Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1573: Chapter 151: Pearl from the Ocean

’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at Lind and said with a smile, ”Normal parents, when praising their beautiful daughters, would definitely say, nothing like the Danboro Pearl could be more beautiful than our daughter!

Even if they see with their own eyes how beautiful Luciella really is, they would still say, our Ellie, when she smiles, is absolutely not inferior to the Danboro Pearl!

How could it be possible, like you guys, to naturally concede when talking about beauty.

No matter how much they adore their own girls, they would say something like, she’s just not as good as Luciella.

The most terrifying thing is, it’s like this everywhere!

Even TM over in the desert, where villagers haven’t entered a big city in hundreds of years say the same thing.

Is the world’s aesthetic so consistent?

Hardworking farming and herding commoners, when they praise their beloved girls, would all say Luciella is the most beautiful?

Damn, it’s as ridiculous as a Duke saying the Duchess isn’t as pretty as Luciella!”

”Which Duke?” Lind asked with a confused face.

”The pig from the Cunlü family.” ’Lu Huayu’ smiled as he answered him.

”Ah?” Lind stopped himself, his eyes blinked wildly for a few minutes before he finally regained his ability to speak, ”You guys... in your world, the nobles have no objections?”

”No matter which world’s nobles, being compared to our Duchess is their honor!” ’Old Age Striking King’ proudly lifted his head, ”Below the deities, the Duchess is the strongest! Hmph!”

”What about Great Sage Belfran?” Lind responded quickly, ”Is he not worthy either?”

”Hill? Since when are Hill’s ranks on par with those below deities?” ’Old Age Striking King’ looked at him, ”You’ve dealt with the Undead Tribe quite a bit, and still don’t know, Hill can personally kill deities and overpower dragons?”

Lind said dazedly, ”I... I... don’t want... to be associated with Ellie... or to chat with her about anything.”

The audience immediately understood his words: Not only to prevent the Undead Tribe from confusing him with Ellie, but also because he didn’t want Ellie to come to him asking for news about Hill.

Ditte also, seemingly never asked about Hill’s affairs easily.

Although they didn’t speak ill of each other’s sisters outside, these brothers seemed to subtly show their dissatisfaction with Ellie’s ways.

Contrarily, Countess Stelter sometimes couldn’t help but ask a bit about Hill.

However, being Ellie’s biological mother, and having rumors of spoiling her children, it’s not surprising she did this, but the Undead Tribe she could speak with were basically those close to Ellie; she later found that doing so only made the Undead Tribe wary of her, and she went quiet.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ raised his eyebrow... Count Stelter has always managed to perfectly keep out of all these matters!

This guy retreated quickly... Snow Old Dog, who knows even the goings-on in small towns thousands of miles away, of course got wind from the Capital’s Undead Tribe about his plans to pass the title down to Ditte.

That’s why he arranged for someone to seek Lind directly... Count Stelter is indeed ruthless to only leave Lind with a Knight’s title! Not even a Knight’s Fief.

Such Knights are mostly conversion points for knights with high military exploits transitioning to formal nobility, and some third or fourth sons with not enough family titles to maintain their identity at the lowest level.

The Stelter Family isn’t that bad... ’Snow Cloud Peak’ sympathetically looked at the child... Hill’s wicked father gave Hill a Baron title!

”I’m still listening.” Hill’s voice sounded mournfully.

”Ah...” ’Old Age Striking King’ laughed awkwardly twice and immediately flipped at ’Snow Cloud Peak’, ”It’s all because of you, dead dog, dragging the story and causing me to speak incorrectly!

Hurry and talk about the real business!”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ silently looked at her, glanced at those little hands with knuckle protectors, and could only swallow his anger.

He chuckled nonchalantly as he began speaking: ”Therefore, I had people study the history of Danboro’s First Beauty.

Before, there indeed were various titles like Pearl and Rose, but they were generally considered in the court context.

Only noblewomen... at least those from families eligible to enter the Royal Palace and attend banquets were qualified to receive such accolades.

Noblewomen have no interest in gaining recognition from commoners.

Until, Danboro’s Crystal Energy Technology appeared.

A future Great Sage at that time, a hot inventor, placed a pearl crown on the head of a merchant’s daughter, calling her the Danboro Pearl, the most beautiful woman in the nation, a presence even elves couldn’t compare to.

