The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Facing Matthew's inquiry, A Bing scratched his crotch and responded a little slowly:

"She's safe."

"I know she's safe."

Matthew maintained a high degree of patience and said calmly:

"Just can you describe the scene in another way?"

A Bing was thoughtful:

"The enemies are unsafe."

Matthew was choked for a moment, and then followed this entry point and continued to ask:

"What enemies were there at that time?"

A Bing replied:

"demon."

Matthew tries to provide more precise directionality:

"Demon? Big or small?"

Unexpectedly, A Bing thought for three full minutes before slowly answering:

"small……"

Matthew frowned. Did Sif kill all little devils?

Isn't this consistent with Hood's report?

But the next second.

"There are big ones too."

A Bing added slowly.

This made Matthew very angry.

But he couldn't blame A Bing, after all, his intelligence level was there...

To say that his intelligence is equivalent to that of a five- or six-year-old child may be a bit of a false representation of academic qualifications!

He seemed to sense Matthew's emotional changes.

On the other side of the undead contract, A Bing's faint grievance could be heard.

Matthew quickly adjusted his mentality and asked from a different angle:

"Do you think anything was different about Sif that day?"

A Bing immediately replied:

"The clothes she wears are different from what she usually wears..."

Matthew's eyes lit up.

He quickly thought that when he found Sif and Biana, the former was not wearing the clothes he had worn when he came to Rapids with him.

If you encounter danger outside, why would you change your clothes?

Combined with Matthew's previous experience fighting side by side with Rhaegar, I'm afraid it's because Sif has activated her second form!

After all, the devil's second form is often much larger than its normal form.

Clothes bursting is inevitable.

"So Sif has most likely activated her second form, and she showed great strength in the abyss death battle..."

"This may be one of the important conditions for them to tide over the difficulties."

"But it's still far from enough to kill a twenty-level fallen angel."

Matthew continued to ask while trying to figure it out:

"Any other feelings?"

A Bing stood there blankly. After a long time, he couldn't help but squeeze his crotch. At that moment, his soul fire became slightly unstable!

"horrible."

A Bing responded.

horrible?

Matthew looked surprised.

The word fear of the undead does not exist in the dictionary.

If A Bing thinks Xifu is scary.

This shows that her strength is far beyond her imagination!

But this is neither scientific nor magical, and it goes against the common sense of the strict hierarchy of devil blood.

"How scary is that?"

"Is it close to me?"

Matthew's curiosity was completely piqued.

A Bing glanced at Matthew uneasily. He actually took half a step back, and then said hesitantly:

"More terrifying than the master..."

"How can it be!?"

Matthew couldn't help but blurt out.

He is very aware of his own strength. Regardless of the level, Matthew is only at the peak of the fourth level, but with the blessing of many fields and abilities, especially the effect of spell upgrades, Matthew's spells can easily reach the peak of the fifth level!

Not to mention that his signature spells can even stand up to the majesty of legends!

With his current strength.

Let’s just say that there is nothing wrong with Xiao Invincible under the legend.

But in A Bing's eyes.

She was actually worse than a little girl who had just awakened her bloodline.

This is a bit outrageous!

of course.

The bloodline awakening has nothing to do with seniority or inferiority, it is purely about competing for ancestors and talent.

But Matthew thought about it.

That's all Rhaegar was capable of.

Melinda may have some tricks, but she's not a shockingly powerful person.

The devil's bloodline has strong lawful characteristics.

The probability of bloodline mutations occurring is extremely slim.

It is almost impossible for an idiot father to suddenly give birth to a genius girl in a devil's society.

Matthew went through the ins and outs of this logic.

But he could only conclude——

There's something wrong with A Bing's perception!

Otherwise, there is no reason for me to be weaker than Sif!

That must be the case!

Matthew even thought in confusion:

"Is it because I'm usually too gentle to them that I don't have any majesty in their minds, which leads to this misjudgment?"

But looking at A Bing with a look of awe.

He also felt that this possibility was relatively low. These contract partners knew Matthew the best.

There was no way they were unaware of Matthew's horror.

And going further.

"Even if A Bing makes a misjudgment, Sif's second form after awakening must have extremely strong combat effectiveness. Is this related to the Holy Grail of Sin?"

"No, I must ask Rhaegar later!"

Matthew became more and more interested in this matter.

This feeling is indescribable.

A little girl who had been ignored by him suddenly turned into a being who seemed to be equal to him in terms of strength.

Matthew desperately wants to know the truth behind all this!

At that moment, he waved his hand and asked A Bing to leave.

The latter escaped into the shadows with relief.

Matthew continued to look at the attachments to the report.

