A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 496
Chapter 496: Who Stole Our Sulfur?
Translator: Lonelytree
Unfortunately, the two of them worked for more than an hour and still could not find anything unusual.
Matthew brought a chair from the workers’ area and sat down.
Little Patton followed suit.
Under the illumination of the Mage’s Hand and the Illuminating Stone,
Matthew suddenly realized that Little Patton and Rheagar were quite similar.
The last time the two of them met was at the ball to welcome Lorraine. At that time, the lights were dim, and Matthew did not see it clearly.
This time, upon closer inspection, this kid was completely like a little Rheagar!
In comparison, Blake, who was also Rheagar’s nephew, was completely different from him.
When he thought about how Rheagar had placed Little Patton’s inheritance right before Blake’s when he was arranging his funeral.
Matthew suddenly became interested in this young man who had lost his tax officer position due to a sexually transmitted disease.
“What do you think of your uncle?”
Little Patton looked a little surprised.
“Uncle? Do you mean in Rheagar?” Matthew nodded.
“He… He’s just a stupidly good person.”
This guy unexpectedly dared to say it.
How much do you know about the relationship between him and the Kingdom of Suki?”
Matthew asked again.
Little Patton waved his hand and started talking.
“In theory, I also have the blood of the Suki Family, but it is very diluted.
“When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a mage, but they told me that I had no talent.
“I wanted to become a knight, but they told me that I was weak.
“Later on, I wanted to become a playboy, but my mother told me that there was no way.
“Our family’s fortune was all thanks to my mother’s relentless begging to have Rheagar acknowledge her as family. That’s how we got to where we are today in Rolling Stone Town.
“Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I suspect that my mother is not Rheagar’s cousin!
“Maybe they just look alike, and my mother just happens to have a bit of Purgatory blood.
“But fortunately, she gave birth to me. Many people said that I looked like Rheagar, which made my mother very happy.
“For a period of time, she mentioned this matter to everyone she met. “However, gradually, a ridiculous rumour spread in Rolling Stone Town.
“They say I’m actually Rheagar’s illegitimate son.
“Damn it.
“Can those idiots take a look at my mother’s appearance and figure before spreading rumours?
“Well, it’s not nice to say this, but I love Liz very much. She’s my mother.
“However, I also knew very well that with Rheagar’s taste, it was impossible for him to fall for her.
“Anyway, after that rumour, my mother never mentioned my similarity to
Rheagar again.
“She seemed to have subconsciously distanced herself from Rheagar because of this incident.
“I suppose she was worried that this would upset Rheagar. “After all, our entire family depends on this uncle.”
Matthew looked at him with interest. “You’re quite perceptive.”
Little Patton said indifferently,
‘ When you are like me and have no achievements in anything you do, it is only natural for you to give up on yourself. As time goes by, many truths are self-evident.
‘ Sometimes, I really feel that there are many people in this world who are not as smart as me. But for some reason, they always succeed easily, while I have achieved nothing so far.”
Matthew thought for a moment and asked another question,”
If you had an army of devils from Purgatory, what would you do when the war was about to break out?”
Little Patton smiled relaxedly.
“Rheagar asked me this question not long ago. Is he still troubled by the teleportation portal?”
Matthew was secretly shocked.
He didn’t expect Rheagar to trust Patton so much that he had even discussed such a core secret with him. No wonder he was the successor behind Sif.
So Matthew continued to ask,
” That’s the matter. However, Rheagar has already made his decision. I just want to know your opinion.”
Little Patton stretched.
” There are no traces of demons in Rolling Stone Town. This means that my good uncle has made a stupid decision.
“Is he so naive as to think that he can live in peace with the other factions?” Matthew took out two cups from his luggage, filled them with milk, and handed one to the man.
So, you don’t agree with Rheagar’s decision to reject the demon army?”
Little Patton held the milk in his hand and rubbed the cup with both hands.
“If you have a sharp weapon and don’t use it, you will be hurt by it. This is a proverb I read in an ancient book.
It’s not that I don’t think highly of Rheagar’s decision, but I don’t think highly of every decision he makes.”
“Although I’m being a little heartless, the truth is that we’re not the only family in Rolling Stone Town that lives off of Rheagar’s blood.
“I clearly realized that the only reason I could have my current standard of living was because of Rheagar’s kindness and fantasy.
“However, some people did not realize this.
“Of course, as long as Rheagar was willing, it didn’t matter whether they appreciated it or not.
“But the key was, how long could Rheagar keep this going?
“The development of Rolling Stone Town was already a fairytale-like miracle.
“If the four realms were to remain peaceful, perhaps this miracle could continue for many years.
“But as you said, war is coming.
“If Rheagar couldn’t or wouldn’t become the king, how long can the current situation last?”
After saying this.
He gulped down the milk and burped.
“What amazing milk!
‘ Uh, what I said just now was just a personal opinion. I don’t have much reference value. I hope that Rolling Stone Town will continue to prosper. Only then can a useless rice worm like me continue to lie on Rheagar’s body and happily suck blood. ”
Little Patton laughed at himself and stood up to go to the toilet.
Matthew sat there with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
But at this moment.
The sound of the wind came from above his head.
Immediately after.
There was a loud clang.
A huge piece of sulfur stone fell from above. If Matthew hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have missed it!
“What is this?”
Just as he walked to the side, Little Patton, who had unbuttoned his pants to relieve himself, screamed.
However, in the darkness, a monster that looked like a green-headed fly but was hundreds of times larger pounced at him.
” F * Ck you! Don’t scare me when I pee!”
This guy was very brave. He pulled down his pants and pulled out a single-handed sword. Then, he began to fight the huge green-headed fly naked.
A similar monster appeared beside Matthew.
The other party came very quickly, but Matthew reacted even faster. He took out a mace from the shortcut bar of the Magic Backpack and hammered it.
The hammer was still useful in close combat.
The green-headed fly obviously wanted to dodge, but it didn’t have time to avoid it. It was directly smashed to the ground by Matthew.
Matthew killed it.
At the same time.
Little Patton also used his one-handed sword to flick the monster’s wing away and then killed it with a sword. “It’s the Fly Demon!”
Matthew reminded,
“This is a type of demon, but its level is relatively low. Don’t be afraid. “Come over to me first. There might be other demons appearing!” It was too late.
From the darkness where the first fly demon appeared, two muscular bull-headed men emerged.
They were wearing heavy armour.
They walked like tigers.
Little Patton hurriedly pulled up his pants and retreated.
Matthew immediately asked Soldier to go over and help Patton.
[Warning: You have encountered a Minotaur (LV12/Elite/Large Demon)]
The Minotaur was not a Tauren.
The difference was that the former was a type of demon. They had extremely sharp teeth, which formed a sharp contrast with the flat teeth of the Tauren, who had a vegetarian habit.
The two minotaurs started roaring as soon as they appeared.
Matthew did not understand the Abyssal Language and was about to make his move.
Little Patton translated as he retreated,
“They are asking us who stole their sulfur.
“If we don’t tell them, they’ll snatch me back to be their wife!
“Damn it, can’t these demons differentiate between male and female?
“I didn’t even put on my pants! Are they blind?”
Matthew silently observed the green eyes of the Minotaurs and casually said,
“Maybe they like you too much.
“Can you help me translate it?”
As he spoke, the two minotaurs charged forward with their huge axes!
Little Patton lowered his head and rolled around, asking loudly, “Do you still need a translation?”
Matthew said calmly, “There’s no need for that now.
“Just prepare to translate their last words.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
He raised his hand and threw a grey magic light at the minotaurs.
Disintegration!
