nDomain: Oak Tree

n..

nThis was really explosive news.

nMatthew quickly put down the spoon, his eyes shining.

n“No wonder I’ve never heard of the lord’s wife. Are there any more details?”

nPeggy shrugged.

n“That’s all I heard. At that time, the adulterous couple couldn’t wait to get into it after they finished talking. I thought they would continue talking after that, so I hid under their bedroom window until dawn. But I still got nothing!”

nMatthew scooped another spoonful of soup for himself. “What a pity.”

nImmediately after, he reminded her solemnly, “Next time, don’t stay outside until dawn. It’s very dangerous. Your stealth skills aren’t good enough to come and go in daylight.”

nPeggy nodded and said, “You’re right. I was almost seen by someone that day.”

nMatthew quickly asked, “What happened after that?”

nPeggy said happily, “Fortunately, the male owner of the house came back at dawn. The house immediately became noisy, and everyone was distracted. I took the opportunity to run out.”

nMale owner?

nMatthew was shocked. “So you were eavesdropping on a couple having an affair?!”

nPeggy crossed her arms.

n“Otherwise, why would I call them an adulterous couple?”

nMatthew coughed. “Which family is it?”

nPeggy looked at him suspiciously. “What, you want to have an affair with the lady too?”

nPuff!

nMatthew almost spat the soup on her face.

n“No, I was just curious.”

nHe denied it.

nPeggy crossed her legs.

n..

n“It’s 27 White Narcissus Street in the Craftsmen’s District. The owner of the house is called Brice. He’s a hardworking shoemaker with a good reputation.

n“The female owner is called Jenny. She was once a maid of the lord’s manor and served the former lord’s wife. Jenny isn’t pretty, but she has a smoking bod. Even I have the urge to touch her bones by looking at her.

n“As for the adulterer that night, based on his voice, I could tell that he was a coachman of the Suki Family Lord. His name should be Dagan.”

n..

n“That night? Do you mean this has happened on other nights?”

nMatthew wiped his mouth with a napkin and inadvertently displayed the sensitivity of a Druid.

n“Of course, Jenny is famous in the craftsman’s area for not rejecting anyone. Her lovers can’t be counted on two hands.”

nPeggy’s legs were raised higher and higher.

n“But if you want to know, I can also list the names of Jenny’s lovers.”

n“Thank you, but there’s no need.”

nMatthew rejected her. “Peggy, it seems that even if you change your profession to intelligence management, you will also be very good at it.”

nPeggy was instantly overjoyed. “Matthew, have you finally discovered my excellence?

n“Then when will you give me a raise?”

n“I’ve already used up the Soul Crystals from last month!” Matthew stood up skillfully and inadvertently displayed the indifference of a necromancer. “Next time!”

n“Damn necromancers!”

nIn the dining room.

nThe Tauren skeleton’s roar did not calm down for a long time.

n..

nThe next morning.

nMatthew deliberately went to the security office again.

nHe sorted out his guesses from last night on a piece of paper and handed it to Blake along with the secret letter.

nThe latter’s expression became much more solemn after reading it.

nWhen they left the security office, Matthew noticed that a few members of the garrison team were yawning as if they had just returned from a patrol. In the past, the security office had almost no night shifts.

n“It seems that the Lord has strengthened the security around the town. I wonder if the roads, trading stations, and sentry posts at the border have received the same level of attention.”

nMatthew did not think too much about it.

nHe had only done what he could.

nHe would leave the rest to the Suki Family Lord.

n..

nAt noon.

nThe breeze was warm.

nMatthew stood on the hillside on the southwest side of the oak forest to choose the site for his next work.

nMaster Ronan’s land had been completely covered by the oak forest.

nIf Matthew wanted to expand the planting area, he would have to step into other people’s land.

nHe looked into the distance.

nThe map of the surroundings of the oak forest appeared in his mind.

n..

nTo the southwest was Rolling Stone Town, which did not have much room for expansion.

n..

nIn the southeast, there were some farms of various sizes. Most of the crops in Rolling Stone Town grew here. Most of the land here had been bought by the farmers, so there was not much space for oak trees to grow.

n..

nTo the northeast was a barren land without an owner, but there was the ” Scar of the Dead ” obstructing it. Further away were the barren mountains and the Ghost Castle, which looked ominous no matter how one looked at it.

nOnly the land in the northwest was the most suitable.

nHowever, that was the private land of the Suki Family Lord. If Matthew wanted to plant trees on it, he would at least have to seek the approval of the City Hall.

n“The Lord wouldn’t reject me just because of his prejudice, would he?”

nMatthew was a little troubled.

nA long time ago, Master Ronan had reminded him that the Suki Family Lord was a good person, but he hated necromancers.

nYesterday, he got the reason from Peggy.

nHe could understand the hatred of the Lord.

nHowever, he did not want to hang the fact that he had saved Sif’s life over the lord in exchange for the right to plant trees on his land.

