MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 181 Mage Killer and World Events

  …

  After reading the letter, Matthew couldn't help but smile.

   Lumière is really a genius—

   It even occurred to a necromancer to collect a large number of homeless corpses.

   In a sense, it is also a way to solve the problem.

   It's just hard to say whether it can be buried in the ground.

  He recalled a bit.

  Apple Avenue is an affluent road between the east coast and inland territories such as the Red Mountains.

  The terrain in that area is mostly hilly, and it is famous for the many apple trees growing on both sides of the avenue.

  Apple Avenue is north of Deep Blue Harbor and south of Lion City, and a certain section is indeed a buffer between the two sides.

  At present, the east coast is full of swords and soldiers, so it is not surprising that a large number of corpses will temporarily pile up.

  But if there is no one to deal with it for a long time, there will be a problem.

   "You can find a daytime and ride a Pegasus to have a look."

  With so many corpses, Matthew would be lying if he said he was not moved, but if some of the soldiers’ corpses were claimed by their families, he would be ashamed to take them away by force.

   He's a dainty necromancer, after all.

   Folded the letter, Matthew didn't rush to write a reply, because Lumiere didn't mention this in this letter.

  On the contrary, he claimed that he would continue to go north, and even if Matthew wanted to write a reply, he didn't know where to send it.

   Let's wait for the future king of the rainforest to settle down again.

   Presently he pulls out a sketched map—

  He copied this map from Rhaegar, the proportions are horrible, so he can only get a rough idea.

   After roughly determining the location of Apple Avenue.

  Matthew began to think about when to leave.

   Two hours later.

  He saw the energetic little Patton in the closed sulfur mine.

  He looks in good condition, even changed into a decent leather uniform, taller and more powerful than ordinary Minotaurs.

"How about it?"

   Matthew was concerned about his experience in Bigfoot that day.

   Little Patton said confidently:

   "I have successfully joined Stu Luke Industry and served as the workshop director of the third workshop of the explosives factory."

  Matthew was a little surprised:

   "You found that demon man named Simmons?"

   Little Patton shook his head:

   "That Simmons looked like a shrewd ghost. I didn't want to deal with him in this state, so I found another way to join Sturuk Industries."

  Matthew looked at him with great interest, handed him a glass of milk, and motioned him to continue.

   Little Parton drank the milk in one gulp, and said while frothing the milk:

"After I returned to Bigfoot, I first went to find a few minotaur homeless men on the side of the road. Didn't the minotaur ranger named Conley tell us that these homeless men were once employees of Sturuk Industries? I just asked them to find out."

   Matthew asked:

   "As soon as you asked in the past, they responded very cooperatively?"

   Little Patton waved his hand:

"Of course not. Those people are hopeless guys. They have been ruined by Stulluk Industry, but they dare not even complain publicly. If there is no benefit, how dare they tell the situation in the factory? "

   "However, this kind of person is easy to deal with. I promised to help them get sulfur after I went in. Their eyes lit up when they heard it, and they immediately said everything."

   "After asking one night, I even knew how many meat toilets there are in the house of the director of a certain branch factory."

   "So the next morning, I went to the factory with the most complete information in my hand. That factory has a good position in the Sturuk industry and is responsible for the initial production and processing of explosives."

   "When I went to report in the morning, a female demon saw that I was strong, so she asked me to work in the workshop she managed. I naturally wished for it."

"Just this morning, the original workshop director was late because he slept late. The female demon was furious and dismissed his position and let me take care of him temporarily. So I became the workshop director on the first day of work. Six assembly lines for the production of explosives."

"I spent the whole morning observing and studying the content of the assembly line. I found that the factory of Stuluke Industry was not as perfect as I imagined. There is a lot of room for improvement in their product line. I secretly put these points It's all in my heart."

   "In the afternoon, the female demon asked me to go to her room to talk.

   In her room, I took the opportunity to present my ideas for improving the product line.

   And when I left her room.

   has become the official workshop director. "

  Matthew was taken aback when he heard that:

   "Do you have a unique talent in workshop management?"

   "That's not true."

   Little Patton spread his hands helplessly:

   “She scoffed at my ideas for improvement.”

   "But repeatedly praised my massage technique and hinted that I would often visit her office in the future."

"Ahem, these details are not important. The important thing is that it took me only one day to gain a firm foothold in Stulluk Industry. I was safe before that female demon ate me up. So you don't have to worry about my safety."

   Matthew didn't squeak.

  He changed the subject:

   "Then did you find any major discoveries in the factory of Sturuk Industry?"

"have!"

