MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 81 This is how I negotiate!
Chapter 81 This is how I negotiate!
…
Rolling Stone Town, Lord's Mansion, Study Room.
Rega was wearing a nightgown, yawning and pushing the door in from the corridor. Not surprisingly, an incredibly handsome guy was already fully dressed and sitting at the desk waiting for him.
"Wait, I asked Mrs. Wesley to make me a pot of coffee."
As he spoke, Rhaegar poked his head out from the side door of the study and called the maid's name.
By the time he got the coffee from the servant and walked slowly to the table, Zeller had already placed a letter in front of him.
"Letter from Matthew."
Zeller said.
"who?"
Regga held the coffee and blew gently, with a dazed look on his face.
"Matthew, your spell consultant."
Zeller reminded.
Rega looked extremely surprised, but his expression seemed too exaggerated:
"So I still have a spell consultant?"
"The guy who took a month-long paid vacation on his first day at work?"
Zeller smiled:
"I applied for him."
Rega sat down on a soft chair, took a sip of boiling coffee, and said vaguely at the same time:
"You just get used to him!"
"What did the letter say?"
As he spoke, he took another big sip of coffee.
“He may have to continue taking leave of absence…”
Zeller hasn't finished speaking yet.
Rega squirted out with a "poof"!
Coffee spilled on half the desk.
"It's okay to ask for leave, but the salary is gone!"
Rhaegar said indignantly:
"A while ago, Du Lin and the others asked me if I needed them to recommend a magic consultant. I said I have one in my family, but I declined their kindness, but in fact? Recently, I have several questions about magic, and I can't find anyone at all. Come and ask!"
Zeller handed over a clean white hand towel thoughtfully:
"Perhaps you could write to him."
"No need, write back and tell him to let him play outside as long as he likes, and it's best never to go back to Rolling Stone Town!"
Rhaegar complained while wiping the table.
His eyes were terribly resentful.
Zeller saw this, coughed lightly, and added:
"Matthew also mentioned in the letter that he encountered a little trouble."
Rhega showed such an expression as expected:
"I knew a long time ago that necromancers are troublemakers wherever they go!"
Zeller retorted:
"But he has planted trees in Rolling Stone Town for three years, and he has never caused any trouble."
Rega snorted twice, seeing that Zeller couldn't speak up, he yelled outside:
"Mrs. Wesley? Mrs. Wesley! Give me another coffee!"
His voice was loud, but there was still no response for a long time in the corridor.
"Damn it, Mrs. Wesley's ears are getting worse and worse. I have to fire her sooner or later!"
Rhaegar cursed, and then increased the volume.
After a while, a burly old woman came from the corridor. She carried the coffee pot and poured another cup for Rega.
"Mrs. Wesley!"
Rhaegar whispered in her ear:
"Wipe the table, and ask Mason to wake Sif up. If Sif is not in her room, ask Mason to find the **** tauren skeleton, and ask her to bring Sif back to the Lord's Mansion before noon. Understand?"
Mrs. Wesley nodded slowly.
After tidying up.
When she was walking out with her things, she suddenly said to the lord:
"Rega, speak softly next time, I can hear you very clearly!"
Rega turned back and sneered at Zeller:
“Deaf people think they can hear well!”
As he spoke, he said to Mrs. Wesley in a slightly louder voice:
"Mrs. Wesley, since you always organize the maids to play cards during the lunch break, I decided to reduce your salary!"
The old woman quickly showed a blank expression:
"What are you talking about, Rhaegar? Can't hear you, speak up!"
Rhaegar shrugged, and suddenly said in a low voice:
"I saw your husband and your son walk into the brothel on Waterpipe Street yesterday, shoulder to shoulder."
The old woman immediately gave him a blank look:
"Pick up points, Rega, you are in your forties, don't be like a child and keep making such irrelevant jokes. My husband has been dead for more than three years, and you personally presided over the funeral at that time!"
After she finished speaking, she took her things and left without looking back.
"Look, I knew her deafness was fake! She just wanted to be lazy!"
