Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 238: Chapter 53 The Undead Tribe Full of Whimsical Ideas_2

Many people flew in the air while pinching their knight and swordsman friends, cursing as they flew.

”Mr. Adrian!” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust saw the two people who were surprised to see them through the cabin, waved happily, and forgot about the Universal Sky Net in his hand.

Adrian reacted quickly and caught the falling Universal Sky Net onto the ship.

The swordsman, who hastily expressed his thanks, clung to the ship’s rail, swinging his long sword, and looked up to curse at Rain Falling on Mortal Dust angrily.

Rain Falling on Mortal Dust didn’t care in the slightest, just floated in the air and laughed loudly, ”I told you not to let me catch and fly, just yesterday, I killed Baldy!”

”Get lost, you just don’t want to help!” Universal Sky Net angrily threw out the long sword.

Rain Falling on Mortal Dust dodged easily and landed as well, ”Behave yourself. Come with me to greet the two gentlemen.”

Hill smiled as he watched the two players, full of energy, walk in.

”Good day. Mr. Adrian, Mr. Hill,” both of them greeted simultaneously.

”Good day,” Hill replied with a smile.

Adrian also nodded along, as he always left dealing with the Undead Tribe to Hill.

”Mr. Hill. After Mr. Fran’s advancement to Legendary, many places have been marked red on our map, why is that?” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust asked bluntly.

”Grandfather has just advanced to Legendary and is still adapting to the various Laws. It’s very likely that a certain Law might react more intensely. If it’s of the Destruction Element, it could create a disaster. It’s beyond control, and the red marking on the map is probably to warn anyone unlucky enough to encounter it,” Hill carefully glanced at the tablet Rain Falling on Mortal Dust raised and memorized those locations.

Adrian also looked twice, nodding slightly towards Hill.

It was unclear whether Fran had informed William, but he had indeed chosen these locations to unleash the uncontrollable spells.

Hill looked around at the Undead outside and couldn’t help asking, ”When did you arrive here?”

”Mr. Fran is advancing, and William sent a message saying, if Mages come to watch, there are many benefits,” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust shrugged and said, ”Others have to fly from the Western Border City, but we can teleport directly here, so basically everyone came. Besides, there’s not much happening on the Black and White Path; leaving some knights and priests is enough.”

Hill silently nodded; therefore, those Legendary figures didn’t dare to make a move, and it wasn’t just because of Fran’s relationship with Korenden but also due to so many from the Undead Tribe. Unless the entire Mage Association Parliament came together, they would only be delivering themselves to death.

Hill, with his keen senses, naturally knew the origin of hostility, so he was aware that aside from those two facing off against Fran, there were four hidden in the dark.

Hill nodded with gratitude, ”Thank you so much. My territory has been preserved because of your presence.”

He looked up again and said, ”Although I can’t open up my territory, I will have Srei’s shop find a good spot to open for a few days to thank everyone for their...”

Hill couldn’t finish his sentence; his eyes!

In the middle of a vast geometric garden, a pattern that he couldn’t look at directly was shamelessly displaying its uniqueness.

”What is this pattern?” Adrian asked with interest, pointing at it.

”A sink and faucet,” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust replied nonchalantly, and Universal Sky Net burst into laughter.

Hill preferred to shift his gaze to patterns like cheap dogs and cats sticking out their tongues.

”Isn’t there a single place that is somewhat normal?” Hill was extremely helpless.

”Yes, there is!” Universal Sky Net perked up, ”Sanda King and her crew have occupied a patch of land, right opposite Mr. Hill’s town fields. Anyone who dares to cause trouble is swiftly butchered.”

Seeing Hill’s rigid face, Adrian gave up the desire to continue surveying the scene and steered the ship over the farmland.

Hill was delighted to see a rainbow on the ground.

Separated by a long road, on one side were green fields and on the other, rolling hills with a colorful rainbow stretching across them.

Hill nodded in satisfaction; this place was right next to the town, and all he needed to do was place Srei’s shop near the town wall.

If anything were to happen, the magical plant vines on the city walls would be able to directly pull Srei’s little shop back into the town.

