All the contract girls want to marry me

Sistine looked at Shirley's expression and knew what this guy was thinking. She smiled and said, "Although I will respect your wishes and call you Lingdong, in my heart you are still Shirley."

"Also, Matthew didn't tell me your identity, but we were once rivals, so I know you very well. Many human habits are always difficult to change, and you don't even know it yourself."

The person who knows you best is always your opponent. This is true.

Shirley did not deny it, but the expression on her face became much more relaxed.

Matthew didn't tell anyone her identity, and he kept their agreement.

Faced with Matthew's promise, Shirley was in a good mood and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

"Mrs. Tiny, what do you want from me?"

"Are you planning to return home?"

"Yes. The enemies the master faces are getting stronger and stronger. With my current strength, it is really difficult to help the master in future battles, so I have to become stronger."

In front of Sistini, she didn't have to hide anything.

Anyway, now that she is completely loyal to Matthew, she will use practical actions to wash away the dark history of the past.

"Me too. So can we go back together and practice and compare together?"

Sistine's eyes were full of sincerity.

Because of giving birth to a child, Sistini, who was originally the strongest among the contractors, is now only average.

This made her always very uncomfortable.

Surante, in particular, has lived and practiced with Matthew in Poseidon Temple for ten years. Not only has her strength surpassed Sistini's, but her relationship has even become equal to Sistini's.

This is under the premise that Sistine gave birth to two children for Matthew.

She is getting stronger!

She didn't want to be a vase next to Matthew.

Shirley saw through Sistini's thoughts at a glance, and she only hesitated for a second before nodding in agreement.

"Okay! Let's forget the past and move forward together."

Sistini happily stretched out her palm, and Shirley quickly stretched out her white palm to give Sistini a high-five.

Three high fives in a row means the agreement has been reached.

What Shirley just said seemingly casually actually had a deep meaning.

Her condition is very simple. It is of course no problem to practice with Sistini, but the dark history of the past cannot be mentioned again.

Sistini naturally agreed to such a simple condition.

Matthew's ability to accept Shirley means that she will no longer be a threat, so she naturally doesn't need to worry.

The human heart is very delicate. As long as you surrender once, it will be very easy to continue to obey in the future.

Although Shirley once thought about assassinating Matthew, she gave up at the last moment, otherwise Sistini would never agree to let her go.

While high-fiving, the two once-enemies finally put aside their old grudges, left the palace together, and headed north to go home.

Returning with them were several other contractors.

Except for Surante who stayed in the royal capital Phoenix City, everyone else left.

Most people returned home to practice, but Melda chose to go to Dolan Swamp.

The effect of lizard-man training in a swamp environment is far superior to that of other terrains, so there is nothing wrong with her choice.

Dolan Swamp is not far from Lundebel. It can be reached in a day at a quick pace, which is also convenient when you need to return home.

In addition to practicing, Melda had two purposes for returning to Dolan Swamp.

The first is to gather the clan members.

Most of the clansmen in Dolan Swamp followed their clan leader to the Kingdom of Phoenix, but some clansmen living in remote areas did not know about this change and still stayed in the swamp.

Melda practices there and will guide her tribe to a new place of residence when she has the opportunity.

The Lizard People's new settlement was near a wetland, where Matthew allocated a very spacious piece of land for them to live in.

This place called the Melda Dominion has fertile soil and convenient transportation. The lizard people living here can maintain their traditional way of life, or they can choose to integrate into human civilization.

Because the Taize chief fulfilled Matthew's order very faithfully and buried Gurira's [-] troops in the swamp, Matthew not only fulfilled his promise, but also doubled the amount on the original basis, allowing the lizard people to have their own territory.

Although the territory is not large, the living environment is very suitable, making it a paradise for the lizard people.

With such a favor, it goes without saying that Taizé is grateful to Matthew.

Although there is still a long way to go before lizard people can fully integrate into human society, at least the first step is taken in the right direction.

Taizé’s venture into Matthew was a complete success, and now it’s time to reap the rewards.

Some people were proud while others were disappointed. After the ceremony, Zalandin quickly left the Phoenix Kingdom.

Although his personal visit to congratulate him showed goodwill, Matthew didn't care about it.

Matthew even asked Zalandin directly, how to compensate for the damage he caused to the empire during the war?

Zalandin never expected that even though he had lowered his posture so much, Matthew still refused to give up.

He was attacking the empire, not Matthew's Kingdom of Phoenix, so why did he insist on insisting on it?You are not the emperor of the empire!

This is the difference in the way of thinking.

In Zalandin's view, he had already lowered his profile. In the past, as long as he was willing to come to congratulate him, he could easily be forgiven for such trivial matters as invading the empire and plundering the population, and he would even be given a lot of property.

He came to visit with a thousand horses and nearly ten thousand cattle and sheep. According to custom, the ruler who accepted the gift would return the gift at least three times the actual value of the gift he brought.

But Matthew didn't.

Matthew accepted the gift unceremoniously, and then turned to ask Zalandin, "Dear Huoxun Khan, I have received the down payment of your war compensation. When will the balance be paid?"

Matthew said these words seriously, which almost made Zalandin faint on the spot.

Why doesn't Matthew follow the rules?

Although he repeatedly insisted that this was not war reparations but a congratulatory gift, Matthew fell on deaf ears.

Zalandin repeatedly hinted to Matthew that according to the rules of the grassland, receiving gifts should return gifts.

