The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 113 "Where's My Dad?"

……

After sending off the assessment duo, Matthew continued to plant trees.

Before I knew it, another three days passed.

At the end of the new week, Matthew has also accumulated a considerable number of enhancements to 13 times.

evening.

He recruited Renee Smee and fired 13 rounds into her body in one go.

After the wonderful strengthening light flashed.

Miss Zombie's level has been raised from LV9 to LV12 in one go, and she has already stood at the peak of the third level, which is enough to be on an equal footing with Matthew.

In terms of keywords, the luck of this reinforcement is quite satisfactory, a total of two purples, three blues, three whites and two grays.

Look at these keywords in different colors.

Matthew felt that he had accumulated some balance elements.

This time, he still chose to look at purple and gray first.

……

"Concentration Contract (Purple): Renesme will get an additional focus bonus (currently +1) when aiming at the enemy.

Specifically, she shares this focus bonus with the nearest companion. "

"Clingy (Grey): Renee Smei lacks a sense of security and longs for company. She needs at least two hours a day to see her master (you).

Once she can't be satisfied, a layer of "confusion" will appear in her soul fire.

When the number of layers of confusion exceeds a certain limit, her loyalty to you may decrease. "

……

Focus contracts are a good thing.

The most important attribute for a mage is concentration, which is so critical to casting spells.

In the previous few battles, Matthew would rather use the wilderness form to kill the enemy more than choose to use spells, because the wilderness form has very low requirements for concentration.

Most of the time, he was distracted and calculating other things, and he had to brew his emotions for slightly higher-level spells.

This is the downside of lack of focus.

In fact, he doesn't have much advantage in this respect, he can only accumulate slowly.

With just this one key word, Matthew decided to keep Renesmee with him for a long time in the future. Apart from the fact that she is also a sharpshooter, it would not be a loss to use it as a focus charging pile!

As for "sticky".

Matthew thought it was okay.

At least no salary increase.

It is only natural for the undead to follow the necromancer every day.

What's more, Matthew is now in the third rank.

Among his spells to learn, mirror image is also a very important spell.

In the future, if I want to travel far and cannot bring Miss Zombie with me.

Make a mirror image for her to play with at home.

compared to real living people.

The undead are still too easy to fool.

Between thoughts.

Matthew looked at the second group of purple and gray.

……

"Spell Enlightenment (Purple): Renesmee has awakened part of the memories of her previous life, and she has obtained a small amount of memories of Storm Archer's related spells. In future battles, she may gradually recall more of her own spells.

In particular, if she can fight the enemy on a stormy ship, Renesme may awaken more past life spells.

Currently recalled spells: water into wine, magic trap"

"Bar villain (gray): Renesme loves to wrestle with others, and is willing to bet with the other party. If she loses, she will be slapped three times; if she wins, she will be slapped three times. She I never got tired of it during my lifetime, and I still don’t want to give up this hobby after my death.”

……

"good."

Matthew let out a long sigh of relief.

The stone fell to the ground.

No keyword that caused his myocardial infarction appeared.

He likes to find someone to wrestle wrists, slap his face, and so on. In Matthew's opinion, he is too flirtatious.

With so many zombies and skeletons, she can play as she pleases.

She couldn't have slapped all the undead, could she?
As for "Spell Enlightenment".

It is also a keyword with great potential.

It does not represent an ability, but the awakening of a type of ability.

"It seems that the storm shooter is not a pure long-range physical profession, she also needs to master some spells to assist shooting."

Matthew realizes that Stormshooter might be an advanced class for rangers.

Although the rangers are proficient in each of them, they can also learn a little magic.

Renee Smee currently seems to be an unconventional ranger with a sea-oriented development.

It's time for the blue sky and white clouds.

Matthew decided to start with bittersweet and look at the white ones first.

……

"Seagull Trap (White): Renee Smee has experienced the great famine during sea adventures, so she is very good at making special traps that can be used to hunt seagulls."

