MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 105 Malicious Polymorph
Chapter 105 Malicious Transfiguration
…
177 led Matthew towards the east room on the top floor.
He introduced while walking:
"Don't worry, that child is very well-behaved now.
Under my teaching, he has become a complete vegetarian, you have to be careful not to let him touch the smell of blood and fresh meat, he will vomit.
Usually you only need to provide him with a certain amount of rice and wheat. He will eat stones when he is hungry.
Of course, in order to ensure the intake of protein and fat, you'd better provide him with a bucket of milk every week to ensure his health.
It doesn't matter if you don't have one, the troll has a strong body, even if it has been hungry for several years, it is still strong and durable. "
During the conversation.
The two came near the room where the troll was held.
Matthew noticed that the rooms here are essentially assembled from fence structures.
In this area, as long as 177 thinks, he can build the buildings he wants at any time by controlling the various forms of basic structures here.
He claims to be the Emperor of the Crucible House, which is not wrong from this point of view.
After entering the room, Matthew saw the hill-like Shinwak lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.
He seemed to have lost a little weight, other than that, the only difference from before was the appearance of a slender collar around his neck.
177 pointed to the collar and said:
"See, the remote control in your hand is used to control the shock collar.
I set three levels for the remote control, which represent different intensities of current stimulation.
If he doesn't obey, you can push the remote control to the first position, and the current running through the neck and spine will give him a mild punishment.
If he does something wrong, you put it in second gear, and he'll quickly realize that it's you warning him.
But in the vast majority of cases, try not to use third gear. "
Matthew speculated reasonably:
"Is it because the current in third gear is so high that it might hurt him?"
177 nodded first, then shook his head:
"The first half of the sentence is correct, but the second half is wrong. In fact, the current in the third gear is so strong that he will think you are rewarding him."
Matthew was full of question marks at the time.
"Sinva!"
177 shouted softly, and at the same time did not forget to explain to Matthew:
"This is the pet name I gave him. The word Xinwak is too difficult to pronounce and not intimate enough. What do you think?"
Shinwak, who was lying on the ground, woke up suddenly, and he hurried over rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Matthew complimented:
"Your naming skills are much better than mine."
177 Great Music:
"I've known for a long time that I'm very talented in naming! How about this, Matthew, when you have a baby, let me help you name it! It's best to have a few more children so that I can maximize my potential. talent."
Matthew's smiling face suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, he has become very good at dealing with embarrassing situations recently.
He pretended nothing had happened, walked quickly towards Shinwak, and looked at the troll's body curiously.
A few seconds later, Matthew gently stretched out his index finger, and flicked it on the skin of Shinwak's heel!
"Ah, the master doesn't want it!"
"it hurts!"
Who knows the next second.
The troll fell to the ground crying!
Shinwak looked very painful, covering the place where Matthew was bounced with his hands, and twitched on the spot.
Matthew watched this scene in surprise:
"How is this going?"
177 came over and explained:
"At the beginning, when I was training Xinwa, I found that he was too insensitive. Even if I punched him, he would just grunt twice and then fell asleep. This situation irritated me, so I adjusted it with spells. How about his sensitivity, isn't it bad?"
Matthew curiously said:
"But his reaction is too exaggerated, wait, how much sensitivity did you adjust?"
"1000 times!"
177 said proudly.
Matthew took a deep breath:
"Why is it 1000 times?"
177 answered as a matter of course:
"Because I think 10000 times is too cruel."
Matthew was taken aback when he heard the words, and felt that what the other party said seemed to be reasonable.
177 adds:
"Of course, the training has initially ended. If you want to take him away, I will cancel the magic effect of sensitivity. I just don't know if he will feel sorry. After all, Xinwa is probably the first in history to have A troll with such a sensitive physique, that alone is enough to go down in history."
Seeing the horror on the face of the troll.
Matthew couldn't bear to ask what happened in the past month.
He said on the spot that he was going to take it away.
177 immediately pointed to the biggest button on the remote control and said:
"Then click this to try."
Matthew did as he was told.
After pressing the button, a burst of white light enveloped the troll's body, and with a whoosh, only a collar remained in place.
177 walked over and picked up the collar, and handed it to Matthew:
"Didn't you think so? I also added a dimensional space to the collar, which is big enough to accommodate two trolls. This is a design made to prevent Xinwa from getting too fat in the future. genius!"
