MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 20 Charisma

  …

  Lulu is a little too shy fairy.

  The other goblins living in this oak forest have more or less greeted Matthew.

  Only this princess is always secretive, even if she appears in front of Matthew, she will hide among the goblins so that he can't see clearly.

   It would be a lie if he said that he didn't have the slightest curiosity about Lulu.

  But Matthew has always respected these little creatures who get along with him happily.

   After calling the Fairy Princess.

  Matthew closed his eyes on his own initiative.

  The breeze blows across the face.

   For a moment.

  Matthew faintly felt that a goblin had landed on his nose, and was walking around boldly on it.

   This feeling disappeared quickly, and Matthew thought it was his own illusion. He didn't think it was the fairy princess playing tricks on him, after all, the other party was too shy.

"I am coming…"

  A thin and feeble voice came from afar.

  Matthew could feel that she was staying on a tree five steps away from him.

   "Good evening, I need your help. I have an admission ticket for the Moonlight Society here. Only with the help of a natural soul can you enter the corresponding demiplane."

  Matthew raised the props in his hand.

   "It's not a hard job."

  Lulu's voice got closer:

   "Why are you closing your eyes, Matthew?"

  Matthew smiled lightly and said:

   "If you are willing to let me open it, of course I will not refuse."

   "I...I believe in Matthew!"

  Lulu's voice hesitated at first.

  But soon, she mustered up her courage and said, "You can open your eyes now."

  Matthew opened his eyelids naturally—

   At first it was a hazy halo under the moonlight.

   Then he saw a pair of golden wings.

  The last thing is the body that is slightly larger than ordinary fairies, but still infinitely miniature, and the delicate and unbelievably delicate face.

   That moment.

  Matthew only felt buzzing in his head.

   Eyes widened subconsciously.

   Whoosh!

   Lulu nervously flew back twenty feet.

   Then he hesitated and moved a little towards Matthew.

   "Hoo..."

  Matthew let out a long breath, waking up from the momentary gaffe just now.

   "Sorry, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."

  He laughed at himself: "Did I look straight just now?"

   Lulu patted her white and greasy chest with her small hands:

   "Your performance is already great, but that look in your eyes just now really surprised me."

  Matthew nodded.

  He finally understood why Lulu didn't appear in front of others easily.

   Probably not because of shyness.

   But because of this beauty that cannot match her strength!

   "What's your charm?"

   Matthew asked.

   "20 points? More? I don't know!"

   Lulu counted with her fingers.

  20 points, means 'charismatic'.

   This is the limit of beauty that mortal creatures can achieve!

   Plus the unique deterrence bonus of fine creatures.

   Almost most creatures see Lulu and can't help but want to get close to her, grab her and even play with her!

  Even Matthew, staring at those little wings for a long time, can't help but have evil thoughts in his heart.

  …

  「You resisted the charm from the fairy princess (passive), your will +1」

  …

   "So can we begin?"

   Matthew tried to look away and asked.

"certainly."

  Lulu walked around Matthew with some excitement: "This is the first time I have such close contact with a creature other than my tribe. This feeling is so exciting!"

   "Ah, you mean the Moonlight Society, it's no problem, come with me, Matthew."

   As she spoke, her shadow danced in the moonlight.

   Matthew leisurely followed.

   Not for a while.

  The ticket in his hand disappeared suddenly.

  The chanting of the spirit of nature awakens the young oak forest.

  Matthew seemed to feel friendly eyes staring at him.

  Lulu stopped on the trunk of a tall oak tree.

  Matthew took a closer look.

   But there is a light green secret door on the tree wall.

  He pushed the door and entered.

  The bold greenness rushes towards us.

  …

  「Reminder: You have entered the kingdom of Moonlight Goddess Asia—the half-plane 'Moon Obscure Forest'.

  This is the home of the souls of nature and fine creatures. They hate evil, reject outsiders, and are willing to be friendly with druids;

  This is also the shelter of the Moonlight Blessed. Every traveler who walks under the moonlight can pray to Asia, and if they get a response, they can temporarily live here to avoid the monsters hiding in the long night.”

  …

  The air is good.

  This is Matthew's first impression of the Moon Glade.

  He looked around.

  Find yourself in a clearing that resembles a real-world oak forest.

   Not far away is an altar to the goddess of moonlight.

  There is a proud owl perched on the stele of the altar.

  The other party looked at him not very friendly.

  Matthew felt a little strange.

  Follow the instructions on the admission ticket.

  Even if you are a necromancer, there will be many spirits of nature and fey creatures nearby!

  I should be recognized by the local people through various performances. Only in this way can I become a member of the Moonlight Society and get some extra blessings and convenient spellcasting.

   "Have things changed?"

  Matthew tried to ask about the situation.

   However, he did not wait for him to approach the altar.

  An impolite voice came over:

"Evil Necromancer, if I were you, I would turn my head and leave without hesitation. People should at least have a sense of shame—I don't know what method you used to get the admission ticket, and how to coerce a kind-hearted The soul of nature held a ceremony for you, but if you think that you can become a Moonlight Blessed, you are wrong!"

   is the owl.

  Her voice is like a little girl in the process of changing her voice.

