Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1685: Chapter 262: Between the Undead Tribe, Are They Enemies or Friends?

Rose went to Stelter Castle to stir things up, and Hill actually had long forgotten about it.

So when ’Snow Cloud Peak’ timidly asked him if there was a way to get some truth out of Rose’s mouth, he was stunned and couldn’t help asking: "Uh... That weapon back then, isn’t it still hidden in Stelter Castle?"

Then he couldn’t help looking outside: "If Aesces went looking, um... wouldn’t she go directly to Rose?"

"There’s also the possibility of not finding it." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said very calmly, "I think if she had found it, she wouldn’t suddenly approach Lind.

Quietly holding onto a dagger, waiting for her next appearance to astonish everyone, that’s what Lady Rose would do."

Hill blinked: ’Snow Cloud Peak’ is already preparing to deal with Rose, right?

He used to not speak so courteously when talking about Rose.

Just like how, compared to Hill, he respects Lily of the Valley and Windmill Jasmine more because they’re useful.

Hill thought for a moment: "I think you should wait for Aesces’ investigation results before saying anything.

Going to talk to Rose without any leverage can easily lead from the nine layers of hell to the Bottomless Abyss.

If something doesn’t benefit her, the only thing she can offer is endless malice."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ tilted his head: "What if that weapon is useful to us too?"

Hill couldn’t help but laugh: "Do you think Rose needs that weapon? What she wants to know is where that weapon came from, whose it used to belong to.

It would be best to find the current location of that entity."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ covered his mouth and looked around slyly, cautiously asking: "Hill~ do you think this thing might be related to the sky?"

Hill instantly understood what this guy was thinking... He’s worried the weapon was made from some part of Uranus.

After all, whatever Aphrodite left behind, Gaia used herself.

And given her usual habits, making a dagger with a bone of Uranus’ remains wouldn’t be unusual.

The primal divinity in Gaia is quite heavy, not only using the enemy’s corpse for recycling but even repurposing her dead monstrous children.

Hill smiled helplessly: "Even if it’s Uranus, it doesn’t matter. When he embarked on the starry sky in a divinity completely different from the past, he already became another kind of existence.

Uranus could die hundreds more times, and it wouldn’t affect him.

You should carefully understand what deities are.

Don’t forget, William," he paused before continuing, "...exists."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ blinked and nodded in realization: William and the God of Time and Space are similarly formed entities!

Although they’re very close, the determination of their respective divinities made their godly nature grow increasingly independent.

William can even choose his own lover now.

If their relationship was still as inseparable as before, how could the God of Time and Space accept enduring the days filled with public displays of affection?

Moreover, William wouldn’t tolerate anyone watching while he’s affectionate with his girlfriend!

Another version of oneself wouldn’t do either!

He quickly grasped the information Hill provided... regardless of why the God of Time and Space pays attention to Gaia and these Greek Gods, it’s unrelated to his own safety.

Perhaps the attention was more about collecting information, avenging his troublesome past life with a couple of stabs, and performing some commemorative rituals.

Even old-fashioned people might be curious about their former lives they’re long separated from!

Understandable, understandable.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ decided to wait for Aesces before determining the next steps.

However, while bidding a friendly farewell to Hill, he couldn’t resist turning back at the door to ask: "Aesces, um... "

Hill interrupted his hesitant query with a sigh: "The River of Fate is still under his control! Just taking another careful look is all.

Moreover, deities sometimes simply don’t think about it—their memories are always intact, and he sure can describe things to you clearly."

’Snow Cloud Peak’s two points of inquiry were swiftly answered by Hill, leaving him looking awkward as he nodded and slipped out the door.

Hill sighed lightly, then abruptly realized one thing... What does this mean? Why come to him for a strategy against Rose?

What Hill knows, wouldn’t William know?

Shaer definitely understands Rose better than he does, right?

What’s this kid actually trying to probe into!

Confused, Hill tilted his head and thought for a while, still unable to unravel that layer of relationships.

Is he suspecting how Rose feels about him?

He and Rose don’t share any blood ties, right?

No, they don’t, right?

In his family, that grandmother, counting back several generations... the prince who married Grandpa Haiweirsen’s daughter, his biological mother was that Elf Queen who messed up and got herself dethroned, that’s right!

Then their child married into some big Moon Elf family... Um... how could it be such a coincidence?

