MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 132 Oil of Darkness and the Fountain of Immortality
Chapter 132 Dark God Oil and the Holy Spring of Immortality
…
On the west side of the cemetery, in the spacious workshop, Matthew took the five corpses preserved in wax seals out of the body bags and placed them in a row on the ground.
He was examining the corpse for the degree of decay.
Life and death are the most magnificent propositions in this world, and also the most irreversible laws.
Even though Matthew had handled them properly, the insides of these corpses were invariably decomposed.
Matthew poked open the edematous blister on the half-dragon man's forehead, and a stench filled the workshop.
His nose tightened, and he couldn't help shaking the bell next to him. Xinwak, who was lying outside the house sound asleep, didn't even open his eyes when he heard the sound, and just pulled the rope in his hand vigorously.
Hurrah!
With the efforts of the troll, the giant fan placed in the center of the work room immediately started to run violently.
The wind blows across the ground.
The air suddenly became fresher.
Only then did Matthew breathe freely—he had been dealing with the undead for a long time, but he didn’t have enough experience in making undead creatures. This fan was given to Matthew by Leila after visiting the handicraft workshop at the North-South Trading Station. bought.
"It seems that there must be a constant magic in the workplace to ensure fresh air and eliminate odors."
Corpses that have not been infused with negative energy do smell very strong.
Matthew could only work with the smell.
Among the five corpses, the most high-quality ones were of course the Half-Dragon Curse Swordsman and the Wild Boar Warrior, followed by the three Dragon Blood Warriors from the Dragon Worship Cult.
Among them, the half-dragon curse swordsman is the best.
Different from people’s stereotypes, the real Darth Vader is actually an undead unit that can carry, fight, and use magic.
The most suitable for making black warriors are the corpses of warlocks, priests and other professions.
They will have the opportunity to retain a bit of their spirituality and instinctive proficiency in magic.
The half-dragon has excellent physical fitness, and the Curse Swordsman is proficient in magic. The black warrior transformed on this basis is very likely to be the best.
Of course, because it was the first production and the craftsmanship was unfamiliar, Matthew didn't have too much expectation about whether his black warrior would be able to use magic.
In his opinion, as long as these five guys can graduate smoothly, they will obediently serve as meat shields for themselves.
"I can't always find a suitable meat shield!"
After checking the integrity of the corpses, Matthew summoned a team of zombies and carried the five corpses one by one to a corner of the workshop.
There, a row of clay vats one person tall were neatly placed.
Matthew went to the next room to fetch a ladder, put it against the wall, and climbed up.
Lifting off the layer of black flannel above the clay jar, a strong breath of negative energy rushed over, and the jar was filled with jet-black liquid.
This is the extract of negative energy spring water.
It is called "death liquid" by necromancers.
With the help of the zombies, Matthew carefully and slowly soaked the five corpses in the death solution.
They will be soaked in the mud tank for more than 10 days until every corner of the body is filled with negative energy.
This link is called "negative energy injection".
It is also a necessary step for making most intermediate undead creatures.
The immersion time of the black warrior is already considered short. The mummy requires at least 49 days of immersion, and the ghoul also needs to be soaked for more than 19 days.
The production and summoning of intermediate-level undead creatures is much more troublesome than that of elementary-level ones.
Negative energy injection is only the first link in making Darth Vader.
After ten days, I entered the second and third steps.
These two steps are unique to the Black Warrior, namely "oiling" and "reverse binding".
Anointing refers to meticulously smearing the body of the Black Warrior with an undead domain potion called "Dark God Oil".
This process must be carried out by the necromancer himself, and no one else can do it for him.
It is said that this is also the process of establishing a contract relationship between the Necromancer and the Black Warrior.
The most important thing in the oiling session is not the technique of the necromancer.
It is the quality of dark oil.
This thing directly determines the grade of the black warrior and the amount of dark magic that can be used in the future.
And "reverse binding" refers to awakening the residual spirituality in the corpse through the summoning of the dead, igniting its soul fire, making it turn back to the guest, and breed a new consciousness that belongs to the undead.
After successful anti-binding.
The production of the Black Warrior has been more than half successful.
The fourth step of "Ceremony of Sealing the Curse" and the fifth step of "Recognition of the Lord Ceremony" are both a matter of course, just need to spend some time to grind.
Matthew estimates that the production time of Black Warrior will be about one month to one and a half months.
The most critical item is the dark oil.
Matthew originally wanted to go to the market to buy it, but he couldn’t even buy much dark oil in White Rock City. It was available in Alliance Mall and Crucible House, but it was ridiculously expensive.
After finishing the decoration of the cemetery, Matthew was extremely shy.
So he can only do it himself.
The cooking method of the dark oil is not complicated, the difficulty lies in the acquisition of its materials.
