Chapter 426: I Heard You Earned A Large sum of Money?
Translator: Lonelytree
Faced with Edmond’s curious gaze, Matthew could only try to trick him, ” There’s a problem. I have this tree. It’s mutated.”
He could not say that he had strengthened an ordinary oak tree into a descendant of the World Tree.
That would be crazy.
Edmond’s expression was very calm.
It’s understandable. Plant mutations are very common in nature. I’ve studied this topic before. Most plants will more or less mutate when they encounter magic. However, it’s much rarer for plants to grow as big as yours.”
Then, he whispered into Matthew’s ear,
Don’t let Teacher Isabelle know. She once wanted a seed of the World Tree, but the Sea of Trees rejected her. Since then, she has never been nice to the Druid Church.”
Matthew knew that his nonsense could not be hidden from the big boss, Edmond, so he could only reveal an embarrassed smile.
The mages on the magic carpet could not hear their conversation.
They saw Edmond and Matthew acting intimately and whispering to each other, and their gazes towards Matthew became even more reverent.
Edmond was very understanding. He did not continue to ask, but handed two bulging bags to Matthew.
” The Moonlight Woodlands project ends here. I’ve brought them to explore the outer space that you’ve discovered. We’ve indeed obtained some materials and information. They’re placed in the second bag. You can check them at any time. In addition, I’ll submit a copy of the information to the Alliance’s records. If you have any questions, you can compare them. Frankly speaking, these things are not of much value. The Antu Empire’s psionic research is very backward, far inferior to the Giza people. There are some psionic gadgets in the laboratory, and the most valuable one is a psionic power generator. You can take a look for yourself later.
“However, my suggestion is that it’s best not to invest too much energy into psionic abilities. That’s not a domain that a mage should be immersed in.” Matthew nodded repeatedly.
Recently, he also felt that his energy and time were not enough. This was not unrelated to his greedy thinking of wanting to learn something from everything he saw.
It was time to start reducing his burden.
Psionic energy was originally meant for fun.
During a real fight, Matthew normally relied on his undead.
Matthew’s attitude was sincere.
Edmond laughed again.
“As for the first bag, it contains a list of nineteen people and three hundred and eighty thousand gold coins. In the Alliance, there are many ways to spend money. You have to be careful of money traps, especially Roderick’s counterfeit factory. Not every powerful magic tool is a must-buy, so you have to choose something that suits you.” Matthew hurriedly said, “I won’t spend money recklessly.”
Edmond laughed.
“Don’t be nervous, I’m not stopping you from spending money. In fact, learning how to spend money properly is one of the compulsory courses for mages. Why don’t we make a bet? I think you’ll spend all the money in the bag in three days. Do you think you can last longer?”
Matthew was stunned.
“That’s impossible. I’ve never been extravagant with my money.” Edmond said confidently,
“Then let’s make a symbolic bet of one gold coin. How about it?”
Matthew immediately agreed. “Of course.”
“Then, I’ll be leaving first.
“I wish you a happy spending in advance!” Edmond waved at Matthew.
After saying that, he returned to the magic carpet and flew towards the east with the mages with different expressions.
Matthew watched them leave.
A moment later.
A trace of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes.
“Why didn’t they go through the Cauldron House? Isn’t teleportation faster?”
However, his attention was quickly attracted by the first bag, which contained a huge sum of 380,000 gold coins.
Matthew held the bag tightly, his heart thumping. With this money and the profit of more than 100,000 gold coins from this adventure, he could not help but feel nervous.
His personal net worth went straight to five hundred thousand gold coins!
He had been struggling on the poverty line for a long time, and he had never seen such a scene before.
Matthew was so happy that he almost fainted.
500,000 gold coins. If I use all of it to buy oak seeds, how many trees can I plant?”
He tried his best to imagine, but he could not visualize the whole forest in his mind.
” I can’t spend all of this money. I have to save a portion of it first, at least for a few years. If I have nothing to do, I’ll be happy even if I count the gold coins. I
can also make Peggy happy.”
Matthew thought about it for a while and put it away.
As for the bet with Edmond…
He didn’t care at all.
He had always been a temperamental person. Spending 380,000 gold coins in three days?
It was impossible.
The mages from the Seven Saint Alliance witnessed Bogard’s growth.]
After daybreak, the surrounding residents would also be attracted by the natural wonder of Bogard.
The legend of Bogard would soon spread in the form of gossip or written reports.
Your faction’s legend level +1 (Seven Saint Alliance).
Bogard’s regional legend level +1 (Southern Land).
He came back to his senses.
Matthew also knew that Bogard’s sudden appearance could not be hidden.
Tomorrow morning, he would probably have to discuss with Rheagar and the others how to tell the residents of Rolling Stone Town about Bogard’s origins so as to avoid potential panic..
