Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1159: Chapter 951: One Lady Sanda King Is Enough

River looked intently at the Agleya Municipal Officer in front of her, having straightforwardly laid bare the unspoken matters between both parties. A clear answer must be obtained!

Although Agleya City is powerful, with terrifying deities backing it, it can’t stop the Elector of Mystra from pursuing their Main God... Wanting to monopolize the benefits of Mystra’s resurrection is just too greedy.

Feeling the female mage’s implication, Lynn couldn’t help furrowing his brow: ”What does this have to do with me?

No, actually, what does it have to do with Agleya?

You all want to do something, then just go do it.

Even if you want to be part of Edna’s journey, you simply need Edna’s consent.

Agleya City has never restricted anyone’s will.”

River pondered Lynn’s tone for a moment.

She could sense the determination of this Agleya Municipal Officer.

So, as long as Edna herself agrees, Agleya truly won’t interfere?

Even if Lord Hill is powerful and has a friendly relationship with the powerful divine beings, as a mage, how could he not want to be involved in the resurrection of the Goddess of Magic?

Being able to stand beside the goddess during her return to the Divine Kingdom and gain a deeper understanding of the Weave would surely lead one to become a powerful mage on par with deities... Elminster is the best example of this!

Didn’t that old mage become so powerful because he witnessed the Goddess of Magic’s ascent twice?

River absolutely doesn’t think that, being so young and already touching the edge of transcendence, her intelligence is inferior to anyone!

River couldn’t quite understand why Agleya City wanted to interfere in nothing, allowing a young girl to act recklessly... but she thought it might be because Lord Hill came from an outside world and wasn’t aware of some rather secret information, thus being indifferent to the Goddess of Magic’s return.

And facing Lynn, River haughtily raised her chin... even if favored by Miliel, a bard is not a mage, how could they understand the real reasons behind the mages’ frenzied involvement in this matter?

Although Azuth is powerful, intelligent mages would never think they could replicate his path... Thinking it’s easy to connect with a real goddess, those are likely arrogant fools who’ve read the Cyrine Scripture.

Azuth was able to win the true love of the former Mystra because when they first fell in love, she was still known as Black Eye, with no trace of deity except for the fragments of Mystree in her soul.

And now this one has reincarnated directly... naturally a deity, how could she not see through those intrigues and plots, and still fall in love with a mortal?

Even considering the impetuous character of the Goddess of Midnight, with Kranvo’s presence, how could she be tempted by these vulgar men?

No way would she abandon the powerful Master of Death for a bunch of pretty boys, would she?

River thought those senseless schemes were simply foolish dreams.

Only a life like Elminster’s should be the true pursuit of an intelligent mage.

Lynn, though unsure of what the female mage before him was thinking, couldn’t escape that matter... If among those young people from Quel Senta, there were a few confused ones, the mages from Silvermoon City and Shadow Valley clearly had motivations.

All tied to that issue of the Weave.

While Lynn himself didn’t quite grasp the mages’ pursuits, he had enough time to understand Hill’s attitude toward Mystra... just observe from afar.

He never thought Hill didn’t realize the benefits the Weave offered... His friend may appear to lead a carefree life, always idly watching everything, but in truth, he had a very clear understanding of himself.

Hill always knew what was a worthy aspiration and what was the greed that must absolutely be avoided.

So seeing the faint arrogance surfacing in the female mage’s eyes before him, Lynn simply smiled and chose not to speak further.

Let them be... anyone still seeing Edna as a child can’t be expected to have any future, right?

Even as the Mayor of Agleya, needing to maintain an outwardly friendly relationship with other forces, these mages, already blinded by desire, were without the value to earn his warm hospitality.

Standing aside, reflecting on his actions for a moment, Yaro sensed the change in the surrounding atmosphere... he could only silently sigh.

The people brought by Storm Silverhand, though powerful, were perpetually overly proud.

Did he not know that directly clarifying things with the other party would make it easier to resolve the current issue?

But... who can be certain they would be the successful one?

With Lynn’s identity as an Agleya Municipal Officer, without a letter from Elaströ, could a Silver Palace Mage like him expect to meet Lynn on a whim?

Though Lynn was famously easygoing and often mingled with the citizens in the city... if he truly didn’t wish to meet someone, he had the confidence not to see them.

Even if they’re a transcendent mage!

In some respects, Lord Hill’s status is even greater than that of Elaströ!

How didn’t River consider this?

Elaströ’s letter, Lynn simply opened it and read it!

The reason Yaro chose to circle around Lynn was, of course, hoping the other party might take the initiative to say some helpful words!

After all, he came out of the Silvermoon Alliance; maybe a sentence would please him!

But now, there is no hope that the Agleya Municipal Officer will help... People have their own pride; how could they bother with outsiders who make no sense!

Yaro could only slowly walk out and gently begin to speak, ”I’m truly sorry, I am always prone to impulsiveness.

Showed Mr. Lynn a laugh.

Since that’s the case, we’ll just go to the port inn to check in... Just hope that Mage Edna can organize her mood as soon as possible.

Don’t know if she wants to go see Candlekeep?

If there aren’t enough books, we can help... Silvermoon City and Shadow Valley see quite a few new books appear daily.”

Lynn stood up with a smile and nodded to the mages: ”Ah~ that depends on Edna’s own choice.”

He looked at the mages with varying expressions and solemnly said, ”Though in your eyes, Miss Edna may still be a child.

But I, along with the revered Archmage Hill of Agleya, have always believed that a Seventh Ring, even an impending Eighth Ring mage, naturally has the capability for self-management, and she can be responsible for her actions.

Don’t say I lack that qualification; even her family and friends shouldn’t impose any restraints on her.

In Lady Elaströ’s letter to the Lord of Agleya, she merely requested Hill to allow you freedom to act in Agleya, to independently communicate with Mage Edna, and not to have me introduce you to Mage Edna.

The Supreme Lady of the Silvermoon Alliance is indeed renowned for her astuteness and capability!”

River’s expression slightly changed... She naturally understood Lynn’s meaning: Lynn believed she had no qualification to act superior in front of Edna, and if even Agleya didn’t meddle in Edna’s personal affairs, others were even less qualified.

Even Elaströ herself hadn’t said anything to her granddaughter... So her student, the sister and disciple of Elaströ, certainly lacked the qualification to dictate to Edna.

As for strength, if not considering assistance, though she knew Ninth Ring spells, they couldn’t be used, and a wealthy, artifact-equipped Eighth Ring mage, might truly be stronger.

She, with a harsh expression, took the lead to walk out the door.

Yaro sighed heavily at the last moment and spoke apologetically to Lynn, ”It’s really unavoidable... She is part of the Storm Lady group and a bit competitive.

The Shadow Valley mage who went out last was actually sent by Lady Hillen, and frankly speaking, is truly more stable.

But they are just accustomed to letting Lady River speak; I can’t say anything.

After all... there’s quite a lot going on in the Silver Palace recently, and our strength isn’t as good as others’.

Really sorry for showing Mr. Lynn a joke.”

Lynn looked at Yaro, smiled, nodded, then shook his head without saying a word.

Yaro secretly frowned... Lynn didn’t even ask what happened in Silvermoon City!

Does he know what occurred, or does he not care?

The difference between these two is significant!

With his mind filled with questions, Yaro received no words of retention and could only turn to leave.

Watching them leave the City Hall, Lynn let out a long sigh, suddenly sat down, leaned against the back of his chair, smiled bitterly... He almost forgot the taste of schemes after staying in Agleya for so long!

”List, did you write it all down?” Half-lying, Lynn pressed his head against the armrest on one side of the sofa chair, his feet propped on the other side, swinging as he asked.

”Yes, Mr. Lynn, is there anything else I should inform you about?” List floated nearby and asked.

”Not really... Actually, there’s a little.

I feel that, although Elaströ and Hillen deliberately chose Edna’s peers to come over, those from Shadow Valley might be planning to force their way.

Should I do something about it?”

”Mr. Lynn, you’re worried and confused.” List spoke calmly, ”With their abilities, in any aspect, Lady Sanda King alone suffices.”

Lynn’s swinging foot stopped... How could he forget? That female Undead, holding the Dawn Stone!

Giving those women from Shadow Valley a hundred guts, they wouldn’t dare touch Lansendel’s Patron... That would be just a verbal battle?

’Old Age Sanda King’ Lady is a strong figure with a collection of insults in the Undead Tribe!

’Snow Cloud Peak’ has quite malevolent speech, but even they can only flee in front of her... Indeed, Edna’s unique identity made him a bit disoriented, causing him to forget this.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Lynn could only choose to close his eyes and wave his hand, signaling List to hurry and leave.
