MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 52 I am Peggy!
Chapter 52 I am Peggy!
…
Looking at Eli's earnest eyes, Matthew tried to make his tone as tactful as possible:
"Peggy is indeed a woman with a beautiful heart, but sometimes, it may be a better way to get along with a little mystery."
Eli read between Matthew's words.
He was suddenly dissatisfied:
"I thought that even if we weren't friends, at least we wouldn't be strangers to each other these days."
Matthew hurriedly smiled and said:
"As long as you nod, Eli, we'll be friends forever."
Eli's face softened slightly:
"Since we are friends, why stop me from seeing Peggy?"
As he spoke, he suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment:
"Could it be that Peggy is your lover?"
"Then I'm really a bit abrupt, but don't worry, I just want to see her, and I definitely don't mean to take her away! After all, I've been there before, and I know how painful that feeling is. I won't let you suffer that pain .”
The smile on Matthew’s face froze:
"No, no, Peggy is not my lover, and I didn't stop you from seeing her out of selfish desire."
Eli was surprised and said:
"Then why are you so reluctant to let me see Peggy?"
Ma Xiuxiu wanted to explain, but a tall figure suddenly walked over in a hurry:
"Matthew! Take a look at my chest!"
"Come on, touch it, here, and here, are there a few bones missing?!"
The tauren skeleton walked carelessly.
Taking advantage of the situation, Eli was forcefully pushed aside.
Eli's face suddenly showed dissatisfaction, but before he could speak, the strange skeleton yelled at him:
"Little cat, don't look unhappy, I just heard you talking about me behind my back!"
Eli was very happy.
He was about to say that I was talking about Miss Paige's business to you.
can be next second.
He heard Matthew's slightly helpless voice:
"Okay, Peggy, stop messing around."
"Didn't I check it for you that day? It was just a few broken ribs, and I have already connected them for you. With your physique, you can recover after a while."
Peggy obviously didn't believe it.
She covered her chest with one hand, and groped for a while with the other hand from under her ribs. After a while, she shook her head and said:
"Okay, even if the ribs are connected, but my **** also hurts, please check it for me quickly..."
The voice just fell.
The stunned Eli finally came to his senses.
He asked as if his tongue was tied:
"Is she Peggy?"
The tauren skeleton said proudly:
"I am Peggy!"
Matthew showed a little pity:
"Peggy is who she is."
…
Underdark region, pool of blood light.
The location of the Scourge Order Sanctuary.
In front of the door of an ordinary white wooden house, there is a flaming brazier on each side. The brazier ignites spontaneously, and painful and distorted faces occasionally flash in the firelight.
On the steps.
A blond man with a warm smile on his face was facing the vigilant drow warrior.
He gently opened his arms to the drow warrior, and there was a power in his voice that could move people's hearts:
"Welcome back to the sanctuary, my daughter Laila."
As he spoke, he leaned forward with his arms, motioning for Drow to come and hug him.
Lila raised her eyelids slightly, she walked over reluctantly, hugged the man gently, and separated immediately.
Her body movements were full of resistance, and there was even deep fear in the depths of her pupils.
"My father, this operation has been declared a failure. Mehdis and Banwen were killed by the enemy, and Xinwak was suspected of becoming a prisoner. I followed my father's oracle and only brought back Edson's head."
said.
She handed over the head that was tightly held in her arms respectfully.
"Only the head?"
The blond man was still smiling, and his tone was like a spring breeze.
Laila trembled, she hurriedly lowered her head and said:
"That group of people is very strict. The strength of Rolling Stone Town is above our estimation. That necromancer is very cunning. Edson can neither counter his spell nor have a chance to exile his bone dragon, so And they lost the battle. They have a lot of people and tight guards. I can't bring back Edson's body, so I can only do the next best thing."
"Sorry, this failure is inevitable, and even if I take action, I can't change the situation."
The blond man shook his head and said:
“We have not failed.”
Laila looked up in surprise, but saw a sincere smile on the other party's face:
"My Lord says he is pleased, and the original purpose has been accomplished."
Leila is at a loss:
"But we did lose."
The blond man smiled and said:
"The momentary victory or defeat is nothing but a fleeting moment. More importantly, war is only a means, not an end."
"We must prepare for the next mission as soon as possible. Only in this way is the best return to our Lord's rich grace."
Laila breathed a sigh of relief, and said hastily and obediently:
"I see, I will go to Black Dragon City to lobby."
"Not urgent."
The blond man smiled and said:
"Everyone is dead, but you live alone. Although this is my order to you, you still have to be punished—not for yourself, but for those dead companions."
Laila raised her head abruptly, her eyes filled with fear and reluctance.
Layers of pearl-like sweat appeared on her forehead instantly.
"Father..."
She groaned.
"Why, you don't want to?"
The blond man was still smiling. Under the firelight, his shadow was infinitely elongated, forming a hideous silhouette against the stone wall.
"No, I do."
Laila clenched her teeth for a long time, and finally said in a whisper.
"Come on, let's go in."
The blond man gently took her hand.
The two walked into the wooden house painted with white paint.
quickly.
