A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 29 Matthew's Living Room (Part 1) (4K)

  …

"The first thing, when I went to visit my neighbor's house in the middle of the night, I happened to find that the lord's guard went out from the gate on the east side of the mage area. They were well-equipped and fully armed. There were about twenty people. I guess they probably didn't go out for an outing. of."

   Peggy said.

  Matthew nodded slightly.

  The Lord's Guard is the absolute elite of the Blood Banner family. It is independent of the garrison and only obeys Rhaegar's orders.

  They will not leave the camp next to the Lord's Mansion most of the time.

   Only war or rebellion is likely to see them elsewhere in the town.

   "Rega has been holding back for half a month, and it seems that he has made a big move."

  Matthew gently kneaded the fluff at the end of the quill pen, his eyes gradually cleared up:

   "It should be a traitor."

  Peggy shrugged: "I don't know about that, I just share interesting or suspicious signs with you according to your request."

   "But if your judgment is correct, then the traitor is probably not a small person, and it is very likely that he is a knight with a fief, otherwise he would not need so many people."

  Matthew nodded in agreement.

   "Although this matter is important, it has nothing to do with us. What about the next one?"

   "The next thing is especially important!"

  Peggy stared at Matthew very seriously, and said word by word:

   "Matthew, you have to find a class!"

  Matthew was taken aback: "Don't we have enough money?"

  Peggy threw a stack of bills and an account book, with various items and numbers written on it, and looked at Matthew dazzled.

   "Here is the account book for the last quarter, and the budget for the next quarter that I just compiled.

   Let’s talk about income first.

  You went out a few times recently and brought back some one-time income. These gold coins are about 700 or so.

   And since you took leave from Sever School, Principal Ren stopped your double salary, relying only on the subsidy from the security station, your monthly income is only 50 gold coins.

  With those numbers in mind, let's talk about spending—

  In terms of food and lodging, you have high requirements for three meals a day, and I am also providing them to you in different ways, but many of the ingredients themselves are very expensive; fortunately, those fairies will send some fresh seasonal vegetables and mountain delicacies every now and then.

   But even so, we have to spend a lot in a month. Here, it is very clear above, your food expenditure is about 5 gold per month, and I need to buy negative energy stones to maintain life and physical strength, I have been deliberately reducing consumption recently, but there are about 25 gold per month .

   Look, you and I need 30 gold for a month's food expenses! "

  Peggy danced and said:

   "This is too extravagant!"

  Matthew pinched the bridge of his nose:

   "It is indeed a luxury."

"However, the biggest expense is still in the greenhouse. In order to ripen a large number of seeds at the same time and cultivate them into saplings, you need to open the growth circle in the greenhouse all the time. This requires a lot of silver powder and sun stone. The monthly expenditure is more than 100 gold coins!

  This does not include the cost of buying seeds.

   Next, you should buy a whole set of attribute enhancement scrolls. Even if the **** mage in Baiyan City is willing to give you a discount, a set will cost 200 gold coins.

  I also know that you want to buy a new magic book, a new magic bag, and the ring that increases the upper limit of energy.

   But if this situation continues, your deposit will be exhausted within 7 months!

  We will be bankrupt by then! Matthew! "

   Peggy looked very nervous and insecure.

  Matthew thought for a while: "I have also calculated the expenditure situation. You may not have noticed that the major factor causing the expenditure gap is actually the greenhouse. After this spring, I will greatly reduce the consumption of the greenhouse..."

   "But that's still going to make ends meet, isn't it?"

Peggy stared at him, then covered her jawbone with one hand, and said rather pompously: "Why don't you let me go back to the negative energy plane, Matthew, where I don't need extra negative energy stones to live Go down! Although I don't like that place very much, at least it can lighten your burden."

  Matthew looked at her speechlessly.

   "Or do you go back to class? Sever School can't do without you, you are an excellent history teacher!"

   Paige tried to reason with emotion.

   "The salary given to me by Sever School is only 60 gold coins a month. According to your calculation, we still can't make ends meet."

   Matthew spread his hands, indicating that he is already a salted fish who doesn't want to go to work.

   "No, as far as I know, as long as you are willing to go back to class, your salary will rise to 100 gold coins a month!"

  Peggy’s picture can be seen in:

   "So, go back to class, Matthew, this family needs your income, and the girls in the school are also waiting for you to go back. Well, I heard that several boys also like you very much."