And when he turned to the last page.

Suddenly a golden card slid down automatically.

It fell into his palm.

Matthew took a closer look and made a slightly surprised expression.

That's a folded card!

On the front of the folded card is the standard magic circle and space contract.

On the back is a beautiful garden.

There is a bright golden light in the depths of the garden.

The whole picture is dynamic. If you focus on the golden light, you will feel as if you can follow the path of the garden to its depths.

In the blink of an eye.

Matthew saw a large number of gold coins lying quietly in treasure boxes deep in the garden!

…

"Reminder: You received Hood's thank you gift "Garden Treasure Box" (space folding card)

Accountant: You quickly estimate that the total value of the gold coins in these treasure chests is close to one million!

Note: You deserve this, thank you for everything you have done for me——

Dafia Hood"

…

One million gold coins!

Matthew's hand holding the folded card trembled slightly.

"Are these old guys so rich?"

He was a little shocked inside.

He guessed that Hood would remain silent.

But I didn't expect that the other party would be so inhumane.

Being able to give out one million easily shows that Old Hood's wealth is evident.

But if you think about it carefully, this actually makes sense.

Grand Rapids is far wealthier than Rolling Stone.

It is Jade Cangting's largest partner and almost monopolizes the elves' foreign trade.

And Hood operated in that city for eighty or ninety years.

With the accumulation of time.

The aggregation effect of wealth is very terrifying.

It's no wonder that the current city lord of Rapid City wants to deal with Hood.

Matthew had previously thought that the city lord was simply bewitched.

But think about it carefully.

This may also have something to do with the Hood family's crazy blood-sucking in Rapid City.

In this one million gold coins.

How much of it is just income, and how much of it is the people’s fat and the people’s anointing?

Just think of this.

Matthew couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He couldn't refuse the money that came to his door, not to mention that he deserved it.

And what made him sigh was.

In the past, he must have felt that this amount of money was extremely unacceptable.

but now.

Such thoughts only flashed through his mind, leaving basically no psychological burden.

Matthew could clearly feel the change in his mentality.

Maybe it’s because I gradually saw the cruelty and darkness of this world.

Against the backdrop of those evil things.

The slightly gray areas seem less hideous.

Change to before.

It is certainly impossible for him to cooperate with Blinken.

But half a month ago.

After Isabel went on a killing spree in Cross City, didn't he still finish it off for her?

Matthew has expressed condolences to the families of some innocent people.

Faced with the doubts of some of them.

He could either remain silent, or he could only insist that it was the witch from the Dragon Worship Cult who did it.

This helplessness stemming from reality makes Matthew unable to make any changes except sighing.

The mages are certainly not very good.

But compared with the gods and the evil things in the outer planes, they are much better.

"The world is like a dirty fish tank..."

With emotion.

Matthew couldn't help but recall what Suriel once said to him.

And then gained a deeper understanding.

"You can only do your best first, and try to be nice to ordinary people on your own territory."

He secretly warned himself.

Just at this time.

He suddenly realized the value of Rhaegar like never before!

"The lord who supports the residents with his own money is probably the only one in Irondor."

Matthew smiled silently.

He thought for a while, he hadn't been to the city hall for a long time recently, and he happened to encounter Sif's doubts again, so he packed up and quickly headed to Rolling Stone Town.

However, he had just stepped into the office hall.

What I saw was a messy scene——

Several groups of soldiers were coming in and out of the lord's mansion.

In the office lobby.

Rhaegar sat slumped on the sofa, holding a letter in his hand.

Zeller was giving orders with a tired face.

When Matthew entered.

Zeller was saying:

"After she awakens, my divination will be ineffective on her, but a girl who has never traveled far away should not be able to cover up her own traces. I am summoning tracking experts to find her before dark. !”

However, Rhaegar sat on the sofa and said nothing in particular.

His reaction seemed slow.

Emotionally it is full of frustration.

Matthew stepped forward quickly:

"Is it Sif?"

When Zeller saw him, a rare smile appeared on his tired face:

"Yes, Sif ran away from home, leaving only a letter."

As he spoke, he pointed at Rhaegar.

Matthew walked over:

"Can you let me see it?"

Rhaegar handed the letter to Matthew listlessly.

Matthew glanced over hastily, his eyes becoming subtle.

What Sif explained in the letter was quite simple. She only said that she had been invited by a magic academy in the floating city in the far north to participate in the admission examination.

Because it has been suppressed for too long.

She longed to see the world alone.

