A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 516
Chapter 516: Homeless Corpses
Translator: Lonelytree
While Chuka was discussing these conditions.
Richard looked at Matthew with confusion.
Clearly, he was responsible for all these scamming.
Matthew could only smile bitterly.
He really didn’t teach Peggy anything.
On the contrary, the Tauren had caused him some problems.
Fortunately, both sides reached an agreement in the end.
After agreeing on the daily training time.
Zeller and Richard declined the invitation to stay for dinner.
The three of them discussed it again.
Zeller decided to send Sif to Matthew’s cemetery overnight.
At this point.
The storm of the Thousand Transformers had entered a defensive phase.
Before he obtained more evidence.
It would also be difficult for them to carry out the next step of the investigation.
Matthew planned to go to the Cauldron House to look up information on the Thousand Transformers and ask Margaret or Fandral for relevant information.
However, right after Zeller left.
Peggu found Matthew with a letter.
“I went back to our house in town this morning. There was a letter in the mailbox, so I brought it over for you.”
Matthew took the envelope and read it.
The mailing address was the Harpy Inn on Apple Avenue.
As for the sender.
It was Lumiere.
He quickly opened the letter and read it.
“Dear Wuhew, hello.
“I’m sorry I wrote your name wrong last time. It’s not the fault of the inspector. It should be my pronunciation that caused her to mistake a few letters.
“After that, I learned to read and write from her for a long time.
“Recently, my writing level has been on the rise.
“Not only have I mastered the correct way of reading and writing, but I have also learned many idioms from her. I will try to use some idioms in this letter. I hope you don’t mind.
“I’m not trying to show off or increase your reading load.
“I was just applying what I had learned.
“Last time, you wrote to me and said that you could recommend a job for me.
“But thank you for your kindness.
“I’m doing fine now, so I won’t trouble you.
“Mining work really suits me.
“In terms of remuneration, the more you work, the more you get. They have never owed me my salary like they did to other workers.
“I guess it was because my efforts moved them.
“More importantly…
“This job is a good training.
“I could clearly sense that my strength was slowly increasing.
“In addition.
“My communication skills have also improved over time.
“Even though everyone disliked me at first.
“However, with my hard work, I quickly became one with them.
“Last week.
“I was promoted to captain, and my position in this mine was second only to the supervisor.
“Everyone was convinced.
“I thought that my work in the mine would always be smooth sailing. “However, something unfortunate happened very quickly.
“The second day after I became the captain.
“A group of goblins attacked six miners under my command. Five of them died in the depths of the mine, and the one who escaped only had one arm left.
“The supervisor was worried when he learned of this.
“He was worried that the boss would order the closure of the mine.
“However, the matter was too big, and he could not suppress it. He could only report it all.
“The facts proved that the supervisor’s worries were correct.
“Our boss is a very famous wealthy businessman on Apple Avenue. His wife is the female lord of Silver Scale Town. I heard that the husband and wife seem to be in harmony, but they are also very powerful in the local area.
“The boss was a paranoid guy.
“He thought that the goblins attacked the miners because we dug too deep, and in the end, they closed the mine.
“I lost my job.
“Although the supervisor didn’t lose his job, he seemed to have suffered a deeper blow than me.
“I hate those goblins.
“They ruined my perfect job.
“Thus, on the night I received the order to shut down the mine, I entered the depths of the mine alone.
“I followed the smell and found the bodies of the miners. There was not much meat left on their bones.
“I carried the corpses out and set off again. This time, I successfully found the goblin camp.
“I used two days to kill about 300 goblins and 20 bugbears.
“However, this still couldn’t quell the anger in my heart.
“Thus, I continued down for another few dozen kilometres, only stopping when I encountered a half-demon.
“The half-demon asked me why I was slaughtering his goblin underlings. “I answered without hesitation, ‘They are affecting my mining.’ “He looked stunned.
“I know that demons like them can’t understand my love for work.
“Considering that he was the leader of the gnomes.
“So I killed him too.
“When I appeared in front of the supervisor with the demon’s head and the ears of more than 300 goblins.
“I thought he would cry tears of joy.
“But in fact, he almost cried.
“He was just scared to tears.
“He looked completely terrified.
“It’s the same with the supervisor.
“She was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.
“In a panic, they placed all their money and jewellery in front of me and asked me to take them away and not hurt them.
“I don’t understand why they’re so fragile.
“After that, I gradually realized that the power I possessed was something that many people in the outside world could only dream of.
“I told them I wasn’t a robber.
“I was just angry that the goblins ruined my plan.
“But they didn’t believe it.
“At that time, they begged me to take a large sum of money and leave.
“I’m really baffled.
“But I’m still very happy to get money.
“However, after leaving the mine.
“A few days later, I found a notice on a hotel on Apple Avenue announcing the capture of a fugitive.
“I went over to take a look.
“The person above is actually me!
“The crime was a home invasion.
“The bounty was 3000 gold coins!
“Can you believe it?
“I’m actually worth 3000 gold coins?
“At that moment, I really wanted to arrest myself.
“But somehow, I seem to be in trouble.
“I tried to return to the mine to explain to the supervisor and the worker, but they had already fled.
“Fortunately, the area I was in didn’t seem to be quiet.
“The army from Lion City was sweeping through the nearby small territories.
“Everyone here was in danger.
“When I was wandering in the wilderness, I passed by the hills south of Apple Avenue and found a large number of corpses there.
“They were all soldiers from nearby territories.
“Along the way, some villages were also massacred.
“There were corpses everywhere.
“There was no one to deal with it.
“That’s why I’m writing this letter so urgently-
“I heard from the elders in the tribe that if a large number of corpses are not dealt with as soon as possible, it is easy to cause a plague. “The uncollected corpses here urgently needed a home.
“So I thought of you.
“A kind necromancer.
“You must have a way to deal with them, right?
“The battle near Deep Blue Harbor continued.
“It was expected that more corpses would appear in the future.
“I don’t like this kind of scene.
“So I plan to head north, past Lion City, to a more civilized place.
“I believe that with your kind heart.
“You should be able to give these homeless corpses a home.
“I thank you on behalf of their parents and relatives in heaven!
“- Lumiere the Unemployed.”
