MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 193 Mother Desire and the Eagle Guard

  Chapter 193 The Mother of Desire and the Eagle-faced Guard

  …

  Margaret's news is shocking.

   On the one hand, Matthew was surprised by her powerful combat power, and she actually fought a real legend with a fifth-order body;

   On the other hand, Matthew also admires her stubbornness.

   It stands to reason.

  With the magic ability displayed by Margaret, it is really uncomfortable to fight, and escaping is definitely not a problem.

   But it turned out that she was beaten to the point of falling into a river of blood.

  This shows that she didn't want to run away at all.

From the beginning.

  She just wanted to make Luticia a stepping stone for her advanced legend.

   It's a pity that the legend of the Blood Banner family is not a water legend either.

   In the territory of the Blood Banner Kingdom, both parties suffered losses. In a sense, Margaret had already won, but the risks she faced next were much greater.

   Matthew is still very concerned about Margaret's situation.

   He unconsciously rubbed the dice in his hand.

suddenly think of:

   "Should I try the divination spell?"

   "Anyway, you can use the dice in advance to judge the success rate of the prophecy spell."

   Think and do it.

  Matthew threw the prophecy dice on the ground.

   The uneven muddy ground quickly gave the answer—

1 o'clock.

  Matthew's face darkened.

   "It must be because of the uneven ground!"

   So he pulled a piece of cardboard out of his bag, put it on the ground, and threw it again.

   This time the dice spun on the cardboard for a long time before gradually stopping.

   Yet the result is as true as ever.

   Still 1 point.

   "Forget it, it seems that the purpose of this dice is to tell me that prophecy spells are not for me."

  Matthew smiled wryly, and put away everything.

   Then he chatted with the Burrowing Owl couple in the cave for a while.

   Seeing Matthew's kind attitude and gentle tone, the two little guys dared to talk to him near the entrance of the cave.

   Soon Matthew learned that the burrowing owl couple were named Gugu and Jiji respectively.

  Mr. is Gugu, and wife is Jiji.

   And not long after.

  Matthew also realized that these two timid creatures and the nest of eggs were the first species to move into the oak forest before.

  Even earlier than Mr. Grouse.

   And when Matthew asked why they came here.

  Mr Burrowing Owl replied:

  "We heard that there is an oak forest in the north. The forest is safe and vast, there are no terrible predators, and there are countless small uninhabited caves, so we moved here with the mentality of giving it a try."

  Matthew curiously said:

   "Heard? Who said it?"

  Mr Burrowing Owl said:

  "Falling leaves and wind, we don't know when we can hear the whispers of falling leaves and wind, they can always bring us news from afar."

  Matthew instantly realized that these two burrowing owls were not simple.

  Can read the messages brought by fallen leaves and wind, which means that they have the innate potential to promote the soul of nature.

  The spirituality in them is very sufficient.

   Much stronger than the grouse.

   "That's right, if you don't have enough spirituality, you can't be attracted to the Sanctuary of Life so early."

   "In fact, the proportion of small animals with high spirituality attracted in the early stage of the Sanctuary of Life will be very high."

  Thinking of Matthew in this way, he was careful.

  He chatted enthusiastically with the Burrowing Owl couple.

   But in the process.

  Matthew also found that the wife of the burrowing owl seemed reluctant to talk to him.

   On the contrary, Mr. Burrowing Owl loves to share all kinds of knowledge with himself.

  The two chatted for a long time.

   And when Matthew left the Burrowing Owl's cave, words like this already appeared on the data bar——

  …

  「Hint: You and Mr. Owl are very speculative. After this conversation, you became real friends.

  You gain an animal companion.

  伱's tauren element +1. "

  …

   "Can this also add tauren?"

   Matthew was puzzled.

  The burrowing owl's wife chirped angrily from the cave:

   "I told you a long time ago that I was hungry, and you still talked to that man unclearly for a long time!"

   "Do you still have me in your heart?"

   Then there was a flurry of wildfire.

