The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Rolling Stone Town, Lord's Mansion, Study Room.

Rhaegar was wearing a nightgown and yawning as he pushed the door in from the corridor. As expected, an incredibly handsome guy was already dressed and sitting at his desk, waiting for him.

"Wait, I asked Mrs. Wesley to make me a pot of coffee."

Rhaegar said as he poked his head out of the side door of the study and called the maid's name.

When he took the coffee from the servant and walked slowly to the table, Zeller had already placed a letter in front of him.

"Matthew's letter."

Zeller said.

"who?"

Rega was holding the coffee and blowing on it gently, with confusion written all over his face.

"Matthew, your magic advisor."

Zeller reminded.

Rhaegar looked extremely surprised, and his expression seemed too exaggerated:

"So I still have a magic consultant?"

"That guy who applied for a month-long paid vacation on the first day of work?"

Zeller smiled:

"I helped him apply."

Rhaegar sat down on the soft chair, took a sip of scalding coffee, and said vaguely:

"Just spoil him!"

"What did the letter say?"

As he spoke, he took another sip of coffee.

"He may have to continue to take leave..."

Zeller hasn't finished speaking yet.

Rhaegar spurted out with a "pop" sound!

Coffee spilled over half of the desk.

"You can take leave, but your salary is gone!!"

Rhaegar said angrily:

"A while ago, Du Lin and the others asked me if I wanted them to recommend a magic consultant. I said that I already had one at home and declined their offer. But in fact? I have had several magic problems recently and I couldn't find anyone at all. Come and ask!”

Zeller thoughtfully handed over a white hand towel:

"Perhaps you could write to him."

"No need, you wrote back and told him to let him play outside as much as he likes, and it's best not to ever return to Rolling Stone Town!"

Rhaegar complained as he wiped the table.

His eyes were terrifyingly resentful.

Seeing this, Zeller coughed slightly and added:

"Matthew also mentioned in his letter that he was in a bit of trouble."

Rega showed a true expression:

"I should have known that the Necromancer would be a troublemaker wherever he goes!"

Zeller retorted:

"But he's been planting trees in Rolling Stone for three years and he's never been in trouble."

Rega snorted twice. Seeing that he couldn't speak to Zeller, he shouted outside:

"Mrs. Wesley? Mrs. Wesley! Give me a cup of coffee instead!"

His voice was loud, but there was still no response for a long time in the corridor.

"Damn it, Mrs. Wesley's ears are getting worse and worse. I'll have to fire her sooner or later!"

Rhaegar cursed and increased his volume.

After a while, a sturdy old woman came from the corridor. She carried the coffee pot and poured another cup for Rhaegar.

"Mrs. Wesley!"

Rhaegar shouted in her ear:

"Wipe the table, and then ask Mason to wake Sif up. If Sif is not in her room, ask Mason to find that damn tauren skeleton, and ask her to bring Sif back to the Lord's Mansion before noon. Understand?"

Mrs. Wesley nodded slowly.

After cleaning up.

As she walked out carrying her things, she suddenly said to the lord:

"Rega, speak softer next time, my ears can hear you very clearly!"

Rhaegar turned back to Zeller and sneered:

"Deaf people think they have good hearing!"

As he spoke, he said to Mrs. Wesley in a slightly louder voice:

"Mrs. Wesley, since you always organize the maids to play cards during lunch break, I have decided to reduce your salary!"

The old woman quickly showed a blank expression:

"What are you talking about, Rhaegar? You can't hear me, please speak louder!"

Rhaegar shrugged, and suddenly said softly:

"I saw your husband and your son entering the brothel on Water Pipe Street yesterday, arm in arm."

The old woman immediately rolled her eyes at him:

"Rega, you are in your forties, don't act like a child and make such irrelevant jokes. It has been more than three years since my husband died, and you personally presided over the funeral!"

After saying that, she carried the things and left without looking back.

"Look, I knew her deafness was fake! She just wanted to be lazy and not work!"

Rhaegar cursed bitterly:

"I'll quit her next week."

