Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1653 - 231: Old Dog Always Kills Two Birds with One Stone

Lucimar lowered his head and let out a deep sigh.

He understood what was being said.

The Master of Death, firmly controlled by the World Master, would convey the entire truth to the souls of those girls at the moment of their death.

Upon realizing that everything they had experienced was merely a conspiracy, these girls would choose to either abandon all beliefs and enter the Styx in disillusionment or decide to continue following the Evil God, but this choice was not something others could assist with.

"Snow Cloud Peak" glanced at the clever and quick-reacting Archmage, flipped over the tablet, typed a few lines, and then raised his head to ask, "Mr. Lucimar, I think compared to your father, we, the Undead Tribe, actually prefer to cooperate with you.

How about it?

Interested in moving?

"Lind wouldn’t want me in Cain Valley." Lucimar chuckled.

"Certainly not Cain Valley." "Snow Cloud Peak" raised an eyebrow, "Lind and a certain gentleman from our Undead Tribe have already been locked, and accordingly, Ambori will always stay in this place.

Initially, we considered letting Lind slowly create a manageable army for himself, but he seems unwilling.

Due to certain reasons, Lind fervently hopes to advance further on the path of the Mage, hence his current hands-off approach.

So we simply let Cain Valley and Ambori link up.

You understand, right?

As Ambori’s birthplace in this world, anyone daring to do anything to Cain Valley would likely find themselves a corpse at the bottom of the sea, guaranteed to decay into bone fragments without surfacing."

Lucimar nodded, "Ah, family... truly a word that evokes love, hatred, and resentment."

Talking to The Wise Ones is simply straightforward.

"Snow Cloud Peak" found his own interest increasingly piqued, "But this also creates a problem, not all families are willing to stay here and play a game of opposition with Ambori and Triton.

They prefer to head to the Desert, find that... Eosca and play with a certain deity behind him."

"Eosca, who else is behind him?" Lucimar reacted swiftly and asked.

"Ah... Seth, do you know the Lady of Pain? I suspect Ismael might whisper a few words to you." Seeing Lucimar nod, "Snow Cloud Peak" curled his lips, "The Lady of Pain is a sister of Triton, and Seth is her unfortunate fiancé who fled the marriage.

He assists Eosca and has no relationship with Aesces.

So our focus is to send Eosca packing quickly.

Actually, Eosca doesn’t want to leave either, but under the current standoff... he doesn’t know whether Triton might stab him with a trident should he bolt, after all, no matter how poor their relationship is, they’re siblings... so, he can only persist.

Neither delving deeper nor retreating.

It seems bustling over in the Desert, but in truth, the real target we need to deal with is Luciella, who may have escaped to some Oasis family or perhaps directly to the Desert Kingdom.

Although Eosca would lend her a hand, he wouldn’t get too involved.

That slippery fellow would definitely choose to run first given a chance."

Lucimar asked somewhat confusedly, "But this... me? Me, what am I going there for? I..."

He suddenly realized something, "My father... Great Sage Ismael, has already learned about that woman’s situation and... also has an unfavorable opinion of me, right?"

"When I communicated with Aesces, he mentioned once, Great Sage Ismael asked him whether your mother, before coming out of the ice, was already dead."

Lucimar’s face turned terrifyingly pale, "Is he trying to ask whether I count as his and his beloved’s son? Or a monster born from the Evil God?"

"Snow Cloud Peak" sympathetically cast a glance his way... frankly, when discussing these matters with Aesces, upon hearing the reaction of Great Sage Ismael battling Great Sage Scaret upon receiving the news, he truly felt that guy was purely an idiot.

He wanted to ask William what kind of conditions and character were set to create such a peculiar intelligent being.

Seriously, those romance games specifically designed for girls... where everyone falls for her... are hard-pressed to create such naturally foolish men.

"Snow Cloud Peak" genuinely hoped William wouldn’t make artificial flaws too realistic when programming these intelligences.

After all, intelligence tends to amplify such shortcomings.

"What did Aesces say?" Lucimar surprisingly calmed down faster than "Snow Cloud Peak" thought, indicating a deep understanding of his father!

Such an insightful child, growing up under the nurturing of those kinds of parents and still turning out normal... "Snow Cloud Peak" didn’t even consider his kind of widespread, vulgar love a flaw.

He didn’t deceive those women; it was a joyous beginning for all, a satisfying ending... one physically satisfied, the other financially... not necessarily worse than the flamboyant Ink Brush and Apocalyptic Boss duo.

