” Forbidden ritual?”

Alice’s voice was slightly cold.

Matthew didn’t recognize it for a moment and even smiled embarrassedly.

“In fact, I plan to apply for a sum of money from the Alliance for the research and application of this ritual. I remember that members of the Alliance have similar rights, right?”

Alice’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Her right hand quickly reached back and was about to take something out of the loose robe, but she was stopped by Fandral.

“Alice, calm down. You’re no longer a field officer of Mount Hesso. You don’t have the authority to enforce the law.”

As he spoke, Fandral stuffed the hard thing back into her robe.

Then he dragged Alice to another corner of the living room. The two of them pushed and shoved for a while until Alice’s robe was lifted by a corner.

Matthew glanced at it and vaguely saw the outline of a pair of magic handcuffs.

At this moment, the two of them had already arrived at the garden.

Alice growled at Fandral,

“You heard what he said just now, right? He wanted to hold the Scorched Earth of Death and apply for funding from the Alliance! Even if he is already preapproved… Even if he was recommended bv Lord Ronan, he couldn’t do as

he pleased, right?”

Fandral said helplessly,

“When are you going to change your bad temper? Perhaps Mr. Matthew had his own difficulties? Even if there’s really a problem with him, we just need to record the problem truthfully. When the time comes, there will naturally be field personnel who will look for him.”

Alice said mockingly,

“Record? How do I record it? With the way you taught me? Didn’t you see the ridiculous things I wrote on the paper just now? Isn’t that enough?” Fandral sighed and stopped talking.

Alice calmed herself down, a hint of guilt appearing on her face.

“I’m sorry, I was too impulsive. I know that you taught me those things for my own good. I’m still not qualified for a civilian job. Perhaps a field job is more suitable for me.

But I have to take care of Matthew’s matter. Even Ronan has no reason to let a necromancer carry out a forbidden ritual.”

Fandral sighed and said,

“That’s what the investigation team should do. We’re only responsible for the recruitment assessment of new members.” As soon as he finished speaking.

A curious voice rang out,

“Are you here to investigate Matthew?

“I have something to say.”

The two of them looked at the Tauren skeleton that suddenly appeared beside them in shock.

Alice’s eyes lit up.

“Do you have issues with your master?” The Tauren skeleton nodded vigorously.

“I’ve been dissatisfied with him for a long time.”

Alice asked expectantly,

“Did he do something unforgivable to you?”

“Oh, of course.”

The Tauren skeleton complained,

“He hasn’t given me a raise in many years! Can you reflect on the problem and punish him severely? But don’t punish him too harshly, as long as he wakes up in time and gives me a raise.” Alice was instantly stunned.

Before the two of them could react.

Matthew was already striding over from the living room.

“Hey, Matthew, are you going to kill them to silence them?” Peggy asked.

The two of them immediately became extremely nervous.

Matthew scolded,

“Don’t joke around in this situation, Peggy!’

Then, he said decisively,

” I forgot to add that the reason why I’m researching and preparing to hold the Scorched Earth of Death ritual is to fight against the Scar of the Dead. It’s northeast of Rolling Stone Town. If you’ve done your homework before coming, you should know about it.”

As he spoke, in order to prevent a melodramatic misunderstanding from happening.

He quickly explained the sequence of events.

Fandral immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. He smiled and said,

“I knew it was a misunderstanding. How could Mr. Ronan recommend an outlaw?”

Alice still looked rather suspicious.

Matthew said generously,

“I can take you to the place where I prepared the ritual. It’s not far from here.”

Fandral smiled and waved his hand.

“There’s no need. We believe you.”

But Alice insisted,

“Please take me there. I’m not being difficult. It’s just that what you said is a bit ridiculous. I have to witness it with my own eyes.”

Fandral’s face turned green, and he was about to continue persuading Alice.

Matthew waved his hand.

“Let’s go. We’ll set off now.”

With that, he grabbed a handful of hay, led the three sheep, and leisurely walked towards the oak forest.

Along the way.

Alice walked alone with a stiff expression on her face.

Matthew was still discussing the funding application with Fandral.

Faced with Matthew’s doubts, Fandral enthusiastically explained,

“Although the Alliance has suspended the public research project on the Scar of the Dead, in fact, if you have the heart to study it and can propose a feasible plan, the higher-ups will most likely allocate funds. Moreover, it is very likely that they will provide additional project subsidies according to the S grade rating.

“With your excellence, Mr. Matthew, as long as you apply, the project will most likely be approved, and you will receive a sum of project funds.

“If you could pass the feasibility test, the follow-up funds would arrive very quickly. Of course, this stage was not easy.

“However, once you succeed, you will reap a huge harvest. Apart from sufficient funds, you can also recruit some mage apprentices through this project. They will work for you for free..”
