Domain: Oak Tree

..

This was really explosive news.

Matthew quickly put down the spoon, his eyes shining.

“No wonder I’ve never heard of the lord’s wife. Are there any more details?”

Peggy shrugged.

“That’s all I heard. At that time, the adulterous couple couldn’t wait to get into it after they finished talking. I thought they would continue talking after that, so I hid under their bedroom window until dawn. But I still got nothing!”

Matthew scooped another spoonful of soup for himself. “What a pity.”

Immediately after, he reminded her solemnly, “Next time, don’t stay outside until dawn. It’s very dangerous. Your stealth skills aren’t good enough to come and go in daylight.”

Peggy nodded and said, “You’re right. I was almost seen by someone that day.”

Matthew quickly asked, “What happened after that?”

Peggy said happily, “Fortunately, the male owner of the house came back at dawn. The house immediately became noisy, and everyone was distracted. I took the opportunity to run out.”

Male owner?

Matthew was shocked. “So you were eavesdropping on a couple having an affair?!”

Peggy crossed her arms.

“Otherwise, why would I call them an adulterous couple?”

Matthew coughed. “Which family is it?”

Peggy looked at him suspiciously. “What, you want to have an affair with the lady too?”

Puff!

Matthew almost spat the soup on her face.

“No, I was just curious.”

He denied it.

Peggy crossed her legs.

..

“It’s 27 White Narcissus Street in the Craftsmen’s District. The owner of the house is called Brice. He’s a hardworking shoemaker with a good reputation.

“The female owner is called Jenny. She was once a maid of the lord’s manor and served the former lord’s wife. Jenny isn’t pretty, but she has a smoking bod. Even I have the urge to touch her bones by looking at her.

“As for the adulterer that night, based on his voice, I could tell that he was a coachman of the Suki Family Lord. His name should be Dagan.”

..

“That night? Do you mean this has happened on other nights?”

Matthew wiped his mouth with a napkin and inadvertently displayed the sensitivity of a Druid.

“Of course, Jenny is famous in the craftsman’s area for not rejecting anyone. Her lovers can’t be counted on two hands.”

Peggy’s legs were raised higher and higher.

“But if you want to know, I can also list the names of Jenny’s lovers.”

“Thank you, but there’s no need.”

Matthew rejected her. “Peggy, it seems that even if you change your profession to intelligence management, you will also be very good at it.”

Peggy was instantly overjoyed. “Matthew, have you finally discovered my excellence?

“Then when will you give me a raise?”

“I’ve already used up the Soul Crystals from last month!” Matthew stood up skillfully and inadvertently displayed the indifference of a necromancer. “Next time!”

“Damn necromancers!”

In the dining room.

The Tauren skeleton’s roar did not calm down for a long time.

..

The next morning.

Matthew deliberately went to the security office again.

He sorted out his guesses from last night on a piece of paper and handed it to Blake along with the secret letter.

The latter’s expression became much more solemn after reading it.

When they left the security office, Matthew noticed that a few members of the garrison team were yawning as if they had just returned from a patrol. In the past, the security office had almost no night shifts.

“It seems that the Lord has strengthened the security around the town. I wonder if the roads, trading stations, and sentry posts at the border have received the same level of attention.”

Matthew did not think too much about it.

He had only done what he could.

He would leave the rest to the Suki Family Lord.

..

At noon.

The breeze was warm.

Matthew stood on the hillside on the southwest side of the oak forest to choose the site for his next work.

Master Ronan’s land had been completely covered by the oak forest.

If Matthew wanted to expand the planting area, he would have to step into other people’s land.

He looked into the distance.

The map of the surroundings of the oak forest appeared in his mind.

..

To the southwest was Rolling Stone Town, which did not have much room for expansion.

..

In the southeast, there were some farms of various sizes. Most of the crops in Rolling Stone Town grew here. Most of the land here had been bought by the farmers, so there was not much space for oak trees to grow.

..

To the northeast was a barren land without an owner, but there was the ” Scar of the Dead ” obstructing it. Further away were the barren mountains and the Ghost Castle, which looked ominous no matter how one looked at it.

Only the land in the northwest was the most suitable.

However, that was the private land of the Suki Family Lord. If Matthew wanted to plant trees on it, he would at least have to seek the approval of the City Hall.

“The Lord wouldn’t reject me just because of his prejudice, would he?”

Matthew was a little troubled.

