Chapter 1768: 482 Hunger Kingdom and Sky Eagle Starship_3 … “Warning: You are locked by the ‘Sealing Demon Magnetic Field’ of the ‘Skyhawk’ starship! Within the Sealing Demon Magnetic Field, no one can complete the process of spellcasting (including Instant Cast, Silent Casting, and other super-magic abilities)…” … Matthew’s expression eased. It made sense now… Finally, someone from Storluk Industries had arrived. However, Madam Melinda looked somewhat distressed beside him. She murmured into Matthew’s ear: “This is Captain Gray Eagle, a senior combat officer in the space undead army, second only to the three magnates.” “After the general left, it was he who took over the work of astral defense around the planet…” “Captain Gray Eagle excels in swordsmanship and is also an outstanding user of Spiritual Weapons. He was once a disciple of a true legendary Ancient, his strength is not trivial, probably around Level 22…” “The most important thing is, I have a bit of a personal vendetta with him.” At this point, Madam Melinda’s expression turned a little uncomfortable. Matthew snorted, signaling her to elaborate. She sighed: “He pursued me but I rejected him…” “Twice.” “I’m worried he will use this as a pretext…” As her voice fell, Captain Gray Eagle had already landed steadily. These space undead all wore thick face helmets; Matthew couldn’t see his expression, he could only judge the other’s mood based on his voice. After landing, the captain’s voice was quite steady, even carrying a hint of mockery: “First, we must warmly welcome Lady Aindor’s arrival.” “If you had not chosen to walk into the trap yourself, I fear I truly wouldn’t have been able to claim the credit for capturing you alive.” “Don’t worry, apart from the Sealing Demon Magnetic Field, I have also sealed all the nearby space and domain fields. Your Hunger Kingdom has already started, now it’s too late to try to escape.” “As we get to know each other slowly in the death cells of Storluk, hehehe…” Having said that, he ignored the angry glare from the female devil and turned his gaze toward Matthew. “Second, I must thank Mr. Matthew.” “Thank you for protecting the Space City, you are indeed as compassionate as the legends say—I was already mentally prepared to sacrifice all the citizens of the city, I hadn’t expected you to actually step forward…” “Hehehe…” His laughter was filled with clear mockery and taunting. Matthew smiled faintly: “Your self-regard is a bit too high.” “I don’t intend to accept your thanks.” “What I do has nothing to do with you.” As for how the other party had identified him, Matthew no longer cared to ascertain— Ever since he became famous, he was noticed wherever he went, and it was something not even a high-quality replica of the Goddess of Magic’s lingerie could cover anymore. Matthew had become accustomed to it and even started considering not bothering with disguises anymore! Captain Gray Eagle seemed not to expect such an attitude from Matthew. He hesitated in place for two seconds, then turned his spearhead toward Madam Melinda next to him: “Madam Melinda.” “If I recall correctly, headquarters sent you here to identify high-end antiques that might appear at the Treasure Identification Conference, right?” “Why would there be an Alliance spellcaster by your side?” “It seems the rumors at the headquarters are true—you really are a traitor!” Madam Melinda retorted: “We were just in a private box!” “We didn’t do anything!” “Besides, with my marginal position in headquarters, what valuable information could I possibly access?” Captain Gray Eagle scoffed: “Not now doesn’t mean never before.” “Mr. Matthew, Madam Melinda, I now suspect you two are related to an important list lost from headquarters; I hope you will cooperate with our operation and refrain from futile resistance.” Madam Melinda questioned: “Are you going to arrest me?” Captain Gray Eagle taunted: “Otherwise?” “Do you think I brought the ‘Skyhawk’ out here to play house with you?” Matthew spoke gravely: “Are you trying to trigger a war between Storluk Industries and the Seven Saint Alliance?” Captain Gray Eagle calmly said: “Nothing of the sort.” “I’ve heard you are also in a frozen state in the Alliance.” “I don’t think the Seven Saint Alliance would start a war over you.” “Of course…” “If they want to wage war, so much the better!” He made no attempt to disguise his intentions: “After the ‘Great Tear’, the downfall of the Seven Saint Alliance was inevitable.” “If not for that weak and incompetent general, we would have planted the great flag of the Empire on the fertile lands of Aindor!” “Not everyone is cowed by your threats, spellcaster.” “And besides, your era is fading, while the glory of the Empire is just reviving…” While talking, a squad of twelve space undead descended from a gap in the shadows above the dome. Matthew sensed that these twelve space undead had surrounded the box he was in. These tin cans held large electric shock guns, the tips buzzing with frightening electric currents, giving an utterly terrifying sensation! He tried to mobilize the power of his spells, indeed, there was no feedback, as if all connections with Ether had been severed! Madam Melinda looked serious: “This is the Sealing Demon Magnetic Field of the ‘Skyhawk’, specifically designed for spellcasters; within the range of the magnetic field, we can’t use any spells, not even opening Scrolls or using magic items.” “This guy is targeting me.” “Everything he said out there, those are just pompous excuses…”