"Canning (White): Renee Smee experienced a severe sepsis epidemic during her adventures at sea, so she learned from an old sailor how to make and preserve canned tangerines, this sweet and delicious food. Help her and her crew resist that dreadful death."

"Compass usage skills (white): As a former captain of a pirate ship, Renee Smee can use a compass as a matter of course. She can easily tell the direction of the sea on a starry night."

……

"The essence of strengthening is indeed to tap the ability of the previous life."

Matthew felt a little emotional.

Unexpectedly, Miss Zombie was once a majestic captain of a pirate ship during her lifetime.

Combining the characteristics of love to wrestle wrists and slap hands.

Maybe he had a bad personality when he was alive.

This completely overturned Matthew's quiet and dazed image when she first met.

The above three white keywords are all unpretentious.

In certain occasions, they can definitely come in handy.

……

"Consecutive back jump (blue): When Renesme is approached by someone, she will use continuous back jump to quickly distance herself from the enemy, and use her bow and arrow to repel the enemy as much as possible."

"False Surrender (Blue): If the enemy gets close and cannot get rid of it in a short period of time, Renesme will choose to pretend to surrender, and then take advantage of the unpreparedness, or run away, or cooperate with "continuous back jump" to pull away from the body and fight back against the enemy people."

"Medium enlightenment (blue): Renesme has the mind of an eight or nine-year-old human child.

She can understand almost everything you say, but due to the physical structure of the undead, she can only speak a few simple words.

In particular, Renee Smee was eager to learn languages.

At the same time, she is also eager to communicate with her master (伱) or others. "

……

False surrender and continuous back jump?
You can make a sinister and cunning duo with A Bing to debut at sea.

Matthew complained in his heart.

"Moderate Enlightenment" is good though.

A Bing only had a "primary enlightenment" before, and after strengthening it once, he was only as good as Renesmee.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Renee Smee looked at Matthew with a smirk.

Matthew wiped her saliva skillfully, and her strong longing came from the undead contract.

Matthew knew that she wanted to speak, but it was not that simple for zombies to speak the common language of mankind.

So he tried to communicate with Renee Smee:
"Don't worry, say it word by word, for example, me?"

He points to himself:

"I am your 'Master'. "

"Yes, master."

"Call the master."

Renesme opened her mouth wide:
"Ah, ah, ah..."

Matthew tried for a few minutes, but Miss Zombie was still only able to speak, which made him gradually lose interest in teaching.

Night fell gradually.

An owl flapped its wings and flew over from the moonlight:

"Matthew, I abide by the agreement and give birth to you!"

Matthew expressed a strong welcome to Ella's arrival.

Miss Owl perched on his shoulder, looking curiously at the "ahhhhhh" Renee Smee.

"Matthew, what are you doing?"

Ella asked.

"I'm teaching her to speak the lingua franca."

Matthew explained.

He looked back at Renee Smee, and tried again:
"Call me master."

Renee Smee said "ahhhhhh" a few times, and suddenly her throat rolled, and she cried out crisply:

"mom!"

Ella suddenly showed a shocked expression.

Matthew was also taken aback.

He was just about to explain to Ella that he didn't teach the word himself.

Who knew that Ella would say to Renee Smee in a serious manner:

"Then what do you call me?"

Renee Smee looked at her suspiciously.

Ella looked at Miss Zombie expectantly:

"What's the name of the one with mom?"

Renee Smee was drooling, and suddenly grunted:
"uncle."

Ella was suddenly full of question marks.

……

At night, Matthew and Ella worked hard in the greenhouse all night, and eventually Ella was exhausted. The oak seeds sprouted vigorously, and they will grow into saplings suitable for planting in a short time.

With Ella's help, Matthew's imminent sapling shortage was finally resolved.

As for the oak seeds, through the official channels of Rolling Stone Town, they can still receive some scattered ones. Although the quality is very average, they can still be used.

Under the effect of the Temperance Domain, Matthew's mentality has also become more peaceful.

He is no longer eager to pursue a temporary promotion.