Rega cursed bitterly:
"I will quit her next week."
Zeller chuckled:
"You have said this for two years. Everyone knows that you can't dismiss Mrs. Wesley. She watched you grow up."
Rega blew on the coffee expressionlessly:
"I'm serious this time!"
"By the way, this letter, where did we just talk about?"
Zeller reminded: "Matthew is in a little trouble, and I think we need to take the initiative to help."
Rega asked back: "Why?"
Zeller said: "He is very smart and excellent, but he is too young, which is why we can help him."
"Don't forget, he is the one Ronan has taken a fancy to."
Rhaegar was silent for a while, then nodded and said:
"Okay, tell me, what trouble is he having? I'll help as the case may be."
After speaking, he took another big sip of coffee.
Zeller suddenly stopped talking.
After swallowing all the coffee, Rega asked strangely:
"Why are not you talking?"
"I'm waiting for you to finish drinking, I'm afraid you will spray again."
Zeller joked:
"Because the trouble Matthew encountered was Blinken of the Dragon Cult."
Rega suddenly widened his eyes, then looked at the cup in his hand, and laughed at himself:
"It's a good thing you have the foresight, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to change into pajamas."
"So, that kid provoked a legendary mage when he went out of the house?"
Zeller corrects:
"Quasi-legendary, peak level 5, level 20. Blinken has been a quasi-legendary for many years. I guess the reason why he still can't break through has something to do with the Dragon Cult. If he can't make a dracolich, he may You can never be promoted to legend."
Rega hesitantly said:
"Even if there is no legend, it's almost the same. You advise me to take the initiative to provoke a fifth-level mage, or a well-known Dragon Worshiper?"
"If you weren't a warlock yourself, I would suspect that you were seduced by that kid!"
Zeller said calmly:
"We have killed quite a few fifth-level mages before—we all knew that the gap between legends is not that big when we were in Purgatory. If we prepare carefully, fifth-level mages are actually very fragile."
Seeing Zeller's expression.
Rega's heart skipped a beat, with an expression of resistance appearing on his face:
"Damn, here it goes again, I don't want to listen to you now!"
He tried to cover his ears.
However, he was ruthlessly pulled away by Zeller:
"No, you have to listen, it's important.
Matthew mentioned in the letter that he encountered some conflicts between the Dragon Cult and Blinken in the rainforest south of Zeshui City.
In his letter, he explained his follow-up plan in detail, hoping that we can point out the shortcomings in his plan.
His first step is to prepare to negotiate with Blinken.
Look, this is what I admire most about him, not only knowing how to write us, but also knowing how to try to negotiate with the enemy first.
Most boys at his age are idiots, and they only know about fighting and jealousy on weekdays.
And his handling methods are very mature, he understands that violence means risk, so it should always be the last way to solve the problem.
Such a promising young man, of course I am willing to help him.
I believe you too, Rhaegar. "
Rega nodded involuntarily upon hearing the words.
But immediately he encountered another difficulty:
"So let who go? Richard? He is yelling every day that he has retired, and it is impossible to take action for such a small matter.
Du Lin and Asma have just returned to Rolling Stone Town for a few days. They don't know Matthew, and they don't like necromancers. It's definitely not appropriate to send them.
Li Weiqi is fine, since we blew up all the passages leading to the Underdark, he has nothing to do all day long, wandering around in Matthew's woods, shouting that he is bored every day.
I really don’t know how he cultivated his qi, there must be something wrong with this monk’s precepts! "
Zeller crossed his arms and said confidently:
"Li Weiqi, and you!
If the negotiation fails, the two sides are very likely to have a fight, and it is not safe to kill a fifth-level mage with only one Li Weiqi.
Although Matthew mentioned in his letter that he also has a fifth-level Son of the Jungle and an Artificer of unknown strength, I don't have any confidence in them.
So only please do it. "
"I?"
Rhaegar immediately jumped up from the chair:
"I'm the lord of Rolling Stone Town. Could it be that a letter from that kid will make me go through fire and water for him?"
