Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1621: Chapter 199: Aesces’s Gracious Permission

The members of the Proud Sky Alliance never expected to hear such conversations in their lifetime... Whether it’s the content of the talk or the people involved, it’s quite unique.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned to look at ’Lu Huayu’.

Logically speaking, it was clear that Road Eunuch was being cautious of him and his members, but for some reason, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ felt a sense of relief... This guy didn’t choose to act in secret but openly projected his plans in front of them.

As for whether Road Eunuch’s caution was warranted... it’s actually not completely unnecessary.

Initially, it was agreed that once the Apocalyptic Boss entered with the third group of people, the highest leader of the city in Cain Valley, at least on the surface, should become this Boss.

He, ’Snow Cloud Peak’, could only become the deputy.

Actually, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ wasn’t very concerned about this, but indeed some in the Proud Sky Alliance could not accept this result... Whether Proud Sky Alliance leaves, or it’s another nobody who ascends, but as long as the Proud Sky Alliance remains, with someone else’s name at the top, the usually strong-willed group does have some grievances.

But this was initially agreed upon.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ didn’t plan to stay in the World of Aesces for too long, he even estimated that when Hill leaves, he would leave along as well.

Thus, whether because of not considering people’s hearts, or to temporarily forgo some things on the surface for not hurting the passionate heart of the Scattered Ones, was a price he was willing to pay.

No matter whether Road Eunuch thought he couldn’t gamble on the Boss’s safety, or truly intended to act as a good person temporarily, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ was pleased with the stability in his rear.

All he needed to do was to complete the tasks he ought to do.

As for the silly kids in the Proud Sky Alliance... this uncontainable pride is likely due to them being newcomers who joined the alliance after entering this game. Though loyal and capable, their disposition was indeed a bit lacking.

Generally speaking, members of the Black Rose Family were the ones who usually caused the most trouble within the alliance, yet they easily accepted the decision for the alliance to temporarily step back in the World of Aesces.

The reason for this was because they had suffered enough beatings in the past, and deeply understood the concept of rise and fall.

Though up until now, the relationship between Proud Sky Alliance, including ’Snow Cloud Peak’ and William, was quite good, whoever believes the promise drawn by the game company would last forever is a fool.

The fact they’ve reached this level of strength without limitations reflects this company has quite a bit of integrity!

But, hadn’t they visited similar games before, right?

Life is short, merely 300 years, yet they’ve seen how interests can change human’s true colors!

What laws can’t contain, relying solely on others’ morality... is asking for trouble.

Therefore, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ exerted great effort to suppress those dissatisfied youngsters and tied these matters to the interests of the alliance and their family.

Yet for someone like ’Lu Huayu’, it’s normal for him to detect minor disturbances within the alliance... The fact he could send Zhu Meili to Bai Nishang’s family early proves how sharp his ears and eyes are.

We all understand these things, there’s no need to state them explicitly.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ eyes curved slightly: ”Every time, I am deeply impressed by your sincerity towards Ambori, and when considering your past experiences, Lu Huayu, you... men should be a bit tougher, transitioning from a White Lotus to a shrew is such a dramatic change that it makes one worry about your mental state.”

Indeed, this matter is a win-win for both the Last-Era Clan and Ambori... but for Road Eunuch to choose to consider Ambori’s interests so thoroughly is really not easy.

The reason he had to talk to Hill, having actually nothing to do with the World of Aesces... Though Hill has a great relationship with Aesces, he definitely won’t interfere in these matters, ’Lu Huayu’ is worried because of Ambori’s interests in Toril.

Agleya indeed does not intend to interfere with the oceanic power in Toril, but she doesn’t have to relinquish those interests to Ambori.

Though Toril’s oceanic divinity is quite fragmented, several deities can intervene.

Especially since there’s a Winter Maiden... Her respectful attitude towards Agleya suggests that Agleya, who dislikes trouble, might suddenly hand over the divine powers related to Ice Sea to Olypher.

Furthermore, if the Winter Maiden wishes to extend her power into the sea... Agleya might even agree.

However, if ’Lu Huayu’ already communicated with Hill, Agleya, who respects Hill greatly, might leave some room for maneuver... Though Ice Sea is basically unreclaimable, above the ocean, Ocean Storm can still be regained.

Above the Great Sea, there shouldn’t be an issue.

