……

After listening to Ai Xue's words.

Matthew replied quietly:

"You're really good at laughing."

"Really?"

"Haha......"

Ai Xue smiled unnaturally.

If there were eyebrows in his heart, then Matthew's eyebrows at this time would have been twisted.

I came to visit the City Lord's Mansion today, and it was bad luck that I didn't bump into Rez.

After all, I didn't make an appointment in advance.

He chatted with Rez's daughter with the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect to bump into the script of "Father and Daughter's Filial Piety"!

This Ai Xue looks quite mature, does she dare to talk to a stranger she met for the first time like this?

Matthew only felt weird in his heart.

Isn't she afraid that she will tell Rez with her backhand?

Although it is true that he will not do this, it is because Matthew does not know the character of Reze and does not understand the situation of the Reze family.

In this case, it is not in Matthew's own interest to tell Ai Xue's words to Rez, but it may arouse the suspicion of the city lord.

But at the end of the day.

Ai Xue's behavior is a little too bold!

Matthew thought for a moment.

He didn't want to get mixed up in the muddy waters.

Therefore, after bowing slightly, he was about to take his leave:

"I took the liberty of visiting, and I bothered you."

"Since the Necronomicon matter can't be discussed, I'll leave ...... now."

However, Ai Xue grabbed Matthew's arm in a bit of a hurry.

Under Matthew's watchful eye.

She let go of her grip on his sleeve with some embarrassment.

She put her hands behind her back a little bewildered, her face turned red as an apple, but she still insisted on saying to Matthew:

"Wait, you can sit down again."

"Shall I pour you tea, or coffee?"

"This is the most basic form of hospitality, and I'm afraid that my father will blame me for being rude if he finds out."

Matthew smiled playfully:

"Does Your Excellency still care what the Lord of Rez thinks of you?"

Ai Xue was silent for a moment.

Her face was getting redder and her breathing was becoming more rapid.

Matthew just watched her quietly.

Soon.

She disarmed and surrendered:

"Okay, okay!"

"I hate lying!"

"I don't care about hospitality at all, and I don't care what my father thinks, I just hope that Your Excellency will stay in your study for a while so that I can find what I want."

Speaking of which.

Ai Xue's statement suddenly became clear and smooth, she probably really didn't know how to lie, and the contrast between before and after was immediately impressive:

"My father usually doesn't allow me to enter this study, even if he leaves White Rock City."

"The only exception to this is when you're hosting guests."

"To him, there are not many people in White Rock City who can be regarded as distinguished guests, as for the outside, heh, who would want to deal with the leader of the Heavenly Killing Necromancer?"

"So, now you understand what I mean?"

Matthew shook his head expressionlessly:

"I'm sorry, I don't understand, and I don't want to."

"It's time for me to go, Ms. Aixue."

Ai Xue said urgently:

"You're important to me!"

"There aren't many distinguished guests like you all year round!"

"It just so happens that my father is not in White Rock City right now, and now is the best opportunity."

"I don't need you to do anything else for me, I just pray that you can stay in this study for a few more minutes, okay?"

"He hid something in his previous study, and that thing was important to me."

"Just stand here, just say a few words and fool the housekeeper outside."

"Please......"

Ai Xue pleaded and stuck to Matthew's side.

Seeing that Matthew was still indifferent.

The roots of her ears were slightly red, and she leaned forward again, exhaling like an orchid in Matthew's ear:

"If you promise me...... I—I can let you touch ......"

Hear this.

Matthew almost blew up, and he hurriedly jumped away with a step back!

I met a bump.

Matthew exclaimed in his heart.

Although this Ai Xue is indeed a bit beautiful, her figure is really hot.

But she talks to a necromancer about this?

Isn't that insulting!

For a qualified necromancer, seduction is not as good as bribing a few high-quality bones.

Even the level of lust proposed by the other party is too low......

Matthew shook his head:

"Ma'am, please respect yourself, I'm not a casual person."

"I came here with only one purpose, and since the current goal cannot be achieved, I can only choose to leave this path."

That being said.

But Matthew's legs seemed to be welded to the ground, motionless.

Of course, he wasn't waiting for Ai Xue to raise the level of color lure.

Rather, it is hinting at the other person's own real needs.

Sure enough.

Although Ai Xue looked a little unreasonable, she quickly understood what Matthew meant.

She bit her lip for a moment.

Suddenly decisively said:

"Under normal circumstances, you really don't qualify for the way the Book of Dead is made."

