The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 15 Late Night Visitor

…

"Is this the charm of "Heart of Nature"? "

Matthew was overjoyed.

The disadvantage of short-lived species has always been the biggest pain for mankind on the road to explore the truth.

Many spellcasters will do whatever it takes to extend their lives.

Lich is one of the products of people's pursuit of eternal life.

But if you can extend your life naturally.

Who is willing to turn himself into a cold immortal thing?

Matthew had a premonition.

As I explore the field of "oak" more and more deeply.

There is still a lot of room for extending your lifespan!

Compared with the one-time improvement of "extending life".

"Double harvest" stimulated the fire of labor in Matthew's heart.

"Planting 10 trees will strengthen it once. If I plant 1,000 trees in one breath - the skeleton soldier will be strengthened by +100?"

He was thoroughly excited.

Although planting 1,000 trees in 30 days is a bit fanciful.

But as long as there is reasonable planning, 200 to 300 trees can still work.

It's spring now.

This is the most suitable season for planting trees.

In order to maximize the speed of tree planting.

Matthew decided to take a two-pronged approach——

Tonight he will write a report to the city hall to apply for planting trees on the Blood Banner Lord's land.

And tomorrow morning.

He officially launched a challenge towards the wasteland in the direction of the Mark of the Dead!

…

"You planted a sapling, and you used 'rapid growth' on the sapling!

…

The planting is successful and your natural affinity has been slightly improved!

…

You have gained 1 point of strengthening experience (10 points have been gained in total)

…

You gained 10 XP

(Your level can no longer be upgraded, the remaining XP has been saved, please advance as soon as possible)"

…

The next afternoon.

Matthew rested on the back of a boulder.

The oak tree just planted is about forty or fifty meters away.

But Matthew couldn't sense the vitality in it.

The root cause of this phenomenon is the dark scar on the earth on the other side of the boulder.

"The marker stones near the Mark of the Dead are said to have been erected by Lord Blood Banner. They are found in the territory of Rolling Stone Town. This can indeed prevent ordinary people from entering dangerous areas by mistake - provided that the Mark of the Dead does not spread."

Matthew wiped his sweat and looked very serious.

He had stayed in Rolling Stone Town for less than three years, and the spread of the Marks of the Dead was visible to the naked eye.

three years ago.

There is a distance of more than ten meters between the edge of the Trace of the Dead and the marker stone.

And now the two are almost touching each other.

It’s not hard to imagine what the situation will be like in a few years.

That's why he planted new oak trees farther away.

He had to leave enough buffer for the spread of the Mark of the Dead in the coming years.

"I'm so tired..."

Today’s tree planting target has been completed.

But it is not easy to open up wasteland near the Mark of the Dead. The terrain here is complex and the land is barren. There are many factors that he has to consider.

The only good thing is that the Gold Digger Basin has a rich underground water system. As long as the oak trees take root, at least they will not die of thirst.

"The few trees planted today are too sparse and have failed to form a group effect, and their ability to withstand disasters will also be reduced..."

Checked out the possible areas to set foot in tomorrow.

Matthew thought as he walked back.

As the oak forest continues to expand.

It now takes longer and longer for him to travel back and forth between his home and the woods.

That's it for normal times.

But now is the time to race against time to get the number of enhancements.

He was going to ask someone to build a cabin in the oak forest.

At least this month.

He planned to get into the woods and never come out!

…

evening.

The city hall was deserted near the end of the day.

Only from one office came Ms. Liz's unique loud voice:

"You want to plant trees on the Lord's private land?"

"Yes."

Matthew politely handed over the application.

He is a fastidious person.

He is willing to abide by all official rules and regulations as long as they are not excessive.

This application is based on model documents processed by the City Hall from previous years.

He is confident that others will not find any fault in the content and format.

really.

Liz raised her eyebrows after reading:

"The writing is beautiful."

"Thanks."

Matthew smiled.

"I will submit the application for you. Theoretically, there won't be any problems, because this land has always been entrusted to our city hall by the lord.

There was once a businessman who wanted to take over the contract and build a small mine there, but this proposal was ultimately rejected by us.

