A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

  Chapter 80 Why am I still upgrading?

  …

"Why?"

  Matthew asked that voice in his heart.

   However, the other party did not answer for a long time.

  Matthew looked up at Su Ya, who was sitting on the throne with a sacred expression, as if neither the mission issued by Xio Yi nor the voice in Matthew's heart had anything to do with her.

   "What is this? Are you still holding the airs of the soul of the rainforest?"

  Matthew suddenly laughed in his heart:

   "Because I couldn't bear the shame to ask someone to expel the Dragon Lich Cult, so I simply handed over the entrusted matter to the people of the Seven Saints Alliance?"

  He sees clearly.

  Xiuyi must be a member of the Seven Saints Alliance, but he clearly mentioned that his task is to "monitor Blinken", and the surveillance task cannot be done in a hurry.

  According to Xiu Yi, he couldn't contact the alliance at this time, so he had no reason to make his own claim.

   In this way, the real client of this task is ready to be revealed.

  When I thought about it.

   There was a hint of joking on Matthew's smiling face.

   But he soon stopped laughing—

  Because that little foot that had been rubbing and rubbing suddenly kicked him!

   And the location is quite deadly!

  At that time, Matthew almost hissed, and subconsciously rubbed his thighs with his hands.

   Next second.

  Matthew met Bobo's suspicious eyes:

   "Are you in a daze? Hurry up and talk about your opinions, we have already expressed our views."

  Matthew coughed, and looked at Xio apologetically:

   "Sorry, I was really distracted just now, what did you all say?"

  Bobo was dissatisfied:

"Lumiere and I both decided to take over his commission. People from the Dragon Cult should go to **** sooner or later, but at the same time, we also want to hear your opinion. After all, in terms of cunning and cunning, we are probably not as good as undead Mage."

   Lumière nodded in agreement with Bobo.

   Both looked at Matthew.

  The latter pondered immediately:

   "I need more information. The existing information does not allow me to make a judgment. Blinken is a level 20 necromancer. He is too dangerous."

  Xiuyi immediately said:

"In fact, that's just the level on the surface. Blinken has been squeezed by the book of blasphemy for a long time, and his strength has dropped a lot. Now he has to spend part of his power to suppress that demigod at all times, so his The real combat power is only around level 18."

   "If you feel that tracking Blinken is also a difficult task, I can provide a little help in this regard. This is my job."

   As he spoke, he took out a chubby, chubby elf from the small cloth pocket on his back waist, then knelt down on one knee, and placed the elf on the ground.

   "I don't know, I don't know!"

   Immediately after the little elf landed, he showed a pitiful expression.

  Its skin is light blue, with water and ripples slowly flowing on it.

   "Good boy, I don't know, just give it a shot, it won't hurt very much."

  Xiu said softly.

  The little elf immediately hugged his eyes with his hands, but his hands were too short, and he could only cover the corners of his eyes. The rest of his eyes were watery, which looked pitiful.

  Xiu raised his right palm and slapped the elf on the forehead. At the same time, he shouted the name of the priest of the Dragon Cult:

   "Blinken!"

Snapped!

  The elf was shattered by this slap, and its body turned into a huge pool of water.

  In the center of the water stain, a clear picture quickly appeared—

  …

  The brilliance of the morning sun penetrated the dense rainforest and hit the huge banana leaves. A few crystal clear dewdrops could be seen rolling back and forth on the leaves.

  Suddenly, a big hand impatiently pushed away the banana leaf, and the dew immediately rolled down from the edge.

  The angle of view moved up quickly, and then looked down at the sparse team below with a condescending attitude.

   Those are Dragon Worshipers one after another!

Looking down from this angle, the composition of the team can be seen at a glance. The one in the front is the black-robed man Blinken, followed by four well-equipped dragon blood warriors, followed by more than twenty people in brown robes. of the Dragon Cultists.

  The members of the fourth echelon are all earth fire dragons, and the one who drives them away is a dragon blood warrior at the end.

  The whole marching team can be described as methodical when crossing the rainforest.

  Even the most trouble-prone earth fire dragon seems extremely spiritual.

   It can be seen that Blinken has worked hard in team management.

while walking.

  The man in black suddenly raised a hand:

"stop!"

  A team of nearly 200 units was in the complex terrain of the rainforest, but with Blinken's order, each unit stopped in place within two seconds!

