MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 146 Oakkeeper and Cloud Lodge
Chapter 146 The Oak Guard and the Cloud Lodge
…
In the oak forest, the ancient power is being revived.
Calling the Forest Guardian is a long and difficult task. The inherent limitations of plant species make it difficult for them to be as active as animals.
Matthew Woods is young.
Under natural circumstances, it would take at least hundreds of years for this forest to give birth to the Oak Guard.
But the existence of the Fairy Princess can break this restriction.
Because the spell that Lulu chanted at this time, the power it mobilized did not come from the flower garden, but from an inner plane—
"Myriad Worlds of Trees".
The sea of trees is the origin of all plants in the multiverse.
The inner plane is a concept corresponding to the outer plane.
Compared to the outer plane exposed in the astral world, the inner plane is undoubtedly more hidden.
Druids regard entering the Sea of Trees as the highest honor and the goal of their lifelong struggle.
And in the myths and legends of the Age of Enlightenment.
Even the gods, few are qualified to visit the sea of trees.
Only two of them could do this, one of them became the God of Nature, and the other was the God of Travelers.
Of course they are all imprisoned in Tianlun Palace now.
The Sea of Trees is also the destination of plants from all worlds.
In the cognition of druids.
The final destination of every fallen leaf is the sea of trees. They just rotted on the surface in the material world. As the "soul" of plants, they landed in the sea of trees under the call of mysterious power.
all in all.
The sea of trees is undoubtedly sacred and mysterious to plants.
Spells that can mobilize the power of the sea of trees are extremely rare. Only the fairy princess reincarnated from the sea of trees has such power.
Matthew has long known that Lulu is from the sea of trees.
Because it is difficult to produce oak elves on their own with the scale of the oak forest, he has not even named the pre-race of elves, "Light Demon".
So the only source of this group of outsiders can only be the Sea of Trees.
This is also the reason why Matthew decisively asked Lulu to summon the Oak Guard.
Lulu did not disappoint Matthew.
Under the power of the sea of trees, after the chanting, four oak trees in the woods awakened and became the guardians of the oak trees!
This ratio is ridiculously high.
What made Matthew even more excited was that, with the changes of the oak trees, a fleeting gap in time and space appeared in front of them.
A burly figure slowly walked out from inside.
He bowed slightly to Lulu:
"Willing to work for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
That's a male centaur!
…
「Reminder: The centaur tree shepherd Obest (LV18) was inspired by the fairy princess Lulu. He resolutely left the sea of trees and came here to follow her!」
…
Obest has a muscular upper body.
His beard and hair are thick, and his hair and beard are connected together, revealing only his brown-red face.
His weapon is a spear, and he also has a certain amount of natural magic.
As a tree herder.
Obest has a natural instinct for the maintenance of the forest. He patrols the forest every day, carefully inspecting and caring for each tree.
The characteristics of the tree shepherd determine that he can gain XP during the growth of the forest.
The larger the size of the forest.
The more benefits he can get.
It can be said that as long as he stays here, his achievements in this life will be bound to this oak forest.
"I am not the owner of this forest."
Lulu is still a little shy when meeting strangers.
She quickly flew behind Matthew, who also returned to human form at this time.
"Matthew is."
Lulu said.
Obest looked at Matthew solemnly:
"Necromancer?"
Matthew spread out his right hand, taking advantage of the opportunity to activate the domain of the undead.
Obest's face suddenly revealed a thick color of disgust.
But Matthew stretched out his left hand almost simultaneously, and also opened the oak tree field.
The disgust on the centaur's face immediately turned into surprise!
"How can it be?"
"Your Excellency, you actually hold both the "Undead" and the "Oak Tree" at the same time? "
"Aren't you afraid of repeating the mistakes of the second son of death?"
Obest said in surprise.
Matthew's heart moved, and he asked:
"What is the mistake of the second son of death?"
Obest said in a deep voice:
"McBalon, the second son of the God of Death, tried to combine death with the natural realm, and in the end almost drove himself crazy. He almost fell because of this incident!"
"Myriad Realms Sea of Trees also suffered a certain amount of damage because of that incident. Near the scar left by McBaron, there are still many elves working day and night, and they are working hard to repair the scar."
