A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 172
Chapter 172 Combat Reflexion (ask for a monthly ticket)
…
The world in front of me is like a dream.
Large pieces of purple and red color blocks twisted like a whirlpool, hitting Matthew’s retina heavily.
A single-celled organism with a ring of flagella around its cell membrane swam past him.
Next second.
The cell nuclei in its body spew out gorgeous lava like a volcanic eruption.
The screen keeps zooming in.
A huge dark cloud suddenly rose above the crater.
Above the clouds.
There are dozens of holy angels with halos on their heads singing.
Their expressions were sacred and pious, and they held books with golden crosses on their chests.
The cross on the cover of one of the books suddenly floated towards Matthew’s pupils.
The golden light twisted violently.
Indistinctly.
He heard a mournful horn.
He saw the continental crust moving slowly, saw volcanoes erupting one after another, the earth was dry and hardened, and the whole planet was filled with drought and dilapidation.
Then there was a great flood from heaven.
The inexhaustible oceans filled the gaps in the plates and nourished everything on the planet.
The singing of whales and dolphins came from the sea.
Pieces of forests rose from the ground.
Cottages are dotted among them.
On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, a tall humanoid creature brandished a weapon and rushed towards the strangely shaped enemy.
In a dry and closed crypt, a shrine was put down by a pair of calloused hands.
Then the age of the gods came.
Matthew saw people flying in the sky, saw tens of thousands of creatures kneeling and worshiping on the ground, and saw thousands of households devoutly chanting the names of different gods before meals as the sun set.
This scene is interspersed in colorful distorted color blocks like a slideshow.
Indescribably psychedelic and gorgeous.
Everything after that starts to speed up.
Matthew only blinked, and the world seemed to have passed ten thousand years.
Suddenly, he saw the planet explode and shatter into fine dust.
After that, the world returned to peace.
Only a huge halo is left over the universe starry sky.
But his “body” is constantly shuttling forward.
He flew over the dust, over the stars, through the blue or green nebula and flew to the end of the dark star world!
Suddenly.
A strong sense of weightlessness hit my heart!
He suddenly woke up.
…
“Hint: You explored the microcosm.
You observe the changing process of the world through the eyes of a small group of microbes.
Your knowledge (world origin and change) +20」
…
“Just now, it wasn’t all hallucinations?”
Matthew blinked hard, and he noticed that he was not actually too close to Hussman.
This wonderful visual journey made Matthew fond of reminiscing.
At one point he thought it was a hallucination, but it now appears that at least part of it was real.
He firmly engraved this part of the memory in his mind.
“Hassman can take the initiative to share the field with me, which shows that he is a veteran in the field of spores, that is, the number of explorations is between 8 and 12. There is no other competitor in this field. As long as there is no accident, he will become the leader of the field. Dominance—that is, meeting the two conditions of “13 explorations and completing the dominance claim” is almost a matter of course! “
“No wonder Topaz Dragon Klett vowed that a king of fungi will be born in the future…”
“And I was lucky this time, and I completed the “first entry” in one go, which means that I have explored the spore field 2 or 3 times. “
Matthew marveled at Hussman’s strength.
However, in the process just now, he not only observed the changes in the world from the perspective of microorganisms, but also felt a strong sense of loneliness.
The sense of loneliness comes from two souls—Husman, the rot sac lord, and Dudley, the sun elf.
The latter is lonely because he has lost all his kindred.
And Hussman is lonely because he is the only alternative in this group.
It is indeed very rare that microorganisms can give birth to such advanced intelligence.
Perhaps it is because they are all lonely souls that they are attracted to each other.
Matthew calmed down and carefully examined the three abilities brought to him by the spore domain.
…
「Brewing: You can put a grain or fruit of any variety into a wine jar, and then use this ability to summon a group of microorganisms from the spore field to magically ferment the raw materials.
After six hours of closure, you can get a jar of fine wine.
Remarks: Different foods or fruits can produce fine wines with different tastes and attributes;
Available times per day: 3 times」
「Decomposition and fertilization: You can quickly decompose the remains of any animal or plant, as fast as 30 seconds or as slow as 5 minutes, and they will be completely decomposed into nutrients.
You can inject these nutrients into specific plants to cultivate specific plants;
It can also spread nutrients evenly on the land, slightly increasing the fertility of the land.
Remarks: This ability is not limited to the number of times per day, but it will consume a certain amount of energy when used.”
”Four seasons are like spring: You can maintain a spring-like climate on up to 2 acres of land and space.
This ability takes effect for a long time.
At least once a month to replace the designated land」
…
Three are good abilities.