After Matthew played dumb several times, Zalandin finally couldn't bear it and made it clear that Matthew must return the favor.

Matthew thought for a moment and gave Zalandin an unforgettable gift in return.

A book, "Claire's War", which records the history of the empire's conquests.And it also includes the latest version of the record of conquering the Kingdom of Perth.

Matthew's meaning is very clear. You are a defeated country and you are not qualified to speak like this to a victorious country.

Zalandin was completely speechless.

Although he couldn't figure out why Matthew did this, he at least understood one thing. Matthew really didn't intend to forgive him.

He left angrily and returned to the grassland.

If it hadn't been for last year's food harvest and the severe drought on the grassland that left him without enough food to start a war, he would have led 30 cavalry to teach Matthew a lesson when he returned.

However, after fully considering the strength comparison and comprehensive national strength of the two sides, Zalandin still endured this resentment.

Of course, he remembered this grudge.

Watching Zalandin leave, Matthew certainly knew that he had an enemy, but he didn't care at all.

Although there are no Maxim machine guns in this era, the well-trained escorts and the magic corps composed of a large number of magic soldiers can still make the prairie people sing and dance.

The method of training the magic corps comes from the divine world and has long been lost among the human race. But as luck would have it, Matthew has the information to train the magic corps.

Before, he did not have a sufficient population base to screen enough candidates, and the establishment of a magic corps required tons of resources, which he could not afford when he was still a count.

Now that he owns a kingdom with considerable strength, he is naturally qualified to form a magic corps.

There are many things supporting the Magic Corps, but the most important ones are the Alchemy Workshop, the Magic Academy and the Potion Factory.These projects have been started in accordance with Matthew's requirements.

Matthew, who has always been considerate of people's sentiments, has very strict requirements this time. He requires all workers to work in 2-3 shifts. People can stop, but the project cannot stop.

The three major buildings must be built as quickly as possible.

After he brings his fiancée back, he will officially start the training of the Magic Corps.

After the emergence of these Maxims from another world, the prairie people will return to the right track of singing and dancing.

By then Zalandin will become a clown and no longer be able to pose a threat to Matthew.

Such a clown's delusional attempt to reconcile with Matthew is simply a fool's errand.

**The ceremony ended and it was almost afternoon.

Matthew stood on the terrace of the palace, watching the guests from all over the world exiting, with a smile on his lips.

Man, as long as you stand on the high ground of power and taste the sweetness of power, you will never go back.

Unless...he has a higher pursuit.

Of course, Matthew has a pursuit beyond power, which is to help the people around him survive the catastrophe at the end of the era that will come in the future.

People have infinite possibilities when they are alive, but they are just a corpse when they die.

He prefers the feeling of having power to the rise and fall of dynasties and power struggles.

Those outside will definitely not believe it. In fact, he does not have much demand for power in his heart.

Not to mention the emperor, even the king, he was just barely doing it.

Just as he was meditating, a voice announced behind him that the Marquis of Bourne had arrived.

Matthew turned and stepped forward, very politely asked the Marquis to take a seat, and poured wine for him himself.

Marquis Bourne opened his mouth, but found that even though he had thousands of words, he could not say a single word.

Matthew did not make it difficult for the Marquis. He smiled and said: "Uncle Bourne, there is no king or marquis here. I am still the little Matthew who will be happy after receiving a long sword and a book."

The sword and book Matthew mentioned were gifts from Marquis Bourne on his sixth birthday.

Marquis Bourne did not expect Matthew to still remember these two ordinary small objects. His throat was trembling and his voice was a little excited.

"I didn't expect you to remember."

"Of course I remember."

Matthew solemnly said: "Uncle Bourne, I will set off to pick up Aisanya after a little preparation. In the meantime, I have something to ask you."

Marquis Bourne said excitedly: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will try my best to do it!"

"Uncle Bourne, I would like to appoint you as the prime minister of the kingdom. During my absence, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the kingdom."

Chapter 183 Fiancée

No one knows the name of the Blaze Witch, no one knows where she comes from, and no one knows her age.

Perhaps for this old guy whose life span can easily be measured in tens of millions of years, things like name and age have little meaning.

But everyone knows that the Blazing Witch is not easy to mess with.

Fire is divided into five levels. If distinguished by temperature and energy level, the weakest is red, followed by yellow, then blue, then white. The hottest flame is said to be colorless and transparent.

The flames that the Blaze Witch can control are almost transparent and pale white.Some people say that the flames she can control are already transparent, but this is just hearsay and no one knows about it.

On a high tower in the Blazing Witch Palace, a young girl with long light blue hair and delicate and picturesque features sat there silently, holding a magic book in her hand and reading.

This girl is Matthew's fiancée Aishania.

It has been several months since the teacher forcibly brought me here.

It is difficult for her to receive information from the outside world here.

She even felt that she was not here to practice, but to go to jail.

According to the teacher, her talent in magic is very good, even if she previously majored in a few partial magic systems such as ice and darkness.

As long as she can make progress, the teacher will get precious materials to help her cleanse her body.

Thinking of this, she felt helpless.

She is afraid of fire and resists flames from the depths of her soul. However, the teacher is best at fire magic.Although the teacher also knows the ice and dark elements, he is unwilling to train her in this direction.

When she was a child, she witnessed a maid being burned on a cross for having an affair with someone and giving birth to a child.

The sight of the maid screaming and turning into ashes left a deep mark on the young Aishanya's heart.
