Chapter 716: Vivien's Milk Tea Technique
Matthew looked impressed.
There was no shortage of smart people in this world. The Earth Society's methods were quite reasonable. If the " Blue Veil Dream " could continue to work, this strategy would even be better than his own umbrella plan.
After all, there was no need to destroy the original environment.
However…
" The power of the ritual ground is weakening…
" Someone threw a large amount of blood and bones in the vicinity. They're trying to awaken the activity of the Scar of the Dead!"
The group of people soon found small carts at the foot of the hill.
Most of these carts were scattered on the ground, with a large number of corpses on them, including humans and other creatures.
"Did you see that? The Order of Calamity is stepping up its operations. They want to completely activate the Scar of the Dead and cause even greater destruction."
Vivien said coldly,
" I told you, kill the Withering King first, then follow the clues to find other clues. This is the fastest way!
" The Order of Calamity, the Order of Withering, and the other whale-hunters are all jackals of the same feather. Isn't it simple logic that the others will appear after killing one?"
Matthew sighed softly.
Perhaps what Vivien said was right.
However, he really couldn't stand the tone of this woman's voice. Even if she was a tool, he still felt that it was prickly when he held her by his hand.
Therefore, he sincerely said to Hibbert,
"I'm sorry. Due to some personal reasons, I might need to leave for a while.
" After this, I will conduct an independent investigation on the matter of the Watcher Highland. If there is a final result, I will inform you."
Hibbert was stunned.
"Are you going to abandon us?"
Matthew choked.
What kind of question was this?
Just as he was trying to organize his words, Vivien finally exploded.
"So I've been walking around with you for a long time, but you still don't want to kill the Withering King with me?
"I'm really... I'm so angry!
" Hibbert, go play with him yourself. I'll go to the Helen Mountains alone!"
As she spoke.
She suddenly opened a portal and disappeared in front of the two of them.
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.
The world fell silent.
However, when he came back to his senses, he found Hibbert looking at him with a very clear gaze.
"Actually, Vivien has good intentions. It's just that she's the same as me. She doesn't really know how to get along with people.
" How should I put it? Did you notice that she actually wanted you to kill the Withering King with her?"
Matthew nodded.
Hibbert explained,
" Vivien is a very proud girl. She doesn't submit to anyone other than me. So, if it's just to kill the Withered King, she definitely won't think that she needs anyone else's help.
" And the reason why she insisted that you go with her was because she was afraid that you wouldn't be able to receive the money from the Silver Council.
"Do you understand what I mean? She's afraid that she'll solve all the problems by herself. If that happens, you'll have made a wasted trip. After all, the Silver Council is stingy. If they find any flaws in the completion of the mission, your reward will definitely plummet.
"From her point of view, she just wants to help you complete this mission quickly.
" Believe me, other than looking down on you, she doesn't have any bad intentions towards you."
Hibbert's tone was very sincere.
Matthew revealed an understanding smile.
"I think I understand now. If Vivien is really like what you said, then I have indeed misunderstood her.
" But I also hope that you will understand that respecting others is not a luxury.
"If we change the way we communicate, our investigation team might be able to last longer."
Hibbert laughed bitterly.
"Sorry, I'm learning."
Matthew patted him on the shoulder.
"It doesn't matter. We can do our own things. Maybe we can get the same results using our own investigation methods."
Hibbert nodded.
" Of course. You two will definitely find the same finish line."
Matthew looked at him curiously.
"What about you?"
Hibbert sat on the ground.
"I'm waiting for the finish line to come find me."
..
After separating from Hibbert, Matthew returned to Cross City.
He met up with Peggy in a small alley.
"How's the situation on your side?"
Matthew asked.
Peggy sighed.
" A group of homeless children. Becoming pickpockets might be their best fate. They were almost bewitched into becoming heretics.
" I heard that the Druids here used to take care of them, but the situation has changed, and they have lost their homes."
Matthew nodded solemnly.
His intuition told him.
The three evil organizations gathered in Watcher Highland were not that simple.
Vivien was more or less carrying the arrogance of an academic mage.
It was very likely that she would suffer because of this.
Unlike her, who was in a hurry to challenge the leader.
Matthew chose another path.
"In a while, the two of you try your best to act menacing."
He reminded Peggy and Soldier.
Peggy patted her chest confidently.
"No problem. We don't look like good people!"
Soldier also moved his hips confidently.
In the next moment.
Matthew changed into a cloak and led the two skeletons out of the alley.
They walked along the street for a while.
He came to a place surrounded by many people.
He pushed away the crowd in front of him.
Matthew said darkly to the member of the Order of Calamity, who was surrounded in the middle,
"I heard that you're recruiting.
"Do you need a necromancer?"