   Googu came out of the hole in embarrassment, making funny moves and looking for food.

  Matthew smiled dumbly.

  In his opinion, the spirituality of the burrowing owl's wife Jiji may be stronger.

   But it seems difficult to get along with.

  There is only one quota for the soul of nature.

   We'll see who it's for later.

   Night falls.

  A drow warrior carrying a large and small bag came out of the Moon Obscure Forest.

  When she came to the cemetery, she was taken aback by the lively scene in the cemetery.

   For a moment, Laila even suspected that she had gone to the wrong place!

  However, under the guidance of the mother of coolies, Miao Saqi, zombies are vigorously reclaiming the ground.

   And next to them are the corpses.

   Every time a hole is dug.

  The zombies clumsily stuffed the corpse in, and then hurriedly filled it.

  This process is actually not easy, but fortunately, the zombies work hard and are generally competent.

   Zombies bury the dead.

   This scene is already bizarre enough.

  However, when Leila was carrying the luggage brought back from Cordo City, she passed the workshop area.

   I was stunned by the bustling working atmosphere inside.

  But I saw that the prisoners were making hot glue very consciously.

  In the blink of an eye, the raw materials running like an assembly line turned into bottles of semi-finished products in their hands.

   After being processed by those arsonists, it became a perfect blazing glue.

   Their movements are very skilled, and it can be seen that they are already skilled workers.

   What struck Leila most was their work ethic.

   "As expected of Lord Matthew, these evil criminals are willing to correct their ways and work hard to make progress under his command."

   Laila felt very emotional.

  Inadvertently, she ran into ghosts salivating next door and Argus, the black warrior who was on patrol, hungry for the flesh of the arsonists.

   She seemed to understand something.

   Until the middle of the night.

  Matthew led another batch of dead to the cemetery from the village of Golden Fertile Field.

   After handing over the new dead to Mouszaqi.

   Matthew was pleasantly surprised to find the shadow swearer, the president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce, who was waiting quietly.

"How about it?"

   Matthew said hello.

  Laila smiled shyly:

   "It went well."

   Then she handed over to Matthew the commodities contained in the large and small bags of luggage, the underwater breathing potion in the storage props, as well as the payment and account book for receiving the goods in Kordo City.

   Matthew wasn't in a hurry to check these out.

   Instead, he took Laila to his studio and sat for a while.

  The two chatted about what she had seen and heard about her trip to the south.

   "So most of the rainforest is closed?"

  Matthew handed over a glass of milk.

   Lyra took the milk but didn't drink it:

   "Yes, at least three-quarters of the rainforest we passed through was blocked.

  I guess it's the rainforest soul's self-preservation measures—

  Large tracts of thorns wrap the rainforest layer by layer, and only a small number of aborigines can pass through these thorns.

   When I passed by, I found some outsiders.

  They come from Zeshui City or some small settlements in the northwest,

  These people all showed serious symptoms of voodoo curse when they approached the rainforest. I suspect that something happened in the rainforest recently, which forced the soul of the rainforest to take more extreme measures to counter it.

   Fortunately, I was not targeted by the soul of the rainforest, and I arrived at the Gold Coast relatively smoothly.

   As for Cordo City, a lot has happened since we left.

  I inquired secretly, and the biggest thing was that Yu Lian united many forces inside and outside the city to force the original lord of Kordo City to step down, and then he himself became the new lord of Kordo City.

  During this period, Cordo City experienced several turmoil, and the shops of the Oak Chamber of Commerce were forced to close for a long time.

   Fortunately, our products are indeed in short supply on the Gold Coast, and they became hot sales soon after they were put on the shelves.

  Sulfur Essence is the fastest selling;

   Followed by the Ice Storm Scroll and the Dust of Development;

  Green herbal medicine is general;

  The most unmarketable thing is the sword oil you forced on me. "

  Matthew smiled helplessly, and didn't explain too much about the origin of the sword oil.

   "Yu Lian became the lord of Kordo City? That fat man didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

he asks.

