A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 278 The Order of the Daughter of Purgatory!

 …

Facing Matthew’s question, A Bing scratched his crotch and responded a little slowly:

 “She is safe.”

 “I know she’s safe.”

Matthew maintained a high degree of patience, and he said:

“Just can you describe the scene in another way?”

　A Bing was thoughtful:

 “The enemies are not safe.”

Matthew was choked for a moment, and then followed this entry point and continued to ask:

 “Who were the enemies at that time?”

 A Bing replied:

 “Devil.”

Matthew tries to provide more precise directionality:

 “Devil? Big or small?”

Unexpectedly, A Bing thought for three full minutes before slowly answering:

"small…"

Matthew frowned. Did Sif kill all little devils?

Isn't this consistent with Hood's report?

  It can be used in the next second.

 “There are also big ones.”

 A Bing added slowly.

 This made Matthew very angry.

 But he can't blame A Bing, after all, the other person's intelligence level is there...

To say that his intelligence is equivalent to that of a five- or six-year-old child may be a bit of a false claim of academic qualifications!

　　Seems to sense Matthew's emotional changes.

On the other side of the undead contract, A Bing's faint grievance came from.

Matthew quickly adjusted his mentality and asked from a different angle:

 “Do you feel anything was different about Sif that day?”

A Bing immediately replied:

“The clothes she wears are different from what she usually wears…”

Matthew’s eyes lit up.

 He quickly thought that when he found Sif and Banna, the former was not wearing the clothes he had worn when he came to Rapids with him.

 When you encounter danger outside, why do you change your clothes?

Combined with Matthew’s previous experience of fighting side by side with Rhaegar, I’m afraid it’s because Sif has activated her second form!

  After all, the devil's second form is often much larger than its normal form.

 It is inevitable to burst into clothes.

“So Sif is most likely to have activated her second form, and she showed great strength in the abyss death battle…”

“This may be one of the important conditions for them to tide over the difficulties.”

“But it’s still far from enough to kill a twenty-level fallen angel.”

Matthew continued to ask while trying to figure it out:

 “Any other feelings?”

A Bing stood there blankly. After a long time, he couldn't help but squeeze his crotch. At that moment, his soul fire became slightly unstable!

"horrible."

 A Bing responded.

horrible?

Matthew looked surprised.

There is no word fear in the dictionary for undead.

 A Bing thinks Sif is scary.

This shows that her strength is far beyond her imagination!

But this is neither scientific nor magical, and it goes against the common sense of the strict hierarchy of devil blood.

 “How scary is it?”

 “Is it close to me?”

 Matthew's curiosity was completely aroused.

A Bing glanced at Matthew uneasily. He actually took half a step back, and then said hesitantly:

 “More terrifying than the master…”

"How can it be!?"

 Matthew couldn't help but blurt out.

He is very aware of his own strength. Regardless of his level, Matthew is only at the peak of the fourth level, but with the blessing of many fields and abilities, especially the upgrade of spells, Matthew's spells can easily reach the peak of the fifth level!

　　Not to mention that his signature spells can even stand up to the majesty of legends!

 With his current strength.

　　There is no problem in saying that Xiao Invincible is a legend.

  But in the eyes of A Bing.

 I am actually worse than a little girl who has just awakened her bloodline.

 This is a bit outrageous!

 Of course.

 The Awakening of Bloodline has nothing to do with seniority or inferiority, it is purely about competing for ancestors and talent.

 But Matthew thought about it.

Rhaegar’s abilities were like that.

Melinda may have some tricks, but she is not a shockingly powerful person.

 The devil's bloodline has strong lawful characteristics.

 The probability of bloodline mutation occurring is extremely small.

  It is almost impossible for an idiot father to suddenly give birth to a genius girl in a devil's society.

Matthew went through the ins and outs of this logic.

 But he could only conclude that—

 There is something wrong with A Bing’s perception!

 Otherwise, there is no reason for me to be weaker than Sif!

 It must be like this!

