Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1181: Chapter 972: Deepwater City Blown to Bits Would Be Normal

’Snow Cloud Peak’ has shown everyone how to handle this White Dragon.

After all, this is a conversation held in public, and having once experienced an undead tribe sweep, even the dumbest gang in Deepwater City wouldn’t seek death on their own.

Yet no one, including Edna, had any objections, wisely remaining silent.

It was best to let the topic end like this... or should ’Snow Cloud Peak’ and Elvia discuss the unreasonable nature of not being able to casually confront the gangs in Deepwater City right on its main street?

Anyway, Elvia was already satisfied with the answer she received... If there’s no chance, then that’s just how it is.

Edna turned her head to see the mages from Silvermoon City and Shadow Valley following her entering the city gates, greeting a male mage in a black robe.

She calmly turned back, with an amused smile... How wonderful! Who could understand their subordinates’ thoughts as well as she can? Even Shaer may not understand her faithful followers as well.

After all, who would show their bad side when facing deities?

But now, Edna smiled faintly... she could imagine how much splendorous work future historians could write about her journey!

Every day was a surprise, every day was... an amazement.

Looking at the group coming up from afar and the figures suddenly appearing on the opposite building, Edna truly understood the meaning of amazement.

From the exclamations of those mages behind her, it was clear that the little girl standing on the fifth-floor balcony of the luxury inn called ’Jade Pot’ was utterly unexpected... A black-haired little girl who seemed only about ten years old, her face mature beyond her years.

She wore a simple yet elegant dark robe, crafted from the finest thick silk, with a web of gemstone-decorated fastenings... A style so familiar that it made Edna want to vomit.

Edna’s expression instantly became blank... Fortunately, Midnight didn’t have much time to look in the mirror when she was younger, otherwise, she’d be enraged to the point of murder now!

”Edna?” Elvia asked with concern, turning her head, ”What’s wrong?”

Edna lightly clasped her brown hair, her black eyes filled with icy fury: ”Haha... That girl standing on the building looks a lot like Elna Manks!”

”Who is that?” Elvia asked, puzzled.

”The original name before the third Mystra became a deity.” Edna replied as calmly as she could, ”Don’t you know?”

”Hmm?” Even Josanie leaned over with a curious face, ”Wasn’t she called Midnight?”

”That’s a nickname.” Edna slightly curled her lips, ”Whose real name would be so strange?”

”Why did you suddenly think of mentioning her real name?” Leonard asked, bewildered, ”Who aside from you Magic Net Followers would remember such a thing?”

Edna slightly lifted her chin... Mages from Shadow Valley and Silvermoon City nearly stormed past their group rushing towards the ’Jade Pot’ inn: ”I guess we’re about to meet a black-haired girl named Manks.

Haha~

But it’s good, we can walk our own path now without anyone disturbing us.”

”Mystra? Has she come out already?” Leonard exclaimed, not quite calm, ”How is that possible? I thought we would rescue her from some magic tower!”

’Old Age Striking King’ looked down at him, puzzled: ”Which long-haired princess from a high tower are you trying to rescue, kid?”

Edna had already suppressed her turbulent emotions, now smiling naturally: ”It seems like the ’Jade Pot’ inn might not be suitable for our stay... surely it’s bustling and maybe even fully booked.”

The mages from Silvermoon City and Shadow Valley must be very angry now... This young lady has already checked into the luxury inn of Deepwater City, how could Kelben possibly not know?

Yet he could remain silent, allowing these people to waste time with Agleya and a completely unrelated descendant of Azuth.

Hehe... Edna couldn’t help but laugh thinking about it... Yaro’s words hinted that they didn’t need to deal with Kelben, yet he couldn’t wait for them to sneak away to Agleya!

”Edna?” ’Old Age Striking King’ interrupted her thoughts, ”Why are you panting so heavily?

Do you want to know what’s going on over there?

Then let’s go stay at ’Jade Pot’! What are we afraid of?

When have we ever been afraid of trouble?

Aren’t we always eager for problems to find?”

Only then did Edna realize how unusual her behavior was... Although she thought she had already controlled that little emotion, how could it possibly be completely suppressed!

She gritted her teeth: ”Forget it... I’m indeed very curious. Let’s also go to ’Jade Pot’!”

”I think... No matter how Deepwater City explodes, however much debris is left, even if nothing is left, it’s within the realm of normalcy, don’t you think? This is really something!” Celine couldn’t resist speaking.

”Sigh... Could you not make it so explicit?” Lansendel, who had been playing dead over there, sighed with resentment, ”Do you know, this is really ruining me! Knowing too much, how can I still leave here?”

”Earlier, when we accidentally let something slip, you didn’t ask and just changed the topic, so we all understand that you’ve guessed the truth!” Shaer said dismissively, ”What’s the point of pretending to be dead?

Otherwise, Celene wouldn’t be able to say such things, and she’d be warned.”

The gigantic Sun Peacock finally gave up trying to reduce its presence by crouching and started pacing in the garden again: ”Tsk tsk, unexpectedly steady! I thought she would charge right in with the Undead Tribe and take out that little girl!

Who could have thought she’d hold back, waiting to watch the show... Tsk tsk tsk, who could have imagined that Midnight... no, Elna Manx would have such a day.

Do you think... Kranvo can tell who is who?”

”He can tell; he might still have a slim chance to find his lover,” Shaer replied nonchalantly, ”If he can’t, he’ll probably be stuck in the Styx forever.”

”Whose handiwork is this?” The Sun Peacock looked with great interest at a group of people entering the ’Jade Pot’ inn on the giant screen... the inn’s attendant was staring at Elvia, who clearly did not intend to transform into a human form, with a look of bewilderment.

However, the Female Mage standing in the hall, wearing a simple blue cap and a blue robe with white trim, said proudly, ”As a descendant of Azuth, even with the protection of your ancestors, you should maintain some respect, how can you allow a stupid White Dragon to enter a place where a Saint resides!”

”A Saint?” Edna asked coldly, ”Really? How come I haven’t heard about it? Has she revealed her identity publicly?”

”How could she?” The Female Mage raised her head and said confidently, ”Miss Miriya Lillia Victoria Manx is only eight years old, not old enough to awaken her memories yet... but she’s already a Three-Ring Mage!

Is there a problem with her image or abilities?”

Ed... a fifteen-year-old Eighth Ring... Dena calmly said, ”So? Would Mystra’s Saint be afraid of an Ancient White Dragon?

Although Elvia is the White Dragon Queen, the ruler of all White Dragons under the Lord of Agleya, she doesn’t have the power to harm the Goddess of Magic, right?”

”You can’t say that~” a light and ethereal child’s voice slowly emerged, ”I don’t consider myself the reincarnation of that Mystra!

Though there are many similarities... without any memories, how can I casually claim that?

Let time decide everything~”

The little girl dressed particularly like Mystra had somehow come down from upstairs, smiling gently and nodding softly at Edna: ”Miss Edna, I’ve been hearing about you.

Compared to my uncertain future, you, blessed by the Deity of Mages, are much happier... at least without so much pressure.

Alas... if I’m not, how disappointed the pilgrims from all directions would be!

Just thinking about it scares me.”

Edna’s eye twitched slightly... are these words coming from an eight-year-old?

But she believed that her Chosen wouldn’t be foolish enough not to distinguish ages... it could only prove that this girl’s physical age was indeed eight.

Edna carefully looked at that face, and those elegant manners... Is this Cyric or Mask?

Edna thought only these two could do such shameless things.

”That’s a meaningless thing to say.” Edna decided not to continue the conversation with this person; she needed to sort out her thoughts, ”Let’s not even mention that they’re just mortals, not qualified to point fingers before the Deities.

And moreover, which loyal follower would mistake their own deity?

Wouldn’t that make everyone in the Multiverse laugh their heads off?

Rest assured! Since they’ve confirmed your identity, it’s absolutely not a problem.

Sorry, we’ve been traveling for too long; we need to rest... and also explore Deepwater City properly tomorrow!

This place... is really interesting!”

Edna glanced at the sky outside... fortunately, because of the large group, they didn’t hurry all the way, so when they arrived in Deepwater City, it was already dusk.

”I remember the ’Jade Pot’ inn claims that as long as noble guests can afford it, they’ll be well taken care of, right?” she asked the inn’s attendant with a serious tone, ”Am I not noble enough, or can’t I afford it?

Or is it full?

Looking at that person... those who aren’t recognized won’t even get in, right?”

”Of course, we have rooms!” A middle-aged male steward dressed in a black uniform hurried around from the back, ”Please follow me~”

Edna nodded at the girl who seemed lost in thought, and then led her people following the steward to the side building... It seemed the innkeeper of the ’Jade Pot’ intended to arrange a separate place for their group.

There are no fools in Toril.

Compared to that unknown Miss Manx, backed by the heirs of Azuth and the Lord of Agleya, Edna must not be offended.
