The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 149 Why Do You Masters Learn Everything?
……

The magic carpet was very conspicuous, and the bully frogs noticed it as soon as they lowered the height.

They looked at the magic carpet vigilantly, croaking, and a few bully frogmen even raised their spears.

But they were soon stopped by another bullyrog who appeared to be the leader.

Matthew noticed that the bullyrogs had green skin, which meant that they were warriors by profession.

The bully frogmen are a race with strict social hierarchy and clear division of labor.

Inside, everything is divided by caste, and the specific symbol of caste is skin color.

Green and blue-skinned bullyrogs are low castes, the former are mainly warriors, hunters, and low-level laborers;
The latter are servants of artisans or high-caste bullyrogs.

Purple and red are middle castes.

Purple bullyrogs are usually conductors, leaders, and possibly overseers who oversee laborers or slaves;
Red bullyrogs are generally scholars or low-level spellcasters.

Further up is the very rare high caste.

There are elite warriors with orange skin, and there are also bully frog royals with golden skin.

Wielding powers unimaginable to other bullyrogs, they hold a firm grip on dominion.

However, Matthew did not underestimate the group of green bully frogmen in front of him. Their social status may be low, but their combat effectiveness may not be so.

Just to be cautious.

Matthew docked the magic carpet on another small hill. The distance between the two sides was more than 100 meters, and there was enough buffer space.

Rega lazily walked off the magic carpet with a big sword in his hand. Looking at the bully frogmen who were swarming over, he asked:
"Do you need me to anoint you with oil?"

Matthew shook his head:

"Not in a hurry."

With that said, he greeted him.

The bullyrogs dragged the woman over.

The guard in their eyes is very obvious.

Matthew played "Spotless" to himself as he walked, so that the badge on his chest would look more dazzling.

"It's an alliance mage!"

Seeing this, the leader of the bully frogs hurriedly turned around and told his companions, and then respectfully wanted to salute Matthew.

But at this time.

The woman suddenly escaped from the grasp of the two bullyrogs.

She jumped up from the ground suddenly, then ran to Matthew like crazy:

"Help me! Help me!"

"They want to kill me, these monsters snatched me back from the side of the road, they want to take me back to wash and cook for them, and have children! I don't want to live like that, please save me !"

She ran and yelled.

When passing by another bully frogger, she leaned over and slammed into his waist forcefully, knocking that bully frogger to the ground.

Several other bully frogmen were about to make a move, but were stopped by the leader.

The woman then ran to Matthew.

Hope was written all over her face.

But the next second.

Matthew raised his hand and a short chant sounded——

"Human immobilization!"

In an instant.

The woman was frozen in the running motion.

see this scene.

Rega was amazed:

"You really don't have the instinct to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

"Replacing it with another young man in his twenties, I'm afraid this is the script of the hero saving the beauty that he dreams of."

"Shouldn't you draw your sword and go up at a time like this?"

Matthew glanced at him:
"For whom?"

"She?"

Rhaegar shrugged.

"From my point of view, although the bully frog was punching and kicking her, he didn't kill her. On the contrary, this woman, while I was negotiating with the bully frog, made a sudden move and tried to kill her. Tendency to intensify conflicts."

Matthew said calmly:
"So if I have to choose a side between them, I might choose to help the bully frog instead of this human woman."

"Can you help me keep an eye on her?"

Rega made a gesture that you can rest assured that I will take care of things.

Matthew turned to the group of bully frogmen:
"I am a mage of the Alliance, what happened here?"

The leader of the bully frogs stammered:
"Master Master, hello, this woman, she, stole children, a lot of children, can not be found, our children, disappeared."

Matthew lost "Language proficiency".

Soon, he understood what the bully frogman was saying——

According to the warrior chief.

This woman claimed to be the leader of the caravan. They were attacked by robbers and fled after being seriously injured. As a result, they accidentally got lost and came to the territory of the bully frogmen.

She begged the bully frogs to save her life, and promised that when she recovered, she would be rewarded heavily.

The bully frog agreed and took her to the village to take care of her.

