A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

 Chapter 390 Nightmare’s Fall and Beanna’s Choice

 …

Matthew looked at Tyrani's devastated look and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

 Taerani is actually a very rebellious elf woman.

She likes women, bullies the market, and has done many excessive things based on her position as General Wind Chaser.

　　I guess it gave Terraste a lot of headaches in the past.

 It can be done now.

 The situation between the two seems to have suddenly reversed—

The rebellious Tyrani was shocked to find that her father was ten thousand times more rebellious than herself!

Trast's behavior cannot even be described as rebellious. In the elven society, he is the enemy of the whole world and can cover the sky with one hand.

 And it seems so far.

 He has no intention of restraining himself.

It seems that Tyrani tried to dissuade Terraste, but the final result was not satisfactory.

 This situation.

 Would it remind Tyrani of a time when her father had tried to restrain her behavior, but failed?

But Matthew did not gloat about his misfortune for too long.

 The current situation of Terrani is the current situation of most wood elves in Jade Cangting.

 They certainly would not succumb to Tyrast's violence.

  Except for not bowing your head.

 There is nothing they can do.

Matthew stood there quietly, giving Tyrani a chance to breathe.

 The latter was sitting softly on the bed, his eyes looking dull and weak.

Matthew had never seen her look like this before.

　　This is probably the first time in his life that this Wind Chaser general, who has dominated the Jade Cangting for a long time, has encountered such a tragic setback.

 And the frustration came from his own father.

 He is so powerful that it is difficult to look directly at him, and even more difficult to muster the determination to fight against him.

Talani was obviously in despair and confusion.

after a long time.

 She just regained her breath.

 She looked up at Matthew:

 “Is there anything you can do to stop my father?”

Matthew answered truthfully:

  “It’s difficult.”

 “But I’m trying to figure it out.”

“First of all, I came to you to confirm Ms. Ai Lan’s situation.”

Talani shook her head weakly:

"I have no idea."

“I have been with Biana recently. I don’t dare to go to the Wind Chaser camp. I don’t know how to face them..."

"I went to see my father, but he seemed to be a different person. When I talked to him, I found that he didn't seem to be listening at all..."

“It was as if overnight he lost all patience.”

"He doesn't look too impatient on the surface, but I always feel like he is racing against time. I even suspect that he has some terminal illness - but there is no reason. He is a sword master and a high-ranking legend. If nothing unexpected happens, he will He can live at least two thousand years! What can defeat him?"

 Speaking of the back.

Talani seemed to be talking to herself.

 “Terminal illness?”

Matthew was slightly startled, and then thought that this was Tyrani's whim.

 He had also seen Terraste that day.

  The old elf man is in very good physical condition and can survive the death of most people in this world.

 Once a person is promoted to a legend, he or she will be immune to all common diseases and symptoms.

 It is impossible for Terraste to have a sudden change of mood due to physical illness.

 But for Tyrani.

Once this idea arises, it is like a drowning man grabbing a straw.

She suddenly stood up from the bed, her swollen eyes widened:

"No, he really may have some disease and wants to fulfill his wish before he dies, so he is so impatient!"

 “I have to go find him and ask him clearly!”

 “I must go find him…”

 As she said that, she wanted to rush out the door.

Matthew subconsciously wanted to stop Tyrani, but the latter instinctively wanted to make an aggressive move.

 Fortunately, Matthew's physical fitness is also good now.

 He turned sideways to avoid Telani's push and was planning his next move.

 At this time.

 A gentle voice sounded:

 “Nini, look into my eyes!”

That sentence seems to have magic power.

Talani turned her head seriously. At this moment, Beanna, who was standing by the bed, raised her right hand flat, and there was a topaz pendant in her palm.

 The pendant is slowly shaking in mid-air.

Talani’s eyes straightened.

"Look at my eyes and listen to my voice. The wind and clouds tell you that everything is fine. It's time for the moon and flowers to rest. It's time for us to sleep..."

Biana’s voice was as gentle as water.

That moment.

Matthew seemed to have returned to his infancy, with his mother's warm whispers in his ears as he lulled him to sleep.

 …

　　　　　Warning: Beanna is using the "Demi-artifact: Nightmare Pendant" and the "Calming Spell"!

You are about to undergo a drowsiness save. If you fail the save three times in a row, you will fall asleep (lasts from twenty minutes to four hours)."

 …

Why does Beanna have an extra semi-artifact in her hand?

 Such thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

However, he is not too worried. He believes that his willpower is strong enough and he can be exempted from the sleepiness judgment without the assistance of external objects!

 …

“Warning: Fail your first drowsiness save and you are about to fall asleep!

