nUndead Summoning Spell: Bone Dragon

n..

nThe next day.

nMatthew woke up early.

nToday was Saturday.

nHe didn’t need to go to Seaver Public School during the day.

nIt was just the right time to complete the final mission target.

nHe carried a few bags of saplings from the greenhouse and hurried out.

nPeggy was indeed meticulous.

nIn addition to the things needed for planting, she also placed lunch boxes and water bags on the shelf next to the sapling bag. This meant that she not only guessed that Matthew was going to do a big job today but also guessed that he would probably forget to get food from the kitchen.

nSuch attentiveness was a miracle for a low-level undead creature.

nSometimes, Matthew felt that it was not impossible for Peggy to plant trees for him.

nBut he was only thinking about it.

nAlthough Rolling Stone Town was not a remote place where magic was extinct, and necromancers were far from being hated by everyone in the world of Aindor, a walking skeleton would always attract many strange gazes.

nNot to mention that Peggy was a rare skeleton transformed from a dead Tauren.

nSkeleton planting trees would definitely attract all kinds of criticism in a small place like Rolling Stone Town.

nIt was troublesome just thinking about it.

n..

nNorth of the oak forest.

nMatthew walked steadily as he surveyed the land ahead.

nHe was choosing a location for the saplings.

nPlanting trees was never an easy task.

nSeed selection;

nGermination;

nFoundation soil allocation;

nFixed planting in greenhouse;

nTree pit selection;

nTransplantation and maintenance;

n..

nThis series of steps had been memorized by Matthew in the past three years.

nHowever, there were all kinds of problems that needed to be solved in practice.

nFor example, right now, Matthew had already prepared the saplings and tools, but he was unable to start work because of the difficulty of selecting a site.

n“Rolling Stone Town is really not a good place to plant trees.”

nHe looked at the billowing black smoke coming from the west.

nMatthew sighed.

nThe Gold Digger Basin was famous for its various mines. The land here had been dug up several times by humans and kobolds, and most of the places were not suitable for plants to live.

nMan-made pollution was one thing.

nWhat was even more terrifying was the huge scar in the north!

nMatthew stood on top of a mound and looked north.

n“It’s getting closer.”

nHe looked at the black scar that was spreading from the north with a complicated expression.

n..

nScar of the Dead

n..

nIt was a scar left on the earth by a natural disaster many years ago.

nIt started from Jewel Bay in the east, passed through Jade Court and Eversong Forest, and extended to the Duke’s Territory and Gold Digger Basin of the human kingdoms.

nNear the Scar of the Dead, life force was extinguished.

nEven undead creatures found it difficult to survive.

nIt was the purest and most brutal power of extermination.

nMortals couldn’t fight it.

n..

n“There are many similarities between this world and the game world, but there are also many differences. There was no Scar of the Dead in the game world, and I have never heard of Rolling Stone Town and Jade Court. Could I be in the same game universe but not in the same plane?”

n..

nHe retracted his gaze.

nMatthew walked down the hill.

nBehind him was the oak forest that was gradually taking shape. In front of him was a barren land, and behind the oak forest was Rolling Stone Town with red roofs and yellow bricks.

nThe three regions were clearly separated.

nSometimes, Matthew felt that the mission issued by the system might be related to the Scar of the Dead.

nBecause the more he looked at the oak forest, the more it seemed like a shield in front of the Scar of the Dead.

nIt was a pity.

n“Just relying on an oak forest won’t be enough to stop the Scar of the Dead from spreading.” He thought casually.

n..

nMatthew walked around the hill.

nHe finally found a few suitable pits.

nAlthough this place was beyond his planned location, it was still a distance away from the Scar of the Dead. The oak saplings planted here might be able to survive.

nLimited by his physique and strength, Matthew could not be considered swift and decisive in his work, but he was more experienced.

nHe maintained a certain rhythm and speed.

nUntil the sun rises high in the sky

nThe saplings in the sacks had settled down at the foot of the hill.

nMatthew wiped his sweat, took out a bottle of green liquid from his pocket, and sprinkled it on the oak seedlings one by one.

nThis was the ” Green Growth Liquid ” that he had asked someone to buy from the Druids of the Guardian Highland at a high price. It had the effect of accelerating and consolidating plants. If the plant were watered constantly, it would have 20 years of natural growth in a year.

nUnfortunately, this was the last bottle Matthew had.

nThese three years.

nMatthew had invested almost all of his savings into the vigorous planting of trees.

nNow, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

nHis hands trembled slightly.

nPuff.

nDrops of green liquid fell.

nThe small sapling that had been wilting just a moment ago instantly flourished!

nAt that moment.

nMatthew’s eyes also lit up.

n..

nSuccessfully planted five oak trees. Your Nature Affinity has slightly increased.

nAccumulated number of oak trees planted and survived: 1001

n..

nYou have completed the primary objective of the Main Mission: Plant Trees.

nYou have received the reward “Undead Summoning (Bone Dragon)” and “Massive XP”!」

n..

nYou have leveled up to Level 8!

nUnable to continue level up, remaining XP has been accumulated, please upgrade as soon as possible

n..

nYour Undead Summoning spell has been leveled up to level 8, and a contract slot has been added!

nYour Intelligence 1

nYour perception 1

n..

nYou have obtained a new ability, Instant Summoning!

nYou have obtained a new ability, Fixed Drop!

nYour ability, Rotten Sac Understanding, has been upgraded to Rotten Sac Mastery!

nYou can now learn higher-level spells!

n..」

n..

nA dense stream of information flashed past Matthew’s eyes.

nA huge sense of satisfaction surged into his heart.

nThe increase in attributes and abilities did not exceed Matthew’s expectations.

nHowever, in terms of experience, he still had some left after leveling up three times.