She also left her planned route in the letter——

Starting from Rolling Stone Town, head all the way north, passing through Rapid City and Watcher's Highlands, passing through the Cloud Plateau and the Helen Mountains. After arriving in the Northland, quickly head towards the Kraken Pass in the southwest, crossing the Troll Kingdom, crossing the Cannibal Islands and The Sea of ​​Black Chaos finally successfully reached the Far North.

"This plan is a bit outrageous..."

Matthew didn't know what to say after reading it.

Sif's idea of ​​planning the route is quite simple and crude, that is, the shortest straight line between two points, but the many obstacles along the way are like natural dangers, and even Matthew does not dare to go through it like this!

"She can do tricks now."

Matthew reminded:

"This roadmap may be deliberately misleading us."

Zeller glanced at Matthew unexpectedly, but after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement:

"No matter what, we have to get her back. The outside world is too dangerous."

Matthew was just about to echo.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Rega suddenly shook his head and said:

"What if I get it back?"

"She already has her own ideas and won't listen to me anymore."

Loneliness was written on his face:

"I have never seen her like that. She is completely different from the Sif I know."

"Yesterday she had another argument with me, and her back when she turned around and left was very much like Melinda's back when she left."

"She is her daughter after all, and no one can stop them from doing what they are determined to do."

Matthew quickly explained:

"Sif and Melinda are definitely different."

"I have talked with her. I am afraid that Sif's disgust for her own bloodline is more serious than we imagined. She is deeply troubled by this. Perhaps there is also the influence of the Holy Grail of Sin."

"Rhaeja, don't take things too seriously. She will always be your daughter."

Rhaegar gently rubbed his knees with both hands, his eyes dull, and murmured to himself:

"What I know, what I know, is all my fault. In fact, I am too selfish."

"I just want Sif to be fixed at a certain moment forever. In my consciousness, she should always be the daughter who has always been obedient and obedient. She must live her life completely according to my will."

"I claim that this is a kind of protection, but if I think about it carefully, I am afraid that this so-called protection has caused irreparable harm to her."

"The concepts I instilled in her became a weapon for her to resist me. I brought it upon myself..."

Matthew listened quietly to Rhaegar's confession.

He originally wanted to refute the other party, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with what Rhaegar said.

Sometimes parents' overprotectiveness can indeed cause greater harm to their children.

After all, Sif is an individual with her own thoughts.

She is eager to grow, eager to see the outside world, and eager to see changes in her life.

These are very legitimate needs.

Matthew didn't know how the father and daughter communicated in private, but with Rhaegar's previous over-protection of Sif, a quarrel between the two was naturally inevitable.

This kind of thing.

He, an outsider, cannot interfere. At most, he can only say a few words of help.

"If you can realize this, you are already better than most parents."

Matthew tried to find something nice to say:

"Sif actually loves you very much, but her body may be undergoing changes that we can't predict. This change has aggravated her emotional ups and downs. Running away from home may be a temporary thing. Maybe she will die in two days. came back."

Rhaegar covered his face with his hands in pain:

"I know that my daughter will grow up eventually, and sooner or later she will live her own life. I just didn't expect this day to come so soon..."

Matthew and Zeller looked at each other.

obviously.

They couldn't let Rhaegar indulge in such resentment.

So under Zeller's suggestion.

Matthew opened his mouth to encourage:

"It's okay. I can ask the prophecy mages in the alliance to help find Sif's whereabouts. Then at least we can ensure her safety."

However, Rhaegar shook his head:

"I'm not worried about Sif's safety."

"I don't think anyone can hurt her along the way. After all, she is indeed different now than she was before."

"If any stupid warlock dares to try to kidnap Sif, he will die quickly."

When Matthew heard this, his heart moved:

"So Sif has indeed awakened a very powerful power?"

"What's going on with this power?"

"I suspect her current strength is almost close to mine!"

Rhaegar glanced at Matthew.

Suddenly he puffed up his chest proudly:

"Is there a possibility that she is better than you now?"

Matthew smiled.

At this moment.

Zeller's extremely serious voice came over:

"Is it related to that drop of blood?"

Rhaegar nodded.

Zeller asked in great surprise:

"How is that possible? Did you really find that drop of blood? How long has that drop of blood been on your hand? Why didn't I know anything about it?"

Rhaegar said with a bitter look:

"It's Melinda."

"It was only after Sif completed her awakening that I realized that she had an extra breath from Bator!"

"Afterwards, it is speculated that when Melinda was pregnant, she found a drop of Baator's blood through some unknown means and then integrated it into Sif's body."

"The origin of this drop of Baator's blood may be related to the necromancer who took Melinda away, but it may also be just my prediction. In short, I was careless and did not discover this detail at the time."

