MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 157 I heard you made a lot of money? (seeking a monthly ticket)
Chapter 157 I heard you made a lot of money? (seeking a monthly ticket)
…
Facing Ekmond's curious eyes, Matthew had no choice but to say:
"Something went wrong, there was a tree, and it mutated."
He can't say that he strengthened an ordinary oak tree into a descendant of the world tree.
It's not magic.
Ekmond's expression is very calm:
"It is understandable that plant variation is very common in nature. I have studied this subject. Most plants will more or less mutate when encountering magic, but it is much rarer to become so big like you gone."
After finishing speaking, he whispered in Matthew's ear:
"Don't let Teacher Isabel know, she once wanted a seed of the World Tree, but the Sea of Ten Thousand Realms rejected her. Since then, she hasn't given the Druid Order a good look."
Matthew knew that he couldn't hide his nonsense from the big guy Ekmond, so he could only show an embarrassed smile.
The mages on the magic carpet cannot hear their conversations.
I only saw Ekmond and Matthew making intimate gestures, whispering to each other, and the eyes of each of them looking at Matthew became more respectful.
Ekmond was very understanding, he didn't continue to ask, but handed two bulging bags to Matthew.
"This is the end of the project of the Obscure Moon Forest. I took them to conduct a detailed exploration of the outer space you discovered, and indeed obtained some materials and information. They are placed in the second bag, and you can check them at any time. In addition, I will submit a copy of the data to the alliance's record library, and you can compare it if you have any questions. Frankly speaking, these things are of little value. The Antu Empire's research on psychic power is very backward, far inferior to Ji Sa people, there are some psionic gadgets in the laboratory, the most valuable is a psionic generator set, just look back and see for yourself.
But my suggestion is that it is best not to put too much energy into psionics, that is not an area that a mage should be obsessed with. "
Matthew nodded again and again.
Recently, he also feels that his energy and time are not enough. This has something to do with his greedy thinking of wanting to learn everything he sees.
If this continues, sooner or later he will face the dilemma of chewing too much.
It's time to start reducing the burden on yourself.
Psychic energy was originally Tu Yile's toy.
If you really have to fight, you have to rely on the undead under your hands.
See Matthew's sincere attitude.
Ekmond smiled again and said:
"As for the first bag, it contains a list of 19 people and 380,000 gold coins. This should be a lot of money for you. In the alliance, there are many ways to spend money Yes, you have to be careful of consumption traps, especially be wary of Roderick’s fake factory, not every powerful spell item is a must-buy, you still have to choose something that suits you.”
Matthew hurriedly said:
"I'm not going to waste my money."
Eckmond smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous, I'm not stopping you from spending money. In fact, learning how to spend money correctly is also one of the required courses for mages. Let's make a bet. I think you will spend the money within three days. Do you think you can last longer?"
Matthew said in amazement:
"This is absolutely impossible, I have never spent money lavishly."
Ekmond said confidently:
"Then how about we bet a symbolic gold coin?"
Matthew immediately responded:
"sure."
"Then, I'll go first."
Ekmond waved at Matthew: "I wish you a happy shopping in advance!"
As he spoke, he returned to the magic carpet and flew towards the east with the mages with different expressions.
Matthew watched them leave.
After a while.
A hint of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes:
"Why don't they go to the Crucible House? Isn't teleportation faster?"
But soon his attention was attracted by the huge sum of 380,000 in the first bag.
Matthew held the bag tightly, his heart pounding. With this money, plus more than 100,000 income from this adventure.
His personal net worth went straight to half a million gold coins!
Where has he, who has been struggling on the poverty line for a long time, seen such a battle?
Matthew was so happy that he almost fainted.
"500,000 gold coins, if all of them are used to buy oak seeds, how many trees can be planted!"
He tried his best to imagine, but he couldn't get the whole picture of the forest in his mind.
"You must not spend all of this money. You must save part of it first, at least for a few years. If you have nothing to do, you will be happy even counting gold coins, and by the way, you can also make Peggy happy together."
Matthew thought about it for a while, and put the things away firmly.
As for the bet with Ekmond.
He didn't care at all.
I have always been a temperate person, spent 380,000 gold coins in three days?
impossible.
