Matthew could only vaguely see that the other party was wearing a small dark red cloak, and he was looking around uneasily.
"Sif?"
The mage's fire lit up, Matthew walked over and saw a fair little face.
It was the girl he rescued from the magician camp a few days ago.
I don't know if it was because of running, but Sif's face was red and there was a faint mist in her eyes.
"Shh! Matthew, I ran out secretly!"
Sif's voice trembled slightly:
"Um, can you let me in for a moment?"
Matthew opened the door smoothly: "Of course, but if you do this, wouldn't it be bad?"
He was referring to the fact that Sif had just been kidnapped. Her safety had affected countless nerves in the Lord's Mansion. If she were to sneak out and be discovered, there would inevitably be a big fuss.
"Don't worry, I'm not an ignorant rebellious girl."
Sif took off the hood of her cloak as she walked inside: "I sneaked out while the maids were asleep. There is a mirror image of me in the bedroom covering, and I won't be gone for too long.
, I feel very sorry for making everyone so worried last time."
Matthew nodded.
He led the girl through the door and sat down in the living room.
"Would you like coffee? Or milk." Peggy was not here, so Matthew could only greet him by himself.
Sif smiled: "Milk, I won't be able to sleep if I drink coffee at night. I haven't been able to sleep well these days."
After a while.
The girl held her cup of steaming milk and blew gently.
Matthew sat in front of her silently.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ha, it's so hot..."
Sif took a sip of milk and stuck out her tongue.
"I came here specifically to thank you, Matthew."
Matthew observed the other party calmly.
Sif put down the milk and said with some humor: "Please, you don't think everyone will believe the ghost story that Brad made up, do you? At least I know that my savior is not some illusory big shot in White Rock City, but Yin
."
Matthew thought for a while: "Were you awake at that time?"
Sif blushed and nodded: "It's the same from the beginning to the end. It's just that the magician made me smell a kind of medicinal powder. My consciousness is always awake, but I can't control my body."
Speaking of which.
She took a long breath, with a look of deep fear on her face: "To be honest, Matthew, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened next. You saved my life, but I didn't
I know how to thank you."
"They locked me up at home these days, but I couldn't sleep all night long. Every time I closed my eyes, the face of the magician would appear in front of my eyes. Only when I think of you, my heart
It will be a little more peaceful.”
Matthew listened quietly to Sif's confession.
Being kidnapped can easily become a person's nightmare, and a mentally weak person would have collapsed long ago.
But Sif is obviously different.
She just whispered for a while and then put on her youthful smile:
"I really didn't expect you to be so powerful! If other girls in the school know about it, I'm afraid the love letters you will receive during the Spring Festival will double than in previous years!"
Matthew said calmly: "But I am a necromancer."
"What happened to the Necromancer?!" Sif said excitedly: "Biana is an idiot! She obviously likes you so much, but she was at a loss when she heard that you were once a Necromancer. Not every death
Spirit mages are all bad guys!"
Matthew looked at her in surprise: "Biana?"
Sif subconsciously covered her mouth with half of her palm, and then said coquettishly under Matthew's gaze:
…
"Okay, okay, I admit that I encouraged her to confess to you - but what's wrong with that? She already likes you very much!
She has a diary at home, and at least 90% of the contents in it are related to you. She even wrote down the color of the socks you wear in class every day!
In my opinion, this is what love looks like!
Of course I would encourage her to express her feelings when parting - I just didn't expect her to care about the world's opinions, which is really disappointing!"
…
Matthew rubbed his temples.
It's not easy for him to comment on adolescent girls' views on love.
So he could only change the topic and said:
"So, others also know that the Necromancer is me?"
Sif's head suddenly shook like a rattle:
"I didn't tell anyone! Everyone else believed Brad's nonsense, including my father. He is a big fool..."
However, the words did not fall.
In the corner of the living room, the copper bell strung on a hemp rope rang again.
"Who would come to see you in the middle of the night?"
Sif followed Matthew with a half-filled glass of milk and looked around.
The next second.
Her little face turned white:
"It's my father!"
"It's so bad Matthew, where can I hide?"
…
"Lord, you're here late at night. What's the point of your visit?"
From inside the fence, Matthew asked politely.
He didn't open the door, firstly because he wasn't familiar with the lord, and secondly, after all, his daughter was in his room, so he probably couldn't tell clearly in the middle of the night.
"Is this how you treat your guests?"
Rhaegar Blood Flag said angrily.
Matthew noticed that he was also wearing a dark red cloak. The material was similar to the one on Sif, but the size was obviously much larger.
The darkness behind him was empty, and there was no one following him.
"Don't look, I'm the only one."
Rhaegar urged impatiently:
"Come in and talk."
Matthew had no choice but to open the door and lead him into the living room.
