Chapter Forty-Eight: The City Has Changed
Beast trainers are a life profession that can domesticate monsters, drive them, and fight them. Because taming monsters is a technical job, and you can't do it without some strength and craftsmanship, so it can barely be regarded as half a combat class, such as Waltpole Cullen, who flicked his whip like a flower in one hand.
Compared with animal trainers, breeders are similar, but this is a complete life profession, and their specialty is to cultivate all kinds of plants, in fact, they have no combat ability at all. This profession is only associated with apothecaries, and generally only one or two breeders are needed for a large guild

In fact, the things that made Qingyi think crookedly did not happen, which made him feel a little regretful inexplicably. Clavisoll walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with her skirt in her hand, and with a wave of her hand, a dozen pea-sized things sank into the dirt by the wall.
"This is? ......" Qingyi asked out loud when he saw this.
"It's the seed of a demonic plant." Clavisol looked back and smiled, "I hope that the place where I live in the future will be beautiful." ”
"Oh, that's okay, you go ahead."
Before you moved in, you started to do hygiene, could it be that you are actually a woman like a housekeeper? Qingyi agreed, and then reacted, shocked: What? Could it be that the house you fancy is the City Lord's Mansion?! So where do I live? Do I want to live with you?!
Before he could raise his voice, Clavisol smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have the smell of the Tree of Life?" ~This tree of life cannot be planted without the secret method of our elves! ”
"And that sort of thing!" Qingyi was taken aback, and was almost overshadowed by the system again. He suddenly had a stir: "Can you grow it?" ”
Clavisoll sighed and said gently, "It could have been, but ...... As you know, the elves worship life and nature, and the Tree of Life was born with this idea in mind, which is incompatible with the Necromantic Realm, where there is only death. No rules or laws can make the Tree of Life grow in the realm of necromancy, which is tantamount to forcing an elf to like a necromantic creature. ”
"What if I let you plant it? Whatever the outcome, I just need a tree of life? Qingyi stubbornly asked.
"What's your reasoning? I would like to ask, what is your reason for daring to defy the laws of nature? ”
Qingyi clenched the scepter: "To become strong, you must be stronger than any enemy." I'm running out of time, so I can't afford to miss a chance. ”
"Then, as you wish, dear Your Majesty."
Clavisore's eyes flickered, and she curtsied, bowing her head.
————————————————————————————————————
and Robert and other veteran-level subordinates (it is said that it is a good statement, but in fact, those who stay around now are considered veterans...... After some discussion, Qingyi decided to plant the Tree of Life in the largest central square in the city. The central square was not paved with stone slabs, and even the bones had not been cleaned, but the area was marked with ghost wolf phosphor powder. If the city can be built, it will become a well-deserved city center, which can gather a lot of popularity and wealth. Therefore, it is not bad to plant the tree of life here.
After choosing a position, Qingyi nodded to Clavisoer.
Clavisol crouched on the ground, letting the dirt stain her skirt, her expression as if she had changed back to an elven saint close to nature instead of a beautiful woman swaggering around with her skirt, her eyes only on the planting work that was about to take place, and her mind was not distracted. She blew lightly on the Tree of Life seed in her hand, and the outer skin at the top of the seed peeled off a little, revealing an emerald green shoot. Presumably, this is the secret method of cultivation of the elves, and if you let the necromantic creatures blow this breath, they may be able to smoke the seeds to death. In Qingyi's opinion, this corner of emerald green is too dazzling, after all, the color of daily contact is always black, white, gray and blue, and it is not suitable for this color that represents vitality for a while.
Quickly burying the sprouting seeds in the soil, Clavisoll took a few steps back and ordered the skeletons to lay the soil on it. Everyone obeyed the command and quickly got out of the way, staring nervously at the imminent emergence of the Tree of Life sapling.
A misty breath of life rose from the place where the seed was buried. Many small grasses grew from the white bones, green and lovely, and soon expanded to a radius of ten meters, forming a green field. It seemed that this ten meter radius was the diameter of the Tree of Life, and Qingyi hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to step back a little more, so as not to disturb the growth of the Tree of Life. However, the dead clouds in the sky began to rumble and tumble against the usual dull and dead state, as if something was brewing.
Poof, in the midst of many expectant eyes, a sapling grows at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, at this time, black rain began to fall in the clouds, and the grass withered in pieces, and even the saplings were corroded and their leaves were scorched.
"What's going on?!" Qingyi was also drenched in the rain, but he didn't do anything at all, and the physical strength that was blown up in Strunm's experiment accident slowly increased, just like drinking a bottle of soul potion.
"All along, the clouds of death have occupied the absolute power of the sea of bones; But when it is radicalized by the breath of life, the balance of power here is broken. Now, the cloud of death is about to completely destroy the Tree of Life, and this black rain will continue to fall until the breath of life is completely consumed. Clavisoll also had a solemn face and explained in a professional tone. She didn't seem to be able to stand in the rain, so she could only hide under the eaves of the nearest building: "This is expected, Your Majesty should be mentally prepared." ”
Robert knocked on the back of Qingyi's head with a cane: "Don't shout nonsense, a qualified king should learn to be calm and steady, and don't let your subordinates see your unreliable side." ”
Qingyi was in no mood to refute his mouth, and only looked at the full condition of the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life had done everything to resist the black raindrops, and it suddenly grew to the thickness of the mouth of a bowl, then to the thickness of a finger, and then to the thickness of a water tank...... But the rain grew heavier and heavier, like a flood pouring down from the clouds, and the tree of life was shattered. Watching the saplings grow and be corroded many times, Qingyi has lost hope.
