Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1567: Chapter 145: Flaunting Cunlü, Hidden People

Ditte didn’t really understand the undercurrents within the family, he just sensed something was unusual, so he decided to prepare a way out for Lind earlier.

He even took Lind to the Rune Master Temple that very night to confirm his private assets... From then on, even if Lind suddenly decided not to be a part of the Stelter Family, no one in the family could reclaim those things.

Ellie, gave him a great sense of crisis.

He genuinely worried that the Stelter Family would be implicated to the point of destruction.

Ditte felt that, in times like these, it might be Lind who had the best chance of surviving in the family.

If anything went wrong, he would immediately drive his little brother out as the heir, allowing Lind who had good relations with the Undead Tribe to live well.

Just like Lind hoped he could ”live well.”

Lind followed silently behind Ditte until the first rays of dawn appeared in the sky.

He tugged at Ditte’s hem: ”Brother Ditte, it’s dawn, shall we go to the Undead Tribe Camp now!”

He waved the documents in his hand before putting them into his storage pouch at his waist: ”The sooner we rent out the house to them, the sooner I can feel at ease.”

Ditte turned to look at him: ”You should have heard it yesterday, they are going to face significant danger today.”

”I also gathered that perhaps, this danger comes from someone we all know!” Lind coldly smiled, ”Brother, if we don’t act proactively, what ties will there be in the future?”

Maybe I’m always extreme in my thinking, but...”

Ditte lightly sighed, ”It’s good that you’re mentally prepared.

But, when we get there, I must do what I should and can do, I can’t take you along.”

”I’ll just stay at the command platform.” Lind said seriously, ”I want to see if she really isn’t herself anymore.”

The brothers lapsed into silence together.

”Hmm?” ’Lu Huayu’ was a bit surprised upon receiving the notification, ”So early?”

”Who do you mean? Ditte and Lind?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ carelessly asked while fiddling with some small blocks on the table.

”Ditte said yesterday that he would bring people to patrol with me early in the morning.” ’Battlefield Lightning’ stood up, ”Well, I’m going now! It’s just time for my guard shift change.”

”See our family people once Lind arrives before you leave!” ’Lu Huayu’ earnestly instructed, ”They’re all people you know.”

”Ah...” ’Old Age Striking King’ stretched lazily, ”It’s starting, huh!”

”Where’s Cunlü? Remember to remind...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned to look at her.

”Last night~ Cunlü stayed at Hill’s Magic Tower.” ’Old Age Striking King’ interrupted him, ”As an old friend, she doesn’t need to complete that planting task and can directly enter Hill’s domain.

Moreover, Hill specially prepared several mushroom huts for them, allowing them to spend a beautiful night amidst the meadow with grass growing and orioles flying, deer singing softly around.”

”Uh... Hill really dislikes that Ellie!” A boy who seemed only 13 or 14 years old opened with a smile, ”To help us like this.”

”Tsk, seeing you and the Young Master is like a nightmare.” ’Old Age Striking King’ contemptuously said, ”Is such extremity necessary?”

”The Young Master doesn’t know, but I, I have no choice!” The young man patted his long robe, ”After all, no one knows that I squeezed into the second batch at the last moment.”

”You Black and White Path, are there many problematic people?” ’Perfect Bald’ leaned over to ask.

”Not many.

Most people who sympathized with her left the family back then, the remaining few left are those who aren’t quite clear-minded and enjoy poverty alleviation.

Those who were willing to endure hardship with me back then are now willing to help a heartbroken girl rebuild her home.

Heh~ Do they really believe the Paintbrush genuinely wants to start anew?

Forget it, anyways, there are more people who hate her.” Having changed his appearance and face, even abandoning the long-loved black gold robe, ’Mobi Chenxin’ remained calm, ”Basically, the problematic people were identified.

Hmm... You could say, everything is under control.”

”I’m really curious about your feelings?” ’An Idler’ tilted his head and asked.

”Idler, shut up!” ’Old Age Striking King’ tossed an apple, which directly hit that guy’s head askew, ”Be polite to allies.”

”What can I say?” ’Mobi Chenxin’ didn’t much mind... after today, what awaited him would be harsher than the idle nonsense of this mindless fellow.

He just let out a cold laugh: ”Does it matter to me?

Back then, I’d rather forego pursuing her accountability, bearing all the losses myself, and had no plan to meet her in reality, hearing her lament her unbearable hardship, forced unwillingly.” He chuckled coldly, ”I never mentioned, she once visited my home, wanting to apologize to me in person, saying she just hoped I would look back at her.

She calculated the losses she brought upon me, hoping to compensate me in person.

Heh~

Before she used to seem adorable, now she only seems terrifying... Is that something a normal person could do?

