MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 143 fairy garden
Chapter 143 Fairy Garden
…
"Who are you guys!?"
The barrel man staggered over, drawing his sword as he walked, his armor rattling.
Ekmond took half a step back, smiled and said to Matthew:
"Come on, it's not convenient for me to kill him."
"He is the puppet of the evil dragon. He has already lost his life. He is a living dead who is more pathetic than the undead. Killing him is a kind of relief for his soul."
Matthew has quick eyesight and quick hands, raising his hand is a "malicious transformation".
However, the white light hit the barrel man's neck.
The latter did not move at all!
"Dragon puppets can share some of the resistance of the giant dragon. Their magic resistance is often not low, and the transformation technique is not effective against them."
Ekmond prompted.
At this time, the barrel man has rushed out of the camp.
Matthew didn't hesitate, and retreated a few steps. With the support of "Battle Casting", he successfully summoned "Estriol's Claw"!
The giant claws covered with gray spots slammed towards the face of the "Dragon Puppet".
The latter raised his big sword high and slashed down head-on.
The great sword easily split Astrid's claw into two parts, but the giant claw's forward trend was not hindered, and the fracture healed automatically after bypassing the great sword.
Poof!
Estriol's claws pressed on the dragon puppet's forehead and upper body.
ZiZiZi!
Negative energy penetrated his armor and rubbed against his flesh.
Billowing white smoke rose, as if pouring a pot of boiling water in the snow.
Matthew opened his left hand, in a state of choking his neck in the void, and strode forward.
Accompanied by his movement, Estel's Claw also pushed the dragon puppet into the tent.
Boom!
Matthew pushed this light-weight enemy to the mountain wall behind the tent in one breath!
Tentacles stretched out from all around the giant claw, slapping the dragon puppet's body frantically.
The latter struggled violently.
"Still have the strength to resist?"
Matthew raised his right hand, threw a disintegration technique, and successfully dismantled the opponent's armor.
Then an ordinary pale hand patted the dragon puppet's chest.
Just click.
The dragon puppet's body seemed to be drained of all its strength.
He tilted his head, and the cloudy yellow liquid suddenly surged out from his facial features.
Crash!
He quickly collapsed at the foot of the mountain.
…
"Reminder: You killed the puppet warrior of the Red Dragon Kusules, and the Red Dragon Kusules' hatred towards you +1!
The pale hand killed and captured a high-quality soul (red dragon puppet/LV14), the effect is improving—
1. Slightly increased attack range, instant death determination, and blood-sucking effect
2. Duration + 1 day"
…
"Good job. Dragon puppets are living dead who lack life elements, so the instant death judgment is very easy to take effect on them. Your observation and reaction skills are stronger than I expected."
Ekmond praised without hesitation.
Matthew's cheeks were slightly hot.
He didn't think about it that much at all, he was simply used to the operation of "Estriol's Claw" and "Pale Hand".
However, what Ekmond said taught him a new knowledge——
"The living dead who lack life elements are more likely to trigger instant death judgments than ordinary lives."
Matthew immediately took this message to heart.
Then asked respectfully:
"How did you find out that he is a dragon puppet?"
Eckmond said solemnly:
"Observation."
“If you observe with your heart, you will find that many details in life hide amazing secrets.”
Matthew scratched his head with a dazed look on his face.
Ekmond couldn't help laughing:
"Lied to you."
"I use prophecy. Although my prophecy skills are not as good as that of Roderick who sells fakes, it is more than enough to inquire about news."
"Actually, as soon as I arrived on this land, I sensed the peculiar smell in the air—the smell of the dragon puppets is too strong. If you have studied them, you will be like me hundreds of miles away. You can smell it."
Matthew asked doubtfully:
"But even if you can confirm that there is a giant dragon on the side of Hongtu Mountain, how can you be sure that he is the new lord of Hongtu Mountain?"
Ekmond smiled slightly:
"Because I quickly remembered that the red dragon just paid the alliance a life-saving fee last month."
Matthew: “…”
Ekmond said unabashedly:
"Because I personally checked and accepted the fee, I am quite impressed with the red dragon named Cusulus.
I just used prophecy to reconnaissance, and found that Cusules murdered the youngest son of the lord of Red Earth Mountain more than a month ago, and then used Transfiguration to change into his appearance, and then assassinated the lord of Red Earth Mountain.
After that, he occupied Red Earth Mountain in the image of the lord's youngest son, and began to develop the army with great fanfare.
It didn't take long for Hongtu Mountain's army to threaten the surrounding territories, including your Rolling Stone Town. "
Matthew asked expectantly:
"So you want to shoot?"
Ekmond shook his head:
"With short hands, I can't even kill his dragon puppet, so how could I deal with him?"
