Matthew quickly put down the spoon, his eyes shining:
"No wonder I've never heard anything about the lord's wife, are there any more details?"
Paige shrugged:
"That's all I heard. After that conversation, the couple couldn't wait to start having sex. I thought they would continue chatting afterwards, so I hid under their bedroom window until dawn, but it turned out to be useless.
Waited all night!”
Matthew scooped another spoonful of soup for himself:
"What a pity."
Immediately.
He reminded seriously:
"Next time, don't squat until dawn. It's very dangerous. Your stealth skills are not enough to come and go freely at dawn."
Peggy nodded and said:
"What you said makes sense. I was almost hit by someone that day."
Matthew quickly asked:
"What happened next?"
Peggy said happily:
"Fortunately, the man of the house came back at dawn, and the house immediately became noisy. Everyone was attracted, so I took advantage of the chaos and ran out."
Man of the house?
Matthew was shocked:
"So the couple you heard talking to were having an affair?"
Paige crossed her arms:
"Otherwise why would I call them dogs and men?"
Matthew coughed:
"Which family is it?"
Peggy looked at him suspiciously:
"Why do you want to have an affair too?"
puff!
Matthew almost sprayed soup in her face.
"No, I'm just curious, so I can just ask."
He denied it flatly.
Paige crossed her legs:
…
"It's No. 27, White Narcissus Street in the Craftsman District. Their male owner is named Bliss. He is a down-to-earth shoemaker with a very good reputation;
The hostess's name is Jenny. She was once a maid in the lord's palace and served the former lord's wife. Jenny is not good-looking, but she has a really hot figure. I want to touch a few bones from her body.
As for the adulterer that night, I judged from the voice that he was a groom of Lord Blood Banner, and his name should be Dagan."
…
"The adulterer that night? Does that mean there are others?"
Matthew wiped his mouth with a napkin, inadvertently showing the sensitivity that only a druid has.
"Of course, Jenny is famous in the Craftsman District for being open to all comers, and she has more lovers than she can count on two hands."
Paige's legs are getting higher and higher:
"But if you want to know, I can also list the names of Jenny's lovers."
"Thank you, but no need."
Matthew was quite emotional:
"Peggy, it seems that even if you change your profession to work in intelligence, you can still become a supervisor."
Peggy suddenly became happy:
"Matthew, have you finally discovered my excellence?"
"Then when will you give me a salary increase?"
"I've already used up all the soul crystals from last month!"
Matthew stood up skillfully, inadvertently showing the indifference only a necromancer can have:
“Definitely next time!”
"Damn the Necromancer!"
In the restaurant.
The roar of the tauren skeleton could not subside for a long time.
…
Early next morning.
Matthew made a special trip to the police station again.
He compiled his guesses from last night on a piece of paper and handed them to Brad along with the secret letter.
The latter's expression became much more solemn after reading it.
When leaving the police station.
Matthew noticed that several members of the garrison were yawning, as if they had just returned from patrol duty. In the past, there were almost no night shifts in the security station.
"It seems that the Blood Banner Lord has strengthened the security duties near the town, but I don't know if the territorial roads, trading stations and border highway sentries have received the same level of attention."
Matthew didn't think too much about it.
He just did everything he could.
Let the Blood Banner Lord take care of the rest.
…
noon.
The breeze is gentle.
Matthew stood on the hillside on the southwest side of the oak forest to select a site for the next work.
Master Ronan's land has been completely covered by oak forests.
If Matthew wants to expand his planting area, he has to get involved in other people's land.
He looked into the distance.
The map around the oak forest was sketched in his mind:
…
To the southwest is Rolling Stone, which doesn't have much room for expansion;
…
In the southeast are some large and small farms. Most of the crops in Rolling Stone Town grow here. Most of the land here has been purchased by farmers. There is also not much room for oak tree planting;
…
To the northeast is an ownerless wasteland, but there is a "Scar of the Dead" blocking it. Farther away are barren mountains and Hagba Castle, which are unlucky no matter how you look at them;
Only the land in the northwest is most suitable.
But that is the private land of the Blood Banner Lord. If Matthew wants to plant trees on it, he must at least seek permission from the city hall.
"Lord Blood Banner shouldn't reject me because of prejudice, right?"
Matthew was a little embarrassed.
Archmage Ronan had reminded him long ago that Lord Blood Banner was a very good person, but he only hated the Necromancer.
Yesterday he got another reason from Paige.
He could understand Lord Blood Banner’s hatred for Wu Wu and Wu.
