Chapter 2245 - 820: How Is the Elder Killing So Cruelly?

’Snow Cloud Peak’ seemed confused: "Why do I not understand what you’re saying?"

He was a battle commander and had no interest in deep narrative depictions or anything like that.

Even when some information was needed, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ would directly pay professionals to purchase it... A PVP family must have such awareness; those truly willing to explore these mysteries hardly come to fight with you every day.

For people who love fighting, if you have them hunch over a desk, the final result will inevitably be them switching families.

If you don’t even know the attributes of your own commanding person, failure naturally shadows you.

He wasn’t here to make money from the game, so ’Snow Cloud Peak’ never anticipated the family, including Alliance members, to work for free on this aspect.

Of course, they only provided raw materials, with no analytical process involved, but this was just what ’Snow Cloud Peak’ needed.

Things in the game, no matter how complex, are just that; the strategic analysis lessons he attended weren’t in vain, nor was his first-place achievement a waste.

"Ah, you don’t know? There’s a Book of Darkness related to Shaer." ’Perfect Baldy’ grinned foolishly, grabbing his side ponytail, "Though Edna claims to collect Naish scrolls, the things those mages hand in include pages from the Book of Darkness.

Edna collected them all."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ furrowed his brow: "Does she not need many pages?"

Otherwise, Edna would have to give some kind of hint.

But as soon as she makes any move, Shaer would inevitably sense it.

Such conditions imply there’re some evil mages trying to fish in troubled waters... Much like him, when Black Rose collected books, she certainly knew nothing.

But Edna must know... Everyone involved in the Black Rose mission received a thin little letter box.

Only pages that could be put into this box would grant the mage delivering them the unlimited, three-year admission pass.

"Anyway, we collected three black pages altogether." ’Perfect Baldy’ answered with a chuckle, "But we received six gold ones!

There’re also over ten silver ones."

How many pages were there in total for the Nyscroll!

’Snow Cloud Peak’ shook his head... This girl Edna truly has her wits about her.

She must have set that box so only pages at a certain energy level could be tucked in.

Only this way, the mages handing over pages wouldn’t feel that she was targeting Shaer.

Otherwise, someone would definitely leak this... Shaer doesn’t have many followers, but there are many influential figures interacting with her followers.

Besides, Edna’s little trick wasn’t intended to confront Shaer but was to complete her mission... Reclaiming the Weave entirely under Mystra’s control.

Though the Shadow Weave had been grappled away by the Weave, everyone knew that the primordial energy web woven by Shaer certainly retained much of the Goddess of the Night’s power.

Even if Shaer lost control of the Shadow Weave, it didn’t mean Edna could control it.

Though she wasn’t very willing to work, Edna wouldn’t want a backdoor to her house hung with another’s lock... Although that person already lost the key to open the door, it wouldn’t suffice.

Edna might even dream about Midnight’s explosive death.

So she would undoubtedly try to expel Shaer’s energy from the Shadow Weave... She truly couldn’t do much about the Primordial Darkness, but Edna didn’t have such grand ambition!

She just wanted to change the lock.

No, maybe it’s about directly dismantling the door and replacing it with a thick wall.

As for Shaer being able to summon away the Shadow Weave outside the wall using Primordial Darkness power, Edna wouldn’t care.

Three pages from the Book of Darkness may not serve many purposes, but they still act as the key to open the lock, demolish the door... The purest Primordial Darkness naturally attracts those blotted Shaer powers within the Shadow Weave.

"Did she return that thing to Shaer?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ contemplated for a while and instantly understood why Shaer acted this way.

If those Book of Darkness pages, including the power contained within them, remained in Edna’s possession, they would pose a greater threat to Shaer.

Many times, what distinguishes resentment from hatred is just this step.

Especially threatened is the Goddess of the Night.

Yet, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ felt Shaer’s attitude showed she only held resentment but not hatred.

"Of course, it’s been returned!" ’Perfect Baldy’ nodded matter-of-factly, "Edna didn’t want a door belonging to others on her wall, so she temporarily borrowed the universal key from her opposition.

But that thing is so pricey! Temporarily borrowing it is okay, directly withholding it would be a crime!"

’Snow Cloud Peak’ looked at him with a strange expression: "Baldy, how many years have we known each other? Why do you still disgust me like this?

Don’t forget, I’m standing here because you need me, not..."

’Perfect Baldy’ suddenly widened his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about?

Isn’t this mutually beneficial?

If you have the skills to go, do you have the skills to see this kind of live broadcast?