Matthew smiled and took the collar, and found that there was still a lettering in the inner circle——
「177's love collar (made for Matthew, another founder of "Ronan Must Die", I would like to commemorate our friendship with this object
Seeing this, Matthew was both moved and worried.
If Master Ronan finds out that he has this thing, will he really not slap himself?
But the practicality of this circle is indeed very high.
In the end he had to accept 177's kindness with a smile.
Afterwards, Matthew took out a set of pottery from his luggage and gave it to 177.
These things are everywhere in the abandoned kilns on Junliu Island. Matthew brought back a dozen sets, and he has already given one set to Rhaegar and Sif. The latter seemed particularly happy after receiving the gift.
177 as Ronan's confidant.
Matthew naturally couldn't fall behind.
He thought that the well-informed 177 would not appreciate this gift, but who knew that the latter would cry after receiving the pottery:
"Oh, Matthew, I can't remember the last time I got a gift!
That guy Ronan is busy outside every year, and he doesn’t even remember my birthday.
The last time I received a gift was five years ago, when he went to Purgatory to ransack the lair of an ancient red dragon, killed several young red dragons, and made a fortune.
Before departure, he promised me that he would distribute some red dragon corpses to me after the matter was completed.
However, what ended up in my hands was a large piece of red dragon intestines!
What was even more exaggerated was that the red dragon seemed to have just eaten food not long ago.
Damn Ronan!
Is he implying that I should eat shit?
woo woo woo.
The pottery is interesting, their shapes remind me of some ancient constructs.
It's a pity that I lack a little spirituality inside. I will go back and study and study, maybe there will be surprises. "
Farewell to 177 post.
Matthew takes the elevator to the market area.
He wants to visit the magic item market here, buy a few bottles of growth green liquid, and see if he can buy some equipment for himself.
This time when he came back from the south, aside from the funds used to establish the Oak Chamber of Commerce, Matthew also had more than two thousand gold coins in cash on hand.
Before, he didn't even dare to look at the magic props here.
But today is different from the past.
When Matthew walked into the official magic mall this time, his back was straighter.
…
The official mall in the market area consists of a series of magic windows.
This is the store under the name of the Archmage Ronan, and the things produced in it either come from Ronan's mage tower in Jewel Bay, or from the industry of other archmages of the Seven Saints Alliance.
Matthew just entered the door.
was surrounded by a pair of forks, a plate, and a magic broom.
"Do you need service, sir? We can quickly find what you want to buy, which will save you a lot of time. You know, time is the lifeblood of a mage."
The three magical creatures scrambled to say.
Matthew declined their recommendation as a shopping guide.
Because these magic shopping guides also need to consume additional service fees.
Although he is no longer poor, he is not taken advantage of.
See Matthew strong-willed.
The three magical creatures dispersed in great disappointment.
Before leaving, I heard them muttering:
"It's okay, those who don't want to hire a shopping guide are usually poor ghosts, and this little mage doesn't have much oil and water on him."
"You're right, but I haven't opened for a month."
"No way, who forced the closure of several nodes in the north? Ever since the mages in those wealthy cities couldn't come to the Crucible House, the business here has become more and more difficult..."
Matthew looked thoughtfully at the retreating back of the magical creature.
"The node from the Crucible House to the northern city is closed? Does this mean that Master Ronan's situation in the Star Realm has deteriorated again?"
It is useless to think too much.
Matthew withdrew his attention and walked among the windows alone.
You can walk and walk.
His complexion is not right!
Matthew never expected that what those magical creatures said was not wrong. Compared with the prices here, he is indeed a poor ghost!
This is the way to go.
He actually took a fancy to several magic items.
However, their price is really prohibitive.
…
「Advanced body bag: It can store 25 corpses at the same time (corpses only), and only has 1/3 the size of a normal body bag.
Price: 200 gold coins.
Dragon Fire Amulet (Intelligence +1): Activate the Dragon Fire on this amulet, and you can instantly clear all buff spell effects below Legendary on the target unit.
Specially, when the target has "counter-magic", Dragonfire can not only break the counter-magic, but also apply the effect of "mana ignite" to the target depending on the level of "counter-magic".
Mana Ignition: In a short period of time, the target's mana will burn quickly to the bottom.
Price: 5000 gold coins.
