Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1646: Chapter 224:

The ‘Magic Sword,’ sluggish in its movements, had no intentions of leaving and only wanted to join in a grand performance, but was kicked into the sea by ‘an Idler.’

Unfortunately, although the ‘Magic Sword’ often had bad luck, it made him particularly clever… So even though the Idler wanted to stay, he was promptly dragged down by the shield thrown onto him.

‘Cunlü’ nodded with satisfaction: “I knew those two are always strong at mutual destruction.”

‘Hard Wind’ sighed heavily… When the Idler played tricks on others, he was really useful, but wasn’t this guy mainly tricking the two of them?

If it weren’t for the ‘Old Age Striking King’ and ‘Cunlü’ having deep sisterly affection, sharing much of the pain for her… Truly, ‘Hard Wind’ felt they could raise another Duke couple.

He looked back at ‘Universal Sky Net,’ whose curious face stared downward, not even reacting to what he should be doing, feeling strangely cheerful… Though his child was clumsy, his child was well-behaved!

‘Hard Wind’ would rather have one who followed a command with an action, than a disciple quicker than a Husky.

Someone like ‘an Idler,’ should be there to torment the Old Dog~

Fox Dog and Husky are such a perfect match!

How did his wife take him in?

Completely ignoring the fact that they, as a couple, were too clever and capable to want a shifty disciple, that’s why they specially found ‘Honest Man’ ‘Hard Wind’ in secret ridicule.

‘Cunlü’ glanced over: “Sky Net, sit beside that large stone, holding your long sword in hand… Not the one with high damage, I remember you have one made particularly extravagant?

The sword hilt looks like wings, and the sword handle is inlaid with large chunks of Sapphire.”

‘Universal Sky Net’ rummaged through the bag, found the long sword: “This is a ceremonial sword! Usually used for adding some BUFF.”

“Never mind what it’s for… Just change it in case of an actual fight.” ‘Cunlü’ pointed at the one-meter-high oval-shaped stone, “Sit, one foot stepped on the high ground, body slanted a bit, leaned against the back stone, the long sword rested against his chest, one hand loosely grasping.

Perfect, just like that, unless it gets tense, you remain expressionless and just watch.

If you can’t resist laughing, remember to cover your face with the other hand, mimic my movements, yes… That’s better, although it’s fully covered, it looks sinister.

Tsk~ Watching more idol dramas isn’t entirely meaningless, right?

So… Truly a villain!

I must record this, tsk, Sky Net, shut your mouth, don’t speak!

Keep the atmosphere and don’t ruin it.”

“Sky Net wanted to tell you, Xi Manman and Lucimar will arrive after another turn, our Silent Barrier must be lifted.” ‘Hard Wind,’ already tidied up, lightly reminded.

‘Cunlü’ leapt instantly onto a semi-circular rock protruding toward the coast at the cliff edge… Her Pea Vine had long clung and grown upon this rock… Skillfully, she placed her golden Spring Water on the sea surface.

Then she planted two rows of golden Sunflowers around that big stone.

The golden Sunflowers rapidly grew, blooming brightly, encircling the rocks and making her, dressed in a white gauze skirt, seem as though she tread upon golden suns.

A Priest of the Goddess of Agriculture, besides the Harvest Spring, can also choose specific plants to enhance and summon at will.

The number depends on God’s favor and one’s ability.

‘Cunlü’ naturally belonged to the highest tier of the Undead Tribe’s agrarian line, then as a member of the Black Rose, she received many special BUFFs.

For example, plants.

Ordinary agrarian priests can only summon agriculture-related plants.

Her privilege could increase slightly… To summon plants for wider cultivation, even if they weren’t used in daily necessities and living, she could still call for them.

That is, they must have been hand-planted by her, and their kind in that place aren’t wild.

For others, this might be difficult.

But starting from following Hill planting many lands, members of the Black Rose Family found it a breeze!

So, Pea Vine is merely ‘Cunlü’s simplest summoned plant… This kind helps the priest with flexible positioning, something every agrarian priest typically chooses.

It’s just that what others summon doesn’t grow as well as the Black Rose Family’s.

She wasn’t planting earlier because in the preceding time, they had just buried the rotten fish meat exchanged with Shark-head under the stone.

So it needed time to contaminate the soil.

Otherwise, why keep ‘an Idler’ there?

Could it be blood pressure so low they needed raising? Just looking caused a belly full of anger!

