A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

"I\'m already 117 years old this year…Or 127? I can\'t remember clearly either. No one can tell what time these days are.

" In the past many years, many of us, like me, had a naive thought: perhaps with the passage of time, we can forget the pain of the past.

" But the facts proved otherwise.

" As we grow older, the hatred in our hearts grows with each passing day. Lord Edmond said that we were influenced by the wandering souls in the skies of the Far East. Their hatred repeatedly overlapped with our memories in our dreams, resulting in what we are now.

"What he said is probably right.

" But we\'re too old. We\'re so old that we don\'t have the time, energy, or even the desire to distinguish these things…

"We only want revenge.

" Just as the Black Gold Troop swore when they were founded, destroy the invaders from the outer planes and the masterminds behind them!

" If it is our destiny to be assimilated by hatred, then let us bear this fate and be buried in the starry sky with our enemies.

"This is the wish of all of us.

"It\'s actually that simple."

The old man said firmly.

Matthew couldn\'t help but be infected by his emotions.

"From the very beginning, I never intended to persuade you to change your minds.

"I\'m very glad about this now."

The old man smiled.

"Thank you, Matthew.

" You\'re a very humble young man. I don\'t mean to flatter or ingratiate myself. This is the truth. Most people at your age are extremely arrogant.

" I\'ve seen too many self-righteous people, including myself, when I was young. At that time, it was too easy to be blinded by a leaf. They thought they could see the whole world, but they might only see a piece of shit in a corner of the world.

" But you\'re different. Thank you for your understanding."

Matthew blinked.

"You already saw through my plan?"

The old man burst into laughter.

"How can someone as smart as you have a head-on conflict with so many of us?

"To you, this is not a choice but a bargaining chip.

"Will you smash the chips that others give you?"

Matthew also laughed.

He shook the old man\'s hand hard.

"Take care."

The old man said boldly,

"Don\'t worry. We might be more tenacious than you think.

"Maybe one day, when you go out to travel in the astral world, you\'ll run into us!"

Matthew nodded.

"I hope so."

After chatting with the two mages.

Matthew found Alexander alone and pulled him to the Moonlight Forest to isolate a sealed space.

Matthew went straight to the point.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Alexander was stunned at first, but then he laughed in a low voice.

"It\'s still the same shrewd Matthew."

Matthew shrugged innocently.

"This has nothing to do with being shrewd. No one will refuse a favour."

As he spoke.

Matthew untied Rambo\'s anti-magic bracelet and belt and then took the electric shock collar with the remote control.

Then, he handed the package to Alexander.

"Count them and see if there are any missing ones."

Alexander didn\'t count them and kept them.

Matthew didn\'t say anything and handed over three more scrolls.

Alexander took the scroll and revealed a surprised expression.

These were three legendary scrolls!

They were discovered by Matthew in the underground palace of the Trolls, but they needed the blood of the Trolls to be identified. It would cost a lot of money to go through the channels of the Alliance, so Matthew had always kept them at the bottom of his box.

With the Black Gold Troop\'s configuration.

Matthew believed that identifying these three scrolls would be a piece of cake for Alexander.

As expected.

Alexander personally appraised the three scrolls on the spot.

Ten minutes later.

He accepted two of them and returned the third to Matthew.

"We don\'t have any use for this thing. You can keep it for yourself."

Alexander said.

Matthew took it and saw that it was a scroll for the " Great Resurrection Spell "!

" The Giant Demon\'s Great Resurrection Spell is very good. It\'s even more effective than our Resurrection Spell. It can almost resurrect the soul without affecting it!"

Alexander explained,

" But this thing can only be used within 30 minutes of death. It\'s easy for the effects to become cheaper after a long time."

Matthew nodded.

"Rambo said he owes you 500,000?"

Alexander asked again.

Since he had decided to do him a favour, Matthew naturally would not be stingy with this small amount of money.

He tore the IOU in front of Alexander.

"He doesn\'t owe me anything now."

However, Alexander said seriously,

"It\'s only right and proper to pay back a debt.

" Actually, we don\'t have much money to spend in the astral plane. Alliance gold coins are actually superfluous."

As he spoke.

He took out 500,000 gold coins and handed them to Matthew.

Matthew was still hesitating whether to accept it.

Who knew that Alexander would take out something and hand it to Matthew.
