Surviving The Fourth Calamity

55: Chapter 55: Communication with Adrian 55: Chapter 55: Communication with Adrian Adrian indeed came two days later.

As soon as he flew into the Magic Tower, he asked, “Is the Windmill Jasmine outside your village a magical plant?

It gave me quite a scare when I flew past!”

“There’s one in the territory that has gained intelligence and can communicate.

I asked her for some branches.

She’s also happy to see more of the world and meet more humans.”

“Scared me to death!

As long as you can control it.

That thing can even knock out a Magister!”

“The Undead Tribe has come to settle.

We need to prepare for their fights.

What if they start a siege one day?

I’ve even prepared firefighting water, with a stream on the left side and an underground canal on the right.”

Adrian was a bit stunned, “Would they go that crazy?

Didn’t their Main God set up that deadly array?”

“When the Undead go crazy, they’re not much more rational than those siege magical beasts,” Hill couldn’t help but snark.

Anyone who’s played games for a long time has probably done some attacking of main cities or infiltrating sects!

Hill still remembered when he first started playing games, there were two sect players who had an argument, and in the end, one group gathered and took down the other sect leader.

Players usually stick to order, but when they go crazy, even the chaotic ones seem reasonable.

Adrian mused for a moment, “Then I’ll go back and release all the High-level Puppets for patrol.

Diamant has the ability to control Legendary Puppets.

I remember the teacher has two or three and should let them guard the tower.

But you, be cautious!!!

Hm?

Hill!

When did you become a Magister?”

“Just in the past couple of days!

Warlocks advance quickly, hadn’t you noticed?”

“Soul?”

“No problem.

The divine power is very reliable.

A fully human soul, a fully human body.

There’s nothing to be done about the bloodline though.

It’s increasingly leaning towards the Nature System.”

“Is your inherited memory from the Earth Bear or an Elf?” Adrian asked bluntly.

“Bear…” Hill said, somewhat weakly.

“Earth is Earth.

What’s this talk of Nature?”

“My Wood and Water Elements haven’t disappeared, okay!”

“Then this Druid is at least Legendary!” Adrian marveled, “Reaching this stage without being consumed by the Earth Bear’s bloodline.”

Hill didn’t want to bother with him; Adrian was simply jealous of his fast advancement.

Adrian calmed his unsettled feelings and sat on the sofa, “I’ll go back and tell the teacher.

With your advancement, we can worry less.

Should I help you upgrade List’s core?”

Hill smiled, sitting on the smaller sofa nearby, “Help me engrave the Space Law you mentioned.

Take a look at the warehouse I built myself afterwards.

Just that the air inside is quite thin, squeezed out by the Space Elements.

Below Mage Level can’t use it.”

Adrian nodded, “Your approach differs from ours.

Since you have a new path, I can directly teach you those laws.

Hill, these are knowledge we can exchange equally, don’t feel awkward about it.

Now our relationship is good, so I handle many things directly.

But you should know, the teacher is already on the path to becoming Legendary.

I’ve benefited significantly from it too.

I believe I have a chance at becoming Legendary myself.

For a Warlock to reach Legend, the challenges are greater and more numerous.

You might take much longer than me.

By then, the Magic Tower should be managed by my students.

At the Legendary level, emotions become much more indifferent.

I don’t even know if the teacher and I will be as considerate of you by then.

My students won’t have any feelings for you.

So now, set the rules straight, don’t just give away knowledge for free.

You must adhere firmly to the principle of equal exchange among mages.

After all, your awakened Earth Bear bloodline has extended your lifespan quite a bit, right?

The longer the time, the more you should stick to principles from the very beginning.

Hill listened to Adrian’s lecture with a warm heart: only someone who truly cares about you would guide you like this.

“3000 years should be no problem.” He smiled, “If I reach Legend, living for ten thousand years is normal.”

Adrian rolled his eyes, “If I didn’t know how hard it is for Warlocks to become Legends, I would storm out in anger right now.”

“Uncle Adrian, are you planning to take on students now?”

“Yes, I want to find a suitable student to teach early.

Otherwise, if I shut myself in for long periods, there will be no one to interact with the Undead Tribe!

Most of the people in the merchant convoy are still at the Squire Apprentice level and are afraid of the Undead Tribe.

Hill, does this deity focus on education because he knows the arrival of the Undead Tribe will affect the lower levels?

The teacher has already sent Boen to teach the children of the merchant convoy.

At least Professional Rank can interact with the Undead Tribe!

Since it looks like they won’t leave anytime soon, wise lords will need to establish basic education.

The teacher has even placed the Sky Knight inheritance in the new ordinary library next to the convoy!

The young people from the convoy have been reading books every day lately.

After all, without a solid foundation, they wouldn’t understand even high-level books in their hands.

Hill nodded slightly, “I also provided a substantial amount of foundational books for Olivia’s library.

Her literacy class hasn’t started yet.

After all, the civilians here have some basic education.

She’s currently helping civilians with their training.

List said two young men have already become knights.

Unfortunately, former knights could still go develop outside, but now with Sky Knights everywhere, they can only stay here as guards.”

“Ambitious nobles have to work hard to increase the number of professionals in their territories, spending vast resources to cultivate high-level ones!”

Adrian sneered, “William moved the capital without consulting anyone.

Accompanied by the Undead, he built it.

Rich and well-manned, with such powerful backers, it’s desolating.

If the nobles don’t change, who knows how they’ll decline in the future.”

He then laughed and said, “When William was recruiting, you asked me to notify people in the family.

After I told them, only a few children from the branch families joined.

Now it’s too late for regrets.

William’s army is almost complete.

If they want to join now, they’ll have to start as ordinary soldiers.

What good is it to complain to me!”

“Realizing it now is a sign of their intelligence,” Hill said blandly.

“It seems William has a unique training method,” Adrian said.

“Though it hasn’t been disclosed, a child from my family has become a Grand Knight in less than a year.”

Hill nodded silently, remembering the Temporal Elements that had never appeared before and those Undead Warlocks.

Adrian, invigorated, said, “Enough about that!

The actions of deities are beyond discussion.

Embodiments of rules!

The two Legendary Mages who follow William have already moved their students to Kexlote.

The original Magic Towers have been handed over and now serve the Undead Tribe.

Remember that Space Plaza from before?

William has designated it as a Royal Family asset.

The annual rental income heavily subsidizes the Royal Family members.

But Kexlote didn’t take a single Saral with them!

William’s attitude towards the Saral Royal Family is ambiguous.

Many people are at a loss now.

But the best part is that Edward and Charles are completely gone.

They probably don’t dare to approach the North Great Wall.

The Spencer Family definitely won’t let them off easily.”

Hill remembered the long-gone Count Pelast family.

Now, neither Fran nor Adrian mentioned them anymore.

But Helen, when Edward was expelled from the Royal Capital, was poisoned by his wife.

Leaving the Capital, Edward, a knight, could only rely on his Sky Knight son.

Faced with the lover he once loved so passionately, almost losing his throne, he didn’t say a word.

Adrian only coldly commented on a few foolish and greedy women getting their just deserts.

After that, neither brought them up again.

If it wasn’t mentioned today, Hill might have forgotten.

“If they hadn’t provoked William, the Saral Royal Family would still be a true Royal Family,” Adrian sighed, “Now, who does William see himself as?

No one dares to ask.

Among the Saral Nobles, only the Spencer Family is thriving now.”

“Nothing to do with us.

That deity doesn’t demand much faith.”

“True.

But who else can the Saral folks worship?” Adrian said, “Even the Main Temple in Obastian wants to leave now.”

“All of them?”

“Who would dare stay in Saral with that contract-holder around?”

“I wonder what’s happening in the Starry Sky?

That deity established their Divine Kingdom in the River of Time and Space, ordinary deities can’t even enter.”

“How do you know?

The location of that deity’s Divine Kingdom has always been a mystery to the mages!”

“Temporal Elements have appeared in the Elemental Realm.”

“Your elements told you that?”

“The Earth Elemental Chief is quite powerful among the leaders.

There was an announcement during a meeting in the Elemental Realm.”

“Wait a moment, I need to contact Diamant.

The teacher must be informed as soon as he leaves the lab.

This is valuable information.”

“Go ahead.”

Adrian quickly ran to contact Diamant.

Hill went to the bay window to sit and wait.

“Teacher hasn’t come out yet.” Adrian walked over, “Let’s first go check your warehouse.

Then upgrade List’s core.”

Hill called out List, who was visibly excited.

Hill sighed, “I thought you were not much worse than Diamant already.”

“Every Tower Spirit is delighted to have more and better rules in their core, sir,” List said joyfully, “If one day you want to move the Magic Tower into a half-plane, I hope to continue serving you myself.”

“You certainly know how to talk, List.”

“Thank you for the compliment, sir.”

They arrived at the warehouse, and Adrian quickly became engrossed in the runes.

Hill observed Adrian, knowing he wouldn’t snap out anytime soon, and decided to take a walk outside the Magic Tower, “List, stay with Uncle Adrian.”

“Yes, master.”

Adrian spent an entire day in the warehouse before coming to his senses.

He found Hill quickly, “Hill, your approach is very different from ours.

I’ll first engrave the laws into List’s core, here’s a crystal ball with detailed information for you.

Study it at your pace and ask me any questions when I return in a few days.

Your method will definitely benefit the teacher!”

Hill was a bit confused but agreed immediately.

Adrian ruffled his hair, “You’ve grown up.

You’ll be a powerful alchemist in the future.”

Hill watched Adrian hurriedly leave, took the crystal ball, and said to List, who was standing by, “Go follow Uncle Adrian!

That’s your core.”

List vanished instantly.

Hill decided to immediately check the contents of the crystal ball, eager to understand why Adrian was so excited about Fran’s research direction.