"Because you are the lord of Rolling Stone Town, you should consider the future of Rolling Stone Town."
Zeller said seriously:
"The world is changing, Rhaegar, the peace of the past is gone forever.
Du Lin and Asma also talked to you about their experience overseas when they came back. The mystery of civilization that Matthew told us before is being broken, and people’s ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. I suspect that in the next twenty years, this Many wars will break out on this continent.
Suspicious signs appeared in White Rock City and Torrent City.
Even if Ronan can return from the astral realm, his real foundation is after all in Jewel Bay.
And Rolling Stone Town needs a guardian, an archmage we can trust.
You and I both know the potential of Matthew, and now, the opportunity is in front of you, believe me, Rhaegar, there is no better investment in this world than sending charcoal in a timely manner. "
Rega showed a struggling expression:
"Damn it, Zeller, I knew it was going to happen, I was almost convinced by you! It happens every time! If you can give me another reason, I'll go!"
He looked as if he was ready for death.
Zeller smiled faintly:
"You are the most idle one among all the high-level executives in Rolling Stone Town. Is this reason enough?"
Rega slumped on the chair:
"Okay, I'll just go!"
"Be careful, remember to remind Li Weiqi."
Zeller untied two frog dolls from his waist and handed them to Rhaegar:
"I know you are not afraid of necromancers, but there are no absolutes in the world, so you can't be careless."
Rega took the doll and laughed at himself:
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
"I'm always watching you, Rhaegar."
Zeller put it mildly:
"I know that ability that you spent an untold amount of painstaking efforts on for revenge. It is completely the necromancer's nemesis. This is one of the reasons why you can tolerate Matthew, isn't it?"
Rhaegar hung one of the dolls around his waist, and shook the other one:
"I'll give it to Levi, but he probably doesn't need it."
"By the way, how should we get there? This place is too far away from the rain forest. The Oriental Giant Eagle can't move the two of us at once."
Zeller laughed again:
"The owl that Matthew sent to deliver the letter is a senior patron of the Moon Goddess. When there is moonlight tonight, she will take you into the kingdom of the Moon Goddess.
After that, Matthew himself will provide the goddess with a coordinate anchor point, and you can teleport directly to him. The price is that he will owe the goddess of moonlight a favor for this.
This is the cunning of this kid. In his letter, he only explained his plan to us and asked for advice, without any intention of asking for help.
However, he clearly wrote out the way to travel quickly, and claimed that he would greet the goddess of moonlight.
Look, what a cunning and cheeky kid.
He already knows how to make full use of network resources.
So at his age, what are you doing, Rhaegar? "
Facing Zeller's inquiry.
Rega replied without thinking:
"Ah, I was still in Ponyville at that time, fighting with those **** of the Turtle Gang every day, and occasionally being jealous because of young and beautiful girls competing with others..."
While talking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stopped in a hurry.
Zeller in front of him finally couldn't help laughing.
…
「Reminder: The level of your contracted summon (Tauren skeleton) has been raised to LV13!
Peggy has mastered a series of new abilities. "
…
Are you only 1 level higher than me again?
But when she was level 5, Peggy was still at level 9.
Matthew was a little confused. What he signed with Peggy was the most common undead contract. If there is a seal, it must have nothing to do with the contract.
This kind of incomprehension can only be attributed to Peggy's own strangeness.
Anyway, there are many strange things about her, and this one is not bad.
"Maybe it's not a seal, but my advancement or other actions have activated the potential in her body?"
Matthew withdrew his thoughts.
At this time, a group of four people were standing neatly in front of the throne, accepting Su Ya's blessing.
Strips of white light fell.
Su Ya sat upright on the throne, her expression seemed sacred and inviolable.
After coming out of the woods.
She has always been like this, with an unbelievably elegant and holy temperament.
This strong sense of contrast is really impressive.
Matthew thought that when she blessed everyone, she would take the opportunity to humiliate herself.
So he closed his breath in advance, gritted his teeth and endured it.
However, until the blessing link is completely over.
