…

"Forbidden ritual?"

Alice's voice was slightly colder.

Matthew didn't hear it for a moment and smiled sheepishly:

"In fact, I plan to apply for a fund from the Alliance for the research and application of this ritual. I remember that Alliance members have similar rights, right?"

When Alice heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.

She quickly reached back with her right hand, and was about to take out something from the large robe, but Fandral held her down.

"Alice, calm down. You are no longer a field officer of Mount Blackso. You have no law enforcement rights now."

While speaking, Fandral forcefully pushed the hard thing back.

Then he dragged Alice to another corner of the living room. The two of them pushed and pushed for a while, and Alice's robe opened a corner.

Matthew glanced at it and vaguely saw the outline of a pair of magic handcuffs.

At this time, the two of them had arrived in the garden.

Alice growled at Fandral:

"Did you hear what he was saying just now? He wants to hold a scorched earth death ceremony and apply for funds from the alliance! Even Guan...even someone recommended by Lord Ronan can't do whatever he wants, right?"

Fandral said helplessly:

"When can you change the bad temper you developed in the field? Maybe Mr. Matthew has other reasons? And even if he really has a problem, we only need to record the problem truthfully, and then the field personnel will naturally go there.

Find him."

Alice sarcastically said:

"Record? How to record? Use the method you taught me? Didn't you see those ridiculous things I just wrote on the paper? Isn't that enough?"

Fandral sighed and stopped talking.

Alice calmed down for a moment, with a slight look of guilt on her face:

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. I know you taught me what you did for my own good. I'm still not qualified for clerical work. Maybe field service is more suitable for me. I will apply for a job transfer after I return this time."

"But I must take care of this Matthew matter. Even Ronan has no reason to let a necromancer spread the forbidden ritual."

Fandral sighed and said:

"That's what the investigation team should do. We are only responsible for the onboarding assessment of new personnel. And how are you going to investigate?"

He just finished speaking.

A curious voice sounded:

"Are you here to investigate Matthew?"

"I have a problem to report."

The two looked at the tauren skeleton that suddenly appeared next to them in shock.

Alice's eyes lit up:

"You want to accuse your master?"

The tauren skeleton nodded vigorously:

"I have long been dissatisfied with him."

Alice asked expectantly:

"Did he do something heinous to you?"

"Oh, of course."

Tauren Skeleton complained:

"He hasn't given me a salary increase for many years! Can you report the problem to me and punish him severely - but not too harshly, as long as he can wake up in time and give me a salary increase?

That’s it.”

Alice was stunned for a moment.

Before the two of them could react.

Matthew had strode over from the direction of the living room.

"Hey, Matthew, are you planning to kill someone?"

Paige asked.

The two of them suddenly became extremely nervous.

Matthew scolded:

"Don't joke around in situations like this, Peggy!"

Immediately he said decisively to the two of them:

"I just forgot to add that the reason why I researched and prepared the ritual of the Scorched Earth of Death is to fight against the Mark of the Dead. It is located in the northeast of Rolling Stone Town. If you have done your homework before coming here, you should know this stuff."

Saying that, in order to prevent bloody misunderstandings.

He quickly explained what happened.

Fandal breathed a sigh of relief immediately after hearing this, and said with a smile:

"I knew this was a misunderstanding. How could Mr. Ronan recommend an outlaw?"

Alice still looked a little doubtful.

Matthew said generously:

"I can take you to the place where I prepare for the ceremony. It's not far from here."

Fandral waved his hand with a smile:

"No need, we believe you."

However, Alice insisted:

"Please take me over to have a look. I'm not targeting you. It's just that your statement is a bit fantastical. I have to witness it with my own eyes."

Fandral's face turned green and he wanted to continue to persuade Alice.

Matthew waved his hand:

"Come on, we're leaving now."

As he spoke, he grabbed a large handful of hay, took the three sheep, and walked leisurely toward the oak forest.

Along the way.

Alice walked alone with a stiff expression.

Matthew is still discussing funding applications with Vandal.

Faced with Matthew’s various doubts, Fandal enthusiastically explained:

"Although the Alliance has suspended the open subject of Mark of the Dead, in fact, if you are willing to study it and can come up with a feasible and feasible plan, the above will most likely allocate funds, and it is very likely that it will be done in accordance with the

S-grade ratings carry additional project subsidies.

With your level of excellence, Mr. Matthew, as long as you apply, there is a high probability that the project will be approved, and then there will be a fund for the project.

If you can pass the feasibility verification, subsequent funds will be available soon. Of course, this stage is not easy.

But once you succeed, you will gain huge rewards. In addition to abundant funds, you can also recruit some mage apprentices through this project, and they will work for you for free.

If your project is popular enough, they may even take the initiative to pay and ask to join the project.

After all, this kind of resume is very important for the job rating within the league."

While Fandral was talking to Matthew, he used a magic brush to write something down on the paper:

"In order to fight against the Mark of the Dead, Mr. Matthew did not hesitate to risk his own life to study forbidden rituals. This shows that he has a selfless spirit of sacrifice."

Alice glanced at the floating paper and subconsciously tightened her comments.

After a long time, he slowly relaxed.

…

A group of people passed by an oak forest.

Fandral couldn't help but praise:

"The air here is filled with a fragrant smell. I just saw a sign outside - Is this forest farm your private property?"

Matthew nodded.

Fandral exclaimed:

"You are really discerning in buying such a relaxing forest."

Even Alice couldn't help but say:

"The vitality of these oak trees is incredible. It is indeed a very nice forest."

Matthew thought to himself that these oak trees were almost draining the earth, could they not have enough vitality?

He didn't explain much at the moment, he just smiled and led the two of them through the woods and arrived near the Trace of the Dead in the northeast.

Once leaving the oak forest.
