A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1805 - 498 Soul Copper Coins
Chapter 1805: 498 Soul Copper Coins
...
Facing this question,
Sif first snorted lightly, then said in a very strange tone,
"He is the man I love the most in my life!"
Matthew was slightly surprised.
Then his heart skipped a beat, and his face showed an incredulous look,
"No way..."
"He..."
However, his words were suddenly interrupted by Sif,
"If you don't let me go, will the Dream Stone that I've been preparing to take out end up in the hands of that monster Captain?"
Dream Stone?
Matthew's face showed a querying expression.
Sif glared at him and said bitterly,
"Do you have to meddle in everything?"
Matthew smiled,
"You know my personality and temper very well."
Sif gritted her teeth and said,
"Of course."
"On the surface, you seem amiable, but deep down you're more stubborn and domineering than anyone else!"
"You always want others to follow your thinking, don't you?"
Matthew blinked,
"You could also try to persuade me instead of venting your emotions here."
Sif looked around again,
"This is Lost Paradise, isn't it?"
"I really shouldn't have followed you into this space."
Matthew just smiled without a word.
In Lost Paradise,
he held supreme authority and power.
Even though Sif had activated the Blood of Barthor, she might still have some ability to fight back against Matthew outside, but in Lost Paradise, it was definitely all Matthew's call.
If he could,
he could even use a thousand ways to bind her until she submitted obediently.
Of course,
Matthew would not do so easily.
A few seconds passed.
Sif seemed to have accepted her helpless state and quickly calmed down,
"The Dream Stone is the linchpin for reconstructing the natural dreamland, and reshaping the essence of star spirits."
"With it, there's a chance to transform this planet into a part of Purgatory."
"This matter relates to my agreement with the Demoness of Desire—"
"As long as I help her expand the Tenth Purgatory, she will return my father's soul to me..."
Matthew nodded.
Sif had indeed met Glacia.
Her actions were also driven by the Demoness of Desire's instructions, the explanation made sense.
But he still had many doubts,
"Why you?"
"Are you saying she took Rheager's soul just to make you conquer Storluk?"
It was inconceivable.
Keep in mind.
When Rheager had just been taken away, the Blood of Barthor within Sif hadn't been fully activated; at best, she was a potential spellcaster.
And now,
Matthew felt an extremely dangerous threat from Sif the moment he saw her.
This threat was even no less than that from the Starry Night God.
This left Matthew astonished but also in awe of the terrifying nature of the Blood of Barthor—
And he told himself.
He might not be able to look at Sif with the same eyes as before...
"She chose not just me, but the entire Blood Robes Kingdom."
Sif quickly said,
"She told me it's a debt Mophisto owes her, and only after the Blood Robes Kingdom repays it will she return Rheager's soul and rescind the perennial war decree and warrants by Barthor Purgatory against the Blood Robes Kingdom."
Matthew nodded again.
He knew that Mophisto was the progenitor of the Blood Robes, who had been Glacia's guard and lover, but who had betrayed the Demoness of Desire while on a mission to find the Blood of Barthor and conquering lands.
This superior Devil also represented the beginning of the millennia-long enmity (in Purgatory's time) between the Blood Robes Kingdom and the Demoness of Desire.
No wonder Storluk was in such turmoil.
Old Morgan, Sif, Lutisia continuously entering the fray, whereas the adjacent Barthor Purgatory remained silent.
Turns out Sif herself was working for Glacia.
This person did nothing, and merely by the soul of Rheager, she could reap the benefits of a conflict of this level?
Matthew found it a bit absurd,
"This is too crazy."
"How could Lutisia agree to this?"
Sif did not withhold the truth,
"Because the Blood Robes Kingdom is also facing a crisis of existence!"
"And a large part of the crisis that the Blood Robes Kingdom faces is actually quite closely related to my father, Rheager."
"I only realized this after having lived in the Blood Robes Kingdom for a while—
In a sense, Rheager indeed wasn't responsible enough.
Indeed.
He was responsible towards me, towards us, towards a group of humans in Rolling Stone Town who had no blood relation to him.
But towards the Blood Robes Kingdom that bore and raised him, it was a completely different extreme.
He shouldered Rolling Stone Town,

But he forgot about the Blood Robes Kingdom.
I can now understand Lutisia's dissatisfaction.
Maybe people are just that strange sometimes..."
Saying this,
Sif seemed to be hinting something as she glanced at Matthew.
Matthew could only give a wry smile.
The girl was implying that he valued the Rolling Stone Kingdom more than Rheager did.
This insinuation wasn't wrong.
Over the past six months, indeed Matthew had been spread too thin; he could only start with what was before him.
He could understand Sif's resentment.
But given the chance to do it over, Matthew would still stand by his choices.
"Rheager probably thought that the Blood Robes Kingdom was strong enough that it didn't need his protection to flourish forever."
"But that's not the case."
"He didn't know the pressure Lutisia was under—
The invasion of the Abyss;
Storluk's relentless approach;
And the pressure from the Demoness of Desire!"
"After the great ruptures, several defensive fronts along the borders of the Blood Robes Kingdom were critical, some cities were even breached by the Space Undead Army from Storluk."
"Numerous demons sacrificed themselves on the battlefield, but their sacrifice seemed meaningless, as it did not sway the balance of the war."
