A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 24



Extraordinary Charm

..

Lulu was an overly shy fairy.

...

The other fairies living in this oak forest had more or less greeted Matthew.

Only this princess was always secretive. Even when she appeared in front of Matthew, she would hide among the fairies so that he could not see her clearly.

It would be a lie to say that he was not curious about Lulu.

However, Matthew had always respected these little creatures who got along well with him.

After summoning the Fairy Princess.

Matthew closed his eyes.

A cool breeze brushed past his face.

There was a moment.

Matthew vaguely felt that a fairy had stopped on his nose and was boldly walking up and down.

This feeling quickly disappeared. Matthew thought that it was his imagination. He did not think that it was the Fairy Princess teasing him. After all, she was too shy.

“I… am here…”

A thin and weak voice drifted over from afar.

Matthew could sense that she had stopped on a tree five steps away from him.

“Good evening. I need your help. I have an entrance ticket to the Moonlight Society. Only with the help of a Nature Soul can I enter the corresponding interdimensional space.”

Matthew waved the ticket in his hand.

“This is not a difficult matter.” Lulu’s voice drifted closer. “Why are you closing your eyes, Matthew?”

Matthew smiled lightly and said, “If you allow me to open them, I will.”

“I… I trust you, Matthew!”

Lulu’s voice was hesitant at first. But soon, she mustered up her courage and said, “You can open your eyes now.”

Matthew opened his eyes naturally.

At first, it was a faint glow under the moonlight.

Then, he saw a pair of golden wings.

Finally, there was that a fairy that was slightly larger than ordinary fairies and that inconceivably exquisite face.

At that moment.

Matthew felt his head buzzing.

His eyes widened subconsciously.

Whoosh!

Lulu flew back twenty feet nervously.

Then, she hesitantly inched closer to Matthew.

“Hu…”

Matthew let out a long breath and woke up from his loss of composure.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful.” He laughed at himself and said, “Did my eyes pop out just now?”

Lulu patted her fair chest with her small hand. “You did well, but that gaze just now did scare me.”

Matthew nodded.

He finally understood why Lulu didn’t easily appear in front of others.

Perhaps it was not because she was shy.

It was because of her unmatched beauty!

“What is your charm?” Matthew asked.

“20 points? Or perhaps more? I don’t know either!”

Lulu counted with her fingers.

20 points meant Extraordinary Charm.

This was the limit of charm that ordinary creatures could reach!

That was not counting the charm bonus unique to fairies.

Almost all creatures would be tempted to get close to Lulu, grab her, or even toy with her!

Even Matthew could not help but have evil thoughts when he stared at those small wings for a long time.

..

[You resisted the enchantment of the Fairy Princess (Passive), Willpower +1]

..

“Then can we start?”

Matthew tried hard to look away and asked.

“Of course.”

Lulu circled Matthew excitedly. “This is the first time I’ve come into such close contact with a creature other than my clansmen. This feeling is so exciting!

“Right, you were talking about the Moonlight Society? No problem. Come with me, Matthew.”

As she spoke, her shadow danced in the moonlight.

Matthew strolled along.

After a while.

The admission ticket in his hand suddenly disappeared.

The singing of Nature’s Soul awakened the young oak forest.

Matthew felt as if there were friendly gazes on him.

Lulu stopped on the trunk of a tall oak tree.

Matthew walked closer to take a look.

There was a pale green secret door on the tree wall.

He pushed the door open and entered.

The majestic greenery greeted them.

..

[Hint: You have entered the kingdom of the Goddess of Moon, Assia, the half-domain ‘Moonlight Woodland’.]

[This was the home of the spirits of nature. They hated evil and rejected outsiders. They were willing to maintain a friendly relationship with the Druids.]

[This is also the shelter of the Moonlight’s Blessed. Every traveler who walks under the moonlight can pray to Assia. If they receive a response, they can temporarily stay here to avoid the monsters hidden in the long night.]

..

The air was good.

This was Matthew’s first impression of Moonlight Woodland.

He looked around.

He found himself in an open space that was similar to the oak forest in the real world.

Not far away, there was an altar of the Goddess of the Moon.

A proud owl rested on the stone tablet of the altar.

The other party’s gaze was not very friendly.

Matthew felt a little strange.

According to the instructions on the admission ticket.

Even if he was a Necromancer, there should be many Nature Souls and spiritual creatures nearby!

He should be able to gain the recognition of the locals through various performances. Only then could he become a member of the Moonlight Society and obtain some additional blessings.

“Did something change?”

Matthew tried to ask about it.

However, before he could get close to the altar.

A rude voice was heard, ” Evil Necromancer, if I were you, I would turn around and leave without hesitation. People should at least have a sense of shame. I don’t know how you got the ticket or how you coerced a kind Nature Soul to hold a ritual for you, but if you think that you can become a Moonlight’s Blessed just like that, then you are gravely mistaken!”

