Chapter 38: Matthew's Living Room
..
Grabbed by Rheager, Eli instinctively wanted to counterattack, but he restrained himself at the critical moment. His intuition told him that the man in front of him did not seem to have any malicious intentions.
He frowned and pondered the meaning of Rheager's question.
Then, he shook his head and said, "No."
Rheager was a little surprised.
Matthew was well-known for being liked by girls. He thought that, just like him, Eli was a family member of the " victim girls."
"I'm sorry." Realizing that he had lost his composure, Rheager let go of his hand and sighed. "I really envy you.
"You don't know how popular that Necromancer is among the underage girls. If you have a daughter, please keep an eye on her, or you'll regret it!"
Eli's lips quivered slightly.
In the end, he said truthfully,
"The one who just went in was my girlfriend."
Rheager widened his eyes.
The two men on the roof fell into a dead silence.
..
In Matthew's living room.
The atmosphere was also a little strange at first.
When two young women with different figures and looks appeared in a sealed space, a few meaningful eye exchanges were inevitable.
Very quickly.
Sif smiled sweetly.
"Matthew, do you have guests? You guys go ahead. I'll go to the kitchen with Peggy."
As she spoke.
She actually hooked her arm around Peggy's arm with incomparable ease.
The two of them went to the kitchen affectionately.
Not long after.
Laughter came from the kitchen.
Samantha looked away and asked curiously, "Are all human girls so bold now?"
Matthew shook his head and smiled. "Sif is an exception." He poured Samantha another glass of milk.
"I came to look for you today because of what you said the other day." Samantha went straight to the point. "At first, I didn't think that what you said was right, but your words reminded me of the past... A friend."
She took a sip of milk and pressed her lips together to wipe away the white foam. Her beautiful face revealed a deep reminiscence.
"In fact, it has been a long time. There was someone who said something similar to me, but at that time, I was too young, and I lacked knowledge of this world.
"I thought about it carefully. Although you are a necromancer, you don't look like a bad person.
"That day in the hive, I saw you transform into a raven. That wasn't a mage's ability. That is the shapeshifting form that only druids have.
"No matter how bad the situation was, the Goddess of Moonlight would never give the title of Moonwalker to someone who had nothing to do with Druids.
"It was these thoughts that prompted me to look for you. I want to know if you can really master the abilities of both nature and immortality at the same time."
Matthew smiled. "Sorry, this is my secret."
Samantha blushed.
She seemed a little uneasy.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry into your secrets. I just... I just want to confirm one thing."
Matthew crossed his hands and rested his chin on them.
"Why don't we talk about your friend first? He's the biggest reason why you came to find me, isn't he?"
He thought Samantha came to him because she was convinced by his wonderful debate. He did not expect that there was another reason. This made Matthew feel a little frustrated and curious. What kind of friend would make Samantha, an old-fashioned Druid, dare to break through her shackles and come to him?
Samantha was silent for a while.
After a long time.
She then slowly said, "Alright, about my friend, I have to start from my hometown. My hometown is a village by the sea. My parents and the other adults in the village make a living by fishing.
"I don't have many memories of that village. I don't know why, but I was nine or ten years old at that time, but my memories of my hometown are so vague.
"I only remember that one day, all the people in the village ran out to watch some festivities. My mother pulled me along. It was on a shoal with jagged reefs. We saw a huge, magnificent, majestic, and exquisite tower ship on the shore. No matter what words I used, I couldn't express the shock I felt when I saw that ship for the first time.
"It was like the armor of a god, making people feel awe when they saw it.
"On the ship, there was a flag with golden lines on it, and the patterns on it were also very beautiful.
"The villagers had never seen such a flag before.
"Many years later.
"I found it in Jade Court's library.
"That was the flag of the 'Su country'."
At this point.
Samantha paused and stared at Matthew with a strange look. "Do you know about the Su Country?"
Matthew quickly understood the emotions in Samantha's eyes.
That emotion was called anticipation.
"Sorry, I don't know."
Matthew only felt that the term Su country did not seem to conform to the common language habits of this continent.
"Alright then."
Samantha's eyes flashed with disappointment. "Most of the people in Aindor don't know much about Su country. After I became a Druid, I went crazy looking for traces of Su country.
"I only know that the Su Nation is on the other side of the Endless Ocean. If you depart from the Gem Coast, there are three ways to find that legendary country.
"If you headed north, you would cross the Eternal Icefield and the Road of Desolation. You would pass through the barren and dangerous Far East, and you would have a chance to reach the northern part of the Su Country."
