â It seems like only my teacher Isabelle is free.
âShould we ask her for her opinion?â
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,
âMs Soria is indeed unable to meet anyone at the moment, but before she left, she instructed that if itâs about Rolling Stone Town, you can go to the Guardian of the East, Chen.
âAt 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.
â You can look for him. This is a token from Madam Soria. Please accept it.â
As he spoke.
Ah Ji handed a box of magic matches to Matthew.
There were only three matches in the matchbox.
Ah Ji explained,
â Every time you light a match, you will have a short chance to talk to the Guardian of the East.
â Chen has a good temper, but if thereâs nothing important, itâs best not to disturb the holy mage.â
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.
â How many times have I told you, Soria? Iâve already quit gambling. Donât play cards with me again. No matter what excuse you give me today, I wonât play cards with you unless you can get Yourou back.â
Matthew coughed.
â Iâm sorry, Mr. Chen. Iâm Matthew. This box of matches was given to me by Ms. Soria.â
Chen laughed and said,
âSoria, itâs not fun to pretend to be Matthew. Iâve already said that your transformation technique is terrible. Let me find your flawsâŠEh? Is it really Matthew?â
His voice involuntarily changed.
âHello, Matthew. Whatâs the matter?â
He could feel the distance in the other partyâs tone.
Matthew quickly told her about Margaretâs current situation.
After listening.
Chen couldnât help but complain,
â Isnât Soria too irresponsible? Sheâs not even willing to take care of her own students.
â And you, youâre Isabelleâs student. Why are you looking for me?
âEven the holy mages donât care about anything, right? You only know how to squeeze us little legends!â
Matthewâs face immediately turned awkward.
In fact, Chen was right. In theory, this matter was Soria or Isabelleâs 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 Councilâs authority.
It was normal to have such complaints.
âThen shall I go find my teacher?â
Matthew said softly.
However, Chen immediately denied it.
âWhy are you looking for her?
âIf you go to her for such a small matter, she will definitely scold you!
âIn the future, if you have any problems, just come to me. Iâve already thought of a solution to Margaretâs problem.
âHowever, I have something very important to do now.
âI had no time to spare.
âHow about this? Come and find me in a week.
âWhen 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 incantationâŠâ
Matthew listened attentively.
He quickly memorized the complicated incantation.
The magic match was about to burn out.
Chen asked,
âIs there anything else?â
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,
â Donât worry, Margaret will be fine. Sheâs a very strong and promising child.
â 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 meâŠâ
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 couldnât extinguish it no matter how hard he tried!
âUh, donât misunderstand. The voices you heard were all illusions!
â Iâm practising a technique to increase my resistance to illusions. Those sounds are fake, and they donât exist, hiss-!
âYes, ah, next time, rightâŠâ
Chenâs 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 âuh-huhâ that he had just heard!
Many indescribable scenes immediately appeared in front of Matthewâs 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
â Heâs really undergoing illusion resistance training!â
Matthew was stunned.
Was there special training for illusion resistance?
Other than women.
Was there any special training for gold coins, men, and power?
Matthewâs consciousness quickly dispersed.
A moment later.
He suddenly realized another problem.
