Chapter 1153: Naga's Secret and the Shadow of the Far East
Yu Lian shook his head.
"The homeland I speak of is not the Eastern Continent.
" It's the Far East in the dream.
" Ever since I had memories, I often came to the land cursed by nightmares and shadows in my dreams.
" I saw people being tortured and whipped. I saw that they were as thin as bones, like ghosts. I saw those poor souls being bound to the earth, unable to be freed.
" I don't know why, but that land has a fatal attraction to me. I can hear the pulse and call of the earth, which is why I can be immune to the curse of the Sus in the sea.
" To be honest, at first, I just wanted to escape. Every night, I used alcohol, drugs, and women to numb myself. But as soon as I fell asleep, I would come to that land.
"You know about the Far East, right?
" It's in the eastern part of the Arctic of Aindor. After crossing the natural moat, the eastern and western continents meet on an endless ice field. There's a sky bridge hanging over the straits. On the other side of the bridge is the legendary Far East, the origin of the monks.
" I've never been to that land, but because of my many years of dreams, I'm extremely familiar with that land. Be it the grass and trees or those secret buildings and evil altars-
"The power of Babasha and Galan made the devastated land even more gloomy.
"But they were not the culprits.
"The Mother of the Abyss buried under that land, and the supreme devils she controlled were the source of destruction.
"I know I can't change the situation.
"But I can at least free some people from it.
"For example, the millions of wraiths trapped on the flaming sand dunes.
"They were all innocent members of the Su Clan who had died tragically thousands of years ago.
"My instincts told me that…
"They were the ones who summoned me.
"If I could successfully rescue them.
"Perhaps I can also be freed.
"For this, I must become stronger.
"As you can see, my aptitude is very ordinary. I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't easily grasp the power of the Equalization Envoy like you.
"Thus, I had no choice but to seek help from external forces.
"So one day, I met Delores, and then I slowly made it to where I am today.
"Therefore…
"Please spare her life."
Yu Lian's tone was very sincere.
When he reminisced about the Far East, the emotions that this greasy fatty revealed could not be faked.
Matthew stared at him for half a minute.
The latter's gaze was calm.
Hence, he nodded lightly.
"Sure.
"If one day you plan to go to the Far East to rescue those trapped wraiths, you can come to me.
" You'll get the help of a powerful undead army. If you're lucky, you'll even get a legendary necromancer."
In the next second.
Under Yu Lian's stunned gaze.
Matthew closed his domain.
" Wait, don't you want to know the relationship between the World Ending Twin Snakes and the curse of the Su Clan?"
Yu Lian could not help but ask.
Matthew smiled.
" I'm interested. If you want to tell me, I'm willing to listen."
Yu Lian sighed and said,
"It's Sandalwood King.
" He signed an agreement with Brook. The Su can cross the ocean safely, but the price is that their souls will return to the bottom of the sea after they die."
This was exactly what Matthew had guessed.
It could only be said that from his position back then, Sandalwood King had no choice.
And Matthew had clearly not grown to the point where he could directly find trouble with Brook.
Therefore, he didn't delve further into this topic and asked instead,
"How much money do you need next?
" You don't have to pretend in front of me. I know you want to unify the Gold Coast."
Yu Lian thought for a moment.
"I'm not too short of money. I'm very good at making money."
Matthew said calmly,
"No matter how good at making money, people sometimes lack money."
Yu Lian immediately smiled bitterly and said,
"Ten thousand gold coins?
" I will give you 15% of the profits of the future Gold Coast cities."
Matthew said in embarrassment, Stay tuned for updates on m-vl-em,pyr
" Isn't 10,000 gold coins too little?
"You're making it seem like I'm a stingy sugar daddy."
Yu Lian's smile was uglier than crying.
" No, no, no. 10,000 gold coins is actually a little too much. I just thought about it again. 1,000 gold coins are about right."
"Deal!"
Matthew shook hands with Yu Lian.
Then, he set up a teleportation tombstone in the side hall of the city lord's mansion.
"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you for nothing.
" Other than promising you to help me when you go to the Far East, you can ask me for help at any time.
"The first time can be free."
Matthew blinked.
Yu Lian heaved a sigh of relief.
" So, I've been recruited by the Seven Saint Alliance?"
Matthew smiled.
" Delores is right about one thing. I can't represent the Seven Saint Alliance.
"But this might not be a bad thing for you. You'll understand in the future.
"Alright, I have to go.
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to enlighten those devils, especially Delores. You'd better remind her.
"How many daughters did the Mother of all Laws have?
"How many good sisters did she have?
"I believe she is a reasonable girl.
"She would also become a very good dog.
"What do you think?"
After saying this, Matthew gestured for Peggy to show mercy, and the two of them left the city lord's mansion in a grand manner.
Only the half-dead Cerberus was left in the courtyard, trembling.
Yellow-brown juice and blood were mixed together and spread in all directions.
