The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 29 Matthew's Living Room (4K)

……

"The first thing, when I went to visit my neighbor's house in the middle of the night, I happened to find that the lord's guard went out from the gate on the east side of the mage area. They were well-equipped and fully armed. There were about twenty people. I guess they probably didn't go for an outing. of."

Paige said.

Matthew nodded slightly.

The lord's guard is the absolute elite of the Blood Banner family. It is independent of the garrison and only obeys Rhaegar's orders.

They will not leave the camp next to the Lord's Mansion most of the time.

Only war or rebellion is likely to see them elsewhere in the town.

"Rega has been holding back for half a month, and it seems that he has made a big move."

Matthew gently kneaded the fluff at the end of the quill pen, his eyes gradually cleared up:

"It should be a traitor."

Peggy shrugged: "I don't know about that, I just share interesting or suspicious signs with you according to your request."

"But if your judgment is correct, then the traitor is probably not a small person, and it is very likely that he is a knight with a fief, otherwise he wouldn't need so many people."

Matthew nodded in agreement.

"Although this matter is important, it has nothing to do with us. What about the next one?"

"The next one is especially important!"

Peggy stared at Matthew very seriously, and said word by word:

"Matthew, you have to find a class!"

Matthew was taken aback: “Don’t we have enough money?”

Peggy threw a stack of bills and an account book, with various items and numbers written on them, and looked at Matthew dazzled.

"Here's last quarter's books, and the next quarter's budget I just prepared.

Let's talk about income first.

You went out a few times recently and brought back some one-time income. These gold coins are about [-] or so.

And since you took leave from Sever School, Principal Ren stopped your double salary, relying only on the subsidy from the security station, your monthly income is only 50 gold coins.

With those numbers in mind, let's move on to spending --

In terms of food and lodging, you have high requirements for three meals a day, and I am also providing them to you in different ways, but many of the ingredients themselves are very expensive; fortunately, those goblins will send some fresh seasonal vegetables and mountain delicacies every now and then.

But even so, we have to spend a lot a month.Here, it is very clear above, your food expenditure is about 5 gold per month, and I need to buy negative energy stones to maintain life and physical strength, I have been deliberately reducing consumption recently, but there are about 25 gold per month .

Look, you and I need 30 gold for a month's food expenses! "

Paige danced and said:
"This is too extravagant!"

Matthew pinched the bridge of his nose:
"It's really luxurious."

"However, the biggest expense is still in the greenhouse. In order to ripen a large number of seeds at the same time and cultivate them into saplings, you need to open the growth circle in the greenhouse all the time. This requires a lot of silver powder and sun stone. The monthly expenditure is more than 100 gold coins!
That's not counting the cost of buying the seeds.

And next, you should buy a whole set of attribute boosting scrolls. Even if the she-beast mage in White Rock City is willing to give you a discount, a set will cost 200 gold coins.

I also know that you want to buy a new magic book, a new magic bag, and the ring that increases the upper limit of energy.

But if this situation continues, your deposit will be exhausted within 7 months!
Then we will go bankrupt!Matthew! "

Paige looked very nervous and insecure.

Matthew thought for a while: "I have also calculated the expenditure situation. You may not have noticed that the major factor causing the expenditure gap is actually the greenhouse. After this spring, I will greatly reduce the consumption of the greenhouse..."

"But that's still going to make ends meet, isn't it?"

Peggy stared at him, then covered her jawbone with one hand, and said rather pompously: "Why don't you let me go back to the negative energy plane, Matthew, where I don't need extra negative energy stones to live Go down! Although I don't like that place very much, at least it can lighten your burden."

Matthew looked at her speechlessly.

"Or do you go back to class? Silver School cannot do without you, you are an excellent history teacher!"

Paige tried to reason and empathize.

"But the salary given to me by Silver School is only 60 gold coins a month. According to your calculation, we still can't make ends meet."

Matthew spread his hands, indicating that he is already a salted fish who doesn't want to go to work.

"No, as far as I know, as long as you are willing to go back to class, your salary will rise to 100 gold coins a month!"

See Peggy's pictures:

"So, go back to class, Matthew, this family needs your income, and the girls in the school are waiting for you to go back. Well, I heard that several boys like you very much."