Matthew's heart sank when he heard this.
But he was not surprised by this result. It is so easy to forcibly combine two large fields.
It is normal that the predecessors could not walk this road, and if others can't do it, it doesn't mean he can't do it either!
Matthew has sufficient confidence in himself.
Then he said:
"I don't have a noble and prominent background like the second son of the **** of death, and I don't have the ambition to combine the two fields into one. I follow the path of balance and transformation."
"I am indeed a necromancer, but every oak tree here is planted by myself."
"If you mind my identity, it is not impossible to leave now, but I hope you can stay."
Obest had no expression on his face.
He thought for half a minute, and finally said:
"I choose to stay."
"Because I believe in Her Royal Highness's choice."
"But if I find that this place is different from what I expected, I may leave at any time."
said.
The centaur put down the spear in his hand, knelt on his forelegs, and touched his forehead to the ground.
…
「Reminder: You got a follower "Centaur Tree Shepherd Obest"!
伱 racial friendliness +1 (centaur);
Obest will be resident in the oak forest, you need to prepare a tall tree house for him as a residence.
Your oak forest has gained the trait: Critter Friends.
Friends of Small Animals: Centaurs are naturally popular with all small animals. Attracted by Obest, there will be a certain number of small animals in your oak forest in the future. "
…
Obest's request is easy to meet.
Without Lulu and Matthew doing anything, he used spells to start building the tree house himself.
While Obest was working.
The four awakened oak guards also came over.
Matthew noticed.
One of them is actually a man-eating tree!
Oak tree guards are the existence of the oak tree after awakening humanoid spirits. They have the appearance of tree people, but they are far more powerful than ordinary tree people.
Matthew took a look.
Ordinary oak tree guards have a total of six abilities.
…
「Catapult: As long as you provide the Oak Guard with rocks of the right size, they are born trebuchets.
Effective range: 150m~180m;
Launch frequency: every 30 seconds;”
「Stamped Sprint: The Oak Guard can take root in place, after charging for a period of time, it will rush towards the enemy at several times the normal speed.
The longer the charging time, the faster the speed, the fastest is 3 times the normal speed. "
「Malicious Binding: Oak Guardian can summon a large number of vines to entangle the enemy. This ability is regarded as "natural casting", and the spell effect is equivalent to the fourth-order group vines.
Each Oak Guard can be bound 2 times per day. "
"Body crushing: Oak Guard can double his own weight, and when fighting the enemy in close quarters, he can use his weight advantage to crush the enemy.
The current average weight of Oak Guards: 1 ton.
Using this ability can reach a maximum of: 2 tons. "
「Sighing tree wall: Two or more oak tree guards can link their bodies into a tree wall.
Tree Wall has high natural armor and at least 10% damage reduction effect.
The more oak guards that make up the sighing tree wall, the wider the range of the tree wall, and the more significant the reduction effect.”
「Light Fairy Lair: Each Oak Guard has at least one "Light Fairy" lair, and there will be 10~50 Light Fairy active in each lair.
The fairies of light can sow seeds for plants, spawn them, and clean up pests.
You can also do some simple construction work, such as building tree houses and digging wells. "
…
A fairly comprehensive set of abilities.
It can be long-range, close-combat, and defensive, and there is a construction team living on it all the year round—
It was a kind of fine creature called "Fairy of Light".
Their appearance is a ball of fluffy light, it feels like a sponge to the touch, and they always like to move in groups.
Light demons lack individual intelligence and can only accept orders collectively.
They are not only the cheapest forest workers, but also the "past life" of all fey creatures.
All the big goblins, goblins, wood elves, night elves in this world, including other higher fey creatures.
They are all reincarnated from the light demon.
Among the elves, there is such a legend.
After a light demon ends its long and hard-working life, its consciousness will be promoted to the reincarnation pool in the tree sea, waiting in line for reincarnation.
Depending on how hard the light demon worked during his lifetime, they will receive different evaluations and rewards.
The lazy light demon can only transform into a goblin;
The industrious light demon can become a great goblin or a wood elf;
Only the most diligent light demon can reincarnate into high-level fine creatures such as night elves or sea elves after a lifetime of hard work;
And the laziest being among the Light Demons will reincarnate as drow.
