Chapter 63: Calamity Mage
Translator: Lonelytree
As he had been living in a wooden house outside the city recently, and people would visit him from time to time, Matthew decided to set Mondays and Tuesdays as his rest days every week.
He would return home to live in the next two days and deal with some matters related to him in the town.
However, he did not expect this.
The number of visitors on his first rest day had already exceeded five.
Fortunately, the living room was big enough.
After the initial reception, Matthew went over one by one and asked why they were here.
Sif was there for a class. The value of a super version of the Magic Bag was obviously not something that could be offset by a hasty history class. In fact, Matthew was already mentally prepared to give her a private lesson for half a year.
Rheagar’s reason for being there was more interesting.
Matthew guessed that the father and daughter had been arguing at home already. In the end, Rheagar promised Sif to come to Matthew’s place every Monday for tuition, but the condition was that he had to follow along.
Matthew did not have any objections to this. After all, when it came to lectures, it didn’t matter how many students there were.
As long as Rheagar didn’t get in his way, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Among the other visitors.
Blake had come to ask Matthew if he needed help with the guarding of the oak forest. He knew that Matthew had been staying in the oak forest recently, and he happened to receive an order to increase patrols, so he came to ask Matthew if he needed the help of the garrison.
Zeller and Richard’s visit was obviously related to the ” Ritual of Plunder ” that Matthew recalled.
As for Samantha.
She brought the information about the Su country as promised.
In the living room.
Matthew’s brain spun rapidly.
He was preparing to arrange the reception according to the priority of the matter.
At this moment.
Sif stood up obediently.
“Matthew, since you have so many guests, I’ll go to the kitchen with Peggy first.”
As she spoke.
She decided to drag the confused Rheagar to the kitchen.
But at this moment,
Zeller, who had been smiling, said,
“I took a look around outside. There’s actually nothing particularly urgent for Matthew, right? I heard from Sif that she’s here for your lessons. I’ve long been interested in Mr Matthew’s history class. If you don’t mind, you can teach Sif first while we listen from the side. Isn’t this a very novel experience?”
It was unknown if it was due to his high charm.
Zeller’s words received unanimous approval from the others.
“Yes, yes. I’ve long heard that Matthew’s class is very popular, but I haven’t had the chance to attend it.”
Blake scratched his beard, his face filled with interest.
Richard elegantly put his cane aside.
“Sure, I have no objections.”
Rhaegar was originally there to accompany the lecture, so he naturally wouldn’t say anything.
Samantha was the only one left.
Matthew looked at her questioningly.
The latter smiled sweetly.
‘ My knowledge of history is almost zero. If you don’t mind, I’d like to sit down and listen too.”
Thus, the slightly disturbed living room quickly quieted down.
Everyone looked at Matthew curiously.
Matthew wasn’t afraid.
He treated the living room as a school and the adults in front of him as children.
He took out the thick history book that he had prepared for Sif.
Just as he was about to open the book and begin his lecture.
At this moment.
A faint voice came from the kitchen.
“Matthew, remember to make it exciting. The first lesson can be free, but the lessons after this will not be free.” Matthew smiled helplessly.
He cleared his throat.
‘ Last time, I told Sif about the historical event of the ‘Hundred City Division.’
This event is actually familiar to everyone. It means that the influence of the Alliance of Seven Saints on the city-states across the continent has reached an unprecedented peak.
“Its effect was objective.
“After the division, every major city on the continent had at least one mage from the Seven Saint Alliance. These mages had made indelible contributions to the development and construction of their respective cities.
“Even after a hundred years, people would never forget the contributions of that batch of mages.
“Of course, the subsequent development of the Hundred Cities Division didn’t follow the Seven Saint Alliance’s plan. In the actual implementation of the plan, many flaws appeared, so much so that there were several disputes within the alliance over whether to continue the strategy or not.
“From the perspective of hindsight, this plan was actually a failure.
“Hundreds of years after the gods had left, the largest human organization in Aindor was still the loose “Seven Saint Alliance”, which was essentially a mage organization!
“The Human Kingdom is just a name that the Seven Saint Alliance has created. In fact, we all know that no human force on this continent is qualified to be called a ” Kingdom “.
“We have towns, cities, manor owners, and lords, but we don’t have a kingdom or a king. “And all of this was thanks to the gods.”
At this point.
Matthew paused for a moment and took a sip of water while observing everyone’s reaction.
There were six audiences present.
Half of them were confused. They were Sif, Blake, and Samantha.
The remaining three revealed thoughtful expressions.
“Isn’t this what it should be like? Isn’t this a good thing?” Under Matthew’s encouraging gaze, Samantha boldly asked..