Don’t tell me you plan to send someone to follow the Elder inside!

Ha~

Who can you send?

That’s the Elder!"

Following the most vengeful Elder in that foul-smelling, narrow sheep trail?

Even Zhu Meili, who loves to PUA her subordinates, couldn’t do that!

But if you’re tracking from a distance, what’s the point?

’Snow Cloud Peak’ sighed lightly... Just like he said before, after spending so much time together, dealing with someone like ’Perfect Bald’ is inevitably tough.

Still, as ’Perfect Bald’ said, he surely can’t ignore it.

The reason why those hidden in the alley didn’t do anything to completely destroy their secrets is because, although the ’Old Age Striking King’ is terrifyingly strong, she’s still just one person.

If another Undead Tribe with similar abilities as ’Old Age Striking King’ rushes in, no matter how safe he seems, even looking like an enemy of ’Old Age Striking King’, the mastermind behind the scenes wouldn’t hesitate.

The time ’Snow Cloud Peak’ has spent with Josh isn’t long, but he’s teamed up with Dawn Elect quite a bit on Toril, so he’s familiar with these folks’ abilities.

They’re indeed very similar to the ’Young Master’ in certain aspects... It’s not that they can’t see those conspiracies and hidden currents, they’re just too lazy to deal with them.

Don’t be fooled by the ’Young Master’ acting dumb and naive all day,

but if someone truly crosses their line, they’ll absolutely regret it for life.

The setbacks they face in the game are, rather, a special life experience for these real Young Masters... Providing them with a rare opportunity to grow without suffering in reality!

The ’Young Master’ has been tinkering in this game for so long, why does everyone still believe the hatred between Wenjian and Doomsday can’t be resolved... Isn’t it because everyone remembers the fun with Road Eunuch and his ex-wife!

But this game’s been out for so many years, that major setback the ’Young Master’ suffered is the one everyone remembers even now.

’Perfect Bald’s’ rants have been updated countless times, yet in everyone’s memory, the ’Young Master’ is still stuck in that na?ve blunder.

The Dawn Elect have a similar demeanor.

Just like in Toril, after all these years, although the Goddess of Magic is nominally in her third, actually fourth term, everyone’s memory of the Lord of Dawn still revolves around that Dawn Calamity?

Memory of the Dawn Elect also remains in that period.

So, the reason Josh ignores these people in the refugee camp isn’t because he can’t understand, but because he’s too lazy to care, doesn’t want to deal with it.

Anyone who can pull off tricks under Josh’s command must be extremely cautious.

No matter whether these actions touch Josh’s bottom line, if he feels they might, his reaction will be very fierce.

And if he doesn’t feel this matter will catch Josh’s attention, why would he let his people live in this hellhole?

Everyone who’s in charge knows... Getting your subordinates to work, and letting them work in the cesspool, are definitely not the same kind of costs.

These Intermediate Level fighters killed by the Elders could definitely hold their own in the refugee camp.

To keep such subordinates honestly crouched here, and almost getting wiped out by the ’Old Age Striking King’ while still fighting to the death, requires payment beyond just material costs.

"Why aren’t they running?" ’Perfect Bald’ looked puzzled at the nearly finished battlefield, "Even Sel’s Red-robed Skeletons retreat at times like this."

"Those Skeletons run because the Mage summoning them is dead, duh?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said irritably, "They’re undead creatures summoned from the Bottomless Abyss, not regular Skeletons from the Undead Scourge, they have intelligence."

"There... is one!" ’Perfect Bald’ pointed at a muscular man whose throat was choked by the ’Old Age Striking King’, full of fear, pleading while still showing hatred, "Look how expressive he is."

"What did that guy do?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’s’ first response had nothing to do with ’Perfect Bald’s’ question, "I remember Elder always disliked torturing intelligent NPCs."

Slapping to death and choking to death are entirely different matters.

"While Elder was bouncing around, it seems this guy slapped her ass." The ’Magic Sword’, squatting in the back recording something, said softly.

"Hmm?" ’Perfect Bald’ tilted his head.

"Then the guy seemingly said, that must be a weak spot." ’Magic Sword’ muttered with a lowered head, "There’s no flesh, can poke directly."

The expression in ’Snow Cloud Peak’s’ eyes solidified.

Though ’Old Age Striking King’ plays a loli character, the soul inside definitely isn’t!

He was at a loss for words, after all, even someone like ’Magic Sword’ was questioning whether it was inappropriate to say this!