  Matthew saw a ground fire dragon sinking into the mud because of sudden braking.

   Even so, it remained motionless, allowing the mud to gradually submerge its obese body.

   Blinken looked around and said coldly:

   "Rest on the spot for 8 minutes, and then prepare for battle."

   As he spoke, he rushed to the fire dragon and pulled it out of the mud!

   "Too careless!"

  Blinken seemed to reprimand harshly, but in the next second he threw a "cleaning spell" on Fire Dragon.

  Fire Dragon let out a howl, lying on the ground and kissing Blinken's vamp lightly.

  The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

   Everyone rested in place.

   Only Blinken himself kept walking back and forth, his eyes sometimes looking around and sometimes sweeping across the crowd.

suddenly.

  His eyes froze on a Dragon Worshiper for three seconds, and then walked towards him quickly.

  The Dragon Worshiper suddenly panicked.

  He stood up from the ground, and just about to say something, Blinken had already grabbed his collar.

   Next second.

  Blinken carefully tidied up the folds of his neckline, and fine-tuned the inclination angle of the Dragon Cult emblem on his chest.

   "Remember, no matter how big the crisis is, people must not panic and forget to take care of their appearance. This is the biggest difference between us as humans and animals."

   "Next time if I still find that you still have a problem with the angle of wearing the badge, I will immediately expel you from Dragon Worship!"

  The believer opened his mouth excitedly:

   "Master Blinken, I, I..."

   After Blinken straightened his appearance for him, he patted him on the shoulder again:

   "Stop talking, work hard."

   After speaking, he walked away quickly, and turned his gaze to other places.

A few minutes later.

   Blinken led the team to set off again.

  The angle of view failed to keep up this time, but watched them leave the woods and came to a relatively open highland.

  …

   On the ground, the water stains slowly collected.

   From the beginning, a big beach gradually turned into a small ball, and in the end, all the water stains re-merged into a round meat ball.

   "I don't know, I don't know!"

  The elf put her hands on her hips angrily, as if scolding Xiuyi.

  Having been prepared for a long time, Xio Yi immediately took out a lead weight from his lower back and handed it over.

  The elf grabbed the lead and swallowed it raw.

   grunt.

  A lump of lead appeared in its translucent stomach, bubbles burst out one by one, the elf hiccupped contentedly, and the lump of lead also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   "I don't know" is a scout elf, but its scouting method is a bit tragic. "

  Xiu smiled shyly, and put the elf away.

  Matthew nodded. The pictures just now were indeed very clear, and Blinken, who was a quasi-legendary, hadn't noticed it. This shows that the elf's detection ability is very good.

  He extracted three pieces of information from the paragraph just now.

First, Blinken does have a strong ability to lead the team. The cubs of the evil camp are often difficult to train, but he can make every subordinate follow orders obediently. Of course, there are reasons for his strength. But Blinken's personal charisma and governance skills also account for a large proportion.

  The underground coalition forces of the Scourge Religion were nothing more than a group of wandering soldiers in front of Blinken's troops, not worth mentioning.

  Secondly, Blinken seems to have a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is no wonder that he was so angry at Su Ya's slip of the tongue when he was evacuating the Black Banyan Dreamland.

  Thirdly, after Blinken evacuated the Black Banyan Dreamland, the direction of his march seemed familiar. Matthew thought for a while, and confirmed that the highland they were about to arrive was exactly the place where he had fought side by side with the old Jitou and Lorraine before.

   That's the edge of Brine Marsh.

   Judging by his posture, it seems that he is going to go deep into the Bitterwater Swamp. If Matthew hadn't known that the former owner of the swamp was named Dania, otherwise he would have really connected Blinken with the legendary necromancer.

   "What is the use of the green branch?"

  Matthew asked Su Ya.

  Su Ya said calmly:

"It is one of the 'roots' of the rainforest. With it, Dragon Worshipers can come and go freely in the rainforest to a certain extent, reducing the risk of encountering poisonous insects and beasts. At the same time, it is also a natural god. It's a dream thing for druids, rangers, and spirits of nature."

  Matthew thought for a while:

   "So Blinken snatched the green branch in order to fight a protracted battle in the rainforest. He didn't intend to do it once and for all, or he didn't have the ability to do it once and for all."

