A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Matthew said unhappily,

“Can you think about these things after you become king?

” Speaking of which, you still haven’t told me what happened to Sif?

“What was the reason for your dispute?”

Rheagar paused and said with some pain,

” It started because Sif wanted to learn magic.”

Matthew was surprised.

“Didn’t she already awaken her bloodline? Could it be that the awakening failed?”

Rheagar shook his head.

” With the help of the Holy Grail of Sin, she successfully awakened. However, she hated her own demonic bloodline, so she was unwilling to accept this power after awakening.

” Sigh, it’s all my fault. Because of my experiences when I was young, I hate and guard against most demons.

” I wanted to educate Sif into a kind descendant of the devil, but she was too kind. She even began to hate her own bloodline!

” You might not know this, but during the awakening process, the Holy Grail of Sin tried to tempt Sif to fall. In the end, it had the opposite effect, and the Holy Grail was scolded by her. Since then, she has been even more unwilling to accept the power after awakening.”

Regarding the incident with Sif…

Matthew was not surprised.

He had felt Sif’s rejection of demons before, but he did not expect it to be this serious.

“Then what spell does she want to learn?

“Do you need my help?”

Matthew asked.

Rheagar sighed again.

“If she were to learn spells from you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be so angry.

” She wants to go to the northernmost floating city to learn illusions, enchantments, and defensive spells.

” She seems to be determined to become a guardian, not an existence that hurts others.”

Matthew nodded.

” This isn’t all bad. At least it shows that Sif has her own ideas. She’s a very independent girl.”

Rheagar immediately revealed a dissatisfied expression when he heard this.

“Didn’t you hear the crux of the problem? She wanted to go to the north! And it’s not the northern part of the North like the Watcher Highland or the Jade Court. It’s the northernmost part of the North. It’s about 40,000 kilometres away from Rolling Stone Town!

” How can I be at ease with her going to such a faraway place to study?!”

Matthew coughed lightly.

” 40,000 kilometres is nothing for a Teleportation Gate.

“But why would she have the idea of heading to the northernmost floating city? Is it for you to form an alliance?”

Rheagar looked even more dissatisfied.

” After the battle at the Moss Hills, the people from the Crystal Palace of the Seven Saint Alliance contacted me and said that they could arrange a few spots for magic apprentices in Rolling Stone Town. Sif contacted them privately after learning about this. The people from the Crystal Palace told her that she had a certain talent for magic. Although she missed the best age, she was qualified to go to the northernmost floating city to study with their financial support.

” Speaking of which, you haven’t cared about Sif in a long time.

“Her quarrel with me this time must have something to do with your bad mood because you didn’t contact her. So when are you going to talk to her?”

Crystal palace?

Soria’s people?

Matthew thought to himself.

However, when he heard the last two sentences of Rheagar’s words, he could not hold it in any longer.

” Wait, weren’t you the one who was most against me getting in touch with her in the past?”

Rheagar was stunned for a moment.

He coughed.

” You said it yourself. That was in the past.

” As the saying goes, times have changed. Since you’ve said so much, what do you think of Sif?”

Matthew feigned ignorance.

” A very good girl. It’s your fortune to have such a sensible and obedient girl. I’m happy for you, Rheagar.”

Rheagar’s gaze gradually became unfriendly.

” Don’t deliberately misinterpret it. I know you understand what I mean. Do you need me to be more straightforward?

“What do you think if I let you marry Sif?”

He looked at Rheagar with an expression that said, “If you dare to reject me, I’ll steal a big sword and cut you up.”

Matthew secretly sighed at how fickle men were.

“Sorry, I don’t think much of it.”

Matthew replied honestly,

” I quite like Sif, but this is far from enough.

“I like you very much too. We are very good friends, but this doesn’t mean that you can naturally become my father-in-law.

“This is my answer.”

Rheagar seemed to be very angry after hearing this.

But after a while.

His attitude softened like a deflated ball.

He lowered his head slightly.

“I’m sorry, Matthew. I crossed the line.

“I’ve indeed been a little muddleheaded recently…”

Matthew raised his hand to stop him from apologizing and smiled.

“I don’t care if you cross the line, as long as you don’t do it next time.

” I’ll talk to Sif, but the main purpose is to confirm her thoughts. You don’t have to expect me to stop her from studying.

“I believe you know her better than I do. She’s actually a girl who’s soft on the outside but tough on the inside. When she makes up her mind, no one can persuade her back.”

Rheagar nodded silently.

He looked dejected.

“Matthew, I feel like I might become a rotten person…” he muttered.

Facing the confused and anxious Rheagar.

Matthew suddenly said,

“Did you bring the Holy Grail of Sin?”

Rheagar hesitated for a moment.

“It’s in the lord’s manor.”

Matthew said decisively,

” Give it back to me. I took it out of the tomb in the Kingdom of Suki. I lent it to Sif for awakening. Now that it’s over, you should give it back to me!”
