Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1481: Chapter 59: How to Contact Teraxil?

A silver-blue light flew directly towards a bunch of Silk Spiders as she waved her finger.

Although the target was as small as half a letter, she still hit it precisely... the Silk Spiders suddenly fell to the ground.

This was completely different from the unresponsive situation after being burned by fire just now.

”Strange... why is the Yin Fire effective?” Finch was still mumbling.

”Not that effective.” Austin shook her head, ”But indeed it got injured and hid underground directly.”

”Maybe your level isn’t high enough, can’t you ask the Goddess of the Silvermoon for help?” Earth Priest Tote spoke very directly... which earned widened eyes from several men around.

Count Stelter forcefully interrupted this conversation: ”Miss Austin, you should be using the most junior Moonfire, right?

Try using a higher-level Divine Arts.”

Finch then took out a bottle of shimmering potion from his ring: ”Don’t worry that long casting time will reduce accuracy; this potion can accelerate your chanting speed.”

Austin calmly accepted the chanting potion: ”Don’t worry, I won’t fall out with him... Tote’s brain is almost like granite, not something I found out today.”

Tote belatedly spoke: ”Not the same meaning? Chanting Divine Arts just needs...”

”Tote!” The smiling Master of Runes High Priest spoke, stopping him from continuing, ”Could you transform the place we’re standing on into something like a mirror?

Then, Chairman Finch, please assist in casting an anti-slip spell for us.”

”Ah... the sun is about to set.” Finch quickly added, ”I wonder if the reflected moonlight can help.”

”Shouldn’t be a problem.” The Sun God Temple’s High Priest smiled brightly, completely indifferent to Finch’s words, ”At least it can place us in an unbeatable position.”

”But, more importantly, isn’t it...” Count Stelter also joined to try shifting the topic... even though Austin spoke casually, the bulging veins on her jade-like hand proved everything, ”Would these Silk Spiders leave Stelter Castle’s range?

What if they go to the city below, then what?”

”Probably not.” Tote answered seriously, ”Your place has already been seen as their territory and won’t leave easily.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t view us as enemies.

Speaking of which, you’re quite lucky... been back to Basia Capital for five years, and no one at home messes with their garden.

You know, it’s trendy in the Royal Capital to build a Rainbow Garden lately... Last year, Great Sage Ismael planted a sky garden made of a pool of seven-colored roses while making a high-profile confession to his latest lover.

This Great Sage’s taste has always been well-received.

Many nobles can’t build a garden in mid-air, so they build on slopes.

Your place... actually fits quite well!

Perhaps after this ends, you can invite a skilled Earth Priest from the Capital to transform yours?

Look at how ugly your garden has become!”

”You want the planting-specialist Priest to assess whether Stelter Castle is more suitable for spiders or for plant growth, right?” Austin softly pierced through Earth Priest’s intentions, smiling gently.

Count Stelter expressed remorse: ”Ah... Helena actually thought about changing the castle layout when the kids get married... Luckily, it was discovered early, preventing a wedding that might shock all of Aesces.

Alas... I really don’t know whether our luck is good or bad.”

Tote couldn’t help but glance back at the castle: ”So, did you send away Prince Alexis?”

Everyone understood how his thoughts jumped to Danborona upon hearing him... the sudden arrival of this Prince’s purpose in Basia was clear to everyone.

After all, Lady Helena and Prince Alexis’s family had some familial connections.

Even though it’s a relation through marriage.

No one would discuss this clearly failed matchmaking... though Tote tactfully circled around it.

Count Stelter looked lifelessly at the Earth Priest: ”Prince Alexis is quite sensible, curious though he was, he returned to his ship.

No matter what, Prince Danboro can’t have trouble in Basia!”

”Port?” Austin asked curiously, ”Do you trust the people at the port or not?”

”His Highness Alexis’s ship and Prince Scaret’s ship are docked in one bay.” Count Stelter answered calmly, ”So, the three local military leaders are there guarding.”

”Oh...” Austin felt a little disappointed, then swiftly drank the potion and began chanting spells.

Her thin lips quickly opened and closed like two willow leaves, casting Moonfire Technique of varying levels from half a second to 10 seconds directly onto the group of Silk Spiders.

Finch breathed a sigh of relief... Maintaining the protective field was already taxing, yet he also had to assist these folks in diverting Austin’s attention!

Thank goodness, at least the High Priest of the Silvermoon was rational... a rare serious person in the Silvermoon Church!

