MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 7 The Eye of the Jungle and the Wind of the Oak

  …

  「Transformation in the wilderness: You have mastered the basic skills of shapeshifters, and you can transform into an animal blessed by the wilderness without casting spells or singing postures.

  You can choose one of the following animals as your wild form—

   skunk;

  raven;

  Dugron」

  …

   Isn't transformation into the wild a unique skill of druids?

  Matthew was quite pleasantly surprised.

   This is probably another moth created by those two competing game systems.

finally.

  Matthew chose "Raven" as his wild form.

   This is for the sake of making up for shortcomings.

  The three animals are all small beasts, and they don't occupy a high ecological niche in the food chain, so their combat abilities are all average.

  …

   Skunks are more agile.

  In some more complicated mountains or forests, transforming into a skunk may help escape, but other than that, it has no obvious advantages.

   Matthew will never turn into a skunk and squeeze musk for himself.

  …

  Duglon is a small dragon beast with a body similar to a hound.

   It's just that the dragon blood in this small animal is weaker than that of the kobolds.

   Longwei and spells are naturally out of the question.

  Du Gelong has a certain storage capacity, and there is a natural dimensional space in its belly.

  The size of the space is linked to Dugeron's level.

  Newborn Duglong cubs have one grid of dimension space, and there will be one more grid for each level up.

   Each dimensional space is about the size of a medium-sized pumpkin and can store a lot of things.

  If it is to choose an animal partner, Matthew will choose Duglong without hesitation.

   But this is wild transformation.

  Becoming a mobile storage space will make Matthew lose his sense of security.

  …

  Compare the above two animals.

  The advantages of Raven are self-evident—

   That is, it can fly!

   And it's fast!

   Matthew is worth the money simply for rushing or escaping, not to mention that Raven also has extremely good reconnaissance capabilities.

  The only shortcoming of this animal is thin blood.

   Raven's HP is only 1 point

   After being discovered by an enemy with anti-air capabilities, it is easy to be knocked out of the wilderness form at once.

   "There is no perfect option..."

   Matthew is quite satisfied with the new ability.

   In his impression.

  Many powerful mages turn into ravens.

   This is a good sign.

  He checked the taskbar.

   The rewards of "Wild Transformation" come from "Follow-up Mission 2: Maintenance is also very important!".

   In addition to new abilities.

   He also gained 200 XP.

   And the task itself has not changed.

   This means that it is a long-term, repeatable task like planting trees.

   "As long as there is a threat and the defense is successful, you can get rewards? Can you artificially attract threats... so that you can earn rewards repeatedly."

  This kind of thought is what Matthew thinks about.

   After all, he has no way to determine the judgment mode of the system.

  If you mess up, you will lose blood.

   And at the character level.

   Matthew actually doesn't like to fight, kill, or engage in any showy operations.

  He prefers to plant trees slowly and passively defend.

   It is enough to reap stable happiness.

  …

   "Twitter!"

   Oak fairies appear.

  They sang high-pitched praises around Matthew, praising his feat of fighting to drive out the arsonists.

   Goblins hate skeleton soldiers.

   But they like Matthew very much.

   This may be due to the extremely high natural affinity of Matthew.

  …

  「You have been blessed by the Fairy Princess Lulu!

  伱 gained a semi-permanent status: Eyes of the Jungle!

  You have obtained a semi-permanent status: the wind of the oak tree!

  …

  Eye of the Jungle: When you are in the jungle, your vision is greatly improved, and you can see things behind you.

  Oak Wind: When you approach an oak tree, it will release the power of nature to heal your wounds and soothe your soul, and your mana recovery speed will also be greatly accelerated.

  When the oak tree is inhabited by oak goblins, the effect of the oak wind is doubled.

  …”

  …

   Fairy princess?

  Matthew looked curiously into the pile of goblins.

   As a result, only a flickering shadow was seen—

  Lulu is very shy.

  Before, Matthew had only heard of her name from other elves, but had never seen her.

  Even tonight.

  Lulu took the initiative to show up and bless Matthew.

   But Matthew couldn't see her face clearly.

"Thanks."

  Matthew expressed his thanks to the place where the white light disappeared.

   "Eye of the Jungle" and "Wind of the Oak" are both very useful states.

   And the prefix 'semi-permanent' means as long as the fairy princess Lulu is alive.

  They will take effect.

   According to Matthew's inference.

  Lulu should have just been promoted to Fairy Princess.

   She is still very young.

   There is also a chance to promote a stronger and longer-lived Fairy Queen.

  As long as there is no accident in the oak forest.

   There is no difference between these two states and permanent.

  …

  Matthew calmed down the elves who were frightened before.

   After that, I went down the hillside.

   Farm Edge.

  The flame gradually died down.

  The skeleton soldiers dragged the bodies of the arsonist and his followers together.

  Peggy is cleaning her bone blade.