Shadow Staff (Intelligence +1): When you use this staff to cast spells, you will summon three ghost images around you. These three shadow images can not only play the role of confusing audiovisual effects, but also Accelerates your spellcasting, making your spellcasting speed up to 4x!
In addition, this spell also provides a large number of metamagic skill bonuses for shadow-type spells.
Price: 8000 gold coins. "
…
If the high-end body bag Matthew gritted his teeth and could still afford it.
Then the more coveted "Dragon Fire Charm" and "Shadow Staff" will have to embezzle public funds.
Through the windows.
Matthew's expression became more and more numb.
Arrived later.
He simply ran to the window of a legendary item.
Anyway, it doesn’t cost money to look at it!
Only three props are displayed in this window.
…
「Oklo’s Guardian Light Sphere: After activating a specific spell, the effect of "absolute defense (sixth-order spell will be formed within a spherical range with a radius of 3 kilometers from the center of the light sphere.
Price: 200,000 gold coins.
Oklo’s twin angels (statue): After activating the statue with blood, you can summon two lower angels (LV21~LV24) to fight for you.
Price: 200,000 gold coins.
Ronan's cane: The cane that Archmage Ronan used to travel around the world when he was young does not have strong magic power, but it has a unique commemorative value.
Price: 100,000 gold coins. "
…
Maybe I was blinded by too many 0s, or maybe I was completely numb.
Matthew didn't think how expensive the first two items were.
It's just the last one that confuses him.
"How can a mediocre walking stick sell for 100,000 gold? No matter how black-hearted Ronan is, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing, right? Could it be that this staff has other secrets?"
Unfortunately, whether there is another mystery has nothing to do with Matthew.
With his current net worth, unless he can find a way to kidnap Rhaegar for a ransom, it is absolutely impossible to scrape together a hundred thousand gold coins.
left this row of magic windows.
Matthew's eyes ignited raging flames.
He can't wait to make money!
"At the very least, get the "Dragon Fire Talisman". With it, you don't have to be afraid of the enemy's counterattack and buff effects at all, and the enemy still has to be afraid of my counterattack. Once you enter and exit, don't worry about it. It is said that it is a fourth-level mage, but I dare to fight a fifth-level mage! "
Matthew walked towards the cashier counter with high spirits, and said to the staff:
"Here are three bottles of "Growing Green Liquid". "
But after getting closer, he realized that this staff member was actually the female mage he had met while waiting for the elevator.
She still wears thick black-rimmed glasses, and the dusty mage robe has been replaced by the overalls of the Crucible House, looking younger and brighter.
"There is no growing green liquid for sale in the mall, only higher-level "fast-growing potion", sir, are you... eh, is that you? "
The female mage obviously recognized Matthew.
She looked a little shy, but still mustered up the courage to say to Matthew:
"Hello, my name is Rosita. I didn't even have the chance to thank you for your reminder that day—I was applying for a position here. I only found out afterwards that the Supreme Master 177 liked to make jokes when we took the elevator. It was said that he was induced Anyone who speeds up will be scared to death, anyway, thank you very much!"
Matthew smiled and waved:
"It's just a small thing."
"Don't call me a lord, just call me Matthew, uh, can you bring me the "Fast Health Potion"? "
"I need about 3 bottles."
Rosita ran away briskly:
"no problem!"
After a while.
She came over carrying a large drawer.
Rosita opened the box of one of the drawers, took out a bottle of dark green potion, and handed it to Matthew.
Matthew took the potion and glanced at the label in the drawer calmly.
「Fast-growing potion: Strongly increase the growth speed of plants (the effect is about 15 times that of "Spell: Fast Growth").
Price: 200 gold coins/bottle"
See prices.
Matthew's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
"Matthew, is this what you want?"
asked Rosita.
Matthew nodded slightly.
"Does that mean three bottles?"
Rosita asked again.
Matthew blinked, thinking in a state of contemplation:
"No, two bottles are enough. I suddenly remembered that I still have one bottle at home."
Rosita did not doubt that he was there, and quickly dressed up for Matthew.
"Here, a total of 380 gold coins."
she says.
"Is there a discount?"
Matthew asked unexpectedly.
Rosita blushed and nodded, she whispered:
"I can use my employee card to give you a 5% discount. This is the price of our internal shopping. If I can be promoted to a supervisor, I have the opportunity to get a 10% discount."
"Thank you, Rosita."