…
"Hint: The descendants of the World Tree appeared out of thin air on the east side of Rolling Stone Town, and the mages from the Seven Saints Alliance witnessed Bogard's growth with their own eyes.
After dawn, the surrounding residents will also be attracted by the natural wonder of Burgard.
The legend of Burgard would quickly spread in the form of gossip or written reports.
Your faction reputation +1 (Seven Saints Alliance).
Bogarde's regional reputation +1 (Southern Land). "
…
Come back to God.
Matthew also knew that Burgard's sudden birth could not be concealed.
Early tomorrow morning, he might have to discuss with Rhaegar and the others how to inform the residents of Rolling Stone Town about Bogard's origin, so as to avoid potential panic.
As soon as the gold is issued.
Matthew is naturally impossible to stop.
Due to the limitation that a plant can only be strengthened ten times a year.
Matthew is aiming at Burgard to strengthen the Ninth Company!
…
「Reminder: As a descendant of World Tree, Bogard needs more strengthening power to obtain keywords.
The enhancement is successful, and your Oak Burgard has obtained the following three keywords.
Sunshine sharing (blue): When the sun shines on Bogard's canopy, only a small part of it stays in Bogard's body.
The remaining sunlight will directly penetrate the green leaves and reach the space under the canopy.
Bogarde can freely adjust the proportion of sunlight distribution.
When your own needs are met.
He can even make the sun shine 100% under the original shade.
He is happy to share the gift of the sun with other trees.
The power of the sea of trees (purple): Bogard further communicates with the sea of trees in the world, and he will directly absorb part of the elements and nutrients from the sea of trees. This move will greatly reduce the pressure on this land to support Bogard.
at the same time.
The power of the sea of trees emanating from Bogard will promote the growth of other plants.
Your forests will have a greater chance of receiving blessings from the Sea of Trees.
Son of Nature (gray): Bogarde is the symbol of the World Tree in the south. As his reputation gradually spreads, he may attract some nature lovers to come for pilgrimage, but he encounters the Blighter, the Warlock, the Son of the Demon, and the Abyss. The likelihood of attacks by evil creatures such as creatures, outer spirits, and remnants of the Twilight Creation will also be greatly increased. "
…
"Children of Nature" is actually gray.
It can be seen that a false name is useless, and in most cases it is a burden.
But Matthew didn't care much.
He often deals with Blighter Warlocks and so on, so it doesn’t matter if there are more, anyway, Necromancers occasionally lack materials.
"Sunshine Sharing" and "Power of the Sea of Trees" are quite practical.
Matthew was still worried about whether the appearance of Burgard would encroach on the development space of other oak trees.
Now, this problem is perfectly solved.
Except for the few trees closest to Burgard, which had to be transplanted due to the crush of its huge trunk, the other trees were hardly affected.
In general.
The appearance of Burgard is definitely a good thing in the long run.
Among other things, just one "Sea of Trees Link" can greatly improve the defense capability of the oak forest.
As for the challenges that may be faced in the short term.
Matthew also has the confidence to deal with it.
"It is necessary to make up a reasonable story to dispel the residents' doubts about Burgard, and at the same time, it is best not to have too many curious people come to visit."
Matthew scratched his head.
He has not forgotten that directly below Bogard is his cemetery.
On the ground is the vibrant nature.
The underground is a well-ordered negative energy plane.
My idea has initially reached reality.
This made Matthew both satisfied and worried.
Worrying is—
From the moment Bogard appeared, he felt the change in the energy field.
The previous balance of elements in the earth was broken.
The descendants of the World Tree and the ritual field of the cemetery form a vague tendency to conflict.
This tendency is not obvious yet.
But with the passage of time, the two fields will definitely collide with sparks.
That's when you really test yourself!
"I have to find a way to reconcile the two fields. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to get started in the field of balance. Do I have to use "mediation" as the main element? "
Looking at the vigorously growing descendants of the world tree.
I felt the cheerful negative energy flowing in the cemetery again.
Matthew only felt that the burden on his shoulders became heavier.
He still has a lot of work to do.
The most important of them all.
It is necessary to enter the "equilibrium" field as soon as possible!
And just as Matthew was planning for the future.
A tall and ghostly figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Matthew asked in surprise:
"Peggy? What are you doing?"
The tauren skeleton said nervously:
"I have business with you, Matthew."