But he didn't want to save Xifu's life in exchange for the right to plant trees on the other party's land.
All in all, it's a pain in the ass.
"If it doesn't work, just challenge the Mark of the Dead! At worst, I'll plant a large oak forest along the edge to cover the Mark of the Dead!"
Matthew cheered himself up.
Tired of choosing a location.
He rested against an oak tree.
The afternoon sun is shining brightly.
Makes you sleepy.
Matthew yawned and was about to take a nap.
suddenly.
A violent tremor around him woke him up from his dazed state!
"This is……?"
Matthew looked around blankly.
He saw that the oak trees around him were growing at an incredible speed!
It grew from three or four meters in reality to three or four hundred meters in front of me in one breath!
Endless shade covers everything.
Matthew stood up from the ground.
He looked up at the oak forest.
And the oak forest was watching him.
Matthew could hear them whispering.
…
"Ah, it's amazing! A necromancer! He has such perseverance!"
"I hate the Necromancer, but I don't hate him. What's going on?"
"Perhaps there are some weirdos among the Necromancers, or maybe he just made a mistake. We should give him this opportunity to take the test."
…
Matthew walked quietly in the dark woods.
A deer radiating pure white light ran past him.
Two woodpeckers are playing with each other overhead.
When he passed by a pond, a frog wearing a gentleman's hat said hello to him.
finally.
He came to a waterfall deep in the woods.
The waterfall drops thousands of feet.
A large number of green light spots flow up the waterfall.
"This light spot..."
Matthew's heart moved.
next moment.
A hawk-faced man appeared next to him, and the latter said dullly:
"You are not qualified to explore here yet."
Finish this sentence.
The scene around Matthew seemed to move backwards!
Whoosh!
The green vision disappeared without a trace.
Matthew sat in a daze under the oak tree.
below the taskbar.
The green light spot on the right side of the Tai Chi symbol has been completely consumed!
…
"Hint: You successfully set foot in the natural sub-area 'Oak' and completed a short stay there!
…
As a reward for getting involved in the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities -
…
1. Summon tree people (in a forest that is more than 500 years old, you can recruit several tree people partners)
…
2. Woodpecker Contract (you will obtain Wilderness Form: Woodpecker, and gain 3x flying speed)
…
3. Natural saving throw (your Fortitude +2)"
…
Matthew's eyes lit up.
What's there to hesitate about?
Just choose 3!
That moment.
Matthew vaguely saw a green light pouring into his body.
He could feel his body getting stronger.
"One point of toughness can provide a 20% effect increase. My immunity ability in related fields is now 44% stronger than before."
Matthew was in a very happy mood.
Although it can't be compared with the toughness of sword masters, monks, etc. which can easily go up to 10 points.
But at least it was the first step towards refusing to die violently.
…
"It is detected that you have met two of the three elements of legend (legend/domain), and you have started the path to legend in advance!
…
The Way of Legend (Grudge)
…
Keywords: immortality & nature
…
Field situation:1/6
…
Revelation 1: Weak body, low mana, poor mind, ignorant soul - the way of legend will be opened in you. This may be just the mercy of God, or more likely the error of the law. You should not have any expectations for legend.
Have extravagant hopes!
Returning to the normal path honestly is your only way to save yourself.
…
Revelation 2: Life and death, destruction and rebirth, do not always seem to be in conflict.
You have found an unprecedented road. No matter the mud or thorns, you should keep going all the way.
…
Please choose a revelation as the slogan of your legendary way! (Different revelations mean different legendary ways and different subsequent rewards)
..."
…
Single choice question.
Matthew directly won "Revelation 2".
Next.
As long as he can continue to explore and implement his own legendary way.
Then he will have the opportunity to master some legendary abilities in advance.
And after becoming a legend.
His power will also be stronger than ordinary legends!
So far.
Matthew finally understood the meaning of the Tai Chi symbol.
It is exactly the embodiment of the "Legendary Way" in Matthew!
The general direction has been set.
Next, he can only follow the two keywords of 'immortality' and 'nature'.
"The green dot is full and the oak field has been opened once, but what about the gray dot?"
Matthew was looking forward to it.
But just at this time.
There was new news flashing before his eyes.
…
"You have completed the enlightenment in the Oak Domain. The current domain situation is: first entry.
…
You gain a permanent status 'Extended Life'
…
Description: Your lifespan +100 years
…
You have obtained a temporary status of "no pain, double harvest"
…
