Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1596: Chapter 174: Who Did Rose Have Her Eyes On Back Then?

Standing on the high terrace, Lind watched the two members of the Undead Tribe leave and sighed softly.

He didn’t intend to say so much at first, but Lu Huayu’s gaze made him realize that speaking hesitantly was worse than not speaking at all.

Anyway, these matters aren’t exactly secrets.

So far, Lu Huayu has fulfilled the duties of an ally... not entirely for his benefit, but at least considering him fairly well.

Lind tilted his head thoughtfully, with that being said, in the short term, Mr. Lu Huayu is still trustworthy, so there’s no immediate need to find Battlefield Lightning.

Although between these two, Thunder is more reliable, and as a friend’s younger brother, Lind would receive preferential treatment there. However... different races do make communication somewhat difficult.

Following behind Snow Cloud Peak, Lu Huayu felt a bit confused. Despite cooperating well, he hadn’t actually grasped the important points of Old Dog’s inquiries to Lind... Mutated Silk Spider?

That thing, as long as there are enough people, can eventually be wiped out.

No matter how well hidden, there’s always a specialized team among the Undead Tribe that digs these things out.

This doesn’t really concern our PVP family!

”Old Dog, what are you up to?” Lu Huayu couldn’t help but ask.

”Hey~ Do you think Rose went to Stelter Castle originally because she was influenced by Lind’s spider silk?” Snow Cloud Peak squinted and smiled, ”Or was it because of that clearly significant Ellie?”

”Wasn’t Hill supposed to meet Rose while heading to the cave where Ellie transformed!” Lu Huayu quickly replied, ”Judging by Ellie’s scale, it should be larger.”

”I think so too.” Snow Cloud Peak said with a smile, ”From the time she exposed herself so... inexplicably, I felt it odd.

That’s Rose!

Rose, who would go to extreme lengths for power.

How could she suddenly so easily expose herself to Lind and Ditte?

No matter how cunning, Lind is still young; you should be able to tell that he’s easily carried away by his emotions.

No matter how composed, Ditte, well~ you can imagine the feeling when Thunder can immediately see through one’s schemes.

So, she definitely went to see Ellie and completed what she truly wanted, played a little with the kids before leaving, without much thought.

Also, I remember the steward couple at Stelter Castle are actually more partial to Ellie.”

”Yes, Lind mentioned that before.” Lu Huayu confirmed, ”He said the female steward raised him, yet prefers Ellie, whom her husband raised.

Though not openly, such subtle differences, Lind, as a child, probably felt since young.”

”So the woman disguised as the female steward should frequently inspect Ellie’s room... She probably had the leisure to play with little boys once she got everything she wanted.

Haha~ I suspect the person we can’t find has already sniffed out the scent and followed the spider silk to them.” Snow Cloud Peak nodded satisfactorily, ”It’s difficult to locate a potentially problematic pretty girl, especially noble ones; watching them too closely could easily lead to conflict.

But finding noble kids influenced by spider silk isn’t too hard, and no matter what country’s nobles, they wouldn’t dare turn hostile once discovered to be related to Mutated Silk Spiders.

Ha~

Out of ten people like Lind, next to none, but among one hundred... or one thousand, there will surely be a discovery.

After all, we aren’t in a hurry.

William... presumably isn’t in a hurry either, I think he and Hill have more of a spectator mentality, shouldn’t be considered great enemies.

Let’s take it slowly then!

I really want to see how long that woman can hide!”

Lu Huayu pondered and asked, ”Then, do we need to keep such a close watch on Basia?”

”Why? Did your people complain?” Snow Cloud Peak gave a subtle glance, soothingly saying, ”Once we return, we’ll give them enough compensation, if changing appearance and name is too difficult, they can even change accounts.

At that time, we’ll provide manpower, resources, money for them to train levels and complete tasks, not just those daily cycle tasks in Teraxil, but also Elf favor, Hidden Town’s Goddess of Magic favor, and even Chult’s Shaer favor, our families will grant them all spots.

Have them endure a bit longer!”

”In terms of mindset, it’s actually okay, they clearly understand they aren’t true traitors.” Lu Huayu shook his head reluctantly, ”But dealing with those Eden people, despite being used to the duplicity, even they find it unbearable.

Tsk~

The people over there seem somewhat neurotic.

Not even clear on the gender, they dare confess, even doing it extravagantly.

They say they are male, yet those people argue as long as in the game they’re female, that’s enough... Were it not for the lack of such effects in the game, I’d truly believe...”

”Tell them to go find Ji Lanyuan more often.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said with a smile, ”You see, although she dresses rather peculiarly, she’s still considered quite pretty.

