The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 498 Soul Copper Coin

…

Faced with this question.

Sif snorted first, then said in a very strange tone:

"He is the man I love most in my life!"

Matthew was slightly surprised.

Then his heart skipped a beat, and a trace of disbelief appeared on his face:

"No way..."

"He..."

However, his words were suddenly interrupted by Sif:

"If you don't let me go, the dream stone that I worked so hard to take out will fall into the hands of that monster captain?"

Dream stone?

Matthew looked inquiring.

Sif glared at him and said bitterly:

"Do you have to get involved in everything?"

Matthew smiled:

"You know my personality and temper very well."

Sif gritted her teeth and said:

"Of course."

"On the surface, I look friendly, but in fact, I am more stubborn and domineering than anyone else!"

"You must make others follow your ideas, right?"

Matthew blinked:

"You can also try to convince me instead of venting your emotions here."

Sif looked around again:

"Is this Paradise Lost?"

"I really shouldn't have entered this space with you."

Matthew smiled but said nothing.

In Paradise Lost.

He has supreme authority and power.

Even if Sif activated the blood of Batto, she might still have some power to fight back when facing Matthew outside, but in Paradise Lost, Matthew definitely has the final say.

If possible.

He can even use ten thousand ways to tie her up until she surrenders obediently.

Of course.

Matthew will not do this easily.

A few seconds passed.

Sif seemed to have accepted the current situation of being controlled by others, and quickly calmed down:

"The Dream Stone is the cornerstone prop for reconstructing natural dreams and reshaping the Star Spirit."

"With it, there is a chance to transform this planet into a part of Purgatory."

"This matter is related to the agreement between me and the Queen of Devil-"

"As long as I help her open up the Tenth Purgatory, she will return my father's soul to me..."

Matthew nodded.

Sif has indeed met Gracia.

The other party's actions were also instructed by the Queen of Devil, and this explanation is reasonable.

But he still has many doubts:

"Why you?"

"Does she take away Rega's soul just to let you conquer the planet Stuluk?"

This is incredible.

You know.

When Rega was just taken away, the blood of Baator in Sif's body had not been fully stimulated, and at most she could only be said to be a potential spellcaster.

And now.

Matthew felt a very terrible threat from Sif the first time he saw her.

This threat is not even lower than that of the God of Starry Night.

This surprised Matthew, and he also felt the horror of the Blood of Baator——

At the same time, he told himself.

Maybe I can no longer look at Sif with the same eyes as before...

"She chose not only me, but the entire Blood Flag Kingdom."

Sif said quickly:

"She said that this was a debt owed by Mephisto to her. Only when the Blood Flag Kingdom paid off this debt, she would return Rhaegar's soul and cancel the long-term declaration of war and wanted by Baator Purgatory against the Blood Flag Kingdom."

Matthew nodded again.

He knew that Mephisto was the ancestor of the Blood Flag Family. The latter was once Gracia's guard and lover, but betrayed the Queen of Devil while being ordered to find the Blood of Baator and on the road to war.

That upper devil was also the beginning of the thousand-year feud (Purgatory time) between the Blood Flag Kingdom and the Queen of Devil.

No wonder Sturuk was in chaos.

Old Morgan, Sif, and Lutitia died one after another, but the Baator Purgatory in the adjacent land did not move at all.

It turns out that Sif is working for Gracia.

This guy does nothing, and can reap the benefits of this level just by relying on Rega's soul?

Matthew thinks it's a bit ridiculous:

"This is a bit crazy."

"How could Lutetia agree?"

Sif did not hide:

"Because the Blood Flag Kingdom is also facing a crisis of life and death!"

"And a large part of the crisis facing the Blood Flag Kingdom is actually closely related to my father Rega."

"I only realized this after living in the Blood Flag Kingdom for a while-

In a sense, Rega is indeed not responsible enough.

Indeed.

He is very responsible for me, us, and a group of humans in Rolling Stone Town who have no blood relationship with him.

But it is another extreme for the Blood Flag Kingdom that gave birth to him and raised him.

He carried Rolling Stone Town on his shoulders.

But he forgot the Blood Flag Kingdom behind him.

Now I can understand Lutetia's dissatisfaction.

Maybe sometimes people are so strange..."

Speaking of this.

Sif looked at Matthew with a meaningful look.

Matthew could only smile bitterly.

This girl was hinting that he valued the Stone Kingdom more than Rhaegar.

This suggestion was not without reason.

In the past six months, Matthew was indeed too busy to deal with everything, and he could only start with the things in front of him.

He could understand Sif's resentment.

But if he had to do it all over again, Matthew would still stick to his choice.

"Rhaegar may think that the Blood Flag Kingdom is strong enough and can continue to prosper without his protection."

"But that's not the case."

"He doesn't know what kind of pressure Lutetia is carrying -

The invasion of the Abyss;

The relentless pressure from Stuluk;

And the pressure from the Queen of the Devil!"

"After the Great Tear, many of the border defenses of the Blood Flag Kingdom were in crisis, and several cities were directly penetrated by the Necron army from the planet Stuluk."

"A large number of demons died on the battlefield, but their sacrifice seemed meaningless, because it could not change the balance of the war at all."

"My aunt Lutetia was forced to shrink the defense line. Today, the territory of the Blood Flag Kingdom is only about half of its heyday, but even so, the enemy is still chasing it."

"According to the current trend, within three years at most, the Blood Flag Kingdom may be removed from Escana!"

"If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have joined me in doing this kind of thing."

