Chapter 1329
Matthew's tone paused, and then he said calmly: "Okay, Professor Dimon, why are you looking for me so late? You have to know that you are only a second-year professor and can't control the sixth-year students. I can come here because of the You just fought with me on face."
"I understand, I understand, let's have a cup of tea first." Dak moved the cup filled with black tea.
The aroma of black tea gradually spread.
Matthew stared at the slightly rippling tea, but did not drink it: "Let's get down to business."
"Actually, it's all trivial matters." Patricia Bolin sat down on the sofa on the side and said quite casually, "We are all holders of Ash Fire, so it is necessary to get to know each other."
"Grey fire? What gray fire?" Matthew frowned.
Patricia glanced at him, then flicked her fingers and summoned her own [Fire of the Underworld].
Matthew's pupils shrank, but he still frowned: "What is this? Why does it smell so ominous?"
"Hey." Dak sighed, "Are you so confident that your [Fire of the Underworld] will not be noticed?"
Matthew frowned: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Dark said: "Matthew Beerbohm, there is no point in twisting and turning. We have no discrimination against those who hold [Fire of the Underworld], and we have no intention to plunder the [Fire of the Underworld] from those who can control it." ]. You have perfect control over [Fire of the Underworld], can you share some experience?"
As he spoke, he also summoned his own [Fire of the Underworld].
As the gray fire swayed, he said: "How do you do it, completely containing its aura without being affected by it?"
Then he and Patricia stared closely at Matthew.
Matthew was stared at by two eyes, and he could no longer pretend.
He straightened up suddenly and said, "Although I don't know what you are talking about? But doesn't it matter as long as you feed it?"
"Feed it?" Dark frowned and looked at Patricia Bolin.
Patricia Bolin immediately said: "[The fire of the underworld] will make people have the desire to duel. The desire is never-ending. How are you going to feed it?"
Matthew Beerbom said calmly: "People's desires cannot be compared. If I say that my desires are very shallow, they are easy to fill. Do you believe it?"
Dak thought for a while and said, "Tell me about it?"
Matthew knew that he could no longer hide it, so he said: "I met Huo Huo when I went to the royal capital last year to do business. After that, as you said, I did have some desire to duel with others. For this reason, I specially Wangdu stayed for a while to observe. I accidentally discovered other ash fire holders. They were fighting with each other and plundering each other, but I was different from them... Do you know the Paper Fighter? "
"Paper Fighter?" Dak's eyes showed doubts.
Patricia Bolin said: "Paper man fighting is a children's game. Two or more children put the paper man they made on the table, and each blows on it behind the paper man. If you can knock all other people's paper figures off the table, you will win. In short, it is such a game. But now, the game of paper puppets has evolved to a certain extent. "
Matthew Beerbom nodded and said: "Yes. Nowadays, some people make paper figures in a similar way to golems, and then make them fight each other. It is a kind of tabletop gladiatorial battle. I have especially liked fighting paper figures since I was a child. Later, I came across paper man wrestling by chance, and I became addicted to it. After being approached by Hui Huo, the first impulse I had was to fight with paper men, so I immediately found a place and made two temporary paper men. , watch them fight each other.”
"Wait!" Dak interrupted him and frowned, "Is it okay to fight against myself?"
Matthew Beerbohm said: "Why not? What I want to see is a fight between paper figures, not a fight between people. The ashes can reflect a person's innermost thoughts, and it can reflect the inner thoughts of a person." For me, just watching the paper figures fight each other is enough.”
After listening to this, Dak couldn't help but think silently.
Matthew Beerbohm's approach to Hellfire certainly took him by surprise.
I'm afraid even Patricia didn't expect this at all.
This is indeed an exploit of a version bug.
But this is obviously a bug that only Matthew can use, and it is not generalizable.
After all, for people who like to fight, you can't fight with your left hand and your right hand, right?
That can't satisfy their desire to win.
And another question is...
