A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1680 - : 457 Golden Ship and Divine Weapon_5
Chapter 1680: 457 Golden Ship and Divine Weapon_5
…
“Holy Word Technique: When holding a shovel, recite a custom ‘Holy Word’ (with a minimum syllable limit) to make the shovel’s normal attack deal an additional 100% Divine Spell damage.”
“The current custom Holy Word is—”
“Let me give it a whack!”
“Hair Removal Technique: Activate this Divine Spell to remove all hair and Natural Armor from a single enemy!”
…
...
Both of these Divine Spells were quite useful.
The former provided additional types of damage;
the latter was the bane of demons with high Natural Armor.
Most importantly,
they were Divine Spells.
Just like spellcasters didn’t know that Divine Fire could ignite the tentacles of Yurkus,
due to the gods having vanished from the material world for too long,
many people had no defense against Divine Spells!
Therefore, they were perfect for stealing the upper hand at critical moments.
After finishing today’s portion of bedrock excavation,
Matthew restored his spirit in Lost Paradise, and after greeting Dark Peggy, who had transformed into a little black cat and was sound asleep under an oak tree,
his consciousness returned to the cemetery.
Stepping out of the small black room once again,
the sky outside was filled with stars.
A whooshing wind blew over the top of the cemetery.
Due to the Great Rift, the past winter had not been particularly cold, but the climate had become more bizarre and unpredictable.
Matthew stood on the mountain top and looked down upon the land.
The Fear of Death Graveyard floated slowly in the sky above Rolling Stone City, following a set orbit from south to north, from east to west, patrolling the entire city day and night.
Above the land in the East,
the oak forest and pine forest symbols of the Sanctuary of Life, not only survived the Great Rift intact,
but also expanded quite a bit under the care of the Druids and centaurs.
Unfortunately, the most eastern part of the forest had now reached the region of the ‘Star Realm Black Water.’
This meant the expansion of the Sanctuary of Life was about to be blocked.
The so-called ‘Star Realm Black Water’
was the Star Realm Sea Water that gushed from the rift crack, which Matthew countered with the Guardian Authority.
Although most of the sea water was dissolved by the Guardian Authority,
a large amount of black water still appeared on the border of Rolling Stone City.
There were about 5 to 6 main channels of this black water,
and the complex network they formed surrounded Rolling Stone City entirely.
The black water had a terrifying toxicity.
Ordinary people couldn’t get near it, let alone cross it.
Building bridges over the black water was also extremely difficult unless one had the construction capabilities of a Southern Mage army.
In the short term, building bridges without damage was nearly impossible.
Thankfully, World Tree Bogard sensed the changes in the world.
It spontaneously grew a long tree bridge on the eastern side of the forest.
The tree bridge spanned across the black water,
becoming the only route out of Rolling Stone City currently.
The matter Matthew had intended to discuss with Little Patton was related to this tree bridge.
At first,
Matthew planned to open the bridge for free to all residents, including the merchants and guilds in the city.
But Little Patton had objected,
believing it would not only add extra burden to the bridge but also create greater security risks.
Moreover,
after Rheager left, the huge financial deficit in Rolling Stone City needed various subsidies to be filled.
In Little Patton’s private words,
there were a huge mess in front of him, and he would rather continue studying electric lights and demon hearts than be an unlucky king.
Of course,
that being said,
Little Patton also came up with many ways to generate revenue for the city hall, the most important of which was charging a fee for the tree bridge.
He was recently trying hard to convince Matthew to do so.
Little Patton was actually quite eloquent,
and Matthew was almost persuaded.
Of course,
what was more important was that he knew the pressure Little Patton was under was indeed great.
“If it’s not working out, we could try charging temporarily…”
Caught in thought,
Matthew arrived at the new city hall within the city.
Even though it was late at night, some lights were still on deep inside the hall.
Matthew went straight to the deepest part,
where Little Patton’s office was located.
No,
it should now be called King Patton’s office.
Matthew knocked on the door.
An exhausted voice from inside replied:
“Come in…”
Matthew entered,
and immediately saw the new King of the Rolling Stone Kingdom surrounded by a mountain of files.
He pushed away the coffee cup in front of him and stood up from the chair.
Matthew glanced at the empty cup and raised an eyebrow:
“Do you need me to call for Madam Wesley?”
Patton shook his head:
“It’s too late; I had her rest already.”
“I know how to make coffee myself. In fact, I’m quite good at it…”
“I’m multi-talented, smart, and good at many things, as you know.”
“But now I have to do the one thing I’m worst at—being a king!”
“Damn Rheager,” Patton muttered,
“how great it would be if he could just come back to life now!”
“You have no idea how much smooth-talking it took me these past six months just to get rid of the noble ladies and misses who seemed to have had an affair with him…”
He couldn’t help venting to Matthew.
Matthew smiled and was about to continue the topic of the tree bridge,
but just then,

Patton suddenly looked hesitant and then placed a letter in front of Matthew.
“I don’t know if I should give it to you,” Patton said,
“but I think you would be very concerned about this…”
Matthew narrowed his eyes at the letter.
The handwriting was familiar to him.
It was…
a letter from Sif!
