Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1471: Chapter 49: A Familiar Name

Hill propped up one leg, settling into a comfortable position behind the desk, his lips curling slightly to each side, his eyes narrowing uncontrollably.

Hey~ Back in the day, Adrian tried all sorts of ways and could never quite capture the colorful black. Perhaps, after hearing this news, he might find the most realistic manifestation on his face~

By looking in the mirror, he’ll know how to mix the colors if someone makes a similar request next time.

“Although I don’t know what you’re thinking, I… just have a feeling you’re being schadenfreude.

It seems like every time this happens, your mood is rather good! Sir.” Purwell remarked with heartfelt sentiment, “Indeed, no matter what creature it is, the joy of friends is always more interesting!”

Hill couldn’t help but press his forehead: “Don’t you have anything else to do? Purwell.

Then go clean up!”

Purwell quickly fell silent… He could now tell whether Hill genuinely needed him to complete the daily cleaning task or just wanted him to shut up.

Hill sighed, glanced at those orchids, levitated the box containing the orchids, and walked into the laboratory.

At least he could be certain of one thing, no matter where the spider’s toxin originated, it definitely wouldn’t be from the Bottomless Abyss.

Hill suddenly became curious about the elves who started leaving this world gradually a thousand years ago.

He separated the orchids into different crystal experiment tables, respectively activating the Purification Array, the accelerated growth array, and the normal isolation array.

Then he completely shut down and locked the laboratory before returning to the study.

Picking up the list again, Hill softly said, “Purwell, pay attention to any developments in the lab, and notify me immediately if there’s any unexpected event.”

“Yes, sir.” Purwell hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, “Are you hoping for an unexpected event or not?”

Hill chuckled before replying: “Anyway, it doesn’t concern me, whatever happens is fine.”

“Aren’t you very interested in the Crystal Mystery?”

“Let’s wait until we meet the Undead Tribe again, then ask them to relay the relationship between Silk Spider and Crystal Fruit to Uncle Adrian.

That stuff doesn’t really affect humans… Previously, the elves looked down on humans, even if they had products made from spider silk, they rarely sold them to the human world.

And even if the aroma of Crystal Fruit is polluted by spiders, once made into strong liquor, the impact wouldn’t be too significant.

Talking about toxins without considering the dosage is a joke.

Moreover, strong liquor itself influences emotions.

Otherwise, so many Archmages in Teraxil… it can’t be that none of them noticed.

At least I don’t think my grandfather would be completely unaware.

But there is indeed no reaction from the humans here.

I bet only the elves who eat Crystal Fruit every day would be unlucky.

Well… they are part of the Chaos System naturally, no one would be surprised if they’re more chaotic.”

Adrian at most might be startled but not suffer.

For example, Lind likely feels uncomfortable.

Even someone with a somewhat bad nature wouldn’t want their thoughts to be manipulated… He’s definitely frantically searching his memory now, trying to figure out whether his jealousy and venom were magnified inner malice or stirred up by someone’s words.

After all, in Stelter Castle, there are certainly some servants… the part inherited by Count Stelter from his mother… is problematic.

According to noble tradition, the servants brought by the mistress are always in charge of daily cleaning and kitchen duties.

Even when the head chef and the head maid are replaced by the new mistress’s subordinates after getting old… anyway, the servants in Fantasy World seldom outlive their masters, so the transition in the housekeeper system is usually quite smooth.

Unless the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law deteriorates to the point that everyone knows they are in a life-or-death situation, the newcomer wouldn’t choose to thoroughly clean out the servants.

Stelter Castle is no exception.

Ellie explained the cause and effect clearly, and Hill naturally realized how their family invited this disaster.

Looking down at the list, Hill couldn’t help but laugh… Court wars in Low Magic World, indeed a single mistake can lead to a total collapse.

People like him prefer Toril’s style in this regard… no matter what tricks and plans you have, I don’t need to slowly discern them, I’ll just go ahead and clean the board!

Hill circled all the items he’s interested in… The tone of Prince Alexis sounds like he’s trying to ask for more, especially wanting boxes that can preserve fruit.

Hill glanced through Galan’s notes to find a similar array in this world… Although according to Galan, this requires an annual supplement of Crystalline Energy blocks, and if forgotten would lose its function, yet Hill didn’t mind.

Anyway, he doesn’t need to bother with all that.

Prince Alexis received the letter of intent sent by Miss Ellie’s people the very next morning.

He wasn’t too surprised that Grand Mage Belfran preferred Elven art pieces.

