MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 2 Summoning Necromancer: Bone Dragon

  Chapter 2 Necromancer Summoning: Bone Dragon

  …

  The next day.

  Matthew got up early in the morning.

   Today is Saturday.

  He doesn't need to go to Sever School during the day.

   Just in time to complete the final task indicators.

  He carried a few bags of saplings from the greenhouse and hurried out.

   Peggy is indeed meticulous in her work.

In addition to everything needed for planting, she also put a lunch box and water bag on the shelf next to the sapling bag - which means that she not only guessed that Matthew would have a big job today, but also guessed that he would probably Forget about getting food from the kitchen.

  This carefulness is a miracle for a low-level undead creature.

  Sometimes Matthew felt that it would be okay to let Peggy plant trees instead of him.

   But he also just thought about it.

  Although Rolling Stone Town is not a remote place where magic is extinct, and necromancers are far from the point where everyone screams and beats in the world of Aindor, a walking skeleton will always attract many strange looks.

   Not to mention that Peggy is still a rare skeleton transformed from a dead tauren.

  The Arabian Nights such as 'skeleton planting trees' will definitely attract all kinds of criticism in a small place like Rolling Stone Town.

   It's troublesome to think about it.

  …

   Oak Grove North.

  Matthew patrolled the land ahead with steady steps.

  He is choosing a site for the saplings.

  Planting a tree is never easy—

  selection;

   Germination;

  Foundation soil configuration;

  Greenhouse fixed planting;

   Tree pit site selection;

  Transplantation and maintenance;

  …

  This series of steps has been mastered by Matthew in the past three years.

  But there are always various troubles to be solved at the practical level.

  For example, now, Matthew has already prepared the saplings and tools, but he has been unable to start work because of the difficulty in choosing a site.

   "Rolling Stone Town is really not a good place to plant trees."

  Looking at the billowing black smoke from the west.

   Matthew is so emotional.

  Gold Digger Basin is famous for its various mine pits. The land here has been dug back and forth several times by humans and kobolds, both above and below ground. Most of the places are not suitable for the survival of plants.

  Man-made pollution is nothing more than that.

   What is even more terrifying is the big scar in the north!

  Matthew stood on a high place on a mound looking north.

   "It's close again."

  He looked at the black scar that continued to spread from the north with a complicated expression.

  …

  「Scar of the Dead」

  …

   That was the scar left on the earth by a natural disaster many years ago.

  It starts from Jewel Bay in the east, passes through Jade Cangting and Eversong Forest, and ends at the human territory: Gold Digger Basin.

  Near the Scar of the Dead.

   Vitality is extinct.

  Even undead creatures can hardly survive.

   That is the purest and most violent force of extinction.

   Mortals are invincible.

  …

   "There are many similarities between this world and the game world, but there are also many differences; there is no trace of the dead in the game world, and I have never heard of Rolling Stone Town and Jade Cangting—maybe they are in the same universe, but they are not in the same plane?"

  …

   Look away.

   Matthew walks down the hill.

  Behind him is the growing oak forest, in front of him is a barren and barren land, and behind the oak forest is the red-roofed and yellow-bricked Rolling Stone Town.

  The three areas are clearly separated.

  Sometimes Matthew feels that the tasks issued by the system may be related to the Scar of the Dead.

  Because the more he looked at the oak forest, the more it looked like a shield against the Scar of the Dead.

pity.

   "Just relying on an oak forest cannot stop the spread of the scar of the dead."

   he thought casually.

  …

  Matthew made a big circle down the hillside.

   Finally found a few suitable pits.

  Although this place is beyond the scope of his plan, there is still a distance from the scar of the dead, and the planted oak saplings will not fail to survive.

  Limited by his physique and strength, Matthew can't be said to be vigorous and resolute in his work, but he is better than experienced.

  He maintains a certain rhythm and rate.

  until the sun rises on high.

