All the Necromancer Wants is to Plant Trees

......

Inside the cabin, Li Witchy took a sip of clear water and continued to speak:

"During the years I pursued the traces of the Curled-up Dragon, I had dealings with many people from the Su tribe. Some of them possessed advanced professions that were vastly different from those on the Aindora Continent. An elder of the Su tribe told me that in an even more ancient era, there was an elite profession in the Eastern Continent that had the ability to transcend life and death. Its name was 'Taoist'.

Unfortunately, the Su tribesmen who came by ship did not have the complete Taoist heritage. Some of them, using their professional skills, fused with the power of the indigenous shamans of the Barbarian Tooth Peninsula, and recreated a path that balanced life and death.

This advanced path was called 'Balance Messenger' among the Su tribesmen, and only professionals above level 8 could advance.

However, Balance Messengers are rare. I only heard of such a heritage on a remote island in the Aru Sea.

The Su tribesmen on that island were very reclusive, living in isolation from the world. I helped them kill a sea monster and was fortunate enough to gain their approval, but I still had no chance to come into contact with a real Balance Messenger.

Perhaps this is just a legend within the Su tribe. Controlling both life and death is against the norm in the professional system of the Aindora Continent."

Taoists and shamans.

Fused into a Balance Messenger?

Matthew suddenly became very interested in this heritage.

He had studied the information about the Su Kingdom given by Samantha, but unfortunately, most of it was elusive legends, or maps on how to get to the Su Kingdom.

There was very little information about the captain's son and the secret stash she mentioned.

Under these circumstances, Matthew had planned to take a steady path, that is, to advance to 'Senior Necromancer'.

After all, whether it's the Pale Lord or other undead advancements, they all tend to lean towards the evil camp to some extent.

Only the advancement of the Necromancer itself can maintain a subtle balance.

And the ceremony to advance to Senior Necromancer is not difficult.

Matthew just needs to find a few unfamiliar undead in the wilderness, and have a heart-to-heart talk with them all night.

Before dawn, by any means, if he can gain the approval of these unfamiliar undead, he can complete the 'Night of the Undead' ceremony and obtain the title of Senior Necromancer.

But relatively speaking, this way of advancement is more moderate, with almost no additional power increase.

It is Matthew's last choice.

But now it's different.

He unexpectedly learned about the heritage of the Balance Messenger from Li Witchy.

Whether it's a shaman or a Taoist, they should both be on the path of a spellcaster. It shouldn't be impossible for a Necromancer to try to advance.

Of course, all of this is currently just Matthew's speculation. According to Li Witchy, it's extremely difficult to obtain the heritage of the Balance Messenger.

Matthew just plans to give it a try.

If it doesn't work, he'll fall back on advancing to Senior Necromancer.

After all, he holds the path of life and death, and has the support of his domain. His combat power is several times that of ordinary people, so he doesn't crave the extra boost that special advancement brings.

At the moment, Matthew and Li Witchy talked a lot more about the content of that Su tribesman's island.

When Li Witchy learned that Matthew intended to advance to Balance Messenger, he didn't hesitate to ask Matthew to bring paper and pen, and he wrote a letter of recommendation for Matthew.

This move touched Matthew deeply.

Before he could voice his doubts, Li Witchy laughed and said:

"The oak trees have told me all about what you've done here, Matthew. You're a person who loves nature, and I don't want you to lean towards evil in the future. The Balance Messenger is the best advancement for you.

But you can't have too high expectations. When I was on the island, I found that the Su tribesmen didn't have any special abilities. They may have completely lost their ancestors' heritage - this is not surprising. No matter what race, a lot will be lost in the long dark ages."

After writing the letter of recommendation, Li Witchy said:

"And I'm not helping you for free. In the coming days, I will be staying in Rolling Stone Town for a long time. The bustling town is not suitable for me. Only your oak forest is more suitable as a place for cultivation. I hope you can agree to let me stay in the forest for a long time."

How could Matthew disagree when he heard this?

Eli left, and he was about to go out to find opportunities for advancement. It just so happened that a fifth-order big shot volunteered to stay.

Although Li Witchy is mostly here to monitor the movements in the Dark Region for Raga.

But as a beneficiary, Matthew still felt a lot more at ease.

At least the oak forest is safe in the short term.

The two chatted casually for a while.

In the end.

Li Witchy suddenly said very seriously:

"Matthew, you better not be away for too long when you go out for advancement."

Matthew asked solemnly:

"Why? Is something big going to happen here?"

Li Witchy nodded and said:

"A very serious matter - I'm afraid you'll be away for too long, and I'll take over your nest, and your harem will fall in love with me!"

Matthew was taken aback: "Harem?"

Li Witchy couldn't help but burst into laughter."Your oak trees, huh!"

"Didn't expect that, did you!"

Matthew chuckled awkwardly a couple of times.

Telling jokes, it seems, is not quite suitable for a monk!

...

After learning about the clues of the Balance Envoy from Li Witchy, Matthew began to speed up his preparations for advancement.

In addition to purchasing essential travel items, intelligence information was even more important.

The information from Li Witchy was not yet clear enough to be fully relied upon.

So, at four o'clock the next morning.

Matthew cheerfully arrived at the "Crucible House".

It was still the spacious top floor.

Matthew saw the mild-mannered Tower Spirit 177.

