MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 15 Late Night Visitor

  …

   "Is this the charm of "Natural Heart"? "

   Matthew was overjoyed.

  The disadvantage of ephemeral species has always been the greatest pain for human beings on the way to explore the truth.

  Many spellcasters go to any lengths to prolong life.

  The lich is one of the products of people's pursuit of eternal life.

  Can if can prolong life naturally.

  Who wants to turn himself into a cold, undead thing?

   Matthew had a hunch.

   Accompanied by my deeper and deeper exploration of the "oak tree" field.

   There is still a lot of room for extending your lifespan!

   Compared with the one-time improvement of "prolonging life and longevity".

   "Double Harvest" stimulated the fire of labor in Matthew's heart.

   "Planting 10 trees can be strengthened once, if I plant 1000 trees at one go - strengthen +100 skeleton soldiers?"

  He was thoroughly excited.

  Although it is a bit of a fantasy to plant 1000 trees within 30 days.

   But as long as the planning is reasonable, 200~300 trees are still possible.

  It's spring now.

   is the most suitable season for planting trees.

  In order to maximize the progress of planting trees.

   Matthew decided to do both—

  Tonight he will write a report to the city hall to apply for planting trees on the blood banner lord's land.

   And tomorrow morning.

  He officially launched a challenge to the wasteland in the direction of the Scar of the Dead!

  …

  …

   "You planted a sapling, and you used 'fast growth' on the sapling!

  …

   Planted successfully, your natural affinity has been slightly improved!

  …

  伱 Obtained 1 point of enhanced experience (10 points have been accumulated)

  …

   You gained 10 XP

   (Your level can no longer be improved, the remaining XP has been credited, please advance as soon as possible)”

  …

  The next afternoon.

  Matthew is resting on the back of a boulder.

  The oak tree just planted is about forty or fifty meters away.

  But Matthew couldn't sense the vitality in it.

  The root cause of this phenomenon is the dark scar on the earth on the other side of the boulder.

   "These marker stones near the Scar of the Dead are said to have been set up by the Lord of the Blood Banner, and they are found in the territory of Rolling Stone Town. This can indeed prevent ordinary people from straying into dangerous places—provided that the Scar of the Dead will not spread."

  Matthew wiped off his sweat, his eyes were very serious.

  He has been in Rolling Stone Town for less than three years, and the spread of the scar of the dead is visible to the naked eye.

three years ago.

   There is a distance of more than ten meters between the edge of the Scar of the Dead and the marker stone.

   And now the two are almost stuck together.

   It's not hard to imagine what it will be like in a few years.

   This is why he planted the new oak further away.

  He has to leave enough buffer for the spread of Scar of the Dead in the next few years.

   "I'm so tired..."

   Today's tree planting goal has been completed.

  But it is not easy to open up wasteland near the Scar of the Dead. The terrain here is complex and the land is barren. There are many factors that he has to consider.

  The only consolation is that the Gold Digger Basin has a rich underground water system. As long as the oak trees take root, at least they will not die of thirst.

   "The few trees planted today are too sparse to form a group effect, and the ability to resist disasters will also decline..."

   inspected the area that may be involved in tomorrow.

  Matthew thought as he walked back.

   Accompanied by the continuous expansion of the oak forest.

   It takes him longer and longer to commute between his home and the woods.

  Usually that's all.

  But right now is the time to race against time to increase the number of enhancements.

  He was going to ask someone to build a cabin in the oak forest.

   At least this month.

  He is planning to get into the woods and never come out!

  …

evening.

  City Hall was empty towards closing time.

  Ms. Liz's unique loud voice came from only one office:

   "Do you want to plant trees on the lord's private land?"

"Yes."

  Matthew handed over the application politely.

  He is a fastidious person.

  As for the various official rules and regulations, as long as they are not particularly excessive, he is willing to abide by them.

  This application was written with reference to previous years' model documents processed by City Hall.

  He is confident that no one else can find fault with the content and format.

   Sure enough.

   Liz raised her eyebrows after reading:

   "The words are beautiful."

"Thanks."

  Matthew smiled.

   "I will help you submit the application. In theory, there will be no problems, because this land has always been entrusted to our city hall by the lord.

   There was a businessman who wanted to contract it there, and he wanted to build a small mine there, but this proposal was ultimately rejected by us.

  At that time, there were enough mining factories around Rolling Stone Town, you have never seen that scene, there is thick smoke everywhere..."

  Liz gushed:

"But then guess what, the minerals disappeared overnight! The owners of the mines also lost their fortunes, and the businessman made a special trip to thank us later. I still remember that he sent two boxes of apples to Mr. Ormon wine, but only sent me a case."

  Matthew listened quietly.

