Chapter 29

You Have My Blessing

..

“No, there’s no need,” Ella said.

...

Matthew could only continue regretfully,”

“Maybe I was wrong with my wording, but for me, this greenhouse is far smaller than the one I have in mind.

“And I don’t mind if you do it in batches. There’s no need to rush.”

However, Ella showed unprecedented stubbornness.

“No!” she said seriously. “Matthew, Nature Souls will never go back on their words. Just you wait. After tonight, all the seeds will sprout!”

She flapped her wings and flew to the first seed shed.

A faint natural aura spread out, and Ella began to work energetically.

“Is she the arrogant Nature’s Soul that you told me about before? She doesn’t look like a bad person.” Peggy asked with interest.

Matthew nodded in agreement.

” Of course, she’s not a bad person. In fact, most of the Nature Souls are very suitable to be friends. They’re just blinded by the discrimination against my profession. However, this is not their fault. Necromancers do have a bad reputation.” In fact, Matthew quite liked to deal with Nature’s Souls, and he even liked most druids.

Their emotions were all written on their faces. They were straightforward folks. One wouldn’t need to worry about betraying around them.

“So now that you have this child laborer, does this mean that I don’t have to be responsible for the greenhouse in the future?” Peggy asked expectantly.

Matthew smiled. “Ella is only here to help. She’s new here, and there are still many details that she doesn’t know. She needs you to teach her.”

Peggy pursed her lips. “Alright, I knew that you damn necromancers wouldn’t let a free labor like me go so easily.”

Matthew smiled and handed over an irregular crystal that was emitting white light. “This month’s salary.”

Peggy’s soul fire instantly turned into the shape of a smiling face.

..

“Oh, Matthew, you are the kindest necromancer I have ever seen!

“I bet other necromancers won’t pay their salaries on time like you!

“When I was still in the Golden Pit, I had a friend who was a Contract Creature of an eccentric old man. He told me that the damned Necromancer not only wanted him to be at the forefront of the battle, but he also wanted him to help take care of his everyday life, liking bathing him and so on!

“I also suspected that the necromancer had molested him. However, I had no evidence. Plus, my friend had no ability to resist because he had signed a contract.

“Every time we met, he would look for me to discuss how to get rid of that necromancer.

“Unfortunately, he did not succeed in the end.

“The last time I saw him was after a terrifying battle.

“At that time, he had almost lost all the important bones in his body.

“I was very worried about his condition, but he smiled and told me that it was not without good news. At least he wouldn’t be asked to bathe the old man anymore.

“Later, it was proven that he was right, but only partially.

“That damned necromancer had indeed stopped molesting him.

“Instead, he removed all his bones before his eyes and gave them to the other skeletons.

“The excess bones were broken down into a bone powder, and even the last soul fire was used to light the lamp.

“How despicable!

“Ah, I’m sorry, I’ve said too much, but I still want to say-

“Thank you, Matthew!”

..

Matthew listened quietly.

“I only did what a man with a bottom line should do, so you don’t have to thank me, Peggy.

“But what I’m curious about is, how did you know what happened to your friend?”

Peggy hesitated for a moment, her soul fire swaying slightly. “Uh, maybe I have a telepathic connection with him? In short, I saw those images before he died.

“I thought that after becoming an undead creature, I would no longer be afraid of death, but that’s not the case.

“I’m still afraid of losing my self-awareness.

“Every time I think back to the scene I saw at that time, I feel terrified…”

At this point, Peggy’s soul fire suddenly flickered intensely.

Her voice was trembling.

Matthew’s expression changed. He quickly put one hand on Peggy’s back. “Hey, Peggy, stop reminiscing about those unpleasant things!

“Do you still remember what I told you when I brought you out of the Golden Pit?

“We can do it!

“I’ve already established a good relationship with Nature’s Soul, and even the Goddess of Moonlight has blessed me.

“I think I’m on the right path!

“We only need time to solve the mystery that has been bothering you.

“But before that, you have to be strong. You can’t be defeated by yourself!”

..

Matthew said as he tried to calm Peggy’s surging emotions.

He gently hugged Peggy’s cold skeleton.

A wave of intense sadness surged into Matthew’s mind.

He gritted his teeth and supported Peggy with determination.

This scene should have been beautiful.

Unfortunately, there was a difference in height between the two of them.

..

After a long time.

Peggy was finally freed from that intense, sorrowful mood.

“Thank you, Matthew. You’ve helped me again.”

Peggy’s soul fire gradually stabilized, and her tone also returned to calmness. “It’s been more than a year since I last felt that terrible feeling. I thought I had gotten rid of that nightmare, but it still didn’t let me go.”

