Seeing that Matthew wanted to send equipment, Diana quickly refused.
"Master Matthew, I cannot accept this thing. Although we have entered into a contract, this contract has not brought you any benefits. I cannot accept such a precious gift without merit or remuneration."
Matthew said with a straight face: "I will give equipment to every contractor after signing a contract. How can you be an exception? Take it!"
Diana was a little hesitant. This epee was obviously a level stronger than the demonized Austrian steel epee she was currently using. Although the other ring looked simple in style, she could feel the sacred power contained in the ring.
Both pieces of equipment greatly improved her.
But she really couldn't accept free gifts.
After arguing with each other, the two sides reached a compromise again. Diana insisted that the weapon she was using now was more convenient and refused to accept the weapon gifted by Matthew.
She received the magic ring.
Matthew grabbed her hand and put the ring on her hand.
After comparing the thickness of her fingers, Matthew put the ring, which exuded milky white holy light, on her ring finger.
There is no explanation for wearing a ring in this world, it is purely his bad taste.
He didn't notice that Diana was stunned when she saw this scene, and her cheeks turned crimson.
Chapter 042 Fortunately he/she doesn’t know
Matthew didn't pay attention to Diana's expression. After putting on the ring, he put the heavy sword back into his backpack that he hadn't given away yet, and then walked towards the core area with Diana.
Just as he was walking forward, the system popped up a prompt again.
[The ambition to sign a contract with the Orange Contractor has been completed. Because of a tricky method, only half of the reward will be given. The other half will be given after the two parties conclude a real contract]
[Reputation increased, currently 666]
Yeah, that's okay, it's better than nothing.
Matthew happily accepted the reward.The free stuff, even just a steamed bun, is delicious.
After receiving the reward, Matthew's level rose to level 18. Although he did not unlock new features this time, he unlocked a bunch of new achievements.
[Orange Lover], [Contract Master], [Color Collection Master]...
Earning achievements will provide Matthew with additional resources.He can use these resources flexibly or directly sell them for money.
Of course, selling money directly is very stupid. No one would do this unless they were crazy and poor.
Now that Matthew is hooked up with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, he is not short of money, so he will naturally not resell precious strategic resources.
Looking at Diana beside him, the corners of Matthew's mouth raised slightly.She may not realize that even a contract without any substantive content will change the relationship between the two parties.
In the past, the distance between Diana and him when walking side by side was about 1.2 meters, which was further than the standard social distance.The distance between the two sides is now about 60-70 centimeters, and she didn't notice it at all.
The one worn on the ring finger of his left hand made Matthew's heart beat faster.He suddenly remembered the three criteria for choosing a mate that he told Sistine.
A simple summary is that he is strong, has good looks and a good personality.The seemingly harsh conditions were completely met by Diana.
Is this the wife of his dreams?
Looking at Diana's profile, Matthew's heartbeat accelerated again.
He had been running for survival before, and he was still engaged, so he had never thought about this.
A few days ago, when he was about to come of age, he wrote a letter to the Bourne family where his fiancée lived, asking politely if he wanted to fulfill the engagement, but he received no response.
He understood that the Bourne family did not dare to fulfill the engagement because of his reputation as the heartbroken devil.
The gap between engagement and marriage is sometimes a piece of paper, sometimes it is a mountain.Matthew wasn't offended.
At least the other party considered his face and did not refuse directly.
In this case, just find a time to ask the Bourne family to come to Rundebel and terminate the engagement.
When my father was still alive, the relationship between the two families was quite good, so the marriage was arranged.Since the other party has no intention of fulfilling the engagement, and Matthew doesn't want to marry a girl he doesn't know at all, let's forget it.
It's good to get together and break up easily, that's good too.
There is no need to break off the engagement publicly to make everyone unable to step down.
When matters at home are settled, Matthew will invite the Marquis of Bourne to come to Rundebell.The stated reason is of course not to discuss a marriage contract, but to invite the other party to visit the miracles.
Although his nominal fiancée is the daughter of a marquis, she cannot inherit the title. At best, she is considered a noble girl, and her status is not necessarily much higher than Diana's.
Although Diana was a commoner, she was a high-ranking cleric whose status was equivalent to that of an earl-level noble. She was a perfect match for him.
Matthew believes in his own vision more than blind box betting on his wife.
The only obstacle is that Diana has publicly sworn to serve the Holy Light for the rest of her life and will not get married, which is the biggest trouble.
Matthew hated the rotten religious rules.
Is it fair for a good girl to be left a widow for the rest of her life?Such a beautiful and generous girl with a good figure and strong self-esteem should be married and taken home and loved well.
Seeing Diana's slender white thighs exposed outside the armor, Matthew sincerely admired her.
"You will never get tired of marrying and playing with your wife for a whole year."
This is his highest compliment.
Deanna didn't pay attention to Matthew's gaze, but her heartbeat was also very fast.
She is not an ordinary person, to be precise, she is not even a pure human being.She is a descendant of the God-human race and a child of the Holy Light.
A long, long time ago, there was no tragically thick barrier between the human world and the divine world.
The gods at that time were not as powerful as they are now, but human heroes were much more powerful than they are now.
The most powerful humans can kill gods with their own strength.And young gods often marry beautiful human girls.
In that era known as the Gods, gods and humans mingle (literally) and create countless epic stories together.
