All the Necromancer Wants is to Plant Trees

......

The Wind God Wyvern swooped down from the sky. As it flew over the Black Gate, a gust of wind suddenly swept up, blowing several Dragon Worshipers who were about to enter the gate back out.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Centered around the teleportation gate, a small crowd of people fell in the direction away from the Black Gate.

Seeing this, Matthew didn't hesitate. His wings flapped wildly, creating a terrifying vortex of air near the Black Gate!

Gale!

The Dragon Worshipers fell like dominoes.

The scene below was chaotic.

Matthew was about to start reaping when, to his surprise, several of the fallen believers exclaimed "Ouch!" and then a series of thumping sounds followed.

Matthew looked closely and saw that the cultists had turned into mist, weakly sprinkling onto the ground.

As the scale of the gale continued to expand.

More cultists were swept up, and the puddles on the ground grew larger.

Matthew finally realized where these "chaotic" Dragon Worshipers came from—

"Water Mirror Image (Marching Version)!"

This was at least a 4th level spell, and only those with the "Marching Spell Specialization" ability had a chance to cast it.

Matthew had a higher regard for the strength of the black-robed Blinken.

"Instant kill with 'Decree of Death', group point with 'Marching Spell Specialization', this is at least a hero template."

In fact.

The Decree of Death spell is only terrifying in name. If you encounter a ruthless person, you can easily resist it by grabbing a living creature from the side.

You know, this is a fifth-level spell!

This is the awkwardness of instant death spells.

What Matthew cared more about was the marching spell mastered by Blinken. No one would want to practice this alone. After all, it's time-consuming, laborious, and troublesome to study. Unless he has a well-trained army under his command!

After the images were dispelled one by one.

Matthew estimated that there were probably less than 100 Dragon Worshipers attacking the Black Banyan Dream.

Because at this time, only 12 people were left behind—

From their panicked expressions, they probably didn't know that their companions were just images!

And they were the cannon fodder to be sacrificed!

"So Blinken never intended to conquer the Black Banyan Dream from the beginning, he was just bluffing. His real target is probably the 'Verdant Branch' that Suya mentioned."

Matthew understood.

And the 12 Dragon Worshipers below, after losing the cover of the images, quickly became the targets of the Wind God Wyvern practicing dive grabbing.

After a series of screams.

The Black Gate slowly disappeared.

There was more tomato sauce on the ground.

And Matthew, still hovering in the air, was not satisfied.

He fully investigated for a while, and sure enough, he found two groups of Ground Fire Dragons still setting fires in the Banyan Forest to the east of the throne!

And Bobo was hitting them hard!

The next second.

The Wind God Wyvern let out a joyful long howl, and rushed over with the gale.

"Hold on, Bobo, I'm coming!"

On the throne in the distance.

Suya was gazing into the distance.

"He seems to hate these Dragon Worshipers very much, hehe, is it because he cares about me?"

A hint of smugness flashed in her eyes from time to time.

What she didn't realize was.

Lumiere, covered in blood, was looking at the Spirit of the Rainforest close at hand and the Wind God Wyvern in the distance with a very complicated look.

His expression was very twisted: there was confusion, discomfort, and more of a deep bewilderment.

In the end, all emotions were retracted.

Lumiere nodded thoughtfully.

At that moment.

He seemed to understand something.

......

"Prompt: You killed 12 Dragon Worshipers and resolved the crisis of the Black Banyan Dream.

You killed 28 Ground Fire Dragons and eliminated the fire crisis in the Banyan Forest.

You have received the rewards "Spell: Create Water" and "Spell: Food Purification".

Create Water (Drought): You can create up to 4 liters of water in an open container; or evenly distribute the same amount of water in an area of up to 10 cubic meters in the form of very small-scale rainfall, which can be used to extinguish flames and water plants.

You can use the Create Water spell 3 times a day.

Food Purification: You can purify a non-magical food, removing all toxins and diseases on it."

......

Isn't that why the Druid is the most suitable profession for travelers?

Even if you come here with nothing.