Matthew even thought in confusion:

“Is it because I am so gentle to them that I don’t have any majesty in their minds, which leads to this misjudgment?”

 Looking at A Bing with a look of awe.

 He also felt that this possibility was relatively low. These contract partners knew Matthew the best.

 They could not have been unaware of Matthew's terror.

  And further.

“Even if Ah Bing makes a misjudgment, Sif’s second form after awakening must have extremely strong fighting power. Is this related to the Holy Grail of Sin?”

“No, I have to ask Rhaegar later!”

 Matthew became more and more interested in this matter.

This feeling is indescribable.

 A little girl who had been ignored by him suddenly became someone who seemed to be equal to him in terms of strength.

 Matthew is eager to know the truth behind all this!

At the moment he waved his hand to let A Bing leave.

 The latter retreated into the shadows with relief.

Matthew continued to look at the attachments of the report.

 When he turned to the last page.

 Suddenly a golden card slipped down automatically.

 Falled into his palm.

Matthew looked at it carefully and made a slightly surprised expression.

 That’s a folding card!

  The front of the folded card shows the standard magic circle and space contract.

 The back is painted with a beautiful garden.

The depths of the garden exude a bright golden light.

The whole picture is dynamic. If you focus on the golden light, you will seem to be able to follow the path of the garden to its depths.

 In the blink of an eye.

Matthew saw a large number of gold coins lying quietly in treasure boxes deep in the garden!

 …

 Hint: You received Hood’s thank you gift “Garden Treasure Box” (space folding card)

 Accountant: You quickly estimate that the total value of the gold coins in these treasure chests is close to one million!

 Note: You deserve this, thank you for everything you have done for me—

 Dafia Hood』

 …

 One million gold coins!

Matthew’s hand holding the folded card trembled slightly.

 “Are these old guys so rich?”

 His heart was a little shocked.

He guessed that Hood would remain silent.

But I didn’t expect that the other party would be so inhumane.

 Being able to give away one million easily shows that Old Hood's wealth is evident.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually quite reasonable.

Rapid City is far wealthier than Rolling Stone.

 It is the largest partner of Jade Cangting and almost monopolizes the elves’ foreign trade.

Hood operated in that city for another eighty or ninety years.

 With the accumulation of time.

 The aggregation effect of wealth is very terrifying.

It’s no wonder that the current city lord of Rapids wants to deal with Hood.

Matthew previously thought that the city lord was simply bewitched.

 But think about it carefully.

 This may also have something to do with the Hood family's crazy blood-sucking in Rapid City.

 In this one million gold coins.

How much of it is just income, and how much of it is the people’s fat and the people’s anointing?

 Thinking of this.

Matthew couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

 He couldn't refuse the money that came to his door, not to mention that he deserved it.

 What made him sigh was.

 In the past, he must have felt that this amount of money was extremely unacceptable.

but now.

 Such thoughts only flashed through his mind, and basically did not leave any psychological burden.

 Matthew can clearly feel the changes in his mentality.

Perhaps it’s because I gradually saw the cruelty and darkness of this world.

 In the context of those evil things.

 The slightly gray areas seem less hideous.

  Replace it with the previous one.

 It is certainly impossible for him to cooperate with Blinken.

  Can be half a month ago.

After Isabel went on a killing spree in Cross City, didn't he still finish it off for her?

 Matthew visited the families of some innocent people.

 Faced with the doubts of some people.

He either remained silent, or he could only insist that it was the witch from the Dragon Worship Cult who did it.

This helplessness stemming from reality made Matthew unable to make any changes other than sighing.

Mages are certainly not good people.

 But compared with the gods and the evil things in the outer plane, they are much better.

 “The world is like a dirty fish tank…”

 With emotion.

Matthew couldn’t help but recall what Suriel once said to him.

 And then gained a deeper understanding.

“You can only do your best first, and try to be nice to ordinary people on your own territory.”

He secretly warned himself.

Just at this time.

 He suddenly realized the value of Rhaegar as never before!

