……

"I didn't find Su Guo."

In the face of Samantha's excited questioning, Matthew replied calmly:

"But I did find some clues related to the Soviet State in the south, and I got a part-time job called "Equilibrium Emissary", I don't know if it is what you call "the secret treasure of the power of life and death", but it does have the function of balancing all things."

Samantha's eyes twinkled.

She nodded slowly, then smiled with relief:

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape."

Matthew shook his head:

"Everyone has their own obsessions, and that's normal."

Samantha bit her lip and didn't say anything more.

The two chatted for a while.

Samantha and Ella begin work on restoring a shrine on the thirteenth floor of the hive.

Only the remnants of divine power remained in the shrine, and the statue of the goddess of the moon had long since disappeared, but fortunately, they had already prepared, and after completing a series of restoration rituals, Samantha took out a new statue of the goddess and placed it in.

Wow!

A white wave of light rippled out from above the statue.

Matthew could clearly feel that it was the divine power of the Moonlight Goddess!

"Althea's condition seems to have improved a lot?"

He thought to himself.

"Okay, after the shrine is repaired, we as moon descenders can directly teleport here, saving the trouble of hiking."

Samantha pulled her hair:

"I'm going to go back to cleaning the hive in a week or two, and in the meantime, I'm going to have to do a lot of preparation, and I'll call out to Clegg then."

Matthew nodded:

"Just ask Ella to let me know."

He felt a slight sense of crisis.

The orc Clegg is clearly very powerful, and it is still unknown what her relationship with Samantha is.

If Clegg also joins the Moonhaze Glade, then Matthew's importance to Althea may be diminished.

Before the moonlight goddess "empathizes", Matthew must show his worth.

Then the next time you clean up the hive, it is the best time to show it.

……

Following.

Matthew led the she-goat to work as usual.

But today, as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Zeller, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Good morning, Matthew."

Zeller greeted Matthew as he sorted out the papers on the table:

"How's the office? Can you adapt? ”

Matthew responded with a smile:

"Everything is fine here, it's what my dream job should look like."

Zeller smiled, then glanced at his she-goat.

Matthew immediately explained:

"I'm learning Malevolation."

A hint of envy flashed in Zeller's eyes:

"So your malicious form chose a goat, right? It's a good choice, unlike us warlocks, what awakens is what it is, I hate frogs the most, but a lot of my abilities are related to frogs. ”

Matthew shrugged:

"But I occasionally want to be like a warlock, and I've heard that a lucky warlock can master new spells even if he eats, sleeps, and drinks saliva."

Zeller explained with a smile in his eyes:

"Warlocks usually go through the kind of stage you say, but that happens in adolescence when your abilities are rapidly improving, but before that, you don't know how much pressure and stimulation we are under."

said.

He looked at the she-goat with some confusion:

"I always felt that she wasn't in good shape."

Matthew said embarrassedly:

"She was a little frightened last night, and I don't know if I can get through it."

Yesterday I came back from the cemetery.

Although the female goat was not frightened to death, her mental state was extremely depressed.

Matthew sensed it and noticed that her pulse was weak, and then he took another look with his vision to confirm that the goat's soul was also dim.

This sounded the alarm bell in Matthew's heart -

Although they can get along happily with the undead, most ordinary living creatures are still very afraid of the undead.

Zombie swarms are enough to scare people out just by appearing around ordinary people.

We must further strengthen the management of cemeteries and oak forests.

More warning signs are already on the way.

As for this she-goat.

Matthew wasn't sure how long she would last longer, but hopefully he would be able to hold out until the day he fully comprehended the Malevolent Transfiguration.

The two were talking.

Rhaegar appeared in her pajamas with coffee.

"Riverside Village's problem solved?"

Rhaegar asked Zeller.

The latter nodded:

"The villagers' emotions have been calmed down, and I promise them that nothing like this will happen in the future."

Rhaegar greeted Matthew and motioned for him to come over as well, then continued to ask:

"So, what happened that I almost couldn't collect taxes in the second half of last year?"

Zeller Says:

"The tax collector we sent to Riverside Village was Little Patton, and as soon as he got there, he slept with all the women of the village chief's house."

Rhaegar subconsciously reacted:

"So the village chief is annoyed and angry?"

Zeller waved his hand:

"The village chief is voluntary, and so are the women of his family."

Rhaegar asked suspiciously:

"Then how did it happen that the villagers of Riverside Village refused to pay taxes and beat up Little Paton?"

