MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 174 Equilibrium Domain: Veteran of Flowers and Warlock of Prescription

  …

  The heart of nature and the way of immortality.

   These are the names of the two systems that seamlessly hybridize in Matthew's body.

  From the very beginning, Matthew's goal was to reconcile the two, at least remove the infinitely superimposed watermarks first.

   However, both concepts are too big.

  Matthew wants to complete the fusion of the heart of nature and the way of immortality, at least after the legend.

in this world.

  All concepts are artificially endowed, and many concepts have been changed and distorted since then.

   Behind this is the alternation and change of power.

   As far as Matthew knows.

   Some high-level legends and gods have direct "editing domain" power.

   This means as long as you are strong enough.

  You can force the whole world to accept your point of view.

  伱 can point to the sun and call it the moon, and can easily call a stag a horse and a ghost a human.

  The field is no different from the Internet encyclopedia in front of the real strong.

  It's nothing more than an object to be ravaged and written at will.

certainly.

  The premise of all this can be logically self-consistent.

   If it is too blunt, it is very likely to encounter resistance from the general consciousness of the plane.

   And for Matthew.

  He had conceptually prepared for that step early on, what he lacked was strength.

   Fortunately, the communication in the ritual field is not a change to the field of the whole world.

  The influence of the domain agreement is only in Matthew's own one-third of an acre of land.

   So he can play as much as he can.

  So in the first paragraph of the contract, he boldly gave new definitions to some fields according to his own thinking.

  He interpreted "immortality" as a field beyond death, and assigned fields such as "eternity" to this field to strengthen its momentum;

   This is his supreme pursuit under ideal circumstances.

   is the ultimate person beyond the existence of death—

   All living beings wither but I don't die, that's probably the case.

  Afterwards, Matthew raised the concept of "nature" infinitely, to the point where it can contain all things, and even included a part of "death", and the field of "life" was directly swallowed up;

  Nature is the most unique concept.

   The chaos of heaven and earth in the dark age is natural, the animism in the enlightenment period is also natural, and the pastoral songs in the exile era are natural.

  If one day Aindo enters the era of industrialization, why can't the roar of machinery and towering tall buildings be called natural?

   And in the follow-up instructions.

  Matthew also introduced concepts such as "microorganisms", "spores", "fungi", and "decomposers".

   Microbes, as decomposers, parasites, and transformers, are an indispensable part of the framework of nature and death.

  The living die and turn into corpses. The corpses are decomposed by microorganisms, and the elements that become life return to the earth.

   This is part of the union of life and death.

  The living die and turn into corpses, and the corpses are awakened to become undead, and the undead will die one day, and it will also be processed by the decomposer and return to nature.

   This means that the undead are not the opposite of nature.

   But the continuation of nature!

   This is one of the core purposes of the spore association, and it also conforms to Matthew's cognition of the spore field.

   In this way.

  Life and death blend and transform into each other.

  The "undead" belonging to the realm of death is the continuation of the "life" belonging to the realm of nature.

   Matthew's big frame is partly completed.

  The second paragraph of the contract.

  He applied this theory to "oak tree", "spore" and "undead".

  With theoretical guidance.

   It is also a matter of course to apply formula interpretation to specific cases.

   Not for a while.

  That boulder was covered with dense words.

  After writing the second paragraph, Matthew could feel that the collision of elements between the two ritual fields became more intense.

   This is a good sign.

   The worst outcome is to be completely ignored.

   Have a reaction, whether positive or negative.

   They all explained that the domain contract they wrote was stimulating to them.

   All that remains is to increase the intensity of the stimulus.

   Matthew took a short break.

   Then he finished writing the third chapter of the magic contract on the stone.

   is accompanied by this process.

  Matthew could feel that the domain in his body was gradually becoming restless.

  He held his breath, kept himself focused, and wrote the final notes in one go.

   After a few seconds.

  He checks the full text.

   Then inject a little mana into that boulder.

  The magic words on the boulder flickered like fluorescent lights, and at a certain moment, they seemed to be flying from the surface of the stone.

that moment.

  A golden golden tree appeared again in the cemetery!

  The magnificent moon is also hung on the World Tree!

