A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 398: Growth of all things and life-stimulating techniques

Chapter 398 The Growth of All Things and the Art of Provoking Life

 …

 Spiritual Seed is a new ability that Matthew gained after entering the realm of life.

This ability allows Matthew to implant his own mental imprint on the target that meets the conditions, thereby completely controlling the target.

 With his current level of mental strength.

 At most two spiritual imprints can be differentiated.

  In other words.

 He can have two clones at the same time.

Matthew actually has some special respect for the eggs of the divine phoenix.

 Compared to other units.

 He is not so eager to parasitize a divine phoenix egg.

  But from a feature layer perspective.

 This egg is completely dead and contains no traces of soul, not even spiritual elements.

No great miracle may be able to bring him back from the dead.

 So he just hesitated.

 Then I decided to seize this opportunity!

 The moment.

Matthew separated a ray of spiritual brand, and then threw it into the egg of the divine phoenix.

Spiritual imprint is actually a mass of spiritual power that is free from the soul.

 Matthew is very careful when separating and handling.

 This kind of out-of-body mental power is easily exhausted due to lack of nourishment from the body.

 Once the peripheral mental energy is exhausted.

 The imprint wrapped in the core will soon fall apart.

  before that.

 He must find a suitable parasitic point!

The intense state in the Gray Lake made it more difficult for Matthew to parasitize. It took him an extra ten seconds to fully channel all his mental power into it.

                           …

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

 The situation is not too bad.

Immediately afterwards, he imitated Vasnov's spiritual worm in his mind and transformed the spiritual imprint into the appearance of a swimming worm.

This move gave Matthew a lot of parasitic power.

 He can feel it clearly.

  The movement of the spiritual imprint transformed into the form of a wandering insect inside the Divine Phoenix Egg has become smoother!

“Sure enough, these old guys have their own methods.”

Even if Matthew only imitated an appearance, it greatly improved the efficiency of parasitism.

soon.

 He then controlled the wandering insects to visit every corner of the Divine Phoenix Egg.

 Along with this process.

Matthew’s brows frowned slightly:

 “There is no spirituality at all? How can this be parasitic?”

 “Is it directly stuck to these egg yolks?”

“If I do this, even if I can successfully parasitize in the end, I will only get a phoenix egg as an incarnation, and may not be able to become a real phoenix..."

  Matthew realized the crux of the problem.

There is no prototype of a little phoenix in this divine phoenix egg, and even the embryo has not been born. If it wants to be parasitic, it can only transform into an egg.

 This is not what he wants!

“Once I choose to parasitize, I must extract the phoenix eggs from the Ash Lake as soon as possible, otherwise I will be invaded by the power of Ashes day and night, and I may be eroded by the Void Bloodline at a faster rate.”

"But if the phoenix egg is taken out, it will definitely break the balance between the dragon and the seal..."

 Matthew suddenly had a toothache.

 He found that parasitizing this phoenix egg did not seem to be as good as he first imagined!

 While he was thinking hard.

A violent roar sounded in Matthew's ears!

The voice was sharp and rough.

  It gives people a feeling of impact that is going to tear their eardrums apart!

This moment.

 Matthew lost control of his psychotic bug.

He had a headache for three or four seconds, his eyes turned dark red, he could feel fluid sloshing under his nose and in his ear canal, and there was a fishy lick in his mouth!

Matthew looked at the middle of the gray lake in shock and anger—

 That is the roar of the Heavenly Dragon Soul!

“I will tear the earth apart, I will tear the sky to pieces, I will let the ocean hang above the stars, and I will let you shameful imprisoners taste the eternal fire and fury!”

The roar of the heavenly dragon still echoed in Matthew's ears.

 His temples hurt so much!

 Thanks to his strong mental strength and high resilience, he quickly regained his composure.

 “The Soul of the Heavenly Dragon is becoming more and more irritable...”

Matthew looked at the turbulent sea in the gray lake and calmly wiped his nosebleed with a handkerchief.