Matthew was immediately alert: "Did you take money from Principal Ren?"

Paige confessed:
"Actually, this is the third thing I want to say—Miss Sif came here today, and she said she needed to find you. I said you weren't here, so she planned to wait for you in the living room. I told her that you might not be there tonight." When she came back, she looked a little disappointed, and after sitting in the kitchen for about an hour, she left with some regrets, but she told me that she will visit you again at the same time tomorrow."

Matthew rubbed his temples: "Did you refuse for me?"

Peggy glanced at him: "I agreed for you."

Matthew asked, "Why?"

Paige crossed her arms:

"Because that girl is very cute. She chatted with me about the recipes in the kitchen for more than an hour, and she took the initiative to ask you which dishes you like to eat. She promised me that when I came over tomorrow, she would bring me the purgatory recipes hidden at home. Looking back, as a skeleton who aspires to become a top chef, of course I can't refuse!"

Matthew was a little amused: "So that's why you encouraged me to go to work—is that what Sif meant? Also, this is the big thing you said?"

Paige rightfully said:

"It's a virtue to be on time, Matthew."

"Besides, it's about my dream and your happiness, so why isn't it important?"

"What I want to remind you is that Sif is different from other girls. Her mind is much more mature than the underage girls you think. I think she is very suitable for you."

Matthew spread his hands and joked, "It's a pity that her father is not suitable for me."

But Peggy said seriously: "I think so too, so I gave her a suggestion. When I ask her to come to you tomorrow, she must get rid of her father who likes to follow her daughter!"

Matthew scratched his head nervously:

"So Rhaegar is following Sif again today? Why doesn't he have work of his own to do!"

Peggy said: "Who knows, he is a poor person, but this kind of sick protection may not bring happiness to Sif. He should learn to let her grow up on her own."

Matthew joked: "You seem to have a lot of experience in raising children."

Peggy froze for a moment, her soul fire flickered again, and she didn't speak for a long time.

"Um, have new memories?" Matthew lowered his voice.

"No." Peggy shook her head: "It's just this sentence, I seem to have heard it from another person, I don't know if you have had a similar experience-a certain moment, a certain sentence, that strong feeling The feeling of deja vu, as if I have experienced..."

Matthew nodded.

The two were silent for a while.

Peggy suddenly asked again: "So are you willing to go back to class?"

Matthew blinked: "The reason why I was willing to go to class at the beginning was because of lack of money, and on the other hand, I hoped to use the school library and the books at students' homes to supplement knowledge. Now there are no reasons for these two reasons. It's so urgent, so I suggest you forget that suggestion just now."

He paused: "But I really should find myself a legal and stable business with quick money. Do you have any thoughts on this, Peggy?"

Peggy yawned, looking uninterested: "How would I know, I'm just a skeleton with nothing to do."

"Good night, Matthew."

……

The next night.

After a busy day in the woods, Matthew returned to his home in the town ahead of schedule.

After dinner, he took a shower, and then waited in the living room with a book.

Although the content of the book is not boring, Matthew is a little absent-minded.

He was mainly thinking about how to tactfully persuade Sif to stop looking for him every now and then.

He had a good impression of Sif.

So I don't want to hurt her even more.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

It was almost time for Sif to visit yesterday.

Bells rang outside the house.

Matthew put down his book and got up quickly to open the door.

However, what surprised him was.

Standing outside the fence was another woman.

"Samantha?"

Matthew looked at each other in surprise.

"Forgive me for coming uninvited, and please don't blame Ella, I begged her to give me your address."

Samantha looked a little tired.

But there was a strange look in her eyes.

At this time, she was wearing a dress that conformed to the trend of human towns, but didn't fit very well.

The chest swelled and trembled slightly.

Her expression also looked a little cramped.

"Uh, I'm not used to places where humans gather, can you let me in?"

Samantha asked quietly.

"sure……"

However, before Matthew opened the door to welcome her in.

A mournful roar erupted not far away: "No!"

The man approached while roaring:
"Samantha, what are you doing, why are you going to this necromancer's house!"

Matthew stared silently at the menacing Eli.

"Look, this..."

He looked again at Samantha.

next second.

