Chapter 841: Afternoon in Jiliu City
âBut wonât anything happen to us if we suddenly appear here?â
she asked worriedly.
Matthew smiled.
â The registered wizard of Jiliu City was just a guest in my forest for a while. We wonât be troubled here.â
Sif immediately revealed a look of admiration.
However, she quickly retracted her gaze and looked at the Jade Court.
âIs that where Beanna learned to dance?
âI really envy her!
âItâs such a luxury for me to be able to go to the outside world.
âEver since I could remember, my father never allowed me to be too far away from his sight. I have always obediently followed his orders. The only time I secretly went to the countryside to play was when I was kidnapped by the Evil Art Master. That time, you saved me. From then on, I didnât dare to cause any more trouble.
âBut this kind of life is really boring!â
As she spoke.
She placed her hands in front of her chest, her forearms against the wall, and her head resting on her forearms.
At this moment.
She seemed to have turned back into a child who yearned for freedom.
She looked at the Jade Court with longing in her eyes.
Seeing this scene.
Matthew fell silent.
Sif was really smart. She probably guessed the purpose of Matthewâs trip as soon as she saw him.
He was the lobbyist invited by Rheagar.
As soon as she said this.
Matthewâs prepared speech was blocked by half.
Thus, he could only improvise.
â Is this why you want to go to the northernmost floating city?â
Sif turned her head to the other side.
âPart of it,
â The other reason is that I wanted to learn spells too.â
Matthew reminded him,
â Your body contains power that is not inferior to spells.â
However, Sif said bluntly,
âBut I hate it!
â I hate Nini. I hate every part of me that is related to the devil, just like how I hate Melinda.
âMatthew, can you understand this feeling?
âI donât know when it started, but I often feel nauseous.
âAt first, I didnât understand the source of the nausea.
âBut later, I figured it out.
âHowever, I felt even more hopeless.
âBecause it came from my father and mother.â
Sifâs tone was very calm.
However, the content of her words contained an extremely angry emotional tension.
Matthew could feel that she was trying her best to control her anger.
âYou might not know this, but not only do I hate Melindaâs selfishness, I also hate the devil bloodline that Rheagar gave me.
âI was actually furious from the bottom of my heart at the flaws my parents had left me in terms of both bloodline and spirit.
âThis thought also made me feel ashamed.
âI often wondered if such rebellious thoughts were also because I inherited the devilâs bloodline or because of Melindaâs selfishness.
âI donât know.
âI used to be able to suppress these absurd thoughts.
âHowever, ever since I awakened.
âI became more sensitive.
âI was no longer the little girl who could pretend to be innocent and nonchalant.
âI donât want to hurt my father.
âHowever, he had taught me since I was young that everything about the devil had original sin.
âAnd now heâs telling me not to hate my demonic bloodline?
âHow was this possible?
âIâve always wanted to be a sensible girl, and thatâs what Iâve always done.
âBut this time, I really couldnât control my impulse.
âI could feel my own existence being distorted.
âSometimes, I donât even understand the meaning of my existence.
âTo put it in an extreme way.
âThen it was a mistake for me to be born.
âFortunately, Iâm not that extreme.
âSo I was just a little sad and a little disgusted.
âIn my fatherâs opinion, I just need to be coaxed.
âI think so too.
âHowever, things were not that simple.
âI want to find a path of self-reconciliation.
âLeaving Rolling Stone Town and heading to the northernmost floating city, stepping into the world of mages, was just such an attempt for me.
âCan you understand how I feel?â
Sif raised her head and reached out to slightly tidy her hair, which was messed up by the wind.
Her eyes were still bright but not as carefree as when they first met.
Matthew was silenced again.
He realized that he had thought too simply before he came.
If Sif hadnât taken the initiative to speak.
He had no idea that the girl in front of him had so many thoughts hidden in her heart.
âAfter awakening?
âI wonder if itâs because of the stimulation of the Holy Grail of Sin or because of what happened to Melinda that day?â
Matthew thought carefully.
It was normal for a girl whose mother had not been by her side since she was young to have such a reaction.
He lowered his head slightly to Sif.
âIâm sorry, I thought too simply.â
Sif smiled and shook her head.
âItâs alright.
âBut itâs not as simple as you think. Itâs because youâve never cared about me.
â Whether itâs me or Beanna, youâve always treated us as little girls, but in fact, Iâm not young anymore!â
As she spoke, she puffed out her chest.
Matthew felt the swelling curve and quickly looked away.
For a race like demons, was awakening equivalent to a second growth?
He was secretly surprised.
However, Sif did not intend to let Matthew off.
She took a step forward, and the girlâs fragrance stimulated Matthewâs nerves.
She questioned loudly,
âMatthew, do you not like women?
âOr perhaps you donât like humans at all?â
Hearing this.
Matthew smiled instead.
âYou donât have to provoke me like this because my goal has always been clear.â