  Laila shook her head:

   "Yu Lian still respects you on the surface, and the operation of the Oak Chamber of Commerce has not been affected.

  But secretly, I still felt something was wrong, so I fired the clerk he had recruited for us.

  After that, I found two mixed Jango people to take charge of the security and sales of the store temporarily.

   Their abilities may not be as strong as those introduced by Yu Lian, but they are more reliable.

  I've thought about it carefully. Our products don't need very sophisticated promotion skills. The scarcity itself is enough to attract a large number of customers.

   Most of the time our shelves are empty.

   Rather than open every day, it is better to open regularly. "

   Speaking of which.

  She said with some trepidation:

   "Sorry for replacing the clerk without reporting to you."

  Matthew shook his head:

   "You are the president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce. I may have promised you before that your salary will be highly related to the profits of the Chamber of Commerce. I believe that you will do your best and make decisions that are in the interests of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Yu Lian is indeed not such an easy guy to deal with. He is an out-and-out careerist and conspirator. It is normal to be wary of him. If I were to do the same, you did a great job. In addition, you can think of more The appropriate business strategy also impresses me.”

   Facing Matthew's blatant compliment, Laila seemed a little overwhelmed.

   He just pursed his lips, trying to suppress a less obvious smile.

   Then Matthew counted the accounts and cash.

   This trip back and forth, Leila brought back 6,000 gold coins in cash, 30,000 gold coins to purchase underwater breathing potions, and some local products of Cordo City.

   Among them, this batch of underwater breathing medicine will be sold at the trading station. Assuming everything goes well, it is estimated that about 240,000 gold coins will be returned!

  In addition, there are goods with a market value of about 12,000 in the shops in Kordo City that are slowly selling.

   Follow the current cycle speed.

  Just two or three more trips with Lyra.

  The assets of the Oak Chamber of Commerce will rapidly expand to more than one million!

certainly.

   Matthew also knew that this rate of expansion was unsustainable.

  In fact, this batch of underwater breathing medicine is enough for the southern market to digest for a long time.

  If it is cleared at one time, the price will be lowered soon, after all, the market demand and purchasing power are there.

   But Matthew is not in a hurry.

  The framework of the Oak Chamber of Commerce has been set up, and then you can try reselling other varieties.

   Even get involved in the operation of some low-profit but larger-scale commodities.

  In this case, you may need to build your own caravan.

  As long as Matthew doesn't completely fall out with Luna.

   This pattern can continue.

  This is the unique advantage of the Oak Chamber of Commerce.

   And Leila also reported some business difficulties that she foresees:

   "When I bought this batch of underwater breathing potions, it has already triggered a trend of rising prices for underwater breathing potions in Kordo City."

   "In addition, the Naga civil war is not over yet, and the Gold Coast's underwater breathing potions will be in short supply for a while. Unless we can find a more stable source of supply, the cost of future purchases may increase exponentially."

  Matthew nodded.

  The dilemma of second-hand dealers is here. It is easy to make quick profits in the early stage, but the difficulty lies in how to maintain this profit-making efficiency.

   Of course Matthew is fully prepared for this.

   In terms of demand, he plans to advertise to Strom City, Jade Cangting, White Rock City and even Deep Blue Harbor.

  Especially on the east coast, where the demand for high-quality underwater breathing potions is higher.

  As long as the reputation is established, there will be no need to worry about a stable source of customers.

   In terms of procurement, Matthew is only planning to make up for it by letting Laila travel to a few cities on the Gold Coast.

  If he wants to solve the problem fundamentally, he has to go to the Gold Coast again to seek in-depth cooperation with Naga.

   But business is not his main business.

   Guarantee the healthy and sound operation of the Oak Chamber of Commerce, and provide a certain amount of financial guarantee for your tree planting business.

  What is more important to him right now is learning and planting trees.

  Looking at the constantly surging numbers on the books.

  Matthew suddenly felt a little emotional.