"And now, Sif's body has gathered the most evil and powerful demonic power in the whole purgatory. Under my influence, she originally hated evil and demons. No wonder she was so resistant to awakening, and she became emotional after awakening. It’s so unstable…”

Blood of Baator? !

Matthew was shocked.

He once told Margaret the story of the Blood Flag family.

This powerful force that occupies almost half of the territory in Purgatory originally originated from the human leader and the devil Memphist in Purgatory, and the drop of Baator's blood they found.

Batona was a terrifying existence that once unified the nine levels of purgatory.

He is more powerful than any devil in purgatory now, but he was unlucky enough to hit the peak of the natural disaster mage, and was eventually sealed under the Bridge of Living Beings.

The power contained in the blood essence he left behind is naturally unimaginable!

"Are you sure that's Baator's breath?"

Matthew didn't dare to neglect.

Rhaegar nodded gently:

"I wasn't sure at first, but with the recent quarrels, I found that the aura she showed when her temper was out of control was exactly the same as that of my sister——

Well, that's Ruticia, the current queen of the Blood Flag Kingdom. She has the purest Bator bloodline in the Blood Flag family today.

However, compared to Sif, even Luticia's Baator aura is not that strong.

I am basically certain that Sif's body has one more drop of Baator's blood than an ordinary Blood Flag member. "

"This drop of blood will bring her infinite power, but it may also make her irreversible. Only an ambitious woman like Melinda can do this kind of thing. Damn it..."

Rhaegar's face was filled with uneasiness and annoyance.

At this moment, Matthew finally understood Rhaegar's inner struggle.

Put aside the fact that my daughter suddenly grew up and needed to be independent.

Faced with Sif's sudden power, Rhaegar lost confidence in himself.

What worries him most now is probably that he is worried that Sif has gone astray.

"In the final analysis, I am still too weak. If I had legendary strength, of course I would be confident that I could guide her to the right path, but I don't..."

"I really shouldn't have wasted these years. If I had worked hard, I might be a legend by now."

Rhaegar held his head and screamed strangely.

Zeller came over and kicked him angrily:

"Wake up, with your talent, the best you can do is just a Li Weiqi."

"Maybe you are not as good as him..."

Rhaegar protested:

"Maybe I really have the talent to become a legendary warrior?"

Zeller rolled his eyes and remained silent.

Matthew pondered:

"In this case, Sif's choice to go to the Floating City is actually a very correct choice. She may also be worried about not being able to control the power in her body. She needs a legendary level mage or warlock to help lead the way."

Rega helplessly collapsed on the sofa:

"you're right."

"But I just feel bad."

"And I'm worried that she will suffer if she goes out alone. What if she is a road addict like me?"

Matthew immediately interrupted Rhaegar’s resentment:

"So the top priority is that we should find Sif and send her to the Floating City through formal channels?"

Rhaegar gritted his teeth, still seeming a little unwilling.

Zeller came over and patted his shoulder hard:

"It's time to grow old, Rhaegar."

"You can't tie her to you. Like Matthew said, finding a better teacher for her is the best option."

Rhaegar retorted:

"I'm not old yet!"

Zeller sneered:

"Yesterday you had an affair with the wives of the nobles in Red Earth Mountain in the dressing room of the official post house. The average duration did not exceed seven minutes."

"This is even after applying that sword oil!"

"This is far from your previous level, Rhaegar!"

Rega blushed and immediately defended:

"That's because their husbands are nearby."

Matthew was dumbfounded. well

Zeller waved his hand disapprovingly:

"Those nobles voluntarily gave their women to Rhaegar in exchange for some of their inherent interests in the Red Earth Mountain."

"At first Rega was hypocritically unwilling to accept it, but those nobles stated that it is the custom of Red Earth Mountain to offer wives to the lords they are loyal to. If Rega cannot be humble, then they will be very frightened. No, I dare to stay in Hongtu Mountain any longer.”

"So he was very happy to do it."

"It's just that judging from the expressions of those noble ladies afterwards, I can only say that his performance was unsatisfactory."

Rhaegar could not argue.

He could only continue to sigh.

Matthew blinked:

"So, do you agree to let Sif go to the Floating City?"

Rhaegar said dejectedly:

"So what if I don't agree?"

"Let her go, Matthew, and please find a good teacher for her. Just tell me how much it will cost."

Matthew nodded.

Since Rhaegar had spoken out, of course he was willing to facilitate the reconciliation between the father and daughter.

But not before that.

He had to find Sif first.

Finding someone is not difficult for the mage in the alliance, but finding a teacher is.

Just as Matthew was wondering who to find to divine Sif's whereabouts.

