Surviving The Fourth Calamity-Chapter 1558 - 136: A Vengeful Woman, Like a Movie Queen
"That kid Lind is a bit strange." ’Lu Huayu’ looked at the sky. "When he speaks, subconsciously, it’s a bit crooked... Hmm, it seems like he always wants to fool people, especially his sister, but if his eyes catch Ditte, they come back and start caring about family."
"Rose’s aftereffects? Only seeing his closest family?" ’Perfect Bald’ asked curiously, "Don’t you think he resembles the black cat still sleeping at Hill Castle? That Zholar Divine is the same, apart from Elisui, Villon doesn’t care about other blood relatives."
"Hmm? How do you Black Rose have communication with Villon? Is his awake time getting longer?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned to ask, "What did you guys go to do at Hill’s castle later?"
"When playing hide and seek with the Little Fairy, we went over there to catch people." ’Perfect Bald’ blinked.
"It’s because of Celene’s Power of Moonlight, which becomes quite apparent every full moon." ’Sui Chen’ walked in with a cold face, "Sometimes we take our animal companions up there to bask in the moonlight.
They say Celene’s Divine Power helps them realize themselves more clearly.
I guess it’s because our animal companions have grown strong enough to touch the edges of the Law, easily influenced by the ancestral bloodline memories."
He glanced at Baldy and slightly shook his head: "There’s no need to hide anymore; everything Ji Lanyuan knows is no secret."
"Villon and Elisui also become clear-headed under the moonlight... it should be Celene helping her little friend, and incidentally, her foolish brother, right?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled noncommittally... It’s only natural Baldy would do that.
Which family would share their exclusive advantages?
The Magic Cult, too, aims to enrich themselves.
Matters of life and death with the Alliance can be reported immediately; conveying them to other families after satisfying one’s interests makes for the best and most sincere ally.
"Indeed, but Elisui only speaks to girls, and Villon will voice his questions about things he doesn’t understand." ’Perfect Bald’ finally realized what he had overlooked... ’Ji Lanyuan’s betrayal isn’t just about their family’s interests in Aesces.
In Teraxil, Toril, even several small worlds, their family’s hidden maneuvers are likely to be exposed.
That perfidious one is a family executive!
Apart from some affairs solely related to these elders, there’s no need to keep other matters secret, whether good or bad.
The only consolation is that Hill’s Floating Castle isn’t accessible to just anyone... it’s not only about goodwill with Hill’s territory, but also the relationship with Hill personally.
Although Little Bear frequently appeared before the Undead Tribe, few truly befriended him... most were from their Black Rose.
Black and White Path barely has any, though Hill stayed in their territory, their interactions weren’t many.
In the Magic Cult, only Old Dog and a few around him could enter Hill’s private territory.
Oddly, it was ’Young Master’ who inexplicably got along well with Hill.
Even if this was spoken of, it wouldn’t matter much; for the Black Rose Family, who made it big in Toril, revealing what advantages their family gained isn’t an issue.
But, ’Perfect Bald’ bared his teeth: "The only advantage of this game is the past doesn’t matter, right? Old Dog."
Then he suddenly realized: "Hey~ Old Dog, do you think their Eden is coddling Ellie for some strange reason?
It seems, just to deal with our family and drive out our alliance, is a bit pointless?
There’s military exploits to earn in the Desert, isn’t there?
It’s just a fight, who are we afraid of?"
’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at him... Baldy, as expected, only seems rough. Finding out things about themselves might provoke discussion, he immediately brought up a more attention-grabbing issue: "I’m still researching this matter.
If your family encountered Edna, you’d understand this game has hidden storylines, likely unfolding different endings based on our fortune and attitude.
Who knows if they have that luck?
We can’t have everything.
William would consider balance, right?
In Toril, we’ve truly gained too much."
Old Dog’s Magic Cult almost monopolized Chult, the Black Rose doesn’t need mention, ’Young Master’s’ Youth Journey of the Wenjian World was arm in arm with the Little Fairy, even ’Lu Huayu’ acquired an Ambori.
In normal game logic, they’d indeed be subtly sanctioned by the developers... Not every world can grant their alliance the greatest benefits, right?
Because the early-bird advantage they had in entering this game should soon be ending... Hill remains the favoritist Hill, but hidden storylines might no longer be obtained from Hill.