   But this vision only lasted for less than half a second.

boom!

   After a light sound.

  The boulder collapsed towards the inside, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered into a pile of stones!

"Um?"

   "Not recognized by the natural field?"

  The sudden change caught Matthew a little off guard.

  He was slightly taken aback.

   But he immediately realized:

   "No, the will of nature is approved, as are the undead domain and the spore domain."

  He concentrated on comprehending for a while.

Shortly after.

   There is finally a response on the data bar.

  …

  「Reminder: The stone you have chosen cannot bear the content of the "Deed of the Domain"!

   Domain Deed: You have completed the initial communication between domains.

  There is a slight overlap between your domains "oak, spore, undead"..."

  …

   It turned out to be a material problem.

   Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

  The stone he chose was already very strong, but it still couldn't withstand the level required by the domain contract. It seems that a more advanced carrier must be found.

   "The stone of purgatory, the bamboo heart of the celestial bamboo, and the base of the legendary scroll tanned from real dragon hide..."

  The prices of several advanced materials flashed through Matthew's mind.

  He couldn't help feeling a little pain in his heart.

   But at this moment.

  The changes in the body attracted more attention.

  Matthew suddenly "seeed" his internal organs very clearly, saw the blood flowing in the blood vessels, and saw the heart pumping out a large amount of blood forcefully.

  He saw the negative energy and life energy evenly stored in the organs, and these energies blended with his mana, regardless of each other.

  He saw mental power concentrated in the back of the brain.

  He saw eleven **** of light constantly revolving around his body in the dark.

  These photospheres vary in size and color.

  Only when his "eyes" are focused on the top of the light sphere can he clearly see the floating light spots inside, they are—

   Oak, Undead, Temperance, Dragon Slayer, Plague, Transformation, Tauren, Grave, Necrotic, Spore.

   and "Balance"!

  Before he knew it, Matthew had already entered eleven fields.

   This number has far exceeded the basic needs of advanced legends.

  Legendary requirements for domains can be roughly divided into three levels:

The first tier, single or double domain legend, this kind of situation usually requires you to become a veteran in the domain, and accumulate enough in the legendary way, plus the upper ecological niche of the domain is not occupied by others, you can be promoted to legend .

   But this kind of legend is usually considered a kind of water legend.

  A single field means that it is not comprehensive enough and lacks change. It is easy to be caught and killed by people.

   Of the legends killed by people recorded in the history of the alliance, more than 70% are water legends in single or double domains.

  The second gear is the legend of the three realms.

  The third gear, the legend of the six realms.

   It is said that the reinforcement coefficient of the second gear when promoted to a legend is more than five times that of the first gear.

   And the third gear is relatively rare, so there is not much news out.

   Matthew only knows that the minimum requirement for the four guardians of the alliance is "Legend of the Three Realms", while the requirement for the Three Masters of Heaven is "Legend of the Six Realms".

  This means that Suriel and Isabel are both third-tier ruthless people.

   Among them, Isabel was revealed by Ekmond to be a master in all fields.

  Matthew estimates that she has at least eight Legendary Domains.

   It can be said that Matthew has accumulated enough capital in terms of the number of fields.

   But on the one hand, he knows that his path is different from others. Although he also uses the field as a tool, Matthew's balanced way requires much more tools than others.

   Correspondingly, he is far inferior to others in terms of field depth.

   Therefore, he must further explore the potential of the existing field while expanding the boundaries of the field.

   On the other hand, the more fields there are, the stronger the power after being promoted to Legendary, and the greater the resistance encountered when promoted.

   This is almost a general knowledge of a mage.

  The only way to better face these resistances is to accumulate.

   Accumulation and steady development are always the first criterion for the advancement of a mage.

   That strange perspective lasted about a minute and a half.

  Matthew finally saw that the three domains of oak trees, undead and spores were glued together. From a plane perspective, they were like three loops.

  The other circles are still relatively scattered and wandering aside.

   Only the most recently appeared equilibrium circles are very active.

  It actively touches all fields, although in most cases it will be quickly bounced off, but this does not change its active nature.

  When Matthew's strange perspective ends.

