……

After seeing off the assessment duo, Matthew continued to plant trees.

Before I knew it, another three days had passed.

At the end of the new week, Matthew had a respectable 13 enhancements on hand.

Evening.

He summoned Renysme and fired 13 shots at her body in one go.

After a wonderful flash of enhanced light.

Miss Zombie's level has been raised from LV9 to LV12 in one go, and she is already at the peak of the third order, which is enough to be on an equal footing with Matthew.

In terms of keywords, the luck of this enhancement is decent, with a total of two purple, three blue, three white and two gray.

Look at these keywords in different colors.

Matthew felt like he had accumulated some more balance.

This time, he still chose to look at purple and gray first.

……

"Pact of Focus (Purple): When Rhaenysme targets an enemy, she gains an additional Focus Bonus (currently +1).

In particular, she'll share this focus bonus with one of her closest companions."

"Slime: Renysme is insecure and craves companionship, and she needs at least two hours a day to see her master (you).

Once she can't be satisfied, a layer of "confusion" will arise in her soul fire.

When the number of layers of confusion exceeds a certain limit, her loyalty to you may decrease."

……

Focus contracts are a good thing.

The last attribute a mage has is focus, and the impact of this thing on spellcasting is too crucial.

In the previous few battles, Matthew preferred to use the Wild Form more to kill enemies than to use spells, precisely because the Wild Form requires less concentration.

A lot of the time, he's distracted by calculating other things, and a slightly higher spell has to brew his emotions.

That's the downside of a lack of focus.

He doesn't actually have much advantage in this area, and can only accumulate it slowly.

With just this one keyword, Matthew decided to take Renysmay with him for a long time in the future, aside from the fact that she is also a marksman, even if she is used as a charging pile, it will not be a loss!

As for "clingy".

Matthew thinks it's okay.

At least there is no need for a salary increase.

It is only natural that the undead follow the necromancer every day.

What's more, Matthew is now third-order.

Among the spells to be learned, mirroring is also a very important spell.

In the future, if you want to go out and can't bring Miss Zombie.

Give her a mirror image at home to play.

Compared to real living people.

The undead are still too easy to fool.

Between thoughts.

Matthew looked at the second set of Purple and Gray.

……

"Spell Initiation (Purple): Renysme has awakened some of the memories of her past life, and she has gained a small number of memories of Storm Archer-related spells, and she may gradually recall more of her own spells in future battles.

In particular, if she can fight the enemy on a ship with a storm, Renysme may awaken more past life spells.

Currently Remembered Spells: Turning Water into Wine, Magic Trap"

"Bar Villain (Ash): Rhaenysmay loves to wrestle her wrist and is willing to make a bet to slap her three times if she loses; If she wins, she will slap the other side three times, which she enjoyed during her lifetime, and she still refuses to give up this hobby after her death."

……

"Okay."

Marxiu let out a long sigh of relief.

The stone fell to the ground.

There were no key words that caused him myocardial infarction.

likes to find someone to wrench his wrist, slap or something, in Matthew's opinion, it is too frivolous.

With so many zombies and skeletons on her own, she can play with it.

She can't fan all the immortals, can she?

As for "Spell Initiation".

It's also a keyword with great potential.

It does not represent an ability, but the awakening of a class of abilities.

"It seems that the Storm Shooter is not a pure ranged physical class, and she also needs to master some spells to assist in shooting."

Matthew realizes that Storm Shooter could be an advanced class for the Ranger.

Although the rangers are proficient, they also learn a little magic.

Renesme seems to be an unconventional ranger heading towards the seas at the moment.

It's time for the blue sky and white clouds.

Matthew decided to start with bitter and then sweet, looking at the white one first.

……

"Seagull Trap (White): Renysme has experienced the Great Famine during her sea adventures, so she is very good at making special traps that can be used to hunt seagulls."