nIn short, it was a pain in the ass.

n“If worse comes to worst, I’ll challenge the Scar of the Dead! I’ll plant a large oak forest along the edge and wrap the Scar of the Dead in it!”

nMatthew encouraged himself.

nHe was tired of choosing the location.

nHe leaned against an oak tree to rest.

nThe afternoon sun shone brightly.

nIt made one feel sleepy.

nMatthew yawned and was about to take a nap.

nSuddenly.

nA violent tremor around him woke him up from his dazed state!

n“What is happening…?”

nMatthew looked around blankly.

nHe saw that the Oak trees beside him were growing at an unbelievable speed!

nThey had grown from three to four meters to three to four hundred meters before his eyes!

nThe endless shade of the trees covered everything.

nMatthew stood up from the ground.

nHe looked up at the oak forest.

nThe oak forest was also sizing him up.

nMatthew could hear their whispers.

n..

n“Ah, how amazing! A necromancer!”

n“I hate necromancers, but I don’t hate him.”

n“Maybe there are some strange necromancers, or maybe this is an anomaly. We should give him a chance to take the test.”

n..

nMatthew walked quietly in the dark forest.

nA deer that was emitting pure white light ran past him.

nTwo woodpeckers were playing with each other overhead.

nA frog wearing a gentleman’s hat greeted him by the pond he passed by.

nIn the end.

nHe came to a waterfall in the depths of the forest.

nThe waterfall went down ten thousand feet.

nA large number of green light spots flowed up the waterfall.

n“This light spot…”

nMatthew’s heart skipped a beat.

nIn the next moment.

nAn eagle-faced man appeared beside him. The latter said in a low voice, “You are not qualified to explore this place yet.”

nAfter saying this.

nThe scene around Matthew seemed to be rewinding!

nWhoosh!

nThe green phenomenon disappeared without a trace.

nMatthew sat under the oak tree in a daze.

nAt the bottom of the mission panel.

nThe green light on the right side of the Taiji symbol had been completely consumed!

n..

nHint: You have successfully stepped into the sub-domain of nature, ‘Oak Tree’, and have completed a short stay in it!

n..

nAs a reward for stepping into the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities:

n..

n1. Summon Treant (In a forest that is over 500 years old, you can recruit several Treant companions)

n..

n2. Woodpecker Contract (You will obtain Shapeshifting Form: Woodpecker, and gain three times the flying speed)

n..

n3. Natural Immunity (Your Toughness 2)

n..

nMatthew’s eyes lit up.

nWhat was there to hesitate about?

nHe directly chose 3!

nAt that moment.

nMatthew vaguely saw a green light enter his body.

nHe could feel that his physique had become stronger.

n“1 point of Toughness can provide a 20% increase in effect. My immunity in related areas is now 44% stronger than before.”

nMatthew was in a good mood.

nAlthough it could not be compared to Sword Masters and Monks, who had more than 10 points of Toughness, Matthew was rather stronger already.

nAt least he had taken the first step of stopping a sudden death.

n..

nDetected that you have fulfilled two of the three Legendary elements (Reputation

/Domain). You have unlocked the Legendary Path ahead of time!

n..

nLegendary Path (Germinal)

n..

nKeywords: Undying and Natural

n..

nDomain Status: 1

/6

n..

nRevelation 1: Weak body, low mana, poor mind, ignorant soul. The path of legend has actually been opened in you. This may be the mercy of the heavens or, more likely, an error in the laws. You should not have extravagant hopes.

nReturning to the mediocre path is your only way to save yourself.

n..

nRevelation 2: Life and death, destruction and rebirth don’t always seem to conflict.

nYou’ve found an unprecedented path. It doesn’t matter if it’s muddy or thorny. You should keep at it.

n..

nPlease choose a revelation as the motto of your Legendary Path! (Different revelations mean different legendary paths and different follow-up rewards)

n..

nMatthew immediately took down ” Revelation 2 “.

nNext.

nAs long as he could continue to explore this path, he would carve out his own legend.

nAfter he mastered some legendary abilities, his power would also be stronger than an ordinary necromancer!

nAt this point.

nMatthew finally understood the meaning of the Tai Chi symbol.

nIt was the embodiment of Matthew’s Legendary Path!

nThe general direction had been decided.

nHis path was marked by the two keywords, ‘undying’ and ‘natural’.

n“If the green lights will open the Oak Domain when full, what about the gray lights?”

nMatthew was looking forward to it.

nHowever, at this time, another piece of news flashed before his eyes.

n..

n You have completed the enlightenment of the Oak Tree’s Domain. Current situation of the Realm is Your First Entry to the Domain.

n..

nYou have received a permanent status, ‘Longevity’

n..

nDescription: Your lifespan 100 years

n..

nYou have obtained a temporary status, ‘No pain, no gain’.

n..

nDescription: During the duration of the status, you will receive one strengthening experience point for every oak tree you plant.

n..