Fine wine is a hot seller no matter where it is, not to mention that the wine brewed by this method is fast and good, and there is a certain chance of increasing attributes!
This ability alone can cultivate a promising winemaker.
“Can any grain or fruit and vegetable be brewed?”
“Then if you use mushrooms, what kind of wine can you make?”
Matthew is full of curiosity about this ability.
“Decomposition and Fertilization” can be used not only as a supplement to the sanctuary of life, but also as a proof of existence in the field of microorganisms.
It is the cornerstone of the bridge between life and death.
With this ability, Matthew has a specific means of communication.
It can be used not only to plant trees, but also to plant anything!
the most important is.
There is no daily limit to this ability.
Matthew is quite confident in his energy.
If it doesn’t work, just use energy potion.
“The cotton harvest in the high-leaf collar is failing, and the wheat in the golden fertile field is in a hurry. How about I ask Rega for another piece of land and try to be self-sufficient?”
“However, it’s a bit overkill for the magic consultant to farm the land. I have to ask Rhaegar to add more money to me.”
Matthew imagined wantonly.
As for the last “Four Seasons Like Spring”, this is also a magical skill of the earth farming system.
It is roughly estimated that 60 oak trees can be planted on two acres of land.
This means that his tree planting progress in summer can be improved a lot.
In addition, in the face of climate crisis, this capability can also provide the most basic food supply.
In addition to the spore field.
Matthew’s plague field has also been enhanced in the state of activation and resonance.
He took a look.
The current plague field is also entry-level (2 times).
…
“Hint: You’re one step further in the Plague realm.
–
Your ability “Rotting Sac Mastery” has been strengthened, and the improvement effect is as follows—
The Sophie spores that you control and spread through your ability will cause a strong abdominal pain effect after being inhaled into the digestive tract. After 10 minutes of abdominal pain, the spore host will break out of uncontrollable diarrhea.
–
You gain the ability “Blinding Fungus”.
Blinding Fungus: You can activate this ability at any time. After activation, a group of unique fungi will be attached to the palms of your hands.
Afterwards, when you use unarmed melee attacks, as long as you touch the enemy’s skin, there is a high probability that the target will be “blinded” after 5 seconds.
The duration of the blinding effect depends on the physique and strength of the opponent, and the shortest will not be less than 18 seconds.
Specially, you can designate a wild form to share the effect of this ability. “
…
When you see the previous instructions.
Matthew also felt that the ability of “blinding fungus” was a bit tasteless.
I am a mage, and I am still a master of summoning, how can I easily step forward and fight with people?
What’s more, bare hands are required.
This is completely inconsistent with Matthew’s actual combat scene. No matter how you say it, he will carry a dagger or something.
But since it can be used in wild form.
Matthew shared it with “Moon Bear” without hesitation.
This time, even if the moon bear touches the butt, there is a high probability of blinding directly.
Can be a small surprise.
As for the strengthening of the control of the rot sac, it can only be regarded as a small improvement.
After all, he has reached Matthew’s current level.
How to silently send the rot cyst spores into the enemy’s body is the bigger problem.
Pyrocystis spores are already extremely annoying to enemies when they are activated.
The abdominal pain effect can only be said to be icing on the cake.
All in all, Hussman’s generosity made Matthew very grateful.
This is tantamount to obtaining a very critical field without paying any price.
Although this is related to the current embarrassing situation of the spore association.
But it also helped Matthew a lot.
He subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to lean on and thank Hussman for sharing.
Who knows the next second.
The huge white flower shrank back violently as if frightened!
Crash!
The petals are gathered upwards, the flower buds are flying all over the sky, and a lot of sand is raised.
Less than five seconds.
Hussman shrank completely underground!
The sand is extremely flat.
Only the surrounding sand spilled proves that the miraculous life has appeared.
“Don’t go forward, Hussman is too shy.”
Dudley hurried over and said:
“He has already recognized you, but after all, it is the first time he has met you, so he is embarrassed to have further contact.”
“If you can stay on Eternal Isle for a few more days, he might be willing to let you touch it.”
“Having said that, welcome to the Spore Association!”
Matthew smiled and shook hands with him.
At this time, Margaret next to him finally couldn’t bear it anymore and gave him a wink.
The two came to the side and whispered.
“Are you sure you want to join this association? I still think this sun elf is a bit too weird. A fine creature reproduces through microorganisms?”
“Are you sure he won’t go astray?”
Margaret expressed her concerns.
Matthew thought for a while:
“If we leave here, maybe he really went astray.”
“And after I join, I can still persuade him not to go astray.”
Margaret was taken aback.
What Matthew said sounds quite reasonable to her, but instinctively she still feels that it is wrong.