 Fail the second drowsiness save and you are about to fall asleep! "

 …

Matthew’s eyelids instantly became extremely heavy.

 At the critical moment.

 He pressed his chest hard, and the three divinities took effect simultaneously—

 Matthew’s brain suddenly woke up!

"so smart?"

 Matthew was quite surprised.

His spiritual power is not low to begin with, and after cannibalizing the spiritual origin of the warlock Lance, he has reached a legendary level.

  But even so.

 He actually failed to exempt the opponent from hypnosis? !

 He looked at it.

Biana's level is still around level 10. Her own strength is quite transparent and it is impossible for her to pose such a big danger to herself.

Then the key is the pendant in her hand!

 At this time.

Talani, who failed consecutive saves, slumped, tilted her head, and hit Biana's soft chest directly.

Biana was still whispering comfort.

Talani fell into a deep sleep, even drooling.

soon.

Biana's **** were wet.

She quickly glanced at Matthew, her face turned crimson.

 Matthew quickly looked away.

Beanna then moved Tyrani to the bed, and after making her lie down comfortably, the two of them carefully exited the room.

“Sorry, I can’t let Tyrani go find Mr. Terraste.”

 “This can be dangerous—for all of us.”

 As soon as you leave the door.

 Biana apologized to Matthew one after another.

Matthew looked at each other thoughtfully:

“That pendant just now was given to you by Terraste?”

Biana bit her lip, and then nodded quickly:

"The night Terraste returned to Jade Cangting, he was probably the first one to find me. He gave me this pendant and how to use the calming spell, and told me to use this to control Terrani when necessary. Take action, otherwise unforeseen things will happen.”

“I didn’t understand what he was talking about at first.” “It wasn’t until I woke up the next morning, when people were spreading rumors about the murder in the city, that I vaguely realized Mr. Terraste’s intention.”

 Speaking of which.

 She sighed with a wry smile:

"I can actually understand what he did, but I dare not and don't want to go against his will. For us ordinary people, he... is like a god."

Feel the anxious look in Beanna's eyes.

Matthew immediately spoke to comfort him:

"You did the right thing. If Tyrani is allowed to go to Terrast, it may only intensify the conflict."

"And you are not the only one who will feel fearful and powerless when facing Terrast. I am actually not much better."

 A look of relief quickly flashed across Beanna's face.

 But she still lowered her head, seeming to feel very guilty about helping Terraste.

Matthew thought for a while:

“For the time being, you and Tyrani should go to my mage camp to stay.”

“That should be the safest place in Jade Cangting at present. As long as Tyrast doesn’t completely relax, he will not attack the alliance’s camp.”

Unexpectedly, Biana lowered her head, and the uneasiness on her face became more intense:

 “No, I can’t do that.”

Matthew said doubtfully:

 “Are you afraid of offending Terraste?”

Biana nodded. She hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage to say:

 “Mr. Terraste, he, he said he was willing to take me on as his disciple.”

Matthew suddenly realized:

“Is this what he used in exchange for you to control Terrani for him?”

Beanna said with some bitterness:

"Yes."

Matthew frowned:

 “But what about Tyrani?”

"Have you ever thought about what she would think of you if she knew about this?"

“Didn’t you tell me before that although she is very weird, she is actually a very good person and suitable for being friends?”

 The guilt on Beanna's face became even stronger.

 But she still bit her lip and said:

“I know that if I do this, I may lose my friend Terrani, and I may also regret the many wood elves who have helped me.”

 “But that’s life, isn’t it?”

As she spoke, she raised her head with red eyes:

 “I always have to make a choice.”

Matthew looked up and down at the beautiful human girl in front of him.

At this moment he realized that he had overlooked many things about Biana.

 Compared to when I first came to Jade Cangting a year ago.

 She has really changed a lot.

“Mr. Terraste did go too far, but I don’t care about that.”

Biana's speaking speed became extremely fast:

“I didn’t know until two months ago that the original reason why my father was willing to spend a lot of money to send me here to learn the elf dance and sword chanting skills was to marry me to the lord of the High Leaf Territory—

 That one was known in the village for his love of elven arts.

 It’s a pity that after the black dragon disaster.

 The lord family of Highleaf Territory was in ruins.

 Later.

 He planned to marry me to the lord of Red Earth Mountain.

 As you know it is.

 Not long after, the original lords and nobles of Red Earth Mountain also lost power.

 But for a big and shrewd businessman like my father.

 His investments rarely lose money.

 He knew very well that many nobles in the south admired the elven culture.

 As long as his daughter becomes a rare human sword chanter and masters the dance that only elves can do.

 Then it must be a hot commodity in the marriage market.

 He originally planned to let me study here for two years.

 But now things have changed.

