The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Matthew rushed into the room.

He started changing clothes as quickly as possible.

…

"You are equipped with 'Mist Robe (+1)'!

Mist Robe (Armor +0): Casting speed +10%; slightly increases mental recovery speed

…

You are equipped with the ‘Deadwood Staff’!

Deadwood Staff (Attack +1): Summon the Dead Level +1

…

You are equipped with a ‘wonderful magic bag’!

Miaofa Luggage: Contains 8 folding spaces, and the same folding space can store up to 12 items of the same type.

…

Currently stored props: Corruption Spores/Phantom Butterfly/Several Scrolls"

…

After putting on a completely different outfit than usual.

Matthew's whole demeanor changed.

If we say that he is usually more like a young teacher who speaks well.

So now.

He is a big step closer to the necromancer in the popular stereotype.

"Dinner is ready!"

Peggy came over with a pot of mushroom fried noodles.

"Come back and eat again!"

Drop this sentence.

Matthew hurried off into the night.

…

Ten minutes later.

Matthew's figure appeared at the edge of the oak forest.

He was accompanied only by a mage's fire for illumination.

His face didn't look good.

The presence of a suspected arsonist poses a huge threat to his most important resource.

He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He became furious for a moment.

Follow normal logic.

He should go to the police station for help now.

But once Matthew considered that Brad must be very busy with Sif's affairs, he might not be able to have free hands to mind his own affairs.

Secondly, he also wanted to personally punish this audacious arsonist!

"The woods that I have worked so hard to cultivate."

"It's not just cats and dogs that can come and have fun with each other!"

Edge of oak forest.

Matthew stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.

A large fire can indeed be seen from here, and the fire has not spread to the oak forest yet - thanks to the fact that there are no flammable materials in this area.

He calmed down and realized that the place where the flames ignited seemed to be a farm.

There was only a hillside between there and the oak forest.

Matthew has met the owner of the farm several times, and his daughter is very cute.

The farm was burning so fiercely, but no one was shouting nearby. It was not difficult to guess the fate of the farm owner and his family.

…

"Not an ordinary robber..."

Matthew calmed down.

The Oak Fairy told him that there were many arsonists and they exuded an evil and powerful temperament, which meant that adventurers were most likely responsible.

He cannot act recklessly when the enemy's combat strength is unknown.

So he waited and watched for a while.

Then he ran quickly to the other end of the oak forest.

soon.

Matthew arrived at the spot he remembered.

It was a huge haystack.

Below the haystack.

There is a place similar to a cellar.

There is not much space in the cellar.

The layout is a bit like Matthew’s college dormitory in his previous life.

"puff!"

Matthew opened the iron cover.

A little perception.

Then he began to use the "Death Summoning Technique".

Under the guidance of mana.

Suddenly.

A white hand slapped on the dirt floor at the cellar exit!

Immediately afterwards.

Just one skeleton after another crawled out of it!

Not long after.

On the edge of the haystack, there were 12 skeleton soldiers with light green soul fire burning in their heads.

Most of these skeleton soldiers have thick bones, high integrity, and possess weapons and small bucklers. They are among the elite skeleton soldiers.

They are all summons carefully collected by Matthew.

It took him a lot of effort to make them have their current mental outlook.

To know.

The summoning of the dead did not come out of nowhere.

No matter how powerful the Necromancer is, it is impossible to conjure a team of skeleton soldiers out of thin air.

Summoning the undead requires materials.

…

Take Skeleton Soldiers for example.

Summoning them requires a certain number of bones.

If the number is insufficient, even if the summoning is successful, the skeleton soldiers you get will still be missing arms and legs.

Let alone fighting, they might fall apart if they take even two steps.

The reason why skeleton soldiers have become synonymous with cannon fodder is because the materials it requires are relatively easy to obtain.

Others, such as black warriors, blood demons, bone dragons, soul-eating demons, etc., are thousands of times more difficult to summon!

certainly.

There is also a way to obtain summons that bypasses the casting materials.

That is to build a magic circle pointing to the negative energy plane.

Pull people directly from there.

But the wealth consumed by doing so is even more staggering.

Even high-level mages will weigh it carefully before constructing this kind of magic circle.

So generally speaking.

There is a reason why necromancers with low moral sense prefer to wander cemeteries and mass graves——

They are so poor!

And someone like Matthew—almost every bone in the cellar was bought with his own money or picked up by accident—is definitely considered a saint among necromancers.

…

"Walk!"

Matthew gave an order.

The skeleton soldiers, whose reaction was slightly delayed, slowly followed his footsteps.

Waves of chill began to spread.

In the oak forest.

Even the noisy night wind became silent.

It seems that even they are afraid of the arrival of the undead.

…

"boom!"

A ball of violent flames exploded in the farmland.

Fierce winds fanned the fire.

Seeing the farm gradually being destroyed in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Wearing a black vest and exposing half of his muscles, Kuromori smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He suppressed the thought of continuing to set fires.

He moved his gaze to the dark woods not far away.