  See the balance ball bumping back and forth between fields like a bouncy ball.

A bit like-

  A courtesan who keeps getting rejected everywhere?

  …

  「Reminder: You have completed the communication with "Oak, Undead, and Spores" using the "Deed of the Domain", and you have gained the opportunity to enter the "Balanced Domain"!.

   In return for stepping into the field, you get the characteristic "Inner Vision" of the Balanced field.

  Inner Vision: You can observe changes in energy, fields, and elements in your body from the perspective of God. (Available once a day)

  In addition, you will gain one of the following three abilities—

  1. Veteran of flowers (you can always evenly and delicately grasp the time, energy and care given to each opposite sex, and you can greatly reduce their antipathy when they know each other)

  2. Recipe Warlock (you will get the detailed formula of several prescriptions, your herbal medicine knowledge +20, your potion knowledge +20, and get the ability "Elementary Alchemy")

  3. Go hand in hand (every time you enter a field, the integration speed of elements in other fields +3% / field stability +3%)”

  …

   "Although the contract of the field has not been fully effective, it has finally entered the balanced field, and it can be regarded as a harvest."

  Matthew looked back and forth between the abilities in the three fields with emotion.

   hesitated a little.

  He chose "3".

  In fact, Matthew has considered "Prescription Warlock". This ability seems very practical and gives a lot of knowledge;

  However, "going hand in hand" is very suitable for the current Matthew.

  He has many fields and little time, so it is impossible to cover everything.

  If you want to tap the potential of the domain as much as possible, you have to rely on the automatic integration of domain elements.

  This ability can alleviate the contradiction between quantity and quality, there is really no reason not to take it.

  As for "Veteran of Flowers".

  Matthew thinks it’s better to leave it to those in need!

besides.

   The balanced field also gave Matthew a permanent status.

  「Gymnast: Your balance ability +10 (climbing, jumping, running, swimming, gymnastics, horse riding and other sports checks +3)」

  Nice ability.

  At least in the future when riding Pegasus and Nightmare, Matthew can better protect himself.

   "Speaking of which, I still have to buy two good saddles. Pegasus is already a very good mount, but it's still a bit uncomfortable."

   "When some of the funds from the Oak Chamber of Commerce are returned, I will go to Old Faron to ask for two sets of saddlery, and settle the accounts of A Bing and Renee Smey by the way."

  Matthew stretched his waist and left the mushroom garden.

  Although the contract in the field was not completely successful, the two major ceremonies no longer had the tense atmosphere before.

  This point can be clearly perceived from Matthew standing at the entrance of the cemetery at the junction of the ceremony field.

  He walked slowly down the stone ladder dug out at the entrance.

   Compared with before.

   With the blessing of "Master Gymnast".

  He walked obviously more steadily.

  But this temporary stone staircase is still a bit too steep.

   "It would be great if we could build an elevator here, just like the Crucible House, from the cemetery to the crown of the World Tree."

   Matthew shook his head while thinking.

  He had previously asked about the price of the Taling 177 Magic Elevator.

   That was a number he couldn't bear.

   "After all, there is still a lack of money."

   Matthew suddenly began to wonder when the next group of alliance mages will come!

   At this time.

  He suddenly noticed Shinwak sleeping soundly beside the stone staircase.

  Since the work of opening the cemetery was completed.

   The troll has nothing else to do except planing the tombstone for Matthew.

  Now he is living a better life than anywhere else.

  Sleep a lot every day.

  If you are hungry, there are vegetarians to eat.

  This makes Matthew a little worried about his health:

   "Should I arrange some proper exercise for him?"

for example.

  Human elevator?

   This idea just popped up in Matthew's mind.

  A human suddenly shouted in the dungeon outside the cemetery:

   "Hey, Matthew, it's time to wait for you. I lost the stone you gave me. Er, can you let me in?"

   "I dare not trespass without authorization, for fear that those zombies will bite me."

  Matthew glanced at him, and immediately opened the cemetery.

  The person who came was wearing a mine suit, with a white crystal spotlight on his forehead, and his face was very fair.

  He is the official sent by Rhaegar to preside over the development of the sulfur mine, and he has met Matthew several times before.