A long time ago, Master Ronan had reminded him that the Suki Family Lord was a good person, but he hated necromancers.

Yesterday, he got the reason from Peggy.

He could understand the hatred of the Lord.

However, he did not want to hang the fact that he had saved Sif’s life over the lord in exchange for the right to plant trees on his land.

In short, it was a pain in the ass.

“If worse comes to worst, I’ll challenge the Scar of the Dead! I’ll plant a large oak forest along the edge and wrap the Scar of the Dead in it!”

Matthew encouraged himself.

He was tired of choosing the location.

He leaned against an oak tree to rest.

The afternoon sun shone brightly.

It made one feel sleepy.

Matthew yawned and was about to take a nap.

Suddenly.

A violent tremor around him woke him up from his dazed state!

“What is happening…?”

Matthew looked around blankly.

He saw that the Oak trees beside him were growing at an unbelievable speed!

They had grown from three to four meters to three to four hundred meters before his eyes!

The endless shade of the trees covered everything.

Matthew stood up from the ground.

He looked up at the oak forest.

The oak forest was also sizing him up.

Matthew could hear their whispers.

..

“Ah, how amazing! A necromancer!”

“I hate necromancers, but I don’t hate him.”

“Maybe there are some strange necromancers, or maybe this is an anomaly. We should give him a chance to take the test.”

..

Matthew walked quietly in the dark forest.

A deer that was emitting pure white light ran past him.

Two woodpeckers were playing with each other overhead.

A frog wearing a gentleman’s hat greeted him by the pond he passed by.

In the end.

He came to a waterfall in the depths of the forest.

The waterfall went down ten thousand feet.

A large number of green light spots flowed up the waterfall.

“This light spot…”

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.

In the next moment.

An eagle-faced man appeared beside him. The latter said in a low voice, “You are not qualified to explore this place yet.”

After saying this.

The scene around Matthew seemed to be rewinding!

Whoosh!

The green phenomenon disappeared without a trace.

Matthew sat under the oak tree in a daze.

At the bottom of the mission panel.

The green light on the right side of the Taiji symbol had been completely consumed!

..

[Hint: You have successfully stepped into the sub-domain of nature, ‘Oak Tree’, and have completed a short stay in it!]

..

As a reward for stepping into the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities:

..

1. Summon Treant (In a forest that is over 500 years old, you can recruit several Treant companions)

..

2. Woodpecker Contract (You will obtain Shapeshifting Form: Woodpecker, and gain three times the flying speed)

..

3. Natural Immunity (Your Toughness +2)

..

Matthew’s eyes lit up.

What was there to hesitate about?

He directly chose 3!

At that moment.

Matthew vaguely saw a green light enter his body.

He could feel that his physique had become stronger.

“1 point of Toughness can provide a 20% increase in effect. My immunity in related areas is now 44% stronger than before.”

Matthew was in a good mood.

Although it could not be compared to Sword Masters and Monks, who had more than 10 points of Toughness, Matthew was rather stronger already.

At least he had taken the first step of stopping a sudden death.

..

[Detected that you have fulfilled two of the three Legendary elements (Reputation/Domain). You have unlocked the Legendary Path ahead of time!]

Legendary Path (Germinal)

..

Keywords: Undying and Natural

..

[Domain Status: 1/6]

..

[Revelation 1: Weak body, low mana, poor mind, ignorant soul. The path of legend has actually been opened in you. This may be the mercy of the heavens or, more likely, an error in the laws. You should not have extravagant hopes.]

[Returning to the mediocre path is your only way to save yourself.]

..

[Revelation 2: Life and death, destruction and rebirth don’t always seem to conflict.]

[You’ve found an unprecedented path. It doesn’t matter if it’s muddy or thorny. You should keep at it.]

..

[Please choose a revelation as the motto of your Legendary Path! (Different revelations mean different legendary paths and different follow-up rewards)]

..

Matthew immediately took down ” Revelation 2 “.

Next.

As long as he could continue to explore this path, he would carve out his own legend.

After he mastered some legendary abilities, his power would also be stronger than an ordinary necromancer!

At this point.

Matthew finally understood the meaning of the Tai Chi symbol.

It was the embodiment of Matthew’s Legendary Path!

The general direction had been decided.

His path was marked by the two keywords, ‘undying’ and ‘natural’.

“If the green lights will open the Oak Domain when full, what about the gray lights?”

Matthew was looking forward to it.

However, at this time, another piece of news flashed before his eyes.