Matthew made a list of materials and glanced at it, frowning slightly:
High-grade corpse oil, rose, clove, lily of the valley, jasmine, black locust, bone flower, ghoul liver...
Among them, four kinds of mortal petals are not difficult to obtain, and there are some near the black locust cemetery in the underworld.
Advanced corpse oil and ghoul liver are a little troublesome, but Matthew should also be able to get them.
But this Bone Blossom is something that only exists on the Negative Energy Plane!
"Why do all undead rituals need a ghoul's liver?"
"Shouldn't it be time to get a few ghouls to raise? This will also make it easier to collect materials locally in the future."
Matthew secretly complained in his heart.
He remembered that the special material of the liver of the ghoul was also used in the ritual of the night of the dead.
However, he only thought about it after all.
Ghouls are a difficult undead creature to drive, and few necromancers would keep them.
The reason is that the inherent "hunger obsession" of ghouls is too deadly.
They eat everything they can get their hands on uncontrollably.
Even if they are not hungry at all.
This defect is not unique to ghouls. In fact, mid-level undead creatures are recognized as the most difficult to serve—
Ghouls eat everything;
Vampires are bloodthirsty;
Banshee likes to tear things;
Only mummies are the most obedient, but their habit of secretly hoarding cloth occasionally makes the owner fall unexpectedly.
This defect is not unique to mid-level undead.
In fact, among low-level undead creatures, zombies also love to gnaw on people, skeletons have a great obsession with piecing together bones, and ghosts are even more difficult to restrain the urge to **** the energy of living people.
But their flaws are easily suppressed and easily satisfied.
As long as Matthew gives an order, the low-level undead can restrain their own defects.
Bathing in the negative energy fountain can quickly dispel all their obsessions—this is one of the reasons why Matthew built the cemetery in such a hurry.
Because the high-level undead are generally more intelligent, their flaws are not obvious.
Only mid-level undead are the most troublesome.
They each have their own obsessions and are not easy to satisfy. Sometimes necromancers have to sign more stringent contracts with them in order to better control them.
in this case.
The black warrior naturally became the most popular intermediate undead creature among necromancers.
Because the defect of the black warrior is "self-mutilation".
Usually alone in a corner to self-mutilate quietly, without disturbing anyone.
On the battlefield, you can charge with all your might.
May I ask who doesn't love?
Because of this, and the production process of the black warrior is also very hard, every black warrior is the soul of the necromancer.
At one point, Matthew had the evil idea of going to the vicinity of White Rock City in disguise to instigate a few black warriors and come back.
Fortunately, the "Temperance Field" stopped him in time.
At the moment, he looked at the production list of the dark oil, his brows gradually loosened.
"At this point, I can only ask Xiaobo for help."
After struggling for a while, Matthew still made such a decision.
It is not a bad thing to ask for help from the undead under him.
The premise is that after Xiaobo Gang finds enough materials, he has to give rewards of the same value or even more.
Thinking of Philoreus, who is now the overlord of the negative energy plane, is still rolling.
Matthew felt that he was being pressured.
Must try harder.
Otherwise, even the next Skeleton Dragon in hand would be incomparable.
After a while.
Matthew calls Philoreus through the undead pact.
To give room for small boils.
He even deliberately left the workshop and came to the cemetery.
A huge and familiar negative energy circle appeared in midair.
Next second.
The outline collapsed sharply, and the expected bone dragon did not appear, only a bare bone bump jumped out of the teleportation array and came to Matthew.
Matthew looked at it hesitantly.
It looks like a...
Pigeon?
"Hello, master, my name is Portotron, a bone pigeon. You can call me Bolong or bone pigeon."
"When you summoned the master, the master was fighting with another bone dragon king in Junwang Mountain. The master realized that there was not much danger on your side, so he let me come. I am the master's military advisor , It’s the same if you tell me anything.”
This bone bump speaks fluently and clearly, which makes Matthew a little bit interested.
"When did you become Xiao Bo's military adviser?"
Matthew asked.
Bone Pigeon tilted his head in doubt:
"Small boil?"
"Oh, you mean Master Philoreus? It's hard to say, the negative energy plane has no concept of time, and we undead are not good at timing. It may be yesterday, the day before yesterday, or a week ago. In short, I am now a loyal subject of Sir Philoreus. Although before following him, I was also a loyal subject of seven or eight quasi-undead kings."
Matthew quipped:
"Then your resume is quite rich."
Bone Pigeon said exaggeratedly:
"Don't tell me, I am really experienced. I have a unique understanding of the negative energy plane. Unfortunately, the quasi-kings I have served are all headstrong. I have told them many times that the Monarch Mountain is inauspicious, but they didn't listen, they insisted on occupying it and claiming to be the king, Lord Philoreus is the same, after occupying it for a long time, the enemy will attack the door, hey."
