He doesn't need to go to Silver School during the day.
I can just seize the time to complete the final task target.
He carried a few bags of saplings from the greenhouse and hurried out.
Peggy is really meticulous in her work.
In addition to everything needed for planting, she also placed a lunch box and a water bag on the shelf next to the sapling bag - this means that she not only guessed that Matthew was going to do something big today, but also guessed that he would probably
Will forget to get food from the kitchen.
This level of care is a miracle for an undead creature with a low level.
Sometimes Matthew feels that it is not impossible to let Peggy plant trees on his behalf.
But he was just thinking about it.
Although Rolling Stone is not a remote place where magic is extinct, and the Necromancer is far from the point where everyone calls for beatings in the world of Irondor, a walking skeleton will always attract many strange looks.
Not to mention that Peggy is a rare skeleton transformed from a dead minotaur.
Such fanciful stories as "skeletons planting trees" will definitely attract all kinds of criticism in a small place like Rolling Stone.
It's troublesome just thinking about it.
…
Oak Grove North.
Matthew walked steadily and surveyed the land ahead.
He is choosing a site for the saplings.
Planting trees has never been an easy task——
selection;
germination;
Base soil configuration;
Custom planting in greenhouse;
Tree pit site selection;
transplantation and maintenance;
…
Matthew has become familiar with this series of steps over the past three years.
But at the practical level, there are always all kinds of troubles that need to be solved.
For example, now, Matthew has obviously prepared saplings and tools, but has been unable to start work due to difficulties in site selection.
"Rolling Stone is really not a good place to plant trees."
Looking at the billowing black smoke coming from the west.
Matthew was so emotional.
Gold Digger Basin is famous for its various mines. The land here has been plowed back and forth several times by humans and kobolds, both above and below ground. Most places are not suitable for the survival of plants.
That’s all man-made pollution.
Even more terrifying is the big scar in the north!
Matthew stood on the top of a mound and looked north.
"It's close again."
He looked at the black scar spreading from the north with a complicated expression.
…
"Scars of the Dead"
…
Those were the scars left on the earth by a natural disaster many years ago.
It starts from Gem Bay in the east, passes through Jade Cang Garden and Eversong Forest, and ends at the Dukedom of the Human Kingdom and the Gold Digger Basin.
Near the Mark of the Dead.
Life becomes extinct.
Even undead creatures find it difficult to survive.
That is the purest and most violent force of extinction.
Unrivaled by mortals.
…
"There are many similarities between this world and the game world, but there are also many differences; there is no trace of the dead in the game world, and I have never heard of Rolling Stone Town and Jade Cangting - it may be the same universe, but not in the same plane?
"
…
Look back.
Matthew walked down the hill.
Behind him is the growing oak forest, in front of him is a barren and barren land, and behind the oak forest is the town of Rolling Stone with red roofs and yellow bricks.
The three areas are distinct.
Sometimes Matthew feels that the tasks issued by the system may be related to the Mark of the Dead.
Because the more he looked at the oak forest, the more it seemed like a shield in front of the Mark of the Dead.
pity.
"A forest of oak trees alone cannot stop the spread of the Mark of the Dead."
he thought casually.
…
Matthew made a long circle down the hillside.
Finally found a few suitable pit locations.
Although this place is beyond the scope of his plan, it is still a long way from the Trace of the Dead, and the oak saplings planted will not be unable to survive.
Limited by his physique and strength, Matthew can't be said to be vigorous and vigorous in his work, but he is more experienced and seasoned.
He maintains a certain rhythm and speed.
Until the sun rises high into the sky.
The saplings in the sacks have settled down at the foot of the hillside.
Matthew wiped his sweat, took out a bottle of green liquid from his arms, and sprinkled it on the oak saplings one by one.
This is the "green growth liquid" that he bought from the Druid in Watcher Highlands at a high price. It has catalytic and strengthening effects on plants. With long-term watering, one year can support twenty years of natural growth.
Unfortunately, this is the last bottle Matthew has on hand.
these three years.
Matthew invested almost all his savings into the vigorous tree planting business.
Now it's finally time to harvest.
His hands were shaking slightly.
puff.
Drops of green liquid fell.
The small sapling that was wilting just now suddenly started to branch out!
that moment.
Matthew's eyes also glowed.
…
"Successfully planted 5 oak trees, your nature affinity has been slightly improved.
Cumulative number of live oak trees planted and established: 1001
…
You have completed the primary objective of 'Main Mission: Planting Trees'.
You have received the rewards ‘Summoning the Undead (Bone Dragon)’ & ‘Lots of XP’!”
…
"Your level has been raised to level 8!
(Cannot continue to upgrade, the remaining XP has been saved, please upgrade as soon as possible)
…
The level of your Summon the Dead spell has been increased to level 8, and a contract slot has been added!
Your Intelligence +1
Your Wisdom +1
…
You have gained the new ability ‘Instant Summon’!
You have gained a new ability ‘fixed point fall’!
Your ability 'Rot Sac Mastery' is upgraded to 'Rot Sac Proficiency'!
You can learn more advanced spells!
..."
…
Dense information drifted past Matthew's eyes.
A huge sense of satisfaction surged into his heart.