"Coffee or milk?"
he asks.
"No need, I won't stay here too long."
Rhaegar's tone was very stiff.
Matthew nodded and sat down opposite him naturally.
"Listen Matthew! What I hate most in my life is the Necromancer! But my upbringing does not allow me to turn a blind eye to my daughter's savior."
Rhaegar gritted his teeth and said:
"So I came here to thank you - thank you for saving my daughter!"
Matthew spread his hands: "So Brad..."
Rhaegar said happily: "Who would believe the nonsense he made up!? The necromancer of White Rock City happened to pass by to fight against an injustice? He happened to have a chance encounter with him? Even a third-rate bard would not dare to write this script!
"
Matthew rubbed his temples and was a little speechless.
Seeing Matthew's constipated expression, Rhaegar seemed to be in a better mood:
"Don't blame Brad. I have watched that kid grow up. He is not a liar by nature! But you can rest assured that there are no more than five people in the town who really know the inside story of this matter. Although they don't know
Why would a powerful necromancer like you hide in my territory in a low-key manner, but we will keep it a secret for you."
Matthew looked directly at Rhaegar: "What I'm curious about is, even if you see that Brad is lying, why are you so sure it's me? Maybe he really knows someone important?"
Rega sneered, and then said seriously: "I saw your back that day. Our Blood Flag family has a certain purgatory bloodline, so we also have some unknown abilities - in short, I am sure it is you."
Matthew nodded.
He actually didn't want to keep it secret, but he just kept a low profile as much as possible based on the principle of doing more things than doing less things. It would be okay if others found out.
"Okay Matthew, without further ado, you can make a request to me, and I will definitely satisfy you within my ability."
Rhaegar stared at Matthew with an evil look in his eyes:
"I don't owe the Necromancer any favors!"
Matthew thought for a while and simply mentioned that he wanted to plant trees on the land in the northwest.
Although Liz has already helped him get it done.
But Matthew is a very particular person.
After all, that piece of land is Rhaegar's private land. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, you should confirm it with the lord when you have the opportunity.
"Just planting trees?"
Rhaegar frowned.
Matthew looked at him openly: "Occasionally, I bury a few people."
Rega's eyes flashed with deep disgust: "He is indeed an annoying necromancer!"
"But Xifu's life is not that worthless. I will give you that piece of land! From now on, we will be clean!"
Matthew was a little surprised.
Don't wait for him to speak.
Regajo suddenly stood up:
"Remember, Necromancer, I won't owe you anything in the future."
"Also, I want to give you a piece of advice, stay away from my daughter!"
After saying that, he glared at Matthew fiercely, and then went out on his own.
boom!
He closed the door hard.
The sound of footsteps faded away.
after a long time.
Sif's little head popped out of the kitchen.
She looked at Matthew with a sad face:
"It's bad, Matthew, you don't really want to alienate me, do you?"
Matthew looked at her funny:
"He told you on purpose, don't make it difficult for him."
Sif looked surprised.
So Matthew led her to the window.
Outside the fence illuminated by mage fire.
The middle-aged man in a dark red cloak was still standing at the door.
"He is waiting for you. Maybe he has been guarding you secretly since you came back from the accident. There are a lot of bloodshot eyes in his eyes. He probably hasn't slept a wink in the past few days."
Matthew said softly:
"He's a good father."
Sif's eyes instantly turned red.
She pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "I know, I've always known...he was sad for a long, long time after mom left. I'm sorry Matthew, he wasn't targeting you."
Matthew had a smile in his eyes, indicating that he didn't care.
Sif was silent for a while, then waved her little fist in front of her chest: "I will find a way to help him get rid of his knot. I know my father is a good man, but I don't want to alienate you because of this. Matthew, you can understand me.
Do you mean it?"
The girl looked up at Matthew, her eyelashes trembling slightly and her eyes bright.
Matthew said nothing.
Just at this moment.
A voice came from the direction of the kitchen:
"You can try to find yourself a stepmother. People say that only new love can dilute the pain of old love. This is not unreasonable."
Sif looked at the skeletal minotaur that appeared out of nowhere in surprise.
"Matthew, is this your summon?"
Sif asked softly.
Matthew noticed that there was more curiosity than fear in her eyes.
So he introduced:
"This is Paige, well, she's my family."
When Peggy heard this, she was overjoyed at first.
Then his face sank:
"Thank you Matthew, but I have to remind you that your family has to pay wages too!"
…
…
One week later.
Deep in the oak forest.
In a newly built cabin.
Matthew sat beside the wooden bed and looked at the latest work results.
…
"No pain, double harvest: a total of 83 points of strengthening experience will be gained, which can be strengthened 8 times.
…
Please choose the skeleton you want to strengthen!"
