A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 96: Do You Have a Problem With Necromancers?

Translator: Lonelytree

However, due to Lorraine’s warm invitation, Matthew went with him to the market outside of Marsh Water City.

The place was densely populated. Not only was there stinky water flowing on the ground, but there were also vegetable leaves, human or horse feces, and thick reeds scattered everywhere.

This made Matthew’s already bad impression of Marsh Water City worsen.

In his impression, no matter how many people there were in Rolling Stone Town, the hygiene situation would not be so bad. Perhaps this was related to the sewer project that Rheagar had promoted in his early years.

In front of a straw sandals stall.

Lorraine was talking to a white-haired old woman.

His image was elegant and his words were witty. In a short while, he made the other party giggle.

A moment later.

Lorraine successfully bought eight pairs of straw sandals from the old woman at a price that was 30% lower than the market price.

This surprised Matthew.

‘You know how to bargain?!” He could not help but ask.

Lorraine shrugged.

“I just heard that she sold them to the locals for 3 silver coins a pair, which is a little higher than the price she gave me!

“And why shouldn’t we bargain?

“I’m just super rich, not super stupid.”

This detail once again subverted Matthew’s impression of the bard in front of him.

Matthew did not say a word during the subsequent purchases. He just watched Lorraine’s performance from the side.

In less than an hour later.

Lorraine finished purchasing all the items on the list, and the price of each item was 50% to 30% lower than the initial price offered by the vendor.

To achieve this effect, Lorraine’s outstanding bargaining power was not the only factor.

More importantly, he was very good at selecting suitable trading partners.

Matthew realized that Lorraine bought almost all of her things from the female stall owners. This method of target selection maximized Lorraine’s charm.

However, there were a few times when he had a fiery conversation with the female stall owners, and both sides wanted to have sex on the spot. This really made Matthew blush.

This guy was simply a mobile hormone, going into heat wherever he went!

Furthermore, Lorraine had no qualms about his choices. From an old woman in her seventies to a shy young girl, he seemed to be able to flirt with them without hesitation.

It was no wonder that he had caused such a farce in the City of Flowers.

“Lorraine might be more like a real Warlock than Zeller.”

Matthew gave this evaluation in his heart.

Fortunately, Lorraine still had some rationality. Under the regretful gazes of the female stall owners, the flirtatious flirting didn’t go anywhere beyond that.

In the afternoon.

The two of them found an empty space outside the market to check the items on the list.

The soles of these shoes were very soft, and they would not leave a trace when walking in the rainforest. Old Lucky had asked everyone to prepare two pairs to wear, but Lorraine bought eight pairs in one go, and Matthew and he each took half.

Eight cans of insect repellent powder;

Two snake-chasing sticks; a certain amount of holy water;

Three specially-made short knives. The path in the depths of the rainforest was often covered by lush shrubs. Only by bringing these short knives could one cut open the path ahead.

Scissors, mirrors, combs-Old Lucky had specifically noted that these things were used to deal with the natives in the depths of the rainforest. They could be used to exchange for good things or to gain the favor of the indigenous tribes. If they were captured, they might even be able to exchange for their lives.

So Lorraine bought two whole snakeskin bags.

There were also dry rations, water bags, tents, flint, and other necessities for traveling.

After a round of counting, the two of them verified that there was no mistake and divided it among themselves.

Matthew paid Lorraine according to the price, and he did not refuse and gladly accepted it. During this process, Matthew also discovered that Lorraine was really rich.

The Magic Bag on his waist was considered extremely luxurious among the middle and low-level spellcasters.

However, the interspatial ring on the other party’s middle finger was undoubtedly the king of all storage items!

Matthew estimated that it could store at least a warehouse’s worth of things.

It was worth more than 4000 gold coins, but it was impossible to estimate because this number had already exceeded Matthew’s understanding, a poor mage who had lived in a remote town for a long time.

“It’s good to be rich!”

Just as Matthew was sighing in his heart, a commotion suddenly came from the market behind him.

The two of them turned around.

He saw a group of people with pale faces and reeds walking unsteadily.

The stall owners on both sides avoided them.

Even if someone in the team reached out to take the items from the stall, the stall owners did not dare to say anything.

Very quickly.

The sick procession walked out of the market and headed in Matthew’s direction.

“We have to hide.”

Lorraine pulled Matthew’s hand and went into the alley.

After the large group of patients had walked past, Lorraine poked his head out of the alley.

“Do you know why they are still on the streets when they are sick?”

Matthew shook his head, but he guessed that this was probably related to the ” King of Plague “. This group of people was clearly terminally ill, but they were still walking around on the streets, as if they were afraid that no one would inherit their disease. Who else would benefit from this except the master who controlled the plague?

“Quick, their route has changed. Let’s follow them and take a look!”

Lorraine suddenly became excited.

He didn’t seem to move, but two rays of white light shot out from his left ring finger and landed on the two of them.

It was only then that Matthew realized that Lorraine’s ring finger was not as empty as it looked.. There was actually a magic ring that was usually invisible!