If you're hungry, you can pick some berries from the bushes. If you're thirsty, you can create water by rubbing your hands.

If you're afraid of eating dirty food and getting diarrhea, you can "purify food". If you don't have money to buy weapons, you can pick up a small twig from the ground and attach the "Oak Wand Spell" to it.

In the Wild Shape, you can go into the city to work and sell cuteness, or you can retreat into the wilderness and communicate deeply with animals.

It's indeed the most suitable profession for poor guys.

Even Matthew, seeing these two spells now, didn't despise them for being somewhat chicken ribs. If he had mastered "Food Purification" in Zeshui City, he might not have had to go seven or eight times a night.

After killing all the Ground Fire Dragons.

Matthew led Bobo to see Suya.

At this time, the area near the throne had returned to calm, and the animals summoned by Suya had also left one after another, leaving one body after another on the ground.

One by one, white lights emerged from the bodies and all merged into Suya's throne.

Even for Suya, who stood at the top of the Spirit of Nature, transforming all the animal spirits into even the lowest level Spirit of Nature was extremely difficult. Even before becoming a demigod, a large-scale promotion ceremony was a big challenge for her.

Bobo walked over, curiously looking at Suya, and couldn't help but say enviously:

"Such white toes, wow, you're really tall."

Unexpectedly, Suya's attitude towards Bobo was surprisingly calm, much to Matthew's surprise.

She gave the dwarf a gentle smile:

"Thank you, you're very cute too."

Bobo jumped up excitedly:

"Did you hear that, Matthew? The Spirit of the Rainforest thinks I'm cute! She really has good taste!"

Since she had just done well in boxing, Matthew couldn't just brush her off, so he followed suit and complimented her a few times.

The blue light on Bobo's helmet was about to burst out of the bulb.

At this moment, Lumiere came over.

Suya immediately became serious, sitting upright on her throne, her demeanor instantly changing from a friendly big sister next door to a high and mighty queen:

"They have taken the Verdant Branch."

"That man in the black robe, Blinken of the Dragon Worship Sect, used the Book of Blasphemy to weaken my power and forcibly pry open the door to the Black Banyan Dream.

He perfectly seized my weakest moment, because just before this, I was preparing the promotion ceremony for the 'War Beasts'. The ceremony was not yet successful, my loss was great, so it gave them an opportunity."

As her words fell.

Two circles of white light lit up on the altar in front of the throne.

Everyone looked closely.

Lying in the white light were the miniaturized phantoms of the Tyrannosaurus and the Wind God Winged Dragon.

Matthew understood.

'War Beasts' are a kind of transcendent spirit of nature, only the lord-level monsters that tear apart all competitors and crush their contemporaries in nature have the chance to become War Beasts.

For example, after the Tyrannosaurus was promoted to War Beast by Suya, they became the guardians of the Black Banyan Dream. As long as the Black Banyan Dream survives, they can survive.

At the same time, War Beasts can retain most of their power from their lifetime, they even have the chance to reshape their bodies, unlike most spirits of nature that exist in spirit form, always lacking some defects due to the lack of a physical body.

Correspondingly, the promotion of War Beasts also greatly drains the host of the ceremony, let alone promoting two at the same time.

Matthew stared straight into Suya's eyes, the latter's expression didn't change much.

But Matthew had already realized that Suya might have predicted the impending crisis, which is why she let the two lords, the Wind God Winged Dragon and the Tyrannosaurus, die at his and Lumiere's hands.

Because only in this way, she would have the opportunity to hold the promotion ceremony for them to become War Beasts.

In retrospect, this choice was not a problem at all. If Blinken could directly pry open the door to the Black Banyan Dream, then all of this had nothing to do with the ecological niche of the material world's rainforest.

It can only be said that Blinken had been plotting for a long time, and was very decisive, perfectly seizing the opportunity.

After pondering.

Just as Matthew was about to ask some details, suddenly, he felt a pain on the top of his foot, as if someone had stepped on it heavily!

