A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1223: Do You Want to Be the Warden?
..
Matthew looked deeply at Melinda.
He wanted to kick her out, but in the end, he said in a low voice,
"Let's talk inside."
A few minutes later.
In the reception room of the Cemetery, Matthew led Melinda through the entrance.
Compared to the repeatedly upgraded workshop, the reception room still looked a little shabby.
But Matthew did not care.
As long as the functions were complete, it would be fine.
Melinda, who had always been arrogant, did not react to the shabbiness of the reception room.
In fact.
She had always looked straight ahead and knew her limits.
"Before I came over this time around, I heard some of the latest news about you…"
Melinda said embarrassedly.
Matthew instinctively responded,
"Has the news of the Underdark reached you?"
Melinda was shocked.
"Underdark?
"What did you do in the Underdark?"
Matthew laughed and shook his head. It seemed that the other party knew about the previous news.
"It's nothing.
"Sit."
Melinda quickly waved her hand.
"No need, I can stand."
Matthew raised his eyebrows.
"Sit."
Melinda immediately knelt on the cushion.
She wasn't wearing a mage robe today. Instead, she had changed into a tight leather jacket. The black, glue-like material accentuated her curvaceous figure.
It was only then that Matthew noticed that her makeup was lighter today.
Her face was actually 50 - 60% similar to Sif's.
However, her temperament was more mature.
Her figure was also better.
However, after observing this, the disgust in Matthew's heart did not decrease at all.
He said rather coldly,
"I'll give you three minutes to explain yourself.
"Otherwise, I'll either chase you away or send you to Black Suo Mountain."
The moment she heard the words 'Black Suo Mountain'.
Melinda's eyes flashed with fear, but she didn't show any resentment towards Matthew. She quickly said,
" Storluk Industries wants to invest in you!"
Matthew frowned.
"Isn't this the same as last time?"
"It's different!"
Melinda bent down, her head hanging so low that it almost touched her chest.
"This time, they are truly sincere.
"Me too."
Matthew instantly reacted.
Melinda's sincerity was probably an even lower stance.
It made sense. Explore stories on novelbuddy
After the Blood Moon attack, the Storluk industrial headquarters must have made a new assessment of the current situation of Aindor, especially the Alliance.
In their eyes, the rising Rolling Stone Kingdom was definitely worth fighting for.
Compared to the last time Melinda came.
This time, the number of chips the other party brought was definitely much more than before.
Matthew's guess was that Melinda, who was extremely self-interested, must have something or reason to convince him if she dared to come.
Thinking of this.
Matthew muttered,
"Rheagar won't agree."
His words were obviously nonsense; his goal was to give himself some leeway while probing Melinda's background.
As expected.
The other party immediately said,
"It's really different this time.
" Storluk Industries offered a very, very high price. It's so high that you can't even imagine it.
" But that's not the point. The point is that I don't intend to persuade you to pledge your loyalty to them. I only intend to persuade you to accept their benefits first!"
The other party was so straightforward.
Matthew was stunned.
After a few seconds, he asked in confusion,
"Are you going to help us cheat Storluk Industries?"
Melinda smiled.
" I promised them that I would persuade you to accept help, but I never said how I would persuade you.
"I can help you get a lot of benefits.
" Aren't you guys going to establish a Rolling Stone Kingdom? That would require a lot of money, right?
" As far as I know, Rheagar has some money, but it's far from enough for a kingdom. In the future, he will have more and more places to use money. He's a big spender, and soon, he will have nothing to live for, and then he will be hard-pressed.
"You don't want to see that happen, do you?
" So, it's best to pretend to agree to the aid of Storluk Industries.
" In addition to the aid from Storluk, I can also provide some financial assistance. I have saved a lot of money over the years. I even secretly hid two gold mines. As long as you agree, the two gold mines are yours!"
Melinda looked at Matthew with a burning gaze.
Matthew shifted his gaze uncomfortably.
It wasn't that he was afraid of meeting Melinda's gaze, but it was just that her gaze was so bright that it made him feel as if he was looking at a gold mine.
He was afraid that he would be confused.
Matthew didn't say anything.
Melinda continued to persuade,
" Rolling Stone Town is indeed a country with great potential. With the aid of Storluk Industries' products and technology, the future of the Rolling Stone Kingdom will definitely be bright.
" You don't have to worry about Storluk Industries asking you to repay them in the short term.
" I can tell you a secret information: the dead souls on Planet Storluk have been scared out of their wits. Their troops are indeed strong, but they are far inferior to the Seven Saint Alliance in ultra-long-distance combat.
"They're doing everything they can to make up for this weakness, but until their true leader, the Frost King, arrives, I'm afraid there won't be a solution."
