Chapter 46: Birth of Evil
"I shouldn’t wish for Sif to get into any more harm. The child has already suffered.
"Although… I wouldn’t mind saving Rheagar one time.”
Just like that.
Five days later.
In the evening.
In the oak forest.
Matthew carried the sack and shovel and walked leisurely back to the hut.
When he was less than 50 meters away from the wooden house.
His domain suddenly triggered automatically!
"The big guy is coming!”
An oak tree secretly told him.
Matthew turned to the west.
A figure rushed over.
He rushed in front of Matthew, paused for a moment, and then asked in a particularly unhappy tone,
“It’s fine if there are no animals in your forest, but why aren’t there any berries?!!” Eli glared at him.
Matthew thought for a moment.
"Maybe because this is an oak forest?”
Eli’s dissatisfaction became even more serious.
“That’s not what I meant. Of course, I know that this is an oak forest, but why are there only oak trees in the forest and no other plants?”
Matthew put down his shovel and explained in a friendly manner, ” It’s like this, Mr Eli. I just started to plant this forest. I’m not a forestry expert. I only know how to plant oak trees for now.” Eli revealed an incredulous expression.
Then, he sneered,
It’s indeed in line with my understanding of necromancers. How can there be only one kind of tree in a forest? Forget it. I don’t want to talk about this with you today. You know, Shapeshifters like me often need a lot of meat to replenish their energy. Of course, I have mastered many druid spells that enable my survival. For example, I have a spell that can help me fill my stomach with a small amount of berries. However, the problem is that you have nothing here!”
Matthew looked enlightened.
He was wondering why Eli had been running around in the forest for the past few days!
So he was looking for food?!
"So, you hadn’t eaten for five days?” Matthew hurriedly asked.
"Four days!”
Eli revealed a cold expression that showed disdain for talking to Matthew.
“On the third day, I couldn’t help but steal a chicken from the farm next door. But I can’t do too much of this kind of thing, and this debt will be on you. Matthew, I’m guarding the forest for you!”
Guard the forest for Matthew?
Matthew thought for a moment and connected the cause and effect.
"It seems like he wants to repay me for me bringing him into the oak domain.”
Matthew’s opinion of Eli changed a lot.
"In that case, Mr Eli, let’s have a meal at my place.”
He sent out an invitation.
"I won’t eat with a necromancer! I’ll stay here. You can bring the food to me!”
Eli’s attitude was still stinking and unyielding.
Matthew didn’t mind.
"In that case, I can only give you this first.”
The Magic Bag that Sif had given him just happened to produce a large batch of biscuits.
Matthew handed it over.
He sniffed the liver and wanted to eat.
Matthew smiled.
He turned around and went back to his room to eat.
After dinner.
He found that Eli was still in the same spot.
Hence, he took the initiative to go over and say hello,
“What’s wrong, Mr. Eli? Are you not full?”
Eli glanced at him.
“I’m full. Thank you.”
His tone was still very firm.
After saying that, he glanced at Matthew’s wooden house.
“What did you eat just now?”
Matthew pursed his oily lips. “Just a simple meal.’
"Is that so? I smell sausages.”
Eli looked at him suspiciously.
Matthew changed the topic.
"So, the reason why you are staying in my forest is to repay me for the little help I inadvertently gave you? If that’s the case, there’s no need for that because it was just an accident. I only wanted to provide Samantha with domain enlightenment. You were able to comprehend it purely because of your amazing talent.”
When he heard Matthew mention Samantha, the veins on Eli’s forehead twitched.
He used a lot of strength to hold back his anger.
"I have a ruler in my heart. I won’t leave until I pay back what I owe you.
"Don’t underestimate me. We, Druids, are the true kings of the jungle. If I didn’t guard the forest for you, these oak trees would have been destroyed by the evil
Witherers!”
Matthew laughed.
He wanted to tell Eli that he didn’t owe him anything.
However, Matthew swallowed his words when he saw the proud face of Eli.
Hence, he nodded and said,
“If you want to stay, of course, you can. Please do as you please. I’ll get someone to prepare a portion of food for you.”
As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper, seemingly preparing to record.
The corner of Eli’s mouth twitched.
“No need. The biscuits just now will do.”
Matthew chuckled.
“Biscuit or sausage?” Eli hesitated for a moment.
“Sausage then.”
"Do you want anything else? For example, drinks?”
Matthew asked again.
Eli shook his head decisively.
“No need.”
"Milk or coffee?” Matthew did not seem to hear him.
"Um, milk,” Eli answered awkwardly.
"Then, from tomorrow morning onwards, you can come here to find me before I start planting trees. I will give you the food for that day.”
Matthew lowered his head and scribbled a few lines.
He looked at his serious expression.
A thought suddenly came to Eli’s mind.
‘Does he treat his employees so well all the time? ‘No, damn it! I’m not an employee of this necromancer!’
He raised his head fiercely.
However, he was shocked to find that Matthew had already left..