"I'm afraid that the only lord who supports the residents with his own money is the only one in Irondor."

Matthew smiled silently.

He thought for a while, he hadn't been to the city hall for a long time recently, and he happened to encounter Sif's doubts again, so he packed up and quickly headed to Rolling Stone Town.

 However, he had just stepped into the office hall.

 What I saw was a messy scene—

 Several groups of soldiers were coming in and out of the lord's mansion.

 In the office hall.

Rhaegar sat slumped on the sofa, holding a letter in his hand.

Zeller was giving orders with a tired face.

 When Matthew entered.

Zeller is saying:

"After she awakens, my divination will be ineffective on her, but a girl who has never traveled far away should not be able to cover up her own traces. I am summoning tracking experts to find her before dark. !”

 However, Rhaegar sat on the sofa and didn't say anything in particular.

 His reaction seemed slow.

 Emotionally, it is full of frustration.

Matthew stepped forward quickly:

 “Is it Sif?”

When Zeller saw him, a rare smile appeared on his tired face:

“Yes, Sif ran away from home, leaving only a letter.”

 As he spoke, he pointed at Rhaegar.

 Matthew came over:

 “Can you let me have a look?”

Rhaegar handed the letter to Matthew listlessly.

Matthew glanced over hastily, his eyes becoming subtle.

 What Sif explained in the letter was quite simple. She only said that she had been invited to participate in the admission examination by a magic academy in the floating city in the far north.

 Because it has been suppressed for too long.

 She longs to see the world alone.

 She also left her planned route in the letter—

Starting from Rolling Stone Town, head all the way north, passing through Rapid City and Watcher's Highlands, passing through the Cloud Plateau and the Helen Mountains. After arriving in the Northland, quickly head towards the Kraken Pass in the southwest, crossing the Troll Kingdom, crossing the Cannibal Islands and The Sea of ​​Black Chaos finally successfully reached the Far North.

 “This plan is a bit outrageous...”

 Matthew didn’t know what to say after reading it.

Sif's idea of ​​planning the route is quite simple and crude, that is, the shortest straight line between two points, but the many obstacles along the way are like natural dangers, and even Matthew dare not go through it like this!

 “She can do tricks now.”

Matthew reminded:

“This roadmap may be deliberately misleading us.”

Zeller glanced at Matthew unexpectedly, but after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement:

"No matter what, we have to get her back. The outside world is too dangerous."

Matthew was about to join in.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Rega suddenly shook his head and said:

 “What if I get it back?”

 “She already has her own ideas and won’t listen to me anymore.”

 His face is full of loneliness:

"I have never seen her like that. She is completely different from the Sif I know."

“Yesterday she had another argument with me, and her back when she turned to leave was very much like Melinda’s back when she left.”

“She is her daughter after all, and no one can stop them from what they are determined to do.”

Matthew hurriedly explained:

 “Sif and Melinda are definitely different.”

"I have talked with her. Sif's disgust for her own blood may be more serious than we imagined, and she is deeply troubled by this. Perhaps there is also the influence of the Holy Grail of Sin."

“Rhaegar, don’t take things too seriously, she will always be your daughter.”

Rhaegar gently rubbed his knees with both hands, his eyes dull, and murmured to himself:

 “What I know, what I know, is all my fault. In fact, I am too selfish.”

"I just want Sif to be fixed at a certain moment forever. In my consciousness, she should always be the daughter who has always been obedient and obedient. She must live her life completely according to my will."

“I consider this a form of protection, but if I think about it carefully, I am afraid that this so-called protection has caused irreparable damage to her.”

“The concepts I instilled in her became her weapon against me, and I brought it upon myself…”

 Matthew listened quietly to Rhaegar's confession.

 He wanted to refute the other party, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with what Rhaegar said.

  Sometimes parents’ overprotection can indeed cause greater harm to their children.

 Sif is, after all, an individual with her own thoughts.

 She is eager to grow, to see the outside world, and to see changes in her life.

These are very legitimate needs.