"Finn's information seems to be true. They are not prepared to attack Rolling Stone Town at this time!"

"Haha, then let me give them a little more shock of fire!"

He strode toward the hillside.

behind his back.

Six followers also followed.

"Is everything arranged?"

Heisen asked calmly.

"Don't worry, boss, there's no one left alive, they're all burned alive!"

One of the scarred faces showed a ferocious smile.

Hessen nodded with satisfaction.

As a level 11 "Arsonist", he can feel that his strength has increased a little!

not much.

But clearly visible.

In fact.

According to the original plan, he should have withdrawn after burning the farm, but the feeling of increased power made him extremely intoxicated.

Especially when he noticed the oak forest in front of him, he immediately changed his mind.

He can feel the vitality contained in this forest. Burning this forest will bring him a huge increase in strength!

That’s about ten times the farm’s earnings.

It's about the same as burning down a city block.

But the risk is far lower than setting fire to the city!

No arsonist can resist such temptation.

In particular, Heisen clearly felt that as long as he burned this forest, the legendary road that was originally very vague to him would become clear.

He couldn't hold back his crazy thoughts anymore!

set fire!

set fire!

He wants to burn!

burn!

burn!

…

"stop!"

Walk halfway up the hill.

Heisen shouted suddenly.

Six attendants immediately came over alertly.

"Boss, what's wrong? Do you want to withdraw?"

Scarface asked.

Heisen ignored him and just stared straight ahead with wide eyes.

The night breeze brought a faint green fluorescence.

There is a faint smell of corruption in the air.

"It's bone fire..."

Heisen looked thoughtfully at the row of figures slowly appearing on the hillside.

Skeleton soldiers?

Is it the Necromancer?

Heisen's frown immediately relaxed:

"Did Fenn send you here? Go back and tell him that I will go find him after burning this forest!"

"As for whether to join the cult, it depends on his sincerity."

The skeleton soldier remained motionless.

The man who was hiding in the dark and controlling these undead creatures didn't say a word either.

Heisen laughed dumbly:

"You're not trying to stop me, are you? Just with these skeletons?"

The followers also laughed.

Scarface volunteered:

"Boss, I can kick all these skeletons away by myself!"

Hesse shook his head.

His eyes searched around the hillside.

His eyes were extremely sharp.

But he never acted rashly.

A few minutes passed.

His tense state was relieved immediately.

The two huge muscles on the chest also trembled:

"Stop being mysterious, I've found your location - didn't Finn tell you what I do? Haha, I'm very sensitive to temperature!"

He said jokingly in the direction of the skeleton soldier:

"You necromancers all like to hide in piles of fish? You are so uncreative!"

However, the other party still didn't answer.

Hesse finally became angry:

"If you don't get out, I'll burn you too!"

Said.

Suddenly there was a flaming glass bottle in his hand!

"I'm not trying to be mysterious."

finally.

This voice came from behind a skeleton soldier:

"I'm just waiting for the rot sac to take effect - the one you just inhaled."

Matthew stood on the hillside.

A large amount of negative energy surged from the tip of the deadwood staff!

…

"Sac of Corruption: Accelerate Infection!"

…

"not good!"

Hesse looked back.

The expressions of the entourage were slightly panicked.

They began to realize something was wrong.

"Why is my face itchy?"

"On the arm too!"

"It's so itchy! It seems like something is about to grow!"

In their horrified eyes.

Some people have patches of red bumps appearing on their skin.

At first, these bumps are not noticeable and feel nothing.

Soon they became extremely itchy.

People simply can't control their hands from scratching.

And a scratch.

A large amount of yellow-green pus gushes out of it.

Splash elsewhere on the skin.

The infection started to become more rapid!

As the infection area continues to spread.

among the crowd.

The breath from the negative plane is getting stronger and stronger!

"Stop scratching, just kill that necromancer and everything will be fine!"

Hessen made a quick decision and roared angrily.

The group of people endured the itching and charged forward.

Matthew continued to wave his staff.

This time.

He doesn't even need to chant!

…

"Summoning the Undead: The object of the contract!

…

Your ability 'Instant Summon' is taking effect!

…

Your ability ‘fixed point fall’ is taking effect! "

…

on the hill.

A large green circle of light appeared in the area where the group of people was about to rush.

"Get out of the way!"

Hessen didn't wait for him to finish.

A tall figure fell from the sky!

boom!

One of the followers was unable to dodge.

Got smashed into meat paste!

People nearby were also affected by the shock wave.

Rolling down the mountain one after another.

Hessen looked over angrily.

But I saw the two-meter-tall figure looking around blankly.

Her bones are white and flawless.

But the most eye-catching thing is the dinner plate in her hand——

"Matthew? Do you want to have dinner? Just in time, I just heated up the mushroom fried noodles again..."

Paige looked at Matthew cheerfully.

"No, throw away the chow mein, Paige, I want you to fight for me."

Matthew said.

Paige's mood suddenly became serious.

She turned back to the arsonist.

Then he said to Matthew:

"Then please strengthen me!"
