A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 50 Spoils of War

  …

  Everyone looked at each other for a while.

  Rega was about to draw his sword first, but halfway through, he took it back again.

  He looked at Matthew:

   "How to deal with it is up to you. Everything on this battlefield is your spoils of war, and so are the captives. You should have the power to deal with them."

  This sentence is tantamount to an official determination of the distribution of tonight's results.

   Matthew was not surprised.

   Putting aside the dislike of necromancers and daughter slaves, Rhaegar is indeed an upright and just lord.

   It's just that Matthew didn't think about how to deal with this big-hearted troll.

  He circled Shinwak three times.

  The latter snored like thunder and had no sense of crisis.

   "I can kill him for you."

   Rega suggested seeing this.

  Matthew shook his head:

   "I think a living ogre may be more valuable, and I kind of want to train him."

  Rega shrugged when he heard the words:

   "Then you'd better watch him to death. Don't look at him sleeping deeply now. When he wakes up, especially when he's hungry, he will be a very difficult threat."

  Matthew agreed with Rhaegar's opinion.

   Trolls are indeed dangerous and evil creatures. Perhaps it is easier to control them as undead creatures, but he always feels that the troll in front of him doesn't seem that bad.

  He's just a little too fat.

   "Can I do you a favor?"

  Matthew looked at Zeller with consulting eyes:

   "I plan to build a prison for the troll, but before that, I can't keep him in a controllable state."

   Zeller nodded:

   "It's not difficult."

   said.

  He took out his wand from his waist and pointed it at the sleeping ogre.

   "Crack, crack, crack!"

   After a short incantation.

  A bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of the wand, hitting the troll in the forehead.

   However, the latter did not respond.

   Zeller was not discouraged either.

   Repeated the previous spell three times in succession.

  When the fourth lightning hit Shinwak.

   The troll suddenly woke up, and he yelled:

   "Who's touching Shinwak's ass?!"

  The voice fell.

  His huge body shrunk dramatically.

   Soon turned into a jumping frog!

"Give."

   Zeller skillfully grabbed the frog, stuffed it into a glass bottle, and gave it to Matthew.

   "My malicious polymorph can last for 24 days, but during this period, this glass bottle cannot be broken, nor can he touch any living things."

  Matthew carefully took the bottle while nodding.

   "What are you going to do with him?"

   Zeller asked curiously.

  Matthew thought for a while:

   "I haven't figured it out yet, maybe..."

   "Can you use him to build a cemetery?"

  …

   After solving the troll threat.

   In the north of the oak forest, the only thing left is to clean up the battlefield.

  Rega ordered people to set up a monitoring station near the mine, and planned to survey the underground space of the Gold Digger Basin in the next few days to prevent underground creatures from infiltrating into the territory of Rolling Stone Town through other exits.

   These jobs have nothing to do with Matthew.

   At the moment.

  He is directing skeletons, zombies, and living people to carry corpses and count trophies.

   Rhaegar has already opened his mouth.

  Matthew intends to leave a share of the spoils for those who participated in the battle—including Zeller, Brad, Eli, etc., and the rest will be his own.

  Rough counting round.

  First of all, the cash income exceeded 1500 gold coins!

   This is still based on the fact that most kobolds and gnolls are poor and white.

   The Scourge Cult is actually not rich.

  The main reason is that Matthew killed too many people this time.

   Followed by equipment and weapons.

   Matthew picked up a lot of good things from the three fourth-tier fierce men—

  …

   "Rooster Battle Flag": This thing can improve the morale of the group and the vision and strength of the banner bearer, and at the same time activate a small-scale healing aura;

"Howler": It is the two-handed giant axe. This thing has effects such as "powerful", "wound tearing" and "spiritual weapon". price.

   There is still a small piece of fine gold on the axe, even if it is melted, it is not impossible to remove it, after all, fine gold and mithril are rare metals that spellcasters are very eager for;

"Rhino leather shorts": They were also taken from the wild boar. These pants are light and tough, and can provide armor values ​​far exceeding ordinary leather armor. The only defect is that the size is a bit large. One short can hold two Matthew;

"Magic Sword Scarona" and "Experience of Cursed Swordsman": a good magic sword and a booklet found on the half-dragon Cursed Swordsman. The latter also records the inheritance method of the Cursed Swordsman. Go to the Underdark to complete the inheritance task.

