Surviving The Fourth Calamity

”You’re really good to Road Eunuch, your first reaction wasn’t even thinking Ambori truly loves him,” said ’Qiuqiu,’ who was two rows away from them but still had sharp ears.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ gave her a surprised look, then turned to inspect his own line before asking seriously, ”Did I see it wrong, or when did you become the Magic Cult’s ambassador to the Black Rose?”

”Ah...” ’Qiuqiu’ answered calmly, ”You can’t just say something so sour just because I’m lucky and nimble, didn’t fall into a hole, and didn’t roll down the hill.

Plus, aren’t you blind, can’t you see the girls from Wenjian are here too?”

Actually, the row where ’Old Age Striking King’ was located was more like a gathering of girls with special attributes from each family, rather than a special row for the Black Rose.

At first, a few nimble girls must have entered the hall, and once they saw ’Old Age Striking King’s Mushroom House, they naturally stood over there.

There’s no choice; though Hill sold quite a few Mushroom Houses back in the day, it’s rare to find one like ’Old Age Striking King’s, which is small on the outside and exquisitely detailed inside.

Others’ Mushroom Houses, when put out, can’t occupy just one row like this cute pink mushroom does.

It’s also because of the fame of this pink mushroom’s owner that most of the men, including the lucky few from the Black Rose, chose to form a separate line.

As for why these girls headed straight for this little house...while they only need a thought to change clothes, the overly realistic environment prevents some meticulous girls from creating a light and fog show here to switch outfits directly.

So many girls are quite eager for Hill to sell similar houses again.

Though they know it’s a slim hope.

Hill doesn’t need to work hard for money now.

Even though many want these items, there undoubtedly is a price range.

For Hill, a 5,000 Gold Coin house probably isn’t worth him lowering his head to work...unless he still has some in stock.

Rather than counting on Hill to take on such an endeavor, it might be better to hope that when Agleya’s Lynn opens that miscellaneous treasures warehouse, he’ll pull a couple out.

Every time they think of that warehouse, the Undead Tribe can’t help but be sure Hill is from the Bear tribe: Lynn can always pull something from that warehouse every once in a while.

But as for what it is, no one knows until it reaches his hands.

It’s all up to fate.

And these things are mainly practice goods from Little Bear from past years...Hill isn’t just about making Mushroom Houses, but also rare jewels!

Even if they aren’t above Demigod Level, there are plenty of masterpieces for those around Level 20.

Then, it’s all up to Lynn’s hand to see what comes out.

But the Undead Tribe isn’t really interested in some things...those objects look and sound like they’re specifically made for Toril.

And they don’t look nice enough for the Undead Tribe to sacrifice their attribute requirements to snatch them up.

Though they understand, this was originally Hill’s way to help Lynn communicate with the world’s powerhouses...but who wouldn’t want something that occasionally comes out inside!

Like the Mushroom House and some rather luxurious Alchemy Carriages.

Every time Lynn pulls out similar items, it causes a small wave among the Undead Tribe.

Only because everyone is still rational... after all, there are other spatial items, they’re just not as cute... they haven’t driven up the prices of these small houses to an extreme.

Honestly, the Alchemist Masters under William have also produced many beautiful and practical treasures over the years, and there’s no shortage of glamorous, fresh appearances, but they just don’t have the whimsical charm of Hill’s products.

Indeed, art always reflects the creator’s heart...only someone gentle and cute can create such heartwarming items!

But even if there are successors, none like the one ’Old Age Striking King’ has have appeared again.

Basically, seeing this pink Mushroom House means knowing who’s around.

Based on this, the first ones who came over were those confident that ’Old Age Striking King’ would allow them in to change clothes.

And ’Snow Cloud Peak’ somehow thought it was a special row for the Black Rose, naturally because he came too late...the girls daring to seek out ’Old Age Striking King’ are mainly from the Black Rose.

The male members from other families might hesitate a bit, but the Black Rose’s male members won’t stupidly stand in a long line when they see their own isn’t as long.

If it weren’t for their team being crisscross standing...the hall is round...how could ’Snow Cloud Peak,’ standing at the end, possibly see ’Qiuqiu’ at the front.

’Passion Fruit’ turned her head, ”So, why are you so sour? Is it because you couldn’t have Road Eunuch but, um, Ambori?”

She hesitated for a few seconds before seriously asking, ”Ambori is a bit beyond my defense range!”

”Would it be in mine?” Actually, ’Snow Cloud Peak,’ who understood what she was saying, wanted to pretend he hadn’t heard anything, but was still rattled by her added comment.

