MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 12 Defensive Psalms and Loose Gloves

  …

  For Matthew, who has always been low-key and pragmatic, the legend seems to be premature.

  But the same rules as the previous game still made him feel a little relieved.

   legend.

   refers to those who are above level 21, who have mastered the power of the domain and are well-known outsiders.

  The above three elements are indispensable.

  And an adventurer who wants to open the "Legendary Path" cannot avoid the three aspects of "level", "field" and "prestige".

Under normal circumstances.

   Domain elements are the most difficult to master, followed by levels, and reputation is the easiest to handle—

   Especially for those who are good at cheating and self-promotion, grabbing reputation in a certain area is as simple as eating and drinking.

  So Matthew didn't have much expectation for the early opening of the Legendary Way.

   "I can save a lot of trouble by meeting Brad here, otherwise I have to send it to the Lord's Mansion myself."

   It is very safe to hand Sif to Brad Matthew.

  This bearded man is not only a reliable captain of the garrison, he is also Sif's cousin in terms of blood.

   Even more rare.

  Brad actually offered to keep a secret for himself.

   "I don't know what he will tell other people, and how he will report to his uncle, the Lord of the Blood Banner..."

  The return journey was brisk.

   Not for a while.

  The simple fence on the edge of Rolling Stone Town can be seen faintly.

  Matthew waved at the bone dragon behind him.

"Let's go back!"

  Xiao Boil's original place is the negative energy plane. Although the contract has been signed, Matthew still needs a lot of mana to maintain it if he wants to summon him to the main material world.

  With his mere level 8 mana, it is already very difficult to survive until now.

   If it weren't for the test duration by the way.

   He might have pushed it back long ago.

   "Boiling..."

   The bone dragon soul fire swayed, revealing an obvious reluctance.

   "Go, you were great tonight, keep up this performance, maybe there will be rewards in the future!"

  Matthew skillfully drew the pie.

  …

   "Thanks to your encouragement, Philoreus (Bone Dragon)'s loyalty to you has increased to 93!"

  …

  The gray reverse summoning circle lights up.

  Xiao Bo shook his tail, his huge body suddenly disappeared, leaving only a few traces of bone meal in the open space.

  Matthew smiled slightly upon seeing this.

   "This bone dragon is much easier to use than I imagined!"

   Then the next second.

  …

"Necromantic contract: this official summoning has ended, your summoned object, Philoreus, is going all out for tonight's battle, but during this period, it has consumed a lot of energy, which is very important for its existence in the negative energy plane. Survival has had a certain impact.

  Philorius begs you for the reward of this summoning: 5 soul crystals, do you want to pay?

  …

  Option 1: Pay the original price (Philorius’ loyalty has increased and he is willing to share a unique ability with you)

  …

  Option 2: bargain

  …

  Option 3: Refuse to pay (Philorius’ loyalty declines)”

  …

   "5 soul crystals?!"

  Matthew showed an unbelievable look:

   "Peggy's two-month salary is only 1 soul crystal, and it can support Peggy's 300 days in one night?"

  His heart began to convulse!

   Soul crystal.

   is a derivative produced by the necromancer during meditation.

   This thing is extremely precious.

  For high-level necromantic creatures, soul crystals are a must for them to advance. The reason why many intelligent necromantic creatures are willing to sign contracts with necromancers is the stable channel for obtaining soul crystals.

   Paige is an example.

also.

  Soul crystals are also necessary for making magic items, casting undead curses, and arranging undead rituals.

   It can be said to be widely used.

  However, the efficiency of necromancers to produce soul crystals is very low.

  Take Matthew as an example.

   Even if he meditates six hours a day.

  The number of soul crystals that can be obtained in a month is only 3 to 5.

  Through two and a half years.

   Matthew only has more than 20 soul crystals accumulated on hand!

   It's not like he's slacking off on meditation.

   But the overhead is really not small.

   Otherwise, he wouldn't be thinking about how to squeeze Peggy every day...

   "I didn't expect to meet a big eater disguised as a dog licker."

   Matthew shook his head in his heart.

   This bone dragon will not be able to be summoned in the future.

  He can't afford it.

   hesitated again and again.

  Matthew still chose "pay at the original price".

  …

  「Necronomicon contract: You paid 5 soul crystals!

  …

  Philorius is grateful, and his loyalty to you has increased to 96!

  …

  Philorius shared with you its ability 'blind sense'!