Suddenly, soul fires that were used as street lamps flew from all corners of the city and threw themselves into the tree of life! Not only that, but even the few skeleton soldiers present dissipated with a bang, and the soul fire seeped into the trunk of the tree!
"Soul ...... Soul and life! Yes, maybe with the intervention of the soul, the tree of life can grow normally! Under the eaves, Clavisoll jumped to her feet with excitement and cried out as she pointed to the sapling. Her outstretched jade arm was hit by the black rain, and several black marks appeared, so frightened that she quickly hugged her shoulders and stepped back a little.
As soon as he heard this, Qingyi immediately asked Strunum to bring the remaining soul gems over, and at the same time commanded the skeleton soldiers to fall under the tree one after another. As soon as the soul gem touched the trunk of the tree, it turned into a blue light, and it was absorbed at all; The skeleton soldier fell to the ground in front of the tree, and dissipated in an instant.
"Hey, find a way, you're going to die, it's still not enough!" Clavisol was so excited that she couldn't speak incoherently, and her eyes were red and she shouted at Qingyi. "Find a way!"
Qingyi was also ruthless, and chanted loudly: "Open your eyes, the world has changed drastically." Everything became yesterday, but the wish did not come true. I still want to see my parents, and I want to walk on the beach; I still want to see that person again, and there is still a question left in my heart. Come back, I don't believe things have changed! ”
The clouds of dead air rolled even harder, and purple-red thunderbolts slashed in all directions, causing all buildings to collapse into pieces. Master Patra pointed to the sky and cursed, so angry that he almost went to dementia.
But Qingyi's [Soul Call] still worked. Countless soul fires erupted from the ground, swept around and above the crowd, and shot straight into the trunks of the trees. Under the nourishment of the soul, the tree of life at this moment is no different from a withered old tree, the tree is bare, not even a leaf. Despite this, the branches of the tree are still very thick, and the whole thing is like a large monster with countless tentacles reaching out to the sky, giving people a dark and grotesque feeling.
Finally, the black rain stopped falling, and the tree of life was finally shaped into an ancient tree that looked like it had been dead for thousands of years. The soul fires gradually lit up, gently swaying in the wind between the branches, burning the big tree into a blue fire tree, gorgeous and beautiful. There is only one light source in the whole city, and it is like a blue star. A skeleton rises from the dirt under the tree, and as soon as it is born, it automatically signs a soul contract with Qingyi, becomes a member of the city, and then moves around mechanically. One by one, the rotting vultures flew up to the trees, looking around with great satisfaction, as if they were going to call this place home.
—————————————————————————————————————
The Tree of Withered: The predecessor of the Tree of Withered is the Tree of Life, which is a demonized plant mutated by the breath of death, and the energy source continuously ignites the soul into a soul fire, so that the dead can be reborn; It is an important pillar of the Necronomicon Empire. It can absorb the vitality of the depths of the earth, rejuvenate the plants around it (Enchanted Plants only), and resurrect necromantic creatures (player only). Increases the number of skeletons by 20 per day. There can only be one withered tree in a city. Increases prosperity by 100, population limit by 20%, and popularity by 10.

Resurrection Point!
Qingyi burst into tears - there is finally a resurrection point in his city! After that, there is no need to be afraid of death and resurrection under Zeno's nose! It was only then that he felt a sense of belonging to the city.
Although Clavisol also thought the tree was incredible, she reacted and immediately took over the rest. With her dance-like movements, demonic plants grew under the city walls and on the streets, some were purple-black roses with poisonous stingers, some were man-eating flowers that opened their bloody maws from time to time, and some were dragon catchers that could swing inky vines...... They are so diverse that in the blink of an eye they can decorate the dead city of the dead like a midsummer night's garden! The ghost wolves who were patrolling were startled by the demonic plants that appeared from the claws of their feet, and sneezed one by one, apparently due to pollen allergies; The rotting vultures were happy to croak, and began to look for materials to weave birds' nests, and were very busy.
Master Patra shook Clavesore's hands in surprise and said in a loud voice, "Amazing, you are amazing! You make up for the city's biggest flaws! You've given it a supreme, special, eye-catching beauty! ”
Clavisol was shaken by Patra's hands so hard that her shoulders were shaking. Her face was blushing, and she said that she was not welcome, which was really a bit surprising.
Qingyi was also very happy, because as soon as these demonized plants came out, the people's heart value and prosperity soared a lot, and even the population limit increased a lot. In addition, demonic plants can also play a role in assisting the defense of the city, because they are not only beautifying the environment, but also monsters in nature, so they can automatically fight back against incoming enemies, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Robert whispered to Qingyi: "You have found a treasure!" ”
"That's it!" If there are eyebrows, Qingyi will definitely make an expression with eyebrows raised. He smiled and said, "Don't look at who I am, I'm the king of the necromancy!" ”
"You big head, king! Give me less smugness, hehe. Robert laughed.