It was that owl.

Its voice was like a little girl’s voice.

Matthew explained, “I am indeed a necromancer, but I am not a bad person.”

The owl flapped its wings, and its voice became sharper. “Bad people never say they are bad people! Get out of here, Necromancer! I hate you!”

Matthew frowned.

He had expected that the old-fashioned and conservative nature soul would have a bad attitude toward him because of his profession.

However, he didn’t expect that the owl wouldn’t even give him a chance to explain.

“Miss Owl.” He held his breath and patiently tried to persuade the other party. “I think I’ve done things fairly and honestly. Wouldn’t it be unfair if I were to be rejected just because of my profession?”

The owl flew up with a plop.

“Don’t call me Miss Owl! I have a name! My name is Ella!

“Ella wouldn’t trust a Necromancer! Please leave immediately!”

As she spoke, she flew to Matthew’s head, pretending to pounce on him.

“Alright then.”

Matthew shrugged helplessly.

Fortunately, he was already mentally prepared. The natives of the Moonlight Woodland were different from the newly ascended Nature Souls like Lulu. Although they still looked like small animals, they might have lived there for hundreds or thousands of years. The passage of time had made their thinking more stubborn. It would be euphemistic to describe them as ‘inflexible.’

Not being able to join the Moonlight Society was not a big deal. It was just a spell sect.

Matthew was about to leave.

However, at this moment, a thin white light suddenly lit up on the altar.

“Hey, what are you looking at?” The owl Ella bared her fangs and shouted, “This is the grace of the Goddess of Moon, not something a necromancer like you can covet!”

Matthew shrugged.

He didn’t like the owl, but he couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.

Hence, he turned around and left.

“I dare you to take another look. If you anger the Goddess of Moon, I’m afraid she will punish you with lightning punishment!” said Ella haughtily.

Matthew ignored her and stepped into the secret door. However, at that moment, he heard thunder behind him.

Rumble!

Matthew was shocked. The Goddess of Moonlight couldn’t be really that angry, right?

He subconsciously turned around and saw a bolt of lightning fly out from the altar and strike the owl, Ella!

In the next second.

He appeared safe and sound in the oak forest.

Lulu was nowhere to be seen.

..

“Did the Goddess of Moonlight’s lightning strike the wrong target?

“Forget it, just treat it as a small interlude…”

Matthew adjusted his mood.

He returned to the cottage and began his homework for the night.

Outside the wooden house, Soldier was wearing a cloak of darkness, silently carrying out his patrol mission.

The forest was quiet and peaceful.

The night was silent.

At daybreak.

Matthew yawned and pushed open the wooden door.

However, he was shocked to find a strange bird with black wings and cramped limbs resting on the oak tree 30 meters away from the door of the wooden house!

” Good morning, Mr. Matthew.”

The strange bird greeted him uneasily.

Matthew looked at her in hesitation.

If it weren’t for the fact that the voice hadn’t changed, he wouldn’t have been able to associate the strange, charred bird with the arrogant owl from last night!

“Ella?”

He sized up the other party with interest.

” I’m sorry, Mr. Matthew. I only wanted to joke with you last night, but I didn’t expect it to go too far. To show my sincerity, I will personally invite you to the Moonlight Forest tonight. If nothing goes wrong, you will successfully join the Moonlight Society and become a member of our harmonious and loving family.”

Matthew chuckled. He ignored Ella and went in to look for the sapling bag and tools.

Then, he walked towards the pit he had chosen two days ago.

“Mr. Matthew, Mr. Matthew…”

Ella hurriedly followed him up.

“I’m busy, Miss Owl,” Matthew waved the shovel and said, “I didn’t think you were joking yesterday, and I didn’t feel the sincerity of your apology today, so I don’t think I should join the Moonlight Society!”

He started digging.

The flying mud scared Ella so much that she screamed and flew away.

But not long after, she flew back eagerly.

..

” I apologize to you, Mr. Matthew. I know I was wrong. It was my ignorance that blocked my vision. I thought that necromancers were all bad people, but that’s clearly not the case.”

“Uh, are you planting trees? Wow, what a great feat! You are the kindest necromancer I have ever seen!”

“Mr. Matthew, it was all my fault last night. I thought you were a Necromancer who had mastered the Nature Domain, and I felt disgusted. However, I thought it through later. I believe you are actually a Druid who has mastered the domain of necromancy. Isn’t that much more pleasing? I can feel the natural affinity from you. How refreshing!”

“Wow, Mr. Matthew, are you even so handsome when you wipe your sweat?”

..

Ella tried to please Matthew.

Matthew did not speak.

He was just minding his own business.

He worked from morning to dusk.

In the evening.

Matthew returned to the wooden house.

A strange fluctuation surged in his heart.