"Taking a step back, the participation of the dragon is also part of this round of war. As long as Kusulus does not do anything that angers the sky, our attitude towards him is actually the same as that of a mortal lord."
"You don't have to worry too much. Kusules will not dare to attack Rolling Stone Town in the short term. My appearance here today is also a deterrent to him."
Matthew got it.
He even suspected that Ekmond had known for a long time that the new lord of Hongtu Mountain was a red dragon, and what he said just now was just his rhetoric!
The reason why this scheming mage took the initiative to lead the team here is to sell favors on the one hand, and to beat the red dragon Cusulus on the other hand.
Matthew recalled every sentence of Ekmond carefully, and realized that his statement was indeed flawed, and the other party probably did not deliberately lie.
A lot of things, it’s good to know each other well.
It was embarrassing for Matthew himself to break the point.
But soon.
Matthew noticed an unusual word in Ekmond's words:
"You just said "life insurance fee" instead of "protection fee"? "
Eckmond patiently explained:
"It's like this, the money was paid by the dragons to the legendary mage headed by the Seven Saints, in order to avoid being slaughtered for no reason."
Matthew said in amazement:
"Seven Sages like to slay dragons?"
Ekmond shook his head:
"There is only one person I like, and that is Ms. Suriel, one of the three current masters who reach the sky.
As the most outstanding disciple of Mr. Fei Capital, Ms. Suriel is very obsessed with dragon slaying.
There was a period of time, about a few decades ago, she was looking for dragons all over the world almost day and night.
Every time she finds one, she will take the initiative to go up and find fault with Cijia.
A start.
The dragons don't know why.
Many hot-tempered young giant dragons had **** with Suriel right away.
Then they became the dragon scales, dragon bones, and potions in Suriel's collection cabinet.
quickly.
Suriel's notoriety for slaying dragons spread in the world of dragons.
Because she has gone too far.
The remaining dragons of Aindor had to join forces—
Mainly red, white, black, blue and green dragons of five colors, they are the biggest injured in Suriel's dragon slaying operation.
The five-color dragons teamed up and fled to "Yongju Island".
That was a drop of tear that Baruch, the five-color dragon god, shed on the material world before ascending to the Tianlun Palace.
The island formed by the drop of tears formed its own world inside, and Baruch could cast divine power here.
The five-color dragons didn't like to live on Yongju Island, but Yongju Island became their safe haven during that time.
Not long after, Suriel broke into Yongju Island and fought with the five-color dragon **** Baruch.
The result of that fight was probably a tie.
Afterwards, the two sides conducted several negotiations.
As far as I know, Suriel got what she wanted. At the same time, she also promised Baruch that as long as his people pay her a life-saving fee every 20 years, she will not give up. Will take the initiative to trouble the five-color dragons active on the mainland.
Of course, we all know that except for the ancient dragon, the Seven Sages actually have the ability to slay dragons with ease.
So in the end, the life insurance fee was upgraded to seven.
The five-color dragons either fled to other planes to seek life because they could not bear the humiliation;
Either pay the life-saving fee obediently, so that at least the top management of the alliance will not take the initiative to trouble them. "
Speaking of which.
Ekmond said with emotion:
"Speaking of which, Ms. Suriel is quite reasonable. For a giant dragon like Cusulus who has not been active on the mainland for decades, she will not charge him a life-saving fee during the sleeping period."
Matthew said thoughtfully:
"So Kusules was awakened recently?"
Ekmond nodded:
"possible."
Matthew felt very emotional:
The Seven Saints are really powerful and terrifying!
It would be great if I also have that kind of power. If you have nothing to do, go to Yongju Island to grab the disciples and grandchildren of the Five-color Dragon God to play...
"Suriel is a student of Fei Capital, and Margaret is a student of Suriel, and I am learning combat magic from Margaret. Speaking of which, I am also a disciple of Fei Capital."
Matthew thought wildly.
"In short, you don't have to worry too much about Kusules in the near future. If you have thoughts about him, you can go to Suriel's students to talk about it. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
Ekmond said with a smile:
"It's inconvenient for us old guys to come forward, but if a war broke out between you on the grounds of territorial disputes, it will naturally not violate the agreement between the five-color dragon **** Baruch and Suriel."
"By the way, are you ready for the exploration of the outer plane?"
Matthew said in a deep voice:
"I have notified the Moonlight Goddess a few days in advance, but she didn't respond directly, but she should have acquiesced."
Ekmond thought for a while:
"Ms. Asiya is indeed one of the gods who are relatively friendly to humans. If she is willing to open the Moon Obscure Forest to us, then I will use a clone to preside over the exploration of the outer plane for you."
