Chapter 50: A gardener who cannot use necromancy is not a good tree spirit

"Huh? The spring water has risen so much?"

On the altar of the moon goddess.

Rhodes opened his eyes and looked at the Moon Spring water in the well in surprise.

In just a short while, the increase exceeded the previous half-day's amount and once again overflowed the groove at the bottom.

What surprised him even more.

The black fruit and leaves that were originally placed on it have disappeared, replaced by a strange-looking seed and a deep gray scroll.

He actually gave me two things at once!
You know, you could only change to one before.

only.

The leaf he sent over received no response, and he didn't know if it was lost along the way or for some other reason.

But one thing is certain, the object of spiritual contact is different each time, because the increase in the Moon Fountain is too different.

Especially this time.

It was almost twice as much as the previous times, and it didn't look like the faith that a single believer could provide.

So there is only one truth.

These spiritual connections come from other believers!
"I'm really good at solving cases."

Rhodes smiled proudly and couldn't help but admire his own intelligence.

Now that we are sure that the person on the other side is a believer, everything becomes much simpler.

According to his guess.

The Moon Goddess should have contacted her believers through the Moon Well.

Now that he is in charge of the Moon Well, he can easily pretend to be the Moon God and develop more believers!

As long as there are more believers, the Moon Spring's growth rate will accelerate, and many things that were not possible before can be done, such as... bathing in spring water.

I guess Lady Moon Goddess wouldn't mind his small request, right?
"It's such a happy decision!"

Rhodes made the unilateral decision and settled the matter.

"Master Rhodes, what have you decided?"

Augula and the little thing came over curiously: "Also, what are these two things?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you." Rhode glanced at them and said, "This is what Moon Goddess exchanged with me after fighting with someone."

"fight?"

Augla and the little thing looked at each other, and a row of question marks appeared on their heads.

But before they could ask more questions, Rhodes had already put away the seeds, and hurried to the open space with the magic scroll, muttering to himself.

"First-level magic...it must be first-level magic...May the Moon God bless you..."

After advancing, he always wanted a first-level magic that could be used for both attack and defense, otherwise relying solely on the entry-level vine whip would be too limited.

With trepidation, Rhodes slowly opened the scroll, and then a prompt message appeared in front of him.

[Obtain first-level magic scroll (Summoning the Undead) x1]

[Summon the Undead (Undead): Concentrate magic power, generate death energy at the specified location, summon undead of the same level as yourself to fight, the duration depends on the magic power consumption. 】

what?
Undead magic?

Are you sure this is for a little dryad?
Rhodes was confused and flipped the scroll left and right to confirm. It was indeed undead magic. Even the magic circle drawn on it looked a bit eerie.

But the problem is.

He is a natural creature who values ​​life!

Take a look.

This figure, these branches, these green leaves.

How does it look like an undead creature?

Out of caution, Rhode turned back to look at Augla who was absorbing the essence of the moon: "Augla, let me ask you a question. Can the tree spirits learn undead magic?"

"Necromancy?"

Augla tilted his head and said, "That's definitely not possible. For natural beings like us, what we are most repelled by is the power of death. Let alone casting spells, we will feel uncomfortable if we are even slightly contaminated."

"Well, it seems so."

Rod realized he had asked a stupid question.

It's like asking whether water can burn like fire. These are two mutually exclusive things.

Unless some external force is applied.

For example, wrap a layer of oil around the water.

"correct!"

Suddenly, Rhodes had an idea.

He doesn't have oil, but he can start with the magic circle!

He can't control the mutually exclusive power of death, but he can at least use the power of elements, right?

"Come, come, all the nature spirits come here."

With a wave of his hand, he summoned all the green spots of light that were wandering around on the altar.

Together with the two lower-level nature elves that were born when he advanced, they flew back to his side and circled around him.

Rhode didn't care whether they could understand him or not. He pointed at the scroll in his hand and said, "I will cast a spell later. You can arrange the magic array according to the above to see if it can produce any effect."