Who knows a few days.

They found that the children in the village began to disappear.

Wait until they suspect the woman's head.

She has escaped quietly.

If it wasn't for the shaman in the village who could track her location, they would never have found her.

When the two of Matthew came over.

This group of bully frog fighters had just found her hiding place, and they were going to take her back directly, but these fighters also had their children stolen, so they were very angry and decided to beat her up first.

According to the warrior chief.

The atmosphere in the village is very tense at the moment, and many female froggers are going crazy.

This woman is very important to them.

He begged Matthew to let them take the woman back to the village.

Matthew nodded after listening.

Compared with other sub-human races, the growth cycle of bully frogmen is quite long.

Its larvae will stay in the pond in the form of tadpoles for a full ninety days. During this period, the temperature of the pond must be ensured to be warm enough, otherwise the tadpoles may freeze to death.

During these [-] days, the tadpoles have completed metamorphosis and transformed into juvenile frogmen, and they can go ashore.

It's just that juvenile frogmen usually need 18 to 24 months of care before they can grow into young frogmen.

The same amount of time is required thereafter before they can enter the breeding season.

Compared with kobolds, goblins, jackals, etc., the birth cost of bully frogmen can be said to be relatively high.

No wonder female bullyrogs go crazy.

"Master, our shaman said that he saw this woman with another mage from the tracking technique, and they were premeditated."

The warrior leader looked at Matthew nervously.

Matthew replied firmly:
"If there is a mage involved, it must be a wild mage, not an alliance mage."

The warrior leader forced an ugly smile on his face:

"That's for sure, that's for sure!"

Matthew is not talking nonsense.

He now has a full understanding of the tonality of the alliance. If they need this kind of thing, it is impossible for them to come and steal it.

They will grab it straight away.

At this time, the effect of the woman's body-holding technique had expired, and she was pressed down by Rhaegar, and she could only roar hoarsely:

"They lie! Those monsters are lying, please don't believe them, they are evil monsters, and I, we are all human beings, we are compatriots, shouldn't the words of compatriots be more credible? They are deceiving you ah!"

Matthew watched her calmly:
"I'm only giving you one chance to tell me who is lying?"

"You should know that "lie detector" is a piece of cake for every mage. "

"By the way, let me introduce myself as a necromancer. If you dare to deceive me, you should know what will happen, right?"

Saying that, he snapped his fingers.

A Bing slowly emerged from the shadows, and the naked bones made the woman tremble with fright.

The bully frogs were also frightened and croaked.

"Now, answer me."

In the eyes of the woman at this moment, Matthew's whole body was full of evil aura.

She could only beg:

"I'm sorry my lord, but I have no other choice. I don't want to do this. Lord Spencer ordered me to do it. If I don't listen to him, he will..."

The begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

Rega took out a rag from nowhere and stuffed her mouth.

"The truth is revealed! How are you going to deal with it?"

he asks.

Matthew pondered:
"Give her to the bully frogmen and let them deal with it themselves. The crime of stealing a child is unforgivable for any race."

Rhaegar grabbed the woman and dragged her over mercilessly.

"Look, little frog."

Rhaegar gave the woman to the bullyfrogs.

The warrior leader showed gratitude, and the rest of the bully frogmen also nodded and bowed to the two of them.

Matthew asked:

"Are there any particularly large trees near here?"

After entering the moss-green hills.

The tracking effect of Enemy of the Woods is greatly reduced.

This is not to say that the effect of ritual magic has failed, but that it has been interfered by another kind of magical power.

That obviously came from the Blighters.

This is normal.

Prophecy and tracking spells are often interfered by the target.

The Blighters may not have discovered that they have been targeted by Matthew, but as a criminal organization that is not welcomed by the mainstream society, there is a high probability that they will update the anti-reconnaissance spells around the camp from time to time.

The coordinates in my mind are becoming more and more blurred for Matthew.

What he could vaguely see was a big tree that was rare in hilly areas.

It is most convenient to ask the natives about this kind of thing.

really.

