A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 358
Chapter 358: Domain: Transformation!
Translator: Lonelytree
It was close to four in the morning, and there were already people selling fresh vegetables on the agricultural products street behind the posthouse.
Everyone was just staring at each other on the street.
Therefore, under Zeller’s suggestion, they went to the office hall of the liege’s residence.
Based on Matthew’s understanding of Zeller, this arrangement was probably to wait for the negotiations here to be completed and seamlessly connect to the morning meeting later.
He yawned from sleepiness, but in this situation, he could only ask Madam Wesley, who had been hurriedly woken up, to brew a few more cups of coffee.
In the office hall.
The atmosphere was a little strange.
The three giants of Rolling Stone Town had their own duties, and Lorraine sat in the guest seat.
Richard, on the other hand, was leaning on his cane. He was the only one who was not seated. He claimed that he liked to stand.
The confrontation between the two Legends could not be more obvious.
But Rheagar and the others were obviously happy to see this happen.
Matthew knew that Lorraine’s appearance was still a little stressful for them. If it weren’t for Richard, they might have been at a disadvantage before the negotiations began.
But even if it was Richard, Rheagar usually could not order him around. This old gentleman seemed to only care about the work of the five-member council.
Of course, he had also done a lot of thief-catching.
Matthew suspected that Richard had contributed to the good security of Rolling Stone Town.
The silence was broken by Lorraine.
He smiled and looked at the others.
Don’t look at me like you’re looking at a poisonous snake. Matthew and I are very good friends. After fighting side by side last night, I thought I was already considered half of ‘your friend’.”
Everyone looked at Matthew with questioning eyes.
Matthew nodded slightly and asked Lorraine, ” Do you still need to act as Lady
Alena?”
” There’s no need for that anymore. The assassins of the ‘Church of the Underworld ‘ have been captured, and Alena has probably already taken action against the situation at Deep Blue Harbor. My performance should come to an
end. ”
Lorraine explained,
” The Church of the Underworld is one of the more active criminal organizations on the East Coast. They are also very interested in Rolling Stone Town. I originally came to warn you, but since Silver Snake is here, there’s no need for that.”
As he spoke, he could not help but complain,
“Matthew, you should have told me that the silver snake was here. Then, I wouldn’t have been so nervous.
“After all, Silver Snake is a legendary Rogue class, and its greatest feature is that it was good at dealing with its own. By that, I mean other rouges.
“After all, rogues are little mice, and silver snakes are best at eating mice.
“Where the silver snakes live, it’s normal for the rogues within a hundred miles to be wiped out. Am I right?”
Then, he looked at Richard provocatively.
Richard’s expression was calm. He said unhurriedly,
‘ What a coincidence. I also know some of the abilities of the Dusk Chant. I heard that you can draw power from the destruction and desolation of grand events.
“Wherever bad things happen, you will rush there. Although the bad things are not caused by you, no one welcomes your arrival.
“That’s why, in the Age of Enlightenment, the gods called you crows.
“I have a more vicious guess. Since you can draw power from destruction, why don’t you create your own destruction? Isn’t that easier?”
Lorraine revealed a fearful expression.
“Snakes are indeed the most vicious life forms.
“It was true that I could draw power from the destruction and fall of major figures, organizations, and even worlds. However, the core of a bard was to observe and sing, but never participate.
“If you want to accuse me of bringing disaster to Rolling Stone Town, then I can only say that you are gravely mistaken.
“But I can understand. After all, snakes generally don’t have a large brain capacity.”
Klcnarcl sneered,
“But your demigod domain is deception and performance. It’s not too much for me to suspect that these Drows are part of your performance.”
Lorraine did not back down.
“Is that so? Do you think you have the value to be cheated? I don’t think you’re qualified to be my audience.”
“The two of you, don’t be angry.” Zeller took the initiative to be the peacemaker.
I’m willing to believe that Mr. Lorraine has no ill intentions towards Rolling Stone Town. If it weren’t for Mr. Richard, the information he brought might have come in handy.
‘ I just received a secret message from the scouts at the front line. At around 3 am, the Red Mountain troops stationed at the border of the South Trade Station have withdrawn.
” This is most likely because the Drow Assassins were captured. There are about 300 people in that army. If they really attack the Southern Trade Station, we may suffer some losses.”
As he spoke, he unfolded the note in his hand.
Matthew noticed that when Zeller entered the office with him, he did not have this note in his hand.
It seemed that Zeller had a secret way of communicating with his scouts, and it was quite efficient.
“More than 300 people! So many?”
Rheagar was shocked.
Zeller nodded solemnly.
For the current situation in the south of Aindor, a 300-man army, if well-equipped and with good morale, would be a force to be reckoned with.
The true elites of Rolling Stone Town were only about 40 Lord’s Guards. Adding the same number of garrison members, there were less than 100 people in total..
