Chapter 905: The Purgatory’s Daughter’s Order
On the back was a beautiful garden.
The depths of the garden emitted a dazzling golden light.
The whole scene was dynamic. If one focused their eyes on the golden light, it would be as if they could follow the path of the garden to the depths.
In the blink of an eye.
Matthew saw a large number of gold coins lying quietly in the treasure chests in the depths of the garden!
..
[Hint: You have received Hood’s thank you gift, “Garden Treasure Chest”(Spatial Foldable Card)]
[Accountant: You quickly estimated that the total value of the gold coins in these chests is close to one million!]
[Remark: You deserve it. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.]
[Hood]
..
One million gold coins!
Matthew’s hand, which was holding the foldable card, trembled slightly.
“Are all these old fellows so rich?”
His heart was a little shocked.
He guessed that Hood was not a saint.
However, he did not expect the other party to be so inhumane.
To be able to easily give out a million, Old Hood’s family background was evident.
But thinking about it carefully, this was actually very reasonable.
Jiliu City was far richer than Rolling Stone Town.
It was Jade Court’s biggest business partner and almost monopolized the elves ‘external trade.
And Hood had been operating in that city for 80 to 90 years.
As time passed.
The accumulation of wealth was terrifying.
It was no wonder that the current governor of Jiliu City wanted to deal with Hood.
Matthew had thought that the City Lord was simply bewitched.
But think about it carefully.
This was probably related to the crazy blood-sucking of the Hood Clan in Jiliu City.
Of the one million gold coins.
How much of it was legitimate income, and how much of it was from the people?
Thinking of this.
Matthew couldn’t help but sigh.
He couldn’t refuse the money that was delivered to his door, not to mention that he deserved it.
What made him sigh was that…
In the past, he would definitely feel extremely disgusted by this money.
But now.
This thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and it basically did not leave any psychological burden.
Matthew could clearly sense the change in his mentality.
Perhaps it was because he had gradually seen the cruelty and darkness of this world.
Under the contrast of those evil things.
The slightly grey area did not seem so repulsive.
In the past.
He definitely wouldn’t cooperate with Blinken.
But half a month ago.
After Isabelle started a massacre in Cross City, didn’t he still help her clean up the mess?
Matthew had visited the families of some innocent people.
Faced with the doubts of some of them.
He could only remain silent, or he could only insist that it was the doing of the witch of the Dragon Worship Sect.
This helplessness that stemmed from reality made Matthew unable to do anything but sigh.
Of course, mages were not good people.
However, compared to the gods and the evil beings in the outer planes, they were much, much better.
“The world is like a dirty fish tank…”
He sighed with emotion.
Matthew couldn’t help but recall what Soria had once said to him.
He then had a deeper understanding.
“I can only be myself first. In my own territory, try to treat ordinary people better.”
He secretly warned himself.
At this moment.
He suddenly realized how valuable Rheagar was!
“I’m afraid there’s only one lord in all of Aindor who supports his own citizens.”
Matthew smiled silently.
He thought for a while. He hadn’t been to the City Hall for a long time, and he happened to encounter Sif’s issues. So he packed up and quickly went to Rolling Stone Town.
However, as soon as he stepped into the office hall.
What he saw was a chaotic scene.
Several groups of soldiers were entering and exiting the lord’s manor.
In the office hall.
Rheagar sat on the sofa dejectedly, holding a letter in his hand.
Zeller, on the other hand, was giving orders with a tired expression.
When Matthew went in.
Zeller said,
” After she awakened, my divination spell was ineffective against her. However, a girl who has never travelled far should not be able to cover her tracks. I am gathering experts to track her. We must find her before dark!”
However, Rheagar sat on the sofa and did not show any special expression.
His reaction was slow.
His emotions were filled with frustration.
Matthew quickly stepped forward.”
“Is it Sif?”
When Zeller saw him, a rare smile appeared on his tired face.
” Yes, Sif ran away from home. She only left a letter.”
As he spoke, he pointed at Rheagar.
Matthew leaned over.
“Can I take a look?”
Rheagar handed the letter to Matthew listlessly.
Matthew’s gaze became subtle as he hurriedly glanced over.
The content of Sif’s letter was quite simple. She only said that she had been invited by a magic academy in the northernmost floating city to participate in the entrance examination.
Because she had been suppressed for too long.
She longed to see the world alone.
She even left her planned route in the letter.
From Rolling Stone Town, she headed north, past Stormwater City and the Watcher Highlands, through the Cloud Highlands and the Hellen Mountains. After arriving in the North, they quickly headed southwest to the Sea Monster Pass, crossed the Troll Kingdom, crossed the Man-eating Islands and the Dark Sea, and finally arrived at the Far North.
“This plan is a little too ridiculous…”
Matthew didn’t know what to say after reading it.
Sif’s idea of the route was quite simple and crude. It was the shortest route between two points, but the obstacles along the way were like natural barriers. Even Matthew did not dare to cross them!
“She knows how to play tricks now.”
