Chapter 841: Afternoon in Jiliu City
“But won’t anything happen to us if we suddenly appear here?”
she asked worriedly.
Matthew smiled.
” The registered wizard of Jiliu City was just a guest in my forest for a while. We won’t be troubled here.”
Sif immediately revealed a look of admiration.
However, she quickly retracted her gaze and looked at the Jade Court.
“Is that where Beanna learned to dance?
“I really envy her!
“It’s such a luxury for me to be able to go to the outside world.
“Ever since I could remember, my father never allowed me to be too far away from his sight. I have always obediently followed his orders. The only time I secretly went to the countryside to play was when I was kidnapped by the Evil Art Master. That time, you saved me. From then on, I didn’t dare to cause any more trouble.
“But this kind of life is really boring!”
As she spoke.
She placed her hands in front of her chest, her forearms against the wall, and her head resting on her forearms.
At this moment.
She seemed to have turned back into a child who yearned for freedom.
She looked at the Jade Court with longing in her eyes.
Seeing this scene.
Matthew fell silent.
Sif was really smart. She probably guessed the purpose of Matthew’s trip as soon as she saw him.
He was the lobbyist invited by Rheagar.
As soon as she said this.
Matthew’s prepared speech was blocked by half.
Thus, he could only improvise.
” Is this why you want to go to the northernmost floating city?”
Sif turned her head to the other side.
“Part of it,
” The other reason is that I wanted to learn spells too.”
Matthew reminded him,
” Your body contains power that is not inferior to spells.”
However, Sif said bluntly,
“But I hate it!
” I hate Nini. I hate every part of me that is related to the devil, just like how I hate Melinda.
“Matthew, can you understand this feeling?
“I don’t know when it started, but I often feel nauseous.
“At first, I didn’t understand the source of the nausea.
“But later, I figured it out.
“However, I felt even more hopeless.
“Because it came from my father and mother.”
Sif’s tone was very calm.
However, the content of her words contained an extremely angry emotional tension.
Matthew could feel that she was trying her best to control her anger.
“You might not know this, but not only do I hate Melinda’s selfishness, I also hate the devil bloodline that Rheagar gave me.
“I was actually furious from the bottom of my heart at the flaws my parents had left me in terms of both bloodline and spirit.
“This thought also made me feel ashamed.
“I often wondered if such rebellious thoughts were also because I inherited the devil’s bloodline or because of Melinda’s selfishness.
“I don’t know.
“I used to be able to suppress these absurd thoughts.
“However, ever since I awakened.
“I became more sensitive.
“I was no longer the little girl who could pretend to be innocent and nonchalant.
“I don’t want to hurt my father.
“However, he had taught me since I was young that everything about the devil had original sin.
“And now he’s telling me not to hate my demonic bloodline?
“How was this possible?
“I’ve always wanted to be a sensible girl, and that’s what I’ve always done.
“But this time, I really couldn’t control my impulse.
“I could feel my own existence being distorted.
“Sometimes, I don’t even understand the meaning of my existence.
“To put it in an extreme way.
“Then it was a mistake for me to be born.
“Fortunately, I’m not that extreme.
“So I was just a little sad and a little disgusted.
“In my father’s opinion, I just need to be coaxed.
“I think so too.
“However, things were not that simple.
“I want to find a path of self-reconciliation.
“Leaving Rolling Stone Town and heading to the northernmost floating city, stepping into the world of mages, was just such an attempt for me.
“Can you understand how I feel?”
Sif raised her head and reached out to slightly tidy her hair, which was messed up by the wind.
Her eyes were still bright but not as carefree as when they first met.
Matthew was silenced again.
He realized that he had thought too simply before he came.
If Sif hadn’t taken the initiative to speak.
He had no idea that the girl in front of him had so many thoughts hidden in her heart.
“After awakening?
“I wonder if it’s because of the stimulation of the Holy Grail of Sin or because of what happened to Melinda that day?”
Matthew thought carefully.
It was normal for a girl whose mother had not been by her side since she was young to have such a reaction.
He lowered his head slightly to Sif.
“I’m sorry, I thought too simply.”
Sif smiled and shook her head.
“It’s alright.
“But it’s not as simple as you think. It’s because you’ve never cared about me.
” Whether it’s me or Beanna, you’ve always treated us as little girls, but in fact, I’m not young anymore!”
As she spoke, she puffed out her chest.
Matthew felt the swelling curve and quickly looked away.
For a race like demons, was awakening equivalent to a second growth?
He was secretly surprised.
However, Sif did not intend to let Matthew off.
She took a step forward, and the girl’s fragrance stimulated Matthew’s nerves.
She questioned loudly,
“Matthew, do you not like women?
“Or perhaps you don’t like humans at all?”
Hearing this.
Matthew smiled instead.
“You don’t have to provoke me like this because my goal has always been clear.”
