Chapter 60: I’m With Him!

“This weapon is very special.”
Matthew could feel a cold power contained in it.
It was different from the negative energy that was destructive and violent. It was more like a power that went straight to the soul.
For ordinary people, it might just be a prop that could be used to dispel the undead.
However, in the hands of a necromancer with many summons, it would have a chance to shine even more brilliantly.
‘ Of course, the previous owner of this weapon, Ursul, was a bad-tempered necromancer. Her reputation was once known by everyone in the Great Swamp. People said that the undead under her command had all kinds of incredible abilities. At first, I thought that this was because of her brilliant magic, but later I found out that this was the real reason.”
Old Fallon sighed and said,
“When she died, she entrusted me to find a good owner for this weapon. However, a few years later, the incident with Rheagar happened, and I sealed this whip.”
Matthew was stunned.
“You and the previous owner of this whip also had a good time together? A female necromancer?”
Old Fallon raised his eyebrows. “Do I look like a person who’d sleep around?”
Matthew hurriedly shook his head.
‘ Ursul and I are just good friends. Of course, she might have had some interest in me when she was young, but at that time, my standards were still high. All I was interested in were princesses from a small country or some rich ladies. I would rather waste money on a succubus than look at a wizened necromancer.
But the facts proved that I was wrong.”
At this point, Old Fallon laughed at himself.” After returning from purgatory, my looks were ruined. Those superficial women left me one after another. Only Ursul took the initiative to find me. She spent a lot of effort to treat the wound on my face, and then one day, she left quietly.”
Matthew was puzzled.
“What happened later?”
“Later? There was no later. Child, when you were young, you believed that there would always be time and that those who missed out would always have a chance to meet again. However, in reality, most stories end up with regret.” Old Fallon’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
“At that time, I was busy dealing with the wounded soldiers. Later on, I encountered the mining expansion in Rolling Stone Town…By the time I could finally free myself from my work, Ursul had already lost her mind due to an experimental error that caused the negative energy to corrode her brain. She was no longer herself. When I came to look for her, she couldn’t even recognize me.
“I went to the swamp where she lived twice. The first time, she chased me out. The second time, she was a lot clearer in her mind. Before she died, she left everything else to the two apprentices, who were often beaten and scolded by her, except for this whip.
” At first, I thought she wanted to whip me. Later, I realized that this whip was a magical tool that she had spent her entire life creating. It contained all her understanding of the Summoning of the Undead. She probably thought that the two untalented apprentices were not enough to display its value, so she entrusted me to find a good home for it.”
Old Fallon said all this in one breath.
His gaze lingered on the whip for a few seconds, then he looked away and said in a congratulatory tone, “Now, it’s yours. ”
Matthew took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the whip.
“I won’t let it down.” Old Fallon nodded.
“I believe you.”
The two of them were silent for a while.
Soldier, who was beside him, watched as Matthew put away Ursul’s Reprimand. The envy in his soul fire almost materialized and jumped out.
Seeing this, Matthew could only sigh.
” As for the Firefly and the Bright Moon, I think I can only choose to rent them.”
Compared to buying, renting was undoubtedly the more expensive option.
But Matthew had no choice.
The cash flow on hand was not enough to support a one- time purchase.
And now the storm is coming.
He really needed these two short knives to increase Soldier’s combat strength. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only use the title deed that he had just obtained as collateral.
After a series of procedures.
Matthew walked out of the Veterans building tiredly.
Behind him.
Soldier was wearing the Dark Night Cloak, and his soul flames were flickering.
Old Fallon also smiled.
“If you need other weapons, you are welcome to look for me. My arsenal contains sharp weapons from all over the world, so I don’t think you will be disappointed.”
Matthew smiled bitterly and did not reply.
Old Fallon suddenly said,
“Oh right, if you can find a better way to cure or alleviate the venom of the viper, I can give you this pair of short knives directly. I can even give you another high-quality weapon.”
Viper venom?
Matthew recalled the group of veterans who were smoking and moaning in the rooms on the second floor.
Then he nodded his head vigorously.
“I’ll try.”
He left the Veterans Building.
Matthew deliberately went to the shop in the craftsman’s area again.
He bought ten sturdy shovels.
Then, he walked briskly back to the oak forest and began his tree-planting journey.
In the evening.
His planting quota for the day was completed as scheduled.
After a simple dinner, he started meditating and learning spells.
Unknowingly.
The moon was already hanging on the branches.
In the wooden house.
Matthew stretched his back, picked up the sack with the shovel, and walked out to the open space.
He walked all the way to the Zombie Dormitory, summoned the five
Silvermoon Zombies, and dropped shovels in front of them..