Zeller chuckled:

"You have been saying this for two years. Everyone knows that you can't fire Mrs. Wesley. She has watched you grow up."

Rega blew the coffee expressionlessly:

"I'm serious this time!"

"By the way, this letter, where did we just talk about it?"

Zeller reminded: "Matthew is in a little trouble, and I think we need to take the initiative to help."

Rhaegar asked, "Why?"

Zeller said: "He is very smart and very good, but he is too young, which is why we can help him."

"Don't forget, he is the one chosen by Ronan."

Rhaegar was silent for a while, then nodded and said:

"Okay, tell me, what trouble did he encounter? I will help depending on the situation."

After saying that, he took another sip of coffee.

Zeller suddenly stopped talking.

After Rhaegar swallowed all the coffee, he asked strangely:

"Why are not you talking?"

"I'm waiting for you to finish drinking. I'm afraid you'll squirt again."

Zeller joked:

“Because the trouble Matthew is having is Blinken from the Dragon Cult.”

Rega's eyes suddenly widened, then he looked at the cup in his hand and laughed at himself:

"Luckily you had the foresight, otherwise I might have had to change into pajamas."

"So, when that kid stepped out, he provoked a legendary mage?"

Zeller corrected:

"Quasi-legendary, peak level 5, level 20. Blinken has stayed at quasi-legendary for many years. I guess the reason why he has never been able to break through is closely related to the Dragon Worship Cult. If he cannot create a Dragon Lich, he may You can never be promoted to legend."

Rega said happily:

"Even if there is no legend, that's pretty much it. Do you advise me to take the initiative to provoke a fifth-level mage, or the Dragon Worship Cult with a strong background?"

"If you weren't a warlock yourself, I would have suspected that you were seduced by that boy!"

Zeller said calmly:

"We have killed a lot of fifth-level mages before - when we were in Purgatory, we all knew that the gap between legends is not that big. If carefully prepared, fifth-level mages are actually very fragile."

Seeing Zeller's expression.

Rega's heart skipped a beat, and an expression of resistance appeared on his face:

"Damn it, here it comes again, I don't want to hear you now!"

He tried to cover his ears.

However, Zeller ruthlessly pulled him away:

“No, you have to listen, it’s important.

Matthew mentioned in his letter that he encountered some conflicts between the Dragon Cult and Blinken in the rainforest south of Zeshui City.

In his letter, he elaborated on his follow-up plan and hoped that we could point out the shortcomings in his plan.

His first step is to prepare to negotiate with Blinken.

Look, this is what I admire most about him, not only knowing to write to us, but also knowing to try to negotiate with the enemy first.

Most boys at his age are idiots who only know how to fight and be jealous.

And his handling methods are very mature. He understands that violence means risks, so it should always be the last way to solve problems.

Such a promising young man, of course I am willing to help him.

I'm sure you do too, Rhaegar. "

Rega couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words.

But soon he was in trouble again:

"So who should we let go? Richard? He has been shouting about his retirement every day, and there is no way he would take action for such a trivial matter.

Du Lin and Asma had just returned to Rolling Stone Town a few days ago. Neither of them knew Matthew, and neither of them liked the Necromancer. It would definitely not be appropriate to send them there.

Li Weiqi can do it. Ever since we blew up all the passages to the Underdark, he has been doing nothing all day long, wandering around in Matthew's woods, complaining of boredom every day.

I really don’t know how he cultivates Qi. There must be something wrong with this monk’s discipline! "

Zeller crossed his arms and said confidently:

"Li Weiqi, and you!

If the negotiation fails, then the two sides are very likely to have a fight, and if you want to kill a fifth-level mage, it is not safe to only have one Li Weiqi.

Although Matthew mentioned in his letter that he also has a fifth-level jungle son and an artificer with unknown combat power, I don't have any confidence in them.

So I can only ask you to take action. "

"I?"

Rhaegar immediately jumped up from his chair:

"I am the lord of Rolling Stone Town. Can that kid just write a letter and ask me to go through fire and water for him?"

"Just because you are the lord of Rolling Stone Town, you should consider the future of Rolling Stone Town."