And after Matthew finished that sentence.
Can’t wait to turn around and talk to Dudley again.
Margaret quietly pricked up her ears.
But listen to Matthew asking with concern:
“Speaking of which, if you continue the bloodline through fission reproduction, will it really not cause damage to yourself?”
Dudley replied:
“There will definitely be damage. I always feel that my brain is much stupider than before.”
“But after testing, I’m actually smarter than before, but my soul is much weaker.”
“Other aspects are very good. Hussman will also strictly limit the number of splits I have. In fact, I only want to split a female version of Dudley, but this thing is also very hard to say. It has to be lucky.”
Matthew pondered:
“But the question is, even if a female version of Dudley is cultivated, are you sure she can bear children for you?”
Dudley smiled bitterly:
“Not sure, I can only try.”
Matthew persuaded:
“I think it’s too risky to split ourselves up. Maybe we should experiment with other species first. It’s a good spirit of experimentation—
Now your safety should be guaranteed, right?
So there is really no need to be so anxious. “
Dudley thought for a while:
“You are right, maybe I should really experiment with fission reproduction on other species first.”
Margaret breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words.
“It seems that Matthew is not talking nonsense. His joining the spore association can indeed prevent this elf from going astray.”
But she just thought so.
Matthew’s next sentence came out:
“How about trying zombies?”
“Skeletons are fine too.”
“Undead creatures that are naturally incapable of reproduction should be the most suitable samples for experimenting with fission reproduction!”
In Margaret’s deeply uncomfortable eyes.
Dudley’s eyes lit up.
The two men got together excitedly, and they talked as they walked, leaving her completely aside.
…
One afternoon, Matthew and Dudley were discussing the experimental product of fission reproduction.
The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became. Dudley said that he would give Matthew more mushrooms, and Matthew picked some of them and took them away.
In fact, he is also very interested in the cultivation process of magic mushrooms. Decomposition and fertilization alone are definitely not enough, and other abilities must be involved.
However, even Dudley needs the help of Hussman to complete this process.
Hussman was shocked by Matthew just now, and it may take several days before he can slowly accept him.
This is a pity for Matthew.
After all, it is impossible for them to stay on Eternal Isle for too long.
On the one hand, because the purpose of this trip is actual combat training, the encounter with Huang Yulong caused an accident in the itinerary. It stands to reason that the course should be temporarily interrupted and returned to the main material world;
On the other hand, they are not prepared for long-term plane travel, and their physical ability to adapt to the new plane is not enough.
The longer they stay here, the more they can feel the rejection from the inner plane.
This feeling is subtle but tangible.
After a long time, it will make people feel uncomfortable, and the mood will become very irritable.
Matthew knew that this was due to missing elements.
Whether it is the negative energy plane or the air element plane, the elements of these inner planes are relatively simple. If people in the main material world do not make relevant preparations in advance, their bodies will become weak due to the lack of elements.
Mood changes and bad feelings are the body’s alarm bells.
They can stay in the Inner Plane for at most three to five days.
But that’s the numerical limit.
They are not doing a survival challenge, so it is impossible to push the limit.
at dusk.
Huang Yulong Kelet went to the sea to prey and has not yet returned.
Matthew had to leave a farewell letter, promising to visit again next time.
Afterwards, he wrote down the plane coordinates of Eternal Island, and then, under Dudley’s reluctant gaze, flew away from the plane with Margaret.
They flew all the way towards the sixth ring land of the negative energy plane.
On the magic carpet.
Margaret said seriously:
“I still think that Dudley has a big problem. I can perceive that he is a legend, but I can’t see his level clearly.”
“This feeling is exactly the same as that of Lord Hussman.”
Matthew pondered:
“Do you doubt that Dudley has integrated with Hussman?”
“Probably!”
Margaret persuaded:
“It is really rare that there are still two souls even though they have been integrated into one body.
Judging from the rationality shown by Dudley, he should not be parasitized by the rot sac. The two parties may have a symbiotic relationship, but I can’t be sure of this. “
“In short, you must be careful when dealing with them.”
Matthew nodded solemnly.
He actually had similar feelings, but neither Hussman nor Dudley showed any malice towards him.
So he is willing to give the spore association a certain amount of trust.
Of course, this kind of trust is also based on keeping a precautionary heart.
“Thank you for your concern.”
Matthew thanked.
It is not difficult to see from the past few days that Margaret is actually a person without much scheming.
Her attitude towards people is also very honest. Apart from being a little poorer, she has no shortcomings.
Margaret adjusted her glasses:
“This is what it should be, who told you to be my student?”
