……

The "Slack Gloves" are an interesting curiosity.

It does not directly provide combat power.

But if used properly.

The value of this glove may even exceed that of all other items combined.

Its negative defects are also acceptable.

Just throw it in the corner when you don't need it.

Organize the loot by category.

While Matthew lamented Finn's wealth, he also secretly reminded himself:

"With so many magic props, it's cold before you have a chance to use them, so it can be seen that whenever you fight with others, no matter how well you prepare, there is a risk of sudden death."

Matthew is a risk-averse man, and even he has a slight weariness with fighting-

At least for now, he is willing to avoid most of the battles that can be avoided.

If it weren't for the presence of arsonists and sorcerers that threatened his development resources, and he had a bone dragon walking sideways below the fifth order in his hand, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack.

But he also knows it.

Blindly avoiding war will not solve all problems.

Therefore.

How to protect yourself in future battles has become a top priority.

"No matter what kind of battle, the core principle must be 'stay alive', and only by staying alive can there be output! From another point of view, as long as you live, even if you are dying, there is still hope of fighting with all your strength and surviving in a desperate situation! ”

Recall the two battles of tonight.

Matthew summed up the experience carefully.

The first combat philosophy he set for himself was "survival first".

As for how to apply this concept in practice, there are many details.

Combined with Finn's way of dying.

Matthew puts "Beware of Violent Death" at the top of the list!

Any crispy profession carries a risk of sudden death.

Because this world is full of strange second methods.

Archmage Ronan once gave Matthew a book called "The Death of a Mage", which recorded the violent deaths of 99 famous mages in history.

The last page of the book reads-

……

"If you still feel that the author is making a big fuss after reading this, then you are likely to be the 100th spellcaster to pay with his life for arrogance."

……

Maybe it's influenced by this book.

Archmage Ronan is a great admirer of the "Garcia's Armor" series of spells.

However, Matthew felt at this time.

Spell armor is useful, but too one-sided.

Combined with the gaming experience of a previous life.

He mentally 'set' three key attributes to highlight.

……

"Strength & Immunity & Will"

……

Tenacity is a fundamental attribute of resistance to most negative states and means of control.

The benefits of high tenacity are incredible.

If tonight's sorcerer is replaced by a cultivator of the Sword Saint Path, Xiao Boil's dragon power will probably be easily exempted by the latter, even if the bone dragon is still a cut above the level, the fight must be won by Matthew's side, but the battle process will definitely not be so smooth.

This is the most intuitive embodiment of the value of resilience.

"If a thief tries to sneak up on me, I have a sense of blindness and can be invisible; But if the other party also has a deterrent method similar to Long Wei, I'm afraid I can only sit and wait for death! ”

As soon as I thought of this situation.

Matthew had a kinship.

……

'Immunity' is a key attribute in the fight against microbial parasitism, bacterial fungal infections, and voodoo curses;

The 'will' is more of a role in the fight against soul shock inspections;

According to Matthew's current development model, there is no need to worry too much about the "will" for the time being, the necromancer's meditation will naturally increase the will slowly.

"Immunity" is too unpopular, and he usually uses putrefaction spores to shade others, as long as he is careful, he will not overturn in the gutter.

Only "tenacity" is not easy to come by.

Exercising your body can only make a small difference.

……

"Maybe the ability on the druid's side has the means to increase tenacity, but it really doesn't work, if you can make a wilderness transformation with a high tenacity value, you can also do it."

"I remember there were also some low-level passive spells that could increase tenacity a little bit......"

……

It's been a long time.

Matthew took a break from the constant self-summary.

Open the taskbar.

The spell "Rapid Growth" has already been initiated, and with his current mana, it can be used about 10 times a day, which is definitely a big help for the great cause of planting trees.

The other reward is a bit confusing.

……

"Admission ticket to the Moonlight Association (consumables)

Description: With this ticket, you can enter the second plane where the Moonlight Society is located in the wilderness or woods on a full moon night, with the help of a Nature Spirit."

……

Matthew knew that the Moonlight Society was an existence similar to the Druid School of Sorcery.

But does it really work if you take it yourself?

Even if a nature spirit is willing to help him enter the door, wouldn't he really be beaten up if he broke in as a necromancer?

"Try it? What if my "natural affinity" works? ”

He didn't expect much.

And below the taskbar.

The Tai Chi symbol has changed quite a bit.

……

The gray energy on the left skyrocketed and jumped to about 3/4 of the position;

And the green energy on the right side is only a little short of being full.

Follow Matthew's previous experience.

It should be enough to plant four or five trees.

Expect the changes after the energy is full.

Following.

Matthew got up early in the morning and went to work in the oak grove.

However, after half a day, several trees were planted, and the energy rose to the fullest, but the expected change did not come.

This made Matthew think in disappointment:

"Does it require other conditions to trigger, or does it simply take time to continue accumulating?"

He didn't dwell on it for long.

Planting trees is his job anyway.

With 10 XP per oak tree, he's content.

……

In the afternoon, Matthew went to Shalfer College and the Sheriff's Office.

The former went to the principal's office to ask for leave, and the latter went to Brad to explain the matter of the farm.