   Not far away.

  A blue circle of light is drifting blankly.

  It was a ghost with a blank expression.

   Until Matthew came over.

  The ghost's eyes gradually became brighter.

   "Matthew... you helped me."

   The ghost realizes what happened.

  Matthew raised the dead wood staff, and a stream of negative energy poured into the ghost's body, and the latter's almost nothing spirit body regained a little luster.

   "Sorry, Mr. Farmer, I couldn't come sooner."

  Matthew sighed lightly.

  Famaer is the owner of this farm.

  He and his family should have all died at the hands of those villains.

  When Matthew was planning to hunt down the arsonist earlier.

  He felt an extremely powerful resentment in the direction of the farm.

   This resentment actually continued to grow against the fire.

  It sensed the existence of Matthew.

   So pleaded with him for a chance of vengeance.

  Matthew would naturally not refuse.

  If such a powerful resentment sits idly by, it will inevitably give birth to a murderous ghost.

  He responded to the plea of ​​the other party with the summoning of the dead.

  In the end, Farmar's spirit body was transformed into a powerful ghost.

  The strength of ghosts depends on their own resentment.

   After the revenge is successful.

  Famar's spiritual body has been greatly weakened.

  If there is no external force interference.

  He's going to disappear soon.

  …

  “…Yesterday was Anthony’s (Farmer’s son) birthday. Our family went shopping in the town for half a day and bought a lot of things that children like: desserts, candies, butter bread, and strawberries with frosting…”

"When I went out in the morning, I felt that the omen was not good. The old dog Hunter kept barking, but I thought he was noisy, so I locked him in the warehouse...Damn me, I should have expected that Hunter would not come for no reason Bark, he is very spiritual..."

"...The group of people rushed in directly. They tied Lina and Anthony and killed the others. I only had a pitchfork in my hand, and the other men were defenseless. We relied on the warehouse to resist for a while...I couldn't even Buy them time to escape into the cellar, **** it!"

  …

   Farmer was talking in a rambling manner.

  Matthew listened in silence.

   This is a very responsible middle-aged man.

  In his conversations, almost all he mentioned was his family, brothers, and farm laborers.

  His face is full of nostalgia for life.

   But even with the negative energy injected by Matthew, his life as a ghost is about to come to an end.

unless-

   "Do you want to continue to exist in this form? I can help you."

   See Farmar's condition getting worse.

   Matthew couldn't help but raised his mouth.

   Farmar was taken aback for a moment.

  He shook his head:

   "No, thanks, Matthew, thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

   "Lina and the kids are waiting for me, I should go with them."

   said.

  He glanced in the east direction.

  Matthew followed along thoughtfully.

  His vision suddenly became gray—

   Just outside the burnt blackened stone house.

  Six or seven souls clustered together.

   They stare fondly at Farmar.

   Those were his family members.

  Matthew also saw that very cute little girl.

  She looked dazed.

   Doesn't seem to know what's going on yet.

   "I'm leaving, Matthew... There are some savings of mine in the cellar behind the mill, please take them away."

  Famaer's figure gradually turned into nothingness.

   "I only have one wish - don't leave us dead in the wilderness, okay?"

  The gray vision suddenly disappeared.

  Famar and the rest of the souls instantly disappeared.

  And Matthew's temples were still heaving violently.

  …

  「During the encounter and dialogue with ghosts, you have mastered the new ability ‘Elementary Vision’

  Basic Vision: You can see a corner of the world of ghosts.

  Remarks: Using this ability will greatly consume mental power”

  …

   "Hoo~"

   Matthew let out a long breath.

Under normal circumstances.

  Ghosts have a chance to be seen only when they become strong reality forms such as ghosts and ghosts.

  Ordinary ghosts are invisible to people.

  Necromancers can use the spell 'spirit perception' to capture traces of the soul body.

  But spirit perception is a third-level spell.

  So necromancers below level 8 rarely have ghosts as summons.

  Famar actually has a chance to become a powerful ghost.

   It's just that his resentment dissipated too quickly.

  If Matthew is an evil necromancer, he can force the other party to sign a contract with himself, and then not kill Hesse or continue to deceive Farmar Hesse not dead.

   In this way, you can harvest a ghost with amazing combat power.

   But give Matthew ten thousand chances.

  He wouldn't do that either.

  …

  The next step is to clean the battlefield and count the spoils.

  Matthew first set his sights on the body of the arsonist Hesse.

  He walked over.

   A frantic groping that is neither polite nor decent!

  …

   "You got the spoils—

  400GP&80SC;

  Fire glue*3 (set);

  Spirit Dragon Oil*2 (bottle);

   Molotov cocktail*1 (bottle);

   Invisibility Ring (unidentified);

   Token of Brotherhood of Silver Frost*1;

  Secret Letter*1;

  Muscle surgery scroll*6, Heightening surgery scroll*10」
