A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Intelligence Mystery Lock

“Yes, we were together for a short time, but we separated again.”

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.

The scenes from that day surfaced in his mind.

Combined with the time that Eli appeared in the oak forest.

He had a general understanding of the cause and effect, but he suddenly admired Eli even more.

“What kind of person do you think Eli is?” he asked again.

Samantha thought for a moment and said, “He is a good man, but he is not suitable for me. He is kind, upright, and strong. That was good. However, he is too controlling. When I was with him, I often thought that I was just his vassal.

This feeling was unpleasant, so it was only a matter of time before I separated from him.”

Matthew nodded. “But it sounds like you two could still remain friends.”

Samantha said with uncertainty, “Maybe, but he’s very proud, and he’ll probably misunderstand the intention. Why are you asking so many questions?

Are you interested in Eli?”

She looked at Matthew with wide eyes.

Matthew quickly waved his hand and said, “No way.”

He was still wondering if he should tell Samantha that her ex-boyfriend was working for him.

Samantha casually said goodbye.

” That’s it then. I’ve already replenished the skeleton soldiers for you. If you need more corpses, go to the other layers of the tree pits. They’re all corpses that Eli and I have purified.”

As she spoke, she transformed into a leopard.

“As for the information about the Su country, I will sort it out for you as soon as possible. Thank you for your domain enlightenment. Then, goodbye, Matthew!”

As she spoke.

She ran away.

Looking in that direction, she was heading deep into the hive alone.

“Even now, she’s still unwilling to cooperate with me. What a stubborn woman.”

He looked at Samantha’s back as she left.

Matthew shook his head slightly.

At this moment.

Ella, who had been wilting for a few days, flapped her wings excitedly.

“Matthew, Matthew!

“Now that you have a strong army, are you finally ready to start a massacre?”

Matthew asked in surprise, “How can you tell that I have a strong army? The quality of these skeletons is obviously ordinary, and they are not as experienced as my previous ones.”

Ella begged, “Then let’s kill at least two Zergs today before leaving!”

Matthew nodded reluctantly. “Fine.”

However, before the threat of the Witherer was resolved, he really did not want to spend too much effort on other aspects.

Three minutes later.

They watched as a newborn skeleton clumsily destroyed a new nest by the side of the road and successfully killed two Violent Zerg Larva that had come out of

it.

Matthew immediately said to Ella with a pleasant expression,

“Can we call it a day now?”

Ella lowered her head and was speechless.

The next day, at the Craftsmen Protection Association building.

Matthew walked briskly through the hall.

Following the front desk lady’s guidance.

He stepped up the stairs and walked towards the third floor. However, when he passed by the second floor, Matthew suddenly stopped and walked towards the locksmith’s office.

Just like last time, the office door was still half-open.

Behind the desk was a middle-aged gentleman reading a book.

“Do you have another lock that needs to be unlocked?”

This time, Richard did not hide it. He had already cast his gaze on Matthew before he approached the door.

“No, I’m here to look for a blacksmith, so I came to see you since I was passing by.”

Matthew said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out some fruits from the bags in his hand and placed them on the table.

The person in front of him was a Rogue of the fifth tier or above. It was definitely not wrong to have a good relationship with him.

Richard sneered. “You don’t have to do that. I’ve seen too many things when I was young. Some fruits can’t buy me over. Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?”

Matthew smiled helplessly and walked out. “I’m really just passing by. I’ll leave now.”

“Wait!” Richard stopped Matthew.

He glanced at the fruits on the table and asked, “What are you looking for a blacksmith for?”

Matthew explained, “I need to entrust someone to forge two short knives.”

“Short knives?” Richard looked at Matthew suspiciously. “Did you summon an assassin?

The man was very sharp.

Matthew knew that he couldn’t hide it from Richard, so he simply admitted it.

“Congratulations! At least in the middle and lower levels, having a Rogue by your side will be very useful.”

Richard closed the book.

“But you’ve come to the wrong place. There are many excellent craftsmen in the association, but there are very few excellent blacksmiths. I don’t think I can recommend you to anyone.”

Matthew frowned slightly.

Fortunately, he knew that excellent blacksmiths were scarce, so he only came to try his luck today.

“Do I have to go to Jiliu City or Baiyan City?”

Before Matthew could ask the question, Richard picked up the pen and wrote a few words.

“However, I can introduce someone to you. Everyone calls him Old Fallon, and he’s the vice president of the Veterans Association. He once followed Rheagar into purgatory, and he’s very skilled in forging. He hasn’t been open to the public for many years, but I can try to help you get in touch with him.” Matthew took the recommendation letter and thanked him.

Richard waved his hand and said seriously,

“This is not free help, Matthew. Zeller must have told you about the challenge letter from the three major organizations. This is very unusual. I need you to think about it. Think about it seriously.

“Have you ever seen such behaviour in history or in a book?

“Don’t be in a hurry to answer me.

“Take a deep breath.

“Think. Seek your memories.

“You’re the only one among us who can think of it. I mean, if something like this really happened in history.”

Richard’s words sounded strange.

But Matthew tried to follow his words.

A few seconds later.

A stunned expression appeared on his face!

“I did remember something. What’s going on?”

Matthew was extremely surprised.

There was indeed a large chunk of related content in his mind.

But before that.

It was as if they did not exist in his memory. “That’s a curse that the supreme-rulers placed before they left, Matthew.”

Richard’s voice seemed to come from the clouds.

” A lot of profound, useful knowledge, important, and accessible history has been hidden by the curse called ‘Intelligence Lock.’ Even if it has lingered in the minds of many people, only those with 15 points of intelligence and above, especially Mages, have the chance to recall it.

“That’s why I told you that this world is ultimately the world of spellcasters.

“You were born to be spared from one of the three great curses left behind by the supreme-rulers. How can you not be favoured by the heavens?

“Now, tell me, what do you remember?”
