…

What?

Rhaegar was captured?

Matthew was instinctively surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible.

He quickly checked the vision and found that there were few relevant images. The only information contained did not include Rhaegar's face. They were all statements made by the Bru tribe and the Blood Banner Kingdom.

But the ability of world events is similar to Roland's ability to catch wind and shadow.

It is impossible for it to generate such a message for no reason.

Rhaegar must have run into trouble on his way to Purgatory.

Matthew walked back and forth a few steps and left the cemetery without hesitation, intending to go to town to discuss with Zeller.

Sif was placed in the cemetery quite safely.

Currently, the two safest places in Rolling Stone are Matthew's Oak Grove and Cemetery.

Both of these ceremonial grounds mobilized the power of his own domain, and were guarded by Obest and Argus respectively.

These two individuals are very strong. In a home game, if you want to defeat them quickly, you will need at least a five-level team of four.

This configuration is rare in the entire South.

So Matthew felt relieved when he left.

When he arrived at the Lord's Mansion, it was already dark.

Matthew wanted to go to Zeller's room to find him, but he didn't expect to see some firelights in the office hall from a distance.

He came to the corridor.

I heard a cough from a distance, and when I got closer I realized that Zeller was still working in the office!

"I thought you should have rested long ago."

Matthew did not cover up the sound of his footsteps and knocked on the door.

Zeller looked up at him and showed a charming smile:

"Learn from your mage."

"I heard that the most diligent mages will use spells to deprive themselves of sleep in order to ensure that they can absorb knowledge 24 hours a day."

"The next best thing is to compress their sleep time to two to four hours a day."

Matthew walked in and said helplessly:

"It seems that I have lowered the average diligence level of mages."

Zeller smiled:

"Necromancers are originally regarded as aliens among mages. Speaking of which, have you ever considered transforming yourself into a lich in the future? I heard that this is the ultimate dream of many necromancers."

Matthew shook his head:

"To me, the lich is a last resort choice. Obtaining eternal life through this method is somewhat self-deceptive. In the end, it failed to override death and is still a slave of death."

He came to the desk, looked at the thick stack of documents, and frowned:

"You have too many things to deal with, right?"

"Where's the Committee of Five?"

"Shouldn't a lot of things be left to them?"

Zeller placed the quill on the shelf next to him, rubbed his face with both hands, and sighed helplessly:

“The number of refugees is too great, and targeted measures need to be continuously introduced.

The war between High Leaf Collar and Red Earth Mountain is expected to produce more refugees.

The current town of Rolling Stone is like a raised plateau in the surrounding territory that has been mired in war.

Many civilians fled here with their families.

If it weren't for the legend of man-eating trees and zombies, there would be a large number of refugees around your oak forest.

This problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause greater disaster."

"The five-member committee can only deal with daily government affairs. As the current situation has developed, many pieces of information are related to each other. I don't want Rolling Stone to always find out later, so it is inevitable that we must be more diligent."

Matthew said with admiration:

"You are the most unlikeable warlock I have ever seen."

Zeller took a sip of ginger water:

"It sounds like you have seen many warlocks."

"People always have a stereotype about warlocks. They naturally think that all warlocks are frivolous and uninhibited, just like necromancers who always like to steal corpses."

Matthew smiled:

"Some of my colleagues do like to steal corpses, but that is a helpless act. After all, magic materials such as humans are still too expensive."

"But you are right. I am just surprised that your talent and ability in handling government affairs have nothing to do with the profession of warlock."

Zeller said calmly:

"No one is born to do these tedious tasks."

"But Rhaegar needs such a person by his side."

Rhaegar needed it.

Are you on board?

Matthew's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask:

"He saved your life?"

Zeller said unabashedly:

"More than once."

Night always seems to make people open their hearts.

The two looked at each other across the desk, with candles flickering on both sides.

Matthew could see the flash of reminiscence in Zeller's eyes:

"I lived in darkness when I was young.

It's hard to describe that environment in words.

It was like a pitch black darkness, and the surrounding air plates had formed into hard metal.

You can't move, you can't breathe, and it's hard to even blink.

To this day, it is difficult for me to recall the details of that time.

I only remember the day I met Rhaegar.

I seemed to have encountered a ray of light."

At this point, he fell silent, seeming to be completely lost in memories.

Matthew said nothing and waited until Zeller's attention returned to reality before he slowly said:

"It's unimaginable."

"In fact, for a long time, Rhaegar gave me the same feeling as one of my artificer friends - she and I agreed that he was responsible for the fun in the crowd."

Zeller smiled softly:

"That was now. He was not like this before. Young Rhaegar was much more reckless and had many bad habits, but he was always lovable."

"Think about it carefully, have you ever hated Rhaegar?"

Matthew thought about it:

"It seems that I never disliked him from the beginning to the end."

Zeller asked again:

"Then do you like Rhaegar?"

Matthew reluctantly said:

"Okay."

Zeller smiled and said:

"That's right. Although he has problems like this, everyone loves Rhaegar. This is his charm."

Matthew blinked:

"But our beloved charmer may be in trouble."

With that, he told the whole story of why he suddenly visited.
