did not exchange pleasantries for too long.

  Ten minutes after putting everyone on board.

  The airship started up again. During this period, Xio Yi boarded the boat. He grabbed the side of the boat and bid farewell to Matthew and the others, saying that he had to go to Hesuo Mountain to report on his work because of work needs.

  Matthew sent off Xiuyi and the floating boat with a smile.

   Until the black shadow dissipated at the end of the desert.

  The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

   "Is everything marked?"

   Matthew asked Lee Vicky.

  Li Weiqi nodded seriously:

   "Marked, the ship is confirmed to be the ship of Hesuo Mountain, and the people are also members of the Seven Saints Alliance."

   Matthew's expression was a little complicated when he heard the words.

  He turned his back to the sunset and sighed softly:

   "Tonight at most, the truth of why Blinken suddenly disappeared should be revealed."

   "I hope I'm worrying too much."

   night.

  Beside a bonfire near the tower.

   Li Weiqi appeared in front of Matthew in a hurry again.

   Without waiting for him to speak.

  Matthew nodded to indicate that he already knew everything.

  Data bar.

  …

  「Reminder: The "Necromancer Potter" and "Dragon Blood Warrior Kumbo Totra" you marked are dead!"

  …

   "I'm afraid it won't be long before the news that the Hesuo Mountain airship has crashed for some reason or has been crashed by a giant dragon will reach our ears."

  Matthew smiled helplessly at Li Weiqi.

   "This world is really complicated and cruel."

  Li Weiqi's expression did not change.

  He sat down beside Matthew and poked the bonfire meaninglessly with a branch:

   "So, the reason why Blinken resolutely abandoned Dragon Worship is already very clear."

   "He just wants to survive."

  Matthew nodded gently:

   "At first I couldn't figure it out. Blinken was aggressive when he was negotiating with me. How could he never see anyone again after the negotiation."

"Thinking about it now, during that negotiation, he had seriously misjudged my identity. When he saw Xiu Yi beside me and heard that I was related to the Seven Saints Alliance, he panicked. He thought I was the first step for a big man in the league to test him out, and then, what awaited him was the fate of cutting grass and roots."

   "The reason why I haven't thought of this for a long time is probably because I have a little illusion about the Seven Saints Alliance deep in my heart."

   "The alliance has allowed the development of Dragon Worshipers to go unchecked for so many years. I am afraid that internal resistance is a major reason."

   "And Xioyi said that he was sent by the alliance to monitor Blinken, but I am afraid that only he himself knows whether it is monitoring or cooperation."

   "After all, he has led us to fight Blinken from the beginning to the end."

"The alliance has always only distributed half of the rewards first. Dave and Macbeth are so enthusiastic this time just to shut our mouths. After all, I have Ronan's Patronus on me, Rhaegar and you are also present, so they dare not Have bad thoughts."

   "The Dragon Farm was wiped out by us, and the members of the Dragon Cult fled to death. Even the boss Blinken dared not stand up like a dog in the water."

  "In a few days, people will start cheering and celebrating, and there will be one less disaster in the world."

   "But who would have thought that the notorious No. 3 priest of the Dragon Cult, Blinken, is most likely to be the black glove of a big man in the alliance?"

   "How much of the dragon mountain ash and other taboo materials that Blinken wantonly collected was used by himself, and how much was handed over to the behemoths hiding in the shadows in the Seven Saints Alliance?"

"I do not know…"

"I have no idea."

  The hunting fire reflected on Matthew's face.

  His expression was a little sad, a little helpless, and more, there were traces of anger.

  …

   I can't finish writing, I really can't finish writing, the next chapter will sort out the ins and outs of the plot clearly, kowtow.

  (end of this chapter)