nThis was much more than the amount of experience he gained from the Necromancy Meditation every day!

nHowever…

nWhat Matthew valued the most was still the Bone Dragon Summon!

n..

nUndead Summoning (Bone Dragon): You can summon a Bone Dragon to serve you at any time.

nRemark: This Bone Dragon is no higher than Level 15.

nContract status: Contracted

n..

n“It’s actually in a contracted state. I even saved myself a contract slot!”

nMatthew was very satisfied.

nSummoning was a necromancer’s specialty, and it would increase with the level.

nEvery two levels of profession’s advancement would result in an additional contract slot.

nThis was used to summon a specific creature.

nThe necromancer needed less mana to summon the contracted subjects.

nThe tacit understanding between the two sides was also higher.

nAs time passed, some necromancers would even develop feelings for their contracted subjects.

n..

nKobold Mine.

nIn a hidden underground cave.

nMatthew held the Withered Wood Staff and tried to summon the Bone Dragon for the first time.

nAn incantation sounded.

nWith the support of the new ability ” Instant Summoning “, when the first syllable came out of Matthew’s mouth, the dark cave flashed with a reverse hexagram array pointing to the negative energy plane. Grayish-white bone powder and dark green fire floated from the void like snowflakes.

nMatthew looked over.

nA giant skeleton beast that was mostly submerged in the darkness was lying there warily.

nA deep blue soul flame lit up inside the skull of the skeletal dragon.

nIt stared coldly at Matthew.

nMatthew was a little nervous under its gaze.

nThe air was constantly filled with the sound of the wind in the cave.

nThe man and the dragon were in a stalemate.

nMatthew’s muscles were abnormally tense.

nThis was the first time he had faced a monster that was twice his level!

nThe contract he had formed made him immune to the faint dragon’s might.

nHowever, the immense pressure from its body and the fear brought by its terrifying image could not be ignored.

n..

n“It’s no wonder that people are always prejudiced against necromancers. The subjects in the field of necromancy are scarier than the last. How many people can face this fear?”

nMatthew adjusted his state of mind.

nHe waved his withered wooden staff and ordered the skeletal dragon, “Bow your head.”

nThe skeletal dragon’s movements were slow but firm.

nIts long neck slowly circled around the rocks and ceiling of the karst cave.

nThen, it landed steadily on the ground in front of Matthew.

nIts lower jaw was pressed against the ground.

nThe blue soul fire was jumping.

nFor some reason, Matthew actually felt a trace of nervousness from the spiritual fire of the behemoth in front of him.

nMatthew was amused.

nThe skeletal dragon was nervous, but he wasn’t.

nHe mustered his courage and stepped on the skeletal dragon’s head.

nThe latter made a whimpering sound, appearing very docile.

nMatthew was relieved.

nHe bent down and touched the bone dragon’s bones.

nIt was dry.

nIt was also very rough.

nAt a glance, it was obvious that it was not an expensive bone.

n“When we have money, we will definitely get you a new set of bones.” Matthew couldn’t help but say.

nThe bone dragon let out a low groan.

n..

nThe loyalty of Philolius (Bone Dragon) to you has increased to 85!」

n..

nMatthew was amused.

n“So easily satisfied? Then I should make more promises.”

nThe skeletal dragon slowly raised its head.

nIt lifted Matthew up.

nMatthew was able to look down at the cave from a higher angle.

nThis place was originally a paradise for gold diggers. Later, when the mines were exhausted and idle, it was occupied by a Kobold tribe.

nAfter the Suki Family took over Rolling Stone Town, the local lord issued several orders to expel the Kobolds. Under the hunting of the surrounding adventurers and mercenaries, the area gradually became silent and deserted.

nAs far as Matthew knew.

nThere were many similar karst caves in the Gold Digger Basin.

nThese karst caves were complicated.

nRumor had it that some of the karst caves were even connected to the vast underground world.

nThat was also where the kobolds had truly retreated.

n..

nMatthew rarely set foot in these areas.

nHowever, the size of the bone dragon was too big. Even the underground karst cave could not accommodate it. One could imagine how big a storm it would cause if it appeared on the surface.

nHe was a low-key and pragmatic person.

nHe had never intended to hide his identity as a necromancer.

nHowever, he did not want to cause trouble for no reason.

n“In the future, I’ll just stay in the cave with Philolius.”

nHe thought about it.

nMatthew carefully examined the skeletal dragon’s body.

nHe also checked his stats.

n..

nName: Philolius

nRace: Bone Dragon (LV15)

n..

n“Flattery?”

nMatthew realized it later.

n“Was he trying to flatter me just now?”

nIt was as if it was to confirm Matthew’s thoughts.

nThe bone dragon’s bubbling sounds came from beneath his feet again. Coupled with the emotions transmitted by the leaping soul fire, this was definitely flattery.

nThe image of a strong man that Matthew had just built up because he thought the bone dragon was in awe of him instantly disappeared.

nHe could not help but stomp his feet.

n“Your name is too difficult to pronounce.”

n“I’ll call you ‘Phily’!”

n..

nPhilolius was at a loss for a moment.

nImmediately after, its soul fire began to tremble violently.

nWaves of joy surged through the contract.

n..

nIn appreciation of your name, the loyalty of Philolius (Bone Dragon) to you has increased to 90!」

n..

nPerhaps it was too happy.

nPhily’s head shook too much.

nMatthew was almost thrown off by it!

nFortunately, his perception and agility were both extraordinary.

nHe did a small, elegant jump.

nMatthew landed steadily in the shadows of the cave.

nBut at that moment.

nHe suddenly felt that something was wrong.

nHe turned around and looked in the direction where he had landed.

nHe stepped on a piece of clothing covered in blood.

n..

n