  Xiu echoed:

"What you said is very reasonable. Blinken is a very intelligent person. He never does impulsive things. This time rushing into the rainforest is the most impulsive thing I have ever seen him do, but he handled it He’s also well-organized and organized. To be honest, if he wasn’t an enemy of the Alliance, I would have kind of wanted to make friends with him.”

  Matthew nodded slightly.

   It is not easy for Blinken to make the watchers admire him from the bottom of his heart.

  This kind of brave and strategic enemy is the most troublesome, and Matthew is not willing to be his enemy unless it is absolutely necessary.

"My suggestion is that we can track down Blinken and try to prevent him from destroying the rainforest ecology. If there is a chance, I am even willing to start negotiations with him. It is the best way to persuade him to leave the rainforest without using force. Good option."

  Matthew explained seriously:

  "A mage at level 20 is already powerful. Blinken once worked in the Seven Saints Alliance, but then defected alone and joined the Dragon Cult. His background is inestimable.

   It's not that I lack the courage to fight, but I don't want anyone present to make any mistakes.

   Of course, if the planned results are still not achieved after negotiating with him, the use of force is also an option.

  I believe that with our strength and cooperation, killing him is by no means impossible. "

  Xiu thought for a while:

   "But how are you going to persuade him? Although Blinken is very smart, he is also very stubborn. He has already determined that the Tomb of the Dragon is real, and he will never give up."

  Matthew asked rhetorically:

   "Don't you think it's strange? I mean the news about the Dragon's Tomb and the Wind and Sand Thieves."

  Xiu was stunned for a moment, then became serious:

"Please advise."

  Matthew turned to look at Bobo:

   "I remember that Yu Lian told us that day that civil strife broke out recently among the Wind and Sand Thieves Group. The two sides kept fighting inside and outside the city. As a result, they got the wrong target several times, and the dead were all outsiders, right?"

  Bobo nodded vigorously:

   "So what?"

  Matthew chuckled lightly:

   "The thieves group mistakenly assassinated the target? Are you kidding me!"

   "If they are knights, warriors, or warriors, I can understand them all, but I can't understand the thieves group that is famous for intelligence investigation and precise assassination!"

  Bobo suddenly realized:

   "So that big fat guy lied to us!"

  Xiu coughed when he heard the words:

   "Well, he probably didn't lie to you. I have also verified this information. It is true. The places where the two sides exchanged fire were both inside and outside of Cordo City. It is true that most of the dead were outsiders who were accidentally involved."

  Matthew directly gave the conclusion:

"I think that the internal turmoil of the Wind and Sand Thieves Group may be acting. Yu Lian once told me that besides me, he also sold the news of the undersea tomb to another tomb robber, which means that someone may be interested in that tomb. The undersea tomb was interested, but he didn't dare to risk himself, so he found the Wind and Sand Thieves to perform such a play, with the ultimate goal of encouraging the Dragon Sect to explore the way first.

  Of course, this is just one of the guesses. There are many real situations, and my guesses also have many immature places.

  For example, if the Dragon Worship Cult is strong enough to directly take down the undersea tomb, the mastermind behind the scenes may have nothing to gain. This is not in line with common sense.

  For example, the possibility that Blinken, who is so smart, will be obediently hooked by the internal turmoil of the Wind and Sand Thieves Group is also doubtful.

  In short, there are indeed many loopholes in this matter. We have not yet found out the truth, but we can use these to negotiate with Blinken first.

   Judging from the fact that he evacuated the black banyan dreamland in time after he snatched the green branch, he is a rational guy.

  As long as he is rational, no matter how evil he is, he can still negotiate. "

   After saying this, Matthew was a little thirsty, so he picked a leaf and twisted it into a funnel shape, rubbed himself a glass of water, and asked everyone while drinking:

   "Do you guys have any ideas?"

  Su Ya rested her chin and looked at Matthew with relish, and by the way, changed her foot and crossed her leg.

   Lumiere shook his head silently.

  Bobo seems to have entered a shutdown state.

   Only Xiu Yi exclaimed:

   "Your thinking is really clear, and you can grasp so many key points at once. I think you are more qualified for spy work than me! Why didn't you join the Seven Saints Alliance with such an excellent mage?"

  Matthew smiled modestly:

   "If you switch to another mage, you may be able to analyze it more thoroughly than me."

   Several people discussed for a while.

