Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1358: Chapter 1148: Everyone Is Waiting for Dandell

”Speaking of which...” Lynn suddenly laughed, ”I really admire those young girls who dare to embrace slimes in the Chult jungle!

Even if life is unsatisfactory, they are nobles after all!

Elves dislike Chult the most because that thing is everywhere.

Just thinking about it makes me itch all over.”

”Courage comes from desire. Desire can be both good and bad, but it indeed can conquer all timidity,” Hill smiled, ”Lynn, although we’re just joking, do pay attention. If Harua’s side also tries to bring people to Chult, we need to quickly let the villagers take refuge in the city.

Just notify Hidden Town. The Mithril Elves are always vigilant, plus their spaceship’s defense is already quite good. I also set up a defensive formation outside, which should block most damages.

But for Luskan, speak more seriously when passing the message.

Laila hasn’t returned yet, and her subordinates are very much inclined towards Toril’s bureaucracy, loving the strategy of doing less to make fewer mistakes, and doing nothing to make no mistakes.

Tell them, as long as Luskan is under my name, if civilian casualties exceed a certain extent, I’ll bypass Laila for accountability.

If they have the capability, let Luskan be independent; if not, they should work steadfastly!”

Lynn glanced at him with a smile: ”Though... it’s rare to see you so serious, which is quite interesting, but during this period, those people in Luskan will be very well-behaved.”

”Just... because a Gewoosh died?” Hill asked, a bit puzzled, ”Even before, dealing with them was a cinch for me, wasn’t it?

They are just Laila’s subordinates, not Laila herself.”

”But in their hearts, you’re only slightly stronger than Laila. You have deities, she has her six sisters!

They feel they can resolve things with Laila before you lose your temper... After all, you always seemed ready to let go of Luskan.

Although they don’t know why you’d abandon your power, they think they can handle it.

Toril people only fear what’s beyond their imagination,” Lynn spread his hands, ”Gewoosh has always had the most terrifying reputation in Sword Bay... After all, Anmur still has an abyss formed by the blood of the deities he killed!

And the blood debts created by half-orcs have never ceased.

The very land we’re on was once one of the most powerful countries in The North, wasn’t it?

To these power holders in The North, someone who could create a race like half-orcs, like Gewoosh, is always extremely frightening, even scarier than Bane.

After all, the other side only seeks power from their hands, while Gewoosh wanted everyone’s lives.

So, someone like you who could easily get rid of him, has reached a realm beyond human imagination.

They knew before that you have many ways to see through their tricks... but only now do they start being afraid of being discovered.”

Hill shook his head helplessly.

But bureaucrats are just a matter of choosing between bad and worse, and there’s no need to haggle over such matters, as Luskan has never been part of his future plans anyway.

Laila trusts her subordinates more than the Tower Spirit he assigned, although boring, Hill can understand... it’s just a temporary collaboration, he is not on good terms with Elaströ, and Kelben slid directly into hostility.

Laila isn’t some naive young girl, even if she generally trusts the character of the Lord of Agleya, she surely remains cautious: guarding against Hill taking her and her children hostage.

Hill smiled, he’s used to employing the Tower Spirit anyway, and Lynn cooperates well with Marsha, why bother with other’s affairs.

Lynn stood up and, before leaving, said thoughtfully: ”Even if you don’t care, Talos’s Divine Kingdom is quite tough to attack.

Coron initially just watched the elves fight, but now he seems to be wielding a sword himself.”

”I’m not surprised by that... No matter what, Talos has been operating there for tens of thousands of years,” Hill turned to look at him, ”What surprises me is why the Singer would talk to you about this.

Isn’t it said the Weave is difficult to use now?”

Lynn revealed a peculiar smile: ”Hill, the reason the Weave is unusable is that everyone is afraid their words might suddenly become public broadcasts... even demons and devils in Toril use the Weave occasionally.

But... this matter doesn’t need confidentiality.

The God of Singing in my home, who delights in chaos, would love nothing more than having his excited voice broadcasted everywhere by the Weave!

When he spoke... no, sang to me, he used a singing tune.”

Hill glanced at his friend in confusion, swallowing back the words that almost escaped his mouth: What on earth do you see in Miliel?

Finally, he suppressed the words with sheer willpower, respecting Lynn’s freedom... Lynn, whose life on Eternity Island was quite oppressive, maybe just appreciates Miliel’s uninhibited, free-spirited attitude.

