A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

“What goal?

“Powerful magic power?

“Or become the most powerful mage?

“Was this something very fascinating?

“Can’t you like women just because you’re chasing after these things?

“Were these things that couldn’t be taken care of?

“Or are you actually a coward? You don’t know what you want at all, and just keep running away.”

Each of her questions was sharper than the last.

Matthew was unprecedentedly relaxed and calm.

He calmly replied,

“Yes, I can’t take care of both.

” Perhaps some mages can still maintain the desire to study and work hard after having a partner, but I don’t think I’m such a person.

” My focus and energy are quite limited. I only want to focus on the most important things.

” At least at this stage, there’s no doubt about it.”

Matthew was actually quite tactful.

In fact, most successful mages would not disperse their energy too early.

The difference between them and Matthew was that…

The mages of this world were very clear about the difference between desire and emotion.

This meant that they could have a chaotic private life while making amazing progress in the field of magic.

Very few Legendary mages had their own emotional sustenance before becoming legendary mages.

They were just venting their desires.

But Matthew couldn’t do that.

He wasn’t an emotional mysophobe, nor was he a moral model. He simply couldn’t do it.

“As you said, the pursuit of magic, power and strength is a fascinating thing.

“In my heart, the feelings between people are also fascinating, especially love.

“In this world, all fascinating things were mutually exclusive.

“I’ve never been averse to starting a relationship.

“However, that was only after my Legend path had entered a relatively stable stage.

“I still have many things to do.

“I still have a long way to go.

“This was not just because it was a fascinating thing.

“It was also because this was a matter of life and death.

“I said life and death.

“It might not just be my life or death.”

Matthew added.

Sif looked confused.

“I don’t understand.

“Why is it like this?”

Matthew did not answer directly. Instead, he said indifferently,

“My teacher is the famous Holy Mage Lady Isabelle of the Alliance.

” She has incredible strength, but her mental state is not very stable. She is crazy all day long. I don’t understand many of the things she does.

“The way you look at me now is just like how I look at her.

” We are mages who live in isolation, mad and arrogant loners. Being misunderstood is our destiny, but it is also a blessing bestowed upon us by the heavens.”

When Matthew said this.

Isabelle’s appearance was not the only thing in his mind. At the same time, Margaret’s back as she walked proudly into Purgatory flashed across his mind.

Before saying all this.

Actually, he couldn’t explain why he was so repelled and even afraid of feelings.

But after he finished speaking, he suddenly came to a realization.

The rejection was not because of fear.

It was because of greed.

He was so greedy and thirsty!

He was so eager to open up a brand new world on the path of legend.

Therefore, he did not dare to be negligent or distracted.

Above desire.

There was only a higher level of desire.

Matthew didn’t say anything.

He didn’t expect Sif, a mortal, to understand him.

However, Sif was silent for a while after hearing that.

Then, she said very gently,

“I still don’t understand.

” But I believe you. I believe that your reason is valid.

” Magic must be something very fascinating. Your current efforts and focus will definitely have a special meaning in the future.

” I believe that. So, I’m sorry. I was a little rash just now.”

An apologetic expression appeared on her cute little face.

Matthew stared at her for a long time.

The latter’s eyes were very bright, and there was no sign of the low mood she had when she apologized.

He laughed and shook his head.

The other party had once again taken back the initiative. At least for now, Matthew could no longer stop Sif from learning spells.

“You are too cunning.”

Matthew said.

Sif’s eyes flickered.

“It’s just that you didn’t put in the effort.”

Her tone became gentle and shy.

“But I won’t make things difficult for you, Matthew.

” Come with me for a walk in Jiliu city this afternoon. As long as you’re willing to come with me this time, I’ll promise you that I won’t go to the northernmost floating city.”

Matthew raised his eyebrows.

“Really?”

Sif didn’t give him an answer.

She reached out her soft little hand and held Matthew’s warm palm. Then, she turned her head away and pulled him towards the steps of the city wall with a flushed face.

Matthew was a little embarrassed at first.

But very quickly.

He heard the sound of her heart beating.

Hence, he smiled.

Who knew that this smile would actually anger Sif. The girl flew into a rage out of humiliation and shook Matthew’s hand off.

“What’s so funny…”

She still wanted to say something.

In the next moment.

Her hand was once again held by that warm touch.

She was stunned.

“Let’s go.

“Let’s go take a look at this city.”

Matthew said.

..

On the street near the city gate.

Compared to Rolling Stone Town, which lacked entertainment, Jiliu City was much more prosperous.

It was said that there was a permanent theatre and circus here!

As the main traffic route from the south to the north.

Jiliu City was the human city most closely related to Jade Court.

Therefore, it was extremely developed in terms of commerce.

Matthew held Sif’s hand and strolled down the street.

He could hear the shouts of the peddlers and the sound of the carriage tracks rolling.

Sif was a little shy at first.

However, the atmosphere soon infected the two of them.

She looked around, and many small objects attracted her curious gaze.

The two of them walked for a while.

Suddenly.

An order came from the direction of the city gate.

“Make way, make way!”

“Windchasers are on duty. Please cooperate and move aside!”

At first, Matthew thought it was some bully.

However, the moment the voice sounded.

Most of the people on the street automatically made way.

Very quickly.

A row of tall knights in silver armour rode into the city on horses.

They quickly passed through the middle of the street.

The sharp ears under the helmets and the low voices of the residents on both sides exposed their identities.

This was the Windchasers from the Emerald Jade Court!

Matthew knew.

Jiliu City and Jade Court had signed an agreement on mutual assistance in offense and defense, and the diplomatic relationship between the two sides was of the highest level.

There was even a separate Windseeker camp in the city.

At the moment.

The Wood Elves had a high reputation in Jiliu City.

Not only did the people not complain about making way, but they were also quite cooperative.

At this moment, a low voice came from the crowd.

“Why is the Windseeker in such a hurry?”

“I heard some news. It seems to be related to the Silver Frost Brotherhood.”

“It shouldn’t be a big deal, right? The security of the city has always been very stable.”

” Don’t worry, I think I saw General Tarani leading the knights just now. With him leading the team personally, there won’t be any gangs that can’t be wiped out!”

“However, the knight beside him is a little unfamiliar…”

Matthew retracted his ears.

Then, he gently tugged at Sif.

“What are you looking at?”

Sif replied,

“I just felt that one of the Windseeker Knights just now was a little familiar.

“Maybe I saw wrongly!

“Let’s go to the square to take a look. I heard that there might be a tiger jumping through a fire ring performance today!”

As they spoke.

The two of them gradually disappeared into the crowd.

..

At the same time.

In the Windchaser camp.

Beanna nervously took off her helmet and said to Tarani,

” You brought me out on your own and even made me assume the identity of a Windseeker Knight. Will it be alright?”

Tarani said disapprovingly,

“Weren’t you bored in the Jade Court and wanted to come out for a walk?

“These are just a few remnants of the Silver Frost Brotherhood. What could happen?

“I don’t even need to personally take action. I’ll just let Li Wei lead the team in taking a look!

“Let’s go!

“Change your clothes, and I’ll take you to see something fun.

“Today is the day of the Gemstone King’s Legendary Pentathlon Challenge!

“If we miss it today, we can only wait for next month!

“Quick, quick, quick!

“Change your clothes!”

As she spoke, she looked at Beanna’s chest lecherously.

Then, Beanna mercilessly pushed her out of the door.