Initially, he praised his beauty, this young lady was destined to enter his family’s garden, so it would pass.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, a beautiful girl, holding a giant pearl, walked up to him, asked that guy whether she and the pearl were more beautiful... whether she qualified to become Danboro’s new Pearl, he did not hesitate to nod, and lavishly praised her beauty.

At that time, Crystal Energy Technology had just begun to rise, the whole world was eagerly watching Danboro... including Scaret.

The Danboro Pearl was nearly turned into praise for the First Beauty in the world because of him.

I had someone look up the information. That girl holding the Pearl is the daughter of the village chief from a seaside fishing village.

Because their family found a peerless Pearl, they were afraid their family would be doomed, so they had to take this risk... With the help of a certain Alchemist Master, this family presented the Pearl to the King, and even received the title of Knight as a reward!

What a load of nonsense.

Where did this fairy tale come from? We in the Undead Tribe, even seven-year-olds wouldn’t believe it, okay?

Of course a fishing village can produce beauties, but to produce one of such level, a delicate beauty to match the Pearl, only fools would believe it!”

Lind touched his own face: ”My mom used to tell this beautiful story to Ellie and me.”

He said with a somewhat strange tone: ”But on the nobles’ side, it has been beautified quite a bit... This proves that the King is a good King who rewards merit.

After all, it’s rare for Danboro to obtain such a level of magic Pearl... That thing can help extend one’s life!

So, people didn’t think too much about it.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smirked: ”Ah! Indeed, beauty coupled with interests is indeed the most useful.”

”What was the later result of that Pearl?” ’Qiuqiu’ couldn’t help asking.

”This is the most interesting part!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said with an animated expression, ”She... hmm... when young, because of her renown, frequently visited the royal court, but the then King of Danboro was wise and restrained, didn’t fall for it.

So, she fluttered between the Great Nobility, after turning 40, when her beauty faded, she married a merchant.”

”Hmm?” Lind paused, ”She... was infamous to that extent?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ laughed: Nobles truly understand, the reason she married down is because she had followed too many men.

”Then she gave birth to a daughter in her 50s, and that daughter grew up to walk her mother’s old path... Many people say, back then the Pearl was a pair, secretly hidden by her mother.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ smirked, ”It’s already quite odd by then, yet no one doubted this rumor!

A fisherwoman, no matter how blessed, acquiring a Pearl of such level would be incredible enough, and she had two!

Damn, the Pearl Shell raised by Agleya, even has only one Pearl in a clam!

That is the Goddess of the Sea!

This fisherwoman, might as well be Triton reincarnated~

No one doubted, by then it should’ve been somewhat divine... we just don’t know which kind.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ waved his tablet: ”When noticing something’s off, just go and investigate those Pearls that pop up every 20 years... That Divine Power merely makes people ignore the abnormal, not leaving a trace at all.

After all, there will always be someone who regards their connection with the Pearl as a topic of conversation.”

”Who helped you search up this information?” Hill suddenly spoke up, feeling here, ”Ha~ A familiar feeling overwhelms, right!

Yue Xiaoluo and them also came to Aesces?

Aren’t they the tourist type?

Where... did they get so many merit points?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ grinned... Hill’s deep impression of this group probably isn’t because Yue Xiaoluo is a regular resident of his fief.

”They found a lot of interesting information in Toril as well, All Gods are very intrigued.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ gently explained.

”Aesces already started to investigate on his own; he very much agrees with your analysis.” Hill simply nodded at ’Snow Cloud Peak’, then changed the topic, ”According to what he said, once this matter is confirmed, he will contact William and grant you 10,000 merits.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ flashed his eyes quickly: ”Then, what about others?”

”People involved in this matter will also share a portion of merits according to their participation extent, ranging from 100 to 1000.” Hill glanced at the paper note beside him and read it out slowly.

”Eh... hehe~” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ let out a strange laugh, ”Hill, are you staying in this Basia for something?”

”Nothing.” Hill said calmly, ”Wanted to leave, but you came.

Anyway, just waiting for this God War to end, just finding a place to stay.”

”Then...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ asked smilingly, ”If we move, would you come with us?

This place is more suitable for people from Eden.”

”Aren’t you opposing the Moon Clan?” Hill genuinely became curious.
