บท 11: Evil Priest Camp
..
"Rapid growth?"
Matthew was delighted.
This was also the Druid's signature spell.
The " Green Growth Liquid " he used to plant trees was the potion version of this spell.
Its effect was lowered since the spell had been modified into a potion form.
If he could master this spell, his ability to plant trees would be comparable to a real Druid!
..
"Shapeshifting and rapid growth are the signature skills of Druids. It seems that the rewards for the quest 'Maintaining is also very important' are all Druid abilities...
" No, perhaps it has nothing to do with the mission but with my means of completing it. Whether it's dealing with the arsonists or the Order of Calamity, I have killed.
"In that case, is the system working in reward? The reward given for planting trees was the Bone Dragon of the Necromancy Element. But the reward for killing and fighting was related to druidism?"
..
Matthew pondered with interest.
There were not many samples at the moment, so it was not enough to make a conclusion.
But this did not stop him from making a bold assumption.
He glanced at the bottom of the mission panel.
The Tai Chi symbol had a new change.
The green dots on the left had already exceeded two-thirds.
It was not far from being fully charged.
He just didn't know what would happen if it was full.
On the other side, the gray light spots were still very faint.
However, it was much better than before.
Matthew had sharp eyes.
He could see that the gray speck of light at the bottom was trying its best to surge upward.
Whoosh!
The dot of light rushed to the 1/3 position.
..
" The Heart of Nature and the Path of the Undead."
Matthew guessed.
The rapid increase of the grey light spots should be related to the battle tonight.
The operating mechanism behind it still needed to be explored.
But not now.
Near the farm.
Some people had already discovered the disaster there.
More and more people came from the town and the countryside.
Matthew led the team back to the oak forest.
He sent the skeletons back to the cave.
Then, he said to Peggy, "I'll have to trouble you to walk back by yourself."
Peggy exclaimed, "It's so dark, and you want me to walk alone at night? I'll be afraid!"
Matthew coughed. "Then I'll summon the skeletons to keep you company?"
Peggy said hatefully, "You don't give me overtime pay and want me to walk home by myself. Necromancers like you really have zero consciences!"
Matthew shrugged. "I'm not that capable of teleporting you back. You have to understand me, Peggy."
Peggy's heart softened a little. " Alright, alright, I'll go back alone. But next time I work overtime, you have to give me at least one 'Soul Crystal.' When we signed the contract back then, you said as much…"
After sending off the talkative Tauren skeleton, Matthew looked to the north.
The merchant's ghost had mentioned the chaos in the Ghost Castle.
Combining that with the contents of the secret letter...
Even if the stronghold of the Order of Calamity was not within the Ghost Castle, it should be nearby.
Time was tight.
Matthew planned to eliminate the threat as soon as possible.
Thus, he leaped.
Whoosh!
A raven flew over the branches under the moonlight.
It headed northeast.
..
"The divination results are out. The enemy's location has been confirmed. They are in a valley near the Ghost Castle."
In the Main Hall.
A middle-aged man with a thin face, fully armed, was calmly patrolling the surroundings.
Some of the people present were stung by his burning gaze and unnaturally looked away.
There were also some people who raised their heads excitedly to welcome the other party's gaze.
They yearned for a chance to gain the recognition of the Lord of the Suki Family.
"Blake and Ann, each of you take a team and surround them from the southwest. You have to be fast and be careful of ambushes!
"Mr. Zeller, please continue to contact the Advanced Wizards of Baiyan City or Stormflow City. If there is anyone who is willing to help, agree to any conditions!
" Just as I expected, our enemies are not bandits who are blinded by money. They are a bunch of lunatics, scum, and cultists!
"As I said before, the Suki Family will never compromise with such evil scum. Your mission is to kill every villain you see.
"That's all."
In the quiet hall.
The Lord's voice was loud and clear.
A series of strict and unyielding orders were issued.
Those who received the specific mission were all delighted.
But gradually, there were also people who looked puzzled.
"Sir, will our radical actions agitate the other party? After all, Miss Sif is indeed in their hands."
An exceptionally handsome young man wearing a magic robe spoke.
This also echoed the doubts of the other people present.
The Suki Clan was indeed famous for its tough attitude toward its enemies.
However, the problem now was…
Young Miss was in the hands of those villains!
If they followed the Lord's method, Sif's survival rate would be so low!
Everyone stared at the Lord in confusion.
The latter said coldly, "It's because they have Sif that we're doing this."
He did not explain too much.
Instead, he said to the handsome man, " Mr. Zeller, in addition to contacting the advanced mages, please pay attention to the clues we found before. Sif couldn't have been kidnapped out of thin air. You should understand what I mean."
Zeller nodded solemnly.
"Everyone, please take action. Use your fastest speed and your strongest strength."
The Lord waved his hand.
The people in the Main Hall gradually dispersed.
In the end.
Only the Lord was left alone.
He strolled to a window.
Not long after.
An owl flew in.
"To be honest, I don't understand the men of the Suki Family very well. You're clearly worried about your daughter, but you still make decisions that might harm her."
The owl asked in confusion.
The Suki Family's Lord took a deep breath. "In front of everyone, I will always be the head of the Suki Family and nothing else.
"Every word I say represents my family.
"The Suki Family would never compromise with evil.
"This is our motto."
The owl was even more confused.
"Then why did you call me over?"
