The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 16 Family members also have to pay wages

…

Matthew opened the door and looked out.

Outside the fence gate.

A petite figure stood.

There is no moon tonight.

Matthew could only vaguely see that the other party was wearing a small dark red cloak, and he was looking around uneasily.

"Sif?"

The mage's fire lit up, Matthew walked over and saw a fair little face.

It was the girl he had rescued from the warlock camp a few days ago.

I don't know if it was because of running, but Sif's face was red and there was a faint mist in her eyes.

"Shh! Matthew, I ran out secretly!"

Sif's voice trembled slightly:

"Um, can you let me in for a moment?"

Matthew opened the door smoothly: "Of course, but if you do this, wouldn't it be bad?"

He was referring to the fact that Sif had just been kidnapped. Her safety affected countless nerves in the Lord's Mansion. If she were to sneak out and be discovered, there would inevitably be a big fanfare.

"Don't worry, I'm not an ignorant rebellious girl."

Sif took off the hood of her cloak as she walked inside: "I sneaked out while the maids were asleep. There is a mirror image of me in the bedroom covering, and I won't be gone for too long. , I feel very sorry for making everyone so worried last time.”

Matthew nodded.

He led the girl through the door and sat down in the living room.

"Want coffee? Or milk." Peggy was not here, so Matthew could only greet him by himself.

Sif smiled: "Milk, I won't be able to sleep if I drink coffee at night. I haven't been able to sleep well these days."

After a while.

The girl held her cup of steaming milk and blew gently.

Matthew sat in front of her silently.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Ha, so hot..."

Sif took a sip of milk and stuck out her tongue.

"I came here specifically to thank you, Matthew."

Matthew observed the other party calmly.

Sif put down the milk and said with some humor: "Please, you don't think everyone will believe the ghost story that Brad made up, do you? At least I know that my savior is not some illusory big shot in White Rock City, but Yin .”

Matthew thought for a while: "Were you awake at that time?"

Sif blushed and nodded: "It's the same from beginning to end, except that the magician made me smell a kind of medicinal powder. My consciousness is always awake, but I can't control my body."

Speaking of which.

She took a long breath, with a look of deep fear on her face: "To be honest, Matthew, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened next. You saved my life, but I didn't I know how to thank you.”

"They have kept me at home these past few days, but I can't sleep all night long. Every time I close my eyes, the face of the sorcerer will appear in front of my eyes. Only when I think of you, my heart It will be a little more peaceful.”

Matthew listened quietly to Sif's confession.

Being kidnapped can easily become a person's nightmare, and a mentally weak person would have collapsed long ago.

But Sif is obviously different.

She just whispered for a while, and then put on her youthful smile:

"I really didn't expect you to be so powerful! If other girls in the school know about it, I'm afraid the love letters you will receive during the Spring Festival will double than in previous years!"

Matthew said calmly: "But I am a necromancer."

"What happened to the Necromancer?!" Sif said excitedly: "Biana is an idiot! She obviously likes you so much, but she was at a loss when she heard that you were a Necromancer. Not every death Spirit mages are all bad guys!”

Matthew looked at her in surprise: "Beanna?"

Sif subconsciously covered her mouth with half of her palm, and then said coquettishly under Matthew's gaze:

…

"Okay, okay, I admit that I encouraged her to confess to you - but what's wrong with that? She already likes you!

She has a diary at home, and at least 90% of the contents in it are related to you. She even wrote down the color of the socks you wear in class every day!

In my opinion, this is what love looks like!

Of course I would encourage her to express her feelings when parting - I just didn't expect her to care about the world's opinions. How disappointing! "

…

Matthew rubbed his temples.

It's not easy for him to comment on adolescent girls' views on love.

So he could only change the topic and said:

"So, other people also know that the Necromancer is me?"

Sif's head suddenly shook like a rattle:

"I didn't tell anyone! Everyone else believed Brad's nonsense, including my father. He is a big fool..."

However, the words did not fall.

In the corner of the living room, the copper bell strung on the hemp rope rang again.

"Who would come to see you in the middle of the night?"

Sif followed Matthew with a half-filled glass of milk and looked around.

The next second.

Her little face turned white:

"It's my father!"

"It's so bad Matthew, where can I hide?"

…

"Lord, why are you visiting me late at night?"

Matthew asked politely from inside the fence.

He didn't open the door. Firstly, he was not familiar with the lord. Secondly, after all, his daughter was in his room, so he probably couldn't tell clearly in the middle of the night.

"Is this how you treat guests?"

Rhaegar Blood Flag said angrily.

