Of course, Matthew didn't believe Yu Lian's words.
This guy deliberately tricked Blinken into it, how could he not have a follow-up killer move?
So he asked:
"Is the tomb of King Mingtan actually a place of death?"
Yu Yan said in a relaxed tone:
"Life or death, the choice is yours. Just as you guessed before, the path to life and death are indeed the same. If you are still greedy and want to explore King Mingtan after inheriting the power of the Balance Messenger,
The tomb, then you are really only one step away from the place of death."
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Lian's words could not be more obvious. Blinken's trip is definitely a narrow escape.
Matthew pondered and looked at Yu Lian. This guy is indeed very skillful. On the surface, his personal strength is not strong, but he can play with the great mage of the Dragon Worship Cult. Although there are factors such as the borrowing of ancestors and poor information.
It's inside, but it's not easy to do this.
Facing Matthew's unscrupulous look.
Yu Lian's tone gradually became tougher:
"Listen, Matthew, I gave you the right clues, and I didn't harm you. I just did what I should do. I didn't want to cause trouble. It can be seen that you have a large number of people and a wide range of contacts.
"
Having said this, Yu Lian looked in the direction of the black gate for a while.
Rhaegar's voice could still be faintly heard in the room:
"I won, I won! Hey, don't lie, this is all mine..."
Yu Yan immediately looked Matthew squarely in the eyes and said harshly:
"But I, Yu Lian, have been able to live in Cordo City for so long because I am not a vegetarian, sugar baby! Sugar baby!"
He shouted several times in the direction of the corridor.
A few seconds later.
A beautiful tiefling wearing silk pajamas and horns on her head walked out of the room across the corridor.
She was bleary-eyed and crossed her arms:
"What's wrong honey?"
Yu Lian immediately became anxious when he saw it:
"Didn't I agree that when I shout the word "sugar baby", it's when I need your help to build up my momentum? Next time, remember to turn into a dog and come out!"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot."
The tiefling stuck out her pink tongue, swung her wide hips and walked toward the house, seeming to be undressing as she walked.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fortunately, Ma was very thick-skinned, so he laughed and calmly prepared to change the subject.
Who knew Matthew had already got straight to the point:
"I said, I'm not here to cause trouble. In addition to knowing the truth, I also want to do business in Cordo City. I think it would be perfect to approach you for this matter."
Hearing this, Yu Yan's eyes suddenly narrowed. He laughed and took out a brand new cigar and lit it leisurely.
"Business? That's another matter. Come on, come on, sit down, sit down, Li Weiqi, you can sit down too, I like talking about business with people the most."
As he spoke, he shouted towards the corridor:
"Dolores! Dolores? Serve the guests tea!"
Three seconds later.
There was an evil aura, and a three-headed hellhound with a steel chain around its neck suddenly squeezed through the corridor.
The three heads were raised together, their bloody mouths opened——
A large amount of sour and smelly saliva formed into a drizzle and splashed on the faces of everyone in the office.
Yu Lian silently looked at the extinguished cigar in his hand and said helplessly:
"Sugar baby, no, Delores, how about we change to a simpler password in the future?"
"No, forget it, I'll serve tea myself from now on."
…
This conversation allowed Matthew to stay in Cordo City for three more days.
finally.
Matthew promised to use 10% of the profits generated by the newly established Chamber of Commerce's future operating activities in Cordo City in exchange for the protection and support of local snake Yu Lian.
Yu Lian is now very powerful. After the Dragon Worship Cult was eliminated, most of its territory and properties were annexed by him.
in the future.
He is very likely to become the most powerful person in Cordo City.
Matthew also sensed the aura of purgatory in him, and thinking of the tiefling girl who could turn into a three-headed dog of purgatory, Matthew concluded that Yu Lian was definitely hiding something.
He is most likely the spokesperson for Purgatory's establishment on the Gold Coast!
In this case, being able to exchange 10% of the profit for Yu Lian's protection felt like a huge gain for Matthew.
Of course, the reason why the other party can offer such generous terms is not because Mr. Yu Lian is a kind man.
Matthew knew very well that the partners he took to the casino that day were the ones who made the negotiation successful quickly - both Li Weiqi and Lumiere were solid fifth-level macho men, and Bobo, the magic weapon master, made Yu Yu
A character whose sickle is extremely painful, even Rhaegar - the quality of the big sword on his back is very impressive.
the next day.
The "Oak Chamber of Commerce" was officially established in Cordo City. With Yu Lian's help, the new chamber of commerce completed its registration in the trading department of Cordo City City Hall in less than an hour.