  This section of the Dragon Soul under the Gray Lake gives people the worst impression.

 Compared to this violent maniac.

The Heavenly Dragon Soul under Junliu Island is much gentler.

The two sections of Tianlong Soul even express their gratitude.

 Not like this one.

 It gives the impression that he is a ferocious beast without reason!

 “Is it the reason for the balancing messenger and the ritual site?”

Matthew thought of Dalong Lake, Junliu Island, and the ceremonial sites scattered throughout.

  He had realized before that the emissary of Balance had set up the ceremonial ground in order to resolve something.

 Let’s look at it now.

 What the other party can resolve is most likely the ferocity of the Heavenly Dragon Soul!

 The completely different performances of the two dragon souls are enough to illustrate the credit of the balance messenger.

He used the power of terrain, topography and time to successfully resolve the violent tempers of the two dragon souls.

 This is obviously very rare.

 “I wonder how much time it took him?”

“If I go to Junliu Island to study, can I also set up a similar ceremony venue in Jade Cangting?”

 Matthew thought for a while.

I think this is very difficult to do.

His Balance Envoy level is very low, and it is still a part-time job. It is definitely not as skilled as his predecessors.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dragon Soul on Junliu Island was still sleeping at that time.

 The dragon soul under the Gray Lake has awakened.

 It’s definitely not that easy to fool.

 But no matter what, Matthew planned to give it a try.

 After all, phoenix eggs still have a certain value.

 What if it really can hatch?

Matthew gained a phoenix incarnation out of thin air, so he must have made a lot of money.

 Even if it is still an egg.

  Matthew is wasting a little mental imprint at most.

 There is no additional cost.

What's more, if the phoenix egg is hard enough, it can be used to hit people!

 Just do it if you think of it.

Matthew took advantage of the rest of the Heavenly Dragon Soul to concentrate again and reestablish contact with the spiritual imprint in the phoenix egg.

This time he was quite decisive.

  Sprinkle the spiritual imprint evenly into the egg yolk directly.

 The whole mass of branding turned into strands.

 Slowly began to blend into the life substances attached to the egg yolk that had lost their spirituality.

 This involves a process of spiritual activation.

 Matthew looked at it.

 The parasitic efficiency is quite high.

 As long as you can replenish your spiritual energy on time, it will be fine.

 For anyone else this might be a problem.

 But having just experienced a hearty natural disaster of the undead, the most indispensable thing in Matthew's hands is all kinds of spirituality!

If you stack spirituality, you can hatch a phoenix.

Then Matthew can now start thinking about what posture he should use to complete the first clone's flight!

 Have done all this.

Matthew then turned his attention back to reality.

 At this moment.

 In front of him stood two mages, a man and a woman.

 They both looked at themselves extremely nervously.

The male mage is Henry, the wild mage whom Matthew had previously recruited, and is now his assistant.

 Matthew glanced at Henry.

 The latter lowered his head slightly, with a somewhat submissive expression.

Matthew had no reaction, but felt a little disappointed.

In his opinion.

Henry is obviously a fifth-level mage, but his aura is not as good as the third-level female mage next to him.

Perhaps because of his background as a wild mage + necromancer, he is always three points weaker than the alliance mage unconsciously.

 Matthew gave him many opportunities.

 But he does not seem to have the willingness and ability to seize these opportunities.

Matthew feels that Henry is still suitable for a position similar to that of a researcher, or to maintain a fixed project.

 There is no problem with his professionalism.

  It's just that there are loopholes in interpersonal communication and management.

  Comparatively.

The blond, blue-eyed, hot-bodied female mage next to her is much better.

 She is Leslie, a former mage apprentice who has worked with Matthew several times before.

Now Leslie has successfully graduated from the academy. The graduation requirement for a mage apprentice with a professional background is level 8. Leslie is obviously much better than this standard.

Matthew vaguely remembered that when he sent the invitation letter to the other party, the female mage was already at level 11.

 When we met again in the camp.

 Matthew noticed that Leslie was already at level 12.