"But if you're willing to stay in the den for a little longer."

"I can give you a very special access channel, and you can state in advance that it may not be successful, but it will ultimately point to what you want."

Matthew wasn't fooled easily.

The other party just asked to kill herself, and it was her father and brother who killed her, and now she suddenly changed her story and claimed that she could provide a channel?

He was highly skeptical of the woman's words.

However, he did not directly refute Ai Xue's words.

just suddenly changed the conversation and said:

"Ma'am, have you ever thought that your father was willing to open the study to you when a distinguished guest arrived, because he installed a surveillance spell in the study?"

"Everything you just said is likely to be known to him."

As soon as this statement came out.

Ai Xue's face immediately turned extremely pale.

She stammered:

"We ...... just now"

Matthew unceremoniously dissociated himself and said:

"There's no us, just you."

"I'm just a guest looking for a way to make the Necronomicon."

"From beginning to end, you're talking to yourself."

"If your father asks him in the future, he will only point the finger at you!"

Ai Xue's face became even paler, and she even leaned back a little weakly, and then sat down on the desk.

Accompany this action.

Her white thighs were exposed from her robe, and the countless spring rays that trembled with it were even more dizzying.

But Matthew didn't squint.

He looked into Ai Xue's eyes very sincerely:

"But luckily, you met me."

"Even if your father had installed a surveillance spell in his study, I could have erased all of the records I had just made—if I was willing to do so."

Ai Xue's arm on the desk suddenly tightened, and her whole person's center of gravity also moved forward:

"Really?"

There was still a bit of suspicion in her tone.

Matthew quietly turns on the authority of holiness, which makes every word he says more believable.

"Of course, like you, I don't like to lie."

Matthew said sincerely.

Ai Xue let out a long sigh of relief, and she looked at Matthew eagerly:

"Then you must delete everything I just said."

"Otherwise, if my father finds out, I'll be finished!"

Matthew blinked quietly:

"Then it's up to you to perform."

Ai Xue lowered her head in embarrassment and fell into a short period of contemplation.

Look at the woman in front of you.

Matthew felt a little guilty in the depths of his heart.

Of course, what he just said was to scare the other party-

As soon as he entered the study, Matthew looked at it with balanced perception.

There are no monitoring spells here.

There were only a few glittering points of light, and most of them were extraordinary items.

It could be Rez's collection, or it could be something else.

Such a simple technique is difficult to take effect in the face of ordinary people.

But the woman in her thirties in front of her easily believed all of Matthew's words.

As he had previously perceived.

Ai Xue's temperament looks very mature, and her body is also ripe.

But her mind is like a girl who has just opened her love, unbelievably deceitful.

Maybe it has something to do with the deformed environment in which the other party is located.

Matthew had heard about it for a long time.

There is a part of the necromancer in White Rock City who are very eccentric, they are innocent like children, perhaps because of the lack of human sophistication in the environment.

But at this time.

Matthew suddenly noticed that on the data bar, his ability to be called a wife killer was shining!

"You're married?"

He couldn't help but blurt out his tone, a little stunned.

Ai Xue, who was pondering, nodded subconsciously, and then she was stunned for a moment:

"yes......"

"Wait, how do you know?"

Now that he has installed the magic stick, Matthew naturally has to perform it to the end.

At that moment he pretended to be mysterious and said:

"It's not uncommon for mages to know the prophet."

Ai Xue is certainly not completely stupid.

She just seems to be unsympathetic, and she still has a high degree of acumen in the professional field:

"But you're a necromancer, aren't you?"

"Isn't it a well-established fact that necromancers are inherently at odds with the realm of prophecy?"

Matthew didn't say committal with a smile:

"There are always exceptions."

He didn't explain much, but this move added a bit of mystery to Ai Xue's heart.

Ai Xue's eyes became brighter and brighter as she looked at Matthew.

Matthew didn't know what was going on in the other party's head, so in order to avoid the situation getting out of control, he simply corrected the topic bluntly:

"Let's talk about that channel."

"You say it first, and I'll make the final decision based on what you say."

"Trust me, I won't let you suffer, after all, I'm not a person who likes to take advantage."

Ai Xue nodded.

She leaned into Matthew's ear and whispered:

"According to the rules of White Rock City, no one is allowed to divulge the production method of the Book of the Dead, and violators will be punished in various forms, and because the punishment is extremely severe, no one dares to risk such a thing."

"But like you said, there are always exceptions."