Lynn didn’t notice his friend’s somewhat odd expression, just stood up and brushed off his clothes: ”I assume, when the battle over there ends, you’ll get more accurate information here.

When that time comes, remember to share it with me... Miliel would probably exaggerate a lot.

”Previously it didn’t matter, but now that Agleya will have to deal with Coron, I really have to be careful not to step on any mines in front of him.”

Hill nodded: ”I understand.”

Lynn stretched lazily: ”Ah~ leaning against a big tree really makes life easier~ Even knowing that we might face another world-ending crisis, I don’t feel nervous at all!

Indeed, I’m just a common person.

Though not indifferent to ordinary people’s lives, as long as I’m safe, I can still smile~”

Hill looked speechlessly at his friend, always feeling that Lynn is someone with a big heart who can still laugh even at life and death moments.

But just as Lynn said, Agleya only needs to quietly wait for the results... The main battlefield of the Ferun Great Land took a turn and returned to the true Path of Destiny.

It’s just that Edna might be a bit confused... After she returns to the center of the Weave, will she have no one to rely on?

The Undead Tribe and Elves certainly can’t help her manage the Church.

And Harua... Hill sincerely feels Edna might pretend it doesn’t exist.

It’s quite a pity that Harua’s famous Mistrala’s Blue Volcano Cave might become a silent relic.

But out with the old, in with the new... The Undead Tribe has already been arguing for a long time about which blueprint should be used for the future Floating City Library in the Hidden Town.

After Edna herself provided a luxurious budget for the construction, the dreaminess and grandeur of the blueprints confounded even Hill.

He had to personally step in to halt the fantasy of building a ’living green castle’... What a joke, even if he could build it, could Edna’s future priests sustain it?

Plants have lives too!

Though some plants will mutate successfully after being infused with Weave energy, it comes at the cost of many more plants dying.

Toril’s Natural Will is quite good to Hill too, he wouldn’t undermine his friend’s foundation.

Thanks to Hill’s timely intervention, the blueprints quickly leaned towards metallic and dreamy crystal designs... Some wanted to use a garden style, but it was squashed at the ’Old Age Striking King’ checkpoint.

The garden style is indeed beautiful, but it’s based on the cultural foundations of the Undead Tribe, fantasy world folks might find it amusing, but to live... Who would want to decorate their home like an Otherworld?

Feeling unfamiliar every day?

Wake up first asking where you are?

Although Edna might not live in this Floating Castle for long, the Striking King doesn’t want his friend to retreat due to some bizarre reasons.

Edna’s home, others can provide blueprints, but these designs must be based on the homeowner’s preferences; the designer should not override the homeowner!

Truly a bunch of people lacking professional ethics.

Edna earnestly flipped through the ’Old Age Striking King’s’ tablet.

She’s feeling a sense of urgency now, fearing she might ascend before the blueprints are finalized, she absolutely needs to live there for a couple of days!

Though the construction expenses can be settled later, anyway, that Lord of Agleya shouldn’t worry about her ability to pay... He might have already started calculating the types of underground veins in Josse Garden based on these blueprints!

Edna leaned back in a chair as comfortable as clouds, stretching.

Compared to the Path of Destiny, what’s really troublesome is what happens after returning to the Weave; there definitely won’t be much time then.

Drifting up there for so long, the young girl gained some insights... AO seems quite satisfied with her current state, completely not inclined to let her draw attention by going down.

It might be because adding the Undead Tribe to her combination results in too many potential mishaps, AO already shifted his focus elsewhere, perhaps trying to clear up Toril’s hodgepodge of visitors.

Wonder if those Tablets of Fate have exploded... Edna can confirm that she certainly deviated from its initial predictions.

Her three Lesser Gods... Azuth’s fate is unknown, but Visaron and Safras are definitely in for trouble.

Though if they can control their desires, they’ll be fine... But Edna has great confidence in them failing to do so.

Visaron’s situation, it seems he’s currently observing: if he can involve himself in the Path of Destiny, he might still have a chance.

Otherwise, even if the newly ascended Mystra doesn’t intend to bother him, she certainly will reclaim many of his divine powers.

Azuth, as the Deity of Mages, can definitely take away a portion of the Lich Lord’s powers.

Given the current situation... As long as Mystra isn’t foolish, upon seeing the only one who hasn’t been aspirational but diligently maintaining the Weave, Azuth, she won’t trouble him again.

As for Safros, Edna’s lips curled into a cold smile, go ahead and struggle to the death! Fate Tablets’ remnant.
