Chapter 107: I Had Already Guessed That You Were a Fellow Cultivator!
Lorraine replied casually.
Matthew looked at his casual appearance in the face of a powerful enemy and couldn’t help but feel curious.
At the end of the day.
Matthew managed to see Lorraine fight with a beast.
To Matthew’s surprise, the bard was not only good at playing the flute.
His close combat skills were also quite impressive.
In the afternoon, Matthew saw him take down a tiger with his bare hands!
The bard showed a kind of ease when he was attacked by the beasts. Even if he was surrounded, he could quickly find a breakthrough and pull away to protect himself.
The only thing that puzzled Matthew was…
Lorraine had never used a melee weapon. To be exact, he had never used any other weapon except for the light green flute!
This also led to him not killing a single ferocious beast.
At most, he would only be severely injured them.
‘Is this the principle of the wandering bard? No killing?’ Matthew complained in his heart.
Besides, he also noticed that Lorraine loved reading that booklet. He was always focused on it.
However, according to Matthew’s observation, the booklet was very thin. It looked like it had no more than ten pages. Lorraine had been reading it for the past few days. No matter how slow he was, she should have finished reading it, right?
But he did not.
He was still reading.
Matthew was even more curious.
Therefore, he took advantage of the moment when the ferocious beasts stopped and asked,
"Lorraine, I have two questions for you. Uh, if it’s a private matter and you don’t want to answer them, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
Lorraine was instantly interested.
"Oh? Matthew, after pretending to give me the cold shoulder for so many days, are you finally willing to admit that you’re interested in me?”
Matthew didn’t say anything.
Old Lucky coughed.
The two of them looked over. Old Lucky stood up with a pipe in his hand and said,
"I’ll go to the side. You guys chat.”
Although he said that, he did not walk far. He turned sideways to face the two of them, his ears slightly pricked up.
Matthew smiled.
"I’m very curious. You clearly had several chances to kill the ferocious beast in the afternoon, but you didn’t do so. Why?
"And that book in your hand, what is so interesting that it attracts you so much?”
Lorraine thought for a moment.
"These are indeed my two secrets, but if it’s Matthew who asked, it’s not impossible to tell you.
"But secrets between friends should be exchanged. I will ask you two questions later, and you must answer them truthfully.”
Without waiting for Matthew to agree, Lorraine said in embarrassment, “The reason why I don’t kill is not because I’m compassionate, but because I have a slight blood phobia.
"It’s not that serious, but it will still affect my concentration and thinking.
"When I saw the head of the plague envoy in Marsh Water City, I was completely stunned.
"To tell you the truth, seeing blood will only make my concentration drop slightly.
"However, if I were to kill a ferocious beast with my own hands and see the scene of blood splattering, I might directly faint!
"As for this booklet…
"It’s actually a priceless magical tool that can help me stay focused.” As he spoke, he generously handed over the booklet.
Matthew flipped it open and found that every page was a beautiful portrait!
The portraits were all of women with their upper bodies naked.
These women were either laughing or angry, and their expressions were different. They might not be very good-looking, but they had one thing in common-
They all had rather full breasts.
“Do you think this thing can maintain focus?”
Matthew couldn’t believe it.
However, in the next second.
[Hint: You have read Lorraine’s Book of Fullness, your Focus +1 (your spellcasting success rate has greatly increased)]
Matthew fell silent.
"This magic tool is quite special.”
He handed the booklet over.
Lorraine smiled gently and asked excitedly,
“Now, it’s my turn. First question, what’s the situation with that owl on your chest?”
Matthew replied readily,
“Her name is Ella. She’s not in good health at the moment and is recuperating.”
Unexpectedly, Lorraine’s eyes lit up.
“Her?”
Matthew looked at him in confusion.
"Are you two very close?” Lorraine’s eyes were filled with admiration.
Matthew thought for a moment.
"I guess so.” Lorraine slapped his thigh and praised, “I knew we were on the same path!
"You can even go down with owls. Not bad, Matthew. As expected of a Necromancer. This is amazing!” Matthew’s face darkened.
He was about to explain.
However, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened completely.
A piercing screech came from the distant horizon.
A black shadow flew across the sky.
The high ground was instantly ravaged by a strong wind!
At the same time.
Heavy footsteps could be heard from the depths of the rainforest, as well as the roar of a large number of trees falling!
From the west came the sound of the river washing.
Ella popped her little head out and exclaimed,
"Matthew, Matthew! I sensed that something terrifying had climbed ashore from the river over there!”