  The magic sword can only be used by people with psychic abilities except for the special profession of curse swordsman;

"Ring of Desire": Picked off from the body of a half-dragon, it is called desire, but the actual effect is abstinence. The wearer will gradually lose the desire to reproduce. In addition, it also provides 10 points of dark vision. Matthew tried it, and the effect is not bad, equal to There is no need for lighting in a completely dark environment;

"Cursed Mace": The main weapon of Gnoll Warlock Edson. It is of excellent quality. The negative effect is that the holder will deduct 2 points of agility and gain 4 points of strength. It is also suitable for some melee occupations. It is a small best;

   "Void Tome": a sealed magic book, which can only be opened by people from the Scourge Order with a unique spell;

"Counterstone (magic contract: Provides instant "counter-spell" once a day. This seemingly ordinary stone is actually a magic contract between the wizard and the suzerain, symbolizing the cooperation between the two Evidence of the relationship.

   Matthew mustered up a lot of courage to take down this stone.

  Whether it is the great demon Trier or the Midnight God, they are all offended anyway, and they don't care about offending to the end.

  The only concern is whether the other party will locate themselves through this stone.

  But he thought about it again, anyway, the location of the oak forest has been exposed long ago, and he will stay here in the short term, so the positioning is not important.

  If the Scourge really doesn't give up.

   Then let them come!

  …

  Finally, the most valuable trophy for Matthew, there are more than 300 corpses of wolf men or kobolds, and the remains of three fourth-order machos.

  Even 300 cannon fodder corpses are enough to create a negative energy "pool of death" in the cemetery.

  This directly changes the ecology of the cemetery.

   After Matthew decided to increase the number of skeletons to the upper limit, the remaining corpses were all used as materials to fill the pool of the dead.

   And advanced corpses are even more useful.

   It can be buried in exchange for "Gift of Nature", or it can be made into a black warrior or death knight.

   "It's a pity that the black warrior needs to be made at the fourth level. I have mastered the domain of the undead in advance, so I should be able to try it at the third level."

  Matthew knew that advancement was imminent.

   Fortunately, the "double harvest" time is about to pass.

   Next, I finally have time to arrange advanced matters.

   As for which of the three corpses will be used as a gift and which one will be used to make a black warrior, Matthew still has no idea.

   He intends to put them in a safekeeping collection first.

   Wait until the right time to make a decision.

  However, when Matthew was handling the body, he was surprised to find that the head of the wizard Edson had disappeared at some point!

  He knelt down to examine the wounds of the corpse carefully, and found that the marks on the head were smooth and smooth, and the skills of the head cutter were absolutely perfect.

   The appearance of the missing drow warrior immediately popped up in Matthew's mind!

   "She stole Edson's head? Wouldn't this guy be resurrected?"

  Matthew frowned.

  He is not afraid of Edson's comeback, but he is afraid of the drow warrior's ability to appear and disappear.

   Edson's body was surrounded by the garrison and several rings of zombies.

  The opponent can steal Edson's head without knowing it, which means that they can also launch a similar sneak attack.

  Matthew immediately ordered the bone dragon to start blind reconnaissance.

  It's a pity that Xiao Bo searched around and found nothing.

   "Looks like she stole Edson's head while I was cleaning up the mess."

   Matthew has some regrets.

   Edson's corpse would have been a great material for Darth Vader.

   For the headless horseman, you have to find a mount for him.

   "Forget it's too troublesome, let's bury it!"

  Matthew picked up the shovel skillfully.

   directly buried the body of the wolf man under an oak tree.

   Buried a gnoll in spring.

  What will nature gift?

   Matthew is looking forward to it.

  …

   After dealing with all kinds of spoils.

  Matthew finally had time to cast his gaze on the data column.

  …

"Hint: You have successfully completed a small battle and returned with a big victory. You have obtained the elements in the "combat field": strategy, hand-to-hand combat, temptation, and countermeasures. If you accumulate more elements, you will have the opportunity to obtain the "First Entry" combat field" opportunities.

  …

  After tonight, the "dreadful pale hand" will be widely circulated in the form of gossip.

   Your regional reputation (Rolling Stone Town/Underdark) +1

  The reputation of your power (wither order/scourge order) +1"

  …

  The accumulation of elements and popularity means that Matthew has taken another steady step on the path of legend.

  But what he gained tonight was not only that.

  …

  「Maintenance is also very important (subsequent task 2): Tonight, you successfully prevented the invasion of the Oak Forest by the Scourge Cult and the Underground Alliance, and you have received the reward "Wild Transformation II"!

  Wild Transformation II: You can choose an animal as your new wild form—

  Nightblade Lynx;

  Albatross;

   Brown Bear (Moonlight Enhancement)”