   Little Patton said in a deep voice:

   "I found out that they are not only using sulfur ore to make a lot of explosives, but they are also making a kind of artillery called Mage Killer!"

  Mage killer?

  The name is quite bluffing.

  Matthew hurriedly asked:

   "What does that artillery look like? What's its function?"

   Little Patton took out a brand new silver silk sac from his waist and handed it to Matthew:

   "I stole a door and you can take a look."

  Matthew said in surprise:

   "Can you actually steal their product?"

   "Also, where did you get the storage items?"

   Little Patton let out an "oh" and explained:

   "I sneaked into their warehouse after get off work, and Stu Luke Industries is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

  The warehouse is unattended.

  I see that several similar storage props are thrown in the corner and no one wants them.

   just took one casually.

  Cannon too.

   There is a whole half of the warehouse, the number is too large for me to count, and no one will know if I steal a door.

   I also touched some gunpowder and more sulfur ore.

  Don't say it yet.

   This storage item is quite big, even bigger than the storage ring Rhaegar often brags about! "

  Matthew took the silk sac and took a look.

   This thing is really big.

   There are four grids inside.

   A cannon is stuffed in one of the grids, and there is a surplus beside it.

  The other three grids are filled with explosive barrels and sulfur bags.

  He weighed the silk sac, and the value of this thing alone was more than two thousand gold coins.

   Little Patton really has a bit of ability to exploit.

   "It is not suitable to use artillery here, let's go to the surface to see."

   While speaking, Matthew took Patton Jr. out of the ground and came to the north of the oak forest and near the scar of the dead in the northeast of the protective umbrella.

  He took out the cannon and placed it on the top of the hill, facing the direction of the Scar of the Dead.

  Data bar.

  …

  「You got the mage "Killer Seventeen (Screaming Cannon.

  Screaming Cannon: After using this cannon, it can make mages in a certain area lose the ability to cast spells. "

  …

   "Manufacturing the forbidden area? So powerful?"

  Matthew signaled little Patton to fire.

  The latter spent a day in the workshop of Stulluk Industry, and he has already mastered the relevant knowledge by heart.

  At that moment, he slightly adjusted the barrel, threw a ball of burning dry grass into it, and then slammed down the wrench next to it.

  Boom!

   A loud noise louder than thunder rang in the ears of the two of them.

  A flash of fire rushed out of the barrel.

   But no damage was seen to any buildings ahead.

   When it is.

  Matthew couldn't help covering his ears with his hands, and he walked a few steps in place in a trance.

   It took me a long time to recover.

  …

  「Warning: You suffered scream damage and your hearing was temporarily reduced to 10%!

  Your concentration will be temporarily deducted by 80%.

  Duration: 15 minutes. "

  …

"Grass!"

   "What artillery, it's just a noise maker!"

   Matthew now finally understands how it works.

   If you dare to love the Antu Empire, you should use noise to greet the Lord Faye, right?

   Have to admit.

   This is actually an idea for mages.

  Concentration is the lifeblood of a mage.

  Any behavior that can weaken concentration may cause huge damage to the mage.

   Especially in the case of information asymmetry, a large number of screaming cannons are very likely to have a final effect when attacking places where mages gather.

"But in theory, such intense sound waves can also cause great damage to undead creatures. Behind Stulluk Industries is a space necromancer army. If they dare to use this method to deal with mages, they must have self-protection means. "

  Matthew pondered for a while.

  If you know the function of this thing, it is not difficult to prevent it. It will be much better to plug your ears with cotton.

   Not to mention the sound insulation spell.

   "It seems that the learning schedule of the sound insulation spell has to be moved forward."

  Matthew and Little Parton stared at each other.

  Both of them returned to the oak forest while pulling their ears.

   Along the way.

   Little Patton also took out a light bulb from his crotch to give Matthew a stroke.

  Matthew originally wanted to use a thunderbolt sword to see if the current stimulation could light up the light bulb, but his concentration was too low to use it at all, so he had to give up temporarily.

   The two didn't go far.

  A few figures approached from the side of the oak forest.

  Matthew took a closer look.

   It turned out that Zeller sent Sif over.

   "Starting tonight, Sif will leave it to you."

   "I hope to keep him safe."

   Zeller seriously pushed the blushing Sif to Matthew's side.

   Little Patton was stunned and pulled out his ears:

   "Wait, are you just living with my cousin?"

   "I haven't prepared your wedding gift yet!"

  Matthew couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, so he just nodded:

   "Okay, okay, I understand."

   Now Sif blushed even more.

   Zeller also looked at Matthew a little strangely, surprised by his straightforwardness.

   But his attention is more focused on little Patton.

  In the eyes of the latter.