At that time, the first Elf Queen Camilla transformed into just stepped down, and the second one, who bore children for the Elven God King, just ascended the throne... eager to add luster to her position.

Otherwise, her foolish son wouldn’t have offered himself up to seduce a bear elf.

From that bloodthirsty battle between ex-husband and ex-wife, Hill could tell that the Elf Prince didn’t have any respect for Virginia at all... Never mind, let’s not talk about unpleasant things.

During that period, even if Rose wanted to stir things up in the Forest of the Elves herself, creating some sort of avatar, it wouldn’t have been the turn of the completely idiotic Moon Elf family.

Hill quickly shook off the inexplicable speculations from his mind... He absolutely couldn’t think that way.

Otherwise, his crow’s mouth, along with that dog’s mouth, would surely make him regret it endlessly.

People, after all, are better off living in the present.

So, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ must have come to ask him because they didn’t want to provoke the God of Time and Space!

Hill silently nodded, gulping down the mint soda on the table.

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

Mobi Chenxin squatted on the city wall at the intersection of two rings, looking down at his tablet with a solemn face, full of complexity in his heart.

Having finally found him, Lucimar couldn’t help but stop in his tracks... Could it be that their battle went terribly wrong this time, seeing the otherwise carefree Undead Tribe looking so tense?

However, the Undead Tribe rarely returns through that Dimensional Gate, whether in victory or defeat, in the end, they always... ah, as they put it, use the passive return technique.

Even the last time, when they got too excited and cleared out the entire Moon Clan camp, to avoid wasting the energy reserve of the Dimensional Gate, they directly rushed into Eosca’s temple.

Even if the God of Portals played dumb, he couldn’t play dead!

In the end, he had to personally send them back.

Lucimar didn’t even know who to pity when he learned about this.

Logically, the Undead Tribe, willing to die back to save money, is quite pitiful... But Lucimar clearly remembers the price of some exquisite Alchemy home furnishings that Mobi Chenxin purchased for his house a few days ago, enough for this gate to be used a hundred and eighty more times.

And his family, the Black and White Path, before local merchants who were selected could find a stable trade route, had always been operating at a loss.

After all, the city trading tax that should have been collected from family members, Mobi Chenxin also set to the lowest level, and he did not charge any toll for this energy-consuming Dimensional Gate.

If they weren’t people from another world, Lucimar would surely think that this Clan Leader is a madman.

A lord, being able to not exploit his subjects, is already a saint-like existence, let alone spending his own money to support them... Although their general store has always been selling goods, with so few people, the money they make doesn’t even cover the cost of that automatic selling smart device.

You know, this is a powerful tool that, once the list is entered, can dispatch goods in large quantities from the warehouse!

If his Alchemy skills were any good, he would have wanted to study it!

Oh well~

So far, most of Black and White Path’s expenses are solely funded by Mobi Chenxin, even the bonuses he sends daily to family members with outstanding military exploits could buy two more sets of furniture.

Therefore, that God of Portals, Eosca, who had to use a beautifully crafted statue with added divine power to send these Undead back, indeed made Lucimar have to pay a bit of sympathy.

However, that little sympathy absolutely couldn’t compare to discovering the possibility that the Undead Tribe might lose... Lucimar really likes his current life and definitely doesn’t want any unexpected events.

He steadied himself and walked up to the city tower with a serious face.

"Why do you look so serious? Did something happen?"

Lucimar almost thought he was the one who asked that, but sadly, it was indeed Mobi Chenxin asking him.

"I’m fine, it’s you... What are you doing here?" He had already realized, maybe he was overthinking.

"Old Dog advised me to find a way to observe Rose’s recent moves... But how can I observe?

She doesn’t even come outside now.

I’m not sure if she’s still around." Mobi Chenxin patted his tablet, looking displeased.

Lucimar quickly turned back.

"No need to worry, this place has the highest level isolation array turned on.

Only deities associated with the Undead Tribe can see... so, even here, you can’t curse Aesces~"

Lucimar almost rolled his eyes.

Why on earth would he curse his own Main God?

"I see you’re in a pretty good mood." Lucimar couldn’t help but comment.

"Ah... although... hmm, my work is quite troublesome too.

But finding out that even Old Dog has things he can’t figure out makes me, a defeated subordinate, feel a lot better."

Lucimar genuinely couldn’t understand the nature of the relationships between these Undead. Are they good or bad, friend or foe?