If she returns the money to me, will I then be able to forgive her, even think she’s not so bad?

I’m no madman!

I’ve already sold that villa and moved somewhere else.

Speaking of which, thanks to Cunlü’s help this time, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so easy to avoid her eyes and get in.”

”It’s really... Why would Ellie believe that the suggestions from such a person could possibly be realized?” ’Perfect Bald’ couldn’t understand, ”Ellie, does she actually think that by helping Eden deal with those of us who have a good relationship with Hill, Hill would still look her in the face?”

”It’s just mutual exploitation.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ tapped the table, ”That Ellie, although she has some issues, isn’t dumb.

Especially now, her true aim still needs verification, you all shouldn’t underestimate her... although her abilities might be exaggerated, at least treat it like you’re confronting Rose, understand?

Alright, everyone check your family preparations, before 7:30, don’t let me see any empty seats!”

”Over at the Scattered Ones, we said to gather at 7, but looking at the current numbers, it’s unlikely we can fill the positions even by 9.” ’Qiuqiu’ bowed his head to look at the tablet, hesitantly saying, ”They...”

”Those with a little information should have guessed that something will definitely happen today, they don’t want to be our cannon fodder.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded at the table, ”Don’t worry, as long as we move the center of battle to the command platform here, they will actively confront the Moon Clan.

After all, that’s military exploits they’re unwilling to give up.”

He stood up: ”We’ll do what we need to do, if there’s any big boss we can’t handle, leave it to Hill.

But, everyone, you must understand one thing, Hill is absolutely not going to help us fight against our kin.

Even if we lose everything because of this, he won’t intervene.

Of course, our Proud Sky Alliance is not likely to lose to those Eden fools, but what I want is a complete victory, to triumph over the corpses of enemies while passionately drinking strong wine!”

Don’t disappoint me! My friends, this is my most sincere wish for so many years!

Proud Sky Alliance, invincible in battle! Unbreakable in attack!”

”Proud Sky Alliance, invincible in battle! Unbreakable in attack!” The clan leaders standing on the command platform shouted along with him, solemn in expression.

’Lu Huayu’ curled his lip: MD! Consider his old rival’s feelings! Does he have to shout along?

The clan leaders left one after another.

On the command platform, apart from ’Snow Cloud Peak’ and ’Qiuqiu’, only ’Lu Huayu’, ’Old Age Striking King’, and ’An Idler’ remained.

”What is Cunlü doing?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ finally brought up that crucial figure.

”Her...”

’Cunlü’ wearing a light cyan transparent gauze dress embroidered with pink rose flower branches at the chest and waist, was sitting by the white marble table on the terrace of the Magic Tower’s first floor, feeding breakfast directly with her ’Hard Wind’.

Previously, Hill always sat here early in the morning to watch the people coming and going on the lawn, the flowers, grass, trees, then returned to the Magic Tower for his alchemy experiments.

This time, it was left to the couple.

”Today’s wind is so strong!” ’Cunlü’ fiddled with the fork in her hand, speaking with a silky gaze.

”Doesn’t matter, Hill’s place is very quiet.” ’Hard Wind’ softly replied, ”Once we’ve eaten, shall we go pick flowers too?”

”No need.” ’Cunlü’, coquettishly tapped her lips with the fork, as if her tone carried some hint, ”Hill promised me to pick better ones from his exclusive Magic Garden.

I heard from him that the Crystal Fruit is ripe!

That’s wonderful, it’s my favorite~

Luckily, wherever Hill goes he plants Crystal Fruit, lucky me with a sweet tooth!”

’Hard Wind’ reached to lightly scrape her nose: ”You’re naughty~

Hill is always generous to friends, ha~ ha~” His elongated laughter held an indescribable depth.

’Cunlü’ picked up a delicate small wicker basket from her feet: ”Let’s go, we’ll pick a basket then take some to the Elder.”

”Ah...” ’Hard Wind’ pressed his hand to his forehead, ”The wind is so strong, I can hardly see where the command platform is!”

”Never mind it!” ’Cunlü’ stood up gracefully, her beautiful form inside the transparent gauze shone as if glowing in the sunlight.

Undead Tribe girls have great figures, but ’Cunlü’s can be described as adding a bit too much makes her fat, subtracting a bit too much makes her slim, including skin tone, clearly all are very white, but hers just makes people feel white to perfection.

Her face is not all that perfect, yet it just makes people feel charming and captivating.

Carrying the basket, the lovely girl was led down the mountain by ’Hard Wind’ in the fierce wind, stopping Dieter and his Knight Corps almost in place as they passed.

Luckily, the pain from the fierce storm hitting their faces snapped these youngsters out of their trance with flushed faces.
