Chapter 1 Outstanding Citizen Matthew and the Damn Necromancer

…

Gold Diggers Basin.

Rolling Stone Town.

spring.

A robin with blue feathers on its back and yellow down on its chest flapped its wings and flew from the lawn in front of the city hall.

Past several chimneys and patches of brick-red roofs.

It stopped deftly on an oak tree surrounded by many red and yellow walls.

There are insects crawling on the branches directly below.

The robin is about to pounce.

But suddenly.

A roar came from the translucent glass window behind it——

The insects quickly shook off the branches.

The birds also flew away in a hurry.

Only the five well-dressed humans behind the glass window on the second floor were still arguing.

…

"I disagree!"

Liz, a wealthy middle-aged woman, slapped away the wooden sign in front of her that was engraved with "Outstanding Citizen Selection", and then opened fire on the bald man in the front left:

"Howard is a complete gangster and a scumbag!

"He doesn't just like to hook up with married women.

She also likes to hook up with married men!

He always takes advantage of women to go shopping to find their men.

I have seen it dozens of times with my own eyes!

Dozens of times!!!”

The more Liz talked, the more excited she became, spraying saliva all over most of the table.

The four men sitting there couldn't help but shrink back.

"Calm down, Liz..."

The bald man spoke to comfort:

"This is just a nomination."

Liz's attitude was extremely determined:

"No nominations either! Howard is terrible!"

As she spoke, her slender eyes looked around, and suddenly she seemed to have discovered something:

"Is it possible that any of you have been swayed by him?"

The four men trembled and denied in unison:

"No!"

The bald man even tore up the recommendation letter in his hand:

"The committee voted unanimously to reject Howard Rhodes' nomination!"

Anyone who has worked at City Hall for more than a week knows the horror of Lizzie's mouth.

She is a walking gossip board.

If unfortunately she was included in the gossip, then everyone in the town would know about the rumor tomorrow morning.

We are all decent people here, and they cannot afford this kind of slander.

…

"So, the last candidate to be nominated - Mr. Matthew from the Master District, um, the last name is not specified.

He has settled in Rolling Stone Town for just over two and a half years, and meets the 'selection criteria for outstanding citizens';

During the day, he works as a history teacher at Silver Public School, and the students like him very much;

He also works part-time at the security office, and Captain Brad of the security office speaks highly of him;

According to the recommender's description, Mr. Matthew is kind-hearted, enthusiastic and generous. He does not have many friends in Rolling Stone Town and always keeps to himself. The reason for this is that he is too busy to make friends..."

The bald man didn't finish speaking.

A gentleman to Liz's left raised an objection:

"Mr. Chairman, those who live in isolation do not meet the criteria for selecting outstanding citizens."

The bald man nodded slightly:

"Don't worry, Richard.

The recommender said that our Mr. Matthew planted nearly 1,000 oak trees in Rolling Stone Town in two and a half years, which greatly greened the town's environment. Here, there is the oak tree outside the window and the one in front of the city hall.

All three trees are attributed to Mr. Matthew.

Plus the statement from Sheriff Brad.

The recommender believes that Mr. Matthew has made an indelible contribution to the security and environment of Rolling Stone Town and deserves to receive this year's Outstanding Citizen Award."

Everyone has finished listening.

They couldn't help but glance out the glass window.

"Was this tree planted just two years ago? Why do I feel like it has always been there..."

Richard, dressed as a gentleman, muttered.

"It seems, I have the impression... Matthew is a tall, thin, somewhat handsome, somewhat shy young man."

Liz showed a look of reminiscence.

"This is indeed an outstanding contribution."

Another man reminded:

"But being able to get along with other citizens is the most important criterion for selection."

The bald man nodded:

"This is usually true, but the owner of this letter of recommendation does not seem to often write anonymous letters. She accidentally attached her name at the end..."

Richard clapped his hands vigorously:

"Recommendation is illegal! Direct rejection! Well, there are still no outstanding citizens in Rolling Stone Town who can be nominated this year, just like the past three years!"

The rest of the people either shrugged or spread their hands, all acquiescing to this result.

But at this moment, the bald man said again:

"The signature is signed by Sif. Blood Flag."

Blood flag.

It is the surname of the lord of Rolling Stone.

Sif Blood Flag is the only daughter doted on by the lord of Rolling Stone Town.

The room was quiet for two or three seconds.

Even the pickiest Liz raised her hands:

"Skip the nomination process, I support Matthew to become a good citizen."

The rest of the people agreed one after another.

However, the bald man hadn't finished speaking yet.

He slowly pulled out an old piece of papyrus from the bottom of the pile of documents:

"There is one last question. This is the registration form that Matthew handed over to the city two years ago. It clearly states his origin and career as an adventurer...

I wonder if he wrote it wrong at the time.

According to my observation.

What he did in Rolling Stone over the years has nothing to do with, or even contradicts, his career as an adventurer.

But if what is registered on this paper is true.