Matthew smiled.
Margaret seemed to have misunderstood his smile, and immediately called out:
“Hey, don’t get me wrong, except for the need to play tricks in front of that old dragon, it is impossible between us.”
Matthew laughed outright.
But he still asked:
“Didn’t you clamor for me to take care of you every day?”
Margaret said seriously:
“One code for one code, that is a transaction relationship with clearly marked prices.
That kind of relationship is always time-limited, and it will be automatically terminated when the time is up.
I don’t want to be completely tied to others in my life, no matter how good a man is!
I am a woman who wants to become the strongest battle mage.
Don’t be bothered by worldly fetters. “
Matthew could feel that she was not joking, so he asked:
“Can you really become the strongest battle mage by purchasing the ability to spell?”
Margaret said earnestly:
“So I have been polishing my skills and trying to improve my abilities from other channels.
My project seems to be yellow, no one is willing to invest in my real alchemy, and my legendary path has been closed again.
But this level of setbacks is nothing more than a trivial matter in my life. After I finish the lesson for you, I plan to go to the Bloody Battle Plain to hone my skills—
Since the path of real alchemy is not going to work, let blood and fire hone my fighting skills.
Don’t look at me like this, I’m the most capable mage below legend in the league, and those demons and demons in the Bloody Battlefield are destined to become my stepping stones.
Maybe after I go to the **** battle plain, when you hear my name again, it will be the day when I enter the legend in the battle field! “
Matthew didn’t say much after listening quietly.
Just said “Come on”.
He can actually feel Margaret’s struggle. Due to the special way of rising, Suriel is both her mentor and her creditor, both her help and her obstacle.
Without Suriel, she might just be a mediocre mage.
But with Suriel, if she wants to go further, she may face suffering and torture that is ten thousand times more painful than being a mediocre mage.
Legendary Road is like this.
For most of the aborigines in this world, legends are out of reach.
Many people haven’t even found their own Legendary Way, and have been wandering outside it all their lives.
Even if people find the way of legend, how many people can stick to it to the end?
Even if you really persist to the end, not many people can get good results.
Matthew doesn’t know many people, and among them, there are many who are struggling for the legend.
Li Weiqi is a typical example. He has been stuck at level 20 for many years, but he cannot make any progress due to the disappearance of the dragon.
The same is true for Margaret. Fei Capital’s path is actually not suitable for her. She is not smart enough and lacks talent.
Even if she imitated Suriel everywhere in words and deeds, she only reaped the end of a project with bankrupt credit and no one to invest in.
Nourish the battle field with endless battles in the **** battle plain.
It may be her only way to enter the legend as a battle mage.
One thought of this.
Matthew said softly:
“Before you go to the **** battle plain, you’d better inform me.”
Margaret snorted with her little nose:
“What’s wrong?
Will you give me a ride?
It’s unnecessary. I’m going to the Bloody Battle Plain. I’ll definitely go there quietly and without fanfare.
This kind of thing can’t be publicized. If I die on a different plane, you just pretend that you don’t know me.
Also don’t claim that you learned your fighting skills from me, otherwise it would be embarrassing. “
Matthew was silent.
“Don’t think too much, I haven’t finished your class yet, besides, my creditors won’t let me die so easily.”
Margaret said lightly:
“Live smarter, Matthew.”
“Even if I really can’t come back from the Bloody Battle Plain, don’t feel sorry for me. No matter what, I can find my due destination, which is already better than many people.”
Infected by her optimism, Matthew asked with a smile:
“Is this also Margaret’s fighting philosophy?”
Margaret blinked:
“No, it’s a relief between friends.”
“I think we should be friends now.”
…
The process of returning to the main material world was uneventful.
The two were originally stowaways summoned by Xiao Bo, and they were naturally favored by gravity when traveling from the inside out.
So just three seconds later, they returned to the Crucible House.
Made an appointment with Margaret on the approximate time of the next practical class.
Matthew returned to the oak forest.
This actual combat training can be said to be full of rewards. In addition to enriching combat experience, the biggest harvest comes from Dudley’s mushrooms.
Matthew intends to grow some mushrooms in the woods, which can not only enrich the ecology of the woods, but also try to establish a real buffer zone in the middle of the two major ceremony venues.
After returning, he immediately found Obest and Argus and asked about the condition of the two mounts.
Mr. Centaur’s answer pleased Matthew.
The existence of the World Tree made Golden Pegasus quickly adapt to everything in the oak forest. He seems to be very attached to this land, and he probably won’t leave in the short term.
