A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2066: Chapter 605: Divine Grace Dew 2

“To be honest with you, I’m asking you for Emma’s skull indeed for Blinken… He needs to completely solve his heart demon, you know, as long as the spirituality on that skull hasn’t totally vanished, I can help him achieve that…”

Matthew quickly tossed that skull out—

This thing was previously mixed among a pile of scattered corners from Calamity Grassmen, picked up by him in a hurry. Fortunately, the spirituality on the skull was quite prominent, making it less difficult for him to find.

He directly threw Emma’s skull to Edmond.

This favor, Matthew was happy to oblige.

Edmond accepted the skull, his smile deepening:

“I thank you on Blinken’s behalf.”

“Speaking of which, I think you might be interested in the opportunities he discovered in Bright Sandalwood King’s grave site.”

“Due to the Alliance currently being short-handed, it’s been the Snake Mountain Sect who has been responsible for that project recently. Haha, since it involves another permanent demiplane, inevitably, some related matters are a bit troublesome, though quickly one or two months, slowly maybe half a year, we should have some lead.”

“If you’re interested, when the project officially starts, I’ll have someone notify you.”

Matthew asked curiously:

“What kind of opportunity is it exactly?”

This time Edmond didn’t keep it a secret:

“A path that seemingly leads to the Su country ruins!”

A path leading to the Su country ruins?

Matthew was first delighted, then puzzled, because he noticed Edmond’s wording was very odd.

He didn’t say Eastern Continent.

Instead, he used this very awkward term, Su country ruins.

Could it be that there’s more than meets the eye in Bright Sandalwood King’s grave site?

Matthew couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.

“I’m indeed quite interested, so I’ll wait for your news then.”

Edmond nodded.

He seemed to have nothing more to say.

After a slight contemplation, having talked about Blinken, Matthew simply put the matter involving Volcano Mage Erin on the table too.

After all, when he was confronting Lord of Darkness Beckman, that fellow directly sided with a politically incorrect camp.

After listening to Matthew’s account, Edmond appeared unfazed:

“Mage Erin is indeed one of the young people I’m optimistic about, and in a sense, he is certainly one of my people.”

“But I am not yet domineering enough to issue strict orders to every mage under my command.”

“They have the freedom to act.”

“I’ll have a word with Erin when I get back. Perhaps people from Beckman offered him a price hard to refuse, but in any case, it’s a dangerous matter, and I don’t advocate for Snake Mountain Sect mages to seek cooperation with the tiger. It’s not a good sign…”

Edmond said ambiguously.

Seeing Matthew still looking at him earnestly.

It was only then that Edmond became serious:

“Did you have a conflict?”

“Do you need me to help mediate?”

Matthew smiled:

“No direct conflict.”

“Simply put, we stood in opposing camps, and I discovered his identity, then let him go.”

If he had said such words earlier, he might have been suspected of bragging.

But now the legendary status is solidly here.

Even the honorable status of Chief Mage Edmond is not convenient to question.

He squinted at Matthew.

Seemingly very amazed by the latter, who had just advanced to legendary status, dared to question him.

Several seconds later.

Edmond laughed:

“You have quickly adapted to your new identity… Haha, I think Erin’s behavior was indeed inappropriate, not only did he stand on the wrong side, but also offended a Legendary-mage, and didn’t even realize it was your mercy that let him narrowly escape with his life…”

“But anyway, he is also my student, I have an obligation to bear some responsibility…”

Talking.

Edmond handed Matthew a vial containing mercury-like liquid:

“This is Divine Grace Dew, it can accelerate the aggregation speed of Domain Fruit.”

“These things as my compensation for Erin Mage’s offensive mistake, do you find it acceptable?”

A smile similar to Edmond’s instantly spread across Matthew’s face:

“It’s just a small matter, no need for compensation at all.”

“I was just confirming whether he was your person, to avoid any impostors passing themselves off…”

That was how he said it.

But the vial somehow ended up in Matthew’s hand without anyone noticing.

Edmond raised his eyebrows.

He reassessed Matthew with his gaze, the surprise in his eyes deepened—

Unknowingly.

The attitude in their conversation had completely become equal.

Although Matthew’s tone was still very respectful.

But in terms of momentum, it gave him a sense of suppression that couldn’t be contained.

This is rare in typical new Legendary-mages, many need months or even half a year to adapt to their new identity.

While Matthew seemed to have completed the identity switch in just a few minutes.

It was as if the legendary status was something he had adapted to countless times already.

Edmond’s gaze became even deeper.

A moment later.

He took his leave.

Matthew watched the place where Edmond had suddenly vanished, feeling a bit puzzled:

Did he really just leave like that?

No other plan?

Could Ronan’s worries be all for naught?

Matthew was getting confused.

But regardless, after Edmond left, Matthew still breathed a sigh of relief.

This old fox is too complicated…

Even with an equal status, interacting with him is quite exhausting.

Matthew still prefers to get along with straight-forward characters like Ronan and Isabelle.

Then his gaze gathered on that small vial of “Divine Grace Dew.”

The status bar displayed.

…

“Divine Grace Dew Essence: After ingestion, it can vastly increase the aggregation speed of Domain Fruit within all domains.

Insight (Connections): You realize this vial of Divine Grace Dew comes from the Goddess of Magic’s secret stash.

Knowledge (Popular History): It is said that Divine Grace Dew is the bathing water of the Goddess of Magic…”

…

Wait?

The Goddess of Magic’s secret stash?

Matthew’s expression grew somewhat wondrous.

Turns out Edmond is the real adept at favors!

Giving Ronan’s thing to himself.

Is this compensation or sowing discord?

Matthew’s mood instantly became complex.

“Better ask Ronan first before deciding whether to use this vial…”

…

Twin Towers of Exile.

Having briefly tidied up the scene, Matthew took the time to restore the Great Fairy Coco from her paper state to her original form.

He told her that he had completed his mission and she could leave on her own.

But surprisingly, Coco hugged Matthew’s thigh tightly, refusing to leave:

“Lord Matthew!”

“Please don’t send me away!”

“You are the coolest man in the entire Arcane Wilderness, I would rather not go crazy and follow you forever!”

Matthew joked:

“The coolest man? More cool than Daredevil?”

Coco shook her big head vigorously:

“You’re much cooler than him!”

“In any case, you must keep me. I’m good at many things—and besides, in the legends I’ve heard, every powerful spellcaster has a fairy accompanying them, don’t you think I’m just the right fit?”

Matthew was about to reply, “That’s because the legends you’ve heard are all made up for fairies to listen to,” but just then, a white light suddenly shone on the clearing ahead.

A portal.

Swish!

A finely dressed little fairy emitting bright white radiance flew out from behind the door.

Although the little fairy is charmingly beautiful, her aura intimidated almost all creatures nearby!

A cloaked person followed behind her.

Coco clutched Matthew’s pants, looking at the newcomers with awe and surprise.

“Advanced successfully?”

Matthew smiled and went forward.

“Easy-peasy.”

Lulu raised her proud chin, her eyes filled with smugness.

“Besides fairy wisdom, did you gain other Blessings?”

Matthew was about to inquire further.

Suddenly.

He sensed from the wilderness in the east.

Lights were rising one after another—

No.

Those weren’t lights.

Those were Storluk’s Spaceships!