  The young saplings in the sacks have settled down at the foot of the hillside.

  Matthew wiped off his sweat, took out a bottle of green liquid from his arms, and sprinkled it on the oak saplings one by one.

   This is the "growth green liquid" he entrusted someone to buy at a high price from the druids in Watcher Heights. It has catalytic and strengthening effects on plants, and long-term watering can support natural growth for 20 years in a year.

   Unfortunately, this is the last bottle Matthew has on hand.

   These three years.

  Matthew put almost all his savings into the vigorous tree planting business.

   Now it's finally time to harvest.

   His hands trembled slightly.

   Poof.

   Drops of green liquid fell.

  The little sapling that was still wilting just now branched out!

that moment.

  Matthew's eyes also glowed.

  …

  「Successfully planted 5 oak trees, your natural affinity has been slightly improved

  Cumulative number of oak trees planted and survived: 1001

  …

  You have completed the primary goal of 'Main Task: Planting Trees'.

  You got the reward 'Dead Soul Summoning (Bone Dragon)' & 'Lots of XP'! "

  …

  「You's level has been raised to level 8!

   (Cannot continue to upgrade, the remaining XP has been credited, please advance as soon as possible)

  …

  The spell level of your Undead Summoning has been raised to level 8, and a contract slot has been added!

   Your Intelligence +1

  Your perception +1

  …

  You have obtained a new ability 'Instant Summon'!

  You have obtained a new ability 'fixed fall'!

  Your ability 'rot sac mastery' has been upgraded to 'rot sac mastery'!

  You can learn more advanced spells!

  …”

  …

  Dense information drifted past Matthew's eyes.

   A great sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

  The improvement of attributes and abilities did not exceed Matthew's expectations.

   But in terms of experience, there is still a lot left after going up to 3 levels in a row, which can be said to be very rich!

   This is much more experience than he gained through necromeditation every day!

but.

   The most important thing for Matthew is to summon the bone dragon!

  …

  「Summoning of Necromancers (Bone Dragon): You can summon a Bone Dragon to serve you at any time.

  Remarks: The level of this skull dragon does not exceed level 15.

  Contract Status: Contracted"

  …

   "It's actually in a contracted state, and it saves me a contract slot!"

   Matthew is very satisfied.

   Necromancer Summoning is a Necromancer's housekeeping skill, and it will increase with the level.

   And for every two career levels raised, there will be one more 'contract slot'.

   This is used to bind specific summons.

   Necromancers now need less mana to summon contracted targets.

  The tacit understanding between the two parties is also higher.

   It's been a long time.

  Some necromancers even develop feelings for their contract objects.

  …

   Kobold Mine.

  In a hidden underground cave.

  Matthew held the deadwood staff and tried to summon the bone dragon for the first time.

  The spell sounded.

  With the support of the new ability "Instant Summon".

  When the first syllable came out of Matthew's mouth, an inverse hexagram array pointing to the negative energy plane flickered in the dark cave, and gray bone powder and dark green phosphorous fire floated from the void like snowflakes.

  Matthew looked intently.

  A giant skeleton beast that was mostly submerged in the darkness was entrenched there vigilantly.

   "Boiling~"

  The dark blue soul fire lit up from the bone dragon's skull.

  It stared at Matthew indifferently.

   Matthew became a little nervous when he saw him.

  The sound of "boiling" like a cave leaking in the air continued.

   One person and one dragon are in such a stalemate.

   Matthew's muscles were extremely tense.

   This is the first time he faces a monster whose level is close to twice his own!

  The contract concluded makes him immune to that faint dragon prestige.

  But the huge pressure on the body and the fear brought by the terrifying image cannot be erased.

  …

   "It's no wonder that people in the world are always prejudiced against necromancers. The things in the necromancer domain are more scary than the last. How many people can face this fear directly?"

  Matthew adjusted his mentality.