   Zeller said sternly:

   "Come with me, don't trouble Matthew anymore."

  However, little Patton pulled his ears vigorously:

"What?"

"what are you saying?"

   "Louder I can't hear you!"

  So Zeller repeated what he just said.

   But Little Parton still couldn't hear.

  He looked at Zeller suspiciously.

  The latter mistakenly thought that this guy was pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he picked up Little Parton without saying a word, and prepared to charge towards Rolling Stone Town.

   Before leaving, he said to Matthew:

   "Looks like our tax collector needs to clear his head."

   "I'll leave it to you here, remember to plug the crack in time and space as soon as possible."

  Matthew still didn't understand much, but he saw Zeller's mouth shape clearly in the second half of the sentence, so he nodded.

   Little Parton was pushed away in a daze.

  Sif lowered her head and was led by Matthew to walk into the darkness.

   "You will live in my cemetery for the next two days. The environment there is definitely not as good as the Lord's Mansion. I can only wrong you."

  When passing an oak tree.

  An oak goblin flew out and cast a nature spell on Matthew, allowing him to restore his hearing.

  He was finally released from that hazy state, and he was able to communicate with people normally.

  Sif bowed his head and said:

   "It's okay, it's an extraordinary time, Uncle Zeller has told me."

  Matthew nodded slightly.

   This Uncle Zeller made him feel a little awkward.

  But if you think about it carefully, it is true.

  Zeller and Rega are both old men in their forties, and they are indeed a little bit lucky with their generation.

   Little Parton and Sif were clearly half a generation younger than him.

   "It seems that we still have to talk about each other."

   Matthew secretly thought.

   Otherwise, wouldn’t Sif want to call herself Uncle Matthew?

etc.

   Thinking about it, why is it a little exciting?

  He shook his head vigorously, quite sure that it was a symptom of lack of concentration, not what he really thought in his heart.

  So he said:

   "By the way, where is that little devil named Nini?"

  Sif said softly:

   "I sealed her up, I don't like Nini, she is a bad woman."

   "Matthew, do you like bad women?"

like.

  But Matthew didn't have the nerve to say it.

  He just coughed, trying to change the subject.

   But at this moment.

The two of them had already followed the stone ladder to the cemetery. Not far away was Matthew's workshop. He now vacated the next bedroom for Sif, while he let the troll Xinwak work overtime overnight. A new stone house was built next to it.

   "I'm going to find Peggy in the kitchen!"

  The cold environment in the cemetery obviously made Sif uncomfortable.

  She tried to find people she knew well.

  However, just arrived at the kitchen door.

  She saw that besides Peggy, there was another young and beautiful girl here.

  Sif silently watched Qiuka.

  Qiuka also looked at Sif curiously.

  The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became weird.

   Matthew regretted it as soon as he came over.

  But seeing Sif smiled and asked:

   "Who is this lady? Can you introduce me, Matthew."

  Matthew is still figuring out how to introduce the complicated history of Qiuka.

  Peggy came in from another door.

  She looked at Sif in surprise, and went to hug her princess and turned around three times:

   "Oh, my baby, I heard from Matthew that you have a fever, but why do I think you don't have a fever at all?!"

   "It's really great that you can recover your health. I haven't studied the cookbook last time. I just have a few questions for you."

   "Come, come, let me introduce you, Qiuka is our family's mascot, who is responsible for catching mice and lice."

   As she spoke, Peggy hugged Sif firmly with one hand, and put the other hand on Qiuka's shoulder:

   "Come on Qiuka, make a change and let my precious Sif see the world."

  Although the expression looked a little reluctant.

  But Qiuka turned into a little white cat and jumped on the ground.

  The tension on Sif's face disappeared immediately.

quickly.

   There was laughter one after another in the kitchen.

   Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

   Withdrew silently.

   "This kind of thing has to be Peggy, she seems to really please women."

   But watching the scene of the three laughing and laughing.

  Matthew suddenly felt a little lost.

  He couldn't help but glance at the data bar.

fine.

   It’s okay if there are no strange elements added to the tauren domain!

  …

  After settling Sif.

  Matthew inspected a circle of underground.

  Things are flourishing in the cemetery.

  The arrival of the black warrior Argus has greatly increased the activity here.

   This is a guy who can't sit still.

   And also has a sense of ownership.

  As early as the first day when Matthew ordered the formation of the cemetery army, Argus was running non-stop in every corner of the cemetery, looking for suitable soldiers.

  He was in no hurry.

   But after an in-depth understanding of the quality and background of each cemetery member.

   before gradually drawing up a complete list.

   I just met Matthew today, and Argus brought everyone on the list.