 She has done an excellent job in the management tasks assigned to her by Matthew, and has already begun preparing for subsequent advancements.

This made Matthew couldn't help but look at her differently.

 Matthew knows.

 Mage apprentices with a professional background will be upgraded very quickly after graduation.

 This is because the Magic Academy will lay a good foundation for them. In order to lay the foundation, they will even restrict their upgrade speed to a certain extent.

 It is often the case that an apprentice is still at level 8-9 when he graduates, but after two or three years, he is already at level 15-16.

 This phenomenon is almost unbelievable to wild mages.

 But they often ignore the role of accumulation and the fact that professional mages have better talents.

Lesley is a very typical example.

 There are currently many apprentices in the mage camp who are very similar to her.

 Some of them are about to graduate, some have just graduated, and they are all in a period of rapid development in life.

 Matthew is very optimistic about their future.

 He also realized that this group of people might become his help in the future.

 So Matthew has had a lot of contact with the apprentices in the camp these days.

Matthew is now famous.

Not to mention the apprentices, even the formal mages came to deal with Matthew enthusiastically.

 This period of time comes down.

 Matthew met many familiar faces.

 He plans to select some members as soon as possible after finishing the Marks of the Dead project and arrange some other projects for them.

 This process is both a test and a win-win.

 Except the undead.

  It’s time for Matthew to form some of his own mage team.

  Ronan’s base camp is in Gemstone Bay.

So there must be someone to fill the gap in the mage area of ​​Rolling Stone City, right?

 “Sir Matthew? Are you okay?”

Lesley looked at the blood on Matthew's face with some concern. She had conjured up a cup of chrysanthemum tea early and was waiting nearby.

 As for Henry.

 He is still in a daze.

Matthew shook his head secretly in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm:

 “I’m fine.”

Lesley looked at the violently boiling gray lake and asked:

 “I thought I heard a roar just now, but it wasn’t clear.”

“But the boiling intensity seems to be getting higher and higher. I wonder what your previous plan was?”

Matthew replied calmly:

 “Let’s not blow it up yet.”

 “I’m looking for other options.”

joke.

 I didn’t know before that it was the Heavenly Dragon Soul and the Lord of the Void who were fighting, so he planned to blow it up directly.

 Now we know the inside story.

Matthew wouldn’t dare to do this even if he had 10,000 courages.

 “Then what should we do?”

Seeing that Matthew had no intention of drinking tea, Leslie diligently picked up two bags of cold diamonds from the ground next to them.

These actions make her figure even more eye-catching.

Even Matthew couldn't help but take a second look.

"What's wrong?"

Lesley was not angry at all, but looked at Matthew with a smile.

 “In the future, go out of the camp less often. Even if you have to leave the camp, remember to wear loose mage robes.”

Matthew warned seriously:

 “You’re like this, and it’s easy to attract the jealousy of female wood elves.”

Leslie was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Henry next to him finally reacted. He gritted his teeth and stared at Leslie's chest -

The two bags of cold diamonds were clearly brought over by him!

 He took a step forward and asked:

“Lord Matthew, according to the current intensity, the mitigation materials we prepared may not be enough...”

Matthew said calmly:

 “Then increase the dose!”

Henry looked a little embarrassed:

“It’s possible, but the cost will go up a lot.”

Matthew raised his eyes:

“Remember to write down every expense, compile it into a bill, and send the purchase receipt to Jade Cangting.”

 “This account shall be placed on their heads.”

“Well, don’t send it to the door of the paralyzed Willow Leaf Mechanism, just give it to Biananna.”

 Finish this sentence.

 He found that Leslie and Henry were looking at him extremely earnestly.

Matthew’s eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them.

 “I’ll leave this to you, Ms. Leslie.”

 In Henry's eyes full of disappointment.

 Matthew waved his hand, turned and left.

 …

 Leslie is fast and resolute in her work.

 That evening, Matthew received the money she had received from Beanna. This also reflects from the side that Tyrast has indeed taken over the administrative power of Jade Cangting without any noise.