The warrior leader immediately replied:

"Walking in this direction, after passing [-] hills, you can see a big tree, which is the "tree of falling snow", also known as the tree of ominous.The shaman warned us not to go too close to it, and the beasts near the ominous tree are more dangerous than normal. "

Snowfall tree?

Matthew was a little strange, so he asked about the origin of the name.

The warrior chief replied:
"That tree has snowflakes all year round, but that kind of snowflakes are not cold, but hot and humid. It is very uncomfortable when it falls on the skin, it will make people irritable, and they can't help but want to hug each other. Or fight."

Possibly the means of the Blighters.

Matthew thought he must have found the right direction.

But he asked again:
"Are there any monsters near the moss-green hills?"

The warrior leader thought for a while:
"There are none in most areas, only a few mountain wolves and leopards at most.

On the high mountain in the north of the hill, it is said that there is a Chimera living, but he usually moves further north, where there are human alpine pastures, and there are many sheep for him to steal.

Then there is a monastery on a strange hill in the northwest, which was blocked by alliance mages with runes, and there are many monks and knights wandering inside.

Finally, there is the Snowfall Tree, and there are some monsters nearby.

Some are very powerful, some are mediocre, so be careful if you want to go there. "

Matthew nodded secretly in his heart, what the warrior leader said basically matched the homework he had done in advance.

That monastery is called "Sunshine Monastery", and there are some death monks and death knell knights active in it.

Like the Hag Fort, it is a place with some problems, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

I don't know why the Seven Saints Alliance didn't wipe them out, but stayed on purpose.

Immediately, the two bid farewell to the bully frogmen, and flew towards the falling snow tree on the magic carpet.

Matthew noticed that Rhaegar seemed to be staring at the bully frogger all the time, so he asked:

"Have you never seen a bully frog?"

Rhaegar shook his head:

"How could it be possible that I haven't seen them? They are neighbors in Rolling Stone Town. But there is no conflict between us. I once looked at some bully frogmen from a distance during a tour of the territory in the early years, but we couldn't communicate with each other. .”

"I'm just observing their body structure and behavior habits to judge their combat effectiveness. I always feel that these guys should be pretty strong in a fight."

Matthew nodded:

"The bully frogmen are indeed one of the demi-humans with relatively good combat effectiveness. They have two main characteristics. The first is "madness".

Madness is the extraordinary energy unique to bully frogmen. They can breathe out magical energy through a certain way of squatting and deepening their breathing, which is a bit like the chant of a mage.

In this way, they can gather a certain amount of elemental power for themselves, but this elemental power manifests in an appearance similar to Qi.

Madness endows bully frogmen with melee abilities far superior to ordinary humans.

And another characteristic of them-different types of toxins, is also worth noting. "

talking.

Matthew casually handed over a piece of papyrus.

Rega took a closer look and found a detailed table of bully froggies' skin colors and corresponding toxins.

"The body surface of the bully frog will secrete a kind of venom, and the venom secreted by different skin colors has different effects. This is the homework I did last night. If you are interested, you can take a look."

After saying this, Matthew concentrated on controlling the flight of the magic carpet.

Flying at low altitude is actually a more difficult thing.

But considering flying too high is too conspicuous.

Matthew chose a flying height of 3 to 5 meters above the ground.

Rhaegar took the paper and read it carefully.

……

"Green Venom: After the target is poisoned, it cannot perform any movement actions except climbing and standing jump;
If the target is a flying unit, takeoff or landing actions cannot be completed.

Blue Venom: After the target is poisoned, it will keep screaming until the poison expires.

Purple: The poisoned target will be very eager to soak himself in the mud. He must be in contact with mud and liquids all the time, otherwise he will suffer from suffocation symptoms.

Red: The poisoned target will eat non-stop until all the edible items in the field of vision are eaten up, and the symptoms will be relieved; if there are no usable items in the field of vision, then the poisoned target may continue to gnaw fingers or toes .

Gold: After the target is poisoned, he is very eager to hug him.

Orange-red: The target will be charmed after being poisoned, and can only use frogman language to communicate.