Dak simply asked: "Even if you use this method to fill the desire hole of [Fire of the Underworld], how do you do it, completely concealing its breath, and will not be held by other [Fire of the Underworld]?" Did you feel it?”
Matthew Beerbom said: "Maybe you haven't seen it. After feeding the ashes, it will close on its own and enter a state similar to dormancy. You see, people want to eat when they are full. Sleep. It’s the same thing.”
Duck looked at Patricia, who was also speechless at this time.
The two exchanged glances and sighed together.
It is indeed possible for Matthew Beerbohm to do it, but that should be because his paper fighting man satisfies the duel desire of [Fire of the Underworld], but does not provide new fuel for [Fire of the Underworld]. The [Fire of the Underworld] of others will be strengthened after every victory in the duel.
If this happens, it will naturally be impossible to be fed one day.
Dak said: "I can trust you. Can you summon your [Fire of the Underworld] to see? Don't worry, it belongs to you. As long as you don't harm others, we won't attack you."
Matthew Beerbom sneered in his heart, but still honestly summoned the [Fire of the Underworld].
And as he said, his [Fire of the Underworld] was completely rolled up, like a flower bud that had never bloomed, and it was not like the [Fire of the Underworld] of Dak and Patricia, with the flames swaying.
Dak observed carefully and finally confirmed: "It is indeed as you said, take it back."
Matthew Beerbom took back the [Fire of the Underworld].
At this time, his heart had been completely settled, and the surface was more calm.
Everything he said was true, and of course he was not afraid of Dak's exposure.
"It seems that the progress is very smooth. My previous concerns were really redundant."
He couldn't help thinking so.
...
After frequent contact with maids holding [Fire of the Underworld], Dark had already been accustomed to [Fire of the Underworld] and had lost his high vigilance when he first saw [Fire of the Underworld].
But there was nothing he could do about it.
In his view now, [Fire of the Underworld] was just food for [Coffin of the God of Death] and it really had no class.
After becoming a professor, he was somewhat influenced by Professor Kazer and his behavior was getting closer to Professor Kazer.
Unless necessary, students' privacy would not be touched.
For Matthew Beerbom, how to use [Fire of the Underworld] was his privacy.
Dark did not go into this aspect in detail.
...
With both parties being relatively restrained, there was no conflict in this meeting.
Dark only confirmed that Matthew Beerbom was the holder of [Fire of the Underworld] and could better control the desire caused by [Fire of the Underworld] and did not cause harm to others.
After that, he will report this matter to Professor Sylph. How to deal with it is something that Professor Sylph needs to consider.
For Patricia Pauline, Matthew's way of satisfying the duel desire of [Fire of the Underworld] obviously attracted her more, but after finding that it was not popular, she let it go.
As for Matthew Beerbom, there would be no objection.
So after the matter was over, he walked out of the office, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked back the way he came with a firm look, and soon disappeared.
After he left, Winnie Skadi and several girls went out through the wall.
"I thought there was something good, but this is it?" A girl said disdainfully.
"Such a beautiful night, why do you have to find a clown?" Another girl pointed to the place where Matthew disappeared and said sarcastically.
Winnie Skadi also frowned, wondering why Pandora had not arrived yet?
But Dak and Patricia in the office did not leave, but continued to drink tea and discuss.
The topic of their discussion first revolved around [Fire of the Underworld], and then talked about [Paper Figure Fighting]. Patricia Pauline also made two paper figures on the spot and played with Dak for a while.
Then, they talked about [Ragnarok], [Resurrection of the Gods], [The King's Resurgence], and various changes in the kingdom.
The fragrance of tea was overflowing, and the atmosphere in the office continued to ferment.
Winnie Skadi and others saw Matthew leave, and they thought Patricia should come out soon, so they showed up and waited, but they didn't expect that they would wait for more than half an hour.
They didn't wait for Patricia to come out, but waited for another person.
"Why are there so many people?"
Pandora walked over with a calm face and greeted Winnie and others.
Winnie and others looked at each other and immediately became excited.
"Good evening, Senior Doragon." Winnie smiled sweetly, which was unusual for her. "Why are you here so late?"
Pandora touched her shoulder, picked up the invisible bird sent by Winnie, threw it to her, and smiled slightly, "It's better to come later."
Winnie was confused.
But Pandora certainly didn't come to catch women as she thought.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, just right for a walk under the moon.

Chapter 843
Dak didn't know that his beloved senior was already standing outside the door. He was still chatting with Senior Patricia Pauline.
People always have the need to express themselves, and Dak is no exception. What's more, Patricia Pauline is really good at talking.
When Dak first met her, he was shocked by her humor. After more contact, he found that Senior Patricia Pauline was really funny.
Although Patricia Pauline is not a disciple of the sage, she was born in the city of knowledge, Sainz, and has a scholarly temperament.
Moreover, during the holiday last year, she had a deeper contact with the sages because of [Devil King Execution] and [Fire of the Underworld]. Maybe after another holiday, she will also be a disciple of the sage.
Therefore, people's fate is always very wonderful.
When encountering disasters, there is often a chance to be blessed by luck.
Dak had a good conversation with him and gained more insights from perspectives other than his own.
Among them, the insights into the changes in the kingdom were the most helpful to him.
During her time at the academy, Patricia Pauline still corresponded with several wise men she met during the holidays, and learned a lot of inside information from them.
Some of the inside information was even known to Dark.
Among them, the main focus was on the change in attitude of the eldest prince Charles and the eldest princess Eliza.
In fact, the sudden recovery of the king did not have as much impact on the people of the kingdom as imagined - or the impact had not yet spread from top to bottom.
But in the political circle of the royal capital, it had already caused an earthquake.
At first, the nobles thought that the old king's recovery was a short-term behavior similar to "last gasp".
But as things continue to develop to this day, the old king's complexion has returned to his prime, and he has clearly shown that he "has no intention of passing on the throne". All the forces that had previously clearly stood by Charles or Eliza have reshuffled, and most of them have returned to the king's banner, and only a few are still tied to Charles or Eliza's carriage.
Most of those few have an inseparable connection with Charles or Eliza, and cannot be separated at all.
Among them, the Duke's Mansion, as the leader of the Grand Princess's faction, is intertwined with the Grand Princess's power, and is a typical example of being inseparable.
But on the other hand, the connection between the Holy Church and the Grand Prince is unexpectedly not so close, and it took only a short time to retract its tentacles.
However, the Holy Church did not completely cut off its connection with the Grand Prince's power, and still maintained support within a limit.
But in short, there is no longer the previous "full support".
After losing the full support of the Holy Church, the power of the Grand Prince Charles quickly collapsed and disintegrated silently.
But the forces that supported him before were mostly old nobles of the old era, and it was natural for them to turn to the king again at this time.
For a period of time, the Grand Prince Charles almost lost the competitiveness of the "heir".
However, after the initial reshuffle, he gradually found the secret support of some forces and barely held on.
After all, the king's age is there. There is no sign of abdication now, but it will always be impossible to continue in ten, twenty, or even thirty years, unless... he controls the secret of immortality!
Not all the nobles in the House of Nobles are so well-informed. Most of them still know nothing about the "God's Resurrection". They will not consider whether there are gods involved in this matter.
So now, being loyal to the king on the surface and continuing to support the eldest prince in secret is also the choice made by most nobles.
In contrast, although the power of the eldest princess did not collapse as quickly as that of the eldest prince, the part that collapsed was really collapsed.
Unlike the eldest prince, after ten, twenty, or thirty years, the eldest princess is likely to have married, and in that case, according to tradition, she will never be eligible to inherit the throne.
By that time, the eldest prince will have won without fighting.
Unless their next generation rises again.
Therefore, until now, except for some emerging forces that have always supported the eldest princess, most of the forces that are still persisting are all heading for the Duke's Mansion.