 And Biana also became the most powerful person on the surface with his support.

 All elves know it.

 She represents the will of Terraste.

 Suppose the God of Elves is really resurrected.

 Then she is a well-deserved saint.

Matthew originally thought that "letting a human be the saint of the elves" would cause some trouble.

  But it turns out.

 There was no turmoil at all.

Trast simply saw through his compatriots.

This made Matthew even more awe-struck by Terraste’s methods—

 The old elf man is both civil and military.

 Absolutely not be your enemy!

 Since the first batch of exiles entered the Secret Light Jungle.

The Valley of the Sacred Tree, which was originally unnoticed, has become bustling with people. Many wood elves come here for pilgrimage every day, including many former refugees.

The situation in Jade Cangting has completely stabilized.

Biana maintains a frequency of showing up every three days, sending 800 to 1,000 exiles into the Secret Light Jungle each time.

other time.

 She is hidden from the sight of the elves.

Biana is still like this.

  The image of Tyrast, who was completely invisible, became even taller in the hearts of the elves.

 People can’t remember the last time he appeared.

 The atmosphere of faith in the Valley of the Divine Trees is getting stronger and stronger.

 Later.

Every day, young elven men and women sing and dance in the valley.

 They seem to have forgotten the **** chaos of "Bloody May" and are immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of the revival of faith.

 Scattered voices of opposition were drowned in the huge emerald green courtyard.

 Even Talani and Ailan, who had previously been the most steadfast opponents, no longer appeared.

Matthew estimated that the former was hypnotized by Beanna every day until he fell asleep, while the latter should have started preparing to go all out to become a legend.

This kind of singing and dancing environment is of course the best for Matthew.

Even A Bing also benefited -

This kid squats among a pile of authentic works of ancient beauties to appreciate aesthetics every day.

 His practice in the field of aesthetics has entered the most critical state.

  Matthew estimate.

It won’t take long for him to master the fields of art and beauty, and then accumulate enough practice points to become a legend with “Shadow”, “Killing” and “Art and Beauty”!

 For units like the undead which are inherently deficient.

 It is already a miracle to be promoted to legend.

 Not to mention that A Bing has many fields.

  Matthew is already looking forward to the changes after A Bing is promoted to legend!

 And he himself did not waste his time.

In addition to daily affairs and the maintenance of the traces of the dead.

Matthew finally found the opportunity to start the first "spell enhancement training".

  Spell upgrade training is an opportunity after entering the fifth level, and you only have one opportunity for each level.

 Through this training.

  Able to train originally lower-level spells into higher-level spells.

  And before that.

Matthew also conducted a round of screening of the low-level spells he mastered.

 He established two standards—

 First, there will be direct elimination of advanced spells in the future. Just learn the advanced spells directly without special upgrades. An example of this is "Malicious Transformation/Group Malicious Transformation".

 Second, practicality is the main factor, and those with higher frequency of use are ranked higher.

finally.

The first spell he chose to level up was the Druid's signature spell—

 “Grow fast”!

 The feeling after starting the spell enhancement training is very wonderful.

Matthew could feel that his body had temporarily opened a two-way channel to the etheric plane.

 This makes him completely exposed to the etheric plane, and there is a risk of being etherified.

 At the same time, he also received a silver cloak that could not be seen by others.

 …

“Aether Cloak: While the Aether Cloak lasts, you can use the target spell at a high frequency that exceeds the limit on the number of spells cast by the human body.

 Current target spell: Rapid Growth.

 Available times per day: 120 times.

  Warning: You have used the treasure "Quick Gem" on yourself, and you have broken more shackles of the human body!

 The number of times available per day has been increased to 240! "

 …

  The mechanism of spell upgrade training is actually very similar to Colin's Tobacco Leaf.

 Can break the bloodline restrictions that the human body uses to protect itself.

  But the difference is.

The shackles broken by spell upgrade training are fixed to a certain spell, and the gap between the mage and the etheric plane is relatively small. Although there is also the risk of etherification, it is much lower than the addiction to Colin's tobacco leaves.

