A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 28: Bondage Master

Matthew made a straw doll for Soldier to demonstrate on the spot.

The result was quite shocking.

"If Soldier\'s Shadowstrike hits you, not to mention fragile skin, even a close-combat unit around tier 3 and below medium armor will have to shed a layer of skin!"

What was worse was that…

Shadowstrike was only the beginning of a series of combos for Rogues after they got close.

Take Soldier\'s sword dancer as an example.

After Shadowstrike, it could immediately follow up with Burial Dance, a killer move with extremely high damage.

It was very difficult for low-level adventurers to resist such sudden and continuous explosive attacks.

"As expected, when fighting with rogues, not letting them get close is the first rule."

Matthew didn\'t think that Garcia\'s armor could last long when he was entangled by an elite Rogue. In his opinion, magic armor was the last layer. When you were forced to reveal your last layer, your life was not far from being controlled by others.

Of course, this did not mean that the last layer was not important.

The other blue keyword was " poison."

This was a keyword that included a series of minor skills such as identifying poison, extracting poison, making poison bottles, and smearing weapons with poison.

Due to his limited energy.

Matthew knew very little about herbal medicine and pharmacology.

Now that Soldier had gained such an ability, he could be considered to have made up for his shortcomings in this aspect.

"In the future, I can ask Soldier to collect poison and make more poison bottles. He can use them himself, and my crossbow will be more lethal."

If Shadowstrike and Poison were still within Matthew\'s knowledge.

The last two white keywords were hard to understand.

What the hell was " Farming Techniques "?

Could it be that Soldier was actually a farmer when he was alive?

[Nurture the Children?]

Did he raise small animals like pigs before he died?

Or was he a man with rich experience in raising human babies?

Matthew looked at Soldier in confusion.

The latter still responded to Matthew\'s gaze with a blank expression.

After a while.

Soldier looked away.

He found a spot in the corner of the bed and quietly sat down.

Matthew felt a little helpless.

"I didn\'t expect that the gray keyword that had just appeared would take effect so soon!"

[Slacking Off (Gray): Your skeleton has learned to slack off in non-combat mode.]

Fortunately, it was limited to non-combat states!

If it would slack off in battle, then Matthew would have to consider whether he should give him all the subsequent enhancements.

His gaze went past the gray keywords.

The good news was…

The last two keywords were both purple.

The bad news was…

These two keywords looked... a bit strange.

[Shadow Dance Steps (Purple): Your skeleton can quickly and violently twist its crotch to please and charm the target.]

[At the same time, when it was dancing, a part of its dance steps could cross the shadow realm, thus achieving the goal of speeding up the approach to the target.]

[Bondage Master (Purple): Your Skeleton is good at using rope skills (including binding), even when not in battle.]

[Requirements: To prepare for this skill, please prepare at least a strong enough magic rope for him.]

"So, what exactly does the Sword Dancer profession is about anyway?"

Matthew was deeply puzzled.

He looked at Soldier again.

The latter hesitated for a moment.

Then, he got up and twisted his hips at Matthew.

The air fluctuated slightly.

Matthew\'s eyelids twitched.

At that moment.

He felt dizzy!

"Stop!"

He pressed down on Soldier\'s restless crotch.

" I understand now. The dance steps are indeed powerful. This should be infused with some kind of ritual spell."

Matthew rubbed his temples in an attempt to wake himself up.

If this continued…

He would probably feel that the skeleton in front of him had become more beautiful.

This was the effect of Charm.

His willpower wasn\'t low, and he was Soldier\'s master, but he was still affected.

If it was someone else…

Matthew suddenly felt a little more expectant!

He sized up Soldier.

He realized that this skeleton was very different from the others.

His bones were full and strong, and there were a lot of silver light spots inside. Compared to other skeletons, he was cleaner-so clean that he was almost unstained!

His entire body was covered with bones that were as white as jade and had silver edges.

"Have you bathed yourself?"

Matthew asked thoughtfully.

Soldier was stunned.

Ten seconds later.

He nodded uncertainly.

Matthew looked helpless.

Soldier was good at everything. He had great potential, but his Intelligence was too low.

This was also a common problem with undead creatures.

Even the powerful Bone Dragon Phily only had 4 points of Intelligence. Of course, Intelligence did not completely represent IQ, but those with low Intelligence usually did not have much of an IQ.

Soldier\'s current mental state was equivalent to a five-year-old child.

It was fine with Matthew\'s command.

However, if Matthew let Soldier go alone, it would be 100% likely to cause trouble!

"It seems that Peggy is indeed extraordinary. As expected of someone I risked my life to find in the Land of Gold."

Matthew\'s eyes were filled with nostalgia.

However, very quickly.

His memories were interrupted.