Matthew noticed that he was also wearing a dark red cloak. The material was similar to the one on Sif, but the size was obviously much larger.

The darkness behind him was empty, and there was no entourage following him.

"Don't look, it's just me."

Rhaegar urged impatiently:

"Come in and talk."

Matthew had no choice but to open the door and lead him into the living room.

"Coffee or milk?"

he asks.

"No need, I won't stay here too long."

Rhaegar's tone was very stiff.

Matthew nodded and sat down opposite him naturally.

"Listen Matthew! What I hate most in my life is the Necromancer! But my upbringing does not allow me to turn a blind eye to my daughter's savior."

Rhaegar gritted his teeth and said:

"So I came here specifically to thank you - thank you for saving my daughter!"

Matthew spread his hands: "So Brad..."

Lei Jia said happily: "Who would believe the nonsense he made up!? The necromancer of White Rock City happened to pass by to fight against an injustice? He happened to have a chance encounter with him? Even a third-rate bard would not dare to write this script! "

Matthew rubbed his temples, a little speechless.

Seeing Matthew's constipated expression, Rega seemed to be in a better mood:

"Don't blame Brad. I have watched that kid grow up. He is not a liar by nature! But you can rest assured that there are no more than five people in the town who really know the inside story of this matter. Although I don't know Why would a necromancer as powerful as you hide in my territory in a low-key manner, but we will keep it a secret for you."

Matthew looked directly at Rhaegar: "What I'm curious about is, even if you see that Brad is lying, why are you so sure it's me? Maybe he really knows someone important?"

Rega sneered, and then said seriously: "I saw your back that day. Our Blood Flag family has a certain purgatory bloodline, so we also have some unknown abilities - in short, I am sure it is you."

Matthew nodded.

He actually didn't want to keep it secret, but he just kept a low profile as much as possible based on the principle that one thing is worse than one thing less. It would be okay if others found out.

"Okay Matthew, without further ado, you can make a request of me, and I will satisfy you to the best of my ability."

Rhaegar stared at Matthew with an evil look in his eyes:

"I don't owe the Necromancer any favors!"

Matthew thought for a while and simply mentioned that he wanted to plant trees on the land in the northwest.

Although Liz had already taken care of it for him.

But Matthew is a particular person.

After all, that piece of land is Rhaegar's private land. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, you should confirm it with the lord when you have the opportunity.

"Just planting trees?"

Rhaegar frowned.

Matthew looked at him frankly: "Occasionally, I bury a few people."

Rega's eyes flashed with deep disgust: "He is indeed an annoying necromancer!"

"But Xifu's life is not that worthless. I will give you that piece of land! From now on, we will be clean!"

Matthew was a little surprised.

Don't wait for him to speak.

Regahuo suddenly stood up:

"Remember, Necromancer, I won't owe you anything in the future."

"Also, I want to give you a piece of advice, stay away from my daughter!"

After saying that, he glared at Matthew fiercely, and then went out on his own.

boom!

He closed the door hard.

The footsteps fade away.

after a long time.

Sif's little head popped out of the kitchen.

She looked at Matthew with a sad face:

"It's bad, Matthew, you don't really want to alienate me, do you?"

Matthew looked at her funny:

"He told you on purpose, don't make it difficult for him."

Sif looked surprised.

So Matthew led her to the window.

Outside the fence illuminated by mage fire.

The middle-aged man in a dark red cloak was still standing at the door.

"He is waiting for you. Maybe he has been guarding you secretly since you came back from the accident. There are a lot of bloodshot eyes in his eyes. He probably hasn't slept a wink in the past few days."

Matthew said softly:

"He's a good father."

Sif's eyes instantly turned red.

She pursed her lips and whispered: "I know, I've always known...he was sad for a long, long time after mom left. I'm sorry Matthew, he wasn't targeting you."

Matthew had a smile in his eyes, indicating that he didn't care.

Sif was silent for a while, then waved her little fist in front of her chest: "I will find a way to help him get rid of his knot. I know my father is a good man, but I don't want to alienate you because of this. Matthew, you can understand me. Do you mean it?"

The girl looked up at Matthew, her eyelashes trembling slightly and her eyes bright.

Matthew said nothing.

At this moment.

A voice came from the direction of the kitchen:

"You can try to find yourself a stepmother. People say that only new love can dilute the pain of old love. This is not unreasonable."

Sif looked at the skeletal minotaur that appeared out of nowhere in surprise.

"Matthew, is this your summon?"

Sif asked softly.

Matthew noticed that there was more curiosity than fear in her eyes.

So he introduced:

"This is Paige, well, she's my family."

When Peggy heard this, she was happy at first.
