Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1538: Chapter 116: Lind Is So Useful!

”Listen to me, Lynn will thank you.” ’Perfect Baldy’ couldn’t help but tease, ”Although I don’t remember his name either, it’s definitely not Lynn.

Hill is still up there! If he had the same name as his friend, he certainly wouldn’t have tried to integrate into this world by approaching that woman back then.

How unlucky, he got himself a troublemaker.”

’Lu Huayu’ looked blankly at the sky, with a look of trying hard to think.

”His name is Lind.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ was a bit surprised, ”Even the Road Eunuch, doesn’t know him well?

I thought it was because everyone wasn’t really interested in the tasks around here, so no one mentioned him much!

This is really... I think it’s best to ask Hill first if there’s something wrong with that child.

Clearly, the Stelter Family shows they care a lot about their children... There are only three of them, so why specifically downplay one of their existences?”

”Isn’t it because of noble traditions?” someone couldn’t help but say, ”like first sons and second sons...”

”Ditte is quite a standard noble knight, he takes his honor and reputation very seriously. He likes to do things openly, not without scheming, but not vicious.” Perfect Baldy shook his head, ”As long as Count Stelter doesn’t plan to abolish the firstborn to elevate the younger, he wouldn’t want to ruin his brother.”

”All I know is that the one named Lind doesn’t have as much talent as Ellie. That’s why the Stelter Family cultivates that young lady.” ’Lu Huayu’ raised his head, trying hard to recall, ”Ellie is just an official mage... So Lind is probably even worse.

Ditte is already preparing to advance to high-level.

The preciousness of mages in this world mainly lies in alchemy, they’re more like scientists... those who research national defense weapons, their status wouldn’t be low in any world!

But their combat power is mostly ignored because of these weapons.

Lind’s kind of talent certainly wouldn’t make Ditte feel any crisis, so... I also think he must have some issues!”

’An Idler’ looked around: ”Why are you all making it so complicated?”

He walked to the window and picked up another golden bell from the Lily of the Valley blooming below with two fingers and pinched it hard.

Then another vine instantly lifted, and a puff of white smoke sprayed directly from the beautiful silver flower... ’An Idler’ immediately collapsed.

”Ah...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ slowly opened his mouth, ”I just wanted him to slow down, why does he always think of pinching their flowers?

The last time was an accident, and Hill was around, so Lily of the Valley surely wouldn’t be angry.

Hill can’t possibly listen to us discussing problems all the time, you still dare to pinch when he’s not here?

Really... does he think Lady Lily of the Valley has too good a temper?”

Then he calmly walked to the window and bowed with a smile to the two flower-laden vines waving continuously: ”Beautiful Lady Lily of the Valley, we want to ask Hill some questions, could you help us?”

”Baldy, you better be careful...” ’Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’ softly advised his clan leader, ”In case he sends you into a spider web, but instead it’s a dung pit under the spider web, how will you survive!”

’Perfect Baldy’ nodded seriously: ”Don’t worry, I’ll be very careful.

Fortunately, sacrificing the Idler will reduce his resentment, after all, he was the one who started goofing off first!”

Those with sharp ears who heard their conversation all had a peculiar feeling... The Battle Field could follow the Magic Cult for so many years because they didn’t use their brains.

And the Black Rose, probably because... birds of a feather flock together?

”What do you want with me?” Hill’s voice came from across the bell.

”Mr. Hill~” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ spoke with a voice full of amusement, ”It’s not a big deal, it’s just that, the information we want to know, you might just happen to know a bit of the truth.

So, could you help us clear up some confusion?”

Hill blinked, his words laced with laughter: ”Mr. Snow Cloud Peak, there’s really no need to be so polite when speaking.

Every time you talk like this, it doesn’t seem like anything good.

Even if it’s not directed at me, it still makes one feel uneasy!

Speak plainly.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ remained calm amidst the laughter and chatter in the hall... He was well aware of Hill’s temperament, even if he wouldn’t hold a grudge for their nonsense last time, he would definitely take the opportunity to poke fun at them a bit, or make things slightly difficult.

He said softly: ”Ah, you’re joking.

We just want to know if there’s something wrong with Lind, the boy from the Stelter Family.”

”Huh?” Hill was taken aback, ”Did their family offend you? Who? Ellie? What did the Count do?”

”She has a good relationship with someone we don’t like, and she always wants to test us.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ answered with a smile, ”And that Count just went along with it.

I think they are just too idle.

Also, all enemies are handed over to us, the Undead Tribe, to deal with, so they have time to ponder over such extremely trivial matters!

But no one likes dealing with these small troubles when fighting, right?

Mr. Hill.

Could you tell us a bit about this family?”

Hill pondered for a moment, then directly explained Lind’s current situation, and why he ended up that way.

”Um...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ mumbled with hesitation, ”So, was Rose there for that kid at Stelter Castle?”

”Not necessarily.” Hill couldn’t quite figure out what the Spider Queen was up to either, ”She impersonated Countess Stelter’s maid.

But Lind was cared for by his mother personally, and that maid had a better relationship with Ellie.

I thought she was targeting Ellie.”

”That may not be...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ tapped his finger on the windowsill, looking thoughtful, ”That Ellie, from what you’re saying, should at least be a Son of Destiny, right?

Then she must be someone Aesces is very concerned about; if she’s schemed against, luck should help her solve most of it.

A person like that is very difficult to scheme against.

Moreover, it’s not worth it.

Deities from other worlds might be stubborn enough, but coming from Toril... especially just after being severely wounded, eager to increase her power, Rose wouldn’t waste her time and Divine Power like that.

If I wanted to choose a puppet in a world, I’d start with someone close to the so-called child of the world.

Lind is great... He already has some background, and besides, he has a past record.

If he’s still secretly doing some unpleasant things, will his family immediately suspect he’s being controlled?

They’d probably just think his old habits are acting up again.”

”What you say isn’t impossible.” Hill thought for a moment and agreed.

Because Lind’s aptitude and ability were too poor, he had overlooked this possibility.
