The spirit of nature is both conservative and open!
Looking at the shyly flying away Ella, Matthew was filled with emotions.
He returned to the cabin and recorded his conversation with the goddess in the form of handwritten notes. Although he could exempt the Enigma Lock of intelligence, Matthew was not 100% sure that he would not be disturbed.
In the following days.
Matthew's tree planting business slowed down a bit.
In the past month, he had planted a total of 452 trees, which was simply incredible in the past.
And to achieve such efficiency, Ella's contribution was indispensable.
Without her germinating the seeds day and night, plus Matthew mastering the "Rapid Growth" spell, the results of this month would not have been so significant.
Theoretically speaking.
The suitable seasons for tree planting in Rolling Stone Town are only March, April, May, and October every year, and Matthew should go all out.
However, unfortunately, the saplings in the greenhouse are almost exhausted - the oak seeds Matthew bought last ti indeed had problems. Many seeds could not be saved even by Ella, the spirit of nature. After that, the rchant Jeff never appeared in the market of Rolling Stone Town again.
No one in the town usually goes to the Guardian Heights, and for a while, Matthew lost the source of seeds.
He took the ti to commission another rchant to help bring goods, but when he could get the goods was unknown.
The logistics of this world is ultimately too inefficient.
On the other hand, there are still many things in front of Matthew, such as advancing, and building a cetery.
In the underground cave.
Silver moon zombies are wandering unconsciously.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
A few crows flew from sowhere, daring to peck at the rotten flesh on the zombies. As a result, they were blocked by the "Tree Skin" spell.
The crows persisted for a while, but they couldn't eat the at, so they flew away in disappointnt.
Deep in the cave.
Several figures are still busy.
"Yes, just nail it here, thank you for your hard work!"
Mage's fire and torches together illuminated a corner.
The shadows on the wall were looming.
Under Matthew's command, several mbers of the Guard Unit gathered the last circle of fences against the wall, and erected a wooden sign sprayed with red paint outside the fence.
The sign read -
Find the original at " pa𝑤read ".
"Matthew's Cetery (Beware of Zombies!)"
After Matthew personally set up several alarm traps, the general range of the cetery was defined.
The cave where the cetery is located was originally an abandoned underground mine.
There are several passages around leading to the depths of the earth.
To prevent complications, Matthew not only set up warning signs around the cetery, but also blasted those passages.
In this way, the cetery, except for a few paths leading to the surface oak forest, beca a closed underground space.
Matthew's zombies and skeletons will move freely here.
Although there are no single rooms.
But it's much more spacious than the previous undead dormitory.
"When I co back from Baiyan City, I will plant a whole circle of 'Underworld Acacia' near the fence. By then, the negative energy in the cetery will have a chance to circulate automatically."
After giving a small tip, he sent away the mbers of the Guard Unit who helped with the construction.
Matthew stood at the edge of the fence, thinking.
Behind him were the sparse shadows of the undead.
This scene would only seem horrifying to others.
But for the accustod Necromancer, it exudes an indescribable beauty.
"But the seeds of Underworld Acacia are not cheap, ah, indeed, no matter which era, it's hard to move without money."
Matthew shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Underworld Acacia is a plant that grows in the underworld, like the phantom butterfly, it feeds on negative energy. The difference is that when the undead are active at night, the Underworld Acacia will release a certain amount of negative energy to promote the circulation of negative energy here. Only during the day will they absorb a small amount of negative energy needed for growth.
The biggest advantage of this plant is that it does not need sunlight, just water, and can be planted underground.
Once the cetery is full of Underworld Acacia.
The negative energy here will almost not leak out.
By then, Matthew plans to add so things that the undead like in the cetery: coffins, shrouds, negative energy spring water, bulk bones, ropes, saws, rot bag plants...
Matthew's goal is to turn this place into a miniature negative energy plane!
In the future.
He even wants to integrate the two large ecosystems of the surface and the underground into a closed loop that can circulate each other.
He even thought of the na of the related field.
"Call it 'Ecosystem'!"
"Aindor seems to have no such field. When I am promoted to legend and can create my own field, the ecosystem may beco a new field of higher rank, covering 'Oak' and 'Undead'."
"Now my body carries two ways of legend, I must find a way to cover or rule them, even if I can't do this, at least I have to balance them."
Just as Matthew was leaning against the wooden sign and daydreaming.
Suddenly, there was a sound of rolling stones from the depths of the cave.
Matthew's heart tightened.
That was the direction of the tunnel he had collapsed earlier!
Before he could rally the undead,
A shiny bald head popped out from the tunnel.
Upon seeing Matthew,
The bald man was also taken aback:
"We et again, um, Matthew, right?"
Matthew looked at Li Witchy in surprise:
"Mr. Li, what are you doing?"
