A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 672: Matthew’s Messenger

Translator: Lonelytree

The new side mission refreshed Matthew’s spirits.

In the normal mage growth system, signature spells were the same as the ability of spells. They were considered high-end Supreme Magic Techniques.

Every mage could choose one or more signature spells in their field of expertise.

Through specialized training and more actual combat.

The effects of signature spells were often stronger than ordinary ones.

However, this process was full of hardships and also required extremely high monetary costs.

Therefore, a typical fourth or fifth-tier mage would only have one signature spell. Those who had two signature spells definitely existed with outstanding financial resources, energy, and talent.

After Matthew advanced to Tier 4, he could train a signature spell through his own hard work.

And this mission could allow him to improve on this foundation and obtain a second signature spell slot. Moreover, from the mission description, the effect of the signature spell formed in this way might be stronger than ordinary signature spells!

Matthew was full of anticipation.

As for which spell to choose to become his signature.

Matthew hadn’t thought about it yet.

However, there was a high chance that spells from the undead domain would be more suitable.

After all, he was still a Necromancer.

Anyway, the spell enhancement points obtained from the mission could be saved, so he was not in a hurry to choose a spell. He would just specify a higher limit later.

The key was what tree he was going to plant next!

Previously, during the main mission.

Matthew had thought about what tree to plant for a long time.

However, the oak tree’s position in the natural domain was unique, so in the end, he didn’t have much trouble.

As for the trees after the oak tree.

Matthew also had an idea in his heart.

After weighing the pros and cons of all aspects.

Matthew finally decided to plant pine trees!

First of all, the climate in Rolling Stone Town was very suitable for pine trees.

Secondly, the pine forest and the oak forest did not conflict.

Thirdly, pine seeds were relatively easy to obtain, which had a profound impact on Matthew’s production capacity.

After confirming the target.

Matthew began to make a detailed plan.

At the initial stage.

He planned to plant pine trees far away from the oak forest.

After all, the oak forest was the carrier of the ritual field of the Life Sanctuary. The oak trees themselves benefited the most. They would inadvertently squeeze the resources of other plants of the same level.

If pine trees were planted near the oak trees, the effect might not be ideal.

Fortunately, Matthew had his own land now.

After searching on the map and surveying the area, he was able to find a way out.

He finally decided on the location of the pine forest in the vast wasteland north of the Scar of the Dead.

The advantage of this place was that it was large enough, and the soil was fertile enough to support a pine forest.

The disadvantage was that…

Due to the devouring of the Scar of the Dead and the faint influence of the Ghost Granny Castle further north, the life essence in this area seemed to be suppressed.

According to Matthew’s investigation.

There were also some plants here.

But most of them grew up very lonely.

These plants were growing well, far above average.

This meant that this land was not devoid of life elements but was suppressed by some kind of power.

Matthew’s pine forest plan had to go smoothly, so he had to solve this problem.

If it was in the past.

Matthew would probably be in trouble.

But now, as long as he activated his equalized perception, he could clearly see the flow of life essence in this wasteland.

Matthew realized.

The life essence of the large area of land nearby was detained in the depths of the ground.

The strange thing was…

This wasteland was actually at the edge of the Gold Digger’s Basin, and there weren’t many underground cities.

Was there something in the depths of the earth that was suppressing the activity of life elements?

Matthew was very curious.

However, he was not in a hurry to solve this problem. Instead, he set out to build his second base on the barren land.

The second base would be divided into two parts, above ground and underground, just like the oak forest.

There was a pine forest on the ground.

Underground was the second cemetery.

In order to speed up the construction of the cemetery, Matthew had transferred a large number of zombies to work overtime.

During this process.

The performance of the Mother of Slaves was quite outstanding. The Zombies she trained had a very strong construction ability.

They could open up underground space in small caves, and they could also transport logs above the surface to build wooden houses.

Although the level of construction built by zombies was definitely not as good as that of human craftsmen, it was still much better than the stone house that Matthew had commanded the zombies to build.

Not only that.

The Mother of Slaves even trained a group of zombie farmers for Matthew!

According to her introduction.

These zombie farmers were only 20 – 30% weaker than ordinary human farmers.

If it was combined with Druid spells…

The zombie farmers could definitely produce more food than the same number of humans.

The most important thing was…

Zombie farmers don’t need money to work!

As long as the cemetery provided them with a little negative energy, they could continuously produce value for Matthew.

This made Matthew very happy.

Unfortunately, it was already early autumn.

Rolling Stone Town’s agricultural level was not suitable for large-scale grain cultivation.

Matthew’s druid resources had to be invested in the more important planting of pine trees and oak trees.

Therefore, these zombie farmers could only stay at home and wait for jobs.

Wait until the next spring.

That was why Matthew promoted zombie farming on his own land on a large scale.

Considering Myossage’s outstanding performance…