Matthew didn’t know how the father and daughter communicated in private, but with Rhaegar’s previous over-protection of Sif, a quarrel between the two was naturally inevitable. This kind of thing.

 As an outsider, he cannot intervene. At most, he can only say a few words to help.

“You are better than most parents if you realize this.”

Matthew tried to find something nice to say:

"Sif actually loves you very much, but her body may be undergoing changes that we can't predict. This change has aggravated her emotional ups and downs. Running away from home may be a temporary thing. Maybe she will die in two days. came back."

Rhaegar covered his face with his hands in pain:

“I know that my daughter will grow up eventually, and sooner or later she will live her own life. I just didn’t expect this day to come so quickly..."

 Matthew and Zeller looked at each other.

obviously.

 They couldn't let Rhaegar indulge in such resentment.

 So under Zeller’s suggestion.

Matthew opened his mouth to encourage:

"It's okay. I can ask the prophecy mages in the alliance to help find Sif's whereabouts. At least we can ensure her safety."

However, Rhaegar shook his head:

 “I’m not worried about Sif’s safety.”

“I don’t think anyone can hurt her along the way. After all, she is indeed different now than before.”

“If any foolish warlock dares to try to kidnap Sif, he will die quickly.”

Matthew heard this and his heart moved:

“So Sif has indeed awakened a very powerful power?”

 “What’s going on with this power?”

“I suspect her strength is close to mine now!”

Rhaegar glanced at Matthew.

 Suddenly puffed up his chest proudly:

“Is there a possibility that she is better than you now?”

 Matthew smiled slightly.

 At this time.

Zeller's extremely serious voice came over:

 “Is it related to that drop of blood?”

Rhaegar nodded.

Zeller asked in great surprise:

"How is it possible? Did you really find that drop of blood? How long has that drop of blood been on your hand? Why didn't I know anything about it?"

Rhaegar said with a bitter look:

 “It’s Melinda.”

“It was only after Sif completed her awakening that I realized that she had an extra breath from Baator!”

“Afterwards, it is speculated that when Melinda was pregnant, she found a drop of Baator’s blood through some unknown means, and then integrated it into Sif’s body.”

"The origin of this drop of Baator's blood may be related to the necromancer who took Melinda away, but it may also be just my prediction. In short, I was careless and did not discover this detail at the time."

"And now, Sif's body has gathered the most evil and powerful demonic power in the whole purgatory. Under my influence, she originally hated evil and demons. No wonder she was so resistant to awakening, and she became emotional after awakening. It’s so unstable…”

 Blood of Baator? !

Matthew was shocked.

 He once told Margaret the story of the Blood Flag family.

This powerful force that occupies almost half of the territory in Purgatory originally originated from the human leader and the devil Memphist in Purgatory, and the drop of Baator's blood they found.

Batona was a terrifying existence that once unified the nine realms of purgatory.

He is more powerful than any devil in purgatory now. It was just the unlucky Scourge Mage who reached the peak and was eventually sealed under the Bridge of Living Beings.

The power of the blood essence he left behind is unimaginable!

 “Are you sure that’s Baator’s breath?”

 Matthew did not dare to neglect.

Rhaegar nodded slightly:

“I wasn’t sure at first, but with the recent quarrels, I found that the aura she showed when her temper was out of control was exactly the same as that of my sister——

 Well, that’s Lutitia, the current queen of the Blood Banner Kingdom. She possesses the purest Baator bloodline in the Blood Banner family today.

However, compared to Sif, even Lutitia’s Bator aura is not that strong.

I am basically certain that Sif’s body has one more drop of Baator’s blood than an ordinary Blood Banner member. "

“This drop of blood will bring her infinite power, but it may also make her irreversible. Only an ambitious woman like Melinda can do this. Damn it..."

Rhaegar's face was filled with uneasiness and annoyance.

At this moment, Matthew finally understood Rega’s inner struggle.

 Let’s not mention that my daughter suddenly grew up and needed to be independent.

