A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

..

"Let me think…"

Matthew whispered to Hood.

Hood smiled and nodded.

" Of course, you can sit here for hours. They will leave after midnight."

Then, he shut his mouth and ate and drank in silence.

Matthew's eyes lit up as he quickly sorted out the context and cause and effect of this matter in his mind.

The first thing he thought about was…

Did he really have the right to decide on this matter?

Putting aside the acquiescence of the higher-ups and the potential test.

If Matthew invited Hood to stop the expedition plan of Alexander and the others with him, he would be able to do so.

Could they do that?

The answer was obvious: they couldn't stop it.

As the former head warden of Mount Black Suo, Alexander was an out-and-out Legend. He might be slightly weaker than Hera in terms of raw power, but he was definitely not someone that Matthew and Hood, two Tier 5 mages, could stop.

Moreover, he had more than 20 experienced Tier 5 mages behind him.

Just these law enforcement teams from Black Suo Mountain could cause a lot of trouble for Matthew and Hood.

With the determination and attitude shown by Alexander and the Black Gold Troop…

It was impossible for Matthew to stop them.

In that case, what was the point of letting Matthew participate?

Matthew tried to consider this matter from the perspective of the higher-ups.

One thing was for sure.

This matter should have been tacitly approved by the various Holy Mages or Legendary-mages. Even Hood's help in opening the portal had been tacitly approved.

This meant that to a certain extent.

The Seven Sages would not stop Alexander's expedition.

" Even without me, this plan would have gone smoothly.

"The IOU that Soria gave me only gave me an opportunity to enter this operation.

" If I had followed the trail back then, I would have most likely found clues to Hood or Jiliu City.

"At that time, with my relationship with Hood, it won't be difficult to figure out the ins and outs of all this…"

Matthew's mind was very clear.

He realized that even after he was removed from this matter, the entire sequence of events was still the same.

In fact, even if Soria gave Matthew an IOU and Matthew chose to give up because he found it troublesome, he would accidentally cut into the expedition team's plan again while tracking down the clue of the Book of the Dead Souls.

Matthew pondered for a moment.

The Book of the Dead Souls and the stolen goods that had disappeared were probably things that even the Seven Saints did not know about.

A holy mage might be omniscient in the general direction.

However, there were definitely a lot of details that slipped through the net.

Therefore, the current situation was really a coincidence and fate.

However, from another point of view.

Matthew had a balanced perception and was very sensitive to the changes in the elements around him.

If a person could always pay attention to the changes in the details around him and the subtle clues behind them, then naturally, he would be easily entangled with the higher-level parts of fate.

This was a fortuitous opportunity.

It was also the necessity of fate.

In other words.

Matthew's appearance did not affect the overall situation at all.

"But Hood is right.

"Since I've bumped into this matter, I should be the one to make the decision."

Matthew was very clear.

The decision he made wasn't important to the people in front of him, to the higher-ups of the Alliance, or even to the world!

Instead, it was very important to him.

"If I choose to report this to the Alliance, using the situation where Lonan and Qin Wuyue lost contact for no reason as an example, it is very likely that I will be treated coldly. Not only will it push me into an awkward situation, but I will also be hated by Alexander and the Black Gold Army.

"On the contrary, if I can let them go, I will most likely gain the friendship of the expedition team, or even more…Haha."

A smile flashed across Matthew's eyes.

Perhaps this was the gift that Soria had given him.

This troop might be able to surprise many people in the astral plane!

At this moment.

Matthew finally understood Rambo's previous attitude.

These people did not treat him as a traitor to the Alliance at all!

It was just that the officials could not personally participate.

They only gave themselves the identity of traitors, and the Alliance officials had to pretend to arrest them.

This was the only way.

Only then would they be able to commit crimes in the astral plane without affecting the Alliance itself.

Although this act of drawing a clear line did not convince everyone, at least it could save the Alliance some trouble.

Matthew was slightly moved.

Alexander's trip was similar to Margaret's one-on-one battle with Purgatory.

The only difference was…

On the surface, the latter was still a member of the Alliance, and a considerable number of demons were still afraid of her.

Alexander and the others were traitors of the Alliance.

Matthew could already imagine what kind of storm they would encounter when they arrived in the astral plane!

" Perhaps I can do something about this."

Thinking of this.

Matthew suddenly stood up.

He turned around and walked towards the hall.

"Can I talk to them?"

Hood's voice came from behind.

"It's not impossible, but as I said before, most of them are undergoing a silencing ritual.

" If you want to communicate with them, you have to do it in a space that guarantees privacy."

Matthew steadied himself and looked back.

"Don't worry.

"Absolute privacy."
