Finally, Matthew waved Lorraine off.
Then, he walked alone towards the Evening Wind Pier in the west of the Gold Coast.
At this moment.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light behind Matthew.
The image of the Sword Dancer slowly appeared.
“What’s wrong? Recently, he had been acting solo so much more than before.”
Matthew turned to look at Soldier.
The latter didn’t say anything. He just took out a long string from his cloak.
Matthew focused his eyes and saw that there was a skewer of struggling flying squirrels!
They were trapped together by Soldier like dumplings.
When they saw Matthew, the little flying squirrels looked at him with tears in their eyes, as if they were begging him to let them go.
“You mean… They have been watching me?
Through the spiritual fluctuations of the summoning contract, Matthew could barely understand what Soldier meant.
Soldier nodded.
The little flying squirrels immediately panicked. They could not help but wag their tails and beg for mercy. Their large eyes were filled with tears, and it was easy to soften people’s hearts just by looking at them.
Matthew rolled his eyes and immediately guessed that these little flying squirrels were Su Ya’s spies.
However, he had already left the rainforest. It was extremely difficult for Su Ya to keep an eye on him, so he did not have to be calculative with these small animals.
So he said to Soldier,
“Put them back in the rainforest.”
Soldier nodded blankly.
The next second, he shook his wrist, and the knots on the rope fell off. The little flying squirrels fell to the ground like eggs.
After landing, most of them fled in panic and disappeared into the rainforest in a short while.
At this moment, Matthew suddenly realized that there was a little flying squirrel standing in front of him, trembling with fear.
It only used its hind legs to support itself, its front claws retracted in front of its chest, and its eyes were filled with fear.
“Eh? It’s you?”
Matthew recognized it.
Wasn’t this the little flying squirrel that seemed to have been beaten a few days ago?
It had even offered Matthew berries in the bushes.
Most of the injuries on the flying squirrel’s face had already healed, but its eyes were still slightly swollen, making them seem even bigger.
“Why didn’t you go with your companions?”
Matthew bent down and asked patiently.
The little flying squirrel spoke in human language, “Lord Su Ya doesn’t even treat us, little flying squirrels as humans!
“No matter how good our work is, she always punches and kicks us!
“I can’t live another day like that. I don’t want to stay in the Black Banyan dream realm anymore.
“I want to follow you, Lord Matthew. Please give me a chance!”
Matthew looked at it playfully. “Why me?”
The little flying squirrel boldly said,
“Because only you have the hope of conquering Lady Su Ya! I hope that one day, when you really do that, you can let me, as your servant, have a share of the profits!”
Matthew was surprised by the flying squirrel’s ambition. “What do you want to do to Su Ya?”
The little flying squirrel immediately laughed evilly.
“I want to kick her hard!”
Matthew looked at it with interest. He realized that this little flying squirrel was different, so he asked again, “What’s your name?”
The little flying squirrel said,” I don’t have a name, and so do my 3,000
compatriots. Usually, Lady Su Ya can’t even tell who is who. She only knows how to say ‘hey hey hey’ very rudely. I’ve had enough of that woman. I want to defect! Please accept me!”
Matthew wanted to agree, but considering Su Ya’s cunning, he had another layer of consideration.
“If you want to follow me, it’s not impossible. I need you to prove your loyalty to me. How do I know that you will not betray me like you did Su Ya?” Matthew asked.
“That’s easy. Aren’t you a mage? You can cast a curse on me. If I betray you, I will be crushed to pieces immediately!”
Little Flying Squirrel said somewhat sorrowfully,” Actually, I also suggested that Lady Su Ya cast such a spell on us, but she didn’t even have the interest to cast a spell on us. Damn it! How much does she look down on our little flying squirrel? I have to take revenge on that woman!”
Matthew rested his chin on his hands and thought for a moment. “There’s no need to cast a curse, but you still need to go through a small test.
“I hope that you can return to Su Ya’s side now and pretend that nothing has happened. Didn’t she want you to monitor my every move?
“I hope you can monitor her every move for me.
“I will pass by the rainforest in a while. If your performance can satisfy me, I will consider taking you away with me.” The little flying squirrel thought for a moment.
“Sure, but how should I pass the information to you?”
“There’s no rush. Remember it first. On the day I return to the rainforest, find an opportunity to pretend to have been captured and report the information you’ve gathered over the past few days to me.”
Matthew encouraged, “If you really do a good job, then I won’t be stingy to fulfil my promise.”
The little flying squirrel immediately became excited, but soon after, he had a troubled expression on his face.
“What’s wrong?” Matthew noticed this.
I now have a chance to escape from the sea of misery,” the little flying squirrel said.” But I still have many brothers. If I escape alone, and they are still sinking under the violent rule of that bad woman, I will be very sad.” Matthew was helpless.
He could steal one squirrel from the Soul of the Rainforest but not a whole bunch.
Otherwise, if he really angered Su Ya, he would never be able to enter this rainforest again.
“I’m sorry for making things difficult for you.”
The little flying squirrel was depressed for a while before it regained its spirit.
“I will return to Lady Su Ya’s side and monitor her every move. However, before I leave, I have one last request. Can you give me a name? I don’t want to live namelessly like the other little flying squirrels..”
