Chapter 685: Throwing Gloves and Legendary Power
" It seems like only my teacher Isabelle is free.
"Should we ask her for her opinion?"
Matthew was thinking.
At this moment.
Another fat cat jumped out of the castle.
Matthew had seen this fat cat before.
It was Ah Ji who was in charge of welcoming guests into the living room.
Ah Ji said to Matthew,
"Ms Soria is indeed unable to meet anyone at the moment, but before she left, she instructed that if it's about Rolling Stone Town, you can go to the Guardian of the East, Chen.
"At present, the higher-ups of the Alliance have re-distributed their powers and responsibilities during the war. The territory that previously belonged to Ronan, the Guardian of the South, is temporarily handed over to Chen to manage.
" You can look for him. This is a token from Madam Soria. Please accept it."
As he spoke.
Ah Ji handed a box of magic matches to Matthew.
There were only three matches in the matchbox.
Ah Ji explained,
" Every time you light a match, you will have a short chance to talk to the Guardian of the East.
" Chen has a good temper, but if there's nothing important, it's best not to disturb the holy mage."
Matthew looked grateful.
The two cats were indifferent. They walked under the sun, yawning as they walked.
He returned to the Cauldron House.
Matthew found a quiet corner and lit the first match.
Orange-red magic flames lit up.
Soon after.
A steady male voice rang out.
" How many times have I told you, Soria? I've already quit gambling. Don't play cards with me again. No matter what excuse you give me today, I won't play cards with you unless you can get Yourou back."
Matthew coughed.
" I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I'm Matthew. This box of matches was given to me by Ms. Soria."
Chen laughed and said,
"Soria, it's not fun to pretend to be Matthew. I've already said that your transformation technique is terrible. Let me find your flaws…Eh? Is it really Matthew?"
His voice involuntarily changed.
"Hello, Matthew. What's the matter?"
He could feel the distance in the other party's tone.
Matthew quickly told her about Margaret's current situation.
After listening.
Chen couldn't help but complain,
" Isn't Soria too irresponsible? She's not even willing to take care of her own students.
" And you, you're Isabelle's student. Why are you looking for me?
"Even the holy mages don't care about anything, right? You only know how to squeeze us little legends!"
Matthew's face immediately turned awkward.
In fact, Chen was right. In theory, this matter was Soria or Isabelle's responsibility. It would be more reasonable to let Ronan or Edmond handle it.
However, the higher-ups were indeed short of manpower.
Matthew heard that Chen and Roderick had taken on most of the work above the Silver Council's authority.
It was normal to have such complaints.
"Then shall I go find my teacher?"
Matthew said softly.
However, Chen immediately denied it.
"Why are you looking for her?
"If you go to her for such a small matter, she will definitely scold you!
"In the future, if you have any problems, just come to me. I've already thought of a solution to Margaret's problem.
"However, I have something very important to do now.
"I had no time to spare.
"How about this? Come and find me in a week.
"When the time comes, you can find a random beach and chant an incantation. Then, you can come to my Heaven Ascension Tower. Remember the contents of the incantation…"
Matthew listened attentively.
He quickly memorized the complicated incantation.
The magic match was about to burn out.
Chen asked,
"Is there anything else?"
Matthew shook his head, but there was still some worry on his face.
Chen seemed to be able to see his expression and immediately comforted him,
" Don't worry, Margaret will be fine. She's a very strong and promising child.
" If anything happens during this week, it will be fate. She is a born warrior, and only through the tempering of life and death can she walk a broad path, just like me…"
At this point.
A female voice suddenly sounded from the fire lit by the magic match!
There seemed to be a dozen women surrounding Chen.
He was doing something unspeakable.
Matthew was shocked.
He quickly reached out to extinguish the flames, but the magic match had a special nature. Matthew couldn't extinguish it no matter how hard he tried!
"Uh, don't misunderstand. The voices you heard were all illusions!
" I'm practising a technique to increase my resistance to illusions. Those sounds are fake, and they don't exist, hiss-!
"Yes, ah, next time, right..."
Chen's voice stopped abruptly.
The magic match finally went out.
Matthew wiped the sweat off his forehead.
A low giggle sounded in his ears.
Immediately after.
It was the sound of 'uh-huh' that he had just heard!
Many indescribable scenes immediately appeared in front of Matthew's eyes.
In the next second.
His eyes widened, and his pupils became a little blurry.
Fortunately, Heart Like Still Water was activated in time.
It forcefully pulled his mind back!
..
[Hint: You have completed a special resistance training for illusions!]
Your resistance to women +1
..
" He's really undergoing illusion resistance training!"
Matthew was stunned.
Was there special training for illusion resistance?
Other than women.
Was there any special training for gold coins, men, and power?
Matthew's consciousness quickly dispersed.
A moment later.
He suddenly realized another problem.