Seeing him sighing, Matthew couldn't help asking:
"Who is Xiaobo fighting with? What is the cause? Is it related to Junwang Mountain? Please tell me in detail."
Bone Pigeon suddenly came alive:
…
"The enemy is an old bone dragon hovering near Junwang Mountain. That old guy has always had ulterior motives for this mountain, but he is too timid to attack it.
A while ago, Sir Philoreus showed great power to take down the original owner of King King Mountain, and settled in openly, preparing to become the sixth undead king of Crater Mountain.
However, the other five undead kings are all dead, they are:
Demilicches, Dark Lords, Tomb Colossi, Pharaohs, and Banshee Queens.
The worst strength of the five guys is also a half-step legend. The demilich and the tomb colossus are true legendary characters. They control the authority of the silver land of the crater mountain, and have been secretly obstructing the birth of the sixth undead king.
No, Sir Philoreus had just emerged, and the other five undead kings secretly encouraged the old bone dragon to go to war with its master.
I know how courageous the old bone dragon is. He must not dare without the support of others.
My advice to Lord Philoreus is to retreat from Mount King, give up the broken mountain to the old bone dragon, and pretend to fly away.
See if the five kings can accommodate him? !
It's a pity that Master Philoreus won't listen!
I admit that he is a very hard-working Bone Dragon, but he doesn’t understand strategy at all. I have tried my best to translate to him in various languages, but he still can’t understand.
Finally, the two bone dragons fought in a confused way, and they are still fighting at the moment. It is estimated that the five kings will come to fish in troubled waters in a while.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Why don't you accept me, I don't think Master Philoreus will be able to enjoy himself for long.
I think you are a person who can listen to advice. I have a whole set of plans to help you become an undead king. As long as you believe in my plan, you are guaranteed to become the number one person on the ring mountain, and you will be on the fourth ring island just around the corner!
But before that, you have to go through a ritual to transform yourself into a lich.
After all, a living human cannot become an undead king. "
…
The more Matthew listened, the more frightened he became.
I didn't expect this little bone pigeon to have something.
He pondered and asked:
"What do the craters, the land of silver, and the fourth roundabout mean?"
Bone Pigeon answered casually:
"The crater refers to the area name of the negative energy plane where Sir Philoreus is now; the land of silver corresponds to the land of gold, which is a relatively barren land. Legend has it that there are lands of diamonds and dark gold on it. The land where the undead are all glowing with golden light! Of course this is just a legend.
As for the fourth roundabout, it refers to the composition of the entire negative energy plane. We all know that the negative energy plane is composed of nine roundabouts. The higher you go, the higher the level of negative energy, and the stronger the power of the undead.
The king of the ninth roundabout may be just a general at the eighth roundabout, but he can only be an elite character at the seventh and sixth roundabout.
The goal of all intelligent undead is to climb as high as possible.
We are now at the fifth roundabout.
Strange to say, according to legend, as long as six undead kings gather in the crater mountain area, they will have a chance to be guided by the ladder from the fourth ring island, but those five guys have been blocking the birth of the sixth king. How short-sighted!
Do you think there is some conspiracy behind this—
For example, the legend of the fifth roundabout is actually just a trap. Some forces tricked the kings into killing them as pigs.
The five kings knew this, so they have been secretly manipulating to prevent the birth of the sixth king?
Do you think my conjecture makes sense? "
The bone pigeon kept chirping.
Matthew marveled at his thinking ability, which is really rare among the undead.
He really thought about signing the bone pigeon, but considering that the younger brother who robbed the younger brother was somewhat disgraceful, he said:
"I am very interested in the stories of the negative energy plane. If you are willing to tell me these stories and your boss doesn't mind, then I can sign you a separate communication contract. Messenger between Lolius, used to deliver information, how about it?"
Without saying a word, Natou bowed:
"That must be possible! I'll tell Xiaobo later, I'm on the side of the master's master now, and I don't need to be angry with him every day! After all, the master is almost a fifth-level existence, the master's master, you must Is it a legend?"
Matthew pondered and said:
"It's not legendary, but it's almost there."
Bone Pigeon curiously said:
"What level is it?"
Matthew replied:
"Level 12."
Bone Pigeon was silent for a while:
"I think it's good to run errands for Sir Philoreus. Of course, you can also call me at any time, after all, your level is much higher than mine."
Matthew glanced at the data bar.
…
「Hint: You are chatting with Bone Pigeon (LV1)」
…
"Speaking of which, what is the master's master calling the master this time?"
Bone Pigeon asked.
Matthew told the other party about his lack of corpse oil, bone flowers, and the ghoul's liver.