I guess it won’t be long before he finds an excuse to write a letter urging me to go back..."

Matthew looked at her quietly:

"How did you know?"

Beanna lowered her head and said:

“My brother wrote to me and told me that he and I have had a good relationship since childhood. He only found out about his father’s plan when he overheard his parents’ conversation in the middle of the night.”

“The most important thing is that I can’t go back—at least not now.”

 In Matthew's slightly puzzled eyes.

Biana said very shamefully and angrily:

 “The current situation is that my father plans to marry me to...Uncle Rhaegar!”

 Speaking of the last noun.

Her expression was extremely shy, and her speech became light and floating.

 Matthew didn’t hear it clearly at first.

It was only later that I realized:

 “Who are you talking about? Rhaegar?”

 Biana nodded heavily, her neck and ears turning completely red.

After hearing this, Matthew felt it was ridiculous and thought that Beanna's father was dreaming.

 But it took a while.

 He was not so sure again.

"I heard that many people are now persuading Uncle Rhaegar to leave more heirs. There are many unscrupulous women who find a reason to run to Uncle Rhaegar's house. They all want to give him children, especially It’s a son.”

“I don’t want to be that kind of woman, I can’t imagine how I would face Sif in that situation…”

 It seems that the most shameful thing has been said.

Biana became much calmer.

She confided to Matthew in a low voice about her family situation -

 Originally, Matthew only knew that Beanna was born into a wealthy family, and her father was also a prominent businessman in Rolling Stone Town.

 He didn’t know until today.

It turns out that Beanna's father, like Ms. Liz and others, are Rhaegar's cronies brought from the Blood Banner Kingdom.

Biana's father was deeply trusted by Rhaegar and ran most of the food industries in Rolling Stone Town, and was also involved in handicrafts, textiles and some arms procurement.

besides.

Biana also has very light tiefling blood.

These factors are enough for the family behind her to become the powerful people of the Rolling Stone Kingdom in the future.

to be honest.

If Rhaegar really wanted to have another son, or wanted to renew his marriage, it seems that Banna's father would have no problem marrying his daughter to him...

 “You could have told me about this kind of thing earlier.”

 Matthew blinked:

 “I can help.”

Biana smiled gratefully, her eyes shining with a strange light:

“But I can’t always ask you to help me, right?”

"Actually, I don't blame my father. He just made the choice that was best for the family and himself out of his own position."

"He gave me very generous conditions. I had no worries about food and clothing since I was a child. I lived a happier life than most of my peers. I also had the opportunity to study in Jade Cangting. This is already a very luxurious condition, so I don't I will complain or blame him.”

 “But it’s impossible for me to do exactly what he wants.”

 “I don’t want to rely on anyone else anymore—whether it’s my father or you, Matthew.”

Matthew frowned:

 “So you chose to follow Terraste?”

 Beanna said solemnly:

 “He promised to teach me the true way of singing the sword.”

“He promised to give me the strength to protect myself and even gain a foothold in this world.”

"This is enough."

 While speaking.

Biana's eyes became brighter, and there was an indescribable flavor in her eyes when she looked at Matthew:

“I don’t really like wielding swords and guns that much, but power is a fascinating thing, isn’t it?”

“You see, so many elves are against Mr. Terraste, but there is nothing they can do against him.”

“I don’t want to be like Mr. Terraste, but I hope to be able to rely on my own strength to survive.”

“For me, this is the best opportunity. Even if I lose Tyrani as a friend, I will do this.”

Matthew sighed softly:

“Of course it’s not wrong to pursue power. I am also on the road to pursuing power.”

"But Terraste's situation is so extreme that I suspect he has lost control..."

Unexpectedly, Biana unexpectedly interrupted Matthew:

 “But you like the power to be so powerful that you can’t control it, don’t you?”

Matthew looked at her confused.

Biana stared at him with bright eyes:

"You like Sif because she can easily tear apart those terrible monsters, right?"

"I heard that there is a type of people who will not fall in love with ordinary girls easily. They will only fall in love with women who have strong power, because the latter make them feel dangerous, and the aura of danger is actually the biggest difference between men and women. A source of excitement and attraction.”

 “Are you like that, Matthew?”

Today is also unlucky. The screencasting software crashed as I wrote, which affected my writing, so I can only keep it short. Sorry! (My current way of writing is to use screen projection software to project iFlytek on my mobile phone onto the computer screen, using the mobile phone as an input device and the screen as a monitor. Only in this way can I write more fluently without hurting my eyes. Perform voice input, and at the same time, my hands can assist on the keyboard. Problems in any part of this solution will affect the code word status, but there is no way. This is the best solution I can find when my hands and throat are disabled. Yes, sigh)