"Now is our last chance, whether it's Rega's soul , or the survival of the Blood Flag Kingdom, all depend on the ownership of the Stuluk Protoss. "

"Only if we successfully open up the Tenth Purgatory can we obtain the favor of the Purgatory Will, gain more power in the Purgatory Mother River, and then stimulate the Purgatory frenzy in places like the Blood Flag Kingdom."

"Only in this way can the Blood Flag Kingdom continue to obtain the bargaining chips for the long-term struggle with Stuluk Industry."

"Matthew, do you understand now why I have been preventing you from joining the game?"

Sif stared at Matthew steadily:

"Because I know you too well!"

"You and Rega are extremely similar to some extent. You love peace and nature, are keen to protect the weak, insist on justice, disdain aggression, hate destruction and plunder..."

"If you find out what I am doing, you will definitely stop me, right?"

"Even if this matter is related to Rega's soul."

Matthew pursed his lips and said nothing.

Sif stared at him with burning eyes:

"Face the reality, Matthew."

"This world has long been full of wars, you can't take care of everything."

"The material world is not the only place affected by chaos. Many creatures in the outer world have their habitats destroyed by natural disasters. In this case, they leave their homes and just want to find a new place to live, but they will be regarded as natural invaders everywhere."

"The limited living space and the excess number of lives are full of irreconcilable contradictions."

"You can't make accurate coordination and judgment every time."

"Sooner or later, you will be bound by your sense of justice and then bear the pain of choice."

"But I'm different."

"I'm a devil, born to be the embodiment of evil, and I should have no burden when doing anything."

"So I won't bear the pain."

"I'll let others bear it for me."

"This is the real me!"

Looking at Sif, who seemed to have completely changed.

Matthew did not speak at length, but simply said:

"You are not a devil, you are a tiefling, and you also have human blood flowing in your body."

Sif snorted:

"Maybe."

"But human blood has not brought me anything useful so far."

"The older I get, the more I realize that I used to live in the carefree world that Rhaegar painstakingly created for me - the real world is definitely not like that."

"I am very grateful to Rhaegar, he gave me a perfect childhood and adolescence."

"However..."

"Everything will eventually change with time."

"Rhaegar can't maintain the world he created for a lifetime, he himself is now on the verge of death!"

"I want to save him, but I find that I can't do anything at all."

"I know that I can't rely on others, I can only make myself stronger."

"This is something everyone must learn in life."

"Now, I have learned it, and I have grown up."

Speaking of this.

Her tone became soft and sad instead.

Matthew saw deep affection and attachment in her eyes:

"I am no longer the little girl who only pesters you to tell historical stories."

"I have my own ideas, my own decisions, and my own will."

"I know you may care about me."

"I am grateful for that."

"But now, please let me go and let me complete my mission, okay?"

After that.

She turned her head and looked away with empty eyes.

However, Matthew's next words made her eyes light up, and then she slowly turned her head:

"If you think I am a hopelessly pedantic character from the beginning to the end, then I can only say that you are wrong, Sif. Blood Flag!"

"Of course I have my own principles and style of doing things, but I will also respect the opinions of other subjects."

"I am more willing to seek common ground with others than you think."

"Since I met Butterfly, I have continued to track until now, purely because I care about your experience."

"I never intended to hinder you, even if I don't agree with your plan."

"In terms of specific details, I just want to remind you--

Even if you successfully open up the Tenth Purgatory.

There is no guarantee that the Queen of Devil will really release Rega's soul.

Going back on one's words is not a rare ability for demons.

What's more, the Lord of Purgatory has lived for thousands of years..."

Matthew reminded with a serious face.

Sif frowned and said:

"Of course I have considered the possibility of Gracia going back on her word."

"But do you have a better idea besides this?"

Matthew asked directly:

"Did you meet Rhaegar when you made the agreement with Gracia?"

"Where is his soul hidden?"

Sif replied without hesitation:

"Rhaeja's soul was hidden by Gracia in a copper coin she carried with her."

"That kind of copper coin is very conspicuous, so she hangs it on her waist. But the trouble is, there are 108 similar coins -

It is said that it was a trophy obtained by Gracia from the ancient Su Kingdom.

It's called Soul Coin.

Soul copper coins have various incredible abilities, and storing souls is only one of them.

Each copper coin contains a soul that Gracia regards as a collectible.

If you want to steal it, just to be safe, you have to steal all the copper coins she has on her.

This is obviously an impossible task. "

After listening to this, Matthew showed a thoughtful expression:

"It may not be completely impossible."

"My original plan was to find some good thieves and go to Purgatory to steal Rhaegar's soul."

"In fact, I already have several reliable candidates in my mind..."

Sif sighed and said:

"But the matter has come to this, and I can't change my mind temporarily. What's more, my aunt has already bet on the fate of the Blood Flag Kingdom. The planet Stuluk can only become a part of purgatory, otherwise the future of the Blood Flag Kingdom will be Extremely miserable..."

Matthew said calmly:

"I said, I will not stop your plan. On the contrary, I am willing to accompany you and provide necessary help."

"But I have a prerequisite."

Sif said:

"you say."

Matthew said:

"Give me the butterfly contract."

Sif frowned:

"Are you thinking about the Ether Core?"

Matthew said calmly:

"I originally came here for the etheric core. It may be the origin of this chaotic storm. I cannot let it fall into the hands of any dangerous force."

Sif snorted:

"In your eyes, we are a dangerous force?"

Matthew said bluntly:

"Quite dangerous."

Sif glared at him.

Matthew returned the favor without any sign of weakness.

A long while.

Sif could only say dullly:

"As long as you let me out and help me conquer this planet, I agree in principle to transfer the butterfly contract to you."

But then she said:

"But you have to convince Xia Ye yourself."

Matthew quickly said:
