The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 134 Prom

……

On the dance floor, the music is soothing.

Matthew followed Sif's rhythm a little stiffly, struggling to move the limbs that seemed to suddenly not belong to him.

They are currently dancing a style somewhere between tango and blues.

The pace of movement is not fast, but it has a sense of rhythm and power when stepping on the point.

Matthew didn't know anything about it. He was like a marionette, being led into various poses by Sif, who was flexible like an elf.

Sif danced happily.

She didn't care about Matthew's clumsiness at all, she just smiled and showed her exquisite dancing posture.

Neither of them spoke at first.

After a relatively intense movement, the rhythm becomes slower.

At this moment, Matthew noticed that Sif would occasionally turn her head away and cover her mouth and nose with a hand quietly.

She was secretly yawning.

This discovery made Matthew instinctively feel a little lost, but soon, he asked with concern:
"Are you tired?"

"Well?"

Sif turned her head in embarrassment:

"Sorry, it's not sleepiness, it's just an instinctive reaction of the body."

"In the past few days, I have been going to bed earlier. I am usually asleep at this point. It is strange to say that since May, I have become more and more lethargic. On average, I sleep about 14 hours a day."

"I'm actually not sleepy at all, not only that, I'm excited."

As she spoke, she yawned again in front of Matthew.

This time Sif didn't hide it, just looked at Matthew with innocent eyes.

The two smiled at each other.

The rhythm of the music suddenly became much brighter.

Sif lightly grabbed Matthew's waist, motioning for him to lean forward and hold her.

Matthew complied.

The following dance caught him off guard, but also felt pleasing to the eye.

Accompanied by the continuous acceleration of the rhythm.

Sif's range of motion is getting bigger and bigger.

She was spinning around Matthew like a butterfly, and it was hard to tell whether it was the girl's fragrance or the hormones floating on the dance floor that entered Matthew's mouth and nose, and his heartbeat began to speed up slightly.

Sif put on makeup tonight.

She looks a lot more mature.

Especially the demeanor between the brows, after sweeping away the usual quiet and well-behaved pretense, it became wild and restless.

This brought a very novel experience to Matthew.

When he first entered the dance floor, he felt that he was being taught dance steps by a good girl.

Soon, the dance partner beside her showed her teeth and claws inadvertently, and the good girl turned into a little wild cat.

The accompanying music also seems to be the little wild cat grinding its teeth.

And reached the climax stage.

Sif's movements became more and more presumptuous, and her strength became more and more brutal.

In a trance.

Matthew felt like he had become a battered sailboat in a storm.

And the other side.

It is the queen of the sea who only shows half of her body from the sea and occupies most of the background of the sea and sky.

Sif's eyes became wilder and presumptuous.

When finishing those last few difficult spins and low throws.

Her hands were clinging tightly to the soft flesh around Matthew's waist, a faint tingling pain came from under the skin, Matthew endured the pain without crying out, and helped her complete the last movement.

The music stopped abruptly.

It was getting darker on the dance floor.

Call, call, call.

Short breathing mixed with the pounding heartbeat.

Matthew thought he would have no reaction when facing Sif.

But the "heart like still water" launched in a hurry revealed that his heart was not so calm.

In the dim light.

He could see the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Her big eyes are more dazzling than stars, more beautiful than diamonds.

At that moment, there seemed to be thousands of words in her eye sockets.

The crickets in the courtyard in the back garden chirped even louder.

Suddenly, the lights came on.

Men and women retreated to the edge of the dance floor, arm in arm with each other.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, and exited with Sif.

He came to the drink cabinet, took two glasses of juice, and handed one to Sif.

The girl took a sip, and immediately two horizontal lines appeared on her small nose:

"Yeah, it's so sour."

Matthew took a sip and found that it was okay, he just wanted to say something.

Sif suddenly asked:

"Matthew, what kind of girl do you like?"

Matthew froze for a moment.

The memory of the previous life was opened a few pages like an old photo album.

Images of several ex-girlfriends flashed through his mind, and he had already forgotten what they looked like.

Before time travel, he was 25 years old and had several girlfriends, but those relationships seemed to come and go in a hurry.

It seems that both parties are lonely like a formula, fall in love like a formula, and finally break up like a formula.

These experiences can only leave a little trace in the huge memory.

And when he was younger, Matthew had torn his heart for some girls like Eli did.

Those were some dog-licking memories that seemed touching at the time, but later felt childish and ignorant.

Except the varying degrees of tea smell on those girls.

He couldn't remember the rest.

"Matthew?"

Sif asked expectantly.

Matthew turned half of his face, and his eyes wandered around the men and women by the dance floor:

"Frankly, I don't know."

"The relationship between men and women is still a bit complicated for me, and I just want to focus on simple things now."

Sif's face was full of curiosity:

"Like, plant a tree?"

Matthew smiled. He wanted to tell the other party that the undead were actually very simple creatures.

But at this time.

Suddenly there was a burst of applause and cheers at the entrance of the hall.

Matthew cast his gaze over immediately.

The visitors were naturally Ms. Alena and her adopted daughter Judy.

Matthew looked curiously several times.

Ms. Aliena is indeed very temperamental, and her attire is something that you can't usually see in the backcountry of Rolling Stone Town - it is a slender white tight-fitting dress, which is divided into nine layers, and the silver thread on each layer is studded with pearls.

The curve formed by the pearls went up to form a perfect proportion between the waist and hips, and further up, there was a bunch of colorful feathers stuck to her chest, which made her fair skin and graceful temperament even more.

She also wore a large lady's sun hat with a ribbon hanging from the brim, also full of pearls.

Ms. Aliena came all the way.

She greeted the people next to her very kindly.

Everyone also expressed their praise sincerely.

As for her adopted daughter Judy, she was obviously more beautiful, but her temperament was completely crushed by her mother, and she failed to get more attention from everyone.

There was also a small episode during this period.

I don't know if it's because I want everyone to pay more attention to me, or if the kitten in my arms has been restless.

Judy moved closer to Ms. Aliena, and said obediently:
"Mom, this little cat has been trying to run towards you. He seems to like you very much."

"is it?"

Ms. Aliena took the cat from Judy's arms with a smile.

"Do you want to follow me? Cutie?"

Aliena asked with a smile on her face.

The little black cat nodded frantically.

"Then you will be my cat from now on, you can't go out and mess with other kittens."

Aliena smiled softly, and patted the little black cat's head.

The latter looked so happy that he was about to pass out.

However, in the next second, Aliena's right hand suddenly touched between the cat's hind legs!
"Oh, it's a little tomcat!"

Aliena suddenly turned around and said to the knight who was following closely behind her:

"Take it out and castrate it, and then put it in a cage for me."

As she spoke, she ignored the kitten's fierce objection and stuffed it directly into the knight's arms.

Without saying a word, the knight walked outside while clutching the black cat.

This scene made Matthew's scalp tingle.

He really wanted to go to rescue Eli, but the task that Rhaegar had given him had not been completed, and Matthew couldn't leave.

At this time, on the other side of the corridor, Rega had already brought some local nobles from Rolling Stone Town to welcome them.

Sif's sour voice sounded in Matthew's ear:

"Sure enough, mature women are more attractive?"

Matthew quickly denied:

"no."

Sif habitually put her hands behind her back, the smile on her face was still bright:
"Don't hide it, Matthew, it's human nature. Look, my father and the others are dumbfounded!"

"Ms. Aliena is really very temperamental, even I can't help but want to look at her more."

When Sif said this, Matthew suddenly murmured:
"I just thought she kind of looked like someone I knew, but for some reason, I couldn't remember who that person was."

Sif joked:
"So is this a common excuse for men to strike up a conversation? Would you like to preview it with me?"

Matthew shook his head.

Sif pouted in disappointment, then said flatly:
"If you think Ms. Alena looks familiar, it's not unusual. The Lankey family has a great influence on the east coast. You may have seen her photos or portraits by accident."

Matthew hesitated and nodded:

"maybe."

After Ms. Aliena entered the venue, the atmosphere became even more heated.

The previous dance was just a warm-up scene. After the most important guest arrived, the dance session officially started.