"Canning (White): Renysme had experienced a severe sepsis pandemic during her adventures at sea, so she learned from an old sailor how to make and preserve canned tangerines that would help her and her crew resist the terrible death."

"Compass Technique (White): As a former captain of a pirate ship, Rhaenysme can use a compass as a matter of course, and she can easily tell the direction of the sea on a starry night."

……

"The essence of strengthening is indeed to tap into the ability of previous lives."

Matthew was a little emotional.

Unexpectedly, Miss Zombie was a majestic pirate ship captain before her death.

Combined with the characteristics of wrist wrenching and slapping.

Maybe he had a bad personality when he was alive.

This completely subverts Matthew's image of being quiet and in a daze when they first met.

And the above three white keywords all belong to the unpretentious kind.

They can definitely come in handy for specific occasions.

……

"Continuous Back Jump (Blue): When Renysme is approached, she will use a continuous back jump to quickly break away from the enemy, and use her bow and arrow to repel the enemy as much as possible."

"Surrender (Blue): If you are close to the enemy and cannot get rid of it in the short term, Renysme will choose to pretend to surrender, and then take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, or flee, or cooperate with the "continuous back jump" to pull out of position and kill the enemy."

"Medium Enlightenment (Blue): Renysme has the mind of an eight- or nine-year-old human child.

She understands almost everything you say, but due to the physiology of the undead, she can often only speak simple words.

In particular, Renysme is eager to learn languages.

At the same time, she is also eager to communicate with her master (Ling) or other people."

……

Swindling and back-hopping?

You can make your debut at sea with a sinister and cunning duo with the Ah Bing group.

Matthew complained in his heart.

However, "Medium Enlightenment" is still good.

Ah Bing only had a "Beginner Enlightenment" before, but later strengthened his mind once and was similar to Renysme.

"Ahh......h

Rhaenysmay smirked and looked at Matthew.

Matthew skilfully wiped away her saliva, and a deep longing came from the undead contract.

Matthew knew she wanted to speak, but it wasn't so easy for zombies to speak the lingua franca of humanity.

So he tried to communicate with Renysme:

"Don't worry, word by word, let's say, me?"

He pointed to himself:

"I am your master."

"Yes, master."

"Call the master."

Renysme's mouth opened wide:

"Ahh......h

Matthew tried for a few minutes, but Miss Zombie still only knew what to do, which made him gradually lose interest in teaching.

Night is falling.

An owl flew from the moonlight with its wings flashing:

"Matthew, I'll keep my promise and give birth for you!"

Matthew gave Ella a strong welcome.

Miss Owl perched on his shoulder and looked curiously at the "Ahhh

"Matthew, what are you doing?"

Ella asked.

"I'm teaching her to speak the lingua franca of humanity."

Matthew explained.

He looked back at Renysme and tried again:

"Call me master."

Renysme "Ahhhh

"Mom!"

Ella suddenly showed a shocked expression.

Matthew was also taken aback.

He just wanted to explain to Ella that he didn't teach the word himself.

Who knew that Ella actually said to Renysme in a matter-of-fact manner:

"And what do you call me?"

Renysmay looked at her quizzically.

Ella looked at Miss Zombie expectantly:

"What's the name of the one with Mom?"

Rhaenysme drooled and suddenly grunted:

"Uncle."

Ella's mind was filled with question marks.

……

During the night, Matthew and Ella worked all night in the greenhouse, and finally Ella was exhausted, and the oak seeds sprouted vigorously, and they would grow into suitable saplings in a short time.

With Ella's help, Matthew's looming sapling shortage is finally resolved.

In terms of oak seeds, through the official channels of Rolling Stone Town, some can still be received piecemeal, although the quality is very average, but it can also be used.

Under the influence of the realm of temperance, Matthew's mind also became more peaceful.

He is no longer in a hurry to pursue a momentary ascension.

Instead, I chose to ensure a certain amount of trees planted every day, while putting more energy into the foundation, and improving myself in a down-to-earth manner.

