A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Season 1 Episode 23

Richard spread his hands. “Don’t think that I’m so powerful, Matthew. I’m just a retired old man.

“The person who attacked us was an Evil Priest. Of course, he wouldn’t be my match in a one-on-one fight, but I didn’t know any spells.

“I couldn’t find their location through magic like Zeller, nor could I rush to the scene of the incident as quickly as you could to save the damsel in distress.

“Do you understand?

“So I want to thank you on behalf of Sif.

“After all, this world belonged to Wizards!”

..

When he said the last sentence, his tone was a little lonely, and his eyes were filled with memories.

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

After a while.

The busy bartender hurriedly served two more glasses of pig eating wine.

Richard was about to take the cup.

Suddenly.

His body movements stopped there, but his eyes glanced at the door.

Matthew followed his gaze.

Two seconds later.

The door of the tavern was pushed open.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked in side by side.

Matthew’s pupils contracted.

Even though the other party’s face had been modified, he recognized that this was the duo who had passed through the oak forest last night!

The two of them entered the tavern and looked around.

“Can’t they see us?”

Matthew was surprised to find that the short man with a vigilant expression quickly shifted his gaze away from the corner booth.

It was as if there was no one sitting in the booth.

A moment later.

The short man found a convenient spot to observe and sat down.

The tall man started to get close to the bartender.

“Those are two gang members from two big cities. They are inquiring about a high-level Druid who doesn’t exist.” Richard calmly grabbed the glass and took a sip. “Looking for you?”

Matthew said frankly, “Yes, on the night I saved Sif, I killed an arsonist.”

“Arsonist? Strange.” Richard narrowed his eyes. “These maggots that live in the sewers of the city actually left their territory?”

Matthew said, ” They might have been bewitched by the Order of Calamity.” Richard thought for a moment. “The Order of Calamity? Never heard of it!”

Matthew shrugged.

“Could it be an evil organization that has emerged in recent years?

“Other than that, I know that they seem to be members of the Silver Frost Brotherhood.”

Richard nodded and said, ” I know about that. The Silver Frost Brotherhood is a criminal organization active in eastern countries. They have mastered the arsonist profession, and among the higher-ups of the organization, there is even a notorious, legendary profession called ‘Red-letter Hunter’.”

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat. “Is this organization very famous?”

Richard answered, ” It’s a little notorious. Most of the members of this organization are wanted in major cities, including Ji Liu City, Baiyan City, Guardian Highland, and Jade Court. Jade Court, in particular, placed a high bounty on the members of the Silver Frost Brotherhood because of a murder that targeted a Wood Elf village many years ago.”

Matthew suggested, “I’m sure our lord would want to capture these hooligans from Silver Frost Brotherhood. It’s the Spring Festival today. Letting them come and go freely in the crowd will probably pose a hidden danger to public security. Do you want to take action?”

He knew that it was unlikely.

However, he also wanted to see the actual combat situation of a high-level Bandit.

As expected, Richard shook his head and said, “I’m retired. I’m only a civilian now. Moreover, the people who will deal with them are on their way.”

About 30 seconds later.

A row of fully armed guards filed in from the gate.

The leader was Blake, who was holding a short sword!

“Let’s go!”

As soon as the soldiers entered the door, the short Dean jumped up from the stool.

Bang bang bang!

With a few crisp sounds, before the customers in the hall could react, thick black smoke and raging flames rushed out from several corners!

The hall was in chaos.

“Through the back door!” Dean grabbed Mobley, who was slow to react. The two pushed away the panicked customers and quickly crossed the hall to the back door.

Dean breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not know how the garrison team discovered them, but he knew very well that he must not get entangled with these fully armed soldiers in a narrow space!

Even if he stabbed the other party with all of his might, he probably wouldn’t be able to cause any dents in the other party’s armor.

However, as long as they left the tavern and entered the complex neighborhood, they would enter their home ground.

Arsonists were never afraid of chaotic street battles, even if they were outnumbered.

Moreover, it was the Spring Festival today. As long as they went out of the back door, they would have an endless stream of people as cover and countless invisible hostages!

The two of them arrived at the back door under the cover of the thick smoke.

Dean looked back.

Very good.

The hall was in chaos.

Even the garrison member at the front was more than ten steps away from him!

“This distance is perfect!”

Dean looked fierce.

He took out two bottles of orange-red potion from his inventory and prepared to smash them.

But at this moment.

He suddenly felt his feet slip, and his entire body suddenly spun and fell forward!

He instinctively wanted to throw away the two bottles of Explosive Potion.

However, just as he was leaning forward.

The two bottles of medicine had disappeared without a trace!

“What’s the situation?”

Dean fell forward to the floor in shock and fury.

Bang! Bang!

He heard two heavy objects hitting the floor.

Before he could react to what had happened.

A strong garrison soldier had already used his knee to press down on his spine.

He suddenly felt like he couldn’t breathe!

Clang!

Another team member skillfully put heavy shackles on the two people who had fallen to the ground!

..

“Gentlemen, Rolling Stone Town does not welcome any members of the Silver Frost Brotherhood, but our prison welcomes you.”

Blake said righteously.

Only then did he notice the two people in the booth next to him.

“Eh? Mr. Richard and Matthew… Was it you? Oh, I understand. I was wondering why the two of them suddenly collapsed!”

Blake was enlightened.

Then, he winked at Matthew with an expression that said, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret for you.”

Matthew quickly explained, “It wasn’t me…”

However, his words were mercilessly interrupted by Richard. “That’s right. He did it. Good job, Matthew. I didn’t know you had such skills!”

As he spoke, he raised his glass. “To spring, I hope that the weather will be good this year and that everything will be peaceful.”

Then, he stood up and walked away with his gentleman’s cane.

When he passed by the two arsonists.

Richard deliberately stopped.

He smiled at the confused duo who had fallen to the ground and said, “Welcome to Rolling Stone Town!”

Matthew looked at this and was speechless.

..

[Observation: Richard used Stumbling Block to take down the arsonists Dean and Mobley successfully.]

..

[Stumbling Block: Tier 5 Thief ability. Able to take down any target and temporarily seal all their abilities.]

..

[Hint: You have obtained two Explosive Potions!]」

..

Matthew lowered his head in shock.

At this moment.

Only then did he realize that there were two bottles of orange-red potion in the right pocket of his shirt.

” A high-level Thief is so terrifying!”

Matthew was shocked.

..

..

Because today was the Spring Festival.

Matthew deliberately stayed at his home in town for dinner.

Putting aside her tall and fierce skeleton appearance, Peggy actually had the soul of a good wife and mother.

For dinner, there was garlic-roasted red sausage, honey-roasted chicken, croissants, salad with kale and strawberries, mushroom fried noodles, spinach egg soup, and special snacks from the Spring Festival.

Matthew was very satisfied.

After dinner.

He meditated in the basement for a while.

It was not until late at night that he packed his things and rushed out of town.

He had planned to spend the night at home.

However, tonight was coincidentally a full-moon night.

Matthew decided to try the Moonlight Society’s admission ticket he possessed!

Midnight.

Following the guidance of the moonlight.

He came to the center of the oak forest and began to call the Fairy Princess’ name softly.

Even if he had an entrance ticket, he would need the help of a Nature Soul to enter that strange space that only Druids could enter.

Coincidentally.

Lulu, the leader of the Oak Tree Fairies, was a Nature Soul.
