…
After putting on an outfit completely different from 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 one big step closer to the necromancer in the popular stereotype.
"Dinner is ready!"
Peggy came over carrying a pot of mushroom fried noodles.
“Come back and eat again!”
Drop this sentence.
Matthew hurried away 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 doesn't look good.
The emergence of suspected arsonists greatly threatens his most important resource.
He's like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.
He became furious in an instant.
According to normal logic.
He should go to the police station for help at this moment.
But once Matthew thought about it, Brad must be very busy with Sif's affairs and might not be able to take care of 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 is no flammable material in this area.
He calmed down the earth and found that the place where the flames ignited seemed to be a farm.
There is 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.
When the enemy's combat strength is unknown, he cannot act recklessly.
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 place he remembered.
It was a huge haystack.
Below the haystack.
There is a place similar to a cellar.
The cellar is not very spacious.
The layout is a bit like Matthew's college dormitory in his previous life.
"puff!"
Matthew opened the iron cover.
Get a little feel for it.
Then he started using the "Summoning of the Dead".
Under the guidance of magic.
Suddenly.
A white hand slapped on the dirt floor at the cellar exit!
Immediately afterwards.
Just one skeleton after another climbed out of it!
Not long after.
On the edge of the haystack were 12 skeleton soldiers with light green soul fire burning inside 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 art of summoning the undead 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 as an 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 a fight, 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 that they are crazy!
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 holy mother among necromancers.
…
"Walk!"
Matthew gave the order.
The skeleton soldiers, whose reaction was slightly delayed, slowly followed his footsteps.
Waves of cold air began to spread.
In the oak forest.
Even the noisy night wind became silent.
It seems that even they are afraid of the coming of the undead.
…
"boom!"
A ball of violent flames exploded in the farmland.
The strong wind fanned the fire.
Seeing the farm gradually being destroyed in the sea of flames.
Wearing a black vest and showing 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. At this time, they attacked Rolling Stone Town without any precautions!"
"Haha, then let me give them a little more shock of fire!"
He strode toward the hillside with rapid strides.
behind him.
Six followers also followed.
"Is everything arranged?"
Heisen asked calmly.
"Don't worry, boss, there is no one left alive, they are 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 it's 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, and burning this forest will bring him a huge increase in strength!
That's about ten times the farm's income.
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 to the halfway point of the hillside.
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?
Hessen'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 religious order, 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!"
Heisen 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 have found your location - didn't Finn tell you what I do? Haha, I am very sensitive to temperature!"
He jokingly said 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 is standing on the hillside.
A large amount of negative energy surged from the tip of the deadwood staff!
…
"Sac of Corruption: Accelerate Infection!"
…
"not good!"
Hessen looked back.
The expressions of the followers 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 from it.
Splash elsewhere on the skin.
The infection starts to become more rapid!
As the infection area continues to spread.
among the crowd.
The aura from the negative plane is getting stronger and stronger!
"Stop scratching, just kill the 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!
…
"The summoning of the dead: the object of contract!
…
Your ability ‘Instant Summon’ is taking effect!
…
Your ability ‘fixed-point fall’ is taking effect!”
…
on the hill.
A large green light circle appeared in the area where the group of people were 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.
Heisen 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..."
Peggy looked at Matthew happily.
"No, throw away the fried noodles, Paige, I want you to fight for me."