But the force was controlled perfectly, causing Matthew a slight pain, but not enough to make him scream. After the pain, there was a slight numbness.

Matthew frowned at Suya.

The latter looked calm, dignified, like a statue being worshipped by believers.

Matthew even began to doubt if it was her who stepped on him!

But this is the Black Banyan Dream, who else could it be besides her?

"What exactly is the 'Book of Blasphemy'?"

Fortunately, his companion Bobo asked the question that was on Matthew's mind.

"The Book of Blasphemy is a true artifact. In theory, Blinken only possesses one-fifth of it, so it can only have the effect of a semi-artifact. Fifty years ago, this semi-artifact was safely stored in a secret vault of the Seven Holy Alliances. However, Blinken, who was already a member of the vault's guard, had long coveted the fragments of the Book of Blasphemy. So he meticulously planned a series of schemes, and in the end, he successfully escaped with the fragments and joined the Dragon Worship Sect."

The one who answered everyone's question was not Suya.

But a young man who slowly walked out from the shadow under the banyan tree.

He was thin and short, with dark skin but white teeth. His smile gave people a shy feeling.

"Hello, everyone, my name is Hugh, I'm from the Special Affairs Department of the Seven Holy Alliances, I'm a top spy, my job is to keep an eye on the Dragon Worship Sect in the desert, um, can you, can you stop staring at me. I stutter a bit, when a lot of people look at me, I get nervous, thank you."

Hugh finished these two paragraphs as if reciting a script.

Suya helped introduce him:

"I've known Hugh for many years, he's been active in the desert area. Before the Dragon Worship Sect launched a major attack, he warned me, but Blinken came too fast, leaving me less than an hour to react."

Hugh turned his head away, not looking at anyone, and said smoothly:

"It's not your fault, Lady Suya, Blinken is the third in command of the Dragon Witch Sect, his strength is unimaginable, and no one knew he would suddenly go mad."

"Um, everyone, if you don't mind, can I introduce the background of the Dragon Worship Sect?"

Everyone was curious and nodded in agreement.

Only Matthew's nod was a bit slower.

Because just now.

He felt a foot rubbing back and forth on his foot.

This time it wasn't a step.

But it seemed more torturous than stepping!

"Is it Suya? What is this woman up to? She just lost the Verdant Branch, she can't possibly be in the mood to flirt with me..."

Matthew's mind was a bit chaotic.

But soon he was listening attentively.

......

"The Dragon Worship Sect originated from the worship of the Dragon of the Dead, Arina, but in fact, Arina really dislikes them. She once personally told the person in charge of negotiating with her in the Seven Holy Alliances:"If possible, I wish to be the only Dragon Lich in this world. I enjoy solitude and do not crave for my kind. More of my kind means more competition. I'd rather lie in my grave counting flies every day than see more Dragon Liches in this world."

Although this statement was made by Arina in an attempt to distance herself from the Dragon Cult, we believe it holds some truth.

Arina is merely a spiritual totem used by the Dragon Cult to attract followers. Their real leader is actually a mage named Isabelle.

Speaking of which, I have to air some dirty laundry. As the current Southern Guardian, Mr. Ronan's teacher, Isabelle was once the "Sky-reaching Mage" of the previous generation of the Seven Saints Alliance, a level above thirty, also known as the legendary "God Mage".

Yes, she is a traitor to the Seven Saints Alliance.

This is one of the reasons why the Seven Saints Alliance has not yet eradicated the Dragon Cult.

We do not know why the former Sky-reaching Mage, the human guardian, defected.

Fortunately, although Isabelle has gone mad, she is not too evil.

The Alliance has paid a heavy price to stop her.

After several hard-fought battles, we have eliminated a considerable number of Dragon Cult members, and Isabelle has been persuaded to voluntarily confine herself.

Some senior members of the Alliance still accompany her day and night, and her mental condition is still okay.

The Dragon Cult we see now is mainly secretly controlled by two mages, both of whom were once proud students of Miss Isabelle. The one I am monitoring, Blinken, is mainly responsible for the cult's activities in the south.