His name is Patton. He is the second son of Ms. Liz and the younger brother of the captain of the garrison, Brad. to date.

  Recently, his health has improved significantly, and it just so happens that the mining of sulfur mines needs trustworthy manpower.

  So Rhaegar asked him to come over and help Matthew take care of this matter.

  Regarding the development of sulfur mine, it has reached the implementation stage of the project.

   On a specific level, in addition to sending Patton over to preside over the overall situation, Rolling Stone Town officials also recruited more than a dozen workers in the name of the city hall.

   Matthew sent more than forty zombies to guard and patrol.

   Zombies are very good at doing this kind of work, but don't expect it at all when it comes to sorting, transporting or even refining ore.

  The current process is that eight workers assigned to the mine sort open-pit sulfur ore into a vehicle.

   Then Patton escorted these cars, through the underground passage, directly to a factory left before in the Gold Digger Basin.

  The remaining workers are also arranged here to complete the initial extraction of sulfur ore and further refining.

  The extraction of sulfur ore is not complicated. In addition, the sulfur ore discovered by Matthew is extremely pure, and only simple extraction is required, so there are not many difficulties in the equipment and process.

  The sulfur produced will eventually have three delivery directions.

   The first one is Matthew's cemetery. Sulfur is a necessary material for the production of Blazing Glue and Molotov cocktails.

  However, the enthusiasm of the arsonists to make related props is not high, and the demand for brimstone is also small, so there is still a lot of redundancy.

  The remaining two delivery directions are Rhaegar's Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce and Matthew's Oak Tree Chamber of Commerce.

  The former is responsible for the sales in the north.

  The latter is responsible for selling the sulfur to the south.

In general.

  Rega is still very righteous.

  He came out again and again in this process, but for the final income of the sulfur mine after deducting operating costs and labor costs.

  He still only has 10%.

   This number is very low.

  Normally speaking, all the wealth in the territory belongs to the lord himself. Even if other people discover any minerals and jointly develop them with the lord, the lord naturally owns the mineral ownership.

  The current example in the south is Sanqifen.

  It is a very normal distribution plan for the lord to take 70% of the income.

   But Rhaegar was different.

   Not only is he generous to Matthew, he also treats everyone else equally.

  When the mining industry in the Gold Digger Basin was booming more than ten years ago, the condition that Rega gave the mine owners was to take 20%~30% of the income.

  Because of this, Rolling Stone Town was overheated during that time, and the original name of this land was forgotten, and it was replaced by the Gold Digger Basin, which has a more historical background.

   "How about the factory? Has the first batch of goods come out? Do I need to send more undead to maintain order?"

   Matthew met and asked.

   Little Patton waved his hand:

   "Everything is fine, the first batch of goods will be delivered in two days, and the purity is very good. The workers were very afraid of the undead at first, but under my deliberate arrangement, they now trust your zombies."

   "Deliberate arrangement?"

  Matthew looked at Little Parton suspiciously.

  The latter smiled:

   "I found two wild boars. I wanted to scare them, but before they got close, I was chased away by your undead."

   "In this way, the workers have a certain degree of trust in the undead."

  Matthew frowned slightly. Although Paton Jr.'s plan was effective, he felt that doing so might exacerbate the panic among the workers.

  So he reminded:

   "Next time you want to use this method, tell me in advance."

   Little Parton shrugged:

   "Okay, you are the boss, I will listen to you."

   "I came to you because of the mine—

  According to the reports of the workers who stayed in the mine, they had obviously finished picking up the sulfur mine in one place.

  Early the next morning, in the same place, there will be a similar amount or even more ore.

  Although this phenomenon is a good thing for us, the workers always feel weird.

  I tried my best to appease them, but there was a whining sound from the mine last night, like the friction sound of wind blowing through a hole.

  A worker came to me this morning and said he didn’t want to work anymore, mainly because he was a little scared.

  I think this matter still needs to be reported to you.

  After all, you found the mine, do you know how that happened? "

  Matthew groaned after hearing the words:

   "I probably know what's going on, how about this, I will go to the mine tonight to see if I can solve the problem from the root cause."

  …
