Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Hill had always felt that the moon was hard to depict, especially on such large murals.

If one couldn’t capture the moon’s essence, it would just be a high-hanging disc, scarcely attracting attention.

Particularly when the colors and images below were vivid and intense, it was even easier to overlook.

But in the multiverse, pouring too much emotion into the moon is not a good thing.

Even Hill himself would try to avoid depicting moons other than Teraxil Silvermoon and Toril Silvermoon.

This way, even if he occasionally attracted the attention of the Goddess of the Silvermoon due to his vivid depictions, neither of them would care too much.

However, not every world’s Silvermoon is so indifferent.

For example, this world’s moon... If painted after Glaysia had already claimed part of the moon’s divine power, it’s quite likely to catch this Succubus Queen’s fleeting glance.

Fortunately, mages in this world are not fond of art.

It was at this moment that Hill really understood how humanity had completely abandoned imagining art, only to engage in arts and crafts... Just what amount of turmoil and bloodshed has been experienced, how many talents have been sacrificed.

Mages are originally divided into two factions: the rational type and the perceptive type.

But perceptive mages often tend to have artistic talents.

Forcing such individuals to completely suppress this talent... so, a Son of Fortune like Gilbert, for whom the most suitable talent eventually becomes that of a skilled artisan?

Hill felt a little helpless, but also gained deeper insight... No matter how this world reaches a terrifying end, he is still trying to find a way to survive.

Survival of the fittest, biological evolution in the fantasy world has a stronger presence.

It’s just that so-called miracles are used to speed up the evolution process.

On the lavender airship, the fierce symbol, the vivid presence of the moon, gave Hill a profound shock... The technique need not be mentioned, but that is the moon.

That is the moon of this world.

-----------------

Hill’s contemplation didn’t last long.

The procession streaming out of the lavender airship quickly drew his attention... Reflections can be had anytime, happenings like this are rare!

The first person to come out was a male mage, expressionless, tall and handsome, with an outstanding aura, dressed in a grey robe embroidered with abstract lavender patterns, along with, a female mage in white clinging to his left arm, nearly pressing her entire body against his.

Hill couldn’t help but press his fist against his mouth... That particularly gorgeous female mage wore a fitted gown whose hem was embellished with a few strands of lavender.

Of course, only a few strands, the majority of the pattern was white roses.

But if not someone like him, with decent eyesight and having seen many things, it would be hard to tell that the gown was originally an elegantly intricate monochrome embroidery, only altered by a certain lady’s addition of some purple lavender.

Their presence was so overwhelming that even though Archmage Karmante, who should have stood at the forefront and appeared with a certain lady, was noticed last.

Even Ruth, who was smiling and well-prepared, did not expect to witness this scene.

Although he knew there was some entanglement between Sia and Rommel, he couldn’t have imagined that with Sia’s status, she would commit such impolite actions.

In any case, she should have come out with Karmante.

The Tower of Dark Enigma’s reputation had already been damaged due to Delphus, but upon learning Sia suddenly appeared in Karmante’s team, it slightly softened the blow... No matter how she got there, at least she didn’t deliberately avoid resolving the stalemate.

However, Master of Sia Tower didn’t openly acknowledge her existence... The most important thing remained that ’silent’!

So, their Tower of Dark Enigma made an all-out effort to welcome the third tower master who came from afar, burdened with the last of the Tower of Dark Enigma’s resources, and even faced attacks en route.

By the way, they also welcomed Master of Sia Tower... Naturally, it showed their respect.

The Tower of Dark Enigma proactively expressed their submission, and by the conduct of Sia Tower during this period, Sia should have given them a ’family reunion’ welcoming ceremony.

As for what will happen thereafter, it’s all beneath the surface.

However, nobody expected this lady to completely disregard convention and emerge dragging Rommel!

Moreover, Rommel’s mentor Karmante walked out perplexed at the end!

The welcoming team of the Tower of Dark Enigma instantly erupted in buzzing discussions.

Gilbert’s situation was already causing many concerns, and now with Master of Sia Tower behaving so rudely... Naturally, some began to doubt if Sia Tower intended to change its attitude towards the Tower of Dark Enigma.

Rosero, in the Sia Tower faction at the front, keenly detected the swiftly rising anxiety from the opposite side.

But what could he do?