An extremely shrill female voice came from the house.
Indistinctly.
You can also hear the gentle teaching of the blond man:
"You should be happy, Laila, it's a Father's love."
"You should rejoice, this is the gift of our Lord."
"Laugh! Laugh out loud! Otherwise, I won't guarantee that I can stuff this spine in time for you..."
quickly.
Outside the wooden house.
The shrill voice turned into a melodious voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
A subterranean squirrel passed by blankly.
It lay curiously on the window of the wooden house and watched.
There was a crisp sound.
A ferocious tentacle extended from an unknown place.
When that slimy tentacle disappears.
Only a shallow pool of bloodstains remained on the window.
And the hysterical laughter in the house.
Still going on.
…
Northeast of Oak Forest.
Matthew stood near a marker stone with a serious face.
He was followed by several defensemen with shocked faces.
The group of people is still some distance away from the marker stone, but they dare not approach it at this time.
Because they felt a terrible force of death!
"The scar of the dead has spread, and it is an abnormal spread, stronger and longer than before!"
Matthew's eyes were serious.
When the incident happened, he was leading a few teammates to build a temporary cemetery in the cave. Suddenly, he sensed an evil movement.
When I followed the perception here, I found that the scar of the dead not only spread to the southwest for a long time, but even the activity of a certain existence inside it increased a lot.
The oak tree that Matthew had planted here before was originally thirty or forty meters away from the Scar of the Dead.
Available now.
That tree is almost clinging to the scorched earth of Dead Man's Scar!
Under the washing of that force of extinction.
This oak tree is already showing signs of decay.
Although he will not die immediately, it will definitely be difficult to survive after a long time.
"What the hell? Why did the Mark of the Dead erupt just fine!?"
Matthew was full of doubts.
Immediately, he remembered a strange thing he had encountered while cleaning the corpses in the past few days - Matthew discovered that the more than 300 corpses, whether they were jackals, kobolds, or elves and little lemurs, were more Like a mummy.
No water and lack of blood.
When he first discovered this anomaly, Matthew thought it was related to the evil spell set by the Scourge on these underground creatures.
But now it seems that it may not be so.
"Could it be that the scars of the dead absorbed the blood of the war dead? By the way, I checked the status of the spirit bodies with elementary vision before, and found that the number of spirit bodies was also relatively small after the war. I thought it was because the work efficiency of the people in the underworld increased. ..."
Matthew's heart was pounding.
Could it be that the destruction of Rolling Stone Town is not the ultimate goal for the Scourge?
Scar of the Dead? !
ZiZiZi!
At the edge of the scorched earth, a giant hand that seemed to be composed of countless scraps of paper and ashes broke through the ground, and attacked Matthew in a menacing manner.
Matthew was extremely calm, stepped back three steps, and A Bing's figure had already taken his place.
Between the lightning and the flint, two short knives passed alternately, and the hand of ashes instantly turned into flying ash.
…
「Reminder: You have eliminated a "Hand of Ashes", and the natural affinity has been slightly improved.
You got a brand new main mission—
Main Mission 2: Suppress the Scar of the Destroyer!
Description: The scar of the dead is expanding unscrupulously, even threatening the oak forest you have painstakingly managed. It is time to pull out the cancerous tumor of this land!
Primary goal: Stop the Scar of the Dead and block the possibility of its further spreading to the southwest.
Primary reward: demigod (including domain) & a lot of XP"
…
Matthew's eyelids twitched.
"Sure enough, the main quest is finally connected to Scar of the Dead."
Although deep down I had expected it.
But the content of the mission and the generous rewards still surprised him.
A demigod with domains?
This means that as long as Matthew reaches the fourth level, with the blessing of the demigod and the domain, it is possible to reach the realm of invincible hands under the legend!
Even the demigod status blessed in the third-order state gave him the ability to surpass the challenges of the second-order state.
This also reflects the arduousness of the task from the side.
At least for now, no one knows how to stop the spread of Scar of the Dead.
The elves of Jade Cangting failed.
The druids in Warden's Heights didn't do it either.
Matthew can only rely on his own strength to explore, which is a rather difficult task.
But he had to.
Because if the marks of the dead are not stopped, the oak forest he managed so hard is very likely to be destroyed.
When he is introduced, his natural way will be completely sealed, and there will be no possibility of further progress!
"Let's go, report to the lord, we have to re-establish the marker stone."
Matthew took a deep look at the scorched earth in front of him.
Then he turned around and took people away.
…
night.
Matthew, unable to sleep, stood in the north of the oak forest and looked at the scars of the dead.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was a huge earthworm.
It's been a long time.
Matthew even had the illusion that this thing would twist.
"Matthew."
A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Matthew looked back:
"Ella?"
But in the next second, he couldn't help blurting out:
"No, you're not Ella!"
Under the moonlight.
Miss Owl **** her wings gracefully and divinely.
She carried a majesty and holiness that she never had before.
"You are very sharp, hello Matthew, first meeting, I am Asia Moonlight."
The owl chuckled.
She flew to a rock and stood firm, then looked at Matthew kindly:
"The moonlight is beautiful, isn't it?"