"These mages will also follow suit."
"However, it must be said in advance that all data, information, and knowledge gains of this kind of project must be shared with the alliance. As for the material gains, you will distribute them yourself."
Of course Matthew knows the rules.
He didn't dare to explore the outer planes, but this time with Ekmond leading the team, he couldn't wish for it.
As for the harvest, you can earn as much as you take.
Ekmond then made another point:
"Work is work, but the purpose of these mages is more than that. This morning, I thought you would collect a ticket near the scar of the dead or the umbrella, but you didn't."
"I'm not sure if you have another backing, or if you really don't want to take money, but if you do, it will make them very uncomfortable."
Matthew was dumbfounded.
He actually wanted to sell tickets to the Obscure Moon Forest.
But Ekmond said so.
Matthew also said straightforwardly:
"How much should I charge?"
Eckmond asked:
"Are you going to give them knowledge points for this emergency project?"
Matthew shook his head.
Before he didn't know the market, no wonder he was called "the benevolent Matthew".
You can’t do it all the time if you are taken advantage of.
"Then directly collect 22,000 gold coins from each person."
Ekmond earnestly suggested:
"This number is almost what they can come up with, and it won't be too distressing. If it is too little, you will be looked down upon by others, and if it is too much, it will cause people to complain."
"Among them 20,000, you accept it yourself, and the 2,000 part is handed over to me."
Matthew's expression is a little subtle.
Ekmond looked at him with a half-smile:
"After you hand over the part of 2000 to me, I will hand over the exact amount to Teacher Isabel."
"Don't forget where your status and wealth came from, kid."
Matthew suddenly felt ashamed of his dirty thoughts.
His first reaction was that Ekmond wanted to swallow this part of the profit...
"Sorry, Mr. Eckmond."
Matthew sincerely apologizes.
Ekmond is almost teaching himself the ways of the world in the league, which is actually very rare.
Matthew thought about it carefully.
All my resources and wealth come from the A1 title and the 10,000 knowledge points.
All of this was bestowed by Isabel.
It is obviously inappropriate not to honor her elderly after making money.
"Every time I make money in the future, I have to pay a part of it to her old man!"
"And a big boss like Ekmond also has to make good connections, including Margaret. It is easy to give gifts during the holidays, but it may come in handy in the future."
Matthew feels he has learned a lot.
But his mind seems to have been corrupted a little bit.
This made him feel a little mixed.
Soon after, the effect of the mass hold spell disappeared, and the soldiers rushed over in a noisy manner.
However, the two of them had followed Ekmond's arbitrary door and returned to the vicinity of the tree house.
The tree house is very lively at the moment.
Mages are very good at making fun of themselves.
Matthew and Ekmond took a look, and after making sure nothing happened, they also walked away.
after an hour.
Matthew returns to West Valley Farm.
"How did the interrogation go?"
Matthew asked.
Lorraine shrugged:
“He can answer questions faster than the little girl who threw himself into my arms can undress faster.”
Henry showed an excited smile:
"Master Matthew, I am sincerely loyal, please give me a chance to be loyal!"
Matthew stared into his eyes:
"Then do you know about the red dragon Kusules?"
Henry looked dazed.
"I don't know, my lord."
he replied.
Matthew looked at Zeller.
The latter's polygraph is still in effect.
Zeller shook his head lightly:
"He didn't lie."
Matthew pondered for a moment, picked up part of the conversation between Ekmond and himself and told everyone.
When Richard and Zeller heard that the lord of Hongtu Mountain turned out to be a red dragon, they immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Only Lorraine looked interested.
He patted his thigh excitedly:
"I knew that a big event was about to happen in Rolling Stone Town! It seems that it has something to do with that red dragon!"
Matthew looked at Lorraine:
"Can you find out the origin of the red dragon from the gossip? His name is Cusules. It is said that he has been sleeping for decades, but for some reason he recently appeared on the Red Earth Mountain."
Lorland narrowed his eyes slightly, and his ears shook quickly:
"Let me try."
Ten minutes later.
He retreated from that state a little tiredly.
"I probably know the origin of that red dragon."
Lorraine's tone was a little weird.
Matthew asks:
"Did someone wake him up?"
The dragon's deep sleep has always been a cycle of a hundred years. During this period, if it is not artificially awakened, the dragon will rarely take the initiative to interrupt the sleep.
Matthew suspects that there is another behind-the-scenes mastermind behind Kusules!
Sure enough, but I heard Lorraine answer:
"Someone woke it up."
Matthew asked eagerly:
"Who? Evil organization? Warlock?"
Lorland looked weird and authentic:
"It's you."
Matthew suddenly showed a surprised expression:
"it's me?"
