The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2040 Doubts

Matthew was a little surprised by what Giraud said.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Ji Luo in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the other's eyes to see his true thoughts.

After a few breaths, Matthew looked at Ji Luo and opened his lips, and whispered: "This place is full of dangers and is extremely dangerous. Moreover, so many monsters have died, and you are the only one who survived and returned to the camp. This will inevitably arouse suspicion and doubt from others!"

Hearing Matthew's words, Ji Luo nodded slightly to show his agreement, but then shook his head and responded: "Your suggestion is certainly good, but my mission this time is to bring you back safely. So for now, we should turn back first. As for other matters, it will not be too late to make a decision after you report the intelligence you have obtained to your superiors truthfully."

After saying this, Matthew stopped talking to Giraud.

Giraud's suggestions are certainly desirable, but the key issues remain.

Giraud is not someone Matthew can control, so Matthew has no right to make a decision on this matter.

Even if Ji Luo wanted to stay in this land, he had to wait until he returned and discuss with the clan leader and elders before making a decision.

After all, Matthew is just an outsider. How can he take on such an important decision-making responsibility for the Mangcang tribe?

When Giraud saw that Matthew rejected his proposal without hesitation, he did not insist on it.

In fact, what he said just now was just a sudden inspiration, and he had not thought deeply about the many complex and subtle interests involved.

Just as Matthew said, so many monsters here have died, and only one monster in the God Transformation Stage managed to escape.

If he returned to the demon camp unscathed, the demons would surely become suspicious.

At that time, it is very likely that he will be interrogated using some mysterious magical means.

As a result, the important mission that he had painstakingly planned for a long time and aimed to carry out secretly would fail.

When Giraud calmed down and began to think carefully about the various situations he might face when he returned, a deep fear quickly spread from his spine like a cold tide.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the feeling of fear lingered in his mind like a shadow.

Although Matthew did not express his words very directly, the deep meaning contained in them was already very obvious.

With Giraud's intelligence, he could naturally understand what Matthew wanted to express.

Sure enough, when Matthew saw the change in Giraud's expression, he knew that Giraud must have thought it through.

In this case, Matthew felt that there was no need for him to continue paying attention to Giraud's situation.

Matthew quickly made hand gestures with his hands, and as mysterious and complex runes flashed in the air, a dazzling purple light shield instantly appeared around Jiro's body.

Immediately afterwards, Matthew's voice suddenly came from the light shield emitting mysterious light.

The sound seemed to come from the distant sky, yet it was clearly audible as if it was right next to them.

"You've worked so hard during this period. You should take a good rest here first. I will release you after we return to Spirit Island safely."

Although Matthew's words sounded calm and kind, there seemed to be a hint of indescribable weirdness in them.

When Giraud heard these words, he felt a very strange and unusual feeling.

For some reason, Matthew's voice sounded so strange at this moment, as if it was covered by a veil.

Although Matthew's voice sounded the same as before, Jiro felt that something was different.

But, I can’t tell exactly what the difference is.

A strange feeling surged into his heart like a tide, and at the same time, made Giraud's head become dizzy involuntarily, and his thinking gradually became unclear, as if he was controlled by an invisible powerful force.

Before Giraud had time to think deeply about where this strange feeling came from, suddenly, a strong feeling of dizziness came over him like a tidal wave.

The dizziness came so suddenly and without any warning that Giraud had no time to react.

I just felt that everything in front of me began to spin wildly and turn upside down, and everything became distorted and deformed.

After just a few breaths, Ji Luo could no longer hold on and completely lost consciousness.

His body fell limply toward the ground like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

Afterwards, he fell into a deep sleep, unaware of anything in the outside world.

At this moment, a dark shadow appeared silently in the light shield like a ghost.

It was Matthew.

His eyes, as deep as a pool, were like two sharp rays of light, fixed tightly on the unconscious Giraud, as if he wanted to see through his tightly closed eyes and see through the secrets hidden deep in his heart.

There was a thoughtful look on his face at this moment, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

Matthew came here this time because he promised the patriarch to bring Jiro back to Spirit Island safely.

However, before going back, you must not be careless at all.

He must first figure out whether the seemingly defenseless Giraud in front of him is really the same Giraud who was sent out that year.

Ji Luo can transform into a monster and blend in with the demons. Naturally, the demons can also use Ji Luo to contact the people of the Mangcang tribe.

This kind of thing happened before, when the demon army attacked those sects, they also used human appearance to deceive those sects who were holding on tightly.

These things are no longer strange, so Matthew is extra careful.

He was also afraid that if this Ji Luo was a fake, bringing him back to Dengtianling Island would be like inviting a wolf into the house.

The demon clan's internal management system is extremely strict, and any negligence will lead to eternal damnation.

It is harder than climbing to the sky to sneak in without being noticed and get out safely.

But it was such a difficult task, but Giraud completed it so easily and smoothly, which really made Matthew feel a little abnormal. As early as when he heard the patriarch talk about this matter, he always had a lingering doubt in his heart.

Now that Jiro has been controlled, Matthew will naturally use the dream-inducing technique to carefully check Jiro's condition.

Although this matter could be implemented slowly after returning, Matthew still felt a little uneasy.

I still think that I should resolve the doubts in my heart here.
