A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 300
Chapter 300: Matthew’s Impulse to Cast Spells
Translator: Lonelytree
As he spoke, he spread out a small map in front of the two of them. On it was drawn the division of the lords’ forces around Rolling Stone Town.
Rolling Stone Town bordered the two territories in the south.
One was the Highleaf Territory in the southwest, and the other was the Golden Fertile Field.
Further south of the golden fertile fields was the Red Mountain that Matthew had passed by in his carriage. It was a very rich commercial territory with great potential for war.
Once the feudal lord of Red Mountain gathers enough troops, he won’t just annex the golden fertile fields. Rolling Stone Town is also a thorn in their side when they go north.”
Zeller said,
Recently, I’ve heard a lot of rumours. Many territories in the south have broken out in friction, and some have directly erupted into war. For example, the northern area of Deep Blue Port has long become a battlefield. All signs point to the disappearance of the civilization lock that you told us about earlier. ”
Matthew scratched his head. He didn’t expect his knowledge to lose its effectiveness so quickly.
He was actually very concerned about the purpose of the gods’ actions. But now, a full-scale war seemed to be about to break out in the South. He didn’t know what the Seven Saint Alliance was going to do. “Actually, Rolling Stone Town isn’t afraid of war.” Zeller suddenly looked at Rheagar with a burning gaze.
“I just want to know if you’re ready.”
Rheagar subconsciously looked away. He gripped the newspaper tightly with both hands and said unnaturally,
“Of course, I’m ready to fight.”
Zeller looked at him deeply and didn’t continue on this topic.
“The other bad news comes from the Highleaf Territory.
“Two weeks ago, the high-mountain reservoir in the Highleaf Region suddenly collapsed. The water flooded the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain and also washed away the super waterwheel that the dwarves and the Highleaf City Lord had been operating for many years.
“Currently, the Highleaf Territory was severely affected by the flood. The villagers were displaced, and the cotton production this year would definitely decline.
“Although we have signed a long-term supply agreement with the High Leaf Territory, this kind of natural disaster is not covered by the agreement, so they can temporarily suspend the supply of cotton next year.
“The textile workshop in Rolling Stone Town cannot afford a shortage of cotton.
“You have to think of something, Rhaegar.”
Rheagar covered his head in pain.
“It’s cotton, cotton, cotton again! Can we figure this out next year?
“Damn it, is there no good news today?”
Zeller smiled and said,
Of course, there’s good news. The mayor of Deep Blue Port has sent us a letter of visit. If you agree, the 47 -year-old mayor, who has seven beautiful daughters, will bring her youngest daughter to visit Rolling Stone Town. This is great news for the single young people in the town.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Matthew.
Matthew was puzzled. “Do we still communicate with Deep Blue Harbor?”
Zeller explained,
“When Rheagar was young, he had a marriage agreement with the City lord’s wife. That marriage agreement was set by the parents of both parties. “According to the agreement, Rheazar should have married the gentle and virtuous city lord’s wife. However, he was too rebellious when he was young and secretly broke off the engagement against his father’s wishes.
“At that time, this matter caused quite a stir. In order to apologize, Rheagar’s father even personally went to Deep Blue Port.
“But even so, the relationship between the two sides had cooled down.
“After Rheagar became the new lord, Rolling Stone Town and Deep Blue Port were practically strangers.
“It was only in these few years after Rheagar’s wife ran away and the city lord died that the two sides somehow hooked up again.
“I’ve read the letter that lady wrote to Rheagar. It wasn’t very affectionate, but it was somewhat ambiguous.
“Therefore, this visit from Deep Blue Harbor was not only a benefit for you single youths, but it could also be a second spring for Rheagar.”
Rheagar said with dissatisfaction,
“Hey, aren’t you afraid that I’ll deduct your salary by saying such things in front of me?!”
Matthew spread his hands innocently. “I didn’t say anything.”
Zeller asked, “Why can’t I say these things?”
Rheagar looked around.
“Speak softly. Don’t let Sif hear you. I’m afraid she’ll misunderstand.
I haven’t seen Alena for many years. We’ve missed each other back then, and it’s hard to pick up the pieces now. Besides, I won’t marry her for Sif. Plus, it’s very troublesome to marry the lords of two territories. Should she marry into Rolling Stone Town, or should I run to Deep Blue Harbor? We’ll have to discuss this slowly.”
Soon, he seemed to realize that he had spoken too soon and changed the topic stiffly. “Matthew, why did you buy so many magnets?”
Matthew answered truthfully about the difficulties he had encountered in learning Disintegration.
“Disintegration? Is it the kind of spell that could strip people naked?”
Rheagar suddenly became interested.
He felt Matthew and Zeller’s strange gazes.
He explained,
“I mean, this spell can quickly melt the enemy’s armour. It’s a spell with great strategic value. We have to help Matthew master it, don’t we?”
Zeller looked away and asked Matthew,
“What problem are you facing now?”
Matthew said in distress, ” I realized that casting spells in the transformation domain requires a strong impulse. Malicious Transfiguration is based on malice, but Disintegration feels very strange. I can’t grasp it. I tried to turn my anger and malice towards the magnet, but I just couldn’t turn it into dust.”
“Impulsiveness? Some people said that the spells in the transformation domain were similar to the casting methods of Warlocks. This was not a lie.” Zeller said, “Rheagar, help him?”
Rheagar asked inexplicably, “How can I help? I’m not a mage.”
Zeller encouraged,
“Your mockery can greatly affect a person’s mood. It doesn’t have to be malicious as long as it can make Matthew have the urge to cast spells.
“Come on, you can do it.”
Rheagar put down the newspaper helplessly.
“To be honest, I think you should pay me,” he said to Matthew.
Matthew smiled apologetically.
“Your hair looks like a big frog when you go out today.”
Rheagar said suddenly.
Matthew didn’t feel anything.
Rheagar thought for a moment and said,
“I didn’t finish what I said last time. That night, other than your mother, your sister and younger sister all said that I was great.”
Matthew scratched his head and could not help but say, “Why don’t you push me a little further?”
Rheagar could only say,
“I think your Tauren skeleton is pretty good. Why don’t you give her to me?”
In an instant.
A familiar emotion surged into Matthew’s heart.
He had grasped the urge to cast a spell in time.
He raised his staff.
Disintegration! It slipped.
A grey light flashed.
The pyjamas on Rheagar’s body disappeared without a trace!
“Congratulations, Matthew!”
Zeller smiled.
However, at this moment, a figure holding a dress suddenly ran out of the corridor.
“Daddy, Daddy, what do you think of this new dress I bought?”
Behind the desk.
The half-naked Rheagar suddenly grabbed the newspaper on the table.
However, it only covered the lump of chest hair on his chest.
Sif looked at this scene in shock.
Her eyes darted back and forth between Rheagar, Matthew, and Zeller.
Then, she left obediently.