During this time, he will think he is a tadpole and instinctively seek help from the frogman mother.

Other colors: It is said that there is a very small probability of birthing a rare super-high caste in the bully frog tribe. Their body surface toxin effect is even more amazing, but as long as you avoid direct contact with their skin or being injured by their weapons, You can basically dodge a disaster. "

……

"You did a lot of preparation!"

"But it's still a little worse than me."

As he spoke, he flicked his storage ring:
"Say we just go straight to that tree? No dinner or something? Look, it's getting dark."

Matthew stared at the front intently, and casually threw a piece of bread to Rhaegar.

after an hour.

A towering giant tree appeared on a distant hill.

"What a big tree!"

Rega exclaimed:
"Aren't you a necromancer? You should be able to communicate with the big tree, right?"

Matthew gave him a strange look:
"It would have been okay, but the inside of the tree has completely withered."

"Come on, let's go on foot."

Rhaegar reluctantly left the magic carpet.

The two walked for a while.

Suddenly.

On the hills on both sides, there were bursts of howling wolves!
Several mountain wolves appeared on the mountain bag.

Behind them is a whole pack of mountain wolves.

"Regar!"

Matthew suddenly turned up the volume.

Rhaegar put the big sword on the ground unhurriedly, and then began to dig out things:

"Don't worry, I'll apply some oil!"

Matthew stared at the movement of the mountain wolves, and took a moment to glance down:
"Which bottle of oil are you applying? Open the lid!"

Rhaegar took out a bottle of black sword oil with a label "Canine Creature Special Attack" on it.

He uncapped the bottle and laughed:
"Are you going to paint it for me?"

Matthew concentrated and tried to burst a syllable in the way of Suriel's singing.

The suddenly raised tone not only startled Rega, but even the mountain wolves on both sides took a few steps back in surprise.

next second.

Magical energy poured out from the bottle cap, and under Rhaegar's shocked gaze, the sword oil in the bottle flew out automatically.

Under the control of an invisible hand, the application of sword oil was completed in just two seconds!
"Trick: Grease Quickly!"

"Happy?"

"This is the spell I learned for you before I set off yesterday."

A smile was drawn on the corner of Matthew's mouth:
"Now, get on!"

Rhaegar waved the shining big sword with some annoyance, and he couldn't help cursing:
"Why do you mages learn everything?"

While summoning Renesme, Matthew urged:

"A few mountain wolves are attacking from the west, hurry up!"

Rega had no choice but to bite the bullet and push forward.

He rushed forward with a stride, and swung the big sword in his hand violently. Although he missed one of them, he frightened the mountain wolves.

"Come on, come on, wolf cubs!"

"Taste your Lord Rhaegar's great sword!"

Rega didn't come across it, but the movement was not small.

His move immediately attracted the attention of all the mountain wolves.

Even the mountain wolf that had appeared on Matthew's right before bypassed him and attacked Rhaegar.

Rhaegar apparently also noticed this scene.

He couldn't help complaining to Matthew:

"It's not good, Matthew, don't you think our team lacks a meat shield?"

Then he found Matthew staring at him with a strange look:
"What do you think Zeller asked you to do?"

Strange to say.

Rhaegar seemed to have a powerful attraction.

The mountain wolves completely ignored the existence of Matthew.

They attacked Rhaegar from all directions!

"Do something, Matthew!"

Lei Jia swung his sword vigorously, and finally cut down a few mountain wolves. I have to say that his weapon is really excellent. With the sword oil, chopping up mountain wolves is like cutting tofu dregs.

Matthew ordered Ah Bing to sweep the formation aside, and let Renee Smee output with all her strength.

He observed the situation and found that although Rhaegar barked fiercely, he was actually able to handle the mountain wolves with ease.

So Matthew quietly stuffed the attribute promotion scroll back.

He intends to use his spells to assist Rhaegar.

Yet at this time.

Pieces of snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky.

A nauseating rotten smell irritated Matthew's mouth and nose.

……

"Warning: You are about to step into the ritual field of the Wither Cult—the winter of all things!"