In addition, he also helped Matthew get a tax-free quota for two years.
Matthew knew that this was not only Yu Lian's vigorous show of goodwill to him, but also his influence in Cordo City.
He was not disgusted with Kama's attitude of showing off his muscles, and even wanted him to do it more.
About the name of the Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, Matthew originally planned to call it "Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce", but Rega said that the name Rolling Stone Chamber of Commerce had already been taken by him. It was a chamber of commerce solely owned by the lord himself, mainly located between the North Trading Post and Jade Cangting in Rolling Stone Town.
When doing business, the profit is not big, but stability is better.
Bobo suggested that it be better to call it "Matthew Chamber of Commerce". Matthew waved his hand and said that it was too high-profile, and he was a necromancer. What if his reputation became bad and affected the business of the chamber of commerce in the future?
In the end, the approachable name of Oak Chamber of Commerce won the unanimous approval of the three start-up shareholders.
After registration is completed.
The Oak Chamber of Commerce's initial accounts contained 9,000 gold coins and a small amount of magic crystals that had not yet been sold.
There are three shareholders, namely Matthew, Bobo and Rega.
When dividing the shareholders' rights, Lei Jia took the initiative to stand up and said that he had not helped much along the way. The magic crystal was obtained by Bobo and the dragon breeding farm was broken through by Matthew. He had no chance to establish credit.
So he only wanted 10% of the shares.
Later, Bobo also expressed his position that he did not contribute much in the attack on the dragon breeding farm and only planned to obtain 30% of the shares.
But Matthew doesn't think so.
He knew that the reason why Bobo did not perform well during the attack on the dragon breeding field was mainly because he was dragged down by Lei Jia.
He felt that taking 60% alone was too much.
But Bobo's attitude was also very determined.
She felt that 40% was too much.
Both sides felt that they could not take so much, so they started a tug of war with each other.
Neither of them could convince the other.
At the end.
The experienced Rhaegar reminded me:
"Actually, if you are not afraid of the trouble of accounting, you can divide it into 3.5:5.5."
Matthew's eyes lit up.
He and Bobo looked at Rhaegar in surprise.
"Our lord seems to be of some use."
Matthew thought to himself.
In the end, the rights and interests of the three initial shareholders were determined.
The next two days.
Among the several shops in the trade area recommended by Matthew Yu, Matthew chose a prosperous shop facing the street and rented it. Fortunately, the influx of refugees from the South Bank has only had a greater impact on the housing prices and rents in other areas for the time being. The trade district
The price has only slightly increased by 30%.
The original owner of the shop was a hobgoblin, who seemed kind and easy to talk to.
After Matthew signed a three-year contract with him.
This shop with a small courtyard became the first location of the Oak Chamber of Commerce in Cordo City.
Once you have a place to stay, the next step is to clean the house, buy furniture and recruit people.
In this regard, Lumière was the most active.
Lumiere just got more than 4,000 gold coins from Matthew a few days ago, and he is feeling very proud at the moment.
While Matthew and Bobo were shopping around for shops, Lumiere was also shopping around in the rental market in Cordo City.
Matthew thought this guy was choosing a love nest for himself and his harem.
After asking, the clinker found out that Lumiere wanted to choose a convalescent place for several elderly people and families in the tribe with handicap.
He told Matthew that he wanted all the elders in the tribe to live in such a house.
After chatting in the next few days, Matthew also learned that Lumiere was interested in developing in Cordo City.
He wanted to experience the customs and habits of foreigners here and learn the knowledge and achievements of the outside world.
Matthew encouraged this, but also reminded Lumiere to be more careful and not to be deceived, especially to be careful with sickles and those who are involved in the underworld.
Although judging from Lumiere's strength, few people can hurt him.
Considering that Blinken is currently trapped in a tomb under the sea, Lumiere is not stupid, but it is definitely far worse than Blinken, so Matthew gave a few extra words of warning.
In addition, Lumière has stated many times before that he can work for the Oak Chamber of Commerce even if he does not need to be paid.
In the end, Matthew simply gave Lumière a false position as a "security consultant" for the Chamber of Commerce.
He also said that if he really wanted to help, he could come to the store at any time.
On the contrary, if he encounters any difficulties, he can also convey information to himself through the channels of the Chamber of Commerce.
In any case, Lumiere's stay in Cordo City is also good news for the Oak Chamber of Commerce. Once something happens in the future, everyone can take care of each other.
…
As for the first president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce, Matthew did not hold the post personally, but directly appointed it to Shadowsworn Leila.