”Of course, I know Ambori must give him some water-related blessings!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ suppressed his emotions...except when commanding in battle, he wouldn’t usually bother with these girls’ trivial gossip.

After all, the more said, the more serious the consequences.

Over the years, he had long grown accustomed to the days when every time an enemy appeared, there would be a new category of essays about him.

But that doesn’t mean he’d willingly turn a fierce rivalry into a sadomasochistic entanglement just because of a few words... Is that something men can stomach?

His past experiences from reading wholesome stories to sensual ones and then onto tormenting ones made the extremely battered ’Snow Cloud Peak’ understand how vast the world is, and that stubbornness is the most foolish.

Of course, nowadays he can manage to ignore whenever he sees ’Snow Cloud Peak’ × so-and-so on search forums, but he hasn’t forgotten the disgust he once felt... Mainly, because his once gentle demeanor put him at a disadvantage concerning this.

If he could change positions, maybe he’d feel a lot better.

Then, finally, he’d be fair in blasting everyone like he does now... Every step ’Snow Cloud Peak’ took to become Snow Old Dog is soaked with blood and tears.

So now the ’Snow Cloud Peak’ can still calmly speak up after hearing such lawless remarks: ”Indeed, the greatest harm to climbers comes from the ice and water on the grass, but that doesn’t mean there are no holes along the way!”

”Isn’t that a trap that can just be removed with a magic wand? Hill hasn’t been that ruthless yet~” ’Qiuqiu’ looked at him in surprise, ”Are we... not? You even manage to step into pits?”

’Susu,’ who hadn’t spoken all this time, finally opened her mouth: ”Maybe it’s because his footing is unstable, so, the wand in his hand...”

”Hmm?” The smiling ’Old Age Striking King’ directly interrupted her words, ”Susu, stop speaking nonsense.

Snow Old Dog’s eyes and hands are never aligned, so his wand for probing the ground will miss the mark.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ said unhappily: ”Why say all this? I know myself!

But can Road Eunuch be that much better than me?

I’m at 50, he’s at most a 60!”

”Out of a total score of 1000?” a male mage from the Magic Cult couldn’t help but ask.

”Then Road Eunuch still has a 250.” ’Old Age Striking King’ answered unequivocally.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ took a deep breath... but in front of these people, he had no room to struggle, so he could only say helplessly: ”Even if he is a 250, he shouldn’t walk so steadily!

Just like the elder said, Hill’s traps can be discovered, but not everyone can do it!

That I can understand for Baldy... but Magic Sword has rolled down four times, why hasn’t Lu Huayu even once?

What skills does he have, what luck does he possess?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ doesn’t mention ’Young Master’, because this guy is swamped with various buffs.

Being lightweight in the first place, now, atop the Magic Tower, there’s Lansendel giving him additional buffs... If it weren’t for Hill mainly punishing him, ’Young Master’ wouldn’t have fallen into the maze’s depths.

So, the speed of his ascent is certainly no slower than the seasoned ’Perfect Bald’.

”Are you doubting that Ambori has found a new ally?” ’Old Age Striking King’ finally understood ’Snow Cloud Peak’s words, ”Hmm... surely it’s not Shantia, right?

That guy’s blessing should be enough for Road Eunuch to avoid pits.”

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

”You guys don’t know? Shaer.” Lansendel, hearing this, turned in surprise to look at the Lady of the Night in the vine-embroidered tent.

”Know what?” Shaer replied slowly.

”Hmm... doesn’t seem like Shantia.” Lansendel confidently nodded, ”Otherwise, you’d have exploded already.”

While if Celene is Shaer’s eternal foe, then Shantia is the eternal mud on her shoes she looks down upon.

If Ambori, who is closely related to the Undead Tribe, really got mixed up with that Goddess of the Earth, Shaer would definitely not be so loving with that William.

Besides, unless it’s really necessary, who would want to deal with Shantia!

The Great Peacock’s beady eyes flashed a glimmer of disdain.

As the Lord of Dawn whose word is as good as gold, Lansendel most despises beings like Shantia who turned herself from earth into worthless mud.

That Goddess of the Earth in Toril has really no friends... this statement should actually be reversed.

Even Celene, who gave so much for her, couldn’t receive her sincere friendship; who else would have any expectations of her?

Even if there are only allies of mutual interest, it still needs to have the ’ally’ character!

Even Talos back in the day had the qualifications to look down on her!

With a face full of disdain, Lansendel was completely unaware of how odd the glance from his friend Hill, who lightly glanced over, was.

However, sitting behind the vines, Shaer tilted her head slightly.