Zeller said seriously:

"The world is changing, Rhaegar, and the peace of the past is gone forever.

Du Lin and Asma also talked to you about their experiences overseas when they came back. The mysterious lock on civilization that Matthew told us before is being broken, and people's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. I suspect that in the next twenty years, this will Many wars will break out on the continent.

There were suspicious signs in White Rock City and Rapids City.

Even if Ronan can return from the star realm, his true foundation is in Gemstone Bay after all.

The town of Rolling Stone needs a guardian, an archmage we can trust.

You and I both know Matthew's potential, and now, the opportunity is right in front of you. Believe me, Rhaegar, there is no better investment in the world than giving someone timely help. "

Rega showed a struggling expression:

"Damn, Zeller, I knew this would happen. I was almost convinced by you! It happens every time! If you can give me another reason, I will go!"

He looked as if he was ready to die.

Zeller smiled faintly:

"You are the one who usually has the most nothing to do among all the senior officials in Rolling Stone Town. Is this a good enough reason?"

Rhaegar sat slumped on the chair:

"Okay, I'll just go!"

"Pay attention to safety and remember to remind Li Weiqi."

Zeller took off two frog dolls from his waist and handed them to Rega:

"I know you are not afraid of the Necromancer, but there are no absolutes in this world, so you can't be careless."

Rega took the doll and laughed at himself:

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"I am always watching you, Rhaegar."

Zeller said mildly:

"I know that the ability you spent a lot of effort to develop for revenge is completely the nemesis of the Necromancer. This is one of the reasons why you can tolerate Matthew, isn't it?"

Rhaegar hung one of the dolls on his waist and shook the other one:

"I'll give it to Lee Widge, but he probably won't need it."

"By the way, how should we get there? This place is too far away from the rainforest, and the Eastern Giant Eagle can't move the two of us at once."

Zeller laughed again:

"The owl sent by Matthew to deliver the message is a high-level favored person of the Moonlight Goddess. When there is moonlight tonight, she will take you into the Moonlight Goddess's kingdom.

After that, Matthew himself will provide the goddess with a coordinate anchor point, and you can teleport directly to him. The price is that he will owe the Moonlight Goddess a favor.

This is the cunning thing about this guy. In his letter, he only explained his plan and asked for advice, without any intention of asking for help.

But he clearly wrote out the method of traveling quickly, and claimed that he would say hello to the Moonlight Goddess.

Look, what a cunning and shameless boy.

He already knows how to make full use of human resources.

So at his age, what are you doing, Rhaegar? "

Faced with Zeller's inquiry.

Rhaegar answered without hesitation:

"Ah, at that time I was still in Pony Town, fighting with those bastards from the Turtle Gang every day, and occasionally I would get jealous of young and beautiful girls..."

As he was talking, he suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped in a hurry.

Zeller in front of him finally couldn't help laughing.

…

"Tip: The level of your contract summon (Tauren Skeleton) has been increased to LV13!

Paige has mastered a series of new abilities. "

…

Is he only one level higher than me again?

But when she was at level 5, Paige was also at level 9 without moving at all.

Matthew was a little confused. The contract he signed with Peggy was the most common undead contract. If there was a seal, it definitely had nothing to do with the contract.

This inability to figure things out can only be attributed to Paige's own strangeness.

Anyway, there are many strange things about her, not least of which is this one.

"Maybe it's not a seal, but my advancement or other actions activated the potential in her body?"

Matthew recovered his thoughts.

At this time, a group of four people were standing in front of the throne, receiving Su Ya's blessing.

White lights fell one after another.

Su Ya sat upright on the throne, her expression seemed sacred and inviolable.

After coming out of the woods.

She has always been like this, with an incredibly elegant and holy temperament.

This strong contrast is really impressive.

Matthew originally thought that when she was blessing everyone, she would take the opportunity to humiliate him.

So I held my breath tightly in advance and gritted my teeth to endure it.

However, it was not until the blessing session was completely over.

None of the rubbing, stepping, or kicking that Matthew expected came.

