Chapter 428: I Heard You Earned A Large sum of Money?

Translator: Lonelytree

Matthew smiled and said,

“He gave me 10,000 gold coins.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to know how 10,000 gold coins feel like? I can satisfy you now. “Forget about what you just said.”

As he spoke.

He took out 10,000 gold coins from the small bag and scattered them on the ground.

Seeing this scene.

Peggy’s soul fire was about to fly out of her skull!

She threw herself on the ground like a madman and counted the money while shouting happily,

” I take back what I said just now. That mage in the white coat is a very good person!

“Matthew, you have to thank him!

“Is he your superior in the Alliance? You have to work hard with him! Oh, the taste of gold coins is so delicious…”

He saw Peggy happily rolling around in the pile of gold coins.

A gratified smile appeared on Matthew’s face.

But very quickly.

The smile disappeared.

Although Matthew hooed that Pegzv would forget about Edmond.

But he could not forget it.

He thought about it.

He realized that there were indeed some suspicious points in Edmond’s actions.

First, when they first met, he had wanted to give her a silver bell, the reason being to monitor Isabelle’s situation.

But from Matthew’s point of view, this bell was completely unnecessary.

With Edmond’s intelligence, it was impossible for him not to see this.

Secondly, as the head mage, Edmond should have a lot of things to do. This time, he actually came to Rolling Stone Town to support him, which was a very inconceivable thing in itself.

Under normal circumstances, neither the Scar of the Dead nor the outer planes would have bothered Edmond so much.

It was also impossible for Isabelle to be the reason.

Others might think that Matthew had a bright future because of his Al title and his relationship with Isabelle.

But who was Edmond?

He was the eighth powerful person in the Alliance!

It was reasonable for him to show appropriate kindness to Matthew, but to show it to this extent was somewhat inconsistent with his status.

Thirdly, the direct confrontation between Matthew and the red dragon, Khuzulas, seemed to have been led by Edmond.

Edmond said that it was a coincidence but Matthew felt that something was wrong.

If his purpose in coming to Rolling Stone Town was to sneak into Ronan’s house, then it makes sense. “Coming over to support me is just a pretence.”

Matthew’s head began to hurt.

He had not forgotten.

There was also someone in the Alliance who was suspected to be the mastermind behind Blinken’s work.

If that person was Edmond…

Matthew didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

The deeper he understood the Alliance, the more he felt that the Seven Saints weren’t clean.

There was no reason for Edmond to be an exception.

Legendary mages were very busy, and there must be a deeper logic behind their every action.

“Perhaps Edmond’s love for gossip is just a persona he deliberately created.

” Their real purpose is to gather information and achieve some unspeakable goal. ”

Once he accepted the fact that Edmond was the mastermind behind the scenes…

Matthew found that many things had become reasonable.

This guess made him nervous.

But very quickly.

Matthew let out a long sigh.

‘ Even if Blinken is Edmond’s spy, even if Edmond came here to steal something from Ronan, there is no irreconcilable conflict between us.

“He still gave me a lot of positive suggestions and pointers, and the kindness he released was most likely not fake.

“This means that I still have a certain value to him.”

He had value.

He would be able to survive.

Besides, Blinken was still alive, and Isabelle was still in favour of him. Even if

Edmond wanted to kill everyone who knew about him, Matthew’s turn wouldn’t come so soon.

“There’s nothing I can do… He’s a Legendary Mage…” Matthew smiled bitterly and rubbed his aching temples.

Not far away.

The zombies lined up in an orderly manner to drink the spring water.

Soldier led the Skeletons, but their crotches were obviously twisted too much.

Peggy was still rolling around in the gold coins.

The cemetery was quiet and peaceful.

However, Matthew missed the days when the Great Mage Ronan was still around.

North of the oak forest.

The Centaur Obast looked at the towering tree with a complicated gaze.

He did not understand why such a natural wonder would appear in the oak forest right after he left.

That was the descendant of the World Tree.

His heart was filled with frustration.

He had planned to leave this place and head north to find a forest that was more suitable for him to live in.

But this time.

His four hooves could barely move.

“But I can’t go back anymore.

“How can I still have the face to go back after what I said to him?”

Obast turned his head.

The pride of the Centaur did not allow him to bow down to the Necromancer.

He used all his strength to run north. After running for a few minutes, he only managed to run a dozen meters.

A moment later.

Obast couldn’t help but turn back to look at the towering tree.

At this moment.

A green spatial rift appeared in front of him.

Obast was no stranger to this.

It was a portal from the sea of trees.

Very quickly.

A light fairy that was larger than its kind jumped out.

“Good evening, Obast!

Little Pineapple says hello to you on behalf of everyone!

“According to our previous agreement, I came to see how you were doing.

“Everyone’s current situation isn’t too good. After the failure of the internal conflict, we lost the recognition of the Sea of Trees. It’s difficult to move there. We have to find a new home to have a chance to reproduce.

“The other pioneers didn’t bring back any good news. “Looks like this mission has fallen on my shoulders!

“I believe in you, Obast.

“You’ve always been the best of the centaurs.

“I believe that you will be able to lead us to a new home.” The Light Fairy called Little Pineapple rattled on and on.

Suddenly.

It saw the World Tree rising from the ground.

Little Pineapple said happily,

Oh my god, you found the descendant of the World Tree!”

However, he could feel Little Pineapple’s wild joy.

He couldn’t bear to tell it the cruel truth. ” You’re really our hero. Will this be our new home?”

Little Pineapple asked hopefully.

Obast opened his mouth, but he could only brace himself and reply,

“It should be…l’m still trying my best.”

Little Pineapple said excitedly,

“I knew it. I’m the lucky Little Pineapple! I can’t wait to tell everyone the news.” Good luck, Obast. When you settle down, everyone will come to you!”

As it spoke.

It happily disappeared into the crack.

Only Obast was left standing there foolishly.

Looking at the huge tree that soared into the sky.

His gaze became determined.

The next day, in the magic classroom of the Cauldron House.

After the last theory class.

Matthew and Margaret were talking.

” The relationship between Blinken and Edmond?

“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Margaret asked in surprise.

Matthew revealed a gossipy smile.

“I heard some very interesting rumours. I just want to verify if they’re true.” Margaret snorted.

“It’s true. There was a period of time when the two of them were together every day. Edmond regarded Blinken as his sweetheart and summoned him from time to time, so I didn’t even have the chance to see my boyfriend. So I turned him into my ex-boyfriend.

“However, sometime before Blinken defected, their relationship seemed to have deteriorated drastically. Someone heard Sir Edmond, who never cursed, loudly cursing Blinken in the laboratory. However, nothing seemed to have happened between the two of them after that. It didn’t take long for Blinken to leave.”

Why was someone who never cursed suddenly cursing loudly?

Matthew had an idea in his heart and did not ask anymore.

He wanted to change the topic. However, at the next moment.

Margaret asked excitedly,

“I heard that you made a lot of money recently.

“Someone is looking for you.” Matthew immediately said warily,

“No investments, no loans.”

Margaret snorted coldly.

” I knew you were a miser, but don’t worry, the person looking for you isn’t me. It’s my mentor, one of the three Holy Mages of the Alliance, Lady Soria.

“She specifically told me that after today’s class, if you’re free, she wants to see

you.

“What do you think?”