  He waved the deadwood staff and ordered to the bone dragon:

   "Bow your head."

  Bone Dragon's movements are slow but firm.

  Its slender neck slowly circled the rocks and ceiling of the cave.

   Then it landed firmly on the ground in front of Matthew.

   Its mandibles are pressed against the ground.

  The faint blue soul fire is jumping and jumping.

   somehow.

  Matthew actually felt a bit of nervousness from the spirit fire of the huge monster in front of him.

   Matthew was immediately happy.

   Bone Dragon is not nervous when he is nervous.

  He boldly stepped on the bone dragon's head.

  The latter made a 'woo-woo' sound, appearing very docile.

   Matthew felt relieved.

  He bent down and stroked the bones of the Skeletal Dragon.

  Dry.

   Still rough.

   It doesn't look like a precious bone at first glance.

   "When we have money, we will definitely replace you with good bones."

  Matthew couldn't help but say something.

   "Boiling..."

   Bone Dragon groaned.

  …

   "Philorius (Bone Dragon)'s loyalty to you has increased to 85!"

  …

   Matthew Yile.

   "So easy to satisfy? Then I will draw a few more pies."

   Bone Dragon slowly raised its head.

   Its magnitude is small.

  Matthew was able to look down on the cave from a higher angle—

   This place was originally a paradise for gold diggers. Later, the mines were exhausted and left idle, and then occupied by a kobold tribe.

   After the Blood Banner family took control of Rolling Stone Town, the local lord issued several kobold expulsion orders one after another. Only after the surrounding adventurers and mercenaries hunted down the area did this area gradually become dead and deserted.

   As far as Matthew knows.

   There are many similar caves in the Gold Digger Basin.

  These caves are intricate.

   There are rumors that some caves are even connected to a wider underground world.

  That's where the kobolds really evacuated.

  …

   Matthew rarely set foot in these areas.

  But the size of the Bone Dragon is too big, even this underground cave can hardly accommodate it. One can imagine how much trouble it would cause if it appeared on the surface.

  He is a low-key and pragmatic person.

  He never intended to hide his identity as a necromancer from the outside world.

  But I don't want to cause trouble for no reason.

   "It's better to play in the hole in the future."

  Thinking so.

  Matthew carefully checked the body of the bone dragon.

  By the way, I also checked its data.

  …

  「Name: Philoreus

   Race: Bone Dragon (LV15)

  Attributes: Strength 24/Agility 10/Constitution 17/Intelligence 4/Will 10/Charm 14

   Qualities: blindsense (60 ft.)/immunity to acid/immunity to cold/sensitivity/undead

  Abilities: Flattery/First Attack/Necromancer Dragon Might/Dash/Tail Sweep..."

  …

   "Fawning?"

   Matthew was belated.

   "Just now he was trying to curry favor with me?"

   It seems to be to confirm Matthew's idea.

  The bone dragon's sound of "boiling" came from under its feet, which matched the emotions conveyed by the leaping soul fire, which seemed to be somewhat flattering.

   In Matthew's mind, the macho image that had just been established because of the tall and mighty Bone Dragon suddenly disappeared.

  He couldn't help stamping his feet:

   "Your name is too difficult to pronounce."

   "I'll call you 'Xiao Bo' from now on!"

  …

  Philorius was at a loss for a while.

   Immediately, its soul fire shook violently.

   Bursts of joy surged along the contract.

  …

   "Thanks for giving the name, Philoreus (Bone Dragon)'s loyalty to you has increased to 90!"

  …

  Maybe too happy.

  Xiao Bo's head shook too much.

   Matthew was almost thrown off by it!

   Fortunately, his perception and agility are good.

  A chic little jump.

  Matthew landed firmly in the shadow of the cave.

   But at that moment.

  He suddenly felt something was wrong.

  Turn around and look in the direction of the strange feeling on the soles of your feet.

  He stepped on a blood-stained piece of clothing.

  …
