They might not be the most talented in magic, but they were definitely smart. They would naturally not be stingy if they could gain the favour of the project instructor with some gold coins.

“Return the extra money tomorrow.”

Matthew endured the pain and said,

“Since the standard has already been set, I can’t charge more. This time, I made a mistake. My scale was too small. It was poverty that limited my horizons.”

As he spoke, he sighed deeply.

Peggy strongly objected.

“It’s not easy to have a stable income. How can I return it?”

Matthew shook his head and said,

“This is a matter of principle. Don’t worry, next time I’ll set the price higher and rip off those mages!”

Hearing that there was a next time, Peggy picked out the extra gold coins unhappily.

In the following days.

The acolytes’ lives in the mushroom camp gradually got on track.

They dug pits during the day, went back to read books at night, and occasionally watched Lord Matthew plant trees himself. Their days were extremely stable.

Only the four necromancy apprentices had truly come into contact with part of the ‘Scorched Earth of Death’.

The Scar of the Dead spread for more than 80 kilometres in Rolling Stone Town.

It was obviously unrealistic to completely envelop it with a ritual.

Matthew’s plan was to build an umbrella-shaped protective belt on the barren land in the northeast. The advantage of this design was that it was flexible and could cope with the possible changes in the Scar of the Dead.

This protective umbrella made of scorched earth was about 20 kilometres long and 10 meters wide.

In order to cover this area, he would need about 10 official versions of the Scorched Earth Ritual.

Of course, this was not a problem for Matthew.

After the feasibility verification, the more important thing was to control the cost and the efficiency of the implementation.

In terms of cost, the only major part was the “Realm Heart Stone” used to communicate with the negative energy plane. The average price was around 350 gold, so 10 pieces would be 3500 gold.

Other than that, the total cost would not exceed 5,000 Gold.

This meant that Matthew had earned 25000 gold.

If it were the previous Matthew, he would definitely be very satisfied. However, after seeing the corruption within the Alliance and the generous conditions of the apprentices, he doubted whether he was the Al member with the least profit.

Although 25000 was a huge sum of money, the path of a mage was a bottomless pit. If he really wanted to spend money, the Cauldron House had priceless equipment that could make Matthew go bankrupt in an instant. “Looks like I’ll have to interact more with the other high-level mages to learn from them.”

Matthew thought to himself.

In terms of efficiency.

He brought four apprentices with him. After the initial explanations and demonstration, the project progressed quickly.

Ten days later.

Ten Scorched Earth Rituals were ready.

On the night of the eleventh day.

Matthew called Rheagar and the others as backup, and he lit up the Scorched Earth of Death that spanned 20 kilometres from north to south.

A large amount of negative energy suddenly spread out.

The surrounding environment produced an uneasy rhythm, but it quickly disappeared.

The entire process went smoothly.

Midnight.

The protective umbrella was completely formed. Matthew turned into a raven and looked down from the sky. After confirming that the path of the Scar of Death spreading southwest was blocked, he landed with relief.

The ritual was completed.

The next step was to wait for time to test the effect.

Considering that the Lord of Ashes in the Scar of the Dead still had the possibility of a counterattack, Matthew did not let his guard down.

He stayed near the Scar of the Dead day and night. He would only stay a little further away when planting trees.

But even when he was planting trees, there would be zombies and skeletons keeping an eye on the scar.

As for the mage apprentices…

The project should have ended, but in order to meet the minimum requirement of 15 days for Project Al, Matthew still kept them for five more days.

In order to ensure that these people would not cause trouble because they were too free…

In addition to the digging mission, Matthew found them some other chores to do.

For example, they could enchant daily items or they could help him copy books.

He had no choice.

Mages were all energetic fellows. Or rather, those who were not energetic enough could not become mages.

If Matthew hadn’t found something to exhaust their energy and concentration, these 15 days would have been really difficult.

Time passed day by day.

Very quickly.

Renesme also welcomed her ” graduation ceremony “, which was the last strengthening.

As the apprentices had been helping him dig the holes, Matthew’s efficiency had increased a lot.

The holes that the apprentices dug were much better than the zombies. Matthew almost didn’t need to adjust the holes to use them.

For example, Matthew remembered that there was a guy named Lambier who dug every hole into the shape of a heart.

Matthew specially called Lesley over to give her a good scolding. Lesley stayed in Lambier’s Mushroom Hut that night.

After that, no one dared to play tricks on the shape of the pit.

In short, Matthew planted 759 trees in one go during the last period of time and obtained a total of 15 enhancements!

At the same time, the size of the North and South Oak Forest had reached 2203 trees, which was not far from the 3000 trees required for the side mission.

After 15 enhancements.

Renesme’s level broke through to Level 17 in one go.

This meant that she had become Matthew’s first Tier 5 undead.

After that, there were 12 keywords.

Unfortunately, most of the keywords this time were blue and white. It was not stunning enough. Fortunately, it was practical..