Rhaegar led Aliena, and introduced him to a few people who could make a move in Rolling Stone Town.

Matthew and Sif were naturally among them.

Aliena shook hands with them very politely.

But Matthew could clearly feel that there was a kind of superior reserve and inadvertent contempt contained in that kind of politeness.

This greatly reduced Matthew's impression of Alena.

On the contrary, her adopted daughter Judy has no airs. She greeted Matthew lively and seemed to have a good impression of Matthew.

Matthew collected himself and prepared to follow Rhaegar's instructions to find a breakthrough from Judy and find out the real purpose of the visitors from Deep Blue Harbor.

The greetings and introductions are over soon.

Accompanied by changes in the sound of music.

The crowd came to the dance floor.

Rhaegar introduced Ms. Alena's noble background to everyone with dignity, and then said with a smile:

"I remember that according to the custom of Deep Blue Harbor, the first dance is for the lady to choose a male partner, and the selected male partner cannot refuse. Aliena, you choose first, and then Judy, don't be cautious, you just treat this place as Deep Blue Harbor, all the men in Rolling Stone Town, you can choose as you like."

While speaking, he couldn't help puffing out his chest.

Rega was also dressed in a fancy dress today, with some oil smeared on his head, shiny black hair, and a few hairs of unknown animals pinned to his chest, but they were somewhat similar to Ms. Alena's clothes.

"Is that so? I thought I would follow the rules of your Rolling Stone town. Oh, Rhaegar, you are so considerate."

Ms. Aliena smiled and said:

"But if I don't choose you for the first dance, you will be sad, right?"

Rhaegar categorically denied:

"Where will it happen? The men present are all the elites of Rolling Stone Town. Which one you choose is to save face for me. You don't have to worry about my having fun."

Ms. Aliena raised her eyebrows:

"Really?"

Rega's complexion was a bit ugly, but he still said firmly:
"real!"

As a result, Aliena's eyes began to circle back and forth among the men in the row next to her.

Many people subconsciously straightened their backs.

A few confident ones even took the initiative to wink at Aliena's gaze.

Aliena, however, ignored them.

In the end, she walked towards Sif with a smile on her face:

"Can I borrow your male companion?"

Sif seemed to have expected it, she subconsciously bit her lower lip, but soon said with a smile on her face:
"Of course, it's Matthew's honor."

As she spoke, she pushed Matthew out very hard.

Matthew looked at Ms. Alena in surprise.

The rest of the people looked at Matthew full of envy and jealousy.

"Ma'am, I'm not very good at dancing."

Matthew gave Rhaegar a wink of "I don't know what's going on", and then said.

Aliena smiled tenderly:
"Oh? I just happen to be good at dancing and it looks like we'd be a match made in heaven."

Matthew heard goosebumps all over his body.

Countless murderous eyes focused on him.

At this time, Judy was dissatisfied:

"Mom, I wanted to choose him, but you took my partner away!"

Ms. Aliena laughed without looking back:
"Really? Baby, then I'll choose him even more!"

Without any explanation, she dragged Matthew onto the dance floor.

Only Judy was left looking angrily among the men.

In the end, she also walked up to Sif and held out her hand:
"How about you be my dance partner?"

The music sounded, the light on the dance floor quickly dimmed, and the rest of the people also quickly completed the pairing and flocked into the dance floor.

finally.

Only Rega was left smiling and standing on the edge of the dance floor, looking at the dark figures inside.

not far away.

A certain black cat that survived the catastrophe was lying on the glass outside the window sill, looking in hard.

suddenly.

Its body trembled violently.

The fierce dance moves of Matthew and Ms. Alena were reflected in the emerald green pupils.

……

Lady Aliena's dance skills are clearly superior to Sif's.

Matthew didn't need to move by himself the whole time.

When the other party mentioned it lightly, he knew what to do.

Under Aliena's suggestion, Matthew danced even better than before.

Ms. Aliena is very charming, and the strong fragrance wafting from her body is easy to be intoxicated.

But Matthew didn't feel the slightest turmoil in his heart.

He felt like he was in prison.

