Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1063: Who Is That Unlucky Secretary of Snow Cloud Peak?

Having received the deserved reward and the signed document, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ was satisfied and returned to his place.

”Black Rose is still fighting with Ambori!” said ’Mobi Chenxin’, who had been silently acting as his secretary, cautiously. ”Do you really plan to let them carry on until tomorrow?

The Sanda King might not be willing, right?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smugly glanced at him: ”You don’t understand, Black Rose actually quite likes dragging the time.

Nibro Island, left as a fallback for the Haber Family, surely holds many good things.

And Edna, do you think she would fall out with Elder over gold and silver jewelry?

That girl was raised single-handedly by the Old Age Striking King!

What they need to guard against over there is actually those who catch the scent and follow... that pack of wolves, tigers, and leopards.

But if we start first over here officially... the treasures that can interest female mages with Mystra Soul Mark, the attraction would be huge!

And there’s no need to deal with Ambori; the vampire Duchess is much prettier.

Whether Toril people or our Undead Tribe... those aiming for a bargain will rush over to Snowdrop Island!”

He looked up at those girls striking poses on the bow again... This time, their attire was more enticing than before, yet their poses were elegant, every move filled with so-called noble taste.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ lifted his chin towards them: ”This group, they’re not bad people, but every action and expense tries to gain the maximum profit.

Think of the good things?

Ah, the reason you almost got scammed, isn’t it this kind of thinking?

Are kids from rich families all this greedy?”

’Mobi Chenxin’ spread his hands: ”We aren’t greedy, just used to it; when we reach out, what we want is delivered to our hands.

Naturally, we want to grab more at once, otherwise... reaching out twice is so troublesome!”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ slightly tugged at his mouth: ”So, you can’t blame anyone when your hand slips.”

”I... have already lost so much I only have my underwear left, and have come back to you to surrender, relearning how to be a clan leader!

Just cut me some slack!”

”Speaking of which, I thought you could at least hang on until Doomsday went bankrupt!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said with an unbelievable expression, sincerely asking, ”Although I knew for a long time that you would eventually fall at a woman’s hands, but... how did you lose even earlier than the guy who switches girlfriends every week?

At least you have a girlfriend, you would be at least sweet for a month!

Don’t tell me your subordinates aren’t even as good as a Road Eunuch.”

”Ah... what can I say... People who are outright scum live more freely.” ’Mobi Chenxin’ said confusedly, ”But I... all along, have been rejecting girls thinking about a lifetime together quite firmly!

Fenmo was persistent back then, but later she realized I indeed wouldn’t be with her, couldn’t possibly change my lifestyle, so she gave up?

A normal girl should be like that, shouldn’t they?

Why... does Paintbrush think that by ruining my prestige outside, I won’t be so attractive to girls?

I always thought she was a bit emotional, but at least understood public and private matters... Alas!

What can I do?

Even when she became more obstructive later, I could only tolerate it!

She is, after all, one of the founding elders of the family. Many within the family support her!

If it weren’t for these people... that’s why I can’t understand how she could ruin even those who support her?

Could she not think of everyone?

So many family members on the Black and White Path have good relations with her, how can she completely ignore those years of hard work together?”

”Who are you asking? Me?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ asked coldly.

If he could figure out what women were thinking, how could he possibly remain single until now?

The most important thing is, when did he ever qualify to discuss how to refuse women without problems like it’s a big deal?

He’s clearly a Great Commander with infinite prestige, yet... he wondered why he’s always found ’Mobi Chenxin’ disagreeable!

Someone who’s always kicked around couldn’t possibly find the one doing the kicking agreeable!

’Mobi Chenxin’ felt this topic could end now... having fallen to being an assistant to Snow Old Dog, he should watch how others play the boss!

Snow Old Dog curses his family members daily, yet his family can still maintain for so many years... the name has changed more than once, but the key members have always remained.

And his Black and White Path, while the name remains, once the family’s military exploits and funds were wiped clean, it instantly fell apart.

The money doesn’t bother him, replenishing it is easy, just the matter of not buying a hovercar.

But this thing called military exploits, really years of accumulation, all lost in one morning... discovering that the Black and White Path was no longer qualified to take on large tasks, hardly any high-level players were willing to stay.

’Mobi Chenxin’ always thought he was well-liked, after all, he had always been generous and never as nit-picky as Old Dog.

But the result... was completely opposite to what he thought.

He sighed and resiliently pulled the topic back: ”You mean to say, what they’re trying to achieve now is sure to fail, and they might not even be able to hold onto the treasure?”

”That’s for sure.” Snow Cloud Peak said dismissively, ”These days, there’s still someone who, when digging for treasure, first finds themselves some opponents.

We’ve been to Moonshadow Archipelago before, that Queen is not simple at all, and she’s very able to hold her ground.

Her attitude is very friendly, but she is very decisive in her actions.

I remember Hill once said that behind her stands Mother Earth, the mighty power of Shantia.

Frankly, Queen Kowel is Mother Earth’s Chosen.

She turns a blind eye to Anmur’s hand reaching into her territory, there’s a lot going on there!

Want to use Kowel’s hand to deal with Anmur?

That’s like losing both the lady and the soldiers!”

Unless that Queen also wants to gain something in this Path of Destiny, otherwise, this time, we might really get a chance to face Anmur!

Of course, under the name of Quel Senta mercenaries.

Haha, not bad at all, haven’t had a national war in a while!

Anmur is really a good opponent, no matter how many are killed, whether civilians are hurt, I reckon William wouldn’t mind!”

”Will Shantia make a move?” Celene floated beside the golden Great Peacock and asked with interest.

”Why ask me?” Lansendel countered.

”She... isn’t she hell-bent on wanting to bear a Son of the Sun with you?” Celene said sharply, ”That’s no secret.”

”Now that Amanata has resurrected.” Lansendel said indifferently, ”She can go find the real Sun.”

Celene glanced at him seriously: ”I thought you would be tempted! After all, Shantia is so sincere.”

”Shantia is very realistic, she and I have no common language.” Lansendel said lightly, ”If I were injured now, or very bored, maybe I’d be willing to play along with her in creating a deity representing rebirth and harvest.

But currently, my life is quite entertaining, no such thought.”

Hill tilted his head to glance at the golden Great Peacock, unsure of how to assess his words.

But he’s always been curious about one thing: ”Doesn’t Shantia have many Lesser Gods? She even follows different facets with several Lesser Gods.

Why not choose one of these deities?”

”Because she doesn’t like taking responsibility... ah, to put it nicely, she doesn’t like offending people!” Shaer said with a tone full of sarcasm, ”Neither wanting to divide a massive amount of Divine Power, nor wanting her Lesser Gods to become dissatisfied with her.

If she and a powerful deity created a New God, then... even if those abundant Lesser Gods have any dissatisfaction, they wouldn’t dare offend that more powerful deity because of it!

So the anger and hatred definitely wouldn’t be directed at Shantia.

Hence, she surely won’t go to Amanata.

Unless that Sun God returns to mighty Divine Power.”

”So I... won’t have any involvement with her before I’m bored to death.” Lansendel said nonchalantly, ”Hope she sets her sights on Amanata soon.”

”Oh, Earth...” Celene sighed, then continued to ask the Lord of Dawn, ”So, do you guess she’ll suddenly take action?”

”Fifty-fifty!” Lansendel tilted his head, thought about it, then said, ”It depends if that Tampas’s watchdog will go over.

Her child Leviathan died at Karagos’s hands, didn’t he?

Has he been resurrected yet?”

Hill froze for a moment, then realized belatedly, during the civil war at Moonshadow Archipelago, the Frolock people who worshiped Mother Earth were defeated by the Northerners, and Karagos took the opportunity to occupy Moonshadow Archipelago with his beasts, causing Shantia’s belief to disappear from this region.

It wasn’t until later when the Queen ascended to power with great diligence that the Frolock people regained control of most of Moonshadow Archipelago, finally welcoming back Mother Earth.

Even though Shantia generally does not oppose the powerful, if she doesn’t retaliate against even guys like Karagos, that’s way too... cautious.

Anyway, AO just wants her Divine Power network, Shantia probably wouldn’t struggle too much.

The giant screen suddenly came with an exclamation: ”Old Dog! You didn’t turn off the livestream?”

”Why turn it off?” Snow Cloud Peak asked in surprise, ”I, Snow Cloud Peak, have always acted openly, never afraid to be watched!”

”Darn you, Old Dog!” Mobi Chenxin cursed... he received numerous greetings from former lovers and gloating enemies in this short time.

On the other side of the giant screen, the Old Age Striking King sneered twice, shouting at the ’Perfect Bald’ outside: ”Baldy! That Old Dog probably wants us to hold off until the day after tomorrow before officially starting, he’s started to speak favorably of Black Rose!”
