Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 620: Chapter 418: The Unexpected Guest from Afar

List struggled to control his urge to approach the window, considering he still had elemental fluctuations emanating from him.

The Alchemy Hut in front of him, crafted by Hill, was very familiar to List. If the core magic array inside the hut detected his presence, it would trigger a very loud alarm.

Upon triggering the alarm, it would immediately release a Visibility Potion in all directions. The Tower Spirit’s body was also made of elements, albeit hidden. This potion could be somewhat effective on him as well.

He glanced sideways; the camp lacked sufficient magic arrays, a pity since the Undead Tribe had no interest in deploying monitoring arrays in their own territory.

If that were the case, he could have seen every message inside the Magic Tower and wouldn’t have had to risk coming here himself.

List felt that if he were exposed, it might even fry his core.

At the start, he really thought the Undead Tribe was up to something like ”Hill’s Biography” again!

Such negligence! Truly negligent!

”I wonder how Alice is doing now...” sighed the ’Old Age Striking King’, ”What a lovely couple they were! Hill was so furious that he stormed around yet still sent off his precious daughter in marriage, and look what has happened just a few years later.”

”Since Merkel has followed her here, it probably isn’t anything serious, right?” a foolish Knight interjected.

He then faced the wrath of all the ladies in the room.

”What do you mean it’s not serious? Alice gave up everything to be with him, and now, just a few years later, she’s so aggrieved she’s run back to her parents’ home!”

”Are you dumb? For a woman to leave without looking back, she must be heartbroken!”

”Only an idiot would think a woman would seek a divorce over some minor issue!”

The Knight shrank into a corner, his male peers looking at him with eyes reserved for brave souls, yet no one offered to help.

The Undead Tribe girls bombarded him repeatedly, filling the Alchemy Hut with waves of angry voices.

But List couldn’t afford to enjoy the Undead Tribe’s misfortune; his mind echoed with: Merkel is here? How did he get here? How could Agleya have let him out?

”I think it’s called ’Self-Cultivation of the Working Class,’ right?” ’Romantic Drunk Red Dust’ ventured timidly, ”It really takes courage to bring Merkel over right under Agleya’s nose.”

”Nonsense!” scoffed the ’Old Age Striking King’, ”That Leopard shamelessly signed a contract with ’Self-Cultivation of the Working Class’, not afraid that the guy won’t release him after arriving in this world.

Although our pet pouch isn’t large, it was enough for him to hide in.

And it even managed to deceive the eyes of the deities!

Agleya has been guarding the Star Gate for so long, yet she still missed that damn Leopard!

Also, Romantic, not everywhere do they call it part-time worker!”

”Okay, okay~,” ’Romantic Drunk Red Dust’ chuckled, ”But really, that guy does have a good reputation. Aside from being a bit chūnibyō, he has no other flaws, and he just likes to challenge those foreign players.

The guy actually wanted to join the army and go to war, but unfortunately, his body couldn’t handle it, supposedly due to poor balance, which keeps him from living in the universe for extended periods.

But he is particularly trustworthy, and not the kind who is overly greedy for money.

It’s normal for a cunning Leopard like Merkel to fancy him.”

”He’s just too cunning!” ’Cunlü’ snorted coldly, ”His wife ran away because he was too shrewd. Now he wants to reconcile, not even considering if he has any chance to bypass Hill to see Alice!”

List stiffly looked towards the direction of the Magic Tower, somewhat unwilling now to knock on the laboratory door to report this news.

”Speaking of, when can we expect that Leopard to arrive here?” mused the ’Old Age Striking King’, ”Could he arrive after our ice sculpture contest?

Otherwise, I think Hill probably won’t be in the mood to turn it into a snowy day for us anymore.

Any news from Old Dog?

The weather here changes so fast; just a couple of days ago, it was all ice and snow, and today, coming back, it’s already starting to thaw.

Our ice sculptures definitely won’t last, and our own Mages probably won’t be willing to put so much effort into preserving the ice.”

”William found that Leopard and detained him,” List was startled by a voice that suddenly reached his ears, then he realized there was someone lying on a long sofa by the window.

”Ink Brush? How do you know this! We also have people at the Star Gate, yet no news came through.

William couldn’t possibly have appeared and captured him out of nowhere! If so, it’s understandable for the newcomers not to have noticed, but those unfortunate souls who died returning could not possibly have missed it.”

”When they captured that Leopard, we had a Magician in our family there,” ’Mobi Chenxin’ languidly got up, ”That Leopard is pretty powerful, probably of Demigod Level.

William had to enlist many Space-Time Warlocks to completely isolate the space to trap and capture him.

He didn’t dare to block the Universe himself, indicating that William also felt this Leopard had the capability to break his confinement.

Regrettably, William couldn’t allow this Leopard to cause trouble; the Law from another world on him was too conspicuous.

It was said that he originally wanted to soar to divinity all in one go, but when he came out ready to proclaim the Name of God, he found that his wife had left.

The Monster Nation had now completely fallen apart, and Merkel had directly allowed them all their own patches to rule over, without the kindness to bring along some idiot who would stab him in the back on his path to godhood.

Whether he had killed a few families who thought they had rendered great services without expecting major trouble, we over here wouldn’t know, since the Royal Court of the Magical Beasts never really interacted with the Undead Tribe.

While Merkel was around, it was somewhat better, sometimes he would hire us for tasks, but once he secluded himself, he drove all the Undead away.

Wasn’t there a speculation that we might affect Merkel’s ascension? It turned out they wanted to deal with Alice, fearing the Undead would messaged Hill.

Idiots, there were so many Magical Beasts that had received Hill’s favors around!

Drowning Agleya in the Mediterranean served them right.

Merkel barely considered it before he gave up on his path to divinity, shattering the already condensed divinity.

But the light from those laws was still quite apparent.

If he had just charged over, he could easily have been caught by those deities, especially since the mastermind behind the scenes hadn’t appeared yet!

William had been analyzing these deities, trying to find some clues.

After all, those Three Gods of Justice we fought were definitely fake, William told the others not to kill them directly, trying to draw out the battle to recruit more help.

Eventually, something would reveal itself.

Especially those who never planned to join the war, there must be something up with them.”

”Does Hill know something?” someone asked, ”With so many attempting to assassinate him, even if he didn’t know anything before, now he must know some clues.”

”Wait until Old Dog returns, I’ll ask him to inquire with List. Forget about Hill, I don’t want to appear in front of him.” ’Mobi Chenxin’ said without hesitation, ”Or do you think you can?”

”Impossible.” the ’Old Age Striking King’ said directly, ”Seeing Hill, it’s hard to keep secrets. Not telling him feels like a betrayal, he’s been too good to us!

But if we tell him, what if Hill goes mad and charges out of the Magic Tower? Too risky.”

”That’s why,” ’Mobi Chenxin’ said calmly, ”No matter how much you want to gossip, it’s best not to discuss this matter in the camp, remember, the Magic Array here is currently controlled by List, he can hear everything you say.”

The Undead nodded in agreement, seemingly believing they had never made a mistake.

List could only glare at them discontentedly, aside from that ink brush, everyone here had slipped up in the camp!

Otherwise, how could he have followed them here to find out what was happening!

Damned curiosity!

List dissipated slightly, could he pretend he hadn’t come out today?

Damned William, why did he let so many people know about the dead leopard! He couldn’t even pretend to be unaware.

”Aqiu~” The King of Saral couldn’t help but sneeze.

Spencer looked over attentively, William was already a deity, if he could still get colds, then he must be cursed. With so many different deities in the world, perhaps there was one that could curse William to fall ill.

”It’s okay~ It might be someone cursing me. Although the curses of the Undead no longer affect me, those beings that can influence the laws still make my nose and ears itch.” William said lazily, glancing at the cage hung in the middle of the hall, woven from countless silver threads, where a small leopard was staring at him with an ’it serves you right, why don’t you die’ look.

William couldn’t help but laugh: ”The Undead couldn’t keep secret that you followed along. Do you think the curses I’m enduring now might be from Hill?

He doesn’t care if it was an oversight on your part, making his beloved eldest daughter suffer, you’re unforgivable.

I didn’t kill you outright, and that alone could provoke Hill to curse me a few times.

You know, that guy’s mouth is almost as if it were blessed! I’m too scared to step outside these days, fearing the moment I step out, I’ll fall into a pit.

Merkel, how can you still secretly curse me? Shouldn’t you be compensating me?”

The leopard in the cage paused for a moment, let out a low growl, then stood up, swinging its paws trying to shatter the cage trapping it.

Unfortunately, even after exhausting its strength, it couldn’t break even a single thread.

William had no clue what the cage was made of, Merkel had no room to bite through it.

”No use struggling! This is a fine item from the Father of Elves, he knows very well how to handle high-level Magical Beasts,” William said cheerfully, ”It’s said that not even the God of Orcs could escape, a demigod like you might as well give up dreaming.

Just wait until everything is over, and naturally, I’ll bring you to see Hill.

If you rushed over now, you’d only be heading to your death!

But as an old friend, I might tell you, the little white cat is doing quite well, she’s decided to give up on romance, just to be close to her father.”

William smiled very smugly.
