Chapter 816
Chapter 816: The Watchman of Dusk and Queen Hauss
āYour domain resonates with the paintings of the ages-
āYou have received enlightenment from the Magical Domain, and your mana has increased by 1/5!ā
..
Matthew was shocked.
What kind of painting was this?
It actually increased his magic power by 1/5 with just a glance?!
The person who was doing the painting was Lorraine.
Matthew didnāt know whether to call Isabelle or Lorraine awesome.
At the same time.
The moment Matthew opened the scroll.
An insignificant response also entered Matthewās spiritual world.
..
[Prompt: The lonely zombie has accepted your recruitment and has become a part of the cemetery!]
..
āHmm? Is the recruitment successful?ā
Matthew raised his eyebrows.
The zombieās reaction was a little strange. He had already thrown out the recruitment, but only now did he get a response.
It couldnāt be that the delay was too high, right?
Judging from the other partyās nimble performance of picking up the eyeball just now, his reaction should not be too slow.
Could it be because of this painting?
Matthewās heart skipped a beat. He held the scroll and walked towards the lonely zombie. This time, the latter finally lowered its proud head.
But Matthew also noticed.
In front of Isabelleās painting, all the undead had a similar reaction, including the mother of coolies, who showed fear.
When Matthew approached.
She even knelt on the ground, her entire body trembling, and even threw the whip to the side!
In comparison.
The aloof zombie was still behaving decently!
āLetās go back to the cemetery!ā
Matthew put the scroll behind his back and gave an order to the undead.
He activated the teleportation gravestone again and asked the Mother of Slaves to bring the undead home first.
After all, the disaster had passed. If they continued to let so many undead stay in Cross City, it might cause panic.
As for this zombie, Matthew had already marked it with emphasis.
He would study it properly after he got home.
After dealing with the matter of the undead.
Matthew looked at Eli again.
āWhy donāt you return to your human form?ā
The little black cat stuck out its tongue, but it did not answer the question.
ā Who is the beautiful lady in the painting?ā
He looked a little restless.
Matthew immediately warned,
āItās someone you canāt ask about.ā
Isabelleās identity was a very sensitive existence to the Seven Saint Alliance. Other than those who knew her well, most people rarely mentioned her.
As Isabelleās student.
It was not that Matthew did not have the right to share Isabelleās knowledge with Eli, but considering Isabelleās unique temper, Matthew felt that it was better for the Earth Tiger to know less!
The little black cat immediately revealed a dissatisfied expression.
āMatthew, why are you hiding her information like Boss Loraine?ā
Matthew smiled helplessly.
āWhen the two of us chose that, you should know that this is aā¦Sheās a very special woman. If you want to have any ideas about her, I can only say that I respect her very much. I hope youāll understand that.
ā However, Iām still very happy to see you alive and kicking here. Recently, Iāve been inquiring about your whereabouts. I thought that after the incident in Cross City was over, I would still have to go to the Whale Hunters Organization to exchange blows with them to rescue you. I didnāt expect you to return safely. This is good news.ā
There was a hint of embarrassment in Eliās voice.
āIām sorry, Matthew. Iāve made you worry.
ā I was indeed caught by the boss of the whale hunters because of my carelessness. However, she also underestimated me, and I seized the opportunity to escape.
ā Coincidentally, on the way back to Cross City, I met Boss Lorraine, who was in a daze. Then, we met a woman. Boss Lorraine was scolded by that woman like a quail. After that, he started to think about how to write the article with a sad faceā¦ā
Eliās narrative was only average.
However, it was true and detailed.
In just a few minutes.
Matthew had a rough understanding of this guyās experience over the past month.
It sounded like it was full of ups and downs.
In fact, he spent about three-quarters of his time as a captive in the Whale Hunter Organization.
Matthew looked at the little black catās size.
He even looked a little fat!
ā It seems that the whale hunter treats his captives quite well.ā
Matthew teased.
Eli thought for a moment and answered seriously,
ā Queen Hauss isnāt particularly bad. Sheās just a little crazy. Actually, sheās not very crazy. As far as I know, sheās just looking for the treasures left behind by her race. This is related to their journey back to their hometown, so some of their actions seem a little radical.
ā Sheās actually quite a nice person. She has big breasts-no, sheās quite magnanimous. I offended her several times, but she didnāt punish me. Anyway, I think the Whale Huntersā attack on Cross City was a misunderstanding. When I return to the Underground Sanctuary and meet the two Archdruids, I might be able to resolve the misunderstanding between the Earth Society and the Whale Hunters!ā
Matthewās expression was a little strange.
He was about to ask Eli for more information about the Whale Hunters Organization.
But at this moment.
The painting that he had been holding with both hands behind his back suddenly started to burn!
It was strange.
Even though the painting had ignited without any wind, Matthew did not feel any heat when he touched the flames.
He wasnāt scalded at all!
A breeze blew past.
In the blink of an eye.
Isabelleās paintings were automatically burned to ashes.
Some ashes fell from Matthewās fingertips.
He could not help but gather more ashes with his hands.