Rega suddenly pulled Matthew's sleeve:

"You said if I work hard from now on, will I still have a chance to become a legend?"

Matthew had originally said it was unlikely.

But he suddenly thought that he seemed to have the invisible title of a legendary mentor.

So he said:

"Try it, I think you have a good chance."

Rhaegar's eyes lit up.

"Then I'll start increasing the training intensity now!"

"As for Sif, I can only leave it to you first!"

Matthew agreed wholeheartedly.

Then he left the lord's office with a smile.

"Blood of Baator?"

"It's really exciting..."

Unknowingly.

Matthew quickened his pace.

Through the portal of the Crucible House, Matthew spent a lot of money to come to the Far North Floating City for the first time.

He didn't wander around in this legendary floating city.

Instead, he immediately found the person he wanted to visit on this trip.

The genius mage Hibbert.

Of course there are no surprises.

The female mage Fei Liwen, who had a child with him, was also nearby.

After the Cross City incident.

Feliwen's attitude towards Matthew has changed significantly.

After listening to Matthew’s narration.

Hibbert still looked confused.

Fei Liwen had already opened her mouth and said:

"If it is really the blood of Baator, then many of the palace mages will be willing to accept her as a student."

"But before that, we must find the girl as soon as possible, and we can't let anything happen to her!"

"Hibbert can't handle this kind of thing, let me help you!"

Half an hour later.

Northeast of Rolling Stone Town, in the wilderness only a few miles away from Hag Po Castle.

A lonely figure is walking slowly north.

Her figure was light and agile, as if she was filled with indescribable joy.

Just now and then.

She would also look back and see the town where she had lived for more than ten years.

But no matter how many times I look back.

In the end, she chose to continue heading north resolutely.

"Then I'll be on my own."

"I want to go by myself!"

With such a firm thought in mind, the girl unknowingly came to the vicinity of the Mark of the Dead.

She frowned and looked forward:

"Are we going to take a detour?"

At this moment.

A magic carpet falls from the sky.

Standing on the magic carpet was a female mage with a beautiful face and a gentle tone:

"Is this Miss Sif? I am Feliwen, the palace mage of the Floating City. I have been entrusted by a friend to take you directly to your destination."

Said.

She showed the identity mark of the Seven Saints Alliance and the assessment information reported by Sif to the alliance.

"Is the friend you are talking about Matthew?"

Sif asked curiously.

Feliwen nodded slightly:

"He said that if he came forward, you might mistake him for a lobbyist sent by your father."

"So he didn't come over in person."

Sif pursed her lips and said nothing.

Fei Liwen saw that there were beads of sweat all over her head, so she asked thoughtfully:

"Want to drink milk tea?"

As she spoke, she conjured a cup of milk tea out of thin air.

Sif looked at this scene with curiosity.

Then he asked a little embarrassedly:

"Can I have two drinks?"

Feliwen was stunned for a moment, then said with a gentle smile:

"sure."

So she had another drink.

Sif took two cups of milk tea, apologized very politely, and then her figure suddenly disappeared!

In mid-air.

On that invisible magic carpet.

Matthew looked at Sif who appeared on his face in surprise.

The latter looked at Matthew with a smile.

The little face was almost touching his nose.

"I order you to drink my milk tea!"

she says.

Matthew instinctively wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he suddenly found that he had lost his resistance to Sif's words!

"I'll feed you."

Her tone was sweet and gentle, but her content was undeniably domineering.

Matthew lowered his head involuntarily.

Just when his lips were about to touch the edge of the cup of milk tea.

The milk tea was suddenly removed.

A pair of soft and sweet thin lips kissed her.

that moment.

Matthew's mind went blank.

He hasn't had time to enjoy the sweetness and tenderness.

A sharp pain stimulated his nerves——

"Ah, it's all my fault that I was too careless, the bite caused bleeding..."

That's what it says.

But there was no trace of apology on the girl's face.

She licked her lips arrogantly, and at the same time, her eyes looked at Matthew full of provocation.

next moment.

Matthew could feel his waist becoming itchy.

A thin tail wrapped around his waist, and the tip of the tail pierced his robe, quickly carving a mark on Matthew's waist!

"Well, goodbye, Matthew."

Sif suddenly took a step back, and her whole demeanor changed into the sweet and gentle one before.

"Say sorry to Rhaegar for me."

"I'll come back, when I find my own way."

"You have to work hard, don't let me pass you accidentally..."

While talking.

She handed one of the cups of milk tea into Matthew's hand.

Then disappeared again on the magic carpet.

After a while.

Feliwen's magic carpet slowly rose and drifted away.

Matthew sat blankly on his magic carpet and watched them leave.

on the data column.
