Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1647 - 225: The Impact of the Goddess Descending

In his life, Lucimar most desired someone who could understand his difficulties and pull him back when he was standing at the edge of the cliff, about to fall.

Unfortunately, everyone around him, whether good or bad, actually needed his salvation.

Yet he was powerless.

Can you say Lucy was bad in any way?

She diligently worked for Lucimar, trying to isolate him from all harmful creatures... Even though she had feelings for him, she could swallow her heartache and ignore everything, considering only his feelings, when Lucimar shamelessly flirted outside.

But every second she was by Lucimar’s side was the greatest persecution for him.

Those eyes represented the most terrifying surveillance... all in the name of love.

Lucimar suspected that the World Master of their Aesces didn’t understand how much harm feelings and desires could cause, hence overlooking the obvious black hands exploiting desires.

In Danboro, the Kings clearly leaned more towards feelings with each generation... Especially the one recently dethroned, whose mind seemed filled with nothing but rubbish.

Of course, his behavior wasn’t that excessive, and he seemed to use the families of those women to balance royal power.

But, is it normal for a ruler to rely not on political maneuvers but on women?

Is this some sort of romantic tragedy?

Thinking of the things he’d seen in the capital over the years made Lucimar’s heart tremble.

Everything can be tied to feelings and conspiracies!

It’s as if Danboro was founded on these families’ internal strife!

It’s an insult to the ancestors who desperately fought on the battlefield to bring our country to its current powerful state.

However, Lucimar had to admit that Danboro’s current state had a lot to do with his biological parents.

Especially Great Sage Ismael.

The fact that he chose his mother as his vessel was also related to that Sage’s strange conduct.

Lucimar really couldn’t understand, did Aesces completely disregard character when selecting Otherworldly souls to be pioneers in this world?

Ah... that’s not right, Great Sage Ismael only had issues in romantic relations; when it came to character, he was remarkable in all of Aesces.

But that’s quite normal.

The nobles, and even the mages, didn’t have an easy time before Ismael appeared.

If not for the use of various methods, just relying on desperate efforts on the battlefield, Danboro might not have been destroyed, but the noble family surnames would have constantly changed.

Everyone was striving to survive, no one thought those means were cruel or dark.

Lucimar looked at the swaying figure ahead and sighed subtly: Surely, we can’t blame the World Master, it’s not easy to find a Saint from another world.

Besides, which world would send their real Saint to another world?

So, his father, though a defective product, still had decent intelligence and character... it was normal for him to be chosen by Aesces.

"Lucimar!" Lucimar, in the midst of criticizing his dad internally, shied.

He turned his head and saw the guests from other families being led by the lady who had once entertained them, ’Susu’.

How interesting~ Lucimar couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, they all came.

The methods of the Undead Tribe are truly impressive.

If the mage nobles had always been trying to find a chance to talk to him, but were prevented by Lucy, those remaining nobles wouldn’t easily leave what they felt was a safe Undead Tribe camp.

’Susu’ watched with a silent smile as the two lines of people greeted each other, exchanging a glance with ’Xi Manman’ standing before Lucimar, confirming that the task was accomplished in this period.

Her work here was quite easy.

How should I put it... Windmill Jasmine forever a genius.

All ’Susu’ had prepared, on how to attract other families’ attention while exiting that small family building, wasn’t needed.

She went in and chatted with the Queen Mother’s family for a bit, almost right after polite words were exchanged, other family members swiftly came over to probe.

No, it should be called listening to what ’Susu’ wants to share.

Even Toril’s villagers, who couldn’t recognize big characters, wouldn’t do something like this... at least they would surround the house trying to hear the conversation inside.

Rather than swaggering in the door.

However, none of these nobles found it strange... from their sarcastic words, ’Susu’ understood that it was because a family most impatient used eavesdropping skills on their adversary’s family first, and the opponent decided to retaliate with open listening... then when that family reciprocated similarly, to the families friendly with that family, they treated everyone equally.

Thus, in this mutual retaliation, they elevated their perspective on life, candidly venturing together.

Even though such an incredible event has taken place, since everything happened naturally right under everyone’s noses, these families did not feel anything was amiss and their style became increasingly open and aboveboard.