  In the end, even Su Ya acquiesced to Matthew's plan.

   Matthew asked the others to rest for a while.

  I said that I need to find a place to write two letters.

  Although he has confidence in his plan, he is also worried that he is too young and inexperienced, and the plan he made may have hidden dangers.

  So he planned to write to ask the experienced bigwigs.

  Originally, Archmage Ronan was the best consultant.

  It's a pity that he is not here now, so Matthew is going to write to Zeller, hoping that several seniors including Zeller, Richard, and Li Weiqi can give him some advice.

  The other letter was intended to be written to Peggy. Although the advanced stage has been completed, it is obviously not Matthew's style to leave immediately without worrying about the matters of the Dragon Lich.

   In this way, he may stay in the South for more than a month, and many things need to be re-advised.

   Go through the content to be written in my mind.

  Matthew took out the letter paper and pen from the package, and looked up to find the location.

   At this moment, Su Ya's voice sounded in his ear:

"follow me."

   Then Matthew saw a beautiful figure quickly disappear in the woods on the left.

  He got up calmly and walked in that direction.

  But Matthew didn't know.

   This scene still fell into the eyes of Bobo and Lumiere, who had long noticed his abnormality.

  The two looked at each other, and then looked at the throne again, but there is no trace of the soul of the rain forest on the throne at this time?

   Lumiere looked complicated and did not speak.

  Bobo suddenly asked:

   "If humans and the soul of nature mate, will she give birth to a human or a soul of nature?"

   Lumiere was in a daze at the time:

   "Um, they shouldn't have reached this level yet, right?"

  Bobo looked at him with contempt:

   "Obviously exceeded."

   Lumière was embarrassed to scratch his head:

   "Sorry, this question is beyond my cognition, I really don't know what will happen, after all, I'm just a country bumpkin who hasn't been out of the rainforest much."

  Bobo said seriously:

   "Don't say that."

   Lumiere's heart warmed.

   Next second.

  But listen to Bobo seriously:

   "The bumpkin may have more knowledge than you!"

   Lumière's face froze.

   "Here, I'll give you one, don't be dejected anymore."

  Bobo randomly found a colored candy and an alarm clock from the package. She put the alarm clock on the ground, then tapped the button on the top, and the hands of the alarm clock moved slowly.

   Then she handed the colored candy to Lumière:

   "Please eat "smart candy", you will become smarter if you eat it. "

   Lumiere gratefully accepted the candy, but he didn't eat it, but put it in his chest pocket.

   After finishing all this, Bobo began to polish her armor silently.

   Lumière pointed to the alarm clock on the ground and asked:

   "What are you doing?"

   "Oh, time Matthew."

  Bobo casually said:

   "Don't you wonder how long it takes him to—I mean, write letters?"

  …

  In the small woods.

  Su Ya casually arranged a layer of obscurity enchantment.

  She gracefully walked to a round stump and stopped, looking back at Matthew:

   "You can write letters here."

   "But before I do that, I have to ask you—why didn't you follow my advice?!"

  Her expression became stern and fierce, as if the irascible spirit of the rainforest had returned.

  Matthew said calmly:

   "There must always be someone to deal with the matter of the Dragon Worship."

  Su Ya said coldly:

   "Lumiere can get rid of him."

  Matthew shook his head and said:

   "It's too dangerous, I can't let him go alone."

  Su Ya paced back and forth angrily with a sullen face.

  A moment later, she suddenly let out a low sigh, and the anger on her face disappeared, replaced by a deep sorrow.

  She slowly sat on the stump with her legs together.

   "I am very weak now. The book of blasphemy has polluted the root of the black banyan dream. I need to devote a lot of energy to purify it, not to mention that I have to promote so many souls of nature."

   "I need protection, Matthew."

   This is the first time Matthew saw the meaning of pleading in Su Ya's eyes.

  Matthew pondered:

   "If it's just protection, Lumiere or others are fine too."

"Can't."

  Su Ya said decisively:

   "I don't trust him."

  Matthew was stunned for a moment. He had thought about various reasons why Su Ya looked at him differently, but he didn't expect the other party to say such a reason.

   "I myself came from fighting in the rainforest, so I know exactly what is carved in the blood of every creature here. I distrust every one of them equally, including your partner Lumière."

  Su Ya said coldly.

  Matthew didn't refute, but was just thinking about whether the words were correct or not.

