Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1654 - 232: So, You Have Something for Us to Do

Lucimar glanced at the Clan Leader who seemed young at first glance, feeling like there was a shadow dancing behind him, nearly bursting the veins on his forehead.

He definitely didn’t want to get involved in the Undead Tribe’s hidden intrigues... anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t.

Anyway, this Commander of the Undead Tribe, the Alliance Hierarch of Proud Sky, his words and actions left Lucimar feeling a chill, making him cautious even when questioning.

In front of Grand Mage Belfran’s playful arrogance, he absolutely wouldn’t dare to show it at ’Snow Cloud Peak’... that person might treat him like a joke and discard him casually.

This one might even stomp on him before tossing him away.

Lucimar understood that, if not for his strong instinct for gaining benefits and avoiding harm, he might long have fallen into an unknown plight... probably faring worse than the unfortunate Ellie.

He definitely wouldn’t help ’Mobi Chenxin’ by saying anything, not even smoothing things over... even though logic dictates that he should maintain harmony with the Clan Leader of Black and White Path, as he would be cooperating and regularly interacting with this person in the future.

Lucimar believed that as long as ’Snow Cloud Peak’ remained in Aesces, he would diligently adhere to their agreement.

As for what happens in the future... it would depend on the will of Aesces.

In the future, he would be aligned with the World Master, wouldn’t he?

Just following the will of his Main God... he would surely become a devout believer.

So he silently moved back two steps, leaning lightly against the cliff, his posture resembling ’Susu’ on the opposite side against the wall, motionless.

Lucimar felt that he could wait until the undercurrent-laden conversation between these two ended, then approach them for an agreement and have them stamp it, the Undead Tribe could use him however they pleased.

After all, his soul had found solace, his body could be more carefree.

Then he promptly began silently praying devoutly to Aesces, with genuine gratitude in his heart.

No one could understand how vibrant and bright his current mood was, he was exultant!

These decades of troublesome days finally coming to an end!

From discovering the strangeness of the woman who bore him, to diligently searching for clues, through all kinds of failures, ultimately growing disheartened and distant, even suspecting he would definitely end up in Hell, Lucimar felt like he was living like a kite with a broken string.

As for the Great Sage Ismael whose first reaction was doubting if he was that woman’s son... only a fool would think he’s an exceptional father.

Otherwise, why would his life be so miserable?

No place to belong, nowhere to take refuge.

As for those... never mind, they are, after all, the ones who gave birth to him, let’s not speak too harshly, it’s best to part ways and have nothing to do with each other.

Anyhow, now with the assistance of the Undead Tribe, the World Master has beckoned to him.

He, Lucimar, after drifting for 70 years, finally had a day to put down roots!

Never mind that the oasis environment in the desert isn’t perfect... the Mage Family tried to attack Cain Valley because those oasis arrays have become ineffective... he’s content to sacrifice his future.

Upon returning, he planned to study specialized water condensing formations.

As long as the pool of water in the oasis is retained, even in the toughest places, one can survive.

Additionally, with the Undead Tribe, wherever they operate, the environment actually improves slightly... their bodies are essentially a condensation of Elemental Energy.

As long as they’re willing to help form an array, conjuring Light Rain is feasible.

He might end up working harder in the future, but it wouldn’t be excessively challenging.

Lucimar took a glance at the two people locked in verbal sparring... the Clan Leader of Black and White Path actually had resigned himself, all his struggles were merely to unsettle ’Snow Cloud Peak’.

Yet, no matter how fierce the words, it was ultimately meaningless.

Lucimar could see beneath his facade of strength, his weak soul trembling.

In the typical state of the Undead Tribe, this shouldn’t be happening... their hierarchical differences are more about ability and willingness to contribute, rarely about status.

Let alone any issues about attitude.

So, did this Clan Leader of Black and White Path commit some sort of betrayal in the past?

Thus, even unwillingly, he still handed over power he could’ve fought for?

Lucimar quickly shook his head, telling himself not to dwell on these troubles of the Undead Tribe... in this regard, he should learn from the stubborn Lind and avoid distractions by not observing or contemplating anything.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ enthusiastically persuaded ’Mobi Chenxin’.

The opponent even promised to set off with Bai Nishang and her group, agreeing to slightly protect the large crew.

Although Ink Brush avoided mentioning a certain beautiful pig, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ felt that his long-held grievances finally dissipated this time.

