Surviving The Fourth Calamity

50: Chapter 50 William’s Request 50: Chapter 50 William’s Request Fran decided to return to his fiefdom tomorrow after some thought.

Even if the God of Monarchy and Nobles were left in the Abyss, they wouldn’t fall so easily.

It’s estimated that they could still return to the Divine Kingdom at a great cost.

However, the Noble Temple is going to face a tough time during this period.

As for Haifasardo, seeing William’s performance, it’s likely to be annexed.

The popes of other temples would not dare to claim that their will is the will of the gods, but William certainly would.

The Noble Temple is the main force in preventing wars between nations, and the Justice Temple would also help to suppress them.

But probably no one dares to come forward to stop William from these two temples.

There are no fools among the Legendary, and now Haifa probably doesn’t have any Legendary left, does it?

With the Undead army, William could occupy several countries without any problems.

However, since the God of Time and Space still adheres to the deities of the Kind Alignment, he can’t move against countries that haven’t made a move against Saral.

All these matters don’t affect Fran and Hill.

Since Saral is safe now, the Mage might as well return to the Magic Tower.

However, Sky Knight Spencer found Fran the next day, “Master Fran, could I ask for your help in creating a large airship?”

Fran asked with full of curiosity, “The cost of creating an airship is enough to build a Great Mage Tower.

A large one is even more expensive.”

Sky Knight Spencer said with a smile, “Payment will be made in full with Space Crystals.

As for the materials, I’ll leave it up to Master Fran to figure it out.”

In this world, due to the solidification of the base elements, other elements are very rare.

The elements from beyond this plane are all squeezed out beyond the membrane of the plane.

Only when a deity that conforms to certain rules ascends to the divine throne will a large amount of similar elements be attracted into the world.

Just like the Thunder Element Spells of the Mages, which began to be studied when the God of Monarchy and Nobility ascended, it is unknown how many Legendary advancements were due to the creation of the Thunder Element Spell system.

All the Gods of Order belong to the Thunder Element Divinity.

It seems there’s some truth to it.

The reason why both the God of Justice and the Goddess of Love and Arts are subject to the God of Monarchy and Nobility is that they too are deities of the Thunder Element Rules.

But Hill never understood why love and the arts would fall under the Thunder Element.

Is it because the love of Nobles needs to be judged?

When the God of Time and Space solidified its divine body, a large amount of space-time elements were drawn down from the River of Time and Space outside the plane.

As a result, Temporal Elements and Space Elements have been added to this world.

The large gathering of elements naturally formed Elemental Ores.

The Elemental Ores formed from the elements attracted by the Deities must be much larger than the mine owned by Old King Obastian.

Therefore, the place of ascension of a deity is always where the Main Temple is located.

Although Hill hadn’t expected William to plan on moving the capital as well, the establishment of the Main Temple of Time and Space was anticipated.

Temporal Elements don’t seem to form Crystal Stones, as for the uses when concentrated, that’s not something outsiders would know.

But Space Crystals are very expensive commodities!

Previously, they were sporadic crystals brought back by Legendary Mages who visited the Elemental Realms.

Now, Saral has an entire mine!

William is trying to tempt Fran with a large number of Space Crystals!

As the space-time elements in this world increases in large quantities, Mages can research Spatial Magic and Temporal Spells.

If Fran could systematize Spatial Magic, he would become Legendary.

And as an Alchemist Master, Fran would be able to make so many spatial equipment with all those Space Crystals!

Although he would have to make them himself, indeed he could make a profit by selling them.

Hill has always wanted those devices that could expand the space of the Magic Tower.

He remembered from the novels he’d read before, how the powerful Magic Towers were expanded by spatial devices to accommodate thousands of inhabitants.

But in this world, only Legendary Mages have managed to merge their Mage Towers with a half-plane, and no such Magic Towers have been created otherwise.

He is still far from capable, with the same sized Space Crystal, Fran could create a storage space three times larger than his.

He can only count on Fran for his super Magic Tower.

Fran hesitated only a few minutes before resolutely agreeing.

Hill and Adrian looked at him eagerly.

Fran straightforwardly said, “A deposit of 20 million, equivalent value will do.”

Spencer Knight chuckled and kept tossing Space Crystals out of the storage ring.

The sight of these large, raw, and uncut ores deeply shocked Fran.

“Who mined these?”

“The King was so happy last night, he went down and mined them himself!”

Elemental Ore had just formed, and even if Sky Knights descended, they would be shredded by the chaotic spatial rifts inside.

Although the body of a Legendary Knight was also gradually becoming elemental, a knight’s bloodline could not be transformed.

This was also the reason why the lifespan of Legendary Knights was not as long as that of Mages.

As for William, his body had probably been completely assimilated by the space-time element.

Although he fought as a knight, in reality, he was more like a priest.