Zeller also had a strange look on his face:

"The strange thing about this is that little Patton and the women of the village chief's house suddenly found themselves infected with willow disease the next day, and the whole crotch was covered with dense scabies. At that time, he was mad and went directly to the village chief to theorize. ”

Rhaegar took a sip of coffee and frowned:

"He wants to ask the village chief for compensation?"

Zeller still shook his head:

"No, he proposed two options for the village chief, first, he wanted to pull off the village chief's crotch in public to see if he had similar symptoms; Second, if the village chief disagrees with the first item, then he will have to go to the village chief's women again and take at least one of them with him. ”

When Matthew heard this, he was shocked by the tax officer's brain circuitry.

Rhaegar was also a little confused.

"Afterwards, I found little Patton, and he gave the explanation that since he had been infected with the flower willow disease, he might as well have a good time, and when he returned to the town, he could not infect anyone else, so he had to take one of the village chief's women."

Zeller probably dealt with this kind of thing for the first time, and he looked very speechless:

"Of course the village chief disagreed, he claimed that he and his women were clean, and there was an argument between the two sides, and the dispute soon escalated into a conflict, and you know the rest of the matter, little Patton was driven back to Rolling Stone, and only brought back half of the taxes, and the remaining half was pressed into his own hands by the village chief."

"But the village chief didn't seem to be trying to resist the taxes, and as soon as I arrived at Riverside Village, he handed over the rest of the taxes, dragged me into the house, and took off his crotch."

Speaking of this, Zeller couldn't help coughing twice:

"I saw with my own eyes that the village chief and his women did not suffer from flower willow disease."

Rhaegar tapped five fingers on the desk:

"So little Parton is lying?"

Zeller shook his head:

"Not necessarily, we all know little Paton's character, although he is lustful, he has always been very reliable.

Ms. Liz is still very good at teaching her son, and little Patton, like his older brother Brad, has never made a mistake in his role over the past few years.

This time, it may have been stimulated by willow disease, and the behavior became so perverse afterwards.

I checked his body and it was indeed very severe scabies.

According to little Paton, it came out after that night.

The whole thing is incredible.

I couldn't get rid of all the acne with the primary healing scroll, and I suspect someone is doing something in the dark.

But after spending several days in Riverside Village, I didn't get anything extra, so I came back first. ”

Rhaegar nodded with a heavy face.

"Could it have something to do with little Bamo?"

Little Bamo is the sorcerer who was suspected of kidnapping Siv and killing his own father.

After he fled Rolling Stone, he was never seen again.

Zeller said uncertainly:

"I can't rule out this suspicion, but my divination didn't show any relevant traces, the other party is very cunning, and there is a high probability that he just tried to run away, I was worried that this was involving my energy, so I didn't continue to investigate. I arranged for little Parton to rest at home for a while, eat some herbs, and visit him later. ”

Rhaegar glanced at Matthew:

"Spell Advisor, what do you think?"

Matthew said seriously:

"I think Zeller handled it very well."

Rhaegar couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Anything else?"

He asked Zeller.

Zeller took out a piece of papyrus and placed it in front of Rhaegar :

"This is the latest official letter from the Jade Court, and they mentioned in the letter that a team of shadow leopards is on their way."

Matthew raised his hand and asked:

"When did I hear that?"

Zeller said with a smile:

"Yes, before you were about to leave south, the Jade Court sent a team of Shadow Leopards to receive our prisoners.

Unfortunately, not long after the group of shadow leopards left the Jade Garden, they were attacked by a green dragon, and the entire army was finally wiped out.

Afterwards, the Jade Court investigated for a long time and wasted a lot of time.

Eventually, a letter was sent to us that a second team had been sent to receive the criminals of the Brotherhood of Silverfrost. ”

Matthew raised an eyebrow:

"So those arsonists have been in prison for more than a month?"

Rhaegar was angry when he heard this, and he slapped the table hard:

"Reply to the Jade Court, let them add money, and if they don't move faster, I'll sell this group to the necromancers in White Rock City, they also hate arsonists!"

Zeller pouted noncommittally.

Matthew had an idea:

"These criminals are locked up in prison every day with nothing to do?"

Rhaegar asked rhetorically:

"Or else?"

Matthew proposed, expectantly:

"Why don't you let them do the work?

The arsonist is very good at making fiery glue and dragon oil, find an overseer, give them the materials, and let them work for us.