"That woman uses your mother’s body, while the mark on your soul belongs to this world, devoid of external interference." "Snow Cloud Peak" calmly stated, "Indeed, you are the child of Ismael and that body, no one can deny it."

"But he’s still not happy, right?" asked Lucimar with a sigh.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded honestly: "Aesces also doesn’t understand why he’s unhappy, but he feels that the reason you’re in such a dilemma today is actually because of his oversight.

So, as the World Master, he’s willing to make a slight amends."

"When you say amends... do you mean making me the lord of the Oasis in the Desert?" Lucimar wasn’t quite sure.

"Aesces, the original meaning of this name is Oasis." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Do you understand?"

Lucimar’s eyes widened: "Wh...at, does it mean?"

"Of course, it only has significance if it’s the Oasis acknowledged by Aesces as the Lord." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ understood that Lucimar’s question mark was actually an exclamation mark, so he continued directly, "Those previous ones were titles appointed by humans themselves; he doesn’t care.

But if you’re willing to let your future belong to the true Oasis, then he’s willing to accept your existence.

But you also need to understand one thing, once you choose to belong to the Deities, even if you die in other worlds, you can only return to the Divine Kingdom of Aesces."

Lucimar was shocked and said: "But isn’t this what I want?"

He almost moaned as he spoke: "Rather than always worrying whether my soul will fall into Hell, of course I’d rather give up some Mage freedom.

Freedom is nice, but going to Hell is more terrifying."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled and waved: "Ink Brush, I’d like to introduce to you your future lord."

He glanced at Lucimar: "In our Proud Sky Alliance, all the exclusive territories are dominated by a certain family.

Just like Cain Valley, though it’s said to be the base of the Proud Sky Alliance, it’s mainly controlled by the Apocalypse, with Youth Journey of the Wenjian World assisting.

The Oasis in the Desert works the same way, belonging to Proud Sky Alliance, but it will be controlled by the Black and White Path... As for assistance..."

He smiled at ’Mobi Chenxin’, who had a confused expression: "Because the friendly relations with Ellie have ended and he’s not quite adapted to the environment here in Cain Valley, so our living family will also move to the Desert."

’Mobi Chenxin’ asked with a cold expression: "Bai Nishang? Are you pushing Zhu Meili onto me?"

"Ah, Basia City has completely lost its value." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ squinted his eyes and smiled, "Over there in Eden, it’s quite awkward right now.

The Moon Clan can’t be beaten... The number of the Moon Clan is almost five times suppressing them over at the Eye of the Sea God.

Ha~ They find it hard even to leave.

You should understand, even those Scattered Ones who think the homeland feelings in the game mean nothing wouldn’t go to follow a power that can’t sustain itself.

So, even though they possess the main base in this world, in reality, they have nothing but the name.

As for us, although we’ve encountered all sorts of issues, our initial aim of spreading their existence, watching Proud Sky Alliance’s jealous looks has been beautifully achieved.

In the future, when they increasingly can’t sustain themselves, naturally other families will want to snatch that appealing name.

We just need to watch them struggle.

Given it’s also a rather decent ending, then Bai Nishang and her people naturally ought to be retracted.

But Ellie’s still over here, their family isn’t suited to staying here.

Furthermore, it’s not suitable having Zhu Meili and Lu Huayu stay in the same place, it easily leads to misunderstandings, on the contrary, following you guys leaving is perfect.

I think, Ink Brush, you can understand, right?"

’Mobi Chenxin’ pressed his thin lips tightly: That Old Dog guy is definitely taking revenge on him.

Damn it, he knew that after the Toril incident, before Old Dog even had a chance to act, he was shocked by what Paintbrush did, though he continued to mock him, commanded him to do this and that, but truly hadn’t upset him!

After all, doing so many things in Toril is not without benefits for the Black and White Path.

At that time, Snow Old Dog should’ve slightly endured for the sake of his family members in the Black and White Path being able to keep up with the Alliance’s mainstream.

Arriving at Aesces here also because he had him deal with Paintbrush, he didn’t make a peep.

Ink Brush thought Snow Old Dog let him off considering how miserable he’d been!

Looks like, was he waiting here all along?

Zhu Meili... compared to Lu Tai, and the grudge with Black and White Path is bigger, right?

Moreover, he can conveniently control Black and White Path’s ambitions, ensuring they won’t appear wavering again... Other families still might have some interest entanglements leading them to affiliate with Black and White Path, but Zhu Meili absolutely won’t.

That guy is truly aware, as a blood feud of the Black and White Path, no interest can make them unite their hearts.

Goddammit, why does someone like Old Dog exist in the game!