"Go to the cemetery to talk, I'm afraid there are ears across the trees here."
Matthew followed her to the cemetery.
He sealed off the ceremony field as the owner of the cemetery, and then asked Peggy a little funny:
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Peggy said seriously:
"The white-robed mage who was talking to you just now, he is very wrong!"
Matthew froze for a moment:
"You mean Eckmonde?"
Peggy nodded:
"The night before yesterday, when I was investigating the customs of Rolling Stone Town, I happened to find that white robe sneaking out of Ronan's house!"
"There is no one in Ronan's house, you know that, right?"
"He must have gone to steal something!"
"Don't look at him smiling at you, I don't think he is a good person!"
Matthew frowned.
Ronan's house has indeed been inhabited for a long time.
Since he was imprisoned in the astral realm, only Matthew was left as a resident in the entire mage district.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Ekmond to go to Ronan's house for the purpose of visiting.
If what Peggy sees is true.
Things are a bit difficult to say.
At the moment, Matthew's expression changed rapidly for several rounds, and the next moment he returned to normal, and then smiled and said to Peggy:
"If that white-robed mage came to give us money, is he a good guy or a bad guy?"
Peggy crossed her arms, as if I would not accept bribes:
"That depends on how much money he sent."
Matthew smiled and said:
"He gave me ten thousand gold coins."
"Didn't you tell me last time that you want to know how much 10,000 gold coins are? I can satisfy you now."
"About what you just said, just forget it."
said.
He took out ten thousand gold coins from the small bag and scattered them on the ground.
See this scene.
Peggy's soul fire is about to fly out of the skull!
She threw herself on the ground like crazy, while counting the money, she shouted happily:
"I take back what I just said, that white-robed mage is a very good man!"
"Matthew, you must thank him!"
"Is he your boss in the alliance? You have to **** him! Well, the taste of gold coins is delicious..."
See Peggy rolling in the pile of gold coins with unbearable joy.
There was also a gratified smile on Matthew's face.
can be very fast.
The smile disappeared.
Although Matthew hopes that Peggy will forget about Eckmond.
But he couldn't forget it himself.
He thought about it.
It was found that a series of behaviors of Ekmond were indeed suspicious—
First, when they first met, he wanted to give himself a silver bell, the reason being to monitor Isabel's situation.
But from Matthew's point of view, this bell is completely superfluous.
With Eckmond's wisdom, it is impossible not to see this.
Secondly, as the mage leader, Ekmond should have a lot of things. This time he will come to Rolling Stone Town to support himself, which is an incredible thing in itself.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Ekmond to bother so much whether it is the scar of the dead or the project of the outer plane.
This is also impossible to be the cause of Isabel.
Others may think that Matthew A1 has a bright future because of his title and relationship with Isabel.
But who is Eckmonde?
He is the eighth man in the league!
It is reasonable for him to release appropriate kindness to Matthew, but the release to the present level is somewhat inconsistent with his status.
Third, the confrontation between Matthew and the red dragon Kusules seemed to be led by Ekmond.
Although what happened here can be rounded off with Ekmond's words.
But Matthew always felt that something was wrong.
"If the purpose of his coming to Rolling Stone Town was to sneak into Ronan's house, then it would make sense."
"Come here to support me is just a cover."
Matthew's head started to hurt.
He didn't forget.
There is also a man in the league who is suspected of being the man behind Blinken's target.
If that person is Eckmonde...
Matthew was a little afraid to think about it.
As he got a deeper understanding of the alliance, he felt that the Seven Saints were not very clean.
Ekmond has no reason to be an exception.
Legendary mages are very busy, and there must be a deeper logic behind each of their actions.
"Perhaps Ekmond's love of inquiring gossip is just a personality created by himself."
"The real purpose is to collect intelligence, so as to achieve some ulterior purposes."
Once you accept the setting that Ekmond is behind the scenes.
Matthew found that many things made sense.
This guess made him nervous.
But soon.
Matthew let out a long breath:
"Even if Blinken is Ekmond's black glove, even if Ekmond came here this time to steal something from Ronan, I don't have any irreconcilable conflicts with him."
"He still gave me a lot of positive suggestions and suggestions, and there is a high probability that the goodwill he released is not all false."
"This shows that I still have a certain use value for him."
It is useful.
will survive.
can win the development space.
