A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1692: 461 Murder Evidence and Slaughter Feast

…

Angela showed a trace of nervousness.

She adjusted her breathing and said with some difficulty,

“This matter is of great importance, I’m afraid I can only post it anonymously.”

“To spread the news more widely might require more time…”

Matthew waved his hand,

“No problem.”

“No matter in what form, just get the message out for me.”

“I will give you a fee—cash, or knowledge points?”

Angela’s eyes widened,

“Are you willing to pay with knowledge points?”

Matthew just hummed softly.

Looking at the ecstatic Angela, Matthew could not help but reflect that knowledge points were indeed more precious than anything to the middle and lower-tier Alliance Wizards.

Right then,

he took out his spell license, swiftly transferring knowledge points over.

The transfer method he chose was anonymous.

Seeing the sudden increase in wealth on her spell license,

Angela’s breathing grew even more intense:

“Did you, did you overpay?”

“This amount of money could buy an entire alchemy workshop!”

Matthew smiled,

“Very good.”

“Then from now on, this alchemy workshop, along with you two, belongs to me.”

Angela did not object.

She just looked at Matthew cautiously,

“I still don’t know your name.”

Matthew casually waved his hand,

“You’ll find out my identity after this event is over.”

“Don’t worry, I was just joking with you, I don’t intend to take over your property.”

“But during this period, all resources in this workshop, including you and Taomini, and your network, must obey my orders, understood?”

Angela obediently nodded her head:

“Understood!”

Matthew then reviewed some intelligence documents and exchanged a few words with Angela before he planned to leave.

Before walking out the door,

he suddenly turned back and asked,

“By the way, what was Taomini talking about that meat-selling workshop?”

Angela’s cheeks turned red, but she honestly confessed,

“There was a time when the city had a shortage of supplies, especially meat.”

“My alchemy workshop was on the verge of bankruptcy, so to alleviate the situation, I used some alchemy appropriately to produce batches of meat, which I sold cheaply to the townspeople.”

“So, for a time, our alchemy workshop also sold a little meat…”

So it was literally selling meat.

Matthew found it amusing.

But he also felt a bit strange,

“Alchemy cannot defy the principle of equivalent exchange?”

“How did you create meat out of nothing?”

Angela coughed,

“Yes.”

“So, I had Taomini catch a lot of rats from the sewers…”

“After removing the bacteria and plague from them, I transformed that rat meat into duck meat, actually after the alchemical ritual, it was true clean duck meat, and tasted quite good too…”

“As long as the specific origins were unknown, the wealthy townspeople who bought the meat were quite happy eating it…”

Angela offered a pale justification.

Matthew remained silent for a long time before he softly dropped a comment,

“Don’t do this next time.”

Then he turned and left.

Angela watched as Matthew walked away and disappeared around the corner where a tall woman with a dignified demeanor approached him.

She couldn’t help but look again.

Only to meet those cold, icy eyes.

Angela shivered involuntarily.

She quickly shrank back and returned to the shop.

“Taomini, Taomini!”

She called loudly inside.

Not until the maiden reluctantly emerged from the lab, holding a bleeding owl in her arms,

did Angela seriously tell her,

“It seems we’ve stumbled upon a booming opportunity.”

“That Alliance Wizard who just left, his status is probably extraordinary!”

Taomini put down the owl, sat on a chair, and propped her chin with one hand,

“Did you sell our duck meat to him?”

Angela glared at her,

“Forget about that duck meat from the sewers!”

“I’m talking about serious matters!”

“Now, contact your unscrupulous friends, try to get a message out…”

“My sister, there aren’t many chances in a person’s life to meet a benefactor who can easily change their destiny, and that man who just left is likely one!”

“We need to do well what he has tasked us with!”

Taomini switched hands to prop her chin,

“So, as long as I can please that gentleman, can I continue to research the topic related to a virgin dragon?”

Angela couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

After a while,

she clenched her teeth,

“Yes.”

…

At noon,

Matthew and the Mother of the Black Dragons, Audacia, walked side by side through the streets of Order City.

This was the busiest commercial street in the city—

Truth Avenue.

Even though it was said that there was a slight decrease in pedestrian traffic due to the recent mass murders by the progeny of the God of Murder, Matthew still felt the crush of the crowd every time he crossed the street.

“This is much busier than Rolling Stone City.”

Matthew commented softly.

Truth Avenue was extremely wide, the central road section could accommodate eight carriages side by side, with pedestrian paths specifically on both sides.

Not far away,

namesake Elemental Lives were loyally on duty—

It was interesting to note.

Born from the Chaotic Ether, the elements were paradoxically innately fond of order, the majority of Elemental Lives ended up becoming champions of local stability, a trait most epitomized in Order City.

“The prosperity of Canning is only to be expected.”