The Lord said, "I know you can transform into a giant eagle."
The owl nodded. "Yes."
"Take me to the Ghost Castle, and the favor you owe me back then will be written off."
The Lord said decisively.
The owl thought for a moment.
He nodded and said, "Sure."
"But it seems that the patriarch of the Suki Family wouldn't take this risk."
The Lord tightened his grip on the sword at his waist.
"At this time, I'm also Sif's father."
..
An hour later.
The raven flew over the barren mountains under the moonlight.
Occasionally, a ghostly wail could be heard from afar.
The Ghost Castle stood at the highest point of the barren mountain.
The fog around it never dissipated.
Even if the moon hung high in the sky tonight.
Matthew could only vaguely see the outline of the castle.
He stared at the mountain fog.
He had a bad feeling.
It was as if there was a pair of eerie eyes staring at him in the fog.
..
" It's said that before the castle was abandoned, it was the former residence of a hero of the human kingdom. It was once prosperous and noisy, but after a strange disaster, a large number of people living in the castle died. The survivors fled in a hurry, and no one could tell what happened.
"Later on, it wasn't that no one explored it, but the adventurers who dared to barge into the castle didn't manage to come out in the end. It was as if they were swallowed by the fog.
" The last time someone explored the castle, it was a famous necromancer in Baiyan City. He got the news from somewhere and publicly declared that the 'secret to immortality' was hidden in the castle. He insisted on entering it.
"The necromancer was no exception.
"When he was exploring the castle, he had a fierce battle with a group of demons from the lower world, the Old Onibabas, outside the gate. Therefore, the castle was also called the Onibabas Castle."
..
He recalled the conversation he had with Blake.
Matthew suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
His perception told him.
This castle was not something that he could explore at his current level.
Fortunately, his destination tonight wasn't Ghost Castle.
He avoided the strange fog.
The raven leaned to the west.
After a while.
In the middle of the mountain range ahead of them, there were sporadic sparks of fire.
It was a dangerous valley.
There were guards at the entrance of the valley.
However, the guard's attitude seemed to be more relaxed.
Matthew naturally lowered his altitude.
He glanced at the mission panel.
..
[Mission progress has been updated: You have discovered the Evil Priest's Camp!]」
..
Matthew didn't rush in.
The mission target was an Evil Priest.
This class usually had an extremely high perception.
A sudden appearance of a Raven could easily alert the enemy.
He flew a circle around the valley entrance and skillfully stopped in the bushes beside the mountain path.
"There was a battle here. Perhaps even more than one."
The mountain path was filled with corpses.
There were humans.
There were also smaller humanoid creatures.
It was a lizard monster!
Matthew made a judgment based on his knowledge.
"The wilderness is so convenient. For a necromancer, an ownerless corpse is a gift from nature…"
He decisively transformed back into his human form and began to summon skeletons.
The incantation and Matthew's magic power injected a mysterious color into the messy pile of corpses under the moonlight.
One by one, the skeletons stood up from the blood.
Their condition was very ordinary. The soul fire in their brains was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and the bones on their bodies were in a mess. Some of them were even a mixture of lizard monsters and humans, looking very strange and terrifying.
This was the lowest-level cannon fodder skeleton.
They were nothing compared to the elites Matthew had hidden in the cellar.
But it was enough to scare the laymen.
..
The magic wave of the Undead Summoning Spell quickly attracted the attention of the camp.
A fat man who was more than two meters tall moved over, surrounded by a group of minions.
He was wearing heavy armor.
Behind him, two teams of people were holding a huge battle axe and a mace for him.
"Hey! Necromancer? What are you doing?"
Fatty looked at Matthew with fear.
Matthew was still summoning skeletons.
"Don't you have eyes? I'm giving these souls a new life."
Fatty said angrily, "They are my people! Even if they die, they are still my corpses!"
Matthew said arrogantly, "Not anymore."
Bang!
Fatty stomped his feet in anger.
The already loose mountain path began to shake.
"Do you want to be my enemy?"
Matthew looked at him with a faint smile.
"Your body's grease can be used to refine a lot of corpse oil, but I won't consider making you my slave because your bones must have been worn out in order to support your body when you are alive."
"Kill him!"
Fatty was about to make a move.
A dignified voice suddenly came from the camp, "Enough!"
Fatty was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
"Fein, let me kill him! How dare he mock my figure? No one dares to do that!"
However, the minions around him quickly dispersed.
A man in a silver robe appeared in front of Matthew.
He looked to be about 30 years old. He had blond hair and blue eyes. He looked decent and had the temperament of a decent person.
"Tell us why you're here, Necromancer. Otherwise, don't blame us for taking action."
Fein looked down at Matthew.
"Are you Fein?"
Matthew was also scrutinizing him.
"I killed an arsonist and found this. I'm interested in the business you mentioned, so I came here."
He threw the secret letter over.
Fein glanced at the letter.
He suddenly laughed.
"You killed my friend and still dare to come looking for me?"
His originally dignified and upright face also became a little demonic because of this smile.
"If you would call that trash your friend, then I would be very disappointed," Matthew said rudely.
Fein laughed.
"He used to be, but not anymore.
"You killed him, so you replaced him to become a part of our cause.
" Come in first, my friend. As long as you're interested in the great cause of the Order of Calamity, we'll definitely get along well."
