Surviving The Fourth Calamity
Chapter 2270 - 845: Why Are Only We on the Pillar?
’Snow Cloud Peak’ was still a bit hesitant: "Going out so early means all the endurance till now would be meaningless!
Let’s watch and wait for now.
After all, isn’t sitting the same anywhere?"
’Magic Sword’ turned to look at him: "In other places, at least you can look at the scenery on the monitor.
But here?
You can only look at the system channel, what’s even worth sitting for?"
"Don’t speak!" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ looked serious, "Especially not with a question mark!"
"Is that my fault?" ’Magic Sword’ shouted disgruntledly, "It’s not me, it’s those idiots down there who are morons, drawing the lightning attracting array underneath the lightning rod to ignite for power generation?"
Hill blinked.
’Magic Sword’ wasn’t wrong in what he said.
The stone pillar they were sitting on was quite interesting.
The Earth’s resistance to spells has reached a terribly formidable level.
Thus, even those who can utilize Underworld powers can only block these forces at the door rather than directly dissolve them.
However, the Earth is unwilling to accept this resistance.
These stone pillars are the Earth’s most intense rebellion.
Even those strong beings can only accept these towering pillars and choose to do their own little maneuvers in between them.
Of course, this is also because the area they are in is several kilometers deep underground, with a very wide expanse.
Like the underground corridor Hill built under the Tower of Dark Enigma, it doesn’t cause this kind of reaction.
But you can tell from the screen, these people don’t ignore these pillars’ resistance to magic... Also, certainly, the closer to these pillars one is, the less possible it is to engrave a magic array!
The magic array built by the gem ship, which spans a radius of 30 meters around the center point, is actually within a similar pillar zone.
It’s dozens of meters away from all the pillars.
However, ’Snow Cloud Peak’, ’Magic Sword’, and ’Perfect Bald’ still unexpectedly resurrected on this pillar.
And they clearly can’t leave.
An unusual magical attraction shifted the core point originally set in the array’s center to the top of this pillar.
Then those whispering, chattering Undead Tribe members downstairs clearly couldn’t find the reason.
Even if ’Snow Cloud Peak’ and the others did nothing, the enemies below would have started arguing themselves... What they don’t understand is why, since those three would resurrect above no matter what, they can’t do the same.
It’s certainly not because of the Elemental Body. After all, those Undead Tribe members are, too.
’Snow Cloud Peak’ also wanted to know the reason: "Do we three have something special?
Level, magical power or such surely aren’t it, mages and knights have nothing in common in these aspects."
"Do we share a common BUFF?" asked ’Perfect Bald’, who was crouching on the stone pillar’s edge and watching the arguing crowd below with interest.
"Are you talking about blessings?" ’Magic Sword’ scratched his head, "Edna, Lansendel, and Tyr’s blessings, we have them all.
But not all of those below are without them, right?
There are a few people there I’ve certainly seen before.
Although they aren’t from the Proud Sky Alliance, they’ve been part of the battle from the start."
"Old Dog, did you take that mission?" ’Perfect Bald’ blinked.
"Which one? Are you daydreaming?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ sat cross-legged in the middle of the pillar, asking irritably... As a person not very handy nor nimble, he couldn’t even manage to squat on the edge to watch the fun.
He could accidentally fall to his death.
He touched his feather cloak, feeling the eerie wind inside the underground cave, but ’Snow Cloud Peak’ still couldn’t bear to put it away.
Even though his body wasn’t affected by heat or cold, it didn’t stop him from feeling chilly.
Although the cloak made him even clumsier, unstable when approaching the edge.
But someone who easily falls anyway doesn’t have to worry about an additional burden.
"It’s that mission announced by the Silver Archbishop from Celene, to escort female peasants to Luskan!" ’Perfect Bald’ muttered, "I don’t believe you can’t guess what I’m talking about.
We only have that one borderline mission.
The Deepwater City’s Archbishop doesn’t even dare to issue missions in Agleya, he only grabs people along the roadside to accept them.
Ha~ who doesn’t know!
True peasants, even with a moral standard not so high, Hill’s array would still determine they could enter Agleya’s outer village.
As long as they want to live a peaceful life, allowing themselves to forget the mistakes they made out of necessity, their alignment can still be converted back.
Laundry women in Deepwater with a bit of an unconventional side job, honestly staying in the village for two or three years, can mostly pass the testing and go to work in Agleya.
Only those who err again would be completely banished from Agleya.
Hill has never been the type to cut them off entirely, he’s actually quite willing to give those who had no choice a chance to reclaim themselves.
Heh~
So, in the end, the ones who had to traverse a long distance to live in Luskan, we all can guess, they just don’t want to...