The improvement in attributes and abilities did not exceed Matthew's expectations.
On the other hand, in terms of experience, after upgrading three levels in a row, there is still something left, which can be said to be very generous!
This is much more experience than he gets every day through necromancy meditation!
but.
What Matthew values most is summoning the bone dragon!
…
"Summoning the Undead (Bone Dragon): You can summon a bone dragon to serve you at any time.
Note: The level of this skull dragon does not exceed level 15.
Contract status: Contracted"
…
"It's actually in a contracted state, and it saved me a contract slot!"
Matthew was very satisfied.
Summoning the dead is a specialty skill of the Necromancer, and it will improve as the level increases.
And every time you upgrade two professional levels, there will be one more 'contract slot'.
This is used to create specific summons.
Necromancers consume less mana when summoning contract targets.
The tacit understanding between the two parties is also higher.
It's been a long time.
Some necromancers will even develop feelings for their contracted objects.
…
Kobold Mine.
In a secret underground cave.
Matthew held a dead wood staff and tried to summon a bone dragon for the first time.
A spell sounded.
Supported by the new ability "Instant Summon".
When the first syllable came out of Matthew's mouth, an inverse hexagram array pointing to the negative energy plane flickered in the dark cave, and gray-white bone powder and green phosphorus fire floated from the void like snowflakes.
Matthew looked intently.
A giant skeletal beast that was mostly submerged in the darkness was standing there vigilantly.
"Boiling~"
The blue soul fire lit up from inside the skull of the bone dragon.
It stared at Matthew indifferently.
Matthew became a little nervous when he saw him.
There was a constant 'boiling' sound in the air, like a cave leak.
One person and one dragon were in a stalemate.
Matthew's muscles all over his body were extremely tight.
This is the first time he has faced a monster whose level is nearly twice his own!
The contract he made made him immune to the faint dragon power.
However, the huge pressure placed on the body and the fear caused by the terrifying image cannot be erased.
…
"It's no wonder that people in the world are always biased against necromancers. Things in the necromancy realm are more scary than the last. How many people can look directly at this fear?"
Matthew adjusted his mentality.
He waved the dead wood staff and ordered to the bone dragon:
"Bow down."
The bone dragon's movements were slow but firm.
Its long neck slowly skirted the rocks and ceiling of the cave.
Then it landed firmly on the ground in front of Matthew.
Its mandible is close to the ground.
The blue soul fire jumps one after another.
Somehow.
Matthew actually felt a hint of nervousness from the huge spiritual fire in front of him.
Matthew immediately became happy.
If Gulong is nervous, he won't be nervous anymore.
He boldly stepped on the bone dragon's head.
The latter made a "woo-woo" sound and seemed very docile.
Matthew felt reassured.
He bent down and stroked the bones of the bone dragon.
Dry.
Still very rough.
At first glance, it doesn't look like a precious bone.
"When we get rich, we will definitely give you a good body."
Matthew couldn't help but say something.
"Boiling..."
The bone dragon groaned.
…
"Philoleus (Bone Dragon)'s loyalty to you has been increased to 85!"
…
Matthew is happy.
"Satisfied so easily? I will draw more cakes in the future."
The bone dragon slowly raised its head.
Its magnitude is small.
Matthew was able to overlook the cave from a higher angle——
This place was originally a paradise for gold prospectors. Later, the mineral resources were exhausted and became idle, and it was occupied by a kobold tribe.
After the Blood Flag family took control of Rolling Stone Town, the local lord issued several kobold expulsion orders. Under the hunting of surrounding adventurers and mercenaries, this area gradually became deserted.
As far as Matthew knows.
There are many similar caves in Gold Prospector Basin.
These caves are intricate and complex.
There are rumors that some caves are even connected to a wider underground world.
That's also the direction the kobolds really evacuated.
…
Matthew rarely sets foot in these areas.
But the size of the bone dragon is so big that even this underground cave can hardly accommodate it. You can imagine how much trouble it would cause if it appeared on the surface.
He is a low-key and pragmatic person.
He never intended to hide his identity as a necromancer from the outside world.
But I don't want to cause trouble for no reason.
"Just play in the cave from now on."
Think so.
Matthew carefully inspected the bone dragon's body.
There was another sound of the bone dragon's "boiling" sound coming from under his feet. Matched with the emotion conveyed by the leaping soul fire, it seemed to be somewhat flattering.
The macho image that Matthew had just established in his mind due to the tall and mighty bone dragon suddenly disappeared.
He couldn't help but stamp his feet:
"Your name is so hard to pronounce."
“I’ll call you ‘Xiao Fei’ from now on!”
…
Phileas was at a loss for a while.
Immediately its soul fire began to tremble violently.
Waves of joy flowed through the contract.
…
"Thanks to the grace of giving you the name, Philolius (Bone Dragon)'s loyalty to you has been increased to 90!"
…
Maybe he was too happy.
Xiao Fei's head shook too much.
Matthew was almost thrown off by it!
Fortunately, his perception and agility are both good.
A cool little jump.
Matthew landed firmly in the shadow of the cave.
But at that moment.
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
He turned around and looked in the direction where the strange feeling was coming from his feet.
He stepped on a piece of clothing that was stained with blood.