Black Warrior Argus reported:
“Nightmare also likes the cemetery, but his character is too wild, and the cemetery can’t keep him. He always sneaks into the dungeon outside the cemetery when I’m not paying attention. For half a day, it is very worrying.”
Matthew pondered:
“In this case, I’ll let Peggy watch him.”
Argus said helplessly:
“It was Ms. Paige who encouraged him to explore the nearby dungeon together!”
Matthew was silent.
Soon he found Peggy in the kitchen.
Peggy gleefully put on her apron as soon as she saw Matthew:
“What would you like to eat tonight?”
Matthew casually reported the names of a few dishes, and then asked with some embarrassment:
“I heard that you often go wandering around the nearby dungeons on the Red Flame Nightmare these two days?”
Peggy nodded:
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Matthew just wanted to say something.
There was a snap.
Peggy took out a fist-sized object from her apron and slapped it on the cutting board:
“I was just about to tell you. I went to the depths of the dungeon to pick up a lot of things and came back. Do you want this kind of thing? If not, I won’t go!”
Matthew stared at the thing intently.
The words to tell her not to run around stuck in her mouth.
…
「Hint: Your partner Peggy has submitted a piece of Mithril to you!」
…
“You seem to have something to tell me just now?”
Peggy looked at Matthew suspiciously while preparing to cook.
Matthew accepted the piece of mithril, coughed, and said seriously:
“Take A Bing with you when you go out next time.”
“Be careful not to bring potential enemies home.”
“And the most important point—
Next time you encounter something like this.
Remember to search the neighborhood clean. “
…
The next morning.
Matthew went to the Lord’s Mansion to catch fish as usual.
Zeller is not here today.
It is said that Gao Yeling’s side is turbulent. He went to Kaiwen Village on the border to check the situation.
The only people in the office are the restless Rhaegar and the depressed Matthew.
Regar’s uneasiness stemmed from Sif.
In order to find out what happened to Sif, he had to go back to hell.
At the moment, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of being close to home.
And Matthew’s mental atrophy comes from the ability in his mind that is about to be formed and has been stuck for a long time.
Under the effect of the potion, he only needed a short battle before he had the opportunity to directly awaken that ability.
However, after encountering Huang Yulong, things became uncontrollable.
Follow-up, although I also got a lot of benefits from the spore association.
But this ability is really stuck there.
Matthew tried most of the overnight last night.
But no matter what he does.
Things that can’t come out just can’t come out.
This inevitably frustrates him.
All morning, Matthew was yawning wildly.
Noon.
He intends to find a chance to slip away.
It turned out that Rhaegar didn’t take a nap today.
He walked out of the room, holding a small round shield in his hand, and came to Matthew’s office.
Rega said:
“I am about to go to purgatory, so I must be well prepared. I found this thing in my previous adventure bag. This thing is theoretically a magic immune shield, which can counteract all magic, but I am worried that it will fall into disrepair , the quality is degraded.”
“Come and help me test it?”
Matthew yawned lazily:
“Sorry Rhaegar, I’m not in a good shape today.”
“How about tomorrow? I will test it for you tomorrow.”
Rega discharges five gold coins:
“Paid.”
Matthew smiled helplessly:
“It’s not a matter of money or not. I seem to have a problem with my concentration today. I can’t seem to cast spells.”
Rega said displeasedly:
“You asked me to practice spells with you before, and I agreed every time.”
Matthew smiled wryly:
“It’s really not that I shirk and refuse to agree, it’s that I’m focused… Well, I’ll go to Mrs. Wesley for a cup of coffee, and try to see if you can find the feeling of casting a spell.”
Rega waved his hand:
“What coffee do you want…”
suddenly.
He lifted up his shield and shouted with a hideous face:
“Grandson!”
An indescribable anger broke out from Matthew’s heart.
He couldn’t help raising his hand, it was a malicious transformation!
Poof!
The white light hit the round shield that was said to be immune to magic.
Regar turned into a sheep with his shield and shield.
And at that moment.
Matthew’s eyes lighted up.
He suddenly felt it.
That thing in my head—
Out!
…
「Reminder: After a period of combat exploration, you have mastered the new ability “Battle Reflex”.
Battle Reflex: When you encounter a fixed crisis or an event that meets the conditions, you will save the time to think and use the corresponding spell or ability instinctively.
Spells or abilities used through combat reflexes are not subject to a daily use limit. “
…
Matthew looked at the goat on the ground with great excitement.
I wish I could pick him up and kiss him.
Unexpectedly, the problem that troubled him most of the night was solved in this way!
He just wanted to remove the Transfiguration for Rhaegar.
A weak voice came from the corridor:
“Matthew?”
“are u there?”
That was Sif’s voice.
…
