Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1694: Chapter 271: The Hardworking Chieftain of the Black and White Path

White, gray, black, and even gray-green transparent threads filled the sky.

The Undead Tribe scattered instantly... Naturally, due to the density of the threads, only those on the outskirts who were there for the excitement managed to flee, while those who could roar a little were Grand Knights with thick blood.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"We’re doomed, Spider Big Sister has gone mad~"

’Lucy’ spoke fiercely: "If you don’t scram, I’ll tear down all your houses!"

This time it hit the soft spot of the Undead Tribe... Desert buildings require special construction, and the Chieftain of the Black and White Path won’t be spending money and effort to build houses for them anymore.

Even if half of them are his family members, it makes no difference.

Originally, the rest of these people were mostly there to watch the show, and when the Undead Tribe realized something was terribly wrong, they fled quickly.

As for those who went back dead, their souls settled down a bit at this moment... Well, mainly because Miss ’Lucy’ already raised her chin and addressed ’Mobi Chenxin’ hiding behind the stone statue in the distance: "Clan Leader of the Undead Tribe over there, shouldn’t you explain to me what’s going on here?"

They made a mess, but in the end, it benefited the Chieftain of the Black and White Path!

But most of them belonged to the Black and White Path, so after being indignant for a while, they let it go... Their clan leader was never one to eat alone.

And other families dependent on the Black and White Path would definitely not compete with the big boss for anything.

Their initial rush forward was simply because they were worried that the Clan Leader would be the only one to get the news from Rose!

Heh, they were just betting whether ’Lucy’ planned to maintain her mortal face in front of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, they lost the bet.

However, ’Mobi Chenxin’ wasn’t very pleased either, as he didn’t want to be noticed nor did he want to come forward to speak for the Undead Tribe.

It seemed as if he sent these idiots to cause trouble for Rose.

What an injustice!

Though he would definitely do it if necessary, the time had not yet arrived!

Besides, after causing such a scene today, what should be done next time?

He still needs to think of even more troublesome ways to deal with Rose, which annoys him just thinking about it.

Old Dog obviously doesn’t plan on helping him in this regard, lately the instructions sent to him were all to complete some task... But how to accomplish it is no longer explained clearly as in the past.

Whether trying to test him or trying to teach him a lesson, ’Mobi Chenxin’ doesn’t intend to yield and certainly won’t ask ’Snow Cloud Peak’ what to do.

Seriously!

For such a trivial matter, he lost a chance to mess with Rose, ’Mobi Chenxin’ is truly regretful.

Therefore, even though he smiled warmly and sincerely apologized to those crazy members of the Undead Tribe, his demeanor remained justified... He indeed never planned for these people to go after Rose right now.

"I apologize, dear Miss Lucy, they’re a bit too crazy.

Please forgive their rudeness.

Well, though it might not sound quite right... They really just wanted to know firsthand information.

You must be aware, the Undead Tribe has a peculiar obsession with being first."

"So, what caused them to make such a fuss?

Does it relate to me?" ’Lucy’ wasn’t particularly angry... She was, after all, the deity of Toril who first understood the Undead Tribe, wasn’t she?

Rather than being mad at the Undead Tribe, she might as well ask Abyssal Will if it could manage the Undead Tribe’s original world.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible.

Otherwise, when Dimogogan, the Demon Prince, and other Demon Lords’ subordinates and schemes were kicked back by the Undead Tribe, Abyssal Will would have acted long ago.

Rose was also well aware of this, so even when things got messy due to the Undead Tribe, she could still join their ranks with a smile.

If you can’t beat them, join them, just a survival law for these evil deities.

During the time squatting behind the stone, ’Mobi Chenxin’ had already asked ’Snow Cloud Peak’ how much he could share with Rose, so his response now was straightforward: "Ah, shouldn’t the wise Spider Queen have guessed something?

It’s the item you wanted from Basia Castle, we’ve found some clues, so we want to understand why you want it and how you discovered it.

After all, it was a matter from 20 years ago."

"Ah..." ’Lucy’s’ tone carried a hint of regret, "Did it end up in your hands?

Really, I quite wanted to get it myself."

Where did you find it, and why were you able to find it before me?

Clearly, there’s no one from your side in Stelter Castle!

However, you’re asking like this... Could it be different from what I’m thinking, unrelated to the thread and chaos?"

There are still Rose’s eyes in Stelter Castle, ’Mobi Chenxin’ didn’t find it strange at all. He also understood it wasn’t easy to get some useful words from this lady... look at this pile of nonsense.