After that, he activated his magic power and began to try to construct the Undead Array.

If there were other magicians nearby at this time, they would definitely be shocked speechless by this action.

Because he actually wanted to meet the conditions for casting the spell by replacing the elements in the magic circle!

hum-

The magic light appears.

The elemental elves began to move, forming arcs in front of Rhodes.

It has to be said that the magic array of the first-level magic is indeed much more complicated than the entry-level one, and it is also undead magic that has a very poor compatibility with nature.

Even with Rhodes' spiritual guidance and magical guidance, the elemental elves still made frequent mistakes, and the magic circle collapsed halfway through its construction every time.

This went on for two hours.

Rhodes finally mastered the trick, increased his mental output, used magic power to construct the prototype of the magic circle, and replaced all the patterns of the magic circle that were supposed to be the power of death with natural elements.

The moment when the magic circle is completed.

A powerful breath of life suddenly burst out and spread rapidly around with his palm as the center.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Gah~"

Augla and the others were immediately attracted by the noise here.

But when they arrived, they found that there was a five-meter-long thin rattan whip standing in front of Rhodes, twisting back and forth in the open space, looking like it was having a seizure.

【Vine Guard lv10】

This was the information that appeared in Rhodes' eyes.

At this moment, he was looking at the vines with his mouth open, in surprise and joy.

Surprisingly, his revision magic was successful.

The good news is that after the magic was successful, it did not summon the undead, but instead summoned plants unique to the nature system, and gave them a certain amount of attack intelligence, just like the undead skeletons.

In other words.

His conjecture was confirmed.

Replacing the elements in the magic circle with natural elements is indeed feasible!
"Lord Rhodes, what is this?"

Augla came closer, full of doubts.

He knew about the magic of the whip, but he had never seen such a crazy whip. It seemed as if it wanted to whip to death anything that approached it.

"Why don't you go over and try it?"

Rhodes smiled and said that he just needed a volunteer to test the power of magic.

"Just give it a try. Why would I be afraid of this?"

Augla patted his chest and walked into the open space without hesitation, looking at the vine with a provocative look.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.

The twisting vine guards lashed hard on his huge body.

Augula let out an "Ouch" and was obviously startled.

However, as a fourth-level vine, he would naturally not be hurt by the first-level vines. In anger, he wanted to reach out and pull out the vine guard by the roots.

However, just when he stretched it halfway, the vine guard suddenly changed direction, quickly wrapped around his arm, and pulled hard, causing him, who was nearly twenty meters tall, to stagger.

"Huh? This little thing is pretty powerful."

Augla was surprised, and with a sudden force, he pulled up the vine by its roots.

The vine guards that lost their ground support turned directly into energy and dissipated into the air.

"really."

Rhodes' eyes lit up when he saw this scene.

This vine guard is really like an undead skeleton and has autonomous attack awareness.

He didn't expect that just by changing the elemental composition, he could summon such a thing. It was much more powerful than his entry-level disposable vine whip.

The main thing is.

The first-level whip is longer, thicker, and more durable.

It can be used as a summon to fight a war of attrition.

"Lord Rhodes, your magic is not very good. It will break if you just pull it."

Augula turned around and said with a smug look on his face.

He even did not forget to glance at the little things next to him. His intention to show off was obvious, which immediately made the little things unhappy, and they wanted to run over and hit him.

"Oh, really? Then try this."

Rhodes smiled and raised his hand to cast a magic circle to revive the undead. At the same time, his left hand moved slightly, cultivating magic secretly brewing.

"Just use whatever you have, I, Augla, am not afraid!"

Augla slapped his chest twice, showing no fear at all.

In his opinion, Rhodes was good at planting, while the battle still depended on their lineage of the War Giant Tree.

When it comes to being tough and resistant to blows, he has never been afraid of anyone below level five.
