Chapter 56: Intelligence Mystery Lock
"Yes, we were together for a short time, but we separated again.”
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.
The scenes from that day surfaced in his mind.
Combined with the time that Eli appeared in the oak forest.
He had a general understanding of the cause and effect, but he suddenly admired Eli even more.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
"What kind of person do you think Eli is?” he asked again.
Samantha thought for a moment and said, “He is a good man, but he is not suitable for me. He is kind, upright, and strong. That was good. However, he is too controlling. When I was with him, I often thought that I was just his vassal.
This feeling was unpleasant, so it was only a matter of time before I separated from him.”
Matthew nodded.
“But it sounds like you two could still remain friends.”
Samantha said with uncertainty, “Maybe, but he’s very proud, and he’ll probably misunderstand the intention. Why are you asking so many questions?
Are you interested in Eli?”
She looked at Matthew with wide eyes.
Matthew quickly waved his hand and said,
“No way.”
He was still wondering if he should tell Samantha that her ex-boyfriend was working for him.
Samantha casually said goodbye.
” That’s it then. I’ve already replenished the skeleton soldiers for you. If you need more corpses, go to the other layers of the tree pits. They’re all corpses that Eli and I have purified.”
As she spoke, she transformed into a leopard.
"As for the information about the Su country, I will sort it out for you as soon as possible. Thank you for your domain enlightenment. Then, goodbye, Matthew!”
As she spoke.
She ran away.
Looking in that direction, she was heading deep into the hive alone.
"Even now, she’s still unwilling to cooperate with me. What a stubborn woman.”
He looked at Samantha’s back as she left.
Matthew shook his head slightly.
At this moment.
Ella, who had been wilting for a few days, flapped her wings excitedly.
"Matthew, Matthew!
"Now that you have a strong army, are you finally ready to start a massacre?”
Matthew asked in surprise,
“How can you tell that I have a strong army? The quality of these skeletons is obviously ordinary, and they are not as experienced as my previous ones.”
The man was very sharp.
Matthew knew that he couldn’t hide it from Richard, so he simply admitted it.
"Congratulations! At least in the middle and lower levels, having a Rogue by your side will be very useful.”
Richard closed the book.
"But you’ve come to the wrong place. There are many excellent craftsmen in the association, but there are very few excellent blacksmiths. I don’t think I can recommend you to anyone.”
Matthew frowned slightly.
Fortunately, he knew that excellent blacksmiths were scarce, so he only came to try his luck today.
"Do I have to go to Jiliu City or Baiyan City?”
Before Matthew could ask the question, Richard picked up the pen and wrote a few words.
"However, I can introduce someone to you. Everyone calls him Old Fallon, and he’s the vice president of the Veterans Association. He once followed Rheagar into purgatory, and he’s very skilled in forging. He hasn’t been open to the public for many years, but I can try to help you get in touch with him.” Matthew took the recommendation letter and thanked him.
Richard waved his hand and said seriously,
"This is not free help, Matthew. Zeller must have told you about the challenge letter from the three major organizations. This is very unusual. I need you to think about it. Think about it seriously.
"Have you ever seen such behaviour in history or in a book?
"Don’t be in a hurry to answer me.
"Take a deep breath.
"Think. Seek your memories.
"You’re the only one among us who can think of it. I mean, if something like this really happened in history.”
Richard’s words sounded strange.
But Matthew tried to follow his words.
A few seconds later.
A stunned expression appeared on his face!
"I did remember something. What’s going on?”
Matthew was extremely surprised.
There was indeed a large chunk of related content in his mind.
But before that.
It was as if they did not exist in his memory.
“That’s a curse that the gods placed before they left, Matthew.”
Richard’s voice seemed to come from the clouds.
” A lot of profound, useful knowledge, important, and accessible history has been hidden by the curse called ‘Intelligence Lock.’ Even if it has lingered in the minds of many people, only those with 15 points of intelligence and above, especially Mages, have the chance to recall it.
"That’s why I told you that this world is ultimately the world of spellcasters.
"You were born to be spared from one of the three great curses left behind by the gods. How can you not be favoured by the heavens?
"Now, tell me, what do you remember?”