"When did I wake up Kusullus?"
Lorland seemed to want to sort out the ins and outs of the matter by singing.
But was interrupted roughly by Matthew:
"Get to the point."
"Well, I will only give you the face of Matthew, and you can't stop me from singing next time."
Lorland looked a little unhappy, but explained patiently:
"I learned from the legends of the Underdark that Cusules is a red dragon who has just entered the youth stage. His strength has grown rapidly, and so has his size.
Before waking up, he found a very hidden place in the Underdark and hid himself for the last long sleep before puberty.
However, a sudden earthquake struck him, and the falling stones woke up the grumpy young red dragon from his sleep.
After waking up, it took a long time for the distraught Kusules to remove the stone from his body.
After that, he wreaked havoc in the dungeon and demolished a gathering place of ghosts.
Within a few days, Cusules, who was venting his anger, found an exit to the surface. With his extraordinary talent, he successfully integrated into human society by virtue of his transfiguration.
After learning that the lord of Red Earth Mountain was secretly recruiting troops, Kusules took decisive action.
Matthew also said the following things just now.
What needs to be highlighted is the earthquake—
It originated from the explosion of a demon altar thousands of miles away.
Although the explosion did not cause much damage to the underground space where the explosion site was located.
But by coincidence, it aroused the resonance of the bottom, and accidentally blew up the dungeon where Korlessus was.
And the instigators of the explosion—
I heard the description of the fungus tribe, and you are among them, Matthew! "
"You are the one who awakened the red dragon Kusulus!"
Matthew's eyes widened.
real or fake?
Is there such a coincidence?
Two months ago, he was in the dungeon in the rainforest, and together with Bobo, he blew up the evil **** altar of the Scourge.
The explosion at that time only caused a small-scale collapse, but unexpectedly triggered a butterfly effect thousands of miles away.
If it wasn't from Lorraine's mouth.
Matthew absolutely does not believe it!
"Then what about the Gaoshan Reservoir in Gao Yeling? Could it be because of the explosion that it collapsed?"
He was a little restless.
Lorraine shook his head:
"Then I don't know. It may be related, or it may not be. As far as I know, there seems to be a black dragon active over there. There is a high probability that you did not do it."
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
Zeller and Richard looked at each other with more serious expressions.
The former said:
"So there's a green dragon just north of us;
There is a red dragon in the south;
There seems to be a black dragon in the southwest?
Only the white and blue dragons are needed to gather all the five-color dragons.
I just want to know if Year of the Dragon is targeting Rolling Stone Town? "
Nobody could answer his question.
Several people discussed for a while.
Decided to temporarily detain Henry at the South Trading Station.
Zeller intends to use Henry to continue negotiating with Hongtushan. Even if he knows that the other party is a red dragon, he still has to do superficial work.
Rolling Stone Town is not yet ready to deal with a giant dragon with its own strength. Before that, it is better to ensure the stability of the situation.
Night.
Maxiu led the mages back to the oak forest, and knocked on the gate of the Moon Obscure Forest under the moonlight.
Asiya really acquiesced in her actions.
After that, everything went smoothly.
There is Ekmond's clone in charge of hosting.
Matthew just needs to sit back and enjoy the benefits.
He stayed in the laboratory of Antu Empire for a while, and after A Bing and Peggy were in charge of monitoring the scene, he slipped out quietly.
Late at night in the oak forest.
There was silence.
Matthew came under a tall and holy oak tree, and gently called out the name of the fairy princess Lulu.
A long while.
Bright light flashed.
The long-lost beautiful face came into Matthew's eyes.
"Good evening, Matthew."
Lulu still looks very shy, her voice is soft and waxy.
"Good evening, Your Royal Highness."
Matthew said kindly:
"I want to summon the Treant Guardian and perform a ritual called "Enemy of the Woods". "
When the scale of the oak forest reaches a certain level, the tree elf guard can be summoned by the oak elf.
These guards can be used as the first barrier of the oak forest.
The Enemy of the Woods ritual is a tracking ritual.
It can be used to find nearby hidden enemies.
Matthew's intention is obvious.
He wants to find the group of Blighters and kill them all!
Lulu showed a embarrassed expression when she heard the words:
"I have just been promoted to Fairy Princess, and I haven't had time to go to the flower garden to get my crown and scepter. It may be barely enough to summon the dryad guards, but the ritual of the enemy of the forest is a bit too high-end for me."
said.
She looked at Matthew with some hope:
"Can you accompany me to the Fairy Garden?" "
"That is the interlayer between the Arcane Wilderness and the main material world. There are many fairies living in it. Some of them are very bullying. I can't hide every time."
"If it was Matthew, he wouldn't let me be bullied, right?"