"Good morning, Matthew, you look like you're on cloud nine. As someone who's been there, I guess you're in love! And you're quite satisfied with your life with your partner, oh, just like me and Little Flower back in the day, it's quite nostalgic."

Tower Spirit 177 became somewhat melancholic as he spoke.

"That's not the case, I've just found the right opportunity for advancement."

Matthew quickly explained, "I have two things I want to consult you about."

Tower Spirit waved his hand generously, "Just ask, before Ronan comes back, I'll give you a 50% discount on consultation fees!"

Matthew asked curiously, "Aren't the consultation fees all yours?"

A look of grief and indignation immediately appeared on Tower Spirit's face, "No, I only get 10%! In fact, before Ronan comes back, I don't plan to hand over any consultation fees, so even after giving you a 50% discount, I still make more than before!"

It seems that Archmage Ronan is also quite adept at exploitation.

Matthew wisely didn't ask any further.

"Two keywords, the first is the Mark of the Undead, I want to know the origin and story of the Mark of the Undead, as well as potential solutions to the spread of the Mark; the second keyword is the Balance Envoy, this profession doesn't involve the Su Kingdom, but it does involve the Su people, don't tell me it's another classified matter."

He made his intentions clear.

Tower Spirit pondered for a moment, then suddenly shouted:

"Number 1001! Bring me the glowing thing on the cabinet!"

Soon, a panting little guy appeared from the elevator.

This was a Construct that was only half the size of a human, and it looked quite frail. It was carrying a file bag on its back, which was heavy and seemed to contain quite a lot.

"This is all the information from the Seven Holy Alliance about the Mark of the Undead, free of charge. The Alliance welcomes anyone who wants to solve the Mark of the Undead to contribute, but it's hard for you to find the answer you want directly from it. I suggest you take it back and read it slowly."

Tower Spirit handed the file bag to Matthew.

Then he proudly introduced the little Construct:

"See, Matthew? This is my new son, Number 1001! I've always felt too lonely, always looking for a partner isn't the way to go, so I thought I'd find myself a son, what do you think of him?"

Looking at the trembling little Construct, Matthew could only try to show a sincere smile, "Great kid, looks like he has a bright future!"

"You have a good eye, Matthew." Tower Spirit was delighted, "I knew he had a bright future, look, his eyes look just like mine, you can tell we're father and son, there's no mistake!"

With that, he was about to pick up Number 1001 and play with him for a while.

Matthew quickly reminded him, "There's also the Balance Envoy."

Tower Spirit looked blank, "Didn't I just say, that's classified content, anything related to the Su Kingdom is top secret, unless you can kill Ronan and take his place, but you can't do that now, can you, Matthew?"

"My advice is, you can go and try your luck, but don't get too deep. I think highly of you, once you've successfully advanced, please come to the Crucible House immediately, I'll handle the procedures for you to join the Seven Holy Alliance."

Matthew was somewhat surprised, "Me, join the Seven Holy Alliance?"

Tower Spirit nodded, "Of course, Ronan has already written a recommendation letter for you, as long as you reach the third rank, you can immediately become the highest-ranking member of the peripheral members, but after that, you'll have to rely on your own efforts, after all, Ronan's fate is uncertain, your status as a relation will also be greatly discounted."

As the strongest mage organization on the Aindora Continent, Matthew naturally wouldn't miss the Seven Holy Alliance.

The various arrangements of Archmage Ronan also warmed his heart.

"What, ready to leave after asking your questions?"

Tower Spirit, while playing with the little Construct, casually looked at Matthew.

Matthew showed an embarrassed smile:

"Actually, I have one more favor to ask."

Tower Spirit readily said, "Who are we kidding! We're the first two founders of the 'Ronan Must Die Organization', inseparable, just say what you need!"

Matthew completely ignored the rebel declaration in his words.

He took out the glass bottle from the Mysterious Spell Satchel.

"I know you've been lonely, so I found you a companion, of course, I'm not without demands, I hope you can train him well - when I take him from you, I hope to get a well-behaved little guy."Saying this, he smashed the bottle on the ground.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

After the bottle shattered, a frog jumped out from inside.

The Tower Spirit complained, "Hey Matthew, what do you take this place for, training ground? Do you think I'm some old madam in a brothel?"

"Besides, I'm not willing to play with just any creature. I have my own interests, hobbies, and preferences. Look at what you've brought me? A frog? I have absolutely no interest in it!"

As his words fell, the frog's body rapidly swelled, transforming into an absurdly fat Ogre.

"Who is it, who disturbed Sinwalk's sleep?!"

The Ogre roared discontentedly.

With a crisp bang.

Matthew saw the Tower Spirit smash Construct No. 1001 into a distant wall.

"Oh, son, you're still young, the upcoming training scene is not something you can watch."

Tower Spirit 177 stared intently at the Ogre's fleshy body.

His expression became increasingly playful.

......

Back at home.

Matthew had originally planned to go to the Lord's Mansion to discuss the matter of becoming an advisor with Zeller.

However, just as he was about to leave, the town's postman unexpectedly brought him a letter.

The envelope was large, adorned with green tree patterns around the edges, and tied with a beautiful bow made of silver ribbon.

The postmark showed.

This letter came from the sacred city of the wood elves, the "Emerald Jade Court".

Matthew pondered for a moment, then opened the letter.

A faint fragrance wafted out.
