Chapter 424: Descendant of the World Tree

Matthew felt helpless.
No matter what kind of undead, they were not suitable for delicate construction work.
Once again, he imagined how wonderful it would be if he had a duergar construction team.
Apart from the construction team.
For the first time, Matthew began to think about something.
Did he need to find an assistant?
A successful mage would never lack assistants and apprentices.
The latter could do some repetitive and mechanical work for mages.
This way, he could greatly free himself and invest his time in more meaningful things.
Necromancer Henry was actually a good candidate.
However, he had rebelled from Red Mountain, and Matthew was not sure about his loyalty. For safety reasons, he had been arranged by the three leaders of Rolling Stone Town to stay at the South Trade Station. On the surface, he had been asked to monitor the situation at Red Mountain, but in fact, others had been sent to monitor Henry.
Henry was probably aware of this.
He had been very active recently.
However, Matthew still needed more time to test him.
Perhaps it’s not impossible to recruit two apprentices from the Alliance.
Although I can’t give them too many gold coins, I can still give them
Knowledge Points.”
What kind of acolyte could satisfy all his needs?
Matthew fell into deep thought.
At night.
Matthew’s figure appeared in the oak forest.
The moonlight was very bright tonight.
From afar.
He saw the Centaur Obast patrolling the south. Obast was very serious. He had to personally inspect every oak tree to ensure that it was not harmed by the This guy was also very arrogant.
Matthew rarely saw him, and considering that he spent most of his time patrolling the oak forest, Matthew suspected that Obast was hiding from him.
Matthew was also very clear that Obast stayed behind for Lulu, but the other party’s action had gone a little overboard.
Forget it. It’s okay to be a little arrogant. Eli was also very arrogant in the beginning.”
After exchanging a glance with Matthew, the Centaur’s figure quickly disappeared into the forest.
Matthew didn’t argue with him. Instead, he went to the oak guards.
The oak guard had two modes: one was the oak tree, and the other was the guard.
The former was the regular oak tree form. During this period, the oak guard would accumulate a large amount of power.
The latter was close to the form of a treant. Maintaining the form of a treant required a lot of energy, and the stronger the oak guard, the more so.
Therefore, they usually only appeared in the forest in the form of an oak.
After killing the Order of Withering, Matthew had 440 Strengthening EXP, enough to strengthen an Oak Tree or an Oak Guard 22 times.
He planned to follow his previous decision and choose an oak guard to invest in.
Matthew directly ruled out the cannibal tree.
Matthew already had many powerful undead under him. For the oak guard, his requirements were defence and stability above all else.
If he wanted to strengthen the cannibal tree, the uncertainty was too high, and it did not meet Matthew’s current needs.
He called Renesme over and asked her to choose one of the remaining three oak guards.
Renesme didn’t seem to understand what Matthew was saying.
Matthew had no choice but to let her walk around.
Renesme giggled and drooled. She looked at Matthew as she walked. As she walked, she bumped into a tree.
She patted the tree in frustration.
Matthew also looked helpless.
This was because it was just a very ordinary oak tree, not an oak guard. Why would he use his precious experience to strengthen an ordinary oak tree?
“Choose another one, Renesme.”
Matthew ordered.
Renesme walked around the oak tree before reluctantly leaving.
A moment later, she came to an oak guard and frantically used its bark to grind her teeth.
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.
Just as he was about to raise his hand and strengthen it ten times…
At this moment.
A reproachful voice rang out.
How could you allow the undead to blaspheme the sacred oak guard?” The elusive Centaur suddenly appeared beside Renesme.
He pushed Renesme away forcefully, his actions very reckless.
Renesme instinctively bared her fangs at him. The centaur immediately raised his spear and warned, “Stay away from my oak tree!”
Upon hearing this.
Matthew, who had been about to explain, instantly turned gloomy.
He stared at the centaur with a sharp gaze.
Obast frowned.
“You know that’s not what I meant.”
Matthew asked, “Then what do you mean?
“I’m making things in my own forest. Do I have to be ordered around by you?”
Obast said coldly,
“I don’t think I did anything wrong.”
” I spend every day with these oak trees. I know them better than you do. If I were you, I wouldn’t tell real professionals what to do.”
His tone was filled with arrogance.
Matthew’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
This centaur did not give him a good first impression, but considering that he was indeed a professional, he let him stay.
He didn’t expect that in just a few days, there would be a situation where the host was overtaken by the guest. “Mr. Obast, you can leave my forest now.”
Matthew said politely.
Before Obast could react, he was still rambling on,
If it wasn’t for Princess Lulu, I wouldn’t have left the Sea of Forest and stayed here.. This forest has great potential, and they need me very much…Wait, what are you talking about?”