Clearly, at this moment, Glaysia had already lost control... Whoever dared to criticize her actions would face dire consequences.

He couldn’t help but glance at Aislin, standing behind Ruth with a peculiar expression on her face, and a hint of confusion rose in his heart: Aislin seems to have more interaction with Rommel, so why hasn’t she taken a liking to him?

No, what nonsense is he thinking!?

He should be grateful for the complete lack of connection between Rommel and Aislin!

Otherwise... if two Glaysia were to fight, the ground would be covered with corpses.

Though the victor would undoubtedly be the original, the surrounding slaughter... especially for him, responsible for the White Tower’s daily affairs, his end would surely be miserable.

Sss... what exactly happened to Glaysia that day, why did she suddenly explode?

While Rosero speculated that she might have been conducting some alchemy experiment and suddenly discovered something possibly related to Lansendel... Glaysia’s success rate isn’t high even when she’s fully focused.

If she’s distracted, blowing herself up is hardly surprising.

Aislin’s performance at that time was a bit odd, but Rosero was well aware that even if he harbored other suspicions, he could only think in that direction... he even hinted at similar views when questioned by others, especially Fengo.

But at this moment, Rosero still couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy: Glaysia fell way too precisely.

Falling on the side of Karmante Tower was fine, but the fact that there’s a man there who suits her taste so perfectly really makes Rosero shiver.

No matter who’s scheming against Glaysia, it’s not something he, a little duke, could handle!

He tried hard to ignore the glances others directed at him... is he, Rosero, the type of warrior who sacrifices himself bravely just with a mere look?

Asking him to step forward and persuade Glaysia is a dream!

He’s merely a lackey who always obeys the queen’s orders, ignoring everything else!

Lady Sia, on the other hand, completely ignored the turbulent winds below her.

”Rommel, look, isn’t my Sia Tower beautiful?” She said proudly, pointing to the White Tower ahead, ”My White Tower is also the most beautiful and comfortable place in this world!

How about it? Want to join me...?

”Lady Sia,” Rommel calmly interrupted her, ”I still have to build my own magic tower and the Karmante Tower for my teacher.”

”Why not just let Karmante help you?” Glaysia retorted indignantly.

She’s also aware that a mage like Rommel, who values his dignity, couldn’t possibly not want a magic tower of his own, but she completely disregarded that, expecting Rommel’s teacher to stoop to building a house for his student.

Clearly, in Glaysia’s mind, Rommel’s dignity deserves her respect, while Karmante’s dignity is insignificant.

Even in her mind, being able to do something for someone she likes would be an honor for Karmante.

Once she set her sights on Rommel, he was no longer a student who could be ordered around by Karmante.

It’s no wonder that whether it’s Glaysia or Aislin, their relationships always end with betrayal by men.

Even if they started out as good people, without enough self-control, being guided like this could easily lead to a crooked path.

Indeed, only someone as selfish and cold as Rosero, who has no feelings towards anyone other than himself, can stay by someone as depraved as Glaysia for so long.

Hill narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to suppress his emotions to think calmly.

But he really couldn’t do it.

Despite his efforts to analyze Glaysia’s personality and weaknesses, his eyes, heart, and all his emotional senses rushed toward the solemn-faced, somber-eyed Mr. Rommel.

”I respect my teacher greatly.” Hill could figure out easily what Rommel understood very clearly as well.

Therefore, he didn’t argue with Glaysia about whether it should or shouldn’t be, he merely spoke his own will.

It seems that through their interactions during this period, he has slightly understood Glaysia’s romantic mindset.

”Alright then...” Glaysia indeed didn’t pursue the matter further, only speaking with a hint of regret, ”When I come to you, you have to accompany me!

Otherwise, I’ll mess with you!”

A huge noise from the Tower of Dark Enigma was heard... the synchronized sound of thousands gasping was quite loud.

Rommel, however, remained unmoved: ”Please don’t let me feel that contact with you is a burden.”

”Ah...” Glaysia suddenly laughed, ”Rommel, you’re really cute!”

Sss... Hill couldn’t control himself.

He gently shifted his feet to let the stiff Ruth in front cover his figure, then raised his hands to press against his cheeks... his teeth felt a bit sore!

Of course, what Hill needed more was to suppress his grin with his hands... relying on rationality isn’t quite enough.