But after two consecutive Ragnarok wars, the world collapsed, the passage connecting the two worlds completely collapsed, and the two worlds were completely separated. The place where humans live is called the material plane, and the world where gods live is called the heaven.
Diana's ancestor, if traced back tens of thousands of years ago, should be the third child of Balder, the God of Light.
Although this young god died in the war, his bloodline was passed down in the Ediacaran plane.
It's just that after tens of thousands of years, God's bloodline became thinner and thinner, almost to zero.
According to legend, anyone who is a descendant of God may awaken the power of God, but the chance is pitifully low.At least not in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Ediacara plane.
Diana had long forgotten that she was a descendant of the God-human race, but Matthew's actions just now awakened the memory of her youth.
According to the custom of the gods and humans, if a man successfully proposes to a woman, he can put the engagement ring on the ring finger as an oath of sovereignty.
Fortunately, Matthew is not a human being and doesn't know about this.
Thinking of this, Diana felt happy.
She also thought about changing the ring to another finger, but doing so was a bit too deliberate. Maybe Matthew would run out of curiosity to look up relevant information when he found out, which would make it even more troublesome.
Since Matthew doesn't know the meaning of wearing the ring on the ring finger, it's hard to be confused.He didn't know, and she pretended not to know, which meant it didn't happen.
The two of them arrived at the core area in silence and saw the central functional building.
The sign hanging on the building was blank, and the system prompted Matthew to name it.
Matthew's head is getting big. Sister System, please give me a random name. Don't let me pick it up.
The system was like a cold machine, prompting again without emotion, asking Matthew to name it.
Matthew saw Diana standing next to him and quickly handed over the naming rights to Diana.
"Deanna, do me a small favor and give this building a name."
"Ah, but I'm not very good at naming names."
"Do me a favor, please! You can call me whatever you want."
"How about calling it Holy Light Sanctuary?" Diana said calmly.
Matthew: "..."
Seeing Matthew's helpless expression, Diana felt a little embarrassed, "I told you I can't give names."
"Let's call it the Home Complex."
Matthew calmly gave him a name that was almost like he didn’t have a name.
Chapter 043 This is the land given by God
As long as it's the name he chooses, even if it's Sashuo, Sistini and the others will agree.
So, the name was adopted.
Seeing that the sign hanging on the building changed to [Home Complex], Matthew strode into the complex.
Shirley and the maids were sitting in the lounge area of the hall drinking tea.
Next to them, there are two puppet dolls. These dolls have no emotions and are just machines that obey orders and do things.
Their presence can save home members from many trivial matters.Normal people enjoy the feeling of being served more than serving others.
The complex is the core control area of the home, where you can see the entire home through an oversized crystal ball.
Matthew takes over control, carefully observing the home's permissions.
In his home, he has the highest authority and is almost omnipotent.He can use the communication function to contact any contractor in his home without distance restrictions.
Under him, there are many positions in Homeland.
The first is the home manager. The manager has very high authority, second only to the home owner.
Because the home has many functions and requires careful planning of the construction plan, Matthew gave Surante the general management authority.
The appointment was unopposed.
Surante's calculation ability and planning ability are simply incomparable to others. Matthew, who is closest to him, can only barely understand, and it is very difficult for others to even understand Surante's intentions.
She is a perfect fit for being the general manager.
All the maids, including Sistine, voted in favor.
Matthew turned his inquiring eyes to Diana, "Diana, what do you think?"
"Ah? Are you calling me?" Diana, who was carefully observing the crystal ball, didn't expect Matthew to call her name, and was a little confused.
"Otherwise, is there a second Diana here?" Matthew smiled brightly, and his mood had never been so good.
Not only did he sign the first orange contractor (although it was a blank sign), but he also took advantage of Diana's ignorance to put the ring on her ring finger.
Although there is a long way to go, Matthew already considers Diana as a candidate wife in his heart.As long as she keeps her promise not to marry, it's okay. If she does get married, she must marry him.
Feelings can be cultivated slowly, concepts can be gradually changed, but the candidate has been determined.
Now that Matthew asked her to express her position, Diana did not pretend to be pretentious. She chose to agree without hesitation.Everyone agreed, so there was no point in her jumping out to object.
She was just a little surprised. What was the use of this guy Matthew asking her to express his position?
She is a contractor in name only.Does Matthew really expect her to help him?
Little did she know that this was Matthew's strategy.
This is the first stage, so I won’t go in.
As long as you accept it and mess around casually, you will have to go in sooner or later.
Although Diana simply nodded in agreement, this action meant that she accepted the identity of the contractor.
The corners of Matthew's mouth raised slightly, as long as he accepted it.
Boil the frog in warm water, little by little.
Deanna didn't know that she was being PUAed by Matthew, and she felt that Matthew was trying to show respect for her.Although she didn't need this kind of deliberate respect, respect was better than hostility.
After carefully accepting the authority of the general manager, Surante began to study the architectural layout and development direction of his home.
The functions of the home are very complete. Matthew initially thought it was a city, but after taking a closer look, he found that it was simply a small world.
More than 70% of the world's most precious minerals are found here, and missing minerals can also be exchanged through special shops.
There are many already constructed buildings in the home.For example, there are complex buildings, several farms, several mines, and a magic crystal vein.
In addition to these production buildings, there are also special shops, void taverns, time and space portals, military camps, guilds and other buildings.
Matthew said that Homeland was the artifact he got. Diana didn't quite believe it at the time, but now they had to believe it.