Li Witchy rubbed his hands, sowhat embarrassed:
"These past few days, I've been tracking the underground creatures by their scent, and I've destroyed three of their nests, but they still managed to escape. Two days ago, I fought with a group of newly awakened Claw Beasts, almost got chased into the territory of the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish, and ended up back where I started."
"When I got close to the surface, I unfortunately lost my way and had to make a path in an unconventional way."
Matthew quickly walked over.
He found that a passage just wide enough for one person to pass through had appeared where the collapse had occurred!
The surrounding area was littered with rubble.
Matthew was sowhat taken aback:
"Mr. Li, did you dig this cave with your bare hands?"
Li Witchy said enthusiastically:
"Don't call Mr. Li, call Li Witchy, or just Li."
"As for the cave, of course not by hand, I used 'Qi'."
Qi?
Matthew had heard of it.
He knew it was a transcendent energy cultivated by monks, with properties vastly different from mana.
"Li, I noticed that your Qi seems a bit different."
Matthew recalled the dragon chant that ca from behind him when he was confronting the enemy that day, and couldn't help but ask another question.
According to his knowledge, ordinary monks couldn't emit a dragon chant.
And Li Witchy's job suffix was "Dragon Sect mber", which ant he was also special among monks.
"Indeed." Li Witchy didn't avoid the question, but introduced generously:
"The 'Dragon Temple' I took my vows in belongs to a special branch of the monk faction. We not only cultivate Qi, but also strive to simulate the forms of transcendent life in the universe with Qi. The dragon is just one of them. In the Dragon Temple, there are also monks who simulate deep-sea whales and sky snakes.
Because of this simulation, our Qi often carries different qualities and attributes.
Compared to ordinary monks, our cultivation is more difficult. We not only have to follow the precepts and cultivate our sense of Qi, but also track the transcendent creatures we simulate when necessary."
At this point,
A bitter smile appeared on his face:
"This path has its pros and cons. Simulating transcendent life gives us stronger combat abilities, but if this transcendent life no longer appears in this plane, we almost permanently lose the possibility of advancent."
Matthew was taken aback by his words: "So these years…"
Li Witchy said cheerfully:
"So these years I've been running around outside, hoping to find traces of the creature I'm simulating. Unfortunately, it hasn't shown up in the mortal world since it left a claw mark in the Dragon Temple two hundred years ago. I suspect it has left this plane."
Matthew couldn't help but ask:
"What is that creature?"
Li Witchy said a rare word in standard Common:
"Curled-up dragon."
"It's a unique dragon that was active in the Eastern Continent in ancient tis. It's different from the five-colored dragons, tal dragons, or rare dragons of Ainduo. The Curled-up dragon is an older, more powerful true dragon!"
"In the records of the Dragon Temple, the Curled-up dragon was a legend from birth, possessing the power of a high-level legend or even a god after maturity. I understood Qi because of its claw mark, but I've been hesitating because I can't find more traces of it."
"Perhaps, this is fate."
A dragon from the Eastern Continent?
Matthew was startled and blurted out:
"Do you know about the Su Kingdom?"
Li Witchy looked at Matthew in surprise:
"You also know about the most famous kingdom in the history of the Eastern Continent?"
Matthew was puzzled: "In history?"
Li Witchy nodded:
"I've traveled in the Endless Ocean and near the western coast, and t so of the Su people who were stranded there. They told that there was once a very powerful empire on the Eastern Continent, but it was destroyed over a thousand years ago.
Because of the destruction of the empire, you can see so Su tribes along the long coastline of the Arune Sea and the surrounding islands. Their ancestors ca across the sea on huge tower ships hundreds of years ago and settled in Ainduo. Now they only retain the facial features of the Su people, and most of them have integrated into the local life."
Destroyed a thousand years ago?
Matthew was puzzled.
If what Li Witchy said was true,
What about the tower ship that Samantha encountered in her childhood?
Matthew wanted to ask more,
But Li Witchy was already laughing:
"Do you plan to let the zombies and skeletons watch our conversation?"
Matthew quickly led him away from the cetery.
Walking in the oak forest,
Li Witchy closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes,
His face was also full of curiosity."Did you personally plant this entire oak forest? It's incredible. I can feel the oaks' affection for you, and your natural affinity. Heh, even as a Monk, I don't receive such a warm welco from the forest."
"But you're clearly a Necromancer, and you've even built a graveyard. Wait, are you planning to follow the path of the Su people, the path of balance between life and death?"
A thought struck Matthew:
"The path of balance of the Su people? Can you elaborate?"
Li Witchy replied seriously:
"I can, but everything has a price."
Matthew nodded:
"Whatever you want, just say it."
Li Witchy blinked:
"Give a drink of water, thank you."