Early the next morning.

Matthew made another trip to the Crucible House, where he handed over the two reports he had drafted to the Coalition through the channels of Taling177.

According to 177.

He is a B1 boss in the league and has a dedicated fast track that can make Matthew's ritual application more quickly.

But in fact.

Matthew didn't plan to wait for the Alliance's permission before performing the Deathscorched Earth ritual.

His current identity is ambiguous, and he has joined the alliance with one foot, but he has not fully joined, which makes him have the greatest flexibility to interpret.

As long as Rhaegar can agree.

He doesn't care when the alliance side answers!

Since the oak grove had settled down for the time being, and Matthew had heard the news that Zeller was coming back from the Southern Trade Post today, he read a book in the cauldron house for a while, and then went straight to the Lord's Mansion to work.

And yet on the way to work.

He met the huge albatross again, the sweet girl.

The sweet chick shook her body awkwardly and let go of the letter in her mouth.

Matthew found a place on the side of the road to stand still, unwrap the letter and read it.

Loraine's letter is equally long.

He first explained where he is now-

After sailing on a whaling ship, Loren took advantage of the ocean current to quickly head north, and it didn't take long to reach Deep Blue Harbor.

Deep Blue Harbor is a famous city on the east coast, known for its romance and freedom.

In the first half of the letter, Lorraine mainly mentions some miscellaneous events around Deep Blue Harbor.

For example, the Lion City in the north of Deep Blue Harbor has been fighting hard recently, and has successively annexed seven or eight nearby territories through marriages, wars, and conspiracy subversion.

Deep Blue Harbor also seems to feel this chill from the north.

The lord of the city and his seven daughters were trying to figure it out;

On the sea, the battle between the Guardian of the East and the dragon in the sea caused a massive tsunami, and countless mysterious islands appeared and disappeared.

The aftermath of this battle even affected the heavens.

Some people claim to have seen the Eastern Immortal Kingdom in the waters of the Endless Ocean.

Some say it's the floating city of the ancient Naga.

Some even believe that it was part of the ruins above the clouds, where several Age of Enlightenment gods also fell;

The Astrologer Society on the East Coast has publicly announced that changes in the celestial phenomena will lead to increased dragon activity, and several dragons have indeed appeared on the continent of Aiindor.

The cities of the East Coast have always been known for their wealth, and the owners of many city-states have begun to prepare for dragon plagues.

All this, but all the news that the bard could get his hands on, he did not leave a single letter in the letter.

This pleasantly surprised Matthew.

I'm afraid the news on this letter is more complete than Rhaegar's weekly alliance magazine!

It's just in the second half.

When referring to Loraine's personal life.

The style of painting suddenly changed.

Here's how Loren described what happened to her in Deep Blue Harbor-

……

「…… When I was younger, I had an indissoluble bond with the city, and I could see those pairs in every corner of this place.

It was me when I was young and I was younger.

Yesterday, when I passed by the leafless promenade, I saw a pair of young men and women laughing and playing on the lawn, their shadows were constantly stretched on the lawn, and in a trance, I seemed to have returned to the era of ignorance and high spirits.

I seemed to see their shadows chasing and frolicking with me on the lawn.

But when I subconsciously walked over and reached out to touch the shadows, they laughed and pushed me away, saying that I was too old to play with them.

I could only watch them disappear in front of me.

Of course I knew it was just my hallucination.

I also know that with my current charm, it is equally easy to find a young girl to fall in love with.

But I suddenly lost the motivation to do so.

I suddenly didn't know why I was back in the city.

At sea, I was so eager to set foot on the land of Deep Blue Harbor.

But now, it's a completely different state of mind.

How to describe this feeling?

It's like a delicacy that you remember immeasurably, it originally existed only in your flawless memory, but when you trekked thousands of mountains and rivers to come to it against all odds.

You'll notice that it doesn't seem to be that tasty either.

Deep Blue Harbor is still the same Deep Blue Harbor.