The only silver lining was that the magical beasts on the deck didn’t find those weird and bizarre patterns the least bit interesting; they were more attracted to the colorful flower fields.

Hill looked at the two bickering players and said with a helpless smile, ”If any of you want to come, then come. We won’t be going back until tonight.

Just don’t provoke those magical beasts on the deck; they are residents of my territory.”

”Can we play with them?” Universal Sky Net blurted out.

Hill nodded with a smile, ”Yes, you can.”

”Mr. Hill,” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust said speechlessly as she watched Universal Sky Net charge onto the deck. After sending a message, she turned to Hill and asked, ”Do you have Legendary Elements in your territory now?”

”Yes, my Earth Elemental Chief has been promoted to lord,” Hill said with a smile. ”He’s gone to the Elemental Realm to play now. But it really was dangerous before. I’m really grateful for your presence; you’ve been a great help.”

”Was it those six Legendaries?” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust asked, ”They show up as attackable on our end. Some people wanted to make a move on them, but they hid very quickly.”

”Six?” Adrian asked in surprise, ”Teacher only found five!”

He frowned angrily, ”They really wanted to launch a sneak attack; that’s why they hid so well!”

”It was an Earth element, wasn’t it?” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust said, ”They were hiding pretty deep underground.”

Hill soothed Adrian, ”It’s alright, I’ve noticed. Korenden has been watching him.”

Hill swallowed the words he was about to say: if it hadn’t been for the players arriving first, if anyone dared to attack, Hill would definitely have issued a rescue mission. There were so many Mages in the town!

Moreover, the defense of his territory might have been shattered by the attacks of a few Legendaries in the end, but it wasn’t as easy as they thought it would be.

Hill never really worried about any Legendaries; what he truly feared was that one day the players might become uncontrollable.

The highest defense those Legendaries could think of might only be half of what Hill had prepared.

It was a pity they didn’t take action.

Otherwise, with so many Undead Mages outside, killing a few hundred of them would have been pointless. Underneath, in Hill’s territory, they could be resurrected—especially if he issued a mission, Hill would certainly open up his territory.

If the time dragged on for too long, those few Legendaries were not exactly allied in joint efforts; it wouldn’t be impossible for them to die at the hands of the numerous Undead by accident.

It was kind of a pity, Hill thought indifferently, but it was better not to expose the defensive power of his territory.

Suddenly, Hill heard Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’s low curse and followed his gaze to where Universal Sky Net was dealing with those three pigs.

”If—I mean, if,” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust, seeing that Hill had noticed, stammered, ”those pigs over there are willing to follow Sky Net, I wonder what the cost would be?”

Hill’s neck stiffened. Did Universal Sky Net want to ride the pigs?

”The magical beasts in my territory are free to come and go, all by voluntary choice,” Hill said slowly. ”If a magical beast is willing to go with you, I don’t really have a problem with it. All you need to do is sign an equal treaty with the magical beast. Other types of agreements won’t work.”

”You mean like a master-servant contract?” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust caught on, ”We wouldn’t dare! Forcing that sort of thing shifts your faction alignment. You’d take a big hit for that!”

Hill bowed his head in thought. The God of Time and Space must have a good relationship with nature. It’s not just any tree that can pull people out of the Abyssal Gate.

It made sense for Him to leave an avatar to deal with enemies of nature.

Hill smiled at Rain Falling on Mortal Dust, ”As long as you sign an equal agreement in my presence, I permit it. But if the magical beast dies, it’s no longer considered an ally of my territory.”

”Ah!” Rain Falling on Mortal Dust said with a smile, ”No worries there. We’ve got a Pet Pouch that can be set to retract them when they’re critically injured. We should be able to avoid any issues.”

Hill nodded, ”And the agreement must also include a promise that if you no longer need the magical beast, you will send it directly back to my territory. If this is violated, the agreement is automatically nullified.”

Rain Falling on Mortal Dust hurriedly left; his companions had already started to land on the ship, and he probably wanted to let them know fast, so they could first entice the dozen or so magical beasts on the ship.