The matter of asking for leave went very well, Matthew was originally a relation, and the principal not only agreed quickly, but also pulled him to ask for warmth.

And for Brad's side, at least judging by the reactions of others, he did a good job of secrecy.

The vigilante greeted Matthew as usual, and it didn't seem like they were associating Matthew with the necromancer from last night.

The two had a long conversation in the morgue.

……

"You don't know how chaotic yesterday was, I did everything I could to appease my team and sent someone to inform the other team that it was time to go back to the city, only to be told that the lord was missing as soon as I arrived in town - he was most likely alone to find the kidnapper!"

……

"At that time, all of us were stunned, I hurriedly handed Siv over to the people of the Lord's Mansion, and prepared to lead the team to the Ghost Castle again, guess what? I didn't go a few miles, but the lord actually came back by himself! Later I learned that Mr. Zeller had a way to contact the lord alone, and after learning that Seve was okay, he came back alone. ”

……

"But in the second half of the night, I still took people to the barren mountain to take a look, the environment there is very scary, the fog on the ancient castle has sunk to the halfway up the mountain, I don't know where the bandits set up the camp, if it is on the mountain, their fate is probably extremely miserable."

……

Brad rubbed his dark circles and whispered.

Matthew smiled and met Brad's curious gaze, and he casually said, "Their camp is halfway up the mountain, in the valley, and the kidnappers died before the fog sank. ”

Brad was dumbfounded:

"You're too good, aren't you?"

Matthew shook his head.

He chatted with Brad a few more times before leaving the police station.

On the way home.

Matthew's mind was still heavy.

Last night's events seem to have come to an end.

However, there are still many doubts and possibilities for subsequent developments.

……

First, on the part of the Scourge Order.

Judging from the content of the secret letter, the sorcerer Finn is only a shepherd, and his influence is limited to Rolling Rock and a few surrounding cities.

Although he wiped out the entire sorcerer camp in one go, it was difficult to guarantee that the rest of the Scourge Sect would not follow up.

……

Second, there is a high probability that there is a high probability that there is an internal response within the Blood Banner Family.

According to Brad, Sif was robbed while on a trip to the countryside, and the route she took was so secret that no one knew about it except those close to her.

If this internal concern is not detected, it will always be a hidden danger.

In addition, Fein had mentioned the peculiarities of Sif's bloodline.

This also made Matthew curious and uneasy.

……

Thirdly, in the secret letter, Finn mentions the information that Archmage Ronan is trapped in the astral plane.

At first Matthew didn't care.

He thinks this is nonsense.

But just now, he found out from Brad that Ronan hadn't shown up for more than a year!

Not only in Rolling Stone, but even the Jewel Bay where he is stationed has been in turmoil recently, and several major events have occurred Ronan has not come forward, which is inevitably worrying.

If this information is true.

Then the next days in Rolling Rock Town may not be peaceful.

……

Fourthly, the soul of the merchant who was intercepted and killed mentioned that he died at the hands of a tall man with a disheveled head.

Neither Fein nor Angel fit this description.

And last night Matthew saw a cloaked figure as the fog sank.

This shows that the merchant's death is related to the fog of the Ghost Castle.

However, his body was found by the peasants on a road not close to the Ghost Castle.

This is very intriguing.

"So last night, it was Finn's trickery that spurred the fog to sink passively? Or is this itself a hunt by someone or some ritual? ”

"Because Archmage Ronan is trapped in the astral boundary, are the evil creatures in the Ghost Woman Castle also about to move?"

The more Matthew thought about it, the more headache he felt.

All the way up to dinner time.

He was always in a state of distraction.

……

Today's dinner was tomato cream bisque, black pepper steak and clove tart.

Peggy's craftsmanship is still superb.

But Matthew's appetite is not good.

Peggy was keenly aware: "What's wrong?" Dear Matthew, have you finally reached the spring of your soul? Tell me, which girl made you so unthinkable? It can't be Siv, she's your student! ”

Matthew rolled his eyes:

"I'm just thinking about it."

Peggy said solemnly:

"Don't think about it when you eat, it's a basic respect for good food!

Sometimes people tend to ignore things that they take for granted.

Only someone like me, who has died once, knows how beautiful and luxurious it is to be able to eat like a living person. ”

Matthew was stunned for a moment and said apologetically:

"You're right, Peggy."

He put aside those worries and enjoyed his dinner.

Peggy propped up her bony chin with both hands:

"That's what it sounds like, Matthew!"

"By the way, I'll tell you a piece of gossip, I overheard it a while ago!"

This time it was Matthew's turn to preach seriously:

……

"Peggy, how many times have I told you - don't run around at night and listen around the corners just because you have stealth skills!

It's rude!

In case someone gets caught is not only embarrassing, but also scary. ”

……

Peggy shrugged:

"Do you listen or not?"

Matthew scooped a large spoonful of soup, and before the sweet spoon was close to his mouth, saliva involuntarily secreted from his mouth.

"Ding......

He said vaguely.

"Then do you know why the Blood Banner Lord hates necromancers?"

Peggy said mysteriously:

"Because his wife ran away with a necromancer!!?"
