And the cost of purchasing seeds and green liquid.

Ronan plans to fund half of it.

Matthew was flattered.

But he still declined Ronan's kindness.

He plans to buy the seeds on his own.

Ronan didn't take it seriously either.

He wrote a letter of recommendation on the spot, allowing Matthew to go to Silver School to teach the aristocratic children in the town, and Matthew could choose the subjects himself.

thereafter.

Ronan also gave Matthew a certain amount of help in all aspects of life, work, and tree planting.

Even the house Matthew lives in now was provided by Ronan.

Matthew found out later.

Half of the houses in the mage area belong to Ronan.

The remaining half belongs to his wife.

Rolling Stone Town is Ronan's hometown.

Although he spends more time living in Gem Bay.

But there have been no natural or man-made disasters in Rolling Stone Town for many years, which has a lot to do with him.

…

For Master Ronan.

Matthew is always grateful.

But he also knew very well the reason why the other party helped him.

It's impossible to hug your thighs blindly.

You still have to rely on your own strength to truly grow.

Just think of this.

Matthew focused his attention.

Begin to study spells with full concentration.

…

The next day during the day.

Matthew walked out of the police station, followed by two guardsmen, who carried the merchant's body to the oak forest.

Matthew skillfully dug a hole and buried him, thus fulfilling the ghost's wish.

certainly.

All have come.

Matthew didn't forget to plant three oak trees.

30 XP points are credited to your account.

Matthew was satisfied.

…

afternoon.

Brad moved quickly.

he told Matthew.

The underground caves have been investigated.

No other clues were found.

There are seven or eight deep tunnels connected under that cave, which can lead to almost anywhere in the Gold Prospector Basin. No matter how powerful the tracking expert is, he can only scratch his head when encountering this situation.

This is consistent with Matthew's judgment.

It also proved that he was right in not pursuing recklessly on his own.

As for the area around the "Ghost Castle" mentioned by the ghost.

Since that place has been in decline for many years and is far away in the mountains, it is highly dangerous, so Brad is still mobilizing manpower.

He promised Matthew that he would be informed as soon as possible if there were any new discoveries.

…

One night a week later.

In the basement.

“Vs’Boo…”

A short spell sounded.

Matthew's body was suddenly covered with a layer of translucent armor that looked very thick!

…

"Your spell 'Garcia's Armor II' was successfully cast!

Your armor +8

Duration: 180 seconds"

…

Success!

Feel the soft Q-elasticity and ubiquitous wrapping feeling.

Matthew was very intoxicated.

It felt like being wrapped in a giant piece of jelly.

not heavy.

But it's very defensive.

"According to "Turtle Shell Mage", the biggest feature of Garcia's armor is that it can be superimposed on each other. I and II can provide 3 and 8 points of armor respectively, which together are higher than ordinary heavy armor!"

"As expected of Master Turtle Shell, I like him!"

Matthew was just about to continue exploring the technique of superimposing two spells.

Suddenly.

An illusion appeared before his eyes.

at that moment.

He seemed to see a corner of the oak forest!

The illusion is fleeting.

Immediately, a wave of warmth surged into Matthew's heart.

Suddenly there was some more knowledge in his mind!

…

"Your ability 'Nature's Gift' is taking effect..."

You gained new abilities ‘Valuation’ and ‘Accounting’

Valuation: You can accurately estimate the value and price of most goods circulating in Rapids.

Accountant: You have mastered certain financial knowledge and are qualified for basic accounting positions."

…

Valuation?

Accounting?

Matthew looked confused.

"Is this also a gift from nature?"

He muttered to himself.

Just at this moment.

Matthew suddenly remembered.

The corner of the oak forest that I had just glimpsed seemed to be the place where I buried the merchant's body!

"I buried the body, and nature gave me part of its power?"