Rhaegar looked down at himself like a warden on the steps by the dance floor.

Sif and Judy were dancing next to them, and they were also doing well, but obviously absent-minded.

The eyes of both girls were on Matthew.

As for the black cat on the windowsill, Matthew saw it too, but he couldn't explain it.

"Perhaps it was a mistake to open up the tauren domain."

Different from the stiffness and numbness of the body.

His thoughts are constantly diverging, thinking about strange things.

But at this time.

When Aliena was completing a dance move, she suddenly put her head very close to Matthew's ear, and a very low voice entered his eardrum:

"Two groups of assassins have sneaked in tonight's dance, and their targets are Rhaegar and me."

Matthew was taken aback.

He looked at each other's faces.

Lady Aliena continued dancing as if nothing had happened.

The only time she winked at Matthew was when she was doing something that no one else could see.

Matthew asked in a low voice:
"What do you mean? If someone is going to assassinate you, why didn't you tell Rhaegar earlier?"

"I'm not afraid of assassination."

Aliena said.

"Little Matthew, you haven't recognized me yet, have you?"

In an instant, Matthew was surprised to find that this voice actually sounded from the bottom of his heart!

……

"Reminder: Your partner Lorraine briefly removed the ability "Beautiful" (Performance Domain)

Lorraine used "Mind Words" on you"

……

Lorraine?

Lady Aliena turned into Lorraine?

Matthew only felt a buzz in his head, and suddenly, he suddenly remembered Lorraine's signature in the previous letter——

Lothoren Lankey.

"Are you from the Lankey family?"

Matthew didn't know how to speak, so he could only ask in a low voice.

"Alena is my little cousin."

Lorraine smiled and said in his heart:

"Her situation in Deep Blue Harbor can be described as internal and external troubles. Her mother gave me a lot of support when she was alive. Whether it was due to blood relationship or reciprocity, I had to help her."

"I dressed up as her to make outsiders think that she really came to Rolling Stone Town, and she was hiding in the dark of Deep Blue Harbor, waiting for an opportunity."

"Of course, she did entrust me to negotiate with the lord of Rolling Stone Town. The content of the negotiation includes the marriage between Judy and even Aliena herself and Rolling Stone Town."

Matthew wanted to ask again, but Lorraine stopped him in time:
"There are too many people, so don't say too much, or you may be discovered by assassins."

"Don't be nervous, according to my judgment, they are still in the sneak stage, and the real action should be in the second half of the dance."

Matthew nodded.

After learning the true identity of "Ms. Alena" and the news that there may be an assassin at the ball.

Matthew was both shocked and puzzled.

The remaining half of the dance seemed so difficult.

It was hard to wait until the music ended.

Matthew pulled "Alena" to the dance floor, and Sif and Judy followed closely behind.

On the other side, Rhaegar and other men also flocked over.

Matthew had sharp eyes and found that there was also a small-eyed kitten mixed in the crowd.

He suddenly had a headache.

Right now.

"Alena" suddenly ouched, and immediately threw her whole body on Matthew:

"My foot seems to be sprained, Matthew, can you help me go to the dressing room next to me to rest?"

Everyone watched this scene dumbfounded.

Immediately, "Alena" raised her head and showed Rhaegar an apologetic look:
"I may not be able to dance tonight, can I borrow your spell consultant?"

Rhaegar was able to maintain his proper demeanor.

He waved his hand seemingly generously:

"It's okay, please use Matthew to your heart's content!"

"Hee hee, that would be disrespectful."

"Alena" got Rega's permission, holding the skirt in one hand and Matthew in the other, trotting all the way to the dressing room in the corridor.

boom!
The door to a dressing room was slammed shut.

"Are you in the locker room?"

"I think Matthew obviously didn't do anything!"

In the crowd, Brad stroked his beard in surprise and asked.

Beside him stood the young man who had gone and returned.

Little Parton drank the red wine in the goblet in his hand:

"I knew that what I gave him would come in handy."

"Give me the money, brother."

"Hey! Who tripped me? Dead cat, running so fast, do you want to witness adultery?"

……

　Ask for a monthly pass, woohoo.