  …

  Blindsense (weakened): You can perceive things around you without using conventional audiovisual organs such as vision, hearing, and smell, and any small fluctuations can hardly get rid of your perception.

  …

   You can use this ability to spot invisible units and concealed creatures (except spirits).

  …

  Range: 30 feet"

  …

  This ability is surprisingly good.

   It is the natural enemy of invisible units!

   Matthew's heartache eased a little:

   "Think of it as buying an ability with 5 soul crystals!"

  …

  After midnight.

at home.

   After taking a short break, Matthew regained his energy and began to dig out the spoils from the Miaofa luggage.

   There are actually a lot of supplies in the wizard camp.

  However, the storage space of the Miaofa luggage is very limited, and it is the result of Matthew trying his best to bring back so much.

  Most of these loot came from Warlock Finn himself.

  Compared to Hesse the Arsonist.

  Fin didn't have much currency, only more than a hundred gold coins and a few silver coins. Perhaps most of his money was spent on purchasing prisoners and supplies.

   So in terms of props.

  Fin's net worth can be described as very rich!

  …

   "Guardian Verses (Spell Book)

  Description: When you hold this book in your hand, you can use it as your own spell-casting medium to assist spell-casting, or use it as a charged weapon to guide spell-casting.

  …

  Spell-casting medium: Singing speed +20%; Effect of protection field spells increased

  …

  Rechargeable weapon: You can choose three spells from the list below for quick release every day. After all three spells are consumed, it will take at least twenty-four hours to be fully charged.

  …

  Spell list: arcane lock; dispel magic; crack secret door; spell invalidation barrier; guard inscription; protection from good and evil; magic emblem; Mordencan's private chamber.

  …

   "Guardian Psalm" was found by Matthew from Finn's corpse. Fortunately, it was not destroyed by the bone dragon's claws.

   One swipe and it has a brand new glow.

  This book is only the size of a palm, bound by leather, reinforced with steel and silver, and has a steel lock on the side of the book page, which can only be opened with a key.

   Unfortunately, Matthew did not find the key.

  However, he was not discouraged. The steel lock that comes with the defensive poem is not a secret lock, which means that there is no need to use spells to open it.

  Things that can be opened with a key can often be entrusted to thieves to solve.

   "I remember that there was a well-known locksmith in Baiyan City. Many people said that he was a retired senior thief."

  Matthew thought:

   "It's a pity that I haven't heard of anyone in Rolling Stone Town who is good at picking locks."

  The Defense Psalm is a very good magic weapon, or in other words, the protection spells recorded on it are deeply loved by Matthew.

  As long as someone can be found to open the lock.

   Then it's a perfect replacement for the Witherwood Staff.

  …

  「Blood Source Bottle: When the bottle is filled with dark red 'Blood Origin Liquid', you can quickly restore life by drinking it.

  Description: 1. Every 50ml of blood source fluid can restore 5~6 points of life.

  2. You can slowly refine the blood fluid by injecting plasma into the bottle.

  3. The extraction ratio of plasma (conventional animal or human) and blood source fluid is 10:1.

  …

  Current blood source fluid: 125/150 (ml)”

  …

   This thing is shaped like an ink bottle the size of a baby's fist, but it's filled with a dark red liquid.

  Matthew could feel a faint power of life from it, and there was also an evil aura looming.

   Its origin is estimated to be inseparable from the blood race.

   Prejudice aside.

  The blood source bottle is a little gem.

   A full bottle can restore 18 health points in seconds, which means that it can instantly restore a mid-level fighter from a dying state to about half health.

   This is a baby that can save lives at critical times!

  Matthew solemnly put it in the first compartment of the Miaofa luggage, in case of future contingencies.

   As for plasma.

  Just buy it!

  It's normal for a necromancer to buy some plasma research, right? !

  …

   Among the remaining items, there is a charging staff, which can release five arcane missiles after charging;

  There is a very precious "Boundary Heart Stone". If it is sold in Baiyan City, the price will not be less than 400 gold coins-this is the core material used to construct the cross-plane magic circle;

   There is also a one-handed ax with enchantment +1, which can greatly improve logging efficiency;

   Finally, there is a magic glove.

  …

  「Loose Gloves (Tier 2 Rare Item)

  Description: When you wear this glove and complete the handshake with the target, the opponent's defense against you will be greatly reduced.

  Remarks: Wearing this glove for a long time will greatly reduce your defense against others.”
