Chapter 508: New Mission: Animal Talk
"The situation in Bigfoot City is not something that you and I can interfere with. Even if we call Rheagar and the others, they don't have the strength to do so."
Little Patton nodded.
" I know what you mean, but maybe I can join Storluk Industries?
" Other than that huge heart, they must have other advanced technologies. Aren't you interested in those technologies?"
Matthew shook his head firmly.
" I'm interested, but the outer plane is still too dangerous. I advise you to give up on this idea. I don't want to lose Rheagar's nephew."
However, Little Patton did not listen at all.
His eyes lit up as he said,
"I'm not afraid of danger. Leave this matter to me.
"Really, Matthew.
"I haven't accomplished anything in my life, but I suddenly have a strong desire and premonition about this matter.
"I think I can join Storluk Industries-take the form of a minotaur-and maybe I can become their top executive.
"At that time, I won't just be stealing some sulfur. I might be able to steal their entire factory back.
"Can you trust me for once?
"You just need to give me some potions that last longer and have better effects.
"After all, it's quite embarrassing to be exposed on the spot."
Matthew looked at him deeply.
"Don't put me in a difficult position, Patton.
" You're here to take charge of the sulfur mine, not to join an unfamiliar force in another dimension to be a spy. You've never received any relevant training, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself. You're just courting death.
"I won't allow you to do that."
The light in Patton's eyes quickly extinguished. Soon, he begged,
"A week, can you give me a week?
"If I don't do anything within a week, I'll obediently come back and continue to work as a supervisor in your mine.
" I really just want to do what I can. The Storluk industry isn't as dangerous as it looks, right? The demons have all drunk the potion and don't like to fight anymore. Any problem that can be solved with my brain and mouth has never been a problem for me."
Matthew was a little annoyed by his words.
If something happened to Patton under his command, he would not be able to explain it to Rheagar.
However, this guy's eyes were filled with hope.
Matthew was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked,
"Why do you know the Minotaur language?"
Patton replied casually,
"I've read many, many books. There happened to be a complete book on the language of the Abyssal Race in Rheagar's library, so I learned it in two days. It's very simple, isn't it?
"Not only the Minotaurs, I know a little bit of almost every race's language. I originally planned to use this skill to sleep with a few other race girls. However, after I learned all the languages, I realized that if I only lived in Rolling Stone Town, I would never meet women of other races."
At this point.
He sighed heavily.
Matthew looked at him suspiciously.
"Are you insisting on going back because you want to sleep with the female Minotaur?"
Little Patton thought for a moment.
"If possible, I might as well give it a try."
Matthew immediately poured cold water on him.
"No matter how realistic the Shapeshifting Potion is, it can't provide that kind of effect.
"And if you turn into a human, I'm afraid the offensive and defensive power between the two of you will change."
Little Patton immediately shivered.
"By the way, you said that Rheagar has a library? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Matthew asked curiously.
Little Patton pondered and said,
"Maybe he's too embarrassed to say it?
"Or maybe you didn't ask.
"At first, Rheagar was particularly interested in the library. He bought a lot of books and stuffed them inside, saying that he wanted to fill the hall of the soul with knowledge.
"However, he basically did not read the books he bought.
"I asked him about it.
"He answered me with two sentences. The first sentence was,'I've already bought the book; why should I read it?'
"The second sentence was, 'If you like to read, then read to your heart's content.'
"So, for the past few years, I lived in his library every day except for eating and sleeping.
"I've read every single book Rheagar has.
"Then, one day.
"He came to the library on a whim and found me reading a book about taxation. He asked me a few questions that I thought were especially stupid, and I answered them on the spot.
"The next day, I was told that I had become the tax officer of Rolling Stone Town."
Little Patton's eyes were very bright as he described this.
It reminded Matthew of Sif.
"Are you determined to go to Storluk Industries to prove that you're better than Blake?" he asked softly.
Little Patton was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"I have no intention of comparing myself with anyone.
"It's just that it's rare for me to encounter something I'm interested in, so I want to give it a try."
Matthew crossed his hands and rested them under his chin. His eyes were unpredictable.
" Three days. I'll only give you three days at most. You have to come back every day to report that you're safe."
Matthew finally relented.
"If you don't do anything in three days, please come back immediately. I'll block the space-time rift here as soon as possible. Don't cause me any trouble.
" Also, don't be in a hurry. You can go over tomorrow morning."
Little Patton was instantly ecstatic.
"Then I'll stay in your cemetery tonight!
"Um, is there a place for me to sleep here?"
..
Early the next morning.
Matthew hurried to the crucible house and submitted the report on what he saw in Bigfoot City through the A1 channel to the " Silver Council ", which was responsible for the daily affairs of the Alliance.
Actually, he wanted to contact Isabelle directly.
However, Isabelle had no desire to see him recently.
Several times, the messages sent through the communication crystal were like stones sinking into the ocean.
This made Matthew feel a sense of loss.
After submitting the report.
He went to the Alliance Store and bought two Escape Scrolls, two Random Teleportation Scrolls, a Gravity Rope, and a set of Strong Minatour Transformation Potions.
This debt was owed to Little Patton.
After handing these things to Little Patton to equip.
Matthew sent him through the space-time rift again.
During the day after that.
Matthew began to fiddle with the " Giant Tree Amber ", which was an important material to fill the dimensional rift.
Until noon.
When he successfully brewed the base of the first pot of Giant Tree Amber.
He suddenly remembered that the oak tree today had not yet grown.
So he decisively picked up the shovel and sapling bag and headed towards the northern wasteland.
Along the way, he met the grouse again.
However, this timeā¦
The latter suddenly appeared from behind a tree.
The two sides were caught off guard and bumped into each other.
The grouse was obviously shocked.
It glared at Matthew unkindly. Suddenly, Matthew heard a slender voice.
"Who are you?
"You're walking so fast while carrying a shovel!
"That was so scary!"
Matthew looked at him with his mouth agape.
The latter puffed out his chest without showing any weakness.
"What are you looking at?
"You can't understand me, and humans are idiots!
"Idiot, idiot, idiot!"
Matthew looked at the mission panel excitedly.
It was a long-awaited mission.
It was updated!

..
Matthew's eyes focused on the grouse again.
He smiled and said,
" Hello, Mr. Grouse."
In the next second.
The grouse's eyes widened.