They didn’t even feel embarrassed in front of the visitors from the Otherworld.

Knowing full well why this was happening, ’Susu’ naturally chose to use this strange atmosphere, effortlessly leading these people into Cain Town... Then on the way up the mountain, they encountered members of the Mage Family.

’Liu Nongyu’ easily invited Lucy, who was anxiously troubled by the lack of Holy Water, to their family’s store district.

The rest simply required ’Nie Xia’ai’ to sigh a couple of times about his sorrow... Clearly, he was so handsome, why did Miss ’Xi Manman’ prefer to have that old Luximar accompany her up the mountain?

The mages, who originally had no opportunity because of Lucy’s strict defense, naturally chose the path up the mountain.

Then they unexpectedly encountered the nobles of the windswept battlefield who had been causing trouble for the Undead Tribe, resulting in their being invited to view the territory of those Undead Tribe nobles.

Although it seemed troublesome, they wouldn’t let a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by, and the mages had no intention of turning back.

After all, even if those territorial nobles heard their conversation, they wouldn’t understand what they were actually doing.

The interests those nobles had in mind meant nothing to the mages.

Any mage willing to come here surely harbored thoughts of becoming a Great Sage.

Aesces has been sealing off this world for so long, the only hope of leading everyone together to an upper world lies with Great Sage Ismael.

The Mage Family of Danboro all received a message: after this great event finishes, Great Sage Ismael will certainly be taken away from the Main World by Aesces.

And that Great Sage, for all his strengths, is looser with his words to his lover and children than his belt.

So everyone knows that as long as a member of the Ismael Family reaches Level 10 as a mage, they can be taken away.

The strong are taken away, and those left behind aren’t capable anyway, so dividing up the enormous fortune and noble titles left behind still brings satisfaction, and the legitimate lines of the Ismael Family are quite pleased.

Otherwise, the Ismael coming to Basia wouldn’t treat Luximar with such indifference... After fighting so many years with that truly legitimate line, it turns out everyone still has to gather around Great Sage Ismael and remain affectionate.

While managing other things is feasible, it’s really difficult to ignore the past with Luximar.

So they simply remain indifferent and avoid interference with each other.

But other families can’t avoid meddling... even Great Sage Finch couldn’t sit idly by.

Being able to bring family members to the upper world is beneficial for anyone.

At the very least, it’s possible to assist apprentices!

Archmages aren’t ignorant about that realm, unlike those naïve commoners who think food will be spoon-fed to them once they arrive there.

If there are trustworthy people to employ, of course it’s best to bring them along.

Thus, apart from the Ismael Family, who are completely unaware, continually spying on Lucy... they’re more concerned about the confidant sent by that woman than Luximar... aside from him, everyone went up the mountain.

Luximar didn’t rush to go up the mountain; he sought ’Xi Manman’s’ opinion with a glance, and upon confirming her indication that he need not worry about missing the chance for this dialogue, he leisurely crossed his arms and waited for those below.

He understood this unexpected encounter was clearly planned by that commander of the Undead Tribe.

Which meant, the other party had means to contact him at any time.

Today was merely to affirm his stance.

Thus... the issue regarding Lucy seemed quite clear to them as well.

Luximar slightly furrowed his brow, watching Lucy rush out of her residence anxiously realizing something was amiss, he silently sighed.

However, by then, those people had already reached him.

Even if Lucy caught up now, it wouldn’t make any difference.

Luximar smiled at the Finch family’s gathering as it engaged in lively conversation... With a few words, he understood their intent.

Indeed, in this world, the secrets one can speak loudly are widely known.

Luximar smiled faintly and was the first to turn the corner ahead.

Then he couldn’t help but gasp.

What is tha...t?

Is the Goddess descending to earth?

He was nudged from behind and couldn’t help but move forward, yielding the way for the others.

Naturally, he also heard everyone’s gasps and cries of astonishment from the heart.

The barefoot lady standing in the golden light... even her silhouette beneath the white long skirt appears to be glowing with golden light.

He has clearly seen this, the most reserved attire worn by the Undead Tribe’s number one beauty, yet... he found himself dazzled and captivated.
