Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1128: Chapter 920: The Haber Family Courting Hatred

Hill stared closely at the leading Haber.

He wore a dark red robe, and the Ein Stones on his head were obviously all shades of purple, with two light purple ones capable of absorbing mana, and one bright purple one able to store spells.

The Ein Stones of others couldn’t achieve such uniformity in color, even if used for absorbing mana, they often used one green and one light purple.

Moreover, the Ein Stones circling his head were clearly larger.

Most importantly, Hill took a careful look and discovered that the hemispherical gemstone on his head was a High Knowledge Stone!

How is that possible?

While it might be possible for other races to wear a Knowledge Stone through some means, a High Knowledge Stone could only be worn by those with Elven Bloodline, or even only by certain High Elf families from the Comanso Empire, which was destroyed in the Dawn Calamity!

Of course, someone like Hill with Coron’s bloodline could ignore those lineage requirements, but that’s because Coron is the source of all Elven bloodlines, rendering any restrictions useless to his bloodline’s descendants.

But the Haber Family has absolutely no Elven Bloodline!

Hill could never make such a mistake… even if there was just a trace of Elf Blood, he would be able to sense it.

This is a talent of Coron’s descendants; no Elf can block the perception from them as the source of their bloodline.

Hill meticulously observed the old mage on the gigantic screen, ultimately confirming that this guy had not a trace of Elven Bloodline.

He couldn’t help but clench his teeth… To deceive a High Knowledge Stone, this old guy must have either extracted blood from forty-nine High Elves of the Comanso Empire alive, or he must have excavated that nation’s ancient Elven graves, which would mean nearly a thousand Elf bodies were refined into corpse oil!

But before Mistral followed Lansendel and perished, Hill doubted that the Haber Family had the ability to kill so many High Nobles without being caught… At that time, Elves were rampant across the Ferun Great Land, with even ordinary tribe members being pursued heavily if anything happened to them, let alone Great Nobility’s children!

The Elf Empire at that time wasn’t like the Eternity Island that couldn’t even protect its own princess.

So… did the Haber Family dig graves for tens of thousands of years?

No wonder they have such a good relationship with the Kingdom of Sel!

It’s really disgusting!

“The Elves truly want an endless war with the Haber Family now!” Celene keenly noticed why Hill was angry.

Hill said coldly, “List, tell Lynn, this matter must be reported to Coron.”

Even if Coron had already seen it on the gigantic screen, he still needed to inform him.

Then Hill hesitated for a moment before adding, “Also notify the Tower of the Dawn.”

The High Elves of the Comanso Kingdom are probably all squatting in Lansendel’s Divine Kingdom now… They died quite neatly back then, turning directly to ashes.

Although many Elves died at the time, because there was no need to handle any aftermath, everyone just pat their shoulders and entered the Divine Kingdom… The plan failed, and there was nothing anyone could do, the Elves hadn’t anticipated the consequences would be so severe.

Fortunately, their Main God, albeit somewhat dim-witted, at least kept the promise… Although they didn’t become gods, life in the Divine Kingdom was carefree.

These High Elves, how could they expect someone to dig up ancient Elven cemeteries from ten thousand years ago?

In their long lifespan, the entire nation’s Elf Noble Cemeteries would probably not number ten thousand, and they were scattered across the Elf Kingdom in various locations… Mistral was just the strongest city among them, but other cities also had Puzzle Lock seals.

If he hadn’t seen that High Elven Knowledge Stone with his own eyes, Hill wouldn’t dare to believe someone would do such a frantic thing just to learn Ancient Elven Spells.

He certainly understood that the High Knowledge Stone had many powerful functions, but those functions could also be achieved by other Subartifacts; an Archmage with such a long life wouldn’t be unaware of that.

But still, he did it… Knowing that once exposed, the Haber Family would face endless pursuit by Elves from top to bottom.

It could only be for the two hundred pages of spells within the Knowledge Stone and the memory scenes related to the spells inside… A High Knowledge Stone can store ten different memories, each lasting up to 1 hour.

When the wearer extracts a memory, they experience it as if they were the recorder.

And these memories are usually important or precious to the previous wearer.

A High Elf Mage, even if they keep some records of everyday matters, the majority will be cutting-edge alchemical experiments and research records on spells.

Hill coldly watched the giant screen, silver-blue spell orbs rapidly flying around him… No matter if they had a chance to escape Toril before, Hill was prepared to reduce that possibility to zero.

Those dignified old mages posed in a silent and imposing manner, holding luxurious magic wands as they stood in a fan shape at the door, glaring fiercely at the Undead Tribe that was curiously watching them.

However, be it the leading white dragon or the undead tribe beside her providing cover, or even Edna in the middle looking wary, none of them asked about their identity.

Standing not far behind Edna, the undead responsible for the live broadcast muttered softly, “If you’re capable, walk out on your own, and speak up on your own!

Do you think we’re here to support the act? Should we provoke them into talking?”

Hill, who was in a bad mood initially, was even amused by him… Seems like comedy shows, although always half-dead, at least survived into the future.

And he recalled who this guy was, the Black Rose with a witty tongue, fond of gossip ‘Romantic Drunk Red Dust’.

“Hahahahahaha! Miss Edna Maxwell, you have indeed come before us!” The Chief Haber standing at the edge, used an awkwardly embarrassing laugh to break the strange silence in the hall, while providing his family’s ancestor an opportunity to speak.

“Are you stupid?” Standing at the front, Elvia had no intention to wait for Edna to speak and shot back skillfully, “We came, we’re standing right here! What can you do?”

“You just keep being stubborn! I want to see what the so-called Mage Killer can do!” The mage by the Clan Leader’s side replied viciously.

“Hmph~ Come on! What can she do? She can’t even take off with her owner when the ground collapses!” Chief Haber said disdainfully.

Elvia turned her head to think through their meaning… They might be thinking that when the ground collapsed, she’d fly upwards carrying Edna, abandon the Undead Tribe and the other teammates to escape?

Then the Haber Family would prepare a heavenly net, directly capture them fleeing in panic.

What a beautiful thought, too bad they underestimate who?

“I’m not scum like you! Afraid and fleeing before the fight!” As Elvia understood, she began cursing, “Who’s like you, picking soft targets to strike!

Have the courage to face Hill! See if you won’t be smacked into a pulp!”

“Alright, Elvia.” Edna’s voice, loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear, “They don’t even dare to confront Kelben next door directly! Where would they get the nerve to face our lord?

A bunch of old fools can only have dirty thoughts towards an underage girl like me, tsk tsk! The Haber Family could live longer than millennial turtles, relying on bullying the weak!”

Hill quietly widened his eyes… Miss Edna, you should really say a few words less!

‘Old Age Striking King’ lady, you’re truly incorrigible… Look at the White Dragon Queen cursing profusely, and this sarcastic Edna, her tone is all too familiar.

Perhaps ‘Romantic Drunk Red Dust’ had similar thoughts, his face turned directly towards the little loli wearing a pink princess dress and a pink-white short cape… The expression on the cute little face that appeared on the giant screen was filled with ‘triumphant’.

The Haber authorities probably haven’t encountered such straightforward and crude enemies for a long time, the leader in the center sneered a few times: “Enough talk! Kill them all!”

Elvia spread her long wings, speaking with joy: “Come on! You old undead trash, I’m giving you face even if I take a step back!”

The sound of ‘Old Age Striking King’ followed: “Keep an eye on the buffs on the White Dragon, keep them constant, less than five lines and don’t blame me for scolding!

Remember, I can tally the family’s casting status, everyone save some face, alright?”

Though the battle was imminent, Hill felt thoroughly relaxed… The ease displayed by the Undead Tribe can only prove they see the enemy boss’s health bar.

It shows these mages, to them, are the type that can be worn down over time; just need to be a bit cautious in response.

Sure enough, the leader of the Haber Family attacks with an Eighth Ring Necromancy Spell ‘Black Flame Technique’… A black flame directly wrapped around Elvia, then was blocked by a radiant transparent shell.

And among the others, only two dared to use a Seventh Circle Spell, Necromancy Spell ‘Sword of Darkness’ and the ‘Wave of Exhaustion’ which exhausts enemies in a conical area.

The Chief Haber and the old mage on the outer side didn’t even use Seventh Circle Spells… Sixth Circle Spells are not even worth a flap to the buff-laden White Dragon.

Seems like even if the hall can help them stabilize space, it hasn’t reached the level where Ninth Ring Spells can be used freely… And from the leading mage, who can only chant to cast even Eighth Ring Spells, his spell control power isn’t as good as the lich who fought the Undead Tribe in the Underdark.

Even if he could use a Knowledge Stone to release Ninth Circle Spells, it would probably only be two or three times… Elvia, relying on the Undead Tribe Priest’s healing and shielding, plus that strange object necklace on her neck that can prevent lethal spells, can resist it.