  He has also heard many anecdotes about the minerals in Rolling Stone Town. In many versions of the legend, those minerals disappeared overnight.

  Some people say that the lord of Rolling Stone Town offended the ore elf, but Matthew knows that this thing doesn't exist!

   Some people also say that this is a curse from purgatory, and that Rolling Stone Town, which has lost its minerals, will become poor because of this.

   In fact, Rolling Stone Town has not weakened because of this.

  The Lord of the Blood Banner established two major trading stations, one south and one north, on the border of the territory, which respectively blocked the trade routes leading to the hinterland of the Hundred Human Cities and Eversong Forest in the southwest and northeast directions.

  The business of the trading station is extremely prosperous, and even the economy of Rolling Stone Town is always in a thriving state.

  In recent years, the handicraft industry in the town has developed rapidly, and various small workshops have emerged in an endless stream, which vaguely means industrialization.

   This may be the credit of the Lord of the Blood Banner, but in Matthew's view, the five-member committee that handles various government affairs all the year round is also indispensable.

  Ms. Liz in front of her is one of them.

   About Liz.

   Matthew doesn't know much.

  He had the impression that this woman was mean and picky, loved to gossip, and had a bad reputation in the town.

  But she also loves her work and is diligent.

   This can be seen from the fact that other officials have already left work, and she is still processing documents in the office.

the most important is.

  She is Brad's mother, the blood banner lord's distant cousin, and Sif's aunt.

   In a sense.

   Liz represented the will of the Lord of the Blood Banner in the committee of five.

   This is why Matthew made a special trip to find her to apply.

  …

After one hour.

  It was completely dark outside.

   "Okay young man, thank you for listening to my nagging, there are not many young people as patient as you."

   Liz lit a candle and continued to process the file:

   "Go back, I will help you implement your application as soon as possible. After the committee approves, I will notify you as soon as possible."

   Matthew stood up nodding his head. He loosened his muscles and bones, and made a crackling sound all over his body.

   "By the way, Matthew, I remember that you are also a necromancer. What do you think of the rumor these days?"

   Liz suddenly stopped him, with a gossiping look in her eyes.

  Matthew thought about it:

   "You mean the necromancer with the bone dragon? I hear he almost got **** by the garrison."

   Liz shook her head:

   "The version you heard is wrong. That necromancer seems to be a friend rather than an enemy. He not only saved... um, uh... Anyway, he doesn't seem to be a bad person."

   She seems to realize that some things cannot be said casually.

  Matthew smiled gently:

   "Necromancer is just a profession, of course not necessarily a bad person."

   Liz looked at him with great interest:

  …

   "Let's say you? A necromancer who likes to plant trees?

   To be honest, I really think you are delayed by the adventurer profession.

  Look at you, Matthew, what a handsome boy!

  Even compared to my Brad, your appearance is not inferior.

  As long as you nod, I will be happy to introduce you to some daughters from good families..."

  …

   Matthew suddenly felt ashamed:

   "I, I think I'm far inferior to Brad."

  Liz was delighted when she heard the words:

   "Don't say that, Matthew, I think you are much more pleasing to the eye than my brat."

   "That's it. Tomorrow, you come to me to get the approval document. You can plant whatever you want on the Lord Lord's land!"

  Matthew was surprised: "Is there no need for approval?"

   Liz waved her hand: "It's just an administrative process, and the lord won't really get involved in political affairs. He's busy taking care of his daughter these days. I still have the right to do so."

   "As long as you don't turn that land into a mass grave, you can do anything!"

   Matthew was overjoyed.

  So he flattered Liz a few more times.

   Coaxed the middle-aged lady to lean forward and backward with laughter.

   Wait until late at night.

  After Matthew came out of the city hall and sent Liz home.

  He not only received the approval in advance.

   Also applied for a tree planting subsidy.

   The money is about 200 gold coins.

   It was allocated from the small coffers of the Lord of the Blood Banner himself.

  This experience made Matthew feel a lot.

  Thousands of words come together in one sentence:

   "Brad's mother is awesome!"

  …

  …

   Another night.

basement.

   "Peggy, have a cup of coffee!"

  Matthew yelled twice but got no response.

   I had to get up and do it myself.

   "At this point, she won't be listening to the corner under the window again?"

  The strong aroma of coffee washed away a little drowsiness.

  Matthew muttered a few words.

   Attention returned to the spell book in front of him.

  …

   "Introduction to the Thunder Sword: Take you to explain it in a simple way"

  …

   However, it didn't take long for him to look at it.

  A brass bell with a thin wire hanging from it hummed.

   This is someone ringing a bell outside the fence.

   Late night visitor?

  Matthew frowned.

  …