Besides, Blinken is still alive now, and he is still favored by Isabel. Even if Ekmond wants to kill all the people who know about him, it is not his turn yet.
"If you really want to do it, you can't do anything, it's a high-ranking legend..."
Matthew rubbed his sore temple with a wry smile.
not far away.
Zombies line up to drink spring water in an orderly manner.
The skeletons are walking forward under the leadership of A Bing, but their crotch is obviously twisted too much.
Peggy is still rolling in the gold coins.
The cemetery was quiet and peaceful.
Matthew missed the days when Archmage Ronan was still there like never before.
…
Oak Grove North.
The centaur Obest looked at the giant tree soaring into the sky with complicated eyes.
He didn't understand why such a natural wonder appeared in the oak forest on his back foot just after he left.
That is a descendant of World Tree.
His heart was full of annoyance.
He originally planned to leave here and go to the north to find a forest that is more suitable for him to live in.
Yes.
His four hooves couldn't move.
"But I can't go back."
"How could I have the face to go back after I said that to him?"
Obest turned his head.
The arrogance of the centaur did not allow him to bow his head to that necromancer.
He strode his hooves with all his strength and ran towards the north. After running for several minutes, he only ran more than ten meters.
After a while.
Obest couldn't hold back, and looked back at the towering giant tree again.
At this time.
A green space-time gap appeared in front of him.
Obest is no stranger to this.
That is the portal from the sea of trees.
quickly.
A Fairy of Light, which is bigger than its kind, jumped out of it.
"Good evening, Obest!"
"Little Pineapple greets you instead of everyone!"
"According to our previous agreement, I will come to see how your situation is.
The current situation of everyone is not very good. After the failure of the internal struggle, we lost the recognition of the tree sea, and it was difficult to move there. We had to find a new home to have a chance to reproduce.
Several other Blazers failed to bring back good news.
It seems that this mission falls on my little pineapple!
I trust you Obest.
You have always been the best of the centaurs.
I believe you will be able to lead us all to find a new home. "
The fairy of light named Little Pineapple chattered a lot.
suddenly.
It saw the world tree rising from the ground.
Little Pineapple happily said:
"Obest, my God, you found a descendant of the World Tree!"
Obest originally wanted to say that it is not our world tree, and I have been driven away by the owner of that forest.
You can feel the ecstatic mood of the little pineapple.
He couldn't bear to tell it this cruel fact.
"You are really our hero, will this be our new home?"
Little Pineapple asked full of hope.
Obest opened his mouth and could only bite the bullet and replied:
"Should be... I'm still working on it."
Little Pineapple said happily:
"I knew it, I was the lucky little pineapple! I can't wait to tell everyone the news."
"Come on, Obest, when you settle down, everyone will come to join you!"
said.
It happily disappeared into the crack.
Only Obest stood there foolishly.
Looking at the giant tree soaring into the sky.
His eyes hardened.
…
The next day, Crucible House, Magic Classroom.
After the last theory class.
Matthew and Margaret are talking.
"The relationship between Blinken and Eckmonde?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Margaret asked in surprise.
Matthew showed a gossip smile:
"I heard some very interesting rumors, just want to verify whether it is true."
Margaret snorted:
"It's true. For a while, the two of them stuck together every day. Ekmond regarded Blinken as his sweetheart, and summoned him from time to time. I didn't even have a chance to see my boyfriend. So I changed him into Became an ex-boyfriend."
"However, some time before Blinken's defection, their relationship seemed to have deteriorated sharply. Someone heard Lord Eckmond, who never swears much, yelling at Blinken in the laboratory for being a bastard. But nothing happened to the two of them afterwards. .It didn't take long for Blinken to leave."
Suddenly swearing loudly when you never swear?
Maxiu had an idea in mind, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He wanted to change the subject.
But the next moment.
Margaret asked enthusiastically:
"I heard you made a lot of money recently?"
"Someone wants to find you."
Matthew immediately said vigilantly:
"No investment, no support, no loan."
Margaret snorted coldly:
"I knew you were a stingy man, but don't worry, the person looking for you is not me, but my mentor—Ms. Suriel, one of the three great mages in the alliance."
"She specifically told me that after today's class is over, if you are free, she hopes to see you."
"What do you think, Your Excellency?"
…