This legend has been widely circulated, and even Matthew has heard of it a little.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this legend that most fairies of light work desperately.
They are accumulating blessings for the next life.
…
The three common oak tree guards are all LV14.
And the guard level of the big tree transformed from the man-eating tree is as high as LV16!
Obviously.
In the process of absorbing the power of the tree sea.
He mutated.
The man-eating tree guard not only has the power of an ordinary guard, but also has two additional abilities.
…
「Bloodthirsty frenzy: After eating a blood meal of sufficient quality, the man-eating tree guard's agility +1, strength +1, and get a "fanatic aura".
Fanatic Aura: Allies within the aura increase their attack speed by 5%.
Duration: 60 minutes;
Cooling time: 24 hours」
「Wall of Predators: The man-eating tree disguises itself as a tree wall, and can blend in the wall of the sighing tree, waiting for an opportunity to devour the enemy.」
…
In addition, Matthew also found that the man-eating tree guards can move laterally much faster than the oak guards.
His appearance has greatly enriched the defensive tactics of the Oak Guard.
Can also make up for the slow traverse speed of the Oak Guard.
The only thing Matthew needs a headache is.
He has to figure out a way to teach this guy not to eat people.
As the master of the oak forest, the oak guards naturally obey Matthew directly, but they are actually similar to the undead when they were just born, and they can only execute some of the simplest orders.
Deep communication is impossible.
Matthew and the man-eating tree guards had several rounds of friendly interactions.
finally.
Matthew still decided to hang a sign on the opponent—
「I am a man-eating tree, I will be eaten if I approach it!」
"In the future, we have to figure out his appetite and feed him blood food regularly."
Matthew thought so.
After exchanging feelings with the oak guards.
Matthew asked Lulu:
"Can you turn me into a goblin anytime?"
Lulu says:
"Only in this oak forest, and the transformation will not last longer than six hours."
"My transfiguration is actually just injecting part of my own power into you. If you want to exert the true effect of the scepter and crown, you must become a real fairy."
She obviously also saw Matthew's thoughts.
Matthew shook his head regretfully.
The attributes of the two-piece princess set are really delicious, but unfortunately they can only be used in the fairy form.
None of Lulu's Transfiguration can fully activate its power.
Looks like the only way to do it is to master the true polymorph technique to become a goblin!
"In fact, even if you become a fairy, because you don't have many natural spells, they don't have much effect."
"On the contrary, there is a saying about the soul form. I have the characteristic of "soul projection", but it is too dangerous. "
Matthew carefully put away the two-piece princess suit that he got for nothing.
Then the two began to perform the "Enemy of the Woods" ceremony.
The purpose of this ceremony is to communicate the will of nature and lock the enemy who has the greatest potential threat to this forest.
The ceremony itself is not complicated, but it will consume a lot of physical strength of the host.
Matthew worried that Lulu would not be able to hold on, but Lulu stubbornly said that she could.
At the moment, Lulu is in charge and Matthew is in charge.
They made a circle on the ground with leaves.
Matthew stands in the center of the circle.
Lulu began to communicate with the will of nature.
Under the moonlight.
The diadem on her brow shone brightly.
A crisp croon sounded.
Matthew took advantage of the opportunity to activate the oak tree field to relieve Lulu's burden.
Soon after.
A powerful magic power poured into Matthew's eyes.
His eyes seemed to be covered by countless clouds.
A voice rang in his ear.
"Are you tracking enemies in the woods?"
Matthew answered loudly:
"yes!"
"To the southwest, one hundred and twenty kilometers, not on the ground, but in the clouds."
The voice said in a serious manner.
In an instant.
The clouds in front of Matthew's eyes quickly dispersed.
He saw a climbing vine hanging down from the sky alone. He didn't know where it went from below, and where it came from above.
A raised platform can be seen looming on the climbing vines.
There are some small houses on the platform.
Several figures are moving around the door.
Matthew couldn't see clearly.
When he tried to wipe his eyes to see more clearly, all the visions were quickly disillusioned.
In his mind, there was an extra vague coordinate.
There is no specific orientation prompt for this coordinate.
