Chapter 609: Melinda ‘s Warning, A Friend ‘s Wife?
If it weren’t for the way of the Sword Saint that allowed her to maintain her rationality, with the Orc’s physique, she would have most likely gone berserk by now.
Matthew narrowed his eyes.
He stretched out a hand and used his arm to stop Clegg. It was for her to calm down.
Melinda didn’t seem to want the situation to worsen.
She waved her hand and asked the construct undead to retreat.
The latter retreated and said mockingly,
“Melinda, you care too much about the feelings of mortals. It would be much simpler if you followed my method.
“Shut up, Hughes!” Melinda berated.
“Hughes?
“Are you the necromancer from that night?”
This was the first time Rheagar spoke after seeing Melinda.
His gaze was fixed on the Construct Undead.
The latter laughed coldly.
“I’m a noble space undead, an existence that mortals like you can’t understand. “I can summon dead souls, but I’m not a necromancer in the secular sense.
“But it was me that night.
“A useless person like you should have been abandoned long ago.
“In order to pursue the true meaning of life and the truth of the universe, Melinda made the right choice by joining us.”
Rheagar clenched his fists tightly.
“Enough, Hughes. If you say one more word tonight, I’ll have Angus send you to the Astral World to mine!”
Melinda berated softly.
Hughes shrugged and silently retreated to the back.
Rheagar unclenched his fist and looked at Melinda angrily.
Melinda’s attitude softened.
“I just wanted to see my Sif.
“I know I owe her a lot, but I’m still qualified to attend her coming-of-age ceremony, right?
‘ After all, I am her mother. This is a fact that no one can erase.”
As she spoke.
She looked at Sif gently.
Sif quickly lowered her head. Her shoulders were trembling slightly, but she didn’t say anything.
In the next second.
She held onto Rheagar’s arm tightly.
Tears were glistening in her eyes.
The atmosphere became even more silent.
Clegg’s eyes were red as she stared at the Construct Undead Hughes.
Matthew patted her arm and said softly,
“Please believe me.”
Clegg nodded heavily and silently retreated into the crowd.
“Listen, Rhaegar, there’s no need for us to be so hostile.”
Melinda’s tone became very gentle.
‘ Although there are many unpleasantness between us, I am Sif’s mother, and you are her father. Today is Sif’s coming-of-age ceremony, so we should both take a step back.
‘ You know I can’t be a spy. On the contrary, I’m here to give you advice!
It is of great significance to the fate of Rolling Stone Town. I hope we can sit down and talk like a family, okay?”
Rheagar looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression.
She still looked the same as she did in the past.
Her eyes were as gentle as before.
However, a slight stinging sensation on his arm brought him back to his senses.
He could feel the mocking and worried gazes of the guests.
Then, he said calmly,
“First of all, we are no longer a family.
Secondly, for Sif’s sake, I’m willing to talk to you.” As he spoke.
He led Sif and Melinda to a small room next to the venue.
The Construct undead also wanted to follow.
In the end, Lumiere stopped him.
A moment later.
The music started.
The guests dispersed.
On the surface, everyone returned to their normal state.
But in reality.
The gazes that were cast towards the room next door all revealed the thoughts in the depths of everyone’s hearts.
Zeller asked Blake and the others to maintain the law and order at the scene.
Zeller winked at Matthew.
The two of them quickly left the scene and walked in another direction.
After a few turns.
The noise gradually faded away.
The two of them arrived at a small, dark room.
This was the place where Zeller had used to monitor the entire ball.
He was waiting for him to take out a huge crystal ball from the cabinet beside him.
After the activation of the magic tool was completed.
Pure white light burst out from the crystal ball.
Gradually.
A clear picture was presented.
Matthew could hear all their conversations!
In a hidden room.
The atmosphere was cold at first.
Sif hid behind Rheagar like an injured kitten.
Rheagar’s state did not look too natural. His body was tense, and his body movements were somewhat stiff.
Of the three, only Melinda looked the most relaxed.
She reached out and touched Sif’s forehead and bangs lovingly.
The latter lowered her head even further.
Rheagar frowned but did not stop her.
“What advice are you talking about?” he asked.
Melinda sized Sif up and said to Rheagar in a very casual tone,
“Everyone in Escana knows about your portal.
“Both the Suki Kingdom and the Bru Alliance wanted to take it for themselves.
“Other than that.
“There were still many people who coveted the portal and Rolling Stone Town.
“Before the Mystery of Civilization was removed by the gods, the plane barrier was still very thick, which was why Rolling Stone Town had been peaceful for the past decade.
“However, the times are different now.
“Why do you think the gods want to remove the lock of civilization?
“They had only one goal from the beginning to the end.
“That is to return to this land!”
Rheagar frowned..