 Faced with Sif's sudden power, Rhaegar lost confidence in himself.

 What worries him most now is probably that he is worried that Sif will go astray.

“In the final analysis, I am still too weak. If I had legendary strength, of course I would be confident that I could guide her to the right path, but I don’t..."

“I really shouldn’t have wasted these years. If I had worked hard, I might be a legend now.”

Rhaegar held his head and yelled strangely.

Zeller came over and kicked him angrily:

“Wake up, with your talent, the best you can do is just be a Li Weiqi.”

 “Maybe you’re not as good as him…”

Rhaegar protested:

“Perhaps I really have the talent to become a legendary warrior?”

Zeller rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Matthew muttered:

“In this case, Sif’s choice to go to the Floating City is actually a very correct choice. She may also be worried about not being able to control the power in her body. She needs a legendary level mage or warlock to help lead the way.”

Rhaegar slumped on the sofa helplessly:

"you're right."

 “But I just feel bad.”

“And I’m worried that she will suffer if she goes out alone. What if she is a road addict like me?”

Matthew immediately interrupted Rhaegar’s resentment:

“So the first priority is that we should find Sif and send her to the floating city through formal channels?”

Rhaegar gritted his teeth, still seeming unwilling to give in.

Zeller came over and patted his shoulder hard:

 “It’s time to grow old, Rhaegar.”

“You can’t tie her to you. As Matthew said, finding a better teacher for her is the best option.”

Rhaegar retorted:

 “I’m not old yet!”

Zeller sneered:

“Yesterday you had an affair with the wives of the nobles from Red Earth Mountain in the dressing room of the official post house, and the average duration did not exceed seven minutes.”

“This is even after applying that sword oil!”

 “This is far from your previous level, Rhaegar!”

Rhaegar blushed and immediately defended:

“That’s because their husbands are also nearby.”

Matthew was stunned when he heard this. well

Zeller waved his hand disapprovingly:

“Those nobles voluntarily gave their women to Rhaegar in exchange for some of their inherent interests in the Red Earth Mountains.”

"At first Rega was hypocritically unwilling to accept it, but those nobles stated that it is the custom of Red Earth Mountain to offer wives to the lords they are loyal to. If Rega cannot be humble, then they will be very frightened. No, I dare to stay in Hongtu Mountain any longer.”

 “So he went up happily.”

“Judging from the expressions of the noble ladies afterwards, I can only say that his performance was unsatisfactory.”

Rhaegar could not refute.

 Have no choice but to continue sighing.

 Matthew blinked:

“So, do you agree to let Sif go to the Floating City?”

Rhaegar said dejectedly:

 “So what if I don’t agree?”

“Let her go, Matthew, and please find a good teacher for her. Just tell me how much it will cost.”

 Matthew nodded.

Since Rhaegar had spoken out, he was of course willing to promote the reconciliation between the father and daughter.

 But before that.

 He must find Sif first.

 Finding someone is not difficult for the mage in the alliance, but finding a teacher is.

Just as Matthew was wondering who to find to divine Sif's whereabouts.

Rhaegar suddenly pulled Matthew’s sleeve:

“You said if I work hard from now on, will I still have a chance to become a legend?”

Matthew originally wanted to say it was unlikely.

 But he suddenly thought that he seemed to have the invisible title of a legendary mentor.

 So he said:

 “Try it, I think you have a good chance.”

Rhaegar’s eyes lit up.

 “Then I will start increasing the training intensity now!”

 “I can only ask you about Sif’s affairs first!”

 Matthew agreed wholeheartedly.

 Then he left the lord's office with a smile.

 “The blood of Baator?”

 “It’s really exciting...”

 Unknowingly.

 Matthew quickened his pace.

Through the portal of the Crucible House, Matthew spent a lot of money to come to the Far North Floating City for the first time.

 He did not wander around in this legendary floating city.

Rather, he immediately found the person he wanted to visit during his trip.

 The genius mage Hibbert.

 Of course it’s no surprise.

