Chapter 716: Vivienâs Milk Tea Technique
Translator: Lonelytree
Matthew looked impressed.
There was no shortage of smart people in this world. The Earth Societyâs methods were quite reasonable. If the â Blue Veil Dream â 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.
HoweverâŠ
â The power of the ritual ground is weakeningâŠ
â Someone threw a large amount of blood and bones in the vicinity. Theyâre trying to awaken the activity of the Scar of the Dead!â
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.
âDid 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.â
Vivien said coldly,
â I told you, kill the Withering King first, then follow the clues to find other clues. This is the fastest way!
â The Order of Calamity, the Order of Withering, and the other whale-hunters are all jackals of the same feather. Isnât it simple logic that the others will appear after killing one?â
Matthew sighed softly.
Perhaps what Vivien said was right.
However, he really couldnât stand the tone of this womanâs 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,
âIâm sorry. Due to some personal reasons, I might need to leave for a while.
â 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.â
Hibbert was stunned.
âAre you going to abandon us?â
Matthew choked.
What kind of question was this?
Just as he was trying to organize his words, Vivien finally exploded.
âSo Iâve been walking around with you for a long time, but you still donât want to kill the Withering King with me?
âIâm really⊠Iâm so angry!
â Hibbert, go play with him yourself. Iâll go to the Helen Mountains alone!â
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.
âActually, Vivien has good intentions. Itâs just that sheâs the same as me. She doesnât really know how to get along with people.
â How should I put it? Did you notice that she actually wanted you to kill the Withering King with her?â
Matthew nodded.
Hibbert explained,
â Vivien is a very proud girl. She doesnât submit to anyone other than me. So, if itâs just to kill the Withered King, she definitely wonât think that she needs anyone elseâs help.
â And the reason why she insisted that you go with her was because she was afraid that you wouldnât be able to receive the money from the Silver Council.
âDo you understand what I mean? Sheâs afraid that sheâll solve all the problems by herself. If that happens, youâll 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.
âFrom her point of view, she just wants to help you complete this mission quickly.
â Believe me, other than looking down on you, she doesnât have any bad intentions towards you.â
Hibbertâs tone was very sincere.
Matthew revealed an understanding smile.
âI think I understand now. If Vivien is really like what you said, then I have indeed misunderstood her.
â But I also hope that you will understand that respecting others is not a luxury.
âIf we change the way we communicate, our investigation team might be able to last longer.â
Hibbert laughed bitterly.
âSorry, Iâm learning.â
Matthew patted him on the shoulder.
âIt doesnât matter. We can do our own things. Maybe we can get the same results using our own investigation methods.â
Hibbert nodded.
â Of course. You two will definitely find the same finish line.â
Matthew looked at him curiously.
âWhat about you?â
Hibbert sat on the ground.
âIâm waiting for the finish line to come find me.â
After separating from Hibbert, Matthew returned to Cross City.
He met up with Peggy in a small alley.
âHowâs the situation on your side?â
Matthew asked.
Peggy sighed.
â A group of homeless children. Becoming pickpockets might be their best fate. They were almost bewitched into becoming heretics.
â I heard that the Druids here used to take care of them, but the situation has changed, and they have lost their homes.â
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.
âIn a while, the two of you try your best to act menacing.â
He reminded Peggy and Soldier.
Peggy patted her chest confidently.
âNo problem. We donât look like good people!â
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,
âI heard that youâre recruiting.
âDo you need a necromancer?â
