Chapter 816: The Watchman of Dusk and Queen Hauss

“Your domain resonates with the paintings of the ages-

“You have received enlightenment from the Magical Domain, and your mana has increased by 1/5!”

..

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 didn’t know whether to call Isabelle or Lorraine awesome.

At the same time.

The moment Matthew opened the scroll.

An insignificant response also entered Matthew’s spiritual world.

..

[Prompt: The lonely zombie has accepted your recruitment and has become a part of the cemetery!]

..

“Hmm? Is the recruitment successful?”

Matthew raised his eyebrows.

The zombie’s reaction was a little strange. He had already thrown out the recruitment, but only now did he get a response.

It couldn’t be that the delay was too high, right?

Judging from the other party’s nimble performance of picking up the eyeball just now, his reaction should not be too slow.

Could it be because of this painting?

Matthew’s 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 Isabelle’s 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!

“Let’s go back to the cemetery!”

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.

“Why don’t you return to your human form?”

The little black cat stuck out its tongue, but it did not answer the question.

” Who is the beautiful lady in the painting?”

He looked a little restless.

Matthew immediately warned,

“It’s someone you can’t ask about.”

Isabelle’s identity was a very sensitive existence to the Seven Saint Alliance. Other than those who knew her well, most people rarely mentioned her.

As Isabelle’s student.

It was not that Matthew did not have the right to share Isabelle’s knowledge with Eli, but considering Isabelle’s unique temper, Matthew felt that it was better for the Earth Tiger to know less!

The little black cat immediately revealed a dissatisfied expression.

“Matthew, why are you hiding her information like Boss Loraine?”

Matthew smiled helplessly.

“When the two of us chose that, you should know that this is a…She’s 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 you’ll understand that.

” However, I’m still very happy to see you alive and kicking here. Recently, I’ve 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 didn’t expect you to return safely. This is good news.”

There was a hint of embarrassment in Eli’s voice.

“I’m sorry, Matthew. I’ve made you worry.

” 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.

” 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 face…”

Eli’s narrative was only average.

However, it was true and detailed.

In just a few minutes.

Matthew had a rough understanding of this guy’s 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 cat’s size.

He even looked a little fat!

” It seems that the whale hunter treats his captives quite well.”

Matthew teased.

Eli thought for a moment and answered seriously,

” Queen Hauss isn’t particularly bad. She’s just a little crazy. Actually, she’s not very crazy. As far as I know, she’s 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.

” She’s actually quite a nice person. She has big breasts-no, she’s quite magnanimous. I offended her several times, but she didn’t punish me. Anyway, I think the Whale Hunters’ 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!”

Matthew’s 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 wasn’t scalded at all!

A breeze blew past.

In the blink of an eye.

Isabelle’s paintings were automatically burned to ashes.

Some ashes fell from Matthew’s fingertips.

He could not help but gather more ashes with his hands.