Being one to repay favors and exact revenge swiftly, he had dragged this matter out especially because of Black and White Path’s members, who followed Ink Brush with ambitions half-abandoned, struggling to this day, he had to consider.

After all, Black and White Path isn’t yet fully out like the other clans~

’Snow Cloud Peak’ thought very clearly that those who remain on the Black and White Path and are harboring resentment toward Zhu Meili’s existence are those family members who have been following Ink Brush for a long time... These people undoubtedly supported Ink Brush’s ambition back then.

As for those ordinary members who joined later, even if they know that Zhu Meili has a feud with the family, since they haven’t been directly affected, they wouldn’t take it too seriously.

Heh~ isn’t this perfect.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ leisurely turned his head to look at Lucimar: "Mr. Lucimar, it seems you think there’s no issue whichever oasis you decide to go to?

Even directly confronting Luciella is not a problem, right?"

"Of course. Even if that lady herself comes, I don’t care.

Since the World Master has confirmed that I’m a person of this world... then I’m just an unlucky guy who’s long lost his mother." Lucimar nodded and then hesitantly asked, "But, what about Rose?"

"You can, hand her over to me~" came a soft female voice from the shadows.

Lucimar quickly turned his head to look... Rose!

But, that was not Rose.

Even though it’s her body, the face displayed nothing but craftiness and malice.

"Who are you! Get out of Rose’s body!" Lucimar shouted angrily, and then was pulled behind by ’Snow Cloud Peak’.

"Respected Lady Rose, what are you trying to do this time?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ asked helplessly, "Is there anything you need us to do?"

"Heh~ would you really be willing to help me?" Rose looked at him with interest.

"In this world, Coron chose silence." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ replied with a smile.

Rose’s face darkened instantly: "Damned fool, who needs him to keep silent?"

’Snow Cloud Peak’ looked at her in confusion... Why is Rose’s incarnation so temperamental?

Rose also seemed bewildered: "Ah... Is this body’s nature so fiery?"

Lucimar responded swiftly by asking: "Is Rose still there?"

"I’m just borrowing her body, that’s all." Rose glanced at him, "I can’t do much in this world. If it weren’t for the existing cracks in her soul, I wouldn’t have been able to take control so easily.

Rest assured, she is still herself. I’ve just put her spirit to sleep in the Mental Sea.

Isn’t this perfect?

You’re worried she might tell that madman about your affairs, yet don’t want to kill her. I, on the other hand, need a conduit to connect with the crazy lady."

"So, at what level of Professional would you not be able to take action?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ immediately asked.

"Level 5." Surprisingly, Rose answered.

"Ah... it seems you indeed have something you want to instruct the Undead Tribe." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said amicably, "As long as it doesn’t violate our fundamental principles, we don’t mind whether those who cooperate with us belong to the Evil Faction.

After all, in the world of deities, mortals are too insignificant, and right or wrong is only relevant when we are affected."

"Ah... no wonder Shaer admires you so much." Rose smiled faintly, though she wore the same robe as Rose originally did, it inexplicably conveyed a sense of darkness and evil charm, "Heh~ your bottom line is actually not to harm mortal lives, nor to compromise your own deities’ interests... how eloquent, yet it’s all nonsense.

Luckily, I have long been aware of your identity and... the binding that makes it impossible for you to commit evil even if you wanted to.

Tsk~ You could act recklessly, yet you’re so restrained, are you actually content?

Forget it, it’s not my concern.

My target this time is not Coron or the Elves, and has little to do with Toril.

I want Gaia."

"Though we share a common enemy, on our side, we can’t and don’t have the ability to undertake tasks that exceed mortal limits." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said resolutely.

"Would I rely on you?" Rose sneered, "All I require is for you not to interfere with me.

Don’t think I don’t know that during this time, you’ve sold items to this little girl that can hinder my Natural Power."

She looked up at the suddenly frozen white clouds overhead: "That little one’s truly capable!

Despite being so young, he’s managed to create a natural being that can harm Divine Power.

However, you’d best pass along a message from me.

I may be lenient with him due to the World Tree, but that doesn’t mean I won’t deal with him when he causes me trouble!"

’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help but laugh: "Lady Rose, we are well aware of Hill’s combat prowess.

If you truly wish to deal with him, you’d likely have to appear with the Spider Magic Net, right?

If such a disturbance occurs, Coron would probably wait for you right where you stand."