Bone Pigeon was overjoyed when he heard this and said:
"These things can be seen everywhere, especially the liver of ghouls. I have long disliked the master's ghouls. I will go over to see if he is dead in a while. Even if he is not dead, I will Slander the master, kill him, and dedicate it to the master's master!"
As he spoke, he disappeared into thin air.
Hours later.
Matthew is making a tombstone.
The Bone Pigeon took the initiative to appear beside him, holding a taupe bag in its mouth, which was filled with the materials Matthew needed.
"The master said, next time you need to speak directly, let alone the ghoul's liver, even if it is his own liver, as long as you say a word, I will take it out for you!"
Bone Pigeon impassionedly imitated Xiao Bo’s words:
"The master also said that if he delays the affairs of the master's master because of his war, it will be a sin of death. Please rest assured that he will try his best to kill the old bone dragon as quickly as possible, even if It doesn't matter if the injury is serious, the next time you summon him, he will drag his body to join the battle!"
Matthew was amused.
Xiao Bo started to play this trick with himself again.
"Tell me, what support does he want?"
Matthew asked bluntly.
Bone Pigeon replied immediately:
"Yourself!"
"Master Philoreus said that there is a very strange skeleton mage in the old bone dragon camp that is very difficult to deal with. If you participate in the battle in person, you will definitely be able to catch it with your hands."
Matthew rolled his eyes.
He thought for a while:
"Letting me go is not completely non-negotiable, it's just..."
Bone Pigeon lifted the bag:
"The master said that there are things here that satisfy you. They are tributes paid in advance. After this battle is over, more tributes will be handed over to you. I hope you can accept them with a smile."
Matthew opened the bag and found that there was still a small earthen jar inside, and there was a puddle of golden liquid in the earthen jar.
…
「Fountain of Immortality: A sacred object of undead creatures. There are several ways to use it—
1. Mix it with water and take a small amount to make undead creatures get a lot of XP.
2. Mixed in the negative energy fountain, it can greatly improve the comprehensive attributes of the undead.
3. Make undead creature: The undead creature will be given the characteristics of resurrection.
4. Put the holy spring of undead in a bottle and carry it with you, you will have the opportunity to further understand the realm of the undead. "
…
"Okay, as long as the time does not conflict, you can call me in advance if you want to fight next time."
Matthew silently accepted the objective fact that he became Xiao Bo's summoner.
After sending away the skeleton pigeon.
He quickly took out the materials for making darkness, set up a large crucible in the workshop, added firewood to the bottom, and started the cooking of the dark oil.
afternoon.
The "soup base" of the holy oil is initially boiled, and it is about to enter the stage of collecting juice by the fire.
at this time.
There was a commotion at the entrance of the cemetery.
Matthew heard the sound and rushed over.
But found a middle-aged man was flirting with the zombies.
He quickly dismissed the zombie and asked strangely:
"Regar? What are you doing here?"
Rega pointed to the tear on the clothes, and said solemnly:
"Your zombie behaves badly, you must pay for the clothes!"
"Actually, if it wasn't for your face, I would have chopped them all down with one sword!"
said.
He stuffed an invitation letter into Matthew's hand:
"In the morning, I saw Aliena, but unfortunately we only chatted a few words, and she left with the excuse of feeling sick in her stomach, leaving only the minister of Deep Blue Harbor and Zeller there to exchange courtesy."
"It's not pleasant that she came rushing to come, but she was hiding from me overtly and secretly."
"I plan to hold a dance in the name of Alena in the posthouse at night, to touch her bottom, you must attend."
Matthew thought about it:
"Have you met Ms. Aliena? Do you have any special feelings?"
Rega recalled:
"She has changed a lot and is different from before, but I can't tell exactly where it is different. After all, I didn't see her a few times when I was young."
Matthew asked:
"If you can't tell the difference rationally, you might as well ask your intuition—your first reaction is that she is different?"
Rega thought for a while:
"She is more beautiful than before."
"It's an indescribable feeling. I don't know if you can understand it. The appearance is obviously the same, even a little older, but overall it has become more flavorful and temperamental."
Matthew: “…”
"I'm not interested in proms."
He pushed the invitation.
"You must go."
Rhaegar said solemnly:
"Alena is old and intelligent. It is difficult for us to quickly dig out useful information from her, but her adopted daughter Judy is different. She is still young and likes prom very much. She is interested in everything. You can continue the prom There is no chance to get close to her and find out from Judy the real purpose of their trip!"
"No no no, this is work!"
Matthew couldn't help but rolled his eyes:
"The work of the magic consultant also includes seducing girls?"
Rhaegar answered logically:
"Doesn't my job as a lord also include being a spell target for you?"
"It's a Rolling Stone thing, and you have to get used to it."
