A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 451: Matthew’s Mount

Translator: Lonelytree

Matthew let go of his hand, relieved.

Bang!

The huge mace smashed onto the ground, shattering the stone table into two halves.

The dark warrior silently looked at the remains on the ground, the soul fire in his eyes jumping slightly.

Matthew, who was fully immersed in the arm-wrestling process, did not notice this detail.

He took two deep breaths and returned to his human form.

I’m a mage. Strength isn’t my forte. If you want to see something else, I can show you some spells.”

Matthew said with a pleasant expression.

The more he looked at Argus, the more he liked him. Who wouldn’t love a chubby and perceptive baby?

He hadn’t even entered the cemetery, yet he already knew how to save face for his leader.

It seemed that he was just being modest when he said that he was not smart.

Argus asked cautiously,

“Will you still need to bring this mace with you when you cast spells?”

Matthew replied strangely, “Of course not.”

Argus sounded relieved. “Then please show me.”

So Matthew brought him to the northwest corner of the cemetery. This was the reserved training ground, and there were many stones piled up inside. Matthew faced one of the huge rocks and slowly chanted Deadly Scissors.

A few seconds later.

When the first pair of scissors made of negative energy appeared, the dark warrior’s soul fire trembled slightly.

Bang!

A loud sound rang out.

The scissors cut the rock in half.

After a while.

The second pair of scissors with negative energy appeared.

Matthew casually snapped.

Another stone was split into two, but this time, the cut was smoother.

Argus’ soul fire jumped again.

When the long third incantation was completed, the final deadly scissors appeared in the air.

Perhaps it was because the stone powder in the air was spreading.

Matthew accidentally sneezed.

In the next second.

The scissors tilted and were vaguely aimed at Argus.

Argus fell to his knees with a thud.

“I don’t need to see more!

“I acknowledge your strength from the bottom of my heart!”

Matthew rubbed his nose and was a little surprised by Argus’ change in

attitude. However, since the other party had said so, he naturally would not do anything unnecessary.

He controlled the Fatal Scissors and cut the air.

Thrust!

The terrifying negative energy flow tore through the nearby space.

There was a moment.

There was even a slight tear in the space in that area.

Argus watched everything silently.

The soul fire in his eyes throbbed violently.

It was not until Matthew finished his demonstration that he slowly stood up from the ground.

“Your power is amazing. I don’t have to see anything else.

However, I still need to stay in your cemetery for a while before I can confirm if I really like this place. I’ll give you a formal answer in seven days at most.”

The other party did not immediately agree.

But there should be a good result.

Matthew readily agreed. “Of course. I’m planning to draw some elites from the zombies, skeletons, and ghosts. Together with the dark warriors, we’ll form a powerful army.

“The members of the guards would be responsible for the daily patrol and security of the cemetery and the nearby underground city.

“They would also enjoy more negative energy fountains and other benefits that only senior members of the cemetery were entitled to.

“If you’re willing to stay.

“Then the position of commander of the guards will be yours.”

Argus was instantly flattered.

“Thank you for your kindness, sir!

“May I ask if this army is already being established?”

Matthew smiled slightly, indicating that it was not convenient for him to reveal more details.

In addition, he also told Argus that due to the principle of confidentiality, Argus could only visit a limited number of places before officially joining the cemetery.

For example, the dungeon where the arsonists were kept and the workshop where the arsonists could make use of their remaining energy were off-limits for now.

When Argus joined, wouldn’t it be more satisfying to let him build a guard army himself?

Matthew communicated with Argus for a while.

He discovered a surprising detail, which was that the shield that Argus had been carrying for a moment was not a bone shield.

It was an alloy shield that was full of technological colours!

However, it was covered with a layer of pitch-black ashes, making it impossible to tell what it was made of.

An Undead carried an alloy shield.

This kind of combination was quite rare. Matthew was very interested, so he asked,

“Can I touch your shield?”

Argus hesitated for a moment and finally nodded reluctantly.

“Sure, just for a moment.”

As he spoke, he placed the shield horizontally in front of him for Matthew to touch.

Matthew reached out and pressed his hands on it.

In the end, he didn’t let go.

Argus’ soul fire throbbed slightly, and Matthew felt a trace of grievance.

But he had no choice.

Perception required time.

After ten seconds of awkwardness, Matthew finally let go, and a pair of palm prints appeared on the shield.

On the data panel.