The embarrassment on the female druid's face disappeared instantly, replaced by anger and sternness.

"Eli, I warned you, no! Do! Follow! Follow! Me!"

When it came to the last sentence, Samantha's voice was like the roar of a beast.

She turned and ran to Eli.

every step.

Her body swelled a bit.

After three steps.

With beautiful and flawless brown hair covering her body, she changed from a human female about 1.7 meters into a brown bear over three meters tall!

"Just a moment, Mr. Matthew."

Samantha spoke back, her tone gentle and apologetic.

"You never said that to me."

Eli was still accusing angrily.

The giant bear rushed over, grabbed Eli's body, and rushed out of the town like pulling a mop!
In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared one after another.

Only a not-so-shallow mark was left on the cobbled ground.

10 minute later.

A black shadow appeared at the end of the imprint.

It was a leopard.

She jumped lightly in front of Matthew:
"Sorry, but Eli won't bother us anymore."

Matthew thought about it, but still didn't say anything after all.

He politely led Samantha into the living room.

"Peggy, here's a guest!"

Matthew yelled.

Paige reluctantly came out of the kitchen, glanced at Samantha, snorted again, and brought a cup of cold coffee from the kitchen.

Right now.

The bell rang again outside the house.

"Sorry, excuse me."

Matthew had to go to open the door first.

This time it was indeed Sif standing outside the fence.

She no longer wore the dark red cloak today, but changed into a white dress.

She is tall, with slender thighs, her legs are close together, her hands are behind her back, her smile is sweet, giving people a feeling of healing.

"Good evening, Matthew!"

Sif greeted with a smile.

Matthew smiled back:

"good evening."

"Well, why don't you come in and talk first?"

As he spoke, he stepped aside halfway.

Sif took half a step forward.

Just in the process.

She turned around abruptly and looked at the alley opposite, with a look of helplessness on her face.

"Wait for me, Matthew."

She trotted over.

In the shadow of the alley.

Sif poked a section of the wall, and in the next second, a red blanket appeared on the wall.

The blanket fell, and a middle-aged man with an embarrassed expression appeared in front of her.

"Father, you promised me not to interfere with my freedom."

Sif said angrily.

Rega blushed, and quickly retorted:
"But you also promised me that I will pay attention to my own safety!"

Sif's eyes widened:
"But I'm going to Matthew's house, isn't it a dangerous place?!"

Lei Jia grimaced, thinking to himself, that might be the most dangerous place in Rolling Stone Town!
But he dared not say that to Sif.

In the many quarrels and conversations with their daughter before, they did have an agreement, and he was the first party to violate it, which was unreasonable.

So he talked nonsense, and only then did he calm down Sif's dissatisfaction.

"I promise you, I'll leave now."

the end.

Rega reluctantly touched Sif's head.

Under the gaze of the latter, he turned and left the block.

However less than 5 minutes later.

He killed a carbine!
……

"Damn Necromancer!"

Rhaegar gritted his teeth in hatred, but it was really inconvenient to do something to Matthew.

He watched Sif's back and Matthew's smiling face disappear behind the door, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

"No! I can't just wait outside like this! I have to see what they are doing! The living room, they are in the living room, I have to find a place where I can see the living room!"

Rhaegar's eyes frantically searched around.

soon.

He found a red roof with a tall chimney.

Lei Jia was agile and jumped up with a single vertical leap.

He took two steps up, with a happy expression on his face:

"Sure enough, you can see Matthew's living room from here!"

It's just that the roof slopes upwards on both sides.

Want to see more clearly.

He still has to go up.

So he stepped forward by touching the bricks and stones.

All the way up to the roof ridge.

suddenly.

He bumped into a figure who was also furtive and wild.

The man's face was unwilling, and his eyes were fierce.

He was also staring intently at Matthew's living room when Rhaegar bumped into him!

Lei Jia froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and instantly became angry!

At that moment, he grabbed the wild man by the shoulder and asked:

"Your daughter went in too?"

……

　The good news is that everyone in my family has gone down with their fever. The bad news is that I started it. My body temperature has been around 39 degrees for a day. It may be because I am Chuyang, and the symptoms are mild. In the next few days, I may still be 4K Klan. I will recover as soon as possible. Feel sorry.
