Chapter 53: I Can ‘t Accept It
Translator: Lonelytree
“I’ve also sent people to the east to look for an old acquaintance of mine, who is a Monk whose strength is close to Legendary. With him around, the safety of Rolling Stone Town would be more secure.
“In addition, I also used my connections to call for a few old friends to come and help me. Even Mr Richard couldn’t help but send a letter to Northland.
“Look, our connections are actually not weak. All we need is time.”
Matthew reacted quickly.
“So your ‘first phase’ plan is mainly to stall for time?”
Zeller said bluntly,
“I want you to pretend to be Great Mage Ronan!” Matthew was shocked.
Then, he nodded and said, “It’s not impossible.”
At this moment.
Peggy, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, finally poked her head out from under the windowsill.
“Won’t Ronan be unhappy if he finds out?”
Zeller and Matthew answered almost at the same time, “He won’t!
“He might even find it interesting.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
They chatted for more than an hour.
At night.
Matthew walked Zeller to the fence.
The two of them walked on the stone path in the garden.
Zeller, who was walking in front, suddenly smiled and turned around. “Mr Matthew, please forgive me for playing a little trick at the beginning of the conversation in order to gain your trust. The story about the awakening of the warlock is not my own, but I heard it from another warlock friend.
“I deliberately made myself sound miserable so that I could gain your sympathy and pave the way for convincing you. But now, it seems that this is unnecessary. You’re the kind of person I like.”
Matthew was stunned at first, and then he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s good. At least you didn’t experience such a painful thing.” A strange light flashed in Zeller’s eyes.
“You are a strange necromancer. Your kindness is heartwarming.
“I’m sorry again for lying to you before.
“However, speaking of pain, my awakening experience was actually much more tragic than my friend’s.”
As he spoke, he came to the fence and elegantly closed the door. “However, I won’t tell my story unless I’m on my deathbed.
“Good night, Matthew.”
After sending Zeller off.
Matthew was in the living room sorting out the information he had obtained tonight.
Then, he rushed back to the oak forest to take care of the place.
He had to talk to Eli about the Withering Order.
The Witherer was the archenemy of the Druids.
Eli definitely knew more about this organization than he did.
However, before that.
After a week of hard work.
He had already accumulated the capital for another ten strengthening buffs.
The crisis was approaching.
This was the time when he needed immediate combat strength.
Therefore, Matthew deposited all the buffs he had to strengthen Soldier.
[Hint: You have consumed ten strengthening buffs. Your summoned creature,
Soldiers, has levelled up to Level 12. Its overall attributes have increased!]
[Your summoned creature, “Soldier”, has obtained seven keywords. Two of them are “White”, 1 is “Blue”, 2 are “Purple”, and the remaining 2 are ‘Gray”!]
“My luck isn’t very good.”
Matthew sighed.
The two grey ones were really a headache.
He glanced over.
As usual, he looked at the weaker keywords first.
[Backstab (White): When your skeleton attacks the enemy from behind, the damage and stun duration will be greatly increased.]
[Sprint (White): Your skeleton’s movement speed in battle has been greatly increased.]
[Storm Combo (Blue): When your skeleton uses a short knife as a weapon and successfully hits the enemy’s vital points, it can make a second and third slash in a very short time as a combo. This process will cause a lot of damage.]
The quality was surprisingly good.
It wasn’t particularly powerful.
However, it was solid and useful.
” At least it’s not some strange abilities.”
Matthew then looked at the purple keyword.
[Colorful Dance (Purple): When your skeleton uses this dance, it can leave an afterimage wherever it goes. During the duration of the dance, regardless of its current position and state, it can instantly return to the position of the afterimage.
[Currently, the maximum number of afterimages that can be left is: 4]
[Fake Death (Purple): Your skeleton has learned the exquisite skill of faking death, which is enough to deceive most creatures.]
[When your skeleton leaves the state of Fake Death, its next three normal attacks will deal a lot of extra damage.]
“It is finally back to normal!”
Matthew was greatly comforted.
One of the two purple keywords provided high mobility, while the other provided sinister killing moves.
He didn’t understand how a skeleton could fake his death.
But Soldier naturally had a way.
At this point.
[Uncoordinated-Grey]: In non-combat mode, Soldier has developed bad coordination in his extremities.
“This is also okay.”
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.
However, in the next second.
His expression changed slightly.
[Work Awareness (Gray): Your skeleton has developed the awareness that it is creating value for you. This awareness is not strong and is even a little humble.]
[Every three months, you need to pay 1 Soul Crystal to appease Soldier, which will give him a great incentive.]
“This… It’s a little unacceptable!”
Matthew subconsciously gave himself a facepalm.
Soldier looked at him blankly.
After a while.
He actually imitated Matthew and used his bone palm to hold his face.
The scene was both funny and strange.
Eli flashed out from behind the house and stared at Matthew seriously.
“What position is this? Are you trying to summon some evil creatures in front of me again?
