…

This is really breaking news.

Matthew quickly put down the spoon, his eyes shining:

"No wonder I've never heard anything about the lord's wife, are there any more details?"

Paige shrugged:

"That's all I heard. After that conversation, the couple couldn't wait to start having sex. I thought they would continue chatting afterwards, so I hid under their bedroom window until dawn, but it turned out to be useless.

Waited all night!”

Matthew scooped another spoonful of soup for himself:

"What a pity."

Immediately.

He reminded seriously:

"Next time, don't squat until dawn. It's very dangerous. Your stealth skills are not enough to come and go freely at dawn."

Peggy nodded and said:

"What you said makes sense. I was almost hit by someone that day."

Matthew quickly asked:

"What happened next?"

Peggy said happily:

"Fortunately, the man of the house came back at dawn, and the house immediately became noisy. Everyone was attracted, so I took advantage of the chaos and ran out."

Man of the house?

Matthew was shocked:

"So the couple you heard talking to were having an affair?"

Paige crossed her arms:

"Otherwise why would I call them dogs and men?"

Matthew coughed:

"Which family is it?"

Peggy looked at him suspiciously:

"Why do you want to have an affair too?"

puff!

Matthew almost sprayed soup in her face.

"No, I'm just curious, so I can just ask."

He denied it flatly.

Paige crossed her legs:

…

"It's No. 27, White Narcissus Street in the Craftsman District. Their male owner is named Bliss. He is a down-to-earth shoemaker with a very good reputation;

The hostess's name is Jenny. She was once a maid in the lord's palace and served the former lord's wife. Jenny is not good-looking, but she has a really hot figure. I want to touch a few bones from her body.

As for the adulterer that night, I judged from the voice that he was a groom of Lord Blood Banner, and his name should be Dagan."

…

"The adulterer that night? Does that mean there are others?"

Matthew wiped his mouth with a napkin, inadvertently showing the sensitivity that only a druid has.

"Of course, Jenny is famous in the Craftsman District for being open to all comers, and she has more lovers than she can count on two hands."

Paige's legs are getting higher and higher:

"But if you want to know, I can also list the names of Jenny's lovers."

"Thank you, but no need."

Matthew was quite emotional:

"Peggy, it seems that even if you change your profession to work in intelligence, you can still become a supervisor."

Peggy suddenly became happy:

"Matthew, have you finally discovered my excellence?"

"Then when will you give me a salary increase?"

"I've already used up all the soul crystals from last month!"

Matthew stood up skillfully, inadvertently showing the indifference only a necromancer can have:

“Definitely next time!”

"Damn the Necromancer!"

In the restaurant.

The roar of the tauren skeleton could not subside for a long time.

…

Early next morning.

Matthew made a special trip to the police station again.

He compiled his guesses from last night on a piece of paper and handed them to Brad along with the secret letter.

The latter's expression became much more solemn after reading it.

When leaving the police station.

Matthew noticed that several members of the garrison were yawning, as if they had just returned from patrol duty. In the past, there were almost no night shifts in the security station.

"It seems that the Blood Banner Lord has strengthened the security duties near the town, but I don't know if the territorial roads, trading stations and border highway sentries have received the same level of attention."

Matthew didn't think too much about it.

He just did everything he could.

Let the Blood Banner Lord take care of the rest.

…

noon.

The breeze is gentle.

Matthew stood on the hillside on the southwest side of the oak forest to select a site for the next work.

Master Ronan's land has been completely covered by oak forests.

If Matthew wants to expand his planting area, he has to get involved in other people's land.

He looked into the distance.

The map around the oak forest was sketched in his mind:

…

To the southwest is Rolling Stone, which doesn't have much room for expansion;

…

In the southeast are some large and small farms. Most of the crops in Rolling Stone Town grow here. Most of the land here has been purchased by farmers. There is also not much room for oak tree planting;

…

To the northeast is an ownerless wasteland, but there is a "Scar of the Dead" blocking it. Farther away are barren mountains and Hagba Castle, which are unlucky no matter how you look at them;

Only the land in the northwest is most suitable.

But that is the private land of the Blood Banner Lord. If Matthew wants to plant trees on it, he must at least seek permission from the city hall.

"Lord Blood Banner shouldn't reject me because of prejudice, right?"

Matthew was a little embarrassed.

Archmage Ronan had reminded him long ago that Lord Blood Banner was a very good person, but he only hated the Necromancer.

Yesterday he got another reason from Paige.
