Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1577: Chapter 155: Snow Cloud Peak’s Command Center

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled without speaking; he had no intention of explaining to this Knight Ditte just how exhilarating the profession of a Dragon Knight could be.

Anyway, judging from this guy’s habit of examining both cattle and pigs, Ditte and Thunder must be of the same type... To them, a mount is like having multiple wives and concubines, the more the merrier.

However, although Ditte is straightforward, he is not without his own schemes, and unlike Thunder, he’s not unwilling to act, so ’Snow Cloud Peak’ definitely only throws bait without hooking in the short term.

He indeed has some other plans for Ditte, but that’s a matter for a long time later... just preparing alternatives, for now, there’s no need to do anything.

Not hearing anything more interesting, Ditte lowered his head and continued discussing the document with Lind... The realm of the Undead Tribe is indeed very comprehensive.

If it weren’t for Lind’s future as an Alchemist waiting for him, he might not have been able to sign his name.

The sovereignty limitations were just too severe.

The Undead Tribe clearly intends to develop this place into their stronghold, with a high degree of exclusivity.

But, correspondingly, their concessions in wealth are quite generous.

If Lind focuses wholeheartedly on studying magic and alchemy, this is more suitable for him.

Ditte touched the document, seriously asking his younger brother, ”You should see, the Undead Tribe has created a territory that is quite suitable for a Mage.

But can you endure not getting involved in town management and such things?

You should know the great price our parents paid to compete for the sovereignty of Basia City, right?

If you regret it, the cost you’ll bear will be several times that of the Stelter Family... and the risk of failure remains high.

Can you stick to your original intention?

Lind, you should know your little quirks, can you...”

”But brother, compared to these, I only want two things: a Baron’s title and a Mage’s future,” Lind said softly, ”One future I’ve known since I was young, and one I’ve longed for since I was small.”

Ditte gently patted his head, ”Then you must always remind yourself! Absolutely do not...”

”Brother, Ellie, um, that monster occupying Ellie’s body, will it exit soon?” Lind blinked and suddenly asked.

”Even experts at digging out secrets like the Undead Tribe haven’t found that monster’s identity, let alone her lair,” Ditte said with an unpleasant expression, ”As long as that creature doesn’t disappear, Ellie will continue to appear in that Wind Fairy’s body.”

Lind tilted his head and said absentmindedly, ”As long as she exists, I believe in myself; I will never abandon the pursuit of a Mage.”

Ditte helplessly looked up at the sky... Ah, it was the ceiling, and sighed softly, ”You really are... well then, sign it!

And live life well, okay?

If you play mind games with those leading the Undead Tribe, one day I might have to give you a funeral as your brother!”

Lind’s pen moved swiftly, signing his name on the document, and then he said earnestly, ”I know that too, so as long as I’m not senile, I won’t cause trouble.”

The document already stamped with the Proud Sky Alliance and Apocalyptic Family Alliance seals slowly transformed into light, eventually becoming a beautifully crafted Crystal Book... with divine emblems flashing across its pages.

Ditte found he only recognized a small part of them. He looked at it curiously... Did the Undead Tribe really have so many deities behind them?

Lind, however, didn’t focus on this. He was only watching a few Crystal Balls slowly manifest on the Crystal Book... One glowed, then slowly disappeared into the holy emblem of the Master of Runes beneath him, two flew into ’Snow Cloud Peak’ and ’Lu Huayu’s’ tablets directly, and the last one slowly floated into his hand.

Then, the Crystal Book sank directly into the ground.

”Where did it go?” Lind unconsciously asked aloud.

”Aesces collected it,” ’Lu Huayu’ smiled and explained to him, ”Too many divine emblems are condensed on it, transforming that Crystal Book into something almost akin to a divine artifact, and on top of that, it has many divine emblems from other worlds. Aesces would not allow such an artifact to be controlled by anyone else.”

”Heh~” ’Old Age Striking King’ suddenly sneered while staring at the battle outside, ”Neglecting the important matters, only focusing on the trivial ones.

Even their home is almost turning into a mess...”

”Old Age!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ instantly interrupted her, ”Be polite to our allies, okay? Regardless of their rank.”

’Old Age Striking King’ curled her lips, ”The outside is almost unsustainable, I imagine the second wave will be online soon.”

”Have you confirmed that the number of Sea Monsters is related to the number of people appearing?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ asked with a smile.

”Pretty much no difference,” ’Old Age Striking King’ replied after glancing at her tablet, ”Our people estimated the locations for the second wave’s online spots, and we’re ready to tally the numbers.

The coast is the same.

Wenjian’s people are just waiting at the root of the Endless Vines right now!”