"As far as I know, there was a traitor in White Rock City many years ago, and he was of high status before the accident, so he must have mastered the production of the Necronomicon."

"Due to the extremely serious circumstances he committed, and he was finally arrested by the Seven Holy Alliance, so with the interference of many parties, that traitor was imprisoned in Hesuo Mountain Prison."

"If you really have what it takes, try to find out how to make the Necronomicon from that traitor."

Traitor?

Matthew's eyes lit up.

Before, he thought that most of what Ai Xue said would not be reliable, but after listening to it, he suddenly ignited a little hope!

The other party's analysis actually makes a lot of sense.

Almost all the necromancers in the entire south are gathered in White Rock City, and it is simply rare for someone like Matthew to go alone and make a name for himself.

So in the years that passed.

Hardly anyone asked about the traitor.

"Hessoyama is a good place......"

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

It's time to head to the prison, where he was holding the queen of the Giza before being captured by Hera and trained in it.

I don't know what shape it has become.

And the queen has been locked up for so long.

The devil knows what will happen to the Giza near the Watchmen Heights!

Matthew thought about it, though.

Now that the Alliance has taken over Cross City and the Overwatch Heights, those astral pirates who have a little brains should not dare to go over and look for trouble.

They may have retreated to the north of the Helen Mountains by now.

Even if a new queen is chosen, I can't say for sure.

But no matter what.

You can't continue to waste your knowledge points!

When you think about the value of knowledge points.

Matthew was eager to rush to Mount Hesso and let Alexander and Hera let them go.

Come back to your senses.

He smelled a strong fragrance—

Ai Xue was looking at herself blankly.

Matthew coughed lightly:

"Don't worry."

"Your father won't know what you just said."

"And from now on, I'll continue to stay in the study for ten minutes, and I'll leave when the ten minutes are up."

"If your father asks later, I will say that I have a good conversation with you, and we discussed some things about the customs of White Rock City in the study, and I hope that Rolling Rock and White Rock City can try to cooperate with each other and something......"

After hearing this, Ai Xue suddenly showed gratitude.

She didn't say anything, though.

Instead, he plunged headlong into all corners of the study and couldn't wait to find it.

That thing seemed really important to the lady in front of her.

In the beginning.

She's still pretending to put things back in their place when they've been removed.

But soon.

She just rummaged through the boxes and turned the cabinets upside down!

Time.

The inside of the study was messy.

It's like two people just got into a fight with you......

Looking at Matthew's brows.

But he promised Ai Xue before.

He could only remain silent.

Seven or eight minutes passed like this, and Ai Xue had already made a mess of the study.

But she still didn't look like she was getting anything.

Her hair had become a little messy, fine beads of sweat had appeared on the back of her fair neck and forehead, and the thin robes had formed dull patches of color against her skin.

Matthew glanced at her a few times, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"What the hell are you looking for?"

Bang dang!

Ai Xue replied as she opened the drawer at the bottom of her desk:

"I'm looking for my husband."

Yes?

Matthew's brain was down for almost a few seconds.

Ai Xue's faint voice followed:

"Can you help me find my husband?"

"After my father killed him, he extracted his soul alone and sealed it in an object in the study."

"My father thought I didn't know all this, and he told me that my husband died in an accident, hehe......"

Matthew only felt a little tingling in his scalp:

"And how do you know?"

Ai Xue said with some pain:

"In a dream, my husband told me all this in a dream."

"He told me that he had been tortured by my father, and that every time he was upset, my father would whip his soul with a spell, and that he was now living in pain every day."

Matthew's thinking is still a little sluggish:

"So, why?"

Ai Xue looked at him strangely:

"Of course a soul whipped by spells can be painful, don't you know?"

Matthew was a little speechless:

"I mean, why would you think it was your father who killed your husband?"

"Just by virtue of an absurd dream?"

Ai Xue squatted on the ground and pulled her hair, then got up and pushed away the pile of books in front of her.

She replied as she searched:

"That's a long story.

But I have good reason to believe it all.

My husband Lorraine is from the Fangta family, you should know Fangta, right?

Like Rez, the Fonta family is one of the three followers of the original founder of White Rock City.

Lorraine and I belong to a political marriage.

But we have a good relationship, I love him very much and am willing to give everything for him.

My brother has always disliked Lorraine.

His wife came from another of the three major families.

Therefore, he often fanned the flames in front of his father and found fault with Lorraine.

Then something happened.