Though she’s still got to cool down before casting spells, it’s better than peers who leave angrily.

”Damn!” Count Stelter’s curse rang in Finch’s ears.

Finch understood his mood: Silk Spiders indeed died, but that was Austin’s highest-level Divine Arts... took drinking acceleration potion and still needing 10 seconds with a Five Rings Divine Technique, a skill only dared by Ninth Level Priests to use.

Austin was able to handle it so easily because she was already Level Ten; the Moonfire Technique came to her effortlessly.

But the rapid speed of the Silk Spiders meant the success rate of the divine arts hitting them was only seventy percent.

This was because the Silk Spiders were relatively small. Although the Moonfire Technique was a single-target divine art, it could still burn a small handful at a time.

”Think of something, Austin! What can I do?” The Sun High Priest was getting a bit anxious.

If they could only wait for Austin to slowly deal with it... Even if they could provide enough energy potions, the time would be too prolonged!

”Throw Holy Water! Are you stupid?” Austin said amidst her busyness, ”That gardener wouldn’t have the nerve to live here so long if he wasn’t sure of himself!”

”Number 18 will do!” The Master of Runes High Priest spoke quickly, his hands assembling something nonstop.

”Oh... that’s enough.” The Sun Priest rummaged through his ring, ”Where should I throw it?”

Hmm?

Tote?

What are you looking at?”

”Strange... how could there be such a powerful Earth Force in the city?” Tote looked at Basia City with a face full of confusion.

”What?” Everyone turned to look at Basia City together.

”There’s no activity!” Finch said anxiously, ”Could it be that our Alchemist Association has been hit by spiders again?”

”It’s indeed in the direction of Mage Street, but my sense is not very accurate... isn’t the commercial street also over there?” Tote scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Finch became even more anxious... Either his home or his store, the possibility of one of them being in trouble made him unable to stay calm.

He took out two bottles of silver-blue shimmering potions from his ring and quickly threw them at the two groups of spiders that were tirelessly spinning silk on the wall, which seemed to be larger in number.

”Moonfire Elixirs?” Austin said in surprise, ”How do you have those... who have you been associating with from the Main Temple?”

”My father is the chairman of the Alchemist Association!” Finch was breaking down, ”Your Main Temple invited him to renovate the protective array! This is his reward!”

”Huh?” Austin asked in puzzlement, ”Why didn’t they invite Ismael? Isn’t he the strongest Alchemist Master?”

A phrase suddenly flashed through Count Stelter’s mind: Indeed, the Chaotic Faction always blurs the line between friend and foe.

”Hah...” Finch said angrily, ”Are the twelve Saintesses of the Silvermoon Church who must remain pure looking to retire early? Want to replace a few?”

His words were an obvious hint: Your Silvermoon Church should try to see how many of the Saintess Ismael can seduce at once!

Austin finally realized what she was saying and laughed awkwardly: ”Ah! Let’s hurry, let’s hurry. No need to worry too much; with the Earth Force even Tote is surprised about, it’s unlikely to be from an enemy. Perhaps it’s Mr. Belfran, the Earth Traveler, taking action!”

Hill, who hadn’t taken action, gently lifted his foot. He hadn’t actually thought of helping the Stelter Family.

He would at least wait until the other side asked for help.

However, these people... should be people, right? ...chose to dig tunnels from under his house.

Such a thing, Hill fundamentally couldn’t accept.

So, when that direct tunnel broke into his domain, Hill stomped his foot without a second thought.

Only after the assassins below had turned into rock balls did he realize what had happened.

But by then it was too late; the twenty-meter-deep land beneath his feet... within the range of the walls... had already turned into solid granite.

Hill glanced at it twice and decided to let the matter pass... After all, the people inside those rock balls had died at the time, and he couldn’t very well send Ellie a few dead bodies as housewarming gifts.

Then Hill returned to the lab to continue his research on Silk Spiders... These spiders actually had drug resistance!

If they were soaked in certain liquids, whether acidic or alkaline, if they survived, these little spiders would absorb the liquid into their venom sacs and become increasingly resistant.

The process was slow but definitely progressing.

The resistance to fire was the same as well.

Though he still knew the brewing method of Crystal Mystery, these spiders, weaker than the Crystal Silk Spiders, could survive halfway through the process.

The mere thought made Hill shiver.

”Purwell, we need to find a way to contact Teraxil.”

”Didn’t you promise not to summon the Undead Tribe?” Purwell retorted.

”Ah... if Aesces is willing to come on his own, doesn’t that count?”