 The female mage Fei Liwen, who had a child with him, was also beside him.

 After the Cross City incident.

 Feliwen's attitude towards Matthew has changed significantly.

 After listening to Matthew’s narrative.

Hibbert still looked confused.

Feliwen has already opened her mouth and said:

"If it is really the blood of Baator, then many people among the palace mages will be willing to accept her as a student."

"But before that, we must find the girl as soon as possible, and we can't let anything happen to her!"

 “Hibbert can’t handle this kind of thing, let me help you!”

  Half an hour later.

 Northeast of Rolling Stone Town, in the wilderness only a few miles away from Hag Po Castle.

 A lonely figure is walking slowly north.

 Her figure was light and nimble, as if she was filled with indescribable joy.

 Only from time to time.

 She will also look back and look at the small town where she has lived for more than ten years.

 No matter how many times you look back.

 She ultimately chose to continue heading north resolutely.

 “The next step is for me to walk alone.”

 “I want to go by myself!”

With such a firm thought in mind, the girl unknowingly came to the vicinity of the Trace of the Dead.

 She frowned and looked ahead:

 “Are we going to take a detour?”

 At this time.

 A magic carpet fell from the sky.

Standing on the magic carpet is a female mage with a beautiful face and a gentle tone:

"Is this Miss Sif? I am Feliwen, the palace mage of the Floating City. I was entrusted by a friend. I will take you directly to your destination."

 Said.

 She showed the Seven Saints Alliance's identity mark and the assessment information reported by Sif to the alliance.

“Is that friend you are talking about Matthew?”

 Sif asked curiously.

 Feliwen nodded slightly:

"He said that if he came forward, you might mistake him for a lobbyist sent by your father."

 “So he himself did not come.”

Xif pursed her lips and said nothing.

Feliwen saw that her head was covered with beads of sweat, so she asked thoughtfully:

 “Want to drink milk tea?”

As she spoke, she conjured a cup of milk tea out of thin air.

 Sif looked at this scene with curiosity.

Then he asked a little embarrassedly:

 “Can I have two drinks?”

Feliwen was stunned for a moment, then said with a gentle smile:

"sure."

 So she had another drink.

Sif took two cups of milk tea, apologized very politely, and then her figure suddenly disappeared!

 In mid-air.

On that invisible magic carpet.

Matthew looked at Sif who appeared on his face in surprise.

 The latter looked at Matthew with a smile.

 The little face is almost touching his nose.

 “I order you to drink my milk tea!”

she says.

Matthew instinctively wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he suddenly found that he had lost his resistance to Sif's words!

 “I’ll feed you something to drink.”

Her tone was sweet and gentle, but the content was undeniably domineering.

Matthew couldn’t help but lower his head.

Just when his lips were about to touch the edge of the cup of milk tea.

 The milk tea was suddenly removed.

A pair of soft and sweet thin lips kissed her.

that moment.

 Matthew’s mind went blank.

 He hasn't had time to enjoy the sweetness and tenderness.

 A sharp pain irritated his nerves—

“Ah, it’s all my fault that I was too careless, the bite caused bleeding...”

　　That's what it said.

 But there was no trace of apology on the girl's face.

 She licked her lips arrogantly, and at the same time, her eyes looked at Matthew full of provocation.

next moment.

 Matthew could feel his waist becoming itchy.

 A thin tail wrapped around his waist, and the tip of the tail pierced his robe, quickly carving a mark on Matthew's waist!

 “Well, goodbye, Matthew.”

 Sif suddenly took a step back, and her whole temperament changed into the sweet and gentle one before.

 “Say sorry to Rhaegar for me.”

 “I will come back, after I find my own way.”

 “You have to work hard too, don’t let me pass you by accident…”

 While speaking.

 She handed one of the cups of milk tea into Matthew's hand.

 Then disappears again on the magic carpet.

  After a while.

 Feliwen's magic carpet slowly rose and moved away.

Matthew sat on his magic carpet blankly and watched them leave.

 On the data column.
