Chapter 919: Margaret's Funeral
" But I told them that if even the necromancers did good things after joining the Alliance, wouldn't it improve the image of the Alliance?
" Look, what a reasonable statement. No one here refuted it, so you naturally became the first in line for the Rising Star Plan.
" After that, the Alliance will promote you appropriately. You just need to cooperate. You will receive additional subsidies and a good reputation. However, during this period, you must pay attention to your private life…"
Matthew hurriedly said,
"My personal life has always been very clean."
Isabelle knocked on the table.
"This is the problem!
"Your private life is too clean. It's so clean that people think you're a pervert!
" It's normal for mages to be unsociable with humans, but if a mage is unsociable with both humans and mages, then there's a big problem!
" In short, you have to change your private life in the future. I'm not asking you to do anything, but you still have to have a necessary life, understand?"
Matthew scratched his head.
"Does the Alliance even want to interfere with this?"
Isabelle said calmly,
" We don't want to create perfect gods who are high above. We just want people to understand some mages who are more down-to-earth.
" As a powerful mage, a suitable stain will help you gain the favour of others.
" According to my observation, compared to an aloof and powerful mage and a playboy, the latter is more popular with ordinary people.
" Of course, the most important thing is that in the process of exploring the domain, you are constantly breaking the boundaries. You need to experience all kinds of lives and break all kinds of boundaries. If you don't even have the basic attempts, it may become an obstacle on your path to legend in the future.
" That's why I'm here to give you a small personal mission. Before becoming a Legend, you must have sex at least three times.
"Otherwise, I can only find someone to rape you."
Matthew was dumbfounded.
At first, he thought Isabelle was joking, but the look in her eyes told him.
She was serious.
Matthew couldn't help but ask in fear,
"Who would you find to carry out such a mission?"
Isabelle seemed to be stumped by Matthew's train of thought.
She thought for a moment.
" Soria's female student was originally a very good match. Unfortunately, she died too quickly, and her age is not suitable.
" There really aren't many female Mages in the Alliance who meet the requirements, but if I can expand the choices, I can entrust many people.
" I know a powerful female Orc Overlord in the Flying Land. She has extremely strong gluteus and pectorals. I'm sure you'll be impressed.
" In the Black Suo Mountain Prison, I once imprisoned a lustful demon, and her skills were not bad either. I'm not saying this for nothing. I once turned into a man and spent the night with her, so my evaluation is highly reliable.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll entrust Hera to do this. You should know her, right? She is a miracle among automatons. If she were to carry out this mission, I would have to pay her a considerable appearance fee. In the end, this fee will be borne by you…"
Isabelle spoke frankly.
The more Matthew listened, the more afraid he became.
He hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said,
"I'll think of a way to solve it myself!"
Isabelle nodded coldly.
"You better!"
Matthew braced himself and agreed.
Isabelle's expression softened.
" In short, it won't be long before the people from the news department contact you. You just need to cooperate with their plan.
" Oh, right, I forgot to tell you that the head of the news department is also an old acquaintance of yours. That bard's professionalism is quite outstanding. I'm sure it'll be more pleasant for you to do things."
An old acquaintance?
Lorraine?
Matthew immediately thought of this name.
" No wonder when he described my origin story, he exaggerated it and portrayed me as a scumbag.
"I'm afraid my teacher is behind this!"
Although it was hard to accept at first, Matthew was very adaptable.
This world was crazy.
If everyone was dancing, then you should at least shake your butt, right?
"And then there's the third matter."
Isabelle said seriously,
" The Scar of the Dead project must be carried out as soon as possible. Your previous thinking was correct, but the completion rate of the Umbrella Project is not high enough!
"You better come up with new results within a week!
"Otherwise, I'll send you to the Black Suo Mountain Prison and find a single room for you. You're not allowed to come out until there's a result!"
Matthew's heart tightened.
Fortunately, he did not waste any time these past few days!
Every day, he would take a break from his busy schedule to carry out the idea of upgrading the Umbrella Project.
Although the upgraded version of the protective umbrella was only a theoretical draft.
But at the very least, there were some results!
Matthew hurriedly handed the draft over.
Isabelle flipped through it seriously.
"It's alright."
A satisfied expression appeared on her face.
"Have you already completed the Contract of Equalization?"
Matthew nodded.
"This contract has already been applied to my right hand and my two ritual grounds. The effect is not bad.
" If it's further promoted, it should be able to neutralize the risk of spreading the Scorched Land of Death."
Isabelle reminded him.
