Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1572: Chapter 150: Danboro Pearl

Flipping down from a blue and white rope hanging over the Cloud Platform, he rushed to the edge of the flipping platform, looked up at ’Old Age Striking King’ of ’Cunlü’ without turning his head: ”This bit of sarcasm compares to Baldy’s mouth? What are you thinking?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ struggled to prop up a sofa chair and plopped down onto it: ”Ah, my fault, my fault.

Damn it, are you all just going to watch me get crushed...”

”Crushed by whom?” ’Old Age Striking King’ quickly turned his head, then exclaimed ”ah,” ”Forgot there’s only Road Eunuch here, how boring.”

”At this time, you can forget about me.” ’Lu Huayu’ sat innocently on a waterbed.

”Mr. Lu Huayu, brother Ditte, will there be danger?” Lind’s voice floated from within a water ball, ”Outside seem to be many enemies... and then, you...”

”Don’t worry, that Ellie made sure they couldn’t harm Ditte.” ’Lu Huayu’ turned to reassure him, ”Although, maybe you don’t want to hear this, but those monsters won’t actively attack him either.

The ones at risk are your brother’s knights.”

”Hmm? Even Leif and them aren’t exceptions?” Lind suddenly raised his head, grabbing the water currents spiraling around him, ”Ah, it’s our butler Ted’s son... they’ve always been close like siblings with Ellie...”

”’Close like siblings’ actually means no relationship.” ’Lu Huayu’ laughed, ”When there’s a vested interest, they’re siblings; when there’s no interest, it’s ’who are you.’

Since they used to be close, but now none of them are involved, you should realize they chose not to sway like others between Ditte and Ellie.

Of course, they might keep silent when Ellie cozies up to the Knight Corps members... but I remember, according to your rules, subordinates shouldn’t meddle in their master’s private matters?

Anyway, Ditte should know everything, right?”

”He knows, but...” Lind shook his head, ”However, Brother Ditte has always had a soft heart and values family bonds.”

He pursed his lips, feeling a sting... just now when the platform was flipping, Lind thought he’d be severely injured if not dead, almost couldn’t resist the urge to scream.

Luckily, he bit his teeth tightly and didn’t embarrass himself in front of allies.

”That’s true, he is good to you too.” ’Lu Huayu’ continued to smile, pretending not to know that the Stelter Family had long suspected Ellie’s identity.

Ellie’s changes were so obvious that the Wise Ones had long stayed away from her... those who still approached were either extremely stupid or had ulterior motives.

Stelter Family members used the Ellie incident to clean up the young knights who hadn’t moved much recently.

But they probably didn’t expect Ellie to be so ruthless, turning those knights into monsters... who knows what Stelter Castle has become now.

However, Lind is indeed cold-hearted; he hasn’t considered the safety of his parents at all.

Though perhaps it’s because that couple are of quite high Levels, and there must be powerful Crystalline Weapons in the family castle, generally speaking, they won’t die at the hands of several High-level monsters.

But someone who truly cares for their parents would never think in general terms, they’d be full of ’what ifs.’

It seems Lind’s ’what ifs’ are all placed on his brother.

He knows very well that before most people from Proud Sky Alliance perish, Ditte is unlikely to encounter trouble.

Moreover, the current battle situation is in their favor... ’Cunlü’ is still provoking with vigor!

”Old Dog.” ’Qiuqiu’ slid down a rope... she timely cast a Spell to stick herself onto the Cloud Platform, ”You... I remember Shaer gave you an instantly castable Divine Arts, right?

The Whip of the Night... even if you reacted slowly, couldn’t find that small box on the Cloud Platform, you could tie us up with it!

Why was your first reaction to hide under the sofa?”

”I told you, he’s meant to be a thief~ his first reaction isn’t Magic, but to hide... Tsk, how about blending into the Shadow? Why don’t you use it?” ’Old Age Striking King’ observed for a while, thinking ’Cunlü’ seemed dangerous, but the Sea Beasts surrounding her, throwing Water Arrows into the air, couldn’t reach that high.

Even though some Sea Monsters were attempting to gnaw on that Pea Vine... but that thing’s rooted in the Cloud Platform’s generator, and without breaking the Defensive Shield, they can’t bite it.

”Even Cunlü can find where this generator is... are you really... not cut out to be a Mage?” ’Lu Huayu’ squinted, smiling joyfully.

”Why should I care about Professional Skills?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ rolled his eyes, ”Even if I play Defensive Knight, I’d still be the first to die... in any fight, when am I not the first target?

Who among our enemies doesn’t set me as the focus?

Since I’m going to die anyway, why not make it look the best?

Huh?

A White Robe Mage with the elegance of snow, how suitable for someone as wise as me!”

”What are you saying?” The pot of Windbell Grass on the Cloud Platform, which was in perfect condition and unaffected, suddenly transmitted Hill’s voice.

”Hill?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ immediately ran over, ”Is there something?”

”Ellie is still alive, no, her Soul hasn’t been completely devoured, only suppressed.” Hill said calmly, ”Aesces intends to say that what’s in her is just a split soul.

He wants to find out where the mastermind is, so he can’t let her die too thoroughly for now.

I asked him to inquire if you know anything, but it seems he had some agreement with William not to contact you directly.

So, I’m asking for him.”

”Oh~” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ scratched his head, ”Actually, I only have a bit of clues.

Hill probably isn’t interested in those trivial matters among this world’s Nobles, otherwise, you’d also find it odd.

Like that Danboro Pearl, Luciella.”

Lind abruptly turned to look at him: ”Her? What about her?

Luciella is the former King’s illegitimate daughter, but besides her beauty, she really has no other abilities!

Otherwise, as long she could become an Official Professional, even as an illegitimate daughter, she would be added to the lineage, becoming a collateral member of the Royalty.”

Lind could hardly believe his ears: ”How is this possible?

If no Nobles marry her after coming of age, she could become the plaything of some old man!

Even... if the former King hadn’t been deposed, he would’ve...”

”Ah...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ shook his head, ”Royal Nobility, really... is wicked everywhere.

But, she does have issues.

You haven’t noticed, probably never gathered statistics on Danboro’s cities and towns.”

Lind blinked, his large eyes couldn’t help but squint at the Commander of the Undead Tribe, who had just been betrayed by some of his subordinates... how could someone like this know nothing about the betrayal?

So, all he and Ditte did during this time, were they all within this ’Snow Cloud Peak’s calculations?

”Can you hurry up and clarify? Old Dog.” ’Old Age Striking King’ looked displeased at ’Snow Cloud Peak’, ”Nobody cares if you’re constipated, just let it out!”

”What’s the rush!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ looked helpless, ”Our Defensive Shield, those guys, will take a few hours to break, and will need to call even more people.

Ha~ the more they come, the better.

If they’re not red-named, how can we retaliate?”

’Old Age Striking King’ pouted in dissatisfaction... she couldn’t stand just watching others enjoy.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ spread his hands, ”I don’t understand your world’s rules, but I know that usually, villages have village belles, towns have town beauties; those who haven’t seen the supposed First Beauty, the most beautiful in their eyes would always be the most beautiful girl they could see.

Usually, when young people praise beauties, even if they mention the First Beauty, they’ll definitely say, my dear, in my eyes, you are more beautiful than any Danboro Pearl.”