"Saber, saber, I…Me, saber!"

A thought came intermittently from Soldier\'s soul fire through the undying contract.

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

"You want a good saber? A short one?"

Ten seconds later.

"Two, two…Two." Soldier replied.

"I understand. I will forge two suitable daggers for you as soon as possible."

"Thank you. Master."

This time, the response only took three seconds.

[Due to your promise, Soldier (Skeleton)\'s loyalty to you has increased to 99!]」

"Those you nurture will be more loyal to you, after all!"

Matthew sighed.

After having a simple dinner in the small wooden house, it was already dark outside.

Matthew pushed the door open and walked out.

A faint white light flickered in the oak forest not far away.

The oak fairies that had been hiding in the dark during the day came out in full force.

Except for Princess Lulu, almost all the fairies were dancing around Ella the Owl.

Ella was standing on the crown of an oak tree.

Her eyes were tightly shut as she muttered something.

Faint divine spells spread out like ripples.

Matthew walked in the forest.

The feeling of being watched by pairs of kind eyes came back.

She was enlightening the oak forest.

As a Nature Soul favored by the Goddess of Moonlight, Ella\'s attainments in the Nature Domain were much higher than Lulu\'s.

Through the ritual of \'enlightenment\'.

She could inject more wisdom and vitality into the oak forest.

The oak trees became healthier as a result.

And in the long process of growth.

If there were someone to enlighten them, then there would be a higher probability of a tree spirit being born among them, which was what people often called the tree guardian.

If they were lucky, they might even give birth to one or two Tree Shepherds.

This was extremely beneficial to the development of the forest.

However, it also meant a great consumption for the creature casting the enlightenment.

Matthew\'s actions had been unpredictable.

Ella was afraid that he wouldn\'t go to get rid of the zerg tonight, so she fulfilled the promise Matthew had asked her to fulfill in advance.

[Hint: Your nature partner, Ella, has completed an enlightenment ritual for your oak forest.]

[Your Domain: Oak Tree has received a slight upgrade!」

\'There was such a benefit?\'

Matthew was overjoyed.

Enlightenment could not only benefit the oak trees but also strengthen his domain power?!

"Looks like I have to think of a way to get Ella to come over more after the three years are up."

Matthew thought.

The only uncertain factor was actually Lulu.

As a Nature Soul, Lulu had obviously regarded the oak forest as her habitat.

She could tolerate Ella coming here to cast enlightenment in the short term.

But as time passed.

She definitely couldn\'t take it.

Because this would be stepping on her territory.

"Lulu should have a similar ability in the future, right?" In his thoughts.

The white light in the forest had already faded.

The oak fairies vanished.

Ella dragged her exhausted body to Matthew.

"Hey Matthew, I did pretty well, didn\'t I?" Ella asked with her head down.

Matthew nodded.

He could feel the joy of the oak trees.

Ella was obviously not slacking.

Matthew\'s attitude naturally softened. "You\'ve worked hard, Ella. You did well."

Ella said happily, "Then can we remove the Zergs now?"

Matthew shook his head.

Under Ella\'s puzzled gaze, he asked, "Can you germinate?"

Ella seemed to have guessed something, so she nodded hard."I know, I know, Matthew. That is the basic skill of Nature\'s Soul! I know what you want me to do. You said that your job is to plant trees, and I see you carrying saplings around every day. So, have you used up all the saplings?"

Matthew said approvingly, " You\'re very smart. I don\'t have enough saplings, but I have a small greenhouse where I\'m cultivating some oak seeds. However, if I follow the normal process, their germinating speed will be too slow, so I want you to help me germinate them. You don\'t have to ripen them all. Just a small portion will do. We can do it in batches. As for the specifics, it depends on your physical condition.

"After all, you have just completed a round of enlightenment. You must have consumed a lot of energy."

Ella said impatiently, " Take me there. We don\'t need to do it in batches. I\'ll germinate all of them tonight!"

Matthew hesitated. "Is this okay? Your body…"

Ella was full of confidence.

"Don\'t underestimate the perseverance of the Nature Soul, Matthew!

"Isn\'t it just a small greenhouse? I can still withstand it!"

Twenty minutes later.

At Matthew\'s house in Rolling Stone Town.

In the greenhouse on the east side.

Peggy looked at the shocked Ella with interest.

"Is... is this the little greenhouse you were talking about?"

Miss Owl said in a trembling voice.

She looked at the endless mini greenhouses in front of her.

Her vision turned black, and she almost fainted!

" The previous owner of this house left behind a ritual field with folded space here, but my magic power is insufficient, so I can only activate a small portion. Currently, it only has an area of less than 15 acres."

Matthew said pleasantly, "Do you need me to introduce you to your future working environment in detail?"
