Chapter 93: Soul Cage

Even though Beanna’s intention of deliberately crossing out the word ‘teacher’ was obvious.

But in Matthew’s heart, she was still his student.

He tried his best to analyze it from her standpoint.

R.. Your actions are wise. Under the premise that Tarani will not hurt you, having a Windchaser General to protect you will undoubtedly make your studies in the Jade Court much smoother. I have a few suggestions that you might as well try...]

After he finished writing the letter, he sealed it with a wax seal and asked someone to deliver it to the Prancing Pony Inn in Jade Court the next day.

In this era, the efficiency of mail circulation was similarly low. Instant messaging for high-level mages was extremely expensive, and ordinary people still had to endure a long wait.

"It would be nice if there was an owl or an albatross as a messenger.”

Matthew couldn’t help but think as he put away the letter.

Ella, a noble Nature Soul, would never run errands, and there seemed to be no one suitable for delivering letters among the undead. Perhaps this was because necromancers usually did not have the need to socialize with humans.

In the afternoon.

Matthew went to the lord’s residence and signed a consultant contract with Zeller.

From then on, Matthew officially had a place in the lord’s manor. He would provide magic knowledge consulting services for Rheagar, and Zeller could put more effort into intelligence work.

However, Matthew, the consultant, was there to take a leave of absence on his first day of work.

After sharing the Scar of the Dead and some information about the Goddess of Moon with Zeller, he told him that he was about to advance and had to take a leave of absence for a while.

Zeller very considerately approved Matthew’s paid leave in Rheagar’s stead.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Not only did he give Matthew some valuable suggestions for his advancement, but he also enthusiastically asked Matthew if he needed an advance on his salary.

Matthew was very grateful for this.

Then, he unceremoniously made a small advance.

When he left the lord’s residence, Matthew bumped into Sif, and the two of them chatted for a while.

After informing the other party that he would be leaving for a while.

Sif looked disappointed.

After comforting her for a moment, Matthew suddenly asked,

“Did Beanna write to you after she went to Jade Court?”

Sif shook her head.

Matthew smiled in his heart and left the lord’s residence.

Beanna mentioned Sif in her letters to Matthew, but she did not write to her.

A girl’s thoughts were indeed subtle.

Seven days later.

Matthew’s figure appeared outside the southernmost city of the Hundred Cities Alliance, Jiliu City.

Soldier and Ella were the only people accompanying him.

In the past few days, they had left Rolling Stone Town and were exhausted from the journey.

He didn’t doubt the perception ability of the Nature Soul, which was why he had specially brought Ella along on this trip.

However, Marsh Water City was his first stop on his journey south.

"We can get in and out quickly. I need to find a guide to cross the rainforest there.” Matthew comforted her,

“As long as we don’t come into contact with too many people, we won’t be so unlucky as to contract the plague.”

Ella immediately sighed, and her little head became listless.

Matthew thought for a moment, then quickly walked to the carriage guide and asked,

“An Ge, I heard that there’s a plague in Marsh City recently. Is that true?”

The middle-aged man with a white headscarf said, “Of course, it’s true because there’s always a plague in Marsh City. If you don’t have a few fevers, you’ll be embarrassed to say that you’ve been to Marsh City!

"Don’t worry. Don’t go to crowded places, don’t visit brothels, and your chances of getting sick will be reduced by at least half, and getting a fever doesn’t mean death. There are several temples in Marsh Water City that specialize in the holy water business. As long as you have money, you won’t die.

"Some rich people in the city will even deliberately get infected and drink holy water to purify their bodies and minds. This is a way for them to find excitement.”

Matthew was speechless.

He had long heard that some cities in the south had wild cultures. Today, he had heard that it was indeed well-deserved.

He then chatted with An Ge about the situation in Marsh Water City.

They only left when night fell.

At night.

Matthew sat in the open top and reread the information about the Su that Samantha had given him.

At this moment.

A large oak forest suddenly appeared in front of his eyes!

A familiar feeling welled up in his heart.

Matthew knew that this was the taste of a gift!
