Chapter 230 Won’t Your Girlfriend Be Angry?

…

Matthew was speechless.

Seeing that Hibbert still looked confused, he couldn't help but point to the magic words in the sky.

Hibbert suddenly realized:

"Oh, you are Matthew! Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

With that he quickly canceled the trick of releasing magical fireworks.

Then he stretched out his hand to Matthew awkwardly:

"Should we shake hands first?"

Matthew extended his gloved right hand in a friendly manner, but Hibbert extended his left hand.

So Matthew also stretched out his left hand, but in this gap, Hibbert awkwardly stretched out his right hand.

The two looked at each other.

Before Matthew could react, Hibbert gritted his teeth, stretched out his hands like lightning, crossed his hands and held Matthew's hands, and then swung them up and down vigorously.

"It was really difficult, but I finally succeeded in shaking hands."

Hibbert said with relief.

Matthew's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

Hibbert looked at him with clear eyes:

"What should we do next?"

Matthew could only say:

"Maybe we should sit down somewhere and talk?"

Hibbert suddenly realized:

"Oh of course, this is how normal people treat guests."

"You come with me."

He behaved very politely.

Matthew secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Hibbert towards the side.

The latter didn't go far, however.

He led Matthew to a bench in the square next to him and sat down silently.

Hibbert had his knees together and was sitting obediently, but he looked a little embarrassed.

Matthew stood next to him, feeling the strange looks of countless busybodies around him, and his cheeks felt slightly hot again.

"What's wrong?"

Hibbert said nervously:

"I don't know what people out there are supposed to do, but this chair does meet the criteria of being able to sit down and talk - maybe you should tell me more criteria?"

If it were anyone else, Matthew would definitely feel that the other person was playing tricks on him.

But Hibbert feels particularly sincere.

Although Matthew felt uncomfortable, he didn't have much disgust.

So he tried to express himself more clearly:

"I felt like we needed a quieter, more private setting rather than being in the public eye talking about what's going to happen next."

Hibbert said "Oh."

He glanced at the onlookers around him with some embarrassment:

"I wanted to drive them all away, but I felt that it was a bit bullying and unreasonable, so I let them do it."

"Well, let's see. My demiplane is pretty big. How about we go sit inside?"

Said.

Hibbert quickly opened a portal.

A lilac magical light flashed past.

Matthew hesitated for a moment, then entered the door with Hibbert under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Out of sight of onlookers.

Matthew felt extremely relaxed.

But the situation in the demiplane in front of him also surprised him——

The scope of this demiplane is much larger than the area that a normal mage can open up.

Matthew looked over and couldn't see the end.

But this place is too deserted.

Apart from the vast desert, there were only a few cactus dangling in Matthew's eyes.

"You like the desert?"

Matthew asked.

Hibbert shook his head and said:

"No, I'm just too lazy to take care of it. A new demiplane must have a kind of terrain and a kind of plant, so I chose desert and cactus. So far, they are doing well."

Matthew took a few steps and his expression changed slightly.

This demiplane is indeed desolate.

But it gives people a feeling of bursting with vitality, as if a force is suppressing this vitality.

That force is obviously Hibbert, the master of the demiplane.

In fact, whenever he wants to.

I'm afraid this place can become a sub-dimension with a relatively complete ecosystem at any time!

"Is this genius?"

Matthew was secretly shocked.

He did not look down upon Hibbert because of his lack of knowledge of the world.

on the contrary.

He began to realize that Hibbert's talent was greater than he had imagined.

"As long as the field he masters is injected into this demiplane, both will produce a qualitative leap. Hibbert's field may even be directly sublimated, reaching a state that ordinary legendary mages would envy..."

Matthew thought in his mind.

"Field sublimation" is usually a goal that legendary mages strive to achieve. Only in sublimated fields can they have the opportunity to come into contact with the more core "original laws", and above the original laws is the pinnacle of the field that a mage can master. ——

"Fruit of Innocence".

Although Matthew currently masters many fields, none of them shows signs of improvement.

He knew very well that this was because his understanding and perception of the field was relatively weak.

Although he vaguely holds the key to entry into the field, if he wants to continue to deepen, he may need more efforts.

But Hibbert is different.

He seemed naturally endeared to all the rules of magic.

There were signs of domain sublimation before the legend, which is enough to prove everything.

No wonder he is considered one of the top three mage talents in history!

Thoughts flashed by.

Matthew looked at Hibbert beside him and was about to say something, but found that the latter was looking at him with lifeless eyes, obviously in a daze.

Matthew waited for a while.

However, Hibbert still had a stupid expression.

He had to cough:

"Are you thinking about something important?"

Hibbert's eyes suddenly began to focus, and he looked at Matthew, with a puzzled and relieved expression on his face:

"Oh, I'm just thinking habitually. There are always some difficult questions in my brain, and I will think about them uncontrollably, which causes me to be in a daze often. Sorry."

Matthew asked curiously:

"Difficult questions? What are they specifically?"

Hibbert looked thoughtful:

"It's hard to explain it in a few words. For example, there is a question that was born when I took the entrance examination for the magic academy when I was a child, and I have never been answered until today."

Matthew looked encouraging:

" Tell me about it. "

Hibbert said slowly:

"I remember very clearly that there were 102 students in the square at that time, more girls than boys, but they were all very excited, some were whispering, and some pretended to be calm but were actually trembling all over.

Someone told us in advance that the entrance examination for the magic academy was to learn magic tricks.

The specific rules are that everyone gathered in front of a huge magic stone tablet, which was engraved with various magic words, recording all the magic tricks ever discovered.

Within two hours.

As long as you can learn three magic tricks, you can become an apprentice of a general magic academy;

Five magic tricks will have the opportunity to enter the elite magic academy;

More than ten magic tricks will directly become an apprentice of the palace mage. "

Hearing this.

Matthew felt that he had guessed the truth, but he couldn't help asking:

"How many have you learned?"

Hibbert thought for a moment:

"516."

Matthew's eyes jumped:

"So why are you confused?"

Hibbert sighed and said:

"The little girl next to me tried her best but only learned three."

"And the boy from the noble family in front of me cried for a long time and couldn't even learn one."

"Since then, I have had such doubts in my heart: Why can't they learn? Why am I so special? Why do I receive such preferential treatment?"

"Everything that happened later intensified my thinking. Everyone said I was a genius, but no one told me why it was like this."

"I am confused because of this, and I am in pain because of the confusion. I really hope someone can help me. Can you tell me why this is happening, Matthew?"

He looked at Matthew with a particularly sincere and clear look.

Matthew resisted the urge to punch him.

"Sorry, Hibbert, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer. If I were by your side at that time, I might be similar to that little girl who only knows three tricks."

Matthew shook his head and sighed.

Hibbert sighed heavily when he heard this.

At this moment.

A strange light suddenly shone on Hibbert's body!

His face changed, and his voice trembled slightly:

"It's bad, Matthew!"

At that moment.

Hibbert's face turned extremely pale!

"What's wrong?"

Matthew was startled.

On the data bar.

...

"Hipbert, your conversation partner, automatically promoted to Legend, and his level was raised to LV21.

Hibbert is using the Legendary Law to reshape his body..."

...

"Matthew, give me your hand, help me!"

Hibbert looked painful.

Matthew didn't hesitate, and immediately handed over his left hand, but Hibbert bit his palm!

Matthew's eyelids jumped because of Hibbert's biting, and his intuition told him that this guy must have bitten his skin!

The next second.

A strong heat flowed into Matthew's left palm.

Matthew wanted to slap Hibbert away.

But under the injection of that heat flow.

He forced himself to hold back.

After a moment.

Hibbert opened his mouth with relief, looking at Matthew with gratitude.

Matthew looked at the data bar silently.

…

"Hint: You received 10,000 XP from Hibbert!

You noticed that Hibbert forcibly interrupted the automatic promotion of Legend.

His level was restored to LV20."

…

"Did you just enter Legend?"

Matthew said in a hoarse voice.

Hibbert cast a healing spell on Matthew's palm and answered casually:

"It seems so."

Matthew couldn't help but continue to ask:

"Do you often enter the legend?"

Hibbert answered honestly:

"About once a month. I handled it every time before, but I have been thinking about the Watcher's Highland recently and forgot about the automatic promotion. Fortunately, you are here! Otherwise, it almost caused a disaster!"

Hearing this.

Matthew felt mixed emotions:

"Why is the promotion to legend a disaster?"

Hibbert explained:

"My mentor's only requirement for me is not to enter the legend before the age of 30."

Matthew asked:

"How old are you this year?"

Hibbert thought for a while:

"28 years old? Maybe 25, but definitely not 30."

"Oops, how old am I this year?"

"But it doesn't matter. I'll find out when I get time to go home and ask my mother."

Look at him talking to himself.

this moment.

Matthew finally understood why Margaret was gnashing her teeth when she mentioned the Temple Mage.

She worked hard for the path of legend, and had to risk her life to win a chance.

But what about Hibbert.

Even if he eats, drinks, or sleeps, he may automatically be promoted to legend!

Matthew felt like a cheater.

But compared to these top monsters in the league.

He is nothing!

Fortunately, in the world of mages, talent does not mean everything.

Matthew quickly balanced his mentality:

"I can only say that your talent in magic is enough to make everyone envious."

Hibbert said indifferently:

"Envy? Maybe, but I'm not happy."

Matthew couldn't help but retort:

“An unhappy person is never happy at any time.”

"Compared to an unhappy ordinary person or an unhappy magic genius, which one do you think is happier?"

Hear this.

Hibbert's eyes were stunned, and then he looked apologetic:

"You're right, maybe I'm too greedy."

"The majority of people in life are unhappy. With such a talent, I should have become more content.

Too bad I can't control my brain.

He tortured me all the time and ordered me to think about endless questions. This process was really painful for me. "

“Sometimes I even doubt that I am not who I am anymore.”

Matthew frowned:

"Why do you say that?"

Hibbert recalled:

"Before I was 12 years old, I was a carefree and smart kid. I was happy every day."

"Of course I would also think at that time. I would think about the birds in the sky, the shells on the seashore, and why adults want to make love, but I would never be as confused as I am now."

“I enjoyed the thinking process at that time.”

"But after the magic entrance exam when I was 12 years old, my magical talent was completely awakened. Since then, my brain has seemed to be occupied by others. Sometimes I am confused and sometimes extremely sober."

“Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, is there some powerful consciousness awakening in me?

For example, the fallen goddess of magic?

Did she give me a powerful magical talent and secretly hide it in my body, ready to replace it at any time?

The more I think about it, the more I think this possibility is quite reasonable.

do you know?

Ever since I awakened my powerful magical talent, everything I do has been extremely easy.

Even when I encounter a problem, I just have to stand still in front of it and it will automatically solve itself.

Can you feel this painful feeling? "

Matthew rubbed his temples:

"Sorry, I only feel a little pain when I can't learn the spell."

"So as to whether there is a powerful being hidden in you, have you consulted a more powerful mage?"

Hibbert nodded:

"I have asked many legendary mages."

"Mr. Ekmund believed that too much meaningless thinking made me lose the ability to distinguish illusions from reality. He asked me to practice more meditation and empty my mind."

"Ms. Isabel told me that the magic goddess is far less talented than me, so there is no need to worry about this."

"Mr. Roderick said to me that he saw my trajectory in the long river of destiny. I will go very far and leave my own mark on this time and space, so there is definitely nothing strong about me. consciousness."

"And recently I visited Mr. Chen to get his opinion."

Matthew asked curiously:

"What did Chen say?"

Hibbert said seriously:

"He told me to eat shit."

Matthew almost laughed.

However, Hibbert's next sentence made his scalp tingle even more:

"However, this does not solve the problem. All I can say is that shit is not as unpleasant as imagined."

Matthew's breath hitched.

I couldn't help but hold my head with my hands.

This is too explosive...

He was in a very complicated mood right now. He was envious of Hibbert's astonishing magic talent, but also worried about the other's mind-numbing mental state.

Seeing that Hibbert seems to have something to say about eating shit.

Matthew quickly changed the conversation:

"So you've been in Watcher's Heights for a week?"

"Any findings?"

Hibbert shook his head decisively:

"No."

Matthew wondered:

"So what have you been doing for the past week?"

Hibbert said calmly:

"I stay in the square where you just found me. Sometimes I sit on the ground, sometimes I sit on a chair, and more often than not I lie on the chair and look at the sky."

Matthew was speechless.

really.

The Silver Council's concerns are not without reason.

This guy may be a genius, but expecting him to solve the problems in Watcher's Heights is a fool's errand.

"Okay, then you continue to stay here and don't move around."

"I'm going to collect some information nearby."

Matthew coughed and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Hibbert grabbed him:

"There's no need to go, just wait until he solves the problem by himself."

Matthew was surprised:

"If you don't do it, how can the problem be solved by itself?"

Hibbert explained:

"Didn't I tell you that whenever I encounter a problem, it will be solved automatically. I just need to stay where I am and think."

"Don't think this desert is desolate. In fact, these sands are soft and comfortable to lie on. Why don't you lie down with me for a while."

"Maybe the problem will be solved while lying down."

Matthew laughed dryly:

"Sorry, but I have my own way to solve things."

Hibbert also let go of his hand:

"Okay."

"Then I'll go with you."

However, as soon as he finished speaking.

A red light flashed, and a portal appeared above the desert, and a female wizard walked out of the door in a hurry.

She wore a short robe that highlighted her lines, and her pair of white legs made people's eyes hurt.

She had a beautiful face, a cold temperament, and a strong magical aura. She was obviously a wizard of a high level.

"I found the hiding place of the King of Withering, Hibbert!"

The female mage's voice was very clear:

"The headquarters of the Withering Cult is indeed built deep in the Helen Mountains. It is hard to imagine how they crossed half of the Helen Mountains and the vast Yunshang Plateau to send a large number of cultists to the Watcher Highlands. I guess there must be high-level mages among them, and long-distance transmission springboards were built in many places on the Yunshang Plateau, otherwise the siege that night would not have happened."

After saying this.

She turned her head to look at Matthew, her face slightly cold, and her chin raised high:

"Who is this man?"

Hibbert explained:

"Martin."

"A registered mage sent by the Silver Council."

The female mage hesitated:

"Martin? But isn't the notice from the Silver Council written as Matthew?"

Matthew secretly shed tears in his heart.

Although this female mage doesn't look easy to get along with, she should be a normal person.

So he took the initiative to speak:

"I am Matthew, from Rolling Stone Town. The Silver Council commissioned me to come to Watcher Highlands to investigate the situation here."

The female mage nodded slightly and introduced herself with a proud expression:

"Fei Liwen, the temple mage, the second-class scroll mage of the Temple of Wisdom."

Her tone sounded very proud.

But Matthew could only cater to her on the surface.

After all, he was born in the wild and didn't really understand what these titles meant.

Fei Liwen said:

"I have completed the preliminary investigation. As I just said, the source of the unrest in Watcher Highlands is the guy named King of Withering. As long as we kill him, the problem will be solved."

Matthew asked cautiously:

"What about the druids?"

Fei Liwen looked a little impatient, but still answered reluctantly:

"Those wild men took the initiative to shrink their forces and put most of the guardians around the underground temple, where the ancient gods of nature fell and the treasure house of the earth is located."

"The Druid Cult is so nervous that I don't even bother to pay attention to them. They obviously have more manpower than us, but they only know to ask us for help instead of taking the initiative to attack. It is said that the only little druid who volunteered to attack was captured."

"If you ask me, these wild men have no ability to protect this land at all, and the Alliance should not give Watcher Highlands to them."

Fei Liwen's tone was very strong.

At first glance, she is the kind of woman who has been in a high position for many years and bosses others around.

From the moment she appeared.

She never looked at Matthew straight in the eye.

Only when facing Hibbert, her attitude would change 180 degrees. Not only her eyes became gentle, but also her tone was very soothing, as if she was afraid that Hibbert would misunderstand her if she spoke too quickly.

Her love for Hibbert was obvious at a glance.

"The Silver Council said that the Far North Floating City only sent one Hall Mage to investigate the matter, and that was Hibbert."

"In that case, Fei Liwen came here on her own initiative. Maybe she was worried that Hibbert couldn't complete it alone, so she planned to do it for her?"

"If that's the case, I can get 1 million by lying down, and it's nothing to endure her bad temper."

Matthew looked at Hibbert with a subtle look.

No wonder this guy said that the problem would be solved by himself.

There are dogs who work hard for you in love!

"In short, Matthew, you and I will go together to kill the King of Withering, and this matter will be solved."

Fei Liwen said firmly.

Matthew asked:

"What about Hibbert?"

Fei Liwen answered very strongly:

"It's good for him to rest here. As noble as he is, he is not suitable for fighting and killing. The two of us can do this well."

"Don't worry, I don't need you to do it. I can do it myself. You just need to cooperate with me when the time is right."

After listening to this, Matthew did not resist too much.

He said:

"You can kill the King of Withering, but before that I plan to go to the Druid Cult to see."

He was mainly concerned about the situation of Eli and Leila.

However, Fei Liwen frowned:

"You don't believe my investigation results?"

Matthew was already a little disgusted at this time:

"I need to investigate some other things."

Fei Liwen said unhappily:

"Is your business more important than the alliance's mission?"

"Do you have to do it now?"

"If the alliance's mission is delayed because of your affairs, who will bear the final responsibility?"

Matthew was amused:

"Is there something wrong with your logic?"

"When I first arrived, I was held accountable just because I had to conduct on-site investigations."

"Then Mr. Hibbert has been lying here for a week. Has he delayed the alliance's mission?"

Fei Liwen said angrily:

"You are not allowed to say that about Hibbert!"

"Besides, with his talent, everything he does should be done. Who in the league dares to hold him accountable?"

The other party said so.

Matthew was no longer in the mood to argue with her:

"Farewell."

He strode toward the exit of the demiplane.

"I will complain to the Silver Council!"

Feliwen said coldly.

Matthew smiled and ignored her.

But at this time.

He looked at the figure following him in surprise.

at this time.

Fei Liwen couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Hibbert!"

"Why are you following him?"

Matthew also looked at Hibbert in confusion:

"Yeah, why are you following me?"

Hibbert said oh.

He explained to Feliwen:

"The instruction from the Floating City and the Parliament is that we hope that we cooperate with each other and set up an investigation team. If Martin is unwilling to cooperate with us, then we can cooperate with Martin."

Fei Liwen was very angry:

"Why? He is just a registered mage!"

Hibbert thought for a while:

"Martin just did me a big favor."

Feliwen's chest heaved violently, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"But I'm your girlfriend!"

"I'm the one doing you a big favor!"

"I am the one who gives you everything without reservation!"

Unexpectedly, Hibbert said seriously:

"No, you are just coveting my body and mind."

Feliwen's cheeks instantly turned red.

She covered her face with her hands and screamed hysterically.

Matthew was impressed.

However, Hibbert grabbed his hand and left the demiplane.

By this time, the crowd in the square outside had dissipated.

The two left quickly.

Matthew walked a few steps, looked back, and found that Feliwen was following him from a distance, but those eyes looked at him as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Matthew coughed lightly:

"Isn't this bad?"

"Won't your girlfriend be angry?"

Hibbert shook his head and said:

"She's not my girlfriend."

Matthew looked surprised:

"Really? But I see you are acting intimately."

Hibbert paused:

"I have nothing to do with that woman."

"There is a child between us though."

This isn't the first time Matthew's jaw has dropped.

He couldn't help but look back at Feliwen, who was very resentful.

What is the relationship between these two people?

But Hibbert wouldn't say.

He didn't have the nerve to continue asking for more information.

The two walked westward along the intersection.

Soon we arrived at the place where the druids gathered——

Holy oak woodland.

The buildings and trees here have the feel of a Druid camp.

Rows of treehouses rising from the ground.

A sea of ​​flowers blooming towards the sun.

Boundless green lawn.

There is also a ceremonial ground that contains a lot of growth power.

Just walked into this area.

Matthew could feel a warm feeling.

That is the realm called nature that welcomes his arrival.

Normally this must be a place with extremely beautiful scenery.

But now.

Many treehouses have burned down.

Much grass was trampled.

The streets were littered with rubbish and the remains of Molotov cocktails.

If there are still some people in the center of Cross City.

The streets here are almost empty.

Most of the remaining houses have locked doors and windows.

Matthew could feel a pair of wary eyes peeking from behind the window.

Ahead is the Oak Wall.

Beyond the Oak Wall you will reach the headquarters of the Earth Order.

This wall of oak trees is extremely famous in the South.

It is a guardian ceremony composed of hundreds of oak trees over 500 years old closely arranged together.

This is a place of pilgrimage in the hearts of most druids in the South.

But when Matthew got closer, he discovered it.

At this time, there are many minions of the Wither Order who are carrying flammable materials in an attempt to burn this area to the ground!

The members of these cults were just walking on the street with such swagger.

No one dared to stop them.

The druid didn't even see a single one.

"The minions of these cultists are growing like weeds. I have killed hundreds of people in the past few days, but they seem to be resurrected. Well, I have killed the one just now three times, but today I still don't know where to start from. It came out of nowhere."

Feliwen's voice sounded faintly in Matthew's ears:

"So I advise you not to think about killing them all. These people have evil magic in their bodies and there is no way to completely eliminate them through normal means."

No need for Fei Liwen to remind you.

Matthew can also feel the strange power of these cultists.

This power carries a powerful twist.

This makes the cultists look like zombies who only know how to destroy.

At this time, some cultists noticed the approach of Matthew and others.

They quickly gathered around.

"Let's go first."

Fei Liwen urged impatiently.

Matthew nodded gently.

But at this moment.

A row of eye-catching words suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

...

"Hint: You have obtained a new task "Self-destruction"!

Self-destruction: The withered believe that everything will eventually decay and the world will wither. In this case, let them take the lead in bearing the feeling of life withering!

Task requirements: Kill 1,000 withered believers/Kill the withered king.

Task rewards: A lot of XP/Wild form (Silver Dragon)"

...

The goal of adding more chapters for monthly tickets is almost achieved. Let's do this. Each of my chapters is about 5,000 to 6,000 words. If we calculate it directly based on 6,000 words, then one chapter will add 6,000 words. Next, I will update more than 7,000 words every day, at least for 7 days, and try to stick to it longer!