  Matthew was immediately alert: "Did you take money from Principal Ren?"

   Peggy confessed:

"Actually, this is the third thing I want to say—Miss Sif came here today, and she said she wanted to find you. I said you were not here, so she planned to wait for you in the living room. I told her that you might not come back tonight. , she looked a little disappointed, and after sitting in the kitchen for about an hour, she left with some regrets, but she told me that she will visit you again at the same time tomorrow."

  Matthew rubbed his temples: "Did you refuse for me?"

  Peggy glanced at him: "I agreed for you."

  Matthew asked, "Why?"

  Peggy crossed her arms:

"Because that girl is very cute. She chatted with me about the recipes for more than an hour in the kitchen, and she also took the initiative to ask you which dishes you like to eat. She promised me that when I came over tomorrow, she would bring me the purgatory recipes hidden at home. Looking back, as a skeleton who aspires to become a top chef, of course I can't refuse!"

  Matthew was a little amused: "So that's why you encouraged me to go to work—is that what Sif meant? Also, this is the big thing you said?"

  Peggy rightfully said:

   "It's a virtue to be on time, Matthew."

   "Besides, it's about my dream and your happiness, so why isn't it important?"

   "What I want to remind you is that Sif is different from other girls. Her mind is much more mature than what you think of as an underage girl. I think she is very suitable for you."

  Matthew spread his hands and joked, "It's a pity that her father is not suitable for me."

  Peggy said seriously: "I think so too, so I gave her a suggestion. When I ask her to come to you tomorrow, she must get rid of her father who likes to follow her daughter!"

  Matthew scratched his head nervously:

   "So Rhaegar is following Sif again today? Why doesn't he have work of his own to do!"

  Peggy said: "Who knows, he is a poor man, but this kind of sick protection may not bring happiness to Sif. He should learn to let her grow up on her own."

  Matthew joked: "You seem to have a lot of experience in raising children."

  Peggy froze for a moment, her soul fire flickered again, and she didn't speak for a long time.

   "Um, have new memories?" Matthew lowered his voice.

"No." Peggy shook her head: "It's just this sentence, I seem to have heard it from another person, I don't know if you have had a similar experience - a certain moment, a certain sentence, that kind of strong deja vu The feeling, as if I have experienced..."

  Matthew nodded.

  The two were silent for a while.

  Peggy suddenly asked again: "So are you willing to go back to class?"

Matthew blinked: "The reason why I was willing to go to class at the beginning was because of lack of money, and on the other hand, I hoped to use the school library and the books at students' homes to supplement knowledge. Now there are no reasons for these two reasons. It's so urgent, so I suggest you forget that suggestion just now."

  He paused: "But I really should find myself a legal and stable business with quick money. Do you have any thoughts on this, Peggy?"

  Peggy yawned, looking uninterested: "How would I know, I'm just a skeleton with nothing to do."

   "Good night, Matthew."

  …

  The next night.

   Matthew, who had been busy in the woods for a day, returned to his home in the town ahead of schedule.

   After dinner, he took a shower, and then waited in the living room with a book.

  Although the content of the book is not boring, Matthew is a little absent-minded.

  He was mainly thinking about how to tactfully persuade Sif to stop looking for him every now and then.

  He had a good impression of Sif.

  So I don't want to hurt her even more.

   Seven o'clock in the evening.

   It's almost time for Sif to visit yesterday.

  A bell rang outside the house.

  Matthew put down his book and got up quickly to open the door.

  However, what surprised him was.

   Standing outside the fence was another woman.

   "Samantha?"

  Matthew looked at each other in surprise.

   "Forgive me for coming uninvited, and please don't blame Ella, I begged her to give me your address."

  Samantha looked a little tired.

   But there was a strange look in her eyes.

  At this time, she was wearing a dress that conformed to the trend of human towns, but didn't fit very well.

   Chest bulging and trembling slightly.

  Her expression also looked a little cramped.

   "Uh, I'm not used to places where humans gather, can you let me in?"

  Samantha asked in a low voice.

"sure…"

  However, before Matthew opened the door to welcome her in.

  Not far away, a mournful roar erupted: "No!"

  The man approached while roaring:

   "Samantha, what are you doing, why are you going to this necromancer's house!"

  Matthew stared silently at the menacing Eli.

   "Look, this..."

  He looks at Samantha again.

   Next second.

  The embarrassment on the female druid's face disappeared instantly, replaced by anger and sternness.

