A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

That person asked,

"Who are you working for now?"

The Sphinx answered honestly,

"Lord Matthew."

The man nodded.

"Us too.

" If there is such a situation, Lord Matthew orders us to steal a treasure, and that treasure happens to be guarded by you. Can you refuse Lord Matthew's order?"

The Sphinx looked troubled.

He did not answer for a long time.

That person reminded him,

"I heard the Sphinx had to be honest?"

The Sphinx answered with difficulty,

"I can't."

The arsonist clapped his hands and laughed.

"If that's the case, aren't you the same as us?

"According to this logic, our jobs are indeed similar!"

The Sphinx was stunned.

Then, he fell into deep thought.

..

Outside the Rogue Courtyard.

Peggy stopped Matthew, who was about to walk past her.

" I'm planning to hold a hide-and-seek contest today. All the units in the cemetery can participate. Do you want to join us?"

Her tone was filled with anticipation.

Matthew smiled.

"This is my cemetery. I know every detail here, like the back of my hand. It's too unfair for me to participate."

"But I can be the referee."

Beside him, Chuka jumped on the spot and turned into a white cat in an instant.

She flopped on the spot a few times, then bared her fangs and brandished her claws and said,

"Then I'll be a cat!

"Eh?

"Why didn't you hide?

"Didn't you say this is a hide-and-seek?"

While Peggy was explaining the rules of the game to Chukka.

Matthew quickly slid away.

However, as soon as he went down to the second floor, he bumped into Little Patton, who was carrying a heavy accessory bag and had a charred face.

When the latter saw Matthew, he danced excitedly.

"Hey, Matthew, I was just looking for you!

"I've settled it!"

Matthew hesitated and said,

"What did you settle?

"Wait, what happened to your face?"

Little Patton waved his hand indifferently.

"I was just electrocuted.

"I'm already used to it. I'll return to normal after wiping it with some snow.

" Let's get down to business. I've gotten the electric lights from Bigfoot City!"

As he spoke, he pulled Matthew to the huge tombstone.

The tombstone was inlaid with white astral crystals, surrounded by groups of exposed copper wires.

Several strings of light bulbs hung from the copper wire and crystal terminal.

And the source of it was a black suitcase.

" I couldn't make the electric light shine steadily before. The fundamental reason was the frequency of energy transmission.

"I've checked the runes. There's nothing wrong with them.

" The problem lies in the energy supply. I realized that the demon's heart is too extravagant for small-scale power supply, and the energy output from the demon's heart is unstable. It's sometimes strong and sometimes weak. I guess the Storluk Industry must have hidden some energy stabilization and conversion technology. Unfortunately, we didn't get this technology last time, but it's okay.

I've found a new function!

" That is to replace the heart of a supreme demon with the heart of a devil!

" I've done some research. The hearts of demons are more stable and durable than the hearts of demons. Because they are born with strong Order attributes, their output frequency is abnormally stable.

"Look, there's a small inferior demon's heart inside…"

At this point.

Instead, Little Patton excitedly pushed open an electric switch at the side.

With a click.

An electric current flowed through his body.

He let out a strange cry and let go of his hand. His hair suddenly stood up, and his face was even darker than before.

Silently.

Beams of light bloomed from the tombstone!

At that moment.

The entire underground tomb was illuminated as if it was daytime.

"I did it!"

Little Patton waved his fist excitedly.

Matthew also revealed a surprised and gratified expression.

Previously, the lighting in the underground space still relied on torches or glowing gems and fungi.

These light sources were not stable.

Moreover, the brightness was too different from that of an electric lamp.

Even though Matthew had high-quality candles and Mage Fire as support, he had no choice but to admit it.

Little Patton's electric light was more comfortable and pleasant.

The light illuminated everything.

For a moment.

Many of the undead who were active nearby were attracted over and pointed at the light source on the tombstone.

"Congratulations!"

"How many sets of light bulbs can a small demon's heart power at the same time?"

"How long can it last?"

" Is this plan feasible to promote?"

"Can we produce this kind of light bulb ourselves?"

" There are also astral white crystals and copper wires used to transmit electricity. Do you think Rolling Stone Town has the ability to build such a factory?"

"Other than lighting, this bio-energy can also be used for other purposes, right?"

Matthew asked more than a dozen application questions in one breath.

Little Patton patted his head after listening.

"I've memorized all these questions. I'll study them in two days.

"Now, I have to go home for the holidays!

" I've been staying in your cemetery for the past few days. My mom thought I fell in love with a zombie. Hahaha.

"I can't let her be sad anymore!

" After all, she was sad about her other son just last week.

"My stupid brother, Blake, actually proposed to my mother that he would marry the little widow from the private winery outside the town.

"The reason was that he had already slept with her and had to be responsible for her.

"Our mother was furious.

"Please, he was now the second-in-line heir to the Rolling Stone Kingdom!

"Speaking of which, that little widow was quite awesome, right?

"She had already taken the second and third heirs in bed.

"Unfortunately, it was not convenient for Sif.

"Why don't I introduce you to her?"

Matthew rolled his eyes.

Little Patton laughed.

"I was just joking.

" Happy Winter Festival, Matthew.

"By the way, do you mind if I take one of your scarves?"

..

He bid farewell to Little Patton.

Matthew walked into the workshop.

He closed the door.

The surroundings became completely silent.

He came to the table and continued his studies from last night.

Under his relentless efforts.

These days, Matthew's progress in the domain of necromancy, especially in soul knowledge, could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Every time he finished reading a piece of information, he felt that his understanding of this world had deepened.

This feeling fascinated him.

During this process.

He once again experienced Isabelle's help to him.

The near-infinite amount of knowledge points meant that the precious knowledge of the Alliance was completely available to him.

This was something completely inconceivable to other mages.

They had to accumulate enough knowledge points to be able to buy a piece of knowledge.

But Matthew was different.

He did not have any concerns in this regard.

Therefore, he only needed to focus on learning.

He was able to focus on learning.

In most eras, it was a very blissful thing.

An hour later.

Matthew closed the information in front of him.

"The general framework has been established…

" The deep contract has been completed. I can also achieve the soul separation state required to sign the deep contract through the soul projection ability.

" The temporary carriers of the contract are the Rand Demon's scalp and the blank tombstone from the troll's underground palace. Both of them are solid enough to withstand the energy of the deep contract.

"Next, I need to make a Horcrux and equip it with a punishment item."

Matthew thought as he wrote down his plan.

He was now 90% confident that he could control the War God's soul fragment.

The rest was fine.

He still needed to go through another test.

"Who should I practice with first?"

Matthew stroked his chin and pondered.

However, at this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from above his head!

Matthew hurried to the surface.

On the barren land in the north, where the snow was originally covering, a mechanical giant the size of a small mountain suddenly appeared!

The red paint on the giant's surface was so eye-catching in the white snow!