   "I'm just the soul of the rainforest, not the **** of the rainforest."

  Su Ya said softly:

   "Do you think I like to pretend to be grumpy every day?

  But if I don’t do this, they will immediately feel that I am weak, and that they have an opportunity to take advantage of.

  I will be overthrown and destroyed in an instant!

   Today, the Dragon Sect attacked the Black Banyan Dreamland. I summoned many animals, but I didn’t summon the spotted giant crocodile. Do you know why?

  I'm afraid it will eat me when it comes in!

  Trust me, it won't miss this opportunity.

   Not only it, but also Tyrannosaurus and Aeolian pterosaur. Every beast in the rain forest cherishes the opportunity to climb up.

  So I can only feel safe when they are promoted to Beasts after they die.

  Just because I was born surrounded by wolves!

   Matthew.

   Can you understand this feeling? "

  Matthew looked over.

  Su Ya's expression was still stubborn, but there were tears in her eyes.

   "Lumière should not be that kind of person."

   Matthew Road.

  Su Ya smiled:

   "Look, you used 'should', which means you've been convinced by me."

   Matthew was noncommittal.

   "Then why do you trust me?"

he asks.

   "Because you come from the civilized world, you also have the approval of the oak forest."

  Su Ya said softly:

   "The oak forest is not a good thing, but she has always been very accurate in seeing people—even if the oak forest related to you has not been officially promoted to the soul of nature, I still firmly believe in this."

  After listening, Matthew probably understood Su Ya's current situation.

   It's just that he still looks apologetic:

   "But I can't let them go by themselves, I don't worry about their safety."

  Su Ya looked at him resentfully:

   "So you are assured of my safety?"

  Matthew scratched his head:

   "At most, I'll leave you a bone dragon?"

"roll!"

  Su Ya suddenly changed her face:

   "Who wants your bone dragon, fetid necromancer!

   You and your summons should be kept far away from me!

  I don't want your protection! "

  Matthew raised his eyebrows. He realized Su Ya's little trick, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled playfully:

   "It's not a good thing to lose your temper with the soul of the rainforest now. After all, you have exposed your weakness."

  Su Ya slapped the tree stump between her legs with her right hand not to be outdone:

"come!

   Come here if you have the ability!

   Don't you want to write a letter?

  I just sat here and couldn’t leave.

   Either you write somewhere else.

   Either you take me from here.

  If it’s a man, you choose one…”

   Matthew rushed over immediately after hearing the words.

  After some tossing.

  He successfully subdued Su Ya from an extremely tricky angle.

  Su Ya was half-knelt in front of the tree stump, her face full of disbelief.

  Matthew said leisurely:

   "It's all right now, I dictate and you write for me."

   As he spoke, he slapped the letter paper and quill on the tree stump.

  Su Ya suddenly screamed:

   "Are you still a man?"

  Matthew said calmly:

   "Write or not?"

  Su Ya gave up on herself and said:

   "Write! I write! Let go!"

  Matthew let go of her hand a little defensively, but she really grabbed the quill and letter paper.

"explain."

  Su Ya suppressed her anger and said.

  Matthew cleared his throat:

   "Dear Zeller..."

"Honey?!!"

  Su Ya raised her head and almost dropped her pen.

  Matthew directly pressed her head down:

   "You write yours, don't ask too much."

  Su Ya snorted softly, blushed slightly, and began to write obediently.

  …

  「Hint: The favorability of the soul of the rainforest +1+1+1...」

  …

   Matthew looked at it and smiled slightly.

  The two letters were written quickly.

  Matthew quickly left the dreamland of the black banyan tree, summoned Ella from the Moon Obscure Forest, who was resting for a long time, and asked her to bring the two letters back to Rolling Stone Town.

   Then he recuperated in the black banyan dreamland for a while.

After one hour.

   Just as the group was about to set off to negotiate with Blinken.

   Matthew suddenly had such a piece of news that surprised him.

  …

"Reminder: Since you have successfully completed the advanced stage, the power restriction of your contracted summon (Tauren skeleton) will be passively released within 24 hours. more power."

  …

   "Is there such a thing? I actually limited Peggy's strength? Why didn't we know when we signed the contract?"

  Matthew froze for a moment.

  He didn't hesitate.

   Directly choose manual release!

  …

   A little earlier.