My brother slandered Lorraine for digging the corner of the Raz family for the Fonta family in the "Land of Bones".

This is a very serious taboo.

My father was furious on the spot.

However, his father did not do anything at the time, but secretly killed Lorraine afterwards.

All this is done in conditions of high secrecy.

But because it's the closest person.

I was still aware of my father's and brother's abnormalities during that time.

The dreams that followed only further confirmed this.

Woowoo......

My poor husband fell victim to the political game between the two families.

After Lorraine's death.

On the surface, the Reze family still maintains a good relationship with the Fangta family.

No one continues to delve into the false accusations that took place in the Land of Bones.

My brother is on the throne of heir.

I know his character very well.

Once he becomes the next lord of the castle, he will definitely embezzle all of his father's property.

My fate will be miserable......"

Speaking of which.

Ai Xue's face showed a trace of sadness.

Matthew scratched his head.

The development direction of this family ethics drama is getting more and more outrageous......

But the matter involves the land of bones.

It's no wonder that the city lord of Rez is ruthless.

You must know that the "Second Plane: Land of Buried Bones" is also one of the foundations of White Rock City.

It was a magical plane with a near-infinite underground cavern for necromancers to explore.

It is said that every time you enter the Land of Bones, you will be transported to a different place.

However, there are a number of indicators that can be used as a reference, including the danger of underground caverns, the number of undead, and the density of rare items.

After entering the Land of Bones.

Necromancers can use these things to determine which level they are in.

The deeper the underground caverns.

The greater the danger, the greater the number of undead, and the higher the probability of rare production.

As far as Matthew knows.

The current highest exploration record in the Land of Bones is 72 floors.

Maintained by the founders of White Rock City.

None of the latecomers have exceeded this height.

This is a monument that all the necromancers in the city are working towards.

The challenging situation in the Land of Bones determines the sequence of the three major families in White Rock City to some extent.

If Ai Xue's husband really committed a taboo.

It is not surprising that he was killed by the Lord of Rez.

But sealed in the study, often lashing this kind of thing—well, like a necromancer......

The stereotype of peers has deepened again.

Matthew couldn't help but rub his temples.

He wasn't sure if Lorraine had actually died at her father's hands, as Ai Xue had claimed.

But it's better to stay away from this kind of thing.

At that moment, Matthew showed a hint of apology:

"Condolences, ma'am."

Ai Xue suddenly looked at him nervously:

"You're not going to tell my father, are you?"

Matthew shook his head:

"No, it won't."

"I'm creditworthy."

Ai Xue was a little relieved.

She continued to bury her head in the study in search of her husband.

However, it is always missed.

It didn't take long and it was ten minutes away.

Looking at Ai Xue, who was flushed and had messy hair, Matthew couldn't help but remind:

"It's time for me to go, ma'am."

Ai Xue didn't seem to hear it.

Matthew sighed softly:

"The bookcase on the left counts from bottom to top in the third row, and the seventeenth book from left to right."

"There's a landscape painting in the direction your butt is facing, and there's a dark grid behind it, and that dark pavilion should lead to a secret room with a glowing gargoyle statue."

"In the northeast corner of the study, the third magic broom, compared to the other brooms, it has obvious creases, you should be able to find it easily."

"And the vase on the northwest side, with a white pebble in it."

"These four things above are most likely your husband."

That's all that is said and done.

Without waiting for Ai Xue to react.

Matthew left the study.

However, on the way out of the Lord's Mansion, he still took the initiative to talk to the housekeeper, delayed him a little longer, and could be regarded as helping Ai Xue a little more from the side.

As for whether she can find his husband as she wishes.

Matthew doesn't know.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

Matthew took the opportunity to make a simple purchase in White Rock City.

Magical materials and items related to the necromantic realm are much cheaper here than in the Alliance Mall.

Matthew doesn't have a lot of money right now.

But this time he still bought a large amount of materials in one go, which almost cost him all the cash in his hand again.

Among them, three materials account for a large proportion.

The first is the high-quality "Boundary Stone".

This thing is the key to building a negative energy channel.

Matthew intended to build a high-quality negative energy fountain on each floor of the cemetery.

This will speed up the progress of increasing the strategic level of the Graveyard.

The second is the seed of the "Black Locust of the Underworld".

The Netherworld Robinia is a rather special plant that increases the integrity and defense of the ritual field.

This thing is extremely rare outside, and only White Rock City can purchase it in large quantities.