Although the Embroidered Crabs of the little guys in the Youth Journey of the Wenjian World can’t show up, they can still provide a symbiotic underwater BUFF, and with the help of the Endless Vines, they can still stay hidden.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded: ”Have them be careful not to accidentally show their claws.

After the statistics are complete, be ready to board the ship with those mud bricks planted with Endless Vines. Your people, Black Rose, have already communicated with the Endless Vines in advance, right?”

”Every vine has agreed to leave with us.” ’Old Age Striking King’ said, standing tall and proud.

”Cloud House’s defensive formation will break in half an hour.” Seeing ’Snow Cloud Peak’ turning back, ’Qiuqiu’ quickly gave him the answer.

”Great~ you’re becoming more useful! Keep it up, don’t change back.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded approvingly...’Qiuqiu’ made a universal gesture at the back of his head as he turned away: This dog says even compliments so harshly.

Everyone who saw her gesture in the hall, including the quickly understanding Ditte and Lind, had expressions as if they had seen nothing.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ suspiciously glanced at them, then turned back to look at ’Qiuqiu’ who was already looking down at a tablet... his sharp intuition told him these people were secretly targeting him!

Tsk~ Anyway, at most they’re calling me a dog.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ soon stopped caring about that strange feeling... he’s long been completely immune to such insults.

’Old Age Striking King’ suddenly jumped out, sounding like they were going to cast a big blessing on the knights led by ’Hard Wind’ and ’Battlefield Lightening’... as the High Priest, ’Cunlü’ needed some time to regain mana.

”Huh?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ stood up, ”Why did people come so quickly? Ink Brush, who did you just message?”

”Cong Huan.” Already sitting cross-legged on the ground, ’Mobi Chenxin’ looked lifeless.

”Him?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ leaned forward in astonishment, ”Hasn’t he been with you for a long time? Longer than Paintbrush, right? He...”

”I once, vaguely, heard, Paintbrush introduced him to an outsider girlfriend.” ’Mobi Chenxin’ said lifelessly, ”But back then, the Baldy’s female apprentice, Little Deer, was also getting cozy with our clan’s people, so I didn’t really care.

But, you know, Midnight, ah, Xi Manman has a wide social circle, she seemed to have seen Cong Huan with Ji Lanyuan during a date.

The places Xi Manman goes to are basically all date spots, ordinary friends wouldn’t go there.

Although I thought it was unlikely, I still probed a little.

I didn’t say much, just mentioned that Old Dog was a bit worried about the defensive shield’s energy not lasting an hour, so send more people to protect Ditte and the others, don’t let things mess up now.”

”It looked like a mass message, but you only sent it to him?”

”Yes.” ’Mobi Chenxin’ looked bewildered, ”Are there still people who would go all out for their lover these days?”

”Stab your knife, he doesn’t even feel pain.” ’Lu Huayu’ said sharply, ”What’s there to think about, if he can deceive them all, he plays both sides, if he can’t, then he’s a lovesick man sacrificing for love, lacking some virtue but he can still call it being wronged and innocent.

Look, what noble clan doesn’t have a couple of two-faced... hmm? Bah... double-faced guys, you don’t need to feel bad.

You should have expected this day when you dispersed the Black and White Path’s power to have some time for flirting.

The power given away cannot be taken back.

Even if it was money from your wallet, just now you don’t want to give it to others anymore, hey~ it’s the same.”

’Mobi Chenxin’ sighed lightly: ”Only at times like this can you see people’s true hearts!”

”Why act innocent?” ’Lu Huayu’ mocked relentlessly, ”Who told you to play the Young Master role for years and suddenly want to do Baldy’s work, and ended up crashing!”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ looked at ’Lu Huayu’ wistfully: ”Thinking of End of the World Romance, was he still your boss?”

”Our boss isn’t that stupid, his interests have always been consistent!”

”Why did Road Eunuch suddenly start showing loyalty?” ’Old Age Striking King’ came in lightly hopping.

”He went crazy himself.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ asked her, laughing, ”So, how’s it looking? The people coming this time are of higher level, have the sea monsters gotten stronger?”

”Indeed, they’re a bit stronger, otherwise, Cunlü wouldn’t suddenly run out of mana.” ’Old Age Striking King’ furrowed her brows, ”What should we do next?

Surely, there are stronger sea monsters yet to come out.

Strange, why are they so eager to attack Cloud Platform!”

”Because...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ blinked innocently, ”they think this is my command center.”

”What do you mean?” ’Old Age Striking King’ widened her eyes, ”Isn’t your Cloud Platform no different from a... carriage?”

”Mhm~” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ squinted her eyes, smiling cutely, hugging the flower pot of Windbell Grass, ”Thanks to the help of Lily of the Valley, they think there’s a Crystal Ball in the pot representing my identity.

If it breaks, my military exploits will reset.”
