A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 439: The World Is Like a Filthy Fish Tank

Translator: Lonelytree

Soria smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, but she still reminded him,

“You have to pay interest if you borrow money from me. Are you sure you want to do this?” Matthew said calmly,

“I’m sure.”

Other than the interest, there were many potential benefits to borrowing money from Soria.

The most direct point was that both parties had formed an unbreakable debt relationship.

Once this debt was owed, Matthew did not plan to pay it back in the near future.

With this bond, at least they were not strangers.

To be able to build a relationship with a Holy Mage, even if it was through a

debt, was still useful.

If Matthew interpreted this interest as Soria’s public relations fee, then he did not lose too much.

Thinking about it this way…

He did not feel so bad.

Soria looked at him with satisfaction.

“Smart young man.

“People who owe me money will enter my field of vision. This is more beneficial than harmful to young people.

But you didn’t think so three days ago. What changed your mind?”

Her gaze was unbridled as she examined Matthew.

A few seconds later.

Soria smiled.

“So it’s them!”

Matthew felt his chest heat up.

The two magic gold coins flew out of his pocket and landed in Soria’s hands.

“Edmond and Roderick?”

Soria snorted.

I can understand your concerns. You’re too cautious, kid. Even the beloved Head Mage is someone you suspect?”

Matthew quickly denied, “No. No.”

But your suspicions are correct. Edmond is indeed not a good person.”

Soria tapped on one of the gold coins, and the latter turned into a golden voucher with a bang.

” There’s a voucher hidden in the magic gold coin that Roderick gave you. You can use it at any magic tool shop produced by Roderick’s factory. When you buy more than 500,000, you’ll get a 50,000 discount. This old man is still as stingy as ever.”

She then flicked Edmond’s gold coin, which immediately turned into a dark green gemstone.

” This is the backdoor that Edmond left for you, Dark Emerald. With this token, you can enter the secret organization ‘Snake Mountain Sect’. This organization is filled with talented mages from Edmond’s network. They work for Edmond, and in return, Edmond gives them benefits.”

Matthew muttered,

” Are these people including Blinken from the Dragon Worship Sect?” Soria nodded.

” The Snake Mountain Gang are involved in illegal work. Blinken was the former vice president of the Snake Mountain Gang.

“If you join this organization, Edmond will help you grow quickly. Aren’t you tempted?”

Matthew shook his head. “I just want to walk my own path.”

Soria snapped her fingers.

‘ Understood. In return for borrowing money from me, I’ll help you get rid of this dark green gem. If Edmond comes to you after this, you can say that I took the initiative to steal your magic gold coins. “He won’t dare to do anything to you.”

Matthew thanked her profusely.

“Actually, if your moral bottom line is a little lower, joining the Snake Mountain Gang is a good choice. There are countless mages in the Alliance who want to join, but they don’t have a chance.

“I mean, there are so many people working for Edmond in the Snake Mountain Gang.

“But there was only one Blinken.

“As long as you can get past the barrier in your heart, this secret organization can help you become stronger.”

Soria sounded like she felt sorry for Matthew.

Matthew remained firm.

Joining other organizations too early will only distract me. My daily affairs are enough for me now. I just want to go on step by step. I never expect to reach the top in a single step.”

Soria nodded.

It’s good to have your own ideals. You’re not attracted by my Construct, nor are you bewitched by Edmond’s organization. I believe you’ll have your own achievements in the future.

“However, there is no need for you to be too hostile towards Edmund. He is not as bad as you think.

“Alright, I admit that I know he has done a lot of bad things, but I don’t think he’s completely bad.

“Edmond’s existence is the epitome of this alliance.

“For money, for power, for knowledge, mages would do anything.

“This is also the reason why many forbidden experiments could not be banned within the Alliance.

“Morality is a luxury for mages.

“Only when a mage was strong enough would they have enough time to pity mortals.

“For example, me.

“I don’t agree with their actions, but I can understand them.

“After all, not everyone can rely on legitimate business to make a living like me.

“Now that I say this.

“You might think that the Alliance is horrible.

“However, every time the world was in trouble, it was the group of horrid mages in the Alliance who stepped forward and held on bitterly.

“Take Edmond as an example.

“As far as I know, he instigated Blinken to defect and used the Dragon Worship Sect’s name to collect forbidden materials like Dragon Mountain Ash. He was also involved in several cases of human trafficking. “All of this was to support his bullsh * t spell research.

“It was inhumane.

“It might even be a heinous crime.

“However, 49 years ago, when Star Beast Dorora invaded the Aindor Continent and broke through the plane barrier, it was also Edmond who guarded the frontline.

“That battle in the astral plane was extremely tragic.

“A large number of mages died in the battle.

“Edmond himself was also severely injured. His chest had been torn apart by the Astral Beast’s tail, and his heart had been completely crushed. He had yet to recover.

“At that time, even the Legendary Restoration spell almost failed to save him.

“Even after defeating Dorora.

“The remnant power of the Astral Beast still troubled Edmond’s nerves.

“It was said that he had completely lost the ability to sleep.

“He hadn’t slept for 49 years.

“His soul had even been permanently injured by the star beast.

“But on that day 49 years ago…

“What happened on this continent?

“The ice storm had been blowing on the northern ice field for several months.

“There were several torrential rains on the southern coast.

“No one knew what the Astral Beast’s success in breaking through the plane barrier meant to the Aindor Continent.

“All we know is…

“After the ascension of the Heavenly Palace, many mages died in battles against the outer worlds every year.

“Astral World, Abyss, Evil Spirits, Purgatory… There are too many monsters eyeing our world. “The world is still peaceful.

“Isn’t it?”

Matthew was speechless for a long time.

Soria looked at him with sparkling eyes.

“I’m telling you this not to tell you how great Eckmond is or how great the mages are.

“Before the ascension of the Heavenly Palace, the gods had also paid a lot to protect this world.

“It’s just that this responsibility is now in our hands.

“No matter how strong you are.

“It is still insignificant in this world.

“The only thing we can do is to find our place and do our best.

“This world is like a dirty fish tank.

“We’re like fish in a tank,

“If you dislike the dirty water flow, you can choose to stay out of it.

“If you have no bottom line, then joining them is par for the course.

“However, if you were really ambitious and wanted to jump onto the water to take a look, you would be able to do so.

“Then you must put in all your effort, learn to distinguish the path ahead in the dirty water and accumulate strength.

“Only then would you be able to see the fish tank in its entirety one day.

“At that time.

“You might even want to change the water in the fish tank.

“And if you want to do this.

“Do you know what you need?”

Matthew said seriously, “Please advise me.”

“Money!

“Money!

“Everything is about money!”

Soria snapped her fingers and stood up happily.

“Let’s go to the workshop.

“Take off your clothes first.”