   Matthew explained:

   "I am indeed a necromancer, but I am not a bad person."

   The owl flapped its wings, and the voice became sharper:

   "Bad guys never say they are bad guys! Get out of here, Necromancer! I hate you!"

  Matthew frowned.

  He expected that the old-fashioned and conservative soul of nature would have a bad attitude towards him because of the stereotype of his profession.

  But I didn't expect that there would be no chance to explain.

   "Miss Owl."

  He held his breath and patiently tried to persuade the other party: "I ask myself that I am acting with integrity. Wouldn't it be unfair to reject me just because of my career?"

   The owl flew up with a plop:

   "Don't call me Miss Owl! I have a name! My name is Ella!"

   "Ella won't trust a necromancer! Please leave immediately!"

   said.

  She also flew over Matthew's head, looking like she was about to pounce.

"All right."

  Matthew spread his hands helplessly.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared. The natives of the Misty Moon Forest are different from the new souls of nature like Lulu. Although they still look like small animals, they may have lived here for hundreds or thousands of years. The passage of time has made their thinking tend to be stubborn, and it is an euphemism to describe it as 'lack of flexibility'.

   It's no big deal not being able to join the Moonlight Society, it's just a spell genre.

  Matthew raised his foot and was about to leave.

  But at this moment, a thin white light suddenly lit up on the altar.

   "Hey, what are you looking at!" Owl Ella yelled, "This is the grace of the Moonlight Goddess, not something a necromancer like you is qualified to covet!"

   Matthew shrugged.

   He was upset to see the owl, but he didn't bother to argue with her.

  So he turned and left.

   "Go, go, take another look. If you offend the goddess of moonlight, I'm afraid she will punish you with thunder and punishment!"

   Ella said proudly.

  Ma Xiu ignored her and stepped into the secret door. However, at that moment, he heard thunder from behind—

  Boom!

   Matthew was taken aback, the goddess of moonlight would not be indiscriminate, right?

  He turned his head subconsciously, but vaguely saw a bolt of lightning flying out of the altar, slamming on the owl Ella!

   Next second.

  He appeared in the oak forest safe and sound.

  Lulu has disappeared.

  …

   "The lightning of the goddess of moonlight, is it crooked?"

   "Forget it, let's just treat it as a small episode..."

  Matthew adjusted his mood.

  Go back to the hut and start tonight's homework.

  Outside the wooden house, Ah Bing put on a night cloak and silently performed the patrolling task.

  The woods are quiet and peaceful.

   Nothing to say all night.

  Dawn.

  Matthew yawned and pushed open the wooden door.

  But he was surprised to find a strange bird with black wings and cramped hands and feet parked on the oak tree 30 meters away from the door of the wooden house!

   "Good morning, Mr. Matthew."

   The strange bird greeted him awkwardly.

  Matthew looked at her hesitantly.

  If the voice hadn't changed, he wouldn't have been able to connect the scorched strange bird in front of him with the proud owl from last night!

   "Ella?"

  He looked at each other with great interest.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Matthew, I just wanted to make a joke with you last night, but I didn't expect the joke to go too far—to show my sincerity, I will personally invite you to enter the Moon Misty Forest tonight. If there is no accident, you I will join the Moonlight Society very smoothly and become a member of our harmonious and loving family."

  Matthew laughed. He ignored Ella and went in to find the sapling bag and a set of tools.

   Then walk towards the pit selected two days ago.

   "Mr. Matthew, Mr. Matthew..."

   Ella hurriedly followed.

   "I'm busy, Miss Owl."

  Maxiu waved the shovel and said, "I didn't think you were joking yesterday, and I didn't feel the sincerity of apologizing today, so it's better to be exempted from joining the Moonlight Society!"

   blah blah blah!

  He started digging.

  The splashing mud made Ella fly away screaming.

  But not long after, she flew back eagerly:

  …

   "I apologize to you, Mr. Matthew, I know I was wrong. It was my ignorance that framed my vision. I thought that necromancers were all bad guys, but this is obviously not the case."

   "Ugh, are you planting trees? Wow, what a feat! You're the kindest necromancer I've ever seen!"

"Mr. Matthew, it was all my fault last night. I saw you as a necromancer who mastered the natural domain, and I subconsciously felt disgusted; but I figured it out later, I can see you as a necromancer A Druid who has mastered the realm of the undead—wouldn’t it be more pleasing to the eye? I can feel the affinity in you, how refreshing it is!”

   "Wow, Mr. Matthew, are you so handsome even when you wipe your sweat?"

  …

   Ella twitters trying to please Matthew.

   Matthew didn't speak.

  He just went about his work.

  Dried from morning till dusk.

  In the evening.

  Matthew returned to the cabin.

  A strange fluctuation came to my heart.

  …

  「Your ability 'Gift of Nature' is taking effect...

  You have gained new abilities 'Heat Resistance', 'Toughness' and 'Scud'

  …

  Heat resistance: You become very insensitive to high temperature, and have a strong ability to resist fire and high temperature.

  …

  Toughness: You have a more tenacious physique than ordinary people (Physique +1 & Toughness +1)

  …

  Scud: You have a very strong sprinting ability, especially in the urban alleys, you can explode at twice the usual speed"

  …