The power he used came from the God of Time and Space, not the hereditary bloodline power of the Saral Royal Family anymore.

William could completely use Holy Power, but it seemed that he had no interest in becoming a Paladin and only wanted to use the attack power of the space-time element.

So William did not care about the potential harm from the chaotic and volatile space-time elements.

Only he could mine the Space Crystal under such conditions.

Fran was also aware of this, which was why he couldn’t help but ask who had gone to do the mining.

After all, it was hard to imagine that a King, a Pope, a future Deity, would actually go mining in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.

Spencer Knight, however, did not mind at all, “Your Majesty the King, I really liked your ship the moment I saw it.

But at that time, I couldn’t afford to ask you to build one.

Besides, there wasn’t enough money.” He looked at the perplexed Fran and said, “The money of the Saral Royal Family was divided equally among the royal family members by His Majesty the King.

There’s only the money earned from the Undead Tribe in His Majesty’s treasury.”

Seeing the smile on Spencer Knight’s face, Hill was certain that the Spencer Family had known about William’s identity for a long time and had sworn loyalty to him early on.

Although the Spencer Family had three Sky Knights back in the day, as a newly risen nobility, their power was insufficient.

Even being favored by the lecherous King could not prevent them from helplessly marrying their only pearl to the Old King as the third Queen.

After Queen Spencer married into the Royal Family, the Old King’s interest in her lasted only for a while before he returned to the embrace of other women.

He felt that bestowing an official status upon Queen Spencer was reparation enough for the Spencer Family.

Queen Spencer had no expectations of the King either and just wanted to live peacefully with her children.

However, as her family grew stronger and five more Sky Knights emerged, her son, a man trained as a knight from a young age, died simply from an untreated cold.

Although William was still alive, he was not her real son, so Queen Spencer died of melancholy ten years ago.

She must have communicated with the Spencer Family before her death, and they made their decision.

Between supporting William, who had the backing of a future Deity, and Edward and Charles, who had caused the death of their family’s jewel, the knights had no alternative.

Smiling, Spencer Knight said, “His Majesty the King also doesn’t always have time to mine.

For the next three years, no one else can enter the mines.

So if we’re quick, perhaps all the Space Crystals can be handed over to Master Fran.”

Fran stared at him intently, “Do you want this one I’m using now?

It’s only been used during this period.”

Spencer Knight paused, “You don’t need it anymore?”

“I’m about to return to the Mage Tower.

Making a large airship will take a long time.

For me, this current one is already of little use.

If the price is right, I’ll definitely sell.”

Spencer Knight nodded, “I’ll go back and ask His Majesty the King.

I’ll inform you of His Majesty’s choice before dinner today.” After watching the Sky Knight leave, Adrian eagerly asked, “Teacher, why would you think of selling the Silver Ship?”

Fran pointed to the Space Crystals on the ground, “With these, I can make an airship with a large built-in space, what use do I have for the other one?”

He ordered Adrian and Hill, “Take the small pieces and share them between you two.

Once you get back, study hard in inscribing spatial arrays.

Be sure to practice a lot.”

Fran couldn’t help but smile slightly, “With so many Space Crystals, I can continue my Alchemy journey.

A few years from now, when Sara can mass-produce Space Crystals, I hope you two can independently complete large-scale spatial expansion.

There should be more alchemists by then.

As long as you can independently make a storage ring, you can survive on the path of alchemy!”

Hill and Adrian nodded yes.

Hill, who always enjoyed crafting, was unfazed, but Adrian, who preferred potion alchemy, looked quite miserable.

Seeing Adrian this way, Fran angrily said, “Look at the Undead Tribe!

Magister, what is that?

Not to mention, you’re not one yet!

In the future, even with strong magical power, it’ll be useless!

You can only find another way out.

Or you can hide for the rest of your life!

With so many of the Undead Tribe, where can you hide!”

Adrian quickly responded, “Teacher, I understand, don’t be angry.

I just felt a little stifled, I will work hard to learn!”

Fran shook his head and lamented, “Who dares to oppose the Undead Tribe anymore?”

Hill thought silently: In the future, we’ll see.

They’ll end up fighting among themselves.

Defending the city is where their true nature shows.

Spencer arrived at dusk to purchase the Silver Ship.

Without hesitation, Fran deactivated his ship’s core, “If His Majesty the King wishes to use this ship, it is best to set up his own core.

He can allow others to use the ship, but he must be the master of the core.

My core is quite ordinary, His Majesty the King should use one of those high-level Mage Tower type.

It can set up more users.”

Spencer nodded and left a ring with Fran before departing.

After inventorying the crystals in the ring, Fran shared some with Adrian and Hill, “We’re going back overnight.

Hill, go straight home.

Adrian, you will have to help me with making the airship.”

Hill nodded, “Of course, Grandfather, don’t worry about me.”

He hugged Alice and followed the two towards the west, returning to his own territory.