He is very cunning and elusive. The Alliance has sent people to catch him several times, but he has always escaped.

This time I caught his trail, but I dare not act rashly and am waiting for further orders from my superiors.

From my observation.

Before attacking the rainforest, Blinken had been staying in the desert, patiently chatting with the blue dragon every day, trying to persuade it to join the Dragon Lich Cult after its life was exhausted.

However, the blue dragon is only interested in the wealth of the Dragon Cult. It has taken money several times but refuses to sign a contract. Blinken is secretly very annoyed.

But the blue dragon is shameless and cautious, and he can't do anything about it.

Blinken is indeed capable. While dealing with the blue dragon in the desert, he did not forget to arrange the Dragon Cult's business in the city.

He has a business mind, casinos, brothels, magic shops... whatever makes money.

Under his management, the Dragon Cult's business is booming. Many local bosses in the cities of the Gold Coast have tried to cause trouble for them, but all have ended up with nothing.

And he still spends most of his time in the desert dealing with the blue dragon.

This is truly admirable.

I thought this situation would continue until either the blue dragon or Blinken made a move.

But not long ago, I received a message from an insider of the Dragon Cult. He told me—

A member of the Dragon Cult overheard a drunkard in a tavern in Kordo City saying that they had found a dragon tomb in the rainforest and they were about to get rich.

Afterwards, the Dragon Cult member confirmed that the drunkard was a mid-level leader of the Sand Thief Gang.

Since that day, the Sand Thief Gang has been in turmoil.

Afterwards, Blinken made inquiries from various sources, and somehow determined that there was a dragon tomb in the rainforest.

You should know that the Book of Blasphemy records another horrifying method of creating Dragon Liches, but it requires a large number of dead dragon bones.

The news of the dragon tomb directly stimulated Blinken.

He almost immediately ordered to temporarily abandon negotiations with the blue dragon and mobilized a large amount of resources to the edge of the rainforest.

He is now cutting down trees and building factories on a large scale.

He probably knows that he will face resistance from the creatures of the rainforest and is prepared to fight to the death."

……

Dragon tomb?

Matthew and the others looked at each other, feeling somewhat baffled.

Thinking of the Cataclysm Cult and the Sand Thief Gang who appeared by the Great Dragon Lake that day.

He couldn't help but doubt whether Blinken had made a mistake.

"Did he mistake the tomb of King Mingtan for the dragon tomb? That's a huge mistake!"

Matthew pondered, the strange feeling in his calf came again.

After trying to adjust his position, moving forward and backward to no avail, he could only use his willpower to forcibly ignore the numbness in his calf.

On the throne.

Suya propped her cheek with one hand, crossed her legs, the top one swinging back and forth, her pale little feet unconsciously squeezing forward.

Her expression was innocent and sacred.

This left Matthew speechless.

He didn't understand why Suya was doing this, so he could only silently endure her humiliation.

"Anyway, according to my information, the Dragon Cult has temporarily allied with the Cataclysm Cult from the Dark Realm. The two sides have reached a certain agreement, and the people of the Cataclysm Cult also seem to be very interested in the legendary dragon tomb."

Hugh spoke eloquently:

"As for what's going on with the Sand Thief Gang, I don't know."

At this point.

His expression and tone became very sincere:

"Regardless, Blinken's actions must be stopped. Not to mention what will happen if he finds the dragon tomb, before that, the safety of the rainforest creatures and the Black Banyan Dream are in great danger."

"Normally, this matter should be handled by my superiors, but recently there seems to be some malfunction in the Alliance, and all communication rituals can't be used. And I'm just a spy without combat power, so I have no choice but to seek help from others.""Now, on behalf of the Seven Saints Alliance, I formally request your assistance. Can you help stop Blinken's actions? If you can kill him or capture him, it would be even better. The Seven Saints Alliance has never been stingy with rewards in this regard. I can guarantee that upon successful completion of the task, you will at least receive a magic equipment or item rated L2 or above!"

Matthew was about to agree.

But a delicate voice came from beside him:

"Don't go!"