While this made him breathe a sigh of relief, he also felt a sense of loss.

When leaving the black banyan dreamland.

Matthew looked back at Su Ya on the throne.

The latter's face gradually became blurred.

Between hazy.

Matthew seemed to see her smile at him.

Then the scenery began to blur before my eyes.

A gentle force pushed him away from the black banyan dreamland.

…

Morning, edge of Bitterwater Swamp.

Lumiere bent down and carefully distinguished the traces on the ground:

"They are marching very fast. They should have reached the depths of the swamp at this moment. There are no signs of fighting nearby. It's strange. Could such a big movement not attract the undead in the swamp?"

Matthew said solemnly:

"Blinken himself is a powerful necromancer. It's normal for him to have ways to appease the undead. What I'm curious about is why he came in this direction. Could it be the Tomb of the Dragon that the Bitter Water Swamp and the Dragon Cult are looking for? There are relationships?"

Xiu Yi pondered and said:

"I have also heard a little bit about the former owner of Bitterwater Swamp. The necromancer named Dania was the city lord of White Rock City for two generations. She is an archmage officially registered in the alliance. She is considered a very decent person among necromancers. That’s right, I probably have nothing to do with Blinken.”

Matthew nodded and said:

"No matter what, we have to catch up with Blinken first. Be careful, everyone. When we enter the swamp, we can follow their footsteps, but try not to step on their footprints."

Experienced marching masters will leave several terrifying spell traps in the footprints of their own troops.

Many trackers died as a result

At Matthew's signal, Lumiere took the lead.

He pushed aside a patch of reeds and walked in along the side of the footprints.

Matthew, Bobo and Xiuyi followed in sequence.

Didn't go far.

A zombie suddenly appeared from the haystack ahead!

As soon as she saw Lumière, she couldn't help but pounce on him.

Lumiere was about to take action when he heard Matthew shouting in a low voice:

"retreat!"

He didn't hesitate and quickly got out of the way.

Matthew whispered a spell.

"Spell: Appease the Dead"!

Soothed by Matthew's spell, the zombie gradually lost its desire to attack. She walked staggeringly to the side of everyone. Until everyone walked past, she still followed behind.

"Does that zombie know you?"

Bobo asked.

Matthew looked at the bewildered zombie lady and sighed softly:

"We had a one-night stand."

Xiu Yi and Lumière were immediately shocked.

Matthew quickly pointed at Bobo and explained:

"She was there that night."

Bobo seemed to have thought about it and nodded vigorously:

"Yes, yes, I'm there too!"

As a result, Xiu Yi and Lumiere were even more shocked when they heard this.

It's been a long time.

The two of them finally came to their senses.

Xiu Yi coughed and awkwardly changed the subject:

"Mr. Matthew, I see there are many undead along the way. If we keep using comfort, it may affect the speed of our pursuit."

Matthew waved his hand:

"It's okay. I won't comfort you anymore. If there are any undead again, I'll use this to clear the way!"

Said.

He took out "Usul's Scold" from his bag and held it tightly in his hand.

This time, the two of them just glanced at the long black whip and said nothing more.

Ten minutes later.

On the outskirts of the swamp, on a slightly raised plateau.

A sturdy dragon-blooded warrior was patrolling the surroundings with four dragon worshipers and seven or eight earth fire dragons.

"It appears that Blinken has set up a sentry to guard against pursuing troops."

In the reeds not far away.

Xio, who was the first to discover this sentry post, said in a low voice:

"What should we do? Avoid them? Mr. Matthew?"

Matthew rightly said:

"Of course, we'll kill them all in one go!"

Xiu Yi stayed for a while:

"But didn't you say you want to negotiate first?"

Matthew smiled and patted Lumiere and Bobo on the shoulders:

“This is how I negotiate!”

Said.

He was the first to break out of the reeds, his body expanded violently, and he turned into a moon bear in the blink of an eye!

"Roar!"

The moon bear ran and growled.

"Instinctive Spellcasting: Vine Spell"!

At that moment, two vines with barbs grew rapidly from the ground, tightly entangling the dragon-blooded warrior!