   "Eli, I warned you, no! Do! Follow! Track! Me!"

  Speaking of the last sentence, Samantha's voice was as terrifying as the roar of a beast.

  She turns and runs to Eli.

   Every step you take.

  Her body swelled a bit.

   After three steps.

  Beautiful and flawless brown hair draped over her body, and she changed from a human female about 1.7 meters into a brown bear over three meters tall!

   "Just a moment, Mr. Matthew."

  Samantha turned around and said something, with a gentle and apologetic tone.

   "You never said that to me."

   Eli is still accusing angrily.

  The giant bear rushed over fiercely. As soon as she grabbed Eli's body, she rushed out of the town like pulling a mop!

  In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared one after another.

   Only a not-so-shallow mark was left on the cobbled ground.

ten minutes later.

  A black shadow appeared at the end of the mark.

   That's a leopard.

  She jumped lightly in front of Matthew:

   "Sorry, but Eli won't bother us anymore."

  Matthew thought about it, but he still didn't say anything after all.

  He politely led Samantha into the living room.

   "Peggy, we have guests!"

   Matthew shouted.

  Peggy reluctantly came out of the kitchen. She glanced at Samantha, snorted again, and brought a cup of cold coffee from the kitchen.

   At this time.

  The bell rang again outside the house.

   "Sorry, excuse me."

  Matthew had to go to open the door first.

  This time it was indeed Sif standing outside the fence.

  She no longer wore the dark red cloak today, but changed into a white dress.

  She is tall, with slender thighs, her legs are close together, her hands are behind her back, and she has a sweet smile, giving people a feeling of healing.

   "Good evening, Matthew!"

   Sif greeted with a smile.

  Matthew smiled back:

"Good evening."

   "Well, why don't you come in and talk first?"

   As he spoke, he stepped aside halfway.

  Sif took half a step forward.

   is in the process.

  She turned around suddenly and looked at the alley opposite, with a look of helplessness on her face.

   "Wait for me, Matthew."

   She trotted over.

  In the shadow of the alley.

  Sif poked a section of the wall, and in the next second, a red blanket appeared on the wall.

  The blanket fell, and a middle-aged man with an embarrassed expression appeared in front of her.

   "Father, you promised me not to interfere with my freedom."

  Sif said angrily.

   Old Lei Jia blushed, and quickly retorted:

   "But you also promised that I will pay attention to my own safety!"

  Sif stared wide-eyed:

   "But I'm going to Matthew's house, isn't it a dangerous place?!"

  Rega made a bitter face, thinking to himself, that might be the most dangerous place in Rolling Stone Town!

  But he dared not say that to Sif.

  In the many previous quarrels and conversations with his daughter, they did have an agreement, and he was the first party to violate it, which cannot be justified.

  So he talked about it, and only then did he coax Sif's dissatisfaction.

   "I promise you, I will leave now."

   At the end.

  Rega reluctantly touched Sif's head.

  Under the gaze of the latter, he turned and left the block.

   Yet less than five minutes later.

  He shot back!

  …

   "Damn Necromancer!"

  Rega gritted his teeth in hatred, but it was really inconvenient to do something to Matthew.

  He watched Sif's back and Matthew's smiling face disappear behind the door, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart.

   "No! Can't just wait outside like this! I have to see what they are doing! Living room, they are in the living room, I have to find a place where I can see the living room!"

  Rega's gaze frantically searched around.

soon.

  He found a red roof with a tall chimney.

  Rega was agile and jumped up with a single vertical leap.

  He took two steps up, with a happy expression on his face:

   "Sure enough, you can see Matthew's living room from here!"

   It's just that the roof slopes up on both sides.

   Want to see more clearly.

  He still has to go up.

  So he stepped forward by touching the bricks and stones.

   All the way up to the roof ridge.

suddenly.

  He bumped into a figure who was also sneaky and wild.

  The man's face was unwilling, and his eyes were fierce.

   When Rhaegar bumped into him, he was also staring at Matthew's living room intently!

  Rega froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and instantly became angry!

  At the moment he grabbed the wild man by the shoulder and asked:

   "Your daughter went in too?"

  …

The good news is that everyone in my family has gone down with their fever. The bad news is that I started it. My body temperature has been around 39 degrees for a day. It may be because I am Chuyang, the symptom point, and the next few days may still be 4K Klan. I will recover as soon as possible. Feel sorry.