You can't eat and drink for nothing, right?

If you don't think it's appropriate for the arsonists to come into contact with these dangerous objects, let them build a cemetery for me.

I'll let the zombies stare at them, and nothing can go wrong. ”

Rhaegar and Zeller looked at each other.

The former muttered:

"What you said seems to be reasonable."

The latter sighed and said:

"By doing so, it really pays for itself."

Immediately, the two of them said in unison:

"Worthy of a necromancer!"

……

"Finally, according to the Council of Five, the haunting of the Southern Trade Post has intensified, and Howard and several craft workshop owners have repeatedly pressured them.

The Council of Five searched for several Soul Slayer Masters in the town, but none of them solved the problem.

I found out, and the origin of the matter is probably like this-

Since more than 20 days ago, workers have reported that they have seen ghosts in the handicraft workshop.

Strangely, everyone describes the form of the ghost they see differently.

Some people say that they saw a ghost stealing food in the kitchen, and the ghost's body was thin and long, like a noodle that has been stretched infinitely;

Some people say that when he went to the toilet, he saw a ghost, and the latter suddenly startled him when he was excreting, and the next morning, even the toilet in the dry toilet was stolen by a ghost, and the ghost who stole the toilet had no head and would laugh like a child;

Others said that they saw a ghost working on a spinning wheel while working overtime, and the ghost was still asking them why they worked so hard, and were they not afraid of dying of exhaustion? Then the ghost destroyed all the spinning wheels.

At first, Howard and the other workshop owners didn't believe the workers' words.

They strictly ordered the workers to continue working.

Until recent days, Howard himself claimed to have seen ghosts as well.

It's just that the ghosts he sees are different from those of other people.

He said that he met a ghost bride, who fell in love with him at first sight, fell in love with him, and said that on the twentieth of this month, he would come in a ghost carriage and take him away forever.

Howard was so frightened that he spent his days in the city hall making trouble.

The five-member committee was forced to give us the news back. ”

After Zeller finished speaking, he took a large sip of ginger water.

Matthew and Rhaegar didn't react.

In the fantasy world, ghosts and things are commonplace.

Necromancers are the natural enemies of ghosts.

Even Rhaegar can go berserk to ghosts by smearing sword oil.

This kind of thing is really not worth mentioning to them who are transcendent.

"Do you need me to check it out?"

Matthew asked.

Zeller shook his head:

"Not for the time being, this matter is just a routine report of the morning meeting, I'll go first, and if I can't solve it, I'll ask our spell advisor to help."

said.

He packed up his things and walked briskly out of the office hall.

Looking at Zeller's back in the distance.

Matthew was in awe:

"Zeller is really hardworking."

Lei Yan thought so:

"yes, I don't know what would have become of Rolling Rock without him, well, do you want coffee? Mrs. Wesley seemed to be in a good mood today, and she had just the right amount of coffee. ”

Matthew Says:

"Can you have a drink, I'll take it myself in a while, and lend me the newspaper to read?"

"No, this is just here today, I'll go get you the last issue."

Rhaegar got up and walked to the small room in the back.

He then handed over a copy of the League Weekly and three bottles of sword oil to Matthew.

"This time I put a label on it, and you see if there is a market."

Rhaegar said.

Matthew walked to his office with his things and a goat:

"Okay, I'll look into it."

He placed the newspaper on the table and looked at the label on the bottle.

The first bottle is called "Dragon's Tail Sword Oil", and there is a small print underneath that when applied, it can cause an additional massive amount of damage to the tail of the real dragon.

The second bottle is called "Dragon Scale Sword Oil", and there is also a small print underneath it, which, when applied, can deal a lot of extra damage to the scales and other epidermal defenses of the real dragon.

"It looks okay, but the classification is too detailed."

With that in mind, Matthew focused his gaze on the third bottle.

Curiously, the bottle only has a label, and there is no small print underneath it.

"Dragon Root Sword Oil".

Ma Xiu was about to ask, but Rhaegar had already walked in in a hurry, he grabbed the bottle of Dragon Root Sword Oil in three bottles with precision, and then said with an unchanged face:

"Got the wrong one, this bottle wasn't smeared on the sword."

Matthew raised an eyebrow with a playful expression.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Rhaegar takes a nap.

Matthew gets off work.

As he led the she-goat through the hallway, he once again met Mrs. Wesley, who was cleaning.

Matthew greeted her, then gossiped and asked:

"Mrs. Wesley, hasn't your lord had the idea of renewing the strings for so many years?"