But Matthew considered that rapid growth was just a trick, and it would take more training to reach the fifth level he wanted, so he simply used the "Speed ​​Gem" he had previously obtained from the alliance traitor Spencer.

 With his current mental strength and the divinity in his hands, he should be able to offset the risks of releasing more exposure to the etheric plane.

 After the preparations were completed, Matthew got to work directly.

The training that matches the spell of rapid growth is of course planting trees!

 It just so happened that the tree planting efficiency of Umbrella Project 2.0 was far inferior to the popularization efficiency of Death Territory, so Matthew planned to personally lead the team to improve the progress—

 It is impossible to expect that group of druids to complete the task efficiently.

 Druids are inherently undisciplined beings.

 They may be keen on planting trees.

But it’s hard to force them to clock in every day as if they have completed a task, or plant trees like a robot like crazy.

it's out of the question.

Matthew went to the defense several times to patrol the surrounding area and found that most of the druids were either flirting, chatting, or simply flirting and chatting at the same time—still in small groups.

 They did plant a lot of trees.

 But it is far from what Matthew asked for.

 Hence after Matthew began to work.

The young druids of the Earth Society felt for the first time what it means to be shocked from the cemetery!

Matthew specially recruited a group of skilled workers to dig holes from the mother of coolies.

He compiled this group of coolie zombies into an independent roll call and asked them to dig holes day and night on the outer layer of the previously planned extension zone.

Matthew himself is personally responsible for planting trees and growing them quickly.

 As for the laborious landfilling in the middle.

Then the intercession is provided by the spirits of nature in the holly oak seeds. These nature spirits have been lying in the shelter provided by Matthew for so long, and it is time for them to come out and stretch their muscles.

 And those young druids.

Matthew’s only request from them was to ripen as many seeds as possible.

 This is not difficult for a druid at all.

 What's more, even if they can't keep up with the progress.

Matthew is also assisted by Ella of Moonglade and other nature spirits.

all in all.

Matthew showed the efficiency of afforestation under the extremely mature teamwork on the first day.

The Trace of the Dead starts from Gemstone Bay in the east, passes through Jade Cangting, and is sucked into Rolling Stone Town.

 There are a total of 34 protruding sections along the way.

 Matthew had made plans beforehand.

 The first day came down.

 He covered 6 protruding sections by himself, which means he created six forests!

 And this time.

  Matthew did not have a simple choice of oak or pine.

 As long as they are trees suitable for the environment.

 Matthew welcomes everyone who comes!

quickly.

He planted oak forest, pine forest, camphor forest, peach forest, willow forest... at a speed that stunned the druids...

Matthew’s figure at work is like the grace of the **** of agriculture in ancient times.

 The place he passed by.

 After one night, lush green woods will appear.

 Led by Matthew.

The druids who were used to paddling suddenly started working hard with all their strength.

They twisted into a rope, vaguely intending to compete with Matthew.

Matthew didn’t mind this at all.

He wished that all the druids could wind up and work hard for him.

that's all.

This vigorous afforestation boom lasted until late June.

 Matthew spent almost a week wrapping all 34 extended sections of synapses.

 This means 34 woods, with a total of nearly 4,000 towering trees!

 More than 2,000 of the trees were planted by Matthew himself.

 The rest is the joint contribution of the dozen druids.

finally.

Matthew completed the spell training before the Aether Cloak disappeared, and also completed the forest part of the Umbrella Plan just before midsummer!

Walking in a camphor forest filled with the fragrance of vegetation.

Matthew silently felt the changes in the spells he had mastered.

 After practicing more than 2,000 times.

 The spell of rapid growth has undergone a qualitative change!

 It has become the fifth-level spell in Matthew's mind as he wished!

 …

“Growth of all things (formerly rapid growth): At dawn every day, you can implement the effect of rapid growth on all plants on a hectare of land at once.

special.