Laila, who had just received the news, was very surprised.
She asked Matthew point-blank why he trusted her so much.
Matthew’s answer was also very candid:
"I hope that my president is someone who will never betray me. The Dark Territory can no longer accommodate you. The Scourge Order will place a reward on you forever. Your race and skin color are destined to not accommodate you on the surface. If you still
If you dare to betray me, I'm afraid you'll have to see Gai Lan forever in your life."
After listening to this, Laila was a little sad and a little moved.
She indeed has nowhere to go, and those who break the oath will naturally be despised by all gods or organizations.
Because people can't guarantee whether she will betray her a second time after she has betrayed her once.
Not to mention her current unique image of black and white, most people will subconsciously feel uncomfortable when they see it.
There is certainly some truth to Matthew's contrary approach.
But in the final analysis.
It was these days of getting along that made Matthew develop a sense of trust in her.
Laila didn't say much at that time, she just told Matthew that she would do the job well.
And on the morning of the next day after the appointment was completed.
Matthew saw Laila holding a street stall book that she had found somewhere and reading hard.
Matthew glanced -
Book Title: "Earning One Million Gold Coins in One Year, How Did I Succeed?"
Author: Aldrich Toes.
The cover of the book still shows a hobgoblin lying in a pile of gold coins.
Seeing this, Matthew couldn't help but smile lightly.
The president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce does not need these things yet.
But Laila's attitude made him realize.
There is a high probability that I did not choose the wrong person.
…
Three days later.
North entrance of Cordo City.
Matthew is getting ready and is about to leave.
Last night, through Ella and the moonlight goddess Asya, he sent away Rega and Li Weiqi who were traveling here in the form of reverse summons.
And today.
He will bid farewell to Bobo here, and then embark on the long journey back to the north with Laila.
"No need to send me away, I'm safe."
At the city gate, Bobo adjusted his helmet carelessly and said:
"As I said before, I will go west along the Gold Coast, pass by Boulder City, and then arrive at Cannan City. I will follow the traces of the Huo Sisters. There are not many directions in which their headquarters can be moved.
, I think the west side should be a correct route."
Matthew smiled and said:
"If you still can't find anyone from the Huo Sisters, why not come back and have a look. Cordo City also has your Chamber of Commerce. If you really feel confused, you can also go to the north. I welcome you in Rolling Stone Town at any time.
"
Bobo nodded vigorously:
"Rolling Stone, I remember, is Uncle Rhaegar's territory, right?
He also invited me to be a guest there. If there is really nowhere to go, I will come to you.
But don't have high expectations, I want to be a magician who can blow up Tianlun Palace!
Even if I can't find anyone from the Sisterhood, I still want to find the legendary "Machines, Fire Dragons and Titans"!
Just wait, Matthew, I will surprise you next time we meet."
During the conversation.
She suddenly thrust a rather compact black box into Matthew's hand.
"This is a parting gift to a friend. Only true friends can get it."
Bobo emphasized.
Matthew received the gift and felt a little embarrassed because he didn't prepare a parting gift for Bobo.
He fumbled around in the Miaofa bag and found that apart from the magic props, all that was left in the shortcut bar was a pile of bones.
"Sorry, I don't seem to be able to pay it back..."
Matthew hasn't finished speaking yet.
Bobo waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around, grabbed the strap of his backpack, and walked coolly into the distance.
…
"Tip: You have received Bobo's gift "Qishan Black Box".
Qishan Black Box: Through this item, you can communicate regularly or irregularly with other members of the "Qishan Pen Pal Club" who own black boxes.
Note: After Qishan Black Box is launched, you only have one minute to communicate with a specific pen pal by writing text.
Can be used once per day.
Everyone on the same plane can communicate."
…
The mechanic's version of a super satellite intercom?
Matthew was shocked.
"Has Cybertron already been able to create such a heaven-defying thing?"
"I don't know the cost of same-plane communication regardless of distance."
Although he was itching unbearably, Matthew put the box away first.
He said hello to Laila, and the two set off from the north of Cordo City and walked all the way towards the rain forest.
In order for Laila to be able to independently undertake business tasks in the future.
Matthew had to lead her through the line.
Especially the section from Rainforest to Zeshui City, even though Laila is now a peak fourth-level Oathbreaker, she cannot be careless.
Less than noon.
As soon as the two entered the rainforest, Matthew couldn't wait to communicate about Black Banyan's dream.
This time the entry was exceptionally smooth.
As Matthew passed through the familiar black banyan forest, all traces of Blinken's siege had been erased, and the world was once again filled with vitality.