The third is the Twilight Pearl.

These pearls can only be produced by special shellfish that grow in an environment where negative energy is abundant.

Its powder is a key ingredient in the production of the Twilight Potion.

The twilight potion is one of the few alchemy potions in the necromantic realm, it is essentially a necromantic stimulant, which can increase the soul fire strength of the undead by 30%~60% after use, and then greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the undead.

Matthew plans to make some time.

Occasionally, it also refreshes Peggy and Xiao Boiling to enhance their combat explosiveness.

Immediately after the purchase, Matthew left White Rock City.

He encountered gray snow again on the outskirts of the city.

Glancing back at the chains hanging from the sky.

Matthew shook his head.

This place really can't be lived in for long.

If you're not careful, you may become part of the stereotype.

It's better in the woods!

In order to alleviate the gloomy twilight from White Rock City, Matthew returned home and stayed in the oak forest for a while, chatting with the centaurs for a while, eavesdropping on the conversation of the critters for a while, and then returning to the cemetery until the sun was about to set.

He was going to make a batch of Twilight potions tonight.

But it's not time to eat yet.

An owl flies into Matthew's graveyard with a magic letter in his mouth.

Matthew opened the letter and looked at it, and immediately came to his senses.

The letter was written by Surrell.

There is only one line on it -

"Old place, come quickly, and honor Margaret's reward."

……

The Crystal Palace of Surreel.

Under the guidance of the fat cat Aggie, Matthew walked briskly into the third reception room.

But what surprised him a little was that-

There were other people in the reception room besides Suriel.

It was a graceful woman.

Her face was covered with a black-purple veil, and all she could see was clear and bright eyes and a high bridge of her nose.

Her hair is coiled up high, and she is wearing a very figure-showing cardigan, which is very amorous and gives people a sultry taste.

Compared with Suriel next to him, he is more dignified and gentle, like a neighbor's aunt.

When Matthew went in.

The two women seemed to be whispering, and Matthew even saw a very rare touch of shyness and crimson on Suriel's face.

They seem to be talking about something amazing.

But he was stopped on the spot.

Surrell returned to his normal state and said to the woman:

"Someone's coming."

"I'll tell you later."

The woman smiled softly, and her voice was very coquettish:

"False seriousness."

"Matthew isn't a kid anymore, and he still has to hide in front of him?"

Surrell glared at her, then finally introduced:

"It's Youruo."

"It's a crazy woman, remember to stay away from her in the future."

Matthew suddenly looked embarrassed.

Of course he'd heard of Youruo's name, this was the same level as Ronan's guardian of the West!

Yuruo didn't contradict Surrell.

She just smiled at Matthew:

"Tell a pornographic joke to hear it......"

Hearing this, Suriel was a little annoyed and said:

"Get out of here!"

"Don't harass my guests!"

The next second.

The sofa under Youruo's ass suddenly turned into a bloody mouth, and then swallowed her in one gulp!

There was a sudden silence in the conference room.

Matthew lowered his eyebrows and pretended not to see anything.

Surrell motioned for Matthew to sit down.

She poured him a pot of coffee, and then said in a calm tone:

"As I promised, you helped me solve Margaret's problem, and I have prepared a big gift for you."

"This gift is worth a total of two million gold coins, and it is divided into two parts."

Matthew's breath was suddenly suffocated!

Million?

You said it earlier......

Matthew can't wait to come back a few more times!

He's even starting to think about working with Bazaar!

But soon.

Matthew listened to Surrell say with a smile:

"Of course, two million can't be cash."

"There's no way anyone in this world can take cash out of me."

"Oh, this is the first part, the spell ability package I prepared for you, the overall price is more than one million gold coins, but I converted it for you according to 800,000, you can see how it is."

said.

She handed a list to Matthew.

Look at the nouns on the list.

Matthew's breathing became rapid again.

"Suriel's Ultra Magic Package—

Spell Silence;

Spell time-lapse;

Spell spread;

Spells are powerful;

Multicast;

Sign Language Spellcasting II.;

Last mover first comes;

Spells are traceless;

Stealth casting;

Combat Spellcaster II.;"

"How? Satisfied? ”

Suriel asked with a smile.

Matthew chick nodded like a peck of rice:

"Satisfied!"

"Quite satisfied!"

But he wasn't carried away by the joy.

Instead, he cautiously asked:

"So ......"

"How much is the labor cost?"

A satisfied smile instantly appeared on Surreil's face.

……