Instead, he chose to devote more energy to the basics while ensuring a certain amount of tree planting every day, and to improve himself in a down-to-earth manner.

The next morning.

Matthew went to the Crucible House again, and he submitted the two drafted reports to the Alliance through the channel of Tarling 177.

According to 177.

He is a B1 leader in the league and has a special fast channel, which can make Matthew's ceremony application approved faster.

But in fact.

Matthew didn't intend to wait for the alliance's permission before performing the scorched-earth ceremony of death.

His current status is very ambiguous. He has joined the alliance with one foot, but he has not fully joined. This allows him to have the greatest flexibility in interpretation.

As long as Rhaegar can agree.

He doesn't care when the alliance will reply!
Since the oak forest was temporarily settled down, and Matthew heard the news that Zeller was coming back from the South Trading Station today, he read a book in the cauldron room for a while, and then went straight to the Lord's Mansion to go to work.

But on the way to work.

He met the huge albatross again - sweet girl.

Sweetie swayed awkwardly, letting go of the letter from her mouth.

Matthew found a place to stand by the side of the road, opened the letter and read it.

Lorraine's letter was also long.

He first explained his current whereabouts——

After going out to sea on a whaling ship, Lorraine quickly went north with the help of ocean currents, and arrived at Deep Blue Harbor not long after.

Deep Blue Harbor is a famous city on the east coast, known for its romance and freedom.

In the first half of the letter, Lorraine mainly mentioned some miscellaneous events around Deep Blue Harbor.

For example, the Lion City in the north of Deep Blue Harbor is currently preparing its troops, and has already annexed seven or eight nearby territories through marriages, wars, and conspiracy to subvert.

Deep Blue Harbor also seemed to feel the chill from the north.

The lord and his seven daughters are trying to find a way;
On the surface of the sea, the battle between the guardian of the east and the evil dragon in the sea caused a large-scale tsunami, and countless mysterious islands appeared and disappeared.

The aftermath of the battle even reached the heavens.

Some claim to have seen an Eastern fairyland on the waters of the Endless Ocean.

Some people say that it is the floating city of the ancient Naga.

Some people even think that it is part of the ruins on the cloud, where several gods of the Enlightenment Age also fell;
The East Coast Society of Astrologers publicly announced that changes in the celestial phenomena will lead to intensified activities of giant dragons. At present, there are indeed several giant dragons active on the continent of Aindor.

The cities on the east coast have always been famous for their wealth, and the owners of many city-states have begun to make plans to deal with the dragon disaster.

All of these, but he didn't leave any news in the letter that the bard could get his hands on.

This surprised Matthew.

The news in my letter is probably more complete than Rhaegar's Alliance Weekly!

Only in the second half.

When referring to Lorraine's personal life.

The painting style suddenly changed.

This is how Lorraine described his experience in Deep Blue Harbor——

……

"...When I was young, I had an indissoluble relationship with this city, and every corner of this place allows me to see the figures of those couples back then——

That was me when I was young and them when I was young.

Yesterday, when I passed the Corridor of Fallen Leaves, I saw a couple of young men and women laughing and playing on the lawn. Their shadows were stretched continuously on the lawn. In a trance, I seemed to have returned to the ignorant and high-spirited age.

I seem to see their shadows chasing and frolicking with me on the lawn.

But when I subconsciously walked over and reached out to touch those shadows, they laughed and pushed me away, saying that I was old and could not play with them.

I can only watch them disappear in front of me.

Of course I knew it was just my hallucination.

I also know that with my current charms, it's just as easy to find a young girl for a sweet romance.

But I seem to have suddenly lost the motivation to do so.

I suddenly don't know why I want to return to this city.

When I was at sea, I was so eager to set foot on the land of Deep Blue Harbor.

But now, it's a completely different state of mind.

How to describe this feeling.

This is like a delicacy that you recall very much. It originally only existed in your perfect memory, but when you trek through thousands of mountains and rivers and overcome all difficulties to come to it.