You see, does anyone among that group dare to act like that towards her?

The absolute free-spirited ones, they’re like indiscriminate bombs in any country, whoever touches them ends up dead.”

”Since you know that, you should understand, they don’t dare to look for her either!” ’Lu Huayu’ said, puzzled, ”Isn’t it said that those kinds of people are like brainwashers?

In this world, probably only the extinction of humans or a return to primordial times could satisfy them.”

”Are you stupid?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ sneered, ”Go and ask Black Rose’s secrets more often, she will talk.”

”Hmm? Didn’t she claim it’s just a clash of ideals, and she only reluctantly cut off friendship with those Black Rose people to help Paintbrush?” ’Lu Huayu’ blinked, ”It’s said that even when Ellie got involved in person, she argued with all her might, only talking about what to watch out for in this world and battles against Black Rose.

Didn’t reveal any personal secrets at all?”

”Back then, she wasn’t pinned to the ground by the Old Age Striking King, getting punched in the chest.”

As soon as ’Snow Cloud Peak’ finished speaking, both of them fell silent for a few seconds, remembering the scene back then, and then they awkwardly laughed a couple of times.

Men hit below the waist, women above, the Elder always had principles.

”Got it.” ’Lu Huayu’ nodded lightly, ”Indeed, we all overlooked this.

Luckily, we found out first.”

If in a while, that woman can’t hold back and goes to Ellie to spill what interests that Evil God... or if she discloses something that would affect their plans, it wouldn’t be good.

The first beauty image they’ve built for ’Cunlü’ still needs to be maintained for at least one or two years.

But this girl actually has quite a few issues, they are just currently overshadowed by her overly sexy and seductive image, but her appearance when she rides a pig waving the Priest Hammer wildly chasing enemies... huh, it’s actually not uncommon.

But for men, when they see her as beautiful, this pig-riding charge is seen as carefree and uninhibited.

So they aren’t too stressed either, at worst they can do another public performance that’s glamorous enough, not to mention a skilled director, they’ve even got a full symphony orchestra!

But if one of their own people could be the first to communicate with ’Ji Lanyuan’, and tell the truth to Ellie in a different tone, there’d be less trouble overall.

Make ’Cunlü’ seem a bit more distant, so it’s easier to compete for legendary status with her.

The reason Luciella hasn’t been completely replaced by ’Cunlü’ is precisely due to her Royal Bloodline, right?

When people discuss these things, even for a princess who isn’t acknowledged as one, they have more fantasies.

Otherwise, even that Goddess hidden somewhere unknown wouldn’t be so well-behaved.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ looked up: ”The entrance defense fortress you’ve partnered with Wenjian, no issues, right?”

”The Old Age Striking King followed behind the Young Master, so Wenjian’s side is behaving a bit better.” ’Lu Huayu’ sighed, ”Actually, you could let us Apocalyptic defend the seafront ourselves!

With Endless Vines there, we...”

”No way.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at him, ”Indeed, normally, you wouldn’t mess around with this matter. But about normal things... hehe~ even the Wise Ones have their moments of stupidity, right?

Moreover, the members of Proud Sky Alliance, they don’t trust Zhu Meili and you getting together.

Rather than letting them constantly worry, why not let the person least likely to be persuaded by you watch over the work.

You see, knowing the stakes, they didn’t even need me to arrange, they automatically found someone the Young Master fears most to supervise.

So, you’ll just have to endure!”

’Lu Huayu’ shook his head helplessly: ”MD. The most troublesome sentries in the future will all be filled by our Apocalyptic people!

Chances are, the ones dying will be from our family.

You... what more do they have to doubt.”

”Anyway, your boss is willing to pay.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ consoled indifferently, ”Didn’t you use that reason to demand double allowance for the duty officers? So don’t complain!”

”凸(艹皿艹)!” ’Lu Huayu’ said fiercely, ”Why do you know all the things I talked about privately with the boss?”

”Umm... maybe your boss is too flamboyant in Toril?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said slowly, ”When you’re not around, his wallet opens a bit quickly, and it often opens... hmm... for parties.

His parties are very lively, even elves and Zholar attend.”

’Lu Huayu’ groaned, holding his forehead... he understood: due to Hill’s influence, the relationship between Proud Sky Alliance and the elves was good.

Then, the Zholar who could attend the Undead Tribe’s party would naturally be followers of Elisui, one of the Seven Sisters... because of the Path of Destiny, their relationship with the Proud Sky Alliance was also good.

Even if their boss sometimes finds a place to be alone, it doesn’t stop these elves and Zholar’s long ears from catching on.
