A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

..

Eternal Island.

In an underground cave that was as beautiful as a crystal palace.

There were countless kobolds lying on the ground. They looked like they were sleeping soundly. When Matthew walked past them, he could even hear light snores.

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly, Matthew."

Hussman's voice sounded a little awkward.

"Will has just recovered from the long treatment. He probably needs to sleep for a while. Uh, it won't be long. Maybe ten to fifteen minutes.

" His spirit is very strong. He's the strongest kobold I've ever seen."

Matthew looked at the little boy beside him curiously.

"Have you met a lot of kobolds?"

Hussman lowered his head shyly.

"Yes.

"Before I met Dudley, I used to travel with some kobolds, but they couldn't understand my thoughts and couldn't observe my world. In the end, I could only part ways with them.

" I once thought that species like the kobolds would not be able to understand the beauty of the spore world, but Will's appearance subverted my understanding. Clearly, I was too narrow-minded before."

Matthew smiled and said,

" There's no need to think that way. Everyone has their own limitations. This has nothing to do with narrow-mindedness."

Hussman bowed sincerely and said,

"Thank you for your comfort, Matthew."

The little fellow was always so polite, making Matthew feel a little uneasy.

He looked at Will and the others on the ground.

In his perception.

Matthew noticed that the kobolds were different from before.

" His connection with Mushroom isn't that close anymore."

Hussman nodded.

"Yes, this is also the reason why I arranged this trial for him.

" Previously, the microorganisms in his body were at risk of losing control. This risk stemmed from his constant self-denial in his cognition. His spirit has always been strong, but he also faced many mental problems.

" I've solved some of his problems. He can get along better with the fungi with which he signed a contract.

" Before that, he was at risk of becoming a slave to the fungus, but now I can guarantee that won't happen."

Matthew looked at Hussman curiously.

" But from the perspective of microorganisms, Will becoming a slave to the fungus isn't bad for you, right?"

Hussman was clearly the Lord of the Rotten Sac.

However, his thinking was closer to that of a human or a humanoid creature.

This was quite surprising to Matthew.

"Yes, but I know Dudley doesn't want that, so I will try my best to avoid it."

Hussman explained,

" Dudley often told me that microorganisms should be taken seriously, but they must also be controlled in the process of development. Otherwise, the world might become completely different.

"Although I personally don't think it's a big deal for the world to be controlled by microorganisms, I can understand and agree with his thoughts."

Matthew nodded.

Dudley's influence on Hussman was indeed imperceptible. If not for Dudley, Hussman would have developed into a monster lord who posed a great threat to the world.

It could cause turmoil in the world and even cause the world to be on the verge of destruction.

However, it was more likely that he would be killed by a powerful legendary mage or even a holy mage during his growth stage.

Dudley's warning was very reasonable. An appropriate amount of restraint was not only to protect the world but also to protect the microorganisms themselves, led by Hussman.

"Let's talk about Will. What's the origin of the fungus that he signed a contract with?"

Matthew asked.

Hussman immediately replied,

" A mutated kobold mushroom. In the Underdark, it's a fungus that can be seen everywhere. It has great practical value and lighting value for humanoid creatures. Because it often grows in the environment where kobolds live, it has this name.

" Ordinary kobold mushrooms can't possibly have such powerful parasitic abilities and mutation abilities. The fungus on Will's body obviously came from another source. I tried to communicate with them simply. This wasn't easy because those kobold mushrooms hadn't formed a true consciousness or a collective consciousness yet.

" However, I've also grasped the basic information of the other party during this process.

" These kobold mushrooms are extremely beautiful in appearance. They can emit hole-shaped rays of light in dark environments. They are not poisonous and can be eaten by most humanoid creatures.

"But the kobold mushrooms on Dudley's body are obviously mutated. They have a certain parasitic ability.

"After entering the body of a humanoid creature, they will quickly decompose themselves and complete the parasitism of the host in the form of spores.

" As a parasitic fungus, the mutated kobold mushroom doesn't cause much damage to the host's body. After being parasitized, the humanoid creature will usually become hungry more easily. As long as you can provide enough nutrients on time, this parasitism won't cause you much trouble.

"The few side effects might be better digestion, easier hunger, and loss of the ability to poop."

Matthew pondered for a moment.

"For some mages, this might not be a side effect."

Hussman looked at him curiously.

"Why?

"Is it because you don't have to poop anymore, so you can spend more time studying spells?"

Matthew smiled and said nothing.

Hussman became even more curious and asked.

Just as Matthew was thinking about how to answer, Dudley walked over from outside the cave and sternly stopped Matthew.