It's full of young and beautiful girls.

But the Deep Blue Harbor doesn't seem to be the Deep Blue Harbor it used to be.

Maybe it's because the girls who were willing to accompany me to do ridiculous things are no longer there.

This feeling distressed me, and I have to write to you to confide in you.

If you can understand this feeling, please write back to me as soon as possible.

At present, I have found a serious job in Deep Blue Harbor and will not be leaving anytime soon, if you are considering visiting Deep Blue Harbor, I am always welcome!

Thank you!

- Yours, Loraine."

……

After reading it, Matthew walked quickly to his office.

He took up his pen and wrote—

……

"I'm grateful for the information on Deep Blue Harbor.

But I can't empathize with you.

If I have to comment on the gentle mood in the second half of your letter.

I can only give one word as a reply –

Sentimental.

- Matthew the outspoken."

……

Matthew, of course, couldn't empathize with Loraine.

Although he is also very popular with the opposite sex, he is more often not a normal human being.

And he doesn't plan to waste his energy on love in the near future.

After writing.

He comfortably handed the envelope to the albatross who was waiting at the window.

"Say hello to Loren on my behalf."

Matthew said casually.

Who knew that the sweet girl actually opened her mouth and said:

"I forgot to take the ceramic bottle back last time, Luo Lan specially told me, where is the bottle?"

Matthew was surprised:

"Can you speak?"

Sweet girl nodded:

"Of course I would, but you didn't talk to me last time, so I'm too embarrassed to take the initiative. After all, I'm just an albatross, and I can't behave too abnormally in human society.

So what about bottles? ”

Seeing that the topic of change failed, Matthew could only hand over the ceramic bottle that was used to contain the plague field to Sweet Girl.

The albatross also did not drag mud and water, and took off directly.

Matthew sighed.

After a while, Rega, who was dressed in pajamas, walked over excitedly:

"Matthew, you have no idea what I just saw!"

He also had a thick copy of the weekly League in his hand.

Matthew said lazily:

"Good morning, lord, what could make such a fuss about you?"

Rhaegar said mysteriously:

"Do you know Deep Blue Harbor? It is a beautiful and rich city on the east coast, and I saw on the news that due to the pressure of war in the northern Lion City, the lord of Deep Blue Harbor openly chose a son-in-law, do you know how many daughters he has? ”

Matthew calmly replied:

"Seven?"

Rhaegar was stunned:

"How do you know?"

Matthew smiled:

"Any other news?"

Rhaegar looked at him suspiciously, then looked down at the newspaper again:

"Due to the fierce battle between the dragon in the sea and the guardian of the east, there was a tsunami in some areas of the east coast, and some people saw the city in the clouds above the endless ocean, and many people speculated that it was ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Matthew added:

"People speculate that the city could be the Eastern Immortal Kingdom, the Naga Floating City, or the ruins on the clouds?"

Rhaegar glared:

"You peeked at my newspaper? No, this was just delivered? ”

Matthew smirked:

"You should be glad that your Wizard Advisor has his own intelligence channel, my lord."

At the same time, he thought to himself, Luo Lan's serious job will not be the editor of the Alliance Weekly, right?

Rhaegar was right to think about it.

So he excitedly asked Matthew:

"Then which man of school age do you think in our territory has a chance to catch up with the daughter of the city lord of Deep Blue Harbor?"

Matthew looked at him strangely:

"Rolling Rock is thousands of miles away from the East Coast, what are you thinking about this? It's as if our people have a chance to meet the princess of Deep Blue Harbor. ”

Rhaegar was about to say something.

At this point, Zeller walked in and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"The haunted thing solved?"

Rhaegar asked, taking a sip of his coffee from Mrs. Wesley.

Zeller nodded:

"I found out, the source of the haunted is a group of high-level ghosts, but they don't seem to be very aggressive, I played hide and seek with them for a few days, and finally made a deal with them, they have now left the South Trade Post, they should be hiding in the dungeon, in the short term, they should not be harassing us again."