   "In a maximum of three months, the number above will exceed 200,000. I don't know how Lumiere will feel when he sees this?"

   "I don't know where he has gone north now, I hope he won't be tricked into mining again."

  After initially counting the goods and cash.

   Matthew told Laila to rest.

  He arranged a long vacation for Laila—the market needs time to digest these high-level magic items, and people also need time to rest.

   Matthew had no intention of using Lyla as a donkey.

   Running back and forth three to four times a year is the limit he expected.

  The only thing that made Matthew feel a little embarrassed was.

  Laila came back late at night and had to live in a house in the town. The cemetery was too crowded.

  Though Lyra had no problem with that.

   Matthew also felt that it was time to expand the cemetery a second time!

   After just two or three hours of rest.

   Early the next morning.

  Matthew went to the Crucible House with sleepy eyes.

   Then teleported to Suril's Crystal Palace.

  The result made him a little disappointed.

   Outside the Crystal Palace, he was shut out.

  It seems that Suriel didn't exaggerate before, and it is true that the magician can't see it whenever he wants to.

   Matthew wanted to use the pretext of repayment to talk to Suriel and inquire about Margaret's situation, but now it seems impossible.

  When he tried to mention that he needed more reinforcement.

  The cat in charge of reception told him coldly:

   "Prepare more than one million gold coins, I will make an appointment for you."

   Matthew had to leave silently.

   But on the way back to the Crucible House, Matthew received a piece of good news.

  Mechanical dwarf David told him that the second group of visiting mages will arrive in Rolling Stone Town at the end of August.

  He can make a lot of money when he is introduced.

   But at the same time, this also means that the official launch of the S-level project that Matthew uses to make big pies is getting closer.

  In order to comprehensively solve the cancer of the scar of the dead.

  Matthew must work hard to improve his own strength, and at the same time take into account the toughness of professional topics.

  This made Matthew's burden a little heavier.

  The next period of time.

  Matthew’s three daily items have been upgraded to six daily items, and the new items are—

   drive corpse;

  Basic skills (including learning spells);

   Further research on Scar of the Dead;

besides.

  Matthew also recorded two major events on his July schedule. The first one is the "Potato Dog Fighting Contest" on July 17th.

   This is the only traditional event held in Rolling Stone during the summer.

   As the name suggests.

  The content of the activity is dog fighting.

  Any family with a bulldog in Rolling Stone can sign up.

  The event got its name because the winner of the first dogfight was rewarded with a wagonload of potatoes.

  The rewards for the winners of the next few sessions have become more and more generous.

   In addition to the essential potatoes.

  City Hall also makes trophies and distributes bonuses.

  Matthew didn't think about participating in the dog fighting competition.

   Instead, Rhaegar placed the annual awarding of outstanding citizens before the dog fighting competition.

   It's just that in the past few years, Rolling Stone Town has not had any real outstanding citizens born.

   This year is different.

  Matthew will become the first substantial recipient of this award since its establishment.

   And this link is actually Rhaegar trying to dispel the residents' gossip and various stereotypes about Matthew.

  Matthew naturally couldn't neglect.

   At least let the residents feel at ease.

   And another thing is in late July.

   That was the most difficult time for the hot summer.

   Rolling Stone Town will welcome Sif's sixteenth birthday, which is also her coming-of-age ceremony.

   And about the selection of Sif's birthday present.

   Matthew also has a headache recently.

   This is just a big deal.

  A series of small things are densely written on the calendar, and Matthew's life is naturally very fulfilling.

   Time passed like running water.

   Entering mid-July, the entire Rolling Stone Town seems to be placed on top of an oven, and the oak trees are rolled up by the sun.

   Only the cemetery is always refreshing.

  Sif's awakening was already coming to an end, so it stands to reason that Rhaegar should plan to move back.

   But judging from his tone these days, he didn't mention it at all.

   Matthew is also happy to see it happen.

   After all, Rega has to pay to live here for a long time. Matthew can get a discount on the accommodation fee, but the food and beverage expenses—

  Peggy has the final say!