 Whenever you use the growth of all things to spawn a forest, the forest will have a certain chance of randomly giving birth to the following three qualities -

  1. Fairies of light (there will be a large number of fairies of light who will settle and multiply here, and respect you as their master)

  2. Spring of the Moon (A pool of water that shines under the moonlight will appear in your forest. This pool of water will inject more vitality into your forest. Drinking the pool water can slowly restore mana)

  3. Friendly animals (there will be many friendly and powerful animals attracted to these woods, and they often have the potential to become the soul of nature)

also.

  You can use Growth of All Things on undead or negative energy units.

  The latter will face effects similar to “Divinity: Divine Retribution”!

 Available ten times a day. "

 …

  The success of spell enhancement training is something worth celebrating.

 Matthew gained experience from this.

He has submitted an application to the Silver Council to enter the Arcane Castle, where he can upgrade as many of the low-level spells he masters into high-level spells as possible.

 The experience this time will be of great use.

 What surprised Matthew even more.

This sudden large-scale afforestation operation actually made him enter the realm of death easily!

certainly.

 It is different from the rapid advancement in the field of life brought about by the undead natural disasters.

Matthew has only reached a preliminary level of exploration in the realm of death this time.

therefore.

 He has only mastered one domain ability.

 …

  "Surge of Death: Your probability of instant death is increased by 10%."

 …

 This is a quite practical ability.

The Necromancer's combat methods are nothing more than summoning his subordinates, negative energy debuffs, and the probability of death with one shot.

The useless feature of instant death judgment makes the Necromancer face a very passive situation in single combat.

Matthew had already practiced the Death Curse, a spell that could improve the judgment of immediate death.

Now the life-stimulating technique has been added.

His judgment of imminent death is much higher than that of ordinary people.

 Maybe it will come in handy at a critical moment.

 “I have now successfully entered the realm of life and death.”

“The two are also sharply opposed but can be coordinated.”

“I can complete the Equilibrium Contract in a formal way—just make a few modifications to the Equilibrium Contract between the Oak Tree and the Undead.”

“In my previous plan, in the definition of each major field, I will now face the final stage, which is nature and immortality.”

“I incorporate life into nature, and elevate immortality above death. As long as I can successfully enter these two realms, complete the definition of concepts and write a balanced contract, my legendary path will basically be complete.”

 “Becoming a legend is a matter of course…”

 On the way back to camp.

 Matthew thought a lot about what happened next.

 It was quiet in the campground.

The mages are very obedient. They basically stay in their own rooms and rarely go out to cause trouble.

 Matthew was satisfied with this.

 He likes this peaceful atmosphere very much.

 However, when he came to the door of his room humming a little tune.

  But he found a slender figure.

 “Talani?”

 Matthew looked at each other in surprise.

He rarely saw Terrani without armor or men's clothing.

 Let alone a pair of pajamas!

at the same time.

Matthew noticed that the corners of the Major General Wind Chaser’s eyes were red and the bags under his eyes were swollen. He had obviously cried a while ago.

"What happened?"

 Matthew stepped forward.

Talani bit her lip, turned her head to Matthew's door, and spoke in a hoarse and slight voice:

 “Go in and talk.”

 Matthew nodded.

 But at this time.

A human figure hurriedly walked in at the gate of the camp.

 Matthew looked back.

It was Biana wearing a gray nun's robe and her face covered with a veil!

Biana rushed over as soon as she saw Tyrani.

 Her face showed a relieved smile:

 “Finally found you.”

 “Come back with me.”

 “It’s time to go to bed, Nini...”

 While speaking.

 She had the nightmare pendant in her hand, and a very sweet smile appeared on her face.

Talani’s face instantly turned pale when she saw the pendant:

 “Don’t, don’t, don’t…”

She grabbed Matthew's hands with all her strength, and the veins on the back of her white hands almost jumped out:

"help me!"

Tyrani helplessly and restrainedly lowered her voice in Matthew’s ear:

 “She wants to kill me!”

 …

Continue to ask for monthly tickets! I feel no pressure at all. Are you too weak or am I too strong?