Rhaegar wondered:

"Why has the things in the dungeon been running out lately, and the dark area is so terrifying that even ghosts can't live there?"

Zeller shrugged.

Matthew duly handed over his plan for Deathscorched Earth.

After he read it carefully, his eyes lit up:

"I think this plan is feasible, but what the actual effect is, it still depends on the situation of the test field, what do you think? Rhaeggar. ”

Rhaegar thought for a moment:

"I've asked a few old men in the past few days, and they don't seem to be very optimistic, but they all think they can try, and since you agree, let's try it."

"But Matthew, you have to be careful, this is Rolling Stone, and I don't want anything on this land that will affect my people's ability to thrive and live in peace, understand?"

Matthew nodded heavily.

The three of them chatted for a while.

Zeller suddenly asked:

"How's your Transfiguration going?"

Matthew helplessly pointed to the three sheep on the ground and said:

"It's not going well, I seem to lack talent in the field of transformation, and it's strange to say, through these days of hard work, I can clearly perceive what kind of existence a goat is, but there is still no way to turn a living thing into a complete goat."

With that, he ran back to the office and pulled out a little pig.

Matthew uses the Malicious Transfiguration technique on the piglet.

Bang.

The piglet is covered in white wool and has goat-like limbs, but its ears, nose, and tail are still like piglets.

Matthew spread his hands:

"Look, that's it, it's always a little bit close."

Zeller observed for a moment and said strangely:

"I don't think there's anything wrong with your Transfiguration, wait—I know what the problem is!"

He clapped his palms and asked Matthew:

"Did you cast the spell without even the slightest malice towards the target?"

Matthew was stunned and said:

"Still need malice?"

Zeller Dao:

"Of course!"

"Think of the name of this spell, Malicious Transfiguration!"

"If you always use Transfiguration on your target with good intentions, you won't be able to transform into place!"

Matthew suddenly realized.

It turns out that I am stuck here!

But soon he was embarrassed:

"This little pig is so cute, it's hard for me to be malicious towards it."

Zeller thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Rhaegar:

"Rhaeggar, help Matthew."

Rhaegar put down the newspaper and asked inexplicably:

"How can I help?"

Zeller laughed:

"When you were younger, what you were best at was "provocation", don't tell me that you forgot your housekeeping skills."

Rhaegar thought for a moment:

"It's not that hard."

As he spoke, he said defiantly to Matthew:

"Look at how thin you look, you must have never eaten enough since you were a child, right?"

"It would take so many little lambs to waste the lives of so many lambs to learn a spell, so it's better to change careers and become a chef."

Matthew's face was expressionless.

Zeller encouraged:

"Pull it on, Rhaegar."

Rhaegar then thought about it again, and suddenly smiled lewdly:

"Your mom was in bed last night and said I was great!"

Matthew's face was gloomy.

But soon the anger subsided.

Because his mother is not in this world.

Zeller encouraged again:

"Show your skills when you provoked the Succubus Queen!"

Rhaegar had no choice but to put down the newspaper and said:

"I've burned your woods."

And at that moment.

Matthew's mind exploded with a primal rage.

That anger quickly turned to malice.

He instinctively raised his hand.

A flash of light flashed.

There's an extra goat behind the desk!

"You've made it, Matthew!"

Zeller congratulated.

Matthew was also full of joy.

He just wanted to say something.

At this moment, a young and beautiful shadow ran in from outside.

She greeted the two of them, then looked left and right for a while, and asked strangely:

"Where's my dad?"

"Isn't he usually here?"

At this time.

The goat behind the desk bleated.

Instantly caught Sif's attention.

……

Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, there is no more, the heart suddenly feels uncomfortable, please take half a day off to go to the hospital to have a look, I don't know if I have written too much recently, too tired or post-COVID sequelae, sorry

(End of chapter)