If Ambori further uses Aesces to anchor its primary characteristics, even if someone in Toril uses her previous image for worship, she could remain unchanged.

Just like Rose.

The reason she dared to devour mercilessly is due to her spider web connecting countless worlds in the multiverse... and she has released some faithful followers in these worlds of all sizes, with priests leading these followers in daily prayers recounting a set prayer for Rose.

This is the reason why she dares to act recklessly... As long as these Zholar are around, she won’t be overwhelmed by the chaotic divinity and divine soul.

Otherwise, she would have long turned into a real giant spider, even unable to escape the Bottomless Abyss, where she would want to drag everything she sees back to her web.

’Lu Huayu’ returned a flawless smile to him: ”I have always been straightforward, knowing exactly what I want, never misleading my true intentions.

However, being genuinely concerned by you, Great Alliance Leader Snow, is indeed a great honor for me!”

”Yuck~” The ’Old Age Striking King’ rudely interrupted with a vomiting sound in this hair-raising exchange.

She bid farewell to Hill without hesitation and slid along the vines towards the shore... As it’s still early, the elder plans to spend a few more hours leveling up.

After some hesitation, several members of the Black Rose followed her.

”We’ll descend after entering the city.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at the approaching Cloud Platform towards Gourd Mouth and then looked at ’Lu Huayu’, ”What about you?”

”I’m definitely going to the Lord’s Mansion to ask Lind’s opinion.” ’Lu Huayu’ answered straightforwardly, ”Only after his approval will I ask Olypher.”

”You really... are impeccable in human relations and social interactions! Even the order of these steps is so meticulous.”

”Ha~ Anything that tempts me to stir things up, just don’t do it, and that’s enough.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled slightly, ceased to argue with him, turned, and bid farewell to Hill, leading other Proud Sky Alliance Family members towards the vines.

Then, ’Lu Huayu’ remained silent, and Hill perceived his expression seemed to be crafting words for exchange with Lind.

To Hill’s surprise, this Lu Tai cautiously kept his distance from him during their solitary moment, managing to stay silent all along.

It was only during the final farewell that his words became more sincere and warm, but otherwise, Lu Tai truly did not utter a single word.

This guy... seems unsure if Hill is still resentful over the previous ambush on the Black and White Path, so he resolutely remains silent when alone to avoid angering Hill.

Conversely, when more people are around, although Hill’s thoughts might not drift away, his inherently gentle nature won’t easily disrupt the harmonious atmosphere. Generally, he wouldn’t think back to those past incidents upon seeing his appearance and alter the ambiance or bring up related topics.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ was correct; this guy’s social skills are honed to perfection.

Olypher is indeed very interested in this matter.

Of course, he didn’t hesitate to approach Hill, asking whether Ambori, the famous fool and shrew from Toril, could counter Triton, and if she would cause more trouble than the previous Goddess of the Sea.

Hill responded with just two sentences... Naturally, this is why ’Lu Huayu’ is confident Olypher won’t oppose his proposal: ”Ambori is the Main God and Creator of the Shark People.

Sharks worldwide have an innate affection for Ambori and would heed her call.”

Hill figured, at the sight of the sharks and sea monsters battling Triton, ’Lu Huayu’ had already sketched a rough outline for the future in his mind.

Olypher, naturally, would agree, and be very pleased, eager for her to appear over his sea at once.

Anyway, the sea has long been others’ domain, so a little more chaos wouldn’t matter.

Moreover, he and Hill both knew... It’s best to keep the battleground on the sea; that’s the greatest benefit for Olypher.

If Ambori’s arrival leads the prior Goddess of the Sea to completely perish and suppress Triton’s advantage fiercely... Scaret hasn’t suffered any losses thus far!

The reason Olypher turns a blind eye to Ellie is in hopes that she and the behind Sea Goddess might at least harass Escalette?

In the end, they merely feigned a move, with their target still set on the sea.

Thus, there’s no need for him to leave any room for the other side.

However, Olypher won’t actively summon Ambori, merely easing the ritual of sacrifice and summoning by the Undead Tribe.

After all, he hasn’t decided to make the sea monsters outright enemies.

As for Triton, who has just made some concessions for summoning the Moon Clan, whether he will be enraged over the stolen sharks... Well, doesn’t he have the Moon Clan as enforcers?

Sharks can certainly kill a few sea monsters, right?

Besides, what does it have to do with Olypher? That’s your ocean business.
