Chapter 256 - 256: What Does Casting Feel Like?
Translator: Lonelytree
Although the female goat also had horns, it was much less threatening overall, right?
Just like that, an hour later.
Matthew was holding a handful of hay and holding a tame female goat in his hand. Behind him was Soldier, who was hidden in a cloak. He leisurely arrived
at the office hall of the liegeâs residence.
Punch in for work!
The office was still very quiet this morning.
In fact, the daily government affairs of Rolling Stone Town were handled by the five-member committee of the City Hall. The office of the liegeâs residence usually only dealt with major events that threatened the territory and a very small amount of official business.
And the latter was taken by Zeller alone.
So when Zeller was not around, this place was no different from Matthewâs oak forest.
When Matthew led the sheep through the door, Rheagar was reading the newspaper.
It was a journal called â Purgatory Tabloid.â The Feudal Lord was reading it with great interest.
When he saw Matthew, he subconsciously said, âGood morning! â.
Matthew also greeted him politely.
It wasnât until Matthew was about to reach his house that Rheagar suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He put down the newspaper and walked over. He pointed at the goat and said,
âDid I mention that you canât bring pets to work?â
Matthew blinked. âNo, you havenât.â
Rheagar said bluntly,
âIâm sorry, Matthew. Iâm not targeting you, but the liegeâs residence doesnât allow pets to go to work!
âDonât ask when this rule was made. Even if itâs just a rule set today, you have to follow it. After all, Iâm the boss.â Matthew tried to quibble.
âBut what if I say that sheâs my family?â
Rheagarâs eyes widened.
âNot even if itâs your girlfriend!â
Matthew was surprised by Rheagarâs train of thought.
He simply told her that he was learning Malicious Shapeshifting.
Rheagar rubbed his chin and revealed a troubled expression.
âBut the smell of the goat is really strong. It will affect the work of others.â
Matthew almost couldnât hold back his laughter.
âThe work of others⊠You mean like reading the newspaper?â
Rheagar looked at him with dissatisfaction.
âWhat do you know? This is called caring about world affairs. Although the news in the Alliance Weekly and the Purgatory Tabloids were not entirely true, many major events were often reflected in those distorted reports. As the lord of Rolling Stone Town, I should take on the important responsibility of reading the changes in the world.â
Matthew agreed.
He was also very interested in the Alliance Weekly, but because he was short of money, he had not been able to buy a copy.
Hence, he asked Rheagar, âCan I read your newspaper?â
Rheagar said generously,
âOf course, you can, but you can only borrow the latest issue after I finish reading it. Other than that, when you read the purgatory tabloids, you are not allowed to cut out certain peach -coloured pictures with scissors!â
Matthew asked in surprise,
âHas someone done this before?â Rheagar said meaningfully,
âYou should be asking, who among the people who borrow my newspaper hasnât done this before?â
Matthew had a look of surprise on his face. He was suddenly interested in the Purgatory Tabloid, which he had no interest in before. âIâll get you the last issue. Wait!â
Rheagar came back to his senses and pointed at the goat.
âLetâs forget about it today, but this cannot happen again.â
Matthew looked at him pleadingly.
The latter was unmoved.
Matthew continued,
âThen letâs talk about the sword oil.â
Rheagar was instantly energized. He smiled and patted the docile female goat.
âIn that case, I can consider making an exception for you, but I donât have sword oil with me. Iâll go to your house to look for you after work tomorrow.â
With that, he walked back to his office in a good mood.
As the lordâs magic consultant.
Matthewâs work was rather idle.
Although it was quiet here, it couldnât be compared to the basement, so there was no way to conduct in-depth learning. Therefore, he could only read books to kill time or conduct some shallow spell theory research.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a day passed just like that.
During this period, Matthew did not forget to get closer to the goat.
However, although this female goat was docile, it seemed very shy.
Even when Matthew reached out to touch her head, she would subconsciously dodge.
This made Matthew a little depressed.
âWhy didnât she dodge when Rheagar touched her this morning?
After eating the lunch prepared by Madam Wesley.
Matthew became restless.
His eyes would occasionally glance at Rheagarâs office.
He knew that, according to his habit, Regar would be taking a nap soon, and that would be the best time for him to slip away.
As expected, the middle-aged and elderly people had a very regular schedule.
A few minutes later, Rheagar, who was wearing pyjamas, walked out while stretching.
To Matthewâs surprise, Rheagar did not leave the office. Instead, he walked towards his own office.
âItâs really hard even though it has only been half a day of work.â
He looked exhausted.
Matthew wondered if reading the newspaper was really that tiring.
Rheagar suddenly asked him,
âMatthew, I want to ask you a question. What does it feel like to cast a spell?â Matthew thought for a moment and explained seriously,
âWhen we mages cast a spell, we can roughly divide it into three stages. These three stages have three different feelings.
âThe first stage was to prepare the casting posture and chant the spell.
âAt this time, we would be forced to recall all the contents of the relevant spells. The pain, difficulty, confusion, sadness, and other negative emotions when we learned the spells would also surge into our minds..â
