Chapter 428: I Heard You Earned A Large sum of Money?
Matthew smiled and said,
He gave me 10,000 gold coins.
Didnt you say that you wanted to know how 10,000 gold coins feel like? I can satisfy you now. Forget about what you just said.
As he spoke.
He took out 10,000 gold coins from the small bag and scattered them on the ground.
Seeing this scene.
Peggys soul fire was about to fly out of her skull!
She threw herself on the ground like a madman and counted the money while shouting happily,
I take back what I said just now. That mage in the white coat is a very good person!
Matthew, you have to thank him!
Is he your superior in the Alliance? You have to work hard with him! Oh, the taste of gold coins is so delicious
He saw Peggy happily rolling around in the pile of gold coins.
A gratified smile appeared on Matthews face.
But very quickly.
The smile disappeared.
Although Matthew hooed that Pegzv would forget about Edmond.
But he could not forget it.
He thought about it.
He realized that there were indeed some suspicious points in Edmonds actions.
First, when they first met, he had wanted to give her a silver bell, the reason being to monitor Isabelles situation.
But from Matthews point of view, this bell was completely unnecessary.
With Edmonds intelligence, it was impossible for him not to see this.
Secondly, as the head mage, Edmond should have a lot of things to do. This time, he actually came to Rolling Stone Town to support him, which was a very inconceivable thing in itself.
Under normal circumstances, neither the Scar of the Dead nor the outer planes would have bothered Edmond so much.
It was also impossible for Isabelle to be the reason.
Others might think that Matthew had a bright future because of his Al title and his relationship with Isabelle.
But who was Edmond?
He was the eighth powerful person in the Alliance!
It was reasonable for him to show appropriate kindness to Matthew, but to show it to this extent was somewhat inconsistent with his status.
Thirdly, the direct confrontation between Matthew and the red dragon, Khuzulas, seemed to have been led by Edmond.
Edmond said that it was a coincidence but Matthew felt that something was wrong.
If his purpose in coming to Rolling Stone Town was to sneak into Ronans house, then it makes sense. Coming over to support me is just a pretence.
Matthews head began to hurt.
He had not forgotten.
There was also someone in the Alliance who was suspected to be the mastermind behind Blinkens work.
If that person was Edmond
Matthew didnt dare to think about it anymore.
The deeper he understood the Alliance, the more he felt that the Seven Saints werent clean.
There was no reason for Edmond to be an exception.
Legendary mages were very busy, and there must be a deeper logic behind their every action.
Perhaps Edmonds love for gossip is just a persona he deliberately created.
Their real purpose is to gather information and achieve some unspeakable goal.
Everyones current situation isnt too good. After the failure of the internal conflict, we lost the recognition of the Sea of Trees. Its difficult to move there. We have to find a new home to have a chance to reproduce.
The other pioneers didnt bring back any good news. Looks like this mission has fallen on my shoulders!
I believe in you, Obast.
Youve always been the best of the centaurs.
I believe that you will be able to lead us to a new home. The Light Fairy called Little Pineapple rattled on and on.
Suddenly.
It saw the World Tree rising from the ground.
Little Pineapple said happily,
Oh my god, you found the descendant of the World Tree!
However, he could feel Little Pineapples wild joy.
He couldnt bear to tell it the cruel truth. Youre really our hero. Will this be our new home?
Little Pineapple asked hopefully.
Obast opened his mouth, but he could only brace himself and reply,
It should belm still trying my best.
Little Pineapple said excitedly,
I knew it. Im the lucky Little Pineapple! I cant wait to tell everyone the news. Good luck, Obast. When you settle down, everyone will come to you!
As it spoke.
It happily disappeared into the crack.
Only Obast was left standing there foolishly.
Looking at the huge tree that soared into the sky.
His gaze became determined.
The next day, in the magic classroom of the Cauldron House.
After the last theory class.
Matthew and Margaret were talking.
The relationship between Blinken and Edmond?
Why are you suddenly asking this? Margaret asked in surprise.
Matthew revealed a gossipy smile.
I heard some very interesting rumours. I just want to verify if theyre true. Margaret snorted.
Its true. There was a period of time when the two of them were together every day. Edmond regarded Blinken as his sweetheart and summoned him from time to time, so I didnt even have the chance to see my boyfriend. So I turned him into my ex-boyfriend.
However, sometime before Blinken defected, their relationship seemed to have deteriorated drastically. Someone heard Sir Edmond, who never cursed, loudly cursing Blinken in the laboratory. However, nothing seemed to have happened between the two of them after that. It didnt take long for Blinken to leave.
Why was someone who never cursed suddenly cursing loudly?
Matthew had an idea in his heart and did not ask anymore.
He wanted to change the topic. However, at the next moment.
Margaret asked excitedly,
I heard that you made a lot of money recently.
Someone is looking for you. Matthew immediately said warily,
No investments, no loans.
Margaret snorted coldly.
I knew you were a miser, but dont worry, the person looking for you isnt me. Its my mentor, one of the three Holy Mages of the Alliance, Lady Soria.
She specifically told me that after todays class, if youre free, she wants to see
you.
What do you think?