Matthew suddenly felt much happier:
"Where are you a mage?"
Rosita said shyly:
"Jewel Bay, I was originally a third-level apprentice in Lord Erwin's mage tower, but Lord Erwin's assistant thought I was too stupid, so he kicked me out. Fortunately, I successfully applied for the job that day, Mr. 177 Give me a job, or I'll be a wandering wild mage."
Speaking of the last sentence.
Her face showed deep fear.
Jewel Bay.
There is Ronan's stronghold.
After paying the money, Matthew put the potion in his bag, and then said to Rosita:
"I'm from Rolling Stone Town. If you have time next time, we can chat. I'm very curious about Jewel Bay."
Rosita's face turned red again.
She just wanted to tell Matthew that she only works half a day every Thursday, five, six and three days.
Unfortunately Matthew has walked away.
…
After leaving the Crucible House, Matthew hurried back home.
His schedule was very full this day.
At eight o'clock in the morning.
Matthew led Laila to a house in the civilian area.
Then knock on the door to visit.
The owner of the house is named Jin Li. She is a teacher of language, humanities and art at Sever College.
Jin Li is enthusiastic, responsible and good at communicating with people.
Apart from her 200-jin weight, she has almost no shortcomings.
After learning that the purpose of Matthew's visit is to invite him to take extra-curricular time to help his friend with tutoring.
Jin Li readily agreed and offered a 20% discount on the tuition fee proposed by Matthew.
Laila, who was at a loss at first, realized that Matthew had to pay someone to teach her to read and write. She was a little uneasy.
Taking advantage of Jinli's opportunity to go to the toilet.
Leila protested in a low voice:
"I can read and write! Common Language, Underground Common Language, even the language of the gray dwarves, I can...a little bit."
Matthew smiled and said to her:
"The president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce needs to know more than a little bit."
"Jin Li is a very good person. I hope you can learn more about human society from her. This is very important to me. Do you understand?"
Laila wanted to protest a few words.
But hear Matthew say that.
She was silent for a while, and then said firmly:
"I see."
After entrusting Lila to Jinli.
Matthew rushed to the Lord's Mansion to clock in and go to work non-stop.
Come down in the first half of the day.
He and Rhaegar had nothing to do in the two offices.
Zeller still didn't show up.
But since Rhaegar didn't say it clearly, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Matthew didn't ask.
After a lunch in the Lord's Mansion.
Matthew found an excuse to sneak away, and ran all the way to the oak forest, starting today's tree planting business.
Before planting.
He spent a lot of money to buy the "Fast Health Potion" and tried different ratios of watering effects, and roughly found a range with the best cost performance.
He just started working.
With the help of zombies, planting trees doesn’t actually take too much time, mainly because after-the-fact observation takes up more energy.
It was dark on this day.
Matthew successfully planted 24 oak trees on the land further north.
This number is basically the maximum he can achieve without overdrawing the domain.
If there are more, not only will the saplings fail to keep up, but the life elements in the land will also deteriorate further.
Although Matthew wants to get as many reinforcement points as possible.
But the realm of temperance warned him.
Everything should be done in moderation.
At least he planned to do so before obtaining a large number of high-quality oak seeds.
…
Late at night.
After hastily eating dinner and taking a hot bath, Matthew poured himself a cup of strong coffee.
Then began tonight's spell supplementary time.
Due to the rapid upgrade speed, his spell foundation is not solid, and he needs to work harder than others to catch up with the progress.
After entering the third order.
The spells he can learn are several times more than before.
It took a lot of effort for Matthew to come up with a brand new spell learning list and schedule.
It’s just the first spell on this list, but unexpectedly it’s not in the realm of undead, but a magic skill in the general realm, closer to the transformation realm—
Malicious polymorph.
The reason why Matthew listed it first is also very simple.
Because this is strongly recommended by Master Ronan, a spell that must be learned after entering the third level.
It is said that the difficulty is very high.
Matthew himself has been curious about it for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity to get started, he naturally chooses to face the difficulties.
But before officially starting to learn "Malicious Transformation".
Matthew must first determine his own "malicious deformation target".
Generally speaking, there are three options here, which also represent the different difficulties of Malicious Transfiguration—
1. Frog (or toad)
2. Wild boar
3. Goats.
Matthew listed the names of these three animals on the paper and fell into deep thought.