   Rolling Stone Town ushered in another morning.

  The sky is getting bright.

  On the farmer’s market street, pedestrians come and go. Housewives or old people with baskets stop and go in front of the stalls, saying good morning to each other, asking prices, and occasionally chatting.

  The street was full of voices.

On the corner of    Street, at a stall selling white radish.

  The owner of the stall, Mary, was cleaning up the vegetable stall. Suddenly, her eyes blurred, and the two white radishes disappeared out of thin air!

   Ding Dong!

   A few loose coins followed and landed on the booth.

  Mary took the money without any surprise, and turned her head to her husband who was brushing the donkey cart:

   "The invisible man came to buy white radish today!"

  The husband asked in a daze:

   "Aren't our white radishes always delicious?"

  Mary shook her head and said:

   "He bought it once two years ago, but he hasn't bought it since then. He probably doesn't like to eat it. Maybe there are guests at the Invisible Man's house today. The guests like to eat, so he bought it."

  The husband put down the brush in his hand, hugged Mary's bucket waist from behind and praised:

   "You're so smart!"

  Mary was complacent for a while, then as if she remembered something, she said seriously:

   "So don't take chances. I heard that you got a little close to that **** Jenny recently. If you get caught, hmph!"

  The husband trembled and repeatedly said no.

  Mary kissed him contentedly.

  The sun gradually rises.

   Not long.

  A tall shadow appeared in the alley of the next street.

  Peggy is carrying a vegetable basket, counting the dishes purchased today as if talking to herself:

   "White radish, carrot, beef, ox eye, beef liver..."

   "The recipe that Sif said should be based on these ingredients."

   Not long.

  She returned home briskly, only to find that the kitchen was already on fire. She walked over and saw that Sif, who stayed overnight last night, was cooking a pot of delicious soup!

   Peggy said curiously:

   "What soup are you making? Baby."

  Sev pulled up the chef's skirt which was of unknown size, held up the spoon, and smiled back:

   "I made soup with the leftover fish jelly and mushrooms from last night. By the way, didn't I always say that I want to try to make dishes that can be tasted by undead?"

   "I added something special to the soup today, do you want to try it?"

   said.

  She served Peggy a bowl of soup.

   Peggy took the soup, regardless of how hot it was, and stuffed it directly into her chin.

   is different from Ah Bing.

  The hot soup flowed through her neck, before it leaked or dripped out, it was instantly evaporated by her soul fire!

"Forehead…"

  She also burped like a human.

   "The soup is good, but unfortunately I still can't taste it."

   Peggy looked at Sif's disappointed eyes, and patted the **** the shoulder:

   "Don't lose heart, baby, you're already doing great."

   "When Matthew comes back, your craftsmanship will amaze him, hahaha, I can't wait to see that scene."

   Then the next second.

  Sif suddenly widened her eyes.

   Peggy has not realized what happened:

   "What's the matter, Sif?"

  Sif pointed to Peggy's chest and said:

   "You were there just now, it lit up for a while, and then you seem to be completely different."

   Peggy looked down.

  I found a bright white light flashing on my chest!

   "I'm about to upgrade!"

  Peggy was overjoyed:

   "I haven't leveled up since I followed Matthew that bad guy. What's going on today? I can feel the surging power!"

   "Wait, is it because of this bowl of soup?"

  Sif waved her hand, showing that she didn't know anything.

  Peggy just wanted to fill another bowl.

   can be suddenly.

  Her chest glowed white again!

   "This bowl of soup of yours has such a powerful effect that it can make me go up two levels in a row?"

   Peggy exclaimed.

  Sif was also shocked.

  The two looked at each other, neither knowing what to say.

   After a while.

   Peggy's body had two white lights in succession!

   "Why am I still upgrading!?"

   Peggy grabbed Sif's shoulder in ecstasy:

   "Son, we may have discovered a big secret!"

   "That's your fish jelly mushroom soup, which can quickly upgrade the undead!"

   "We got rich baby!"

   "I have to share this good news with stingy Matthew, oh, Matthew is not here... forget about him, I will upgrade secretly, and give him a surprise later!"

   She caroused for a while between the kitchen and the living room.

  Suddenly heard someone knocking on the door politely:

   "Excuse me, is Peggy at home?"

  Sif opened the door and took a look.

  Outside is an owl.

  …