Mrs. Wesley immediately replied:

"No, no. Although Rhaegar is a bit of a jerk at times, he is a good lord and a good father, and he has never planned to marry another wife for the sake of Siv. ”

Matthew asked thoughtfully:

"And does he have a mistress outside?"

Mrs. Wesley put up the broom and said with a smile:

"Of course, he's an upright man in his prime, silly boy, how could Rhaegar not have a mistress outside, you should ask how many there are."

Matthew suddenly itched:

"Can you tell us who they are?"

Mrs. Wesley looked at him with a smile:

"Before I can answer this question for you, you have to answer me a question - are you interested in Rhaeggar's mistress? Or are you interested in Rhaeggar? ”

Matthew flatly denied it:

"I'm just interested in gossip."

Mrs. Wesley couldn't help but say:

"Then I can't say it bluntly, I'm very strict, why don't you try to ask Seve about it? She probably knew. ”

Matthew laughed, knowing that the old lady was making fun of herself, and didn't take it to heart, and walked out of the office hall quickly.

Coming to the corridor on the east side of the lord's mansion, before he had taken a few steps, the she-goat suddenly convulsed a few times, and then collapsed weakly.

Matthew bent down to inspect it, then sighed deeply.

There is no help.

At this time, Mrs. Wesley happened to come out with a broom.

"Need help, kid?"

She asked with concern.

"No, please inform the lord and Mr. Zeller, and say that if they are free tonight, I will invite them to my house for dinner."

That's all that is said and done.

Matthew asks Bing to carry the goat.

Then the two quickly left the Lord's Mansion.

……

"Last night's mutton soup was so good!"

Early the next morning.

Rhaegar said to Matthew when he met:

"Brad has never liked to eat mutton, but I see he ate a big bowl yesterday, and so did Seve Peggy, Peggy's craftsmanship is really good, but it's a pity that Li Weiqi went to Gao Yeling, otherwise he would definitely clap his hands."

Matthew barely managed to squeeze out a smile:

"I still prefer the taste of roast lamb leg to mutton soup."

Rhaeggar's gaze moved behind him:

"Another goat?"

Matthew nodded:

"I just bought it in the morning, it's a male goat, and the price is even more expensive."

Rhaegar asked:

"How's your spell doing?"

Matthew sighed and said:

"There hasn't been much progress, after eating the lamb yesterday, it seems to have made a little progress, but I'm not sure if that's my delusion."

Rhaegar probed:

"Why don't you have another meal tonight?"

Matthew sternly refused:

"Impossible!"

"I'm not going to let him be frightened in any way this time."

However, the sky is unpredictable.

When planting trees in the afternoon.

Matthew had tethered the male goat to the woods.

But somehow, this guy actually broke free from the rope and ran away.

Hearing the news, Ah Bing rushed to pursue.

As a result, the man took up his knife and chopped off the head of the male goat.

Wait until Matthew arrives.

This goat's blood is almost gone!

In desperation.

Matthew had to invite friends and family to his home for the whole sheep feast again.

Day 3.

Matthew takes a little lamb to work.

Rhaegar was delighted when he saw it:

"Are you going to change lamb today?"

"Speaking of which, it's quite expensive for you to practice a spell."

Matthew tries to keep a polite smile:

"No, it's just that money is tight and I can't afford to buy an adult goat."

"Do you want to support me a little, my lord?"

"Spell advisors don't have the money to learn spells, so it's not good for Rolling Stone's reputation to spread it?"

Rhaegar shrank his head and continued to read the newspaper.

There are lessons to be learned.

Matthew watched the little lamb very closely.

Wherever he went, he clung to the reins.

In order to prevent the other party from getting off the leash, Matthew constantly tightened the noose.

Ultimately.

Under Matthew's tireless efforts.

After returning from a trip to the toilet.

He found that the little lamb had suffocated to death!

Night.

In Matthew's house, the lights were bright and everyone was eating happily.

Only Matthew wept secretly in his heart.

After a full meal of wine and food.

The crowd was chatting.

That's when it happened.

Matthew's eyes lit up with a warning sign!

……

"Warning: The forces of the Ash Lord have descended, and they will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"

……

Matthew immediately stood up and said to the people who were chatting on the couch:

"Guys, I'm afraid we've got something to do tonight!"

His expression was very serious, but his heart was much more relaxed.

Own lamb.

It's not for nothing!
