Chapter 39: Matthew's Living Room
"To the south, you had to go southeast after arriving at Serrated City. Along the way, you would cross Mount Doom, Voodoo Swamp, and Barbarian Tooth Peninsula. This way, they would have a chance to reach the south of the Su Country.
"The last method was to cross the Endless Sea by boat.
"In short, that country was very distant, mysterious, rich, and powerful.
"Did you know?
The leader of the Su Country had a legendary profession called " Emperor." They combined their own mana with the veins of the earth, and they could release invincible power with a raise of their hands. The Su people said that he was the embodiment of the true dragon.
"The emperor's wife usually received a legendary profession called " Empress." Legend had it that she could communicate with the phoenix above the nine heavens and also had powerful energy.
"The emperor, empress, and their officials guarded the land of the Su country.
"However, at the borders of the Su Country, in the endless abyss, there were always demons eyeing them covetously. In order to resist these demons, the emperors of the past generations built a vast and magnificent magical wonder-the Great Wall.
"It was said that even the shortest part of the Great Wall was more than 300 meters!
"The Emperor often went to the Great Wall to fight the demons in the Abyss. The mages under his command were all powerful characters, and they also had a special advanced profession, the Great Wall Mage.
"It was said that Great Wall Mages could use the power of the Great Wall to cast spells. Ten Level-17 Great Wall Mages working together could cast a large-scale destructive spell that was comparable to a Legendary Spell.
"Of course, the Empress also has her own group of mages, but their special advanced profession is called 'Jade Phoenix Mages.' It is said that their power comes from the phoenix that signed a contract with the Empress…"
..
Samantha's eyes lit up as she recounted the story.
Matthew listened quietly, but his heart was not calm.
According to her description, why did this Su Country seem so much like a magically modified ancient China?
After Samantha finished speaking.
Matthew said with a fascinated look, "That's an amazing country. So, did your friend tell you all that?"
Samantha nodded. " I believe you've guessed it as well. My friend came from the tower ship. He told me that their ship encountered a sea monster in the deep sea. In order to avoid the pursuit of the sea monster, they had no choice but to change their direction. In the end, because the ship was too damaged, they were forced to dock."
At this point.
She suddenly laughed at herself.
"It might be my wishful thinking to say that we were friends. Perhaps in his eyes, I was just a little girl who loved to read stories.
"He was the captain's son and was three years older than me. Their ship had countless snacks, and every one of them was an eye-opener for me.
"He took me to his father's room to use the Starry Mirror, a mirror that could see very far away, and he told me how they fought monsters that were more than 300 meters long in the deep sea.
"These things were like a dream to me at that time."
Matthew was moved. "Do you like him?"
Samantha waved her hand. "That's just an unrealistic fantasy of a young girl.
"He and I played together for about two months. Then, one day, they left quietly, just like when they arrived.
" I only remember the night before he left. He came down from the ship and brought me a lot of snacks. He told me that they were going out to sea to find a secret treasure left behind by a Legendary Master of the Su Country in the Endless Ocean. As long as they find that secret treasure, they can uncover a new path that will allow the mage to control the power of life and death at the same time.
"He said that he would come to me once he found the treasure trove and wanted to share it with me.
"One winter, the village was destroyed by bandits. I joined the Moonlight Society and became a Druid.
"Of course, he did not return.
"Sometimes, I can't even be sure if that magnificent black ship is a dream I had when I was young."
At this point.
Samantha's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
The living room was silent for a long time.
"So you came to me just to know if the secret treasure your friend mentioned exists?"
Matthew asked.
Samantha nodded, then shook her head in pain. " I'd rather it didn't exist. Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to continue facing my faith."
Matthew said seriously, " Your faith should be nature, not a god who holds a portion of nature's authority."
As he spoke.
He stood up and extended his hand to Samantha. "Give me your hand."
Samantha hesitated.
Finally, she placed her hand on Matthew's palm.
..
On the roof.
Rheagar only heard a brutal beast roar.
A strong wind blew.
The wild man rushed into Matthew's house at an astonishing speed.
"Let her go!"
Eli roared and wanted to break through the window.
However, in the next second.
A mighty power spread out from Matthew's body.
A warm breeze blew from all directions.
The house seemed to disappear.
In its place.
It was a warm and friendly oak forest!
Under an oak tree.
Matthew and Samantha were standing with their palms against each other.
As for Eli.
His attack was interrupted by the power of the domain.
He looked around in a daze.
Suddenly.
He let out a long and unbelievable roar!
Five seconds later.
The oak forest twisted and disappeared.