None of the rubbing, stepping, and kicking that Matthew expected came.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a sense of loss.
When leaving the black banyan dreamland.
Matthew looked back at Su Ya who was on the throne.
The latter's face gradually became blurred.
Between hazy and hazy.
Matthew seemed to see her smile to himself.
Then the scene in front of my eyes began to blur.
A gentle force pushed him away from the black banyan dreamland.
…
Morning, at the edge of Brine Marsh.
Lumière bent down and carefully distinguished the traces on the ground:
"Their marching speed is very fast. They should have reached the depths of the swamp at this moment. There is no sign of fighting nearby. It is strange that such a big movement didn't attract the undead in the swamp?"
Matthew said solemnly:
"Blinken himself is a powerful necromancer. It's normal for him to have a way to appease the undead. I wonder why he came in this direction. Could it be the tomb of the dragon that Bitterwater Swamp and Dragon Cult are looking for? There are relationships?"
Xiu pondered and said:
"I have also heard a little about the former owner of Bitterwater Swamp. That necromancer named Dania was the last two generations of White Rock City's lord. He is an archmage officially registered in the alliance. He is very decent among necromancers. That's right, I shouldn't have anything to do with Blinken."
Matthew nodded and said:
"No matter what, we have to catch up with Blinken first. Be careful, everyone. We can follow their footsteps when we enter the swamp, but try not to step on their footprints."
Experienced marching masters will leave several terrible spell traps in the footprints of their own troops.
Many stalkers were killed by it
Under Matthew's signal, Lumière took the lead.
He pushed aside a piece of reeds and walked in along the side of the footprints.
Matthew, Bobo and Hugh followed in turn.
Didn't go very far.
A zombie suddenly appeared from the haystack ahead!
As soon as she saw Lumiere, she couldn't help but rushed over.
Lumiere was about to make a move, but heard Matthew shouting in a low voice:
"retreat!"
He didn't hesitate, and quickly moved away.
Matthew chanted a spell in a low voice.
"Spell: Soothe the Dead"!
Under the comfort of Matthew's spell, the zombie gradually lost its desire to attack. She staggered and walked beside the crowd.
"That zombie knows you?"
Bobo asked.
Matthew looked at the bewildered Miss Zombie and sighed softly:
"There was a one-night relationship."
Xiuyi and Lumiere suddenly turned pale with fright.
Matthew hurriedly pointed to Bobo and explained:
"She was there that night."
Bobo seemed to remember, and nodded vigorously:
"That's right, that's right, I'm there too!"
As a result, Xiuyi and Lumiere were even more shocked when they heard the words.
It's been a long time.
Only then did the two of them recover.
Xiu coughed, and awkwardly changed the subject:
"Mr. Matthew, I think there are still many undead along the way. If we keep using appeasement, it may affect the speed of our pursuit."
Matthew waved his hand:
"It's okay, don't appease me now, if there are undead, I will use this to open the way!"
said.
He took "Usul's Rebuke" out of his luggage and held it tightly in his palm.
This time, the two just glanced at the long black whip and didn't say much.
Ten minutes later.
On the outskirts of the swamp, on a slightly raised highland.
A burly dragon blood warrior is leading four Dragon Worshipers and seven or eight ground fire dragons to inspect the surrounding situation.
"It seems that Blinken is setting up a sentry to guard against pursuers."
In the reeds not far away.
Xio, who was the first to discover this sentry post, said in a small voice:
"What are we going to do? Avoid them, Mr. Matthew?"
The horse repair shop should say:
"Of course it's all in one go, kill them!"
Xiu was stunned for a moment:
"But didn't you say you want to negotiate first?"
Matthew smiled and patted Lumiere and Popo on the shoulders:
“This is how I negotiate!”
said.
He was the first to rush out of the reeds, his body swelled violently, and he turned into a moon bear in the blink of an eye!
"Roar!"
Moon Bear growled while running.
"Instinctive Spellcasting: Vines"!
At that moment, two barbed vines grew rapidly from the ground, entangled the dragon blood warrior to death!