"I’ve considered that, which is why I discouraged mentioning Ji Lanyuan’s name when there were many people around, and let that long-exposed spy serve as a target." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at Baldy, "You get it, right?"
’Perfect Bald’ nodded: "Yeah, that woman Romantic Drunk Red Dust pulled into the gang might be an exchange student from an old neighbor of ours in the country, and though she knows a lot about us, it’s just that.
Most people with a little brain figured she had a problem.
But, for Romance’s sake, no one said anything... As long as she isn’t privy to any real secrets, it’s fine.
So, last time, many thought we were talking about that little Cherry Blossom.
Anyway, Romance always wants to vent, let him act out a heart-wrenching betrayal drama when the time comes.
Ugh... Seriously, why do they still like using women as spies?"
It’s obvious, men are more dangerous!
As long as you can fight, you’ll do well in a family like ours."
"Are you stupid? Whether ’he’ or ’she’, who knows? After all, female characters in games always appear weaker." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ tilted his head and smiled: "Aren’t you all a bit surprised by my uncharacteristic indecision this time?
Heh~ Even in the game world, can there ever be an eternally strong Alliance?
Rising and falling is the law of nature.
After all, when you’re at your strongest, you’re also most prone to hidden enemies.
You all should understand, in Toril, our Alliance has benefited too much, and those spying... it’s not just Eden.
Without Paintbrush and Ji Lanyuan, there’d definitely be other problems too.
There are over a hundred million players! How much of that have we cornered... Rather than become a target, it’s better if we have some internal issues.
So, Baldy, you absolutely must hold back, don’t turn on them before they’ve pulled off something big.
This mess will start from your Black Rose, you should actually understand why... Unless Elder goes out to form a family himself, it’s only right you’re hit with so many hidden arrows.
Teraxil is home, the main city, Toril, is just the world for daily routines!
Your Black Rose members go out and the halo on you is stronger than any NPC’s bonus, who wouldn’t want to see you fall flat?
Aesces is just a place for fighting anyway, once you defeat the opponents, what’s left of value?
Who would stay in such a limited world and not return to their home turf?
There’s no way your Black Rose will stay! A place where you can’t even summon your piggy baby, what’s the point?
Let it be, then.
It’s best if Eden over there, rises to the heavens.
Then, those dissatisfied ones on our side won’t do anything... after all, they’re the true outsiders.
Even 1 cent an outsider snatches from us is more noteworthy than 100 bucks from our own people."
’Perfect Bald’ pursed his lips and nodded: "I understand.
I’m worried I won’t be able to hold back.
Then, besides during battles, I’ll come to your side."
"What about Cunlü and Elder?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help asking, "With their volatile tempers, can you keep them from... outright killing Ji Lanyuan?
This can’t be kept a secret, that ’Idiot’ knows everything.
Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"You really... know nothing about women." ’Huayu’ mused, "A woman full of revenge will show you what acting like a queen truly means."
"What do you mean?"
’Snow Cloud Peak’ quickly understood what it meant.
He was crouching behind a big tree, eyes fixed on the family reunion scene in front of him.
Whether it was the sharp-tongued ’Cunlü’, or the quick-to-act ’Old Age Striking King’, seeing that woman dressed like a Queen, called ’Ji Lanyuan’... Well, this woman’s thoughts have always been a bit unusual.
Girls of the Undead Tribe... the real ones, either like to dress provocatively sexy, or like pure princesses.
Or simply like ’Old Age Striking King’, adorning themselves as cute and charming young girls.
It’s rare for someone like ’Ji Lanyuan’ to dress up like the Evil Queen in Snow White.
They say you compensate for what you lack, Elder can never appear cute in reality, that’s why he has such a crazy fondness for lolis... Then what is ’Ji Lanyuan’ lacking?
Authority?
Has she never had a chance to speak in reality?
Thus, she lost her mind because of Paintbrush’s plea for help... ’Snow Cloud Peak’ could only use his rapidly spinning brain to suppress the terror from what he saw in front of him.
Damn, it’s terrifying!
When ’Cunlü’ was hugging that woman, her hand behind her back managed not to pull out a dagger and stab her!
How does ’Old Age Striking King’ show such... a kindly smile on his slightly aged young face?
’Snow Cloud Peak’ quietly retreated a few steps, using the nimblest movements of his life to swiftly exit the scene.