  Matthew made a brief count.

   Found that Argus selected six black warriors, twelve zombies, twelve skeletons, and twenty-four ghosts—

   There are two more humans?

  Matthew pointed to the two bewildered arsonists and asked strangely:

   "They are human beings, can they also be incorporated into the army of the undead?"

  Argus explained:

   "I think their quality is very good, very suitable for transformation into undead."

  The faces of the two arsonists suddenly turned pale.

   They knelt on the ground in unison, trembling:

   "Master Matthew!"

   "We don't dare to be lazy at work anymore!"

   "Please don't kill us."

   Matthew hasn't spoken yet.

  Argus persuaded with a pleasant face:

   "Don't be afraid, becoming an undead is not as bad as you imagined. Look at me, isn't it normal?"

  The arsonists trembled even more.

  Matthew waved his hand to temporarily stop Argus's wild thoughts.

  He asked again:

   "Why are there so many ghosts?"

  Argus explained:

   "Ghosts are more mobile, and their average level is higher. I think they are very suitable for scouting duties."

   Matthew's heart moved:

   "Can you train different arms separately?"

  Argus said modestly:

"know a little."

  Matthew immediately waved his hand:

   "Okay, that's the list for the first patrol team. You can train whoever you want in the future!"

  Argus looked at the two arsonists on the ground and hesitated to speak:

   "My lord, then they..."

  Matthew said blankly:

   "Don't worry, look at the production of Blazing Glue next week before making a decision."

  The two arsonists were gratefully escorted back to the workshop.

   Later when Matthew passed by.

  I found that the work inside is in full swing.

  Looking at the enthusiasm of the arsonists, Matthew suspected that if he gave them a sewing machine, they would all be able to turn it into a hot wheel!

   "It's all good."

  Matthew smiled and left the window of the workshop.

  The other residents in the cemetery are quite at ease.

  Red Flame Nightmare went deeper into the dungeon twice in three days to fight the autumn wind. At first, Matthew was a little worried, but after a long time, he let him go.

   After all, this guy can step into the "ether plane", and his ability to escape is not low, so there is no need to worry too much.

   Between skeletons and zombies who did not conscript.

   Recently, a game of dice seems to be popular.

  No matter where Matthew goes, he can see skeletons or zombies in groups, throwing dice dug out of stones there.

   Needless to say.

   This crooked trend must have been brought out by Renee Smee.

  It's a pity that Matthew turned half a circle at this moment and didn't bump into Renee Smee.

   We can only talk to each other next time we meet.

   And the gratifying news is not without—

  First, Matthew found that A Bing's "training with the same family" finally had an effect.

  Two skeleton soldiers transformed into "Skeleton Assassins".

  But the two of them didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and they kept stealthy after getting the assassin template.

   This made Argus stunned that he didn't notice them when he was catching the strong men!

  Matthew also discovered this change when he came to check the skull heads on a whim.

  These two skeleton assassins have both been upgraded to LV10. They possess certain intelligence and can hear Matthew's simple instructions. Their strength is quite impressive.

   After thinking about it, Matthew sent them to Argus' patrol team.

  Let them take charge of the stalking tasks around the cemetery.

  Secondly, Matthew noticed that in some corners of the cemetery, a small amount of "negative energy crystal clusters" grew.

  This is a good magic material.

   Negative energy crystal clusters can be grinded and purified for a while, and you can get expensive "negative energy crystal salt".

   Blend crystal salt with underground spring water in a certain proportion.

   You can get a potion of "Ansula Suspension".

  Ansula suspension can be used to restore the life and state of the undead, and it can also nourish the soul fire in a small way. It is something that the undead dream of.

  There are not many negative energy crystal clusters in the cemetery.

  Matthew was not in a hurry to start collecting.

  He was afraid that collecting too early would affect the formation of more crystal clusters.

   "I remember that black locust has a great effect on promoting the growth of negative energy crystal clusters, so we still have to find a way to make more varieties."

  Looking at the number of sparse black locusts around the cemetery.

  Matthew thought secretly.

  Take a tour and come back.

  The lights in Sif's room next door have been turned off.

  Matthew bypassed the door and walked into the stone house next to him, planning to review the fighting skills he learned a while ago.

   But at this moment.

  His brain suddenly trembled slightly.

   Immediately after.

   A series of magnificent or detailed pictures flooded into his mind like movie clips!

  In an instant.

  The pores all over his body shrank involuntarily!

  …

  「Reminder: Your ability "World Events" is in effect!

  According to your occupational level, number of domains and perception ability, this "world event" has captured three pieces of news for you, namely "world-class", "national-level" and "personal-related".