On the same familiar throne.
Su Ya held her legs tightly together and sat upright.
On her left shoulder sits Ah Fei.
Su Ya's expression was calm and her voice was cold:
"I thought you would only come to me to say goodbye when you were leaving the rainforest."
Matthew felt some resentment from the other party's tone and couldn't help but scratch his head:
"I came right away..."
Su Ya interrupted him:
"But you have neither defeated Blinken nor recovered my green branch. If you only achieve this level and want to get reward from me, it is too good to think too much, right?"
As Matthew listened, he always had the illusion that he was being raped ruthlessly.
Su Ya didn't give him much chance to explain, she just said coldly:
"As long as Blinken is not dead, there will be no safety for the Black Banyan Dream. Therefore, in order to protect myself, I will close the Black Banyan Dream for a long time after you leave."
At this time, A Fei on her shoulder also nodded and said:
"That's right, Xiao Ma, Su Ya and I are going to close the door and live our own lives."
Snapped!
Su Ya skillfully grabbed and kicked A Fei in front of Matthew.
"You can help me take this stinky flying squirrel away too. I think you two have similar odors, so why not live together?"
"What, why are you still standing there? Let's go, do you still want me to see you off?"
Su Ya said with disgust on her face.
Matthew picked up the dizzy Ah Fei and was about to leave.
Su Ya suddenly said:
"Wait a minute! You are leaving anyway, so just return all the blessings you have to me!"
As he spoke, patches of green light appeared on Matthew's body. These were given by Su Ya before he attacked the dragon breeding farm a few days ago.
Now they have all been taken away.
Although Matthew had a strong heart, he also felt a strong sense of loss.
He said nothing more, picked up Ah Fei and left.
only.
It’s almost time to leave the black banyan dreamland.
Another gentle call sounded in his ears:
"Matthew!"
Matthew turned around subconsciously.
In an instant, he saw a trace of flawless white fluff.
His lips seemed to be rubbed by something sweet and soft.
Immediately afterwards.
I felt a burning pain on my lower lip!
"Didn't you ask me last time why my name was Su Ya?"
"I'll tell you next time we meet."
"Now, go away, go find your oak tree!"
A charming and shrewd voice sounded.
A gentle force pushed Matthew away from the black banyan dreamland.
He licked his lips.
The faint sweet fishy smell stimulated his taste buds.
However, his first reaction was actually:
"You don't have rabies, do you?"
…
"Tip: You have received Su Ya's natal blessing "The Power of the Sky Fox".
Power of the Sky Fox: Your Perception +1/Your Agility +1
The blessing "Su Ya's Pleasure" that was left on you has been upgraded to "Su Ya's Attachment".
Su Ya's attachment: When you walk in this rainforest, you can step into the black banyan dream anytime and anywhere, and use the black banyan dream to complete long-distance displacements;
When you walk into this rainforest, the soul of the rainforest will sense your presence;
Except for a few individuals, most of the creatures in this rainforest cannot actively attack you;
Duration: forever."
…
After reading all the blessings.
Matthew sighed softly.
For a moment, an impulse suddenly arose in his heart.
That impulse pushed him to knock on the door to the black banyan dreamland again.
However, the reality is cold.
…
"Reminder: Rainforest Soul Suya has temporarily closed all entrances to the Black Banyan Dreamland"
…
"So fast?"
Matthew tilted his head in disbelief.
Laila next to her watched him silently:
"got rejected?"
Matthew shook his head.
"That means being manipulated by hard to get."
Laila said decisively.
Matthew said angrily:
"I am a necromancer, and my heart has always been calm. I just want to go home now!"
Said.
He strode towards the north.
Laila shrugged.
Follow quickly.
…
Three days later.
Inside Zeshui City.
Matthew and Laila came together between the 11th and 12th stone gates.
He pointed to the hotel sign in front and said:
"The reputation of this "Jungle Dance" is pretty good, and the owner is also very nice. If you need supplies and rest, this will be a good place to stay. Next time you come alone, if you are not sure about crossing the rainforest, you can ask
The boss will find you a guide named Lao Jitou, tell me my name, and there should be no problem."
While talking.
He also led Laila forward.
When approaching the hotel.
There was a loud noise inside.
There was a very recognizable voice talking incessantly:
"Who am I? I just went to sea and slept with a few Nagas?
You said I'm awesome?
Just average. Just average.
You don't know.
My brother Matthew is awesome.
He's not even a cat..."
boom!
The door outside the hotel was pushed open forcefully.
Matthew appeared in front of the door with a smile:
