Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1300: Chapter 1091: Snow Old Dog in Action

”Snow Cloud Peak” shouted for a while, but no one came, and finally burst out: ”Do I really need to get a diplomatic agreement with Baldy first to direct you Black Rose people?

What on earth is the Idler doing? Can’t anyone else help me call him?”

”Tsk, we’re fishing at the stern! What’s the rush? Can’t you just come over here?”

Responding was a pair of whimsically dressed Knights, draped in big red robes... adorned with that peculiar Black Rose emblem.

”Fishing for what? With so many dragons around, what fish would dare to be nearby? Are you comparing who can catch heavier air?” ”Snow Cloud Peak” glanced up, then couldn’t help but turn his head, covering his eyes and groaning, ”Magic Sword, what are you doing here?

You two showing up together, trying to blind me so Baldy can become the Alliance Hierarch directly?

You wish! I can just choose not to look!”

”Magic Sword” spread his hands, ”We are the eyes Black Rose placed on your side, team leaders, of course, should stay together, why are you calling the Idler?

Is there anything he can do that I can’t?

How is that possible?”

”Snow Cloud Peak” gently placed a hand on his forehead, with a hint of pain: ”I really admire Baldy! How on earth does he tolerate such a peculiar aesthetic from you guys?

Being ugly is one thing, but dressing more flamboyantly than the Chromatic Dragon Queen yesterday... how does he usually direct you guys?”

”Baldy... never chooses the human form, although Liu Liu keeps a strict watch on him.” The ”Idler” replied with a mischievous smile, ”Not looking up, and all’s peaceful under heaven, right?”

”What’s wrong with me?” protested ”Magic Sword”, ”This is all carefully matched by me!”

”Snow Cloud Peak” looked side to side and finally chose to face the ”Idler” to speak, ”You often go pirate bounty tasks with our ships; you should know the Black Dragon on the neighboring island, right?”

”Wezlum Urzul? Of course, I know him, he’s pretty familiar with a few of our Black Rose ships.

After all, we both like those pirates from the south, rich and full of specialties.

The northern ones are no good, all their ships are shabby.

But we’ve never spoken, he doesn’t seem too keen on dealing with humans.”

”Snow Cloud Peak” blinked a few times, feeling that watching any longer would give him glaucoma.

He couldn’t help it; he pulled up the hood of his Mage Robe to cover his eyes, before asking, ”Where’s your White Dragon? You’ve met so many times, haven’t you thought of having your White Dragon friend greet him?”

”Since he’s not picking a fight with us, what’s the point of bringing out Gamandia?” the Idler asked, puzzled, ”Even though White Dragons aren’t afraid of water, they still prefer staying on ice.

Gamandia gets tired of looking at the sea after two days and would rather sleep in the partner space.”

”Snow Cloud Peak” twitched his mouth a few times before saying, ”I really don’t get it, with so many brave and competent ones in Black Rose, why did he choose you?

When White Dragons look for partners, don’t they usually like to find complements?”

”Well, it’s...pretty complementary.” ”Magic Sword” chimed in from the side, ”You know, White Dragons...the first half of their lives are tough, those Male Dragons that live long all sleep well.

Eat their fill and they’ll doze right off, that’s their routine move.

Not to mention, Gamandia is also Arausato’s son!”

”Snow Cloud Peak” glanced helplessly at the bewildered ”Idler”... Arausato and Elvia’s son choosing to frequently hang out with the ”Old Age Striking King” Idler is somewhat understandable.

After all, his mom must be around often.

However, ”Magic Sword” was actually implying that the ”Idler”, who has always had a good relationship with the ”Young Master,” can actually never idle, so having a lazy White Dragon partner is indeed complementary, right?

Besides having an odd sense of aesthetics, no talk of girlfriends... even though he’s constantly dumped, at least ”Snow Cloud Peak” who’s faced with a creature like ”Magic Sword” can proudly say he has a girlfriend... though ”Magic Sword” is quite shrewd too.

Just in some areas, one step short... An average person, well, might be strong in one area, with some deficiencies in another, just like him, ’Snow Cloud Peak’, really.

What’s the fuss about being a straight man? Even the straightest of men can find a girlfriend, and whether they can keep one is another matter.

As for ”Magic Sword” and his sense of aesthetics, really... how should I put this... ’Snow Cloud Peak’ thought earnestly, maybe when the creator was adding points to him, ”Magic Sword” was too impatient and slipped right out of the womb before the points could be added.

Looking up at the ”Little Whale” already flying over as bait, ”Snow Cloud Peak” turned with a smile, ”Now, could we have your Gamandia wake up and chat with me?”

”The Idler” scratched his head, ”Of course, he’s already awake, just doesn’t want to come out.

With Tiamat here, how could Gamandia still be asleep?”

”Why didn’t you have him go fetch the metal fragments?” ”Snow Cloud Peak” asked casually, knowing the Idler always has some flashy maneuvers, nobody knows what he’s thinking.

But he was still stunned by the Idler’s answer.

”Why pick up garbage? It’s both troublesome and tiring.” ’An Idler’ scratched his blue hat and said with conviction, ”I promised to give Gamandia 5000 Gold Coins, then he won’t come out causing trouble.”

”You two... do complement each other quite well.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ tugged at his long hair to calm himself down.

He should have realized earlier that anyone who could play along with the ’Young Master’ must have similar values.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ decided not to continue chatting with such carefree little young masters who have no idea about life’s hardships, fearing that one day he might crush these little brats to death: ”Please, quickly ask Gamandia to come out! There’s something very important I need him to do.”

Gamandia, with his slender figure, soon appeared.

This male Ancient White Dragon combined the features of Elvia and Arausato: tiny spikes extending beneath the triangular crown and joints that looked like hairs but were sharp and serrated, perfect for grasping and tearing flesh.

Thick white armor plates extended from his crown to the tip of his tail, protecting his spine, with occasional silver flashes showing that, like his parents, he had layered Mithril within his scales.

This is the most typical defensive method of the White Dragon... but few White Dragons have the ability to do so.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ observed the Ancient White Dragon before him, nodding in satisfaction: from the words of those Black Rose folks, it’s clear those Black Dragon Brothers have quite the haughty personalities.

If a weaker White Dragon went over, they likely wouldn’t even get a chance to negotiate.

Even knowing that the Anmur Navy sent people... given the nature of dragons to be arrogant and cunning, they wouldn’t readily agree to ally with humans, instead choosing to hide and see if the Undead Tribe would clash with the Anmur People first.

But if a peer of comparable status and obviously strong Ancient Dragon showed up, then everything could be negotiated... they bow to their kind, not to humans or elves.

For dragons, although this is just face-saving, it’s extremely important.

Moreover, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ also wanted to know from the Black Dragon Brothers how much Mithril Mine was left.

He’s not as generous as Hill, in his mind, as long as the Mithril Mine reserves exceed 200 pounds, that’s enough... he could then put in more effort to trap Anmur, and let the Moonshadow Archipelago fall into the pit as well.

If it exceeds 500 pounds, then he should quickly find a few temples he has good connections with and occupy Snowfall Island.

Especially since Anmur’s Abert is planning to go to war, isn’t it time to make some money?

Instead of letting those inexplicable noble kings benefit, why not keep it among themselves... divide it up.

Even Hill, who only had a basic understanding of politics, understood this principle from countless wars, and ’Snow Cloud Peak’, who saw numerous allies turning into enemies for a bit of profit, understood it even more.

But he also knows that many temples are indeed deeply hostile to each other, yet when it comes to dividing interests, they are more suitable.

After all, unless the interests are great enough for them to betray the Main God, otherwise, they would never easily disgrace themselves in front of their own deity’s enemies.

Strong deities, at this time, serve as the best checks.

On the contrary, those country forces are much easier to turn against.

Hill wouldn’t be afraid, but if the Lord of Agleya had to constantly handle those endless enemies jumping out from unknown corners, wouldn’t it be bothersome?

It’s better to start by finding allies who, before the interests reach a certain extent, absolutely won’t betray.

So now the most important thing is to know the exact amount of Mithril Mine.

Many schemes can only start after this.

Of course, before this, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ swiped on the tablet, instructing those ships intercepting the Anmur Navy to move southwest during the fight.

Best right in front of that small island, let those two Black Dragons who have been hiding have a good look.

If they can behave themselves, that’s best... ’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help but touch his long hair... although hair won’t fall out in the game, he always has to return to reality, doesn’t he?

Then he closed the livestream tool and began privately instructing Gamandia.

Edna turned to ’Old Age Striking King’ beside her, whispering softly, ”Why do I feel like what he intends to do might be scarier than taking down the entire Anmur Navy.”

”No need to feel, he’s definitely causing trouble, once he shuts down the machine, he’s preparing to trap someone.” ’Old Age Striking King’ replied indifferently, ”Anyway, since Black Rose is not within the range of misfortune, we don’t need to care!

Old Dog is quite good in this aspect, even if it’s to trap an ally, it’s nothing related to major interests.

It’s mostly for fun.

As for enemies... his enemies, aren’t they also Black Rose’s enemies?

Baldy has always chosen to advance and retreat along with Old Dog in this regard.

After all, with several ins and outs, there’s no longer the ambition to be the master at home.”