The most important sentence was still trying to get intelligence from him, without even willingly mentioning her real target was that dagger, having to wait for ’Mobi Chenxin’ to give her a definitive answer.

Knowing full well that if the Undead Tribe knew what she was looking for, they could immediately connect it to Lind, at most there’s a one-in-ten-million chance the Undead Tribe found something other than the weapon she seeks, yet Rose remained tight-lipped about mentioning the dagger.

For such a Rose, those fools still think they can eavesdrop on the truth by gathering together and peeking over the wall?

Recently, have they been fighting until their brains and lives are left in Eosca’s Temple?

Although he didn’t mention it either.

But over there at ’Snow Cloud Peak’ it seems that since the Lord of Dawn wouldn’t just issue tasks as if it was settled, they didn’t intend to hide this from the well-informed Rose.

After all, Lansendel always thought of himself as open and aboveboard, with a flamboyant style of conduct.

’Mobi Chenxin’ just didn’t want to appear too straightforward in front of ’Miss Ruth’... He’d rather let the Spider Queen think she needs to be a bit scheming with him than let her feel that as the Chieftain of the Black and White Path, tsk~ he’s easy to handle.

Aesces, even though it’s so different from the past worlds, Rose ended up being the first Toril Deity they encountered.

Really... her old lady’s spider web seems always to be hanging wherever there are elves, regardless of now or the past.

’Mobi Chenxin’ genuinely worried that if Rose thought of him as an easy target, then in a new world in a new encounter, he might end up seeing the Spider Queen before Hill does... The key issue is, he might not even recognize her then.

He didn’t have nerves as sharp as Hill, nor such a fortunate gaze. If he gets deceived into a fool, then what?

Would the Snow Old Dog admit a dumb dog as his kind?

So the Chieftain of the Black and White Path said slowly, "Ah, sometimes, even deities may overlook what they deem useless!

We, the Undead Tribe, have an interesting saying: ’You can’t see the true face of Lushan, only because you are in the mountain.’"

’Ruth’ showed a fleeting confusion, but that’s the greatest advantage of deities... She can recall all those things in less than a second and then explore them bit by bit.

And at this moment, after saying that, ’Mobi Chenxin’s’ slightly blinking eyelashes just lowered, not yet lifted again.

"That maid, is there something wrong with her Mental Sea?"

"Could it be memory lock?"

"Hmm... such strange loyalty."

"Are you saying this method gravely harms that housekeeper?"

"Her usual behavior is very normal, indicating she’s not completely forgetting but rather repeatedly locking her memories, right?" ’Ruth’ slightly smiled, "Humans age.

Even mages, tormenting their Mental Sea this way, when they grow old could lose memories of past and present moments, let alone casting spells.

And their outcomes mostly destroy due to failed spells... Boom~

A shadow assassin... huh~

She might forget who she is."

"Alzheimer’s, huh?" ’Mobi Chenxin’ mumbled, "Anyway, by then, it would be someone else’s problem."

’Ruth’ instantly understood his point and understood in the world of the Undead Tribe, such people were cared for properly, she couldn’t resist laughing, "Human eyes can’t see useless tools."

’Mobi Chenxin’ glanced at the Spider Queen, inwardly having to agree with her words... even their own children when deemed useless would be sent away, at most given some decent treatment.

A housekeeper no different from a tool, what more could there be?

Of course, the nobles would generously provide money and goods, letting her leave in style.

However, a sent-back elder needing care, the money was surely left for the family... dependent on the conscience of children and husband, that’s unpredictable.

Of course, Rose’s thoughts always excluded emotional elements, starting from the worst point. ’Mobi Chenxin,’ a child growing up happily even if he understood the ’inescapable,’ for him, it was just a breeze passing by his ear, not worth attention.

’Ruth’ naturally saw through his demeanor... although she couldn’t see the Soul Light of the Undead Tribe, most people’s unsubtle expressions could be slightly analyzed.

Such skills she was very adept at.

But using it to observe the Undead Tribe was actually a waste of time, those people’s serious matters in their heads were completely different from her usual type, and they could change at any time.

Even after speaking so clearly, Rose still refused to say outright what she was looking for, she merely sighed softly with an air of helplessness, "Next time, I need to remember that too gentle approaches lead to mistakes."

’Mobi Chenxin’ persistently refrained from rolling his eyes... Rose dares to say this, only if Coron dares to listen!

Who knows, whether the Father of Elves in the Starry Sky would slip and cut somewhere else upon hearing this sentence.