At that time, there were enough mining factories around Rolling Stone Town. You have never seen that scene. There was thick smoke everywhere..."

Liz talked endlessly:

"But then guess what, the minerals disappeared overnight! The bosses of the mines also lost everything. The businessman later made a special trip to thank us. I still remember that he gave Mr. Oumeng two boxes of apples. Wine, but only one box was given to me.”

Matthew listened quietly.

He had also heard many anecdotes about the minerals in Rolling Stone Town. In many versions of the legend, those minerals disappeared overnight.

Some people say that the Lord of Rolling Stone has offended the Ore Elf, but Matthew knows that this thing does not exist at all!

Some people say that this is a curse from purgatory, and that the town of Rolling Stone will become poor if it loses its minerals.

But in fact, the town of Rolling Stone has not weakened because of this.

The Blood Banner Lord established two major trading posts, one in the south and one in the north, on the border of the territory, blocking the trade routes leading to the hinterland of hundreds of human cities and the Eversong Forest in the southwest and northeast respectively.

The business at the trading post is extremely prosperous, and the economy of Rolling Stone Town is always in a prosperous state.

In recent years, the town's handicraft industry has developed rapidly, and various small workshops have emerged one after another, vaguely implying industrialization.

This may be the credit of the Blood Flag Lord, but in Matthew's opinion, the five-person committee that handles various government affairs all year round also contributes a lot.

And Ms. Liz in front of her is one of them.

About Liz.

Matthew didn't know much.

He had the impression that this woman was mean and picky, loved to gossip, and had a bad reputation in the town.

But she also loves work and is diligent.

This can be seen from the fact that other officials have gone off work and she is still in the office processing documents.

the most important is.

She is Brad's mother, the distant cousin of Lord Blood Banner, and Sif's aunt.

In a sense.

Liz represents the will of the Blood Banner Lord in the five-person committee.

This is why Matthew made a special trip to her to apply.

…

After one hour.

It was completely dark outside.

"Okay young man, thank you for being willing to listen to me. There are not many young people as patient as you."

Liz lit the candle and continued working on the documents:

"Go back. I will help you implement your application as soon as possible. After the committee approves it, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Matthew nodded and stood up. He relaxed his muscles and bones and made a crackling sound all over his body.

"By the way, Matthew, I remember you are also a necromancer. What do you think of the rumors these days?"

Liz suddenly stopped him, her eyes sparkling with gossip.

Matthew thought:

"You mean the necromancer with the bone dragon? I heard that he almost got into trouble with the garrison."

Liz shook her head:

"The version you heard is wrong. The necromancer seems to be a friend rather than an enemy. Not only did he save...well, well...in short, he doesn't seem to be a bad person."

She seemed to realize that some things should not be said casually.

Matthew smiled gently:

"The Necromancer is just a profession, and of course he is not necessarily a bad person."

Liz looked at him with interest:

…

"For example, you? A necromancer who likes to plant trees?

To be honest, I really think you were delayed by the adventurer profession.

Look at you, Matthew, what a handsome young man!

Even compared to my Brad, your appearance is not inferior.

As long as you nod, I will be happy to introduce you to several girls from good families..."

…

Matthew suddenly became ashamed:

"I, I feel like I'm far inferior to Brad."

Liz was delighted when she heard this:

"Don't say that, Matthew, I think you are much more pleasing to the eye than the brat in my family."

"That's it. Come to me tomorrow to get the approval document. You can plant whatever you want on the Lord's land!"

Matthew was surprised: "Don't you need approval?"

Liz waved her hand: "It's just an administrative process. The lord doesn't really interfere in political affairs. He is busy taking care of his daughter these days. I still have this right."

"As long as you don't turn that land into a mass grave, you can do anything!"

Matthew was overjoyed.

So he followed Liz's wishes and flattered her a few more times.

This made the middle-aged lady laugh so hard.

Wait until late at night.

After Matthew emerged from the town hall and sent Liz home.

Not only did he receive the approval in advance.

I also applied for a tree planting subsidy.

The money is about 200 gold coins.

It was allocated from the small treasury of the Blood Banner Lord himself.

This experience taught Matthew a lot.

Thousands of words condensed into one sentence:
