Chapter 420: It's You Who Should Go, Right?
...
"Sif is right. Not everything can be done only after preparations are completed."
Matthew turned into a raven.
Flying over the wasteland north of Rolling Stone City.
At this moment, his heart was as free and refreshing as his flight path.
The experience of last night, like thunder and rain, washed away his fatigue and confusion.
Instead, a new belief was born.
He knew very well.
This adventure was not to protect the world - he did not have such a noble plot.
His purpose was very simple.
This major event that could change the world pattern made him encounter it, and he happened to have an opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Instead of staying there and waiting for news passively, he might as well take the initiative to take risks and join in the fun!
At least.
He wanted to find out what those people wanted to do!
This could also provide more bargaining chips and unique advantages for possible negotiations in the future.
The raven flew all the way north.
Not long after.
He saw rows of demoralized demon soldiers on the ground.
This is in the wilderness between the North Trade Station and the City of Rapids.
A faint mist emanated from the mossy hills in the west, covering up some of the demons' traces.
But in Matthew's eyes.
The whereabouts of these demons were as clear as transparent.
According to his observation.
After losing Osedro, the morale of the demon army plummeted.
Although each demon army has a separate great demon commander.
But not every commander is good at restraining his subordinates.
Just flew all the way here.
Matthew saw more than one demon team fall behind and run to other places along the way.
Some demons saw this scene and went to chase their companions at first, but they were separated from the main force as they chased, so they became part of the scattered soldiers.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the demon army in his impression!
The rigor and calmness that had fought with him outside the Rolling Stone City before disappeared without a trace.
From this perspective.
Osidero is indeed a genius commander among demons.
If Matthew's methods were not so tricky, ordinary people would probably be defeated by him!
"Now that the demon army has lost Osidero, its morale is also very poor. With the defense of Stormwind City and Hood's cunning, they should be able to hold out for a long time."
Matthew sent Hood some intelligence he had gathered along the way.
Then he completely got rid of this demon army.
He flew north across the jungle and finally came to the elves' territory.
The Jade Court was very deserted.
No one could be seen on the streets of the city.
As Matthew walked along, he felt that this place had become more silent than before.
Until he came to the gate of the wizard camp.
He saw more elves——
"Moon Day?"
Matthew found that an elite unit of the Wind Chaser was guarding the gate of the wizard camp.
They set up sentries here to closely monitor the surrounding situation of the wizard camp and strictly supervised the other entrance.
The situation in the camp looked good.
At least these Moons didn't break in and embarrass the mages inside.
Matthew walked over with a swagger.
Suddenly, two Moons drew their weapons and crossed them:
"Who are you?"
"This is a forbidden place!"
However, the actions of these two elves were quickly resolved by another elf in gorgeous clothes next to them.
It was a very beautiful female elf. She walked over lightly, quickly pushed away the weapons of the Moons, and ordered in a soft tone:
"Get out of the way."
"This is Mr. Matthew, a good friend of Ms. Beianna."
The two Moons hurriedly retreated.
The female elf smiled and explained to Matthew:
"Please forgive us, we are just following orders, and we have not made any threats or harm to the people in the camp."
Matthew looked at her pupils that were emitting a faint golden light.
Suddenly asked:
"Divine magician?"
The female elf's face flashed with surprise, and then she said happily:
"As you can see, the God of Elves responded to me. Not only me, but many people have received His blessing."
"This is the blessing of the Jade Court and the blessing of all life in Eindor."
"You shouldn't mind, right?"
The female elf was obviously still very young and didn't know how to deal with people.
Her temptation almost made Matthew laugh.
"I don't care about these, please make way."
Matthew walked quickly into the camp.
Immediately, two women came to meet him, and many magicians also came out of their barracks and cast various glances at Matthew.
"Matthew!"
"Master Matthew!"
The women who came forward were Terrani and Leslie.
Matthew calmed everyone down, then whispered to Leslie:
"What happened here after I left?"
Leslie answered clearly:
"Everything was normal at first. On July 10, a wizard predicted that a large number of demons would invade the continent of Aindor, so some of them planned to go to the Crucible House to verify it, but just when we were about to leave the camp, a group of wind chasers came and blocked the camp."
"It was Miss Beanna who took the lead. She told us some of the things happening outside and hoped that we could stay in the camp, otherwise something bad might happen."
"I tried to contact you, but the communication spell was cut off. Considering your previous instructions, we finally listened to Miss Beanna's advice. We didn't do anything these days, but everyone was very anxious..."
Matthew nodded.
Then he gathered all the wizards around him and told them what happened outside.
"...Anyway, I just killed the demon commander who besieged Rolling Stone City. The situation in the Rolling Stone Kingdom is relatively stable, but it's hard to say about other places in the south. If you want to leave, I can escort you for a while, but if your destinations are not the same, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of everyone..."
Matthew gave his advice bluntly:
"Staying in the camp or going to Rolling Stone City is the best option for me at the moment. Of course, the final choice is up to you."
"In addition, the Trace of the Dead project still needs manpower maintenance. Those who are stationed in the camp during this special period to take charge of maintenance tasks will receive three times the points reward..."
"You discuss it and give me an answer as soon as possible!"
Who knew that Leslie said decisively:
"We plan to go to Rolling Stone City!"
Matthew was surprised:
"Have you discussed it in advance?"
Leslie smiled and said:
"We haven't done nothing these days. In fact, we have imagined many situations and formulated relevant countermeasures."
"Even if we go to Rolling Stone City, we will regularly send a team responsible for maintaining the Trace of the Dead."
"I have arranged the specific work, just need your nod."
Matthew looked at the eager eyes of the mages in the camp and couldn't help reminding:
"You should understand what this means?"
Leslie smiled:
"It is our honor to serve the Destroyer Matthew."
The other mages also expressed similar ideas.
It seems that they don't need to worry about making this decision.
Matthew suddenly realized.
His name is indeed loud enough.
These mages were originally just following him to do the Trace of the Dead project. After the work is done, most of them will go back to their own homes.
But at this sensitive juncture.
If they followed him to Rolling Stone City, the meaning would be different.
They would become Matthew's true followers.
If it were before.
Matthew might still find it difficult to convince everyone.
But after the Scourge of the Undead and the Battle of Fame.
Obviously, there are not many non-legendary mages who would refuse Matthew's invitation!
"Okay, get ready, I will take you away."
Matthew had just finished communicating with the mages.
Telani came up impatiently, she grabbed Matthew's hand, pulled him aside, and said as she walked:
"I have to talk to you alone!"
But she hadn't finished her words yet.
There was a commotion at the entrance of the camp, and everyone looked back, only to see a human girl full of sacred temperament coming to Matthew surrounded by a group of elf believers.
"Matthew, you are here?"
"I have something to tell you, can we talk alone?"
Beanna looked at Matthew very gently.
"Hey, I was here first!"
Telani rarely expressed her dissatisfaction to Beianna.
She even glared at Beianna!
Matthew was also a little surprised to see this. Did the licking dog finally come to his senses?
But now is not the time to gossip about the subtle relationship between the two women.
He simply took the hands of the two women and walked towards his barracks:
"Let's go together."
Telani was a little embarrassed when Matthew pulled her, and she instinctively wanted to get rid of him;
But when she turned around and saw Beianna following Matthew very obediently, her movements immediately softened.
In the strange eyes of the elves and mages.
The three of them went into the house together and closed the door.
As soon as they entered.
Beianna's original calm and gentle expression suddenly disappeared, her expression became worried, and then she grabbed Matthew's hands, lowered her voice and said anxiously:
"Matthew, listen to me!"
"You'd better leave here immediately, it's not safe here!"
Terrani next to him immediately mocked:
"Why bother pretending?"
Beanna ignored him.
Her eyes were always fixed on Matthew:
"There are many unfamiliar faces in the Valley of the Gods, but their aura is very strong, I can feel it... Some of them are even stronger than the teacher!"
"It started from the day when the creatures of the abyss invaded Eindor. I asked the teacher if I should worry about the demons attacking the Jade Court. The teacher told me that I was worrying too much. He told me not to think too much, and then gave me more power and promised that I would become one of the highest rulers after the restoration of the Elven Dynasty in the future..."
"To be honest, this makes me even more uneasy..."
Beanna's tone was rarely terrified.
Terrani took advantage of the opportunity:
"Isn't this exactly what you want?"
Beanna looked at her and said:
"Yes, this is exactly what I want!"
"But it doesn't mean I will give up everything to pursue those things. I also have my own principles in my heart..."
Terrani interrupted her and asked jokingly:
"What principles?"
"The principle of being an accomplice to the evil?"
Beanna took a deep breath and her tone became stiff:
"Terrani, you are a spoiled giant baby!"
"To this day you still don't realize how you have escaped danger time and time again!"
"You told me yourself that you got into trouble when you were young and ignorant. If it weren't for your father who cleaned up your mess, I'm afraid you would have been in trouble. You would have been hanged by the elders long ago!"
"And now, the one who cleans your ass is no longer your father, but me and Matthew!"
"I don't understand where your pride and nobleness come from."
"Yes, I led people to surround this camp, but I was protecting you!"
"It's just like I frequently use the nightmare pendant on you!"
"I'm not accusing you of having any problems with your position. I can understand your thoughts and actions - but in the final analysis, is it because you don't have the ability to change all this that you can only get spiritual comfort by mocking the people who protect you, so that you can appear different and noble?"
Beanna became more and more excited as she spoke, and her face turned red.
This was the first time Matthew saw him lose his composure like this.
"I am very grateful that you protected me when I needed help the most. I really thank you."
"I do owe you a lot."
"But this does not mean that you can continue to indulge in the past and point fingers at what I do now - unless you can provide more meaningful help!"
"Let me make it clearer. If you can shut that damn mouth and convince Matthew with me to take you away from here - I can apologize to you immediately. Do you understand?"
Beanna stared at Terrani coldly.
The latter's face turned pale, but as Beanna cursed more and more fiercely, her tightly clenched fists slowly loosened.
"Let's go, both of you, take everyone else away from here."
"I don't know what will happen next, but the atmosphere in Shenmu Valley has become very strange. I don't know, you must listen to me and leave..."
Beanna regained her soft tone again.
Perhaps due to the previous persuasion, her voice became a little hoarse, giving people an extra sense of beauty.
Terrani took a deep breath.
She looked at Beianna blankly and painfully:
"What about you?"
"Can't you go with us?"
Beanna pursed her lips and said firmly:
"No, I want to go to Shenmu Valley. I will accompany the teacher to the end. This is the path I chose. I will not give up."
Telani asked unwillingly:
"Even if the old man leads you to the abyss?"
Beanna said solemnly:
"Even if it is the abyss, how can it become a demon? This is the fate I have accepted in my heart."
"I am different from you. I can't betray the teacher at this time, and I don't allow myself to continue to be cowardly at this juncture."
"Let's go, Matthew..."
She looked at Matthew again, and there was even a pleading tone in her tone.
But Matthew shook his head gently.
"Why?"
Beanna was very puzzled.
But a few seconds later.
She seemed to think of something, and two blushes appeared on her little face that had just eased.
Terrani threw a basin of cold water on him in a bad mood:
"He didn't stay for you, don't think too much."
Beanna glared at her fiercely:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing that the two women were about to argue again, Matthew spread his hands and tried to make his tone sound more relaxed:
"Enough, the quarrel ends here."
Then he looked at Beanna with a smile:
"I stayed here because I had my own things to do."
"Thank you for your reminder."
"You don't have to worry too much. After all, how do you know that Mr. Terrast and I are not like-minded?"
As soon as these words came out.
The two women's faces were full of astonishment.
"Tell Mr. Terrast for me."
Matthew said calmly:
"Just say that I am also interested in the Twin Heavens."
"And I hold the key to enter the Bloodthirsty Mountain. If he doesn't believe it, he can ask the dragon lich - the Crown of Sin is in my hand!"
...
Three hours later.
Shenmu Valley.
With a complicated look, Beianna led Matthew to a magnificent building.
"Push open the small door, turn left after the corridor, they are all inside."
Beanna was about to speak but stopped.
She seemed to have a lot more to say, but at this juncture, she just said softly:
"Be careful."
Matthew patted her shoulder and pushed the door in steadily.
Walking on the granite floor, there are dark bricks above and on both sides.
After passing through the corridor.
The space on the left hand side suddenly became bright.
Matthew saw a hall with a patio.
There were ancient stone pillars in the hall, and between the stone pillars, there was a long table.
There were several stone chairs on both sides of the table.
Most of the chairs were empty.
In other places, there were powerful lives sitting.
When Matthew came over.
Everyone's eyes were cast over.
He walked over with a smile on his face, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and familiar or unfamiliar faces appeared in his eyes-
The dragon lich who was trimming his nails with his head down;
The demon lord Eisner with a bad expression;
Sen'er with a hypocritical smile on his face and a flying knife in his hand-
There was also a round-faced, slightly fat man with a beard sitting next to him. The other party was wearing a robe full of religious atmosphere. Most likely, it was Hayek, the deputy leader of the Hades Cult, whom Viscount Fan had asked Matthew to investigate before;
On the opposite side of the table sat a pale vampire. Matthew had also met him, but at that time, the one who occupied the body of the vampire Mosong was the angel of eternal night Fleiner from the heaven. Now the soul in the other party's body also gave Matthew a familiar feeling.
But Matthew couldn't tell which "old friend" he was for a while.
There were some other faces.
But Matthew didn't have time to take a closer look--
"Are you looking for death?"
"Why is this guy here!?"
The demon lord Eisner shouted angrily.
At that moment.
Matthew felt the unprecedented pressure.
He knew that success or failure depended on this move.
So he withstood the pressure and continued to move forward.
He smiled as he walked:
"You should be the one to leave, right?"
"Or do you think Lord Yukrus is not qualified to participate in this feast?"
The next second.
Matthew no longer concealed and directly stimulated the breath in the void mark!
Immediately.
Everyone present showed an expression of disbelief on their faces!