Matthew was already used to such situations.

When he first signed with Peggy, she would get sick almost every week or so.

Later, Matthew brought her to the material world to live, and she slowly got better.

“What did you see just now?”

Matthew asked softly.

“It’s similar to last time. There are countless Tauren corpses on a boundless grassland. The ground is black, and the grass is dripping blood.” Peggy said calmly. “Perhaps that was the most memorable memory you had when you were alive.”

Matthew speculated.

“Perhaps.”

Peggy’s mood recovered very quickly. She even took the initiative to joke about Matthew. “You’re hugging me too tightly.”

Matthew subconsciously let go quickly, but he immediately reacted and looked at Peggy with anger and amusement.

“Oh, Matthew, you’re too gentle. It hurts!”

Peggy smiled proudly. “But to be honest, I’m a little touched. If I weren’t already dead, I would have married you!”

Matthew was about to answer.

At this moment.

The two of them simultaneously felt a shocked gaze staring at them.

Matthew looked sideways.

“Am… I interrupting something?” Ella said in disbelief.

..

Zerg Nest, fourth level.

After a not-so-intense battle, the skeleton soldiers were slowly cleaning up the battlefield.

Matthew, on the other hand, looked seriously at the dispirited Ella beside him. This stubborn Nature’s Soul was forcefully taken away from her post after a quarter of the oak seeds had ripened.

If Matthew didn’t stop her, he was worried that the other party would die in his shed that night.

“Are you feeling better?”

Matthew asked with concern.

“Much better. Don’t underestimate the recovery ability of Nature’s Soul!” Ella replied weakly.

However, her mental state was much better than when she first entered the cave.

The Moonlight Woodland was her home.

Here, the energy she had consumed would be quickly replenished.

“That’s good.” Matthew chose his words carefully. “Actually, what you saw earlier was a misunderstanding…”

Ella suddenly quivered. “Matthew, you won’t kill me to silence me, will you?!”

She looked at him nervously. “The goddess will keep an eye on you!”

Matthew rubbed his temples and said helplessly, “If I wanted to silence you, I definitely wouldn’t have waited until now!”

Ella let out a long breath. “That’s good, that’s good.

“Don’t take it to heart, Matthew, I understand… No, I mean…

“But I know that there are many necromancers who develop feelings for their summoned creatures.

“I have to admit that compared to the other skeletons, Peggy is a real beauty. At the very least, she still has all her bones.” At this point, she paused for a long time before she suppressed some emotions and said, “You two have my blessing. Congratulations.”

Matthew slapped his forehead. Now how was he going to explain himself?

“Master… Master, there’s a hardcover book…”

Soldier suddenly transmitted intermittent thoughts.

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.

He avoided the pile of corpses of the infected on the left side of the road.

He came to the other side where Soldier was.

There was a corpse of an infected human whose stomach had been cut open. Judging from the injuries, Soldier had done it himself.

There was a hardcover notebook on the body, probably from the infected person’s pocket.

There were hundreds of gold coins scattered around the book, which meant that the infected person was once very rich.

Matthew did not approach.

In the hierarchy of the Zerg, an ordinary infected person was only stronger than a new larva, but an infected corpse was the breeding ground for more than a dozen larvae.

After killing them, they had to be dealt with properly to prevent future troubles.

“Soldier, bring the book over.”

Matthew ordered.

Soldier did as he was told without hesitation.

Puff!

A larva suddenly crawled out of the infected man’s eye socket and jumped straight at Soldier’s thigh bone.

Whoosh!

A sword shadow flashed.

Soldier accurately cut the larva into two in midair.

At the same time.

He had also picked up the book.

Matthew took the notebook, wiped the blood and pus on the cover with a rag, and then looked at it.

The size of the notebook was only slightly larger than Matthew’s palm.

The cover had a pattern made of gold powder that looked like some kind of cuneiform text.

Matthew felt that this pattern was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall it for a moment.

He opened the cover.

However, the bloodstained first sentence made his body tremble.

..

” The Empire ordered us to study psionic power on the Dawn, but the terrible Zergs destroyed everything…”

..

It wasn’t the content that moved Matthew.

Instead, the word ’empire’ finally triggered the association in his mind.

He finally understood why the pattern on the cover looked familiar!

“Isn’t this the symbol of the Antu Empire? I remember that the Antu Empire was the big villain in the game in my previous life. Almost all the monsters in the dungeon were related to their laboratories scattered all over the universe!”

Matthew’s emotions surged.

His previous judgment was correct. He had indeed transmigrated into the game world, or at least he was in the same universe as that game!

Thinking of this.

He couldn’t wait to read the rest of the notebook!