You will find that it doesn't seem to be that delicious.

Deep Blue Harbor is still that Deep Blue Harbor.

There are young and beautiful girls everywhere.

But Deep Blue Harbor doesn't seem to be the same Deep Blue Harbor it was back then.

Maybe it's because the girls who were willing to do ridiculous things with me when I was young are gone.

This feeling troubles me so much that I am compelled to write to you.

If you can understand this feeling, please write back and let me know as soon as possible.

At present, I have found a serious job in Deep Blue Harbor, and I will not leave in the short term. If you consider visiting Deep Blue Harbor, I welcome you at any time!

Thank you!

- yours, Lorraine"

……

After reading it, Matthew hurried to his office.

He wrote—

……

"I am very grateful for the information about Deep Blue Harbor.

Sorry I can't empathize with you.

If I had to comment on the soft and tactful mood in the second half of your letter.

I can only give one word in answer—

Hypocritical.

- Matthew, outspoken"

……

Of course Matthew couldn't empathize with Lorraine.

Although he is also very popular with the opposite sex, but most of them are not normal human beings.

And he doesn't intend to waste energy on love in the near future.

After writing.

He handed the envelope to the albatross waiting at the window in complete comfort.

"Give my regards to Lorraine."

Matthew said something casually.

Unexpectedly, Tian Niu actually said:
"Last time I forgot to take that ceramic bottle back, and Lorraine told me specifically, where's the bottle?"

Matthew said in surprise:
"You can talk?"

Sweetie nodded:

"Of course I will, but you didn't talk to me last time, so I'm embarrassed to speak up. After all, I'm just an albatross, and I can't behave too abnormally in human society.

So what about the bottle? "

Seeing that he failed to change the topic, Matthew could only hand over the ceramic bottle used to contain the plague field to Tian Niu.

The albatross didn't hesitate and took off directly.

Matthew sighed.

After a while, Rega in pajamas walked over excitedly:
"Matthew, you have no idea what I just saw!"

He also held a thick copy of the League Weekly in his hand.

Matthew lazily said:

"Good morning, my lord, what can make you make such a fuss?"

Rhaegar said mysteriously:

"Do you know Deep Blue Harbor? It's a beautiful and rich city on the east coast. I read on the news that due to the pressure of the war in the Northern Lion City, the owner of Deep Blue Harbor publicly chose a son-in-law. Do you know how many people he has?" a daughter?"

Matthew replied calmly:
"7?"

Rega was startled and said:
"how do you know?"

Matthew smiled:
"Is there any other news?"

Rega glanced at him suspiciously, then looked down at the contents of the newspaper:

"Affected by the fierce battle between the evil dragon in the sea and the guardian of the east, a tsunami appeared in some areas of the east coast. Some people saw a city in the clouds above the endless ocean. Many people speculated..."

Before he finished speaking, Matthew added:

"People speculate that the city may be the Eastern Fairyland, the Naga Floating Void City, or the ruins on the clouds?"

Rhaegar stared and said:
"You peeked at my newspaper? No, it was delivered just now?"

Matthew smiled triumphantly:
"You should be happy that your spell advisor has his own intelligence channel, my lord."

At the same time, he thought that the serious job Lorraine was looking for would not be the editor of Alliance Weekly, right?

Rhaegar was right after thinking about it carefully.

So he excitedly asked Matthew:

"Then do you think there is any man of the right age in our territory who has a chance to catch up with the daughter of the Lord of Dark Blue Harbor?"

Matthew looked at him strangely:
"Rolling Stone Town and the east coast are thousands of miles away. Why are you thinking about this? It's as if our people have a chance to meet the princess of Deep Blue Harbor."

Rhaegar just wanted to say something when he heard the words.

At this moment, Zeller walked in hurriedly, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Has the haunting been resolved?"

Rhaegar took the coffee from Madam Wesley, took a sip and asked.