Besides, I don’t believe you can’t see that some people there are a bit too charming."
"Silvermoon Archbishop helps Shuni’s followers; isn’t that normal?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ pondered while stroking his chin, "But Shuni and Celene’s blessing tasks, we haven’t taken any, have we?"
The name of their eldest sister-in-law happens to be Shaer.
He’s not crazy, hanging a ray of moonlight on his head.
The Proud Sky Alliance has this consensus; ordinary tasks are acceptable, but those divine tasks must not be undertaken.
Fortunately, Silvermoon Devotees are always exclusive, especially disliking males, even elves.
In addition, the Lord of Agleya clearly doesn’t like that Silver Archbishop of Deepwater City... Hill seems to have a slightly better attitude towards the Archbishop of the Luna Sect.
"But Silvermoon will mark us, and so will Shuni." ’Perfect Bald’ slapped his thigh, "Like the elder ones, they would never take such tasks.
Also, that Silvermoon Archbishop won’t go looking for anyone she doesn’t feel familiar with."
’Snow Cloud Peak’ finally realized: "How does she determine who is familiar enough?"
"That Silvermoon Devotees’ cemetery outside Agleya City," ’Magic Sword’ reminded with disinterest, "we all tried the Moonlight Wall back then."
’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
Although he didn’t want to follow ’Magic Sword’s line of thinking, he was still quite aware that, as one of the rare data statisticians of the Proud Sky Alliance, ’Magic Sword’s summaries were usually not off track.
Celene, truly worthy of ’the free soul making free choices’...even their way of judging who might have a good impression of them is so free.
"None of those below have it, it’s the mark of Silvermoon?" ’Perfect Bald’ pondered for a while before speaking.
In contrast, Shuni’s mark is likely to be found on just anyone.
Never mind that in most regions of Agleya, traces of the Shuni Church can’t be found, but they exist in Luskan, Kalinsan, and Anmur.
Shuni followers just don’t meet Hill’s bottom line... The Child of Nature never cares if those girls ’voluntarily’ walk into Shuni’s pink little rooms; what he doesn’t accept is that this ancient business enters his managed city.
But in other regions of Agleya, Hill isn’t that strict.
Due to the collapse of Deepwater City, Luskan turned into a trade hub between the North and central regions, featuring plenty of such things.
People from the Shuni Church are quite skilled at spending money to hire people to work.
They often employ the Undead Tribe to help buy specialties from the Icewind Valley.
And as long as they’re willing to accept their employment, the Undead Tribe will be stamped with a ’friendly faction’ mark.
Just like them, although the friendship with that side is maintained at ’friendly’... but this is, in fact, just the lowest level of favor.
The Goddess of Love and Beauty, Shuni, has no concept of neutrality on her reputation bar; once known, it starts from ’friendly’.
True neutrality is like the ’Old Age Striking King’ and those who haven’t even opened their reputation bar types.
That is to say, to Shuni, there are only three kinds of people in the world: strangers, friends, and enemies.
Even if everyone’s relationship with Shuni isn’t that good, more or less, they will have her mark.
"So, it’s still Celene?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said, bewildered.
-----------------
"It should be said, it’s the marks of Celene, Shuni, and Shaer combined that cause the impact, no?" Lansendel said with interest, "I remember the Black Rose and the Magic Cult both did missions in Chult.
Their Dark Moon marks far surpass those of Silvermoon and Fiery Hair."
He turned to Shaer: "It’s really interesting how the combined forces of you three can resonate with the land of this world..."
Shaer’s expression became a bit stiff.
Actually, everyone knew that Shuni’s presence is due to the clash of complementary yet opposing powers between her and Celene.
To put it another way, it’s the combination and clash of yin and yang.
This dual-core world having such a resonance is really quite normal.
She slowly shifted the topic: "The only Undead Tribe entering Chult with Celene’s high favor are those from the Proud Sky Alliance.
Because of Nasir."
Even stepping into the land, Shaer wouldn’t let her presence be so conspicuous.
So, the Dark Moon favor of the Undead Tribe entirely depends on Nasir.
As a follower of Shaer, Nasir also doesn’t like receiving too much attention.
So, while allowing all Undead Tribe members to appear in those coastal cities of Chult and giving them numerous daily tasks, only those who have activated his Nasir favor... that is, those appearing beside him on the Path of Destiny... can enter the most central Temple of the Dark Night in Chult.
There aren’t many people there indeed.
-----------------
"Old Dog." ’Perfect Bald’ suddenly remembered something, "Don’t let them die when you call people to come down!
This pillar can accommodate us three only because I’m small enough!"
Although there are still a few things they can’t figure out, people with buffs identical to theirs are all their allies.
