Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1188: Chapter 979: The Sudden Outbreak of Battle

“Why?” Lansendel asked in confusion, “Isn’t it just 16 Bejewelry?

Anyone can take them out, right?”

“Ah! Lansendel really is purely male!” Celene said with a playful smile, “Without a female perspective, you certainly can’t understand the feeling of being overshadowed in subtle ways.

The gemstone that you like so much, even considering as a manifestation of your will, is just a meaningless hairband in the other’s eyes… If it were the real Mystra, upon seeing that little girl for the first time, she probably couldn’t help but step out.

Talos… really has a way!”

“Luckily, Edna has already abandoned her fondness for Bejewelry gemstones.” Shaer agreed, “But… being too influenced by the White Dragon isn’t good either, right?

You can’t just look at everything to see if it’s worthwhile first!

What fun would be left then?”

Hill… had no clue about the sudden sense of resonance in front of him… He carefully shook his head at the Great Peacock looking over: Timely silence was their best choice.

Though he is as straight as steel, in the complex real society, he has learned a bit of wisdom: when women have determined certain facts, unless you are directly involved, do not argue.

Right or wrong, once you speak, the end result is always the same.

However, that comic scene named ‘First Encounter’ in Deepwater City was slowly reaching its climax… The two ladies decided to temporarily set aside the condemnation of the behind-the-scenes player and focus on the grand show.

The joy is the everlasting pursuit.

After all, the louder the thunder rumbles, the more excited Jai becomes… he seems to know who wants to zap him to death.

Bane really does hate Kranvo.

“Love is a light that turns people green with panic.” ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ spoke slowly, “So is Manks completely green in glow?”

“Is there a special meaning to green in the Undead Tribe?” Edna timidly asked the ‘Old Age Striking King’ loud enough for everyone to hear.

“Betrayed by a lover, the brighter the green light, the more times you’ve been betrayed,” the ‘Old Age Striking King’ said after tilting his head to think.

“Hmm…” Edna spread her hands, “I don’t quite understand since it’s rare for couples in Toril to make loyalty vows, let alone lovers.

Speaking of which, the most famous pair would be Kranvo and Midnight.”

“What?” Gendilarei suddenly rushed over, “They have a loyalty vow?

How is that possible?

It’s infuriating!

There’s no way to mistake someone then!

Why do they argue? They’re destined to spend a lifetime together!

Such a big thing… my master doesn’t know?”

“Midnight made it before Kranvo died, to prevent her lover’s soul from being washed away after entering Styx, and also to find his reincarnation, forcing that guy to open his mouth,” Edna said calmly, “The former Mystra and Azuth witnessed it, and all the gods were watching Cyric at that time, right?

Otherwise, Jacob would’ve forced them apart long ago.

While he is pleased with Kranvo’s attitude towards death, he’s also quite unhappy with his unwillingness to abandon humanity.

Azuth doesn’t care; he allowed his subordinate Visaron to manage the evil divinity of death alongside him.

After all, it used to be normal for three entities to manage death’s divinity, so creating a Visaron to specifically manage those bone-playing guys is reasonable.

Otherwise, why did Visaron betray Talos?

He knew long ago that if he stayed under the Destroyer, not only would his Divine Power be worn away, but Sazzastan might also become the Undead Lord’s Lesser God.

To block Sazzastan, Visaron would stop at nothing.”

“Lady Midnight is quite admirable in some ways,” Gendilarei said unwillingly.

“Just say she’s a love fool; I have no objections.

Anyway, if Lansendel’s priests understood what being a woman means, there’s no way over ninety percent of them would be single, not even bothering to entertain Shuni’s followers,” Edna smiled lightly, “I do think Midnight did lots of foolish things, but this one wasn’t wrong at all.”

She tilted her chin toward the outside: “At least now, even if Mystra saw Kranvo so angry he’s about to cast thunderbolts, she wouldn’t suspect he’s mistaken the person.”

“Then… doesn’t Kranvo know where Mystra is?” Nasir silently added a line, “Then why does my master still want me to follow you?”

Edna looked at him very seriously, then smiled and said, “No… if it were that easy, why would AO play such a trick?

Destiny can be concealed, let alone covered by the hands of the Supreme God.

So, even for powerful Divine Powers, if kept in the dark, one can only see the result when the Path of Destiny is complete.

Kranvo is not angry about someone impersonating Mystra… that’s too normal, considering the people and gods jumping on the Path of Destiny are already many.

What the Master of Death cannot tolerate is those two down there getting together… it’s an insult to their repeatedly breaking up yet inevitably never separating relationship.”

“What will he do then?” Nasir asked curiously, “Just casting some thunderbolts in anger isn’t enough, right?”

“How could I possibly know?” Edna chuckled oddly, “Who can analyze what’s going through the mind of a madman who rushes into the Bottomless Abyss to slaughter indiscriminately when displeased?”

“Why does she have to spell it out so clearly? Killed half the fun! Who wants to watch Kranvo go crazy? Doesn’t he always go crazy?” Celene complained a bit.

“Probably because she knows we’re watching!” Lansendel was somewhat fair, “Affairs between men and women are the easiest to turn into gossip stories where no one knows the truth… Those spreading it have no interest in exploring whether it’s true, as long as the content is explosive enough.

It’s quite normal if she doesn’t want to; clearly, she’s such a devoted personality.

Especially after she just saw Rose’s story… It’s normal not to want to be compared to that giant spider.”

“Hmm…” Celene thought about it and couldn’t help but shudder, “That’s kind of scary… No one would want that.”

“The most important thing isn’t… Wasn’t she just watching from the side? Those who don’t know now will certainly know later!” Shaer straightened her body and looked around, “No matter how much memory she regains now, at least she knows what relationship she has with Kranvo.

Anyone normal… would definitely make things clear. Otherwise, how could she face Kranvo in the future?

Couldn’t just watch Kranvo be treated like a fool?

You two… Forget it… Talking to you two about this is pointless.”

Lansendel unhappily flapped his wings, “Of course, I understand what feelings are! At least I’ve had lovers!

Don’t lump me with Celene!

Besides, are you that much better than her?

Don’t think just because you have an ambiguous connection with mutual feelings, you truly understand what emotions are!

Tsk~ it’s all the same… pure.”

Hill stared dumbfounded at Lansendel… He really dares to speak!

Then, realizing it, Hill almost dived into the pool… Damn it! Deepwater City hasn’t exploded yet, but his Floating Castle might first burst into a grand fireworks show!

Holding the Crystal Flower in confusion, Hill sighed and buried his head into the blossom… The blue-white and purple-black brilliance intertwined and clashed with the rose-colored dazzling light… It hurt his eyes a bit.

Even though he knew they would sooner or later fight… Hill honestly didn’t expect it to be over such reasoning!

Not knowing how long he could keep soaking, Hill in a haze thought that maybe in those places that more easily led to conflict earlier, these guys paid attention to the way they spoke to watch the fun, and also had psychological preparations, so they ended up holding back.

Once they were watching someone else’s drama, they instead let down their guard.

Especially that Lansendel!

Sigh!

He really is… daring to say anything!

On the giant screen, the man and woman were still in their thunderous exchange, while beneath the giant screen, he shivered in the pool… Damn it! The castle really was shaking!

Holding the Crystal Flower, Hill tried hard to control the Puzzle Lock… This power almost compared to Mystra’s fall!

“Stop! Stop fighting!” Lansendel shouted conceding defeat, “I swear I’ll cut the sarcasm from now on, okay?”

“Ah~ wait! If I have to go back, I might not be able to rein in my mouth~”

The twins were indeed quite in tune, Hill could feel it, they practically ceased their exchange simultaneously.

A long golden tail feather floated in front of Hill, and he dazedly reached out to catch the beautiful feather still holding warmth.

Lansendel lay panting, totally plucked and ruffled, on a lawn, complaining mournfully, “Women really are heartless hand-crushers!

Sigh~

If not for seeking firsthand news…”

Facing the Great Peacock’s lamentations, both Shaer and Celene merely sneered twice, returning to their thrones to watch the giant screen again.

Having already pocketed the venue fee, Hill wasn’t planning to interfere… just moved his chair and table next to the Crystal Flower’s pool.

Though the viewing angle wasn’t as good, he felt more at ease here.

Luckily, the melodramatic drama on the giant screen was already at a climax… Hill truly suspected that the three stopped so timely to not miss the show.

That Miss Manske, although only eight, dressed maturely and yet not jarringly, was now smiling as she handed out the ivory folding fan in her hand.

According to Toril Nobles’ tradition, a noble lady wouldn’t casually give away her folding fan… It’s a hint to the other person: I have some interest in you; you can start your pursuit.

Although this didn’t mean Jai could yet ascend, before his emergence, Miss Manske hadn’t been so swayed.

Standing by the high adjacent top floor window, Edna’s face was left only with indifference.

“Does this mean they’re hitting it off?” ‘Snow Cloud Peak,’ having already understood this world a bit, turned to ask Gendilarei, “But didn’t that woman say she was going to watch the vertical harp with the silly little Knight tomorrow?

Tsk~ musical instruments huh~ Wind, Pull, Pluck, Sing?”

“Old Dog, shut up,” the Sanda King coldly said.