The rotten Sea Monster meat, this cursed thing, ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ had long requested them to test… To verify if the aura was from the Abyss or Hell, or even a local Evil God, they spent quite some time on experiments.

Sunflowers were initially utilized… First, they had to confirm the rotten meat was indeed evil and tainted, then determine precisely how much of this fish meat could contaminate the earth.

And the sunflowers that Hill had created were the best experimental tools… If there was one pound less rotting meat buried in the ground, they wouldn’t bloom.

At this moment, it served as the perfect stage for her.

Luximar followed behind ‘Xi Manman’ with a smile, climbing slowly towards the mountain peak.

Initially, he hadn’t quite grasped this lady’s intentions, but he indeed had a good impression of this beautiful, sensual, and liberated woman.

She somewhat resembled the sexy female mercenaries he used to fancy, but with less vulgarity.

It’s like a young lady who abandoned her noble identity to become an adventurer, indulging freely but never losing that elegance.

Even without the possibility of further development, Luximar was quite willing to associate with such women.

Then, in her subtle probing, he understood that the Commander of the Undead Tribe saw through his situation and wanted to test which side he would choose… If his stance was acceptable, they wanted to chat.

Luximar always doubted that high intelligence equated to everything.

For example, his foolish biological father.

Couldn’t he really discern there was something off about the woman who emerged from the ice?

As someone born from that woman, it was normal for him to be initially deceived… But after leaving her control and entering the Magic Tower for studies over the years, he started noticing the abnormalities in those memories.

Of course, if Great Sage Ismael was truly infatuated and hopelessly in love with that woman, it would be understandable if he couldn’t see through it.

But who would really think they were true love?

The term ‘love’ might be a little meaningless, but it’s not to the extent of being insulted by using it on those two.

Luximar wasn’t without the thought of testing, but he found that he was under some Forbidden Technique.

Later, he figured out that if it weren’t for sharing the same bloodline with that woman, some of the cruel black magic would backfire upon use, not to mention Ismael wouldn’t fail to notice his own son being controlled. That’s why he couldn’t speak about anything related to that woman.

This is also why he never spoke for that woman before Great Sage Ismael… To silence him, everything must be suppressed, not just the bad or the good.

Luximar didn’t even want to call that woman his mother.

Although the body is his mother, the soul definitely isn’t.

And his life came from that body, with the soul from Aesces.

This is something Luximar was very certain about.

He deliberately visited many temples, although the method was a bit indulgent… just fraternize with more maids working in various temples.

No matter when he appeared before those statues with the light of the deities, there were never any issues… But that woman, after moving into the secluded manor of Great Sage Ismael, refused to leave.

She scarcely visited temples, and whenever she did, she would remain indoors for a long time.

Although she used powder to cover it, Luximar could tell her complexion was actually very pale.

Despite all these loopholes, the Great Sage wasn’t completely oblivious… yet he found nothing.

Luximar actually felt a bit hopeless, so he directly left the Capital and stayed in Basia City, hoping to avoid becoming a weapon in that woman’s hand someday.

Though he didn’t know why, Luximar was certain that woman was trying to make him hate Great Sage Ismael, even attempting to lead him down the path of patricide.

However, the Great Sage was indeed lousy as a husband and lover, and muddle-headed as a father, but he still tried to be good to every child.

Of course, Luximar used to resent this father… until he discovered that woman might not even be human.

Then what could he accuse Ismael of?

This person, under normal circumstances, shouldn’t even exist.

In the end, just as he was about to completely despair, even considering marrying Lucy, who was overseeing him… If that were to happen, the woman’s attention would definitely shift to his children, completely abandoning him.

But he still couldn’t do it.

What normal person would let their own children suffer on their behalf?

Although Luximar wasn’t a good person, he couldn’t stoop to such wickedness.

Unexpectedly, during such despair, a major turning point emerged.

The Undead Tribe hadn’t been here long, and yet the evil that even the Great Sages and the Gods, let alone the World Master, couldn’t uncover, was all unearthed.

Of course, he somewhat regretted not interacting more with Great Sage Belfran, who discovered issues with the Mutated Silk Spider that even he wasn’t aware of… Perhaps if he had reached out to the Great Sage earlier, this matter would have been unraveled long ago.

But things are pretty good now.

Luximar couldn’t wait to confirm with Miss ‘Xi Manman’ that he wanted to contact the Commander.