Zeller nodded:

"I found out that the source of the haunting is a group of high-level ghosts, but they don't seem to be very aggressive. I played hide-and-seek with them for a few days, and finally reached a deal with them. They have left the South Trading Post now. They should be They hid in the dungeon, and in the short term, they should stop harassing us."

Rhaegar said strangely:

"How come things in the dungeon have been running outside recently, is the Underdark so terrifying that even ghosts can't live there?"

Zeller shrugged.

In good time, Matthew handed over his plan on the scorched earth of death.

After he read it carefully, his eyes lit up:
"I think this plan is feasible, but the actual effect depends on the situation in the test field. What do you think? Rega."

Rhaegar thought for a while:
"I have also asked a few old men in the past few days. They don't seem to be very optimistic about it, but they all think it is possible to try it. Since you agree, let's try it."

"But Matthew, you must remember to be careful. This is Rolling Stone Town. I don't want anything on this land to affect my people's ability to thrive and live in peace and contentment. Do you understand?"

Matthew nodded emphatically.

The three chatted for a while.

Zeller suddenly asked:

"How is your Transfiguration?"

Matthew pointed helplessly at the three sheep on the ground and said:
"It's not going well. I seem to lack talent in the field of transformation. It's strange to say that through these days of hard work, I can clearly perceive what kind of existence a goat is, but I still have no way to transform living things into Whole goat."

With that said, he ran back to the office and brought out a little pig.

Matthew uses Malicious Polymorph on Piggy.

Bang it.

The piglet is covered with white wool, and its limbs have the appearance of a goat, but its ears, nose, and tail are still piggy-like.

Matthew spread his hands:

"Look, that's the way it is, always close."

Zeller observed for a while, and said strangely:

"I don't think there's anything wrong with your Transfiguration, wait—I know what's wrong!"

He clapped his hands and asked Matthew:
"Did you not have even a trace of malice towards the target of the spell when you cast the spell?"

Matthew said in amazement:
"Do you still need to be malicious?"

Zeller said:
"Of course!"

"Think about the name of this spell, Malicious Transfiguration!"

"If you always use the transformation technique on the target with good intentions, of course you won't be able to change it in place!"

Matthew suddenly realized.

It turned out that I was stuck here!

But soon he wondered again:

"This little pig looks so cute, it's hard for me to feel bad about it."

Zeller thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Rhaegar:
"Rega, help Matthew."

Rhaegar put down the newspaper and asked inexplicably:
"How to help?"

Zeller laughed:

"When you were young, what you were good at was 'provocation', don't tell me that you forgot your housekeeping skills. "

Rhaegar thought for a while:
"It's not difficult."

With that said, he provocatively said to Matthew:

"Look at your skinny appearance, you must have never had enough to eat since you were a child, right?"

"Learning a spell would waste the lives of so many little lambs, why not change careers and become a chef."

Matthew was expressionless.

Zeller encouraged:
"Come on, Rhaegar."

Rega thought about it again, and suddenly smiled lewdly:
"Your mom said I was great in bed last night!"

Matthew's face was sullen.

But soon the anger subsided.

Because his mother is not in this world.

Zeller encouraged again:
"Take out the skills you had when you challenged the Succubus Queen!"

Rhaegar had no choice but to put down the newspaper and said:
"Your forest was burned by me."

And at that very moment.

A primal rage exploded in Matthew's mind.

That anger quickly turned into malice.

He instinctively raised his hand.

A light flashed.

There is a goat behind the desk!
"You did it, Matthew!"

Zeller congratulated.

Matthew is also full of joy.

He was just about to say something.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a youthful and beautiful figure ran in from the outside.

She greeted the two of them, then looked left and right for a while, and asked strangely:

"Where's my dad?"

"Isn't he always here at this point?"

at this time.

The goat behind the desk blew.

Instantly caught Sif's attention.

……

　There will be nothing more at [-] o’clock tomorrow afternoon. My heart suddenly feels uncomfortable. Please take half a day off to go to the hospital to have a look. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve written too much recently, I’m too tired, or it’s the sequelae of the new crown. I’m sorry