   After dinner this day.

  Matthew came for a walk in the oak forest. Ollie, who had always been shy and not in contact with others, was close to his shoulder, rubbing Matthew's cheek with her soft mane from time to time.

  The wind in the forest at night is still extremely hot.

   can be vaguely between.

  Matthew smelled a strong odor from the wind.

  This taste is quite strong, with obvious recognition and subtle pungency.

   Matthew put one hand on Ollie's body and slowed down his pace.

  He closed his eyes and quietly felt the source of the smell.

  But it was suddenly discovered that it came from all directions.

  A familiar feeling came to my heart.

  Matthew closed his eyes with experience.

   That moment.

  He saw two frogs embracing each other in a small puddle 300 meters away;

  In the grass on the left, crickets are making loud noises;

  In the oak forest, fireflies soared up, and the male fireflies tried hard to show their light, sending out strong courtship signals;

   And 500 meters away, Mr. Grouse is riding another shorter fellow, the scene is full of vitality!

   Whoosh.

  All the visions gathered in Matthew's mind instantly.

  The slight throbbing tugged at his heartstrings.

  Data bar.

  …

  「Reminder: Your ritual field "Life Sanctuary" has recruited another batch of species to settle in, and the current species prosperity of the oak forest is 13.

In early summer, there is an amazing reproduction symphony going on in your domain of oak trees. Due to your accumulation in the domain of oak trees, you not only get a third chance to explore the domain of oak trees, but also enter another sub-domain of nature "Reproduction".

   In return for getting involved in the field, you will get one of the following three abilities—

  1. Vitality (you can slightly increase the mating rhythm of the animals in the domain, and increase the reproduction speed of the corresponding species)

  2. Mother of Desire (You can make a target blinded by desire for a short time, turning into a beast that only knows how to reproduce and estrus, available three times a day)

  3. Cut off children and grandchildren (you can make a target permanently lose the ability to reproduce; you can use this ability on up to ten targets)”

  …

   Field of reproduction.

   This is a rather special subfield, which is the intersection of the natural field and the life field.

  Matthew didn't expect that he could actually control the reproductive domain horizontally through the oak tree domain.

   This is a very commendable leap.

   And among the three abilities.

  Matthew first ruled out the vitality, the effect of this ability is relatively general, and the sanctuary of life itself has such an effect.

  Forcing a certain area to flourish is, to a certain extent, against the will of nature.

  So this ability is actually quite tasteless.

   As for cutting off children and grandchildren.

   It looks quite bluffing, but when you think about it carefully, it’s just that, it’s equivalent to a curse with very low income.

  Matthew is not the kind of guy who likes to hurt people secretly.

   So he finally chose the mother of desire.

  This ability can be used as a control ability, similar to the effect of the cough staff.

   But just after he selected.

   This ability has a new change.

  …

  「Hint: You have acquired the new ability "Mother of Desire".

  The effect of the spell you have mastered (from the pink chapter of the spell book) has been tripled!

   In return for stepping into the realm, you also get a permanent status "Reproductive Penetration".

  Reproductive Penetration: Your genetic material has strong penetrative characteristics. When you reproduce with different species, you will gain the ability to break through reproductive barriers.

   That is, you can create a series of races of your own. "

  …

   This permanent state.

   Matthew can only say a few words.

  He's not a giant dragon, why is he always thinking about creating his own race?

  After withdrawing from the field of reproduction.

  Matthew was then inspired by another force.

  At this moment, he adjusted his mind, allowing that force to drag his soul into that mysterious and vast world.

   After a few seconds.

  As soon as Matthew opened his eyes, he saw the annoying face of the eagle-faced man.

  He stared at Matthew indifferently:

   "You can't enter here..."

   But he didn't finish his sentence.

  Matthew slammed into him:

   "Fuck you!"

  …

  「Reminder: You have entered the "Oak Tree Domain" for the third time!

  You had a violent friction with the domain guardian "Eagle Face Guard"..."

  …