For those towering figures in the world, gold and silver jewelry have no significance at all.

As for some magical curiosities, although valuable, they are not worth noticing to an Alchemist Master.

The princes knew all too well how difficult it was to please Great Sage Ismael.

Speaking of which, Alexis had to believe that the green Rose of the Stelter Family indeed brought a doubled blessing of luck at its birth.

If not for the appearance of the Great Sage, this family would have faced even more serious trauma… The two brothers might have perished together!

That would have been a splendid time for him to appear, especially if he could present himself as Miss Ellie’s husband.

Unfortunately, with the support of the Great Sage, Ellie clearly didn’t want to marry, and no one dared to force her.

As Alexis directed his servants to pack the things that Grand Mage Belfran wanted, he tried to deduce the other’s preferences.

Yet, even someone as observant as him could not find any thread to connect them!

Even though Prince Alexis painstakingly laid out huge sheets of paper on the ground, marking all the historical stories related to the Elves and piling the items on them for observation, he couldn’t make a judgment.

Prince Alexis could only scratch his head and give up his idea of analyzing what the Great Sage wanted, asking someone to deliver the items to Ellie.

Alexis stood by the French window on the fifth floor, arms crossed, watching Ellie directing the servants loading the carriage, lost in thought: when he returned to the Royal Capital, could he directly deliver some Elven craftworks to the Great Sage’s home?

He couldn’t be restrained by Ellie Stelter all the time, could he?

Upon receiving the items, Hill decisively placed twelve Crystal Fruits in a metal insulated fresh-keeping box made overnight and handed them to Ellie to take back.

He instructed Purwell to sort the crafts and the ones he had bought into a display room, beginning his observations.

In fact, Alexis’ calculation method wasn’t bad; it’s just that Hill wasn’t aware of most of the key points he thought of.

Not knowing anything about Aesces Elf history, he relied entirely on intuition to find things.

If he didn’t like it, no matter how historically significant, he wouldn’t take it.

Then, he soon discovered some interesting things.

He hadn’t forgotten that Draculus’ method of recording with metal threads was learned from the Elves.

And some of the woven crafts in front of him… Especially those oil painting frames woven from tough yet fine plant stems and leaves, were essentially detailed commentary of the paintings.

Some even had their emotional changes while painting written clearly.

For instance, why the characters in front were obviously not good yet were depicted so glamorously… because at that time he was in love, so even annoying high-level members of the opposing Elf family appeared beautiful.

As for the few Elves of his own family being particularly stern, it wasn’t because they valued meeting the other party but because he was kicked halfway through painting, thus couldn’t paint smiling faces anymore.

If not for the painting’s main introduction being ‘The Tedel Family and the Deixman Family abandoning past grievances to gather and discuss leaving Aesces, which was no longer suitable for Elf survival’, Hill might have laughed at his humor.

However, Tedel?

Hill felt like he had seen or heard this Elf surname somewhere.

He pondered deeply… Skipping Toril’s Elven Royal Family, they didn’t have surname this short.

Nobles, and it should be nobles he had interacted with… No, not from Toril either.

Wait! He finally recalled!

The fool Elven God King Westaria’s newly married queen seemed to be named… Trenna Teder.

Hmm?

Hmm hmm?

Although Teraxil had a massive time difference with the outside world, the time when the Elven God King entered the world… must have been tens of thousands of years ago!

Back then, Rose was still called Aroshi, wasn’t she?

Otherwise, how could she have known Westaria’s identity and background!

Hill couldn’t help but draw a question mark in his mind… Did Westaria secretly bring in Elves from outside later on?

He always felt something was off at that time… Those years, the memories constantly spilled from the Divine Fire of the Moon Elves Huntress Goddess left in his Mental Sea: like the shoddy tree-like spaceship when the Elves landed in Teraxil.

The spaceship formed into the Forest of the Elves when landed, was a bit underdeveloped initially, all crooked-necked trees.

Even after tens of thousands of years, there wasn’t a lush jungle… The Elf Queen was always wanting an Earth Bear, just to use their Divine Blood to nourish the forest.

This should have also been from Westaria’s intention, but they themselves didn’t dare openly do this since, although the Huntress Goddess was foolish, she wasn’t intellectually deficient.

The Earth Bear wasn’t as easy to catch as the Elves thought.

Then, as the Forest began to flourish after the Elves and the God of Nobility jointly tempted the Spring Water to fall and hooked up with the Bottomless Abyss.