But no matter where Matthew is.
He could perceive the relative direction of the scene just now and himself.
"Just to the northwest!"
"That's the direction of Strom City!"
…
「Hint: You found the temporary camp of the Wither Cult, the Cloud Lodge!
House in the Cloud: The hunting lodge built by the cloud elves is suspected to have been abandoned and has become a gathering place for the Blight. "
…
Good guy.
It is actually in the sky.
No wonder Eli's dog nose didn't respond.
Matthew guessed that the white cat was not the Blighter, and the real Blighter was hiding far away. They should have communicated over a long distance in some way.
It's not easy.
But considering that there is help from the Midnight God behind the Scourge.
It is not uncommon for the Wither Sect to have a true **** as foreign aid.
Matthew stared at the northwest direction, and did not act rashly.
This is an excellent opportunity to wipe out the Blight.
He must be fully prepared.
Then go all out.
Be sure to wipe out all the flies that miss their own oak forest!
…
Early the next morning.
Matthew went to the Lord's Mansion to discuss with Rhaegar and Zeller about destroying the Wither Cult.
But as soon as he entered the door, he met Lorraine.
The latter looked exhausted.
As soon as he saw Matthew, he said a little listlessly:
"Matthew, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Matthew said in surprise:
"Are you leaving now? Don't stay for a few more days? Wait, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to take Eli out to see the world?"
Lorraine sighed:
"I was about to tell you that it was because of Eli's incident that I was thinking of leaving early—
I was going to leave. You have invited Ekmond out of the Floating City in the Extreme North. What else can happen in Rolling Stone Town?
I plan to go to Gaoyeling to try my luck, maybe I can catch one or two big news. "
Matthew asked curiously:
"What happened to Eli?"
Roland said:
"I took him to Sweetheart Tavern yesterday, although Eli pushed and procrastinated, I managed to convince him.
At the same time, in order to stimulate the undercover agents of the Wither Order, I also asked Eli to take the white cat with him when he went to the brothel. "
Matthew frowned:
"Isn't that going a little too far?"
Lorraine squinted at him:
"As far as I know, you seem to do this kind of thing a lot."
Matthew coughed lightly, and changed the subject at the right time:
"Then what happened later? Did he not want to go in at all?"
Lorland said helplessly:
"That's right, but I said it anyway. With my eloquence and charm, he was finally persuaded by me and successfully walked into the room of that woman named Lily."
Matthew asked again:
"Who is Lily?"
Roland said:
"The head of the Sweetheart Tavern, you don't need to care who she is, you just need to know that she is doing a good job. Unless you also want to arrange it, then I can tell you her physical characteristics and her usual working hours."
Matthew shook his head:
"and after?"
Lorraine says:
"I tricked Eli into Lily's room, along with the white cat.
At first there was no movement inside, but not long after, Lily giggled.
I thought it was done, so I got away and had some fun by myself.
Who knew an hour later, when I went back outside Lily's room, I heard the laughter inside!
I realized something was wrong, and immediately pushed the door open, and guess what I saw—
I saw two kittens, one white and one black, bouncing back and forth on Lily's bed.
They were having a great time fighting.
And Lily is playing with the cat, she looks so happy!
So I have no problem with druid's judgment, they just play wild.
There is a big beauty who strips naked next to him, and he has to play with the little female cat all night. Isn't this a special hobby?
Afterwards, Lily told me that she had professional ethics and was going to seduce Eli.
But she can't be in heat with a kitten, she can't! ! "
Speaking of which.
Lorland sighed deeply:
"I admit I'm bragging, Matthew.
I've never met a guy like Eli.
I thought he was just young and passionate, but I didn't expect that he was really mentally ill.
I can't change his mind without hurting him.
He doesn't seem to be interested in anyone of the opposite **** except that little white cat.
I'm afraid you'll have to tell him the truth sooner or he'll get deeper and deeper.
In the end, it was himself who hurt. "
At this time, Rhaegar in pajamas walked over.
He was very interested in what the two of them were talking about, so he leaned over and asked:
"Who are you talking about?"
"Some teenage boy who's troubled by love?"
"Talk to me, no one knows how to deal with these boys better than I do."
